[newbie-it] Installazione di un driver
Ho scaricato da rete dei file spacciati per driver linux del modem ADSL Speed Touch USBdal sito dell'Alcatel; si chiamano "COPYING", COPYING.GPL", "INSTALL", "MAKEFILE" e "SPEEDTOUCH.C". Sbirciati dentroda Windows i primi due parlano di diritti di copiatura,il terzo sono le istruzioni di installazione (che vi riporto di seguito)il quarto e il quinto sono di vere e proprie istruzioni. Trasferiti su Linux il quarto ha il simboletto di un ingranaggio (non so ancora cosa significhi) e il quinto ha il simboletto forsedi una pagina (?!?). Qualcuno sa spiegarmi in modo un po' meno complicato come devo procedere ? faccio seguire le istruzioni (a mio avviso troppo laboriose) dell'Alcatel: Alcatel SpeedTouch USB Driver Kernel Module 1. Introduction This package contains the kernel module part of the Alcatel SpeedTouch USB driver. You will also need the management application.(the Management Application can be found at http://www.alcateldsl.com/ )This pacakge is distributed under the GPL, see COPYING and COPYING.GPL for extra info. 2. Kernel Configuration This driver is only supported on kernel 2.4.1 and higher.You will need to install this kernel with the following options enabled: - Code maturity level options / Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers- USB support / Support for USB- USB support / Preliminary USB device filesystem- Networking options / Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) (EXPERIMENTAL) The first option is necessary to be able to enable ATM.When you upgrade your kernel, do not forget to upgrade your modutils! (You will need version 2.4.2 or newer)The modutils package can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/modutils/v2.4/ 3. Compiling the module You will need SARLib-0.2.1 to compile this module.You can download this library at: http://sarlib.sourceforge.net/ Extract the SARLib in the same directory as this package.Make sure your new 2.4.1+ kernel is in /usr/src/linux/If it is not the case, you can also modify the path in the MakefileThen type: make then become root and type: make install To be able to use this driver, you will have to install more than these two packages. After installation of this package (and plugging in the modem) yoursystem will feature an ATM device.You will need to install PPPoA or PPPoE separately. 4. PPPoE Installing PPPoE is the easiest.First, install rfc 2684 Bridged ethernet support. This will allow you to doEthernet over ATM.You can download this software from http://home.sch.bme.hu/~cell/br2684/ Follow the instructions on this site. (the TUTORIAL file)If you want this to be included in your startup you can add the appropriateline in the /etc/hotplug/usb/speedtouch file after the startup of themanagement application. When you have your bridging ethernet interface (nas0) you can install aPPPoE client. For example, I used roaring penguin PPPoE. http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/ The version 2.8 supports kernel-level PPPoE support too. (see webpage)Do not forget to provide 'nas0' as interface name to the rp-pppoe config. 5. PPPoA This is more complex. Save for installing a kernel patch, you will also haveto download the pppd source and patch that. For more information on this,see: http://www.sfgoth.com/~mitch/linux/atm/pppoatm/ ringrazio e saluto Marco

[newbie] Installing problem
Hello ... I'm new to linux stuff and I heard that Mandrake is good and it's easy to install so I downloaded the ISO (only the first CD) and burn it. My computer boot from the CD-ROM and I run the installation using the Recommended. I created a 5GB partition space for Mandrake (that's enough right) and I install it. But during the installation I got a lot of error saying that couldn't open from package (package name) and it ask me if I want to continue so I click YES. But it happened several times. Than when it ask for the second CD, I just clicked cancel because I don't have the second CD and according to the manual that's what I was suppose to do. Anyway ... the installation continue, it ask for my modem port, my keyboard, mouse, time, etc ... Everything was fine until when it went I have to choose the monitor. There were a lot of selection, First I didn't know which one so I just clicked on the default, than it ask me it was OK? It only showed gray screen. I didn't know that It was suppose to show penguins picture (I show this in the manual) so I just clicked OK, than my screen change to pink colors and it froze, I tried to press ctrl+alt+del but nothing happen so I have to use the reset button. Than it showed the boot menu. It has 5 selections. linux linux-nonfb failsafe windows floppy I clicked on linux and it said this: - INIT: version2.78 booting Enter runlevel: - I tried to press a number so I punch it in 5 (BTW ... it only accept number from 1-9) and it said - INIT:Entering runlevel: 5 INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel - than it just froze. It also happen if I chose linux-nonfb and failsafe. I tried to reburn the image file using slower speed thought it was gonna help :) but it didn't. I reinstall using the new burned CD and everything was the same, but when it ask to choose the monitor, I chose the right one. My monitor is compaq MV520 (but my computer is not). So from the selection I chose compaq MV500 than it ask it the settings was OK, but I still see gray screen, so I chose NO but it happened again, it went to pink screen and it froze. Guys and Girls can you pls help me out? I have no idea what to do ... This is my computer specs: Athlon 1.2GHz 384MB RAM the graphic card is a built in video card.

