[newbie-it] 1.link simbolico 2. permessi
c'è qualcuno che ha la pazienza di spiegare ad un testone: 1. come si fa a creare un link simbolico? Sto provando a far passare il lettore cdrom come scsi per la copia di cd al volo. 2. sempre per il motivo di cui sopra ho modificato il liloconf ed il fastab, ora anche come root, non riesco più ad accedere al masterizzatore - non ho più i permessi. Come si fa a modificare i permessi? 3. cosa mi consigliate di leggere per imparare qualcosa sulla configurazione di linuccio? Grazie. Ciao a tutti. n.b. ma c'è qualche problema nell'accedere al db della lista? io non ci riesco più! _ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

Se a qualcuno può essere di ausilio ho inserito un nuovo articolo sulla configurazione degli scanner Epson USB sul mio sito: http://linuxmandrake.too.it Un saluto alla lista.

Ti suggerisco per quando dovrai scegliere: -Annotati i varii dati: modem, scheda audio, scheda video soprattutto. verifica (magari su questa lista anche) se qualcuno li ha gia' funzionanti. -cerca il sito linux-laptop (con google lo trovi) e da un occhiata a come hanno fatto quelli che hanno gia' messo linux su quel portatile.

Non vorrei che mdk veda lo hub come scannerpossibile? In effetti ci potrebbe essere un qualche problema di gestione. Non so se la presenza di altri dispositivi usb possano confondere le acque. Non è che possiedi una scheda TV? A me dava problemi perché SANE la vedeva come primo dispositivo di acquisizione immagini. Questo mi succedeva con un vecchio PC. Su quello attuale ho tolto la scheda TV. Per risolvere il problema, io avevo dato SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=128 scanimage -L La prima parte la dovrai cambiare avendo un mustek usb e non parallelo. Vedi la documentazione. Al limite dovrebbe bastare scanimage -L. Poi, ho preso il nome-del-mio-scanner che mi era venuto tra gli output del programma e l'ho assegnato con export SANE_DEFAULT_DEVICE=nome-del-mio-scanner e lo scanner è stato indirizzato correttamente. Visto che funzionava ho messo l'export in /etc/profile per evitare di ripeterlo tutte le volte. Maggiori informazioni in http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/docu.html Non ho provato a vedere cosa succede impostando il suid a xsane ??? cos'è suid? Se imposti il suid di un esequibile, chiunque lo esegua lo fa come se fosse il proprietario del programma. Quindi se il proprietario è root, il suid è impostato, e tu hai il permesso di eseguirlo, quando tu lanci il programma è come se lo lanciasse root e quindi il programma può accedere a tutte le risorse del sistema, anche a quelle precluse ad un utente normale. ciao, Andrea
Re: [newbie-it] Boot lento:-(
.. Bè, un modo per sapere cosa succede ci sarebbe, basta che tu lanci l'avvio con linux-nonfb (che stà semplicemente per non frame buffer) e vedi tutte le informazioni e i relativi tempi. Altrimenti, sostituisci quiet con noquiet nelle opzioni del loader. Oltre alla barra di scorrimento, ti appariranno anche i messaggi di sistema e potrai vedere dove si inceppa. Probabilmente, l'avvio di un servizio a cui non corrispondono le risorse necessarie. Ad esempio gli fai lanciare NFS e non c'è una rete locale. Lui cerca la lan, non la trova e perde tempo ;) ciao, andrea

Oltre a quello che ti ha già risposto Luken Shiro, posso aggiungere che, raramente, però può succedere, non c'è compatibilità con le librerie più recenti. In quel caso, conviene cercarsi i sorgenti del programma in formato rpm. In genere si chiamano pippo.src.rpm. Si compilano facilmente (se hai tutto quello che serve) con un $ rpm --rebuild pippo.src.rpm e poi installi il pippo-tuo.rpm che è stato compilato espressamente per le librerie che possiedi sul tuo sistema. ciao, andrea

[newbie] Integerateed Development environment.
Hi, Can somebody share some wisdom on which to use, Xbasic, KDE IDE or other integrated development environment for C/C++ primarily. I looked up the KDE sites and it appears to my newbie eyes that the KDE IDE is optimized for producing software very narrowly targeted at the KDE platform. I do not know if this targetting will constitute a trap. I found no info on Xbasic. Can somebody share some wisdom about Xbasic, KDE IDE and other open source IDE. I am also interested in perl. To my dismay I found out that the Open Perl IDE is for the Redmond platform! Thanx, Seedkum Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Brian hello my friend,
If you insist on keeping OpenOffice, that's OK, but if
you want to give SO 6 another try,I have and I can
send it to you, a small batch file that you put it one
level up from the dir where you have new fonts to be
installed in X and executes the mkfontdir and assign
commands automatically, also it creates a
fonts.dir.txt file that the Xfont server can use to
assign the fonts to itself. Using this and following
the method I pointed previously you can get SO6 to run
without no problems and with Winfonts installed and
working perfectly well. I can assure it's not buggy at
all. I have given it very hard times writing my wife's
documents(she's a journalist) and faced no problem at
all, {I had to transform them later in M$Word format,
put graphics in it, many pages,etc...}, so trust me
it's worth it. After getting it to work its rock solid

Just install vncsercer on the machine and connect to screen:1 or whatever. You do need a telnet or ssh connection to the machine to start it the first time (passwords and all that) and/or if this machine shuts-down often a shell script to start the vncserver after booting.

