non è nulla di tutto questo
è qualcosa di molto più potente:
è un insieme di macro per ottenere documenti scritti in tex
e dà come risultato un formato tipografico
prova a creare un file pippo.tex e dentro scrivi
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
Ciao Pippo, Pippo ciao

Poi complilalo con latex pippo.tex
e vai a leggere il pippo.dvi
oppure trasformalo in ps
con dvips pippo.dvi -o pippo.ps
Prova! ciao

[newbie-it] Formattazione Latex
Buon giorno a tutti, faccio per prima cosa i complimenti a Giorgio per la sua laurea, e visto che in molti hanno ammesso di conoscere latex, forse non saro' ignorato se chiedo un piccolo aiuto. In questi giorni sto usando latex per scrivere la mia tesina di laurea (presto, spero, anche quella di laurea VERA) ma mi sono imbattuto in una difficolta' che neppure i manuali forniti a corredo hanno saputo farmi superare (non li ho letti tutti, ovviamente, ma su the non so short latex, ed altri non ho trovato nulla) . Quello che vorei fare e' introdurre un'immagine incasellata nel testo. Quello che invece sono riuscito ad ottenere e' stato di dividere la pagina in due minipagine, una contenete lo scritto e l'altra l'immagine. Ma in questo modo mi sono giocato (non so perche' ) la possibilita' di definire un \caption (non sapevo come spiegarlo :-)). Qualcuno ha qualche suggerimento? Un mio amico non avendo la soluzione mi ha detto che l'unico modo e' usare una macro. Ma io non so da che parte iniziare a scivere una macro..

Re: [newbie-it] OT: mi sono laureato
Innanzitutto, complimenti a Giorgio che 1) si è laureato (in cosa?) 2) ha fatto la tesi con OO.org, mentre io, schifosa che sono, ero terrorizzata ancora dal linuccio all'epoca (il lontano 2001) e ho usato l'innominabile W***'97 -anche sul 486... incredibile ma vero: come succede quando si fa la tesi, capitano le cose più incredibili e terribili. Al caro 266Mhz si era staccata la RAM (bastava pettinarla un attimo) a due giorni dalla consegna, ho perso la testa perchè lo zozwindows non partiva, e il linuccio mi ha salvato la vita facendomi recuperare i file.

Adesso, si spaccata in due: - OpenOffice-1.0.1 distribuibile liberamente, che trovi nei CD free di tutte le distribuzioni o scarichi da www.openoffice.org - StarOffice-6.0, solo a pagamento, ma che trovi nel power-pack di Mandrake-9.0 Sono essenzialmente lo stesso prodotto. StarOffice ha in più alcune componenti non-free come Adabas. ciao, andrea

Re: [newbie-it] MDK 9 e non ha pi X!!!!!
file ci sono delle incongruenze: Section Module Load glx # 3D layer Questa riga ... Section Device Driver nv O installi (ricompilandoli) i driver proprietari NVidia (e sistemi il file come dicono le istruzioni relative) oppure lasci quelli tradizionali di XFree86, lasciando le righe che appaiono nell'XF86Config-4 iniziale, ma evitando di caricare glx (per il quale servono le librerie Mesa, in assenza di meglio): in ogni caso _non_ vanno mescolate le configurazioni. Con l'aggiornamento alla 9 i pacchetti xfree86* hanno sovrascritto anche il file di configurazione. La prossima volta cmq, prima di aggiornare, fai una copia dei file di configurazione importanti modificati. P.S. Il grosso problema e' che quando si sono installati i driver proprietari e relative estensioni GLX e' praticamente impossibile tornare indietro ai driver di xfree. Pensa che io avevo formattato anche la partizione / e /usr e anche /var lasciando attive solo /opt e /home, non capisco come possano esserci dei residui del tentativo non andato in porto di installare i driver NVidia, tenendo conto che tra l'altro dopo quel fallimento la 8,2 funziava Adesso è tutto una esplosione di righe veloci e multicromatiche!

