[newbie-it] problemi con la stampa dal mio server mandrake
Salve a tutti Ho un problema, ma prima vi faccio un breve riepilogo della mia LAN: Server Mandrake 81 Client1: Mandrake81/Windows2000 Client2: Idem Con il file smbconf configurato come potete leggere di seguito, non stampo niente dai client Sul server ovviamente ho aggiunto gli utenti dei client, gli ho dato le autorizzazioni di stampa ed ho permesso la scrittura in var/spool/samba Suggerimenti?

Re: [newbie-it] lan da konquero
Mettere in comune delle directory usando mnt (smbmnt) non sempre è proficuo perchè lo spazio occupato dalla directory che monti viene addebitato al tuo hard-disk. Sempre meglio dare un'occhiata al README di LISA che è un pacchetto che dovresti aver installato. Ad ogni modo per navigare in altri computer della rete ti basta (è un pò scomodo ma proficuo) aprire konqueror e digitare all'interno della barra di navigazione smb://nomepc/dir e non ci sono problemi.

Quello che non riesco a fare è questo: dalla barra laterale di konqueror, rete, rete localemi dà localhost - impossibile collegarsi all'host. Idem se sulla barra degli indirizzi scrivo: lan://localhost lan://192.168.1.1 lan://192.168.1.5 perchè ? cosa devo fare ? se i due pc sono collegati perchè non sono accessibili ? Grazie e saluti, Fer Hai provato con ftp://192.168.1.1 ? Per fare le cose bene, io attiverei nfs e metterei in comune (tramite mount) delle directory. Poi ci accedi come se fossero direttamente sul tuo pc. ciao, Andrea

Non ho capito alla fine quale sia la tua conclusione, gli :-) sono un pò fuorvianti. Comunque sono abbastanza sicuro che sia così, se fai una prova con kfsstatus (solo perchè è carino) vedrai che prima di montare la partizione hai una certa quantità di disco disponibile e dopo un pò meno.

[newbie-it] XMMS
Nessuno di voi ha mai avuto problemi con XMMS? io ne ho due in particolare che mi stando dando qualche fastidio IL primo e piu fastidioso èogni tanto qundo riproduce continuatamente gli mp3 nel passare ad una canzone all altra mi si pianta mandandomi come messagio couldn't open audio please check that 1 you have the corect output plugin 2 no other programs 3 your soundcard all inizio credevo che fossere gli mp3 corrotti ma poi l'unico modo per farlo ri funzionare è andare in preferences e selezionare un input plugins qualunque e pigiare su ok pigiare su ok o su apply è la stessa cosa , cioe voglio dire che tutti i plugin sono gia abilitati e funzionanti IL secondo è il volume di XMMS non funziona , l'unico modo per alzare o abassare il volume è quello di operare su Kmix Nessuno di voi ha avuto questi problemi?se si come li avete risolti?

[newbie-it] Il computer si blocca!!!
Salve a tutta la ML, nei giorni scorsi sono incappato in un grosso problema, e spero che qualcuno mi dia alcune idee per risolverlo se si dovesse ripresentare In modo randomico, e senza un apparente motivo il computer si blocca e l'unico modo che ho per riprendere la normale attività e il reboot tramite il tasto reset! Prima che qualcuno mi offenda, specifico che ci sono costretto, visto che il mouse non si muove, la tastiera non risponde, e non riesco neppure ad attivare i terminali virtuali (si chiamano cosi?) ctrl+alt+F1 Non viene generato nessun file Core, il problema si verifica quanto sotto KDE che sotto GNOME, sia che usi XMMS per ascoltare un mp3 che quando uso Evolution per leggere la posta o se faccio una partita a Tux racer E indistintamente che utilizzi root, o un altro utente L'ultima volta mi si è piantato mentre modificavo i menù di gnome Premetto che ultimamente ho installato una GeForce 2 Mx e i relativi drivers ver 1023 in formato RPM, ma che questo non è coinciso con il verificarsi del blocco, ma è trascorso più di un mese (sinceramente non credo che dipenda dai driver, ma non si sa mai) Io non so cosa fare, visto che ad ogni riavvio (non proprio pulito) mi sorbisco tutta una serie di errori che (dice) FIXED, stamani ho optato per unanuova installazione, sperando che il problema non si ripresenti, ma nel caso se qualcuno ha qualche suggerimento, qualche idea, o consiglio, gliene sarei molto grato Grazie Nicola

