[newbie-it] Problema particolare d'installazione
Ciao a tutti! Sono un newbie alle primissime armi con Linux, e vorrei installare la versione Mandrake 7.2. La installazione (incominciata dal floppy col file cdrom.img) per mi si blocca ad un certo punto : ... ... hdc : MATSHITA CR-583,ATAPI CDROM drive Unable to handle Kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual addres 0014 current-tss.cr3 = 00101000, %cr3 = 00101000 *pde = Oops : CPU :0 EIP : 0010 : [c0108c59] EFLAGS : 00010002 ... ...

In quest'ultimo vorrei far stare Linux nei 900MB liberi. ( prima dell'installazione ho fatto un scandisk/defrag ma non l'ho partizionato pensando di farlo durante la stessa installazione di Linux). Io non so proprio da dove partire per risolvere il problema... Ringrazio da adesso chi volesse darmi qualche consiglio e mi scuso sia per il disturbo causato che per la lunghezza del messaggio.

[newbie] Screen resolution - Update
The resolution is correct when a photo is opened in the file manager or The Gimp and other viewers. It is not correct when used as background. Also, there is a line running perpendicular right in the middle of the screen. When I move a dialog box, this line leaves tracks. I accepted the defaults given at installation, then had to change monitors even though the default was correct. The video card was ok. I changed settings in DrakConf, Screen Resolution, many times. I've used every setting in xf86config that is even close to my set up. I'm sure xf86conifig configures /etc/X11/XF86Config. Which file does 'DrakConf, Screen Resolution,' configure? Any ideas welcome.
[newbie] SAMBA Create Mode
I want to set Samba to set the permission of created files and directories to rxwrxw--- so I set the 'create mode' option to 0770 but that seems to create files with rxw--. Am I missing something?

Re: [newbie] problems with MandrakeUpdate
MandrakeUpdate in MDK 7.2 is buggy. This is my persnal way of using it. I use it to tell me what to update and check for special instructions for install, then I open two terminals. In one I ftp the the site that MandrakeUpdate reads from. In the other I do rmp -Uvh manually for each downloaded rpm. Often I do update list in MandrakeUpdate and do this until the list is empty. Bottom line: do NOT use MandrakeUpdate to update, but use it to find the ftp sites, choose the rpms and check your progress. Hopefully it will work in MDK 8.0. As soon as the box is in the stores I will go and grab one. On Thursday 19 April 2001 04:21, Seeun William Umboh wrote: I just installed Mandrake 7.1.

Grant Goodine wrote: Can anyone tell me where I can get a good 56k linux compatable modem?? _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. Grant: The short answer is, "Lots of places". Here are some things I've learned: 1. If it's an external modem that plugs into a com port, it should be OK. (Notice the use of the weasel word "should" -- never underestimate other people's creativity.) One neat thing about these modems is that you get a lot of flashing lights to entertain you. 2. If it's an external USB modem, maybe. Depending on your hardware, distribution and version, the USB thing might be a hassle. 3. If it's an internal ISA modem, probably. However, if it features plug-and-play, make sure it can be jumpered to configure it to a specific com port and IRQ. This is what I'm doing. No lights, but one less power wart and more desk space. Cheaper, too. 4. If it's an internal PCI modem, I'd be suspicious. Some work, but many don't. 5. If it says "Windows XX only" on the box, put it down and keep looking. However, if the box says that it does work under Windows, that may be only a note of reassurance to the computing-impaired, and it may work with Linux. Keep reading. 6. If the price is under $50, put it down and keep looking. 7. Some manufacturers will come out and say that their product will work with Linux. For what it's worth, Zoom's website (www.zoomtel.com/modemsna.html) allows you to search for those Zoom modems that do work with Linux. Other manufacturers may do the same. 8. A very detailed list of what works and what doesn't is available at www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html. There is a lot more information about modems and Linux at that site, too, and it's well worth spending some time there. Make that your next destination. 9. There is also a site (I think it's www.linmodems.com, but I'm not certain) that addresses this problem. IIR, though, it is aimed more at the poor guy who is stuck with a winmodem and is trying to make it work. Regards, -- cmg