Re: [newbie] How do I get a Wine app to run from icon?
Maybe its a typo in your email, but you do not seem to have the 'wine' command anywhere. Surely to run your application from the command line you are typing wine /mnt/windows/program\ files/agent/agent.exe to get that working from an icon all you have to do is put that text in the 'Command' field of the 'execute' Tab in an icons properties. You might still have trouble with the working directory for the application. Here is an example of the command line of a Quicken icon on my desktop. winex -workdir /home/derek/.transgaming/c_drive/Program Files/quicken C:/Program Files/quicken/QW.EXE (That is all one line) I am using Transgaming's winex instead of wine, but I daresay the parameters are similar.

Re: [newbie] Where is StarOffice?
The Star Office 6.0beta has now been removed from the Sun web site. So you can no longer get it. It will be replaced with an official 6.0 production release before long. You can still get the 5.2 version from Sun, but it is so inferior compared to 6.0 that I would suggest you get OpenOffice instead. Star Office 6.0 is based on OpenOffice, and you can expect OpenOffice to always be a little bit in advance of StarOffice, but it may not have some addons like extensive clipart libraries .

[newbie] grub-install and lilo not working. sorta desperate problem.
Hi all, I have a small problem I was hoping someone had seen before.. I moved my linux drives to a new computer.. hda before is hda now, hdb before is hdb now.. so that hasn't changed. I couldn't boot from the drive. so I did an expert/upgrade to see if that helped. it didn't I tried reloading lilo to see if that helped, it didn't. I used grub-install /dev/hda with and without --recheck, it didn't help. I removed all kernels, and did the expert upgrade again.. it didn't help. when I run lilo, I get this message: Fatal: No images have been defined or default image doesn't exist. and when I run grub-install, I get this message: grub-install /dev/hda Drive does not have any corrosponding BIOS drive. I have a boot disk and the system is fine when I use that. all services come up just fine. Anyone know how I can fix this thing? the expert upgrade put the standard kernel back on the system, made all the correct files in /boot and everything should be fine, but its not. The bios recognises the drives.. lists them correctly.. and all seems well, it just doesn't work unless I boot from the floppy. The system is an IBM 300PL 233mmx with 160 mb ram. Can anyone offer me some suggestions on how to fix this? I don't want to reload the PC, because I have postfix setup with amavisd and filescan, and amavisd requires the compiling of lots of perl modules and stuff, so its just not something I want to do again if I can avoid it. any help would be very much appreciated. regards Frank Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Hi gang, My new computer is up and running (it's been periodically dead but that's another story...and a bit long...when it's all sorted out I'll do a post mortem for y'all:-). I don't know whether my NVIDIA card is working correctly. I have a NVIDIA GeForce2 MX200 w/32 mb RAM installed in the AGP slot. Mandrake 8.1 installed the generic NVIDIA drivers. I went through the material on Mandrake User and went to the NVIDIA site and grabbed and installed NVIDIA_GLX* and NVIDIA_kernel-1.02313...(revision 20, using the version for Mandrake 8.1 with the 2.4.8 kernel). Installation seemed to go OK but I did get some warnings that the drivers were conflicting with some already installed MESA drivers (which I know nothing about). The msgs told me that those (Mesa) drivers were being renamed so as to not conflict. Then, per Mandrake's and NVIDIA's instructions, I modified the XF86Config-4 file to change driver 'nv' to 'nvidia' and to include a line to Load 'glx' When I reboot the X-server I get the NVIDIA splash screen, and, to my unpracticed eye, the performance seems a little 'snappier'. Tuxracer won't load, however. Here's the message I get from the console: Xlib: extension GLX missing on display :0.0. Xlib: extension GLX missing on display :0.0. *** tuxracer error: Couldn't initialize video: Couldn't find matching GLX visual (Success) I have also tried installing some KDE screensavers, specifically Morph 3D (GL) assuming that they use 3D graphics. That particular screensaver does not seem to be available to me. Have I missed a step? Left something out? Configured things incorrectly?

