[newbie-it] Riconoscimento scheda di rete
Ciao a tutti, ho da qualche settimana installato Linux, per la prima volt, Mandrake 8.0 it. Nella fase di riconoscimento dell'hardware: con Hardrake se non mi ricordo male, non mi ha riconosciuto la scheda di rete, che compare nella voce del ?. Andando a vedere i dettagli c'è scritto che la scheda non è stata riconosciuta e di inviare il mesaggio col codice prodotto alla mandrake. Nel dischetto della scheda di rete una D-Link DFE-538TX Fast Ethernet c'è una directory linux con dei files che dovrebbero essere i drivers in codice sorgente (con estensione .c) da compilare in base a quanto ho letto nel readme.txt Ma la domanda è: come si fa? dato che mi dice che devo compilarli in /usr/src/linux e non ho la directory linux ma RPM? Ringrazio anticipatamente chi mi risponderà. Alessandro

[newbie-it] Problema con Modem esterno + GPA
Ciao a tutti! Innanzitutto scusate scrivo con Outlook Express e non con Kmail, ma come capirete fra un po' ho un problemino da risolvere, anzi due. -- 1° PROBLEMA: Sono andato sul sito di GPG e mi son scaricato GPA. Sono riuscito ad installarlo ed a importare tutte le mie chiavi pubbliche da PGP 7.0.3 di Windows. Solo che ora ho un altro problema: come faccio ad importare la mia chiave privata? Da PGP 7.0.3 mi sono esportato il file *.asc con la mia chiave pubblica e privata, solo che quando faccio importa in GPA riesce solo ad importarmi la mia chiave pubblica. Per la chiave privata come devo fare? Non vorrei dovermi ricreare da capo le chiavi!!! Come si dovrebbe fare con GPG? --- 2°PROBLEMA Un mio amico che ha installato Linux da poco tempo ha un modem esterno che non riesce a far funzionare. Queste sono le caratteristiche che mi ha spedito: Nome: EXTERNAL MODEM V.90 and K56Flex Ready 56000 bps (N.B. Windows lo riconosce come: Motorola 56k Data Fax Voice PnP Mc143450rdk) Marca: ThunderCom (sito internet: www.thundercomhld.com) Caratteristiche tecniche: - Modello 56Mx, Modem esterno 56000 bps; - Standards: V.80, V.90 ready, V.34, V.32bis, V.32, V.22bis, V.22A/B, V.23, V.21; - Correzione errore e compressione dati: V.42LAPM, MNP 2-4, MNP 10, V.42bis, MNP 5; - Protocolli Fax: 14400 bps, ITU-T V.17, V.29, V.27ter, V.21 Group 3, Class 1; - Interfaccia: RS 232; - Velocità in linea: 300 - 56000 bps; - Velocità del DTE: 300 - 115200 bps; - Comandi AT estesi. Il modem dà segnali di vita, solo che si blocca appena comincia a comporre il numero e dice che la linea è occupata. Interrogando il modem sembra tutto ok. Qualcuno sa come risolvere il problema? - Grazie 1000 a chiunque avrà la pazienza di rispondermi!!! Scusate. Sergio
[newbie-it] Linux
Un saluto a tutti. Visto che sono nuovo, due righe. Mi chiamo Pierre, vivo a Ferrara, e' da tre anni che uso computer ed ho cominciato per caso ed anche un po' per scelta sul lavoro con Apple. Mai avuto esperienze Win od altro prima. Attratto dalla filosofia Open Source e dalla gratuita' ho installato da poco la Mandrake 8.0 per PPC su di un PowerBook della Apple Computer, un G3 Pismo 400 Mhz, 10 GB di hard disk tripartito (due per Mac OS in HFS+ ed una per Linux, ognuna di 3,1 giga, in quella di Linux c'e anche una piccola partizione di scambio formattata in HFS di 140 MB). Mi si presentano due problemi: 1- le impostazioni della tastiera non cambiano, di default rimane qualsiasi scelta io faccia dal Centro di Controllo quella che sembra essere una tastiera US, io ho una tastiera Italiana Mac (razza strana - qwerty, i numeri vanno battuti premendo shift) potete notare che mi ci sto' abituando, ma correggere ogni volta e dover pensare dove sia la M la W e la Z, i vari segni di punteggiatura e caratteri non e' divertente alla lunga. 2- non riesco a stampare, ho una Epson 870 Stylus Photo USB, ho trovato i driver in Linux, ho specificato come porta USB, ma niente non riesce a stampare la pagina di prova anche aspettando per un po'. Altre specifiche sul PowerBook: Processore 400 mhz Scheda Video ATI Rage 128 RAM installata 384 MB Modem interno 56 K V.90 (funziona in Linux) Due porte USB una ha collegato il mouse (funziona in Linux) l'altra un Hub Usb a cui ho collegato: un TA ISDN della DrayTek(non ancora testato) uno scanner Canon 1220 U(non ancora testato) la stampante Epson Stylus Photo 870 (non funziona) Due porte Fire Wire Ethernet 10/100 Tbase Piu' altre uscite di cui non conosco bene le specifiche (suono, S/video, duplicazione monitor, IRDA, ...)

