Re: [newbie-it] 2 versioni di linux sullo stesso disco
è possibile installare 2 versioni differenti di linux sullo stesso dis co? Certo ... io ne ho 3 ;-) Puoi farlo tranquillamente, condividendo la partizione di swap e, se vuoi anche la home. Io personalmente ho questa configurazione: hda (8 Gb): Win98 SE hdb (40 Gb)- cinque partizioni: una per Mandrake 8.1, una per la home di Mdk 8.1, una per la partizione di swap (condivisa), e le ultime due per provare altre distro (attualmente RedHat 7.2 e SuSE 7.2). Per evitare di dover mettere mano spesso al bootloader ho installato i singoli bootloader delle distribuzioni sulle relative partizioni lasciando gestire il boot iniziale da xosl (www.xosl.org) un ottimo bootloader grafico opensource con licenza GPL che richiama e attiva il lilo (o grub) del sistema scelto. Ciao Marco

Re: [newbie-it] terminali e shell
bosva wrote: Se sei in ambiente grafico devi aprire un terminale o una shell scusate la domanda da super newbie...ma terminale e shell sono sinonimi no? bosva Non del tutto. Una shell (sh, bash, tcshell, bush, ksh, zsh,...) e` un interprete dei comandi che l'utente da al sistema. Nella terminologia classica di UNIX il sistema si considerava composto di due parti: il nucleo (kernel) che gestisce i rapporti con l'hardware e il guscio(shell) che gestisce i rapporti con l'utente. Col tempo sul guscio si sono sovrapposte le interfaccie grafiche. In realta` quando fai login grafico apri anche una shell. Una shell viene attivata in una console virtuale (cntrol-alt-Fn + login) o in un emulatore di terminale (konsole, xterm, eterm, ...). ciao, andrea

[newbie] Error messages during shutting down
Hello everybody! =) I'm currently using Mandrake 8.1 on Asus CUVR4X-C motherboard, Intel Pentium III 800 Mhz, 384 MB SDRAM and 20 GB Seagate Barraccuda 7200 RPM hard disk drive. My problem started when I successfully installed kernel-2.4.16.9mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm in my Mandrake 8.1 system. As most (if not all) of you know, Mandrake 8.1 has a default kernel version of 2.4.8. Basically, I did upgrade my default kernel. I installed my new kernel version using the command of: # rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.16.9mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm Also, my partitions and filesystems are: /boot - ext2fs /usr - XFS /home - XFS /opt - XFS /var - XFS swap / - ext2fs ...and I also add lines in my LILO for my new kernel to boot-up. Actually, I am encountering error messages during shutting down my system. Below are the error messages that are displayed during shutdown: /etc/rc0.d/S01halt: line -76: 5401 segmentation fault $* What does the error messages mean? How will I get over it? So far, I haven't encountered any problems yet using my new kernel 2.4.16.9 installed except for the error messages during shutting down.

I really don't think you'd have to. That's why you make the linux disk the master. It will boot from hda, it will be hda. Then, it will see teh winders as hdb probably as a new device.

[newbie] Downloading proper Nvidia driver file
Hello: Recently my video card died, and I replaced it with a 32Mb DDR Nvidia Ge Force 2GTS. My hard drive is partitioned, so installing the proper drivers for my windows portion was uneventful. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about my linux partition. When I boot up in linux, I can only get the console (terminal) mode, in runlevel 3. So I need to install the drivers in linux as well. I visited the nvidia site and according to their instructions I need to download two files. One is the glx file and the other is an .rpm kernel file which corresponds to my system. Question is, it is not clear to me, which is the correct file. I have installed Mandrake 8.0 with kernel 2.4.3 (i.e. the standard installation of mandrake power pack edition). The options in the nvidia site are: the UP kernel, the enterprise kernel, or the smp kernel. Any ideas which is the file I should d/l, or at least how to find out? Also, I don't play video games in my system, is there by any chance some kind of generic driver I can install, which was included with the original powerpak package? Thanks in advance.

Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com I see nothing obvious in the halt script except the possibility that you somehow have Aurora called in a non-fb kernel. Everything else there would be straightforward. The other possibility would be unmounting a non-existent device (a device file under the old kernel that is not setup under the new, and obviously one you do not use, but even that does not explain a segfault. More likely, something is out of synchronization or your initrd.img points to the wrong set of modules (which should cause considerably more trouble than this).

I've installed Mandrake 7.2 on machines with as little as 32 MB, and even ran KDE on them (slowly). I had larger hard disks, but you can squeeze it into 400 MB -- you just have to pick what you want. Will this be your first install of Linux? If so, might be a little tough, but I'd give it a shot. Mandrake usually offers to install a percentage of the available packages if they won't all fit, and I'd expect that they select the packages in that percentage with the most important first (or at least a core of important packages).

[newbie] Accessing Windows Files
Hello All, I am a newcomer to Linux and to this list. I hope that you will not be bothered by my extremely elementary questions. I have installed Mandrake 8.1 in a dual boot with Windows 2000 on my Dell desktop. The first thing I would like to do is get some of my previous text documents transferred from the Windows sector into Linux. But with the KDE file manager, I cannot see into the Windows area. Can someone advise me on how to do this? Thank you.

Re: [newbie] OpenOffice build 641c
Build would mean compile. Since precompiled binaries are available, there is no need to compile the source yourself. The installation only takes a few minutes. One word of warning: OpenOffice.org/StarOffice 6 is still beta-quality software. At present, I have found that it performs a little faster than SO 5.2. Since speed optimisation usually comes last in the development cycle, expect this to improve with the final version. Another thing to watch out for is stability. OpenOffice.org Build 641c has proven to be reasonably stable for me, but I have experienced the odd crash and document file corruption. Keep backups of your work if you're editing them in OpenOffice.org/SO6.

Re: [newbie] USB Modems
On Friday 11 January 2002 09:37 pm, Andre Dubuc wrote: I'm considering an USB hardware modem [AOpen FM56-RU] to replace my AOpen FM56-ITU/2 hardware ISA modem. I'd like to free up the ISA slot for an old scanner. I've checked LM Hardware database using my ISA modem and it declares my present moidm unsupported! Do any usb modems function with LM8 or 8.1? If not, could you recommend a good external modem? Tia, Andre Andre: I'm not sure how the economics work out, but what about an old fashioned serial port external modem? NO drivers, NO web searches, NO downloads, NO hassle -- just a simple serial cable, and that's all that there is. Yes, you do have to find a plug for the power wart and a place to set the box, but those are simple problems. In return, you get lights -- sometimes useful for problem solving, and always entertaining during long downloads. And it's very simple to move it from one box to another. Main point, though: It simply works. Efficiently and quietly. And, if you use a good protection device (lightning will kill modems almost instantly), it will last for a long time. A confession: A family emergency arose last month that required providing my wife with a PC with dialup access -- NOW!! The PC was no problem, as I just happened to have an old box with Mandrake 8.0 installed. However, it didn't have a modem. So I went to the local Staples, and the only thing that I found that I was certain would work was a real honest-to-God genuine authentic bona fide serial modem. Bought it, brought it home, plugged it in, Mandrake recognized it, and it worked just as advertised. The problem was solved, and I continue to eat well. IMHO, this beats the hell out of mucking about with web searches, drivers, patches, config files and all of that other stuff. Summary: If it's in your budget, get a real modem. External is better than internal. Good luck, Carroll Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re:[newbie] Fetchmail Configure
I've just recently started using fetchmail myself. You'll want to first get procmail (the Mail Delivery Agent that comes in your Mandrake distribution) configured first, and then configure fetchmail to fetch your mail and have them processed by procmail (which will sort them and put them in the mail folder of your choice, etc... with recipes that you can write). About the best fetchmail documentation that I've found is the on-line documentation (type man fetchmail). It's not step-by-step, but if you read through it, it's not too bad. You can find some good introductions to procmail for newbies from the www.procmail.org website. I found Nancy McGeough's overview for newbies at the following site especially helpful:http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/ After reviewing the fetchmail and procmail documentation you may still have a few questions, but hopefully these will give you a start.

