[newbie-it] DCOP server
Ciao a tutti, da qualche tempo mi succede questo: al mio rientro in Linux, dopo aver acceso il computer, ogni tanto non riesco ad entrare in KDE con l'utente normale. Il processo di inizializzazione parte e si ferma a metà. A quel punto, la cosa più veloce è uscire da KDE con CTRL+ALT+DEL ed effettuare il login come root. Il problema è, come segnala il file .xsession-errors, che il file .DCOPserver_localhost.localdomain_:0 non è stato cancellato al precedente spegnimento/riavvio del PC; quindi mi è sufficiente rimuovere quel file, e rientrare in KDE come utente. Non è, dunque, un problema così grave, ma da un lato è fastidioso, dall'altro vorrei - quanto meno per curiosità informatica - capire come mai avvenga questo. Se qualcuno di voi avesse tempo e voglia di aiutarmi a trovare una spiegazione, gliene sarei molto grato... :-) A presto, Daniele Micci

AFAIK hosts.allow e hosts.deny servono solo se si tratta di accedere a risorse _del_ sistema, non quando si richiede l'accesso a siti esterni, senza alcun tramite locale. Il firewall mal configurato puo' essere senz'altro una causa, se son state messe regole bloccanti nella catena di output. Saluti, Lk -- L.U. #210970 - L.M. #98222 * MDK mista cooker/8.1 - 2.4.13-ac7
Re: [newbie-it] Mandrake 8.1
Ho installato da poco la Mandrake 8.1 ed ho un problema credo inedito in newbie-it, con i caratteri. Ci sono delle applicazioni tipo KDevelop, ma anche spesso Konqueror, la guida di KDE e altre situazioni simili, che mi mostrano dei caratteri esagerati tipo DirtyBaker'sDozen o AD.MONO. Ho guardato nel Centro di Controllo, ma questi caratteri non appaiono tra le mie scelte. Qualcuno ha, e magari anche risolto, questo problema? Tommaso

Re: [newbie-it] Linux notebook
Il sistema operativo MuLinux è contenuto nel file mulinux-versione.tgz di 1828 Kb ed attualmente giace sulla workstation dalla quale vi scrivo. Come posso fare a trasferirlo sul vecchio notebook considerando che esso non possiede né cd-rom né una connessione i rete? Help, help me please. Thanks. Giovanni. Ciao, non so se possa essere utile, ma avevo anch'io un problema simile con una libreria troppo lunga per entrare in un dischetto, e troppo piccola per essere messa su un CD-Rom. Prova con il bellissimo comando split, così: 0) Workstation, vai alla directory in cui c'e' il file mulinux-versione.tgz 1) split -b 1413k mulinux-versione.tgz (Ti verranno prodotti 2 file - se davvero è di 1828k - chiamati xaa e xab, se non erro, ciascuno di 1413k, che quindi stanno in un dischetto) 2) copia i suddetti file su un dischetto 3) dai dischetti porta i suddetti file sul notebook 4) sul notebook dai cat xaa xab mulinux-versione.tgz ed il gioco sarà fatto. Se due dischetti non bastassero puoi cambiare il valore 1413, ed usare tre dischetti (ovvero uno stesso dischetto tre volte): dovrebbero venire xaa, xab, xac. Facci sapere se ciò porti ad un buon fine. Ciao. Alberto P.S. come tool per la compattazione e scompattazione di file suggerisco anche bzip2, bunzip2, leggermente più potente. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[newbie-it] Problema nel lettore cd
Salve a tutti, volevo esporre il mio problema . Ho da pochi giorni installato Mandrake 8.1 e devo dire secondo me è molto migliorata sia in fase di installazione , di supporto che di stabilità . Un solo problema ,quello del lettore cd audio, allora cerco di spiegarmi: Io ho un lettore dvd ed un masterizztore che tutti e due ho configurato come scsi e ven gono riconosciuti benissimo da cdrecord , inserendo un cd dati me li legge tranquillamente senza problemi in tutti e due. Il problema sta nel fatto che programmi come Kscd e Grip vanno a cercare il cdrom su /dev/cdrom però /dev/cdrom è configurato per il masterizzatore e quindi posso ascoltare i cd con il medesimo. Ma siccome che il dvd è installato su hdc e il master su hdb e tra l'altro solo il dvd è collegato alla scheda audio . Ora con La versione di mandrake 8.1 le cose in /dev sono un po cambiate , prima con la 8.0 mi bastava cancellare /dev/cdrom e ricrearlo facendolo puntare nel modo corretto ora non so come fare . Se qualcuno ne sa qualcosa ne darei grato. Mi scuso per la pappardella che ho scritto . Nell'attesa di una risposta ringrazio. Ciao Lele _ Do You Yahoo!?

