Purtroppo sembra un errore ( o piu ) di Mandrakesoft. Per passare al succo della faccenda, bisogna modificare il nome della directory di dispositivo ( device ) e cioé: da /dev/sound in /dev/audio. TUTTO QUI. Sicuramente la scheda audio viene rilevata in fase di installazione del SO, ma quando si vuole usare il dispositivo, questo non viene trovato perche si trova in un percorso diverso, da cio' il non funzionamento del dispositivo. Spero di essere stato di aiuto ed esatto. Saluti a tutti da Mauro Non riproduce nessun suono, ne di kde, gnome C. tantomeno cd o mp3, completamente muto! Ho controllato il bios e PnP OS Installed è disabilitata. La scheda la riconosce nel setup di installazione (senza darmi modo di verificarla o sostituirla, ma cmq. il driver è lo stesso utilizzato dalla mdk 7.2, ora c'è la mdk 8.1!) e viene riconosciuta anche con harddrake, solo che quando provo a cambiare tipo di modulo (sempre della serie yamaha) non viene riprodotto il file campione, con nessun modello, e sono gli stessi tra la 7.2 e la 8.1non riesco a capire pecchè non fà!... ... dubbio ... Hai verificato i livelli audio? Nel menu K - Multimedia - Suono trovi l'applicazione Mixer sonoro. Controlla che i livelli del volume non siano a zero... Altrimenti, prova ad usare sndconfig dalla console di root. Daniele

Re: [newbie] Alternative to QuickTime
The best alternative to Quicktime I have found is ... Quicktime.. It can be made to run under Linux using the codeweavers crossover plugin available from www.codeweavers.com. Crossover is a wine application and enables you to run native windows plugins including Microsoft Powerpoint/Word/Excel viewers. Installation is a real breeze and it works either standalone or as an embedded plug in in Netscape, konqueror, Opera, Galeon and Mozilla. The downside? Well its not free. The crossover plugin will cost you $29 (but that money does help to support the Wine development) You can use it without paying, but every 30 seconds or so a window pops up begging for money. (Doesn't stop me using it that way though) HTH Derek On Tuesday 04 December 2001 02:38, you wrote: Guys, what's the best alternative to QuickTime ?

Re: [newbie] Alternative to QuickTime
I wish there were an 'easy' way to use wine. The easiest ways are to use the crossover plugin, or the transgaming wine implementation. They have been 'tweaked' for their particular purpose and save you the grief. If you were to spend the time you could get wine doing the same things yourself without paying a penny. If you want to use wine yourself then I suggest you do not use the Mandrake rpm, but instead get the wine CVS tree and read everything you find at www.winehq.org Wine does not need any windows or windows partition on the drive. It can use applications already installed in existing windows partitions, but this is not the preferred mode of operation. A pure linux environment is best. So far I have managed to get wine to work playing Counterstrike (menus a bit funny but game play OK), and Quicken (unusably slow and mouse never quite points where you want it) On Tuesday 04 December 2001 11:21, ethan wrote: speaking of wine, are there any quick pointers on how best to use it ?

