Re: [newbie-it] modem interno
Alle 23:19, giovedì 9 maggio 2002, hai scritto: - C'e' una altissima probabilita' tendente al 99% che sia un winmodem non supportato; sarebbe comunque interessante sapere che chipset monta; - cerca su http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html, www.linmodems.org e con google se c'e' qualche riferimento in giro per il tuo modem (non farti illusioni, AFAIK non c'e' molta speranza ..); - l'irq 17 non esiste :) presumo che sia un refuso. hmmm, non saprei. Ho lo stesso problema e con un modem Lucent (non AMR) che era ampiamente suportato e funzionante sulla rh 7.2 (portatile Acer) previa installazione del driver. Ho scaricato il relativo driver per mdk8.2, l'ho installato ma riscontro gli stessi problemi. Settandolo (come da default) come /dev/modem mi dice che non riesce a rilevare il modem, se cambio in ttys2 dice inizializzazione modem e rimane fermo li e non si connette.

Poi una volta rifatta e formattando le partizioni preesistenti è andato tutto a buon fine. anche lilo mi permette sempre l'avvio a win Ho solo dato un'occhiata veloce ma - sigh - il problema dello scanner collegato allo hub non si è risolto. Continua a non vedere sto cazz' di hub. Mah!! solo una cosa quindi: e' normale il tempo dell'aggiornamento. anzi, a seconda del pc, puo' essere anche piu' lungo. L'aggiornamento e' una cosa che richiede molto tempo (immagino prima controlli tutti i pacchetti che hai e le dipendenze ecc.) Me ne sono accorto. ;-) Ciao ku68

Può darsi che la directory non sia montata (controlla leggendo il contenuto di /etc/mtab: se è presente vuol dire che è montata). Può darsi che se provi come utente normale non te lo faccia fare mentre da root sì: vuol dire che in /etc/fstab nella riga corrispondente non c'è l'opzione 'user' (in realtà quella opzione decide chi è che può montare quella directory).

[newbie-it] CD Allegati a LinuxC difettosi
Salve a tutti, invio questa mail, perche' mi e' successa una cosa strana. I CD della mdk8.2 allegati a Linuxc mi davano dei problemi durante l'installazione, il lettore continuava a rippare senza procedere, non completava il secon stage, etc. Ho saputo in facolta' di non essere l'unico con questo problema, ma visto che sono riuscito a risolverlo, posto il procedimento da me seguito, magari puo' essere utile a qualcuno. Quello che ho fatto e' stato creare delle copie dei CD tramite NERO, il quale permette di specificare il numero di tentativi di lettura da eseguire prima di dichiarare un errore, e inoltre consente un certo recovery dei settori danneggiai, anche quando questi siano su dischi masterizzati in modo 1. Ho usato nero perche' Clone vedeva i cd danneggiati, e non riusciava a correggerli. Se la copia riesce in modo corretto basta rimasterizzare i cd e i problemi sono risolti. Spero di non essere troppo OT e di non aver scassato le b---e a nessuno. Ciao Nicola. P.s. I problemi nelle ricompilazione dei moduli che avevo trovato nella 8.1 qui non li ho riscontrati (E vai!!) - Salve, il messaggio che hai ricevuto è stato inviato per mezzo del sistema di web mail interfree.

[newbie-it] ICQ
Buona sera oh gloriosa mailinglist ^_^ il tedioso problema ICQ purtroppo al momento credo sia risolvibile solo in 2 modi :'''( il primo è licq 1.1 con tutti i suoi incolmabili limiti (dopo lo scempio made in mirabilis non si può creare nuovi account, autorizzare le persone ad aggiungerci alla loro contact list e tutto il resto... ma almeno funziona) il secondo dovrebbe essere vicq ma non ne ho mai trovato l'rpm e comunque è un programma che funziona in modalità testo (io sono agli inizi con linux e ho ancora il terrore di ciò che non è grafico) per il resto da quando è stato cambiato il protocollo tutti i programmi che non si sono ancora adattati sono inservibili. per quanto riguarda cambiare l'account confermo che è necessario usare il comando licq -b una_directory solo quando si possiede già un account icq perchè la registrazione con licq non funge... bisogna quindi prendersi la briga di fare prima un salto sul sito di icq da cui mi pare proprio che ci si possa registrare ciao ciao ^_^

Re: [newbie] installing a tar.gz
To install a tarball you must first decompress it. tar -zxvf file.tar.gz z=ungzip x=extract v=verbose f=filename (I think) tar archives the files. gz compress's them this will create a directory with the files in it, cd into that directory and there will most likely be a INSTALL or README file, that'll tell you how to install it. Mandrake installs with glibc so the /w glibc package should work. If not, then download the static which should work by itself. -Jay Stojs said: Now is about time I learn how to install a tar ball.

