Cosa devo fare? Grazie dell'attenzione Potrebbe dipendere da diverse cause. Puoi provare a vedere se nella console di Xine ti viene dato qualche messaggio che aiuti a capire, in ogni caso puoi provare a controllare un paio di cose: - Potrebbe dipendere dal plugin di output che xine utilizza; con man xine puoi controllare qual e' il parametro da indicargli da riga di comando, oppure puoi andare a modificare il file ~/.xine/config (se non ricordo male). C'e' anche una finestra di configurazione dalla gui che ti permette di modificare queste opzioni, ma io non ci sono riuscito! ;P ... all'avvio successivo tutto era dinuovo come prima... - Puoi anche verificare se Xine utilizza de rawdevices del tuo sistema, che dovrebbero velocizzare il tutto. Xine di default si appoggia a /dev/rdvd, che dovrebbe essere un link alla rawdevice del dvd. Purtroppo non ho la documentazione sott'occhio e non so dirti di piu' al momento. Ciao!

Re: [newbie-it] xine
se ti può servire una risposta semplice: penso significhi che stai tentando di vedere un dvd criptato (quasi tutti i dvd del commercio) senza le librerie per la decriptazione. le librerie le trovi su http://plf.zarb.org/ un howto semplice lo trovi su http://www.trylinuxsd.com/dvd/ premesso che sono grato a chi ha fatto xine, plf e trylinux, nel mio caso, facendo come dice lì, cioè installando tutto, non funziona. per farlo funzionare devo installare SOLO libdvdnav-ecc libdvdread-ecc xine-d4d-plugin-ecc e così posso vedere, per ora, i dvd criptati, aprendoli pigiando NON il bottone dvd ma il bottone d4d che ti comparirà sul pannello di xine. xine-dvdnav e lib-dvdnav non funziona ma se ne può fare a meno. se invece installo altri plugin come xine-d5d va in palla tutto: l'audio diventa unrumore oscillante e il video si muove a scatti e NON riesco a ripristinare la situazione precedente nè disinstallando nè reinstallando. ciao.

[newbie] Office suite with database
Years ago I used Ability Office - DOS version - which was amazing in its capabilities. For instance it had live links between modules - updating a spreadsheet automatically updated charts and any other links made, and the whole suite sold for £25. A couple of years ago I realised that they were now doing a windows version, and recently I became aware that there is now a linux project. Like everyone else they have had to try to import M$ files, so it may be a possible line of enquiry for those of you with database needs at lowest cost. There is a download trial, which should answer that. URL is www.ability.com I may look into it myself, later, but they're not M$ database files that I need to use, so it's not as likely to work for me.

Re: [newbie] Desktop misalignment on laptop screen
This is food for thought instead of a potential answer... The last few days, I have been struggling to get some old video cards and monitors to properly display X in RedHat 8.0, Mandrake 8.2 and 9.0. The difficulties have come about in both video drivers and version of the XFree86 server used. When I am able to choose the 3.3.6 in Mandrake 8.2, I have the best chance of success, though not with all cards I am using and/or monitors. RedHat 8.0 does not come with the option of downgrading to the older server. I am sure I could remedy that on-line, but not at this point of my 'newbiness'. My thoughts are this: The older the X-server version I use, the better my success working with older video cards (also interpret as cards with under 8 MB RAM and especially of the S3 chipset variation) as well as older monitors (also to be interpreted as monitors or LCD's? that are not capable of high-frequency output under high color depth, or not at all.) I just wonder if laptop LCDs, especially if a few years old or more, would run better with an older server version? In my case, if I reverted back to installing Turbo Linux 3.0.3 (~ circa 1998), I get excellent video/monitor control from a default installation on each and every one of these older cards and monitor combinations. I did a little reading at www.xfree86.org and learned that while there is a desire to make newer servers backward compatible to older video hardware, the porting takes time and is not guaranteed to happen for all. The fact that Mandrake gives you the choice of 3.3.6 over 4.2.2 emphasizes its importance to some, and in my case, made 8.2 work where even 9.0 wouldn't. Like I said...no answers for you. Just more questions for you to ponder as you try to figure it out. If you haven't tried using XFree86 3.3.6 on your laptop, this might be your solution. However, if you haven't and wish to do so without reinstalling, I am afraid you will have to ask others here to help you. I am still not at that stage in the game to help you change over. :-) T - Original Message - From: Flux [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 9:07 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Desktop misalignment on laptop screen Hi there. I was having the same problem on a Compaq EVO N150 except the screen was shifted a few pixels to the right instead of up. In any case, since you're using a laptop, xvidtune won't do squat for you, and any re- alignment in Windows won't help at all either, due to the fact that they aren't using the same drivers or whatever. So far, after reinstalling Mandrake/RedHat several times over and over, all I can say is that there appears no way to actually fix it, because its a laptop screen. (I really hope someone can contend this, but I doubt it) I'll tell you what, though. I had this problem when I first installed RedHat 7.3. Then, after wanting to try other things, I installed Mandrake 9.0 over top of RH. Well, guess what? The problem went away and the screen was perfectly aligned.

