[newbie-it] gnome
Ho mandrake 7.1, mi piacerebbe configurare Gnome con un desktop personalizzato con delle icone da me scelte, e far funzionare i suoni. Le icone non cambiano ne da utente, ne da root; i suoni da root funzionano mentre da utente no. Qualcuno sa dirmi come fare ?Ho anche consultato il manuale trovato in un sito di mandrake ma non ho trovato niente. Grazie Caterina

Te lo chiedo perchè io con il Gnome di default non riuscivo a fare quasi niente, era pieno di bug e non funzionava bene, poi ho fatto l' upgrade con la nuova versione 1.2 (Helix) ed è ok, anche se qualche piccolo bug c' è ancora. Per esempio non si possono cambiare le icone del desktop (a volte gmc va in crash) ma è un problema noto e ci stanno lavorando (spero!). Il suono funziona benissimo, posso solo dirti di controllare i permessi sui vari dispositivi audio (dsp, mixer..) Ciao -- __ Sebastiano Cordiano

[newbie] Monitor Powers Down???
This is for the holder of the knowledge that I seek: I have seen many posts about this and I have to say that I am quite curious about this also. Why does my monitor continually power down after inactivity? I am not using apm, bios is disabled, all relevant entries in my XF86Config are commented out. I have even xset -dpms and xset dpms 0 0 0 all with no luck. This was not a problem with my Mandrake 7.1 but it is now with Mandrake 7.2. I was using KDE in 7.1 and now use gnome with 7.2. I have checked all configuration in my gnome control center with no availe also. All help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. I am sure that someone holds the knowledge that I...and others are seeking. Kelly

[newbie] Security Question and SCSI Tape Utilities
Hi All, As I'm sure you all know I'm fairly new to Linux and I have a couple of simple questions. First - I've installed Mandrake 7.1 on a compaq ML370 using the high security option. The only thing I cannot do is telnet to the server from a different machine and log in as root, it establishes connection, but I cannot log in as root. I've checked /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny and they allow everything in (otherwise I could not connect...), and I've looked at the files in /etc/security and they seem to be fine. All of the lines in /etc/security/access.conf are commented out, so I assume that root should be allowed to telnet in. I must be missing something very basic! Second - the above server is used as a device server for a tape drive for our backup system, but when I installed Mandrake 7.1 the SCSI tape utilities (mt, stinint...) were not installed and nor were the man pages. Does anybody know what rpm they're in? Thanks in advance! Alan

Dear All, I have been reading about the Mandrake 7.2 distro and I am getting very interested in downloading it or upgrading to it. I have Mandrake 7.0 complete that I purchased from Office Depot about 5 months ago. I am such a newbie (or was) :) that it took me so long to get things to work right. With the help of some wonderful souls on this helpgroup I was finally able to get on the internet with my ethernet SMC EZ ISA card that was plug and play . If I decide to install or upgrade to 7.2 will that mess up everything or some things that I have working finally? Will my ethernet cable modem continue to work properly? It took me 4 months to figure out how to make it work. What is better , fresh install or upgrade? I read that the fresh install was fast however the upgrade was taking 5 hours or more. Any suggestions? Thank you for your help. Marcia

Still getting to grips with Linux , but just one answer please if possible. In view of info on setting up new PC , am I correct in thinking that to fit multiple drives this has to be achieved by SCSI device? Sorry to bug you but I really don't know the answer and am too inexperienced to know where to go just yet! Regards -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can set up 4 IDE devices on a normal motherboard. Some special ones even appear to have 4 interfaces making a total of 8 devices. SCSI will allow for 7 devices, with certain controllers upto 15 devices in a chain. Paul Those boards with 4 interfaces are RAID boards. ABit makes one for the athlon/thunderbird (KT7-RAID, I think)You can really only use the normal 2 interfaces for up to 4 drives. The other 2 interfaces are used to mirror the first 2. If you're looking for general storage ability, and don't really need speed on the extra drives, I would suggest IEEE1394 (or FireWire as it's more commonly called). I believe you can daisychain up to 63 devices to a single port, and it's much faster than USB (50MB/sec.)!! Now the only question is if it's supported under mdk7.2.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2
Mandrake 7.0 complete that I purchased from Office Depot about 5 months ago. I am such a newbie (or was) :) that it took me so long to get things to work right. With the help of some wonderful souls on this You talk as thought you're the only one Marcia? I guess the rest of us are just too unwilling to admit it :-) If I decide to install or upgrade to 7.2 will that mess up everything or some things that I have working finally? Will my ethernet cable modem continue to work properly? I don't think the transition from 7.0-7.2 will be as smooth as you might like but it need not be a horrible process either. I don't think anyone can answer whether your ethernet card is going to continue to function but what I can say is that if you know how to make it work under 7.0 you should be able to get it to work with 7.2 and there's a chance that 7.2 may set it up automatically for you. Having said that, I wouldn't recommend doing an "upgrade." Rather, save all your configuration files (with any luck you've actually got them on a separate /home partition. THEN, do a clean install of 7.2. What you'll probably find is that many of the software installations and upgrades that you've done are already part of 7.2 so you won't have to do anything after the installation to get those functional. It took me 4 months to figure out how to make it work. What is better , fresh install or upgrade? I read that the Fresh install...and don't confuse how long it took to figure stuff out with how long it will take to replicate it. You do maintain a change log don't you? Some sort of book where you write down stuff you've done and how you did it? Armed with that, it should take only a few minutes to get your ethernet card functioning again if 7.2's automatic setup of such things. In my case, for instance, with 7.0 and 7.1 I needed to download and install rp-pppoe for my DSL. With 7.2, that software is included and I could enter account names and IP addresses during the installation. One odd thing is that I've done this twice and one time the 7.2 install decided that my ethernet card was eth1 (it's eth0) and the second time everything set up properly. In both cases, however, it didn't take long as I already knew what needed to happen. fresh install was fast however the upgrade was taking 5 hours or more. Any suggestions? Thank you for your help. Marcia If you start out with all your personal config files and notes on what changes you've had to make in the past it shouldn't take you much time beyond the time of a fresh install, which means it's a lot faster doing it that way than to do the upgrade which would be a hope and a prayer in my view going from 7-7.2 because so much stuff has changed.

