[newbie-it] plugger
Situazione: - ho una Mandrake-7.1 con Netscape e plugger - nelle applications di Netscape a midi, wav, ... corrisponde l'uso del plugin plugger - quando apro alcune pagine web si sente la musica di sottofondo e se vado sulla homepage di plugger funzionano tutti i test Il mio problema e` che con altre pagine (es.: www.avvento.net, ma non solo) quando le apro mi appare una finestra che segnala la mancanza del plugin adatto e mi suggerisce di installare ... plugger. Normalmente della cosa non mi importa granche', adesso pero` mia cognata, che ha fatto la pagina di cui parlavo prima, mi ha chiesto di aiutarla a renderla pienamente Linux/Netscape-compatibile. Le ho gia` fatto aggiungere un embed oltre al windozziano bgsound, ma le mie conoscenze in materia si fermano qui. E' un problema di non corretta installazione? Io ho messo solo gli rpm standard di Mandrake, a parte il file per tradurre le scritte in italiano. Possibile che sia quello? E` un problema di pagina html? il codice mi sembra corretto: embed src="musica/JingleBells01.mid" hidden="true" align="baseline" border="0" width="0" height="0" autostart="true" volume="100" noembed bgsound src="musica/JingleBells01.mid" loop="-1" /noembed In fin dei conti riconosce che c'e` qualcosa da suonare e tra le terminazioni dei file midi elencate su netscape sono stato attento che ci fosse anche "mid". grazie, Andrea
[newbie-it] supporto midi
Pentium 233 64MB Ram 20 GB HD, con partizione di 5 GB per Linux-Mandrake Scheda Audio pci Ensoniq 1371 Ho installato Mandrake 7.1 (per la precisione quello fornito dalla rivista INTER.NET), e mentre il supporto per il suono funziona normalmente, il supporto MIDI non sembra nemmeno installato. Ho provato col player MIDI e MIDI-Karaoke che fornite nel pacchetto e mentre il primo non si avvia nemmeno, il secondo non suona mandando il messaggio che non accede su dev/sequencer (per la cronaca la mia dir dev e' quasi del tutto piena di file di dimensione 0 byte). Qualcuno mi ha suggerito Timidity, e raggirerebbe pure il probema, ma vorrei usare i programmi midi a scopo di composizione per cui non mi sembra la soluzione migliore. Quindi: - E' la mia Ensoniq che non riesce ad essere configurata bene? - E' Mandrake che non implementa di base le funzioni Midi? Che fare in questo caso? - E' possibile emulare le funzioni Midi attraverso una soluzione simile a Timidity, ma piu' a basso livello? Grazie in anticipo. Eugenio Odorifero

Re: [newbie] install hangs with 7.1.
Gary, Solved the problem. I changed the video card to a matrox g200, which is on the supported list and it works OK. The card Iwas using was a trio v64 (S3) and is also on the supported list. I wonder if its the fact that I was not using the AGP slot but a PCI card and having an empty AGP slot?? Any ideas? RH and Caldera handle it ok, I think mandrake need to have a look.

Gary, I bought the package (Linux Mandrake 7.1 complete)from the local software shop and the bios virus is disabled. Since posting this email I have elimated a few things. I had the motherboard with only the video card installed, and as its a PCI s3 it should not be the cause of the problem. The motherboard does use the Via Apollo chipset, and the hang will occurr anytime linux probes the PCI bus. I ran through the expert install, and anytime I answer yes to probling the PCI bus it dies. I tried reseting my motherboard to defaults, still no different. I also tried a 5GB drive which is only udma33, but still the same problem. I also tried another motherboard, a 233MMX and it hangs as well. The only item I havn't changed is the video card, which I will do, but as Red Hat works fine, I don't expect it to be the video.

I chose the developers option during install, so I would assume that it would be installed for me if it's there...I tried to install StarOffice, but it could not find an environment to run in (couldn't find a java env.). I will probably want to write java applets at some point: I don't just want this for StarOffice. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you have the Deluxe version, you could install the Sun JDK from the commercial applications disk. I think that is one of the apps that is included in the Deluxe version, but not the Complete version. If you don't have it you can download a version that will work from www.blackdown.org. If you have installed Java and StarOffice it did not find it during the install. You will need to edit the ~/Office52/user/config/javarc file. Just remove the offending version from the "ExcludeVersion" line. Then restart StarOffice and select bookmarks - Java - Java Setup and then pick the install. -- Alex (Go easy on me, I'm a COBOL programmer in real life)

Hello there, I am a newbie as well and I have a problem: I want to connect to the internet I have an ISP (tel number, login and password) I have kppp and some other programs (gnome-ppp) as well as netconfig from drakeconfig I have a modem which although it is a internal and not being recognised by my system it works!! (it even works under real DOS !!!) Saying that it is really slow to communicate with my system, it may take half a minute or more for the info to go to my modem I therefore configured kppp and everything and my computer dials out when it goes to sending the login and password: 1. either not sends it at all (if it is in pap connection mode I think) 2. or it sends the login and then by the time it sends the password the terminal shows incorect pass try again and hence my password is being send as a login What can I do??? (apart from bying a new modem!) Also: i have connected once using netconfig from drakeconfig and everything worked but then the modem is even slower to communicate with the system kppp thinks it is connected (and it is propably) but in reality I am not as I cannot access the web Many thanx Costas

[newbie] X 4.0.1 and very low resolution
I installed X 4.0.1 on Toshiba M500 (PIII500, 64 megs) w/ a Nvidia "Riva Vanta" video card. Everything works, but it's default resolution is so big it doesn't fit everything (KDE) on the screen.

