Io possiedo un Athlon 1.2, scheda madre LEX BN780 Pro, che monta un chipset VIA VT8363/VT 82C686B KT-133, con scheda grafica ATI128 Pro/Expert 2000 AGP, con disco partizionato ad accogliere WIndows e Mandrake8.1. Questo bug ,da quello che ho capito, pare che abbia ripercussioni sulla resa grafica. Il mio dubbio nasce dal fatto che non riesco a settare i colori per una resa maggiore di 16 bit, sebbene che in Windows questo sia possibile. Può essere un'indicazione della presenza di questo bug? Da cosa potrei eventualmente verificare l'integrità della scheda madre? O può essere semplicemente (!?) un problema di ottimizzazione della scheda grafica che, da quanto ho visto dal sito Mandrake, ancora presenta dei problemi di compatibilità? Aggiungo inoltre che con giochi per i quali un utilizzo della grafica è necessario (Tuxracer, Chromium, Tron), non ho problemi, così come per la visualizzazione di immagini, per le quali la resa è identica a Windows.

[newbie] internet monitoring
Is there a way to setup up Linux so that it restricts access to all internet sites that I don't specify? Can this be done an a user/usergroup setting. Example. I only want some people to only be able to access. www.cnet.com (and all child sites www.cnet.com/*.* ) and I want management to be able to access 5 or 6 more sites. Can I do this with a Linux box between my network and my dsl router? Can I also set it up to had out ip addresses? There is windows software (surf control) that does this same thing but it cost around 2 grand and then you have to have another win2k server setup so all of a sudden my cost for this little task is around 5 thousand.

Re: [newbie] about SNF and Kernel 2.2

Im looking at a SNF server so i can have a firewall, proxy server and share internet connections to all computers (currently all stand-alones) in our compound. I have been looking for information on the SNF distribution and found that it has kernel 2.2 for its brain. does anybody know the reason why? It's based on a mdk secure kernel. Would using a 2.4 kernel bump up the requirements? I don't think so. I think the 2.2 secure kernel is hardened against things like buffer overflows and there isn't a hardened 2.4 version yet. im planning to run it on a P166 Mhz with 48MB RAM. Does it have a chance of installing successfully given that the minimum stated in the SNF page is 64MB? IIRC the minimum size is 32M with 64M recommended. My IBM P90 with 32M ram complained about 'low resources, use text install if you encounter problems' or something and indeed, while the graphical install was _fast_ and beautiful it also just skipped whole parts of the installation, resulting in a not bootable system grin. Text install was no problem. Is the SNF updated regularly for security fixes like the normal distributions? Yes, of course. You control the firewall with a webbrowser, there is an 'update software' button right on the first page, though I haven't tried this myself. I'm not using the P90 firewall machine to connect to the internet now, I will use it if I get ADSL instead of my expensive dial up :( Lastly, can anyone point me to sites offering tutorials about creating a home network? I already have the Windows-Linux-Networking howto from LDP but am still hoping to find more materials especially those concerning cabling. It would be better if the materials are 'downloadable' as internet surfing time here is at a premium. I hope someone else has an answer :) Now _I_ have a question: the 2.2 kernel uses ipchains as its packet filter while 2.4 uses iptables. IIRC Civileme explained that iptables has 'statefull inspection' while ipchains does not, and this is important in the light of the 'raw socket capability' of Windows XP. So I'm wondering, while SNF 7.2 is a nice and easy standalone firewall solution, you could also install LM8.1 on a 'slow' 64 MB system and use Bastille etc. to get the same functionality, plus iptables' enhanced packet filtering capabilities. thanks! -- Programming, an artform that fights back. = Anuerin G.

[newbie] ISO image viewer
I'm able to dl images from my fuji camera now, and one of the things I miss from Windows is the software that came with the camera--exif viewer. This would show thumbnails of the images, and allow me to rename them. The files have info about the date, so I always renamed them to the date so I'll know how old my daugher was when I took them. Do you have a favorite image viewer that will show thumbs of an entire directory? Gphoto doesn't support my camera, but I can use it to view a folder.

