[newbie-it] X-CD-Roast su mdk8.2
Salve a tutti. Ho installato la mdk8.2, ed ho visto che ha attivato in automatico il supermount: e' una funzione davvero utile. Premetto di avere un lettore CDROM 32x TEAC, un masterizzatore WAITEC WT624 ed uno scanner Artec AT6, il tutto SCSI su un controller Advansys. Il problema e' che X-CD-Roast si rifiuta di funzionare: Se inserisco un CD con dei dati che voglio masterizzare, X-CD-Roast mi dice che il CD e' vuoto (Ho provato ad inserirlo sia nel lettore che nel masterizzatore...) Ho provato a dare il comando da root: supermount disabled Ma il problema persiste. Ho anche modificato il file /etc/fstab togliendo le linee che richiamano il supermount, e aggiungendo (da Linuxconf) i dispotivi appena rimossi, per non fargli usare il supermount. Ho riavviato il tutto, ma niente da fare.

I have an Optra LX+ printer I am trying to hook up to either my network or the 8.2 box.

Before I go on blindly, as usual, does anyone have experience with this printer? Is there another, perhaps better, way to do this?

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 8.2
On Tuesday 16 April 2002 4:03 am, Charles Griffin wrote: I've already pre-ordered my copy of ML 8.2 Powerpack and I was wondering if Mandrake is going to update 8.2 for the boxed sets. I'm running 8.2 now from the iso's, but for example, the problem with xcdroast and cdrtools -- is that going to be fixed in the final shipped retail version of 8.2? Any thoughts? Just curious. Thanks, Charles At I guess I would say not.. The time taken to print CD's and distribute boxes means a boxed version will almost certainly be the same as the online ISO's However the new 'update packages' facility at the end of the install procedure means purchasers of boxed sets can get the benefit of all the published 'errata' without having to look it up, which is a big improvement over previous releases. Since you already have the downloaded ISO's I assume you only want the boxed set either to get the 'commercial' packages on the extra CD's or you wish to reward Mandrake for the work exerted in putting together the distro. In either case a subscription to Mandrake club will give you what you need. Mandrake get more money than if they had sold a box set, and you get access to more downloads than are available in the box set.

[newbie] Problem telnetting to Solaris box from Mandrake 8.1
Dear All, I'm trying to telnet from my trusty Linux box to one of our Solaris servers. When I do I get the user prompt, enter my username and it then locks up until it times out. The same box dual booted into Windows telnets without any problem so I'm pretty sure its not a problem with our connectivity or office firewall. I don't think that this is a hardware related problem as everything else seems to run fine, but I get frustrated that I have to drop out of lovely stable Linux to telnet to a Solaris box (both flavours of Unix). After looking around on the web I've found references to telnet being disabled for Redhat, but the disabled tag doesn't appear in my xinet.conf file, so I don't believe this is the problem.

Thanks, Lyvim Xaphir wrote: On Fri, 2002-04-12 at 08:06, rsch77 wrote: Hello all, I need an advice. Does anybody know a good IDE for C/C++, and where I find it ? Thanks in advance, Rodrigo I've tried xwpe, rhide, and Kdevelop. I really liked xwpe for it's simplicity and resemblance to the old Borland C IDE; but Kdevelop has some advantages that you can't ignore. First, it's the most complex of the ide's above. It's also the most functional and productive. One thing that's a real mind blower about Kdevelop is that makefile, documentation, and binary packaging provisions were built right into the IDE. It sets up sample documentation and configuration files that are exactly in line with the generally accepted packaging standard for GNU rpm and tarballs across the net. If you're using Kdevelop you are automatically compatible and up to date with the latest program packaging standards. That's a HUGE time saver. That also means that if you've never manually assembled a binary package for public consumption, Kdevelop gives you a BY Example crash course on how exactly to do it properly. Having said that, I also have to say that I haven't found a way (yet) to neatly integrate my use of Vi as an editor in to Kdevelop. It has an IDE of it's own (editor), but it's in no way comparable to Vi. I would have assumed that there would have been a way to integrate Vi and Kdevelop smoothly and seamlessly together, but I haven't seen it yet. Presently I work in a transparent Eterm using Vi to edit the C source, then go to Kdevelop, reload the source (an annoying process), and then use the Kdevelop utils to generate the makefiles, object files, documentation, and binary(s). In fact, any advice from some Kdevelop wizard on using the ide in a way that automatically edits the sources using the programmer's favorite editor would be appreciated L8R LX Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] raid-controller
- hybrid - wrote: a friend of mine got heavy problems with his raidcontroller after installing mandrake 8.2 he can't boot anymore , it stops when it comes to mount the raidcontroller as he said any advice ? There is a thread about modprobe to use the BIOS-extension RAID controllers as read devices under linux, and quite a bit more. If it is the typical WinRAID controller and the drives are set up in RAID under that controller, additional modules must be loaded to read it. For RAID under linux, it is of course totally unnecessary and far less efficient than linux software RAID. If it is a hardware RAID controller, not the fake hardware IDE-RAID controllers being peddled for $30 to $60 extra price for a PROM that provides a BIOS extension. then I would be very interested in learning more.

Re: [newbie] Calendar/PIM recommendations
The two things I really miss in Evolution (and gnomecal and the other calendar / organizer / PIMs for Linux I've seen so far) are: 1. Although appointments can recurr, tasks cannot. If you want a recurring task like Do laundry every Monday, you'll have to enter it manually every Monday forever. 2. A task will be visible immediately upon creating it even if it is not scheduled to begin yet. Example: If I create today the task Buy Christmas gifts scheduled to begin December 10th, the task will appear daily beginning today. -- Warren Post Santa Rosa de Copan, Honduras http://www.srcopan.vze.com/ On 16 Apr 2002 10:41:40 -0400 Paul Rodríguez [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What sorts of things do you find lacking in evolution?
