Se non mi sbaglio non è possibile scrivere da lin su partizioni NTFS, ma on ci giurerei... Si, è così, infatti... tuttavia ho letto proprio oggi su PC Professionale dell'impossibiltà di un ridimensionamento non distruttivo di NTFS; riguardo a W2000 e Linux, sapevo di problemi di convivenza che cmq erano superabili, altresì mi pare di aver scorso qualche notizia recente secondo la quale il problema non sussisterebbe praticamente più; dato però che non ho W2000 ne NT o XP (invero, al momento ho solo Linux :-), no ho approfondito... bisogna tener conto che la persona che sto seguendo mi ha chiesto l'altro giorno se con Linux si usa il mouse ^__^ Corrado Guarda, io ho installato (sulla macchina da cui ti scrivo) sia xp che mdk9. La situazione è leggermente differente, nel senso che ho due hd e su uno c'è xp e sull'altro linux. Quando decisi di installare linux provai a preparare il secondo hd pre-formattandolo in ext2 e creando una partizione di swap sullo stesso con Partition Magic (versione 6). La cosa mi diede un sacco di problemi, al riavvio, rilanciando PM mi diede una marea di errori. Quindi, utilizzando il programma della mdk rasai di nuovo il secondo disco e creai una partizione per linux, una di swap e una fat32 (per lo scambio dati con xp. Fatto questo il risultato fu che xp non riconosceva la partizione fat32 che dovevo utilizzare per lo scambio. Ho rimediato con l'utility di partizionamento che ha incorporata xp (una cosa che non avevo mai utilizzato). Con questa utility è possibile ridimensionare anche partizioni ntfs - attenzione è un'affermazione puramente teorica in quanto non l'ho provata. Potresti, quindi, ridimensionare la partizione ntfs utilizzando l'utilty di xp, impostare la nuova partizione come fat32 e poi procedere all'installazione di linux nel modo canonico (cioè attraverso il boot da cd-rom di mdk). Dovrebbe funzionare. Per quanto riguarda la gestione delle partizioni ntfs da linux ti ricordo che è possibile solo leggere i dati presenti e non è possibile scriverci sopra. Per questo è consigliabile crearsi anche un mini-partizione fat32 (o fat) dove poter operare lo scambio dei dati tra i due sistemi (ovviamente se questo ti interessa). Quindi la situazione dovrebbe essere: partizione ntfs - per xp piccola partizione fat32 - per lo scambio di dati partizione ext2 (o ext3 ed altro) per linux partizione di swap Il consiglio su come procedere: - ridimensionare la partizione ntfs con l'utility di xp - creare (sempre con l'utility di xp) una piccola partizione fat32 sullo spazio rimasto - installare linux sullo spazio rimasto facendo fare a mdk il lavoro sporco di creare la partizione linux e quella di swap sullo spazio rimasto inutilizzato. Quando arrivi all'installazione di grub (o lilo) digli di installarlo sull'mbr.

[newbie-it] mdk 9.0 non naviga
Salve a tutti, e auguri di Buon Anno. Volevo esporvi questo problema. Sul mio 2° pc ho installato la distribuzione in oggetto. L'installazione è andata benissimo, però la configurazione di internet è sballata, perchè se cerco di navigare (una volta fatta la connessione kppp), o di pingare un sito, risponde picche. Allorchè mi sono messo a lavorare sule tabelle di routing ed ho risolto il problema. Ma ogni volta che riavvio il pc, devo rifare l'operazione a mano. Faccio un ifconfig, prendo l'indirizzo dinamico che associa a 'ppp0', e lo do in pasto a: route add default gw xxx.x.x.x Inutile dirsi che la procedura automatica di Control Center, non funziona, o meglio li per li funziona, ma se spengo il pc tutto ritorna come prima. Grazie e arrivederci.

Ho cercato di installare la Mdk 9 sul pc di un amico, che mi sembra sia un P4 con 256M di ram, una scheda video NVidia MX... insomma, non e' un pc cosi' vecchio o con componenti strani. Al boot dell'installazione pero' il sistema si inchioda caricando il kernel e dice che si becca un Signal 11 per via di un probabile problema hardware oppure di un bug del kernel. Ho dato un'occhiata alle impostazioni del bios ma non ho notato niente di strano: il timing della ram e' automatico, il pc non e' overcloccato... Ho provato con versioni precedenti della Mdk: la 8.2 e la 8.1 ma il risultato e' lo stesso, quindi mi sembra improbabile anche un bug del kernel, che molto probabilmente sarebbe stato sistemato. Credo si tratti di qualche problema hardware, ma non so cosa andare a controllare!! Qualcuno ha dei suggerimenti o mi sa dire dove trovare qualche informazione su questo Signal 11? Grazie mille!

