[newbie-it] Emulatore dos e as400

R: [newbie-it] Emulatore dos e as400
Per dos io uso DOSEMU, di facile installazione e con un manuale ben fatto. Utilizza una cartella a tua scelta come disco C virtuale, perciò se vuoi far girare un programma in DOS ti basta copiarlo in tale directory.

[newbie-it] Problemi con samba
Ciao a tutti, descrivo brevemente il mio problema: il mio pc linux è un client di una rete locale avente server e altri 2 client microsoft, per accedere alle risorse del server ho avviato samba dicendogli di creare un punto di mount nella directory /mnt/server che lincasse alla cartella server contenuta appunto sul server (Scusatemi il giochetto di parole ma chiamare server tutto ciò ke linca o è contenuto nel server l'ho fatto per comodità e facilità a :)) ). Samba ha aggiunto la seguente riga nel mio file /etc/fstab: //server/SERVER /mnt/server smbfs defaults 0 0 Il problema sorge ogni volta ke avvio il pc, xkè il mdk mi da FALLITO nel tentativo di montare samba e devo rimontare la dir su server rientrando in control center - punti di mount - pti di mount smb - monta dispositivo. Quello ke mi sembra molto strano è ke se monto la dir dopo l'avvio tutto va bene e riesco ad accedere ai dati, ma nn ci riesce all'avvio. Da cosa può dipendere? Le modifiche nel file fstab le ha fatte in automatico, come mai nn funzionano??? Se nn sono stato abbastanza chiaro ad esporre il problema kiedetemi cosa nn si capisce. Grazie a tutti in anticipo ciao Luca

Re: [newbie] non PnP ISA modem
Thanks to everyone who replied. The problem was that I didn't have setserial installed and didn't have a clue where to find it. But now that's fixed and everything is working perfectly. So thanks again to everyone who replied. CJ C.J.Kent wrote: I have an internal non-PnP ISA modem that is working fine under windows and was working fine under Red Hat 6.1.

[newbie] Moving the home directory.
Hi, For some reason (most likely my self), the home directory ended up in a partition where I do not want it to be. Can I move the home directory to the partition where I want it to be? Can I log in as root and move the home directory? the home directory for the root user is on the partition called / and I would not be moving it in this operation. Currently I have: /home in the /dev/hde2 partition and I want it to go on /dev/hde3 partition instead. The /dev/hde3 partition is currently mounted on a directory /mnt/hd. Also /mnt/hd holds some files that I want to continue to use. I want /hde3 mounted on /home.. ok I think I got it. This is what I will do once I recieve some blessings from this list: I move the directories currently under /home to /mnt/hd, then I change one line in /etc/fstab to make /dev/hde3 mount on /home instead of /mnt/hd. I think this will preserve the contents of the user home directories and also those files that are now in the /mnt/hd directory. Any feedback will be appreciated.

I would probably give 1GB to /var, 5GB to /usr, 1GB to /tmp, 1GB to / (unless you plan on installing many things to /opt, in which case you should allocate more), and the rest to 'data'. Of course, it all depends on how you use your system. You may also want to look into LVM. LVM can treat both drives as one unit, and it allows you to change partition sizes non-destructively. Diskdrake can handle LVM creation. LVM? Is that a virtual machine? Sort of software RAID without fake RAID on hardware like the cards that are too expensive? grin Linux already has an excellent software RAID implementation. LVM is both a competing and complimentary technology to software RAID, depending on how you use it. You can, I hear, configure an LVM on top of a RAID setup. I'll go Google-ing and read what I can find about that. I'll save you some trouble. Try http://linux.org.mt/article/lvm and http://www.sistina.com/products_lvm.htm. So for the two 60 GB hard drives (the one already in the box and the one that I'm picking up today) I only really need about 8 GB? Actually, you probably won't even need 8GB. But it's always better to have too much than too little, especially when you're dealing with as much as 120GB. Fine; but what the _h_e_ double hockey sticks do I do with the other 112 GB? ;-) You can never have enough disc space :) Thanks for the suggestions, I'll be doing a lot of reading before I re-install the system I do believe.

