Re: [newbie-it] alcune domande

Magari sto per dire una corbelleria, ma mi pareva di aver letto da qualche parte (forse in una risposta in questa mailing list) che Linux contiene già un programmino che, girando in background quando il PC non è utilizzato, si occupa di spegnere parzialmente la CPU, mettendola a riposo e riducendo così consumi e calore...

[newbie-it] ancora sulla mia 8.0
Salve a tutti ed in particolare a Guido e a .:enn! (grazie per avermi risposto!) Sono Massimiliano con la Mandrake 8.0 che gira lenta. In effetti potrebbe essere un problema di display manager, vedrò di approfondire con le varie guide (che su linux devo dire proprio non scarseggiano) la questione e cercherò di farti sapere qualcosa al più presto. Io comunque avevo una macronix mx 86251 wodoo rush (3dfx) da 4 mega ma purtoppo non essendo supportata ho preferito sostituirla con una Matrox mystique a 2 mega recuperata da un'amico. Con la prima (non supportata) non ho avuto alcun problema d'istallazione. Tutto ok lancio di aurora in forma grafica molto bella, però, avviato kde e vari tutto gira lento e come se i programmi divenissero terribilmente pesanti per il mio pc. Tu dirai allora ma perchè l'hai sostiuita..per 2 motivi: 1) Lo schermo non era fluido ma aveva movimenti a scatti che mi disturbavano non poco sopratutto nello scrolling delle pagine. 2) Lo sfarfallio del monitor a 59 Hz che mi da fastidio. Inutile anche cambiare monitor da mandrake control center oltre a 60 Hz non ho trovato nulla. Con la seconda scheda grafica ( la Matrox mystique da 2 mega) ho avuto qualche problema di istallazione'infatti finito di istallare non mi lanciava aurora in forma grafica ma mi avviava kde con un avvio in formato testo (pratico ma un po' obsoleto)a ciò ho posto rimedio con la modalità esperta settando per aurora non la risoluzione normal ma quella che preferisco (800x 600). I problemi però non sono finiti infatti ho dovuto cambiare il monitor sempre da Mandrake control center perchè a 85 Hz e a 75 Hz si formano sulle linee dritte dei contorni pieghettati (mai vista una cosa di queste). Mi piacerebbe andare con un refresh + alto però l'unico che mi consente di vedere correttamente le immagini e solo il refresh a 60,21 Hz. Per rispondere a .:enn ho notato una cosa insolita All avvio init non riesce a volte a far partire nei tempi dovuti Harddrake mentre numlock o qaulcosa di simile mi fallisce sempre. Tutto ciò avviene con aurora ossia in modalità grafica se lo faccio partire in modalità non grafica tutto fila liscio. Anche lo swap mi sembra eccessivo. BoooH Nel frattempo io mi leggo i manuali e le riviste su Linux Speriamo che la lettura mi aiuti Se avete qualche dritta rispondetemi Un Bacione grosso a tutti Massimiliano Scandurra

Re: [newbie-it] La mia mandrake 8.0 gira lenta
Anche io ho lo stesso problema. Mi pare di aver capito che ci sia un problema tra kdm (KDE Display Manager) e i drivers della mia scheda video (Voodoo3 2000 AGP). Una soluzione potrebbe essere istallare un altro dispay manager tipo gdm ma non so come fare Se qualcuno ci puo aiutare ! Tu che scheda video hai ? Guido Il 17:54, domenica 30 settembre 2001, hai scritto: Salve a tutti! Ho installato la Mandrake 8.0 trovata su chip special, è veramente facile da installare però a tuttora non riesco a capire perchè gira così lenta e come mai ci mette moltissimo per aprire qualunque programma.

Re: [newbie] Default desktop?
I have a problem that I didn't solve yet. It's not a problem specific to version 8.1, but an overall linux question. I've disabled Aurora and I don't load directly into x-window, because my Pentium 166 is a little slow for that. On the other hand, I just do a startx when I need to do some work under the gui. By default, KDE is the desktop that is loaded. How can I change that, so that Gnome gets loaded instead (Gnome is much faster than KDE on my computer)? If resources and speed are a problem then don't run either KDE or Gnome. Both are big and unwieldy, you would be better off running either WindowMaker or Enlightenment, so both of these are MUCH smaller and faster than the 2 goliaths. Steve.

