  Dipende da come intendi masterizzare.
  Mi spiego (o almeno tento):
  Se intendi copiare un cd (copia la volo) da cd-rom a masterizzatore hai
  bisogno che entrambi vengano emulati scsi (tranne un eccezione ma che
  adesso non mi viene in mente).

 Gia' che ci siamo... come si masterizza al volo? E' possibile farlo da
 shell? Ci sono howto da leggere?
 Ho l'emulazione scsi su entrambi i dispositivi, ma non ho ancora fatto
 esperimenti perche' non so da che parte iniziare...

Sinceramente non ho mai masterizzato con comandi da shell (ebbene si, sono 
pigro). Comunque devi vedere gli how-to che riguardano cd-record e cdrdao.
Un'altra possibilità e di lanciare un programma con interfaccia grafica 
(gcombust - x-cd-roast o altri, ad esempio) direttamente da shell, fare tutti 
i passi per masterizzare al volo e vedere nella shell la sintassi che applica 
per le operazioni (questi programmi grafici non fanno altro che richiamare 
cd-record e simili) - così hai una rispondenza diretta tra i quello che 
vuoi fare impostandolo con la gui e i relativi comandi a livello di shell.

[newbie-it] Samsung - l'arcano...

2002-10-26 Thread Arwan
Finalmente riesco a stampare. Ho trovato stanotte perche' non andava: io in 
genere stampo a 300 dpi, e con quella risoluzione li' non c'e' verso di farla 
andare. A 600, invece, funziona benissimo.
Non so se l'ho gia' chiesto ma... come imposto per default la stampa di due 
fogli su una pagina sola? E soprattutto, come dico alla stampante che voglio 
i fogli in qualita' _bozza_? Sotto win$ i driver mi permettono di farlo, ma 
qui... ho spulciato sul file .ppd, ma non ho trovato nulla di interessante (a

 No niente del genere (ma Dreamweaver e' in effetti un grande programma).

Io sto usando con successo Dreamweaver 4 sotto la mia Mdk 9.0 utilizzando la 
versione di Wine fornita con la distro. Direi che funziona piuttosto bene a 
parte piccole cose comunque ovviabili - ad esempio non riesco ad usare le 
funzionalità ftp di DW, ma chissene, per quello mi appoggio a gFTP.

E' una gran cosa, da quando lo faccio non sono più costretto a ribootare la 
macchina in Winz quando devo mettere mani alle mie pagine web...

 solo la parte riguardante la scheda agp (copincollata dal
 file che mi fa funzionare la scheda agp s3 da sola; anche
 i monitors sono uguali), ma non funziona, anzi mi dà
 errore e non parte il modalità grafica

Driver  savage
VendorName  S3
BoardName   Savage/IX-MV
BusID   PCI:1:1:0

 è possibile invece (e mi sarebbe molto più utile dello

 accade sul server x?

si, è un'opzione sperimentale del kernel,
che non ho mai provato, però..

  ? Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome
Hercules graphics  adapter in your system acting as a
second head ( = video card). You  will then be able to use
two monitors with your Linux system. Do not say Y here if
your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the
normal VGA driver will handle it.This driver is also
available as a module ( = code which can be inserted and

 devi dire su quale bus sono collegate le schede

 si, è un'opzione sperimentale del kernel,

solo che non so come impostarla.

   ? Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome
 Hercules graphics  adapter in your system acting as a
 second head ( = video card). You  will then be able to use
 two monitors with your Linux system. Do not say Y here if
 your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the
 normal VGA driver will handle it.This driver is also
 available as a module ( = code which can be inserted and
 removed from the running kernel whenever you want).  The
 module will be called mdacon.o. If you want to compile it
 as  a module, say M here and read

[newbie-it] Programma per scaricare pagine collegate dal Web

Cari amici della lista,
sono ancora vivo nonostante la sound blaster che continua a non funzionare in

Re: [newbie] SLIGHT CORRECTION what does it want . . . and why?

