[newbie-it] Connessione ad Internet KO
Salve a tutti, ho un problema che mi sta assillando da qualche giorno e nonostante le mie assidue letture al man e agli HOWTO non sono riuscito a risolvere. Ho installato la Mdk8.0 (bellina davvero) con il kernel 2.4.3 perchè, mi era stato detto che la Mdk 7.2 con il kernel 2.4.x aveva problemi per la connessione ad internet. Ecco i passi che ho compiuto: 1) La prima cosa è stata controllare la rete: 1.a) con ifconfig e ping ho controllato le interfacce (lo ed eth0 sono presenti e funzionanti) 1.b) con route ho controllato gli instradamenti (127.0.0.0 e 192.168.0.0 sono attivi); in più ho creato un nuovo instradamento con route add -net default gw 192.168.0.1 per permettere (con il DNS server) l'accesso ad internet anche dell'altro computer 2) Ho controllato i file di configurazione: 2.a) /etc/host.conf 2.b) /etc/hosts 2.c) /etc/resolv.conf il cui contenuto è search localdomain # local name server nameserver 192.168.0.1 # wind name server nameserver 212.245.255.2 (anche se, per ora, non ho attivato il DNS) 3)Ho controllato che il demone pppd sia compatibile con la versione del kernel (2.4.x) che abbia i permessi per farlo eseguire a chiunque tramite suid-bit (chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd) e che il link e i permessi per il modem (/dev/ttyS0) siano a posto. 4) Ho scritto il file /etc/ppp/chat-scipt TIMEOUT 3 ABORT BUSY ABORT NO CARRIER ATF OK ATE0Q0V1 OK ATS7=120S19=0L0M0M4K1H1R2I0X3 OK ATDT071246 TIMEOUT 80 CONNECT Ho scritto da zero il file /etc/ppp/options, ovvero: connect /usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chat-script user valerio.spadoni crtscts modem /dev/modem 57600 lock noauth defaultroute 0.0.0.0:0.0.0.0 noipdefault debug kdebug 7 Ed infine il file /etc/ppp/pap-secrets Lanciando pppd (sia da root che da utente normale), ciò che ottengo è (tail /var/log/message) Oct 14 11:33:53 localhost pppd[1906]: pppd 2.4.0 started by root, uid 0 Oct 14 11:33:54 localhost chat[1907]: timeout set to 3 seconds Oct 14 11:33:54 localhost chat[1907]: abort on (BUSY) Oct 14 11:33:54 localhost chat[1907]: abort on (NO CARRIER) Oct 14 11:33:54 localhost chat[1907]: send (ATF^M) Oct 14 11:33:54 localhost chat[1907]: expect (OK) Oct 14 11:33:54 localhost chat[1907]: ^M Oct 14 11:33:54 localhost chat[1907]: OK Oct 14 11:33:54 localhost chat[1907]: -- got it Oct 14 11:33:54 localhost chat[1907]: send (ATE0Q0V1^M) Oct 14 11:33:55 localhost chat[1907]: expect (OK) Oct 14 11:33:55 localhost chat[1907]: ^M Oct 14 11:33:55 localhost chat[1907]: ATE0Q0V1^M^M Oct 14 11:33:55 localhost chat[1907]: OK Oct 14 11:33:55 localhost chat[1907]: -- got it Oct 14 11:33:55 localhost chat[1907]: send (ATS7=120S19=0L0M0M4K1H1R2I0X3^M) Oct 14 11:33:55 localhost chat[1907]: expect (OK) Oct 14 11:33:55 localhost chat[1907]: ^M Oct 14 11:33:56 localhost chat[1907]: ^M Oct 14 11:33:56 localhost chat[1907]: OK Oct 14 11:33:56 localhost chat[1907]: -- got it Oct 14 11:33:56 localhost chat[1907]: send (ATDT071246^M) Oct 14 11:33:56 localhost chat[1907]: timeout set to 80 seconds Oct 14 11:33:56 localhost chat[1907]: expect (CONNECT) Oct 14 11:33:56 localhost chat[1907]: ^M Oct 14 11:34:01 localhost CROND[1909]: (root) CMD ( /usr/share/msec/promisc_check.sh) Oct 14 11:34:26 localhost chat[1907]: ^M Oct 14 11:34:26 localhost chat[1907]: CONNECT Oct 14 11:34:26 localhost chat[1907]: -- got it Oct 14 11:34:26 localhost chat[1907]: send (^M) Oct 14 11:34:26 localhost pppd[1906]: Serial connection established.

