Re: [newbie-it] modifica grub
Certo che è possibile, ma mi sembra di capire che sei anche tu un "newbie" come il sottoscritto, che ha perso parecchio tempo prima di scoprire che per modificare il file in oggetto (che si trova in boot/grub/menu.lst), devi aprirlo con un qualsiasi editor di testo, magari quello che si trova nel pannello di KDE, quindi modificare la voce default cambiando il numero che trovi (probabilmente uno zero) con il numero 1. Fatto questo salvi il tutto, poi non ti resta altro da fare che riavviare il pc. timeout 5 color black/cyan yellow/cyan i18n (hd0,0)/boot/grub/messages keytable (hd0,0)/boot/it-latin1.klt default 1 title linux kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 idebus=66 mem=192m title windows root (hd1,0) map (0x81) (0x80) map (0x80) (0x81) makeactive chainloader +1 title floppy root (fd0) chainloader +1 - Original Message - From: "loris gava" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 30, 2000 9:12 AM Subject: [newbie-it] modifica grub E' possibile modificare grub in modo da partire con win come opzione di default?

Re: [newbie] Java Install for Star Office 5.2
Dear Barry and friends: You advised me to create a javarc file. Please provide step-by-step instructions for the whole process of installing JDK for SO52, precisely what directory to install it in (/usr pr soffice/user?), etc. and how to create the javarc file, which does not exist in my /soffice52 directory. Please be precise, beginning with the downloading of the correct file and ending with actual installation and SO's recognition of its JDK. This will help us newbies immensely. Don't skip any steps. Instead, please retrace your steps carefully and note them down. Right now I may be within a step or two of getting Java for SO52 but until Java is actually working in SO52, it is of no use to me and others. Please think of the other guy. Make sure a newbie can follow your instructions to ultimate success. Otherwise, this becomes an exercise in (terrible) frustration. Thanks so much for your efforts.

Re: [newbie] netzero
According to the message board, the process for "dunning" NetZero is as follows: (Please keep in mind I haven't tried this--I have no need--I'm only repeating what I've found in the past) DUNNING NetXero ### Many inquiries regarding this issue have arisen. I will summarize the prior threads for those of you who want a quick, no-BS solution: 1. Create an account at the netzero website (http://www.netzero.net). You do NOT need to download their software. 2. Download the MS-DOS program NZPE from here, http://www5.50megs.com/fnc/nzpe.zip You will need nzpe to determine your encrypted password. 3. Let's say my username is jellybeans and my password is openup. The encrypted username you would use in DUN (for Windows) or ppp (in Linux) would be like this: 3.0.4:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (just add the 3.0.4: before your username, and add the @netzero.net after your username; the 3.0.4 represents the latest version of the Netzero software - you will have to update this as the software versions get updated; just visit their website to determine what the latest version is) For the password, openup, run nzpe to determine what the encrypted form will be. The encrypted form always begins with a 0 and ends with a 1. So for openup, I start nzpe in MS-DOS, enter openup as my password and the encrypted for shows up as this: 0\\;[;1 Now you have both the encrypted username and the encrypted password. Now you can connect to Netzero without their software! Just use the encrypted username and encrypted password in ppp for Linux or if you are a Windows user, Dial Up Networking (DUN). - - Original Message - From: "A V Flinsch" [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sun, 29 Oct 2000, you wrote: someone told me they think a friend of thiers was using netzero with linux is this possible and iff so how can i configure it, hopefully it is as easy as 123 with kppp. first the bad news - netzero requires the netzero application to connect.

Re: [newbie] Can't Connect To Internet
Thanks Doug. AOL doesn't do much for me either but I was hoping to at least get internet access using it for the time being. I've tried to find something about AOL for Linux and couldn't.

[newbie] Does anyone know how to set up a HP Deskjet 722C to work with Linux Mandrake 7.1?
Hi, I've got a PII, 350MHz, with 64MB RAM, and I was trying to get my printer - a HP DeskJet 722C to work with Linux Mandrake 7.1. When I was using the original setup program (when I was installing Linux on my system), none of the settings I tried worked (I basically tried all the different HP printer drivers to see if I could get one to work). And, when I could get output, everything was overlapping and out of place. I've tried several times to log in under root, and use the printer configuration under DrakConfig, but now I can't get the printer to print out a test page! I was wondering if that might be because there were jobs in the print queue that couldn't print, blocking even a text only job from working. But, I couldn't find out how to access the print queue. So, has anyone ever set up an HP722C printer before? I didn't see and HP 7xx drivers in the printer setup box, and I didn't see any messages about it in the archives, so I assume it can't be a common problem - or I'm searching under the wrong term. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you! -Dan

For months ive ran redhat 6 with no probs, but when i installed mandrake 7.2 it seems to take forever to boot up and once you get into kde it is slow, this only happens after i reboot as the initial boot works fine.. also it doesnt seem to hold my configuration for my dsl.. any ideas as to why it suddenly slows to a crawl after a simple reboot..

