Re: [newbie-it] Icone
In un altro luogo e in un altro tempo, luigi esclamo': vorrei aggiungere delle icone al mio kde per ritrovarmele poi nel database del menudrake.. come cavolo posso fare dal momento che ci sono icone ovunque? dove sono quelle la? Le icone sono in formato .png e .xpm, le puoi ritrovare con un semplice locate. e dove ne posso reperire di nuove? Se intendi di nuove nuove, non so, fai una ricerca in rete. Ad esempio ho installato openoffice, ho creato il link ma la sua icona non la vedo eppure nella sua cartella ci sono tutte Con il comando sfoglia li riesco a dargliele ma non nel menudrake e comunque poi mi piacerebbe raccoglierle tutte Se non ricordo male, menudrake permette di cambiare (mi pare facendo clic sul disegno dell'icona) l'icona utilizzata da una voce del menu; dovresti pero' fornirgli il percorso di directory preciso, al posto di quello predefinito. Eventualmente, se utilizzi KDE o Gnome, usa l'editor dei menu (che di sicuro ti permettono questo). Se vuoi averle tutte insieme potresti copiare quelle nella directory dove sono conservate quelle tradizionali (a partire credo da /usr/share/... ecc..) -- L.U. #210970 L.M. #98222 S.U. #12583 K 2.4.18-puro * Slackware 8.1-rc2

Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com The one I can report good luck with is the ASUS A7N266-VM It shares part of main memory for video, but the NForce Drivers work very well indeed (off the Mandrake Commercial 8.2 CD) and I have tried everything but the digital sound. It can play DVDs, play music, etc, but the network adapter on-board is inaccessible from linux, and I have no idea about the DOlby Digital Sound (whether supported or not) because I won't spring for speakers. You can find the ASUS board cheaply at www.directron.com. I think I paid less than $90 including shipping. I equipped it with 512M of DDR memory and I still have two open memory slots. I tossed in a 1G Duron processor and put two hdds in there to make 8.2 run from a RAID0 configuration and most who have seen it claim it outperforms their Athlon XP 2200 machines (and it may well do so for disk access). Balanced against those pluses are some really large minuses. The driver is proprietary and closed source, so this machine has its own DMZ on my Local Area network with special firewalling rules to keep it from talking to my other machines, and the embedded network card absolutely does not work in linux, so I had to drop in a cheap add-in card. Now the Jetway 830CF available with processor from http://www.surpluscomputers.com also works very well indeed and uses the slightly less expensive SDRAM rather than DDR. It has three slots so 1.5G of main memory is easy to achieve, and at a price of about $126 with 1G Duron, it is hard to beat. Special care is required for installing sound, but the on-board video is the same as the SiS630 and does offer acceleration. The sound is activated by editing /etc/modules.conf post-install changing alias sound-slot-0 snd-crd-i8x0_audio above pcm-snd-oss to the single line alias sound i810_audio Civileme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

If the problem persists after the upgrade then you'll need to downgrade the cdda2wav from the 1.11-0.a21.1.1 version to the 1.10-2 version (the one on the 8.1 cd's.).

