Re: [newbie] Solicitar información
Well, I'm reading this discussion about what language use and I want say something, (without trying to kill anyone, this only a comment) I'm Spanish, and I'm here, why? because the Spanish lists, news, etc... where I can speak in my foreign language normally works like shit, nobody answers our questions, perhaps because they don't know, perhaps because they don't want to answer, I don't know, but that's makes that lot of people that wants to learn something, or resolve some problems, enters in English lists, (that are more easy to understand to us than other languages than German for example), this don't mind that all of us could speak in English, but perhaps could understand it, I thing that that's the Case of Fernando Vasconcelos, I thing that people that could understand Spanish, could try to help Fernando, and the others simply Ignore it. Anyway, I understand that for the people that don't want to receive mails in Spanish, perhaps we could propose something, like put [Spanish] in the subject or something, then that people could filter this type of mails, don't you thing? Please don't kill someone only for speak in Spanish because don't got other chance to try to communicate learn resolve problems about linux, help him.

Re: [newbie] How to assign dynamic DNS??
Hi John, I a very very newbie in Linux but I'll try to help you anyway. In Kppp: 1. go to configuration 2. Put a name for your connection 3. then edit the connection 4.

In the Name Server tab enter the Domain Name of your server 6. In the IP ADDRESS OF THE NAME SERVER enter first the Primary DNS and click ADD and then do the same with the secondary DNS, and thats it. Now you can connect, if all the rest is OK. Oh! one thing if you don't know what are your primary and secondary DNS in windows, go to c:/windows/winipcfg and there you can see them.

Re: [[newbie] Athlon thunderbird ka7-100]
I use a PIII 500 with 64Mb of RAM. Starting up SO does take some time, but I can handle that. The problem is trying to do anything else on your computer, e.g.. use Netscape. Once you change applications your disk starts swapping and never stops. I use VMware and Win95 with Office97. This uses less memory and is 'quicker' than using Staroffice. Maybe I should buy some more RAM and give Staroffice another go. Cheers Francs "Austin L.

Re: [newbie] I am having problems with my modem
Mark, As I said, if you disable COM2 on the motherboard you may find that the modem will successfully reassign and operate in both NT and Linux, since you will have cleared an address conflict. Some motherboards will stop the PowerOnSelfTest before turning control over to an operating system with this kind of address conflict, though most will not. And, yes, changing to a p/s2 mouse will clear the IRQ conflict (since COM1 and COM3 share the same interrupt) and allow you to use COM3 for the modem. Borrow your friends p/s2 mouse and verify it for yourself. You will have to reconfigure the mouse, but hopefully most of this will be automatic. This will let you see what configuration problems you are getting into so that you can backout if you wish, but once reconfigured you won't want to go back to a serial mouse, if nothing else simply to avoid the headaches. Maybe I should have been more explicit when I mentioned the p/s2 mouse before. Again, my question is why this works in NT. You and I are on the same track with this one. The IRQ conflict, as a function of the motherboard, exists independently of any operating system; if it works in NT it should work in Linux, and if it doesn't work in Linux I would expect it not to work in NT. I'd like to hear the explanation for that one! -Gary- In a message dated 9/13/2000 8:14:46 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The modem works fine on COM3 in NT, in fact, it will not run on COM2, I tried.

