[newbie-it] star office 5.2
Qualcuno ha provato a installare Adabas? Io ho installato Star Office 5.2 nella directory /usr/local/star_office52 (ogni utente deve poi installare alcuni file nella sua home directory). Pensavo di poter fare la stessa cosa con Adabas e l'ho installato in /usr/local/adabas. Ho anche settato a mano le relative variabili (DBROOT, DBWORK, DBCONFIG, LD_LIBRARY_PATH e PATH) nel file .bashrc dell'utente che uso. Quando pero' procedo all'installazione dei file di Star Office necessari al singolo utente, il programma di installazione mi avverte che non e' stato possibile trovare i file per l'installazione del database Adabas e che dovrei avviare il setup di Adabas manualmente dopo aver installato Star Office. Cosa significa? Che devo installare Adabas per ogni utente che lo vuole utilizzare? Scusate se sono stato troppo lungo :-) Davide

[newbie-it] Problemone col mouse
Descrivo in sintesi il mio problema. Ho la Com 1 e 2 cioccate sulla scheda madre, per ovviare al problema ho messo una scheda Pci con le due porte, in Winzozz tutto ok in Linux non so come fargliele vedere, in installazione (7.1) configuro un mouse seriale standard sulla Com2 (ttyS1) ma non c'è verso di farlo funzionare. Siccome sono un newbieissimo, per pietà siate mooolto umani. Buon ferragosto for everybody!
[newbie-it] Aiuto con connessione LENTA
Ok, ci riprovo : da totale neofita ho installato la mandrake 7.1 e sembra funzionare tutto discretamente bene, a parte la connessione internet : ossia, funziona tutto bene, soltanto che e' _mostruosamente_ lenta. Kppp mi dice che si connette sui 50k bps, ma in realta' la navigazione procede veramente lentissima, molto piuì' lenta che col mio vecchio 14.4. Qualcuno ha dei consigli da darmi ? I driver per il mio modem non esistono per linux, e' una sottomarca suqallida, e durante l'installazione me l'ha riconosciuto come un generico 56k. Grazie a tutti SAM

[newbie] Samba weirdess
I am running Mandrake 7.1 w/ Samba 2.0.6 and have had two annoying, but weird problems: 1) For each individual user, Samba shows their own home directory and all others that they have permissions to(as it should). But, inside of each individual's home directory, it lists all directories in /home whether they are a share or not. Luckily, access is not granted to those without permission. But this causes enormous clutter and I only want users to have knowledge of directories they are cleared to view/write to. How can I prevent samba from listing all the directories in /home inside each users home directory? 2) While playing with permissions and using SWAT I noticed that /etc/smb.conf was completly blank at one point, but samba still worked. I rebooted both the Linux/samba server and my Win95 box, and to my surprise all the shares were still usable including the annoying problem listed above. /etc/smb.conf was still blank! I have since recreated the shares with SWAT and everything seems fine, but was interested how the shares could have continued to work(after reboots) if smb.conf was blank? Any help appreciated, Victor

Read this whole page Cindy, it explains it all pretty well.
http://mandrakeuser.org/install/kupgrade3.html
The Mandrake kerenel rpms' make the changes to both grub and
lilo. Grub will automagically pick up the change on re-boot, but
you must run '/sbin/lilo' (as root) to make the change to the new
kernel if you use lilo. With both it's a good idea to review their
config files ('lilo.conf', grub's 'menu.lst') before rebooting or
running '/sbin/lilo'. I always make sure my bootdisk is working
also, in case I need to boot the old kernel.

[newbie] KDE Resolution problem
HI, all -- I am having a weird problem with my KDE resolution. Currently using 7.0 (Air). I changed the resolution from 1024x768 to 1280x1024, using DrakeConf and did the test to verify that the higher resolution would work. All seemed OK until I tried to relogin using the higher resolution. My monitor proceeded to click away, all black. Had to reboot and come up as Linux 3 and use XF86config to reconfigure the X file. Now what happens is that it comes up in 640x480. I can change the resolution by ctrl-alt-+ to get to 1280x1024 (the only resolution that gets the whole desktop in), but this is a pain. If I try again using DrakeConf to change the resolution to what the KDE thinks it is, I get the same thing. The error message is that it can't start the default font. Has anybody else ever seen this? And what is it that DrakeConf doesn't change when going from one resolution to another?