Re: [newbie] gnomeppp pppd daemon dies
I asked this question sometime ago and was advised that if I was using x-screensaver or apache that these could conflict with this type of connection. I basically gave up on it and made kppp work..if ya get gnome ppp to work I'd love to know how you did it :-) Lee I haven't used gnome ppp before (I use kppp), but I was forced to not install kde on a system because the machine has 3 small hd's, the largest is 600M and the other 2 are around 200M or less. So, since the smaller footprint is Gnome, and since the Gnome panel works with Xfce (my favorite small footprint gui), I decided to install it. Setting up the dial-up has been problematic because I'm not familiar with the interface. As far as I can see the setup is correct, however it appears that I have a permissions problem. This problem is not confined to the one Gnome-only system, however--the same error occurs when I attempt to use gnome ppp instead of a working kppp dial-up on other machines. Anyway, I hit the connect button on gnome ppp and immediately a crash message appears that the pppd daemon died unexpectedly. My log files show only that pppd 2.4.0 started by eryl, uid 501 followed by failed to open /dev/modem: Permission denied, followed by Exit. The error message is identical on both the Gnome-only machine and the machines with a working kppp. Can some Gnome guru out there (I know you're on this list) PLEASE tell be what I have misconfigured, and why it's only a misconfiguration with Gnome ppp. Thanks, eryl Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Still no printing in LM8.1!
Dear All, I have been reading everything and doing everything I can think of to get my Epson Stylus Color to work with LM 8.1. I wrote for help about a week ago and nothing that has been suggested has worked. I even reinstalled LM 8.1 and the exact same thing happened again. The printing worked with the test pages then even worked at first with kword and abiword until I changed the default settings. I noticed that it works as long as I do not try to add xpp or change settings. Unfortunately the default settings are not acceptable so I have to adjust but once I do then the printing stops completely. I have checked files and I get messages such as device or resource is busy. Then when I check the queues they show all of my jobs are processing or pending but nothing prints. I am even tempted to get another printer even though I know it is not the printer. I even tried it again in Windows 98 to make sure and of course it works. I am tempted to put my Windows 95 as dual boot on this machine just to get some printing again. If anyone can help with this I will be very appreciative. Thank you. Sincerely, Marcia Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] Mandrake 8.1 and webcam
Well i recently bought a Quickcam 3000 PRO from logitech without knowing there support behaviour =/ it is supported starting at kernel 2.4.13 . Since it has Phillips ingredients. Phillips webcams are supported (allmost all AFAIK ) they use the kernel module pwc (so does my logitech ) but dont buy the logitech its a good cam but you will have to wait or hack better support for it . Example: i get the camera working fine with a small picture (nokia-display-size on a 1280x1024 screen res) that is because you need to uncompress the signal to get the resolution higher (it SHOULD support 480x600) but to uncompress you need to compile your own kernel with the module pwcx wich you get at http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ (a recommendable site ) Recommendable is to use a analog camera and a tv grabbercard (bttv) but ofcourse those are more expensive.

[newbie] XFree86 gamma adjustment
I need help adjusting the gamma of my monitor. I've tried four methods without success: (1) The man page for XF86Config(5) documents the optional entries Gamma x or Gamma r g b in the XF86Config file which should set the monitor's gamma (x, r, g, and b being between 0.1 and 10.0, default 1). I tried both variants as root but nothing happened either time... but since the man page warns that Not all drivers are capable of using this information, I assume I'm out of luck here. Has anyone had luck with these entries? I have not one but three XF86Config files, not counting backups: /etc/XF86Config /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 I assume that multiple files are to provide different configurations under different circumstances. In any case I edited them all identically. For what it's worth, XFree86 -version reports: XFree86 Version 4.1.0 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510) Release Date: 2 June 2001 Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.8-5mdkenterprise i686 [ELF] Module Loader present (2) My display adapter is a SiS620, which is supported by XFree86. Just for laughs I downloaded and installed the 620 driver from SiS (yes, they have Linux drivers) but there's no change. (3) The man page for XFree86(1) documents the command line switch -gamma. I normally work in X, so first I tried switching to tty1 with Ctrl-Alt-F1, logging in as another user, and entering XFree86 -gamma 9.0, which returned: Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 I thought it was possible to run multiple instances of X, but I clearly did something wrong here. (I'd like to know what, as eventually I will want to have multiple instances... but that's another issue.) Then, I changed my boot configuration to not boot into X, rebooted and logged in, and gave the above command. X hung: the same moiré pattern appeared that always does when X is starting, but hung there. The result is the same when I simply enter XFree86 from the command line without the -gamma switch. (4) From an xterm, I gave the command xgamma -gamma 9.0, which returned: Xserver is running an old XFree86-VidModeExtension version (0.8) Minimum required version is 2.0 I did a web search on the above message but the only hits I found were for dead (404) pages.

