[newbie-it] X sbagliata!!
Salve a tutti, ho un problema.. quando entro dentro la mia mdk 9.0 la X che mi parte è sempre Window Maker, mentre io voglio settare kdecome si fa??? Grazie
Re: [newbie-it] X sbagliata!!
Premetto che non ho grande esperienza in Linux... Durante l' installazione hai selezionato sia KDE che GNOME qua : http://images.mandrakesoft.com/img/9.0/install_b.png ? SE SI : allora esegui il Logaut (disconnessine utente) cliccando il tasto Spegni del tuo WindowsMaker, ora ti troverai una finestrella in mezzo allo schermo dove scegli l' utente o spegni il PC, scegli il tuo utente e al posto di Default metti KDE. Una volta entrato avvia il ControlPanel e modifica permanentemente la modalità grafica del tuo utente. - Original Message - From: Ivano Natalini [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 08, 2002 9:24 AM Subject: [newbie-it] X sbagliata!!

[newbie-it] [Per esperti] Uso dalla memoria
Salve a tutti, vorrei tanto capire, come viene gestita la memoria, sotto linux, vi spiego il mio problema: ho scritto un piccolo programma in c che alloca semplicemente n byte di memeoria, aspetta 15 secondi (attesa passiva) e poi esce, dove gli n byte, li decido da riga di comando. Fino a quando gli facci allocare un cero numero di byte, (+ 0 - 13 byte) alloca sempre 74 kb di memoria, forse perche' quando carica il programma, resta una pagina di memoria mezza vuota, e fino a quando non l'ha completamente riempita, mantiene sempre lo stesso numero di pagine, e quindi anche di memoria. Dicendo al mio programmino di allocare circa 132000 byte, la memoria diventa di 75 kb, (ok, ho preso una nuova pagina o almeno cosi' sembra), ma aumentanto ancora ritorna a 74 kb! PERCHE' !!!

Certo. Se fai un Cd audio, aloora gli impianti hi-fi (e i lettori normali dei Cd) lo leggono, perche' quello e' il loro formato.

[newbie-it] masterizzazione: piccoli dettagli
Sabato mi sono trovata a dover masterizzare un Cd per un amico che usa Win$. Abitualmente, con questo genere di lavoretti, inserisco tra i file tre o quattro personalizzazioni: l'autorun, un'icona (il mio logo ;-) ) e un file per sfogliare il CD. Ora, sotto linux di tutta 'sta roba non si utilizza nulla, ma con win$ fa colpo. Mi manca solo un'ultima personalizzazione: dare un nome al CD, in modo che esso gia' si veda (come l'icona, peraltro) dal gestione risorse. Ho testato il CD fatto sotto win$, e ho visto che cdrecord l'ha chiamato semplicemente cd-rom. E' possibile cambiargli nome? Per maserizzare uso cdrecord da shell.

Con cdrecord o con cdrdao da console; i vari programmi garfici che trovi in circolazione spesso (praticamente sempre) sono dei semplici front-ends (si scrive cosi'?) dei primi. Volevo anche sapere se c'è un modo o un programma per convertire gli mp3 in wav. Puoi usare o mpg123 o mpg321. Il secondo e' totalmente sotto GnuGPL, quindi.. usalo. mpg321 -v file.mp3 -w nomechevuoituperilfile.wav se invece vuoi convertire piu' files mp3 in una sola volta, allora devi crearti un piccolo script. Questo e' il semplicissimo script che uso io con il quale converto piu' file.mp3 (ma anche uno solo) e masterizzo. #!/bin/bash for I in *.mp3 do mpg321 -v --wav - $I $I.wav done cdrecord -pad -dao -v speed=32 dev=0,1,0 -audio *.wav rm *.wav Funziona cosi': ti metti tutti i files mp3 in una directory dedicata, ti posizioni in quella dir e lanci lo script. Se vuoi provarlo ricordati che, a meno di non aver gia' dato il setuid a cdrecord, devi lanciarlo da root. Naturalmente il valore di speed impostalo in base alle caratteristiche del tuo masterizzatore e lo stesso per i valori di dev (con il comando cdrecord --scanbus da root, sono i tre numeri a sinistra sulla riga del masterizzatore). Visto che ormai ci sono.. questo e' lo script con il quale masterizzo da cd a cd, passando per l'hardisk.. ti sconsiglio infatti (opinione personalissima) la masterizzazione al volo: #!/bin/bash cdparanoia -B -s cdrecord -pad -dao -v speed=32 dev=0,1,0 -audio *.wav rm *.wav Metti i cd nei lettori e lanci il comandino. -- syd - LU 285930 * LM 167646 msg10017/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