Interrupt lines are a function of the motherboard (not the operating system as I saw mentioned in another posting), and there are a physically limited number of interrupts available on the motherboard, hence the sharing. I don't know if moving the mouse to COM2 is viable or not. Usually COM1 is hard configured, i.e. whatever you plug in "here" is COM1. There is usually a COM2 preexisting to complicate matters. Your motherboard CMOS will give you the answer about whether those physical ports can be flipped or logically reassigned. I don't think that this is going to be a simple swap, but I've never needed to reassign the mouse and this is beyond my experience. If you do move the mouse, you may also have software configuration problems because the mouse is NOT on COM1. A like reason is why some programs will not operate with nonstandard soundcards. Tell us what your results are if you try. What's stopping you from using COM2 for the modem? Assuming that your modem will assign there, which it should if it is now on COM3 (but it actually may or may not), to change the modem to COM2 you may first have to eliminate the address conflicts by disabling COM2 in CMOS. Maybe the COM2 address being occupied is what was stopping the modem from assigning to COM2 in the first place (assuming the modem is not jumpered). If the modem is jumpered the jumper configuration is usually printed on the circuit card and it's just a matter of whether it will take the COM2 address space, which they usually will. Jumpering to COM2 will work in this case even if there is an address conflict, though the conflict could stop the POST requiring you to fix it immediately to boot into any o/s -- the conflict would need to be eliminated in CMOS for the modem to work in any case. Another option, if you cannot change the modem to COM2, and COM2 is not otherwise in use, might be to change the modem to COM4, which uses the same interrupt as COM2 but a different logical address. This should work "as is", but in some cases you might need to disable COM2 in CMOS. If you have a free interrupt available, and either COM2 or COM4* is already in use tying up that interrupt, you might assign the modem to COM5 and then assign the free interrupt to COM5. Once you get past the first four COM ports things get easier, though they eat additional resources (interrupts). Configure software as necessary in all cases. * in which case moving the mouse to COM2 will create another interrupt conflict, this time with COM4. Sorry, but a modem on COM3 is an unusual problem. As a former computer technician I've never seen it set up this way, presumably

[newbie] Major window manager slowness and quirky netscape issues
I'm running Mandrake on a pentium II 400MHz/128MB at the resolution one up from 1024x768 and with a medium size centered wallpaper. It's just not very perky - it's not "impossible" slow but it's "annoyingly" slow. Also, Netscape takes forever to load web pages and it keeps reloading pages when you hit the back key.

Also, Netscape will just disappear on me while I browsing does anyone else have these problems. Is there a way to speed up the window manager?
Re: [newbie] More C++ problems
Mark, How is the hard drive utilization set up in your motherboard's CMOS now? LBA has been in general use for several years, and your motherboard is definitely young enough to have LBA support. If your CMOS shows your hard drive's CHS and mode both "auto", are you using a hard drive from an earlier machine? Auto will support the hard drive in the manner it is setup. If the drive came from a non-LBA capable machine, the new machine will use it non-LBA. At the end of this message I'm putting a longish rant about shim programs and LBA. If you are using a shim program you need to read it, otherwise read it for background. If you have a drive over about 8.4GB and are using the full capacity without a shim program you are using LBA mode, so your error message is from another cause. If your CMOS has a hard drive detection/configuration routine, you can use that to confirm thst your motherboard is using LBA mode. The instructions in the fourth paragraph of the shim material which begin, "To see what the BIOS thinks about the new drive", at the end of this message will tell you if your motherboard is capable of and is using LBA mode. If there are several choices, one may be marked with "", this is what auto would use. When doing anything in the CMOS, you should KNOW how to get out without changing anything before you do (or change) anything. If in doubt abort and begin again. Better safe than sorry [I know, it's an old cliche', but true]. If you have a large drive that was setup as non-LBA that can be fixed, even a shim can be fixed, but it may be more involved than you want to deal with. The suggestion of using GRUB sounded good to me [as I am not knowledgeable about the limitations or capabilities of LILO or GRUB], but if you want to know more about LBA, ask. -Gary- In a message dated 9/12/2000 8:58:42 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: That being the case, I have a ABIT motherboard that is about 10 months old and it is made for a PIII.

I did not do sound yet but finally got that to work when I first installed Linux, so I am sure I will get it going again. Not that I care that much, but is there anyway to access my Windows 95 or the files that are hiding on my D drive that I cannot access right now?

Yes, you can strip the needless features from it.

Re: [newbie] RE: seti
hi abe, you are right, seti is run from the command line with the switch '-graphics' to allow the included prog xsetiathome to display a graphic of seti's work, configuration of seti is still done from the command line, there are other x frontends but i don't know if they can configure seti bascule Abe wrote: the program will ask you if you have an account or want to start one the first time you run it.

