R: [newbie-it] Scheda Audio ISA Opti Audio 16
Ora dico una sciocchezza: è possibile che il modulo isa-pnp necessario alla tua scheda non sia installato? Nel mio caso è proprio così e alla prima occasione glielo metto. Ho qualche dubbio sul come, ma ci proverò. Luca Mi rendo conto della pochezza del problema: ho una scheda audio Opti che funzionava benissimo su mdk 7.2, ho fatto l'aggiornamento alla 8.0 che trovo molto bella, con molte semplificazioni di vita: ebbene, in avvio mi dà continuamente modprobe call: can't locate module isa-pnp L'errore si riverbera inesorabilmente su HardDrake (can't locate module isa-pnp) e alla fine di tutto il sistema è muto con mia grande tristezza. ho provato sndconfig fuori da X e niente ho provato a capire un po' modprobe ma con scarso successo (il tempo è sempre tiranno e mandrake di solito ti vizia) Se qualcuno avesse soluzioni dettagliate gliene sarei molto grato Paolo

Non è questa la filosofia giusta, e secondo me risente notevolmente di un'ottica windows-like Naturalmente sei libero di scegliere che distribuzione montare, è una degli aspetti migliori di avere scelta, ma l'impostazione questi devono sistemare e poi riprovarci è fuorviante. Le cose in ambiente Open Source si sviluppano perchè tutti contribuiscono, in pratica è il pagamento che ti chiedono le distribuzioni in cambio del loro lavoro. Hai mandato dei bug reports? Hai almeno lontanamente capito cosa sta succedendo? Certo nessuno ti chiede di farlo, ma se come dici tu devi diffondere ed imparare LINUX, secondo me è necessario entrare nell'ottica giusta.

I went, under Client Tasks, to the Name server specs/DNS... There was an error with the current settings which mentioned how /etc/resolv.conf needed to be edited -- and it seemed to be fixable right there So I added nocharge.com for the domain name where there was nothing before, and edited the IP of NameServer -- added the two addresses this part seems to correspond with your suggestion. Before doing this with KDE, I'd tried to use the command line instructions you had written down, but am pretty stinky at it so far ... lots of no command or file or something.

[newbie] Install problems
Hi My previous letter was not so clear, sorry about that. Anyway I have an old pentium 200, and i have a 10 gig hard drive but the bios can only see 8 gig. I have windows 95c on it. I then installed LM 8, suprisingly it could see the other 2 gig so i installed it to there. Unfortunately I couldnt boot because when it was just about to load the OS or lilo or something it just printed a couple of asc ii chars and then hangs. Then I tried an expert install. during it I said that it must change the boot sector or something, it gave me some warnings but I couldnt start my pc anyway, into win 95 or linux, so I said ok. That did not help. I then partitioned the disk 6,2,2. I installed LM8 again but to the second 2 gig partition. This worked and I can run LM8 with no problem unfortunatly I can no longer boot to a floppy which is a 98 boot disk. It seems to just read the disk for a few seconds and then hang. I disabled my hd in the bios and the disk worked fine but when i enabled it again the booting was messed again. So I had to reinstall LM8. Is there any way to install windows onto that first 6 gig I have without formatting everything because I still have quite a bit of info on it which I would like to keep. This is a bit lengthy but I hope that it explaines my situation? Thanks for any help. Joe __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo! Mail http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/

Re: [newbie] OpenGL
Jamie, To play Tuxracer, you must make sure that 1) the stock driver for your video card supports accelerated graphics. (For instance, the stock NVidia driver does not). I don't know squat about your video card, so I can't help you any more here. 2) To use OpenGL, X must be OpenGL-ready via the Mesa RPMs. You should double-check that you have Mesa installed with rpm -qa | grep Mesa which should list Mesa, Mesa-common, and Mesa-demos (well, I don't think you really _must_ have this last one). If they're not, pop in your installation CDs and install them.

