[newbie-it] Aliasing e Fonts
Mi è successa una cosa strana! Premetto che uso Gnome su Mdk8.2. Un giorno quando ho avviato il sistema ho notato che tutti i caratteri usati nei vari word-processor (Abiword, Staroffice...), nei browser (Mozilla, Galeon...) e in altre applicazioni vengono visualizzati molto male, dire scalettati e non ben definiti. Avete un'idea di cosa può essere successo? E di come risolverlo? Centra forse l'aliasing? Inoltre come posso rendere disponibili certi fonts per le applicazioni (importati da win) senza usare DrakeFont? Vi ringrazio, Pollo.

[newbie] network config
Hi all, I set up a lm8.2 server at home (using 192.168.0.0 range)and had it working ok. When I moved the box to its final location, I used netconf to change ip's to the 10.89 .0. range. My problem is that when I went back to netconf to alter the gateway address, I noticed that I now have eth0 eth1 eth2, all active and using the 192.198 .0.0 range. (btw, I only have one ethernet card installed) If I disable and change the settings, they always revert back to 192.168.0.0 2 questions... a. what could cause this..? b. what files does netconf modify? -- regards, Colin mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 5:20pm up 2 days, 5:00, 2 users, load average: 1.63, 1.19, 1.00 This must be Thursday.

[newbie] OpenOffice
I am trying to install Open Office 1.0 onto a ML8.2 system. Following directions at www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/instructions.html#linux, I unpacked the tar.gz file to /tmp, then, as root in /tmp install, ran ./install --prefix=/opt. This apparently in installed everything correctly to /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0/ The program apparently runs fine as root. However as a normal user, the program freezes shortly after completing the launch process. When I attempt to run either /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0/setup or /tmp/install/setup, either as root or as a normal user, the setup program returns OO is already installed, Would you like to repair? Doing so doesn't change this or any subsequent behaviors, running the setup program again leads to the same message. in following the OO installation directions, I see that the setup program is supposed to install ~1.4 Mb into my home directory. This was not done, either as root or normal user. I am able to run OO as a normal user if I change the suid bit on the program file, but this doesn't seem like a safe solution.

add the executable to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local so that the last line looks like this: /my/path/to/executable/my_executable be sure to put the on the end, so it returns the console to you.. if you don't, you might have problems. rc.local is run each time the system is booted.. so if you put the command there, it will run at boot. if you need to run it as a certain user and not root.. you can do that too. Here is an example: su - USERNAME -c /path/to/execeutable /dev/null 21 if you use that, the program will start as the user you put in place of USERNAME hope that serves you well. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Glenn Sent: Tuesday, 16 July 2002 6:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [newbie] Anybody running the distributed net client?