Re: [newbie] what to use for hostname
Do some more reading of the docs, and if you have more questions, just post them. (I'm not the original poster.) I've read some documents (on the order of a year ago) and still have not set up my mail server. I believe (and I'm looking for confirmation) that I don't have to have a registered domain name to run a mail server. To get specific, I have an email address at my isp ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). When I set up my mail server at home, I plan to give it an arbitrary fully qualified domain name (that will not be registered) and then use aliases or whatever to make the system work. (I'll probably use fetchmail to get the mail, let postfix / procmail sort it, then let postfix send it. I won't need the FQDN for fetchmail, but I guess I will need if for Postfix so that upstream mail providers don't think I'm an illegal relay (or whatever).) (I'll probably use something like system8.home.z as my non-registered FQDN, where system8 is the host name of my main Linux box, home is the workgroup of my Windows network, and z is totally arbitrary, but avoids any chance of collision with a real two or three letter top level domain.) Detailed pointers would be appreciated, but a general yes, this can work, you're on the right track (or the opposite) would be very helpful.

The mandrake-user doc say that I need a fully qualified domain name. I'm a little confused at what to use. My internet access is by cable with a dynamic ip address. I noticed that windows(before I set up a gateway) thinks my domain name is name.vc.shawcable.net where name is the name I gave the computer. Is this ok to use? Anyone on vc.shawcable.net could have chosen the same name. Thanks There are several possible solutions for you. The main thing you need to do is make sure you have a valid domain name like myserver.mydomain.org, where myserver is the actual hostname, mydomain.org is the domain name, and myserver.mydomain.org is the fully qualified domain name. The reason for this is that many mail servers refuse to relay or even receive mail from servers for which they con't do a dns lookup. A dns lookup requires having your server registered with a domain, thus the need for a sully qualified domain name. name.vc.shawcable.net might work, as long as your ISP maintains a dns entry for that host name. To test this, have someone out on the Internet try to ping or traceroute to your system. If they can resolve the domain name into an IP address and find you, then everything is ok. Otherwise, you will need to register a domain, either a permanent domain name, or a subdomain of a public domain name provider like dyndns.org. I use dyndns.org, and they work fine. They allow you to have either a dynamic or static IP address, and give you a host name of myserver.dyndns.org. My server is sildara.dyndns.org, and you should be able to point your web browser to my server and see a boring web page. There are other things to be aware of, like the possibility that your ISP will block certain ports (especially port 80, because of the Code Red worm from a few months back). Also, depending on how your cable modem works, you might need to do some special configuration to allow your server to be visible to the Internet. Do some more reading of the docs, and if you have more questions, just post them. Dave --- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

