[newbie-it] stampa mdk 9.0
Saluti a tutti - ho installato mdk 9.0-non riesco a stampare con galeon,mozilla e opera,mentre con netscape si. Non riesco a capire dove sia il problema. Saluti Rino.
[newbie-it] MDK9 non si installa
Premetto che un minimo di esperienza. Ciao a tutti, ho provato ad installare RehHat8 e Mandrake9 ma non mi riconoscono la scheda video neanche come generica o impostandola come Nvidia GeForce4 Generic con la conseguenza che alla fine dell' installazione non riesco a far partire StartX . La scheda è montata su MoBo con chipsert Via KT266A (agp4) ed è una XFX GeForce 4 mx440 - 64Mb DDR AV18 (agp4/8x) : Linux compatibile.

In effetti questo è IL bug che mi ha fatto veramente inc***#!re della 9.0; sembra essere un problema però solo di KDE, in quanto una volta montati i cd in Gnome, questi non hanno dato problemi di sorta. Il primo consiglio da dare sarebbe quello di togliere il supermount (a meno di non cambiare ambiente di desktop), se non fosse che, una volta intrapresa questa strada, mi sono trovato di fronte ad un problema ulteriore: una volta installati pacchetti dai cd di mdk, non era più possibile aprire il cassetto, perchè il procedimento di installazione era stato effettuato da root =8O, per cui dovevo loggarmi come root da console e dare eject...questo nonostante in fstab fosse presente un bel user.

[newbie-it] OT: Computer invaso dai pinguini
Arriva un momento in cui i tootl grafici sono più di impaccio che di aiuto, in questi momenti si deve cercare altrove la propria via, per questo motivo mi stò lentamente separando dal cordone MDK, cercando altri lidi. Chiedo in lista perchè vedo tanti che non usano MDK, e vorrei chiedere a loro alcuni consigli. Spero di non infastidire nessuno... Sui miei Hd convivono pacificamente 3 pinguini: MDK,RH,Slack. Su Mdk non ho domande. Su RH mi piacerebbe sapere se esiste un sistema grafico per gestire tonnellate di rpm tipo rpmdrake. Questo solo per curiosità. Per quanto riguarda Slack; mi sto affezionando! Ho configurato X, la scheda audio, video, il gestore di avvio (kdm non mi piace :-( ) . Non ho capito come funziona la directory /etc/rc.d/ . Dove devo mettere le mani per configurare i demoni che voglio all'avvio? Se ho una stampante usb, perfettamente individuata dal modulo usb-uhci, come posso fare per farla vedere a kde? Per attivare defvs ho visto che si deve ricompilare il kernel, ma ho notato che alcuni sono contrari al suo utilizzo. Sotto MDK funziona sempre meglio, la slack ha qualche problema? Scusate per la marea di domande.

This is usually a driver poblem I think. If it were mine, I would go to Mandrake Control Centre, hardware, printers. Change to expert mode, then double click on the printer name. From the menu, chose Printer Manufacturer, model, dtriver (this driver option is not on the normal mode menu). Check that you are using the recommended driver - it is likely to be Ghostscript + hpijs (though not having that model, I can't be sure). Then try the test page again.