2002-10-26 Thread bascule
your parttition scheme has changed and suddenly X can't find /home?
not really a surprise unless of course /home is on the same drive as /
you will need to edit /etc/fstab to change all references to hdd* to hdb*
if you're burner has been detected by hardrake and installed then you will see 
lines in /etc/fstab with hdd in them but they will also have references to 
cdrom in them - leave these alone,
to edit /etc/fstab you will need to logon as root at the command prompt
when you get  root prompt type:
vi /etc/fstab
press return and you should be editing the fstab file, using your cursor keys 
you should be able to move around (unless somehow your vim config is shot), 
using the simplest possible i commands move the cursor to where you wnat to 
edit, press the 'insert' key, notice that 'insert' is now displayed at the 
bottom of the screen, use the backspace key to delete the offending text and 
type the correct text, press the esc. key press shift-; in order to get : at 
the bottom of the screen then press wq and return and if all has gone well 
you should have edited fstab, if your vim config is shot then you will have 
to read the docs for it which don't exist on my system so i can't help you 
there!
i suggest practing with hese vi commands by typing at a prompt
vi test
this will create a file called test in the directory you are in and you can 
delete it after, there are other vi commands but i'm not expert so i don't 
want to steer you wrong, what i've described should work

[newbie] Permissions

2002-10-26 Thread Jordan Elver
Hi,
I have a partition on my drive which is purely for all my mp3s, downloads etc.
The partition is FAT32 so that I can access it from Windoze too. The drive is 
automatically mounted on boot as root with full permisions on everything. I 
assume full permisions as it is FAT32 not ext2 etc? 

Although I can copy stuff to the partition as any user, it complains about not 
being able to change the permissions of the file I am copying. Is there 
anyway that I can mount the partition as the user I normally use? Is that a 
good idea?

Thanks for any help,
Jord

none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0

Your comment on how you made a new icon and used 'floppy device' makes me 
wonder why you did that instead of picking 'zip'. You must be using an 
internal zip drive siince your installation sees it as an internal ATAPI zip. 
The internals that I have seen come with an extra jumper settingthat allows 
them to be seen by the BIOS as an ATAPI Floppy Drive. Were you looking to 
maintain that 'look-n-feel' on your Desktop? Mine is an external through the 
parallel port, so it shows up as a SCSI device. One thing that I just did 
that wasn't done before I last posted was to check off permissions for 
execute on the drive icon. That now makes one-click access without mounting 
possible for the zip drive.

I checked the icon properties for the CD-ROM on the Desktop. 'exec' is 
checked off for root, user and others, yet I cannot open a CD without first 
mounting it. So, what makes a CD mount differently than a floppy or zip 
drive? Can you tell by looking at my fstab, and if so, is there a change to 
be made to make it so that I do not have to invoke the mount command, as with 
the floppy and zip drives?

[newbie] blocking popup windows using Guidescope or Junkbusters

2002-10-26 Thread Steve Jeppesen
Hello list,
I am curious if anybody is using either of these programs to block
popups on a firewall/router? 

I am currently using MD8.2 as a firewall/router to share our cable
connection with clients running MD 9.0, Win98se2 and WinMe and would
like to know if anybody has any prefs or things to watch out for when
installing and setting up either of those programs.

My goal is to set up either of these programs on the firewall/router and
have it block popups for all the clients.

Is there anything else out there that someone would recommend over these
programs?

TIA

[newbie] More Sound Issues in M9

2002-10-26 Thread Ed Halter
Greetings all.

This is somewhat related to the recent sound in only 20 out of 4 
speakers thread.

Like that thread's originator, I'm running Mandrake 9, with the ALSA 
sound driver, on a SB Live card. In addition, neither aumix nor Kmix 
seem able to get all 4 of my speakers working in ALSA, though extensive 
fiddling with them got surround working in OSS.

Presumably a competent mixer could solve this for me, and I've 
downloaded the gamix tarball (1.99.p13), but there I run into a 
different problem, one I've noticed for several programs: when running 
./configure, the script eventually stops on the following:

checking for libasound headers version = 0.5.0... not present.
configure: error: Sufficiently new version of libasound not found.