Re: [newbie] RE: seti
Ok, what you do is this: Install all the SETI files into their own directory. If you want the graphical version then from a terminal session within X run ./setiathome -graphics ./xsetiathome the -graphics tells it to format it's output for the graphical front end (xsetiathome). As Abe said, it will ask you for account details the first time it is run - that will either create a new one, or connect you to your old one. Note - whilst you can run multiple instances of SETI, they must each be in their own directory. Also, you can only run one with the -graphics switch. If you want to be able to view multiple instances graphically, try Look@Seti (http://www.jhochwald.de/linux/lookatseti/e_index.html). Try it - you'll like it... Regards, Ozz.
Re: [newbie] Connecting to NT DHCP Server
I have never had the opportunity to set up NT server for DHCP assignment of non-windows clients. I am not sure whether you will need to install Samba in order to be a DHCP client under a WinNT DHCP Server. The reason behind this is that Windows NT Server DHCP uses the NetBIOS name in the discovery packets in order to respond with a lease offer. If linux does not automatically send a computer name in the form of a NetBIOS designation, the NT server may not understand the discovery packet information. You (or a NetAdmin) may have to establish a client reservation or exclude an IP address from one of the NT DHCP Scopes (are there more than one?) on the DHCP server. If you exclude one IP address in the Windows NT Scope this can be used for your linux box, and can remain static. For the linux box, the standard DHCP settings should be sufficient, let me know what you've attempted, and we might be able to resolve the client issue. Since you are on a company LAN, you may have to request a static IP from the NetAdmin. --Greg - Original Message - From: "Robert "JTBob" Holland" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, Can Mandrake Linux connect to a Windows NT DHCP server?

RE: [[newbie] Athlon thunderbird ka7-100]
I just bought a voodoo5 about three weeks ago. It is a great card. I'll layout my thinking for you so you can see what I took into account. 1. My past experience: My old computer has two voodoo2's running in SLI mode. They perform on par with video cards like ATI rage fury, rage pro, matrox g400 and tnt2 with one exception. The visual quality is superior. Also, those cards work equally well in linux and windows which is important to me because I play a lot of games that are not and probably never will be available for linux. 3Dfx drivers are excellent for both platforms and while they are not updated as often as Nvidia's drivers they are updated when they need to be. 2. My monitor refreshes at 75hz. So, frame rates beyond that are kind of silly. A movie (film in a theater) displays about 32 fps. Movies look real enough to me...you? neurons can only fire once every 130th of a second. so, I guess about 120-130 fps is about the most that is even theoretically percievable by a human. 3. My game playing habits. Given a choice between playing at 1024x768 in 16bit color with details set to low and playing at 800x600 in 32 bit with details set to medium I'll take 800x600 every time. In other words, image quality is more important to me then frame rates above about 50fps. Also, the majority of the games I own will use glide and look better, are faster when using it. I will choose Glide everytime over OpenGL or D3D assuming that there is not a clear and unmistakeable advantage to one of the other API's in a particular game. 4. Extra's on the video card. I had an ATI rage fury with TV out, S-Video out and a host of other features. I never used them once. They were a total waste of money for me. Since I had already come to the conclusion that I was choosing between geforce and voodoo5, I looked at their extras. GeForce2, very very very fast. hardware TL that only about three games available right now use. Of those three I own and play quake3. More games coming in the next year or so. Very good drivers updated very often and very good linux support. Software full screen anti-aliasing. voodoo5, very fast. Glide for all of my old games that I still play regularly. Half-Life, Star Siege, quake2, and so on. Glide for new games too. Deus Ex, Unreal tournament, Quake3 and many more. Full screen anti-aliasing in hardware with no extra code required. It can be used with every game out of the box. I choose the voodoo5 because it supports all of my old games, it plays them with VERY high fps with no FSAA and it plays them at very playable fps with FSAA being used. Typical Half-life fps with 4xFSAA enabled at 1024x768 in Glide are 50-70. Absolutely playable and so freaking beautiful that I can't really describe it with words. UT I play with 2xFSAA in Glide and sit about the same 50-70 fps at 800x600 with every detail level cranked to the highest. In linux the current voodoo5 drivers drivers only use 1 of the chips on the board. I play quake3 at 800x600 with 16 bit color depth and medium detail levels. Time demo1 produces 57.2 fps. Imagine when the drivers that use both chips are available!If I want straight speed, I turn off wall marks, ejecting brass, turn on simple items, play at 640x480 with vertex lighting and get 80-90 fps in game. In short, I read all the reviews, I read the hardware specs and I talk with people who have the hardware to see what it really runs like before I make a decision. Generally I have a pretty goos idea of what I'm getting before I buy so I am usually very satisfied with my purchases. In the case of the voodoo5 and duron based computer I built, it has exceeded my expectations. I'm happy. Abe also, read this article for some illumination on the fps thing. http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/00q3/000704/index.html = Original Message From "dwyatt" [EMAIL PROTECTED] = Sorry if I missed something, because I've not been following this thread. But, anyway, you sound like you use your comp a lot like I do (very hard). I do have my PIII 500e o/c'd to 750 MHz. I have no stability problems. (stock Intel heatsink w/ no extra case or processor cooling and been running for 6 months 24/7) When it comes to 3d accelerator cards, what would you consider a more accurate indicator of a card's worth than it's fps rating? Sure, features are important, but as far as 3d accelerator cards go, most all of them have near the same features. So how is rating a card based on it's fps rating hogwash? Sometimes, a feature is so good that it outweighs the performance advantage of another 3d card. For example, www.firingsquad.com rated the Voodoo 5 higher than the Geforce2 because of the voodoo's higher visual quality, even though it is slower than the GF2. In general though, fps ratings are all that matters when comparing 3d cards, because features are so similar. BTW, my 250MHz overclock gets me anywhere from

