[expert-it] Connessione ad Internet KO
Salve a tutti, ho un problema che mi sta assillando da qualche giorno e nonostante le mie assidue letture al man e agli HOWTO non sono riuscito a risolvere. Ho installato la Mdk8.0 (bellina davvero) con il kernel 2.4.3 perchè, mi era stato detto che la Mdk 7.2 con il kernel 2.4.x aveva problemi per la connessione ad internet. Ecco i passi che ho compiuto: 1) La prima cosa è stata controllare la rete: 1.a) con ifconfig e ping ho controllato le interfacce (lo ed eth0 sono presenti e funzionanti) 1.b) con route ho controllato gli instradamenti (127.0.0.0 e 192.168.0.0 sono attivi); in più ho creato un nuovo instradamento con route add -net default gw 192.168.0.1 per permettere (con il DNS server) l'accesso ad internet anche dell'altro computer 2) Ho controllato i file di configurazione: 2.a) /etc/host.conf 2.b) /etc/hosts 2.c) /etc/resolv.conf il cui contenuto è search localdomain # local name server nameserver 192.168.0.1 # wind name server nameserver 212.245.255.2 (anche se, per ora, non ho attivato il DNS) 3)Ho controllato che il demone pppd sia compatibile con la versione del kernel (2.4.x) che abbia i permessi per farlo eseguire a chiunque tramite suid-bit (chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd) e che il link e i permessi per il modem (/dev/ttyS0) siano a posto. 4) Ho scritto il file /etc/ppp/chat-scipt TIMEOUT 3 ABORT BUSY ABORT NO CARRIER ATF OK ATE0Q0V1 OK ATS7=120S19=0L0M0M4K1H1R2I0X3 OK ATDT071246 TIMEOUT 80 CONNECT Ho scritto da zero il file /etc/ppp/options, ovvero: connect /usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chat-script user valerio.spadoni crtscts modem /dev/modem 57600 lock noauth defaultroute 0.0.0.0:0.0.0.0 noipdefault debug kdebug 7 Ed infine il file /etc/ppp/pap-secrets Lanciando pppd (sia da root che da utente normale), ciò che ottengo è (tail /var/log/message) Oct 14 11:33:53 localhost pppd[1906]: pppd 2.4.0 started by root, uid 0 Oct 14 11:33:54 localhost chat[1907]: timeout set to 3 seconds Oct 14 11:33:54 localhost chat[1907]: abort on (BUSY) Oct 14 11:33:54 localhost chat[1907]: abort on (NO CARRIER) Oct 14 11:33:54 localhost chat[1907]: send (ATF^M) Oct 14 11:33:54 localhost chat[1907]: expect (OK) Oct 14 11:33:54 localhost chat[1907]: ^M Oct 14 11:33:54 localhost chat[1907]: OK Oct 14 11:33:54 localhost chat[1907]: -- got it Oct 14 11:33:54 localhost chat[1907]: send (ATE0Q0V1^M) Oct 14 11:33:55 localhost chat[1907]: expect (OK) Oct 14 11:33:55 localhost chat[1907]: ^M Oct 14 11:33:55 localhost chat[1907]: ATE0Q0V1^M^M Oct 14 11:33:55 localhost chat[1907]: OK Oct 14 11:33:55 localhost chat[1907]: -- got it Oct 14 11:33:55 localhost chat[1907]: send (ATS7=120S19=0L0M0M4K1H1R2I0X3^M) Oct 14 11:33:55 localhost chat[1907]: expect (OK) Oct 14 11:33:55 localhost chat[1907]: ^M Oct 14 11:33:56 localhost chat[1907]: ^M Oct 14 11:33:56 localhost chat[1907]: OK Oct 14 11:33:56 localhost chat[1907]: -- got it Oct 14 11:33:56 localhost chat[1907]: send (ATDT071246^M) Oct 14 11:33:56 localhost chat[1907]: timeout set to 80 seconds Oct 14 11:33:56 localhost chat[1907]: expect (CONNECT) Oct 14 11:33:56 localhost chat[1907]: ^M Oct 14 11:34:01 localhost CROND[1909]: (root) CMD ( /usr/share/msec/promisc_check.sh) Oct 14 11:34:26 localhost chat[1907]: ^M Oct 14 11:34:26 localhost chat[1907]: CONNECT Oct 14 11:34:26 localhost chat[1907]: -- got it Oct 14 11:34:26 localhost chat[1907]: send (^M) Oct 14 11:34:26 localhost pppd[1906]: Serial connection established.

