Dove stà l'inghippo? A cosa serve quel setup? E' possibile rilanciarlo a mano?

[newbie-it] Kernel e boot
Ho appena compilato il kernel 2.5.2 (quello generico, non della mdk), e sono riuscito ad ottimizzarlo per il mio sistema. L'unico inconveniente è che quando viene caricato il SO mi segnala molti messaggi con la scritta FALLITO in rosso. Domanda: come si possono eliminare? Come faccio a dire al SO cosa caricarmi e cosa trascurare? Spero di essermi spiegato. Ciao, Pollo.
[newbie-it] Configurazione di Apache
Ciao a tutta la ML, Vi chiedo scusa se vi disturbo con una richiesta che a qualcuno potrà suonare come invadente, ma volevo sapere se vi è mai capitato di configurare apache su un pc. Mi spiego meglio: Vorrei mettere sul mio pc un sito che attualmente è ospitato da Tiscali. Naturalmente ho richiesto una linea ADSL per lasciare il mio buon pc con linux sempre connesso. Premesso che uso Mandrake 8.1 e che ho già riscontrato tramite il comando http:\\localhost una pronta risposta, vi chiedo cosa devo fare ? Come devo impostare il mitico file httpd.conf ??? Ho notato che esiste nella directory var una subdirectory apache-mm... Attendo vs notizie e grazie ancora !!! -- Fabrizio Torrisi Linux Mandrake User E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[newbie-it] emulazione scsi

Re: [newbie-it] emulazione scsi
Alle 18:02, sabato 9 marzo 2002, hai scritto: Salve a tutti ...impostato come scd0 (penso sia stato fatto in automatico,io non ho messo mano) Ora per far emulare pure il lettore hdc che devo fare? Ti invio la risposta che ho mandato mercoledì scorso. Allora, per fare ciò devi prima creare un link simbolico (per farlo devi avere i privilegi di root). Premetto che io ho installati entrambe i CD sul secondo canale IDE ed il mio CDR è settato come slave, quindi corrisponde a /dev/hdd link (DevFS) a /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd Ma come device SCSI è posto come /dev/scd0 link a /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd perchè primo dispositivo SCSI. Quindi ho creato il link simbolico per il secondo dispositivo SCSI con ln -s /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd /dev/scd1 Al riavvio mi sono accorto che il CDR non era più visto come /dev/scd0 ma come /dev/scd1 (infatti è configurato come slave) e quindi il CDROM era diventato /dev/scd1. Allora nel mio /etc/fstab ho modificato così le righe che definiscono i CD /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/scd1 /mnt/cdrom2 auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0 e poi ho inserito l'pzione hdc=ide-scsi (hdd=ide-scsi era già presente) nel boot-loader. Infine ti dico che per raggiungere tale risultato non ho fatto altro che leggere un articolo apparso su Dev n° 88 e poi ho effettuato alcune prove per capire come muovermi (con Linux basta un pochino di pazienza e alla fine si risolve quasi tutto). ;-P Fammi sapere. -- saluti Giovanni Mazzamati mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Linux Mandrake 8.1 KDE 2.2 user Registred User #183142 Un giorno le macchine riusciranno a risolvere tutti i problemi, ma mai nessuna di esse potrà porne uno.

Where x=the signal number and proc= the process number that was in ps is Being a real operating system Linux will ensure that all space that any locked program was taking is freed up when you kill it. Read the manual on these for your options i.e. man ps 3. They talk about top as a command line version of kpm. blush Don't know as i haven't used it yet - hey we can't learn all the tools simultaneously /blush. Try man top and see if that is what you want. 4. Like the Xkill icon, as i found out from a recent thread, Ctrl Alt and Esc turns on an Xkill mode with a nice mouse pointer. Manouver with the keyboard arrows if the mouse is frozen. Try it, the same key combination toggles it back off again. Are you happy with all the info on the F12 display? Was yours running ok when you checked it out? The reason i am asking is it is good to hear back when and how a problem was solved. Especially for someone searching the archives in the future.

Re: [newbie] rpms and OpenOffice.
Ok, I found it and tried it but it does not work here i has been made woth a cooker version of Mandrake, and it's libs and stuff are all advanced. If all goes well, you can probably use the RPM with Mandrake 8.2 ... But I won't promise that :-) I suggest to download the latest binary from openoffice.org, and manually install that. It works at least :-) Do an ./install /net if you want to use it for several users and don't want to install a separate version in each users $HONE. The results below is exactly what I got too, except for the libstdc++3.0.

