--- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ha scritto: no steo grazie per avermi risposto, ma compilarte il kernel non e' ancora cosa facile x me, ti andrebbe di darmi una mano? Volentieri, pero' ti confido una cosa: non sono sicuro al 100% che il problema legato al tuo modem sia dovuto a questo... Il messaggio di errore mi fa pensare che il kernel non lo supporti, ma non ci metterei la mano sul fuoco, e non vorrei farti fare tutto questo lavoro magari per niente...! Anche perche' io non ho esperienze di configurazione di modems ISDN, pero' d'altra parte nel kernel ci sono delle opzioni per l'ISDN che potrebbero non essere abilitate e portare a quell'errore. Se ti senti di provare... potrebbe essere l'occasione per provare a compilare il kernel, che secondo me e' molto interessante. Vedi tu... Dunque, per compilare il kernel devi innanzi tutto avere i sorgenti installati sul tuo HD. I sorgenti li trovi sotto /usr/src, in una directory che dovrebbe chiamarsi linux oppure puo' avere il nome della versione del kernel: se la tua mdk e' la 8.0 dovresti avere una directory 2.4.3. Perdonami, ma sto andando a memoria perche' sono in ufficio e non posso controllare... (sono su una macchina NT)... Se non hai installato i sorgenti li trovi in formato rpm sul cd di installazione. Una volta che i sorgenti sono installati, per utilizzare un nuovo kernel, devi fare tre cose: 1 - configurarlo, cioe' dirgli cosa deve supportare (USB, ISDN, il processore che hai, che tipi di filesystem supportare...) 2 - compilarlo con la configurazione che hai stabilito 3 - installarlo sul sistema Per configurarlo devi entrare nella directory del sorgente ed utilizzare uno dei tools di configurazione che sono forniti: make config ti permette di configurare il kernel in modalita' testo facendoti una serie di domande in successione. La scomodita' e' che non puoi piu' tornare indietro a modificare le risposte che hai gia' dato ma devi uscire e rifare tutto dall'inizio. make menuconfig ti permette di ottenere lo stesso risultato ma attraverso una serie di menu dentro i quali ti puoi muovere liberamente avanti ed indietro. make xconfig e' praticamente identico a make menuconfig ma gira sotto xwindows e ti propone una serie di finestre in stile x con le varie opzioni da abilitare e configurare. Io ti consiglierei make xconfig: e' semplice e comodo da usare. Tutte le opzioni di compilazione contengono un help che ti spiega a grandi linee a cosa servono e ti danno dei suggerimenti. Una volta configurato il sistema, puoi compilare il tutto con make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install. Questa riga di comando esegue in successione tutte queste operazioni: dep - verifica le dipendenze, cioe' che tutto quello che serve alla compilazione sia installato sul sistema. clean - pulisce i residui di eventuali precedenti compilazioni bzImage - e' la compilazione vera e propria, che creera' il kernel, cioe' file bzImage nella directory /usr/src/kernel/arch/i386/boot. modules - se nella fase di configurazione hai scelto di utilizzare i moduli, in questo step i moduli vengono compilati. I moduli sono delle porzioni di kernel che puoi scegliere di racchiudere in files separati dal kernel vero e proprio (il files bzImage). Questi moduli verranno caricati in memoria automaticamente dal kernel quando ce ne sara' bisogno e verranno automaticamente scaricati quando non serviranno piu'. Per fare un paragone con il mondo windows si possono avvicinare piu' o meno alle dll. I puristi storceranno il naso per la mia descrizione dei moduli, ma dovrebbe rendere l'idea ;). modules_install - installa i moduli nelle opportune directory all'interno di /lib/modules/versione del kernel. L'ultima operazione da fare e' installare il kernel sul sistema. Se hai la Mandrake puoi usare LILO, che ti consente di scegliere, al momento del boot, il kernel che vuoi avviare e ti permette cosi' di mantenere anche il vecchio e funzionante kernel installato: se il nuovo kernel dovesse avere dei problemi puoi sempre riavviare il PC con il vecchio kernel che -di norma- dovrebbe continuare a funzionare come sempre. Per installare il nuovo kernel fresco di compilazione devi copiare i files /usr/src/kernel/arch/i386/boot/bzImage e /usr/src/kernelSystem.map nella directory /boot. Ti consiglio di rinominarli aggiungendo al fondo la versione del kernel. Quindi devi modificare il file /etc/lilo.conf per aggiungere il nuovo kernel (basta copiare le opzioni relative al kernel gia' installato e modificarle in modo da puntare al nuovo kernel). Dopo queste modifiche lancia lilo e riavvia. Questo a grandi linee e' tutto. Se ti va di provare (sempre che non trovi la soluzione diversamente), compilare il kernel e' interessante ed e' una soddisfazione. Se ti servono consigli o delucidazioni fammi sapere. Posso ancora consigliarti di leggere gli howto per la compilazione del kernel e per LILO, che sono molto dettagliati. In bocca al lupo. Steo.

