[newbie-it] Mdk 9.0 e java
Ciao a tutti, da alcune settimane ho installato la nuova Mandrake 9.0 (PowerPack). Per navigare uso l'ottimo Konqueror (versione 3.0.3 su KDE 3.0.3). Nella versione PowerPack sono contenuti i pacchetti del Java 1.3.1_04 di Sun. Ma non mi soddisfano un granchè: molte applets non funzionano, non funzionano *tutti* i menù basati su java, ed alcuni siti si aprono in maniera non corretta per via del non funzionare delle applet java che li gestiscono. Voi quale versione di Java usate con la 9.0? E come va? Grazie in anticipo per la risposta...

sulla stessa directory dove avevo generato il file di configurazione .config

in /usr/src/linux ma in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386 (l'ho trovato non perch

i moduli

[newbie-it] AcerAspire1300+ACPI+Mdk9eKernel
Salve a tutti, Su consiglio di miKe riassumo il problema che mi ha afflitto per mesi, nel caso qualcun altro si dovesse trovare nella stessa situazione. Sul Notebook Acer Aspire 1300 avevo notato che il supporto APM non rilevava la batteria e segnava il pc sempre attaccato alla corrente. Questo creava un eccessivo surriscaldamento degli elementi e la continua attivazione della ventola di raffredamento. In http://stud3.tuwien.ac.at/~e9725694/laptop/linuxaspire1300.html, ho trovato la testimonianza di un linuxuser che aveva installato Debian sul notebook in questione. Aveva dovuto ricompilare il kernel per attivare il supporto ACPI. Ho trovato inoltre nell'archivio della mailing list di Oltrelinux, http://archive.oltrelinux.com/, una interessante discussione su questo argomento. La riassumo: nei laptop Acer Aspire serie 1300, e si pensa in tutta la serie Aspire, non c'è l'APM! Questi laptop regolano il funzionamento della batteria e connessi solo con ACPI. Il kernel 2.4.19-16mdk della Mandrake 9.0 ha attivato il supporto APM; e dunque di questo supporto non sappiamo cosa farcene sui laptop in questione. Per il corretto funzionamento del nostro laptop abbiamo bisogno dunque di disattivare il supporto APM, ed attivare il supporto ACPI. Per questo dobbiamo agire sul kernel. Ci sono due possibilità a riguardo: 1) Scaricare da http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~quintela/acpi/, il kernel mdk con supporto ACPI ed installarlo. 2) Ricompilare il kernel 2.4.19-16mdk. Ho optato per la seconda soluzione. Nella distribuzione standard, e in tutte le altre naturalmente, si trova il pacchetto rpm con il kernel-source, si installa e poi si passa alla configurazione del nuovo kernel; in general setup si -disattivano- le voci che riguardano APM e si -attivano- quelle relative ad ACPI. Se si lasciano attivate le voci che riguardano il supporto APM e si attivano inoltre le voci che riguardano ACPI, come ho fatto durante i tentativi, il sistema non funzionarà poiché per motivi inspiegabili viene attivato solo il supporto APM di cui, come detto, non sappiamo che farcene. Con il supporto ACPI attivato il notebook funziona correttamente; tuttavia tale supporto è in fase sperimentale: a) il laptop non va né in stanby né in sospendi. b) le informazioni su stato, livello e durata della batteria non vengono aggiornate continuamente. c) La temperatura è mantenuta ad un livello accettabile. Ciao

What I do for some folders is right-click on them, select Properties, then choose expire messages. There's a few options, you can choose whether to expire only read or unread messages after x days. In this context, expiring messages means deleting them. So you can set to expire messages in sent mail after 60 days as such. I'm guessing manual filtering is when you apply filters to specific messages by using Message-Apply Filters (or Ctrl-J). Hope this helps!