To receive mail, you need to have a domain to which people can send. And to send or relay mail, many servers are set to refuse mail from another server (like yours) to which they can't do a dns lookup and verify your server's fully qualified domain name (fqdn). One workaround for this is to register with dyndns.org or another free dns service, in which you will be given a host name like sildara.dyndns.org (that's mine). Then, if you set up your mail server to use this valid fqdn, you are good to go. I use postfix, and it was quite simple to get going. To get specific, I have an email address at my isp ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). When I set up my mail server at home, I plan to give it an arbitrary fully qualified domain name (that will not be registered) and then use aliases or whatever to make the system work. (I'll probably use fetchmail to get the mail, let postfix / procmail sort it, then let postfix send it. I won't need the FQDN for fetchmail, but I guess I will need if for Postfix so that upstream mail providers don't think I'm an illegal relay (or whatever).) (I'll probably use something like system8.home.z as my non-registered FQDN, where system8 is the host name of my main Linux box, home is the workgroup of my Windows network, and z is totally arbitrary, but avoids any chance of collision with a real two or three letter top level domain.) I use a non-registered domain internally as well, but for external domain name resolution you will need something that everyone else can find. It sounds like you already know this. Postfix is really easy to configure, and the included documentation has three sample configs for various sizes of networks. I host two domains (one non-registered, one registered), plus the dyndns fqdn on my server. I have both web and mail at sildara.dyndns.org. Detailed pointers would be appreciated, but a general yes, this can work, you're on the right track (or the opposite) would be very helpful.

RE: [newbie] SecurityUpdates and Kernel 2.4.8-31.2mdk
I think that kernel update is only to fix the symlink flaw found in linux recently.. its not likely to be a target, but some times it pays to be sure. don't use MandrakeUpdate to get the kernel, use a browser to go to the address that MandrakeUpdate is using (in define sources) and download the kernel rpm by itself that way.. then go to the directory that you saved it in and type: rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.8.i586.rpm (swapping the x for whatever the kernel name is) and hit enter. that will install the kernel along side the old one, so that if the install doesn't work, you have not hosed your old kernel and can still boot from that.. thats the only think wrong with using the 8.1 update to load your kernel.. if it doesnt' update perfectly, it will upgrade your current kernel, with a dud one, and you won't be able to boot anymore. Thats why you load it manually.. if you restart and select the new kernel from the lilo or grub menu and it works.. then great, uninstall the old kernel( I always leave it myself, just in case) or just move the new kernel to the top of the list (/boot/grub/menu.lst) or /etc/lilo.conf and it will then boot the new kernel by default. all you need is the kernel .i586 rpm, in your case kernel-2.4.8-31.2mdk.i586.rpm don't worry about the others, they are either source packages, alternative 2.2 kernel series or the headers, docs and stuff, they are not needed to get your system booting the new kernel. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Andre Dubuc Sent: Thursday, 3 January 2002 10:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] SecurityUpdates and Kernel 2.4.8-31.2mdk Well, I finally got SoftwareUpdate to work again.

Re: [newbie] ES1989 sound card
http://www.clearwater.com.au/pcm-9574/index.php?page=journal.html The kernel does seem to have driver support for the ESS1989 audio chip set, via the maestro3 module. The source code identifies it as ESS Maestro3/Allegro driver for Linux 2.4.x by Zach Brown. I played around for a while, and was able to get as far finding that modprobe maestro3 logs the following to /var/log/messages. May 12 19:05:45 sweet kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:0b.0 May 12 19:05:45 sweet kernel: maestro3: Configuring ESS Allegro found at IO 0xE800 IRQ 9 May 12 19:05:45 sweet kernel: maestro3: subvendor id: 0x May 12 19:05:46 sweet kernel: ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x4583:0x8308 (ESS Allegro ES1988) May 12 19:05:46 sweet modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-0-6 But I wasn't able to make any sound, and eventually found I wasn't making any forward progress. I also found that the ALSA project now supports the ESS-1989 Allegro-1. I downloaded the drivers, libraries and tools packages for version 0.5.10b. Initially I encountered this running ./configure: checking for kernel version... expr: syntax error expr: syntax error expr: syntax error failed (probably missing /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h) After a bit of digging the solution turned out to be: rpm -Uvh kernel-source-2.4.2-2.i386.rpm ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.2 /usr/src/linux Next, running make generated a whole ton of compiler warnings, and eventually failed at: In file included from seq_queue.h:26, from seq.c:28: seq_timer.h:78: conflicting types for `timer_t' A quick inspection shows that the ALSA source is defining a type timer_t, which is already defined by the system. This doesn't look like something I want to dig into. Conclusion: the ALSA sources do not build out of the box with RH 7.1. Out of time and patience, I resorted to the excellent OSS drivers. I downloaded the latest version, untarred it, and after simply doing this: ./oss-install /usr/lib/oss/soundon I have audio! Gotta give those guys credit for the simplicity and quality of their software. So I'm almost back where I started. I now have the current version of gcc (which was the motivation for doing this in the first place) and audio is again operational. For the record, building my current work project on this little baby with 64Mb of RAM takes about 22 seconds, whereas building on my new Pentium IV 1.4GHz with 256Mb takes about 16 seconds. I suspect a large part of the difference is due to the extra RAM. The P4 really doesn't seem much faster than the P3.

