  2. Tomorrow is the day?

    Anybody knows why the web interface for the Mandrake firewall (mnf-en) is not present in 2006.0, while it was there in 10.2/2005LE?

    Actually it was a nice/convenient interface for Mandy's firewall, removing it means that either there's something better (what? certainly not the webmin firewall administration module!), or Mandy decided that this is not free anymore...

     

    Who knows, there were a lot of things that got the boot to accomodate alot of intel stuff, AFAIK!

  5. nvidia controller | ethernet [solved]

    in Networking

    Posted

    Yuk, this keeps getting messier by the minute.

     

    Networking is still playing up despite removing IPv6, still a lottery, however I have discovered that if I change a network setting through MCC, and either try to connect then, or even if I revert the settings back and then connect, i can get connected no problem! Sounds like a file somewhere is getting mashed.....eek!

     

    As for nvnet, well I installed the module no problem there, however when I try to set up the interface using the MCC and select nvnet manually the readme file suggests using autoprobe, well that's a no go as when I click on it I am whizzed back to the screen showing the devices and drivers....eek again.

     

    While the readme gives the parameters for setting up nvnet manually, too many variables I know nothing about.. arrrrrgggghhhhhhh!

  7. nvidia controller | ethernet [solved]

    in Networking

    Posted

    Don't know if it will help, but I know of some ethernet problems with ipv6 enabled.

     

    Try disabling ipv6 by adding:

     

    alias net-pf-10 off

     

    to /etc/modprobe.conf

     

    to find out if ipv6 is enabled before doing it, type ifconfig -a and if you see a sit0 device, it's enabled.  Also, you'll see an inet6 entry under the ethernet device eth0 or eth1 or both.

     

    Well this certainly done something, the boot process hangs for about 2 mins upon trying to bring up eth0, and subsequently fails (as before) however net_applet is able to conect eth0 almost instantly and with usually first time round.

     

    Dude,

     

    Post the results of "lspcidrake -v|grep ETHERNET"

     

    see whether your nVidia ethernet is listed along with your Marvel ethernet. I've been using nVidia ethernet with stock drivers and I've never used the nvidia drivers. My nForce2 MB has 3com as well as nVidia ethernet.

     

     

    :)

     

     

    Nothin on the exact command you quoted, however "lspcidrake -v|grep Ethernet" returns:

    forcedeth       : nVidia Corp.|Ethernet adapter [BRIDGE_OTHER] (vendor:10de device:00df subv:1458 subd:e000)

     

     

    To all

    Any of you guys shed some light as to what logs are created by the boot process, might have a look and compare with what ubuntu is doing (it works every time with no intervention).

     

    Cheers guys!

  8. nvidia controller | ethernet [solved]

    in Networking

    Posted · Edited by Reiver_Fluffi

    Hey there guys,

     

    Have problems with a tempremental internet connection and I'm sorry to say that the only problems I have are with Mandriva. I have two onboard ethernet ports, an nvidia ethernet controller (eth0) and a marvel yukon ethernet controller(eth1), along with the firewire port (eth2). I have been using the Marvell Yukon up until now, but as a need of the other OS's I have on the box I switched to the nvidia controller. This works fine with Win XP and Ubuntu, not a hitch in sight, however with Mandy I have encountered some problems.

     

    The verbose output upon boot shows that the systems hangs when trying to bring up eth0, and eventually returns with a failure message stating that Mandriva is unable to obtain the IP address from the device (point to note, my ISP uses DHCP). When I log into my user account, the network applet icon states that my network conection is down, I then have to right click and select conect eth0, which sometimes is a random event in itself sometimes it brings the network up instantly, sometimes it takes half a minute, some times it refuses to work, and sometimes it takes about 5 attempts!

     

    Any suggestions as to:

    1. What the problem may be?
    2. What logs/config files would be of use to me?
    3. Is the nforce 1.0-0306 driver installed in the powerpack along with the 7676 graphics driver? If not will it help?
    4. I know for sure that the nvidia controllers use the forcedeth, are there any noted problems as of late?

    My other (relevant?) hardware specs are:

    Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-K8NS Ultra-939

    CPU: AMD64 Athlon 3200+

    Ram: 2 x 512Mb DDR 400 (Dual chanelled)

     

    Oh and lisa had been disabled!

     

    Cheers

  11. network up the creek [solved]

    in Networking

    Posted

    OK, I turned off IPv6 (no noticeable effect but now I know how to do it  :D )

    I checked miscellaneous Internet settings in MCC and it tells me my connection type is adsl but does not let me alter this (I hate MCC so would really appreciate a command line method of doing this)

     

    Thanks for the help so far.

     

    Leo

     

    PS. I can ping the router using

    $ ping -c 3 -I eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

    but not any external ip addresses

     

    Leo,

     

    Quick questions, may be off the track a little, but I will ask none the less.

     

    Have you used the ethernet/network port before now?

    If so, Is it on board?

    And again if so, does it use the nVidia controller?

     

    Cheers

  15. OOo 2.0 RPM? [solved]

    Jeez, yer no askin for much :D

     

    OpenOffice2 has only just been released today, you ,may have to wait a week or so before rpm's are built. Who will build them, who knows? If Mandriva is snappy enough their packager will be on the case as soon as, or there mey be an unofficial packagre making the rpm's available. Whetever happens, you will have to wait for the news to filter!

     

    What's so wrong with the installer?

  17. Is Mandriva 2006 586 64bit only?

    The fact of the matter is that Linux Central "SHOULD NOT BE SELLING" the full powerpack discs, these have only been released for club members only!

     

    i586 should work on a P-III, my old box was a P-III which run i586 without any problems. Really you should return the disks and demand a refund as they are obviously bad copies!

    Edit: Nevermind I found out how to tweak to get the through torrent in a haste.

     

    Edit: Edit: Crap there blew the good conection

     

    It has taken me an hour and a half to get 2.6% of the DVD powerpack. Only 109 seeds and 513 Leeches. Download rate is slowly progressing, started off about 10KB's, now its just started to hit 40KB
