[newbie-it] Problemi con kmid.
Ciao, ho problemi con il funzionamento di kmid. Quando tento di sentire un brano .mid mi si dice Impossibile aprire /dev/sequencer Probabilmente un altro programma lo sta già usando. Ho ricordi di aver usato kmid con la 7.0, prima di far l'upgrade alla 7.2, ma ora ho questo problema (non ho nessun altra applicazione aperta). Ho una scheda audio Sound Blaster 128 PCI. Ho che [alberto@master alberto]$ ll /dev/sequencer crw---1 alberto audio 14, 1 set 27 2000 /dev/sequencer Forse non appartengo al gruppo audio ? Come posso controllare ? L'autore di kmid mi ha risposto che This can be produced by several problems: 1) The midi device is not configured properly in the kernel 2) You don't have access to the /dev/sequencer device (permission problems) 3) The sequencer device cannot be opened (because another app has already opened it for example) Un grazie fin d'ora a chi mi potra' aiutare.

Re: [newbie] ICMP
hi something that i guess you have done while configuring bastille-firewall is that you have blocked icmp type of echo-reply. you can see the rules of your firewall by typing ipchains -L and then look for icmp rules. i'm not sure how to handle icmp but i guess it must be something like : ipchains -A input -p icmp --icmp-type -d 0/0 -i ethx -j ACCEPT x in ethx stands for nr of network interface. goodluck Marcel Dijk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I have configered Bastille-Firewall and it seems to be working, but I have one problem.

RE: [newbie] Install Mandrake 7.2 over 8.0 and a sendmail question
yeah, I am sort of interested in that one myself. I spent ages getting my server working as it currently is... I know some things are going to be a hassle, like swapping PMfirewall to IPTables On another note, In this list, it has been documented MANY times, that there is some serious problems with the standard Sendmail with mdk 7.2, my question is this,, why has Mandrake not released a patch or update for 7.2 that fixes the problem?? I fixed it myself on the last install, by installing the cooker version, which worked, but was a massive hassle with dependencies and I don't want to do it again. I am one of those people that hate reinsalling but want the newest stuff... So I will eventually upgrade to 8.0 or 8.1 when it arrives. but for now, what I have works, I have all the updates loaded and except for Sendmail, there are no serious issues that I am aware off. anyway, whats the easiest method by which I can install a working problem free install of Sendmail, and one which has no security or functionality bugs,(at least none that have been found yet.) I would change over to postfix, but I have a heap of perl scripts that go looking for sendmail and i won't want to rewrite them if I can avoid them... any suggestions anyone??? regards Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Paul Sent: Monday, 7 May 2001 5:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Install Mandrake 7.2 over 8.0 I am currently downloading Mandrake 8.

[newbie] laptop running 8.0 hangs during shutdown...
I have Mandrake 8.0 on my Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop, recently upgraded from 7.1. During shutdown it hangs shutting down eth0. The typical message is shutting down eth0 dhcpcd[nnn]: terminating on signal 1 I can press Ctl-Alt-Del to restart the reboot, but since I'm actually wanting to shut it down I have to time my press of the on/off switch properly (the on/off switch appears to be disabled during most of the boot/shutdown sequence) so that the disks have been dismounted but the system hasn't actually started to reboot. Configuration-wise, the only add-on to the laptop is a 3Com 589 PCMCIA ethernet card. Nothing like this happened when I was runnin 7.1, so I sort of assume it's not a hardware problem.

Just open it as root, through RPMDRAKE or Kpackage, and you can quickly install it.

RE: [newbie] Please HELP !
Michael S, Your best bet as far as the kernel is concerned is to take a look at the kernel howto on linuxdoc.org, if you want to build from .tar.gz source. If you installed kernel-source (check by doing rpm -qa | grep kernel), the source files are under /usr/src/linux-whatever (where whatever is the version number of the kernel you have installed--for example, I have kernel 2.2.19 installed, so the sources are in /usr/src/linux-2.2.19.)

Re: [newbie] Modem Install Hassles
Mark Shaw wrote: There aren't any jumpers of any kind on the card. I think I've almost got this working. What I did was to move the card from PCI slot 4 to slot 2, and reset the BIOS to allow it to choose the IRQ. (The PnP-aware OS switch in my BIOS is, and has always been, set to no.) Interestingly enough, the BIOS chose IRQ10 for the modem, which is what I had it last manually set to when it was in slot 4. But now the OS sees it, and I can actually dial a number with kppp! But then I get an error telling me that the ppp daemon shut down prematurely, or something like that (it was late). I'm further down the road, though. I'll just have to poke at it some more, I hope Thanks! Mark Shaw Markcheck and see if the option 'noauth' is in your /etc/ppp/options file.

[newbie] USB Drive
I have Mandrake 7.2 installed as a primary operating system on one of my pc's -- and I have an Iomega USB ZIP 100 drive. For one brief moment when I first installed 7.2 the drive worked but not since. Mount tells me that : /mnt/zip on /mnt/zip type supermoutn (rw, fs=vfat, /dev=/dev/zip) When I look in the device file I see ZIP -- sda4 When I attempt to access the drive (e.g., cd /mnt/zip or cd /dev/zip) I get either: bash: cd: /mnt/zip: Input/output error or: bash: cd: /dve/zip: Not a directory or /mnt/zip is not a block device. Iomega has drivers which are supposed to work with Mandrake 8.0 (which I don't have the bandwidth to download here in the boonies), and I have seen a USB zip work on Red Hat (bite my tongue!!) so I know it CAN be done. Any help or suggestions would be more than appreciated as I need the zip drive to transfer files from my Windows PC (the old slow one) to this new Linux only pc.

Well, if it has the Cpia chipset or a clone of the OLD logitech quickcam, it is supported by the kernel and there are many progs.

[newbie] How do I ...
I'm new to Linux. I have a Conexant SoftK56 PCI Modem (HSF).I manage to find a driver for this linmodem named: PCI 56K V2.2.17. I copied it to a tmp folder I patched it with something called HSF rwpatch (which was supposed to alow the driver to autodetect my modem-thing that I don't if it worked), then I used the ./ins_all script and after the instructions I found that was all I was supposed to do. In the lin hsf.inf file the ID of my modem was already there. After all this in DrakConf in Linuxconf in Miscellanous services my modem is not detected in /dev/ttyS2(COM3-that is corect in Windows). What should I do and how? In Bios I dissabled the PNP OS ( I dont' know why but I read that it might work). Maybe there is something wrong with the IRQ which in Windowsdetect my modem as IRQ 10(corect). But I don't know how to verfy this in Linux.I read all the how-to's I found but still I couldn't make my modem working. Help me if you can. I have : Linux Mandrake 7.2 , kernel 2.2.17 2 hardisks : 2 Gb (Linux), 10 Gb (Windows Me) AMD K6-2 3D Now 96 SDRAM ALi Motherboard PS : Excuse me for my English.
