[newbie-it] Configurazione masterizzatore
Ciao a tutta la ml! Ieri sera ho fatto un po' di prove col masterizzatore, solo che non sono riuscito a concludere quasi niente, infatti: kudzu è tra i servizi che partono all'avvio e rimangono in esecuzione, poi ho anche provato con gtoster a fare lo scan dei bus solo che anche qui niente. Non bisogna modificare lilo.conf, fstab, ecc...? Per adesso il masterizzatore viene riconosciuto da hard drake tra i lettori cd-rom come hdd. Sapete per caso quali file modificare e come si fa?

Nulla? Mmmh... già che ci sono vi pongo altri due quesiti: 1) C'è modo di salvare in modo PERMANENTE i settaggi di xvidtune? 2) WindowMaker 0.80 (Rpm) non visualizza le icone .png pur avendone il supporto.

Tu lanci kmail da nuovo utente e lasciagli creare i files standard, dopo copiaci sopra la cartella che vuoi trasferire, avendo l'accortezza di cambiare il proprietario a tutti i files, che deve essere l'effettivo utilizzatore. Per esempio questo funziona: cp -ur /home/utente/Mail /home/utente2/ chown -R utente2:utente2 /home/utente2/Mail/

What basically happens is: Open console window. Sign on as root. Go to download directory and type: rpm --rebuild mplayer-0.50-6mdk.src.rpm which just gets me the answer: mplayer-0.50-6mdk.src.rpm: No such file or directory.

Re: [newbie] PC doesn't switch off on powerdown
This should be a fairly simple one: when I log out from Linux, my PC goes through the whole shutdown process, displays 'power down' on the screen, and then waits for me to manually switch the machine off. Is this a Linux feature or should the PC be able to switch itself off? By the way, it will happily reboot the machine if I ask it to, and Win98 has no problems switching off the PC itself. I haven't tested it recently but I remember typing shutdown -h now (or halt) and then having to turn it off manually.

Re: SV: [newbie] Memory
I STILL think that a service mis-configured is the most likely slowdown. whomever is expericencing the slow down should post their dmesg file under the subject: slow CPU -dmesg and go from there.

When 200 MHz was a speedy computer the i430Vx and i430Tx chipsets were common.

With KDE or Gnome and especially when using many applications at the same time more memory will, however, be worth it. Uncached memory is extremely faster then swap-space.

[newbie] Mail question
Hello all, I am having a bit of mail problem but don't know where to start. I want to set up a mail server which supports pop, imap and webmail, and I also need to collect mail from other mail server. Here comes the detail. I have 3 machines here, 1 running Win2k, 2 running mdk 8.1. One of the mdk machine is a dedicated server, the other 2 are my workstations. The server will have a sub domain with dns2go.com so I can host my own mail server. The reason for using imap is simply that I don't have to download all my mail to all my workstations. To make the problem even harder, I also have email accounts with my ISP and Yahoo. I am hoping that it can be setup so the mail server would fetch my mail from other mail server and put them in the same place with other mail received by my own mail server. To sum it up, in case you were confused by the last section, I hope to setup a mail server, which will host mail for local domain and fetch mail from other pop3 server and put everything in one place so I can access all mail from any other workstation using IMAP. Webmail is for accessing mail from outside network. I did some search, seems horde could solve some of the problem. I am also hoping address book would stay on the server so when I move from machine to machine, I don't have to re enter them. Any help is greatly appreciated Robin _ Do You Yahoo!?

Hmm, I think there are many ways to do it ... you can take a look at KDE's control center. Access it through the k icon on the bar at the bottom of screen. If you installed it from rpm, you could also try typing rpm -qa | grep kde without the quotes in a terminal. You will get a list of packages, probably related to kde, and they might have the version number as part of their extensions. Hope it helps you.