[newbie] Problems w/Netscape 4.73 Mandrake Updater
Netscape 4.73 seems unable to load several java pages that are favorites
around my house, such as a couple of the games at Yahoo. The Mandrake
Update feature gives me a list of all the things it can get for me,
among which is Netscape 4.74, but every time I try to get it I get an
error ('error fetching').
The weird part is that I ftp'ed to half a dozen mirror sites, including
ones listed by the Updater, and can't find any 4.74 at all. All the
Netscapes available for download are 4.73.
Does anyone know if this 4.74 really exists? Is the Mandrake Updater
generally kinda flaky, or is it a local problem?
While I'm at it, does anyone know of a better browser? As someone who's
accustomed to IE, Netscape is a real disappointment.

QIII fps is better for nVidia products. Tom's hardware just did a nice write up on comparing the nVidia based chipsets .. Sadly he didn't go into great detail on how he reached his high fps scores. Maximum Linux also did a write up in their latest magazine issue. They also didn't discuss their QIII settings. There were probably settings used in the demo (low picture details, etc) that 'increased' the fps. Taken from page 77 of the magazine @640x480 Voodoo 357.7 fps Matrox G400 70.6 fps nVidia 96 fps The differences are even greater for 1024x768 Voodoo 333.4 Matrox G400 44.7 nVidia Geforce 75.4 Hope this helps http://www.linuxtests.org -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Andrew Brown Sent: Monday, August 14, 2000 9:45 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] New Video card sugestions At long last i am attempting to use linux as my desktop for just about everythin.

There is no hex editing needed to change the logo. The logos are stored in the files c:\logo.sys c:\windows\logos.sys c:\windows\logow.sys and, in windows 98, c:\windows\logow.w98.

Re: [newbie] Install problems
Well, I purchased MDKLinux 7.1 Complete which only include the installation disk and application. I had tried installing it on my Old 166 mhz IBM Aptiva. When I got to the end and it ask for the application CD. My CD-Rom wouldnt open. and along side with that. My X-windows would not get installed. At first I thought maybe the disk were damaged because I had installed 6.1 on it with no problem. So I thought well I'll try it on my newer computer which is 533 Intel Celeron and surprisingly It installed everything including the application CD. and Everything is working beautifully.

Re: [newbie] Problems w/Netscape 4.73 Mandrake Updater
Hi Cindy -- When you go into the ftp site looking for updates make sure
that you go to the update folder in Mandrake 7.1 -- you will find the
Netscape 4.74 there (and yes, it does exist grin). I personally use
ftp://ftp.wtfo.com/pub/linux/mandrake -- but that is because I am on the
West Coast.
As far as a better browser in Linux, so far Netscape seems the most stable
to me. Again, personally, I never cared for IE even when I was a windoze
user -- always used Netscape there too.
Good luck,

Re: [newbie] Linux friendly ISPs, what are their server specs?
I don't know if this is the sort of answer you are looking for, but here goes. My ISP is io.com. It runs on Red Hat Linux and uses Apache for its web hosting. Of course, many ISP's use some variant of Unix in the guts of their operations. The difference would be that there is at least one tech support person who can answer questions from people using Linux on the desktop. My ISP has a telnet option. For $9.95 or so a month anyone in the U.S. (or world for that matter) can have a shell access to io.com's computer. This assumes you already have local dial-up connectivity, because dialing directly (via minicom or seyon for example) would cost big bucks in phone charges. As part of my package I have the shell option. I can use ssh to log into their computer, read mail, surf the web with lynx, play games, read usenet, and even use IRC -- hey, it's safer to chat via someone else's computer! I have even fired up mc during a session or two. I have not tried but I suspect many system config files cannot be read by a logged-in user. It would be interesting to find out, but I don't want to do anything to jeopardize my account. ;-) Phil On Mon, 14 Aug 2000, Hugo GONZALEZ wrote: Hello.