[newbie] Sane Mandrake (Scanner)
I have had sane 1.0.4 installed and have only been able to scan gray mode. Color only gives a IO problem. Mandrakes cooker now has version 1.0.5 of the sane RPM's as well as version 0.78 of xsane. However, once I have removed the old software and re-installed with the lastest version, scanimage -V still reports 1.0.4. Is there a simple explanation? Also, after doing a scanimage -T, the prompt does not return and the scanner light stays on for about ten minutes at which point the prompt returns. Color test completes but does not return prompt either. Previous version at least finished gray test? Sorry for any bad english, my 18 month old daughter is helping me type this email. Cheers, Dave.

Re: [newbie] Your article is premature in articel http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/opinions/3387/1
Carroll, Daniel Christle was right on. This is a partial quote that I really liked from the article: I think it's time to be careful and thoughtful on how the Linux community portrays itself. This doesn't mean that we are to give up the enormous amount of introspection that the community continually exposes itself to. Rather, we should increase it, and build upon what has already been accomplished. Through our success we have created choice and freedom. If you think about it, the Linux community has done a lot and will continue to do a lot. We are now into areas, such as embedded system, that most people had not even given a thought to before. We need to couch our arguments to reflect the facts. Linux isn't dead and neither is Tux. Despite the recent happenings, Linux on the desktop is still a reality (at least it is for me). There's so much that is happening, in terms of development, for the desktop that I can't help believe the dream is still alive. We don't have to look far for examples of development that are geared toward the desktop. Off the top of my head I can think of a few. Open Office, Abiword, KOffice, KDE, GNOME, gnuCash, Kapital, Mozilla, KMail, Balsa, and the list goes on. There is way too much happening for the desktop to give up this battle. Linux isn't about world domination (unlike products by other west coast companies that come to mind), rather Linux is about choice and the freedom to make that choice. This is what people want, the freedom to choose and write and reconfigure their systems to their liking. Just because Word is not included as part of the operating system, it isn't the end all. It would be interesting to find how many C++ companies have gone out of business in the last 2 - 3 years. Or, how many millions of dollars Microsoft has lost on 'loser' projects. I still believe Linux is a force to be reckoned with and we should be proud that we are part of this interesting part of history. As an international community, that enjoys contributing to this superb OS, we still outnumber Microsoft. And, there are lot of Linux apps. in the works that cannot be talked about until they are ready for release that will take our breath away. Thanks Carroll. You made my evening.

[newbie] Multiple NIC's with Multiple dhcp connections!
I have 4 ethernet cards in my one server. Here's a breakdown of thier usage! eth0 = static IP from a cisco uBR 924. This is used for my web server/ftp server. eth1 = dhcp from another cable modem for a game server eth2 = dhcp from the cisco uBR924, internal network, for samba server eth3 = dhcp from another cable modem for another game server So I have a total of 3 'modems' that I am using for different things here. My problem is...is that using netconf in mandrake 8 only allows me, from what I can see, to setup one gateway. And this is the gateway of my static IP. I can only use one of the connections that are present at a time. If I setup the gateway for eth0 then only the web/ftp server works. If I setup eth1's default gateway then only the 1 game server works, and none of the other services work from the outside world. How do I configure these 4 ethernet cards so that they all act on thier own. eth1 and eth3 will be configured from dhcp and all traffic will go out to thier respective modem! Any help would be appreciated. Thx. h3rb
[newbie] PartImage - Very useful for O/S Fiddlers
Hi everyone. As one who enjoys messing with Linux, I dont risk my system by fiddling with major updates or reconfiguring. Instead I have 3 different systems, Caldera, Mandrake 7.2 and now Mandrake 8.0. So it doesnt matter if I destroy one. What we need is a quick way of restoring them. I have just got PartImage on a Mag disk and it is brilliant. Using it to make an image of a Partition, and them burning a CD with that image gives a quick way. I have just deliberately deleted my Man 8.0 partition, so I could restore it, which took about 3 minutes. It is better than Nero in that it ignores unused space, and compresses.