Re: [newbie] I can't get telnet or ktelnet to work
You may not have the telnet program installed on your machine. At the command line, type rpm -qa | grep telnet (search for the string telnet in the list of all rpm packages). If nothing is returned, you don't have the telnet program installed. I have the download version of 8.2. The telnet program is on the first CD in the package telnet-client-krb5-1.2.2-17mdk.i586.rpm. Install that. Granted, using ssh is preferred because it is more secure than telnet. If the server you are connecting to supports it, it's better to log in with ssh (the openssh-clients package is also on the first CD). But if you really want to use telnet, that's how to do it. - Kathy On Sat, 2002-05-18 at 17:26, Joe Davidson wrote: I have an out-of-the-box 8.2 installation on Intel.

Re: [newbie] hardware requirements (more)
Mandrake has produced i386 versions for previous releases, and I suppose they may do so for 8.2, but it gets harder each time. In theory there's nothing to stop you compiling the whole distribution from source, but of course doing that on a 486 would take forever, not to mention a larger hard disk than a 486 would have. As for Star Office, Carroll's right; in fact she's understating. Running it on aything less than a 300MHz processor and 128MB RAM would try most people's patience, and to get the kind of speed you'd be used to with, say, MS Office, you probably want twice that. 100MHz and 32MB is possible if you're patient, but don't use SO5.2, which was the slowest, most bloated thing they ever produced. OpenOffice 1.0 should work, though you might consider making coffee while it loads. If you also have a newer, faster computer, you might consider setting up your 486 as dumb-but-not-totally-moronic terminal. OpenOffice uses a kind of client-server model, so I think you could have your main installation on your big fast machine, then install the client-side stuff on your 486. Sir Robin On Sun, 2002-05-19 at 19:10, Carroll Grigsby wrote: Alex: Take a look at RedHat -- they supported 486's through 7.1, and may still do so in their current version (7.3). I'm still dubious about StarOffice; version 6.0 requires a Pentium with at least 64 mb RAM. You didn't mention your hard drive. IIRC, 486's were quite limited (540 mb maximum?). That is probably sufficient for a text-only installation, but it will take some discipline. I'm sorry to be a wet blanket, and perhaps you'll succeed, but it's going to take a lot of effort on your part. I had a 486DX4-120 system for a long time, and it was the most stable I've ever had -- even though I was running Windows 3.11 on it.

The 8.2 PowerPack carton specifies that Pentium, Pentium compatibles or AMD processors are required. This is because the binary code contains instructions that a 486 cannot understand and therefore cannot execute. As suggested below, there are some Linux distributions that will run on a 486, but Mandrake dropped support for them several years ago. You've got another problem, too. While it is possible to run in text mode with only 32 mb of RAM, you will not be able to run any graphical programs, particularly Star Office. I believe that it is possible to work with as little as 64 mb, although Mandrake recommends 128 mb. -- cmg On Saturday 18 May 2002 05:30 pm, you wrote: Does anyone confirm that?

Re: [newbie] Unanswered 8.1 questions.
It is nothing personal Josef. Sometimes questions are not answered simply because no one knows the answer. In that case the discussion board at www.mandrakeuser.org is a good place to try. As for your questions -- I can tell you that koffice.1.1-7mdk which shipped with 8.1 is broken. The print preview in kword does not work. All the text appears scrunched up. There was a fix koffice-1.1.1 which was never officially released by Mandrake, but was available on Texstars download site. Unfortunately Tex has deleted all his 8.1 rpms in favour of 8.2 ones. Mandrake 8.2 ships with koffice-2.0.1 You could try installing that, but I suspect you will run into problems with libpng2/libpng3 (You can always put the old rpm back again if it is no good) Or you could try mailing Texstar and asking nicely if he still keeps a copy of koffice-1.1.1 for 8.1 (www.pclinuxonline.com) Alternatively upgrading to 8.2 will fix it.