Re: [newbie] Release date for 7.2
As a newbie to Linux and a happy user of Mandrake 7.1 I too am waiting eagerly for the new Mandrake. However as a newbie am already concerned about what I would need to do to upgrade to it. Why are you in such a hurry? Just something to think about. Most seasoned Unix users tend to move slowly when it comes to upgrades, not the push and shove to the head of the line that seems to be the case in the Linux world. Why is that? All the horror stories about what you need to do to upgrade a linux kernal strike fear in our newbie hearts. Well, if you do an upgrade to a new distribution of Mandrake you won't have to worry about that at all. If you're going to do a kernal upgrade manually then it helps to have some background in compiling programs. I hope there will be detailed newbie type instructions as what to do to upgrade. Even better news would be that all one needs to do is install the new version over the old one. Here are the instructions to go from 7.0 to 7.1. 1) Make system bootable from a CD. 2) Stick CD in and reboot. 3) Select "upgrade" 4) Read a good Linux book until the process is complete I suspect you can hang onto these instructions Jeff; they'll work from 7.1 to 7.2 as well I'm sure :-) Why don't we just wait for a few more days and . What is "a few days more"? When can we expect it? If they're just starting the process of burning CDs you can bet that it'll be a couple months before new distros are released. Cheers --- Larry ps - I'm as interested as you in 7.2 as I've looked at the beta and it's got some neat stuff in it. Just poking fun a bit, though my comments about constantly upgrading do have merit I think.
Re: [newbie] Release date for 7.2
I'm happily chugging along on MDK7.1. My computers have never run so well on any other OS... :) Shame on you Paul. You must be doing actual work on your computer :-) Like you, I'm pretty happy with 7.1 myself.

Cheers --- Larry ps - thanks for the mention of Opera as you've moved "check out Opera" higher on the "to do" list.

Re: [newbie] HP Jetdirect printing
could i jump in and ask a couple of questions that might help me understand your diagram? i can't help you i'm afraid but i think i might learn something from any future answers to your query, does dhcp mean that the box is being given it's ip address by a dhcp server? (or is being a server - only one needed though right?) in which case which is the dhcp server, the firewall? (is this what is called a router?), is your network printer configured via the network or by physical switches etc.(i.e. how do you assign it an ip?) i hope you don't mind my butting in but i am interested in networking questions bascule Now that you got the picture, the obvious reason for this message is the difficulty of getting the Linux box to sent print jobs to the laser printer. The printer is configured to use gateway 192.168.1.200 though I do not think this is correct. I have tired it with and without a gateway and neither works. One thing I am confused about is what to enter as the remote queue when using printtool. Which by the I can ping, telnet, run the printtool test pages and all works just fine. The only problem I am having is printing from any KDE appications including Netscape. When attempting to print nothing happens, that is to say, there are no errors that pop up and no port actvity for the printer. Any idea what I am doing wrong here? This should be a simple thing to do and yet it has me stumped. This should probably be on the experts list. TIA Dennis Veatch

Re: [newbie] Lilo configuration
Does LILO recognise your Windows 98 installation at all? If so, you can edit the following file: /etc/lilo.conf It may look something similar to: boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 linear default=linux vga=ask image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-3 label=linux initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.16-3.img read-only root=/dev/hda5 other=/dev/hda1 label=dos table=/dev/hda You can change the "dos" label to anything you'd like *without spaces*. For example: label=Win98 Then you need to change the default=linux To: default=Win98 If your /etc/lilo.conf file does not have the "ohter" section, try adding it. When you are done editing the file, save it. At the command line, type: /sbin/lilo [enter] you should see something like. added linux added Win98* The asterisk (*) means it's the deafult OS. --Greg - Original Message - From: "Francisco Javier Rivas Martin" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, there!