[newbie] The Best Sound Blaster
I have two spare Creative Sound Blaster cards and one system to put it on so I decide to use both. One is an AWE 64 ISA, the other an SB16 PCI. Dilemma: Both sound good on Quake, xmms and basic sound servers..or do they? The different mixers give the AWE64 a bit more tweakability, including 3D sound. But if I listen closely I hear less skishing or metal slicing sounds on the SB16 and I think it has built-in 3D sound. I have subwoofers so I can't really tell which gives better bass quality. I just want to hear some opinions from people who use these two cards, which is the best sound blaster. (other than the SBLive!, of course) The $$ on a SB Live is a bit 8-( at this point for me.

And, as long as a passwor is not needed for an SMTP server (whenever it is an open realy) you will be able to send your mails without problems. In the other hand, you will need a password to download your messages from your POP server, and if it doesn't match you'll get an error message.

JC John No you are doing right, but xine has sone trouble with the path. I guess xine-ui is looking for the xine-libs under /usr/xine, but xine-lib is installed under something like /usr/local/xine .

So what happens when you try to add it as a generic wheel mouse? Does it at least work in other areas besides whatever browser you're trying to use? I say this because I too am using a microshaft optical. I installed it as a generic wheel mouse,now the driver takes something less than 60 secs. to find it,but it eventually does,and works in all browsers. This is a ps2 mouse btw :) Good luck,and let us know Lee What web browser are you using?

RE: [newbie] The Best Sound Blaster
The SB16 PCI, by virtue of it's PCI interface has a lower latency when dealing with data xfers. That said, the SB16 PCI card is a junk card for most intents and purposes. It's noisy as hell, doesn't have a lot of features, etc. It was produced as a foray into the PCI sound card market. The SB16 was to be a low end value (read as cheap as can be) card. The AWE 64 was designed to be the high end of the ISA sound cards, featuring the Synth chip, memory module support, gold plated contacts, etc. Though still quite noisy and relatively plagued by higher latencies, it's the better of the two cards. Frankly though, if I were you I'd toss both and grab a SBLive Value. The Value offers everything the SBLive 5.1 does except the bay. The entire SBLive line is built on a single chip.

[newbie] Newbie troubles with installing
I am trying to install Xine - on a Mandrake 8.0 setup. I have downloaded xine-lib and xine-ui. I have successfully run ./configure, make and make install for xine-lib. When I run ./configure for xine-ui it fails with a message telling me that I have not installed xine-lib. Is there some stage I am missing between the two?

Dunno about your UPS, it depends on your needs, but I just got hold of a MSI K Pro2 Via KT266A mainboard to go with my new AthlonXP1800+ and it seems a very cool board, testing seems to indicate its one of the fastest boards currently available.

