[newbie-it] domandina...
Salve alla lista. Alcuni giochi hanno cessato improvvisamente di funzionare sotto Gnome e KDE, mentre funzionano egregiamente sotto IceWM. Da console l'unico che mi dà qualche info in più è quake 3 (received signal 11, exiting...), mentre gli altri mi dicono solo segmentation fault... Perchè poi devono funzionare solo sotto IceWM è un mistero. I giochi sono: Quake 3 e Soldier of Fortune. All'inizio però le prime partite sono funzionate... bo?? Gli altri giochi (SimCity ecc.) funzionano alla perfezione. Chi sa risolvere il mistero? PS: la mia scheda grafica è la Abit T400 (GeForce 2MX - 64MB). Il mio sistema è Linux Mandrake 8.1 Power Pack Edition. I driver sono quelli Nvidia, me li ha installati direttamente il sistema. Ciao ;)
Re: [newbie-it] Installazione di un driver
Ciao Giorgio, grazie per la cortesia, la cosa a me non sembra così scontata; il file mgmt.o è nelle mie mani (lo ho dezippato con Windows) e l'ho trasferito sulla partizione Linux in una directory Home\utente\SpeedTouch come suggerito dalle istruzioni. A questo punto le istruzioni dicono di dare il comando: make install MA DOVE ? devo dare questo comando ? non sono mica in DOS dove c'era un prompt che aspettava istruzioni. Inoltre cosa intendi per RPM ? quei due indirizzi sul sito Mandrake non si aprono da giorni e vanno in: Impossibile aprire il sito. io penso di essere ancora in alto mare. ciao Marco - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 10:01 AM Subject: Re: [newbie-it] Installazione di un driver Io ho la versione Mandrake 8.1.

Sbirciati dentro da Windows i primi due parlano di diritti di copiatur a, il terzo sono le istruzioni di installazione (che vi riporto di segui to) 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 forse di una pag ina (?!?). Qualcuno sa spiegarmi in modo un po' meno complicato come devo procede re ? faccio seguire le istruzioni (a mio avviso troppo laboriose) dell'Alca tel: -- -- 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 appli cation. (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 enable d: - 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 Makefile Then type: make then become root and type: make install To be able to use this driver, you will have to install more than thes e two packages. After installation of this package (and plugging in the mode m) your system 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 do Ethernet 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 approp riate line in the /etc/hotplug/usb/speedtouch file after the startup of the management application. When you have your bridging ethernet interface (nas0) you can install a PPPoE 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 als o have to download the pppd source and patch that.

Eric Linux is not like DOS -- you can't just access a drive by its letter or anything like that. Instead, each drive must be mounted on your root filesystem. You can probably access the drive by mounting /dev/hdc (or maybe /dev/hdb, depending upon how the cdrom was detected). The hard drive devices are named 'hdx' (for hard drive x, where 'x' is a, b, c... in order of primacy on the IDE channel). cdrom's sometimes appear as a hard drive if they are ordinary ide drives, or will appear as scsi devices if they are cd burners. So, assuming your second hard drive is /dev/hdb, you can mount it on your root filesystem as a directory, maybe call it /ohd (for 'old hard drive'). Once it is mounted as a directory, you can access it and do whatever copying or transferring of data you need to do. Then, just unmount it and you are ready to go. The mount command might be something like this (must be done as root): mount -t ext2 /dev/hdc /ohd There are lots of other options to the mount command, 'man mount' for more info on it.

Re: [newbie] named configuration
I have written up the necessary config files for your dns, Julian. They
may need some tweaking, but they should match the setup you describe
below.
The named.conf goes in /etc. The other two files go in /var/named, and
are the actual files which named (dns) uses to keep track on computers
and IP addresses. They are the actual database files, while named.conf
simply tells named that those files exist, and where to find them.
The config is based on my my own dns system (which works perfectly),
which is running on a RedHat 6.2 server. There may be some minor
differences with the Mandrake version of named, but I don't know for
sure. Just try them out, and if they don't work right away, read the
docs and tweak the files as necessary.
Anyway, once they are working, set your local PCs to use your Linux
server as their primary dns server, and it will be able to resolve your
local network for you.

