Fwd: Re: [newbie-it] Installazione di 2 Mdk 8
Il 23:17, lunedì 14 Maggio 2001, Daniele Morabito ha scritto: attualmente ho installato sullo stesso disco Mdk 8 affiancata a Win98: voglio sradicare Win e sostituirlo con una seconda installazione di Mdk 8. Qual è il miglior modo di formattare l'hard disk per poter avere i due sistemi linux indipendenti e caricabili da lilo? Ok ragazi ho capito di non essere stato sufficientemente chiaro, quindi mi spiego: a fianco del sistema ufficiale vorrei riservare ~ 500 MB per una installazione minimale dove far girare esclusivamente Corel Photopaint con settaggi e paciocchi particolari (altrimenti non gli garba); attualmente l'HD è così ripartito: win98 su hda1 ( /mnt/win_c) partizione primaria 1 hda5 ( / ) partizione logica 1 hda6 ( swap) partizione logica 2 hda7 ( /home) partizione logica 3 anche il secondo sistema vorrei suddividerlo con /, /home, swap. domande: 1) Non si possono creare più di 4 partizioni logiche in un HD (o mi sbaglio?): cosa faccio il nuovo sistema lo installo su tre partizioni primarie? O c'è un sistema migliore? 2) come si fà a mettere in comune ai due sistemi partizioni come la /home e la swap? 3) quando installo il secondo sistema come faccio a sciegliere le partizioni vergini?

[newbie] New Install, can't find CD
Ok, this is so bad it hurts. I'm trying to load Mandrake 8.0 on an older box (an aging 75mhz Pentium), to set up as a firewall box. I've run Linux on it in the past, but it's been retired for a year or so. Anyway. I have to boot it from a floppy (it won't boot from a CD). So I made the floppy, and loaded the disk, and the CD, and hit the switch. It came up on the floppy ok, then it fails to find the CD. It's just a generic old IDE CD ROM drive. Nothing fancy (just older). The kernel seems to identify it on boot up, but the install program won't recognize it. it fails, then I get the option to pick one from a list. I do that, and it asks for options to boot from... This is way harder than it needs to be. :) any suggestions on how to get this thing to find the CD? Thanks!! Ric

After a boot, you can check /var/log/messages and see if the ISDN module was loaded and initialized. (It should show the MSN numbers of your card.)

Re: [newbie] setting up external modem
Everything John wrote is right on the money, so I'll just add two thoughts. The documentation can sometimes be a bit confusing, but I have never found a distribution that actually uses /dev/modem properly. Make sure the modem's location (with an external modem, the COM port's location) is selected -- /dev/ttyS0x, where x identifies the particular port being used as John described. Sometimes when everything else is correct (hardware modem, standard COM port, properly identified) the automatic detection process still fails locate and identify the modem. To check for this, run the Kudzu hardware-detection utility: Start a console session as root, then type kudzu (without the quotation marks). Kudzu may offer to uninstall your modem and install a generic modem; let it do both tasks, then run Kudzu again and it will probably offer to reverse the process --that is, unload the generic modem and install your Zoom modem. Again, let it perform both tasks. (While the generic modem driver might work, it's always nice to have Linux properly identify all your hardware.) -- Walter Luffman, [EMAIL PROTECTED]Medina, TN USA Diabetics are sweet people (Type 2 5/99, d/e/m/motorcycle) Sage, purple 1998 Honda VT1100C Shadow Spirit On Wednesday 16 May 2001 11:59, John Rye wrote: On Wed, 16 May 2001 10:30:16 -0500 Jennifer Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i can't seem to get my modem to work. it is connected properly (via serial port). when the lights are on showing that it is ready, but when i rund the hard drake it does not detect it. and every other method i have used for modem detection is the same. i have zoom v56, is there somehthing special i have to do to it. it has the setup cd that you would use and info for windows, but for any other os it just no info can be found.