[newbie] Modem Problems :(
Hello all. My modem will not work no matter what I do. I have followed some of the suggestion that come through the list but none worked. I thought I would tell you all what the problem is and maybe somebody could come up with something. First about the modem: -- It is a 33.6 USRobotics Faxmodem, External. There are a lot of switches on the back of it and I am not sure what they are for. I am going to list in order what they are for. Maybe this will help figure out why it won't work in Linux. 1. UP - Data Terminal Ready normal Down - Data terminal ready override 2. UP - Verbal result codes Down - Numeric result codes 3. UP- Suppress results codes Down - Display resultscodes 4. UP - ECHO offline commands Down - No echo, offline commands 5. UP - Auto answer on the first ring, or higher if specified in NVRAM Down - Auto answer off 6. UP - Carrier detect normal Down - Carrier detect override 7. UP- Load NVRAM defaults Down - Load factory defaults 8. Up - Dumb mode Down - Smart mode That is all for the modem now on to the problem.. My modem is inCOM4 but when I use kppp it tells me my modem is busy, not uncommon I see. when I switch the device to COM1 or ttyS0it will say, Modem is ready then it stops on Initializing and goes no father. Even the query workswhen on ttyS0, not sure why. I did a /proc/pci and found out thatmy port is 0x1850 and theIRQ is 5. all the stuff I tried is no longer there for I reloaded Linux just a few min. ago. I was wondering if I should ofpicked modem on Networking during the install ?Well if you can think of anything or would like me to type out what a certain program told me let me know, I will do it as fast as I can. Thanks for you time in this matter for me. OH, I tried to reg. my Linux and the mail bounced. I guess I will tryit again but do any of you know if there is something wrong at the Mandrake site?