I put in a new video card today and wonder if anyone has heard of harddrake From XFree86's pages, nvidia, 4.2.0: Support (accelerated) for the Riva 128, 128ZX, TNT, TNT2 (Ultra, Vanta, M64), GeForce (DDR, 256), Quadro, GeForce2 (GTS, Ultra, MX), GeForce3, and Quadro2 is provided by the nv driver. I thought I read in a recent changelog they supported up to the gf4 ti 4200. So I figured the only difference in the all those 4xxx is the clockspeed, that the others'd be okay. And it works good actually. Except for that one little hiccup. That and it's not identified fully. It's called: VGA compatible controller: PCI device 10de:0251 (nVidia Corporation) (rev 162) in /proc/pci and harddrake calls it UnKnown Card. :) So, yeah, I knew it wasn't really supported fully. But I'm kinda used to that. :) So it could be the Gef4 isn't handled yet? Have you tried the 'nv' driver, or are you usin the 'nvidia' drivers? and with what kernel? I haven't been able to get nvidia's to work properly with a Gef2 with kernels newer than 8.2's 2.4.18-6mdk. Even a -13mdk I compiled myself (with gcc 2.9.6). What error mesg's, if any, do you get runnin 'harddrake' from a terminal? running 'startx' from level 3? I suspect a XFree/Gef4 problem, or a kernel/Gef4/nvidia snafu. If the card will work with the 'nv' driver, then it's got to be another nvidia drivers problem. Naw, I didn't try the nv driver. I already had nvidia installed and I put the new card in and didn't do anything except comment out the video ram in conf. But no doubt you've hit the nail on the head. That's about as close as we can get without more errors being reported. But I looked through many many logs yesterday and could find nothing out of the ordinary. I always start harddrake, mcc, everything from console - and the only error it shot was about not finding the floppy module. I'm running 2.4.18-7mdk, the XFree that came with 8.2 I think, and the 2808 drivers. Yeah, startx from level 3. (Well, 'kde3' from level 3 most of the time). :) You wouldn't know the exact video ram of a 128mb card or how I could find it, do you? That's what I was looking around for when I discovered the harddrake hiccup. Then I redid the drivers in hopes it would help. Didn't. But since I can get it back by hitting alt F10, I guess I don't really have much of a problem - no more than I use harddrake anyway. Anyway, thank you for your input Tom.

Re: [newbie] DivX Player
... and player? What player do you mean? There are probably about 15 different player for Linux for DivX films, and I can't seem to find any reference to divxPlayer anywhere? Sorry, I thought I had been clear on this but I guess not. The player I'm speaking of is the The Playa, referred to in filenames as divxPlayer. You can find it on the official DivX website http://www.divx.com This is also where I got the codec for Linux from. Sounds like the film you are trying to open is not in actual fact a DivX film. I'm guessing that this is another file to the one you opened when testing the player? If it is the same one, then my guess is that the player is very buggy. As far as the file goes, I did not open the player and the file in the same command. When I tested it, I opened the player and then clicked the button to open a file, and chose the divx movie I wanted to view. At that point it worked just fine. When I went to actually WATCH a movie in it however, I opened the player, just like before, and was not able to click any buttons to open any movie, as it closed almost immediately after. Frankly, I know how to tell the difference between file formats, and I know how to compile just fine, but I like the official DivX player from divx.com. It ought to work, it HAS worked, and I know for a fact it works as one of my friends installed it on his Gentoo installation with no problems. My question really concerns the error message. I know the problem lies in there. There are two files in /usr/local/bin, one is called, simply, divxPlayer. The contents are as follows: #!/bin/sh BINDIR=/usr/local/bin DIVX_SKIN_DIR=/usr/local/divxPlayer/Skins; export DIVX_SKIN_DIR /usr/local/bin/divxPlayer.bin $ I believe the problem may lie somewhere in this script file. There is also a divxPlayer.bin in /usr/local/bin. If anyone would like to see that I can send it but I don't want to mail an attachement to the whole list. Thanks for your help!

Re: [newbie] DivX Player - Solution found
No problem, just glad to help (at the cost of too many e-mails LOL). I'm really impressed with their player, although it does not support divx.subtitle files. I still choose mplayer as it's file support is huge, and it's stable. There is a huge amount of documentation on their site, and included in their tarballs. I do have RPM's self made for my mandrake, but it would be so much harder for you to install those as half of my system if running later versions of so many progams. I suggest to give it a shot. If you *only* need to play divX files, then maybe stick with divxplayer at it saves you a lot of effort for Mplayer, however if you have other formats you need to play (the list is too much to mention), go for mplayer.

How can I set it up to where it will show ports as stealthed as in 8.0? or how can I be surt it's actually secure once setup? thanks for any help Mike McNeese Mike, In order to show up as stealth you must be dropping the packets as opposed to rejecting them. Check your /etc/Bastille/bastille-firewall.cfg file to see what your policies are doing with the packets.

Re: [newbie] Integerateed Development environment.
Hi, Unfortunately I don't know any comparison article about IDEs. As I told you, I am very newbie. Actually I am a college student who started learning C some months ago. I didn't know any IDE for linux, so I posted a message here and people told me to try Rhide, Anjuta, K-Develop and Xfce. I downloaded all of them and found that Anjuta suited better for me. One of the guys told me that K-Develop is quite powerful and it seemed so, but it had so many functions that I didn't need at that time neither did I know what they were for. Well, regardless each IDE's peculiarities, I think that it is more a taste issue, you find something that you like and start using it. In my case, I found Anjuta easier to use, because the programs I've written so far are very simple : ) Sorry, I think I can't help so much.

I do not know if this targetting will constitute a trap. I found no info on Xbasic. Can somebody share some wisdom about Xbasic, KDE IDE and other open source IDE. I am also interested in perl.
