In base alle vigenti regole di netiquette (contenute in documenti ufficiali di R.F.C., mai abbastanza pubblicizzati, ma il cui precetto e' universalmente accolto nel contesto informatico-telematico come usi giuridicamente vincolanti, anche perche' spesso richiamati tra l'altro nei contratti di fornitura di accesso internet stilati dagli ISP), e' previsto, tra le altre cose: a) che la citazione del messaggio a cui si risponde sia limitata al minimo indispensabile per far comprendere l'argomento e il significato della risposta stessa ed eventuali riferimenti sottintesi, e in ogni caso _NON_ sia integrale; b) che la citazione di cui al punto a) sia collocata _PRIMA_ della risposta, in modo da permette a chiunque di comprendere con immediatezza il senso del discorso. Prevenendo una astrattamente possibile quanto forse remota obiezione, in relazione al punto b) mi pregio di fare rispettosamente notare che, anche se certi c.d. programmi per la lettura delle email (per discutibili scelte dei loro fautori) non si conformano agli standard ufficiali, non significa automaticamente che questi ultimi abbiano cessato di avere valore (nel senso che l'aumentata diffusione tra la gente di un comportamento illecito non porta a trasformarlo magicamente in consentito, ne' di certo lo giustifica.)

[newbie-it] Domanda su RedHat per Roberto
Ciao Roberto so che hai gia avuto modo di provare la Redhat 7.3 e volevo chiederti se questa versione che tu hai usato era la originale della distribuzione. Se si, mi puoi dire se hai provato diskdruid e se questo funziona solo in lettura ? Ci tengo molto sapere questo perchè nella mia versione che presi dalla rivista internet news funziona appunto solo in lettura e non mi permette di usarlo. DiskDruid di RedHat l'ho potuto utilizzare e apprezzare solo nella fase d' intallazione del sistema operativo.

Attualmente il kernel più recente è il 2.4.19, per cui non vedo la necessità, a meno che le novità non interessino specifiche del tuo hardware per te basilari, di un aggiornamento. Piuttosto potrebbe esserti utile modifcare il kernel che attualmente usi per adattarlo alla macchina su cui gira, ed ovviamente alle tue esigenze. Può essere un utile esercizio per approfondire la tua conoscenza sul sistema e sul suo funzionamento.

Era un programmino fatto da uno studente che girava su l'elaboratore dell'universita', non vi era tastiera per dare comandi ma solo un pannello con degli interuttori. Il gioco consisteva in una astronavina fatta con pochi caratteri che doveva evitare di essere distrutta da un gruppo di asteroidi. Divenne un passatempo popolare tra gli studenti del laboratorio di informatica, e molti vollero sapere come era stato realizzato. Lo studente che aveva scritto il programma mise a disposizione di tutti il listato permettendo a chi avessa avuto voglia di farne delle modifiche. Cosi' molti vi misero le mani, e alcuni aggiunsero particolari complessi (come ad esempio l'aggiunta di un sole che esercitava attrazione gravitazionale sia sullìastronavina sia sugli asteroidi, che non avevano piu un moto puraente lineare..) Be' quelle persone furono i pionieri del movimento hacker Io penso che voglio sapere e capire come funziona sia il software che l'hardware che uso, perche' nego il principio per cui la conoscenza deva essere di pochi, sono un newbie e non so (ancora) forzare un sistema, ma mi sento un hacker, e il desiderio di sapere come proteggere la macchina su cui lavoro dai cracker (questo il termine peri i pirati) mi portera' per forza a conoscere come attaccare quello che voglio difendere. Il figlio del mio capo un giorno ha copiato da qualche sito uno script che se mandato in allegato di posta a outlook faceva reboottare il sistema, il mio capo mi ha chiesto il mio indirizzo mail di casa e lo ha dato a suo figlio erche' voleva farmi vedere quanto era bravo il pupo... Il giorno dopo e' arrivato tutto soddisfatto in ufficio chiedendomi se avevo visto che bravo hacker fosse suo figlio La mia risposta non gli e' piaciuta molto: a) a casa non uso outlook per cui ha funzionato b) il figlio era solo un lamer, usava qualcosa per danneggiare senza nemmeno chiedersi come funzionasse. c) se suo figlio continuava a mandare questi giochetti tramite il suo indirizzo mail molto presto avrebbe dovuto spiegarlo alla polizia postale quanto era bravo. Il fatto e' che troppo spesso le parole vengono spese senza la conoscenza del significato, per poi stupirsi della difficolt' di comprensione con gli altri... Chiedo scusa per la logorria W gli hacker !! abbasso i lamer, i cracker, e gli stronzi in generale P.S.: essendo piu' volte presente la parola chiave hacker questa mail e tutte quelle che ne conterranno quotatura saranno controllate dai programmini del FBI e NSA, meditate gente, meditate. -- Best regards, Osolocomailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Do You Yahoo!?

