[newbie-it] Mandrake e WP-Office-2000
Qualcuno ha provato il nuovo WordPerfect-Office-2000 di Corel? Io ho tra le mani una versione beta/demo. Ho provato ad installarla su Mandrake ma non parte perche' sostiene di non trovare un font server attivo. :-() Tra i servizi lanciati all'avvio mi compare sia xfs che fontastic. Qualcuno ha qualche suggerimento da darmi? grazie e ciao, Andrea

Re: [newbie] Epson GT-7000 SCSI Scanner
Thanks Paul and Alan for your help. As I am very new with Linux there is a lot of things that I do not know how to do. So I kindly ask you again for your help to put my scanner working. ID of scanner: Ok Install SANE package: The only package I found is "SANE-devel" that is "static libraries and header files for writing SANE modules". If it is this package ok, it is installed (I made the installation with rpmDrake). Then I made a find file to see where were the files installed and I got the following directories: /etc/sane.d /usr/doc/sane-1.01 /usr/include/sane (with a lot of sub-directories) /usr/lib/sane /usr/man/man1/ /usr/man/man5/ /usr/share/sane-style.rc I read the readme file and I saw: "Configuration: Simply invoke configure in the top level directory" Question 1: What is the top level directory? Question 2: How do I invoke configure? What is the exact words that I should write? Can configure be made from the console under kde? In "Building and installing software packages for linux" I read "Note that if you run configure, it should be invoked as ./configure to ensure that the correct configure script that will accomplish this purpose". I tried write ./configure + enter, but I received an error message No file or directory.

[newbie] grub and my RAM.
Hi fellow Linuxers! I have just upgraded to 7.2. It is most excellent! When I upgraded I changed over to the grub boot loader... I have one problem with grub. I cannot set my RAM. I used to use Lilo and had to use the append "mem=128M" option (in lilo.conf) to cause the kernel to find the whole 128 meg of my ram. Without this it would only find 64 meg :( What I would like to know is how to configure grub to read the full 128 meg of ram. Also I need to know the files I need to edit to do this. With Lilo it was lilo.conf. What is it for grub?

Even for the second partition i.e. 630MB is also quite small for the good running of Linux or even NT. is to small for the OS but just a little to small (for my taste I recomend 15 megs) for the boot sector partition for lilo) And... last resort, if your BIOS has it, you can destroy your existing hd partitions by low-level formatting your hard disk. Check your BIOS options for the utility. To go there, on some PCs, you need to press the DEL key when it is starting up, some PCs use F2 key, some ESC key... check yours.

Re: [newbie] PCI Modem for Joe and Sfactor
The file that you want to edit is the rc.local file In 7.1 it looks like a mini TV. Right click on it and choose edit then add the 2 setserial lines to the bottom. By doing this the 2 lines are used each time you boot otherwise you would have to manually enter them each time which would be a drag. You cannot connect to the internet using Netscape or any other program. You have to connect to the internet first and then launch Netscape You should also verify in Kppp that you correctly entered the IP addresses for your ISP. As for disabling "logging on to network" I am not sure what you mean by disabling. If you do not want to see it after you click connect, click hide and the box will disapear.

The procedures you need to follow are the same for all PCI modems. Sfactor the only setting in the BIOS that you need to check is Plug and Play Setup. The first listing should read something like PnP OS. This should be set to No or Disabled. . Log in as root and from terminal enter the following command # cat /proc/pci This will list all your PCI devices. On this list you should see either Communication controller or Communication device, that listing is your modem. If it shows as Comm. device you have a winmodem and it won't work in Linux. If it shows as Comm. controller proceed as follows: Write down the first I/O range. In the example I am using 0xd800 replace that with yours. Enter the following # setserial /dev/ttyS3 port 0xd800 spd_vhi skip_test auto_irq autoconfig If there are no errors, then enter # setserial /dev/ttyS3 uart 16550A Select /dev/ttyS3 as the device in kppp and your modem should now initalize and operate.