Re: [newbie] sendmail question
To enable POP3, install the IMAP package on the Madrake install CD using rpmdrake. After installing, try telneting into your box on port 110. i.e. telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 110 You should see a message like: '+OK POP3 machinename Vx.x server ready'. If you don't see that, make sure the line for POP3 is uncommented in your inetd.conf file in your /etc directory. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 30, 2000 10:22 AM Subject: [newbie] sendmail question Does sendmail support POP3.

sendmail is suppoed to support pop and stmp so does postfix postfix is what comes with the current linuxmandrake it is compatible with sendmail commands. Both sendmail and postfix come with LM, though you're right that postfix is loaded by default. Cheers --- Larry

I also have a unit outside the network that I wish to get my email from at work. I wish to configure it to use the POP3 protical. I am having no luck at all finding any reference to POP at all (only SMTP). Any help would be great. The short answer is that no, sendmail doesn't do POP3 (or if it does, it's much more trouble than its worth to configure it.) Take a look at the "fetchmail" package (start with "man fetchmail" from a command prompt). It's easy to set up and works well. Now for the long answer. Unix purists, please disregard the occasional handwaving - I'm trying to keep this thing readable, and, frankly, sendmail's complex enough that I don't claim to really understand it. Sendmail handles mail delivery. It evolved in a world where computers were mostly always connected to the Internet, and where each computer had its own IP address. It actually has three functions. First, let's say you want to send some mail. Your e-mail agent (pine, kmail, Netscape Messenger, or whatever other one you choose) will accept a bunch of text from you and properly format it as a mail message. Then it has to do something to get that mail message to wherever it's going. What it does is to give that message to sendmail, which puts it into a mail queue, a waiting list of messages that are going to the outside world. If you're running on a computer that's always connected to the Internet, and that has a static IP address, then the "sendmail" process that those programs give the mail to is probably running locally on your machine. Otherwise, if you're connected through a PPP session or have a machine that's gotten its IP address through DHCP, then those programs probably give your mail to an "SMTP server", which is a separate machine running sendmail (or an equivalent program). So, that's sendmail's first function: it gets messages from user programs and puts them into a mail queue. The mail message sits in a mail queue for a while. Then, periodically, sendmail wakes up and tries to deliver all the messages in the queue. It looks at each message in turn, sees where it's going, and contacts the sendmail program running on that target machine. Remember when I said it evolved in a world where most machines were connected most of the time? If that target machine isn't there, sendmail can't do its job and usually bounces a message back to the sender complaining about that fact. That's why people with dynamic IP addresses use a different machine, with a static IP address, to receive their mail. So, sendmail's second function is to deliver the messages in the mail queue. Finally, when sendmail on the destination machine receives a message, it has to do something with it. What it does is "local delivery". It figures out which user is supposed to get the message and puts it in a "mail spool" (what many mail clients would call your "INBOX"), which is nothing more than a file or directory on the machine where the mail waits until the next time the user reads it. So, sendmail's third function is "local delivery" on the target machine. There's another time sendmail can do "local delivery". Let's say you're sending an e-mail message to another user who's on your same machine, which is less common now but was quite common in the days when the only computers powerful enough to run Unix were large, multi-user systems. In that case, there's no sense in sending the message across the Internet since it'll just come right back to the machine that sent it. So, sendmail is a little smarter about it: if you're sending mail to another user on your own machine, sendmail immediately switches to "local delivery" and puts it in the proper place. Now, sendmail only knows how to receive a message from another sendmail process (the second function) or from a program (like a mail delivery system). It doesn't know how to receive POP messages. (Why? Because the philosophy is different. When sendmail receives, it expects someone else to actively wake it up and give it a message. POP requires a program to actively go out and pester someone else and collect the messages. Fitting POP onto sendmail would be nasty and difficult.) Since most people these days connect through a dial-up account, sendmail is a poor fit for their machines, because it's not connected all the time. So most ISPs provide a POP server, which is a machine running sendmail (to get connections from other sendmail machines) that provides its users access to the mail spool on the POP machine using the POP protocol. That's where fetchmail comes in. Fetchmail runs periodically on your local machine and knows how to do POP. It starts up, talks to a POP server where your mail resides, collects the message, and then gives them to sendmail

