Eventually the connect limit may be reached and then manual action to reconnect is required. If this sequence is repeated several times then you may see BLACKLISTED in the log window. This is an action taken internally by the modem (not Freeserve getting annoyed because you are trying too hard to log in!) which will automatically clear after a time period - the intention being to limit the load on the telephone network. It may be possible to send an AT data sequence to the modem to display and/or clear the blacklist. Adesso cerca tu di scoprire quale è il comando AT da dare al modem. :-) ciao, Andrea Vi ringrazio molto delle notizie fornitemi, Per fortuna la Blacklist si è ripulita da sola dopo un paio di giorni...

Ehm, son stato un po' impreciso qui, quella frase va intesa in questo modo: AFAIR dovrebbero essere fisicamente all'interno di una directory separata nei sorgenti del kernel, nel senso che sotto /usr/src/linux* 'dovrebbe' esserci appunto una directory chiamata alsa-*, ma questa in via predefinita _non_ viene utilizzata dai pacchettizzatori MDK per i moduli precompilati del kernel, e' messa a disposizione per comodita' di chi desideri utilizzare questi driver alternativi.

Pensavo fosse qualcosa di aggiunto da snd, che e' il programmone che uso per gestire gli audio. comunque ho controllato, in mezzo ai vari snd* quello che mi dici tu non c'e'. Ergo... dici sndconfig? quello serve a rilevare la presenza della scheda ed a caricare il modulo OSS necessario (non funziona per gli ALSA). Fino alla prossima serie stabile del kernel (per intenderci la futura 2.6.x) gli ALSA andranno compilati a manina e separatamente rispetto al kernel, con gli appositi comandi; dopo prenderanno sicuramente il posto dei vecchi OSS. -- GNU/Linux Slackware 9.0beta1 ** k 2.4.20-acpi+preempt LU #210970 LM #98222 SU #12583 E chi ha detto che gli spammer non possano essere bruciati vivi? ; Two wrongs don't make a right, but two Wrights did make an airplane.

[newbie-it] OT: Compilazione Lame in Windows
Ciao a tutti, scusate l'OT, ma siete l'unici che conosco che sappiano leggere i risultati di una compilazione. Stavo tentando di compilare Lame sotto WinME seguendo le istruzioni indicate in README.B32 (consigliato dal file README in quanto come compilatore ho Borland C++ compiler versione freeware). Secondo le istruzioni, il comando da eseguire e' make -fmakefile.b32 (senza virgolette, dalla cartella dove si trova il codice sorgente di Lame e assumendo che che il percorso di make sia nel PATH [ed e' il mio caso]). Purtroppo non funziona. Allego il file con i messaggi di errore. Ho provato sia con la versione (di Lame) 3.93.1 che la 3.93 (il file allegato si riferisce alla 3.93.1 in quanto, con la 3.93, quando cercavo di eseguire il comando reindirizzando l'output in un file txt [make -fmakefile.b32risultato.txt], mi veniva detto che il comando e' errato [malgrado abbia usato lo stesso comando con la 3.93.1]). Se non volete rispondere in lista (comprensibile visto che e' OT), potreste rispondermi in privato. Grazie in anticipo.

Fiddling with things with both the expert novice controls I found out that I had to disable DHCP/Bootp enable a static IP addy. WTH?

What linux wants is the static IP of your computer the gateway address whether it is your gateway or the IPs gateway and the IPs DNS addresses. So if you set up your internal computer with a 192.168.0.x type address then you should point it at the IP address such as 68.96.13.xxx and give it the IPs primary and secondary DNS numbers.