RE: [newbie] PCI Modem for Joe and Sfactor
Charles, I'm the other guy who was asking about getting a PCI modem to be unbusy. I'm only writing here because another guy said he still gets the busy signal even after doing what you suggested (sure do appreciate you turning me onto "setserial"). I think my problem, and possible that of the other guy, is that the modem and sound system are sharing the same interrupt. This makes no sense at all to me as both work fine under Windows. In spite of this, when I query the devices in Windows I'm told that my modem isn't using an IRQ at all but that the sound card is on IRQ9. Within Linux it tells me that both are using IRQ9. There is something basic about PCI setups that I don't understand I guess so I'm scratching my head, saying "Hm..." a lot and largely getting nowhere. To make matters worse, Windows just decided to scramble my FAT table so I'm struggling with it. I guess that was just a reminder why I want to move to Linux (grin). Thanks for your responses.

[newbie] Cannot execute mkhybrid
Hallo! It's the first time i write in here... of course i've got a problem, and it is that the mkhybrid command seems not to exist in my Mandrake 7.0. I've downloaded mkisofs 1.12.1 and executed the installation steps without any problem (at least i haven't noticed them). After installing mkisofs works but mkhybrid program is missing. I've executed make from the mkhybrid directory getting the following message: make: nothing to be done for "all" Thanks!! - Joan Tur - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ibiza - Spain Joan.Tur.pagina.de Club.Ibosim.pagina.de
[newbie] mkinitrd
I'm trying to upgrade my kernel through rpm's (since compiling from source hasn't worked) and so I'm following the guide from Mandrakeuser.org http://www.mandrakeuser.org/install/kupgrade2.html Anyways, I come to the part where it says to make a new initrd image, but when I type in the command it lists (mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.16-9mdk 2.2.16-9mdk) I get this error: mke2fs 1.18, 11-Nov-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 mount: Could not find any loop device, and, according to /proc/devices, this kernel does not know about the loop device. (If so, then recompile or `insmod loop.o'.) Can't get a loopback device It's not critical that I need SCSI support, but one of my harddrives (non Linux HD) is SCSI, and so is my CD-burner. This has happened on all my previous attempts with compiling kernels, but I had always figured I screwed up somewhere and that's why it gave me the error. But even now with rpm's I get it. So how do I get mkinitrd to work for me? -- Anthony Huereca http://m3000.1wh.com Computers are not intelligent. They only think they are.

Alanyes, it is easy, just download the installer (49k) and execute it. Alan Alan Carpenter wrote: Has any tried to install Pronto yet? I haven't but want. I wasn't sure how hard it is to install it.

It does not suffer from the 1024 error.You can also move Windows to the end of the drive, it will boot from anywhere and install Mandrake on the first 10GB. One other note. You did not say what brand hd or which tool you used to formatt. If you used a floppy supplied with the drive then you will most likly get the 1024 error regardless of where you install LILO.

I had installed Mandrake 7.0 as the single OS on my box. No problem at all. Then my HD physically crashed and I installed a new one with Windows 98. This new hd is 20Gb big, and initially, when installing Win98 I left only a partition of 10Gb (9.x Gb), the rest of the disk would be for Linux. Then I tried to install Mandrake, but DrakX told me that the partition for Linux is beyond the cylinder 1024, so I quit installation. I surfed the internet to read some howtos, but my confusion grew larger. My question is: can I install Linux without making a /boot partition within the cylinder 1024? Can I keep my hd like !Win98(10Gb)--!!--- -Linux--- -! or should I go to something like !-/boot-!!-Win98---!!-- ---Linux- -! Please, if you'd be so kind to clarify this to me. Thanks in advance. Hugo GONZALEZ Hugo, This is very easy to fix. When you're doing the install and you're partition your HDD for Linux make these partitions. "/boot" = 10Meg "/" (your 'root' partition) = HOwever big your you want according to physical limits SWAP partition = 200 - 300 Meg that's really all there is to it. -- Mark I love my Linux box...

Thank you Pat Depending on your arrangement, you can just add the win98 config to your lilo.conf file and then run 'lilo' from the command line. Lilo should look something like this: boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b vga=normal default=Linux keytable=/boot/us.klt lba32 prompt timeout=50 message=/boot/message other=/dev/hda1 label=Win98 table=/dev/hda image=/boot/vmlinuz label=Linux root=/dev/hda7 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append=" hdd=ide-scsi" read-only Of course, your situation may differ, but that's about it. The part about 'append= " hdd=ide-scsi"' is because I'm using the reiser filesystem instead of ext2. Make sure to run 'lilo' after you make any changes so that lilo will reinstall to the mbr.