[Fwd: [newbie] Wrong Kernel Reported]
I don't think this msg got out, because Netscape crashed as I was sending it. Harvey Hi Cindy, I think things would work well if you added "-2.2.16-9" after "vmlinuz" (ex: image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-9). Although you have 2 kernels on your hard drive, lilo only knows about the first. The "link" is only to the first kernel. In lilo.conf, you must configure kernel 2.2.16-9. If you wish, you can have both kernels in your lilo.conf file, in case the new one doesn't work. When you boot up, if you push the tab key at "boot:" you can choose which kernel your system should use. I would do it this way" Under the first image section image=boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-9 label=linux place a copy of the entire first image section, with the following change image=boot/vmlinuz-2.2.15-4 label=old This way when you press the tab key, you will have a choice between "linux", "old", and whatever boot ups you have on your system. You can have as many kernels listed in your lilo.conf file as you wish, deleting them when no longer needed. When you use /sbin/lilo, you are giving lilo.conf's instructions to lilo. If you made an error, /sbin/lilo will tell you. Otherwise, you will get a message like: $lilo Added linux * Added old (whatever else is going to be there) The asterisk (*) means that your new kernel which has the label "linux", is the default. Reboot, and have fun. I hope this helps. If you need more info, write again. The wonderful thing about linux people, is that we happy to help each other. Harvey Cindy Bartorillo wrote: My lilo.conf reads: image=/boot/vmlinuz which is a link to the new kernel. So I figured I shouldn't have to change anything. Does lilo need to be rerun anyway? I'd really like to understand what goes on here. Harvey Janson wrote: Hi Cindyb, You downloaded Kernel 2.2.16-9, but did you tell your system this was the kernel you wanted used? 1. Open /etc/lilo.conf with a text editor (ex: pico /etc/lilo.conf). Change image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.15-4 to image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-9 2. Tell lilo to make the change by entering /sbin/lilo on the command line. 3. Reboot. Everything should be fine. If not, send another e-mail.

But when I rebooted, the opening screen says I have 2.2.15-4, and so does the KDE Control Center, and so does the Netscape site. I have the new 2.2.16-9 directory and the links in /boot definitely point to the new kernel. So why won't anyone acknowledge it? CindyB

Is there a simple way to do that hex change you speak of? I may not understand what hex editing has to do with shutdown and start up screen changes, but i do know how i change my startup, wait, and shutdown screens on windows 95/98. there are 3 files in windows or windows/system directory(might need to use find since some OEMs could put these files in different places): logo.sys(startup), logow.sys(wait screen), and logos.sys(shutdown screen) they are just bitmaps with the .sys eextention, and have to be 320x400 256 color bitmap. if you dont use a program to switch the screens then back up your originals, and replace them with new ones you make or download from net __ Get your free web-based email at http://www.xoom.com Birthday?

Re: [newbie] Nothing works on mandrake.
IMHO There is nothing to do with the security level. That's the normal and GOOD way to login for all security. Don't login as root if absolutely necessary. Eric MC Anthony wrote: I'm willing to bet that is because you set your security level too high. If you set it at the highest level, then it doesn't allow direct login's to root. To change it, run "DrakConf" and hit teh Security button. I can't login as root, I need to login as a normal user and then to su(This can probably be changed), -- Anthony http://binaryfusion.net Computers are not intelligent. They only think they are.
Re: [newbie] Logitech wheel mouse scrolling
I tried using that script but it still doesn't work. any other suggestins anyone? as always, any help is greatly appreciated.

On my 7.0 installation imwheel is SUID. I start it with the following script in ~/Desktop/Autostart #! /bin/bash xterm -e imwheel -k exit 0 For reasons I haven't figured out yet this works while just putting the path to imwheel does not. My guess is because the program is SUID but thats only a guess. A previous poster suggested putting an actual copy of the imwheel executable in ~/Desktop/Autostart. I have not tried this. The drawback to my method is that you occasionally see a xterm window open for a split second when KDE is loading.

[newbie] Netscape New Kernel Problems
Thanks to everyone who helped with my problems. The new netscape *was* on the mirrors. The trick was to look in /pub/updates/Mandrake and NOT /pub/Linux/Mandrake/updates. Also, I finally got it installed, using --nodeps and --force. Neither the Mandrake rpm program nor the KDE rpm program could install this rpm. Had to do it by hand. Unfortunately, the new netscape is much like the old. As a guy two cubicles down said, "It may not have many features, but at least it's slow." (While I'm on the subject of not working, just tried to add a program to my KDE menu and clicked on the Panel/Edit Menus option. Nothing happens.) My new kernel is now recognized. All I had to do was rerun LILO, although I still don't understand why. Apparently LILO doesn't run at the time of bootup, because executing vmlinuz would definitely load the new kernel. Welcome to UNIX. :-) I'm definitely learning. CindyB
[newbie] Fw: zip disk drive
I had to subscribe again in order to get any of the emails again. Any help with the zip drive would be great. I have a dual boot system with Windows 95 and Linux Mandrake 7.0.

Is anyone else having this problem? Second of all, I finally have my internal Atapi Zip drive supermounted in Mandrake 7.0 but I cannot access it. I click on the zip icon and I get the same error message that I was always getting-can't find dev/hdc4 in /etc/fstab. How do I create an icon to work with my supermounted zip disk?How do I access my zip with or without an icon? How do I save files and place them into my zip disk? Any assistance will be appreciated.