[newbie] KMail locks up and I KILL it

My question is recently KMail is been giving me trouble.

I use the KILL to shut it off. My question which is more out of curiosity rather than answer to my problem. When I KILL KMail after it locks up why can't I relaunch it without having to reboot?

Re: [newbie] Webmin
And keep in mind Marcia. If you've changed your root passwd from what it was at install, you will have to use the root passwd that you used AT install. You may also have to edit the /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf to make it work. Depending on if SSL is compiled and installed, or configured. You may need to change the line that reads ssl=1 you may need to set that to ssl=0 to get that to come up. After you do that, restart the webmin and you should be good to go. I really only use webmin to use the ssh module. I set it up so my user can log in, and then only use the Java ssh module on Windows machines that don't have a ssh client. tdh -- T.

Hi all, I have something of a major problem on my web server...

So I am now lost as to find out why its not running... I heard in the newbie list had a problem with SSL which I am not using... and that they would be removed,, that was over a week ago, and since the RPM's were there when I ran it last night, I assumed that the problem had been fixed anyway.. Now I can't even find out why I can't get it working... nothing in /var/log/httpd (there isn't even an error_log) there is nothing useful showing up in syslog or messages either.. how can I find out whats stoppin it from running?? I am sort of desperate here The RPM's that were updated are: apache-1.3.20-3.1mdk.i586.rpm apache-manual-1.3.20-3.1mdk.i586.rpm apache-common-1.3.20-3.1mdk.i586.rpm apache-mod_perl-1.3.20_1.24-3.1mdk.i586.rpm apache-devel-1.3.20-3.1mdk.i586.rpm apache-mod_perl-devel-1.3.20_1.24-3.1mdk.i586.rpm apache-suexec-1.3.20-3.1mdk.i586.rpm I need to know how to find out what the problem is... I have removed and reinstalled them several times now, in an effort to fix the problem,, neither the default settings that the rpm's installed or my backup copy of http.conf will get apache working. httpd-perl starts fine.. can anyone give me any pointers here??? kindest regards Frank Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Starting Ximian Gnome from Login Manager
that's because it runs a file with the name of the session. these files are located in the xdm or the gdm folder (i don't remember and i'm in windows at the moment). if it doesn't find the file, it runs the default wm which is icewm. what you have to do is to make a script that starts gnome, name it Gnome and put it in the gdm folder (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/gdm , i think). the script should look like this: #!/bin/sh gnome-session save it and make it executable: chmod +x ./Gnome that's all (plz someone correct me if i'm wrong, which is quite possible). mik - Original Message - From: Alex K [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2001 11:54 PM Subject: [newbie] Starting Ximian Gnome from Login Manager Hello, I installed KDE 221 on my LM8 box.

RE: [newbie] virus attacks, etc
ok, you could start with portsentry, (it comes with you mandrake disks.. it will listen for portscans and dynamically add them to your firewall rules... it also logs attempts... If you want to go further, you can get snort, which monitors interfaces for traffic and compares what it finds to updatable rules... and it has many possible means of notifying you of what it finds.. and if you use it with guardian it can respond in kind... Snort is the best possible answer, but its not a GUI setup (snort.org) and it uses alot of CPU time examing all packets... prelude is that mandrake 8.1 comes with I believe.. it is similiar in design to snort, except it appears to be modularised, and can read snort and other rules by inserting modules.. from what I can tell, the main benefit of prelude is that it can be used with clusters of servers to spread the load.. as you can see, this is a fairly high end solution... that should give you a start.. also, if you have an existing list of firewall rules, just adding -l to the end of them, will result in them loggin deny's or drops to syslog which if you install logcheck (also on you CD's), it will scan the logs, put anything relivent in an email and ship it to you good stuff.. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of David Robertson Sent: Monday, 1 October 2001 11:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] virus attacks, etc Hi You hear so much now about hackers, probing, etc while connected to the net.