Re: [newbie] cylinders, sectors and heads trouble: Solved
On Monday 10 June 2002 01:26, you wrote: As I said previously, I had problems with my western digital hard drive. fdisk complained: Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary Previously, I had tried to put this information in the header of lilo.conf: install=/boot/boot.b vga=normal keytable=/boot/us.klt lba32 disk=/dev/hda bios=0x81 disk=/dev/hde bios=0x80 sectors = 53 heads = 16 cylinders = 77545 but that change never seemed to take effect so I deleted those 3 lines. Now I added a parameter in the append line in /etc/lilo.conf: append=hde=77545,16,63 and I believe this has the effect that I so much desired. At least fdisk does not complain any more. Who knows why this was needed? Maybe the hardware supplies the incorrect values, maybe the bios supplies the incorrect values. Or, perhaps, because there is already confusion about the bios code for /dev/hda and /dev/hde [see bios=0x81 and bios=0x80 above], the numbers for sectors and heads on /dev/hde are the numbers for a different drive! Narfi. Well I find that interesting, I do not see why Western Digital hardrives should work any different from anyone else's hard drives, as far as size and allocation of h s c is concerned. I have the same MoBo as you except I have RAID but I turn it off in Bios, so any explanation for this apparent quirk is something I want to know about as much as you. Have you ever had trouble getting this WD hard drive recognised on any other MoBo. As far as the other problem goes , the not ending on cylinder boundaryis concerned it is almost certainly something to do with using mixed partition tools, my experience is that they don't go together well. However overall, I think it just means left as it is you will have a small pece of hardrive going to waste that's all, When this started to happen to me I bought Partition Magic and started completely again, and touch wood I have not had any problems so far. It does not matter if you choose to format with different formatting tools so long as all the partitions are created by the one partition tool.However PM does a very though job of checking your drive for bad sectors,marking them, and formatting, if you choose so to do . It is slow, but I fully accept that , why not let it do it's job carefully and precisely, you just set up the programme , go away for a while and come back an hour or so later and all is done beautifully. You can then get on and install operating systems. John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] Installing Mandrake 8.1 on 486 with 32Mb RAM
Mandrake 8.1 is supposed to be installable with 32Mb RAM, in text mode.
I have a 486, and upgraded its memory to 32Mb specifically so I could
install Mandrake. (The computer can't handle more than 32Mb.)
I boot from the floppy and install from the CD-ROM. It recognizes the
non-standard Sony CD-ROM 31a (thank you, thank you, Mandrake!), but then
it says: not enough RAM for RAMdisk! (Installation exiting abnormally.)
Can anyone help me do a minimum text install for Mandrake in 32Mb RAM?
I have a 500Mb hard drive (will happily upgrade if need be).
I currently have RedHat Linux 5.1 installed, but I want to be able to use
Mandrake's hardware autodetection. Specifically, I want it to detect the
Ethernet card; right now my Linux box isn't hooked up to the Internet.

Does this actually mean it's all there, you know, encription, conversion, etc etc, the bits that really do matter and make the programme all it is,because it seems a small download for a tar file and for there to be everything that you might conceiveably want.

Well, I had used Xcdroast under 8.1 and was very happy with it there, and under 8.2, I used it to burn files to CD's with no probs. either. It was just when I went to duplicate a CD that it fell down. I've got an Adaptec SCSI card, running a Toshiba DVD and a Plextor CDRW. Xcdroast finds both, has them in correct positions on the SCSI chain, but will not read any CD in my DVD drive. It always reports that its an empty CDRW. Gcombust, under this same setup works fine. I even deleted Xcdroasts conf files and started over just in case. Still no go - and this is as root, or with the user I had setup... Don't forget, this same exact setup worked just fine under 8.1 so I dunno... I'm glad its working for you though, I did like it! :-) Hi, Guess I just got lucky with a hardware combination that the software likes. I previously had an older Mitsumi burner,had a lot of problems with it. I like the nice frontend for cdlabelgen that Gcombust has. Haven't used it for burning though.