[newbie] New disk question
Hi Civilme answered a question yesterday I think it was. Currently my Linux box is on a 1.2 gig drive. Its partitioned into 2 600 meg drive.. Ok. Here is what I want to do. Take a 4 gig that I am installing Linux onto as we speak and then access my data off the old drive. Only thing I really have on the old drive is some files.. not a lot there but some. Is that doable? Or must I have both drives in the computer at the same time? Eric

[newbie] Is CGI set up for user accounts from normal install?
I have a server on an intranet. Is CGI already set up? If so, where do I put my CGIs for new users? I tried to add a cgi-bin to a user's home directory, for myself, because I was worried about running CGIs as root, if that would even happen. So, I made a cgi-bin and set the permissions, but I get a You don't have permission error message. The permissions were set to 755, so everyone could read and execute but only I could write. I checked this over and over. Is there some reason that I can't *yet* run CGIs other than file permissions? I tried FTPing the files as ascii and I tried just writing them on the linux machine. I've also used stock, very easy intro scripts that just return Hello world to the browser. And I've successfully used CGI on my personal machine hosted by professionals. It appears to me -- I installed Mandrake myself -- that CGI isn't set up correctly for a user account. How do I do that? Could someone either explain or point me to some place where I can read how to set up CGI for users on Mandrake Linux running Apache?

Eric, You will need to have both drives in the machine. Simply install the new drive, set the jumper to Master, and set your old drive's jumper to Slave.

[newbie] Compressed kernel modules, how?
Hi all, I recently re-compiled my kernel. After the exercise I had all my modules there but not like the modules as supplied by Mandrake which are all gzipped. What is the make directive that does this or is this done afterwards? I used the classic 'make modules make modules_install' which leaves the modules uncompressed. A good advise to those who want to compile: do a 'make mrproper' as 1st step when using the Mandrake packaged kernel sources cause otherwise you get the strangest errors. Guy.

Re: [newbie] what to use for hostname
Dave Sherman wrote: This is partially true. To receive mail, you need to have a domain to which people can send. And to send or relay mail, many servers are set to refuse mail from another server (like yours) to which they can't do a dns lookup and verify your server's fully qualified domain name (fqdn). One workaround for this is to register with dyndns.org or another free dns service, in which you will be given a host name like sildara.dyndns.org (that's mine). Then, if you set up your mail server to use this valid fqdn, you are good to go. I use postfix, and it was quite simple to get going. Dave, Thanks!

Re: [newbie] Is CGI set up for user accounts from normal install?
So far it's still not working. I get a file not found error. Is www/cis/cgi-bin relative to what I set as DocumentRoot? In otherwords, do I need to include the full path to the cgi bin or just the part after documentroot? Or does documentroot even have anything to with this? I set documentroot to /home/mitch/www/htdocs. If the cgi bin is in /home/mitch/www/cgi-bin, what do I do in Directory? Because I have a directory structure like: /home/mitch/www/htdocs/myscript.html /home/mitch/www/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi Here's what I have in my html file calling the cgi: form method=post action=../cgi-bin/myscript.cgi I thought maybe trying to go up one directory ../ to get into the cgi-bin might be causing a problem, because documentroot was /home/mitch/www/htdocs. I don't know, but it just seemed to be making things not-so simple and straightforward. So I changed it to: /home/mitch/www/htdocs/myscript.html /home/mitch/www/htdocs/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi Then I redid the permissions and the html file to say action =cgi-bin/myscript.cgi and again as /cgi-bin/myscript.cgi but neither worked. I still get the file not found error.

