Ciao __ syd Grazie di tutto syd per l'indicazione, istallerò dinuovo la mdk8.2 (l'avevo tolta nel frattempo dalla mia partizione dedicata su hardisk) e voglio verificare da console che, nella delusione di harddrake non ho pensato di fare anche perchè nemmeno KDE me l'ha rivelata nel modo giusto indicandomi sempre i fatidici 900 MB e la versione è più recente della SuSE, anche se forse nemmeno KDE centra su questo. La tua risposta sul kernel ha aumentato la mia confusione, mi si devono perdonare certe affermazioni da ignorante, i più esperti conoscono bene questi argomenti e da parte mia sebbene con Linux sappia usare un po di comandi, destreggiare nelle istallazioni, partizioni e armeggiare un po i file di configurazione, sono solo agli inizi e troppo abituato con Windows dove non devi pensare a niente. Confesso che non ho ancora le idee chiare su tante cose, quindi volevo chiederti a te e a chi altri vorrà rispondermi questo: - Le routine di riconoscimento hardware sono inserite solo nei tool grafici di controllo come Harddrake o YaST2 per esempio ? - Aggiornare allora un kernel cosa significa ? - KDE dove le prende certe informazioni hardware del suo centro di controllo ? Queste sono solo alcune delle infinite domande a cui devo dare una risposta. Confesso che con Linux sto scoprendo tutta la mia ignoranza ma che mi si prospetta di recuperare e di imparare molto, sempre ovviamente che chi sa si renda disponibile e abbia la pazienza di sopportarmi da parte mia metterò il massimo impegno. Ormai Linux mi ha conquistato e dove c'è da imparare la ci sarò io, almeno fino a quando mi sarà consentito. Saluti e grazie da Giuseppe.

[newbie-it] kde3 urpmi e software manager
buon giorno oh gloriosa mailinglist! sì lo so, in questi giorni ho troppi dubbi ^_^. il punto è che dopo essere finalmente riuscito a installare kde3 sul mio computer sto provando anche su quello di mia sorella ma la situazione che mi si para davanti è quanto meno paradossale: i cd di mandrake non vengono riconosciuti dal software manager nonostante siano gli stessi che ho usato per installare mandrake pochi minuti prima sul suo computer e nonostante software manager sul mio li riconosca perfettamente... sono quindi assolutamente sicuro che funzionino. qualcuno quindi ha un'idea del perchè nel momento in cui vengono richiesti da software manager questo non riconosca alcun supporto nonostante l'installazione di mandrake vada assolutamente liscia? e perchè questo succede solo sul suo computer? non perdendomi d'animo ho specificato come fonte un mirror per il download degli rpm della 8.2 e ho disabilitato i 3 cd... alcuni pacchetti che urpmi dice di dover usare sembrano non esistere sul sito, o almeno curl dice così. Ma la lista dei pacchetti disponibili non viene calcolata in base alla reale presenza degli rpm sulla fonte? non ancora abbastanza scoraggiato vado a vedere il man di urpmi e vedo un'opzione che sembra perfetta per risolvere i problemi se non del mondo intero quanto meno miei: urpmi.update -a... immagino sia il comando giusto perchè urpmi alla fine della fallita installazione mi aveva consigliato di aggiornare la lista dei pacchetti o qualcosa di simile (non ricordo le parole esatte) lancio il comando il quale si vanta di aver aggiornato la lista degli rpm sulle fonti, tutto contento riprovo urpmi * dalla cartella dove ho scaricato kde3 ed il problema con i pacchetti si ripresenta assolutamente identico io ho finito le idee... qualcuno ne ha di nuove? ^_^ ciao ciao!

[newbie] Samba is not working in 8.2
Hi, I've just installed new 8.2 from Linux Format DVD. My machine is a Pentium II 350MHz that I would like to install as Firewall/Router DNS Server SMB server (File Server for networked Windows machines) Print Server. I used to have another machine running Windows 2000 Server that served the above purposes, the problem was that the machine was constantly under attack and in the end was defeated and became unusable. I hope that by installing Linux, I could get away with some of the problems I was facing. After installing 8.2 I setup DNS and Firewall, these work fine. But not Samba, I can see the Samba server when browse Network Neighbourhood only when I click to open this server the error was "Network path not found". I tried to set system security to lower level, thinking that these might be the problem but to no avail. What can I do now ?