You be up an sharing in about 2 minutes - 5 if you read the fine print. HTH Brian Cheers Brian, but I tried the mandrake rpm files which failed, and then tried to compile gShield from source which also didn't go too well. Can you explain how you set your ICS up please. My current situation is shorewall is installed (by default as soon as I used MCC to enable internet sharing) but it set to not start up at boot in services. Did you uninstall shorewall completely and not use MCC to set-up/enable ICS and just depend on gShield to get the results you were after? If I enable it, then this system changes my static IP from the required 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1. This then throws out the rest of the network for all the other stuff I am running (samba,ftp). Even though shorewall isn't running right now, it has killed proftpd, which cannot determine the IP of this machine and refuses to now start, even though ifconf confirms the IP to be 192.168.0.1. Squid also now complains on shutdown producing errors,although this doesn't seem to affect the machine's ability to reboot. regards magnet Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

wouter pos wrote: Sequence of events of my installation? ok!! Do I remember correctly , yours is a dual boot with W98 ? If so I believe you may well have bios set for pnp detection, as I believe w98 requires it. When W98 boot it looks back at the job bios has done detecting pnp devices and incorporates that knowledge into it's boot sequence, Mandrake doesn't need to do this, hence all the nobiospnp business to /etc/lilo.conf append= etc etc. If you don't have w98 installed and this is a dualboot with slackware then this is maybe not the case, I don't know anything about slackware, never having installed it. Possibly slackware needs bios pnp detection, I simply don't know. However just out of curiousity, and because I'm the kind of guy that will experiment, maybe it is worth trying as an experiment, disabling pnp detection in bios, and try booting mandrake just to see what happens. If it doesn't work, no harm done just go back into bios and reenable. First i already had linux installed. It was the slackware distribution with hda3 of 3.7 GB and a swap space hda4 of 125 MB (TOO SMALL??). Well, it's not enourmous , but believe me you can boot a linux OS on no swap space, I've done it many times, when for one reason or another the install went wrong and I had to restore swap mounting from desktop. Swap space is mobile memory, similar but not the same as windblows virtual memory, only in windblows it's a file with preset expandible limits, whereas in linux it's a /swap partition , if your swap space is to small it can be the cause of lockups when attempting to do big numbercrunching jobs like fsck, or something similar, but I doubt whether the size of your swap space here is anything to do with the problem, although you don't say what size you memory stick is, maybe a question mark here ? Ok the installation bootup went smoothly with a boot floppy made with rawrite.exe from the mandrake site. I gave an enter when the first screen came up (enter or F1) and the installation procedure-screen came up with the separate dots indicating the installation procedure. your Mandrake cd1 would not autorun ?, maybe you don't have the cdrom drive in your boot sequence in bios, I like to have , floppydrive,cdrom,ide, in that order, doesn't have to be but it's nice to not have to bother going back into bios to sellect cdrom and first boot device just in order to get the Mandrake cd1 to run. A recommended install was done and the dutch language was chosen and i accepted the terms and conditions. I chose an install instead of an upgrade or upgrade packages only. I chose for no scsi interface. And a standard mouse and a us keyboard. I used the existing partition hda3 as my root partition and hda4 as my swap space I formatted it (them both). All of the workstation possibilities were chosen including both KDE and GNOME desktop. (All the server options weren't taken into account). The installation began and it took about 20 minuten for 3 cd's. difficult to say, 20 minutes is about how long it takes me with 1800 athlon processor with 512mb of ddr ram installing 2.5 gigs of OS, I am guessing you are not installing anthing like so much, and with a slower processor and less memory, it doesn't seem too bad to me. (Have i wrongly burned the iso-files to the cd's? I have used Nero to burn the iso-files There were no errors during this operation, though.) Nothing wrong with nero, though I prefer linux's cdrecord for this job, the nero version I have doesn't do 700mb discs , maybe yours does. Then the root password was chosen and a user (just one: me!!!) The network was detected with a automatic detection and my LAN was detected. ( We are using a LAN network and we are running ADSL with 10 persons through a central server running a slackware linux distribution.) Summary was excepted. (With the CUPS server runnign for my canon bjc250 printer). And my audio card (integrated) was detected (C-media). The bootloader was installed: Grub boot device /dev/hda3 and delay of 7 seconds. Bootdisk was made. Installation for X was only the frequency with a screen size 1024 X 768 : at 70 HZ using a iiyama monitor this is screen resolution ( as against video resolution)not screen size, otherwise good. (not listed in iiyama list LS 902 UT). My graphical card is integrate onto my motherboard. My motherboard is an Asus a7n266 with sound but no LAN. On the website my motherboard is not listed in the hardware support list but the installation finds it (Nvidia integrated Generic). I have no experience with intergrated mobo screen drivers, but there is a question mark in my mind ? possible source of problem ? my viewing size was 1024 x 768 at 65.000 colors 16 bit. well the screen resolution 1024 x 768 is ok but the frequency is 65 where your screen freequency is 70 , I would like them to both be the same value so back in the section for screen resolution I think I would try to find one that is the same
Re: [newbie] RE: So many core dumps, what up !!
I'm new to the MDK world. I was using SuSE 8.1. The environment is very stable. Including the XServer included. But, the desktop is rather crude.