Re: [newbie] cylinders, sectors and heads trouble: Solved
On Monday 10 June 2002 05:53, you wrote: On Monday 10 June 2002 01:26, you wrote: As I said previously, I had problems with my western digital hard drive. fdisk complained: Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary Previously, I had tried to put this information in the header of lilo.conf: install=/boot/boot.b vga=normal keytable=/boot/us.klt lba32 disk=/dev/hda bios=0x81 disk=/dev/hde bios=0x80 sectors = 53 heads = 16 cylinders = 77545 but that change never seemed to take effect so I deleted those 3 lines. Now I added a parameter in the append line in /etc/lilo.conf: append=hde=77545,16,63 and I believe this has the effect that I so much desired. At least fdisk does not complain any more. Who knows why this was needed? Maybe the hardware supplies the incorrect values, maybe the bios supplies the incorrect values. Or, perhaps, because there is already confusion about the bios code for /dev/hda and /dev/hde [see bios=0x81 and bios=0x80 above], the numbers for sectors and heads on /dev/hde are the numbers for a different drive! Narfi. Well I find that interesting, I do not see why Western Digital hardrives should work any different from anyone else's hard drives, as far as size and allocation of h s c is concerned. I don't think it does. It's just a piece of junk as we have often discussed here on the list, that's all. [See Civileme's posts for that] so any explanation for this apparent quirk is something I want to know about as much as you. See my explanations above and the large disk howto, e.g. sections 14.1 and 14.2. file:///usr/share/doc/HOWTO/HTML/en/Large-Disk-HOWTO-14.html As far as the other problem goes , the not ending on cylinder boundaryis concerned it is almost certainly something to do with using mixed partition tools, my experience is that they don't go There was just the one problem: I created all my partitions on my old motherboard with c, s, h = (x, y, z). When I moved it to my new motherboard, Mandrake didn't think it was (x, y, z) any more. Thus, I pretty soon figured out that I just wanted the c, s, h to be read again as (x, y, z) and I had to figure out how to change that. This doesn't have anything to do with what partitioning tool I've been using. All my partitions were consistent with (x, y, z) and before creating any new partitions, I had to make sure that the partitioning software saw the c, s, h as (x, y, z). This is what the line append=hde=77545,16,63 in my /etc/lilo.conf does. Lessons to be learnt from this: After you have partitioned your hard drive, always print out and store the c, h, s of your hard drive that was used during the partioning. When you want to partition a second time, make sure that the partitioning software is using this same c, h, s so that your new partitions become compatible with the old ones. I have not read any warnings or indications about disk damage occurring if you do not do this and you are only using linux on your harddrive and the hard drive is using lba32 and the bios supports lba32. I simply tend to be cautious when it comes to my hard drives. [As an added note: if you are sharing the drive with windows then it is imperative that the c, h, s that is seen from Windows must be compatible with the partitioning of the hard drive. Otherwise you risk disk corruption.] Best, Narfi. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I've just spent 2 hours reading all the bumf on Mplayer website, and I must say there is so much of it it is hard to take it all in in one hit. I know this problem, but on the other hand, at least it is documented fully ;-) From my experience there are always other features that one does not come accross until needed, other formats and so on. It seems to me leaving aside esotyeric things like skins, there is only the one MPlayer-0.90pre5.tar.bz file to compile and install. Does this actually mean it's all there, you know, encription, conversion, etc etc, the bits that really do matter and make the programme all it is,because it seems a small download for a tar file and for there to be everything that you might conceiveably want. As I say I'm not particularly interested in sky blue pink graphics but I do want all the really important encription conversion stuff,(eg. DVD to DivX) and preferably in a gui guise. If all goes well you need just two packages.. the Win32 files and the latest Mplayer. Unpack the win32 files into /usr/lib/win32, and then unpack, compile and install Mplayer. To compile Mplayer to use DVD encryption, you may first need to symlink /dev/dvd to your cdrom (actually DVD, but..). This way while compiling MPlayer it'll detect /dev/dvd and compile it in. To be able to use the GUI you will have to add the --enable-gui flag to the compile part, as well as any other added options that are not normally detected in the ./configure. To be able to compile in the GUI you will need libgtk+1.2-devel, XFree86-devel, and probably a couple more (mplayer ./configure should warn you if you are missing something) I suggest to install those 2 devel files, and configure mplayer with: ./configure --enable-gui and see what it turns up with. At the end of compiling it will give you a list of to be supported formats and options. Reading through the output of the above command will tell you exactly what it's doing, and if it found anything or not. To see if it's supporting DVD playback, look for the line: Checking for DVD support (libmpdvdkit) ... yes Checking for GUI ... yes If you have these two, then you seem to be

More seriously, I'm rather suspicious of distros which say you can just
install everything automatically and not have to worry about how to
partition your disk etc. Probably works out of the box 90% of the time,
and leaves the other 10% with an unusable Linux partition, and maybe a
fried Windows partition as well. Maybe I'm suffering from brand