[newbie] Help with Alsa
Hello, I am having a sound problem in my user account. I made the mistake of trying to update ALSA on my system to a version using LIVE UPDATE that required kernel 2.2.19. I currently have kernel 2.2.17. When I updated and then compiling the new kernel failed, I decided to return to previous configuration. Only problem was when I uninstalled the newer version of ALSA, sound only returned to root. No sound to my non root account. I reviewed the /var/messages file using the System Log Viewer displayed what I believe to be relevant messages only I need some help with deciphering them. They follow: CD-ROM I/O error: dev 0b:00, sector 64 isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=0b:00, iso_blknum=16, block=32 sr0: CD-ROM error: Info fld=0x10, Current sr0b:00 sense key illegal request Additional sense indicates Illegal mode for this track And this repeats as I try to use applications like CDPlayer or Mixer.

Re: [newbie] Help with Alsa
Terry, I made the same mistake. All I had to do was uninstall both the alsa and kernel upgrades, then reinstall the old binaries from CD. I may also have had to verify that lilo.conf was set up correctly, and that any soft links to the linux kernel in /boot were correct. I believe there is a vmlinuz soft link that is connected to the actual kernel file, which is something like vmlinuz-2.2.17-mdk21.

I don't have it installed at the moment, but these instructions worked for me before ... == As others may have commented on, I'm a bit miffed that Corel didn't include the apparently mandatory Fonttastic font manager program with their rpm distribution of Photopaint. Without it, Photopaint is apparently inoperative. No mention of it under requirements, other than their product would work fine on Mandrake. Had they bothered mentioning it, it would have saved me a lot of grief. It works fine, all right, like providing a car without tires. GYou get what you pay for, I guess. when you have untared the Photopaint file have a look under /dists/redhat/i386 You should find fonttastic-glibc-2.1-2000.06.22.14.00-1.i386.rpm On mandrake 7.2 I had the following problems getting Photopaint to work. First of all make sure that you install the glibc-2.1 version of fonttastic and not the glibc-2.0 one. I killed X doing that. I also found that I had to force fontastic (or ignore dependencies -- can't remember which) to get it to install as it conflicts with some init scripts. Secondly, installing Photopaint stuffed up my menus in KDE 2.0 (each menu repeats about 7 times). In order to avoid this I deleted the following files from /dists/redhat/i386 before I ran the setup program menusupport-kde-corel-2000.06.22.14.00-1.i386.rpm menusupport-redhat-2000.06.20.12.00-1.i386.rpm Setup will complain that there were some files missing in the install process but beside that it works fine - you just need to run photopaint from a terminal or add it to the menu manually. = -- Michel Clasquin, D Litt et Phil (Unisa) [EMAIL PROTECTED]/unisa.ac.za http://www.geocities.com/clasqm This message was posted from a Microsoft-free PC
Re: [newbie] How to set up Diamond Viper V770D on LM 8.0
You have to load the NVIDIA_kernel driver AND the NVIDIA_GLX driver. The fact that you only mentioned the GLX driver makes me suspicious. In a terminal type: lsmod And see if you the driver Nvidia is listed. If not, you do not have the kernel module loaded. You need to install NVIDIA_kernel first, then NVIDIA_GLX. Before instsall the GLX be sure to remove the conflicting Mesa files as detailed on nvidia's site.

The resolution goes up to 1400/1050. I've tried using other people's XF86config files, but they seem to do nothing. In fact, I can delete all the text in my XFree86 and it changes nothing... Any idea why this is? There was something about adding vga=835 to my lilo, but that does nothing. Everything on the net is about lilo... but for some reason 7.2 installs grub as default. Can anyone tell me how to replace Grub with lilo after install? Thanks!!

[newbie] Lucent OriNOCO card with Mandrake 8.0 and Apple AirPort Base Station?
I just bought an Apple AirPort Base Station, two AirPort cards for my iMacs and a Lucent OriNOCO card for my laptop that runs Mandrake 8.0. As is par for the course, installing and configuring the base and the two cards in the Mac environment was a dream. Took me all of about 20 minutes. The Lucent is a slightly different story. Mandrake properly loaded the wvlan_cs module, but I'm stuck at that point. I tried running Draknet but couldn't figure out where to enter my base station's network name and the password for the network. I'd really love to get this going. I'm kind of betwixt and between at home. I can either have the iMacs on the net using AirPort or the laptop on the net via the cable modem. I suppose I could plug my AirPort base station and my laptop into my XRouter and connect the XRouter to the cable modem, but the whole point of this exercise was to give me mobility with the laptop... :-( Any pointers appreciated. -- Skip Montanaro ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (847)971-7098