So far I've written 25 odd CD's and only had 1 coffee cup holder, and that was due to windows more than the writer. Everything works with it. Also I found that some of the new CD-RW's won't read or write in older CD Writers's read and write perfectly in this one. AOpen CD writers are actually Ricoh cd writers, AOpen simply rebrands them.

Re: [newbie] Linux on iMac (ppc)
Hi, The ISO image you downloaded should be bootable already, you don't have to do anything extra to make it bootable, other than hold down the c key to force the Mac to boot from CD. So simply burn the ISO image to a cd, using Toaster or similar, and reboot with CD 1 in the drive. Steve. I have recently purchased a new iMAC and i would like to install Mandrake on it to to be a local file intranet and file server. I got the iso images of mandrake distribution but unfortunately I do not know how to create a bootable CD under MAC OS 9.1 (i got a cdrw). Please if you know of any proggy that can make my life easier let me know :) Thank you in advance and all your opinions and suggestions are welcome.

[newbie] Buy ML best way? Install updates? desktops?
Good Day to everyone, I did a half ass install as a dual O/S. Then the three stooges (root, user, admin =ME) deleted all hda's and did a proper install. BIG DIFFERENCE! After years of working at a job where I had to be compatible with them, and no longer having the job, I went to a local store - LM8 was purchased. #1 - The local store is a large chain, if I am buying and it helps Linux out I would think this method- large chain store- would be the least effective. Is there a better way or am I thinking wrong? #2 - I haven't even had the little guy for a month and already he has grown to 8.1. If I wish to purchase the CD's, well, will I need to redo every thing again or will it just be certain updates, or just let my-man-drake do it or. . . . . Possible site that tells what is updated? Please. I don't know if it is out of respect or fear I am afraid to play with him. So unlike me. #3 - Is there a recycle / reuse for the older version of the CD's? (contact - www.MiniFrisbee.org??? or do I frame them under glass and hang on the wall?) #4 - I want two desktops, with each containing it's own different programs, yet they may perform the same function. An example would be- Netscape in one and a different browser/e-mail in another. Would this create a conflict Twit = Netscape - when used in the NON LX O/S. (If Netscape is used on the desktop in an HTML function non e-mail it changes the plain text mode in e-mail v 4.7?) It also persistently asks how would you like this sent even when it is set for plain text.) Sorry if anybody got hit. I believe I did, and I know who. I was unaware of this happening as I just downloaded my textbook, and was reading, following the links etc. Oh well no more, that's fine. I have not found an acceptable replacement.

One way just puts a copy of the iso file on the CD (which will not be bootable), the other way burns it so it is a duplicate of the original CD (or whatever) -- individual files are accessible, and the disk is bootable. I'm not sure of the proper terminology, or of the proper way to do it in all programs. In Easy CD-Creator, under Windows, you must use the menu choice Create CD from disc image and then specify the proper image file.