Re: [newbie] Mplayer message query
OK I'm about to make my first attemp, a couple of questions though, I've got around to unpacking the tar ball and found the Readme which is for once quite comprehensible , and in there it mentions , Step1 : Install FFmpeg libavcodec, I take it libavcodec is already there inside MPlayer-0.90pre5, looks like it to me? yes, it is. any official release of MPlayer includes libavcodec. those instructions only apply if you are downloading a CVS snapshot. Step5: unpack and stuff screen display fonts /usr/local/share/mplayer/font, I have file: ISO-8859-1 and 2, I don't need to name them ?, just use them ans they come ? only needed if you use subtitle files with your movies.. i never used this feature so far. but i suppose you don't need to change the names. Step6: Install gui skin, Any good skins to recommend ? two would be enough for me, there are loads to choose from. and stuff in /usr/local/share/mplayer/skin/default/(skin name) woops, wait. sking go into /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/(skinname) the 'default' subfolder is used by the 'default' skin only. well, i use default, proton, and plastic. but remember there's no accounting for taste. :o) ( and this means i have: /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/default/ /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/proton/ /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/plastic/ directories. ) then alter mplayer.conf (doesn't say where this will be ?) , skin=(skin name) John -- /home/(your user)/.mplayer/mplayer.conf or, if you prefer, /usr/local/share/mplayer/mplayer.conf probably the file won't be there at first, since the install doesn't create it. just make a textfile and put gui=yes skin=(skinname) in it. you may also find you would like to add other parammeters as well, later.

[newbie] PPP/PPPOE and on-line woes
Folks, I hope someone has a solution to what may be a ridiculously simple problem. I'm using 8.1 on a Compaq Presario 1250 laptop, and to make efficient use of my PCMCIA slot, I bought a combined modem/network PCMCIA card (Lynksys). When I installed Linux on the laptop, I initially set the system to access the web through ADSL, using the pppoe software. Lately, however, I've been traveling and have needed to use the modem on the road. When I try to log on using the Gnome ppp program, I get the right noises from the modem, I get a connection (as evidenced by the noises and the flashing lights on the modem), but my browser acts as though there's no connection. I try to ping a site and get nothing. Using Mandrake's network configuration utility, the results are worse -- a quick connection that gets bumped off almost as soon as it's made, then endless automatic repeats trying to reconnect. At least Gnome gets me on once and keeps me there until I click on the disconnect button. Interestingly, on my Gkrellm monitor, the ppp0 window comes up when I'm on ADSL but not when I connect with the modem, even though ppp0 shows up in the Gnome dialer window. Using the ifconfig command, I find a ppp0 text block while using ADSL, but not when using the modem. Also, when I do a simple route command with ADSL running, I get two ppp0 entries, but get none when I'm merely trying to run the modem. I suspect the fix is simple, but so far it's eluded me!

