I did "urpmf irq.h" and the results only pertain to the 2.4.22 kernel [root:marc]# urpmf irq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/drivers/net/sk98lin/h/skgesirq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-alpha/hardirq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-alpha/hw_irq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-alpha/irq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-alpha/softirq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-i386/hardirq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-i386/hw_irq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-i386/irq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-i386/softirq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-ia64/hardirq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-ia64/hw_irq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-ia64/irq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-ia64/softirq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-m68k/hardirq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-m68k/hw_irq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-m68k/irq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-m68k/softirq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-ppc/hardirq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-ppc/hw_irq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-ppc/irq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-ppc/softirq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-x86_64/hardirq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-x86_64/hw_irq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-x86_64/irq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/asm-x86_64/softirq.h kernel-source:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/include/linux/irq.h Does that mean the nforce.src.rpm/tar.gz only works on 2.4 kernels? Anyway, I'm going to look through my 2.6.2 kernel and see where I can enable the module, as it's apparently included. I have also tried "modprobe nvnet" and got "module not found", so either it's not enabled or it's compiled into the kernel

I'll just go check router prices... It seems that a router costs about the same as a switch and NIC together. I think I'll put my order on hold and read up some more about routers

The kernel I'm running right now is a standard installed .rpm (not compiled by me), but I have compiled a 262 kernel and tried to install the nforce src.rpm against that. No go. Do you know the name of the driver? I didn't notice anything I could use while compiling the kernel

Okay, I've ordered another NIC and a switch. That should see me right. Thanks for the explanations

I'm running the 2.6.2-1mdk kernel and I've installed kernel-source-2.6.2-1mdk. Downloaded the 261 src.rpm from nvidia's site and installed with "rpm --rebuild". It aborts with errors (not the "buildmeister" errors) I've tried the 248 src.rpm and the 261 tar.gz. Here's the output from the tar.gz attempt: [root:nforce]# make make -C nvnet make[1]: Entering directory `/home/marc/nforce/nvnet' cc -c -Wall -DLINUX -DMODULE -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -D__KERNEL__ -O -Wstrict-prototypes -DCONFIG_PM -fno-strict-aliasing -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -falign-functions=4 -DMODULE -I/lib/modules/2.6.2-1mdk/build/include nvnet.c In file included from /lib/modules/2.6.2-1mdk/build/include/linux/irq.h:20, from /lib/modules/2.6.2-1mdk/build/include/asm/hardirq.h:6, from /lib/modules/2.6.2-1mdk/build/include/linux/interrupt.h:11, from nvnet.h:30, from nvnet.c:21: /lib/modules/2.6.2-1mdk/build/include/asm/irq.h:16:25: irq_vectors.h: No such file or directory In file included from /lib/modules/2.6.2-1mdk/build/include/asm/hardirq.h:6, from /lib/modules/2.6.2-1mdk/build/include/linux/interrupt.h:11, from nvnet.h:30, from nvnet.c:21: /lib/modules/2.6.2-1mdk/build/include/linux/irq.h:70: error: `NR_IRQS' undeclared here (not in a function) In file included from /lib/modules/2.6.2-1mdk/build/include/linux/irq.h:72, from /lib/modules/2.6.2-1mdk/build/include/asm/hardirq.h:6, from /lib/modules/2.6.2-1mdk/build/include/linux/interrupt.h:11, from nvnet.h:30, from nvnet.c:21: /lib/modules/2.6.2-1mdk/build/include/asm/hw_irq.h:28: error: `NR_IRQ_VECTORS' undeclared here (not in a function) /lib/modules/2.6.2-1mdk/build/include/asm/hw_irq.h:31: error: `NR_IRQS' undeclared here (not in a function) nvnet.c: In function `nvnet_open': nvnet.c:735: warning: passing arg 2 of `request_irq' from incompatible pointer type nvnet.c: In function `nvnet_remove': nvnet.c:1248: error: structure has no member named `driver_data' make[1]: *** [nvnet.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/marc/nforce/nvnet' make: *** [nvnet_make] Error 2 I don't know how to decipher this, other than seeing there is a missing file (irq.h) BTW, I tried this on a fresh 9.2 install on a different partition, with the 2.4.22 kernel and matching kernel-sources, also aborted with similar errors. I need it mainly to get the onboard LAN working. Harddrake recognizes the chip as ‎nForce2 MCP Networking Adapter but it won't work without the "nvnet" driver/module. Mboard is Epox 8rda3I Anyone have this working?

