[newbie-it] Blocco totale sistema copiando da HD a Foppy o da CD a HD
Ciao a tutta la lista, mi sono iscritto per segnalare un problema che mi pare grave. Mi è sucesso diverse volte (più della metà) che, utilizzando il file manager di KDE 2.2, il computer mi si bloccasse completamente copiando un file dalla mia HOME al Floppy. Una volta sola, invece, copiando un file da CD ad HardDisk, il cd veniva letto a fatica poi si è bloccato. Ecco i passi che compio per riprodurre il problema: - accendo il PC e mi loggo (kdm), attendo che KDE finisca di caricare - inserisco un floppy e clicco sull'icona che ho sul Desktop, mi si apre Konqueror che mi mostra il contenuto del floppy - apro anche la mia home directory e clicco col dx su un file a caso, scelgo Copia dal menu - clicco col dx nella finestra del floppy e scelgo Incolla dal menu - si apre la finestra di copia in corso e prima ancora che la barra mostri un avanzamento il sistema si congela: # il puntatore non si muove # CTRL-ALT-BackSpace, CTRL-ALT-CANC e CTRL-ALT-F? non sbloccano la situazione # i led del floppy e del disco sono spenti - quindi resetto via hardware - controllando sul floppy il file c'è ma è di 0 Kb - se da xterm utilizzo cp il problema non si presenta Dati sistema: Mabndrake 8.2 Download Edition 3CD (Linux C) kdebase 1:2.2.2-93mdk kdelibs 3000:2.2.2-48mdk kernel 2.4.18.6mdk (supermount abilitato) Hardware: ECS K7S5A, Duron, 256MB SDRAM, HD Samsung UDMA100 Serve altro? ho fatto due volte l'installazione e il problema si è ripetuto.

[newbie] Yet again, how to mount all three iso images
Hi all! Once again, what is the exact syntax to mount all three iso images from mandrake 8.2 into one big file? I iunderstood that it's something like: mkdir /cdrom mount (and some option) iso-file, etc DO I have to issue the mount command three times (once for each file), or is there a way to mount all three at once?

Thanks, Michael well, to mount a ISO image on a directory, you do mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/file.iso /directory/to/mount of course you need to do it once for every iso you mount, but that doesn't mean it has to take more than one line. i think you can do mount ( blah blah parameters ) ; mount ( blah blah more parameters ) ; mount ( and so on ) uhmm.. or better yet, if you are going to use this frequently, you could make an alias .. like alias mntiso= mount -t iso9660 -o loop to make things faster.

I would heartily suggest at this point though that you thoroughly read the docs at the proftpd web site to get a good understanding of how it works and what's going on. this knowledge is important if you're going to run an FTP server and could, at some point, save your machine and it's data. you'll find attached to the message a copy of my current proftpd.conf to work off of. If you like, please feel free to modify it and use it on your server. please understand that you will have to modify it in order to suit the needs of your machine. that being said, here is the down and dirty setup proc.

(optional - but definately recomended) using linuxconf, add a new user named ftpadmin and set this users /home dir as /var/ftp. now you will need add user ftpadmin to the group ftpadmin. you can do so by clicking on the groups definition in Linuxconf. when you've created this user and apply the settings Linuxconf will want ask you about changing ownership of /var/ftp. do so Recursively. 3. create the folder /var/ftp/incoming. as stated before it's owner should be ftpadmin.ftpadmin. chmod this directory 3773. even if you choose not to allow uploading to your ftp server it's still good practive to have this folder present. 4. all folders under /var/ftp/pub including /pub should be chmod'd 755, while the files themselves should have the permissions of 644 and ALL be owned by ftpadmin.ftpadmin. 5. check the services file /etc/services and make sure that these lines are uncommented: ftp-data20/tcp ftp-data20/udp ftp 21/tcp ftp 21/udp these ports must be open in order for outside machines to connect to the ftp server. 6. now you're ready to start your server for the first time. one last check to make. if your proftpd.conf file is correctly configured save the file in /etc and issue this command in a terminal window as root user. service proftpd restart ENTER you should see a response similar to this in your terminal. Shutting down proftpd: [ OK ] Starting proftpd: [ OK ] if you recieve an error message of some sort, then check your /etc/proftpd.conf file to make sure that everything is correctly defined. remember to read the documentation from the proftpd site. there is a lot of good information contained there that will help you understand what's going on should you need to trouble-shoot your installation of proftpd.

RE: [newbie] A cheap home network to play with.
I don't know if this was answered or not, so I'll put my 10 cents in.. I tried this once.. the best I could achieve was to make both the outside systems see the PIII and vice versa, but the two outside machines could not see each other. I didn't play around with routing though, conceivably, setting some static routs may have fixed that.. the question you have to ask though, is why? hubs are really really cheap..

Re: [newbie] 8.2 install gone awry
Hi I've copied the patch numerous times and each time I try the install when it comes to the part where you partition the hard drive the floppy drive starts to work and it just works and works and nothing happens until I finally exit the install. What should the file type of the copied patch be? Windows saves it as a text file and I wonder if this is a problem.

RE: [newbie] 8.2 install gone awry
h, does it have the extension .pl ? or is it .pl.txt if its the later, thats your problem. also, if you open it in a windows txt editor like notepad, then you can be adding windows return characters to it.. when you save it, make sure you save it withouth the txt extension.. and make sure you don't open it in notepad. save it directly to the blank floppy, don't copy from your hard disk. (less chance of problems that way.) a .pl file is a perl script, which is essentially a text file.. windows sometimes makes wrong assumptions and can assume incorrectly that it should be a txt file.. (IE can be bad for that.) when you save it, make sure you have the bottom box in the save as dialog box set to *.* all files.. not txt.. just some thoughts. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Scott Wagner Sent: Tuesday, 4 June 2002 11:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] 8.2 install gone awry Hi I've copied the patch numerous times and each time I try the install when it comes to the part where you partition the hard drive the floppy drive starts to work and it just works and works and nothing happens until I finally exit the install.
