[newbie-it] nuovo kernel
Ciao a tutti. Vorrei passare alla versione piu' evoluta del kernel by mdk (8.1) ovvero alla relase 2.4.8.34 (io ho la 26). A tal proposito mi piacerebbe sapere quale file scaricare dal mirror: basta il binario precompilato kernel-2.4.8-34 oppure e' necessario qualcos'altro? Grazie mille per l'aiuto Marco

[newbie] LILO won't load linux
Hi, I was going to write about a different problem, but now something far worse has happened! Although my system did not crash, and I didn't even previously do a hard shutdown, I get the following message when my machine powers on: LILO 21.7 Loading linux. And absolutely nothing happens after that, and there is no hard drive activity. Since it had been making some odd noises recently, I'm thinking my hard drive has gone bad, but I'm wondering if someone knows of anything I can try before I do anything drastic (like replacing it and reinstalling Linux from scratch). BTW, I just recently updated my kernel to the latest one off of MandrakeUpdate, 2.4.8 I think. Thanks very much, Joe Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] The best configuration for a 486
Hi, I want to install Linux in a 486 (configuration below), but I don't know what should I install. I need a lightweight WM (the processor is slow and the ram is not much), I cannot use too much space on HD (I'd like to use at most 200-250 MB for linux, the remaining for documents). The computer will be used to play card games, surf the internet (via LAN, the modem is in the other computer, a win98) and to do a little word prcessing. I have LM 7.0 for 486, do you think it is the right choice or other distros could be better? After the install, which apps do you suggest me to upgrade? (for example, should I upgrade KDE or Blackbox to the latest version or it isn't worthwhile?)

Thanks for everyone's help with this problem. Yes, unfortunately I did update the kernel with MandrakeUpdate. I was apprehensive but went ahead, assuming it wouldn't be available through Update if that wasn't a recommended method. Yep, big mistake it seems. Anyway, I looked at the example you cited below, but I don't know how to do this since I can't execute any commands; I just get the error message and nothing (no prompt). Not even a LILO prompt - just the LILO loading linux... message. I can't check /etc/lilo.conf as someone suggested, for the same reason. I did try the linux boot disk, as someone else suggested. At the boot: prompt, I just typed linux, and then got a bunch of OK messages, ending in this: --- autodetecting RAID arrays autorun ... ... autorun DONE. VFS: Cannot open root device 03:41 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:41 --- At that point, the system ceases activity. At the boot: prompt, there was a message saying that it was going to check /dev/hdb1, which I'm not sure is correct.

Re: [newbie] printer and /etc/modules
Alsa is probably going to use whatever IRQ the card thinks it has. I don't know that for sure, but I'm pretty sure you'll still have the same problem. Are you able to change the IRQ for your printer port through CMOS? That might work or if you have a PNP OS setting in your CMOS, you might try telling it the oposite of what it's currently at. Another problem may be that it's not a shared IRQ but a shared DMA channel. Something else to try would be to open up the sound server configuration applet (Kmenu-Configuration-KDE-Sound-SoundServer). On the sound IO tab, see if full duplex is enabled and if it is, disable it. My soundblaster wouldn't work consistently with it enabled. And just incase Alsa or autodetect is the sound system on that tab, try manually changing it to OSS. Is the soundcard a stock Soundblaster or is it a soundblaster compatible?

(FOR EXAMPLE: Install an 8.1 system with XFS for all partitions--Booting from the boot disk you can generate will not work, if you can even generate one.) The problem is space. You can roll up a kernel close to 1M and then try to add a bunch of modules to support your machine in an initrd that blows away the space available on a floppy. A boot disk is needed these days only if you do not intend to use a bootloader of any description. You do not need it for rescue purposes, because that function is on the CD (hit F1 at the splash screen and type rescue without the quotes). If your / partition is ext2 or ext3 then the rescue operation will even find the partition and put it on /mnt for you so that chroot /mnt runs from your / on hard disk mkbootdisk will not make a boot floppy from an LS120 drive (still) though it will make a boot LS120 cartridge. With a few more sectors per track and with a few extra tracks, it is possible to make a floppy of the 1.44M kind into 1.7, but this has been known to physically damage some floppy drives who tried to write it (almost all seem able to read it), so the problem remains with space.

Re: [newbie] OT: VB on Linux???
ngn wrote: Hi folks!!! I'm a programmer [not a senior programmer but not a newbie at all] and I have the question if Linux has the need of VB or any Visual Language which runs on Windows to be ported to Linux. If exists any Visual language that runs on linux, I'd like to know it!!! Thanks in advance Nicolás Gómez Montevideo, URUGUAY ICQ # 45144976 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Well, try downloading XBasic--it is similar to VB (in fact it may be that VB was developed from XB ideas) and it runs on both platforms. There is a mdk rpm for it. It has a dragNdrop builder for grids (their term for widgets) and an html manual drops into /usr/share/doc/xb* with the mdk rpm (not so with their rpm, which does not include the manual). Original materials for it are at www.xbasic.org. Xbasic is much more powerful than VB as you will learn quickly. In fact it is powerful enough that the source code for the compiler is written in xbasic, and it compiles itself in just a few seconds. It will _NOT_ run from console... It requires X. The windows version needs an emulator for X. Glade is also something of interest--not a total Integrated Development environment, but it will build c routines for handling widgets you define in a drag-N-drop environment.

Re[2]: [newbie] LILO won't load linux
JJ Thanks for everyone's help with this problem. Yes, unfortunately I did JJ update the kernel with MandrakeUpdate. I was apprehensive but went JJ ahead, assuming it wouldn't be available through Update if that wasn't a JJ recommended method. Yep, big mistake it seems. JJ Anyway, I looked at the example you cited below, but I don't know how to JJ do this since I can't execute any commands; I just get the error message JJ and nothing (no prompt). Not even a LILO prompt - just the LILO JJ loading linux... message. I can't check /etc/lilo.conf as someone JJ suggested, for the same reason. JJ I did try the linux boot disk, as someone else suggested. At the JJ boot: prompt, I just typed linux, and then got a bunch of OK JJ messages, ending in this: JJ --- JJ autodetecting RAID arrays JJ autorun ... JJ ... autorun DONE. JJ VFS: Cannot open root device 03:41 JJ Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:41 JJ --- JJ At that point, the system ceases activity. At the boot: prompt, there JJ was a message saying that it was going to check /dev/hdb1, which I'm JJ not sure is correct. Any further tips would be appreciated.

[newbie] I lost my user accounts
Hi, After finally getting my desktop, winmodem, network printer and network sharing all working; I somehow managed to screw it up. I can't login to my original user account. Crash handler reports nspluginscan, ksplash and ksmserver crash and I get kicked to the login screen. I created a new user in hopes that I would just transfer my important files and settings over until I could find the bug, but when I login my new user it just immediately kicks out to the login screen. Only the root account will log in and allow access. I have made countless changes to the original LM8.1 installation so I would like to remedy this without an re-install. Oh, I also did an 'update' from the install disk, with no new settings checked (basically nothing new) but that did not remedy the situation. Any ideas?
