Greetings, Get the 1) stable kernel ( if you use <=2.4.19 ) , 2) Acpi patch , 3) ospmd , 4) swsusp 5 ) Patch the kernel with all that 6 ) su root | cd /usr/src/LINUX/ | make menuconfig | *** *** , load alternative config ( So that way you wont lose the default config of your current compiled kernel , as for <M> <*> 7 ) Make your changes about acpi/APM , ( Try to keep only the main Advanced Power Management and not the ones within , so only the ACPI ones , all of'em not the CPU enumerator only ) 8 )Save your changes 9 )exit 10 ) make bzImage clean **modules**( or make dep ) = make bzImage | make clean | make modules ***Hint*** Learn to save/load alternative configurations , in the near future it may save you from lots of troubles ** Keep in mind that by making modules , you need to install them so if something goes wrong don't you worry you can get'em back by rpm -ivh --nodeps k_defltXXX.rpm and removing k_deflt , k_source 11 ) make modules install 12 A( ) GRUB/LILO ? A )GRUB : just (1) type GRUB | (2) root (hd0,X) | (3)setup (hd0,X) (4) reboot | (5) mk_initrd ( you get that way your splash screen back as well () If you get a kernel panic due to VFS etc , make sure you've checked either as <*> either as <M> within your kernel's configuration ( and it's reiserFS ) the reiserFS support , and if <M> you must make modules install otherwise you need'em as (included in your kernel instead) another : the scsi emulation if you're on laptop and your combo is the new ones which emulates scsi and sure to check which ones you got as <M> and <*> So If you checkd all that just try : within your grub's prompt root (hd0,X) | setup (hd0,X) | kernel=/boot/vmlinuz | initrd=/boot/initrd | chainloader (hd0,X)+1 ( try +21 if +1 doesnt work ) | boot ( you should get your boot menu and keep going with the boot process ) () (hd0,X) ie : (hd0,1) Farewell

Greetings , In any case , let's suppose your server is the one with XP. To your Linux Box : To use samba , install the necessary packages To mount a shared folder from your XP to you linux box using samba mount -t smbfs -o username=XXX ( password field aint necessary , cause either you got either you dont have a passwd ( which in that case you just press ENTER anyway ) asks you by itself ) so : mount -t smbfs -o username=XXX //winXPpcName/ShareFolder'sName /mnt/MOUNTPOINT ***MOUNTPOINT*** must be present before all that. That way you mount a shared folder. Now as for the LAN/share INTERNET connection,what are we talking about here...DSL , DIALUP ? Farewell

Greetings, Samba will do the trick , AS for the internet share it'll be real easy , which one you want for server though ? XP or your linux BOX? () Keep in mind that the mount will be ReadOnly or you need to allow others to modify the shared folder ... ??? Just state your problem , and be more specific about everything so you can be helped Cheers

Greetings , I Thought would be great to have an "open" topic which we can all talk/ask and share knowledge and opinions & thoughts about this issue I'd like to share with you and that's why i made a start of something like this Here we can discuss about DvD & Games performance not only within X and in general about our box's performance So here we go ... Using xine-ogle-mplayer is kinda great watching our movies Playing some games within X which are using 3D ( if out card supports 3D within X ) The first thing which we must check is our hardware , then if our hardware's is supported by our distro and the related applications Xine,ogle,mplayer , both of'em in their project sites have some info about the performance. Xine - http://dvd.sourceforge.net/xine-howto/en_GB/html/howto-9.html Ogle - http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/ The most important is ( if it's supported ) to enable DMA ( stands for direct memory access ) so we can get a better performance of our combo/dvd/cdrom/cdrw/hdd We can check if it's enabled with hdparm /dev/hda | /dev/hdc And much more which will be discused concerning our problems or thoughts,opinions As for games , we can execute 3Ddiag to get some info and switch to : /usr/X11R6/bin/switch2xf86_glx if it's necessary *16/24bit* within X could cause the non 3D usage and vice versa Farewell To be continued ...

Greetings , To Enable 3D is easy,the direct rendering is working though ? We type : glxinfo |grep rendering If what returns is Yes then we're set , otherwise we need to use the scripts to switch mesa,glx and perhaps install the necessary packages , devel and such Cheers

Greetings , Check daily Frozen Bubble's SIte cause guess what ? THERE'S MORE TO COME for everybody , levels , updated versions.And all that for everyone!!! Cheers

Greetings , Happens all the time with me too, i guess it's something like a coincidence , or due to my browser's options ... or something else ? Actually it was keep reDirecting me to .com instead of .org I tried with galeon instead of konqueror and .org worked like a charm ()Konqueror , i dont keep cookies or cache , so i was suprised , cause every time i was typing blabla.org that was doing the .org .com all the time and the popup for confirmation occured all the time Anyway Cheers

Greetings , For all of you on SuSE 8.X pro/per This might help : ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.sus...3.0-SuSE/suse81 Farewell

Greetings , as root : rpm -e k_deflt --nodeps rpm -e the source you've installed that too --nodeps Then reboot and start the installation of redhat and install again the default kernel from your CD's Farewell.

