Puoi includere quello che vuoi, il problema è il formato dvi che non
supporta altre immagine che eps.
Si puo comunque processare il file latex con pdflatex per avere un anteprima
in formato pdf (che accetta il jpg ed altro) e nel caso stamparla.
Attenzione pero ad usare i font giusti, p. es aggiungendo al preambolo un:
\usepackage{pslatex}
o simili, pena una scarsa qualità del testo in formato pdf.

Su quale posrta hai collegato la stampante? Se non erro,se le porte parallele sono riconoscite dovresti trovare uno o pi file nella directory /dev del tipo "lpx" dove x il numero della porta.

Mi hanno detto che non istallando completamente ipchain tutto si

che ne pensate?
Il fatto non e' tanto nel non installarlo come rpm ... pero', dato che
iptables e ipchains [insieme al modulo di compatibilita' per i kernel
2.4] _non_ possono essere in esecuzione allo stesso tempo (ne' cmq
avrebbe senso che lo fossero), devi evitare di far caricare ipchains,
se vuoi usare iptables.
Quindi toglilo dai servizi all'avvio e rimuovi il modulo relativo
caricato ('rmmod ipchains').
Cosi' dovrebbe essere risolto il problema.

Re: [newbie-it] Aggiornamento KDE da 2.2.2 a 3.0
Un modo abbastanza automatico ci sarebbe: devi usare il programma di mandrake per l'installazione dei pacchetti. Qui devi aggiungere una nuova fonte specificando il percorso dove hai i pacchetti di kde3. Dopo fai una ricerca con kde e seleziona per installarli solo i pacchetti dalla versione 3.0. Così dovrebbe fare l'aggiornamento automatico e l'installazione dei pacchetti per soddisfare le dipendenze. ciao ENx Luca Giannuzzi wrote: Ciao a tutti, vorrei kiedervi una piccola informazione Come si è già capito dal soggetto io voglio aggiornare il KDE dalla versione 2.2.2 (inclusa nella MDK 8.2) alla nuova versione 3.0 ke ho trovato oggi sul sito della KDE (ftp://ftp.rz.uni-wuerzburg.de/pub/unix/kde/stable/3.0/Mandrake/8.2).

[newbie-it] KDE 3.0
Salve alla lista, Ho da poco installato KDE 3.0. Devo dire che esteticamente è decisamente più bello (icone comprese). Sulla mia macchina poi gira più velocemente del precedente 2.2.2, anche se all'avvio ci mette di più. Problemi riscontrati 2: 1) Manca la lingua italiana... sto scaricando qualcosa. Se funziona ve lo faccio sapere. 2) L'audio funziona a metà: xmms e gli mp3 vanno, DVD e giochi pure, Wav aperti con xmms anche. Perchè allora la sigla di apertura e tutti i suoni di sistema non vanno, nonostante siano attivi? Per ora un saluto.
[newbie-it] kde 3.0
Aggiornamento. 1) KDE ancora in inglese: non trovo un file per la localizzazione in italiano 2) Ancora i suoni dell'avvio non partono 3) Swappa come un forsennato 4) Il Microsoft Media Player (Vers. 6.5) preannunciato in konqueror, non parte con varie applicazioni web, nè io lo trovo... Alla prossima. Un saluto.

My sons computer is a K7S5A and I have spent hours wrestling with its 'eccentricities' I also know Civileme's opinion of that MB (it aint high) There are two issues with K7S5a which has caused me problems. The first is that after powering down I have to leave it for at least 30mins before powering up or else it will not reach 'POST'. This is irrespective if Linux or Windows. Consequently any messing about with putting boards in or out takes hours to accomplish. (Hopefully your one will not suffer from this) The second problem is the way IRQ lines are assigned in K7S5a which is based on the slot number the card is inserted in, as well as the onboard components having reserved IRQ lines. Your sound card problem is very likely due to an IRQ conflict. To fix it I suggest first disabling any onboard component you do not need. On board sound, midi, game port, Lan, usb (if not needed) Disabling ACPI may also help. Then try the sound card plus any other required cards in different slots and check the IRQ lines assigned, until each device ends up with its own IRQ line and works. (This might not be too bad if it were not for the 30 min delay between trials.) Its a pity the BIOS is so bad because once it is working the MB has excellent performance for a really low price :-( HTH derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] KDE3.0 a BIG disappointment.
It isn't a good answer, but it's the truth whether you like it or not. Before the official release, the only people who would use the (unfinished) product are people who know what they're doing and who are willing to experiment (i.e. mostly developers and testers). Most people aren't like this, so the software is only tested in a limited combination of system setups and configurations. KDE3 probably works quite well on most of the developers' and testers' computers, and so was judged to be ready for release. Once the official release is made, an endless minefield of possibilities is opened as ordinary users decide to try this stable release. Things are bound to go wrong, and you'll probably have to wait for a 3.1 release to have decent stability. This is normal, and is to be expected. It happened with KDE 1.0, GNOME 1.0 and KDE 2.0. I am expecting it to happen to GNOME 2.0. It happens to commercial software as well, but many companies have the resources to test their software on a variety of configurations before releasing. Also, KDE is far broader in scope than most commercial applications, so there is more that can go wrong.

Why: The default firewall configuration flushes the forwarding rules set up at the beginning of the boot. It happens only if you did not setup the Tiny Firewall from the Mandrake Control Center.

