[newbie-it] Telecom tutela i suoi interessi

Ieri mi sono accorto che nessuno dei miei server rispondeva + e, dopo aver verificato che tutti i vari servizi fossero attivi e funzionanti ho lanciato ifconfig (l'equivalente di ipconfig di winzozz)... INCREDIBILE! Mi avevano cambiato l'inidirizzo IP!

Credevo che con un po di precauzioni e un buon gruppo di continuita' fosse possibile aggirare l'assegnazione dinamica dell'IP (x lo meno salvo reboot della macchina) e invece NADA! Se voglio un indirizzo statico devo pagare.

Re: [newbie-it] Errori con X
MDK 9.0 ( Ma l'errore compariva anche con la 8.2) e della versione di X che stai usando. Dal messaggio d'errore sembra che il server grafico, direi un 4.2, Ciao Benedetto, mi e' passato davanti un post in cui ti suggerivano modifiche al kernel. Onestamente non sono in grado di darti indicazioni in questo senso ma posso provare a suggerirti una strada alternativa, ovvero provare ad un utilizzare il server SVGA (e quindi un driver generico SVGA) o l'XF86_FBDev del 3.3.6 (e quindi il FrameBuffer) Per scoprire quale driver stai usando ora basta che ti sposti nella /etc/X11 e digiti un bel ls -l X L'output dovrebbe assomigliare a qualcosa del genere. X - ../../usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 Dai CD della MDK installati uno dei due server di cui sopra. rpm -Uhv nome-de-lpacchetto.rpm e dopo aver cambiato nome al vecchio X, crea un nuovo collegamento al server che hai appena installato con il comando. ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/nome-del-server-X Un bel startx ti dira' se l'esperimento e' andato a buon fine.

Enrico Ciao, Mandrake è uscita allegata ad alcune riviste ormai qualche mese fa.. quindi non credo che ti sarà facile trovarle ancora in giro. Ti è più facile cercare di contattare qualche utente della tua città e chiedergli di fartene una copia. Ovviamente, accertati che la copia sia gratuita (salvo piccolo contributo per rimborso spese): è inutile che siamo tutti qui a lodare il software libero e ad arrabbiarci se MandrakeSoft cerca di avviare qualche iniziativa commerciale compatibile con lo spirito del free software, se poi ci sono i furbi che si rivendono i cd comprati o scaricati da internet.. al di là dei profili legali (non è questa la sede), si tratta quanto meno di coerenza... ;) Se sei di Roma, fammi un fischio (virtuale).

Salve ragazzi, leggevo in http://www.repubblica.it/online/scienza_e_tecnologia/microsoft/codici/codici.html che la Microsoft svelerà i sorgenti, ma solo ai goveni e alle aziende, sotto previo contratto firmato tra le due parti (Msoft ed altri), con il quale questi altri si impegnano a tenere segreti i sorgenti in questione. L'articolo diceva pure che questa mossa è una chiara contromisura contro la dilagante (Europa del Nord e credo Canada per lo più) scelta di molti governi e aziende di affidare i loro sistemi a Linux per via dei costi contenuti e della notevole sicurezza per le reti.

La batteria e' generalmente un piccolo bottoncino di 2cm di diametro con su scritta la marca e il modello. Quest'ultimo e' sempre CR2032.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake Financial Problems
This is very unsettling news, I really would not want Mandrake to go away any time soon. Of all the Linux flavours I have tried this was the one that I could install without a hitch and whose minor flaws I could fix thanks to this mailing-list among other things. I wish there was more overt support to this distribution as I really think it is work using as a Windows substitute. The only way this OS is going to gain more support is by having applications that install painlessly all the time, that don't use gzip or tar to unpack them but have proper self-executing installers instead. That the Linux Configuration Centre is streamlined further to allow computer-users vis-a-vis computer professionals to carry out the neccessary day-to-day tweaking without having to know what's happening beneath. As for me I am happy with what I've got even though I would welcome any improvements...which brings up other considerations to mind, like how about having periodic self-extracting OS improvement packs that take the hassle out of upgrading (say the KDE interface if a newer one comes out). I'm talking off the top of my head here, but I would really like to see the day when opting to go Linux ALL THE WAY will be really easy and full of possibilities even for those who just USE a computer to play games, read email, write a document and maybe use their webcams to communicate with others over the net.

