[newbie-it] aiuto php
Ciao a tutta la lista, sto cercando di far girare il php ma mi da degli avvisi che non so come evitare poi sarebbe il meno se almeno funzionasse, se gli stessi script li metto su un server vanno bene mentre in locale no gli errori sono quelli che elenco sotto cosa potrebbe essere? devo installare delle librerie? devo riconpilare apache? oppure reinstallare il php? datemi qualche consiglio ho provato a mettere nel file php.ini questa riga error_reporting = E_COMPILE_ERROR|E_ERROR|E_CORE_ERROR per non visualizzare i warning ma in definitiva gli script non funzionano. Grazie a tutti rispondetemi per favore Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_pconnect() in /var/www/html/mysql.php on line 1106 Warning: Failed opening 'admin.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/index.php on line 28 Warning: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution in /var/www/html/dseek/test1.php3 on line 444

[newbie] USB modem vs hanging at shutdown
Hi yall, I'm new here, I just installed 8.1 on a Sony VAIO PCG-F450 (with 256M) which I previously used (successfully) with RedHat 6.1 and SuSE 7.1 (however SuSE somehow kept freezing too much). I still have some problems of configuration with 8.1 in particular with the sound card and ALSA drivers but I guess I should post the thing that bugs me the most: I want to be able to both (1) use my ADSL modem (Alcatel SpeedTouch USB) and (2) be able to shutdown without hanging (and I'm not using Aurora). (1) I'm aware that the hanging at shutdown while 'USB: disconnet device x' is a known problem and I did the fix suggested on the errata pages (namely replace in /etc/modules.conf the line 'alias usb-interface usb-uhci' with 'alias usb-interface uhci' -- this is indeed what happens). Besides the expected effect (not hanging at shutdown anymore) it also has the side effect that I'm unable to connect to my ISP with the USB modem. (I live in Paris and I checked the French newbie list but nobody seems to have this problem there, for some reason). (2) I also noticed that connecting to the ISP (that is when it works, ie with the module usb-uhci loaded) is somewhat of a gamble under Linux (it works 30% of the time say) when the script provided by the ISP (under Win98) works fine all the time. Is there some magical change to make to some connection script for it to work better ? Can this be related to problem (1) ? Thanks in advance!

Here are the lines from my /etc/fstab file: Floppy: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0 Zip: /dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0 Note that you will have to change hdd4 to match your system/setup, if you use this line for your Zip drive. If your fstab entries are the sameas mine, then simply right-clicking on your KDE (I'm not terribly familiar with Gnome) desktop will allow you to create a new device (I use floppy drive for both). You can pick your drives from there. If you change your fstab file, you can have it re-read by the system without rebooting by doing a mount -a BTW, what version of Mandrake r u using? Supermount is disabled in 8.1! Hope this helps! ;-) -- /\ DarkLord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] NVidia
Okay, then it didn't go. I downloaded the source and rebuilt it and then installed it and the GLX. Everything went in okay this time. I didn't get the can't find module error. I went to Mandrake User and followed the instructions there on how to install the driver. Under 8.1 I was told I had to run XFdrake after installing, pick a resolution and then restart X. I did that but nothing changed. Then I read on Nvidia's site that I should edit the X86Config-4 file, chaning the driver from nv to nvidia, then add glx to the modules secition. I tried both ways and still did not see the NVidia splash screen. I'm sorta' lost now. The driver installed without error. I've tried both ways of telling X about the new driver, and now have no idea what I should do next. I appreciate the help and so does my wife. Any additional help is apprciated.

Re: [newbie] NVidia
Did the lsmod and it did show up at the top of the list, but it says that it's unused. Interesting.

Under 8.1 I was told I had to run XFdrake after installing, pick a resolution and then restart X. I did that but nothing changed. Then I read on Nvidia's site that I should edit the X86Config-4 file, chaning the driver from nv to nvidia, then add glx to the modules secition. I tried both ways and still did not see the NVidia splash screen. I'm sorta' lost now. The driver installed without error.

Re: [newbie] NVidia

Re: [newbie] NVidia
I think it's 3.? If does require 4.? The documentation does not say you need 4. However, the drivers are closed source, so there's no way to guarantee what will actually work. I myself use 4 and the installation was virtually effortless. If you're running nVidia cards, I know of no reason to use 3. The 3D acceleration doesn't work on nVidia cards, so it have no advantage over 4. Version 4, on the other, is the latest and greatest. I'd switch. Can I use the Mandrake Control center to update to 4? Or will I have to use a different method. That should work, yes. I've never done it while actually running X, so I don't know how well it works. But it's the easiest, so I'd try it first ;-) Miark I'm going to try and start some of these programs from command line and see what error, if any, I get.

RE: [newbie] msec and Bastille
Thanks for the reply, Mark. this is directly from the man page for msec. it would appear that it's nothing more then just a small utility that you can directly change/modify the security level setting of your Mandrake OS letting the kernel know just how secure or not secure the system is to be... == from the manpage === DESCRIPTION msec is the main script of msec package. It enables the system administrator to change the security level for that system. msec is provided with six preconfigured security levels. These levels range from poor security and ease of use, to paranoid config, suitable for very sensitive server applications, managed by experts. You must be root to run msec . Launch msec x to set you security level to x (x=[0-5]). It'll modify your system according to security level x features. For a fine description of each security level, consult the docu mentation under /usr/doc/msec-*/. = end of manpage entry ...whereas Bastille is a high-level system hardening/firewall configuration tool. I'm not sure that the distinction you've drawn actually makes for a difference. They seem to have a lot of overlap. The only kernel specific activity I could see msec doing was for redirecting kernel logging to a different tty but I think Bastille will do that as well. However, after you mentioned the man pages I thought to ask rpm what dependencies msec had on other packages and when it didn't list bastille I figured it must be a separate, parallel system. So the real question is simply: Can I use both or have people found conflicts? ::mark Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] Konqueror Sound and Flash
Hi Can some one help!!! Im new to linux and Im running Mandrake 8.1. I prefer running Konqueror as my web browser rather than Mozilla or Netscape. But internet sites don't play sound clips, but do when viewed in Mozilla or Netscape. I think the sound card is installed correctly because sound works in Mozilla, Netscape, media player, cd player, xmms and arts... Does the Konqueror Web Browser play sound? Is some configuration required? Also some sites I visit use flash. I have the netscape flash player installed and the flash is played in the browser, but I get the macromedia site opened in another window asking me to download the flash player. But I already have it installed. Is this a problem with these sites or Konqueror/flash configuration? Thanks Mark Evans Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] USB modem vs hanging at shutdown - more
Some more info about the question I posted earlier today. I definitely use uhci instead of usb-uhci. I manage to get the connection by invoking the script /usr/share/speedtouch/speedtouch.sh start which is part of the package. Regardless of whether I actually get the connection or not, the following message is _sometimes_ displayed: ADSL connection:usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout usbdevfs USBDEVFS_BULK failed dev 6 ep 0x85 len 512 ret -110 usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout HDLC line discipline: version3.2,maxframe=4096 Can someone explain what this means ?!? [dev 6 is the modem] Besides this message seems to appear only when the epson stylus scan 2500 is _also_ plugged in a USB port (I tried booting with this printer/scanner/copier unplugged and the the scripts connects fine to the ISP with no message). I attached the cat /proc/bus/usb/devices. I have no clue what the entry dev 3 is (vendor=0451 prodID=1428). Does anyone have an idea ?