Re: [newbie] 2.4 and ipchains
Jon, To my knowledge you can't compile 2.4 with ipchains support. I've tried a few times and stopped trying. This kernel employs a new type of filtering called "iptables" instead of ipchains.

(other more pressing problems at the moment) There does seem to be quite a bit of documentation on the net about iptables though. -- Mark Larry is NOT a cucumber...he's a stinkin pickle...

I am a real beginner with command lines, so any really simple tips about how to find applications when you can't get to the "find" utility (for example, Kappfinder) or Application Starter to "Find Files" would be very helpful.

Re: [newbie] LILO hangs at LI
If I remember correctly this is a symptom of LILO when you're beyond the 1024 cylinder limitation on your HDD. Try setting the system up with a small /boot partition when you install Linux. 15MB is plenty big enough. See if that helps. -- Mark Larry is NOT a cucumber...he's a stinkin pickle...

I read the manual and found that this indicates an error condition at a certain point, but the suggestions about what to do about it went right over my head. Any suggestions what I could try in concrete terms? Peter Henningsen

Those boards with 4 interfaces are RAID boards. ABit makes one for the athlon/thunderbird (KT7-RAID, I think)You can really only use the normal 2 interfaces for up to 4 drives. The other 2 interfaces are used to mirror the first 2. no... they are ATA100 controllers.. i just built one yesterday. they're like onboard SCSI host controllers but with IDE 80 pin connectors and you can use them however you like as i understand.. the ATA100 controller sure didn't mind the 66 drive i put on it.. -x. So are you saying that the new ATA100 cables have to plug into 2 seperate interfaces? I have not seen one of the new drives or cables for them. I looked at Abit's KA7-100 spec.sheet, but it wasn't very insightful as to what those extra slots were for. Just assumed they were like the KT7-RAID. Guess that's what I get for assuming. :) And I thought I got over assuming things after I assumed Micro$oft would fix their software!! Hehe

you can use as many IDE drives in your box as you have ports for on your mobo. -- Mark Larry is NOT a cucumber...he's a stinkin pickle...

Re: [newbie] Messed up my mouse
Scott, At the LILO prompt type linux 3. This will boot the system to runlevel 3 and drop you at a console login. Login as root and at the command prompt type "setuptool". This will allow you to reconfigure your mouse. -- Mark Larry is NOT a cucumber...he's a stinkin pickle...

[newbie] ML7.2 and Printer + ML7.2 and GeForce
Hi... I have two problems with my Mandrake 7.2 system 1. I've selected the XFree4.0.1 packages during the installation process. My card has been identified as "GeForce 256 (generic) GeForce 256 DDR PCI" (according to HardDrake) But now it seems to me that XFree3.3.6 is running. So I don't get hardware acceleration for my GeForce256 (DDR) which is an APG card. I've installed the NVIDIA-Drivers from the NVIDIA homepage. In the documentation it says: "To use the new 2D module, simply modify the Device section of the XF86Config file and replace: Driver "nv" with Driver "nvidia" But I can't find that "nv" line in my XF86Config. On linuxnewbie.org I found an article about installing X4.0.1 and the NVIDIA drivers from scratch. Do I have to do this cause there's something wrong with the Mandrake 7.2 X4.0.1 packages? 2. I can't use my printer with Mandrake 7.2 lp says: "error - no default destination available." I tried to reconfigure with the Mandrake tools (PrinterDrake) but after the message "Reading the CUPS driver database" nothing else happens. The printer icon on the desktop says:" Unable to connect to CUPS server, check options." cupsd and lpd are loaded (cupds in even show twice after typing "ps -A"). The testpage during the installation process has been printed correctly (although blue looks like mauve). HardDrake displays this: Manufacturer: HEWLETT-PACKARD Model: DESKJET 890C Device: /dev/lp0 Bus-Type: Parallel Someone told me to start a browser and type in 'http://localhost:631' to reconfigure the printer settings but this produces an error message: "ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved" I'm really unexperienced with Linux so if you have an idea try to explain in easy words. Thanx and sorry for that long eMail
Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2
Everything should go smoothly, and nothing will get messed up, if i am correct, and your internet service should still work, its just like upgrading windows, it dont overwrite your current stuff, but jus upgrades thing to newer stuff without messing up the originals Brad
[newbie] CUPS and the HP Deskjet Portable
I've been running my HP Deskjet Portable on several distros from four different companies. It's always worked well with the HP Deskjet Portable, or HP Deskjet 500 drivers. It won't work with any of the CUPS HP 500 series drivers and I've tried most of their other HP drivers, also with notable lack of success. Can I kill CUPS (and jump on it) and go back to something that's worked for 4 years, or is there a better way? Thanks in anticipation... ...Bob.