The pin 1 is clearly marked, both on the connector and the drive. opinion What you've discovered is the norm. On most motherboards, it's best to put HDD's together on ide0 (primary) and CD drives on ide1 (secondary). If a Windoze drive is involved, it's almost always best (and easiest) to have it as hda (ie, ide0-master). I'd question tho why you have the Cdrom as a slave to nothin? Why not put it as master? FWIW, I've found that in Cdrom + CD-RW systems, it's usually best to have the CDrom master, and the CD-RW as slave on ide1. YMMV, actually the best arrangement usually comes from tryin by trial and error. Most drive problems are due to badly designed or poor quality motherboards (specially those with win-raid kludges, eg, Abit KT7a-R) and/or cables, jumpers set to CS (cable select, many ready made junk systems like Dell, Gateway, Compaq are configured this way and also use poor quality oem only spec motherboards) rather than properly set to master or slave, and inadequate case ventilation. Heat is a major drive killer. Speakin of heat. It's also a bad idea to run your system with the case cover (or side) removed. The metal case cover not only protects your other radio appliances (eg, TV) from RF interference from the computer, it also protects your system (and HDD's) from outside RF interference (eg, from your TV or outer space, aliens, etc ;) Computers are really just a different kind'a radio set. -- Tom Brinkman Galveston Bay, USA chmod +x --with-daisy_cutters /bin/Laden.al-Qaeda.Taliban http://www.flowgo.com/rsubf.cfm?id=hfnbwbiShprpwnfDuxcl=78p=19376d=10-18-01 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Is it with one of our systems? No, he replied, but I'll buy the most expensive boxed set if your system can help me. In the course of a few minutes I learned that this fellow hadf a Dell Dimension P-II 400 with STB Velocity card and Turtle Beach Montego II Sound card, and he had been running Win98 successfully. He had a Microsoft-badged optical mouse and Microsoft-badged USB keyboard. When WinXP came out, his father was the first person in line at CompUSA to buy it at 12:01 am October 25th. So he installed the update. Keyboard and mouse promptly stopped working. His plan was to install linux, copy his vital data over to it, then format the winpartition and reinstall XP cleanly as Microsoft Support (Two hours on hold long distance to Redmond ) assured him if he did that that his keyboard and mouse would work. I told him where to pick up the download edition of 8.1 and he took them. An hour later I had a call, It won't resize Windows small enough. By now it was 7 pm. I went to his computer and brough along a spare 10G disk. I added it temporarily on the spare connector and let him install ML 8.1 to the second disk, making sure he chose GRUB to boot with. Everything worked, and his cable modem connected out of the box--only the advisory popped up to visit sourceforge about the sound card. Transferring his 2.2G of files was a snap, then diskdrake was called to clean up the messy hda, partitioning 3/4 of it for windows and leaving the rest for his rescue system. WinXP balked and insisted on seeing the win98 CD, then it installed, taking out the boot record entry for linux (but we had a boot disk). The mouse and keyboard worked fine until the final reboot then communication ceased. Now out with the win98 disk but it refuses to install over XP. Back to Linux and diskdrake from a terminal su'ed too root to wipe clean again. Win98 now loads after an old installer trick of copying the win98 directory to the hard drive and installing from there. And linux restores the 2.2 G of files it had saved. Now the extra Hdd is removed and win98 is running using mouse and keyboard. Back to CompUSA goes the XP even though one mouse worked long enough to send Redmond the info for the activation Code. Into CompUSA is placed an Order for ProSuite. He already has the Aureal drivers from sourceforge. I know sometimes our system has trouble with a wheelmouse, and a lot of trouble if someone sets the wrong mouse type (3-button emulation kills wheelmice), but this is something I don't think we have ever done. Certified Hardware not running on a new system is a serious flaw, and even a billion dollar advertising campaiggn and midnight starting sales will not correct that sort of flaw.

Civileme Civileme, Typical corporate linux profiteering. I'll bet you 99:2 (Am Ex accepted) that he was using a P/S2 mouse and keyboard. I've had that experience as well with XP Home Edition (though not Professional). A better solution (compatibility with Win32 apps) would be to buy the cheapest boxed set of PS/2 mouse and keyboard - because that's a system that can help him.

Re: [newbie] No X after 8.1 upgrade
I didn't have any trouble w/my nvidia card but I did with 2 other boxes( rage 128 a permedia card,can't recall the model).

I am using the 6.0 beta and Iseem to have messed up the database integration some how, or perhaps I'mjust not sure what I should look for if it is working properly. I wentthrough the StarOffice installation prior to doing the Adabasinstallation. The StarOffice installer told me it couldn't find thedatabase and that if I wanted those features I should run thatinstallation. I ran the database installation the same way I ran theStarOffice installation but I can't detect any evidence from insideStarOffice that I have added the database. There isn't a menu option fora new data file under the file menu. I have no idea what I should belooking for but it seems like it ought to be a little more obvious thanthis. I originally did a /net install of both programs and then ran auser install from the directory I created during the /net install. Anyadvice on how to get back on track would be appr! eciated.
