[newbie-it] R: [newbie-it] ...e la mia partizione dov'è finita?

Saluti kino -Messaggio originale- Da: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Per conto di [EMAIL PROTECTED] Inviato: lunedì 18 settembre 2000 11.19 A: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oggetto: [newbie-it] ...e la mia partizione dov'è finita? Buon giorno a tutti, sono un neofita del mondo Linux quindi scusate se non sono molto preciso. Ho installato qualche giorno fa la Mandrake 7.1 e apparentemente non ho avuto problemi. Ho un hard-disk IBM DTTA da 6,4 GB e l'ho partizionato nel seguente modo: -la prima è di tipo FAT32 ed è grande 2,6 GB, -la seconda sempre FAT32 ed è grande 900MB; -una partizione di Swap da 250MB -una partizione EXT2 con tutto il resto dello spazio (circa 2,6GB) assegnando come mount point la radice (/). Da Linux non ho problemi nel senso che vedo entrambe le partizioni Fat32 ma da Windows non mi vedo più l'unità d: che corrispinde alla seconda partizione (quella da 900MB). Ho provato a visualizzare la tabella delle partizioni dal Partition Magic e, cosa molto strana, mi viene riconosciuta solo la prima partizione fat32; tutte le altre me le indica come unica partizione da circa 3,6 GB con il nome Top86...oltretutto il partition magic di solito gestisce senza problemi sia la EXT2 che la Swap. Ho provato più volte a disinstallare Linux e a ricreare la partizione da 900MB ma ogni qualvolta reinstallo il S.O. il problema si ripresenta. Ho provato ad utilizzare anche il filesystem ReiserFS ma non è cambiato nulla. Qualcuno ha idea di cosa possa essere? Grazie.
[newbie-it] Come far vedere ISDN pro TA su porta USB?
...la mia prima volta! Ho appena installato con successo Mandrake 7.1 Tutto benissimo. Unico problema. PERCHE' NON VEDE IL MIO "US ROBOTICS ISDN PRO TA" ESTERNO SU PORTA USB? Devo fare qualche operazione particolare? Ho notato che durante l'avvio mi rileva le porte usb. Perchè non il modem? Se fosse un problema di driver, come si installa un driver su Linux?

R: [newbie-it] Come far vedere ISDN pro TA su porta USB?
scordati di farlo sunzionare almeno fino a quando non saranno supportati tutti i modem dal modulo isdn4k e sulla 7.1 per adesso sorregge solo l'usb delle tastiere e qualche mouse, forse qualche satmpante ma dubito fortemente. ps.. non sei l'unico in queste condizioni...

Re: [newbie-it] Lilo o Grub?

Infatti finito l'installazione come programma di boot mi viene presentato il Lilo..niente in contrario ma ero curioso di vedere il Grub!!! Come posso ovviare al problema? Durante l' installazione secondo me è sempre meglio usare la modalità expert che ti dà più controllo sulle cose da fare e fa meno cose "in automatico" (vedi anche per il problema partizioni). Il Grub lo puoi installare anche ora con un comando che non ricordo esattamente ma se fai un "info grub" ti ritrovi un bel po' di pagine da leggere tra cui troverai anche il modo per installarlo, Tieni presente che Grub usa un diverso schema per i dischi, partendo da zero e non da uno, per cui la prima partizione del primo disco sarà hd0,0 Ciao -- Sebastiano Cordiano

The problem I am having is that when I go to call out, it finds the modem says it is ready then starts to initialize and goes no father. My modem is in COM port 1, I used dev/ttyS0 instead of dev/modem. I also tried it the other way as well. It once said that it was setting speaker volume but stopped there. Speaker does not mean that much to me anyway since I can not seem to get my sound going hehe.. Dam sound it built onto the Mobo it is ESS and SB compatible but still does not seem to work. Anyway and help would be great. Thanks! Stephen Stephen, did you see my message about your modem setup?? To recap. you could be getting conflicts between your mouse and your modem - regardless of mouse type (USB or serial), it seems the mouse may also be assigned to Com1/ttyS0 - you would be better off to connect the modem to your second serial connector if you have one or to change the address and irq for the serial port on your bios. Take another look at my original response to your plea for help. Once we get the modem side sorted we can move toward sorting out the lack of noises problem...