What I do for some folders is right-click on them, select Properties, then choose expire messages. There's a few options, you can choose whether to expire only read or unread messages after x days. In this context, expiring messages means deleting them. So you can set to expire messages in sent mail after 60 days as such. Tried that, but it didn't do anything. I'm guessing manual filtering is when you apply filters to specific messages by using Message-Apply Filters (or Ctrl-J). That seems a sledgehammer to crack a nut. It seems just as easy to highlight the message(s), move to etc... or delete. Anne Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

SV: [Fwd: Re: [newbie] Which is better:KDE or Gnome?]
This is off-topic, but a characterization of free software practices and sharing as more republican or libertarian in nature is also way off. Libertarians--which are really Republicans without a desire to regulate people's private practices (drug use, sexual practices)--are primarily concerned with the defense of private property from any state intervention. Free software undermines private property by keeping software in free, unrestrained public use. Free software is communally shared property. Libertarians are not opposed to regulation universally, only state intervention. Libertarians support unfree software licensing for example, and call any state support of free software intervention in the free market. Not exactly a recipe for cooperation. While I'm sure some libertarians depart from this ruthless attack on freedom, it's important to remember that the principal interest of libertarians is not protecting freedom, it is to protect private property. Of course, they do equate private property with freedom, but that's another discussion. Now, one of the reasons why I think RMS is unreasonable is this attitude that he has expressed that he wants to ban all other licenses the Free Software-ones. Personally I don't think I or anyone else has the right to tell a coder which license he/she is gonna use or not. What we should concentrate on instead should be to convince this person that GPL or BSD is a better license to use. /Anders Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Note that this must be a link to the javaplugin_oji.so, copying the *.so to the /usr/lib/netscape/plugins directory will NOT work--same for mozilla.

(Kaffee should be o.k., but you can uninstall it using the package manager and re-make your path to the Sun version as a last resort--since this is only for web browsers that shouldn't be necessary). I'm trying to determine just what mods the rpm installer made to your directories and links. Everyone else reading this--I recommend that you use the version from Blackdown if you must have a JVM because it is a bzipped tarball and not a *.bin or rpm. If you use tarballs you can have more control of the install. Installing java ain't really hard--honest. 1. Download the bz2 tarball and put it in /usr/local then cd to /usr/local 2. Unpack it with the command tar -xvvIf name_of_tarball (note that is an eye not an ell -- a directory /usr/local/java_version_directory will be created) 3. ln -s /usr/local/java_version_directory/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla plugins 4. Repeat for netscape (note to use the proper plugin directory--moz and netscape are different) I don't use Galeon--you are on your own for that If you must have a real JVM for some 3rd party program (not very likely, but possible) remove Kaffee from your system. 1. open /etc/profile with your favorite editor 2. Add the line: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/java_version_directory/bin (this sets the variable PATH to the previous PATH and adds the new line to it) 3. Add the line: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java_version_directory 4. Reload /etc/profile If none of this works for you, I've exhausted my suggestions, but I assure you, it has worked for me. Well, I've exhausted all of my possibilities, none of the java installs will work, Sun or Blackdown or Netscape. I've also noticed that Konqueror file manager crashes sometimes when I click on a Mozilla directory. There's something very wrong with my installation.

Re: [newbie] Monitor setup

David I have a sort of weird situation; I didn't know it was possible to overclock a monitor, but that's what I was doing to the old one. It was about 7 years old, part of a factory system with my 2nd computer, and when I switched to Linux (Mdk 8.1, 900 MHz, nVidia card, etc) I kept the monitor. It seemed to be working fine, and I didn't need the extra expense. Except... Occasionally if I actually shut the monitor down and left it overnight, the system would freeze unrecoverable. The monitor acted like it was getting no signal, and there was no way to kill the X-server and recover it; I had to cold boot, which invariably caused a fsck. The strange bit was that if I left the monitor on and let it go to standby/sleep, it would be fine the next morning. So I learned to leave it on. Uptimes stood around a month or so, barring the occasional thunderstorm or vacation. It finally started screwing around whether I shut it off or not, so I got a new monitor; I was tired of dealing with a 14 anyway. So I got a new-to-me monitor, but there is no manual. It's a Dell/Sony Trinitron 17 (Model D1726T-HS). I've found some documentation online for it but dealing with new hardware isn't something I've really had to get a grip on before (I still haven't even bothered to get my nVidia card working). I managed to completely mangle my XFree86 configuration last night, and then got it working again under 800x600x16m, which is where I was at before (though without the overclocking, thankfully). When I first set it up I got a virtual screen - larger than my display. I was aiming for 1024x768, and apparently that is what I got...sort of.