RE: [newbie] Noisy Processor Fans
Hi Richard, It's a small world! I too get annoyed about the noise levels from my PC, but couldn't find much about quiet processor fans when I recently replaced mine. Lo and behold, TheRegister (that website again!) has got an item about a new fan-less NEC PC, with a link to a company that supplies gizmos to quieten your current machine. Guess what: the website address is... www.quietpc.com ! Obvious or what? Richard PS If you find a quiet fan, could you let me know about it? Cheers. Well, despite my previous bad pun, for which I have absolutely no remorse :-), I would still recommend the ThermalTake fans and the Volcano7/7+ for an excellent balance between cooling performance and noise. The fans being sold on the quietpc.com site are clocking in at about 22.5 dB, the Volcano fans start at about 27dB. Since they have variable speeds based on CPU temp they do get noisier if higher cooling levels are required but in my experience they spend most of their time at the slower fan speeds. Personally I am willing to put up with a slightly higher noise level if it means better cooling, particularly considering my passion for overclocking everything in sight :-) (Damn that toaster is FAST now!!) You can enhance the easy of cooling here through various methods, including using a copper shim between the proc and heatsink to increase the efficiency of heat dissipation. I would also tend to recommend a smart case fan that will again alter revs based on the ambient temp in the case. ThemarlTake does these as well. You may have gathered I am a bit of a fan of TT, this is because since using their kit I can actually put the case/cover on my PC without the temperature going through the roof! Believe me, when you overclock everything, that really is some feat!! Ideally of course I would tend to recommend the liquid cooling systems which effectively refridgerate your PC, often using a cooling pad mounted in the top of the case, since hot air rises :-) This means you only require a heatsink on the proc. This does have some associated noise, but very little. The MAJOR drawback of this type of cooling is cost, but if you really want to lose the sound of whirring fans totally and have a good few hundred £'s to spare... Steve.

