[newbie-it] Fotocamera digitale e Mandrake 8.2
Sul manuale Guida all'installazione e manuale dell'utente di Mandrake Linux 8.2 si legge (a pag. 180... che pignolo...!) che il programma GTKam ed il relativo plugin per Gimp vedono con estrema facilità le fotocamere digitali. Ebbene, la mia Olympus C-420L malgrado sia presente nell'elenco dei modelli _riconosciuti_ sembra non volerne sapere di funzioanre. La stessa cosa accade con GPhoto, il modello è fra quelli riconosciuti ma poi la macchina sembra non essere vista. La connessione avviene in ambienze Winzozz regolarmente quindi sono certo del funzionamento del cavo e dell'hardware in genere. In Linux la Olympus è connessa a /dev/tts/0 Qualche suggerimento? Esperienze in merito? Ciao Ivo
[newbie-it] Scheda sonora del toshiba satellite 4300
Ciao a tutti, ho dei problemi con la configurazione della scheda sonora con la mandrake 8.2. La scheda sonora viene riconosciuta correttamente ma, durante il boot fallisce il caricamento delle impostazioni del mixer. Ora arriva il complicato: per farla funzionare devo mettermi a giocare ogni volta sui moduli del kernel realtivi al sound (e derivati)... poi con il drakxservices devo far finta di far partire alsa (ma il messaggio che tira fuori e' shutting down alsa OK (no comment)), poi far partire snd, a quel punto tutto sembra funzionare (xmms, kscd etc...)... tutto tranne il tool che dovrebbe configurare la scheda sonora (dal drakxconf... hardware... etc...), che come al solito riconosce la scheda, poi quando prova a farmi ascoltare il sample mi caccia (sulla shell da cui lo faccio partire) un messaggio simile a mixer non trovato... e qua' di nuovo non funziona neppure cio' che prima funzionava... ah! dimenticavo che non riesco a salvare la configurazione che funziona... ad ogni reboot ritorno a dover rifare le operazioni... aiuto... ciao, M. __ Do You Yahoo!?

E' un Logitech Track Ball Il fatto che tu non dia molte informazioni purtroppo mi obbliga ad andare a naso ... anche perche' non so con certezza se e come (visto dal sistema) un mouse con la trackball si differenzi da un mouse con la rotellina. Prima di ogni modifica ad un file di configurazione del sistema, fai _sempre_ una copia di sicurezza. Se e' un mouse per porta PS/2, se usi XFree 4.x, prova ad inserire nella sezione InputDevice relativa al mouse, nel file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 righe tendenzialmente simili a queste (commentando con un # quelle esistenti): Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse1 Driver mouse Option ProtocolIMPS/2 Option Device /dev/psaux Option Buttons7# 5 o 6 ?

In un Intellimouse Explorer p.es. sono 7: oltre a quelli di cui sopra ci sono altri due tasti; con lo ZAxisMapping a 6 7. Nella trackball [preciso che non ho idea di come sia fatta] ci sara', presumo: la palla (considerata come quattro tasti) e due tasti (o piu'?). Quindi i Buttons saranno 6 e ZAxisMapping sara' 3 4 5 6 (dato che e' come se ci fossero due rotelle incrociate) ... cosi' almeno pare dando uno sguardo a www.xfree86.org, nella sezione mouse, che comunque ti consiglio di andare a guardare).

[newbie-it] Compilazione (Alsa0.9.0beta10)
Il problema l'ho riscontrato appunto con Alsa, non so se è presente in altre ricompilazioni. Al momento del ./configure incappo in un errore apparentemente strano, il processo si ferma avvertendomi che forse mi manca il file /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h, controllo, e sorpresa! Il file esiste!! Dopo un pò di tempo perso ho scoperto che il problema era legato al file version.h, che ha un include della forma: include linux/rhconfig.h, che a quanto pare risulta indigesto al configure. Modificandolo nel path completo tutto funziona: include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/rhconfig.h. A questo punto mi è venuto il dubbio che la mia modifica potrebbe provocare dei problemi ad altre compilazioni, se non addirittura in fase di ricompilazione del kernel. Help!! Inoltre nonostante la ricompilazione dei driver Alsa su mensionati sia andata a buon fine (è la prima volta che riesco a ricompilare alsa!!) mi pare che manchi il driver per la mia scheda specifica (SbLive!, snd-card-emu10k1.o.gz). Premetto che ho incluso nel configure l'opzione --with-card=emu10k1. Se qualche anima pia mi sa aiutare gliene sarei molto grato (La versione 5.10 inclusa in MDK8.2 mi funziona, a parte il midi e ai volumi...) includo la lista dei moduli che ottengo: snd-ac97-codec.o snd-card-serial.o snd-pcm.o snd-seq.o snd-ainstr-fm.o snd-card-virmidi.o snd-pcm-oss.o snd-seq-oss.o snd-ainstr-gf1.o snd-cs8427.o snd-rawmidi.o snd-seq-virmidi.o snd-ainstr-iw.o snd-hwdep.o snd-seq-device.o snd-synth-emux.o snd-ainstr-simple.o snd-i2c.o snd-seq-dummy.o snd-synth-opl3.o snd-ak4531-codec.o snd-mixer-oss.o snd-seq-instr.o snd-tea6330t.o snd-card-dummy.o snd-mpu401-uart.o snd-seq-midi-emul.o snd-timer.o snd-card-mpu401.o snd.o snd-seq-midi-event.o snd-util-mem.o snd-card-mtpav.o snd-opl3.o snd-seq-midi.o Grazie a Tutti.