That's the whole reason why the free download and virtual no cost option exists; the poor folks. I thought that was a forgone conclusion and not something that needed to be elaborated on. We aren't talking about the poor folks here. We're talking about the freeloaders. The point that is being made that free software is not free; there's blood and sweat going into this distro, there's people that loved and worked for this company, and had to be sacrificed for the sake of the survival of the distro, and there's the survivors going home every night from Mandrake wondering seriously about their future and their groceries. Plus they are working their asses off cause there aren't enough people there to handle the workloads anymore; *that* happens to be the NOT FREE part. For those that have the finances and are making use of Mandrake every day without giving anything back, that's called freeloading. The real arrogance around here is taking somebody else's hard earned blood work and using it to your advantage when you have the money to supply support but don't when people are being laid off and the Mandrake club is out there for the cost of a magazine subscription. I don't understand this either. Yes, there will be a few some people out there who genuinely can't afford it, and hardship circumstances should be a contingency. But Mandrake isn't that expensive. A magazine subscription, ONE dinner out, a couple of movies, a new hardback book... is that really so much to ask someone to give up for supporting something they believe in? Sure, it's 'free' and open source, but the economy of the 1990s that led to the huge surge in OSS isn't there anymore; business models need to be viable today in order to continue. If you like what Mandrake does, both with software and corporate policy, then support them. Otherwise - of course there are other distros out there. My next investment is either 9.0 once the boxed set arrives here in the heartland, or waiting for my gf's cd burner to arrive and burning my own copy, then using the money I would have spent on the box into the Club.

Re: [newbie] Interesting article reviewing MDK v9.0
I am a definite newbie to the world of Linux. I have tinkered with it in the past but always had issues that prevented me from fully jumping on board. I have been dealing with Windows since I got into computers in the early 90's. I am the guy that my friends (and their friends) call when there windows computer goes haywire (free tech support). I am no expert on Windows but I can find my way around and fix many of the common problems that pop up. I have helped friends (and myself) reinstall windows more times than I care to remember. I said the above just to show you that I am actually qualified to jump in on this thread. I bought a new hard drive for the purposes of tackling Linux again (with Mandrake9). I wanted a dual boot system (Win98 MD9). My windows partition is still not up and running (no sound, no Internet, video in basic mode). Mandrake9 was up and running within 5 min after install (it took me that long to find the papers that had my mail setting and computer name - cable internet connection). Now you tell me which was easier to install? The problem comes from the steep learning curve from Win to Linux. As I get into it again, some of it is coming back to me. I still have a long way to go to be as efficient in Linux as I am in Windows. I do know that I want to get away from Windows altogether. The way things look so far, it looks like I may be able to with MD9. So I plug away. First order of business is to tackle wine. I can say that if Linux continues to mature as it has and MS continues their idiotic policies, more of us will join you. Do not be afraid of a less than perfect review. Jump for joy for a favorable one. You are gaining ground.