Re: [newbie] another 2 distro boot (Help please Civileme!)
O Well, there has to be an initrd.image file somewhere ,it has to be found and put into the active /boot directory, because it you don't have one then it's a reinstall job . Grub is only another form of Lilo , it's where the boot script goes if you are using grub. I'm a bit rust with grub , haven't used it for a while, I stick to lilo these days, though there is nothing wrong with using grub as such , it hasn't been around so long as lilo and therefore has a reputation with some that it isn't as good as lilo. but I don't really know that . Each Linux OS has to have it's own kernel version and initrd.image file and they all go in the active /boot directory. You have LM 7.1 and LM8.2 , now I know that 7.1 does not have a very sofisticated lilo install programme and that is why it has to be installed first, on the otherhand LM8.2 can do it all where getting the lilo stanzas right is concerned. Can you get to desktop anywhere at the moment. Can you read all the the directories of both OS's from any Desktop . Surely if you installed 8.2 last you are on desktop in 8.2 at least. It's just a matter of getting into 7.1 and copying the intird.image file and kernel across to 8.2's /boot directory, and then writing your lilo/grub stanza to boot 7.1, and judging from your example ,this ought to do it. I guess your not getting into 7.1's OS at this time, and this is why your not finding the 7.1's initrd.image file , and kernel yes ? That's a good explanation. I am in 8.2 no problem. I have hdb5 (7.1) mountimg as /home/old, again no problem. No initrd to be found in /home/old/boot/, there is the problem that i started this thread with. Bascule seemed to be implying that it was unnesecary. snip lilo.conf OK, So you are on Desktop in 8.2 , and you say you have a /home/old/boot, This is not clear to me. If you have the 7.1 OS mounted there has to be an entry in the /etc/fstab file of LM8.2 to get it mounted. This file is read at boot time and provided the stanza to mount it is correct you will have a mounted 7.1 OS to go rummage around. I suspect that you don't have a mounted 7.1 OS in LM8.2. though I may be wrong. To get a mounted 7.1 partition in LM8.2 you have to do two things, 1) create a new directory in /mnt directory of LM8.2 this can be called anything , say call it LM7.1 2) add a line to /etc/fstab in LM8.2, mine looks like this:- /dev/hda9 /mnt/ext2-vol6 defaults 1 1 yours might look something like /dev/hdb5 /mnt/ext2-LM7.1 Play around with it a bit , maybe I got the definitions a little wrong somewhere , there are examples in fstab to help you go by. Then hopefully you have your 7.1 OS mounted in LM8.2, then go rummage around and find the kernel and initrd.image files for 7.1 and copy them across to the /boot directory of LM8.1, The go to /ect/lilo.conf in LM8.2 and add the the stanzas to boot it. This is basically the Silveleme method, maybe not the exact way he does it but it follows his principle. The only problem is that the newbie has to have all this extra knowledge to do it, whereas the DrakeX method of creating /boot /root/ /swap partition method everything is automated, all you the user have to do is make sure you get your lilo/grub stanzas correct as you install it. But lets see whether we can get Silveleme's method to work for you now that you have got this far. If you have any trouble with the abovementioned, maybe we could see what your LM8.2 fstab file looks like. -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Chkrootkit shows nothing?
A few days ago, I got some KWrited docs popping up on my Mandrake 8.1 desktop (Security warning: World Writeable files found followed by a long list of files located on both hardrives). I am a linux newbie and assumed the popups were the product of some kind of monitoring utility that I had inadvertently installed. Although I have a simple workstation setup (except for the extra partitions and triple boot aspect to it) and installed 8.1 with medium security, I went back into the control panel and re-set it to medium security and the Kwrited popups stopped appearing. From the lists of files displayed, I assumed my machine had been compromised and that I would have to partition, reformat, reload the win98, mandrake 8.1 and Redhat 5.1 partition in order to make things right. I downloaded chkrootkit and ran it while booted to the main HD/ Mandrake 8.1 just to see what was up. Surprisingly it showed nothing. I'm not sure why that is. I am not familiar with chkrootkit and may have failed to run it so that it searched all of the drives. Can anyone tell me how to run it to seach RH 5.1 or the win98SE partition? Can that be done from 8.1 on the other drive as I attempted? Does it check comprehensively or does it only check the drive/OS that it is booted to? Secondly, is it possible that, despite the KWrited popops that occured on 2 different occasions, my machine is unnaffected? dan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Grub is only another form of Lilo , it's where the boot script goes if you are using grub. I'm a bit rust with grub , haven't used it for a while, I stick to lilo these days, though there is nothing wrong with using grub as such , it hasn't been around so long as lilo and therefore has a reputation with some that it isn't as good as lilo. but I don't really know that . Each Linux OS has to have it's own kernel version and initrd.image file and they all go in the active /boot directory. You have LM 7.1 and LM8.2 , now I know that 7.1 does not have a very sofisticated lilo install programme and that is why it has to be installed first, on the otherhand LM8.2 can do it all where getting the lilo stanzas right is concerned. Can you get to desktop anywhere at the moment. Can you read all the the directories of both OS's from any Desktop . Surely if you installed 8.2 last you are on desktop in 8.2 at least. It's just a matter of getting into 7.1 and copying the intird.image file and kernel across to 8.2's /boot directory, and then writing your lilo/grub stanza to boot 7.1, and judging from your example ,this ought to do it. I guess your not getting into 7.1's OS at this time, and this is why your not finding the 7.1's initrd.image file , and kernel yes ? That's a good explanation. I am in 8.2 no problem. I have hdb5 (7.1) mountimg as /home/old, again no problem. No initrd to be found in /home/old/boot/, there is the problem that i started this thread with. Bascule seemed to be implying that it was unnesecary. snip lilo.conf OK, So you are on Desktop in 8.2 , and you say you have a /home/old/boot, This is not clear to me. Yes i had Mandrake 8.2 booting okay under LILO. I had Mandrake 7.1 mounting automatically on boot as /home/old. I had edited fstab to include it. No initrd file to be found in amongst my 7.1 files anywhere. I had done file searches from within konq on initrd* searching through the /home/old directory structure (recursive searching and case insensitive searching were both selected). In 8.2, they are both (vmlinuz and initrd) in /boot, thus i would have expected to find it in /home/old/boot but initrd was not there. If you have the 7.1 OS mounted there has to be an entry in the /etc/fstab file of LM8.2 to get it mounted. This file is read at boot time and provided the stanza to mount it is correct you will have a mounted 7.1 OS to go rummage around. I suspect that you don't have a mounted 7.1 OS in LM8.2. though I may be wrong. snip I had created other issues while doing package updates. So i decided to reload 8.2. As i had tarballs of both /home and /root of 7.1, i also decided to repartition and reload it back on to the old 4Gig drive. Loaded it with all docs this time and LILO instead of grub. I had a working stanza for lilo.conf then to import into 8.2. The vga=788 line was causing more greif, it turned out to be unsupported under 7.1. Reinstalled 8.2 (treating package updates gingerly this time, one at a time and not trying to update ghostscript as it locked up X). With all the docs loaded on 7.1 i got konq to do another search for initrd*. Found a kernal doc that was very informative. As Bascule said in the first place initrd is/was entirely optional and it seems under 7.1 it was left to the user to implement if they chose. It is a ram disk image that has various commands preloaded into it that are used during the boot cycle, then dumped - that is if i read it correctly. Anyway copied my vmlinuz-blah-blah across. Installed 7.1' lilo stanza in 8.2 lilo.conf. Typed lilo as su and it is away. Still could not completely recover netscape mail even after installing the /home tarball, but that is another issue... i know what to do next with that. I am a happy chappy and i can go back to my security updates et al now knowing that i have learned something. Thanks Bascule, and thanks for trying John.