Re: [newbie] Modem Problems :(
Firstly - how do know your modem is on com4? I looked it up under windows. Funny thing is there are two of the same modem there. I delete one but it pops right back up again. It is the pnp version I think since the name of the modem is the same but with pnp added to it. OK does the list you see in control panel systems also show a device called HSF or similar??? Nope what is say for them is this. U.S Robotics 33.6k FAX EXT for one and the other one say the same but with PNP added at the end. I have a sneaking feeling we are looking at a winmodem here.. Could you try the following for me?? While in windows Open up Hyperterminal (start -- program files -- accessories) You'll need to set up a dummy account - call it test or fred or rubbish or something. Once the terminal window has opened type the following commands and recort the results for me. AT cr( cr = tap the 'enter/return key ) ATI cr ATI1 cr ATI2 cr ... and so on to ATI7 CR EXPECT to get some error messages back - they will be the simple word 'ERROR' What I'm looking for is the make and type of modem - usually this info shows up at ATI5, 6 7. I received a bunch of stuff but the stuff I think you were looking for came up as. ATI3 - U.S Robot ics 33600 fax v5.6.1 ATI - (1.0usroo85\\Modem\PNPC107\U.S Robot ics 33600 FAX EXT) FF There was also a configuration Profile but I did not think you wanted to know this information as of yet. Before you ask I can not disable pnp in the BIOS. I tried but this compaq I bought will not let me do that. The BIOS is not much use other then the simple stuff. I think it is great that they do this for less experience people but I think they should have an option that will let you at everything if you want it. OPPS. My experience with Compaqs has not been good... but I think there are utilities available within the windows environment to alter the bios settings. (some help here from someone else maybe?) I would love any help that is out there, I have not heard of such a program but I will be calling Compaq today to find out. When you restart your machine from a cold boot you should see a panel which shows serial and parallel device info. If you hit the pause key on your keyboard you should be able to halt the boot process so you can copy the data down. I want to know what your BIOS tells us about your serial and parallel ports - ok?. You may restart the boot process by tapping your space bar. opps - wrote that before I knew it was a Compaq we were dealing with. Once again I'm pretty sure we can locate the info we need with the on-board Compaq utility programs... I did this and did not get any information on parallel ports. The only things that showed up are my CD-Rom and Burner, built in sound card (which does not work in Linux). It also says something about a file that it can't find, I will be looking into that in the morning. Ok - that's fine. It really helps to know what sorts of error messages come up - make a note of messeges about missing files they could be really importand in solving this windows or linux. Remember that during the bootup you can pause the display of messages my tapping the pause key on your keyboard. I will write it down on next boot to let you know what it was. In case you are wondering, I did disable the win98 logo so that I could see everything as it boots up. :) Did you know that tapping your Escape key does the same thing??? LOL. nope did not know that but thanks to this fine list I am learning things all the time ;) Once again - what type of mouse do you have - serial or USB ? Nope, I have one of those ps2 mouse, Little round adaptor. Not really sure what it would show up as in windows or Linux, maybe a serial port? Could this be the problem? ah - little round sucker - that will be a PS2 rat - more than likely it's a serial PS2 port on Com1 (That would be ttyS0 in linux) so now we know that the modem must be assigned somewhere else than Com1 or ttyS0. Try this lot and we'll see if we can get you any closer - But we just might nee one of the lits' Compaq experts on board with us as well. Well I hope that one come along soon ;) (help) heh..

[newbie] no longer choice in session types
Hi, After shutting down the system in an unorthodox way, I noticed that the login screen contained less choices of session types: before it said kde, gnome, icewm. Now it just says kde. As I like icewm most, I would like to get it back within the choices at the login screen (I already checked: icewm is still installed). Where do I have to make these changes ? I looked around in the X11 dir but I couldn't make much out of the Xsession etc, Philippe

[newbie] partition plan -- workable?
greeting all. i'm drooling over a new 45G hard drive and plotting how to cut it up. this is my plan at the moment -- wanted to see if anyone saw any dumb ideas here, or is there is something else on the linux side that i should give it's own partition. i'm trying to make it easy to install / upgrade the OS without splatting all my installed programs. i may not have my hda* things right... seems like i read it skips a number someplace if you have lots of partitions? am i on track there? so far my idea is thus (partitions sizes are estimates naturally): hda1 - fat16 - 1G hda2 - fat32 - 4G Win98 hda3 - NTFS - 4G WinNT 4.0 hda4 - fat32 - 6G hda5 - fat16 - 1G Win98/NT swap files hda6 - 5G /home hda7 - 500M /var hda8 - 5G / hda9 - 5G /usr hda10 - 5G /usr/local hda11 - 5G future OS - i'd like to try out this BeOS thing. will it install this far "back" on a drive?? hda12 - whatever - fat32 - to be used repartitioned as needed. thank you for comments happy monday *groan* Adrian Smith 'de telepone dude Telecom Dept. x 7042 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [newbie] partition plan -- workable?
What a hard drive. That got my thinking of the old 500mi drive I had to use to build a new system recently. And even the old 40 meg drives I have. And look at what one had to pay for them back then. It wasn't that many years ago I was paying $150 for a 40Mb drive. I upgraded to a (then HUGE) 250Mb drive that cost me over $400. Of course, the biggest problem with these new big drives (I see that Hitachi are selling 72Gb drives on buy.com for $146, and I've seen 80Gb (I think Maxtor)) is that although one can buy the drives cheaply enough, how the heck does one back them up economically?