I get the exact same problem trying to configure the alsa-xmms plugin 
for XMMS (0.9.5), except there it's version = 0.9.0 instead of 0.5.0.

Running locate libasound returns

/usr/lib/libasound.so.2
/usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0

so the stuff is there. I tried delving into the configure scripts, but 
they're way above me -- ie, I can find where the error message gets 
printed, but I couldn't figure out exactly why it prints.

Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have any ideas? Could 
these programs just be looking for libasound in the wrong place?

Thanks in advance,

Ed Halter

[newbie] Drake 9 don't do video

2002-10-26 Thread Jimmy Montague
Hi, Everybody:

I downloaded the isos and burned them onto 3 CDs.
I booted from CD1 and ran the install per directions.
It's slick until comes time to configure the video/Xwindows environment. 
There I hit a stump. I've installed 4 times, now, and still can't get it 
right.

System is:

FIC VA503+ mobo
AMD K6-2/350 processor
256 mb Crucial RAM
2 Maxtor 13 gb hdds
1 generic 50x CD-ROM
1 fdd
Creative Ensoniqe sound
ATI 3D Rage Pro vid card with 8 mb RAM
Compaq V50 monitor
IBM model M keyboard (101 key, US English)
Logitech MouseMan PS2

Problem is that during the install, Xconfigurator sees the vid card as 
an ATI Mach 64 with a Utah chipset. Default config is 16 million 24-bit 
color, 800x600 res.

If I accept that and run a test, the screen goes black for about 30 
seconds and then comes back on. If I then tell it to load X at boot-up, 
what happens is that the system reboots and looks good until it loads X. 
Then the screen goes black and stays that way forever.

So I reinstall. Tell Xconfigurator that the vid card is really an ATI 
Rage Pro 3D. Then, no matter what config I set up (65k colors  16-bit, 
for example) the system returns an error when I test it.

The error is: You must specify a keyboard in XF86Config try to change 
some parameters. (sic)

So I boot to the command line as root. Issue a command xf86config. Run 
through all of THAT. At the end, it tells me it's going to save the 
configuration, and then it saves. When I tell it startx, I get
execve failed for /etc/x11/x (errno 2)
giving up
xinit: No such file or directory

After install no. 4, I'm whipped.

Ideas, anyone?

Thanks.

Nick

icons to show Zip drives, mounted and unmounted.

 I checked the icon properties for the CD-ROM on the Desktop. 'exec' is
 checked off for root, user and others, yet I cannot open a CD without first
 mounting it. So, what makes a CD mount differently than a floppy or zip
 drive? Can you tell by looking at my fstab, and if so, is there a change to
 be made to make it so that I do not have to invoke the mount command, as
 with the floppy and zip drives?

 T

Well, you've got your Zip working like you wanted so at least we're making 
progress! smile

Now about those CDROMs... I didn't do anything different than I did for my 
zip. I used the supermount disable command, deleted my CDROM icons, 
right-clicked and picked CDROM, then made sure they were pointing to the 
correct devices. Also, keep in mind that I have devfs disabled. See above, 
I'll put my CDROM entries below your fstab entry. It will be a little 
different because I use SCSI CDROMs here. (or after looking at your CDROM 
line it looks like you are using SCSI too?)

Look mine over, try deleting your CDROM icons and recreating them, etc, etc. 

HTH's! :-)

When you installed from scratch, did that include /home?  It's possible that if your 
user directory already existed and you reinstalled Mandrake (any linux) that if the 
/home/username is the same as your user id, you don't have permissions in it.  If you 
think this might be the case, as root you can type chown -R userid /home/userdirectory 
and that will reset the ownership of the home directory.

If that is not the case, if you create another user, can that user get into KDE?

[newbie] Mouse wheel / third button

2002-10-26 Thread dave
Hi, 
I've been trying to get my mouse (MS IntelliMouse v1.2A (PS/2)) wheel and 
third button working since I installed MDK9.0, but without any luck as of 
yet.

