[newbie-it] OT Link alla ml di staroffice openoffice
Ho ritrovato il link alla Ml http://www.domeus.it/groups/it.staroffice.openoffice Funziona così: invio/ricezione msg in formato solo testo, non sono ammessi allegati (per motivi di sicurezza) e in fondo ad ogni msg c'è un piccolo spot dello sponsor di turno (che non dà sinceramente molto fastidio).

[newbie-it] configurazione masterizzatore
Ciao a tutta la ml!!! Scusate se continuo sempre a rompere, ma mi piacerebbe molto risolvere il mio problema. Il mio masterizzatore viene riconociuto come hdd e si riesce anche a montare e smontare correttamente. Ora resta il problema di farlo funzionare da masterizzatore. Un mio amico mi ha mandato il procedimento Non so con la distribuzione che hai te, ma a me riconosce solo masterizzatori SCSI e non quelli IDE. E' un problema che si risolve facilmente: 1) apri lilo.conf o usa l'interfaccia (a me si trova nel Control Panel alla voce LILO) 2) alla sezione image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2 label=linux read-only root=/dev/hdb1 aggiungi alla fine la riga append=hdc=ide-scsi dove hdc è il nome del masterizzatore 3) salva lilo.conf e rendi effettive le nuove impostazioni dando in una finestra di terminale il comando lilo -v 4) apri il file modules.conf e modificalo aggiungendo options ide-cd ignore=hdc alla fine del file. 5) salva il file e...non mi ricordo come fare a rendere operative queste impostazioni...forse digitando kudzu (è quello che riconosce l'hardware anche all'avvio del sistema). Per andare sul sicuro, riavvia il sistema. 6) Ora dovrebbe masterizzare. Io però non riesco più a montarlo per fargli leggere un normale cd...pazienza! Volevo chiedere: sono giuste? A me vedendole così mi sembra di sì. Volevo una conferma anche da voi. Poi bisognerebbe anche modificare fstab e creare anche una cartella (ad es cdrom2) sotto /mnt, vero? Quali sono le opzioni da dare in fstab? Ciao e ancora grazie a tutti!!! Sergio __ Abbonati a Tiscali! Con Tiscali By Phone puoi anche ascoltare ed inviare email al telefono.

[newbie-it] Problemi con Lilo
Un cordiale saluto a tutta la lista. Vi espongo il mio problema linuxiano, verificatosi dopo aver fatto un'installazione di prova di Mandrake 8.0, durante la quale il programma iniziale d'installazione aveva ridotto la partizione Windows e aveva automaticamente partizionato il resto del disco per l'utilizzo con Linux. Al momento di disinstallare il tutto e di riformattare il disco per l'utilizzo con Windows, mi è rimasto Lilo, che, in un primo momento, partiva regolarmente al boot (obbligandomi pero' a selezionare Windows, per evitare un kernel panic ovviamente dovuto all'assenza di Linux), mentre, in un secondo tempo, ha smesso di funzionare bloccando regolarmente la macchina senza consentire avviamenti di qualunque tipo. Domanda: come è possibile rimuovere manualmente Lilo (se è possibile) dal boot della macchina? Grazie a tutti per le risposte e la disponibilità. Ferruccio.

My hard disk is partition into four, here it as follows: C, D, Linux Ext2, and Linux swap space. In my drive C, Windows 98SE is installed, in my drive D, Windows NT installed and Linux Ext2 Linux Mandrake 8.0 is installed.

Whenever I'm online, I always keep updating my norton anti-virus, after downloading the virus definition in my norton anti-virus, we know that everytime it finished download the update, it always asking to reboot your system, so I did reboot my system. Here's the disastrous happen in my computer, I really don't what happen because everyday I always update my anti-virus but I think I'm not lucky yesterday because when I restart my computer, it didn't reload my windows! , so I press the restart button but it didn't work, I think I did this 5 times, but its not working. I re-install my windows98 but it didn't finished re-installing coz when windows update the configuration settings, it hanged, I press again the restart button, again, its not working. I'm get irritated so I decide to format drive C, I install windows98, and now its OK. My question is, after I format drive C, my LILO didn't show up anymore, what should I do?

Tonton, Just wanted to write to thank you for editing your post -- it's much easier to read now! (In the future, just breaking large paragraphs into smaller paragraphs would help, and maybe label the not completely relevant paragraphs with something like Background: . I don't know the exact details of how to solve your problem, but I think you want to do something like this (hopefully someone else will correct me if this is misleading): * Use your boot floppy (or rescue disk) to boot into Linux * Run lilo I've never done this, but I've seen the instructions on the list, this is the best I can remember. I'm uncertain as to whether you have to run a specific copy of lilo -- if no one gives you better advice I think I'd run lilo in *my* /boot/lilo. If you start Linux from a rescue disk, I think you will have to mount your filesystem somewhere. If you start Linux from your boot floppy, your filesystem should be the one you're running from, so just running /boot/lilo is what I would try. Since I can't be more positive, you may want to wait for another response or search the archives. Good luck! Randy Kramer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Adding a partition
Marcia wrote: Dear All, I meant to setup my partitions differently when I installed LM8.1. I ended up just mounting one small partition and now I would like to add or mount a partition to give my LM and vmware more room.