[newbie-it] Linux notebook
Ciao a tutti, innanzitutto un grazie di cuore ai colleghi che si sono prodigati nel mio attuale dilemma, ogni consiglio è sempre ben accetto. Forse l'obiettivo che mi sono prefisso è un po' arduo, visto le mie attuali conoscenze in fatto di Linux ed ai limiti hardware del portatile ... ma veniamo al dunque. Questa mini-versione del nostro sistema operativo, MuLinux http://sunsite.dk/mulinux/, mi è stata consigliata da LukenShiro 10 giorni fa per riuscire a far girare Linux su un portatile oramai obsoleto (ma che comunque mi aiuterebbe a familiarizzare con la bash di Linux anche fuori casa) il mio Compaq Armada 1120 con ancora installato Winbug '95. Una caratteristica paradossalmente peculiare di MuLinux è quella che ne prevede l'installazione da una partizione in dos come possono essere quelle di Win '95/98/Me/NT. Una volta ultimata detta installazione, essa mi consentirebbe di fare partire il notebook con MuLinux se, in fase di boot tengo inserito il floppy (formattato e verificato a 1.72 Mb e creatomi durante la fase di installazione) che contiene un file immagine del sistema operativo MuLinux, diversamente mi partirebbe il vecchio Winbug '95. Conseguentemente, i consigli di Alberto non li trovo applicabili, in quanto i comandi si riferiscono alla shell di Linux ... e sul portatile ho ancora solamente Win '95, mi torneranno utili quando opererò totalmente in ambiente Linux :-). In merito al suggerimento di Luca invece, l'installazione mi deve partire da dentro una cartella temporanea di Windoz tipo C:\mulinux, nella quale avrò copiato - ed è questo il problema - i file prelevati in rete e cioè dostools.zip e mulinux-11r2.tgz. Scompattando dostools.zip nella stessa directory e lanciando boot.bat (da Dos puro) mi dovrebbe partire l'installazione vera e propria che innanzitutto mi chiederà il path del file immagine ed a cui io dovrei rispondere /dev/fd0 che corrisponde al drive floppy da 3.5 di Linux. Dopodiché l'installazione di MuLinux mi chiederà di inserire il floppy nel drive e me lo formatterà (penso in ext2) verificandolo e scrivendoci sopra il file immagine che mi permetterà ad un re-boot successivo di poter partire con MuLinux oppure con Winbug. Torno al problema: mulinux-11r2.tgz è un file compresso di 1828 Kb che non so come trasferire sul portatile senza cd-rom. Secondo Voi ... se scompatto il file da 1828 K e trasferisco tutti i file contenuti con più floppy? ... mi partirà ugualmente l'installazione sul notebook oppure boot.bat mi andrà a cercare il file originario mulinux-11r2.tgz? Diversamente penso che mi resti solo una connessione diretta via cavo ... Un grazie a tutti. Ciao. Giovanni.

If you want to perform some file transfers using ftp with your server then it should have a ftp server running (ProFtpd, WuFtpd, and others) which will accept ftp transactions. Only one server daemon is needed per server machine. If you still have your installation discs then its in there somewhere, if not you can download the packages from the Mandrake ftp sites or do a search in rpmfind.net. ciao! -- Programming, an artform that fights back. = Anuerin G.

[newbie] Using Software Manager remotely
I have a system set up that I'm trying to use headless (without a local keyboard, monitor, mouse). Most things work fine, except, it seems, for the X-window applications that require root authorization. The application that I'm particularly interested in is Software Manager. When I run it remotely, it asks for the root password and then seems to die a silent death. When I run it locally, everything is fine. I'm using eXceed as my X-window server.