[newbie] Is it Reiser or is it something else ?
Hi All, I Spent last night in an infinit loop of reinstalling LM 8.1 on a new machine, till I dropped asleep!!! here is the full story... Got a new P4 desktop machine with, 256 RAM and a 40G HD drive and had the following intention: make it a dual boot machine ( as simple as that used to be ) I did the following: - The machine originally came with Win98SE on it. - installed Partition Magic 4 (yeah I know they'v reached Ver 7 now ). - partitioned the 40G disk into the following: * shrinked the WIN 98 partition to 3G Fat32 called WIN_C * created a 250 Linus Swap * created a 13G Linux native * some free space * the last 10G of the drive made it a Fat32 WIN_D ( to be used for windows data ) - done with the partitioning, I installed W2K - done with the W2K installation, started installing LM 8.1 - chose expert install, but now i got the idea of using the Reiser file system, and have the /home directory on a sperate patition (for future easy upgrading) So, I deleted the 13G ext2 partition ( that I created in Partition Magic) and created 2 new partitions with the Reiser file sys: first one is: 3G with / mount point, second one is 8G with /home as mount point. , and went on with installation. Installation went fine till the last CD ( 3rd) was done, after the window that says: finished copying files, an error message appered saying: AN ERROR OCCURED, SOME IMPORTANT FILES WAS NOT COPIED, then one saying: CANNOT FIND LHLIST, THIS IS PROBABLY CAUSED BY A BAD OR CORRUPTED CD OR CD DRIVE, CHECK THE CD WITH AN INSTALLED MACHINE WITH : rpm -qpm Mandrake/RPMS... bla bla I was confused what could have gone wrong ?! SO I started the instllation again and changed the / partition to ext2 same thing happend I started it again changing both partitions to ext2...same thing started again and chose not to install 3rd CD guess what ? same error msg ! I know the CD Drive is working fine, and the CD is fine too I used it to install LM on another 3 machines before... CAN anybody tell me what can I do ? I ran out of ideas for the next install I know that was long sorry but my night last night was long too :-) started it again - Hanan AL-Shargi Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Running Open Office more directly
* Charles Muller [EMAIL PROTECTED] [020308 23:53]: I installed OpenOffice 6.41 using the tarball, and it works fine. However, it is slightly inconvenient to use, since each time I have to open the console, change directories to /OpenOffice.org641 and then type ./soffice. Is there a way of simplifying this process? You can put a link in any directory in your path (this could be in addition to placing an icon on your desktop or whatever). Open a terminal and type: echo $PATH This will show you which directories are searched when you type a command, and in which order. The colons are separators. Change to one of those directories ... and if you don't have write privileges, su to root: su And give the root password. Then make the link: ln -s /OpenOffice.org641/program/soffice ooffice You can name it something different if you like. Then from an command line you should be able to type: ooffice Or whatever you called it, and it should load up. We use OpenOffice.org 641C in our junior college lab with Mandrake 8.1, and LTSP 3.0 with very good results. OOo 1.0 will be out in maybe a month, and we're looking forward to that.

Re: [newbie] SB Audigy question
Ok... I thought someone was gonna set the record straight long before now. The SB Audigy does not have built in support in 8.1. There are drivers available for it from the emu10k1 sourceforge webpage, which are experimental at best. They provide basic audio out, but I'm not sure how much more then that they offer. You can install these drivers in 8.1 if you want, however as far as I understand, the audigy driver has been incorporated into the lastest kernels, and should be in the 8.2 distribution. As for the firewire support, SB1394, it will work fine as it is an independant part of board. (IE: not incoporated into the audio processor). If you need more information feel free to ask.

Re: [newbie] Athalon 1700+ running on Dragon Plus MB
From: Gerald Waugh This MB has no jumpers, everything is setup in the setup screens. Well the MB has a 266 Mhz FSB, but I guess that when the bus speed is set to 133 the DDR RAM bus is running at 266??? the overcloking feature only affects the FSB (Front Side Bus) it goes up in 1 mhz increments, but the max is 233. Now in the BIOS Setup it has CPU Ratio Setup with options of 6.0X, 6.5X, 7.0X, 8.0X, 9.0X, 9.5X, 10.0X, 10.5X, 11.0X, 11.5X, 12.0X, 13.0X, 14.0X, and AUTO Mine is currently set on AUTO But it may be beneficial to set it to 10.5 ??? maybe auto is 10.5 but I don't know While the MoBo has settings to allow overclocking, your proc is Multiplier Locked, meaning you cannot change the multiplier without physical changes to the proc. All Athlon class, Pentium III, IV's are this way standard. Celerons and Durons may be able to have the multiplier changed, although I am not sure if they still can. The FSB at 266 is a dual pumped 133, so 233( not that you could run that high without radical cooling on everything, not just the proc) would be 466 dual pumped.

Usually, the default PATH is set as part of the startup routine, but you should have a PATH in your .bashrc if you want to add or remove directories to search.

