Re: [newbie-it] configurazione del modem che non parte.
Salve mi chiamo Enrico Guidolin, scrivo da Castelfranco Veneto, avevo già scritto ieri, e ho il problema del modem che non parte scusate l'ignoranza ma mi sono avvicinato da poco nel mondo dell'informatica e da circa 3-4 giorni a Linux. Versione Linux: 7.1 Distribuzione: Mandrake Computer assemblato dotato di (spero di elencare tutto l'hardware): Pentium III 600 Mhz - Scheda madre Commate mod. P3/370A-VP vers.

Nessuna stampante Nessun scanner Uscita USB libera Questa mail è stata scritta con Outlook express 5.00, perchè ho il Dual Boot con Win98 ripartito al 50% con Linux. E se ho il modem che non si connette non posso usare Linux. Problema: Ho seguito le istruzioni di Kppp sulla guida all'installazione e utilizzazione, e ho messo tutte le informazioni rischieste come da libretto. ho provato a connettere e mi viene fuori la scritta: Errore, Kppp non trova /dev/modem. Assicuratevi di avere configurato esattamente il Vs. modem ed eventualmente aggiustate il campo del modem nella finestra setup. Sono andato nel setup del modem e ho provato tutti i modem disponibili.

[newbie-it] installazione stampante samsung
Ho acquistato una stampante laser Samsung ML 4500 incoraggiato dal fatto
che risultasse compatibile, tramite un driver apposito fornito con
l'apparecchio, con Linux.
Nonostante abbia seguito le istruzioni allegate non c' verso
di farla
funzionare, mentre naturalmente sotto Win va che una meraviglia.
Dato che sono un neofita nel vero senso della parola c' qualcuno
che,
esaminando lo script che riporto qui sotto, sa dirmi se ho speranze
di
usare la stampante anche sotto Linux?
#! /bin/sh
#
# for SAMSUNG Printer ML-4500
if [ -f /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/printerdb.gdi ]; then
echo already installed!!
else
echo add SAMSUNG Printer!!
cp /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/printerdb
/usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/printerdb.old
cat /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/printerdb.old

cat ssprt.db >> /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/printerdb
cp /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/printerdb
/usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/printerdb.gdi
fi
Questo invece lo script che dovrebbe inserire nel database
delle
stampanti il modello in mio possesso. Inutile dire che invece non ce
n'
traccia nell'elenco che compare usando il tool di configurazione.

Se provo a ripetere la procedura di installazione mi viene

Salve a tutti, ebbene si, lo ammetto, sto diventando scemo. Ho scaricato l'RPM di kvirc 2.0.0 Chad (da Tucows) , ho installato l'rpm senza problemi ed ora come caspita si fa a lanciare quel benedetto programma? Ho provato con tutti gli script in /usr/bin installati dal package; niente. Gli altri file sono solo librerie ed icone. Ha messo un link in /usr/share/applnk/internet/ : kvirk.desktop, che non fa assolutamente nulla (c'è il collegamento dal menù): insomma, che devo fare per poter usare questo benedetto kvirk?

RE: [newbie] dup/bad blocks-won't boot
Hello linux newbies; Yesterday I download the final release of Mandrake 7.2 and this morning I create the CD from the iso image (CDRwin works fine with iso images) and I installed this versions as new installation on a disc with the 7.2rc version. The problems that I had with the Beta version about KDE system sounds and read CD-ROM in my Yamaha CDRW desapears, but still my Vodoo3 3000 is not recongnized as a acelerated 3d video card. Everything is working OK but I can't play games that need the aceleration. Mandrake tutorials says that in the expert installation you are questioned about the 3dfx aceleration, but in the recommended installation that I used there is not questions about this subject and my video-card is well recognized (Voodoo3 3000) but no mention about 3dfx; in fact, when I try to run a game that need aceleration the images apear so slowly. How can I install the 3dfx aceleration of my Voodoo3? Thanks in advance for your help, yours sincerely Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain)

RE: [newbie] supermount-- I am unable to mount cdrom and floppy
I have the same problem and fortunately I discovered the solution in the mandrake page; it is a bug of kudzu; you must run linux as root, see the name of your problematic cdrom under linux (probably cdrom or cdrom2) and then type the next order (I suppose that the name of your cd driver under linux is cdrom, if not change for the correct one, ins. cdrom2, cdrom3..) cd /dev rm cdrom ln -s scd0 rom To the question that the linux gives you say yes...