When I was going thru the menu on the camera, I found a setting in which the USB mode could be changed to PC Cam is it possible your camera is set to PC Cam instead of DSC? Pulling straws here!

check if your network devise is up do # ifconfig this will tell you the IP and the Gateway of your devise your Devise should be eth0 and all the information you fill it up before you should get it displayed. if there's no eth0 or eth1 that's mean your network card is down so you should do the commond # ifup eth0 this will bring up the devise if it give you an error that's mean your network card is not properly installed (reinstall the module or fresh install) and don't forget to check your DNS IP good luck From: Freddy Baert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Network problem Date: Tue, 31 Dec 2002 13:38:00 +0100 I am having problems with configuring my network and internet connection.

Re: [newbie] Web site causing Mozilla to crash
I don't have Mozilla crashes, but I do have problems with some sites. On those sites the navigation buttons and tabs don't display. Also sometimes I see links that appear to be linked to javascript and nothing happens. As far as I know I have the relevant plugins, and the oddity is that the same sites work fine in Galeon, so I suspect that there is a but in Mozilla that only shows up in some circumstances, perhaps some combinations.

[newbie] Scroll mouse, Windows XP mounts, Fonts, Geforce 3
Ok, I'm new to the list so please take it easy on me. :-) I have a few questions for the list please: 1.How can I get my scroll mouse to work? I'm using KDE as my windows manager. 2.I would like to have my Windows XP partitions mounted when starting KDE. I would love to have a simple icon (two actually, for my 2 XP partitions) on my desktop so I can easily get to my files. 3. I read on a website a while back how to make the fonts more like those of (gulp) Windoze. I'm looking for something that's easy to read. I feel the default fonts used in KDE leave something to be desired. They are hard to read when viewing websites. 4. When installing Mandrake 9.0, it said something about my Geforce 3 but I think it said something about generic drivers. Should they be generic drivers or should I attempt to install something else?

Go into the Control Center, select Hardware then Mouse. Cilck on the type of mouse and test if it works. Most scroll mice should work OK, though your brand may not be listed - try something like generic scroll mouse if it isn't. 2.I would like to have my Windows XP partitions mounted when starting KDE. I would love to have a simple icon (two actually, for my 2 XP partitions) on my desktop so I can easily get to my files. I'm not familiar with the ins and outs of NTFS, but FAT partitions are detected automatically. 9.0 by default uses supermount, so you shouldn't need to mount them. To create an icon, you can right click on the desktop and fill in the appropriate details. Depending on how you partitioned your disk, they will be something like /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2 3. I read on a website a while back how to make the fonts more like those of (gulp) Windoze. I'm looking for something that's easy to read. I feel the default fonts used in KDE leave something to be desired. They are hard to read when viewing websites. Again, from the Control Center, choose System then Fonts, then click Get Windows Fonts. You can choose which fonts KDE uses from the KDE Control Center (not to be confused with the Mandrake one). Enabling anti-aliasing in KDE may improve the look of things. 4. When installing Mandrake 9.0, it said something about my Geforce 3 but I think it said something about generic drivers. Should they be generic drivers or should I attempt to install something else? The generic drivers work, but won't give you much if anything in the way of 3D acceleration. You can download and install nVidia's own drivers from their site (they aren't included in the Mandrake distro because they're closed source). If you have any problems instaling them, check previous posts on the subject in the archives of this list. Thanks for your time and any help is appreciated. You're welcome!