I don't believe so. When you install a Mandrake pre-compiled
kernel the rpm (use 'rpm -ivh' ) it creates the proper links in /boot
for you, besides generating a new initrd and edit/run lilo to add the
new kernel. When I roll my own, I edit Makefile and change
EXTRAVERSION = new_indentifier, but also I uncomment the line
# export INSTALL_PATH=/boot (ie, remove the # ). Then a last
command of 'make install' in the compile proccess also will make the
proper links in /boot, make initrd, edit/run lilo, etc. for you.
I use this /etc/bashrc alias to check,
alias bootlinks='ll /boot/{initrd,vmlinuz,System.map}*'
Typing 'bootlinks' then, at least initrd and vmlinuz should point to
the right kernels (the current active links will be color hi-lited).
My alias doesn't change anything, just displays the current state of
important links in /boot. Until I boot the new kernel, the important
links, initrd and vmlinuz point to the correct kernel(s), but
System.map doesn't. After rebooting to the new kernel, all three
then correctly point to the right kernel for all installed kernels.

[newbie] rpm database
Hi, I tried installing some rpm packages (kde3) from the command line. It failed on dependencies - seems that rpm thinks I have nothing installed! I tried to run rpm --initdb It didn't help. When I typed rpm -qa It showed nothing. the rpm program I use is the one that came with the distribution (8.2). I later installed these packages with the software manager, and it worked. I guess that the software manager is just a front end to the same rpm, so I probably have some problems with the parameters, but I have no idea what it is. More generally, if I'm correct that these graphical tools are just front end to command line tools, is it possible to make them print what are the commands they perform?

RE: [newbie] Apache DocumentRoot
Actually, in 8.2, you change the DocumentRoot Setting at the top of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf not commonhttpd.conf . The next thing you have to do, is in commonhttpd.conf, you need to change this set of lines: # # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to. # Directory /var/www/html # # This may also be None, All, or any combination of Indexes, # Includes, FollowSymLinks, ExecCGI, or MultiViews. # # Note that MultiViews must be named *explicitly* --- Options All # doesn't give it to you. # Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews # # This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can # override. Can also be All, or any combination of Options, FileInfo, # AuthConfig, and Limit # AllowOverride All # # Controls who can get stuff from this server. # Order allow,deny Allow from all /Directory If the directory does not have one of the following files (by default), you will get an access forbidden error (since the default configuration disallows directory browsing) DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.php3 index.shtml index.cgi index.pl index.htm Default.htm default.htm Of course, after making any changes you must restart apache (by doing /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart without the quotes) These are all guesses as to what's causing the problem. Since you've not posted what's in your error_log file (in /var/log/httpd), it's difficult to say whether it is a permissions problem or an apache configuration problem. If you could send something to the list as to what is showing up in your error_log file (a few lines, preferably), I'm sure you'll get much more specific feedback as to what the problem is.

Re: [newbie] Windows Games - QT
Both Xine and mplayer came out with versions last week that play QuickTime movies better than Apple's native player (which also works better with X-over/fake_windows, than under Billy's Winwoes ;) Video This intrigues me, as I haven't found quicktime support yet. I went to the mplayer site, downloaded the current tar (20020707) file, compiled and installed it. All I can get is the audio of a .mov file, no video. I get diagnostics about an unsupported video codec, and I tried the suggestions (update ~/.mplayer/codecs.conf) and read docs on codecs, but no Quicktime. I pulled up a .mov off of apple.com/quicktime just for testing (movie trailer of the Two Towers). Did yours work out of the box? Did you CVS ?