Also when using the make boot floppy GUI tool the floppy will in fact work fine, but on my own it will not. BIG NOTE HERE:I am having also Identical problem with the floppy, it too also has icon with lock on it. Now this the problem that I am having. As a result the rpmdrake cannot find the cdrom.. Thus I am unable to install rpm, and I am unable to look at any cd or floppy, and it is getting more urgent to be able to do this.. MY assumption is that this problem has something to do with "supermount". ANY HELP, THANKS...
[newbie] 7.1 install - how to select individual packages?
I'm trying to reinstall 7.1 . When I check the "select individual packages" toggle on the screen that allows me to select broad groups of pacakges for installation, it takes me to a screen that lets me select a "percentage" of packages, sorted by someone else's idea of "importance". After that, it goes to a screen with a treelist of all the individual package, but there doesn't seem to be any way to actually select/delete packages from the list to install. Double-clicking, hitting the delete key, and so on do nothing to select/desel. I have tried this in both custom and "expert" installation mode, and both come up the same. Is this a bug, or am I simply misunderstanding how to delete packages from the installation list? Thanks, Michael __ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products.

[newbie] Help with Sound, Network and LILO issues!
Hi, I have a Vortex2 sound card, and my hardware config (under Mandrake 7.1) will pick it up, but it doesnt install it as a sound card or install any drivers for it... So, I searched the net, and found that I needed some Aureal Drivers, so I downloaded them, and it tells you to unpack them, and then run the "make install" command from that directory in the command line... If I am root or ANY user I cannot do this, I get invalid command? HELP? I also have a network here. A server has the dialup, and it is running SyGate 3.11 (A NAT GateWay app...) and I can connect and use this by having a gateway in Windows, but as soon as I try to use it under Linux... PROBLEM, NetScape wont find any pages at all... I can ping addresses on my network (I am 13.217.184.104 and the server PC is 13.217.184.101) but running it using the gateway screws up!?I can connect using Proxy+ (in NetScape's options...) but I dont wanna use a Proxy! Also, I wanted to add a little time to the bootloader, so I went to the DrakConf thing, and went to bootloaders, but it had nothing to add time to it... and now LILO starts as the bootloader! I want the deafualt Mandrake 7.1 loader (sorry, I cant remember what it was called... GNURUB or somthing...) If you can help then cool... Thanks...

[newbie] Apache/FTP question?
Basically the problem is whenI go to a subdirectory on my website(through a browser) unless I put a / on the end it will not load and say page cannot be found, how can I fix this? Also I am having a problem with anonymous FTP. I have the latest version of wu-ftpd installed, ls is in ~ftp/bin and all the other files are in their appropriate directories. Anonymous root is set to ~ftp/pub which is where I get transported to when I connect, but it does not list the directories or files within those directories, I can switch to them if I specify them directly, but it just wont list them! With real users it just takes them to their respective home directories and everything is fine... Please some help me with this, I don't know what to try next...