Now what? :-) Thanks for your patience with me, I'm sure we're nearly at the bottom of this. julian. if you are running DNS (named / bind), on anoka, and have the others set to look at anoka for dns, then anoka will look at the files under /var/named (or whatever the directory option is set to in /etc/named.conf). These files (either directly under /var/named, or under some subdirectory (possibly zone), are what will equate a name to an IP on your local network. Now we seem to be getting somewhere ... To set all this up, you'd have to learn bind's syntax for what it calls 'zone' files. AHA! So bind DOES do local DNS, it just doesn't use /hosts to do it. It uses another file type. Bingo!!! I think this is the diamond I've been looking for! Thanks! I'll go off and research that. Thanks again.

Re: [newbie] Is CGI set up for user accounts from normal install?
Thanks, everyone, for the help so far. I'm still having problems though. I made a public_html directory in my home directory and entered the directory entry for it in commonhttpd.conf, where all other such entries are located. (commonhttpd.conf is included into httpd.conf with Include.) Now at least the cgi file is found when I run it -- I no longer get the file not found error. But now I get a 500 Internal Server error.

Suppose you wanted the user wilson to run cgi scripts in a directory called cgi-bin through the URL .../~wilson/cgi-bin, then you need to have the Directory Directive with the absolute path to that directory Directory /home/wilson/public_html/cgi-bin AddHandler cgi-script cgi Options +ExecCGI /Directory Then make sure that /home/wilson/public_html/cgi-bin has world execute permission and the scripts in that directory have world execute permission.

DNS for the local LAN has to be handled by a NS that has authority for my LAN. Who else could that be than my local Linux server running DNS? Yes only for himself, and all the systems on your local Lan need the same hosts file information, So they all do it for themselves. If it's not in the hosts file (not on the local lan) it queries the nameservers. Here's my line-up: My fixed IP is 209.173.210.166, and it has a real name of julianop.swdata.com. I assume that the registered domain is swdata.com w/ ip 209.173.210.166 I assume that the Linux box will have two NICS one NIC with ip 209.173.210.166 which will be connected to the Internet (with a registered FQDN) and the second NIC with ip 10.0.0.1/24 which will be connected to your local LAN The local lan will use a local non-registered FQDN (maybe mydomain.zzz) And the Linux system will be doing Network Address Translation (Masq) No, the Cisco 678 DSL router does NAT, and handles that for me - much simpler!!! I'm making julianop.swdata.com a subdomain, and will, when I get this all sorted out, run FTP, HTPP, SMTP, and POP3 servers. Are you going to run these services on the gateway machine (above)? On the Linux box, which won't be the gateway: The Cisco router will, as stated above. I have four machines: anoka.julianop.swdata.com (linux server at 10.0.0.2, DNS set to 206.196.47.10 20), sierra.julianop.swdata.com (win98 at 10.0.0.3, DNS to 10.0.0.2), monsta.julianop.swdata.com (win98 at 10.0.0.5, DNS to 10.0.0.2), and pongo.julianop.swdata.com (win98 at 10.0.0.5, DNS to 10.0.0.2). They are on my private lan, behind NAT. No DNS server in the world is going to answer a DNS request from sierra asking what pongo's IP address is. Are you going to use port forwarding? That's how the various services like SMTP, HTTP, get from outside real world IPs to local private IPs, right? If so, the Cisco router will do that. Are you going to do VPN (Virtual Private Network)? No. Shouldn't these local lan machines use a non-registered domain name? They could. But as the Linux box will be providing services to the outside world, it's easier to put them all on the same subdomain and let the router do the mapping. Sierra doesn't yet know that pongo is on it's own subnet - it could be off in Outer Mongolia, so it sends a DNS request to the DNS server it's been told to ask for IP resolution. These machines are all on the same subnet 10.0.0.0/24 Right. Who fulfills DNS requests for local machines if not anoka? I've been told that bind doesn't look at /etc/hosts, which brought my world crashing down. Now what? :-) Is anoka the gateway machine? No, the DSL router is.

My laptop time runs about 98% linux - 2% windows. My onboard lan includes a winmodem, which remarkably is supported and functional. But the lan was recognized and setup out of the box on installation of Mandrake. Best of luck with your choice! hth, Bill W.