You can't use fdisk to get rid of Linux partitions, though. That will have to be with one of the commercial utilities if you want to do it from Windows. I think, though, that I got rid of a linux partition in the past by using a linux boot disk and using the linux fdisk utility to do it. using the install from the cd could do this as well. Sometimes you can get rid of ext2 partitions with either the dos fdisk or w2k, but it's not easy and depends upon whether you had a single /root partition,or multiple linux partitions, and whether you have any other partitions of the fat32/nt type after those linux partitons. I don't recommend it unless you know what you are doing. Basically , these partiton utilities do not asign drive letters to linux partitions and therefore although they are there and the utilities knows they are there, they do not allow you to delete then straight. You have to remove all those partitions that come after the linux partition, then and only then, windblows partitons tools will recover the lost space, you then remake the whole of the remaining drive as one partition assign it a drive letter and format it, you can then remove it all and remake to your final desired configuration. I've done this many times before I bought PM. I do not recommend you do it. You want Partition Magic. It's the best , and can do this without destroying data on other partitons . If you don't have PM, your are really left with the partition tools on your mandrake install disc.You will have to run CD1 again, trundle through the unwanted preliminaries until you get to the partition tools , it can delete anything, I think you can remake the partitions if you still want them and format in vfat(fats32) ,is that true, I'm not sure, possibly not, I have never done that, so probably not.Perhaps someone could comment. Anyway once the ext2 partitions are gone, and if you were not able to format in vfat , you can use the windblows utilities to format them and assign new drive letters. If you are able to format in mandrake windows will detect the new vfat partitions on bootup and assign drive letters automatically.

Re: [newbie] CDROM access
It is not a problem. Audio CDs are not file systems. They cannot be 'mounted' like a data CD can. Clicking on the CD icon will give the message you describe. If you want to browse an audio Cd either open the CD player kscd , or else open konqueror file manager and click on the item in the left hand pane labelled 'Special' (for konq 2.2) or the bottom icon in the toolbar between the two panes (for Konq 3.0) If you are online at the time you will then see a track list. I do not recommend playing the CD from here however because konq will copy the tracks to a temorary directory before playing them. derek On Sunday 07 Jul 2002 9:56 pm, Filipe wrote: I recently installed MDK 8.2.

Re: [newbie] System.map
On Sat, 06 Jul 2002 16:50, Damian G wrote: snip ok, so in order to use my new kernel i've got to rename my new System.map to something like System.map2.4.28mine and change that link to make it point to my file. now, my question is: how am i supposed to keep both kernels? i've checked lilo.conf and the boot sections seem to have no reference to these files... what do i have to add in order to make lilo choose the corresponding system.map whenever i choose a kernel to boot? Took a quick look at the link that Charles provided (http://www.linuxmafia.com/~rick/linux-info/systemmap.html) which explains the answers to your questions. This is how I interpreted it: 1) System.map is a file containing the kernel symbol info. 2) System.map has versioning info (eg. System.map-2.4.18-16mdk or System.map-2.4.18-20mdk). 3) If a kernel oops occurs it is intercepted by klogd (a kernel logging daemon) which performs name-address resolution. 4) klogd uses the System.map file to perform the address resolution and looks for this file in 3 places in the following order: (i) /boot/System.map (ii) /System.map (iii) /usr/src/linux/System.map So if you have two System.map files: /boot/System.map-2.4.18mdk /boot/System.map-2.4.18mine and you boot with your new kernel image /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.28mine then klogd will first look in the /boot dir for the matching System.map file (ie. System.map-2.4.18mine). Still, I usually remove the old link in /boot and create a new one pointing to the new System.map-[new one] before I boot my new kernel. Same with the vmlinuz link - I delete the old and create a new link. Its also safer to put the actual kernel image filename in /etc/lilo.conf rather than link, eg. image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18mine and NOT: image=/boot/vmlinuz Sharrea -- oxymoron: Microsoft Works Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Hi all and Charles, Confession time here and a possible lesson for anyone else reading this having weird problems. Due to my computer being in a custom made tower, I have been doing some work on it lately and it seems I slightly dislodged the HDD lead from the mobo!!! It allowed booting up [just] but maybe the heat build-up had some effect by the end of the day causing the lead to lift enough to break the connection on a few data lines. Sorry to have wasted everyone's bandwidth with this problem. Charles, I added that line as you said there were issues with AMD and 8.2 as it may avoid problems I might have encountered further down the line. Many thanks for your suggestion . regards magnet.