I understand there is the 'gpm' mouse driver running the non-X environment 
mouse, and the mouse for X is defined in XF86Config - but I can't figure out 
what I need to do in order to get the wheel and button working.

It's a pretty 'bog standard' old mouse, but solid and feels great to use, so 
i'd rather not give up on it just yet :)

Thanks for any suggestions,

In your /etc/fstab entry for the FAT32 partition add the option

RE: [newbie] Drake 9 don't do video

2002-10-26 Thread Franki
I make two consessions to getting video working..

1. Never do the test suggested in the install.. if it dies you sometimes
have to start again.
2. Never have the system initially boot straight into Xwindows. (at least
not straight after install.)

That way if there is a problem, you can use drakconf to fix it from the
console once the system
is fully installed and running.

its saved me many an install.

 One obvious difference between LM 7.x (where sound worked) and 8.x and 9.0 is 
 that 7.x used kernel 2.2 where as the more recent distros use 2.4.  Do you

 Login name would be the account that you have with them (tarazed) and your

Thanks for that link.  Will check it later.

It looks like the SMTP business is a red herring.  My connection is already

actually know what is doing the sending but I guess it has to be using SMTP.
No clues from the gtop display.

 When a GPL project is forked, it's usually for technical reasons. IP-Cop

 settle down for an entertaining, if expletive-laden, read.
 Many of us use Linux for moral, as well as technical, reasons. I chose not
 to use Smoothwall.
 That sounds really uptight and moral. Ah well.

All true and proven, but none the less Smoothwall is an excellent product, 
well documented and with no unnescesary frills.

Agreed Morell's attitude and diplomacy does remind me (very loudly) of a 
British Football hooligan but AFAIK IP-Cop stopped fairly short in it's own 
tracks and S-wall(latest version) is still to be gotten GPL-wise.

And because (you're right) it does sound uptight and moral: I don't have to

Re: [newbie] Advice-Setting up a dedicated server

2002-10-26 Thread - netmaniac -
 Thanks for the reply, netmaniac. I would be interested in you opinion as
 to whether I would be able to successfully be able to access my server
 from the outside, being that I do not have a static IP from my cable
 modem service provider and that I do not want to open up my firewall too
 much. I wouldn't even consider dial-in to the server through the modem.

Look at this site for DNS domain forwarders for dynamic IP's.
This allows you to have connections to your home system without you needing 
to
get your IP address to connect.
Like www.yourdomain.xxx or www.yourdomain.hostDNS.xxx will work for you.



you're welcome!
i'm using the cjb.net service for almost one year and it seems to work fine. 
Just go to www.cjb.net and fill the form with your data. Then, select to 
forward the address you have chosen to your machine's IP. It works very well 
with dynamic IPs.

Sorry for the misunderstanding:  my suggestions was that you are already

Nick,

I'm running the same chipset (according to the setup in 9.0).  Do don't
say what OS you ran on this machine before..or what resolution or color
depth.  Without that info, it looks like your card handles the default
settings, but your monitor is choking on them.  I'd suggest dropping
back to 800x600 at 16-bit and see if it will work.  You need to find a
setting that works with your monitor, then you can experiment with the
color depth and resolution to get optimal display.

If you are doing the setup manually, you might also check the frequency
that is being used with the monitor...a freq setting that is too high
(or too low) could be a show-stopper, too.

The default for my card (ATI mach64 Utah) and monitor (Optiquest Q55)
worked fine...XFree 4.2.1, 2D (I also have only 8MB onboard vid ram) and
1024x768, but my monitor will handle the 24-bit color depth.

You don't mount the device to play music CDs.  Have you tried kscd?  (K Menu 
 Multimedia  Sound  KsCD).  If it can't find the device you may need to 
edit ~/.kde/share/config/kscdrc and put the correct device in there.  Note 
that if you're using scsi emulation for your CD-ROM/CD-RW drive it may be 
something like:

CDDevice=/dev/scdX
where X is the 0, 1 or whatever.

