[newbie-it] sylpheed (aiuto) e web-browser
1) Dopo l'articolo su LinuxC. ho tentato di installare sylphhed sulla mia distro SuSE 7.0. Ho scaricato il file da freeshmeat, perch quello sul Cd non riuscivo a utilizzarlo (l'ho provato su mdk 7.2 ed veremante ok). L'archivio si trova in /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/sylpheed-0.4.61, ma dopo averlo scompattato e letto i file README e INSTALL, al momento del ./configure inizia il primo guaio. l'output il seguente: cheking for glib-config...no cheking for GLIB - version = 1.2.6...no ***the glib-config script installled by GLIB could not be found ***If GLIB was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in ***your path, or set the GLIB_CONFIG evironment variable to the ***full path to glib-config. configure:error: Test for GLIB failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help. Sono andato a cercare se avevo installato nel mio sistema un pacchetto tipo Glib e ho trovato glib-1.2.8 installato. Tutti gli altri messaggi mi sono oscuri. Preciso che non uso gnome, ma ho installato gimp e ovviamente tutte le dipendenze relative. Se qualcuno mi pu aiutare a risolvere da qui in avanti, o almeno indicarmi dove trovare un rpm che funga con la SuSE 7.0. 2) facendo degli esperimenti con i vari mta e browser, ho utilizzato ktop per vedere la necessit dirisorse dei vari programmi. Normalmente uso Windowmaker come wmanager e ho notato che usando NetscapeMail/Browser ho una voce "memoria" che indica 20M e una voce "residente" che indica 12M. Ora per lynx ottengo 2720 e 1640, ma per konqueror definito sulla rivista 'leggero' leggo 15M/9880 (il vecchio kfm consuma 8848/4912). Per conqueror lo posso avviare solo se avvio kdeinit che apre 5 processi da 12M/+-4000. Vorrei sapere come posso valutare la leggerezza di un programma, in base alla voce "memoria" o a quella"residente" e magari anche cosa vogliono dire precisamente questi due termini. Per curiosit ho visto che Star office "ciuccia" ben 83M/49M, e pur non sapendo cosa questo vuol dire mi sembra tanto. Saluti Alessandro

[newbie-it] Upgrade a KDE 2.0.1
Salve a tutti ho letto molti msg su questo argomento, ma non ho capito se tutto quello che dicevate corrispondeva a quanto scritto sul readme degli rpm di KDE 2.0.1 Lo metto qui di seguito e poi ditemi se secondo va bene anche questa procedura. --- Installare gli rpm di KDE 2.01 per Mandrake Queste istruzioni sono per l'upgrade di KDE 2.0/Mandrake 7.2. Coloro che possiedono versioni precedenti devono PRIMA installare le qt2.2.1 o pi recenti. Se stai eseguendo KDE necessario seguire i seguenti passi: 1. Crea una directory dove mantenere gli rmp per KDE 2.0.1 2. Esegui il download degli rpm in quella directory 3. Fai il logout ed entra in una console ordinaria da root, spegni X in modo da non avere KDE in esecuzione mentre stai effettuando l'upgrade 4. Entra nella directory che hai creato per gli rpm 5. Se hai KDE 2.0 rpm -F *.rpm altrimenti rpm -ivh *.rpm 6. rpm --rebuilddb 7. update-menus -v Fatto tutto questo esegui il login come normale utente e fai ripartire X. Dopo di questo potresti aver bisogno di eseguire il logout e il login un'altra. Se non segui un processo del genere potranno mancare alcuni elementi di KDE dal menu e il kpanel potrebbe mostrare molte rotelle dove invece si dovrebbero trovare delle icone. --- Nota: NON LAMENTATEVI DELLA TRADUZIONE. L'HO FATTA IO!! :)) Quando mi direte che si puo' passare al 2.0.1 senza troppi problemi, inizier a scaricare (col mio bel 56K) tutti quei bei pacchetti!!! Grazie a tutti e Ciao! Enrico

Esiste qualche combinazione di tasti per poter killare KDE, quando si blocca, senza resettare tutta la macchina? (Per fortuna la versione 2.0.1 va meglio della 2.0). Ciao e grazie. In generale per killare il server X ci sono 3 metodi: * Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (a meno che non sia disattivata questa possibilit in /etc/X11/XF86Config, in tal caso metti un # davanti a DontZap per attivarla) oppure * premi Ctrl+Alt+FX dove X la consolle testuale virtuale da cui avevi avviato il server X e poi Ctrl-C, pu sembrare grezzo ma funziona ;) oppure * apri una finestra di terminale digiti "ps x | more" per vedere un elenco dei processi in esecuzione. Cerchi poi kde-session e tieni a mente il numero corrispondente nella colonna PID. Quindi digiti "kill PID" sostituendo a PID il numero trovato prima. Antonio -- http://king.rett.polimi.it/~ant

Not even Universities or colleges carrying it. I bought my 7.0 in college store but they had no idea that 7.2 is availible. Somehow Toronto is a Red Hat city, that is sad, wee need more choices.