L'informatica e' piu' strategica di quanto possa sembrare anche dopo un'attenta valutazione. Si tratta di una meta-tecnologia ovvero una tecnologia che serve a crearne altra: ogni oggetto o servizio che utilizziamo contiene massicce quantità di software, gli abiti che indossiamo, un bicchiere d'acqua, le vacanze, un buon libro, i trasporti, la cultura, il divertimento. Chi controlla il software oggi controlla gran parte della nostra vita. Oggi i nostri strumenti (programmi e software in generale) di produzione, diffusione, fruizione della cultura sono controllati da altri. Gli strumenti di formazione (culturale, sociale, personale) delle giovani generazioni sono controllati da altri. Sono pensati, progettati, costruiti da altri. Sono conosciuti, nel loro funzionamento, da altri. Per altri si intendono alcune (pochissime) multinazionali che progettano e producono praticamente tutto il software utilizzato da noi. La forma e la logica di funzionamento degli strumenti di studio e di crescita dei giovani e' decisa altrove, dal consiglio di amministrazione di potenti societa' straniere. Noi non sappiamo come funziona la tecnologia che usiamo. Loro lo sanno. E ce la danno solo in uso. Il software e le tecnologie proprietarie sono inconoscibili a chiunque. Siamo sottomessi a una oppressione culturale. Oggi e' ancora aperta una via d'uscita. La via di salvezza si chiama Software Libero. Col Software Libero e' possibile conoscere la tecnologia che usiamo, e' possibile essere padroni delle proprie scelte, creare i propri modelli culturali, e' possibile che il sapere rimanga un bene legato alla comunita' che lo usa e lo sviluppa. Oggi e' ancora possibile utilizzare il software Libero perche' l'hardware e' ancora aperto, ovvero se ne conosce la struttura e il modo in cui lavora. Trust di livello mondiale si stanno organizzando per bloccare, chiudere, nascondere anche il funzionamento dell'hardware: mai piu' standard aperti e pubblici. Le porte della stalla si stanno per chiudere e i buoi non si stanno ancora apprestando a fuggire: presto iniziera' la mungitura economica e soprattutto quella culturale. Utilizzeremo tecnologia che non comprendiamo e che PER LEGGE non potremo comprendere. Gli strumenti per creare, diffondere, fruire l'informazione saranno noti e controllati soltanto da poche amministratori delegati sparsi chissa' dove nel mondo. Il progresso e l'obsolescenza tecnologica saranno amministrati da pochi individui e non siamo sicuri che questi pochi individui siano nostri amici... Ancora c'e' speranza. Utilizziamo immediatamente e diffusamente il Software Libero. Iniziamo adesso, iniziamo a Firenze, iniziamo in Toscana. La resistenza culturale e' oggi possibile, e' possibile in Toscana, e' possibile ancora per poco. Diventa da oggi necessaria la totale migrazione al Software Libero su vasta scala, in modo da creare un mercato Libero, in modo da creare conoscenza legata al territorio e alla nostra societa', in modo da autodeterminare i modelli di sviluppo del pensiero e della societa' in cui viviamo. I passi sono tre, semplici ma non facili: migrazione all'utilizzo del Software Libero per l'universita' e la scuola di ogni grado, successiva migrazione della Pubblica amministrazione, migrazione dei privati (aziende e singoli cittadini) con l'aiuto tecnico delle universita'. Detto cosi' sembra facile. In realta' e' quasi impossibile. Nel 'quasi' e' contenuta tutta la speranza per un futuro culturalmente libero. Il nostro futuro. Esistono esempi in cui questo e' diventato realta': il Governo do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul ha migrato da poco tantissimo software da proprietario a Libero, nel settore pubblico e nel settore privato (le banche sono ritornate finalmente all'ovile degli stabili sistemi di tipo Unix, pero' oggi con interfacce grafiche facilissime da usare). http://www.softwarelivre.rs.gov.br/index.php?menu=projeto Diffondete.