However, when I try to print anything else, the printer sucks a sheet of paper through and spits it out without printing anything--almost like a form feed. Tried removing and re-configuring to no avail. I ran PUPS and got a message that I don't have permission to access the device /dev/lp0. I checked ls /dev/lp0 and it returned /dev/lp0@ flashing red.

You have to make sure you're making a distinction between actual websites you're serving (localhost) and user accounts (e.g. localhost/~miark) because they're configured differently. The example you gave below controls localhost, but not user accounts. And by the way, those are absolute paths.

So, I made a cgi-bin and set the permissions, but I get a You don't have permission error message. The permissions were set to 755, so everyone could read and execute but only I could write. I checked this over and over. Is there some reason that I can't *yet* run CGIs other than file permissions? I tried FTPing the files as ascii and I tried just writing them on the linux machine. I've also used stock, very easy intro scripts that just return Hello world to the browser. And I've successfully used CGI on my personal machine hosted by professionals. It appears to me -- I installed Mandrake myself -- that CGI isn't set up correctly for a user account. How do I do that? Could someone either explain or point me to some place where I can read how to set up CGI for users on Mandrake Linux running Apache? Everthing I find is either just reference material -- which doesn't help if you're a newbie -- or how to write CGIs. mitch Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] named configuration
Hi Ed, This is what I sent to Ric Tibbets privately. He bravely offered to help. As I said to to him, I have configured a DNS server before - bind, on NT, but it was long enough ago that although I undertand the concepts of DNS well enough, I've forgotten some of the basic terms, and the linux info is cryptic, and is no reminder for me. Here are the basic data: My fixed IP is 209.173.210.166. The friendly name of my sub-domain is julianop.swdata.com. My ISP is putting it out to the world today, hopefully. My upstream DNS servers are 206.196.47.10 20. My LAN is currently behind my Cisco 678 dsl router which is doing NAT and answers to 10.0.0.1 My Linux box is called anoka.julianop.swdata.com at 10.0.0.2, and should be the primary dns server for my LAN, which is to say that my WIn98/2k boxes will look to 10.0.0.2 for DNS. anoka also has the alias mail.julianop.swdata.com, as it will run sendmail (or more likely Postfix) and a POP3 server when I find one. LAN Win98/2k stations are sierra/pongo/monsta.julianop.swdata.com at 10.0.0.3/5/4 respectively. Anoka should run bind (named) and:- a) serve DNS for local LAN-based machines on the julianop.swdata.com sub-domain from /etc/hosts, and b) go to the ISP's DNS mentioned above for Internet DNS lookups. That's it ! I've played with bindconf, but need a little refresher on what's what. julian.

Tim, Sorry, I can't answer you're question positively, I really wanted to ask you a question -- what brand/model of KVM are you using, and is it set up for PS/2 or AT type ports (or USB)? I'm still using a mechanical KVM with AT ports, with three computers that use AT ports and one that uses PS/2 ports. The (PS/2) keyboard words fine works fine through the KVM to the PS/2 computer with appropriate adapters, but I had no luck at all with the PS/2 mouse port, so I set that computer up to use the serial port for the mouse. I'd be interested in any experiences you've had along similar lines. I had planned to upgrade to an electronic KVM, but had trouble determining whether it would work properly, and, in the end, it ain't broke, so I decided not to fix it (for the time being).

Re: [newbie] Problem with Mouse Freezing.
Tim, I have had similar experiences with Windows NT 4 and Linux. The problem stems from the manual switch not sending a keep alive or still here signal on the mouse when switching devices. Windows in general handles this better than Linux as it doesn't care if the mouse is there or not, it just reacts to a new signal. I know blasphemy windows better than Linux, hardly. Suggestions to fix this: 1) Connect a second mouse to the Linux mouse port, while still using the keyboard and monitor on the switch, or 2) Get a electronic switch which maintains a pseudo connection while switched to another device.