Sridhar Dhanapalan's message on April 12, 2002 01:17 am, stated: LVM? Is that a virtual machine? Sort of software RAID without fake RAID on hardware like the cards that are too expensive? grin Linux already has an excellent software RAID implementation. LVM is both a competing and complimentary technology to software RAID, depending on how you use it. You can, I hear, configure an LVM on top of a RAID setup. I'll go Google-ing and read what I can find about that. I'll save you some trouble. Try http://linux.org.mt/article/lvm and http://www.sistina.com/products_lvm.htm. So for the two 60 GB hard drives (the one already in the box and the one that I'm picking up today) I only really need about 8 GB? Actually, you probably won't even need 8GB. But it's always better to have too much than too little, especially when you're dealing with as much as 120GB. Fine; but what the _h_e_ double hockey sticks do I do with the other 112 GB? ;-) You can never have enough disc space :) Thanks for the suggestions, I'll be doing a lot of reading before I re-install the system I do believe.

[newbie] Installation Problems
Hi, I just installed ver 8.1 on my system. This is a dual boot and during install it asked me to install LILO which I did. then it said to remove media and it rebooted the pc. Goes through POST, then starts to load everything. Gets to the point where it tries to boot from the CD ROM, then tries to boot from the Floppy Drive. At this point the screen has 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 in a continuous loop going across the screen The light for the floppy drive is on constantly. it is not blinking. Normally this is due to cable being installed wrong, but the cable is right cause if I boot to windows it is fine. I can boot to windows if I use my windows boot disk. I can boot to Linux if I use the Linux boot did it asked me to create. but it will not boot up normally to LILO and give me the boot options that it should. Windows is installed on hda 40GB Linux is installed on hdb 40GB Computer config is Dual P3 1GHZ, 768 MB RAM, CDR, Floppy, 2 hard drives, and zip drive, GeForce2 video card. The install went smoothly as far as I can tell I didn't get any errors during install and everything seemed to be recognized properly. There is no SCSI equipment in the machine.

(Actually, that subject line should be *utter* newbie) I've taken the plunge here, and installed ML 8.2 on another machine, one that I hope to eventually use to replace my present Windoze server system, but have already hit a stumbling block head on. My present server system runs under 98SE, and contains those servers and user files for my domain and the subdomains I host. It also contains the 3COM NIC that hooks to my DSL modem, along with a secondary NIC for the LAN. The new Linux system was previously a 98SE client system, and things worked about as well as they ever do under the Win32 platform. My intention is to use the Linux system as my primary server, and move the user files and so forth to it, as well as make use of it's FTP, mail, and http servers to host my domain and clients. This is where I am running into problems. I need to be able to network the new box into the existing setup, so that I can test things before making these changes, and to be able to transfer the existing user files over to their new home, but... I am unable to make the Linux system connect to the winbox. I'm using the same IP address and subnet mask that I used with the system when it had Windoze installed on it, but it refuses to connect now, and I am not nearly experienced enough with Linux to know where to start looking for clues as to the how's and why's of this procedure. No doubt, I've not installed something needed, or have otherwise overlooked the obvious, and was hoping that some kind soul here could give me a boot in the right direction as to what I need to set up to at least get the two systems to talk to each other, perhaps a tutorial somewhere that could lead me in the right direction.

Many thanks in advance, and apologies for my blatant ignorance on the topic. ;c) Windows machines use a proprietary SMB protocol to talk to each other. So in order to use your Linux box as a Windows file server it needs to 'look like' a Windows box. That function is performed by a server function called 'Samba' in 8.2 Samba is quite easy to set up (compared to earlier releases) using a tool called 'Webmin' Webmin is worth getting to know because you can set up a whole bunch of stuff with it, and can even set up your linux box with a remote computer. First install the rpms samba,samba-client,samba-common,webmin The webmin server will automatically start when you install the rpm. Next type https://localhost:1in the URL line of any browser. This will pull up the webmin login. Login as username root. Ignore the other fun stuff for the moment, To set up Samba select Servers Samba Windows FileSharing It will show a page showing your default shares which are homes -This is the home directory of whichever user logs into samba printers - This is any linux printer attached to the Computer or networked through CUPS You can try adding new shares later, but start off just trying to share the home directories. Next define the samba user names. These do NOT have to be the same as the Linux user names, but it makes life simpler to understand if they are. These users must also exist on the Windows computers. Webmin has a nice facility to automatically convert linus users to samba users. Select 'Convert Unix users to Samba Users' It will then show the users it has converted. Delete any unwanted ones, and make sure thos that remain are defined with 'normal user' 'password IS required' and set the password to be the same as the Linux password (for an easy life) Next Select 'Windows Networking' Make sure the workgroup name is as for the rest of your network. Then click on 'Restart Samba Server' and you should be just about there. (So long as I have not left out some vital step) You should then see your Linux computer in Windows 'Network Neighbourhood' and you should be able to mount the home directory of whichever user you used to log into the windows box. If it does not accept the password, there is something screwy in your username/password config. To browse the Windows computers from Linux two methods are easy to do. 1/ Install the rpm 'komba2' Start it from the Kmenu and then you should get a 'Network Neighbourhood' browse facility. Clicking on a folder will open it (so long as you have given komba the username/password) and it will mount in your home directory under the folder 'komba' 2/ Use Mandrake ControlCentreMountPointsSambaMountPoints Click on 'Search servers' to find your windows computers. Click on the server name to find shared folders Select one and click on mount point to specify the folder on the linux machine where you want this share to go. Click on options- user allows a user to mount the folder as well as root. Noauto means the folder will NOT be automatically mounted every tme the computer boots.