RE: [newbie] Mandrake 9 firewall question
Thank you for everyting! Cheers, Andrei gShield doesn't need an RPM.. It comes as a tarball... unzip the tarball and dump everything in it to /etc/firewall Then edit the one config file.. /etc/firewall/gShield.conf (it tells you exactly what to do in there, most answers are 'OPEN' 'CLOSE' or 'FORWARD') In most cases the defaults are good... The reasons I like it are: 1. Simplicity:.. you don't need to understand any of it to get it working and configure it to your needs. 2. Power:, portforwarding, DMZ's tcpcookies and tons of other stuff. (but you don't need to play with that them you don't need them.) 3. See know evil hear no evil.. once its working, it just works,, no need to mess around and if you need to change something, you just edit a human readable conf file.. its brilliant in its simplicity. 4. There is a GUI configurator available on their site as well, but I've never used it and don't need it. 5. Takes about 2 minutes from unzipping it to have a working firewall.

Re: [newbie] Linux installation Router Advice
You know, I recently had this problem on my LM9 installation, and never managed to get my router working with it. You probably will, but I could not be buggered trying any more. It beat me like a dog! But this is something I feel Mandrake need to really address, as my Red Hat system configured automatically, be it with a dhcp setting on my router, or using a static address. Never phased it one bit. I have never needed to touch a setting in RH for the internet, and I think this is were mandrake need to be with their install as well. I am waiting and hoping their next release has this all sorted, as I notice a number of people having real difficulty with it, not just me.

Alex, Yes, thank you it works! However, the cost is to loose my normal cd reader function and this is a high price. It will pay me to go to the 'command line' when needed. A pity there seems no way around this? I really thank you for your input. Malcolm Candlish.

[newbie] CDROM troubles
Hi folks, sorry for the FAQ. But, I've read lots of howto's and tons of threads on the subject in various boards, and am more confused than when I started. The trouble is with my IDE CD-ROM burner. I'm not trying to burn at this point, just read data CDs reliably. Right now it's hit and miss. An example: ls /mnt/cdrom - I see the files. cp /mnt/cdrom/*.jpg /home/me/documents/ - Some files make it, some don't ls /mnt/cdrom - I see a list of files, but each says it's an invalid file or directory. I believe I need to switch to ide-scsi from ide-cd, but I'm not sure. Is there a simple way to get this working? The howto's I've read seem to require a mastery of Linux I just don't have.

Re: [newbie] Digital cameras
Anne, for what it is worth, this is what I did in order to get the .jpg and .avi files off my Fuji FinePix A303 (early x-mas gift for the family!) All I had to load was usb-storage, the same other two you have loaded; usb-uhci and usbcore were already loaded - I have no idea about usb-scsi and why it is working for me without it. I created /mnt/camera as stated before (although I am not sure if this was really needed because after a re-boot I had /mnt/removable somehow also) and then while the camera was turned on and connected to the usb port I rebooted. I ran dmesg just to make sure after the system booted up and it did id the Fuji camera. Then I mounted the contents of the cameras memory; mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera (even though while browsing /dev I did not see sda1) and all the .jpg's and 1 .avi file I took with the camera were buried in a couple of sub-folders inside/mnt/camera I have been following the list here on this subject and would not have been able to get as far as I did with out all your help list members. I plan on using the script that someone provided earlier, but noticed I will have to update it to match my requirements. That is another day in the future. Not too sure if this is any help - just pointing out what worked for me. Good Luck.

I wrote to this list that I had lost my LS120 which had been sda, and it stayed lost for some considerable time (by which I had got desperate enough to start a paid Expert session, though that has not got me any replies), but coming back yesterday I find it is recognised again. There are some problems, which I'll tackle in another thread, but I can't understand what has changed. After all, I've been away and no-one else has been using the machine. So it begs the question How does a special device get recognised? What can be done to initiate this process? As I said earlier, my LS120 is sda, so I expect the camera will become sdb, but it's not there. Am I presuming wrongly? Should I be looking for something else?