[newbie-it] problemi con installazione mandrake 8.1 su abit k7 raid
Ho un problema con linstallazione della mandrake 8.1 sul mio pc fisso: possiedo una scheda abit k7a raid con appunto controller raid e 2 hd da 40Gb già configurati a livello di bios della motherboard. (il resto: amd athlon 1700+XP, 1gb ram, scheda video ati serie 7000) Premesso che ho installato winxp che funziona a dovere, non riesco a sfruttare il raid x installare linux: vede i 2 hd separati e non come unico driver già raid come fanno tutti i so win e si che già pregustavo un linux con il turbo x trovar la stessa differenza che sul portatile mi ha entusiasmato ringraziando anticipatamente chiunque possa aiutarmi, saluto!

Con tutti questi tentativi ftp://192.168.1.1 (/5;secondo pc) lan://localhost lan://192.168.1.1 (/5) smb://192.168.1.1 (/5) il risultato è sempre lo stesso impossibile collegarsi all'host. Per attivare nfs intendi ovviamente tutta la procedura (export, ecc...) non solo l'attivazione del demone, giusto ? Germano dice: Ad ogni modo per navigare in altri computer della rete ti basta (è un pò scomodo ma proficuo) aprire konqueror e digitare all'interno della barra di navigazione smb://nomepc/dir e non ci sono problemi. Anche qui, si intende dopo aver configurato samba, giusto ? Comunque faccio presenti due cose: 1) con una distro precedente (purtroppo non ricordo esattamente quale, ma mi sembra mandrake 6) bastava battere lan://nomepc e andava tutto liscio, senza aver configurato niente prima 2) tra i servizi di mandrake 8.1 c'è appunto lan.desktop. Richiamandolo, compare una finestra di konqueror dove sulla barra degli indirizzi c'è già pronta la scritta lan://. Quindi dovrebbe essere una possibilità indipendente da altre configurazioni di nfs, samba o ftp. Non si tratta naturalmente del problema di accedere alle risorse del secondo pc, perchè è a 2 metri di distanza e faccio prima ad alzarmi e andarmele a vedere là, ma piuttosto di capire perchè non va. Il fatto che l'host non si possa collegare mi sembra strano. Forse manca qualcosa o qualcosa è configurato male. Grazie ancora e ciao, Fer.

An external USB-ISDNmodem is connected that works fine with windows. In the hardware list, in USB-interface, he recognises the modem. I find no way to install tho make him talk.