RE: [newbie] (Drivers, open sourced or not.) was :Connexant HSF and HCF modems
hi Michael.. The purists need to become realists.. quote It is NOT Mandrakes lack of support for the hardware that needs to be addressed, but the hardware manufacturers lack of support for linux. As linux use expands hardware supporters will be forced to address this problem. /quote Companies like conexant and nvidia spend a ton of money devoloping their drivers.. they are actually half the product they sell, proof is how much better an nvidia performs when the first out nvidia driver is replaced by an optimised one, the performance can be increased by 25 percent.. should they give that product source code to open source so ATI can use any innovations in it to improve their own drivers? (and vice versa) ditto with connexant and lucent.. now I agree that in a perfect world, it would all be open source, but I also understand these hardware companies whose only dabbling in software is to write device drivers wanting to keep this stuff under their hat,, (I also think that in a perfect world, winmodems wouldn't exist either, but thats an arguement for another day. :-) I guess a work around for mandrake would be to offer a 4th CD for download that contains all the free (but not open source) drivers, and when the install program asks what cd's you have, and you tick the 4th CD box, it installs the drivers for you.. that way the purists can have their open source only distro and the rest of us can have hardware that works to its full potential. (which they sort of do with the powerpack, but like I said, they charge for that privledge.. so as far as mandrake are concerned, why should they give it away with the download edition,, it lessens the value of the powerpack in their minds.) I very much doubt nvidia will ever release the full source code of their latest drivers, the best I think we can hope for is they give use the source to an old obsolete driver, which is still not optimiom performance...(even that is abit of a pipe dream) Another sad fact, is that as CPU's get faster, manufacturers are going to pass more and more stuff over to the main CPU, so software will become more important and this issue will reappear again and again. incidently, I have panel beaten my cars and also rebuilt both engines and trannies.. so thats not an appropriate analogy for me.. but I understand your point.. but the simple point of the matter is this.. 1. Manufacturers will be more willing to release drivers for linux if they do not need to release the source of their creation. (and the end point is that a closed source driver that allows use of certain hardware is better then no driver at all. Proof of which is the numer of people on this list using the Nvidia drivers) 2. End users don't care about purity or principles or the concieved risk that a driver could cause stability issues.. they just want their hardware to work.. 3. As with all things in life, this has to be a compromise.. the hardware guys, and the open source guys need to work on a compromise license for drivers.. (like for example the source has been examined by open source guys that have signed a non disclosure agreement to not release details of the source they have viewed, they sign off that there is nothing undesired in the driver that could compromise security/stability/functionality and the driver is accepted. its the only way really to get companies like cannon, epson, HP, Lucent, conexant, Nvidia, ATI etc etc to jump wholly on board and fully release drivers.. the other thing about open source drivers is this.. drivers can give alot of infomation about the hardware they are for.. if you had the source to the latest nvidia driver, you could work out pretty much exactly how a geoforce4 does its thing.. now if you think they are going to make that info freely available, you might as well go and get your head read.. the only drivers that get released open source by manufacturers are those that don't give away any info about the hardware, or the hardare is obsolete as a money maker, or the hardware is generic and there is no benefit in keeping the technology secret. The result is that mainboards like Nforce will always be faster on a winblows machine because of optimised drivers. and the gap may end up widening, because those companies will advocate the use of the OS, that doesn't dictate that they release the software part of their hardware to open scrutiny. Its sad, but true, before you critisize a company for only releasing binary drivers, think about it form their point of view, and also, think about the many companies that don't get involved in linux drivers at all.. and be thankful that some of them at least had the vision to release ANY linux drivers at all, closed source or open. regards Frank -Original Message- From: Michael Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, 9 June 2002 8:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Connexant HSF and HCF modems..LINmodems?

I now have Mandrake 8.2 installed and operational. The reason for the quotes around operational is that I have yet to actually do anything productive using Linux. In part that is because much of what I do with my computer is e-mail and I have yet to find a more than marginally useful e-mail client. I've tried K-Mail, Mozilla mail, Opera mail, Pine, and found them all to be useless. Pine may have actually been damaging to my system. Since installing it on the weekend I can not get Mozilla to work under windows and I am unable to use the Calypso program I mentioned. I don't know that the installation of Pine had anything to do with these troubles but I would like to uninstall it from my system but can't figure out how. I seriously doubt that Pine could have messed up anything in Windows. I'm looking for a feature rich email client. One which I like in the windows environment is Calypso. The closer I could get to the functionality of Calypso the better. Any suggestions? I haven't used Calypso, so I'm not quite sure what you're after. Have you tried mutt, Sylpheed, Balsa or Evolution?

Re: [newbie] Installing Mandrake 8.1 on 486 with 32Mb RAM
Hi Ka Wai TAM
I think you are out on a challange / maybe getting over your head on
this installation.
The machine (you have in mind) would not performe very well for MDK
8.x - Why don't you get the MDK 7.x - If you have a reconable or
normal netcard it will be detected.
Even if you would succeed in installing MDK 8 on this machine, the
performance would not give the user any good impression of the
system.