Re: [newbie] linux for sony ps2?
M$ are trying to enter console the market with brute force -- by selling a
machine which they can flog as being more powerful than the PS2. In reality, it
isn't as powerful as MS say it is (since it isn't as optimised for gaming as the
PS2), but people will _believe_ it is much more powerful because it has a 833MHz
CPU in comparison to Sony's 300MHz chip. What really matters is the quality of
games that are released. The market has been littered over time with instances
of technically 'inferior' products winning-out over 'superior' ones. The console
market is a prime example of this. Anybody remember the Neo-Geo or the 3DO? They
were 32-bit machines which were released years before Sega, Nintendo and Sony
brought out their offerings, yet they never caught on. The Sega MegaDrive
('Genisis' in the USA) and the Sony PlayStation became more popular than their
Nintendo counterparts ('SuperNES'/'Super Famicon' and Nintendo 64,
respectively), despite being less powerful.
Sony, it should be noted, isn't exactly an underdog here. They are also a
massive company, and they have made content deals with AOL Time Warner for the
PS2. They _specialise_ in the entertainment and home electronics industries, and
they already have a very strong development and consumer base (being a Japanese
company really helps here). They have had a huge head-start over M$, and they
are actively developing the PS3 for release in 2002 (so they have a backup in
the unlikely event that the XBox cleans up).
M$ will find _some_ success, but I seriously doubt whether they'll beat the PS2.
With their high manufacturing costs (I believe they're selling XBoxes at half
cost-price) and marketing costs (around $US500 million this year), I also doubt
whether they'll actually manage to make a profit out of this. However, I'm sure
that they've considered this factor (Bill's not stupid), and they have some
$US30 billion in the bank to fall back on should they need it (and they will).
IMHO, the _real_ competition will occur with the next generation of consoles.
Both the PS3 (http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/archive/16254.html) and the
XBox2 (http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/54/21536.html) aim to be true home
entertainment devices, and not simply games machines with a few extras bolted
on.

Re: Re: [newbie] linux for sony ps2?
I remember the Neo-Geo. The main reason it didn't catch on was because it was
hideously expensive. If I remember correctly it cost almost $1000 when it first came
out and games were around $150-200 each.
One very important thing to consider in speculation over the success or failure of the
X-Box is that it will be very easy to port PC (Windows) games to the X-box and
vice-versa. This will certianly be very appealing to game companies.
Personally, I hope Sony lowers the cost of the PS/2 to compete with the X-box. I need
to get a new DVD player soon and if I can get a PS/2 for a reasonable price I might
get one instead.

Re: [newbie] installs don't run
That's why it's so important to read the install instructions, ESPECIALLY in a tar.gz. To run the installation script: 1. Change to the directory containing the installation script. If you are installing Acrobat Reader from a CD-ROM, change to the appropriate directory on the CD-ROM. 2. Start the installation script. The filename of the script may be uppercase or lowercase depending on your system for example: # ./INSTALL 3. Follow the instructions that appear on your screen. This isn't one of those ./configure make make install sort of installs. They have their own install script, that goes through and does the install for you, you just have to execute it. So as root, type: ./INSTALL This would be in the ILINXR.install directory that the tar.gz creates. The above is in the INSTGUID.TXT that's in the directory. It's near the bottom, but it's in there. Make sure you find something like that in a README or some sort of *.txt file when you're installing software from source. There are often added things you will have to do, to get the software to work. So head to that directory now, and then use the directions above. From there, I would create an alias, or a sym-link since it puts the app in a weird folder. (/usr/local/Acrobat4/bin/acroread) tdh -- T.

Re: [newbie] Aurora
As to the idea of it being to keep Windoze users happy by not showing the screen of text, if it bothers them that much then why are they installing a Unix based OS? They are likely to see much more scary things if they have to play with config files and such. Steve. I've mentioned before that I have made some boxen for my mom and grandparents using Mandrake. It works great and I get to automate a lot of tasks and hide some system stuff that they don't need to be worried about. Aurora is great for them. Actually, it really was part of getting them excited about Linux. The normal boot up sequence can be unnerving if they are already worried about somehow breaking the computer. :) Plus, for people like my mom (a little more computer savvy than my gramps but who loves colors) the eye-candy is much appreciated. -Paul Rodríguez _ Do You Yahoo!?

