[newbie-it] Postfix e IPv4.. (secondo tentativo)
Ciao! Ho appena reinstallato MDK 7.2 (dopo aver provato la Red Hat 7.0 e esserne stato deluso) e subito sono comparsi degli strani messaggi all'avvio di postfix (in aurora): [60G [[1;31mFAILED[0;39m] Starting Postfix:OK Allora mi sono messo a spulciare nei file di log e ho trovato che appena prima di postfix il kernel tentava di disattivare "IPv4 packet forwarding" con esito negativo... Dunque ho editato il file ...\syconf\network (che non mi ricordo pi bene dove si trova) e ho cambiato il valore "no" in "yes" accanto alla scritta "IPv4 packet forwarding". Come per magia al riavvio comparsa una scritta misteriosamente simile alla precedente appena prima di Postfix: [60G[[1;31mOK[0;39m] Flushing all current rules:OK seguita poi dalla corretto avvio di Postfix... (ovviamente prima c'era la notifica del corretto avvio di IPv4) Ora mi chiedo cosa ho fatto? Perch adesso postfix non da pi l'errore (o presunto tale dal momento che partiva cmq)? Cos' l'IPv4 packet forwarding? Grazie a tutti

Re: [newbie] Baby Questions - StarOffice
Regarding the StarOffice installation. On Monday 02 April 2001 16:52, Anthony wrote: 1- Install Star Office that comes with CD-3 (extras). General question is how to install applications from CD driver. To install Star Office, just go to the cdrom directory, usually /mnt/cdrom, and find a file named "setup" in there somewhere. Then type "./setup -net" from the command line in the directory that setup is located in. That'll setup a multiuser Star Office installation. Once that is done, return to normal user and cd to the directory where SO is installed. Under the directory "program" is setup. Type ./setup as normal user now. This will create some files and directories in your "home". Then to start SO type in your home directory ./office/soffice ( be patient ). The installation program will create also a menu item in KDE.

RE: [newbie] SAMBA
In many ways samba is quite easy to set up... There are a few "gotcha's" though stemming mostly from unclear documentation... Read the Samba howtos, paying particular attention to the smb.conf file. You edit this file and restart Samba... and you are up... You then add Linux users to Samba via smbadduser. Finally the Winblows machines are made part of the same domain or workgroup and you use the same login accounts as those you created with smbadduser If you enable swat, you can do all of this from your Web browser...

Re: [newbie] Mandrake Redhat on same 'puter
I figure I would reply to your actual question, as opposed to the reasons why you ask:-) Yes, it is very possible - what I do is only mount the partitions applicable to each distribution when each boots, and have separate boot partitions on my hard drive for each distro. I use GRUB as my bootloader and it works like a charm. I set up the partitions before I installed, which seems easier to me. cheers, philomena On Tue, 3 Apr 2001, michael wrote: G'day Is it possible to install Mandrake RedHat on the same drive using seperate partitions, if so how??? -- Michael Doyle Adelaide, South Australia ICQ #2635762 http://members.dingoblue.net.au/~mtd

Depending on your location, you'll find that the following may or may not apply for roadrunner: 1) they use the MAC address in the negotiation. So if you used a Windows machine with a network card, you will have to use the same network card in your Linux box. 2) they sometimes assign you a hostname and that hostname/MAC address combo is used to authenticate who you are. If you had to enter a hostname for Windows, you will have to assign that same hostname to your Linux box. I'd assume that you would have already done this, so it probably does not apply to you.

Re: [newbie]PDF
Yes this is the same card in one box with win and Linux.Win gets on no prob. actually This isn't to confusing im following you. I think my problem is Dhcp. Also i will try your suggestion about the etc/dhcp file thanks At 05:37 AM 4/3/2001 -0400, you wrote: Phil; I caught both your emails, so I put them together in this reply, because I have questions for you about both of them. This second Realtek nic,...are you saying that you've used it inWindows to connect thru the cablemodem to your ISP, and it worked? Or are you saying that you've used it in Windows for something else, and it worked? If it worked to connect you in Windows (to your ISP that is) then the NIC is not your problem. Whether in Linux or Windows, the principles of TCP/IP are the same. Therefore, your problem is somewhere in Linux. You're probably using DHCP in Windows to get a dynamic IP number from your ISP each time you connect. If you can't do the same in Linux, then DHCP isn't runnin,or isn't running properly in Linux. If you're NOT using the NIC in Windows to connect to your ISP, but maybe to connect a second PC to this one, then I'd say that you should use this first NIC to connect to your ISP, and get another one to connect to the other PC. I know this is confusing, but I'm trying to be specific with insufficient info. By the way, /etc/dhcp , contains the DHCP Daemon (think executable file) that runs your DHCP "service". In other words, it's fine. But check the permissions on it. If you can't execute it when needed, your not going to get anywhere on the Internet. Change to root, and check the permissions on that file. Make sure that all the "Read" and "Execute" boxes are checked off. If it can't start, it can't get an IP number from your ISP.