[newbie] GUI root privileges
rpmdrake, as well as any program that requires root privileges (drakconf,..), when invoked from the menu in Gnome opens a little window for the root passwd. It takes the passwd, thinks about it, and then asks for it again, and again,... They work fine when invoked from a root shell, so I think the problem lies with the actual window that requires the passwd. Does anyone else have this problem? Any solutions? If it's just me, that's my bad luck. But if it's actually a bug, there's no way to report it! The page for reporting bugs is not available, it seems, on Linux-Mandrake.com. And if you try to use drakbug, as I did, at the end of the process they'll tell you they don't accept this method unless initiated automatically by a crashed application. Of course here, nothing crashes, it just doesn't work, so there's no way to tell Mandrake the problem. Very frustrating. Thanks for any help you can give.

This way, someone can't get into the case, pull out the bios battery (resetting the bios to the default settings.) or press the power button to shutdown the machine. It's amazing how few people are aware of this (especially in films). Just to get this as off-topic as possible, I read a hilariously inaccurate novelistic account of someone breaking into a top secret computer. He finds a user login/pasword, then says something like The next thing I needed to do was reboot the machine so I could log in as root.

On the other other hand, they're obviously so hot on security that users can't use su (actually, that's pretty sensible). Jeez, with stuff like this and the ubiquitous Oh, the password's the name of the mad scientist's daughter! stuff around, it's not surprising security is a non-issue in most places.

Darron Froese [EMAIL PROTECTED] provided this excellent and clear
tutorial get-started-quick procedure for pop-before-smtp. Bennett Todd and
Wayne Davison have made some changes to keep it up-to-date with the newer
releases.
Please send criticisms and corrections to the popbsmtp mailing list:
URL:http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/popbsmtp-users
Please send thanks and kudos to Darron Froese, whose creative work this
document is. (His home page: http://darron.froese.org/ .)
--
This *is* the easy way - it actually doesn't get any easier than this.
Do these things:
1. Install the necessary perl modules that pop-before-smtp requires.
If you want to install the perl modules as RPMs, take a look at the script
in contrib named getfromcpan. It fetches the perl modules, turns them into
RPMs, and then (if you run it as root) installs them. (I prefer to build
the RPMs as a non-root user and then install the RPMs manually as root.)
The script works either way because it looks for your ~/.rpmmacros file to
determine what topdir to use.
Note that some systems already have pre-built packages for some or all of
these RPMs already available, so you might want to check your distribution
CDs or your favorite RPM/Apt site.
For the non-RPM way, run these commands as root:
% perl -MCPAN -e 'install Time::HiRes'
% perl -MCPAN -e 'install File::Tail'
% perl -MCPAN -e 'install Date::Parse'
% perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::Netmask'
That will install the necessary Perl modules from CPAN automatically -- as
long as you have Internet connectivity and a Perl that knows about CPAN.
2. Edit the pop-before-smtp-conf.pl file to customize it for your system.
Look for this:
# Set the log file we will watch for pop3d/imapd records.
#$file_tail{'name'} = '/var/log/maillog';
If the mentioned file is not the correct one that your email server uses to
log when someone has authenticated, you can uncomment the second line and
tweak its value (note that the code immediately following these lines might
find your logfile automatically -- it searches for several other values).
Take a look at the $pat definitions in the pop-before-smtp-conf.pl file
and uncomment the one for the mail server that you're running - if you're
running Linux it's probably going to be the $pat denoted by: # For UW
ipop3d/imapd (this is also the default if no $pat is uncommented in the
config file). Make sure you uncomment all the lines from the $pat =
start down to the nearest ';' for your pattern of choice (this is usually
2-3 lines).
If you're using Postfix and need to use a custom DB style or a different
dbfile path, feel free to edit that into the file as well.
If you're not using Postfix, you'll hopefully find your SMTP software
mentioned near the end of the config file. Comment out the preceding =pod
line for the section you want to enable.
3. Test the pop-before-smtp daemon.
Run this to ensure that your $pat choice is right:
% ./pop-before-smtp --config=./pop-before-smtp-conf.pl --debug --nowrite
--reprocess
(That should be all one line.) You should see messages about what IPs the
script finds and which ones it considers local and non-local. (Press
Ctrl-C to abort the script when you've seen enough.) If you didn't see any
IP mentions, either you don't have any POP/IMAP connections in the file, or
you don't have the right $pat variable uncommented. Check the maillog file
manually to see what's up and then retest until things look good.
4. Install the script and its support files.
Run these commands:
% cp pop-before-smtp.init /etc/rc.d/init.d/pop-before-smtp
% cp pop-before-smtp /usr/sbin/
% cp pop-before-smtp-conf.pl /etc
5. Start the pop-before-smtp daemon:
% /etc/rc.d/init.d/pop-before-smtp start
Verify that the DB file has been created. If you're not sure where to
look, run pop-before-smtp --dumpconfig and look at the dbfile value.
The actual created filename may have a suffix on it (such as .db), so
append a '*' on the end of the name when you look for it. Some examples:
ls -l /etc/postfix/pop-before-smtp*
ls -l /etc/mail/popauth*
This file should have a fairly recent modification date (as it should have
just been created).
6. Setup your SMTP software to look for this new DB file.
For Postfix:
Look in your /etc/postfix/main.cf for smtpd_recipient_restrictions --
add this somewhere into that line:
check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/pop-before-smtp
If you don't already have an smtpd_recipient_restrictions in your
main.cf, add