Re: [newbie] Any hope for Java on Linux?
Dear Dr. Evil, I too have installed Sun's jdk1.3.1 on Mandrake 8.0, and I use it every day to write software in Java. As long as you set up the appropriate environment variables (namely PATH and CLASSPATH), you shouldn't have any trouble writing, compiling, and running Java programs. If you would like more details on how I set up my environment to support Java development, I would be more than happy to share them with you. Just send me a reply, and I will help you unravel the Java mysteries... By the way, it is my humble opinion that getting the environment configured correctly is at least half the battle in learning how to program in Java. It's not always intuitive at first, and it's definitely easier to get started if you have the help of someone who has already set things up before on several different OS's. And yes, compiled Java classes are truly portable across OS's without recompiling (with a few exceptions like Java Native Interface API and multi-threaded programs). Hope this helps you want to try again. Please contact me if you would like help getting Java set up on your Mandrake box. Mike --- Dr. Evil [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It seems very difficult to get the Linux java stuff working.

I downloaded the Sun JDK, and installed it in /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/, and then set Konqueror's java to /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/bin/java. Now Konq shows java applets just fine.

RE: [newbie] KDM, XDM, GDM???
KDM, XDM GDM are all display managers. They permit both local and remote X windows sessions to occur and provide client support (the remote is the server in X, parlance). If you have two Linux boxes running any of the above it is possible to log into a remote machine's X-Windows using the local server. While the programs are executed remotely, the local display handles interpreting the graphics primitives, etc. so execution is quite fast over a network. By enabling the chooser on one or more machines, you would be presented with a list of available computers on your local network that can handle XDM logins... In addition using server software such as Exceed, you can log into your Linux box via a Lan and use it graphically as if you were sitting on the console... This is done via XDMCP. Now someone PLEASE tell me how to enable the chooser in 8.0. I had no trouble getting it to work on 7.2, but in 8.0 I am unable to get the chooser to display. I'm stuck with the user logins and nothing else. -JMS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Robert MacLean Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2001 3:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] KDM, XDM, GDM???

Hello Doug,
You need to edit the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop, and change the entry

RE: [newbie] help hurry
Do you use LILO? If so, boot linux with a parameter of MEM=64M. This will force the kernel to only use the first 64 meg of memory. If it boots OK, you probably have a bad ram board or similar. If you use GRUB, then do whatever you need to do to append the above MEM= line. Try swapping the memory boards around. Make a difference? Take the new memory board out, entirely. Do that change anything? Take the old board out and replace it with the new one. Does that change anything? I'd be suspecting a bad memory chip on your new 64 meg module... don't forget that the POST of the memory the BIOS does purely checks to see if it's all there - if you have a flaky chip it won't be detected by the POST, but you will get random crashes in any OS which tries to use it.

Re: [newbie] kdm not starting KDE
Hi Bill and s srlinuxx,
Thank you both. Both solutions worked like a charm.
I don't know why kcontrol comes with 'kde' by default if it needs 'KDE' but anyway
all is well.
As for s srlinuxx's solution, what I did was change /etc/X11/prefdm from

. /etc/sysconfig/desktop /dev/null 21
[ -n $DISPLAYMANAGER ] DESKTOP=$DISPLAYMANAGER
if [ $DESKTOP = GNOME -o $DESKTOP = Gnome ]; then
preferred=gdm
elif [ $DESKTOP = KDE -o $DESKTOP = KDE1 -o $DESKTOP = KDE2
]; then
preferred=/usr/bin/kdm
elif [ $DESKTOP = AnotherLevel ] ; then
preferred=/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm
fi
fi
to
preferred=gdm
#if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then
# . /etc/sysconfig/desktop /dev/null 21
# [ -n $DISPLAYMANAGER ] DESKTOP=$DISPLAYMANAGER
# if [ $DESKTOP = GNOME -o $DESKTOP = Gnome ]; then
# preferred=gdm
# elif [ $DESKTOP = KDE -o $DESKTOP = KDE1 -o $DESKTOP = KDE2
]; then
# preferred=/usr/bin/kdm
# elif [ $DESKTOP = AnotherLevel ] ; then
#preferred=/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm
# fi
#fi
I realize this breaks the flexibility for auto configuring the login manager, but it
did work!
Thank you.

My problem is this.
kdm won't start KDE, it always starts icewm. Any ideas or solutions
as to how I can fix kdm to start KDE. To note: I can log in via init 3
and startx will properly load KDE. Also from init 3 I can run as root
xdm or gdm from command line and both will start KDE properly, however
I don't know how to get gdm or xdm to start by default on init 5? I
have tried the gdm configurator but on a reboot kdm returns.
Hello Doug,
You need to edit the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop, and change the entry
from KDE to GNOME. This will then start gdm instead of kdm.