Thanks Well glide2 doesnt work under xfree4.01 instead it uses glide3 DRI and running unrealtournament for example will work only if you install the latest 3dfx drivers but see if you can run tuxracer or quake3 demo if it works you have a funktioning dri . Glide wont work as i said. So glide apps such as UT you will need to tell to use opengl instead. At install UT asks you which driver to use but if you need to change it after install make sure your /ut/sytem/unrealtournament.ini has these settings: [Engine.Engine] GameRenderDevice=SDLGLDrv.SDLGLRenderDevice WindowedRenderDevice=SDLGLDrv.SDLGLRenderDevice RenderDevice=SDLGLDrv.SDLGLRenderDevice but as i sayd UT requires latest 3dfx drivers. i paste now a message from the 3dfx.glide newsgroup that helped me to get ut running it describes a voodoo4 install but itll work for a voodoo 3 you only need the apropriate packages. original message from Bill Teeple: http://linux.3dfx.com/open_source/download/voodoo5_dri.htm I downloaded all the binaries: tdfx_dri-4.0.1-1.i386.rpm tdfx_drm-1.0-3.src.rpm Glide_V5-3.10-2.i386.rpm first I installed the Glide like the directions say too... but I kept getting CONFLICTS WITH EXISTING... blah blah blah - so I did rpm -i Glide_V5*.* --force and it took. Then I installed the tdfx_dri-4.0.1-1.i386.rpm driver but the online instructions say to do a rpm -Uvh (which is an upgrade) but I had none of that - I decided to use the same method as the Glide above (rpm -i tdfx_dri-4*.rpm --force) (again-you will need the FORCE portion because it thinks you already have the correct driver). Now pay close attention to the DRI installation above - You will get at least two errors dealing with /usr/X11R6/lib/libMesaGLU.so.3 and /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.3 (You should be able to ignore these, but just in case, I believe these are symlinks to libGLU.so.1.2.0 Then you have to rebuild the DRM tdfx driver... so follow the online instructions for this one and when you are finished install the RPM with the -i --force options (pay attention - the default destination after you rebuild on Mandrake is not what 3dfx tells you it is - NOT /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/tdfx_drm-1.0-3.i386.rpm but /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i686/tdfx_drm-1.0-3.i386.rpm) Last but not least... the instructions on the site tell you to edit the XF86Config file in the /etc/X11 directory... but if everything goes as planned, there is a file there with most of the settings you need -- /etc/X11/XF86Config.dri.ex and you can open this up in a text editor and either copy over the parts that are different from your current XF86Config file, or just overwrite your existing XF86Config file...

Re: [newbie] linux
It was Nov 11, 2000, 11:36, when eagleice keyboarded: Observe though that most of us on the lists are enthusiastic Linux users, hackers, some/many testing several different distributions, and/or computer professionals in one way or another. And note that; there are very many happy Linux users out there who are 'not' participating in these lists because everything is probably running to their great satisfaction...;-) - I regret to say that receiving the newbie list has been the most - upsetting experiance. - it suggests that no one ever gets linux to work! Biggest problem here, I think, is that most pc's are equipped with hardware that is very cutting-edge new. Linux is always a bit behind on developing drivers. Another thing is that many windows users get fed up with windows (hear hear) and want to switch. But linux is a much different way of using the computer. Windows setup takes one by the hand as if one is a blabbering idiot. linux setup requires some knowledge of the system. Requires preparation, and that you read things so you know what you are working with. I am running Linux since december last year 100% and I love it. I am using it since many years, but made the transition from Windoze. And there is no way back for me. Yes, the upgrade on the second pc gives me a problem. But I do not sit and whine, I am looking for a way to get it fixed. And glad that I have this list for help, and I do not have to deliver my soul to MS-support.

On Saturday 11 November 2000 08:53 am, john wrote: This is going to sound strange, but it worked. It seems that some cards w/acceleration dont all that much care for linux. Not strange, mostly just damn unfortunate. No.1 reason that some hardware won't work or work well with Linux is that the manufacturer refuses to release open source drivers. So while the hardware might be the some of the best available, it's operation with Linux is questionable. Without the source for the driver (eg, Nvidia's drivers), Linux developers don't know if even a minor code change in the kernel for example, will render closed source binary only drivers useless to sort'a broken. Linux, any distro, doesn't like cheap low end hardware designed for windoze, and at the same time, doesn't like some of the highest quality hardware for the open source reason I gave above. It's unfortunate that some manufacturers don't support Linux. Those that release binary only drivers, without the source actually are worse, IMO, than those who refuse any Linux support at all.

[newbie] Small problem
Hi everyone, Perhaps it will take a while before I am back online. I upgraded mdk7.1 to mdk7.2. After the reboot to load things again, all harddisk partitions were gone.