MUA questa mi è nuova, per curiosità cosa indica? ***da Appunti di Informatica Libera Per scrivere, inviare e leggere i messaggi di posta elettronica si utilizza normalmente un programma apposito, detto MUA o Mail User Agent. Programmi di questo tipo se ne possono trovare in grande quantità. Quello storicamente più importante e comunque quasi sempre presente nei sistemi Unix è Berkeley Mail, ovvero Mailx. Per l'invio dei messaggi, questo tipo di programma può usare due vie possibili: l'MDA locale, solitamente sendmail, che potrebbe ricevere il messaggio dallo standard input e provvedere da solo al recapito locale o all'invio attraverso il protocollo SMTP; l'accesso diretto a un server SMTP. Mailx è quel tipo di programma che si avvale dell'MDA locale per spedire i messaggi, mentre tutti i programmi più sofisticati si avvalgono direttamente del protocollo SMTP. La differenza tra i due approcci è importante: se non si vuole gestire la posta elettronica localmente, e si ha una casella di posta remota (come quando si fa un contratto con un provider Internet), si può fare affidamento esclusivamente su un server SMTP remoto (offerto da quello stesso provider). Volendo utilizzare Mailx, o programmi simili, si è costretti a installare anche Sendmail. La lettura della posta elettronica, di solito, è un'operazione che consiste semplicemente nell'accesso al file definito come casella postale dell'utente. Per convenzione, è bene che la variabile di ambiente MAIL contenga il percorso completo della casella di posta (il file) dell'utente.

Re: [newbie] about to give up
Hi all, and thanks to those who have replied with support (david, john, anne,joeb,alexa,marcia,jose,mark,stephan). Sorry for not replying sooner, but working very hard at the moment, and just turned my computer on today. I now have Red Hat back on, but I did a full re-install of Mandrake 9.0, and have it booting as well, in the hope I can get it working. I played around with it a bit more, by inserting red hat files into the mandrake system (johns suggestion), to see if the working RH files get it to work, but no luck. The system booted no problems, but still no internet. Anyway, I will try to answer the questions that you all asked in one email, so that it is all in one place, and also give a run-down on what my system is, and what I have done. First, the system is a gigabyte ga-83r533 motherboard, with a p4 chip. The network card is a realtek 8139 card. My router is a Alcatel Speed Touch PRO router, obviously running through the nic card (to those who have directed me to the usb drivers and text on usb modem, I don't think this is relevant in my case??) The router has all details for connection to the internet in it's internal software. If interested, here is what is in the modems internal software: PPP (VPI 8, VCI 35) ipa ipa 150.101.208.30 255.255.0.0 eth010.0.0.138 255.0.0.0 loop127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 auto DHCP domain name :lan hostname: user 10.0.0.1 When installing Mandrake, I have selected (when setting up net/internet) the ethernet option, and selected bootp/dhcp instead of entering any details. This is how Red Hat is configured (ethernet connection/dhcp) and works no probs. After this, booting into MK9, internet does not work. When it is booting, the detection of eth0 fails. Running ifconfig in MK9, shows up only the lo details, and eth0 is not running. As a result, obviously no connection. Does not matter how many different ways I configure the connection through the wizard, it still does not work, even when I select ADSL, and choose DHCP. If I run ifup eth0, it fails. When I run 'ifconfig eth0 -pointopoint 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0', it brings eth0 up, but still does no good, and when I run the internet wizard, if knocks eth0 out, and puts it down again. Just one more note, this last time of installing mandrake, I installed only the minimum (980mb something isntall, for a basic internet system, with gnome and kde) just incase something else being installed was interferring with the device. I have no firewall installed. When I bring up ifconfig in RH8, these are the addresses that come up: eth0 inet addr :10.0.0.1 Bcast 10.255.255.255 Mask 255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 lo inet addr : 127.0.0.1 Mask 255.0.0.0 Please note with the above, that when running ifconfig eth0 -pointopoint 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 in mandrake, the 'UP BROADCAST RUNNING' section has a word 'NOTRAILERS' in it. Does this have a critical part to play?? This is one difference between the RH8 and MK9 ifconfig display. Anne, as far as I know, the eth0's address is automatically assigned? (dhcp) and being the only device on the network in redhat, it gets an address of 10.0.0.1. The router/modems address is 10.0.0.138. I use this address (when eth0 is working) in my browser to get into the configuration of the router. This brings up the routers menu (which is web site design based) to configure everything. With regard to the alcatel packages, I found it, but I specifically states it is to do with usb alcatel modems, so I don't think I need it. You say I should be configuring it with a local lan number. How and where should I do this. Why should it not recognise the modems address of 10.0.0.138? I seriously think that something is wrong with the nic, not anything else. The nic works, as is proven in other o/s's, but the driver or something in MK9 may not be working, or the device configured wrongly. How do I test the connection/nic?? Joeb, as you can read above, I think this answers your questions. I will look at the net.conf file, and remove what you recommend and see if this works. Marcia, this was usb related so as far as I know, it is a different modem, and uses drivers for usb. Thanks Jose, love their easy to use wizards, except they don't seem to do much for me. I have also tried to bring up eth0 with ifconfig, but that also makes no difference. Buggers me why!!?? Mark, I wish I new what I am doing wrong!! as above, Buggers me why??!! Thanks very much, and hopefully with some help, I will yet get into Mandrake. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Change his settings back to a static IP - Samba works again, and we can ping each other - and he can't accesss the 'Net again.