Eric Linux is not like DOS -- you can't just access a drive by its letter or anything like that. Instead, each drive must be mounted on your root filesystem. You can probably access the drive by mounting /dev/hdc (or maybe /dev/hdb, depending upon how the cdrom was detected). The hard drive devices are named 'hdx' (for hard drive x, where 'x' is a, b, c... in order of primacy on the IDE channel). cdrom's sometimes appear as a hard drive if they are ordinary ide drives, or will appear as scsi devices if they are cd burners. So, assuming your second hard drive is /dev/hdb, you can mount it on your root filesystem as a directory, maybe call it /ohd (for 'old hard drive'). Once it is mounted as a directory, you can access it and do whatever copying or transferring of data you need to do. Then, just unmount it and you are ready to go. The mount command might be something like this (must be done as root): mount -t ext2 /dev/hdc /ohd There are lots of other options to the mount command, 'man mount' for more info on it.

Re: [newbie] Is CGI set up ... FIXED
The problem was the group permissions: the cgi-bin and files were owned by the root group. I changed ownership to the mitch group, and now my cgi scripts run from a link in a web page when called with a browser. I had created the cgi-bin as root orginally, because I thought that only the admin could do it. Now I see that's not true, since the commonhttpd.conf allows the owner of a public_html directory to create their own cgi-bin. Maybe there shouldn't be a mitch group? Anyway, I'm just glad it works. Thanks for the help everyone! I learned a lot about some subjects that were just vauge to me before, ie, apache configuration files and commands. The correct permissions were already set for cgi in the commonhttpd.conf, which gets included into httpd.conf; so I didn't need to change anything in there.

You could install XP on a fat32 fs instead and Linux will recognize the partition. Another option might be to make a small pimary partition at the beginning of the drive (C) so that XP will install it's special files there, installing XP then to the next partition as NTFS5 and then Mandrake on yet another extended partition. This will allow proper dual booting of XP or Linux. However, you still won't be able to read the NTFS5 from within Linux. cheers deg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Nev Frankly, very nominal at best, using Athlon arch can actualy have adverse affects on your performance if something isn't just tweaked correctly (speaking in terms of hardware not software). There was a heavy discussion on the lkml sometime back, and I was somewhat surprised when RedHat chose to include an Athlon optimized kernel in their default install of 7.2. I see no speakable difference between my Mandrake 8.1 using i686 arch and my RedHat 7.2 install using the Athlon kernel. NOTE: They are different kernel versions, but thats a different story all together.

Re: satelite internet was Re: [newbie] Question - school related so ignore if you want.
Could you tell more on this satelite subject. I do inland shipping in europe for a living and for the moment am restricted by 9,6 kb gsm modem when I'm 'on the canal/road'. GPRS seemd to offer an option but satelite seems to offer better results, though over here 2-way isn't possible yet, due to restrictive legislation. If by on the canal you mean while travelling, the satellite systems I've looked into wouldn't be an option. Both systems (that I've looked at) available here in the states require fairly large, permanently mounted dishes. The other problem is they are partners with the evil empire, and they require that the modem be connected to a windows box. So I have a little 233 sadly running win2k that provides internet connection to the rest of my network.

[newbie] mandrake 8.1 on a sony vaio
I wonder if anyone has had the experience of installing Md 8.1 on a Sony Vaio PCG-982L ( the number on the back of the lap top). However the system information windows says it's a PCG-FX250(UC). In trying to find the other information, I get: an Intel Pentium III, 800 mhz, 256k RAM, 20gig hard drive, running windows ME. Bios are PheonixBios 4.0. Intel(R)82815 graphics controller.AnologDevicesInc Soundmax.Cd is a Matshita ujda710. Modem is a Conexant-Ambit 56k DataFax Internal. I don't know where to go to get the motherboard or other designations. But the problem is that both Md 8.0 and 8.1 freeze up at configuring PCMIA cards, which is right up front on the install.

Re: [newbie] Is CGI set up ... FIXED
It's typical of the Linux filesystem, regardless of what the file is, or who it belongs to. It's not a problem that a script is owned by root, but in order for others to run it, the permission for others must be open. That is, a script owned by root can't be run by others if it's 700, but it can if it's 755. Let me know if that doesn't make sense.