Maybe I'm getting old (though I've always been a bit misanthropic;-), but when it comes to communication, I prefer a text-based deal. I don't chat much, but I've tried some of the gui apps, some of the avatar systems on the Web. All in all, I prefer ytalk. But I've not taken the time to figure out why talk isn't cooperative either in lm7.2 or in RH 6.0. It wouldn't be so bad if talk actually worked -- primitive as it is -- but I, for one, haven't figured out why it just sits times out even when set up on the boxes where the people are. Meph

Re: [newbie] recompiling the kernel
When you installed Linux you would have had to installed the kernel source then you would go to the directory called "/usr/souce/linux" (sometimes its /usr/src/linux-2.2.18 or something like that). then you would type "make menuconfig" then once you have made all the settings for your computer, type "make dep", "make install", "make modules", "make modules_install". But I must warn you this is a tricky thing for a newbie. (It can get sticky for those who know what they are doing). The biggest speed increase comes from two things, you can compile the kernel optimized for your particular processor (LM comes compile for Pentium, but you can optimize for PIII, Cyrix, Athlon/Duron/Thunderbird, etc). The second comes from removing drivers from the kernel that you are using (why have ISDN support when you don't even have one or plan to get one). - Original Message - From: Adam Baxter To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 12, 2001 1:27 AM Subject: [newbie] recompiling the kernel I've heard of some things, such as, recompiling the kernel, could possibly help the computer go faster and more effecient.

[newbie] pcmcia problems
I'm trying to install 7.2 on a Dell Latitude C800 laptop. I'm currently running RH7, but I don't like it and want to use Mandrake. When I installed RH, the first time I rebooted I got a kernel panic because of the pcmcia module. I had to boot interactively and not load the pcmcia module, then install the updated module and I was fine. When I try to install Mandrake, right after I choose the type of installation it tries to detect pcmcia devices and locks. I'm sure that it's the same problem, but how am I supposed to update the pcmcia module if I can't even get Mandrake installed. I'm sure that there is an option that I must be able to pass to tell it to not detect pcmcia, but I have no idea what it is.

hi, a comment about your original problem. just to eliminate something simple, have you tried different brands of blank CDs? see, my burner was working fine under linux, then suddenly it started trashing about 50% of the CD-Rs i tried to burn. i was trying to figure all this out and one day it occured to me that when i used my CD-RWs (4 of them, every weekend to backup) i never had a problem. i was using Memorx CDs (should have known better) so i bought a pack if Imation (for half the cost) and guess what. they work perfect. i haven't made a single coaster yet since using up the Memorx. and yes, i did shuffle between the Memorx Imation disk all in one session. it was the media, not my hardware / software. one other thing, on this win vs. linux thing. i recently installed Win98se on a different hard drive, but my same computer. the CD burner would not work. yet again -- if you think windows is "easy" to install, i don't think you've tried it lately. this last install took me over 2 hours and the burner nor sound card work at all.

I think those of us on this list have mandrake and/or some other distro for our own reasons, probably most of us also use microsoft products for our own reasons and that's probably enough said.

Re: [newbie] OK, another problem su is unresponsive [resolved]
Ok, here's a clarification of the problem, and the resolution. I upgraded my glibc packages from 2.1.3-16mdk to 2.1.3-18.3mdk. I did this from the command line as advized by the Mandrake site (my Mandrake Update was refusing to propperly handle them). I then found that I could not use the "su" command in the gnome terminal while in Gnome. I also found that I could not open administrative GUI programs in Gnome (as user) that would normally bring up a password dialogue box. With the help of some friendly folks at #gnome-help over at irc.gnome.org , I learned the problem was with the xalf v. 0.42 package. So I went over to rpmfind.net found v. 0.8 and violla! Problem resolved. Another potential resolution is to simpply uninstall xalf. Thanks for hearing me out, folks. Just wanted to leave this documented here in case anybody else runs into this problem. -Paul R PS for the record: xalf: This is a small utility to provide feedback when starting X11 applications.