One of the few things I don't care for with Mandrake is the large number of apps it installs by default that are of little use to me.

Ozz: Actually, there is a Linux-based web appliance available now from N|C (I think that's how they spell it). The only disk is a CD-ROM which contains the OS and apps -- mostly Netscape with some plug-ins -- Realwhatever, Flash and some other stuff. It's a venture of Larry Ellison (of Oracle and Gates-baiting fame). Costs $400 delivered with 15 inch monitor, mouse, keyboard and speakers. The Cyrix 266 mhz CPU also serves as a space heater ;-). Other stuff inside includes 64 mb RAM, internal 56K winmodem, onboard video, sound, and a small amount of flash RAM for bookmarks, preferences and the like. I think there's also an internal network card and a USB port. All this creature can do -- at least as delivered from the factory -- is surf the web. One interesting thing is that you aren't tied in to them for web access - you get to chose your own from a list -- one free, several paid. The big weakness with this is that the only way to get e-mail is through one of the web-based mail services such as provided by Yahoo or Earthlink. Currently aimed at WebTV upgraders and other technically-impaired types who don't want to deal with virii, drivers, and all of that other scary stuff, I expect that their real target is large networks that would use either server-provided applications, or who could compile their own CD's with preconfigured installations. Before the flames begin (I can hear the ARRRGGH's), it is intended for a specific market -- one that does not include us REAL COMPUTER PEOPLE. Well, that isn't entirely true -- while N|C doesn't do anything to encourage poking around inside the thing, they don't fight it either. In fact, there's a mail list aimed at propeller heads where a couple of factory guys play colder-warmer. Achievements so far include (1) installing a hard drive, (2) creating a new CD-ROM so that you can listen to music while you surf, (3) installing an AMD K6-2 300 -- faster and cooler, and (4) getting windows to run (I don't believe it either, but the guy says it can be done, and we all know that if something is posted on the web, it must be true.) Somehow, my wife seems to have gotten one, and she's let me play with it a little bit -- the present rule is that I cannot have any hand tools on my person. It ain't exactly the most powerful thing I've used, but it does work pretty much as advertised. It is stable. And, if things get screwed up, all you gotta do is shut it down, start it up, and everything is back the way it was. Remember too, that they can upgrade existing systems by just distributing a new CD. And there's lots of empty space on the current CD. Hmmm... My impression is that it is very much a WIP, but after a few iterations, who knows? Best regards, Carroll Grigsby "Austin L. Denyer" wrote: What do you mean by a diskless terminal? I assume he means PCs without hard drives. These can be booted either by floppy (not recommended for obvious security reasons) or by an EPROM on the NIC that greps the boot data from the fileserver. We had these at one of the sites I used to work at. When outside polite company we used to trade the first 's' in diskless to a 'c', which more accurately described them. Having said that, the site was running Windoze at the time, and Windoze sucked on diskless machines. Linux would be OK... Regards, Ozz.

Re: [newbie] Error msg's while booting up mandrake linux
The best thing you can do in this situation is install Linux on it's own partition instead of installing it behind a DOS partition. It's less work and far less headache then the way you're attempting to do it now. lnx4win is VERY buggy at the moment and to tell you the truth IMHO it's the worst kind of Linux installation anyone could ever use. Even if you did get it running you wouldn't be very happy with it cause it WILL run slow and be quite sluggish, not to mention buggy. lnx4win, in my experience runs worse than windows. Actually I wish the good folks at Mandrake wouldn't even offer this type of installation choice. This is my opinion of course, but in doing so it makes an extremely wonderful, dependable, powerful product look like crap and not worth the time or trouble of installation. Kind-a like shooting one's self in the foot cause you're pissed for missing the deer you were aiming at while hunting. Just my humble opinion of course and its guarenteed that others will differ on this subject. Install Mandrake on it's own partition and I guarentee you'll fall in love with the Penguin just like the rest of us on this list did. -- Mark ** =/\= No Penguins were harmed | ICQ#27816299 ** _||_ in the making of this | ** =\/= message...| Registered Linux user #182496 On Mon, 18 Sep 2000, Robert Khazzam wrote: I'm having trouble booting up mandrake linux which is installed on my windows 98 machine (lnx4win).

Re: [newbie] Need Printer Help ...
Mary, Have you checked the Mandrake sites' HCL list yet to see if indeed that printer is supported by Linux Mandrake. If you can find that printer on that list then there's a real good chance you're going to also be able to get help getting it to work. I'm not sure whether or not you will be able to get it to work. Another thing you might try is searching the lists archives to see if this subject has been discussed before. There again if this is the case then you stand a real good chance of find the answers to the questions you're looking for. good luck... -- Mark ** =/\= No Penguins were harmed | ICQ#27816299 ** _||_ in the making of this | ** =\/= message...| Registered Linux user #182496 On Mon, 18 Sep 2000, Mary-Carol Thompson wrote: Hello folks!