Kernels should always be installed, eg, 'rpm -ivh kernel--rpm' This installs the new kernel alongside your existing kernel, places the proper files in /boot, makes the necessary links, and edits lilo (or grub) and runs 'lilo' to write the changes. You should then have both the new kernel and your old one(s) as choices when you boot. file, I can't start the system. I initialized the computer with a boot disk. I looked in the directory /boot and I didn't find any file vmlinuz. Try to 'rpm -ivh' the kernel rpm in again. You'll likely need to use 'rpm -ivh --force' since you'll probly get an already installed error. If that doesn't fix it, the easiest thing to do would be to boot the install CD and choose 'upgrade'.

RE: [newbie] Proview LCD Monitors - Feedback?
I don't have any information on this brand specifically, but I can give you some things to look for in an LCD monitor if you need help there: There are 3 things that one should look for in a desktop LCD monitor: 1) Contrast ratio - Should be at least 350:1. 400:1 or better is preferable 2) Brightness - Don't go below 250 nits. 300 or better is preferable 3) Response time - This is especially important if you're going to be gaming or watching movies. Should be around 25ms or so. This is information I've gathered recently as I've been trying to find a decent, cheap (relatively speaking) 17+ monitor to replace the 15 LCD panel I have now. I saw a Sylvania at Costco the other day that was inexpensive and had 400:1 contrast ratio with 350 nits brightness, but a slow 45ms response time. It would have been miserable for gaming.

[newbie] Xfce and the xscreensaver daemon
This should be a simple one. I, along with many others on the list, have settled in on Xfce as my desktop manager of choice. One neat thing about Xfce is the Xscreensaver pgm that runs with it (although you can run it with other desktops, wms, etc.). From xfce you configure with xscreensaver-demo. When I do that it tells me that the xscreensaver daemon is not running. I can execute it at that point. What I'd like to do is have the daemon run on xsession initialization. I thought I could add a line like xscreensaver to the user's ~/.xsession file (as implied by the manual) but it doesn't seem to work.

BTW, before typing make, I enabled IPX as suggested, however, I started getting an error message of: IPX:Network number collision 11 eth0 Ether II and eth0802.2 Then the make gave an output like attached file. It seems to me that there are a couple of implicit decleration of functions. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks in advance.. Hakan Hakan, What you should do is get the ncpfs and ipx-utils from your installation Cd's and install these two packages. once you've got them installed give me a holler and i we can go from there. since you're running 8.1 the rest is going to be easy. you will want to set the IPX networking settings in linuxconf to: x = selected Enable x IPX networking Autoconfigure x primary Autoconfigure x interface frame types Hit the Accept button, and then quit and then activate changes. When you're done with this part you will want to open a terminal window and issue this command: service network restart Next you should creat at least one dir under /mnt where you'll mount the Netware volumes. /mnt/nwserver Chmod it 777 and then chown /mnt/nwserver to be owned by the user that is going to be accessing the servers from this workstation. Probably you... Now, you'll have to chmod ncpmount and ncpumount 4755: chmod 4755 /usr/bin/ncpmount chmod 4755 /usr/bin/ncpumount Then, to connect to the servers you will have to issue this command: ncpmount -S servername /mnt/nwserver -U username -P If all is well you'll be prompted for your password. type your password on the command line, hit enter and if you're dropped back to an empty command line you're done. you're now free to browse the network.

So untill all the developers start making linux versions, the quickest way to make linux a favorable workstation OS is to make windows apps run on it. perhaps we also need to standup and be counted so to speak. as long as ms claims a 95% desktop share and no one gives hard facts otherwise, they have a stranglehold. sadly, linux users by nature reject a centralized system, so there will never be an acurate count. -- Linux, cause i reboot less often than windows users reinstall. shane http://shentzu.home.mindspring.com/ Proud to be a DMOZ editor since 10-98 http://dmoz.org/ cause humans do it better!

Re: [newbie] Xfce and the xscreensaver daemon

This parameter is no longer supported by xscreensaver and it causes the app to crash on startup. This should be a simple one. I, along with many others on the list, have settled in on Xfce as my desktop manager of choice. One neat thing about Xfce is the Xscreensaver pgm that runs with it (although you can run it with other desktops, wms, etc.). From xfce you configure with xscreensaver-demo. When I do that it tells me that the xscreensaver daemon is not running. I can execute it at that point. What I'd like to do is have the daemon run on xsession initialization. I thought I could add a line like xscreensaver to the user's ~/.xsession file (as implied by the manual) but it doesn't seem to work. So how do I automatically invoke the xscreensaver on a user's xsession startup? TIA.

[newbie] Trackpoint support on TP600E w/ Mandr. 8?
Hi everyone, since the installation with DrakX my trackpoint on my Thinkpad 600E laptop could not be detected. I tried every possible mouse choice from that menu and it didn't work. Besides Mandrake 8 I have on the same harddrive Mandrake 7.1 and here the trackpoint is detected always. What can I do to get the trackpoint working? Do I need a driver for it? Any help greatly appreciated! Zlatko Savic __ FREE voicemail, email, and fax...all in one place. Sign Up Now! http://www.onebox.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