[newbie] Linux-Friendly ISP? Try ASANet
Hello, In order for an ISP to be Linux-friendly, all you really need is for it to be accessible via dialup and its dns number(s). And with Mandrake's Dialup applet, it is super-easy. Such a service is ASANET INTERNET SERVICE which I have used for four(five?) years consecutively (and which also offers web hosting ;-) ) http://asan.com Go ahead, take a look! I use it on my Mandrake Linux. Tell them I sent you if you decide to sign up... ;-) Angel Mendez [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [[EXALIBUR]]

If not, do so. If so, undo it. When installing 7.2, it asked me if my hardware clock was set to GMT, and when I said yes, it gave me a time that was about 5 hours off, so I redid it and said no. Problem solved. peace, Rog peace, Rog

But now i can't find it, I checked under other but it wasn't listed. Any ideas how i can get it so i can load it or whatever i need to do to get my screen correct. GI dunno, haven't run any versions of the beta yet. But why are you asking questions about a beta version here anyway? The place where 8.0 is happening is on the cooker list.

[newbie] LI boot prompt
Hey, When attempting to upgrade to a newer version of Mandrake, apparently grub failed to completely delete the portion of my MBR containing lilo, because now when I boot up grub doesn't run and an "LI" is printed on the screen. How can I fix this? The computer doesn't have windows on it, but I can run the "rescue" thing from the CD's lilo menu. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, cyberclay [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I wonder why it works on some configurations and not on others? Can't say -- beyond bad coding. This kind of thing is much more common in M$ os' apps -- things which ~should~ work, but will in some installs but not in others. I've a P-100 still with RH6.0 which I'd had (for various reasons) had to reinstall 3-4 times. The only consistency in the biggest problem was that the box couldn't find the network even after entering the settings correctly during the install(s). Each time, there were different, odd settings in the network scripts. That box, of all three I have here, won't accept lilo during install, but will after first boot running /sbin/lilo, won't connect to my lan (let alone access the gateway beyond) till I edit the network scripts. The other two do fine. I've not got lm7.2 on the two faster boxes with only minor problems due to bad app coding either fixed or discarded in favour of an another app. Wish me luck -- I'll be installing lm7.2 on a P-Pro166 (after I get a new video card) for my brother, RH6.2 via ftp on a 486 laptop (had RH5.0 on it a while back without X) FreeBSD on an HP Netserver 486/33 (also needs a video card) soon. If you're interested, I can let you know about any oddities.

Re: [newbie] LI boot prompt
Do you have the floppy boot disks? Use those to boot back into the system. Go into your console, log in as superuser, use "lilo" command and that should correct Lilo.

[newbie] KDE2.1.1 in Mandrake?
Has anyone been able to upgrade the KDE files to 2.1.1? I have tried three times and the time wasted is not enjoyed. It ends up with a never ending list of dependencies or I end up with an Xwindow that's broken and won't come up. Maybe it is due to the XFree86 files but I don't think so. At any rate It appears to be an impossible mission to upgrade, and in the process I lost my sound somewhere. The sound card is seen and recognized correctly but I can't get a peep out of the speakers. It appears that I have no sound module, where would I go to get it and install? TIA for any advice. -- Dennis M. registered Linux user # 180842
[newbie] GRUB problems
Well, being new to linux I screwed up enough stuff that I thought it good to do a fresh install, but this time something got screwed up with GRUB. On previous installations I was able to have linux on my second drive and grub was able to load windows2000 from my first drive... something that I thought was pretty cool. But this time when my computer boots normally grub gets to "stage1" and then halts... not even reaching the boot menu. Does anyone know what could cause this and what I can do to fix it?

You just need to pick one that has it's firmware in the chipset and not in the OS (ala MS). Barry:-)