The only thing that makes me ;( about linux is the need of new libs and when you try to get one lib needs another one and that train aint stopping till brakes your @@ for good I wanted to get perl dvd rip to work so i could rip my loved one movies and all i get is lots of cocaine doses just to keep me trying avifile>=0.7.27 libaviplay-0.7.so.0 liblzo.so.1 Where i could get these ? If someone could help me out about it or give me a site so i could find all the needed(all together cause ahm really tired looking 1-2 hours for each file and finaly wanted something else) and a dvd rip prog i'd appreciate it Farewell

Hi again , Well actually no,i'll give it a try I'm kinda used to it ... 'beta testing' and in general try out anything at all,even distros to see their variatons,newer/older versions of apps etc.So it's not heavy.I guess i'll find out how to fix this,somehow... Lately i was working on going deeper with winex3 to get more games to work.That kinda stuff And some raceSims for linux SuSE is quite good but i dont use YaST for ext programs/libs etc , Rpms/tars's the thing. () YaST seems to have hard time on installing packages Transcode-> when i was trying to update from 0.X.3 i tried within YaST but no luck(lots of deps).So i switched to console and rpm -ivh file.rpm|rpm -Uvh file.rpm and no deps at all,kinda weird huh ? I'll see what's wrong with that too. Anyway thank you for your time. I can steal time once/twice a week to share with you a bit of everything Be good and we can meet here again PS Let me know if you find out anything else and i'll let you know as well about how it went that apt-get thing GhostSong

Greetings , I was into search for some 'options' which could be included within /etc/X11R6/XF86Config myself too. If i found out something else about vga/hdd/and in general anything at all that'll help our box run smoothly i'll let you know and we can post'em in here so we can share everything with eveyrone Farewell

Greetings , I did that Actually dealt with the deps as well. 2of'em.Alu and apt-get-pkg i think ? Anyway the thing about that apt-get is that always says that the ver is the latest and just exits ie : apt-get update glibc apt-get install glibc Keeps telling me that the ver installed is the latest. LOL Even with qt3 that i've tried cause i need to update my qt-3.0.5 to qt-3.1.X. Still no dice. Now either i wait to update to 8.2 ( SuSE pro ) or i try more with tar/rpm. apt-get excausted me so i wont stick with that.I'll try the old fashion way to update'em Thank you again for your concern man I'll let you know when something comes up with these Farewell

Hi there Someone knows what "Select /usr/bin/newaliases" means while i try to install amavis within Yast ? Says amavis requires /usr/bin/newaliases which is there (SuSE 8.1 pro) Thank you

Greetings , I'll check it out , let's get those spam/amavis things in order Farewell

Greetings , You can check the following as well Knoppix http://www.knoppix.org/ nBench http://www.tux.org/~mayer/linux/bmark.html http://www.bitmover.com/lmbench/ Farewell

Greetings , We all know how painful is that spam thing with all the advs and all that kind of crap we don't care about for sure receiving with our other mails. Using kmail-evolution-pine or whatever , how is possible to configure spamassassin to do it's magic ? There's spamd and there's spamc. Both files must be copied in any path of our selection Then we have to make spamd to run in the background The invoke spamc instead of spamassassin where must be done ? Is there another way to avoid these spam crap ? If not how that invoke thing could be done ? I guess that issue is quite serious , i mean about spam in general and we all trying to figure out a better way to deal with it. I'm open to any conversation with you about that subject and it'll be much appreciated if someone of you could tell me how that spamassassin configuration must be done. Farewell

Hi there I need someone expert about compiling the kernel When in X the battery is with X and says that i need at least to enable control method battery and AC adaptor I compiled the kernel all ACPI apm are enabled but still no dice rcapmd status Checking for apmd:unused apmd No APM support in kernel uname -a Linux SoftParade 2.4.19-4GB #1 Wed Sep 25 18:58:10 UTC 2002 i686 unknown Acpid is the only one that seems to run. ( ) Within the bios there's nothing about ACPI APM Cause it's a new laptop I have to add that before i log into X if i press the button to suspend the monitor goes off but when i log in X there's no action at all. Anyone ? Any help will be grateful Thank You Farewell

Greetings , Allright with the kernel.Acpi/bluetooth/irda Every thing works great , like Rock The steps to deal with the kernel panic were ( if you configured with reiserFS / scsi emulation within the kernel's options otherwise these were the causes ) are a) root (hd0,1) setup (hd0,1) c) kernel=/boot/vmlinuz d) initrd=/boot/initrd e) chainloader (hd0,1)+1 ( or +21 ) f) boot Farewell

Greetings , The first guy who started with his post was talking about windows ? Cause i think i saw something about powerdvd etc. If yes,then you can try with `remote selector' www.visualdomain.net <------ You can obtain that from there I remember'd that cause i was using RSelector with my dxr3 when i was using windows Otherwise if it's not about the software that'll do the trick as well.Check it's site. You can also update your firmware.Which you must be kinda cautious though. As for linux , well no region problem at all. Farewell

Greetings , Try as well to change your vga to vesa typical you know what i'm talking about , and the max resolution that's supported by your monitor and choose hz normal values. See where you go from there All these in case what i've told you before don't do anything () That one solved many problems due to some incompatible issues between ati various cards | TFT monitors Farewell

Greetings , By the way , After the chainloader (hd0,1)+1 (try +21 as well instead of 1) ( which that's his use/job ) You'll get both win as optional and linux at your menu to select as there are the boot options as well. Farewell

Greetings , I once saw that very same problem at somebody else too which occured due to wrong configuration.I mean he probably used `the finger' you know against his bootloader's configuration That freeze you get is cause your bootloader's fucked up real good Now , try to reinstall grub 1st Then , () you compiled your kernel as well ? Type grub , when you get it's prompt a) root (hd0,1) setup (hd0,1) c) kernel=/boot/vmlinuz d) initrd=/boot/initrd e) chainloader (hd0,1)+1 f) boot * Try if with the above steps you got the same freeze to jump the (f) step and write reboot instead and then mk_initrd * Farewell