I have been told that I should install Windows2000 first then Mandrake 7.0. Is this the right way to go? Will I have trouble installing Mandrake7.0 on a NTFS hard drive? Does anybody have any suggestions on the best route to take? Thanks for any help that you all may provide. My #1 suggeston to you is if you are planning to use the LILO bootloader is to NOT install 7.0 with Win2000 get 7.1 instead so that you can use the Grub bootloader. If for whatever reason you should ever want to remove linux if you are using LILO it can totally trash your Win2000 MBR and I mean non-repairably. If you want to boot from a floppy you can install in any order. To use Grub (PLEASE not LILO) to boot to either OS you should install Win2000 first and then linux. Either way that you install you should have 2 partition set up before you begin the installation. 1 partiton for Win2000 and 1 for linux. Unless you have a special reason for using NTFS I would also recco that you use Fat32 for Win2000.It is easier and safer to read and write to it from linux. Should you desire more info as it partains to Win2000 you are welcome to contact me direct. Charles

Re: [newbie] RE: seti
What graphic are you talking about. When I run it from a command line all I see is text scrolling by as it's working. The only graphics I've seen are when I initiate setiathome with the Tcl script xseti. That starts the hole thing working right off and will even contact the seti server and download new files and upload the one's that are finished. But with only 64MB of RAM running both the GUI front end and the binary at the same time it tends to draw TOO heavily on my system to the point where X crashes if I attempt to run too much else. I can "just" run a terminal window running Pine while the text mode is running.

As Abe said, it will ask you for account details the first time it is run - that will either create a new one, or connect you to your old one.

Re: [newbie] Can't browsing to internet
OK, you need to remove the IP address 202.134.0.155 from your ppp0 gateway. This is not your gateway. :-) The address resolves as: ns1.telkom.net.id It is your (probably primary) DNS Server. Most name server host names are called "ns" for obvious reasons. It makes administration a tiny bit easier. Let's stop using Kppp for a bit, and try to correctly configure ppp0 in linuxconf. If you can get to DrakConf (and I had the annoying problem of having to install the bugger despite having an icon sitting on my desktop) you can find Linuxconf through that application. Otherwise, open a terminal, su to root, and type, simply, linuxconf [enter]. The following is done by memory as I don't have a modem in my system, and my version of linuxconf is probably different from yours Under Client tasks, Click PPP,SLIP,PLIP and you should see a list where you can add devices. It may be empty as you've been using Kppp until now. Click Add. You need to give your device a name, use ppp0, then specify your device (usually /dev/modem), and the com port it uses--you can actually get this from Kppp by asking it to query the modem. the com port will look something like: /dev/ttySx, where 'x' is a number from 0 through your last port, probably 3. When I had a modem in my system it was on /dev/ttyS0, but if you have a serial mouse, it may be taking /dev/ttyS1 or 2. You will need to set your dialing configuration, which is DHCP, DISabled at boot, and the telephone number you dial with. Next you need to configure your PAP/CHAP. Fewer ISPs are using CHAP now, so let's give PAP a shot. This is your dial-up username ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), and your password. If I remember correctly, that should be it... Click Accept, Click Quit, Click Activate Changes, and linuxconf should go away. Back at the command line, type: /sbin/ifup ppp0 There should be a bit of noise as your computer dials, and when the command line is returned to you (the cursor drops to the next prompt) you are connected. If the modem dials more than three time, hit CTRL-C as we may have done something worng. If that's the case, go back to linuxconf, and let me know the other options available. I don't have a single linux box with a modem to check this on, and my boxes without modems do not show me the PPP,SLIP,PLIP option. cat /etc/resolve.conf You should see at least two IP addresses there. Try to ping them. If you get the following, we're on the right track: 64 bytes from ns1.telkom.net.id (202.134.0.155): icmp_seq=0 ttl=237 time=918.2 ms Then try:ping www.linux-mandrake.com You should see the same response. If you get a time-out error, or network un-reachable, let me know. If you have gotten the response from that last line, try Netscape, and it should be fine. You may then bring doen the interface by typing: /sbin/ifdown ppp0 And then try using Kppp. When I first started using Linux, I had a few problems with Kppp, and stopped using it due to the reliability of the command line activation. If you still have problems with Kppp, you can either try erasing all the data from it's configuration and start Kppp over from its beginning, or try wvdial.