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). Sir Robin (now back on 8.0, but at least I don't have to post with Interent Explorer!) I tend to agree, though I'm not sure how supermount affects the command line only users. Maybe it's a disadvantage to them. john -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Doesn't your DHCP always allocate IP addresses from the same subnet? You only need to put the broadcast address of your subnet into the CUPS configuration. You do not need the IP address of a particular host. So putting 192.168.1.255 in the config will cause all hosts on the 192.168.1 subnet to respond. Also on the same page you can configure named hosts to poll. You could just put the hostnames in there. derek On Tuesday 14 May 2002 8:33 pm, Terry Sheltra wrote: Derek, Thanks for the info .. how would I be able to configure it using DHCP? Thanks!

[newbie] Mandrake 8.2 rocks
Just saying hello to everybody. Played around with Mandrake a few years ago but got a renewed interest when I set up a home network and had to set up a firewall using mandrake firewall 7.2. (I have a broadband connection). Brought it all back to me... decided that I should check out what is happening and get an up to date distro on my PC... I have a dual processored PIII 1000 with a gig of ram which is now booting between Win XP Pro and Mandrake 8.2. She fairly flys with Mandrake... never could get the full potential out of the hardware as I could never get it to run properly on both processors... when I loaded 8.2 it hiccupped at first and gave me a fault saying only one CPU was working... however after a reboot it worked fine. I have a couple of Unix workstations on my home network. A Sun Ultra 5 with Solaris 8 and an SGI indy with IRIX 6.2 (just in case anybody at all is interested).

Re: [newbie] LAN and COX cable modem
Hi I have a LAN set up. I use a netgear hub and reguler cables with RJ45 connectors. I think the hardest thing I found was getting up to speed on firewalling and once I understood the basics of proxy and TCP/IP I was away. I have a Sun Solaris box and that was a right pain as for some reason it put the wrong details in /etc/hosts and I had to change the permissions and get some vi action going on it and about 5 other files!

Not that nuisance value couldn't be of some practical use, provided the security admin doesn't think it's a substitute for safeguarding passwords. The rationale is you only allow a certain set of users to have execute permission for su. This gives another layer of security, as only members of the wheel group would be able to even attempt to run su. The wheel group would be made up of SA's who would understand proper security procedures with both thier own password and system or network passwords. So breaking into one of their accounts should be harder than a typical user. One cannot have his own copy of su. su is completly worthless without the +s bit set. Only root can set that bit. So your own copy of su would do nothing even if you knew the root password. At most you'd be able to su to yourself. Give it a try on any unix system... Or maybe it's to prevent *inadvertant* rather than malicious damage? Something like: People in our group might find out the root pword and be tempted to su to quick-fix some difficulty they're having, then they might break something and we wouldn't know who was responsible, so we'll just remove the temptation? I guess that makes a certain amount of sense, but it's not terribly flattering to your coworkers.

From what I've observed on this and a couple other lists that the packages are rearranged on the boxed sets differently from the download ISO's. I find it hard to belive that CD1 (or even 2 for that matter) should differ across packs, but I only have the download edition this time around and can't confirm this. Just check out an ftp mirror. Example: mirrors.secsup.org/Mandrake/8.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/ both the xinetd and xinetd-ipv6 packages are there. Download the one you want and install away. -- Cheers dg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] /Net unmount at shutdown failing 8.2MDK
Lately, using 8.2, I have had a problem shutting down. The message refers to the mounting of /Net. Or more correctly the un mounting. Since this is in the shutdown and is a hard hang I am forced to re boot using the power off switch. Resulting in a file systems check up on re boot. Anybody got any ideas. Thank you in advance.

Re: [newbie] - inetd.conf file?
Actually, this has nothing to do with the version of the kernel you are running--it has to do with the version of the distro you are running. Inetd was replaced by xinetd in Mandrake 7.2, relevant files include /etc/xinetd.conf, and the directory /etc/xinetd.d/ .

Re: [newbie] deny access to su
I'm not saying that it's the best way to do things, but they did ask if it was possible It's much better to have users you trust on your box then to have ones you don't. Actually, the below is only part of the answerthere is something in the shells that can be done to ignore any executables under a user directory, for example...I've never actually done it, but I've been on servers that were set up that way.

Not that nuisance value couldn't be of some practical use, provided the security admin doesn't think it's a substitute for safeguarding passwords. Or maybe it's to prevent *inadvertant* rather than malicious damage? Something like: People in our group might find out the root pword and be tempted to su to quick-fix some difficulty they're having, then they might break something and we wouldn't know who was responsible, so we'll just remove the temptation? I guess that makes a certain amount of sense, but it's not terribly flattering to your coworkers. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] - inetd.conf file?
Actually, sounds like the xinetd rpm isn't installed Try 'rpm -qa | grep xinet' and let us know what pops up.

What would stop the opponent from transferring a copy of su from another machine? hmm ok ok ok what about this. ;oP this gets better, how about moving the su executable to a dedicated directory and denying to other users permission to acces or list that dir? for example something like this. mkdir /bin/SU mv /bin/su /bin/SU/su and then add an alias system-wide alias su /bin/SU/su so if the directory /bin/SU is locked for certain people, they would get no access?