(I might have the acronym wrong, letters interchanged or whatever.) I recall seeing somewhere that if you use DHCP, things like host name may get reset every time DHCP runs (like when your machine boots up). As I understood the correction, you need to set the host name and similar things (DNS server addresses) in the DHCP server. Just sort of a shot in the dark.

[newbie] ESS Solo 1 Audiodrive
Short version: Got one, doesn't work :-( Longer version: My new linux box has returned from its original birthplace in San Francisco (Micronux Computers) with a new mobo. The week old machine had quit on me a couple of times finally, on Jan 6, dropping out altogether. Apparently it was a problem with the mobo, specifically the voltage supplied to the cpu and the memory. The original mobo was an Asus A7M266 which is a socket A board, DDR, 266 FSB, etc using the AMD761 chipset. The board had built in sound and it (the sound, not the board) worked fine. Micronux replaced the mobo with an Asus A7K266 which has the same config as the old board and a VIA 266 chipset instead of the AMD. It doesn't, however, have onboard sound, so Micronux put in an ESS Solo 1 Audiodrive card. sndconfig says ESS Technology|ESS 1969 Solo 1 Audiodrive is not supported Mandrake Control Center, hardware configuration, detects the card and indicates that it uses kernel module: snd-card-es1938. I selected the Solo 1 from the ESS list and tested it. Nada! lspcidrake tells me basically the same thing, i.e., recognizes the card and indicates the kernel module. Of course, I'm sure that there has been tons of messages about this over the last month or two. I've managed to lose stuff from the last several weeks on the transition including where the archives are :~ (. So should this card work? Is it a IRQ problem? TIA.

Re: [newbie] about SNF and Kernel 2.2
thanks to civileme and frans replies, i have few more questions though, ill just snip and insert wherever appropriate... On Wed, 23 Jan 2002 09:48:41 -0900 tester [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anuerin G. Diaz wrote: snip SNF is probably overkill unless you have a steady connection (DSL or cable) to the internet. SNF will _not_ run servers like mail or web--it is a dedicated firewall. Similarly, no other systems are welcome on the firewall--it must be dedicated to that purpose. doesnt the SNF page (i think it was in mandrakesecure) tell that you can do proxy servers, internet sharing, (i think there also was something about web serving) and all that? would you recommend that i download the 7.x distribution and do it from there? 2.2 was used because we had a reliable 2.2 kernel-secure at production time. Currently a stateful firewall version is in the makings using kernel 2.4 and iptables. 48M might be a performance hit, but it should work. If you are sharing a modem or a 128K DSL, you are unlikely to notice the hit. And don't laugh--I had 15 nodes at a busy government office sharing a 56K modem and it worked. thanks. Cabling? Get a switch if at all possible. attach all computers to the switch using cat5 ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors--do not use the uplink plug. If you have a hub, you can use that in place of a switch. Your internet connection is placed separately, from the internet connection of the firewall. im planing to get a 4-port hub. ill have to do a little more searching on that uplink plug thing, its more of a black arts to me right now. ;-) Addressing? Local IP addresses are important--unless you have a fair size of system, just keep them static thanks, im scared of DNS right now because setting up a network right now is pretty daunting to me. Addresses can be 192.168.xxx.something where the xxx is the same for all computers and between 0 and 255 and the something is different for each computer or 172.16-31.something1.something2 with a netmask of 255.255.0.0 and the 16-31 choice should be the same for all computers or 10.anything.anything.anything with netmask 255.0.0.0 The firewall is set up with some IP address and all other nodes have that IP as their default gateway. i read somewhere that the 192.168 (the netmask here should be 255.255.0.0 , right?) chain was reserved for home networks. ill just use that since i have no info on the 172 and 10 chains. Am i right in thinking that the firewall would have 2 lan cards, one for the outside connection and the other for sharing the connection thru the hub? im going to test it using dial-up (im still applying for the DSL connection), so that would probably mean that 1 lan card will suffice now since the modem will act as the outside interface. is my logic still sound? All computers should have the same DNS addresses, and the best settings are the DNS IP addresses given by your ISP. if the dial-up ISP has automatic DNS (i dont put any when connecting in my standalone box), then i can skip this part? i reckon i will have to do this _when_ i get DSL.