Re: [newbie] StarOffice install problem
Thanks John, but yes, they were already executable. I played some more and made it work by moving the installation files to another directory. Not sure what difference this made yet, unless the fact that the directory I was trying to install in originally was in an exported tree caused the problem. Can anybody fill me in on this? Original place was in /home/public/so6beta/ /home/public is the root of an exported tree. Have now moved them to /usr/so6beta and things work. As this is to be a server based install I thought it made sense to put them in an area already NFS mounted. Or maybe this has nothing to do with the problem?? thanks again anyway /Brian On Wednesday 05 December 2001 12:11 am, you wrote: Have you tried checking the permissions on them to see if they are executable if not run chmod on them it should be chmod + x name_of_file if thats not correct man chmod will get you the right syntax.

Re: [newbie] Still no printing in LM8.1!
Dear Civileme, I originally chose cups with gimp print for Epson Stylus Color. Then I reinstalled and chose cups but with the lpr spooler and the same things happened again. I, also, changed drivers many times through webmin and the problems did not improve. Finally I got rid of cups and went to lpd and still nothing works. I am truly stumped. In most cases the printer would work for test pages and printouts in the beginning then as soon as I made any changes with the settings or added a printer then all jobs would get queued and never print. I hope to resolve this issue soon. I am certainly a newbie but had my printer working well with 7, 7.2, 8(eventually after a fix from Till) and now I hope to have it work well in 8.1.

I have a .fetchmailrc file in /root that is supposed to check a few mail accounts and make delivery to a few local users.. so the file looks like this (with some detail changes obviously, to hide some confidential info :-) ## set postmaster postmaster set bouncemail set no spambounce set daemon 20 poll mail.vianet.net with proto POP3 user 'frankieh' there with password 'myPassWd' is 'franki' here options fetchall poll pop.mail.yahoo.com with proto POP3 user 'charmaine' there with password 'somechick' is 'charmaine' here options fetchall ## so, my question is this, why does the first email seem to be the only one collected??? the yahoo account doesn't seem to get collected.. anyone know why? Also, since I am running this as a deamon, should I add fetchmail to /etc/ppp/ip-up.local ?? so it starts when the dialup is completed? Any help, suggestions, slander, or anything else would be much appreciated. rgds Frank Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Upgrading kernel-2.4.13-12mdk.i586.rpm problem
I'm no guru. In a situation where I have something which depends on another and vice versa I put them all into an empty dir and use # rpm -Uvh * This seems to work well. rgds max Hello, gurus! I am using Mandrake 8.1 and I just downloaded the kernel-2.4.13-12mdk.i586.rpm and iptables-1.2.4-2mdk.i586.rpm available in the speakeasy.rpmfind.net site. I tried to install the new kernel and iptables using the commands of: # rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.13-12mdk.i586.rpm and # rpm -Uvh iptables-1.2.4-2mdk.i586.rpm and vice versa but I wasn't able to install those packages. It depends to one another. So I decided to open my kongueror browser and click the kernel first and automatically installed it using RPM Software Manager. And I was asked if I'll forcely install it and I clicked the YES button. And when it was successfully installed, I also clicked to install the iptables package.