All I had to load was usb-storage, the same other two you have loaded; usb-uhci and usbcore were already loaded - I have no idea about usb-scsi and why it is working for me without it. I created /mnt/camera as stated before (although I am not sure if this was really needed because after a re-boot I had /mnt/removable somehow also) and then while the camera was turned on and connected to the usb port I rebooted. I ran dmesg just to make sure after the system booted up and it did id the Fuji camera. dmesg seems to see it, it certainly lists enough devices, but doesn't seem to know much about them. The 4-port hub has printer, scanner, LS120 drive and now camera. Then I mounted the contents of the cameras memory; mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera (even though while browsing /dev I did not see sda1) and all the .jpg's and 1 .avi file I took with the camera were buried in a couple of sub-folders inside/mnt/camera Because the LS120 is seen as sda I assume that this has to be sdb.

Where you have a limited number of network aware devices ( such as other computers, printers, etc ), it is not necessary to have DHCP as a server OR as a client. All devices can be configured with static internal IP addresses such as 192.168.x.x. Where DHCP really shines is when you have laptops or other devices coming and going on your home network.

Re: [newbie] looking for easy, cheap, way to share files,cable connection between two boxes
Option 1. You can connect two computers together with a x-over cable. This does require a 2nd NIC in your 8.2 box. The advantage is that you don't have to buy hub or switch. Also, you only really need to worry about having a firewall on the 8.2 box. It will protect the other box. The disadvantage is that if the 8.2 box is down for some reason, you lose Internet connectivity for the other computer. You'll also have to configure Internet Sharing. Not a big deal. Option 2. Buy a hub or switch, connect both computers and your cable modem to it. Have your cable company provide an additional IP for this second box. I know Cox charges something like 6 or 7 bucks for the second IP. Some side notes - With only 3 devices on a hub, you shouldn't see many collisions. The prices for NICs, hub and switches are so close (for decent ones) that it's pretty much a wash as far as price is concerned.

Some motherboards are funny about assigning resources depending on what PCI slot is used.

[newbie] file types/associations
Greetings all, I have a question about file types and associations. I see in CC in the file associations, when you expand, say the audio section, there is a listing of known types. What I would like to know is what the seeming duplication of types is about? There will be a listing for say, midi, then down in the list midi will appear again as x-midi. I'm wondering why is there two, and, if I want to edit file type or association, do I have to edit both, or just the x one? Is the x for X-windows or is that too obvious? I'm a bit confused as usual. :-/ TIA for any insight on this. :-) --Angus Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.--James Thurber *** *Reg.

My Mandrake 9 was purchased in France, my computer and DVD driver are US, but built in Japan... Is there a software out there which will run encrypted DVDs (whatever this means)?

RE: [newbie] How do I start kds?
capital X in Xtart.. see my previous email. You don't need to reboot.. just logout and back in again, and you should see a message telling you what to do to get the menu. (in fact you just need to type: Xtart (again with the capital X.) rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Scott Simonson Sent: Monday, 16 December 2002 7:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] How do I start kds? urpmi xtart doesn't do anything.

I think while installing Mandrake 9.0 I said no to boot into KDS. Now I start Mandrake and login but want to see the GUI instead. What is LILO? How do I use that? Do I want to use it?

Maybe you have done something so you can omit -t vfat when you mount, unknown to me. No, the sd bit means SCSI disk.

Under /dev I see my Mitsumi as scd0 and the LS120 as sda. I have had no success yet with the Canon - that can wait until later. Does this output give any pointers as to where I should find it? Not at all sure what is going on in your system Anne - from your posts it would appear that SCSI emulation is working. Does /sbin/lsmod list scsi_mod and ide-scsi? The earlier tip about mounting the partition is important (/dev/sda1 or /dev/sdb1 rather than the device /dev/sda or /dev/sdb). My serial digital camera needs to be set to SETUP for downloading images. Does PLAY correspond to SETUP on your camera do you know? PLAY sounds correct; could mean playback. As for the error messages from your LS120 without the medium, that is probably normal. dmesg gives similar warnings when my JAZ disk is not loaded. Any type of drive supporting removable media should report the same when the storage medium is absent. Are you saying that the LS120 is not working any more or have you just now noticed the warning messages? Cheers Len Lawrence Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