Hi all, Can anyone suggest a good TV card so I can record a program and save it to disk, much like a VCR? What software would be best for this? My system is: Gigabyte GA-7IXE4 mobo, Athlon 1.2GHz cpu, 256Mb ram and 80Gb HDD, SiS 8mb gfx card. Linux Mandrake 8.2 running. If anyone has such a setup running, I would appreciate hearing what you are using and how easy/hard it was to set up correctly. Many thanks magnet Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Posting Saga Resolved
I am posting this message so to let others know there is a solution available for those who have to deal with ISP's that are run by brain-dead morons. First a short background. I subscribed to both the newbie and expert lists at the beginning of May. On the 22nd of my ISP, a cable company who shall remain anonymous at this time, changed their mail systems from one outsourcing provider to another. The change over went smoothly, except I could no longer post to the Mandrake mailing lists. I contacted my ISP and explained the problem. It has been nearly two months and they still can not figure it out, even after I forwarded a e-mail from Charles Davant (Thanks Charles) Mandrake to them explaining that the reason I could not post was because my ISP does not have a reverse DNS entry setup for their smtp server. During my last conversation with their tech support, I was told they could not make that change because it might cause a problem for their other customers! I don't even want to tell you what my reaction to that statement was. I was about to give up and resign myself to only being able to read the mailing lists, when I decided to see if I could find an alternate mail service that offers pop3 services which I could use for the Mandrake mailing lists. A quick search on GOOGLE led me to www.myrealbox.com. It is a FREE mail service that supports POP3,IMAP and Web based mail with no advertising of any kind. It took me less than 5 minutes to setup an account and resubscribe to both lists using the myrealbox account. A quick addition to my Evolution configuration and I can now post. I don't feel like a second class citizen anymore!!! So if you can't post or have an ISP run by morons, check out them out. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The config in Kmail confuses me because there is a default account that seems partly installed but cannot be modified or removed. When I try to check email for my Earthink account I get 2 error msgs, one on top of the other. They are cryptic. They only say it didn't work. No clue what's wrong. I think one comes from that default pop account which is not and cannot be configured. The second seems to comes from the Earthlink account due to some mal-configuration that I haven't quite got right in that pop account. Suggestions? Maybe a sample of what is wanted at each of the setup dialogs? What's with the default pop account? Why is it there and why can't it be touched?. I dunno, you should be able to hi-lite the existing account and clk on 'Remove'. I vaugely remember with an older Kmail version (you should'a mentioned what Mandrake and Kmail versions you're using), that the account refused to 'remove'. So find your 'kmailrc' file, mine's /home/tom/.kde/share/config/kmailrc, and in that file, delete the account (ie, everything under [Account __]), with a text editor. Leave the other [...] sections alone, and save the edited file. Then back in Kmail, the default account will be gone, and you can add yours and choose pop. There's nothing real special about setting up an Earthlink mail account. As with most ISP's you'll need to specify a userID and password. Unlike the dialup config tho, don't preface your userID with 'ELN/' for mail (or news). Also, EL will probly refuse your mail unless you fill in your name, organization, and correct email address in Kmail's 'Identity' section. Tip: edit 'On %D, you wrote:' to 'On %D, %F wrote:' (without the 's) in the Composer | Phrases section, so when there's (several) replies to a post, we can still figure out who wrote what instead of wonder'n who 'you' is ;) -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Postfix listening on port 25
Thanks to all for the help Re: Network Security.

Things are working fine in respect to sending my mail but now I seem to have port 25 open. As I use fetchmail to retrieve my mail from my ISP I can't really see any need for postfix to be listening on this port. So does anyone know how I can go about disabling it.

Only the XFree drivers, which do not provide 3D accel, seem to work all the time.

Re: [newbie] OpenOffice
It sounds like you installed OpenOffice as a standalone app when you wanted to do it as a network app (and after the install, you would run setup as a user and it would copy some configuration files to your home directory). I believe you have to add -network to the install command line. Just incase, there should be a readme file in the directory you extracted OpenOffice into. Check it to make sure -network is correct. You want to look for something about a network install. On Tue, 16 Jul 2002 06:54:57 -0400 Paul Kaplan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am trying to install Open Office 1.0 onto a ML8.2 system.

RE: [newbie] problems with /etc/fstab
Here's another way to hang a system: 1. mount some nfs shares. 2. shut down one of the machines serving the nfs share without first unmounting it, and have a filemanager open to the remote filesystem 3. Now try to shut down the client machine. It will hang on unmounting the remote filesystem. (and now you learn to use alt-sysrq-r alt-sysrq-s and alt-sysrq-b) That's a good demonstration of one of the weaknesses of NFS. Unfortunately, for some of us, NFS is a necessary way of life. Imagine a system with a large central server (disk farm basically), feeding a network with 2,500 workstations, and over 5,000 registered servers. Each user must have access to any workstation, and have their home directory, and some data directories available. The only way to do that is that each of the clients is tied via NIS/NFS to the server. NIS serving the user names, and NFS mounting the home directories, and the data directories. NFS/NIS is a necessary evil. I'm not writing this looking for fixes. I've been running systems like that for years on AIX, and I'm just used to the headaches involved. I just brought it into the conversation because of the way civileme was dismissing NFS as to unstable to use. Boeing runs on NFS. As does Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, ATT Wireless, etc...