[newbie] Update -- invoking bash scripts
I discovered, using the hex editor, that the scripts on the cdrom from "Linux Shells by Example" terminate each line with a carrage return followed by a line feed (hex 0d0a) combination. The lines of the identical script entered using vi terminates each line with just the line feed (hex 0a). The script entered using vi runs from the command line by entering just the scriptname. The scripts from the cdrom (lines terminated by CR/LF) do not run from the command line directly. They do not run correctly even if invoked by saying "bash scriptname". How can I strip the CR (hex 0d) from the lines in the scripts from the cdrom. Can gawk do it? It seems possible to process the file and strip the CR characters out piping stdout to a file on the harddisk. Can someone show me how? Thanks in advance. -- Geof A.

[newbie]Can Only Log In As Root
I apologize if this has been answered many times before. I'm an extreme newbie (and at my age linux seems a very steep learning curve) so please be patient with me. I was installing several programs in rpm format under KDE. Everything was find until I tried to install StarOffice 5.2 . Then the dragon showed up with a message saying I had an error. I tried it once more with the same result. Later when I tried to start linux everything stopped at the console (the part where the asci penguin appears). I managed to log in as root and found out I had kernal panic and a segmentation fault. So I reinstalled. Now I can log in as root but as nothing else. I've tried deleting home directories, removing and re-adding users, to no avail. I apologize for any idiocy, but what can I do about this? Thank you for any help. Michele Kerby

[newbie] Problem about apache 1.3.19 install on Mandrake 8.0
Title: ¶ê§Î¹Ï Dear : I haveused linux on Redhat6.2 and 7.0 for a while. But I am new touse Mandrake 8.0, I am happy to use Mandrake 8.0. I have tried successfully installed mysql-3.23.36 + openssl-0.9.6 +mod_ssl-2.8.1-1.3.19 + php4.0.4pl1 on Redhat 6.2 But I got some errors when applying those on Mandrake8.0. Here is the installation steps and the messages on Mandrake: # (1) install mysql, suppose now on the mysql path ./configure make make install scripts/mysql_install_db /usr/local/share/mysql/mysql.server start # It works, and I can use Mysql database # (2) install openssl, suppose now on the openssl path sh config \ -fPIC \ no-idea make make test # It works # (3) install modssl, suppose now on the modssl path ./configure \ --with-apache=../apache_1.3.19 \ --with-crt=... --with-key=... #It works # (4) install apache, suppose now on theapache path SSL_BASE=../openssl-0.9.6 \ ./configure \ --prefix=/usr/local/apache \ --enable-module=most \ --enable-shared=max \ --enable-module=ssl \ --enable-shared=ssl make The screen shows that I got some errors /usr/local/apache_1.3.19/src/modules/standard/mod_auth_dbm.c:85:22: db1/ndbm.h : No such file or directory I found that when I installed Mandrake 8.0, it doesn't create the directory /usr/include/db1, so itgets an error while trying to read /usr/include/db1/ndbm.h file. So, I think it probablyan error on Mandrake 8.0. However, as I remove the line --enable-module=most \ , that is: --prefix=/usr/local/apache \ --enable-shared=max \ --enable-module=ssl \ --enable-shared=ssl make make install It all works, and I can successfully configure php later,butI can not #load additional module on apache, such as gd or zlib etc.. So I think I cannotcomment out --enable-module=most Thanks in advance.

Cutting down on a Slackware distribution, I couldn't get much lower han 90 Mb (including minimal Netscape) using Icewm as window manager. The result was pretty spartan though. Excluding Netscape and including a minimal Staroffice I could bring it down to 147 Mb, giving me sparse W95-like functionality -- Not worth the bother I think. You could try a minidistrib like Mulinux or dragonlinux though. groetjes. -- Semper avanti,sailing on Linux, Harm Bathoorn Free evermore. Hoek.