Re: [newbie] Installation freeze after detecting IDE hard drive CDROM
After doing some more reading and poking around, here's some more information for anyone who can help, and who may be experiencing similar problems: - the hard drive controller is an UDMA-capable controller, at speeds up to 100 MB/sec burst rate at least. - the chipset in the controller is known as the ICH3M (82801CAM), and as far as I can tell...and I am NOT sure...this chipset had problems being supported properly in kernel 2.4.19. Please correct me if I am wrong! - the kernels 2.4.18 and 2.4.20 have apparently fixed this problem...? Not sure. - the hard drive is an IBM Travelstar 40GN 20GB ATA/100 2.5in 4200RPM Mobile Hard Drive, so it too is capable of higher speeds At any rate, I prepared a floppy installation disk with blank.img, and copied the kernel that comes with Redhat 8.0 (2.4.18), and sure enough it worked...after it booted up, I was able to see the Mandrake screen to begin installing (choose language, etc.). The Redhat kernel did NOT identify the IDE chipset correctly however, instead it identified it as a PIIX4 chipset instead of ICH3M. Visiting Intel's web site confirmed that ICH3M is backward compatible with PIIX4, the main difference of course being higher speeds in ICH3M presumably. So...if anyone has anything further to add...that'd be great. However I'm going to try and install with my cobbled Redhat/Mandrake installation floppy and Mandrake CD's, then deal with the resulting system later (perhaps it won't boot properly because the kernel that Mandrake uses is buggy with ICH3M, but I'm hoping I can boot using the floppy and then build a new 2.4.20 kernel with stable ICH3M support in it...).

Thanks, TP I like APT very much and think it's an excellent program. I suggest you get it from Texstar's site. This is the Mandrake packaging. You will need: APT APT-DEVEL SYNAPTIC (the graphical front end) If you have to download and install them manually, rather than using the Mandrake software packager, install them in the above order. Then, as root and connected to the Internet, run the command apt-get update It may take up to fifteen minutes for all the headers to be downloaded into /etc/apt. Then, run Synaptic. It's under configuration packaging. You will see a long list of all packages which are available for downloading and installing. Those already installed will have a right pointing arrow by them. You can see installed version numbers and available ones, for deciding what to update or install. Highlight the chosen packages and click on the install tab after each choice. All dependencies will also be automatically selected, and can be checked. Then click on Proceed, and whatever is selected will be downloaded and installed. This is just to get you started.

I would not be so quick to condem your current Kernel. M9.0 works with most current processors and mobos. I cannot remember whether you said you were dual linux or dual windblows/linux booting. but either way you need to install lilo , and I just hoped adding nobiospnp to the append= line in /etc/lilo.conf would stop the boot from hanging My best guess is that you don't have lilo installed anywhere at the moment, because you said you do not have lilo at all. So if you can bear to start again do another mandrake full install but take time to add nobiospnp to the append line in the lilo stanzas you create in the mandrake/lilo install eliment of that programme. Take time and care to create the correct entries and don't forget to make yourself a new mandrake bootdisc. then if you still get hangups on booting, or if the mandrake bootdisc also hangs then it aint the nobiospnp problem as such.

[newbie] finally installed 9.0
I decided to try installing 9.0 over my 8.2..did an upgrade instead of a clean install. the network check did not see my lan conection at all but had no problems seing it in 8.2. I figured I would wait until I was in linux to try to configure this. After the install, I rebooted. Lilo came up with a long list of choices. linux, old-linux, NT old NT etc. I hit enter on the default (linux) and got a blank screen. The same one I always get when I try to install 9.0 on it's own. I decided to try old linux to see what it would do and it booted into 9.0 beautifully. I am in 9.0 right now and once I get my dvd rom to play movies and my palm pilot to sync, I will just put linux on my larger HD and use it instead of XP. As you can see, my lan is working without me having to reconfigure. I am getting excited about this lol Walt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

That's the best time to be sure that they are switched on. I thought you said that you could not see the files within the folders, which I took to mean the windows pcs. If you're talking another linux box it shouldn't need samba, should it? I thought samba was just the 'language interpreter' for want of a better phrase, between linux and windows. Obviously I can't try this at the moment, but I would have thought that LinNeighbourhood or Komba2 would be able to see and mount the shares, samba or not. Have you tried either?

That causes Opera to immediately seg fault and crash! I don't have any other crashes in normal use. It's pretty strange. Also, I cannot get Opera 6.1 shared qt to display flash. I can get the static qt version to use flash however. :-/ I also have font problems with the static version, so I am presently using the shared qt. Great fonts. I posted these problems on the opera-linux list, but have not had any forthcoming solutions. Apparently the flash thing is due to an Opera glitch in the shared qt version I'm using.

