well, here is the actual output. Found the .rpm that provides the missing .so, installed it and got the same error. [robert@localhost robert]$ evolution-1.5 evolution-1.5: relocation error: /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-3.1.so.9: undefined symbol: gdk_threads_lock do I need to symlink something somewhere? Michael Crozat are you monitoring? thanks, RF

why dont you change sources to 10 official, urpmi urpmi, urpmi --auto-select? I just did that yesterday and have had no problems, now running 10 official (as far as I can tell): cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.3-9mdk (qateam@files.linsec.vx) (gcc version 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-6mdk)) #1 Fri Apr 23 16:41:09 EDT 2004

Anyone get the evolution 1.5 cooker package working correctly? I urpmi'd it, along with all the dependencies, but at launch I get libgtkhtml.so.whatever error. Libgtkhtml-devel packages were installed as well, so not sure what the prob is. Is there some place to post issues for cooker developers? thanks, RF

how about setting this scenario up when both machines connect through the same router. For example, my desktop (wired) and laptop (wireless) share the same linksys router which is connected to my dsl modem. If both machines are on, how can I pass stuff between them, no server involved. Is this possible? Doesnt sound like a SAMBA situation to me. Thanks, RF

test message on new machine - wired ethernet

my modem gives my router and ip and the firewall for the router is set to DMZ mode, and my router gives my machine the ip and firewall is set to DMZ mode, so that is about as un-firewalled as I can get since they are built-in to the devices and really cant be turned off. I did look for PHP components on my machine with rpm -qa | grep php (and PHP) which came back blank, and there are so many php packages I wouldnt know what to install. I was able to send myself a test message using Opera mail and MOzilla mail, but Kmail and Evo are still broke. I am having to send this message to the board while booted into my WIn98 partition, but I am using Mozilla, at least. When I try to post while booted into linux, the bottom of the browser window just stays at " waiting for www.mandrakeusers.org" and eventually dies. I got some camel_debug info from running Evo, but it basically just said the server timed out before evo could finish sending: (I can telnet and connect to the same server though) [robert@localhost robert]$ CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 evolution >>/home/robert/Desktop/camel.log sending : EHLO [192.x.x.x] received: 250-smtp814.mail.sc5.yahoo.com received: 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN received: 250-PIPELINING received: 250 8BITMIME This server supports 8bit MIME sending : AUTH PLAIN blahblahblahgobbledygook received: 235 ok, go ahead (#2.0.0) sending : EHLO [192.x.x.x] received: 250-smtp814.mail.sc5.yahoo.com received: 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN received: 250-PIPELINING received: 250 8BITMIME This server supports 8bit MIME sending : MAIL FROM:<frosterrj@aaa.net> received: 250 ok sending : RCPT TO:<driverloader@lists.linuxant.com> received: 250 ok sending : RCPT TO:<support@linuxant.com> received: 250 ok sending : DATA received: 354 go ahead sending : \r\n.\r\n received: 451 timeout (#4.4.2) sending : QUIT received: (null) (evolution:2872): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:2010: instance `0x835b538' has no handler with id `2337' Any ideas? RF

so why did Update section of the MCC only show me the kernel-source package for 2.6.4-7mdk and no actual kernel package? I guess I dont mind compiling from the source rpm, but seems a little odd. RF

Yeah, I'd like to know that too!! Regarding the Evo mail problem, the ximian guys had me run Evo with debugging turned on, and I got this output: sending : MAIL FROM:<me> received: 250 ok sending : RCPT TO:<recipient> received: 250 ok sending : RCPT TO:<recipient> received: 250 ok sending : DATA received: 354 go ahead sending : \r\n.\r\n received: 451 timeout (#4.4.2) sending : QUIT received: (null) which they basically said was that the server was timing out before mail was finished sending- fix your server. The message was not very long, so why would it timeout? Well, since the server is my ISP's (SBC) no much I can really fix myself is there? Thanks a bunch. However, I figured out that I can successfully send mail using the mozilla mail and Opera mail clients. WTF!? At least now I know I can receive my mail in both mozilla (leave messges on server) and Evo (dont leave messages on serve), then reply using mozilla. A big PITA, but at least there's a work around. Still having a problem posting to this board, and couldn't even log on to my Schwab account using mozilla or Opera today. Same message - " waiting on <server here>, and it just dies. I tried looking for PHP packages on my system with: rpm -qa | grep php (and PHP) with NOTHING returned. This is the problem? No php at all? Tried updating my system with PHP packages, but just get bad sig messages and wget failures because the mirrors seem to be down still. But, there are so many php packages, what ones should I get anyway? Also ran the iptables -nL, and I dont even have that executable in root's path, so I guess I dont even have it. Thanks, Robert

Nope, I'm trying to send from my home modem (when I can get connected). The stranger thing is that I cant post ANYTHING - send mail, even make a post on this site or use the webmail interface of my ISP (cant even get the inbox to load using mozilla or opera). RF

I could ping the smtp server without problem - good response and 0 packet loss, however I can't even post to the board from my machine, although regular browsing works just fine, so I have to send this message from work. Is that a good clue? Thanks, RF

well, there's only one line in there, which is the DNS for my DSL Modem. If I comment that out, will I have problems connecting/surfing? I didnt get a chance to see if anything happes as I couldnt get an IP for my wireless card (using driverloader wrapper) and I just shutdown. Thanks, RF