[newbie] missing swap partition?
Hello, I've been having problems with my LM8.1 install, I *think* I've figured out what's gone wrong, but I'd like a second opinion. The problem: I can't use my PC for more than an hour or so. I'll be happily running multiple applications, when suddenly the HD will trash about like mad, and KDE virtually locks up (becomes so slow as to become unusable). Sometimes a ctrl+shift+alt+del will log me out and save me, at other times I've had to switch off the machine after 1/2 hour spent looking at a fixed screen. This problem seems to happen more quickly if I have several applications on the go, so I thought of a memory leak/memory management problem. BTW, I can't track it down to any one application - it seems to happen whatever I'm using. So I've read through the mails on this list, and tried out a few things in console: - 10:09pm up 3 min, 2 users, load average: 1.02, 0.45, 0.17 48 processes: 47 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 14.7% user, 7.3% system, 0.0% nice, 77.8% idle Mem: 126644K av, 120536K used,6108K free, 344K shrd, 31876K buff Swap: 0K av, 0K used, 0K free 48260K cached PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 1571 richard 12 0 3964 3964 2900 S 1.9 3.1 0:00 artsd 10:12pm up 6 min, 2 users, load average: 0.51, 0.38, 0.19 54 processes: 53 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 13.3% user, 4.6% system, 0.0% nice, 81.9% idle Mem: 126644K av, 123684K used,2960K free,1048K shrd, 4104K buff Swap: 0K av, 0K used, 0K free 65220K cached PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 1769 richard 19 0 1052 1048 836 R 1.9 0.8 0:00 top 1 root 8 0 104 10436 S 0.0 0.0 0:04 init 3 root 9 0 00 0 SW0.0 0.0 0:00 keventd 4 root 19 19 00 0 SWN 0.0 0.0 0:00 ksoftirqd_CPU0 5 root 9 0 00 0 SW0.0 0.0 0:00 kswapd 6 root 9 0 00 0 SW0.0 0.0 0:00 kreclaimd 7 root 9 0 00 0 SW0.0 0.0 0:00 bdflush 8 root 9 0 00 0 SW0.0 0.0 0:00 kupdated 9 root -1 -20 00 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 mdrecoveryd 91 root 9 0 252 252 140 S 0.0 0.1 0:00 devfsd 880 root 9 0 240 240 124 S 0.0 0.1 0:00 syslogd 888 root 9 0 988 988 332 S 0.0 0.7 0:00 klogd 982 daemon 9 076 76 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 atd 1018 root 9 0 580 564 384 S 0.0 0.4 0:00 xinetd 1188 root 9 0 100 10032 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 gpm 1244 root 9 0 164 16464 S 0.0 0.1 0:00 crond 1268 xfs9 0 4152 4152 576 S 0.0 3.2 0:01 xfs 1376 root 9 064 64 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 mingetty [richard@localhost richard]$ free total used free sharedbuffers cached Mem:126644 123532 3112 1048 4104 65220 -/+ buffers/cache: 54208 72436 Swap:0 0 0 [richard@localhost richard]$ - The above is an example from the other night, I repeatedly ran 'top' then 'free'.

Re: [newbie] missing swap partition?
It certainly looks like you are on the right track. Do you have an entry for a swap partition in your /etc/fstab? It should look something like this /dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 You can use diskdrake to create a swap partition without having to reinstall BTW: Unless you like getting disc corruptions avoid switching off the machine. Use Ctl+Alt+F2 to get a console then as root shutdown -h now If you get really stuck use SysReq keys to shut down.

Thanks in advance Jim, you are not the first person to upgrade the kernel and thus lose everything It's kind of confusing, that the update - option includes the kernel But to be honest, there ARE several warnings around, especially on the Mandrake homepage Kernels should be installed, not upgraded Luckily, there's a remedy, so it's not a real disaster Let me quote Civileme from memory : quote Drop in your install CD and boot When you get to class of install, pick expert and click the right button, the one that reads Update Select no packages It will fuss and cluck for a while figuring it has no packages to update Then it will install your original kernelIn less than 10 minutes you are done /quote Maybe my memory missed something, but that's the general idea If in doubt search the archive for something like kernel and update HTH Kaj Haulrich Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

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.

You uninstalled Gnome? If that's what you did, you didn't have to. The program should be in /usr/bin/jpilot. Try 'whereis jpilot' As for connectivity, do you have a /dev/pilot object? JPilot will look for the Palm there, hence the command making a link to it, and then changing the permissions. I didn't put the commands anywhere - they just needed doing as a one-off.

I would basically like to be able to insert the disk into a Windows machine and reboot the machine so that it boots my OS of choice ie Linux from the floppy disk If I need to send myself an email at all then I could use the MTA (Message Transfer Agent) on the floppy as opposed to having to use Microsoft mail Any suggestions or query strings I could submit to google?

[newbie] Kernel Upgrade List Archives
Hello everyone, I am back to Mandrake Linux after a short hiatus. I had to reinstall again due to what turned out to be errors on my hard drive. I think I have them isolated now if so I should have a stable system. It already looks much nicer on my KDS 17 flat screen monitor. Mandrake handled it combined with my old TNT card and gave me all graphics resolutions, which is a remarkable change from my old generic 14. I of course lost all my email and web bookmarks this time. I have decided to do occasional backups of these files to my windows drive just in case. I learned somewhere that a better working kernel than I am using (stock 8.1 2.4.8-26(?)) is 2.4.8.34(?) which is supposed to fix some security issues, virtual memory, etc. I had an email with directions for upgrading my kernel. Actually it was for something else, it was to someone who had just reinstalled and was wanting to do something else (update software manager lists?). But the person was directed to first install the newer kernel. I think the message went something like: First go to someplace.addy.outthere and download filex.afile and follow the directions on http:www.webaddy.ady to install it alongside your old kernel. Then go to mandrake update(?) and get the latest whatnot.files. And _then_ go to nVidia's site (or mandrakeuseronline?) and get the latest drivers for kernel 2.4.8-34(?) and install according to the directions at http:anothersiteIforgot.ady. And _then_ go do whatever the original person wanted to do because the computer is now updated. Of course since I lost the message(s) that is about all I remember now that I find myself in the same situation. Anyone care to send help?