I'm completely new to networking, so any answers in simple terms please. I have two computers I want to network together for internet sharing and file sharing. The first machine has Mdk 9.2 and is connected via cable modem to the internet (DHCP) Second machine has Win98, no internet connection, but has a NIC installed The questions: If I buy a 10/100 switch/hub (not sure what the difference is) would I need to install another NIC in the Mdk machine? Or could I use the switch as the central part, ie. modem connects to switch, switch connects out to two machines respectively. Just seems to me there's no real point in buying a switch if I need two NIC's in my main machine. I would just use the second NIC to connect to the Win NIC I guess the main question is: buy a switch or buy another NIC?

Glad you got it sorted out B)

Do you have Desktop Wheeling enabled in your fluxbox-configure menu? Without that the mousewheel won't change between desktops

Try commenting out the Option "XkbRules" "xfree86.lst" line.That might help

Ix - Looks like I'll be reinstalling too. I couldn't get any further on this problem. Not a big deal, it's not my main install, either

Anybody?

I changed the display manager in mdk-10.0 via mcc-system-display manager (mdkkdm to kdm) and on reboot everything fell apart After choosing the 10.0 option from lilo at bootup, all I get is a few white dots at the top of a black screen Which file do I edit to change back to where I was?

My best is only 578.7, but that's because you guys obviously have much stronger computers than mine :P

Maybe one of the other fans went down temporarily (case fans or PSU fans). The reset might have got it running again. One fan less would definitely cause a jump like that, even though, as Michel said, 59C is not particularly high. My XP1800 runs at about 56C at idle and runs up to 60+ at load with room temp at around 20C

To see what kernel you are running, type "uname -r" in terminal. Then go to MCC-Software Management-Install Software. Put "kernel-source" in the search window and choose the kernel corresponding to the result of "uname -r"

There was no binary for xterm in /usr/X11R6/bin. Why? No idea Anyway, there were a few other problems with the kernel, so I recompiled again and now the terms all work

After recompiling 2.6, I booted back up to find I have no terminals. No eterm, xterm or konsole. I'm pretty sure it's because I didn't choose some option in the kernel, but I don't know which one. Anybody want to make it easy for me?

What do I need to do to view .rm video in mplayer? I've installed win32 codecs, realplayer codecs and realplayer win32 codecs. I've copied them all to /usr/local/lib/codecs/ as per instructions on the mplayer site I'm using version 0.91-3.3.1 of mplayer

I use that sometimes, it's very handy. I always thought it was a feature of linux. I can't tell you how to configure it, because I never did, although I can't recall if it worked for me in Mdk (using Arch right now).

I use startx to get into X, so I have a line "exec /path/to/fluxbox" (no quotes) at the bottom of ~/.xinitrc. If you're booting directly into gui, I think the file to doctor is /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, again adding the same line at the bottom. I'm not 100% sure on the gui method

groups john shows me what group user "john" belongs to. Or you can look in /etc/group, as Qchem said, which will show all groups

Are you installing with urpmi? It will take care of all dependencies automatically. If you don't have it set up, do a search on the board for "urpmi". There are plenty of threads on the subject. Also I see you're trying to install a "i386" package, which is not specifically made for Mdk. If you want to download manually, make sure the package is for Mdk (ends in "i586"), unless of course, there is no such package. Having said that, not every "i586" package is Mdk

As far as I know, you should only have one bootloader installed and configure it to load the second/third distro. I don't think two bootloaders will work together

I installed Arch a week ago. Not the easiest to configure, but I got past that and I like it. Right now I'm trying to get Fluxbox to see all my fonts. Haven't figured it out yet, but it's a good learning experience. I think I've learned more this week than I did in the couple of months I had Gentoo running

Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add a line in the format "nameserver <dns values>" For example, if your DNS is 12.345.678.90, you would enter a line: nameserver 12.345.678.90 Save and exit