Re: [newbie] motherboard suggestion for stable system
My only recomendation is to use 'server grade' hardware. 'Desktop' grade computers are not designed to run 24/7. Unfortunately I don't know of any server-grade computers that use AMD processors. If possible go with a SCSI disk subsystem rather than IDE. IDE drives are made for the desktop market and are generally not designed for 24x7 operation. If you can afford it get a RAID controller (even if you are just mirroring, a RAID controller can handle mirroring much better than the server itself.) and hot swappable drives. it is also a good idea to have redundant (and if possible hot swappable) power supplies and cooling fans. Compaq and IBM both sell very Linux-friendly server lines. Dell and (I think) HP also support Linux on their server products. I personally would recommend the Compaq Proliant line. -Original Message- From: Paul Rodríguez [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: newbie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 10 Nov 2001 17:02:19 -0500 Subject: [newbie] motherboard suggestion for stable system I am building a system for the doctor's private practice.

Re: [newbie] limit of cat5 cables? (length)
Actually, there's no tested maximum length for CAT5. However if you're going by the specs, 100M is the max between some sort of device. Whether it's a repeater, a hub or something. Many of use have done networks where we've used CAT5 much longer then 100M for whatever reason, and have had no problem. But, for those of you who have gone through MCSE or Cisco, or any network training, they say the spec is 100M, for performance. The instructor will also tell you after you've learned the spec, and passed the test, forget the spec! In the real world, you do what works. More then 100M of CAT5, works.

[newbie] MSI KT266A and Athlon 1800+ Wooohooo!!! but a tiny problem. 3073.64 BOGOMIPS!
Hi all, Tonight I went over and upgraded my CPU and Motherboard to the above system.. It now gets 3073.64 Bogomips... (was 2779.72 with a standard Athlon 1.4) Anyway, the upgrade went flawlessly till I went to boot mandrake 7.2 It started, then started framebuffer, then detected the drives, then it stopped at this: ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7, 0x3f6 on irq 14 ide1 at 0x170-0x177, 0x376 on irg 15 it hadn't locked up, because the caps and number lock keys still worked.. it just sat there doing nothing... for ages, I let it go for 30 minutes and nothing changed. that was kernel 2.2.19-5.1mdksecure I could find nothing in the logs to detail the problem but didn't expect to, because at this stage, it isnt' writing anything to the logs. Then I did the 3 finger salute and selected the default 2.2.17-26 kernel... that worked, and it booted up.. So my question is, why does it boot 2.2.17, but not 2.2.19??? I don't want to leave it like this because 2.2.17 was buggy and had security flaws didn't it? (I tried to boot 2.2.19-4.1mdksecure as well, same problem as 5.1,, sat there doing nothing.) I will be upgrading the system to mdk8.1 in a week or so, but I want this thing to be secure until then.. Can anyone make any suggestions? One last observation, is that kudzu and harddrake could not load anythign for the chipset, harddrake showed 4 unknown VIA other devices which was to be expected, but the system worked well enough otherwise.. (except for the 2.2.19 kernels.) rgds Frank. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

When selecting eith Cooker or Security Mirror sites and it tries to connect and get what I assume is a updated list of versions, it just gives me an error(I'm at work right now and don't have the error handy) that says something to the effect of unable to connect to site. I think I've tried most of the mirror sites and all of them report the same error. Is there some funky port number this application is using? I'm running on cable modem and I have a firewall up running e-smith (www.e-smith.org) and the desktop system is running mandrake 8.1 Thanks _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Did you do any sort of compile for this other kernel? OR was it a rpm install? If so, you may want to try uninstalling the kernel, then installing it again.