So, I need a fairly robust desktop environment. As well as a stable kernel environment. So far that vote if still out on MDK. I'm going to install some of the Java tools.

Re: [newbie] RE: So many core dumps, what up !!
Core dumps are an entirely normal part of running Linux. Anytime an application 'segfaults' a diagnostic dump is produced. If you run flaky applications then core dumps are the consequence. However ordinary users are generally not interested in core dumps and wish to suppress them. This is easily done by inserting the command ulimit -c 0 in the file ~/.bash_profile for a single user, or /etc/profile for all users. Looking at my own system. My laptop is producing coredumps (because I keep running Opera 6.1 which crashes regularly) and I can see the current setting by typing ulimit -a is to allow core dumps up to 1MB in size On the other hand ulimit -a on my desktop machine tells me that coredump size is set to zero, and I am not getting core dumps. So clearly there is a difference in the way my two computers are configured. The only difference that comes to mind is that the /home directory on the desktop was from a previous 8.2 install, while the laptop was a clean install. I will take a closer look to find out where the coredump size is being set. derek On Tuesday 03 Dec 2002 2:05 pm, kjc wrote: I'm running the ftp 9.0 version.

Looks like the core dumps are a symptom of something sick about your machine. Have you made any changes to central components of the software?

If you get a good install, as mine was, you will have few problems and you can then ditch 8.2 And yes, there are as many card games etc. as you could want Anne Want to buy your Pack or Services from Ok It's decided then, Mandrake 9 here we come !

Re: [newbie] RE: So many core dumps, what up !!
I installed the NVidia XServer driver. And, it looks like the XServer was the culprit. The result is like night and day. Why this driver was not included is a mystery to me.

My laptop is producing coredumps (because I keep running Opera 6.1 which crashes regularly) and I can see the current setting by typing ulimit -a is to allow core dumps up to 1MB in size On the other hand ulimit -a on my desktop machine tells me that coredump size is set to zero, and I am not getting core dumps. So clearly there is a difference in the way my two computers are configured. The only difference that comes to mind is that the /home directory on the desktop was from a previous 8.2 install, while the laptop was a clean install.

[newbie] Dynamic IP
Hi Guys I'm using Mandrake 9 and enjoy using it, so far with no major headaches. I would now like to set up a mail server with web access for my own use whilst travelling (I'm going to South Africa on holioday tomorrow). I have a cable connection with a dynamically assigned IP and using a Linksys DSL/Cable router with my Linux PC connected via one of the available 4 LAN ports. Having set up an account with no-ip.com I have installed the client on my pc and think it updates my IP automatically, however I am a bit confused with where the router fits into all this. If my Dynamic IP changes the router will automatically remain connected. I have set up Mandrake using a static IP, and enabled a route to the PC using the routers DMZ function. Can I safely assume that this would give me access to my PC, just by entering the blahblah.no-ip.com address ? Does anyone have any suggestions for a webmail server ? I know the easiest way is just to forward all my mail to my ISP's facility - but thats not why I changed over to Linux a few years ago. I trust someone has a similar setup and can chuck me a few pointers. Regards Mark A Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
RE: [linux] [newbie] Tar - Is there a 2Gb limit file size on NT4
well for max file sizes, i found out for win95/win98 its 4Gb-1Kb, and for ntfs its 4Gb-1byte, on ntfs5.1 its t big to cause anyone any problems, in the trillion bytes range. So the 2Gb limit i'm having is not the target max file size limits. NTFS r/w problems only occur when the drive is in the Linux machine, not remotely connected across networks.