But is it possible? You betcha! A few words of caution first: You must chose an already empty partition. There is no easy way to preserve any existing data. Also, you are limited to four primary partitions per hard drive. This is a hardware thing, not a Windows or Linux thing. Again, for the sake of preserving your existing data if you're unsure of anything-- any doubt at all, abort before you commit your changes. There is lots of documentation out there about preparing your partitions for Linux. Try a search on Google for 'Linux Partition HOWTO'. Do an install in Expert mode. When you get to the point where you're selecting the your primary Linux partition, click the 'Type' button and you get a bunch of options, below the drop-down list of partition formats is another drop-down list that lets you chose between 'Primary' or 'Extended'.

Re: [newbie] Kernel Panic:VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05
Hi, Thanks for your response and advice. I only have 2 partitions in my hard disc, the native and the swap. I am sure I have added a mount point / to the native partition. Pls try this pls add a linux native with mount point /boot so you can divide your boot partition to your original mount point / Kindly explain how to add /boot to the native partition. Is it to add a boot partition on the hard disc, making 3 partitions, boot, native and swap and thereafter adding a mount point / to the boot partition ? How about the native partition whether a mount point / is still necessary ? Thanks in advance. B.Regards Stephen Liu which you originaly configured so it will not conflivt with your existing linux native. then dont forget to add a swap partition.

Re: [newbie] Kernel Panic:VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05
Dear Sir Stephen Lui before adding a / linux native root partition just add first a native partition /boot with 5MB needed then after press add again for the swap partion your swap partion must be 2x your memory so for example you have 64mB memory your swap partion must be at least 128MB. then add your / root pation then add an asterisk to Grow to fill this disk this will install your all your linux program in there Thanks and Good Luck!

Re: [newbie] MODEMS vs Winmodems
You've actually missed the point about winmodems. It's not that they need a driver to work (If they'll work at all). The problem with them is that they shift the work that normally done by the modem, over to the main system processor, thus sucking valuable CPU cycles. They're parasitic by design, trash the blood suckers, and buy a real modem that does it's own work. Ric Arthur H. Johnson II wrote: Here here! Good post! I have a Lucent and it works Awesome on my Duron 800 at home. It even worked decently find with 166 and 200 Pentiums. Some of us have lives and need to pinch pennies. On Fri, 28 Sep 2001, Joseph Braddock wrote: There sure is a lot of talk about modems and winmodems on this list. At times it sounds like a religious argument! But, I think we do a diservice to people by telling them to run out and buy a true modem whenever they pose a question about a winmodem. While it is true that a real modem (external or internal) is usually easier to setup/install. The fact is that many of these people already have the winmodem in their formerly Windows machines. Winmodems can be a good choice, particularly for the cost concious. I know that not all winmodems work with Linux, but many based on Lucent or PCTel chipsets do. The only problem is that you have to install a driver (usually open-source) for them. If having to install the driver is what causes a problem in recommending them, well, then, we better quit using NVida and most other graphic cards, numerous other IO adapters and the like. Ironically, for people coming from Windows, having to install a driver for a winmodem isn't a show stopper, since most winmodems need drivers installed under windows. (Now compiling the driver, etc. might be intimidating). I guess, what I'm trying to say is that if someone request help in choosing what kind of modem to purchase, buy all means, recommend a hardware modem. But if someone states they have such and such a modem and need help installing it, telling them to go out an buy another modem doesn't answer their question and really isn't of much help.

Re: [newbie] staroffice62 install and print
Does your Linux box have a printer installed? If so, \then your startoffice should be able to print. About the multi users: Install it as root with ./setup /net, and install into somewhere like /usr/local/share/staroffice or something. Then as each user, you will have to go into the directory of staroffice and execute the setup file in the /usr/local/share/staroffice/programs/ dir. The rest should go easily. It sahould install confiog files of about 1.5 MB in each users directory that executes the setup.
