[newbie-it] Php: dove non funziona?
Ciao a tutti, ho appena installato gli rpm di php sulla mia Mandrake 7.2 ma provando a caricare una pagina di prova (che chiama la funzione phpinfo();) non mi visualizza nulla.

Well, after giving the printer a good sound spanking and more importantly running Kups, must have been what needed to be done, not sure why it needed reconfigging after all this upgrading to the beta, sometimes you just have to spank it I guess.

When I plug in the ethernet I have link but when I show the interfaces it never shows up...it shows eth0, eth0:192 and lo (loopback). Here is my question, how can I set my system up to recognize the second card. By the way it's a D-Link card.

Is there any way to override the search for the dialtone before the modem starts dialing.? If someone could help me out that will be super. Thanx Paul Hi, from what I have found on the net, if you go into kppp and bring up the modem commands box, you can add two or three commas ,,, after ATDT or a W. this is supposed to let the modem wait a few seconds or until it hears a clear dialtone before it starts dialing. Let me know though, how it works, because it has not worked for me. The above comes directly from the telecommunication Engineers handbook and a site on the web I can't remember. Hope it works for you. I did no harm so it is worth a shot for you. I am on a COX phone system so maybe that is the difference. Good luck, -- Dennis M. Registered Linux user #180842 I have a similar answering service. You need to set your modem up to blind dial. In kppp add X1 in the modem dial string. Ex. "ATX1DT" This tells the modem not to wait for a dial tone before dialing. That should take care of it.

[newbie] Memory Miss reported and shutdownd command
Hi folks, I have become frustrated again. I had to reinstall 7.2 after a power outage and the UPS didn't last long enough so Anyway now that I have reinstalled and upgraded KDE to 2.1 beta 1 I have the old problem of showing only 64 M of memory on boot up and in control panel. I went into lilo and did the append="mem=256" and still no change. The MoBo shows the correct amount of memory on boot. What am I missing here? Speaking of boot, when I shutdown it goes through the list of oks and then right at the end a seg fault. I have gone to etc/rc.d/init.d/halt and at the very end of the script deleted the -p. This worked in 7.1 but in 7.2 it halts on "quota" and I don't get a clean disk dismount. Have to go through the check forced rigmarole for hdc1 and hdc6.

RE: [newbie] performance issues
A thought: Linux "hits" it's resolver quite frequently. If yours is not properly set up, then there will be long delays or pauses for applications to appear. --- A p2 333 should with that much RAM should give you excellent response. I also once saw sluggish performance on a system in which the IDE connectors/jumpers were not properly set up. Even though I had one drive set as Master and the other as Slave, they were from different manufacturers. I had to set the Master Drive up as a single drive to cure the problem. Does Linux spend a long time with the drive light lit before your application comes up? BTW: 10 seconds for Netscape is pretty good! Mine takes longer. Why? Netscape loads a lot of libraries, etc. It's a pretty bloated program.

It is generally not a good idea to force or replace files with a rpm of the importance of glibc. Removing the old package still fails: # rpm -e glibc-2.1.3-16mdk memory alloc returned NULL. # No, don't remove the old package. It seems like the rpm for glibc 2.1.3-18.3 that you have is corrupted some how. this is what I would do: #rpm -e glibc-2.1.3-18.3mdk (and do not force it. If it doesn't uninstall without problems then there is a reason for it) Then grab your LM 7.2 cds. under /cdrom-path/Mandrake/RPMS/. find glibc-2.1.3-16mdk.i585.rpm. then do: #rpm -Uvh --force glibc-2.1.3-16mdk.i586.rpm solve the depency problems if there are any. The reason for doing this is to clean up your rpm db. this --force option is designed for downgrading. If glibc-2.1.3-18.3mdk didn't uninstall before, it should now. Now download glibc-2.1.3-18.3mdk from another site and try again but don't force it (what i means by forcing is using the options --nodeps or --replacefiles) remember, if an rpm install doesn't work it is for a good reason (usually). -jason
RE: [newbie] More problems as if I did not have enough
This is normal for printers that have insufficient RAM for the resolution that is being output. HP's are notorious for arriving without enough RAM to do full page graphic output. The first time a user tries this, he/she gets identical results and complains that the printer or computer is not working. You have two options. 1) Use a CUPS setting that employs HP/GL. HPGL is a "vector" language (somewhat like postscript) which "describes" the page to the printer instead of sending a bitmap image to it. This means that you can print with far less memory in the printer and still get high res output. However even with HP/GL you will at times have similar results when printing graphic images. 2) The better solution is to upgrade the RAM in the printer to a minimum which is 1.5 times the largest page you'll print. My HP4 Plus came with 2 megs of RAM. I upgraded it to 10Megs to get decent output. My HP1200C came with 2 megs of RAM. I upgraded it to 6megs just to do full page output. This is a "gotcha" from the manufacturer. A way of pulling in a few extra dollars while keeping the cost of the initial sale down. -JMS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Vic Sent: Sunday, January 28, 2001 4:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] More problems as if I did not have enough Stupid printer again I could just throw it out the dang window.

Re: [newbie] KB/s....kb/sec can somome explain please
You're getting 12KB/sec because of hardware compression by the modem. You're connection is likely somewhere around 48Kb. Now the difference in terminology here is that the capital B means bytes, and lower case b means bits. Modem connection speed is measured in bps, while most browsers and network programs report Bps. So without hardware compression kicking in, a 48Kbps connection will only receive close to 5KBps (8 bits/byte, plus stop and start bits for async connections). Never mind the confusion added to the mix when you realize that your modem is still talking at 9600 baud, and they've packed more bits per transition.

Am I right in assuming that the first example shows the download speed and the second shows the connection speed, if so does 12.0kb/sec really mean that I am only connecting at 12 kilobits ? -- Digital Wokan, Tribal Mage of the Electronics Age Guerilla Linux Warrior

What do I need to change and where, to be able to dual boot again?. thanks. Without knowin what "messed it up" was and how to fix it, the safest thing to do would prob'ly be to boot the LM install CD and choose 'upgrade' (maybe it was called 'rescue' in 7.1). This will let you install a new copy of lilo or grub that should fix it. Just choose no new packages, say 'done' to networking, etc and it should only take a few minutes. -- Tom Brinkman[EMAIL PROTECTED]Galveston Bay

[newbie] CompuPic and Mozilla
Friends: Having a little trouble with CompuPic and Mozila. Same problem with both. They have been running fine for quite a while, since november, and now all of the sudden they have stopped working. By that I mean when I open CompuPic, I get the splash screen for about a second and then it disappears and nothing happens after that. Never does it show up. Mozilla is a little different. It will actually load a page and then just disappears. I'm not really sure what's going on and have tried to re-install them several times to no avail. Is this a problem that people have seen before? Sorta' lost on what I should try next. :) INFO: Athlon 600 196 meg ram 15 gig Maxtor HD ATI - All In Wonder Pro This distro is the Wal-Mart version that was released in November with the upgrade 1 CD.

Re: [newbie] Updating KDE 2 to KDE 2 Beta 2
No. no. no. You need that rpm. Navigate to that ftp site. Download the libg++.so.2.7.2.rpm to the same folder where you saved the rest of them. The reason for the --test was to se if you had anything missing. Type in: rpm -Uvh --test *.rpm If do not get any more messages, remove the --test, and type in: rpm -Uvh *.rpm Press the enter key Follow the next step to rebuild the database Type in: rpm --rebuilddb Press the enter key Give this some time and above all do not interrupt it.
