[newbie-it] Logout grafico Mandrake 9.1
Qualcuno mi sa dire come si chiama il processo che avvia la finestrella di dialogo intitolata "Fine della sessione per """ e che possiede i 2 pulsanti "Termina la sessione" e "Annulla" (questa finestrella viene aperta quando si esce dalla sessione grafica attraverso il menu K, selezione voce "Termina la sessione di "...") ? Questo perchè ho notato che l'installazione della Mandrake 9.1, se fatta dicendogli di impostare l'avvio automatico di una sessione utente (senza che quindi ci venga richiesto il login), all'atto del logout si ha la sequenza sopra citata e si esce in modo regolare da Linux (ossia si ripresenta il login grafico, con la possibilità di uscire da Linux). Se invece si lascia la possibilità di avere il login grafico all'avvio di Linux, quando si effettua il logout non si ha più la sequenza sopra citata, anzi mette il pc in stand-by (ossia lo spegne lasciando solo la ventola di raffreddamento accesa).Yahoo!

[newbie-it] script
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Ciao a tutti; stavo scrivendo uno script in modo che mi automatizzasse le operazioni di ripping di un dvd. Ora dopo la prima operazione di estrazione del sonoro lui mi estrae delle informazioni utili per la compressione video. Quel che voglio fare e` fargli estrarre queste informazioni in un file e fargli prendere come parametri per la compressione video. E` possibile fargli scrivere questo file con l'output finale(penso che basti un semplice file)ed estrarre queste informazioni in modo lo script successivo le abbia come parametri? Il problema e` solo che il ripping e` un'operazione molto lunga e poter automatizzire tutto in un unico comando lanciato attraverso at o cron mi permetterebbe di non dover impiegare tutta la giornata appresso a questa operazione! Grazie e ciao!! Luigi - -- TASSISTA (1) - Esattore.

Re: [newbie] eMac Video Card Config. Problem
Two more quick questions: The installation instructions tell me to leave the linux partition as Free Space using a partitioning utility in Mac OS, but can I also use UNIX File System? Can the Mandrake OS use this? See, I can't see the partition when running under Mac OS X, but the UNIX File System is a supported format, so I reckon it would see that.

That seems very odd if I'm right. FF Heather, repeat after me: MP3 is technically _not_ open source, has been for years a freely licensed proprietary compressed audio format, but the patent holder has the right to change that at anytime. Think license fees. Per copy. Or even per use if they can prove it. The old software models are broken, all the software companies that have no true innovation to offer are going to milk what they have for all they're worth. Maybe the bone heads should stop playing with models and concentrate on business? Just a thought. Ogg is open source, free (speech and beer both) there are plug-ins for most of the newest PDAs and multi-media phones and even players for Windows, the Apple portable players are now available even though they're outrageously expensive, and others are coming on the market before Christmas. Cheaper ones. OK? Ogg also gives a better reproduction than mp3. It just sounds better to me. You can encode MP3 from CDA format, you just need the right tools. The plug-ins are available for most of the rippers on the disks you have and the KDE (KAudiocreator) app actually gives you a choice of Ogg or MP3. I just looked. Grip does as well as far as I know, just look in the config tab for encoder and decide which you like. I've used it both ways, works brilliantly. Hint, mine shows lame, bladeenc, a few others, mp3 and ogg. Scrape yourself off the ceiling and actually *look* at the tools you have at hand kid, you can do this.

Once you have lame installed ( check you don't already, by doing in a
terminal,
rpm -qa | lame and see what it says. I think you will find it already
installed) install the attatched bash script wav2mp3 somewhere the
system can find it like /usr/bin, or /usr/local/bin and follow the
instructions in wav2mp3command file attatched.
This script has ripped and encoded to mp3 for me, not that I use it much
, it's just to get my daughters .wav files on their CD's onto their mp3
mobile players, so much more stable than those mobile CD players, or so
they tell me. I only play CD's myself and don't store any music on my

No, they are suggesting you use OGG instead of MP3 but you can use MP3 if you like. I do myself, I know that OGG is better but if I want to send a file to someone, the only way I can be sure that they can use it is to use MP3. Also, If I want to play these in my standalone DVD player that supports MP3 files, I can't use OGG. In Grip, you can go to the configure tab and tell it what encoder to use.

