[newbie-it] Problemi installazione pacchetti
Sono un neofita di Linux e ho installato con successo il Mandrake 7.2; uso W9x da sempre e poco ne capisco di files binari, tar ecc. Ho provato ad istallare qualche pacchetto che il sistema ha caricato durante l'installazione (es. WINE e SANE), ma non me lo ritrovo nel menù. Come si installano e si richiamano?

Linux alcuni pacchetti che installi non te li fà trovare nel menu' in quanto non sono dei programmi.

[newbie] LM7.2 questions about telnet and webmin
I was gifted with an old comp from work and tried installing LM7.2 on it.
Everything during the install and all post install configuration went fine.
Started playing around with it since this is the only machine that i have
7.2 on (my others are running 7.1) and ran into a few snags.
The biggest one is that i cannot telnet into the box at all from anywhere. I
cant even telnet localhost. When i try it reports:
{fireman}$ telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
So i am assuming that there is some security setting somewhere that is
stopping me. Anyone have any ideas where or what it might be and how i can
turn it off?
Things i have checked so far:
/etc/inetd.cont -- the telnet line is uncommented here and looks correct
/etc/hosts.deny -- nothing in here except for commented out lines
/etc/hosts.allow -- same as above
ipchains -L -- no rules and all policiesset to accept
security level -- set to medium
Thanks in advance,

I think Cups is a good thing...as long as you're not using, or trying to use a Canon printer. Where HP is concerned you can't beat Cups with a stick. Not even a pair of sticks. Drum sticks that is...and you know who you are! Anyway, I firgure it this way. Those of us that are hell bent on sticking with our Canon printers are just going to have to stick with using Lpr until Mandrake version 8.1 is in full release. That would be at least by Summer 2002 easy. By then Cups should be a killer printer support platform. ACtually I think Canon should have stuck with making Cameras and never gotten into the printer market. And I should have my head examinded for friggin buying one. After this it will be HP for me...or an Epson. Now THOSE are printers. O, and by the way. You can very easily and quickly install a printer using Linuxconf to print with Lpr. Only thing is you have to make sure that Cups, Qtcups, Kups and anything else C,K-ups in it is totally uninstalled from the system before you will be able to install and use a printer with LPR. That just da way it is. rpm -qa | grep cups Issue the above command in a terminal to see if you have Cups of any kind installed on the system. This will catch qtcups as well. then issue this command to uninstall those packages from the system. rpm -e -force package-name *use the -force argument only if necessary *where package-name is place the name of the package listed from the rpm query. *package name MUST entered exactly as it appears in the output rpm -qa |grep Kups Do everything for Kups packages that you did for Cups packages. The procedure is the same. Then Open Linuxconf-Miscellaneous services-Printer-Add/Edit printers-Add. You will be prompted to create a printer when you do you will then define that printers properties. When you click on that printers name in the little box you can further define that printer. There is a panel with 3 tabs across the top. On the first tab you define the max file size. On the second tab you choose the device: /dev/lp0 /dev/lp1 /dev/lp2 custom Lp0 is the typical and default choice. 3 and last tab is where you choose the printers filters, resolution, paper size, and quality. The most important of these though is the filter. Choose the wrong filter and you won't see your printer printing...anything! That's really all there is to setting up print services using Lpr and Linuxconf. Quick...cool...and clean! And the friggin thing works with my Canon!!!

Re: [newbie] hosts.allow Question Clarification
Hey, I have a few friends whom I share access to their linux boxes and in return I give them access to mine... it's a tit for tat thing. If I want to block everyone except certain IP's, how can I do that? While the previous post will get you what you're after under most circumstances, there might be trouble on occasion. I'd searched searched till I'd found an example on the Web which has simply not failed me. For hosts.allow: #allow everything inside of the network a few select others ALL: LOCAL, .yourdomain.com, 165.22.8.112, 207.109.85.60 #Give myself some access points in case DNS gets fucked in.telnetd: xxx.xx.xxx.xx in.telnetd: 207.109.85.60 in.telnetd: 165.22.8.112 in.ftpd: xxx.xx.xxx.xx in.ftpd: xxx.xx.xxx.xx in.ftpd: 207.109.85.60 in.ftpd: 165.22.8.112 Here, ALL indicates (basically) that anyone attempting is allowed, but LOCAL means that any with my domain (which is listed) two specific ip's (boxes I use at work) can access. But even if someone spoofed my domain, they'd still have to have a legitimate ip address (one of which is indicated where I have the x's), followed by each of those boxes at work which are allowed telnet ftp (though I can kill the telnet now I have ssh working). For hosts.deny: ALL: ALL This is what's called the paranoid set up. It tells the system that everyone is to be kept out unless there are specific entries in hosts.allow. Give this one a shot. And yes, you can use partial domains ip's -- just remember that if it's the second part (like yahoo.com) you have to lead it off with a . (so, .yahoo.com, or like near the end like 207.109.85.).