Re: [newbie] about to give up
Hi Greg, This is getting to be a long story, so I'll only include the essentials from previous mails... If interested, here is what is in the modems internal software: PPP (VPI 8, VCI 35) ipa ipa 150.101.208.30 255.255.0.0 eth010.0.0.138 255.0.0.0 loop127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 auto DHCP domain name :lan hostname: user 10.0.0.1 Okay, we have an external address (150.101.208.30) and an Internal address (10.0.0.138). Do you have 10.0.0.138 as your default gateway on the Mandrake box? In /etc/sysconfig/network you should have 'GATEWAY=10.0.0.138' and 'GATEWAYDEV=eth0' When installing Mandrake, I have selected (when setting up net/internet) the ethernet option, and selected bootp/dhcp instead of entering any details. This is how Red Hat is configured (ethernet connection/dhcp) and works no probs. After this, booting into MK9, internet does not work. When it is booting, the detection of eth0 fails. Running ifconfig in MK9, shows up only the lo details, and eth0 is not running. Is your RedHat 8 installation running its own DHCP server? Do you have any messages in '/var/log/messages|grep -i dhcp' on the Mandrake box? As a result, obviously no connection. Does not matter how many different ways I configure the connection through the wizard, it still does not work, even when I select ADSL, and choose DHCP. If I run ifup eth0, it fails. When I run 'ifconfig eth0 -pointopoint 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0', it brings eth0 up, but still does no good, and when I run the internet wizard, if knocks eth0 out, and puts it down again. M, the way I read the -pointopoint keyword in the docs for ifconfig, what you are doing here is attempting to set the address for the other end of the link. Now, I haven't been following this thread until now, so I'm not sure if you've been told specifically to use -pointopoint, but I don't think that this is doing what you want... When I bring up ifconfig in RH8, these are the addresses that come up: eth0 inet addr :10.0.0.1 Bcast 10.255.255.255 Mask 255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 lo inet addr : 127.0.0.1 Mask 255.0.0.0 To me that suggests that RH is using 10.0.0.1 as gateway. If I'm wrong, please someone correct me. Here, RH is 10.0.0.1, the gateway should be the internal address of the router, which is 10.0.0.138. Please note with the above, that when running ifconfig eth0 -pointopoint 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 in mandrake, the 'UP BROADCAST RUNNING' section has a word 'NOTRAILERS' in it. Does this have a critical part to play?? This is one difference between the RH8 and MK9 ifconfig display. Google tells me that NOTRAILERS means that the interface doesn't support trailer encapsulation. Don't ask me what that means :) I don't think it is important here, however. Anne, as far as I know, the eth0's address is automatically assigned? (dhcp) and being the only device on the network in redhat, it gets an address of 10.0.0.1. The router/modems address is 10.0.0.138. I use this address (when eth0 is working) in my browser to get into the configuration of the router. This brings up the routers menu (which is web site design based) to configure everything. Forgive me from snipping from here to the end, but I think that the main problem here is DHCP. Your router needs to get its external address by DHCP from your ISP, but if it is also serving DHCP to the lan, you could have a conflict if you are also serving DHCP in Mandrake. This may not be the case, however, but I would try the following: Turn off dhcpd in Mandrake and let your nic get an IP address from the DHCP server in the router, if it has one... Otherwise, set a static IP on your nic of 10.0.0.1 and make sure that your gateway is set to 10.0.0.138 and dev eth0. I hope this helps, Kind regards, John...

[newbie] mpg123 coredumps
HI there all, This last Friday night I finally got the chance to upgrade to LM 9.0. One thing that I realized almost from the start was a problem with mpg123. At first I thought it had something to do with Fluxbox which I had to manually install (as it's not included on the CD's anymore :-( ). When I try invoke mpg123 via another program, in my case PSI sounds, each time there should be a sound (received message) I get a coredump. I traced it down to mpg123 which is configured in my PSI to run an mp3 sound. When I manually invoke the file via the console, it works fine. As I said, I thought this had something to do with Fluxbox, but when I logged into Gnome under a different account, I got the same there. It seems that as soon as mpg123 get's invoked via another program, it crashes. Upgrading mpg123 to the cooker release didn't help either, as I get the same problem. To make sure it wasn't being excluded I included the full path to the file (/usr/bin/mp3123) and the file it has to play was also given in the full path. Starting PSI via the console works, but not via a menu/shortkut. In Gnome this problem was playing an mp3 via nautilus (IE: Double-clicking on it as mpg123 is the default player). Has anyone else had this same problem, and is there a solution? It seems that Mandrake can't live without mpg123 anymore, and trying to uninstall it results in RPM wanting to delete about another 10 packages, including gnome and all (not what I'm planning of doing as the girlfriend WANTS Gnome... hehehe) Suggestions?