[newbie] No Sound (again)
Mdk 8.20 - motherboard with Sound and Video onboard (PCchips M590). After installation, I tried to listen to an Audio CD but have no sound. I can hear the standard sound when Linux begins but nothing from CD. The CD drive and cable are ok because I can listen CD at Win98 and from Dos. I can even listen to tracks from Konqueror file manager but not from CD. (they are tranfered to HD then played by Noatun). I think the problem is the driver. The board uses CMI8330 (ISA) sound driver. At Cmedia site I discovered that the oldest linux driver is CMI8338 (last digit is different). They do not have linux driver for CMI8330. However, the system installed the driver CMI8338 which is PCI. Maybe, this is the reason for not having sound from CD drive. Well, the sound manual, that came with motherboard CD, informs that sound chipset is full compatible with Soundblaster 16 / PRO / 2.0. So, I think that I can uninstall CMI8338 driver and install SB16 driver. I found three SB16 files already saved at HD (they sould be the driver files): snd-card-sb16.o.gz snd-sb16-csp.o.gz snd-sb16-dsp.o.gz The problem is that I don't know how to do it. I went to harddrake hardlist sound board mark CMD 8338 C3D (first line) and click over button Run configuration tool but nothing happens. How can I change the sound driver ?? Thanks for the help PS: At other devices line (those not recognized) there are other three lines: two for sound (CMD 8338 C3D) and other for PCI bridge driver. Filipe Dutra [EMAIL PROTECTED]

built kernel-xxx.mdk.rpms would have it uncommented ... never looked.
I use this /etc/bashrc alias to check,
alias bootlinks='ll /boot/{initrd,vmlinuz,System.map}*'
Typing 'bootlinks' then, at least initrd and vmlinuz should point
to the right kernels (the current active links will be color
hi-lited). My alias doesn't change anything, just displays the
current state of important links in /boot. Until I boot the new
kernel, the important links, initrd and vmlinuz point to the
correct kernel(s), but System.map doesn't
On my system after I do the 'make install', neither 3 of the files
points to the current working kernel. They all point to the new
kernel that has not been rebooted yet. I think I must miss
understand what you are saying!!
No, I just didn't say it very well ;) In every compile I can
remember, vmlinuz and initrd point to the new (freshly compiled)
kernel, even tho I haven't booted it for the first time yet. This is
fine, since the other vmlinuz and initrd links in /boot point to
their matching (existing) kernel(s). Only System.map doesn't point
to the new kernel till I boot it for the first time.
So, bottom line, I believe if after you compile a new kernel, just
make sure there's vmlinuz and initrd links in /boot that point to the
new kernel, don't worry about System.map

[newbie] Just replaced video card and and CMOS battery
Hi All, Using Mandrake 8.1 Sorry for the long post I just replaced my CMOS battery and, as expected, received a CMOS error message. Pressed enter to return to CMOS default. Since I had to remove my video and sound cards to replace the battery I thought that I would upgrade my video card at the same time. Replaced my Matrox Mystique video card with a Radeon 7000 PCI card. Upon boot up, I noticed that the checking for new hardware flashed an error message but I could not read it. Then, after the computer finished booting up, the monitor started flashing just before the GUI to enter in the user and password. I then receive dthe following message: mandrake linux release 8.1 (vitamin) for i586 kernel 2.4.8-26mdk on an i586 / TTY1 INIT: Id x respawning too fast: = disabled for five minutes.
