Re: [newbie-it] Nuovo Kernel e funzionamento

Io uso snd, è l'unico programma che ho trovato che mi mostra i livelli di registrazione. Quando si registra, con qualsiasi programma, bisogna prima tarare il mixer: 1) prima di tutto selezionare nel mixer il canale sorgente (per registrare delle cassette, bisogna selezionare l'ingresso line. Di solito uso aumix, che di default mostra a sinistra dei bottoni verdi con l canale selezionato rosso. 2) poi bisogna trovare il giusto volume di ingresso che è IGain. Non bisogna riferirsi quindi al volume di Line che serve solo per ascoltare mentre si registra. Tieni conto che il livello di IGain deve essere settato di solito abbastanza basso, per registrare da cassetta o altro ingresso Line, a volte mi capita che sopra il 10% distorce! Ti segnalo anche il programma rec che fa parte dei programmi normali della Mandrake. Se registri per fare un CD controlla di fare dei files audio stereo 16 bit a 44100 campioni al secondo per canale, possibilmente in formato wav che è il meglio supportato dai programmi di masterizazione. spreo di esserti stato di aiuto, Potresti darmi i link dove scaricare i due programmi sopra citati.

One common (and embarrassing) cause of that symptom is simply having the sound mixer level set to zero. Check out KMenuMultimediaSoundSoundmixer You can save the defaults after you have set the level. If that is not the problem (assuming you are using KDE) open KDE Control Centre SoundSoundserverAdvanced and try selecting an alternate Sound I/O method.

You also want be sure to choose no packages. Your previously entered information will remain in tact, while you may have to reenter your root password, reinstall your boot loader and also remake your boot floppy. now, in order to update your kernel you will have to download the latest 2.4.17 kernel packags from cooker, place them in a directory by themselves and issue this command: rpm -Uvh --test kernel*.rpm If the test runs error free then remove the --test argument from the command and rerun the command. This will install your new kernel. You will then have to run lilo from the command line thusly: /sbin/lilo This will refresh lilo with the new kernel entry. You will notice that there is an entry for your old kernel, as well as your new one. This is fine and quite normal. Now, it has been stated by Tom Brinkman, one far more learned in the ways of Linux than I, that when updating, (read installing) the latest kernel that one should also install the latest version of glibc as well. This is because the kernel headers are integrated now with glibc. So, while you're getting the kernel packages from cooker be sure to grab the glibc packages as well. BEFORE installing them be sure to use the --test argument to make sure you've got everything glibc needs. and use -Uvh to install these packages. After this you'll be running quite happily. As an aside though I'm running the 2.4.17 kernel at home that I got from the cooker mirror and I haven't yet updated by installation of glibc per Tom's suggestion and haven't experienced any bad side effects. But, that is not to say that I won't. I have a feeling that, that will come back to bite me in the arse though if I don't get it done soon. Actually I've been holding off trying to decide whether I want to update the entire installation from 8.1 to 8.2. My system is heavily configured and I'm a lazy programmer and don't want to have to go through all that work again. :P -- daRcmaTTeR Registered Linux User 182496 Mandrake 8.2beta1 - 10:05am up 2 days, 18:52, 1 user, load average: 0.14, 0.32, 0.51 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Can´t install on Dell XPS 180n
Hi! I just bought an old Dell XPS 180n with 98 MB Ram. It works great with win98. I tried to install Mandrake 8.1 with a floppy disk contaning the cdrom.img. It loads the floppy but then I see that my monitor loses the connection with the computer (that is it turn black and gets ofline) and the cdrom doesn´t spin either. I know the CD and the floppy disk are ok, they worked great with my new computer. Does anyone got any suggestion about what could be wrong?

[newbie] 8.1 Installation Problem
Hi, I'm trying to install v. 8.1 on my new laptop, but I consistently encounter a file writing problem. The install goes fine up until the part where it asks about the mouse. The mouse works, but the install gives an error saying it can't write a config file. Subsequent points in the install give the same error. Any ideas? thanks, Louis Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] Mandrake 8.1 won't boot from hard drive
Mozy wrote: Hi All, After installing Mandrake 8.1 on a Dell Dimension XPS T500 with two IDE CD drives (one a CDRW) and two IDE hard drives (Western Digital and Maxtor) I can't get the system to boot without using a boot disk. During the install Grub was supposed to have been installed in the MBR. I tried various partitioning schemes, I even tried using LILO instead of Grub, all to no avail. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I have the system up and running just fine, I just don't like having to rely on a boot disk to boot up...not that I have to reboot that often. :) TIA Bryan Bryan, IMHO Grub is not very mature, at least I had a headache figuring it out and never got it working properly anyhow. Try this : run KDE or Gnome, open Control Center, become root, click Boot, then Boot Config. Now, in the upper, right corner, click Configure, select lilo, and then the place where your MBR shall live, i.e. /dev/hda. Make additional adjustments to your liking, save everything and exit. That is supposed to be all. As an extra precaution, I would open a console, become root once again, and then type the command : /sbin/lilo (everything withour the quotes,of course). The output from lilo should tell you if everything is OK. If you have further trouble, please post your /etc/lilo.conf and /etc/fstab to the list.

[newbie] Break in
Hi all, I came up to my computer to send a quick e-mail, and I noticed my network meter was way to active for sending e-mail, so I did a netstat and found the following: Active Internet connections (w/o servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp0 36500 mikemiarknet:3325765115250113:41004ESTABLISHED tcp0 0 mikemiarknet:33075642455927:ftpESTABLISHED As soon as I saw this, I disconnected my dial-up computer which is a Win98 laptop running WinRoute I had played with WinRoute's portmapping before, where I made one rule that anything coming in to that IP address and on port 35000 would be forwarded to my Linux box on port 80 (so that a colegue could connect to my web server) But this doesn't quite fit First, the port numbers mentioned in netstat don't match Second, I can't find a record of the foreign IP addresses in my logs Third, the second item says ftp but I wasn't running proftp at the time How do I learn more about what happened?