Well first you made a good choice when you decided to switch to Linux :-) Two suggestions 1/ Are you trying to run Samba through the 'protected' interface on your Firewall? If so you need to poke a few holes in it for Samba. This article tells you how to do it on the command line http://www.mandrakeforum.org/article.php?sid=1467lang=en If you install the InteractiveBastille pack you can get a little GUI to do the configuration for you. 2/ Did you configure any directories for Samba to share? An easy way to set up Samba is to use Webmin. Install webmin rpm and then in a browser on the local or a remote computer enter https://hostname_or_IP_address:1 (Note https not http) Also Samba must know about the Windows username/passwords which are allowed to access directories. Again you can set this up with webmin. If you prefer a command line setup then just read the samba config file /etc/samba/smb.conf It contains lots of example configurations you can just uncomment.

With best wishes, Dave Well 8 minutes to boot up is right out of order. Perhaps you should worry about that first before worrying about getting a graphical system working. That message about SCSI is worrying. You do not have a scsi adapter fitted so the only other time you should see messages about SCSI is if you have a CD-RW fitted. (A CD-RW is always configured as SCSI even if it is IDE) You do not mention a CD-RW in your kit list so I am wondering if the root of your problem is the Highpoint370 hardware RAID controller on your Abit KG7-RAID motherboard. To give you a bit of background - The KG7 like many modern MB's supports this RAID feature which most Linux people regard as a 'gimmick'. It is not really hardware at all, and offers inferior performance to the RAID built into the software of Linux itself. (Linux can do Raid without one of these controllers) However the fact is these 'hardware RAID' MB's exist and so Linux must coexist with them. Mandrake 8.2 will install on a 'hardware RAID' MB, but I do not have personal experience of doing it. These links may help you.

Re: [newbie] Samba is not working in 8.2
* Beastie [EMAIL PROTECTED] [020513 06:10]: I've just installed new 8.2 from Linux Format DVD. My machine is a Pentium II 350MHz that I would like to install as Firewall/Router DNS Server SMB server (File Server for networked Windows machines) Print Server. You probably know this, but if security is a concern, it would be much better to have one old linux computer that does nothing but act as firewall. It is more difficult to set up good security with things like Samba and NFS running on the firewall machine. However ... I used to have another machine running Windows 2000 Server that served the above purposes, the problem was that the machine was constantly under attack and in the end was defeated and became unusable. How can anyone concerned about security take seriously an operating system (W2K) that by default hides known file extensions from users, and stuffs Outlook down your throat ;-) I hope that by installing Linux, I could get away with some of the problems I was facing. You can. After installing 8.2 I setup DNS and Firewall, these work fine. But not Samba, I can see the Samba server when browse Network Neighbourhood only when I click to open this server the error was Network path not found. I spent most of the weekend fighting with the same problem. I found that the bastille-firewall was interfering with Samba, so I disabled it and loaded firestarter. Same thing. Samba worked fine if I disabled either firewall. I think it has to do with it blocking netbios TCP. Anyway, I took a more manual approach and used one of the sample firewalls from the iptables-HOWTO and it works fine. Now my Mandrake 8.2 server tolerates my Win2K workstation. I tried to set system security to lower level, thinking that these might be the problem but to no avail. Not a bad guess, though. What can I do now ? I know this seems very difficult, but one illusion we have to overcome is that networking can be simple. As soon as you connect one computer to the Internet, you have full-blown sysadmin problems on your hands. For example: Are you using encrypted passwords? Have you looked at the Using Samba book that comes with Samba? Pretty well written, but it's still complicated as heck. Do you have a fixed IP number (connecting to the outside) or using DHCP from an ISP? Are your internal (probably private) IP numbers, your netmasks, your netbios names, your domain/workgroup names all correct? There are so many different configurations that it is a major problem to get all this working properly, especially with Microsoft trying to make it harder, not easier. Perhaps you could provide more details, and then maybe one of us could help you build a firewall that works with your situation. It would be nice if it worked out of the box but that just isn't going to happen, at least in my experience. -- Jan Wilson, SysAdmin _/*]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Corozal Junior College | |:' corozal.com corozal.bz Corozal Town, Belize | /' chetumal.com linux.bz Reg.