Re: [newbie] NFS unmount hangs system.
I had the same problem. You just have to make sure nfs and nfslock doesn't run and doesn't startup at boot. And most importantly, make sure autofs doesn't run and startup and boot time.

Last night I left it at that hang state just to see if it does anythng if it is left on its own for long time. This morning there was nothing on the screen to show me that anything new has happened but it responded to the ALT+CTL+DEL.

[newbie] Very Newbie Question
I have MD 8.1 installed on my first drive and wanted to do a separate install for MD8.2. I put in a second drive and installed MD 8.2 which installed its version of LILO in MBR. After reading the LILO info on MUO, I learned that I needed to go back and reinstall the original LILO and then edit lilo.conf to add the MD 8.2 boot. Here is my problem. I booted up CD1 and ran 'rescue'. But I can't figure out how to get access to /dev/hda5 so I can run /sbin/lilo. Trying to mount the /dev gives me 'Permission Denied' and 'Device already mounted'.One time I got a message indicated that mtab shows the device already mounted. I checked mtab, and all the correct partitions were showing up. If I were in DOS, I would simply type the drive letter (c:) and go for it. Can someone clue me in on how to move from /mnt/cdrom to /dev/hda5? I've looked through three of my linux books (have a couple more to go) and there is no reference as to how to do it.

Get your free yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Well go to www.civileme.com Open the Software folder Download Xtart (not the rpms, just the simple file) Read it over if you like--the file is text. Save it at /usr/bin/Xtart Now set your runlevel to 3 using Mandrake Control Center, and reboot. You will come up in console--just login as your normal user name. Type Xtart without the quotes. You will get a menu of all X window managers installed on your system. If you type in a single 0, X will start WITHOUT a window manager, just a single xterm (you can use things that don't start X from there. like 'startkde'). If you type in any other string of characters, the first match of in the left column will be selected e.g. Type 'En' without quotes and it will match 04Enlightenment or use '04' if you prefer. Now you are running in X--you can stop at any time by ctrl-alt-backspace or by logging out in the normal way. Of course, if you just want a console, you can use ctrl-alt-Fx where x is between 2 and 6 (yes the numbered function Key) and you will be in console with X running on ctrl-alt-F7 (It launches from the console at ctrl-alt-F1, so I don't recommend using that).

Re: [newbie] Stopping X
If you are just wanting to get to the console outside of X, you could press control alt F1. That would create a new session in linux (you would have to log in again). When finished doing whatever it was that you were doing, you can press control alt F7 to return to your X session.

Re: [newbie] Apache server not in browse list
Actually, this would be samba, not apache, since apache is a web server only, not a file-sharing program like samba. Most likely, the problem is occuring because your windows machine and your linux machine are not in the same workgroup or domain. If they aren't, windows won't see the linux box directly in Network Neighborhood -- you'd have to either select Entire Network and then select the other workgroup / domain, or make sure the domains match.

Barry well, you have to know where the disk is mounted. you see, /dev/hda5 is the name of the device, but to list it's contents, you have to mount it on a directory. i'd look into the /mnt/ directory first. if that doesn't help, you should remember when you ran the 8.2 installer, the part when you can manage the partitions, it says the mount point for each of them. anyway, you can run the installer again, and when you get to the mount points part, write down all the info, quit the installer and go to the rescue again.