I have installed Mandrake 7.2 using the same CDs on another computer with similar hardware. It runs great on the other computer. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might try to get this working? Thanks in advance. Here's a quick rundown of the hardware: * SOYO SY-5EH5 motherboard * AMD K6/2 350MHz processor * 1x128MB 100ns SDRAM DIMM * EIDE CD-ROM (Secondary Master) * Sony CD-R (Secondary Slave) * Maxtor 15GB EIDE (Primary Master) * Matrox Mystique PCI 4MB video * Sony 200sx monitor * Kingston (DEC 21041 based) 10Mbps Ethernet card * Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 Plug Play * Seagate/Connor QIC-3020 TR3 floppy-based tape drive * Connor 2MB tape drive controller (floppy-based) * 2x USB ports (VIA chipset, on motherboard) * Epson Color Stylus 860 printer (hooked up via USB) * Standard Serial/Parallel ports. * Supra 33.6 external modem (COM1) * 1.44MB floppy * generic 104 key Keyboard * MS Intelimouse (wheel) ps/2 bus
RE: [newbie] Cameras was: More problems as if
Take a look at GPhoto ,(www.gphoto.org), I have a canon digital ixus, and it works fine with Gphoto2 version 1 of gphoto supports lots of cameras(but not USB) version 2 (still alpha) supports more cameras and USB, and has konquror and gnome intergration. evrything was fairly easy to compile and install, apart from the konquror intergration which was missing some files from the cvs get. I am considering getting a digital camera, would you or anyone on this list know of where I can go snoop to find a list of linux supported digital cameras? I know of gphoto and heard it works fair, but I need to be sure so I don't have to keep taking cameras back for exchange, that would look really weird. Thanks.

Re: [newbie] Problems with GLX for LM 7.2
Yes, I did change the driver as I mentioned: "Incidentally, I did change the "nv" to "nvidia" in the driver portion." Still no luck for me. Did you happen to receive the warning messages when you compiled your NVIDIA_kernel-0.9-6??? They were: "/tmp/ccvvfRE1.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccvvfRE1.s:9: Warning: Ignoring changed section attributes for .modinfo" Does anyone know what that means? I'll try installing a 2.4 kernel tonight then and see how that works out for me.

I then make a change to my os-registry.c as per http://www.evil3d.net/articles/linux/nv95v96_2/ This is a perfermance bug fix and should not affect my installation. Before install I removed the Mesa rpm using rpm -e because Mesa is not compatible with the nvidia drivers. I have tried installing these nvidia drivers probably 30 times. Several times I have tried from a clean install of Mandrake 7.2. Currently I am trying to install these drivers on Mandrake 7.2 with all of the updates and KDE 2.1 beta 1. I have followed the instructions on linuxnewbie.org and mandrakeuser.org (both short and long) as best as I can. I have also followed the Nvidia instructions/FAQ thoroughly. However, all of these (including nvidia) seem to be written for the old 9-5 drivers. After decompressing and applying the performance fix as mentioned above, I first go to the NVIDIA_kernel-0.9-6 directory. I had to make /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions and /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers directories because they were needed for the driver install, but did not previously exist.

[newbie] Configuring SB Live! MP3+ 5.1
Hi, i just recently bought the sound card mentioned in the subject. I'm trying desparately to get it to work with mandrake, but i can't. I think i know what the problem is, but i don't know how to fix it. I think that the sound module isn't installed. I tried to do this, but the driver that it uses, "emu10k1.o" was compiled for a different version of the kernel. How do I compile it for the current version? Is there any tutorials out there that will guide me through this process? Do I have to recompile my kernel? I'm running Mandrake 7.0. Any help is appreciated.

[newbie] 7.1 - 7.2 upgrade hangs at stage 1 on reboot
Hello all, I had a working Mandrake 7.1 installation on an older Dell XPS200 Pentium Pro system using SCSI disks and ReiserFS. The 2 CD upgrade to 7.2 seemed to go fine (although it took hours) then it was time to reboot. I removed the CD, rebooted, my SCSI stuff was detected, "stage 1" (from Grub, I believe) prints to the screen, and there it sits. I've left it at that point overnight and nothing else happened so it is definately hung. One might say, "well hung". I restarted the install, got to the point that my disks were mounted and checked out etc/boot/. Everything appeared to be pointed to the right disks and so forth, but that was my first time in that directory so I could have missed something. What's up? The archives haven't revealed anything to me. It's bad enough my primary workstation is a PPro 200, but at least it worked. Oh the humanity... TIA, -G __ Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

[newbie]Vmware installation in 7.2
Dear All, I have LM 7.2 and I would like to install the vmware 2.00 I purchased a month or so ago. I tried a couple of times before but had some problems probably from my lack of knowledge. I do not want to crash my system again with this. That happened during my first attempt and it would be very inconvenient this time aroumd. My husband just got a new job which requires using Excel. I have it but need Windows 95 for it which is why I want to get the vmware installed. Personally, I would like him to use the spreadsheet from StarOffice or Gnumeric which may work well enough for him I do not know. If it doesn't he will want EXCEl immediately so I want to be prepared. His new job starts Feb.19 and he wants to be practicing as soon as possible. Will I need to upgrade my LM 7.2 first or acquire some files that are not supplied with 7.2 first? Any of your suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Marcia