In the first place I think people do discount how long it took to get windows expertise. More important than that, I do wonder about some of these self-styled experts. To state that it was necessary to use an Expert install in order to keep his partitions is blatant b***sh**. Many other comments suggest to me that the user is not prepared to learn anything, wants everything on a plate. OK - but accept that you have no control at all if you do. I have long held that a newbie to windows gets a pc with windows installed. He has no choice, and the limited choice available to him is not apparent unless he takes the trouble to learn about it - and many do not. The reviewer is right that those initial problems are tackled by vendors or geeky relatives/friends. The main difference with linux is that the user is unlikely, in many instances, to be offered it by the vendor, and by the numbers game, unlikely to have friends/relatives sufficiently expert to want to be responsible for his system. I'm not pleading perfection in 9.0. nor for that matter in Mandrake, and I know there is a need to have a need-list (re fixes or improvements) as well as a wish-list (by which I mean the less urgent).

First, HTML messages are much larger than plain text, and that is a problem to many list members who are pay by-the-minute. Second, some of us use text-based mail readers which make it very difficult to read the message due to all of the html coding. 2. Please blank out your reply-to field; otherwise, some replies may not get to the list but will only to you, and that defeats the purpose of a mail list; in other cases, you will receive two copies of the reply -- one directly to you, and one through the list. My understanding is that the reply-to field is used when you wish to have any replies directed to another address than you are using to send the mail.

I have GF4Ti (but drivers for GeForce1 not generic, because it doesn work when i set it to GF4 generic - i don't know why), monitor samtron which does 100Hz in 1024x768, so what should i do ?? is it caused by drivers ?? raq I had the same problem. What I found out is that some of the PNP monitors do not respond correctly when interrogated by the OS. When you set the resolution to 1024X768 the monitor will incorrectly tell the OS that it cannot do that resolution and the OS will default back to 800X600. Anyway.. this is the problem that I had with my monitor. So, goto Mandrake Control Center - Hardware - Monitor, and select a generic monitor resolution that is compatible with your monitor. (You may need the monitor specs to do this.) Then you can go to the Resolution setting (same place) and select the higher resolution that you want. Hope this helps -- It fixed my problem.

Re: [newbie] what´s the best modem for Linux ?
Get a US Robotics 5610b (56K V .92 Performance Pro). It costs between fifty and eighty dollars depending on where you purchase it, it officially works with Linux. A bit expensive, but after years of modem frustrations, it seems more than worth it to me. You can't go wrong with this one. On Sun, 2003-01-05 at 06:58, K.

On Sunday 05 January 2003 12:11 pm, Russ wrote: I am a definite newbie to the world of Linux. I have tinkered with it in the past but always had issues that prevented me from fully jumping on board. I have been dealing with Windows since I got into computers in the early 90's. I am the guy that my friends (and their friends) call when there windows computer goes haywire (free tech support). I am no expert on Windows but I can find my way around and fix many of the common problems that pop up. I have helped friends (and myself) reinstall windows more times than I care to remember. I said the above just to show you that I am actually qualified to jump in on this thread. I bought a new hard drive for the purposes of tackling Linux again (with Mandrake9). I wanted a dual boot system (Win98 MD9). My windows partition is still not up and running (no sound, no Internet, video in basic mode). Mandrake9 was up and running within 5 min after install (it took me that long to find the papers that had my mail setting and computer name - cable internet connection). Now you tell me which was easier to install? The problem comes from the steep learning curve from Win to Linux. As I get into it again, some of it is coming back to me. I still have a long way to go to be as efficient in Linux as I am in Windows. I do know that I want to get away from Windows altogether. The way things look so far, it looks like I may be able to with MD9. So I plug away. First order of business is to tackle wine. I can say that if Linux continues to mature as it has and MS continues their idiotic policies, more of us will join you. Do not be afraid of a less than perfect review. Jump for joy for a favorable one. You are gaining ground.