Barbara Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com You added a linux-extended partiton type, most probably. In most circumstances Diskdrake can make sense of this, but it is a partition table recovery item, so it will not always do so. You see, the partition table on a drive is 66 bytes, the last 66 bytes of the 512 bytes of the first sector on the disk Each entry is 16 bytes and there are two signature bytes at the end of the 4 entries. A primary partition has the first and last block of the partition, a number, and a type. There can be at most 4 primary partitions. An extended entry just points to the first sector of an extension and defines the total area. In the first sector of the extension are two partition table entries, the first a partition definition just like the primary partition table that points to the firast genuine partition, and then a pointer to the first sector of the remaining partition available for additional extensions So extensions are defined in a chain. This explains why people with windows extended partitons sometimes can no longer findd them after installing linux--the windows search quits as soon as it encounters a non-windows partition. Now if you say a partition type is linux-extended or just extended then the data fields to be read will have either random data from previous use or filler characters from a previous format, not likely to define a proper chain. In most circumstances, Diskdrake detects this situation and decides thaqt since it is the last entry, the partition table can be corrected... just drop the extended partition. But if the data defines something possible but say overlapping with previous partitioning, diskdrake gives up with a blank table. OK Open a terminal su to root # fdisk /dev/hda or whatever is the drive where you added the partition p to print the partition table on your screen note the number of the partition you added. d to delete the last entry it will ask for the number w to rewrite the partition table and exit # reboot Now you should be able top proceed as before, with a partition table that diskdrake can recognize Naturally, next time you call diskdrake, note that you can save the partiton table to floppy or restore it from floppy from within diskdrake.

Re: [newbie] NFS mounts

I understand that NFS shares are created using /etc/export, but what do I put in there? The /etc/exports publishes a list of folders available to be mounted by other computers. This is an extract from mine. /home/abi 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw) # Abi Home /mnt/windows 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw)# windows partition After changing the exports file type 'export -ra' to update the advertised exports. Control Center then allows me to do NFS mounts - prompts for Server and shared resource. I presume that server is just the host name associated with an IP address and shared resource is whatever I put in /etc/exports??? ?? Not sure what you are referring to. You do not need control centre to mount shares. To mount a share on a remote computer the best thing to do is to have it listed in your /etc/fstab file. Here is an extract from mine:- VAIO:/home/rosie /mnt/rosievaio nfs user,rw,soft,noauto,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0 Andy:/home/andy /mnt/andySIS nfs user,rw,soft,noauto,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0 Here Andy and VAIO are remote computers (Listed in my /etc/hosts table), the block size of 8192 makes for faster file transfer (the default is 4096), The 'soft' parameter means that if 1 computer is switched off the share will become unmounted. A 'hard' share will keep trying to remount the share ad infinitum. This is a pain because it will 'hang' during shut down if the remote computer is not switched on to gracefully unmount the share. No auto means it will not automatically mount at boot. 'auto' will make it mount at boot. I can mount these shares easily with 'mount /mnt/rosievaio' for example. Kwikdisk is handy because then you can mount a remote file share by clicking on an icon in the system tray. Be warned NFS is not very secure. Avoid using it on lans exposed to the internet, and at the very least insert all hosts which may use NFS in /etc/hosts.allow, and all IP ranges on the same seg who are not permitted into /etc/hosts.deny To use NFS you must have portmapper, the nfs daemon, and the nfslock daemon running. Refer to the howto in mandrakeuser. (Obviously the remote computer must be running them too) Derek Any help much appreciated!

Re: [newbie] Question - school related -- Have we been conned????
As for the lack of a .edu email, I think only the staff would get those. I thought that this sounded like a continuing education thing. This depends on the University or institution in question. For example, at the University of West Florida (which I graduated from in Fall 2000), students are given something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Of course, as a CS major, I also had accounts on the CS departmental server, as well as on the lab sparcs. I also have an account on a server run by a group called Web Spinners, which I was one of the founding members for, @wsdo.sao.uwf.edu or @webspinners.uwf.org . Of course, in all cases, I was never technically 'staff' per-se, (especially for the general / cs accounts), since I was (and still am) a 'volunteer' out there.