Re: [newbie] Using Samba With Linux Clients
No, I haven't as yet. With Francisco's and Stephen's recommendation as one or both of those choices, I will try one out. I just thought that there would have been a 'native' application or applet within every Linux distro that goes along with the loading of the Samba client to do this. I can see where you can load a client at the console level, but no GUI to do this (I am not even sure that the MCC Mount Drives section is working right, either.) Sorry to have confused you. My Win machines hooked up so easily, it was a dream. I just can't get the Linux boxes to see the insides of the folders. I'll try one of these GUI client/managers and see what happens. Thanks.

Or was your server also the client (the only Linux machine in the house?) I will look over your smb.conf and try a few changes that make some sense. My Linux box is for the moment the only one, so server and client.

The things I suggested were the actions I would take if I could not log into KDE at all. Your symptoms are different in that you can log in the first time, but not a second. But as I said. Deleting the .DCOP files in your home will do no harm since they just get recreated. You do not have to worry about the ones in /tmp, they get deleted automatically if they have not been used for 60 days. Other files that can cause 'funnies' during logon are ~/.ICE-authority and ~./MCOP-random-seed These also get recreated when you log in, but if you are nervous you can always just rename them. derek On Sunday 01 Dec 2002 1:01 am, Chris wrote: On Saturday 30 November 2002 06:33 pm, you said, and I quote: On Saturday 30 Nov 2002 11:28 pm, Chris wrote: Not sure how or when then began to happen or even what the heck I did, but heres whats going on.

I did a CTRL-E to restart X, kde did load up the 2nd time I tried this. I completely shut down the system, brought it backup but the problem is still there. Anything else you think I should try? -- Regards Chris Registered Linux user #283774 @ http://counter.li.org 8:00pm up 1 min, 1 user, load average: 0.95, 0.30, 0.10 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] ADSL Modem not recognised
Can someone tell me why, with LM-8.2 we simply had to load the USB-Speedtouch file mgmt.o into usr/share/speedtouch/mgmt.o and then Linux detected it but with LM-9 it doesn't? I was even more disappointed to find that I might have to do god-knows-what to the kernel and recompile it to get Speedtouch recognised by LM-9. Have Mandrake not put the same facilities in LM-9 as they had in 8.2? Now for the sulky bit - (you don't need to read this, I'm just venting) - and don't tell me that you all don't secretly sulk. I'm feeling very **ck*** sorry for myself! I want my Linux! I've been trying, on and off, for literally years to get into Linux, and Mandrake 8.2 was the closest I've been to a working system. I was finally able to actually start learning Linux with it! Then of course there came closing down problems which led to more probs and that was the end of a working ML8.2 system. I can't easily install a new Linux on my tri-boot machine - Win2000, Win98 (for work reasons) Mandrake - so it wasn't until I noticed that vers 9 was available that I got the enthusiasm to disturb my machine again with a new Linux install. I was at least confident that problems with the USB Speedtouch had been solved way back in the 8.2 past. Instead there seems to have been a step backward. As the USB-Speedtouch is supplied by Britain's largest ISP British Telecom, to all it's ADSL customers there must be so many thousands of punters out there needing it to work with Mandrake I am amazed that Mandrake seem to have chosen to 'withdraw their support??' for it. Mandrake detects all my other peripherals but not this bloody modem. Kernel - Shmernel! I haven't even learned how to escape from the gui and get to the command line yet - that's another prob I've got. (I was weaned on CPM and DOS so I can appreciate the value of using the command line). I don't know why I'm such a fan of Mandrake, perhaps because the RedHat BookDisc kit I bought in 1997 nor the various systems from magazine covers have never worked, perhaps because this has always been such an informative n.g. :-), who knows. If anyone can help I'd apreciate it. Five years of being a Newbie is very embarrasing - what can I tell my kids? Thanks Dave --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