I am not a happy camper, at the moment. Imagine this: I can't restore my tape backup either. Tape gives an I/O error... Paul

[newbie] Tape backup questions
I have several questions concerning tape backups. My tape drive is as /dev/ht0 1) How does one query a tape to see what tar archives, if any, exist on it? 2) Is there a gui interface for tar that works in kde 2 (Mandrake 7.2) 3) I read that it is advisable (error recovery) to use cpio rather than tar for tape backups. Is that true? 4) Is there a gui interface for using cpio under kde 2 (Mandrake 7.2) Thank you. Jeff Malka [EMAIL PROTECTED] Registered Linux user 183185

Yes I have been to that very exact page at mandrake demos, and typed in exactly what it said to do here http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/Tutorial/CDburner/pages/ However that has not solved my problem with accessing the drives, I have the problem with both the cdrom and the floppy drive. It has something to do with the "supermount" feature/ hmm, should i say bug. I am really getting tired, I have received many replies to my many posts about this at different sites. I have tried most everyone of the possible fixes. It is to no avail. and if you are wondering if my cdrom is detected by linux? Yes, it is listed properly in the system info. And then the question, why am I having the same problem with the floppy?? ONLY thing that correlates is that both cdrom and floppy have "supermount" listed on them in the fstab file.

[newbie] Mandrake Update
Help, this is getting very frustrating. Bought the Walmart 7.2, Mandrake Update worked. Upgraded to newer version of the updater, updated grpmi, and can't get any updates. The updater goes through the routine, flashes, and then updates the information for all the stuff I can't get. Strange--but it gets worse. Got the download version from a friend, installed, and got the exact same routine as above. Uninstalled the updater, reinstalled the Walmart version, and got one updated package listed-yes, folks, the one for the Mandrake Update, with a message saying I would need this version for all further updates, along with the latest grpmi package. Did both as suggested, and now we're back to the invisible packages again, along with their updated information. The development updates list just fine.

Re: [newbie] Do you have Linux installed on separate partition or drive?
Use the bootloader that comes with Mandrake, GRUB it think it's called. I've tried several bootloaders in my time ranging from, by hand (a real pain to boot a system by hand believe me, flip switches then press buttons, repeat for about fifteen minuets), punch card with HASP, tape, BOOT (IBM 360), Boot Magic, System Commander, LILO and several others you probably haven't heard of. GRUB comes out as the best of the bunch. Now for booting Linux from Windows, go with loadlin. I run the Promise Ultra ATA 66 card. My hard drives are on the tertiary controller. The primary and secondary controllers are on the normal motherboard (mine is max ATA 2), tertiary and quartinary controllers are currently on add-in boards. I have no drives on my primary controller, a CD burner on my secondary controller and a Western Digital 205AA (20GB ATA 4) drive as master with a Western Digital AC32200L (3GB ATA 2) as slave on my tertiary controller, the quartinary controller is empty currently. The 205AA has my Windoze, RH and Mandrake partitions with one open partition and one swap partition, the WD32200L has my three swap partitions; two are used by RH and ML, one is unused, and an small (2.5 GB) open partition on it. So far everything except RH works fine and I'm just taking a break from fixing the RH install now. Now, with NT, I do believe you'll have to use the NT boot program or NT has a hissy fit and decides it won't work. Typical of products from a company owned by someone who has a hissy fit when he can't have his own way. 8=) Or when he can't buy his own way. I don't know about most people, but I have three versions of Linux. I have Red Hat 7.0 and Mandrake 7.2 in what I call the mutable versions. Both these boot up with GRUB just fine from my hard disk and each is in it's own partition on a hard disk that it shares with Windoze. Then I have Demolinux which is an inmutable version. What do I mean by that? Well, it's a runable Linux system on a CD-ROM disk. If you "Anchor" it to your Windoze partition, you can save your settings from run to run, compile programs to work with it (Demolinux is based on Debian Linux) and pretty much do what you want with it. Drawbacks are that it is _slow_ in comparison to a full install and that if anything happens to your Windoze partition you can lose all your work. Just remember, read everything and YMMV.

RE: [newbie] STILL cannot mount floppy or cdrom drive!! HELP
OK, I'll take a stab at this. As I have read, to use and IDE cd-rom burner you have too load ide-scsi, right? Well, now the cd-rom drive is no longer /dev/hdc but /dev/scd0 or something. \ If this is true you need to delete /dev/cdrom and create a symlink: ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom and don't forget to change /etc/fstab OR undo the ide-scsi stuff.