[newbie] Lilo problems - almost there
Thanks to the questions Terry asked last night and John's suggestions today, I have finally achieved a partially workable lilo. Problem is, the brain stops working with anything like efficiency when the going gets not just rough but crucial. Eventually it dawned on me that I have a boot disk - that's what they're for, isn't it? For a while I could boot into 9.0 from the floppy but couldn't get in any other way. Eventually, using the clues from Terry and John, I used MCC to reconstruct my lilo. Now the boot into 9.0 work perfectly. I also added an entry for 8.2, but that was only partially successful, so I'll have to work on that a bit more. It did, in fact, boot into 8.2, but failed to load the mouse, sound, and a list of other modules. Any clues on this would be gratefully received.

After a while, I gave up. Then, amazingly, I tried KWord. To set up spell-checking in KWord is a breeze.

Stubborn, as I tend to be, I re-tried OO. It's reallly quirky to set up, but when you finally have it running, it's brilliant ! - Could it be, that you don't run aspell ? A suggestion : one can get an idea of the completeness of various spell-checkers by comparing their file-sizes in the rpm-listings. That's the reason I use aspell. I have 4 languages installed : en_us (default), da (my wife has a - what's it called - word-blindness-disorder ?), de and fr (for my teen-age daughters) and all work splendidly.

Re: [newbie] Moving /var/www to different drive
i think what you suggested works i was doing that not too long ago, albeit with a slightly diff method. 1. mount the new hdd in a temp location, eg /mnt/new_hd 2. stop apache and a couple of personal crons that worked on /var/www 3. copy the stuff from /var/www to /mnt/new_hd 4. move /var/www to /mnt/backup/www (which is a backup drive of mine) 5. mount the new hdd at /var/www 6. edit fstab to reflect the changes 7. restart apache and whatever stuff i stopped. just some potential pitfalls u've to take note: 1. make sure you copy with permissions and ownership preserved i think it's 'cp -rp' or use 'rsync -az', but if i were you, i'd make sure. 2. in my case, mdk 8.2, cron needs to pass the hour mark before it picked up any changes in the crontab. the alternative was to manually restart cron. i'm not sure if it's default behaviour, but it certainly caused me lotsa grief when i started with cron. hope it helps On Mon, 18 Nov 2002 20:32:01 -0500 Todd Slater [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have an extra hard drive and I'm thinking about using it for /var/www or/var/ftp.

John Hola, John. I have changed gkrellm by ksensors. With ksensors you can dock in KDE panel the sensors that you really need, and you don't need a magnifier to see what is going there. Suerte. Yes the initial gkreallm gui is so tiny it's unreadable, but in fact it is fully reconfigurable to any size and shape you desire . Yes it takes more horsepower to display gui, but the ease with which it is possible to cover the changes in resource usage as different things happen is very helpful in understanding resource use, and in adition there is additional info in the gkreallm gui display than lm_sensors displays on it's own.
