  1. Ok. Why two different folders (/home/username/share & /home/username/shared)?? Do they really exist on the server?? Please post the output of this command: 'ls /home/username'. Please post the exact command youre giving on the client computer to mount the shared folder (i.e. mount 192.168.x.x:/home/username ....etc).
  2. Can you post /etc/exports please? I think thereis something wrong there.
  3. - Its the portmap service running on that pc (client pc) as well as on the server? - Maybe you made some changes to nfs configuration and you need to restart de service (Im just guessing here)?, do 'service nfs restart' as root on server to make sure it takes the latest changes. Oh, i just seen this: Services needed (this is as it is on my network, which uses nfs and works): * On server: 'nfs', 'portmap' * On client: 'portmap' Services like 'nfslock' or 'netfs' are NOT essential, same as 'nfs' for the clients that is NOT needed to have running, I would advice you to shut them down.
  4. Yeah I agree with you, nothing wrong with samba at all :P , but even using webmin, whats easier to setup than the couple of files needed for nfs? And for two systems running linux/unix, would you use samba? Dont take me wrong, I think both are great, but for different purposes. ChrisM: I forgot to mention that for nfs to work you need to have both 'nfs' and 'rpc' services running on the server and at least 'rpc' on the clients.
  5. Yes I think you need NFS, but no man, its not that complicated, for me its far easier than samba. A quick example: First, in the computer where the shared folder is located, edit the file /etc/exports and include it there, i.e.: /shared_folder 192.168.0.0/30(rw) Change 192.168.0.0/30 for your actual network, 'rw' is to give read/write permission, for read only use 'ro' instead. There are many more options, just google a bit or look in the man pages. In the clients computers do: mount 192.168.0.1:/shared_folder /mnt/shared Thatl mount the folder /shared_folder located in pc 192.168.0.1, to folder /mnt/shared in the local system. If you want to mount the folder automatically at boot, then you have to mess with /etc/fstab, but again, its not that difficult!! man fstab or google, im not at my computer so i cannot give you examples but its quite simple. Thats was all, really quick and simple!
  6. Great news! will try it soon. BTW, the -minimum- hardware requirements for linux systems are lower than for window$ machines (which is great cause i dont meet the window$ reqs.): GNU/Linux system: * Pentium III, 1Ghz * 256Mb RAM Window$ (as stated in this page): * Pentium®IV 1.5 GHz or Athlon® XP 1500+ processoror higher * 384MB RAM
  7. You couldnt have installed mandrake over a fat or ntfs partition. What probably happened is the mandrake installer used the unused space on your windows partition to make a new linux partition from it, and installed mandrake there. But that shouldnt get you no errors in windows, maybe something was wrong and the new partition wasnt created rightly or the partition layout got corrupted somehow, are u able to boot into mandrake? What you can do is download knoppix (a live-cd distro) and boot from it. Then you can use qtparted (which is very similar to partition magic) to delete, resize or do whatever you like with your hds partitions.
  8. Have you created any samba users?? I always do it via webmin, which i find it makes samba setup vey simple, urpmi webmin, start the webmin service and then point your browser to https://127.0.0.1:10000 (accessing from the same pc) or https://ip.lan.address:10000 (from any other pc on the lan) Does /etc/fstab contain any reference to them? Other than that, i wouldnt know. Youre doing it right, you only need to configure samba correctly, try webmin.
  9. Ooops, thanks for the explanation, i should have ' man urpmi ' to check if that was correct, sorry for the disinformation. Im gonna give some correct info for a change :P this i have tested myself (hard :D ) with this command: yes | urpmi --auto-select you will reply to any question urpmi asks with a 'yes' answer (including bad signatures, remove of packages etc...)
  10. Do you mean sound from the TV card or sound in general ??
  11. For what i have heard the --auto part is not needed anymore. It was used to force urpmi to check wether there was any update for itself, and if so, install it and restart itself, but now urpmi does that automatically. Dont remember where i read it so i cant post a link (or maybe -probably- it was in cooker mailing-list) but it surely works for me without it. Edited to correct some misspelling (and probably make some others ) BTW is the 'spell check' board function not working anymore ??
  12. I agree, i think this book is far better than the manual (I havent got any of them though).

  13. If i remember correctly thats what i did last time i had that 'mounted multiple times' problem.
  14. That sounds a bit selfish to me. When you join Mandrakeclub you are contributing to the open source software development, helping Mandrakesoft to survive and continue with Mandrakelinux development and so on. How was it? : Dont ask what the open source software can do for you, but what can you do for it. You can join the club for 60 euros/dollars a year, that is 5 $/€ a month !!! Is it really that much ??... Or you can pay 120 $/€ and be able to download all de Powerpacks Mandrake releases within that year, 10€/$ a month doesnt seem that expensive to me... Im not saying that you should join, but i just dont like the way you put it, i dont think its fear, where is the sense of community if you are only looking for your own personal benefit (ie.: I'm interested in joining only if these commercial programs will be useful to me)?
  15. According to that planning, arent they supposed to release a RC2 before Community ?
  16. To find out do: lsof /dev/cdrom (change /dev/hdc to the actual drive)

    Partitioning

    Why dont you do the easiest? Resize /home to 20 GB and then resize / to take up all that extra space. I think you need to umount the partitions before you can make any changes in them, so id recommend you to use a LiveCD with QTParted (=Partition Magic alike) included, i.e. knoppix.
  18. No extra program needed to do that ! All you need to do is mount your iso image in a directory of your choice, yeah, its that simple ! For example, we are mounting the file Mandrake_DVD.iso into the MDKDVD directory on my home partition, so we do (as root): mount -o loop -t iso9660 Mandrake_DVD.iso /home/feralertx/MDKDVD And thats about it, you can use the MDKDVD directory as you like. :lol: :lol:
  19. Hi, the title says it all, i m testing 10.1 RC1 and would like to report as many bugs as posible. A couple of times, just after login in into kde the whole computer has crashed (ctrl-alt-Fx no working) and had to reboot it manually, the problem is i dont know where to look for to find out why, any suggestions ?? Thanks.
  20. Sounds wrong because its wrong, the broadcast address for network 192.168.0.0 with netmask 255.255.255.0 is 192.168.0.255
  21. Have you got a ssh server running? If not, you wont be able to connect via ssh even if you disable your firewall. Install the ssh server if is not already there and then turn it on in the MCC / System / Services.
  22. Yes, you should. To find out why and what has been patch/fixed, mandrake releases 'Mandrakesoft Security Advisories' that you can find at here. This is the specific one for that kernel: Yes, you need to do the procedure again, remember than you need to install the kernel and the kernel-sources fot that kernel.
  23. I dont want to seem as being rude but ... why dont you post this problem into amules forums?? Whenever i do have a problem with their program i post it over there and the devs have always been responsive and helpful, who better than them can help you out??
  24. What mandrake are u using? Have you got installed the updates installed? Please post the output of the command 'ifconfig' and tell us what ip address this machine is supposed to have (and the netmask if you know it).
