Hi ian, It has the entry as follows: nameserver <IP Address> I changed the address manually and restarted /etc/init.d/network but my changes were overwritten, so still no success! rohit.

Hi ian, I tried it all on my system, but nothing seems to work! rohit.

Hi ian, Well all that is done and checked. To my(and all) surprise, the network icon is showing connected now, but the problem now is no web browser is able to open up any website, although I can ping the linux box from another system and the other way round too... I can also ping my ISP gateway successfully. I tried firefox, konqueror, flock, opera and lynx. None of them are able to connect to any website! pleae help! rohit. :unsure:

Hi, First a bit of history: I have been for past couple of days trying to configure VPN client to work at home system. No success has been achieved on that front. So today, I wanted to remove those VPN network interfaces. I had three of them (in order from latest to oldest): ppp0,tun0,eth0. So first I stumbled across not finding a GUI to delete them, a quick google revealed: drakconnect --delete So I removed only the ppp0 interface. I rebooted, still the default interface was getting selected as tun0,previously ppp0 was selected. I manually selected eth0, the graphical icon showed that connection was successful :-) But a ping to the router resulted in an answer from the host itself. :huh: I pinged 192.168.1.1 and got response from 192.168.1.2, indicating some network error in the ping result. So I deleted the tun0 interface! Then I rebooted and saw problems relating to 1)DCOP server not being started(or not being readable) 2)Configuration files kfmclientrc and kdeglobals not writable These error screen came when I clicked the help option of the network icon(with a green tick or orange exclamation). Please help/suggest me what next to do :unsure: thanks, rohit.

Hi, Thanks to needie and scarecrow It was the fat32 partition that caused all this trouble. I shifted my codebase to an ext3 partition and it worked great! :P Thanks a ton to both of you for pointing this out! :D rohit.

Hi, yes the dir is a FAT32 filesystem. here's the output: [rkumar@localhost oawclassic.generatorwc.project]$ locale -a C CP1251 en en_AU en_AU.ISO-8859-1 en_AU.UTF-8 en_BE en_BE.ISO-8859-1 en_BE.ISO-8859-15 en_BE.UTF-8 en_BW en_BW.ISO-8859-1 en_BW.UTF-8 en_CA en_CA.ISO-8859-1 en_CA.UTF-8 en_DK en_DK.ISO-8859-1 en_DK.UTF-8 en_GB en_GB.ISO-8859-1 en_GB.UTF-8 en_HK en_HK.ISO-8859-1 en_HK.UTF-8 en_IE en_IE.ISO-8859-1 en_IE.ISO-8859-15 en_IE.UTF-8 en_IN en_IN.UTF-8 en_NG en_NG.UTF-8 en_NZ en_NZ.ISO-8859-1 en_NZ.UTF-8 en_PH en_PH.ISO-8859-1 en_PH.UTF-8 en_SG en_SG.ISO-8859-1 en_SG.UTF-8 en_US en_US.ISO-8859-1 en_US.UTF-8 en_ZA en_ZA.ISO-8859-1 en_ZA.UTF-8 en_ZW en_ZW.ISO-8859-1 en_ZW.UTF-8 hi hi_IN hi_IN.UTF-8 ISO-8859-1 ISO-8859-13 ISO-8859-14 ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-2 ISO-8859-3 ISO-8859-4 ISO-8859-5 ISO-8859-7 ISO-8859-9 KOI8-R KOI8-U POSIX UTF-8 [rkumar@localhost oawclassic.generatorwc.project]$ Could it be that some linux process is watching over this directory? Thus not allowing the rename to happen. thanks, rohit.

Hi, Here's the output: [rkumar@localhost oawclassic.generatorwc.project]$ mv meta-inf META-INF mv: cannot move `meta-inf' to `META-INF': File exists [rkumar@localhost oawclassic.generatorwc.project]$ No success still ! thanks, rohit.

Hi, I am experiencing a strange behaviour. I am unable to rename a directory to its all caps equivalent.

Thanks, rohit.

Hi, Yes my urpmi sources were not setup at all. I apologize for such negligence. Thanks a lot for the help. rohit.

Hi, I did check out the --whatrequires and --whatprovides option of the rpm command, but to my dismay, no success :huh: [root@localhost rkumar]# rpm -q --whatprovides libstdc++5 no package provides libstdc++5 [root@localhost rkumar]# rpm -q --whatrequires libstdc++5 no package requires libstdc++5 [root@localhost rkumar]# Also i checked out MCC for the "listdc" package, it shows libstdc++6 as the only matching result found. I do not have the equivalent "-devel" packages installed. Should i install them? Thanks, rohit.

Hi, I did the same, i got the following output: [root@localhost rkumar]# urpmi libstdc++5 No package named libstdc++5 [root@localhost rkumar]# Thanks, rohit.