Re: [newbie] install hangs with 7.1.
Rod, A couple of thoughts. First, do I assume correctly that PnP aware O/S is disabled in CMOS? About the time I joined newbie (about 6 months ago) there was a discussion of Linux incompatible VIA motherboard chipsets causing problems. I have VIA, but these incompatibilities didn't apply to me, and I only caught the end of the discussion anyway. Might be worth looking it up in the newbie archives. Since you say that Red Hat runs OK I know that this is reaching, but the idea of motherboard chipsets does seem to link with your locking up on PCI probe. I assume install completes with no probing. I agree that the S3 is probably not the cause of this locking; S3 is reputed to be well supported. An install with generic server and 16 colors should be safe for an install trial. Have you tried the text based install? Have you done any overclocking or related optimizations? I was overclocking 15% for over a year and a half with no problems, but began to have Windon't lockups on scandisk. I thought the HDD was getting ready to quit, but the problem was traced to the overclocking. Memory timing optimizations remained stable. -Gary- In a message dated 10/9/2000 9:24:27 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Gary, I bought the package (Linux Mandrake 7.1 complete)from the local software shop and the bios virus is disabled. Since posting this email I have elimated a few things. I had the motherboard with only the video card installed, and as its a PCI s3 it should not be the cause of the problem. The motherboard does use the Via Apollo chipset, and the hang will occurr anytime linux probes the PCI bus. I ran through the expert install, and anytime I answer yes to probling the PCI bus it dies. I tried reseting my motherboard to defaults, still no different. I also tried a 5GB drive which is only udma33, but still the same problem. I also tried another motherboard, a 233MMX and it hangs as well. The only item I havn't changed is the video card, which I will do, but as Red Hat works fine, I don't expect it to be the video.

Re: [newbie] IDE drives
Chris, Sometimes there is a problem with older versions installing on dma66 drives (I recall reading about Promise controller card issues). 7.1 installed and runs on my WesternDigital dma66 drive just fine. WD drives have the ability to switch to dma33 if one should run into problems; I presume other drives do also. Linux hdparm optimizations [see newbie archives for discussion] worked better at the dma33 settings, so even having to stay at the lower drive setting isn't any sacrifice to Linux performance. (Your mileage may vary, of course.) -Gary- In a message dated 10/10/2000 7:33:17 AM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Does anyone know if Linux MDK 7.1 supports Ultra DMA\66 IDE drives?

Re: [newbie] HP Jetdirect printing
Bascule, In his diagram, Dennis indicates that the two workstations are DHCP clients.

Re: [newbie] install hangs with 7.1.
Gary, It didn't seem to matter if I tried a text based install or not, and by doing an expert install and not allowing the PCI to be probed mandrake will install. As you know it often asks to probe or not, at any of these times it will lock up if allowed to probe. I tried another s3 card which failed the same way so whatever it is its not bad hardware. I also tried a p233 MMX gigabyte tx3 motherboard and it locks up too with the s3 video. Perhaps the only usual thing about my s3 is that it is fully populated with memory (4MB) which at the time of buying these cards was fairly unusual. I don't bother to overclock. Its an interesting challenge but the gains are not worth it in my opinion. My main PC (not yet linux) is a dual PIII 733, udma66 and about 60GB of drives and 256MB of memory. Its pretty slick anyhow. Running w2k every application starts up in about 1 second or less. Once a PC has a reasonably fast CPU the main bottleneck is always disk access, but most people seem to go for faster CPU's all the time. Now if I could overclock the disks!! And the PnP was disabled in the bios too. I'll go back and check the archives again, and look for the VIA discussion. Regards,Rod - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2000 8:46 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] install hangs with 7.1. Rod, A couple of thoughts. First, do I assume correctly that PnP aware O/S is disabled in CMOS? About the time I joined newbie (about 6 months ago) there was a discussion of Linux incompatible VIA motherboard chipsets causing problems. I have VIA, but these incompatibilities didn't apply to me, and I only caught the end of the discussion anyway. Might be worth looking it up in the newbie archives. Since you say that Red Hat runs OK I know that this is reaching, but the idea of motherboard chipsets does seem to link with your locking up on PCI probe. I assume install completes with no probing. I agree that the S3 is probably not the cause of this locking; S3 is reputed to be well supported. An install with generic server and 16 colors should be safe for an install trial. Have you tried the text based install? Have you done any overclocking or related optimizations? I was overclocking 15% for over a year and a half with no problems, but began to have Windon't lockups on scandisk. I thought the HDD was getting ready to quit, but the problem was traced to the overclocking. Memory timing optimizations remained stable. -Gary- In a message dated 10/9/2000 9:24:27 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Gary, I bought the package (Linux Mandrake 7.1 complete)from the local software shop and the bios virus is disabled. Since posting this email I have elimated a few things. I had the motherboard with only the video card installed, and as its a PCI s3 it should not be the cause of the problem. The motherboard does use the Via Apollo chipset, and the hang will occurr anytime linux probes the PCI bus. I ran through the expert install, and anytime I answer yes to probling the PCI bus it dies. I tried reseting my motherboard to defaults, still no different. I also tried a 5GB drive which is only udma33, but still the same problem. I also tried another motherboard, a 233MMX and it hangs as well. The only item I havn't changed is the video card, which I will do, but as Red Hat works fine, I don't expect it to be the video.

I´d like to know how to change the conf. of Lilo.

You can change these labels to be whatever you want but the default must match one of them. Now, I can´t use Linux because it doesn´t seem to like my modem I can´t surf internet, I have a 3com U.S. Robotics 56k Faxmodem, maybe is set as a winmodem, I don´t have any idea, it looks just if it didn´t exist.