[newbie] seeing windows chapter 2 :-)) (bit for Costin)
Hi all (and hope Costin gets this too :-)) I am half way there, with only one hurdle to go! I have just looged in as root, found the lisa and reslisa config files and configured them correctly, thanks to http://lisa-home.sourceforge.net/and the sample configs there. However, I have one final problem. I can log in and see all my windows shares as root, but its a different story when logged in as username. Clicking on network in the home dir tells me to configure LAN browsing using control center. Going to control center tells me that to configure lisa I must be root! ButI have already configured it as root and it is working!!! Why am I stuck in this loop? I have tried copying and pasting both config files into the appropriate place in my username home directory, but that doesn't work. Please could someone help me finish the circle? Costin - I had the same error message as you, but used the simplest of the config files on the web site above and it solved the problem (as root anyway). Hope this helps. Thanx Heather

If y'all have ML 8.x to 8.2, a memtest86-??mdk..rpm is on your Cd's. If you install this rpm, it'll add memtest86 as a boot option. I've had problems usin it this way tho. It's also much better to test hardware without loading your OS/file systems. Specially Linux/ext2, and any M$ Windoze product. File system corruption and/or Winblows registry corruption can occur. So, however you get memtest86, I'd advise copying it to a floppy and booting that, rather than booting to it on your harddrive from lilo. The tar.gz version has an 'installer' to do this for you, just read the doc. Mandrake's rpm will put a memtest...bin file in /boot, edit and run lilo to add it as a boot option. You can copy that or any other memtest.bin to a floppy by doin this in a term dd if=memtest-2.8.bin of=/dev/fd0 (this assumes you're in the dir where you have memtest.bin, and that your floppy is fd0 ) OTOH, 'mprime -m, 17' (Prime95's torture test) is a much better cpu/cache/ram tester, but it still won't prove your hardware as well as Cpuburn will http://users.ev1.net/~redelm/ Any software test of ram/memory is not entirely feasible. Only very expensive hardware test beds, that're specific to the ram being tested are accurate viable tests. Cpuburn will, like most other software testers, stress check the cpu/cache/ram all at once. Faulty systems can get by memtest86 fairly easily, even the Prime95/mprime torture test won't find all difficiencies ... but if Cpuburn doesn't find 'em, they're probly aren't any, ie 'bulletproof'. That's why I advise testing cpu/cache/ram from a memtest86 floppy first, keeping your OS/filesystem offline. If all's well, then try mprime's torture test. If you pass that, go for Cpuburn. Until a system passes Cpuburn, any problems, present or future, could be more likely be hardware than software, or at least you'll never really know or is it somthing else ; -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

If you use the FAT32 filesystem then wine, codeweavers wine, and transgaming winex will run most but not all windows programs.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 OK, You downloaded and unpacked the tar.gz file... there should be several files in the unzipped folder, or not? Well, there is a setup file... sorry, not install... my appologies. Try a ./setup /net and the rest should be pretty straight forward. I canot remember if the /net funtion is well documented, but it exists from StarOffice, and it still used in the OopenOffice.org. You will have to install this as root. One thing I must add... I had a big problem in the beginning where I could not read the install screen. I found out that this had to do with Abiword (some arial font that was contained in it), and uninstalling it first fixed everything :-) Ok, once installed, let's say in /usr/share/openoffice.org641 (I have no idea what 4.1 version you are referring to?), as a normal user type /usr/share/openoffice.org641/setup and it should install several files into your home directory.

I really think it has more to do with the decreasing quality of current hardware, than the increasing 'tightness' of (Mandrake) Linux.

Re: [newbie] SB Audigy question
FWIW Jeff, I have an SBLive! and it worked fine on LM8.1. On LM8.0, it works great. Supposedly, the upgrade is worth it...Cleaner signal, and 5.1 digital output. I have a receiver and this is definitely worth it... Maybe 8.3 for out of the box functionality? Brendan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] cd-rw thoughts?
i have decided to upgrade my old and buggy (HP7100i) cd-rw drive. have looked at the yamaha's, sony's, and the plextor's anyone have opinions for best results using LM8.x? i have a preference for the yamaha. one thing always catches me on the spec sheets, it seems that yamaha is almost the only drive out there using 8mb buffers. my current drive (philips in hp-markings) is well known on the net as being a total piece of crap, and i have the coasters to prove it. ;-) so, i don't want to end up with another piece of crap. all the reviews i found, of course, go on about performance in the winblows world. i could care less how well devices perform in billys sandbox. or the software they are bundled with. i am thinking no less than a 20x cd-r, not really too fussy since my current drive is 2x (yes 2x. i have had it for awhile) anyways, if anyone had opinions, or experiences they wanted to sway me towards or away from a particular type. many thanks, moose.