Do this after making the Mandrake boot disk, but RIGHT BEFORE you begin the Mandrake install. Windows users might not think of this if they've never done partitioning before. Might even be a good idea to shut off the screensaver and any power management that may be on, and do a *deep* scandisk to make sure the hard drive or drives are still perfect and uncorrupted. And warn 'em to make a Windows boot disk if necessary, too -- in case things really go south. I'd mention a few other things around this point: * During defragging, don't select the option (can't recite it) that might place files at the end of a partition. * If files are at the end of a partition, is there a solution (short of deleting and reinstalling Windows)? * Mention fdisk /mbr and it's use to allow Windows to boot if the Linux installation goes seriously awry.

how do i tell cron to run them? i have no idea where the cron configs are You schedule command lines to be executed by the Cron daemon by using the crontab utility. You should read up on this utility in the man pages (type man crontab in the terminal). A much easier way, however is to use KCron (a graphical front-end to crontab that is included in your distribution). If you haven't installed it yet, go back to your install CDs and install it. To start it, just type KCron. I believe there is accompanying documentation in the help menu. It's pretty easy to use. Good luck, Mel __ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeing new owners in Yahoo!

[newbie] Installer Distorted
Alright, I'm really tired of trying to get Linux Mandrake installed. I am on an old-world Mac (7200/90) and I've attempted to install Linux... around 20 times, seriously. First I kept trying LinuxPCC, which didn't go too well. So a friend told me of Mandrake Linux, and in my humble opinion, that's the sweetest distribution around! So I finally got the two ISO's burned. I partitioned my hard drive (one Mac drive, the rest Extra) and installed OS 9.1. Next I go to to install Mandrake using BootX... It won't work!!! The display on the installer is really messed up. I mean, from BootX up to the point of selecting the Mean of Installation, it's fine! As soon as the Mandrake installer comes up though, my screen (17) is insanely distorted with HUGE grey pixels. What's up?! The screen overlaps itself and if I move my mouse to the right, when it hits the edge at right, it'll reappear in the left and keep going right, etc!! Someone please help!! I tried entering video=platinumfb:vmode:17,cmode:8 in the Kernal Args for BootX, but that doesn't seem to help. I have No Video Driver UNCHECKED, and Force Video Settings CHECKED.

Apparently it was a problem with the mobo, specifically the voltage supplied to the cpu and the memory.

Micronux replaced the mobo with an Asus A7K266 which has the same config as the old board and a VIA 266 chipset instead of the AMD. It doesn't, however, have onboard sound, so Micronux put in an ESS Solo 1 Audiodrive card. sndconfig says ESS Technology|ESS 1969 Solo 1 Audiodrive is not supported Mandrake Control Center, hardware configuration, detects the card and indicates that it uses kernel module: snd-card-es1938.

Re: [newbie] /etc/hosts
Bo, I don't use cable access (i wish!) but from what I have read (on this list mostly) using cable normally means that you would be getting an IP address via DHCP from your cable provider each time you boot. If this is the case, you will get different IP addresses potentially each time, so anything written for a given IP address in hosts would become invalid. Try the following: In a console window type: hostname without the quotes. This will tell you what your hostname is. If it's not set, you can set it by saying: hostname xyz where xyz the name you want. If everything works with this hostname set and you are in fact using DHCP to get your address, you could look at /etc/sysconfig/network In here is a line (probably) which reads DHCP_HOSTNAME=xyz If it's not there, or there is no hostname specified, you could try adding it there. I think this is where it's picked up from when DHCP issues the address. Let us know how you go. cheers Brian On Thu, 2002-01-24 at 17:41, Bo Rosén wrote: ons 2002-01-23 klockan 23.39 skrev Randy Kramer: Hi, Are you using DHCP?