Re: [newbie] Still no printing in LM8.1!
Gidday Marcia I have no experience with printing in Linux so this is a long shot. I had untold problems with printing just the odd file on the 14 iMacs at our school and it turned out to be 3 out the many installed fonts just locked up the printer whenever they were used. The error messages I got were in no way helpful and it was mere trial and error to beat it. The errant fonts were something like School...? Needless to say these fonts have been deleted. Maybe this helps rgds max Marcia asked on Wednesday, December 05, 2001 5:39 AM I have been reading everything and doing everything I can think of to get my Epson Stylus Color to work with LM 8.1. I wrote for help about a week ago and nothing that has been suggested has worked. I even reinstalled LM 8.1 and the exact same thing happened again. The printing worked with the test pages then even worked at first with kword and abiword until I changed the default settings. I noticed that it works as long as I do not try to add xpp or change settings. Unfortunately the default settings are not acceptable so I have to adjust but once I do then the printing stops completely. I have checked files and I get messages such as device or resource is busy. Then when I check the queues they show all of my jobs are processing or pending but nothing prints. I am even tempted to get another printer even though I know it is not the printer. I even tried it again in Windows 98 to make sure and of course it works. I am tempted to put my Windows 95 as dual boot on this machine just to get some printing again. If anyone can help with this I will be very appreciative. Thank you. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
RE: [newbie] FTP problem
as you probably already know, ftp uses two connections, data and control connection. the control connection is the one you make when you connect to the server. now, when you want to list the contents of a directory ( or download a file ), you will receive the directory listing or the file thru the data connection which is made by the server to your computer. probably you can´t get the DATA connection going, this may be because of a firewall/router blocking inbound connections. check your firewall/router. :o) bye. Hi, I just begin to learn Linux, so my question may be very stupid. I just set up a Mandrake Linux 8.1 on my computer. I try to use FTP to connect to my linux server, it has no problem when the computer is in the same LAN. However, when I route outside the LAN and connect it from the Internet, the FTP server will not be able to list the files in the directory. I can still login with the user name and password, but it will stuck at LIST command. Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem? Thank you!

Then I reinstalled and chose cups but with the lpr spooler and the same things happened again. I, also, changed drivers many times through webmin and the problems did not improve. Finally I got rid of cups and went to lpd and still nothing works. I am truly stumped. In most cases the printer would work for test pages and printouts in the beginning then as soon as I made any changes with the settings or added a printer then all jobs would get queued and never print. I hope to resolve this issue soon. I am certainly a newbie but had my printer working well with 7, 7.2, 8(eventually after a fix from Till) and now I hope to have it work well in 8.1.

Civileme Did you try LPRng or PDQ? just call printerdrake and choose expert mode and those are available to you. Leave lpd strictly alone. We excluded it because it has severe security issues as well as many limitations. If you have the printer directly connected to your computer, PDQ is probably the best choice.

[newbie] Armagetron and Tux Racer Games will not run
I recently installed Linux-Mandrake 8.1 on my system. For a Harry Homeowner or a Joe Sixpack like me, I was glad the installer recognized all my devices and installed properly without me having to fiddle with cryptic Unix commands or logging to the dreaded console (which I don't know how to use). I really like games, but I CAN'T RUN ARMAGETRON or TUX RACER. Whenever I launch these games, I can see the hourglass for the initial runtime processing of the game. The game then unexpectedly exits. I don't know why it behaves this way. Please help! Are there any documentation (html, readme.txt) or help files included with these games? Where can I get these if none is included? I run my KDE on X at a resolution of 1024x768. My graphics card is a SIS 530 running Xfree86 4.1 with 3D software acceleration (3D support deemed experimental by Xfree, according to the installer, but I installed it anyway, and it runs fine, except for the aforementioned games). The other games run fine, but they run in a window that I am unable to resize. Can I resize it? Am I right in suspecting that KDE's use of memory is responsible for this? What graphic interface would let me conserve the most memory for my games (Window Maker?, Blackbox?)? I plan to install heavyweight games such as Quake3, Unreal, Counter-Strike, Half-Life, and Red Alert 2: Yuri's revenge on my machine. Any tips you can advise? Here are my system specs.

Re: [newbie] SPAM FILTER
Matt, have you looked into setting up some regex's in the SMTP's configuration file. This is one good way to start taking a bite out of all that crap they're sending at your mailservers. That is definatelythe first place i would start to look as opposed to finding a third party app to take care of this. Another good alternative would be Procmail. That would/is my second step in a tiered filtering scheme. -- daRcmaTTeR =/\=??? |%C++ Registered Linux User # 186492 Beware of little sins. Mosquitoes drink more blood than lions.

Re: [newbie] SPAM FILTER
Matt, Procmailis fairly simple and straightforware and just requires a bit of time to get to know it and the syntax it uses to filter mail. it's very nice once you get to know it. -- daRcmaTTeR =/\=??? |%C++ Registered Linux User # 186492 Beware of little sins.