I have checked all the configuration files in Evolution and KMail, called tech support (I have SBC DSL using wireless mode,/pc card) and made sure there are no spelling errors for the smtp server/password, etc. Make sure using SSL is turned off by SBC tech, it is. Basically we went through all the config stuff as though e were setting up outlook, and all my options matched. I have tried the same with KMail, mozilla mail, opera mail, AND even going to the web interface of the SBC mail account and cannot send using anything. I have triple checked that my modem's firewall is set to allow SMTP and POP ports, which it is, and was double checked by SBC tech support. Yet, I keep getting the following message from evolution when I cancel the send, or let it time out by itself: Error while performing operation: DATA termination response error: Interrupted system call Does anyone know how I can tell where the problem is? I have no idea how to check if my computer is blocking ports and afaict, there is no server sfuff(firewall) on this machine, except Webmin, which does not start on boot. In fact, I had to boot into windows to even be able to post this message to the board - mozill just hung on a waiting for mandrakeusers.org and would never send. Thanks, Robert

Not sure if drivers are a relevant issue for these types of devices, but before I buy one for my old laptop, I'd like to know if the driver issue is likely to come up. NOne of the boxes that I've seen say they support linux, but my guess is that's none of the bundled software apps work with linux, not the device itself. Any comments/pointers appreciated. Thanks, RF

I installed with USB wheel mouse and never lost it. It does get "lost" after awaking from a suspend, though, and only re-booting brings it back. R

My cd1 worked ok as well, just a little slow to load the initial image, and one of the first things it asks for is to insert the the 'additional driver floppy'. Of course it cant find is since there isnt one, and I just ok or cancel through and eventually get on my way. To me this is a much improved situation over 9.2 cds since I couldnt eve boot from cd1 and even had to use the alt1 kernel to get anything going, only to have funny error messages about no PCMCIA drivers being available, update your kernel. But all seemed to be ok after rebooting. A good practice to follow is to put your swap at the beginning of the disk for extra speed, and make yourself a separate /home partition so you dont loose everything (docs, desktop stuff) if you need to reinstall. Definately make sure you select "advanced' or "expert' buttons if they are presented - the good stuff is usually there. Good luck. RF

My install went a little better on my Dell PII, but the suspend function (by closing the lid) causes all my externals to die - keyboard(ps/2) and mouse (usb) when I lift the lid back up, but, the built-in keyboard and touch pad work! They never would in 9.1 and 9.2 without editing the Xf86 config file.

Great to have MDK 10 CE installed and have found no real problems so far, but one thing I have noticed that is a little troubling is that MCC/Backup applet will not let me choose my Win98 partitions (they are mounted and accesible) as a backup location. The folder icon and path bar are greyed out. Anyone else have this problem? Possible bug or did I not get something installed? Thanks, Robert PS: The anoumt of memory the system is using now is way less than from 9.1/9.2 days. KDE 3.2 really does seem a lot snappier, with less resources! Excellent!

Thanks, wasnt really thinking I guess

? I just noticed that when I go to get some CDs to burn the images, all the packages only say 700MB/80 minutes, but the downloads are 711,000+/- KB in size. So is there some magick that happend when the burning software burns to the CD or is there really CD media that comes in capacity larger than 700MB? Am I missing something? Also, I had trouble booting from the 9.2 cds without having to use the Alt1 kernel on disk one (dell laptop with Toshiba 1902B cd rom module - no problem with 9.1 powerpack disks though) so has anyone had problems booting with similar hardware? R

restart your computer and hit f2 or del or whatever key takes you to the set-up screen (read the corners of the black screen and it will usually tell you what key gets you to set-up) for the bios. There you check the device boot order sequence, make sure you bios is set to check the cd-rom first, then the hard disk. If that's correct you should be ok and the machine will boot from the cd, if its a good burn. Robert

thanks, thats what I was looking for. R

Tried a search, but no luck. It was only a week or two ago. Can anyone help?? Thanks, Robert

well I choose the alt1 boot image and was able to sucessfully get to the install screen. I did get a funny message that it uses a 2.2.x kernel and cant load PCMCIA, but that doesnt seem to have been a problem as it loaded eth0, pcmcia and yenta socket and all I had to do was run the internet config in MCC so it could load the DHCP clients and there it was - up and running agian, but with a loss of all data since I re-partitioned my drive. Something seems to be up with these disks. I sure hope Mandrake developers read these forums. WHat could have changed so drastically in loading the image from 9.1 to 9.2 which caused this problem? Thanks for the help. Robert

OK, looked through the bios, and found no PNP settings, and since this is a PII, it probably didnt even exist when it was made. The only thing close is a setting for the parallel port to auto configure when you put something into it. My CD drive is in the modular bay and is original to the computer, however old it is - I think from 98 or 99. Hard drive gets recognised as hda in the logs, cd rom gets recognized as hdc. CDs are good. ALready used them to install on another machine without problem (desktop). This machine does not have a burner and come from a class and were burned by the instructor. Media is good. 80 min/700MB. CD rom registered in BIOS? well I can choose it in the boot order section, so I'll have to assume yes, unless you mean in some other way. THis thing did have IRQ set to 11 for the dock, but I changed that to the optimized setting freeing up and IRQ since I dont have a dock. That did nothing, however, but maybe solved other issues regarding wireless cards, but that's a moot point since harddrake cant even tell theres ethernet in the pcmcia! Which is why I'm trying to re-install fresh. Anyway, no luck again, even trying expert nodam, linux nodma, then having to select a module for the scsi device (message I get when it cant find the cd rom), and then again trying nodma in the module parameters. ????? Thanks, Robert

Thanks for the idea, but the same error occurs. I tried ofther modules and even typed nodma as a parameter if a line came up, but nothing ever worked. Here is the Alt+F3 and Alt+F4 output: F3: Mounting /dev/hdc on /tmp/image as type iso9660 have to insmod isofs succeeded mount failed not a directory F4: interleaved files not yet supported Unit size !=0 for isofile (75776). Status Error = 0x58 {DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest} Status Error = 0x00 Drive not ready for command. Does this help? Thanks, Robert