Re: [newbie] Networking
Dear Brian, On Sunday 12 May 2002 07:48 pm, you wrote: Marcia, I have seen some replies to this, but don't think any of them have yet touched on a crucial point: Your laptop is running W98, so would therefore be much more safely disposed sitting behind your linux box in internet terms. I agree with you here. I would like to do this but am a newbie here and really do not know how to do that. I have been reading for months about it, however, it has taken awhile to approach this for me. Does the laptop have an ethernet port, or can it be added? Yes, the laptop has an ethernet port and 2 USB ports. My new Toshiba DOCSIS cable modem has both an ethernet port and USB port so I hooked up my desktop with LM8.2 to the ethernet port and my laptop with dualboot Win98/LM8.2 is hooked up to the modem through USB. They both connect to the internet just fine and to my surprise even the LM8.2 is on the internet through the USB. I have been able to ping from LM8.2 on my desktop to Win98 on my laptop. I have not tried pinging from LM8.2 on my laptop to LM8.2 on my desktop yet. I thought of using VNC to use the Powerpoint program on my LM8.2 desktop if that is possible. My husband prefers using the desktop and wishes to become proficient with Powerpoint for his work. mind the best scenario would be for the laptop to be connected to the linux machine via ethernet - just a crossover cable between the two would do this. Then you set up internet connection sharing and firewall on the linux box. Add samba and you have the laptop able to share the cable connection from behind a firewall, and move files/share printers between the two machines. I would love to do this and probably can right now if I figure out how to set it up. Assuming that neither box has a network card (as you indicated the cable modem is connected via USB), total cost for this would be almost nothing for a NIC for the desktop and somewhat more for the laptop. Like my budgeting? Actually both computers have a network card. The desktop also has a dial up modem which I do not use and the laptop has 2 dial up modems. I am able to use the cox cable internet from LM8.2 on the laptop through the USB connection. That was a pleasant surprise. My goal here is to be able to network all of my systems and to possibly use ipmasquerade so that Win98 can be used on the net through Linux. These are the things I need help with since I do not know exactly what to do yet. Thanks very much for your suggestions and help.

I mean, if you want to open a file or list a directory, then presumably you also want to mount the dirve where it's found, so why not do it automatically (supermount was not enabled by default in 8.1 because of some bugs in the then current version of supermount; AFAIK this problem has been resolved in 8.2).

Can everyone just comment on whether or not they are using it, and maybe some pros and cons? Thanks! I had all kinds of trouble with supermount,then discovered autofs. It is so much easier and works perfectly. Here's how: (As root): supermount -i disable urpmi autofs (it may already be installed) You will then have three files in /etc. auto.master, auto.net and auto.misc. autofs by default mounts under /misc, but I like it to mount under /mnt as I am used to. So I made the following modifications to these files: My auto.master looks like this: /mnt/etc/auto.misc --timeout=10 /net/etc/auto.net --timeout=10 My auto.misc looks like this: kernel-ro,soft,intr ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux cdrom -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev,user :/dev/cdrom cdrom2-fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev,user :/dev/cdrom1 win -fstype=smbfs,rw,nosuid,nodev,username=x,password=x ://windows/c My auto.net is not changed from the default. So now I just type ll /mnt/cdrom and automount kicks in! Yay! :) Only thing is that /mnt is empty until the mountpoint is mounted by autofs. So in a programs file dialog you will usually have to navigate to /mnt then manually type cdromtab or cdromenter to have the mountpoint mounted and see the contents of the dir. With autofs being so easy, I have no idea why so much effort has been put in to supermount in the first place. As I said, it works perfectly for me. I hope this helps, let us know how you go...

[newbie] Using RPM for Python on Mandrake 7.1
I am trying to use the python-2.2-9mdk.i586.rpm to upgrade my Python version. This appears to have PyQt-2.5-1mdk.src[1].rpm and python-2.2-9mdk.i586[1].rpm. Both of the RPMs above have dependencies, I can understand this but do not understand and cannot find some of what they are looking for. Example: libpython2.2 is a dependency of python-2.2-9mdk.i586[1].rpm. so when I try to install libpython2.2 it has dependancies of rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) = 4.0-1and rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) = 3.0.4-1 What are these and how can I satisfy this dependency.

Re: [newbie] Simple line in recording
What would be the simplest way to do a recording using the line in on my soundcard? I'm using 8.2 with a SBLive 5.1 Platinum (with Live!Drive, but You'll likely need a 1/8 male-to-male stereo adapter cable (the stereo nes have two rings on the 'business' end of the cable AFAIK) and plug one in to the sound card and the other to the line out jack on the source. Most stereo stores (radio shack for instance) will stock most adapter cables. Use a gui mixer (kmix for instance) to experiment and set levels etc. 'rec' is about as good as any for recording audio; all you have to do is set the # channels and file type, and then record -- hit ctrl-C to finish the recording. Use a 'temp' file (i like wowie). The neat thing is that you can simply recall the last 'rec' command used in the shell if you need to do repeated trials. There are some OK editing s/w packages out there (I've used mxv with some succuss) but I'd just play with rec (and play) now - once you got the recording down pat you can play with the editing stuff.