RE: [newbie] internet sharing help needed

Re: [newbie] Dynamic IP
Sure. Your distro CDs should have the OpenSSH software. The RPMs are named like openssh-common, openssh-server, openssh-client. Install them on ur Linux box. The installation will also create a default setup good to go as a server on port 22. You can tweak all that in /etc/ssh/sshd.conf. Test it out by issuing the ssh localhost command. It should connect, ask you for ur login password and drop you into a shell. No need to use the insecure telnet afterwards. SSH sessions are secured using encryption. Lots of enhancements can be done using SSH. Stuff like tunneling other insecure protocols like IMAP or X over the SSH channel, doing client authentication using client keys or single sign on to the entire network can be achieved easily using SSH.

Re: [newbie] Dynamic IP
hi Mark, ssh runs on port 22, so if you want to ssh into your machine, open port 22 on your router and forward it to the internal ip of your Mandrake box. to give my take on your original question, you can use the following combination for your webmail. Mail Transport Agent - postfix Imap - courier Web server - apache Webmail - squirrelmail as always there are alternatives, but this combination was suggested for simplicity of installation and availability of rpms for Mandrake. remember you may also have to perform the forwarding on your router for port 80 (for webmail) and port 25 (for postfix) - Original Message - From: Mark Annandale [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 12:30 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Dynamic IP On Tuesday 03 Dec 2002 4:23 pm, Nikunj Bansal wrote: Well, I have a somewhat similar situation and I have an account for Dynamic DNS with tzo.com.

I've had this problem many times, to the point where fixing it is a normal part of setting up Samba now. Theeasiest fix i found was to log into Webmin, and browse to ServersSamba Windows File Sharing, and clicking on the Edit Samba Users and passwords link. Once in there, I would click on each users link, and when the Edit Samba User page opened I would re-typw the password which is already setup for that user, and UNcheck the No Password Required box. After that, a quick Samba restart would alsways do the trick. If that still didn't work, a quick reboot of the Windows PC or workstation would usually do the trick.

as a quick and simple fix, if you haven't done so, try enabling encrypted passwords in smb.conf. the syntax is to add in smb.conf in the [global] section encrypted passwords = yes in the default smb.conf shipped in Mdk , this line exists around line 100. if this doesn't help, install the samba documentation package, open this file and work your way thru it. /usr/share/doc/samba-doc-2.whatever-version/docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt tell the list which item the tests fails at, and i'm sure someone more capable than me would be able to use the info to help you. it probably wouldn't hurt to include your smb.conf. if you feel there are confidential stuff in it, just scramble it (in an obvious manner) hope it helps. - Original Message - From: Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: newbie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 12:29 AM Subject: [newbie] Samba authentication. It won't let me in :( Hi everyone, I have tried finding a solution in the archives of newbie and expert, but this won't get me anywhere. Also mandrakeuser.org has nothing for me... I am doing something very wrong with samba authentication. I have user paul on my linux box. I also have user paul on a winblows pc. (Call that 'log in'? ;) I have added user paul for samba, as root: smbuser -a paul With smbpasswd -U paul I set the samba password to the loginpassword I use on linux and also on the winblows machine. Workgroup name in smb.conf and winblows is identical. Running testparm shows no problems in smb.conf. Problem occurs with and without user.map file. And what does /var/log/samba/log.p400 tell me: [2002/12/03 17:20:27, 0] passdb/pampass.c:smb_pam_passcheck(827) smb_pam_passcheck: PAM: smb_pam_auth failed - Rejecting User paul ! [2002/12/03 17:20:30, 0] passdb/pampass.c:smb_pam_passcheck(827) smb_pam_passcheck: PAM: smb_pam_auth failed - Rejecting User paul !

As there is info in the logfile, there is a connection to the linux machine. (I know the network setup is okay, since FTP works just fine.) The windows (98) end of things state: Error 86: The specified network password is not correct. Type the correct password, or contact your network administrator. So it is just the samba authentication that blows up. Does anyone have a pointer for me? Thanks. Paul -- On a Bucharest elevator: The lift is being fixed for the next days.

did you happen to open and save them in a M$windows application?