I don't know whether you use fetchmail (or something similiar) and read mail
locally or always connect to your ISP's mailserver when reading mail. In the
first case, read the fetchmail-FAQ distributed with the program. If you don't
have a permanent internet connection (like ADSL/SDSL), but connect temporarily
through dial-up PPP or SLIP, this is probably the best solution.
I use mutt with the following in my .muttrc:
set spoolfile = {my.mailserver}INBOX
set folder = {my.mailserver}
set imap_user = username
set imap_pass = password
This allows me to access my mailserver using IMAP. When I send mail from my
local machine, my return address becomes [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more
information, read the FAQ at http://www.mutt.org and the mutt documentaion.
I don't know how to configure pine in this way (I don't use it).
The legacy BSD mail program can only be used to read local mail and I would not
really recommended using it. I don't know about emacs mail capabilities, but as
it's primarily a text editor, not a MUA, I guess you'd be better off with pine,
mutt or Netscape Messenger.
Hope it helps you.

It's kind of a clunky solution, but it would get you running until some time later when you wanted to take the time to dive into installing fetchmail. - Jeff

Hello All, I am having some problems with sound in linux mandrake 7.1. I am running an Athlon 600 with 256 meg of ram. Soundcard is Creative SB Live! PCI and network card is Netgear FA310TX. Linux is on its own seperate hd from windows. When I run sounddrake (as root of course) it finds my sound card fine. When I hit 'test' I hear Linus's voice fine, but if I click on 'ok' I get: sox: Can't open output file '/dev/dsp' No such device- Only clicking 'exit' lets me out. I have checked the permissions in /dev/dsp* and /dev/audio* and /dev/adsp* among others and they are all set rwx for user group and other (unless you are in 1-x instead of * if you know what I mean). When I try to open the files with KFM I get: could not read /dev/audio (including * and 1,2,3, etc.) File does not exist or access denied. Same for /dev/dsp* and /dev/adsp* etc. etc. Even though I can see the listing in KFM. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the aumix rpm from the cd and from the web, and no change. When I click on the mixer icon I get: kmix: could not open mixer. Perhaps you have no permission to access the mixer device. Log in as root and do a 'chmod a+rw /dev/mixer*' to allow the access. which I did to no avail. I know I haven't tried everything because there is still no sound.

The distribution determined the correct ethernet card type, asked for an IP, the gateway IP, primary DNS, and the netmask. I gave it correct values (verified by a coworker whose home machine setup is similar). Nothing happens when I try to get outside the box. I have tried pinging the gateway IP, as well as telnetting out to known addresses for my ISP. The little yellow lights on the DSL doohickey don't flash under any circumstance, although the green lights all do. I have tried swapping the card with one in my Win95 machine, and both cards work under Win95, but neither works under 7.1 Any ideas? At this point I am assuming it is a driver problem. Is the 3C905 driver known to work under 7.1? I remember that Caldera didn't support this card in one of their releases about six months ago. Thanks, Michael __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

The distribution determined the correct ethernet card type, asked for an IP, the gateway IP, primary DNS, and the netmask. I gave it correct values (verified by a coworker whose home machine setup is similar). Nothing happens when I try to get outside the box. I have tried pinging the gateway IP, as well as telnetting out to known addresses for my ISP. The little yellow lights on the DSL doohickey don't flash under any circumstance, although the green lights all do. I have tried swapping the card with one in my Win95 machine, and both cards work under Win95, but neither works under 7.1 Any ideas? At this point I am assuming it is a driver problem. Is the 3C905 driver known to work under 7.1? I remember that Caldera didn't support this card in one of their releases about six months ago. Thanks, Michael __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Any ideas? At this point I am assuming it is a driver problem. Is the 3C905 driver known to work under 7.1? I remember that Caldera didn't support this card in one of their releases about six months ago. Are you running adsl? It's one thing to have an ethernet connection and quite another to make your DSL modem go. The easiest thing to do is to download the DSL package from roaringpenguin.com. This is included in 7.2. Anyways, all you do is expand the rpm, run adsl-setup, enter simple stuff like your DNS, user name, password, etc. Then you have to run adsl-start and you should see the rest of those lights flicker as the modem makes the connections. This takes all of 5 minutes to set up. Cheers --- Larry

[newbie] Mouse Wheel Sensitivity
How do you adjust how many lines a program moves down when you move the mouse wheel? In 7.1, it moved down about one or two lines at a time per "wheel click". Now in 7.2, it moves down a whole page; and it's driving me insane. It ignores my requests in Mozilla for only 2 lines even though it's in the options, and in some of the other programs I use (such as XMMS), there isn't even an option of how far down to move per "mouse click". The system default seems to be one page, but surely there is a way to change that...right? -- Anthony http://binaryfusion.net Press any key to continue, or any other key to quit.