Yes - I got the fonts installed OK, but they seem to behave differently. At least, the one I've noticed is that helvetica italicised displays in a most ugly fashion, apparently 2 sizes bigger than the standard helvetica of the same nominal point, but squashed into the same space, so as to be virtually unreadable. I'll have to experiment to see if this is an isolated case. I have used it a lot in documents, so I could change the font, but it would arise fairly often. If it's just the one font I'll probably live with it, avoiding it so far as possible. I have imported both to kde and to OO all the fonts that were on windows. They are a huge number, and I'm going to try to uninstall many of them that I will probably never use, leaving just a good all-purpose selection. Are there any that I should be aware of as 'system fonts' or the like that I must not uninstall under any circumstances? Anne Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Diamond Stealth Video Card, X and WaitForFifo
I'm afraid that XFdrake didn't work. I didn't see where I could pick the chip set. In the list for video card, there was my card again (Diamond Stealth Video 2500) and the card that XFdrake thinks I should pick, (Sis 5597). However, neither of these settings worked. The closest thing to what you recommended was a generic XFree 4.0|apm selection. This didn't work either. I like the XFdrake interface, the only problem is, it doesn't seem to work for me. I'm thinking I need to change the XF86Config file by hand, but I'm not exactly sure how to do this. I've got a rought idea based on the book I have, but it doesn't seem to work. Is there a source of information for configuring the file that you recommend? If not, I can hunt around some more on the XFree86.org. Thanks, Ross P.S. This whole thing is getting rather frustrating. I am thinking of spending the money on either a different video card or different Linux vendor. I assumed that the vendor differences where minor, so I chose Mandrake because it was cheap and easy to install. I'm thinking of shelling out the $40 for RedHat instead.

Can you do a little ascii sketch of how things are connected? When you say I can ping both nics in the Mandrake box from the client that makes me wonder if you have both router nics plugged into the same hub.

RE: [newbie] Router/firwall
Do you have the client computer set for internet connection as a static IP address? I have not been able to get my firewall/router to work properly without setting the client machines to dhcp.

Re: [newbie] Router/firwall
Dennis, that almost was it. But not quite.I have a static IP on the client 192.168.1.50 I tried to reconfigure the Internet Connection sharing and it would not let me change any of the settings. It defaulted to 192.168.1.1 as the dns server and prveiously I had the ISP dns server there. When I restarted using 192.168.1.1 as the dns server, all works fine. So from my thinking, it appears that this ICS automatically installs named as a cacheing dns server and the only way it will work is using the internal nic ip as the dns server. I still don't understand why that prevented ping from going outside. But at least it is now working. Thanks all for you input on this problem. - Original Message - From: Myers, Dennis R NWO To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Tuesday, December 31, 2002 11:52 AM Subject: RE: [newbie] Router/firwall Do you have the client computer set for internet connection as a static IP address?

Lines of text are squashed up, and in some cases overwrite each other. Comparing that output with the same pages printed in KWord is like comparing camembert and sh**. The only problem there is that duplexing is not working properly - but I think I've had it working before, so I'll play with that one.

[newbie] I think I did it
Hi All, I am just checking to see if this actually works. I think I got everything up and running. I did, however, reinstall everything 3 times before I figured out that I had to type linux at the boot promt. Speaking of which, I chose graphical lilo but it is only text, anyone know why? Also, I have a Canon S750. Mandrake recognizes it as such but it is not listed in the list. Anyone know which one I should choose?? I bought another HD today so I could install Win98 and Linux as a dual boot on it. Disregarding the 2 extra times I installed Mandrake 9 (misunderstanding on boot up, I thought it had failed) It was easier to install Mandrake9 than Win98. Mandrake recognized almost everything and set it up. Windows is installed but I still have the nightmare of getting all the drives installed.

[newbie] a poem for the new year :-)
Greetings everyone. This isn't one of my dumb questions for a change. I wanted to share this poem with you all. I hope that's OK, and that you find it an inspiration, as I have. Innermost Sense of Purpose The sacred flow within us That draws us into life Teaches us to be grateful, For the blessings and the strife. The path of human experience Is based on our desire to be, Using the bitter, and the sweet, To form a balanced reality. The innermost sense of purpose Is in grasping the eternal flow, Stepping on the path with praise, Respecting how we learn to grow. Feeling the pull of Creation, As it beckons, calling our names, Setting aside all separation, Praising the Oneness we reclaim. Is our secret, innermost purpose To mend the polarity within? Can we find human wholeness And allow separation to end? Each individual holds the answer, And each spirit must decide, To praise the truth of Oneness, Allowing ultimate unity to abide. --Jamie Sams (from Earth Medicine) Best regards to you all in a new year of possibilities! --Angus Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.--James Thurber *** *Reg.