I am not able to get Xine (off the MDK CDs) to work properly with any DVD I own. All I can manage to do is make it crash, even after installing every codec and plugin available from the PLF website. Pretty much the same for me with Mplayer. It will run, but does not keep my settings, and trying to play a DVD results in a window full of garbage, again after installing all the plugins available via PLF. If you happen to come across a way to get either of these two progs working, please let me know. Sorry to hear that you are having so much difficulty with these applications. Each newer version of these multimedia programs seems to get more difficult to install and get running but that is the price you pay for greater functionality and improved performance. Ogle always seems to be easier to manage, but its gui is not fully functional - several dead buttons. I installed Mandrake's xine from the 8.2 download CDs so kindly provided by Shane and had endless trouble trying to get it going by downloading RPMs and doing rpm -ivh installs. Urpmi certainly makes life easier and so does PLF. Needless to say I cannot remember exactly what the prescription was for xine but it involved libxine, xine-gui, win32 codecs and xine-plugins. Have you tried invoking it with the command xine -s DVD dvdnav:// or xine -pq -s DVD dvdnav:// to play immediately and quit when finished? There are other things to check like the settings in ~/.xinerc and the rawdevices service (which is probably running by default) and /dev/dvd. Then there are the skins - haven't sorted that one out yet. The same goes for mplayer. Poked around on the PLF site to see what was available and, like you, downloaded several packages. Had trouble choosing a video driver but x11 worked. If your settings don't stick maybe you need to create a ~/.mplayer/config file (copy from /etc/mplayer.conf perhaps?). It works on DVDs for me with mplayer -dvd 1 (or 2 or 3...). Also, there is a short tutorial on the net about getting DVDs to play under one or other of these applications, reported on this list very recently: http://www.trylinuxsd.com/dvd/ Maybe you have already seen that.

If DMA is not turned on for your harddrives, it'll cause the picture to be really jerky, too. Do a hdparm -d /dev/hda as root to see if it's on.

Anne When I've used MCC to install updates, it has warned me if this happens and offers the opportunity to compare the old and new config files then edit as appropriate. You might want to take a look at etc-update which makes the job easier - for example, it can merge the old and new files. David At first look I could not see the big deal. The printers.conf file doesn't seem to change anything. The classes file appears to be a skeleton config file, with everything hashed out. I decided to minimise the box while I thought about it. Having thought, I went back to it - or attempted to do so. The box had disappeared. Anyway, it still looks as though there's no big deal, so I've made the assumption that I would not have been given the choice if it really mattered. On the basis of this I'm leaving the original files active until I've finished this urgent work, then I'll rename them and release the new ones onto the system.

Ogle always seems to be easier to manage, but its gui is not fully functional - several dead buttons. I installed Mandrake's xine from the 8.2 download CDs so kindly provided by Shane and had endless trouble trying to get it going by downloading RPMs and doing rpm -ivh installs. Urpmi certainly makes life easier and so does PLF. Needless to say I cannot remember exactly what the prescription was for xine but it involved libxine, xine-gui, win32 codecs and xine-plugins. Have you tried invoking it with the command xine -s DVD dvdnav:// or xine -pq -s DVD dvdnav:// to play immediately and quit when finished? There are other things to check like the settings in ~/.xinerc and the rawdevices service (which is probably running by default) and /dev/dvd. Then there are the skins - haven't sorted that one out yet. The same goes for mplayer. Poked around on the PLF site to see what was available and, like you, downloaded several packages. Had trouble choosing a video driver but x11 worked. If your settings don't stick maybe you need to create a ~/.mplayer/config file (copy from /etc/mplayer.conf perhaps?).

[newbie] DHCP release/renewal
Hi all, this is my first time posting to this list. The question I had was this... I run two computers off a hub/switch in my house on a cable modem, my ISP will assign a separate IP to both so it doesn't require a router. My Windows machine has kept the same IP for months, my Mandrake 9.0 machine seems to get about 2-3 new IP's a DAY. Is there anything I can set to keep the machine from release/renewing so often? It doesn't matter if the machine is kept on constantly, sometimes it will renew in the middle of a console session, it seems so random and it's annoying. I'd prefer not to get a static IP but it seems I might have to go that route. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

RE: [newbie] graphic utility
I'm sure there must be a utility to do this but I don't know what it's called on linux.

[newbie] External HD's
Hi there all, Just wondering if anyone out there is using an external harddrive with Mandrake? I see an advert here for an external Maxtor 120GB h/d (7200 rpm), which connects via USB (also firewire, but I don't have that). I tried looking on the LM hardware database, but it wasn't helpful at all, seeing as I don't see the model-number, and a visit to maxtor.com didn't help me either. Maybe someone knows a site with more info on this?

Re: [newbie] scsi emulation
You don't need add scsi emulation for the cd-rom; go to the xcdroast page and download the last rpms (alpha-13) for xcdroast and also cdrecord and so on; now xcdroast recognized also ide-atapi drives and you can use them as lector drive (to read a cd, copy on the fly..). I have this runing under Mandrake 9.0 pretty well.

If your normal 9.0 boot from lilo does go into X using the correct drivers check whether it is indeed identical to the boot-floppy specs. As I have just found out (bumping my nose=;o)) vmlinuz in the /boot directory on your /dev/hda6 partition is symlinked to a specific kernel there.