I tried doing this from within MandrakeUpdate, but the install would stall, not giving me any error messages. So I downloaded them from rpmfind.net (not the cooker version, the normal mandrake ones). I exited X, from a virtual desktop I typed (a la mandrake website): rpm -Fvh glibc-2.1.3-18.3mdk-i586.rpm rpm -Fvh glibc-devel-2.1.3-18.3mdk-i586.rpm rpm -Fvh glibc-profile-2.1.3-18.3mdk-i586.rpm Everything seemed normal, except, after re-entering X, I found I couldn't access the "su" command. I get the following error: "error in loading shared libraries:libxalflaunch.so.0:cannot open shared object file:no such file or directory" This only happens in Gnome.

And my other question is what is the difference in IPCHAINS for INPUT, OUTPUT and FORWARD, I am confused as to the meaning of these well..as the name says, INPUT is the chain for all packets that are coming into your machine (regardless which interface, either from your lan or the internet) OUTPUT is the chain for all packets leaving your machine (to the internet or to your lan) and FORWARD is the chain for all packets which are just passing the server, for example if u have a masqed machine behind your linux server, all the packets coming from the masqed machine (destined for lets say the internet) will traverse the FORWARD chain. that is why u would have to have a masq target in your FORWARD chain (if u are doing masquerading ;) ) i recommend the ipchains howto at www.linuxdoc.org , it has a very good description of the different chains and how they are handled.

[newbie] Time Space
When most of you ppl reply to something, you include all of the message you replied to, which in its turn may include messages it's replied to, etc. Sometimes the interesting part in the original message are just one line, while the whole msg might be 100 lines.. So, this means that of the 500k i get in the mailbox a day from these lists (newbie and expert), 90% is stuff i've already read, that i don't need to read again, and that's not relevant to the reply at all. My point is, could you please try to just include the part of the message you're actually replying to ? This will save time and space both when downloading the messages from the mailserver (for those who doesn't have dsl, cable, fiber-optic etc. connections), and also when reading the message, so that we don't have to skip through a whole lot of uninteresting text.

[newbie] Mandrake 7.2 'make' woes
Okay, I did a fresh complete install of Mandrake 7.2 (using discs from the Complete box set). My problem is when I extract a tarball and ./configure it, I get errors when I use the 'make' command. I would think that Mandrake would have everything necessary to do this included on the install, so perhaps I am doing something wrong. Much thanks in advance for any and all help. dave _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

On Tuesday 13 March 2001 10:53, you wrote: there is K mail, a good email client. check if it is in yoru linux box, if not just let me know it too for further informations. I'll second that. I'm quite happy with KMail. But your original query was about importing the collection you had in Outlook. I don't know of any program that will do that but i'm very new too. What you could do in Outlook is Edit - Select All, Edit Copy then paste the result into Notepad. Then in Linux you can view your Notepad texts using your choice of text editor via /mnt/windows/whatever folder you used for your texts Cheers -- Bob Parker

Re: [newbie] MS Outlook
There is a companion piece of software to KMail called kmailcvt. It is a utility that lets you import various address book types, including MS Outlook Express among others. The address book in KMail is still fairly primitive when compared to Outlook, but it's getting there. One thing you have to be sure to do after performing an import is to go into: SettingsConfigurationAppearanceAddress Book tab and from there change the layout from the traditional layout to another layout such as KAB. That's the only way your recently imported contacts are viewable.

RE: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 'make' woes
I was getting the same problem, its wierd because sometimes mandrake installed the make command files or whatever they are and sometimes they didn't. What you need to do is go to the rpm installer packager thing and look for make on your install cd, then install it. It should work fine under that.

[newbie] PPP daemon missing
I finally got a Linux distro installed on my newly built system. I played with a bit and was very impressed more so that it finally installed and loaded the desktop like advertised. My problem is that I want to connect to the Internet and update 7.2 if needed. I put the CD in the tray and tried figuring out how to find ppp daemon which Linux tells me is missing and needed to configure my Internet connection. I also need help with setting up my modem. I have a Creative Labs Blaster modem and it is not listed within Linux. There is a name there but nothing I recognize. Remember I am a complete newbie I have no clue about command line within Linux or familiar with the tech talk most of you use when dealing with configuring Linux. Also on the plus side I was very very impressed on how Linux recognized and installed my HP 682C printer faster than Windows and Macintosh; this is through a parallel port connection which is why I was so impressed. The test page was very clean and although I was a bit skeptical with the problems with CUPS so many users have had. Thanks in advance.
RE: [newbie] MS Outlook
I think he means whether he can import individual pieces of mail from outlook to kmail. I've always wondered that myself. What I've done in the past is just forwarded/copied all the mail I wanted to have in my new mail client, the in the new client receive it again. Thats really the only way I have figured to get it right. aldo There is a companion piece of software to KMail called kmailcvt.