Re: [newbie] Mail question
Robin, I'd like to try to help. The sketches at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/TestSketch may be of some help to get a general understanding of how email works in, for example, a LAN -- I'm in the process of setting up (learning how) my own email server for very similar purposes. I am in the process of developing more. (Those sketches have been vetted by at least one person who has a better handle on how email works, but there may be some errors or ambiguity.) Part of the key is fetchmail (or getmail) which can be set up to fetch mail from one or more popservers and bring it to your email server. You may need a separate fetchmail task for each pop3 server -- I really don't know yet. Also, you can include fetchmail in a cron job to run it periodically automatically. My next step is to study up on postfix and then develop a block diagram for postfix. If you (or anybody else) has comments on the sketches (or anything else) feel free to write to me or register and edit the page yourself. I'd prefer to edit the drawings myself, for the time being -- I'm trying to strike a balance between simplicity and totally complete and accurate detail, and maintain a similar style across all the sketches.

[newbie] Have to manually connect to internet
I am running Mandrake 8.1 on a Dell C600 and using it as a mail and web server. Some setting changed recently and when it is rebooted, it no longer connects to the internet automatically. I now have to go into the Mandrake Control Center and make it connect manually. Can someone tell me where I go to set this so it happens automatically? This is a network OS and I didn't even know it could be disconnected. Appreciate any help. Andy Miller Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

RE: [newbie] 8.1 installed - networking trouble - similar problem here too
I would like to piggy back on this thread if I may because I am having a similar problem. I recently shut down my linux box and used the power cord for another pc connection as well as the monitor. When I plugged everything back into the linux box and rebooted, kudzu appeared telling me something was wrong with my Network ISA card. I told it to keep the configuration because I wanted to do the research behind why all of a sudden is my network card not getting recognized.

The other weekly notice is that: Linux does not like idle ram and will cache into ram and then free up as needed for processes so when a monitor shows ram usage at 90% or above it is not that something is necessarily sucking up the ram it is that linux is being effecient.

[newbie] rsync with exceptions
Hi everyone, I have a directory on my linux box in / called /rpm-updates It has all the updates that came out on servers about 2 or 3 weeks ago. I want to use rsync to update the directory from the sunet.se updates site. but (and here is the killer) I dont' want to have kernels on the list. none of them. I plan to find a safe stable 2.4.17 or 18 kernel and use that on all my systems. (mostly for the VM, have alot of slow hardware running boxes out there.) also I don't see the point in downloading smp or secure or enterprise kernels when I won't use them. is there a way to script rsync to do what I need? I basically want to make a shell script, probably called updates, that will rsync out to sunet and get all updates bar those that I list in the script to be excluded,.,.. like kernel* and iptables* that sort of thing. any suggestions or tips gentleman (or ladies.) rgds Frank Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The Mandrake xine rpm works fine.

An example on how to use wine: I have an windoze accounting program called myob.exe so I $ cd /mnt/windows/myob/ $ wine myobe.exe Just go into the directory where the win app is located, then issue the command wine win app executable.

[newbie] Mecer Wheelmouse freezes
Hi I just installed Mandrake 8.0 and when prompted for a mouse type, having a PS/2 Mecer Wheelmouse and after I could not find a Mecer choice, I chose Generic PS/2 Wheelmouse. After installation, I was presented with the X login screen and found that the mouse pointer would not move and that the keyboard was frozen too. After a reboot, I was prompted for accepting new hardware found. I accepted, I think it actually said that it found a Generic PS/2 Mouse, and at the login prompt both the keyboard and mouse worked fine. I logged in using KDE. However, after powering down and up again, kudzu reported that a change in hardware was found and reported that the previous mouse detected can now not be found. I accepted the change, rebooted and found that it now never detects the mouse and always hangs at the login prompt. I rebooted in text console mode, and ran mousedrake. I chose Standard PS/2 mouse and rebooted, but still, it hangs. I then tried using an old serial 3 button Mecer mouse, and this works fine. Which type of mouse should I choose for the Mecer Wheelmouse, and how can I fix this problem? BTW, in the XF86Config file, under pointer section, the protocol is PS/2. I read somewhere that for an Intellimouse, the protocol should be IMPS/2. Would that be a solution for me? Many thanks, Eugene Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