Re: [newbie] Gimp
John, it's actually quite simple to reduce red eys with gimp. Took me a while to work it out too... but eventually I found a page explaining how to do it. Firstly, open the photo in Gimp. Make sure you have the Layers screen open. On the Layers screen, you will see Channels tab. Click that tab, and you will see 3 highlighted things (Red, Green and Blue). Click both the Green and Blue over the picture (not on the eye_looking_icon on the left), so that only the Red is selected. Great, now go to your picture with the red-eyes (probably from a hangover hehehe) and with the airbrush and the colour black, spray over the red eyes. There, now you don't have to use shareware to fix hangovers! Oh, and for future reference, ask people to close their eyes when you take a pic... it'll save you a lot of work :-) Greetings Ralph -- Homepage: http://tuxpower.f2g.net/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] palm pilot
Yes, but it was a bit idiosyncratic to start. Let's see, from memory... I'm using serial so made a soft link from /dev/pilot to /dev/ttyS1. Configured the conduits for diary files and to-dos etc... there is a good bit in the manual about this. Remember to identify the user. Once everything you can think of is configured, close the application and kill the daemon. (Trial and error m'boy, trial and error!) Start the daemon, start the application click on the hotsync button on the app then do the same on your palm and it should work.

To make more precise changes, hold down Ctrl while clicking on the red eye. 6. Once you have removed the red eye, you are ready to save your changes.

What if you do a depmod -a, then rebuild your /boot/initrd.img so that the modules are loaded at beginning of boot: (do a mv /boot/initrd.img /boot/initrd_backup.img first) mkinitrd /boot/initrd.img 2.4.19-16mdk ...double check the name of the new initrd image in the /boot, double check your /etc/lilo.conf and make sure the image name is correct there as well, then re-run lilo, and reboot...that should load the modules via initrd when you're booting - then you'll know about duplication of the drives...then we can work something else out... -- Mon Dec 9 08:44:59 EST 2002 8:45am up 12:30, 5 users, load average: 1.61, 0.83, 0.65 .o0 linux user:267497 0o. |____ | kühn media australia | / \ /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kühn | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |/ ._/ || | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |'. `\ | | |icq: 5483808 | ;/ / | | | | smk ) /_/| |.---.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU Coralament*Best Grötens*Liebe Grüße*Best Regards*Elkorajn Salutojn The PINK SOCKS were ORIGINALLY from 1952!!

[newbie] Updating libraries
OK, this is EXTREMELY frustrating, an annoying time-consuming process the RedHat has been kind enough to deal with through their auto-updating. Regardless, Mandrake 8.2 comes with support for a number of devices that RedHat doesn't. Here's my problem: All I want to do is install an HTML editor. I'm informed the C++ compiler can't create executables. Search the 'Net, learn that I should update GCC. OK, no problem. rpmfind.net has what I need. gcc-3.2-1mdk.i586.rpm. Try to install it. Get message: binutils = 2.12.90.0.7-1mdk is needed by gcc-3.2-1mdk gcc-cpp = 3.2-1mdk is needed by gcc-3.2-1mdk libgcc = 3.2-1mdk is needed by gcc-3.2-1mdk So, I get binutils-2.12-90.0.15-1mdk.i586.rpm. Try to install that, get: libbfd-2.12.90.0.15.so is needed binutil* libopcodes-2.12.90.0.15.so is needed by binutil* Now, I could go on and on here, but you get the idea. There simply has to be a better way of doing this. I've got hours into attempting to install an HTML editor, more than enough time to FDSIK, install W98, and install 2 -3 GIGs of the applications to go what I need. :/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Write to windows partition?
Well, he states he can read the files so it is not NTFS. Root should be able to read and write, to do this as a user you need to edit the /etc/fstab entry. Can not help with that because I do not have Windows on my machine. man mount for details. The option, from memory, is umask=0. Or you could use user=nnn,umask=002 if you are the only one going to write to it. Or mess about with group ownership and permissions if you want more complicated control of access.