Hi, I'm having a problem with my video card driver. I'm using a ATI Radeon 9800 video card. I installed Mandrake 9.1 and set the video configuration for, video card- vesa, monitor- 1280*1024 @ 60hz, display- 1024*768 @70hz 24b. I then tested the configuration and it worked fine. I use the vesa driver because it's the only driver that will work with my card that is on the list of drivers. There are a few problems when I use vesa. When I try to logout, shutdown, or restart the computer goes blank when it is trying to shut down startX. I have to reboot manually, recheck the file system at startup and fix the file system. I installed the ATI 9800 drivers two times and I could not log into the desktop. I installed the drivers correctly and ran the driver config file. Does anyone know what the problem is?

I had Apache2 working on my 9.1 box, but just had to go and upgrade it from Cooker. Now it will not start. I should say that MCC says it's running (set to start at boot), but pointing to http://localhost takes my to the clever Australian hosting company. When I stop and restart via MCC, a message is displayed that a verifiable hostname could not be found. I have looked at the http.conf file and it has localhost set as the server name. Where else should I be looking to ensure that everything is set correctly. An explicit Apache2/PHP4/MySQL tutorial would be good (emphasis on Apache2 as it's changed quite a bit since 1.3.x). -- Cheers, Trey --- At a given moment I open my eyes and exist.

Re: [newbie] Downloading a huge file - burning an ISO
The answer to this is yes. It downloads it to a tmp directory in /. I only have 691 megs of free space there and the file is 694. I couldn't figure out how to bypass the temp file transfer. I remember someone saying something about Konquerer being able to act like a file transfer over the net (with split windows). I tried that and it worked flawlessly (he was right, Konquerer rocks). Konquerer will even resume a failed download whereas Mozilla dl manager does not. The reason I do not use Konquerer as my main web browser is that some of the links appear in yellow and vry hard to read. I cannot figure out how to fix it (any ideas?). Anyway, how do I burn an ISO image in Linux?

I suppose you could hide some executable code in a picture but AFAIK you'd need at minimum some sort of code like .html to start it. Ok, that makes sense.

I have to disagree. Deleting a file removes it entry in the allocation table, so the system can't find it. But it is still there, right on your harddisk. Shredding a file overwrites all the inodes with random 0's and 1's . I suppose one can set the number of overwrites to anything to ones hearts content. I'm quite sure, that if I *shred* this text, say 10 times, it'll require some effort in a high-tech laboratory to recover it. In Linux - as in all Unixes - fragmentation is a *non-issue*. If one uses a genuine *nix filesystem ( like ext2, ext3, XFS, JFS or ReiserFS) there's no need whatsoever to do any defragmentation. A possible exception is - according to Civileme - JFS which is derived from OS/2 and hence inherited some compromises from way back when DOS/Windows was hot. Anyway - I recently had to buy a PC for my daughter. It came with something called WindowsXP preloaded. The filesystem was called NTFS, which - so I'm told - should combine some of the benefits of UNIX and OS/2. It was heavily defragged even on the first boot, and every attempt to defrag it was futile. At least, under OS/2 one could set up the config.sys to defrag the whole filesystem (HPFS) automatically on boot. Under this XP-thingy everything seems to be messed up permanently.

Dear EFF Supporter: This is astounding - in the first 24 hours, over 6,000 people have signed our petition to stop the Recording Industry Association of America's (RIAA) nationwide rampage against average Americans. Rather than working to create a rational, legal means by which its customers can take advantage of file-sharing technology and pay a fair price for the music they love, it has chosen to sue people like Brianna LaHara, a 12 year-old girl living in New York City public housing. Take a stand against the RIAA's tactics by signing our petition: http://www.eff.org/share/petition/ Brianna, and hundreds of other music fans like her, are being forced to pay thousands of dollars they do not have to settle RIAA-member lawsuits -- supporting a business model that is anything but rational. This crusade is generating thousands of subpoenas and hundreds of lawsuits, but not a single penny for the artists that the RIAA claims to protect. Copyright law shouldn't make criminals out of 60 million Americans, and it's time for a change. Congress is going to hold hearings; we need your help to make sure that the public's voice is heard. Tell Congress that it's time to stop the madness: http://www.eff.org/share/petition/ We'll deliver the petition to Congress once we've hit 10,000 signatures. This is a grassroots campaign - please take the time to tell your friends and family about this issue. Thanks for support!