Also when using the make boot floppy GUI tool the floppy will in fact work fine, but on my own it will not. BIG NOTE HERE:I am having also Identical problem with the floppy, it too also has icon with lock on it. Now this the problem that I am having. As a result the rpmdrake cannot find the cdrom.. Thus I am unable to install rpm, and I am unable to look at any cd or floppy, and it is getting more urgent to be able to do this.. MY assumption is that this problem has something to do with "supermount". Addendum: I have been to the mandrake url for cdburner help at http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/Tutorial/CDburner/pages/ and have performed the command lines exactly as stated. This has had no effect on the problem I am having with the ability to mount the cdrom drive. This also has not done anything to help with the identical problem with mounting the floppy drive. Obviously it is some kind of bug or flaw in the supermount, or I am just an idiot. I have become so furious at this problem I have considered just putting windoze back. If SOMEONE ANYONE out there could help me troubleshoot this mounting problem I would really appreciate it. I have gone and reviewed so many docs and info on mounting in linux it makes my head spin.

[newbie] Auto-install disk didn't install all my selected packages
Yes, the subject says it all. Auto-install disk didn't install all my selected packages During the initial installation I used both LM 7.2 CDs (I had to swap). But when I later tried the auto-install floppy, the whole installation process ran off from only the first CD ! Upon inspection, I found that many of the packages I chose wasn't installed. Is this a bug or did I do something wrong? Ken.

Re: [newbie] supermount-- I am unable to mount cdrom and floppy
Susan: I have found the same (or similar) problem. Actually, I consistently have the problem when I physically remove a CD drive from the machine (kudzu removes it on re-boot). When I replace the CD drive, everything looks great - like the drive is there (kudzu sees it, and re-installs it) - but I get the same messages you do. So far, the only solution I have found is to re-install Mandrake and leave the CD drive in. However, I am working with 60 machines - only 10 have CD drives. I now set up Samba so that I do not need the CD drive, and can remove it, accessing my rpms from the Samba server. I know this doesn't "solve" the problem - but perhaps it helps to shed some light. Best wishes.

Re: [newbie] I have a problem Configuring my Ethernet... can U help me?
Assuming your ethernet card is already detected, and your ISP uses DCHP to give out IP addresses, it's pretty simple. Open up Linuxconf, "linuxconf", and then go to "Networking", then "Host" something (I'm on 7.2 and it's slightly different I think, but you want to first button on the top), then go to the "Adapter 1" tab. From there, check the "Enabled" box, and select config mode as "DCHP". In the net device field, select "eth0" assuming that you only have one network card. Finally, based on your card info, pick "ne" for your kernel module field. http://www.linuxrouter.org/listarch/linux-router/2000-04-01/msg00390.html has some more instructions on what you might have to do to get it to work on your card. Hope that helped. I have Mandrake 7.1 and my ethernet card info sounds like this: Aand I use it with a cable modem.

Hi you can enable disable allmost all services in linuxconf also you can tell if the service should start at bootup its easy and usefull linuxconf network severtasks intenet sevices and then linuxconf control controlpanel control service activity telnet is controlled by inetd (7.1) and xinetd (7.2) so you need to have that enabled too good luck btw. ssh is nicer than telnet try it! got any pointers to setup ssh ?

This would be great except that the install freezes at this point, never to return. I remember an option on Mandrake 7.0 which would disable pcmcia during installation, this would solve my problem!

Re: [newbie] 7.2 again
Paul wrote: Hi all, I decided to go in at the deep end, and set up 7.2 on my second machine from scratch. A bit drastic, but since I was in control (at least I like think that), I decided that it would be a good time to rearrange some partitions. So I backed up what needed backing up, restarted installing and fiddled around with DiskDrake. Btw, if any of the Mandrake developers read this, my compliments about the entire installer and what comes with it. It is an amazing piece of work. Formatted all the partitions, set things up through manual labor. Selected all the packages I wanted on the machine (which helps a LOT in installation time and space!) and 45 minutes later things were well. Including networking and X running perfectly. Still don't know if I am running Xfree 4, but I have seen KDE2 (which runs as Root's wm) which is nice. I then reinstalled the .*rc files I saved for user Paul, startex X, and everything was there exactly as I left them in mdk7.1. I am happy.

I made the move from 7.1 to 7.2 yesterday. The graphical interface sure made deleting the old partitions and setting up a new configuration really easy. It also gave me a chance to set up ReiserFS so I could see how it performs. The biggest problems is simply learning the differences (Where is that feature now?) between KDE2 vs KDE1. Barry :-)
