Hi, sorry for kicking this old topic, but I haven't got the time to play with the information yet. At work I downloaded MDK10 community, and installed that on my laptop.

Thing is, that 10 seems to detect my card, but doesn't install it.

When I try to make a "new" wireless connection at the Control Center, it asks me to manually select a driver, but I don't know what driver I need to choose, or if the correct driver is there anyway.

Does anyone know with one I should choose? I've tried some, but none of them seems to work...

I was wondering if there is some kind of how-to on installing the MADWIFI driver.

I'm not at all into compiling my own stuff, have compiled a new kernel once using a srpm for Mandrake, but that's about where my knowledge stops.

I understand I have to patch, and recompile the kernel for getting this thing to work, but I can't find out HOW to do this.

Is there some kind of step-by step how-to on installing and configuring this thing?

BTW, I'm using a Conceptronic C54C PCMCIA card, wich should work great with the MADWIFI driver (So I was told by the Conceptronic helpdesk, wich I asked about this thing before I even bought it. They say it works, but they don't support it.)

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a Samba fileserver, using some documentation from IBM on that topic. Now they want me to create a group, using the "group"-command. But it doesn't seem to exist on my Mandrake 9.2 box (download edition).

I've tried typing "urpmi group" but that didn't seem to understand what the * I was talking about :P

Is there a way to install this command? Or is there another way to add groups from bash?

I cannot do this from the graphical interface, since that won't run with the secure kernel

---- EDIT ----

I've tried it typing the command "groupadd" instead of "group" and it seems to work O.K. :)

So I think I've found the solution myself (damn I'm good :P)

---- Another edit ----

Is there a way to see if the groups indeed were added?

(Lets ask another question, so I did not open a topic for no reason after all :D )

Well, it doesn't really work after all.

It seems like the command should be run from a console, but since the command is run directly by KLaptop, it simply doesn't run.

Maybe someone could tell me how I can make KLaptop start a shell before it runs the command? :unsure:

I'll try that. In the meantime I've found that I can install the mailserver itself without any problems, and that I can administer the thing using a Windows admin util. ( I know, it's bad :P )

Hi,

I've tried to install Kerio Mailserver on MDK9.1, but when I type this:

urpmi *.rpm

in the directory where the rpm's are placed, I get the following error:

Installatie mislukt:
       libcrypto.so.2 is nodig voor kerio-mailserver-admin-5.7.2-rh7
       libssl.so.2 is nodig voor kerio-mailserver-admin-5.7.2-rh7
       libstdc++.so.2.8 is nodig voor kerio-mailserver-mcafee-5.7.2-rh7

(Note that "Installatie mislukt" is dutch for "Installation Failed".)

But, OpenSSL and LibOpenSSL are installed! :(

Could anyone tell me what to do?

(maybe it's just not possible, the software is for RH7 and RH8, not for MDK.)

/update: I've downloaded the one without McAfee, but still need the libssl.so.2, only don't need the libstdc++.so.2.8 anymore.

Cool! I'm @ work right now, but I will read this article this evening.

Update: It works! I'm now able this command, without being root! :)

Now, i'll just have to wait and see if the system can use it also. :huh:

Ok. but could you also tell me how to use this?

When I type:

sudo shutdown -h 1

It asks for a password, wich means I cannot use it to automate the shutdown.

Hi,

On my laptop, KLaptop is able to execute a command when the battery is low. Now I would like to insert this command:

shutdown -h 1

So I would have 1 minute to save my work, before the laptop starts shutting itself down.

Well, I thought this would work, but since normal users aren't able to shut down the system, it doesn't!

Is there a way to enable shutdown for all users? So this thing works?