I'm sorry I read it though. The best part for me was reading the responses to his article. ;) Some of them amazed me - some made me angry. In the first place I think people do discount how long it took to get windows expertise. More important than that, I do wonder about some of these self-styled experts. To state that it was necessary to use an Expert install in order to keep his partitions is blatant b***sh**. Many other comments suggest to me that the user is not prepared to learn anything, wants everything on a plate. OK - but accept that you have no control at all if you do. I have long held that a newbie to windows gets a pc with windows installed. He has no choice, and the limited choice available to him is not apparent unless he takes the trouble to learn about it - and many do not. The reviewer is right that those initial problems are tackled by vendors or geeky relatives/friends. The main difference with linux is that the user is unlikely, in many instances, to be offered it by the vendor, and by the numbers game, unlikely to have friends/relatives sufficiently expert to want to be responsible for his system. I'm not pleading perfection in 9.0. nor for that matter in Mandrake, and I know there is a need to have a need-list (re fixes or improvements) as well as a wish-list (by which I mean the less urgent). It made interesting reading, though, even if I did keep thinking 'funny, I didn't get that problem'. Anne I agree with Russ and like Russ I am the one that family and friends call for Windows support. I was a die-hard if somewhat disgruntled Windows fan until XP and Palladium started to hit the news. I am now completely off of Windows on my computer (my wife and sons are a different story). The learning curve is steep but in part because I keep wanting to look at things in a Windows fashion. I am becoming more comfortable and somewhat more proficient with Linux. I have SAMBA, VNC, WINE, CROSSOVER (demo for the moment) installed and have loved every minute of the learning experience (even the exasperating times). Course, I have bought 3 books on the subject matter and need to buy at least one more. Linux is reaching a point that the slightly above average computer user can now learn what to do and how to do it. The news articles are encouraging. And I honestly believe (because I know that I have), its the support people that are/will have a grassroots impact on the way people are thinking about the Linux distros.

Re: [newbie] Re:Setting up Scanssh
With gcc and a few other applications Mandrake supply two versions. The default gcc3.2, and the older tried and tested gcc2.96 It is possible to have one or both installed at once. Which one gets used depends on the symlink /usr/bin/gcc which points to /etc/alternatives/gcc which itself is a symlink either to /usr/bin/gcc-3.2 or /usr/bin/gcc-2.96 So depending on how your symlink chain is set up you will use one compiler or the other. If your symlink chain is broken you will get the 'gcc not found message' Could that be your problem? derek On Sunday 05 Jan 2003 7:04 pm, Ralph M.

[newbie] Samba
Thanks to everybody for the help. The samba server is running and I could install the shared printer on my window boxes. One problem, when I want to print something from the windows pc nothing happens. Is it possible to view the print jobs on the linux pc and what can be wrong. On the linux box the printer is setup as a local printer, maybe this is the reason ? Thanks Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] installed and installable packages/updates...discrep ancy??

Charles ** Charles, thanks for your help here. I am getting more confused as I go along unfortunately. When I rpm -q'd the packages in question, the only thing that was shown for output to my command was the same thing that I just typed in. I thought this was indicating that the package in question was already installed. However, when I rpm -q'd a list of packages that were suspect, and sent that output to a file..I got a different story from my query. (why??) This is what I got from my query: rpm -q packages in question rpms.txt package devfsd-1.3.25-19.3mdk, is not installed package arts-1.0.3-7.1mdk, is not installed package kdelibs-3.0.3-30.1mdk, is not installed package kdegraphics-3.0.3-11.1mdk, is not installed package python-2.2.1-14.2mdk, is not installed package galeon-1.2.5-8.1mdk, is not installed package urpmi-4.0-20.1 is not installed When I checked in MCC Install Software, using the method you described, I find that all of these packages are found in Updates...my update source. These packages are installedI don't think I would have an operating system w/o some of them. It must be the updates then that aren't installed. I can distinctly remember installing them however. :-/ I am very confused right now as to what I should do here.

After his death, a diary was found along Gerald Schnauz's belongings written in the second person and apparently intended as an open letter to his father. It includes the names of his victims, the women he desired to save. My name is contained in the last entry. I have no further explanation for the existence of the photographs, nor am I confident one is forthcoming. My captivity forced me to understand and even empathize with Gerry Schnauz.