[newbie] WordPerfect 8.0 Printer Installation Problem
I have a printer installed under Mandrake 8.1. The printer works with a print test and Netscape. However, when I try to setup a printer for WP 8.0, I find no destination available for assignment to the printer. The only choice I get is between printing to disk and printing to $PRINTER, but I cannot assign a destination to $PRINTER. In Mandrake 8.1, my printer is called Brother and set up as an HP Laserjet IIP. When I installed WP 8.0, I installed the drivers for HP Laserjet IIP and for the specific Brother model that I have (which emulates the HP Laserjet IIP). As noted, however, the installation program that no destinations were available for assignment to either driver. I have seen discussion of creating a RAW printer, but I have no idea how to do that. Also, I don't see how I could assign a destination to that either. What am I doing wrong? How do I fix it? -- Jim Marshall Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Hello! I have a problem on 2 machines. One at home and one at work. I was used to burn iso files using an alias, and it doesn not work anymore. Here is the respons of cdrecord in a shell: % cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord 1.10 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 J?g Schilling cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. In the past (in the downloadable version of 8.1), cdrecord was working well. Has anybody experienced the same problem? By the way, login as root is not a solution. I have tried, just in case, but it produces exactly the same result. Anyway, I am in the cdrom group, so it should work. The 2 machines are dual processor PCs but I don't think it is related. The motherboards and processors are different.

Is there a way to set the file to run by default in LM8.1 using Nautilus 1.0.4 ? thanks, Charlie. I tried changing the Nautilus preferences user level from 'advanced' to 'beginner' and then back to 'advanced', and the option re-appeared in the 'icon and list views' section of the preferences.

Re: [newbie] fat32 vs reiserfs for storage
Sorry if this question was already answered, I couldn't find it. I have two partitions on the same disk, one fat32, one reiserFS, oth with plenty of space. Since I spend all of my time in Linux, I keep the Fat32 partition for storage. I frequently access a large number of small files (~10-30k), but I only need to have them available to Linux. Is there any advantage to keeping these files on one partition as opposed to the other. (e.g. as far as space taken up them or acess speed?) -Paul Rodríguez unless you want to access your file from winows and from your post, you don't, there is really no point in storing your files on fat32. As far as the disk usage goes, on a 8 GB partition, the smallest block on a fat 32 partition was 8 kb i think. so a 10 kb file would use up 16 kb on you fat 32 partition, and a 30 kb file would use up 32 kb of space. the larger the file the less percentage of space wasted. but since reiserFS is native to linux you could even store your applications there and run them from the reiserFS partition. somehow i wasn't able to do this on a dos partion.

[newbie] xawtv recording
Hi, Has anyone tried recording with xawtv? I tried recording to avi file... But it's always sound-less. I'm playing w/ xine and I thought it might be a xine problem... but I tried playing in windoz and it still didn't have sound. So I think it's the xawtv that is having trouble encoding the sound... Does anyone know what's going on? Thank you. -Valerie Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] No X after 8.1 upgrade
What is really annoying is that I had none of these problems with 8.0. Everything looks fine using XFdrake. The setup I was walked through after doing a startx dropped me in Gnome and everything worked perfectly so I don't think anything is wrong with my display settings. So why does startx put me in twm now and now gnome? /etc/sysconfig/desktop is set to GNOME Why don't I get a graphical login? What command can I give to start gnome instead of startx?

Fwiw..both of the trouble cards are(for now) working acceptably. I took Traci's suggestion (thanx Traci :-) and went with the above mentioned text login.

Followed the advise on the errata webpage with no success. From the command line I did startx and it guided me through a setup (I was running Gnome) then I used KDE. When I logged out it dumped back to the command line and trying startx again put me into TWM. Using the GUI configuration tools available in TWM I haven't been able to get anywhere. I want a graphical login and Gnome as my desktop. I read there was a problem with the nvidia drivers (I have an onboard GeForce TNT2) I reverted back to my old kernel which didn't help a bit. Although th 2.4.8-28mdk kernel segfaults when I use the find command and the 2.4.3-20mdk kernel doesn't. I would send the error but I can't figure out how to redirect it into a file. tks mitch Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] postgresql - changing location of db/cluster
mandrake automatically creates the postgres db/cluster in /var/lib/pgsql/data and automatically starts the db/cluster. what changes would one need to do if wanting to change the installation of the db/cluster (e.g. to /var/db/postgres/data)? would the following suffice? -stop the postgres service -delete /var/lib/pgsql/data -set the PGDATA env to /var/db/postgres/data in /etc/profile -initdb -D /var/db/postgres/data -restart the postgres service also, must a postgres user account be created when setting up a new db/cluster using initdb? can any user account be used? if so, what settings/permissions (if any) must be changed? thanks.