File: message.footer All, I have a Linux Mandrake (8.0) box with 2 ethernet cards - one to my ISP, the other to my home network, where the machines run Windows 98. The LM8.0 box does very basic IP masquerading for the other computers. I've had a wonderfully easy time with it to date, but now need to reach out to this community for help. When using NetMeeting on a W98 box, the other party can hear us OK, but we can't hear them. However, chat works fine. Same thing with MSN messenger: text chatting works fine, but Talk fails to connect. However, when that W98 box is directly connected to the cable modem (i.e. not through the Linux box), I can get sound both ways! Interestingly, 2 W98 boxes on the home network communicate great with each other - sound AND video - even successfully using the directory to find each other! So, the only thing that seems to stop NetMeeting and MSN Messenger sound working properly appears to be the Linux box. I have no firewalling in place (I plan to, once I figure all this out!). No Bastille running, only 1 rule in iptables - the one to get masquerading going with NAT. I also know that the ISP hasn't got a firewall in place, as I've checked with them (plus it works directly connected!). What am I missing? I assume that all packets in and out the cable modem are passed through untouched (other than IP address), so port handling and other communication details should be handled by the W98 boxes. Of course, the IP address NetMeeting shows behind LM8.0 as a 192.168 etc. address, but (not sure of nomenclature) I understood that iptables changes that when it does the masquerading? I've tried putting in port entries in /etc/services as per various obscure MS support pages I've managed to find. I've looked at the xinetd man page, but can't figure out what service I'd need to set up to enable this. And as I said, I thought that with masquerading, packets get passed through unless there's a rule saying not to. Any help, guidance, etc. would be greatly appreciated. I've been having a great time dusting off my old Unix skills, but I have to admit that TCP/IP networking is an area that's a black art to me. Keen to learn, though (which is the point, huh!)

Re: [newbie] Resending question 2
When you downloaded the drivers, did the download include source code? If so, you should find a file under the directory where the source was installed called INSTALL or sometimes INSTALL.unx. Read that file to find out how to rebuild dsp.a for your kernel version. If the download did not come with source, go back to the site where you downloaded the drivers and see if source is available. The file dsp.a is a non-sharable binary. You'll likely need to recompile it for your kernel.

RE: [newbie] How do I test my NIC?
Thanks Charles the result from cat /proc/pci is what looks like four entries. None of them are a NIC and none of them are using IRQ 10. This NIC is an ISA device. Earlier I tried another (newer) 3Com 3c905 instead of this 3c509. I was just installing the system then and it prevented the second stage install from completing. Plus, the bundled drivers don't appear to include the 3c905. I am trying to scrounge up this machine but if a new NIC is the answer, that's not too bad. Thoughts?

[newbie] SMTP and POP3 Mandrake 8
I'm not new to Linux but am new to Mandrake and had some questions on a recent install. I have a Mandrake 8 box that is behind a RH 7.1 firewall using iptables. I've set up iptables to forward smtp and pop3 to my Mdk 8 box. It is working but not so well. I've noticed that if I telnet to port 25 or 110 it takes at least 30 seconds before I get the smtp or pop3 prompt. From what I've seen other places and with other packages I've used in the past (non-linux) this response should be instant. What is the problem here? Also, I'm using the built in pop3d (I believe it is ipop3d) that came with Mdk 8. I notice when doing a telnet to port 110 and get the pop3 prompt it says localhost.localdomain. I've looked several places and can't see where to configure pop3. Where do I configure it? Here is my setup. I have a 1MB dedicated connection to the internet. This goes to a 10baseT hub that is then connect to my RH 7.1 box with a 10baseT NIC for the internet and a 100baseT NIC for the internal network. The RH box has 64mb of RAM and is a Pentium 166. The Mdk 8 box is a Duron 650 with 384mb of RAM. It has a 100baseT NIC connected to a 100baseT switch for the internal network. Any suggestions on what the fix is to these problems will be greatly appreciated. Thanks -- Brian Blater mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Having a schedule in mind is good if you are alone. As soon as you have customers, you need to pull your schedules out of your mind. And as soon as you are on the stock market, you have to keep the schedule public and stick to it. It will be ready when it is ready. What about releasing it the 3rd Thursday of November? You launch it the same day as Beaujolais Nouveau, and as a marketing campaign, you offer 1 (or more) bottle(s) of Beaujolais Nouveau to all the customers who order it on that day. For American customers, I think Beauolais Nouveau is called Coca Cola over there, so 1 can will be fine. Civileme Well, beside that, 8.1. is great. I have just started using it.