On Tuesday 16 July 2002 08:48 am, you wrote: Dear All, I am trying to burn my first CD with my brand new system (Athlon XP 1600+) on LM8.2. I have the Liteon cdrw and it is detected just fine. I did the test by erasing the disk first just to find out if that worked. It did. Then I started to get ready to set things up for recording some audio onto my disc and when I was doing that I got an error message that said: Gnometoaster failed to create its symbolic link area /home/marcia/tmp/gtoaster_cdfs, check to see if you have permission to create files. Does anyone know what I do now to get this working correctly. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thankyou. Sincerely, Marcia Marcia, this is maybe a two part problem, first: check your permissions in userdrake and make sure you have cdwriter as one of the groups. If not add by highlighting your user and then click edit (just in case you didn't know). Then if that doesn't fix it or if you haven't done this, go into gtoaster and click on preferences. On the tab called common which may be the first one up you will see a line called Temp Files , change what is in there to /home/marcia/tmp without the quotes and whith marcia replaced by whatever your user name is. Then at the ISO9660 tab at the bottom it shows ISO Temporary files, change that to /home/marcia/Burn again without the quotes and with your user name. Now that file Burn must be created in your home directory since it is not automagically made. ( I would do that first if you don't have one already). The last thing is, if you do not have the latest version (beta5) on the Gnome Toaster I would get it first as the mandrake rpm at http://gnometoaster.rulez.org/download.html#download install the beta5 as it works better and is faster. Once installed the above has to be done or redone as I recall. HTH -- Dennis M. linux user #180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] fstab (long post)
Hi All, In two previous posts I submitted the following. I only saw the first appear so I am resending both messages as one. Sorry for the long post I decided to put an old Creative DVD 2 X in a Mandrake 8.1 box along with a 32 X CD-ROM. Unfortunately, only the DVD (I think) is mounted although both the DVD and CD-ROM show up in Hardrake When I run kdc the DVD shows up as the block D device but it Hardrake it is a block C device. ( I hope that this is correct because I was using a friend's DSL connection to do massive updates) Anyway, if it isn't I hope at least this conveys the idea. I installed autofs to see if this would resolve the proble but to no avail. Civileme suggested that I forward my fstab and get rid of autofs Here is my fstab: /dev/hda1 / ext1 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hdd /mnt/cd rom auto auto user,isocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=850,ro,n oauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,isocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=85 0,noauto 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 How would I lose autofs?

[newbie] How to append files to a CD-R?
How can I add or append additional files to a CD-R onto which I have already recorded or burned just a few files? After reading volumes of messages on this list, plus the recommend HOWTO on this subject, I finally figured out how to burn a CD under Mandrake 8.1. It's regrettable that there seem to be so many extra hoops that Linux users have to jump through to get some of these very basic tasks to work. I still do not have either xcdroast or Gcombust working because they each require nuisance configuration steps. But I prefer command line operations, anyway . . . once I can finally get the correct syntax worked out. In this case, the most concise and helpful explanation came from Tom Brinkman, although even his required some interpretation and adjustment. Tom described his approach this way: 'bdcd' cd_image 'bacd' (in the dir where the wav's are) or 'biso' filename.iso alias bdcd=cdrecord -v -eject speed=8 dev=0,0 -data (need to make cd_image first, eg, 'mkisofs -r -o cd_image dir') alias biso=cdrecord -v -eject speed=8 dev=0,0 alias bacd=cdrecord -v -eject speed=8 dev=0,0 -pad -audio *.wav From Tom's examples, I derived the following two key lines which I put in a shell script that I named burncd mkisofs -r -o cdimage /home/joe/data cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,0 cdimage But I had to omit the word eject because I got this error message: cdrecord: No such file or directory. No read access for 'eject'. Can anyone explain why this error message and how to get eject to work? Also, would someone please explain why dev=0,0 works but dev=0,0,0 (which other examples use) does not work? In my shell script burncd I have actually built in some additional functions including variable input options and a log to automatically keep a record of all of the CD's I burn, etc. But it is really neat that those two simple lines are all that anyone really needs to burn a CD.

[newbie] Server Side Includes
Server Side Includes work only if the file is 'index.shtml'
i.e. I have 'index.shtml' which includes 'footer.shtml' at the bottom and
this works fine.
However, if the file has any other name is fails:
http://bunyip.apana.org.au/index.shtml
http://bunyip.apana.org.au/test.shtml
'test.shtml' is a straight copy of 'index.shtml' - same owner/group, same
permissions but the include does not work any more.
etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf contains:
---
AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
---
The above file is very close to default, and overall only a couple of
added virtualhost's have been added.
Any clues please?

to use the 'gcc' and 'make' commands in the terminal window. I have successfully managed to use gcc to debug, but am not able to use 'make'. based on the way you are trying to compile a single .c file, i' m not sure you really need make. to compile a .c file and get an executable just do a [user@localhost user]$ gcc -o outputfile source.c that will create the outputfile executable which you can then run simply by calling it: [user@localhost user]$ ./outputfile that should be enough to compile and run .c sources.