Non sto scherzando: a me succede proprio con il pop wind con un cavo di una decina di metri, ma la connessione mi va in time-out dopo qualche minuto. Riguardo alle impostazioni HW: bisognerebbe controllare se sono attive la compressione e il controllo d'errore, ma non ho la minima idea di dove guardare (con Windowz le disabilito e tutto fila...), anzi se qualcuno ha informazioni a riguardo sarebbe una bella cosa.

Re: [expert] Enough! What is wrong with linux and cdwriters?
Since you're using an Atapi system, one thing which could be causing your grief is if you have your BIOS set to cable select the master/slave drives (as opposed to using jumper select). Just last week, there was quite a big discussion on The Register (www.theregister.co.uk) about a software reviewer who described the sort of intermittant problems you are having (and worse) until he set his hard drives to jumper select - I believe that the same type of problems would apply to Atapi CD drives too. sincerely, Robert Storey From: Praedor [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Mandrake Expert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hmmm. Actually, the writer is IDE/ATAPI with SCSI emulation via the ide-scsi module. The drive is detected just as the normal ATAPI CDROM on my system is. I have now managed to get two CDs burned without difficulty (not too loud or it will jinx it) but set the speed to 1x instead of 2x. I will also try eliminating the devfs= statement in lilo.conf on someone else's suggestion (buggy?). __ Do You Yahoo!?

[expert] Floppy problem
I've posted portions of this a couple times, but haven't received a correct answer, yet. I see Civileme has answered a couple questions lately, so I assume he survived the 8.1 release. I'm directing this toward him, but if anybody else can help it'll be appreciated. I installed 8.1 on a Pll 400 with the 440 BX chipset. It has 192MB RAM and a 12 GB hard drive. The HD is Windows/8.1 dual boot using the boot from floppy option. On the 8.1 side I have a Reiser no tail root and home and my swap partition. I read something about problems between Reiser and NFS, I'm running netfs, network, and nfslock under services. My problem is I can use my floppy normally as root, but not as a user. As a user I can format a floppy, but the only way I can mount is to su to root, enter mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy. If I use my icon or enter mount /mnt/floppy I get the error message, wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0, or too many mounted file systems. If I su to root and mount it I can then control it as the user. Dmesg gives the following tidbits: EXT2-fs:Unreconized mount option iocharset floppy 0:data CRC error:track 0,head 1,sector 8, size 2 end.request:I/O error,dev02:lc(floppy),sector 25 ls -l /dev/fd0 gives the following tidbits: lr-xr-xr-x /root 8 Nov 7 06:22 /dev/fd0-floppy/0 Here's my fstab entry for the floppy: /dev/fd0, /mnt/floppy, auto iocharset=iso 8859-1,sync,umask=0 nosuid,exec,user,noauto,codepage=850,nodev,unhide 0 0 I tried adding nobiospnp to /etc/lilo.conf, no joy.

Re: [expert] How to know in what memory a certain programme/data resides?
My experience: 64 MB is minimum for Linux running X (with nothing else). Meaning, it will use up 64MB with kernel and X(KDE or GNOME) alone. If you use a lighter window manager, maybe your 64MB will go further. If you start other programs, like say Netscape or Koffice or a couple of bash x-terminal shells, then your machine will start swapping.

[expert] Fax Software
All Just looking for some suggestions for setting up a fax server on a small network. The network contains a few PCs, and a couple of Linux boxes. The server has a modem, so it looked like a good candidate to be set up as a fax server. What I was thinking was a network available fax (set up to look like a printer..), so I could send faxes from within my word processor, or whatever. efax is pretty much loaded by default on 8.1, but also on the disk is hylafax. Has anyone had any experience with either of these? If so, could you pass along some thoughts? efax seems to have the ability to e-Mail your faxes to you (nice feature!) without having to do a bunch of scripting. How about hylafax? Or is there something better out there? Anyway, I'd appreciate any input you might have. I reading the man pages for efax, and fax now. But don't want to install hylafax if it's no better than efax. ;) Thanks in advance! Ric Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
