[newbie-it] Problemi con l'audio
Ciao ragazzi ho installato mandrake 8.1 ma ho dei problemi con la riproduzione audio. La mia scheda (ESS Solo1) viene vista e installata correttamete ma, nn sento l'audio. Ho a reinstallarla in harddrake, se provo a mettere un'altra scheda mi dà errore dicendo ke il dispositivo è già in uso ma se rimetto quella mi vien fuori la finestrella che mi Play a sample ma io nn sento nessun suono. C'è qualcuno che potrebbe aiutarmi a risolvere questo problema?

Se vuoi eliminare ide/atapi per i due dispositivi, aggiungi un paio di righe del tipo options ide-cd ignore=hdc in /etc/modules.conf Attento poi che non ci sia in giro nulla che cerchi il cdrom come atapi.

La mia funzionava a meraviglia con la mdk 8.0. HO provato a farla andare con la 8.1 ma non c'e' niente da fare. Ho anche reinserito gli stessi moduli che usavo con la 8.0 ma non parte. Ho congetturato uno dei seguenti problemi: 1) Tra i moduli non audio che la 8.0 installava ce ne era uno che interagendo con quelli audio che includevo io faceva andare il tutto. 2) il devfsd di mdk8.1 non ha un device audio ben configurato e quindi pur avendo inserito i moduli giusti non sentiamo l'audio. Moden Lucent WinModem (Ke so già nn funzionerà mai in linux ma m'interessa pochissimo inquanto io mi connetto ad internet attraverso una Lan installata in casa) Il mio funziona a meraviglia.

Re: [newbie-it] Problemi con l'audio
Ciao Luigi, il modem è un LT, cmq ho installato ank'io la 8.0 ma avevo esattamete gli stessi problemi (x quel ke riguarda l'audio, mentre il modem funzionava correttamente). Adesso sto scaricando la 8.2 proverò ad aggiornarlo con questa versione e poi, se il problema sarà risolto, te lo farò sapere visto ke potrebbe essere utile anke a te. Ciao Luca

Un soft-modem non e` altro che una scheda audio che emette/riceve impulsi sonori che vengono MOdulati/DEModulati dalla cpu. Fare in modo che uno stesso oggetto funzioni sia da winmodem che da scheda audio tradizionale non sembrerebbe tanto difficile e su un portatile salva un po' di spazio. Per farla funzionare come scheda audio, se ben ricordo, era bastato togliere l'opzione sistemi che supportano pnp nel bios o mettere nobiospnp tra gli append di lilo. ciao, andrea

Re: [newbie] Linux User Groups
Hi Bill, I am a little far away to attend your LUG being in South Africa but I would like to make some suggestions. I would suggest setting up two mailing lists, one to be a lesson distribution one and the other to be a chat one for the lessons i.e. the students cannot post to the lesson distribution list but can to the chat list. Have a strictly controlled lesson structure and distribute the new lesson for the week once a week. Only those who have requested to join the class will receive the lessons and you can set the term times up so that people wanting to join can submit a request to join and they will then be added into the next running of the course. I know there is a class available at the moment called blt-something but the moderator, Henry White, has banned me from ever joining his class again because I commented on his non-distribution of the lessons i.e. he had a site that students had to go and visit to learn and I cannot afford to be online that long so that is why I asked him to send it via email. Anyway, I would love to be able to learn where Linux stores certain config files and how to install new software etc. You need to make your lessons distribution non-specific as possible but do mention what distro the lessons are made from and therefore what distro you suggest. Personally I'd go with Mandrake as it should be fairly easy for Windows users (I am still a part Windows user and thinker) to use but there are some snafu situations. Next thing is cost. The course would need to be free to internet users but maybe charged for at the LUG as it is hands on personal stuff. My 10c's worth. I look forward to receiving a notification that your free classes are going to start and to sign up via the [newbie] mailing list. -- === Hylton Conacher on KDE 2.1.1 on kernel 2.4.3-20mdk#1 Registered Linux user # 229959 on Mandrake 8 on an i686 (AMD 1 Ghz K7 mobo Licenced Windows user and thinker === Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Permissions on directory changing themselves
The Higher description at install said that it was good for servers. The last thing I expected from a server security level is a ban on pinging your own NIC!

Re: [newbie] VMWare 3
Thanks to all who suggested fixes for my problem. There were some bios settings that were wrong by default and I had to change the cdrom device from /mnt/cdrom to /mnt/cdrom1 to get it to work. Now all I need to figure out is how to get my network connection going. It has installed the network card drivers and I have configured the network settings in config, but still won't install my cable software through my lan. Previously I have had to only install vmnet 0 and none of the others to get it to work. I have done that this time and it still won't work. Any ideas there?

[newbie] Specifying a hostname
What are the "rules" when giving a machine a hostname? The machine in ? does not have an external IP and there is no real hostname to give, as in mandrake.com or something like that I am just going to use it as a "learning box" for setting up web, ftp, Samba, etc. So can I call it whatever I want, does it need to be, something.com?