[newbie] OT - bash-how to operate on nested directories
I'm trying to write a script to generate m3u playlists of all my mp3s and oggs. Then I'll create a cron job so that my m3u lists get updated from time to time. I can generate a playlist using: find /tunes -type f -follow -name '*.ogg' -o -name '*.mp3' -o -name '*.MP3' | sort myplaylist.m3u. This includes all the files in all the folders in /tunes. But what if I want to generate playlists for each directory under /tunes? I've got /tunes/mp3-blues/albert king, /tunes/mp3-blues/freddie king etc... I can generate a list of directories under /tunes, but I don't know how to pass that on so I can do something with it. With my limited knowledge, I think I'll need to do a for loop (?)

[newbie] Moving HD's
Currently, my drives are set up as follows: Primary master (hda) - old, slow, and possibly flakey IDE. Win98SE only with two FAT32 partitions Primary slave (hdb) - nice ATA100 IDE. Mandrake 8.1 with /, /boot, /home, /swap, /archives partitions -- some Reiser and some ext2. Secondary master (hdc) - CD-ROM Secondary slave (hdd and scd0) - CD-RW I just bought a new Maxtor ATA 133 IDE HD to replace the windows drive. The plan is to move my current windows installation to it. (Yeah, I know, but there's some stuff that doesn't work in Linux.) I've done this before and it's worked well. I'll have about 10 gb free space there for future use. Problem: Maxtor wants each of the two hard drives to be set up as the master on separate channels. My concern is that Mandrake will move from hdb to hdc, and the CD-ROM goes from hdc to hdb. Is this going to create problems, or is there a simple way to do this? FWIW, a complete 8.1 reinstall wouldn't be all that big a deal, but if there's a simpler way I'd like to hear about it. -- cmg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] SM56 in Mandrake 8.2
It's odd that pci shows the modem using IRQ 10 but interrupts don't show it listed. Are you sure you have the modem driver installed correctly? Maybe that it's not actually loading. Here's something to try. Open a terminal window and su to change to root. Then run modemconf and see if it detects your modem. It may not, particularly if you are using IRQ 10. Click on the detect button and see if it finds it then. If it does, you should click the accept button. This will create a link between /dev/modem and the actual device.

I'm not sure what to say since I didn't need to use the fdisk you get with MS operating systems here, but I don't think you need to have the disks on separate channels.

[newbie] Strange 101010101 problem when booting
Hi, I have a problem with 8.2. Im installing on a scsi hard disk but my boot record is going on my primary master IDE disk in the computer. The disk also has Windows XP on it. After installation (which goes flawlessly) Instead of getting the LILO prompt, I get a scrolling screen of 101010101010101010101010 and it never stops. I have to repair the boot record back to the original windws one to get it working again, but I am unable to use Mandrake. Any help would be appreciated. Here is my system: Athlon 1.4 512 DDR RAM Main boot drive is IDE (ultra 100) Linux drive is IBM SCSI drive on an adaptec ultra 160 card kyroII vid card etc etc. If there is anything else you need, please ask as this has been driving me crazy! I tried the graphical LILO as well as the text only LILO. Neither helped. I also tried installing LILO and the boot info to a floppy disk, and it STILL happened. Weird. Thanks! Mike S.

After the BIOS update I just ran the auto detect and booted. Didn't change a thing. The hard drive is supposed to be backwards compatible and this seems to be the case. It isn't working as an ATA 133 since the board isn't capable of utilizing it that way, but the ECS K7S5A that I installed the 40 GB on for my friend is running as an ATA 100.

I have an AMD K6-2 running at 420 MHz in an ASUS P5A motherboard. Most everything else is standard, SB16, Nvidia TNT2, 160MB Ram, two 20 Gig Maxtor drives, Ricoh CD-RW and generic CD-reader. I have been fighting a weird problem the last couple of weeks. I loaded MD 8.2 and really liked it, but could not get a printer installed. Whenever I ran PrinterDrake, it asked me for Disc 1 and tried to install something. My computer would freeze solid during install, responding only to the reset button. I tried a fresh reinstall of MD 8.2. Same. Tried a fresh install of 8.1. Froze during the install. Civileme suggested a bad CD. I burned a new one. Same. I tried installing from a different CD-drive. Same. I pulled my soundcard and every other non-essential card and disk drive. I was able to reinstall MD 8.2. I ran PrinterDrake. It wanted to install some package again (CUPS and Foomatic, I believe). Out of frustration, I just hit cancel and you guessed it, it worked! I now have a printer. I thought I was home free. Remember the soundcard I pulled? I reinstalled the card and tried to run soundcfg. Not there. I ran software manager. Froze. Solid. At this point, I'm at a loss, other than tying it to a boat. Any suggestions? Has anyone had good experiences with an ECS K7S5A motherboard? Thanks for bearing with my rantings and ramblings. Even if I don't figure it out... I feel better. Linus Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com The ECS K7S5A is high performance, but before 8.2 was little better than a boat anchor itself. With 8.2 you need to do some tweaks: 1. edit /etc/modules.conf and find the line that starts alias sound-slot-0 pcm-snd-i8x0 and delete it and the line following it. then put in this line alias sound i810_audio and save the file. Don't bother with your SB 16 card for this machine. The onboard sound is good once you get past the misconfiguration for/by ALSA. The SiS 900 should set up properly from the beginning, so you will have networking. Even a Duron 750 will make this look like a speed demon, along with all the RAM you can cram (use either SDRAM _XOR_ DDR, but not both), and it is neat if you have two IDE drives and RAID0 most of your partitions except /boot and /--very blindingly fast with 8.2.

I've checked for conflicts. There aren't any. you say you burned a new cd, was it from the same download? did you checksum it? Different download and I checksummed it. last but not least, if it is the software manager, have you tried installing the needed packages from the commandline?