Re: [newbie] forwarding mail w postfix, procmail fetchmail -woe is this newbie
Hi!Using postfix, procmail fetchmail on Mandrake 8.0 I got fetchmail to poll other addresses and to ostensibly forward mail to another account. Fetchmail polls successfully but the following code in .procmailrc doesn't seem to do the trick: :0 H *^From.*Janet@uvic\.ca ! somemailaddress.com So fetchmail polls Janet at the uvic.ca account and successfully finds mail (when it is, in fact there). Then procmail ought to send the mail snagged to Janet. IF I ASK procmail to forward internal mail to an internal account it is happy to do so and everything is perfect. If I ask procmail to forward mail polled from elsewhere, it seems to send it off into cyberspace somewhere because the mail disappears off the server, is announced to me, and then is gone forever. External forwards do not work for me. I have a feeling that the problem is a lack of consistency of settings between postfix, procmail and fetchmail. For example in the documentation I noted something in postfix about the prepend_delivered_header with a setting of command, file, forward. However I didn't fully understand the explanation of this and whether it would bear on my problem. Any suggestions? Thankx! -warren Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] downloading installing
I have not once, with the exception of files on the CDs, been able to download and install files without difficulty. Partly, it has simply been because I didn't know how, but it seems that even when I try to build on my painfully acquire experience, or follow the directions given (which seem to vary from one to the next) it never works. I've even found that half of the RPMs I try don't work (tell me that the file already exists when it doesn't). The latest is a plug-in for audio and vidio streaming called Plugger. I downloaded it and printed out the instructions for re-compile (make), install in your own directory and install globally. Make returns a message that says its not necessary. cp plugger.so to my directory seems to work (although I'm not sure, I simply did not get any error from the command line after doing it). But when I try to read files on the Web, it still tells me that I need this file in order to view.

Re: [newbie] downloading installing
Hello; When you installed your Linux did you include the development tools? When you download the software I found that you must have a fast and reliable connection. Then you need to make sure that you download inst.iso (the installer) and the ext.iso (the extensions for the development). Using and FTP would be your best bet. That may explain some of the problems you are having. And with rpm are you trying to install from the command line? Try it from the GUI it will give you a list of what you have installed and what you don't. It will also tell you what support files you need for that program. Try that until you get the hang of the command line. Hope this helped a little. I know how frustrating it can get. I've had lots of practice ;-) So keep trying and don't give up.

Did He Fortell The Tragedy? I have been inundated with email telling me that Nostradamus predicted the tragedy of the World Trade Center AND The Pentagon. Its pretty fascinating stuff (our sister company PulseTV.com even sells a video about him... see below) and I found myself surfing around the Internet trying to find out more about his prophecies. I came upon this site. It's nothing fancy, but seems to have the most comprehensive collection of his quatrains. Check it out by visiting: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/nostradamus a href=http://www.faqs.org/faqs/nostradamus;Nostradamus/a --- !!! Read Quatrain from Nostradamus, and then see the VIDEO !!! In the year of the new century and nine months, from the sky will come a great king of terror. The sky will burn at 45 degrees...fire approaches the great new city...there will be thunder. Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures. The great leader will succumb. The third big war will begin when the city is burning. Nostradamus NY is on the 45th parallel. Two brothers - Twin towers? The Fortress - The Pentagon? Will this video let YOU see tomorrow?

I believe it was written by a Canadian college student in the 90s, doing a paper on Nostradamus. He was trying to point out that the predictions are so vague you can make them mean anything. Case in point, he drafted this one as part of his paper and used it to prove various events in the past. most all predictions are vague. knowledge of exactness could be very dangerous. You can go to www.ulrc.com.au for more information. i would like to hotlink http://www.ulrc.com.au to see what you are referencing. a deeper link would be nice. being that you know what and where what you recall is and i do not, how about checking further. may be a few others, who are interested, but do not have time to spend looking. ;) Joe On Wednesday 26 September 2001 07:53 pm, you wrote: tho he may have said, In the year of the new century and nine months, from the sky will [[ see quote above ]] when the city is burning. -- Nostradamus g .
