[newbie-it] Stampante laser e RE -masterizzare
Saluti a tutti, e anticipate scuse a quelli che mi avessero risposto per il problema a copiare cd audio con cdrecord, ma sono stato assente un pò e solo stamattina ( dal lavoro per giunta ho iniziato a leggere i 375 messaggi che avevo nella cartella ) e subito mi si è presentato un nuovo problema ( che fortuna ) Sto cercando di convertire la ditta per cui lavoro a Linux e buttre via tutti i WIN 98 e ME esistenti cosi ho installato sul mio 800 Mhz con Win Me Mandrake 8.2, per provare se riesco a collegarmi via telnet al server aziendale del gestionale, se riesco ad emulare win all' interno di linux per utilizzare un programma di Access, ecc. Ho una stampante Laser Epson EPL5900L, che viene riconosciuta all' instalazione a qualunque driver metta non stampa neanche la pagina di prova (nessun messaggio di errore ma silenzio di tomba ). Qualcuno sà darmi qualche idea? Ciao a Tutti Dario Miretti

Siamo tutti d'accordo sul prezzo :-) Diciamo che la differenza è data da fattori diversi rispetto al chipset: - WOL (wake on lan) possibilità di avviare un pc con un input trasmesso da rete, tramite la scheda ethernet - possibilità di condivisione degli IRQ. Ho dovuto spostare da uno slot ad un altro l'ultima scheda che ho acquistato perché interferiva con l'IRQ del controller promise della scheda madre. - maggior controllo sulla qualità dei pezzi e del loro assemblaggio. - Comunque, ripeto quello che ti ho già detto: - se devi trasferire saltuariamente dei file tra due PC o attaccarti ad un modem ADSL, ti va benissimo una realtek economica (a casa uso quelle) - se devi realizzare un cluster di PC o, comunque, hai bisogno di collegamenti ad alte prestazioni e affidabilità, allora orientati su 3COM (sono quelle che usiamo in istituto).

Quindi: adesso abbiamo una email del tipo [EMAIL PROTECTED] , su questo indirizzo puoi ricevere con fetchmail la tua posta esterna volendo...anche qui webmin rulez, poi hai la possibilita' di far navigare gli altri pc usando il tuo come proxy, quindi siamo alla sicurezza bhe... se usi un router e' tutto piu' semplice diciamo che ci pensa lui a nattare la tua rete all'esterno altrimenti devi chiedere ai maghi di iptables e di netfilter. direi che come suite per ufficio openoffice sia una manna,come navigatore mozilla e' al top, con Komba due sfogli e condividi in un attimo gli hard disk dei win2000 ... credo solo in lettura. bene poi dopo che il tuo e' saldo passi al secondo... non credo di aver detto troppe fesserie vedo i gurus all'attacco. divertiti francesco

Grazie e ciao Io ho abbandonato Mandrake update per, a mio umile giudizio, lentezza (tempo prima che verifichi, tempo prima che ti dia il risultato, tempo...). La soluzione che preferisco è collegarmi con gFTP al sito della Edisontel e scaricare gli aggiornamenti in una cartella locale (magari solo quelli che ritieni necessari). Poi da root, digiti il comando : init 1 ti porti nella cartella in cui hai scarito gli rpm e digiti: rpm -Fvh * e tutto va a posto da solo, comprese dipendenze. Se manca qualcosa, ti avvisa lui. Alla fine digiti: shutdown -r now PS Puoi anche verificare che i pacchetti siano corretti con il comando: rpm --checksig * se hai la chiave Mandrake inserita con GnuPG, oppure con: md5sum * se li vuoi verificare con i checksum.

Re: [newbie] internet problem mandrake 9.0
Just a small development, I tried to use the wizard, and selected ADSL and the DHCP option to connect, instead of the ethernet selection using DHCP and it worked. It connect to the net, I browsed, and all was well. I re-booted the machine, and it now won't connect again. No matter what I do. I went back through the connection wizard, and checked all the eth0 settings, but after about 1 hour of trying I could not do anything to get it connected again. Something has to be interferring with the connection, but I can't work out what it could be. How can Mandrake make something so simple, a pain in the ***! Where are the config files for eth0 and internet settings, so I can check the settings and see if there is something wrong there?

Was I right? Yes Are there any serious problems with this strategy? No. That is, you don't gain in efficiency and you lose in flexibility by partitioning. There might be a small gain you can make by mounting the invarient parts read-only, but I've never heard of it being done.

wouter pos wrote: Dear john, some new developments in my attempt to install mandrake 9.0: Now the bootup can find the module dependencies but hangs NOW with Enabling swap space!!! What could this mean??? Greetings Wouter Pos Well, In my experience you can boot to desktop without having a mounted swap partition, but what this is really saying to my mind is that you somehow failed to have your /swap partion mounted when you set up the /swap partition. It's a three part operation, creating your various partitions formatting them and then enabling them to be mounted, I'm guessing a bit but I would say you failed to properly select the /swap partiton you created, if indeed you did create a /swap partition. It's not unusual for newbies to get a bit confused with the mandrake partitioning formatting and enabling tool, I know that there is almost certainly a way to format and mount your /swap partition from the rescue disc, but although it's a bit of a pain I would suggest you do the exercise again and take a bit more time and care, remember, create,select, and format each partition if this is a new installation as it is. There is a possibility that your boot disk might run you to desktop, whereupon it's quite easy to mount your swap partition from there. Oh yes, wait a minute there is an entry required in /etc/fstab like this, /dev/hda8 swap swap defaults 0 0(swap may not be /dev/hda8 ?) I'm guessing that in failing to set up your /swap partition as mounted during the install, this line will be missing in your /etc/fstab, and therefore it will not get mounted. However as I say, I have in the past also forgotten to mount my newly created /swap partition, but it has never stopped me getting to desktop, but then I have oudles of physical memory, so I don't think it's an issue when I make the same mistake, maybe in your case it is an issue.

[newbie] Handling time setting on a dual boot system
I am running 99% mdk9.0, 1% XP on my main workstation. My timezone is set correctly and Mandrake has been told during the install (and again since) that the realtime clock is set at local time. Despite this, when I reboot I find the time set with an offset of 10 hours corresponding to my timezone. So it seems clear that Mandrake is treating time setting as if my clock is set at UTC. If I didn't have to dual boot, I'd just set it that way, but that's not viable when XP gets a brief run every day or three. Where are these time settings stored? I found /etc/timezone. It just contains the string: Australia/Melbourne, which is where I am. TIA Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] unreadable files? :-/
LOL Of course, if you ever want to check whether a file is safe (i.e. readable ASCII) or not before you cat or vi or less it, is to use the file (no quotes) command first.

[newbie] disable Flash?

My timezone is set correctly and Mandrake has been told during the install (and again since) that the realtime clock is set at local time. Despite this, when I reboot I find the time set with an offset of 10 hours corresponding to my timezone. So it seems clear that Mandrake is treating time setting as if my clock is set at UTC. If I didn't have to dual boot, I'd just set it that way, but that's not viable when XP gets a brief run every day or three. Where are these time settings stored? I found /etc/timezone.