Re: [newbie] Acer 342T soundcard problem.
Thanks guys, ;-) Still got problems here. When I set mount quiet, execute lilo and reboot, no mixer in /dev and cdroms is in /dev. When I set append=devfs=nomount quiet in /etc/lilo.conf, after lilo and reboot, the mixer does appear in /dev, but this time cdroms disappeared. In this case, KMenu-Multimedia-sound-audio mixer still prompts no permission to /dev/mixer and check if module compiled into kernel. I am sure I have permission to /dev/mixer. And the module IS compiled into kernel coz lsmod gives out: Module Size Used by snd-es193812176 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-pcm 0 (autoclean) [snd-es1938] snd-timer 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm] snd-mixer 0 (autoclean) [snd-timer] snd 0 (autoclean) [snd-es1938 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-mixer] soundcore 0 (autoclean) [snd] So when mixer exists in /dev, I have full permission to it, the module is in the kernel.

I get the feeling that it doesn´t got the driver for my graphic-card or monitor. I even tried the other.img for older drivers but it didn´t work. By the way its not a CD-RW. Other ideas?? /Edvard Hmm... Well Edvard, here I have to ask you a very silly questions - no offence intended ! How did you create the boot-floppy ? - I suppose here, that you did it from Windows, 'cause that's the way most people do it, considering the fact that it's practically impossible to purchase a PC here in Scandinavia without that virus pre-installed. Now, simply copying the boot-image from the CD to floppy won't work, because this only puts some bits into a FAT (DOS/windows) filesystem on the floppy. The floppy needs to be raw to be bootable. To accomplish that, you must use a special gadget, called rawrite, located on the CD in dosutils\rawrite.exe (in dos/windows-notation). Here's how : * insert the CDROM, then open the icon My Computer, right click on the CDROM drive icon and select Open * go into the dosutils directory and double-click on the rawwritewin icon * insert a blank floppy in the floppy drive * select D:\images\cdrom.img in the Image File field (assuming that your CDROM drive is D:, otherwise replace D: as needed) * select A: in the Floppy Drive field then click on Write. To begin the installation, insert the CDROM in the drive, as well as the boot floppy if necessary, then restart the computer. OK - If all this is trivial to you, this is a newbie-list, remember ? - That aside, if you've already fabricated the floppy correctly and it doesn't boot, please return to the list and we'll try to walk you trough from here. It would be nice to have further information about your system, though : especially your harddisk-setup (is a dos/windows-partition already present ?, do you want to preserve it ?, how many GB does it contain ?, is it an IDE or a SCSI disk ?). What's the output from fdisk (if it's there) ? Edvard, I think your problem is of common interest, so I've taken the liberty to publish this thread to the list.

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. HTH Kaj Haulrich Bryan, to me everything seems to be OK in your fstab and lilo.conf , just wondering : why 2 swap-partitions ? Not that it matters, though.

Re: [newbie] email from command prompt
I am trying to understand what you want. This isn't especially clear to me as another newbie but i guess the question you want answered is can mail talk direct to a SMTP server out of your box. I am probably way out in left feild as i understand that on a standard setup this is the domain of postfix (or postfix pretending it is sendmail). The question still remains though... can mail address a SMTP server on the net directly. In my situation i get my mail as POP3 (with fetchmail) and send it as SMTP to my ISP (preconfigured using sendmail). I agree Gerald's reply doesn't address my understanding of this question either. More info please Gerald! Meanwhile Jim, i am off to reread man mail, man mailaddr, man sendmail, all the *.cf files in /etc/postfix/, and scan the HOWTO's.