Greetings there, I just downloaded flock. I tried to start it and i got the following error: [root@localhost flock]# ./flock ./flock-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [root@localhost flock]# Also i checked whether i have libstdc++ or not, [root@localhost flock]# urpmi libstdc No package named libstdc The following packages contain libstdc: libstdc++-devel libstdc++6 [root@localhost flock]# urpmi libstdc++6 Package libstdc++6-4.2.2-0.RC.1mdv2008.0.i586 is already installed [root@localhost flock]# Please tell me what next to do. Thanks, rohit. [moved from Software by spinynorman]

Hi, Yes, it was compiled into the kernel and placed automatically there. It's all normal, it worked flawlessly in the mandriva 2007(free) version. :-) Thanks, rohit.

Hi, the module seems to be there: [root@localhost CiscoVPN]# pwd /lib/modules/2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv/CiscoVPN [root@localhost CiscoVPN]# find /lib/ -name cisco_ipsec* /lib/modules/2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv/CiscoVPN/cisco_ipsec.ko [root@localhost CiscoVPN]# Also while searching over the net i came across this I hope someone might have come across such a problem on mandriva or maybe this has already been taken care of. I have not tried it on my system as of now. Thanks, rohit.

Hi, I did as you told: [root@localhost CiscoVPN]# pwd /lib/modules/2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv/CiscoVPN [root@localhost CiscoVPN]# gzip cisco_ipsec.ko [root@localhost CiscoVPN]# ls cisco_ipsec.ko.gz [root@localhost CiscoVPN]# i got this: [root@localhost vpnclient]# /etc/init.d/vpnclient_init start Starting /opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient: insmod: can't read '/lib/modules/2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv/CiscoVPN/cisco_ipsec.ko': No such file or directory Failed (insmod) [root@localhost vpnclient]# here are the rights of the file: [root@localhost CiscoVPN]# ll total 148 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 144567 2007-11-04 12:52 cisco_ipsec.ko.gz then i created a .ko and .ko.gz file in the CiscoVPN dir: [root@localhost CiscoVPN]# ls cisco_ipsec.ko cisco_ipsec.ko.gz Then i got this: [root@localhost CiscoVPN]# /etc/init.d/vpnclient_init start Starting /opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient: insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv/CiscoVPN/cisco_ipsec.ko': -1 Invalid module format Failed (insmod) [root@localhost CiscoVPN]# What next to do. :unsure: Thanks, rohit.

Hi, How do i go about doing that? Thanks, rohit.

Greetings there, I am installing the Cisco VPN Client on mandriva 2008(free). I faced problems compiling the client, then it got fixed here Now i am facing problems starting the client. here are a few screenfull: [root@localhost vpnclient]# /etc/init.d/vpnclient_init start Starting /opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient: insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv/CiscoVPN/cisco_ipsec.ko': -1 Invalid module format Failed (insmod) [root@localhost vpnclient]# some stats: [root@localhost vpnclient]# modinfo cisco_ipsec.ko filename: cisco_ipsec.ko license: Proprietary depends: vermagic: 2.6.22.9-1mdvcustom SMP mod_unload 686 [root@localhost vpnclient]# [root@localhost vpnclient]# modinfo cpuid filename: /lib/modules/2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpuid.ko.gz license: GPL description: x86 generic CPUID driver author: H.

Hi, My problem got resolved :D Did a bit of google and found that there is patch that needs to be applied to the kernel 2.6.22 . The patch is here This one is specifically for kernel 2.6.22 Now the patch has allowed the cisco client to compile ok. Thanks, rohit. Edit: Find the newest and updated cisco client here

Hi, Still no luck. :unsure: IMO the problem is here: WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.9-1mdv/Module.symvers is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions. or /home/rkumar/Desktop/VPN/vpnclient/linuxcniapi.c:12:26: error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory any other suggestions? Thanks, rohit.

Hi, I have checked that path, it points correctly to /usr/src/linux which points to /usr/src/linux-* . I think the older version of the VPN client could be the problem. I'll try this out and get back. But it worked fine on Mandriva 2007. :-) Thanks, rohit.

Hi, Yes, the location of the sources being pointed is correct. Thanks, rohit.

Greetings there, It has been just hours since i upgraded to a newer hardware :D MoBo : Intel DG31PR Processor : Intel Core 2 DUO E6550 RAM :2x1GB HDD : 250GB SATA The mobo has lan and graphics card on board. Please tell me which mandriva distribution to go for (64bit or not) Also i got a CD with the mobo that has drivers for windows. Do/whether i need to get intel drivers after installing mandriva? Kindly suggest, thanks, rohit.