[newbie] cable modem, router problem
First of all thanks to everyone in advance, and I apologize for the long post! I am unable to connect through my router to my cable modem. I subscribed last week to Road Runner service here in the New York City area. In order to set up a quick LAN I purchased a Netgear RT314 Gateway Router and 2 NIC cards. I have 2 computers on the network; my wife's Win95 machine and my box dual booting Win2K and Mandrake 7.1. On my pc in Win2K everything works fine obtaining IP and DNS addresses automatically. And in Mandrake when I connect the cable directly from my Netgear FA312 NIC card using dhcp, to the Toshiba DOCSIS PCX1100U cable modem, that works fine also. But everything fails when I plug into the router. Pump fails on boot, and also fails if I try to activate the card in the Network Configurator control-panel. I have tried to set the IP address manually and specifying a default gateway:192.168.0.1 (my router) but with no luck. I am not even able to ping the router. I have searched and looked at every posting, archive and FAQ I could get my hands on and cannot figure it out. All the ones that I have seen address how to connect directly to the modem, not through a network. (Big thanks to the Linux Road Runner HOW-TO Web site, and to Donald Becker for writing the natsemi.c driver that got my FA312 card working!) If anybody has any ideas or suggestions or url's that would point me into the right direction it would be a great help. Here is my configuration info from Network Configurator; NAMES Hostname: jdowns (my account name) Domain: nyc.rr.com HOSTS IP: 127.0.0.1 Name: localhost.localdomain Nicknames: localhost INTERFACES Interface: lo Ip: 127.0.0.1 proto: none atboot: yes Interface: eth0 Ip: proto: dhcp atboot: yes DEVICE: eth0 Ip: Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Activate at boot time This is the configuration that works when I plug directly into the cable modem.

Hi all, After boot and at the login prompt, I would get can't find module char-major-180 and then can't find module char-major-4. It would scroll on for a couple of screens with that message. I read around and found out that 4 is related to the serial ports, and 180 is related to USB. I don't use either, and in fact have them disabled in my BIOS. I read an old article that I could add the following to my /etc/modules.conf: char-major-4 off char-major-180 off I've done that, and the messages have gone away. But I want to double-check with you guys: is what I did okay, or should I handle the error messages some other way? Thanks, Miark
[newbie] Lnx4Win to Setup L-M 7.2
Hello, Friends, My computer uses Windows 98. After using Lnx4Win to install Linux-Mandrake 7.2, Windows 98 still runs well when I choose it. However, Linux-Mandrake cannot start up if I take this choice. The following information is displayed on the screen. Request_module[block-major-7]: Root fs not mounted. VFS: Cannot open root device 07:07. kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 07:07. Please tell me what to do or how to resolve it. Thank you for your assistance.

Yours Truly, John _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. a word to the wise...DO NOT EVER USE WIN4LIN. although it makes the installation process easy, it does have it's drawbacks...ok? mostly, the fact that you will begin to take up space inside the linux 'folder' within win98. the problem with that? win98 cannot detect linux partitions! so, you may fill up your linux 'folder' real quick and that could leave windows high and dry. the BEST thing you can do, although it's a PAIN, is backup your win98 system, re-partition your drive, INSTALL WINDOWS AGAIN, FIRST, and then install linux. ALWAYS install WINDOWS FIRST! installing linux on it's own partitions is some of the best experience you will get using the system! for instance, i have a 20 gig seagate. i partitioned it up like this: 2 gig for win98 II 500 MB for linux / (root) 128 MB for linux swap 2 gig for /usr 2 gig for /usr/local 50 MB for /boot 200 MB for /tmp 200 MB for /var 2 gig for /home and the rest i split up into 3 extra FAT (windows) partitions...about 2 1/2 gigs each i've NEVER had any problems with this setup and my system appears to run quite smoothly. again, i know that backing up and re-installing is a headache, but it's some of the best experience you'll get...not only with linux, but mandrake especially!!! good luck and don't get frustrated!!! -- +- + Jeffrey M.