After installing your kernel with # rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.x-xmdk.i586.rpm look in /boot where your new vmlinuz/images will have been installed. Sometimes the new kernel installation adds the new kernel vmlinuz (boot image) to /etc/lilo.conf for you (usually at the bottom of the file). If it has not already been added for you, add it yourself. For example when I installed a new kernel (2.4.16.3mdk-1-1mdkenterprise) I added: image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.16.3mdk-1-1mdkenterprise label=24163-1-1mdkent root=/dev/hda5 read-only optional vga=normal append= hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi devfs=nomount mem=1152M You can use similar parameters to your existing kernel listing in the lilo.conf file. The label can be anything you like so that you can identify it when lilo gives you the option at boot. If you want to make the new kernel your default to boot, just change the default= (near the top of the file) to your new kernel label. After saving the file, you must run lilo for changes to take effect.

Probably won't be a lot of use here, but assuming you have correctly configured your monitor refresh rates/horizonta/vertical frequencies have you got access to another video card ? I ask because I had an S3Trio64/3D which I could never get to work, in the end I gave up and bought a different one On Saturday 22 December 2001 06:39 am, you wrote: Hi All, I have a monitor that is NOT listed but does 1024/768 and an S3Trio Video Card.

I can reproduce this message exactly if you need to see it fully, but does anyone have any ideas that might get me up and running?

I've checked several websites and have found that I should use axnet_cs as the driver. Unfortunately, that driver is not listed in the table the command center is presenting to me. /etc/pcmcia/config shows that your card is shown as: Linksys Etherfast 10/100 Fast Ethernet or Linksys Etherfast PCMPC100 V3 Fast Ethernet You should try these. If it doesn't work the following cards use axnet_cs driver: -Asix AX88190 Fast Ethernet -Ambicom AMB8110 Fast Ethernet etc. To try more look for axnet_cs string in /etc/pcmcia/config Hope that helps... ;) -- Joan Tur.

When I go to my work site (npr.org) to listen to a real-audio file, I keep getting an error that says that I have some conflict with the audio being opened. Audio does work, I have the KDE startup and exit music, I can play CD audio as well. I also have play audio from various games. In this multi-user environment, what else should I check for to see what could be taking away the audio from Real Player? I'm using LM 8.1 and I think the RealPlayer is from the 7.2 cdrom, because I had problems installing RP 8.0.

RE: [newbie] binding ip and new registered domain based website, have problem
You need to create an address record for the domain. You registered the domain with dotsaway.com, so either have them create a record or if they have a user interface you can do it yourself.

The first thing I would like to do is get some of my previous text documents transferred from the Windows sector into Linux. But with the KDE file manager, I cannot see into the Windows area. Can someone advise me on how to do this? Mandrake may have already set up your windows files as a directory under /mnt If you go into Konqueror File Manager, labelled 'home directory' on your desktop and look in the left pane you will see the root directory. Just click on the plus sign in front of it (like in Windows) or double click on it and all the 'sub' directories will appear. One of them will be the mnt directory. Click on the plus sign in front of it and within it should appear the windows directory labelled 'windows'. Once there, it should all be familiar territory. mnt is where linux puts other file systems and Mandrake is very good at setting it up during installation. hth, Bill W. You may have a problem if you have Win2K using NTFS? Not done it myself, but I think NTFS and Linux have a problem. Someone advise please? Dave Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Cannot get into system, how do I rescue Lilo?
OK, you want to resue LILO, Boot from the CD and type rescue; then: mkdir /rescue What /dev/hd?? is you normal / root directory mnt -t ext2 /dev/hd?? /rescue rm -rf /boot ln -s /rescue/boot /boot Edit the file /rescue/etc/lilo.conf to what you want /rescue/sbin/lilo -C /rescue/etc/lilo.conf This will re-write your lilo There are more ways, but this is the way I remember, used it many times HTH Dave On Monday, 17 Dec 2001 14:43:08 + Hugo Saro [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Originally to: All This is a MIME-formatted message.