[newbie] Installing 9.0 over NFS

2002-10-26 Thread Brian Parish
I have a couple of 9.0 installations purring away happily now and think
it's about time to stop using the CD's and start installing across the
network.

I gather that the way to do this is to copy the contents of the ISO's to
an exported directory, dd the network image to a floppy, configure
something on that floppy to point it at the NFS export, then just boot
with it.  The bit I'm unclear about is the configure something on that
floppy part.  It seems to be glossed over with words to the effect of
adjust the syslinux.cfg file to reflect your network in all the
guides I have found so far.

Can someone point me at the complete idiot's guide version?  I think all
I need is an example.

The error is: You must specify a keyboard in XF86Config try to change
some parameters. (sic)

So I boot to the command line as root. Issue a command xf86config. Run
through all of THAT. At the end, it tells me it's going to save the
configuration, and then it saves. When I tell it startx, I get
execve failed for /etc/x11/x (errno 2)
giving up
xinit: No such file or directory

After install no. 4, I'm whipped.

Ideas, anyone?

Thanks.

Mach 64 Utah drivers are correct. I use the same card along with 
Xfree 4.2.1. It may be choking on your monitor. Try using generic 
settings. I am using 1024x768  70 and 800x600 at 24 as final. Works 
perfect

You use Xfree 4.2.1 on a generic monitor -- but do you set Xfree to 3d 
or 2d?

Been there. Done that. Three times now.

Same result. It doesn't work.

More suggestions, anyone?

Thanks

Nick,

I'm running the same chipset (according to the setup in 9.0).  Do don't
say what OS you ran on this machine before..or what resolution or color
depth.  Without that info, it looks like your card handles the default
settings, but your monitor is choking on them.  I'd suggest dropping
back to 800x600 at 16-bit and see if it will work.  You need to find a
setting that works with your monitor, then you can experiment with the
color depth and resolution to get optimal display.

If you are doing the setup manually, you might also check the frequency
that is being used with the monitor...a freq setting that is too high
(or too low) could be a show-stopper, too.

The default for my card (ATI mach64 Utah) and monitor (Optiquest Q55)
worked fine...XFree 4.2.1, 2D (I also have only 8MB onboard vid ram) and
1024x768, but my monitor will handle the 24-bit color depth.

Erik:

I tried EVERY ATI driver in Drake 9. None of them work with this card.

The card is a 3D Rage Pro. Drake 9 HAS no driver for that card listed, 
and the default (Utah) driver doesn't work.
That monitor and vid card worked fine with a SuSE 7.3 distro for six 
months, before I installed Drake 9. I had them running at 1024x768, 16 
million colors, etc. That card and that monitor have worked with DOS and 
Win 3.x, with Win 95, 98, ME and 2k, with Corel Linux and with SuSE. 
They don't work with Drake 9 -- go figure what's at fault.

Using Drake 9, as I said above, I tried every ATI driver in the 
selection. None worked. I got refresh specs off the Web for that monitor 
and tried plugging them into generic monitor configurations in Drake 
9. It didn't work.

But gee. I swapped the ATI 3D Rage Pro vid card for a Hercules 
Terminator 128 3D and everything works just fine. The monitor monitors 
and the accelerator accelerates. I say Drake 9 DOES do video, but not 
with an ATI 3D Rage Pro vid card.

Nick.

RE: [newbie] VNC

2002-10-26 Thread Stefano POGLIANI
Derek,

thank a lot for the great hint (and explanation)!
A small question: isn't it possible to:

1.  start vncserver AT BOOT TIME ?
2.  start vncserver without a specific user ? [i.e. having it to display
the Linux Login screen ]

Thanks a lot in advance. Best regards

[newbie] Drake 9 don't do video

2002-10-26 Thread Nick Adams
Hello, Everyone.

This is to let you know that I solved the vid card problem by swapping vid 
cards. I'm content with the way things are at this point. Everything is fine.  
Problem solved.

Thank you all for your kind responses to what are undoubtedly some pretty dumb 
questions. I appreciate it.

And now, as far as I'm concerned, this thread is dead.

Thanks again.

Nick Adams
