R: [newbie-it] Problemi con il CDR/RW
Se non erro Xcdroast vuole entrambi i dispositivi emulati-scsi.Probabilmente devi modificare lilo.conf con append=hdd=ide-scsi se il tuo lettore è su hdd. Questa mattina (dalle 5:30 alle 8:00) ho tentato invano di fare questa operazione (che peraltro è quella consigliata anche sul sito di XCDRoast): In lilo.conf adesso ho la linea append=. hdd=ide-scsi In più, come consigliato sempre sul quel sito ho modificato modules.conf aggiungendo: options ide-cd ignore='hdd' Purtroppo niente. Cosa mi dovrei apsettare? In HardDrake dovrei vedere anche il mio lettore come periferica scsi? Comunque XCDroast, anche dopo le modifiche succitate non riconosce il lettore. Eventualmente (anche se preferire risolvere il problema e non aggirarlo) qualcuno di voi sa se esiste un client che non dà questi problemi?

[newbie-it] impostazione di X da console
Ciao, ieri sera ho intallato 3 distribuzioni e solo una alla fine ha caricato. Sia Connectiva 8.0 che Red Hat (LInux Professional 8.0) davano problemi su come avevo impostato la risoluzione durante l'installazione. Alla fine ho reinstallato la vecchia Mandrake 8.1 Ci sono dei comandi comuni per modificare le impostazioni grafiche di X da console? Grazie!

Avendo preso un nuovo hd tutto dedicato a linux volevo riconvertire lo spazio nel vecchio per win$. Con diskdrake avevo cancellato le 3 partizioni linux. Si era, però, incasinata la tabella delle partizioni, una delle vecchie non era cancellata ma risultava nello stesso spazio di quella win$. Alla fine, dopo aver spostato la cartella documenti e i file più importanti (punteggi e livelli dei giochi dei raga) su linux ho rasato tutto, FAT e tab partizioni comprese, ricreate come volevo e reinstallato. Ora va meglio di prima, coscenza a posto dunque. Provando a rimediare, ho usato, su consiglio di Mike, fdisk (di mdk of course) che da l'impressione di essere molto più prudente di diskdrake.

Ciao. Ho da poco installato Mandrake 8.2, ma ho problemi con l'audio: i cd riesco a sentirli tranquillamente, mentre mp3, wav o altro (ad esempio audio in filmati flash) no. La scheda audio (VIA Technologies, VT8233 [AC97 Audio Controller]) è integrata nella motherboard (MSI KT3 Ultra). Ho controllato i permessi di /dev/sound/dsp e sono ok. Ho provato a lanciare il comando sndconfig, che mi riconosce la scheda audio ma si blocca al momento del test. Ora non saprei che altro tentare (a parte comprare una scheda audio decente)...

(I know dealing with privoxy made the problem more messy but still with
netscape and mozilla, with or without privoxy I can't open bank pop-ups,
privoxy is a localhost proxy program to kill popups, pests, unwanted

In fact searching the internet with certificate error -8182 let me

Weirdest thing is Netscape used to be open any https pages including

But I didn't make any new install when mine disappeared, so it's more likely
to be a setting, either in Netscape or Mozilla, that is affecting both of
them. Just my 2p worth.

[newbie] RPM : Accessing Installed Packages
Mandrake 9.0 Hi As I understand it, rpm's can only be installed when logged in as root. I have installed packages as root, using the GUI RPM facility i.e. left click the rpm. They appear to have installed correctly and I can see them in the list of installed software i.e. in the alphabetical list of software in the Remove Software window of the Mandrake Control Centre. However, when I try to start them using the application toolbar, they are not there e.g. * Texmacs is apparently installed under RPM/Applications/Editors, but does not appear in the list of editors, * Macaulay2 installs under RPM/Engineering, but Engineering is not even in the list of applications Why is this and how do I access the packages ?

Re: [newbie] RPM : Accessing Installed Packages
my guess is theese were not *MDK*.rpm, and you may have to either add them to the menu (menudrake) or you can try starting them from the command line (but it would be a good thing to know where the *.bin file is (as root; locate Macaulay2) or once you know where they are and that they run, you might decide to put a icon for it on the desktop (right click an open area of the desk top, create new, link to application) On Wednesday 22 January 2003 07:18 am, Sendak, John wrote: Mandrake 9.0 Hi As I understand it, rpm's can only be installed when logged in as root.

Re: [newbie] msec level 4 and samba help
On Wednesday 22 Jan 2003 2:56 am, Steve Jeppesen wrote: Howdy list members, I recently merged our home firewall/router and fileserver into one computer using mandrake 9.0 (with latest updates). Because I am not sure if I should use a lower level of msec, I set it to 4 because of the recommendations given during the install stating that was level to choose for a server. Now we do not have any thing secret or worth hacking into and just to be safe we are not hiding any plans for weapons of mass destruction on it either in case GWB is a member here (like yeah right!) so is it really worth while keeping it on msec level 4? BTW, we are on a cable connection here 24/7/365 and I am using Firestarter for the firewall which nmap'ing from the outside shows it is doing it's job. The problem I am having now, is that samba is installed and is allowing users into their home directories and allows other M$ clients to see the other shared folders - just not any of the files in those folders. The shared files/folders are located in /mnt/shared which shouldn't be a problem right? The samba log for moms computer shows; [2003/01/21 20:30:51, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(599) moms (192.168.1.252) Can't change directory to /mnt/shared/southpark (Permission denied) Before merging the two servers together, I had samba configured with just individual users...since this problem has arised, I have created a smbusers group and added all users to that section in /etc/group and changed ownership of all shares except homes to smbusersstill no go Just a few mins ago, I found (serious newbie here!) a file; /etc/security/fileshare.conf which has one line in it which reads; RESTRICT=yes Does anybody know if having msec level 4 interfers with file sharing with samba? If so, is it possible to change the above mentioned file to read RESTRICT=no and also be able to keep msec level 4? Or should I downgrade to level 3? Or should I just give up and go out and empty my wallet for uncle Billy and go back to M$? Smacking me upside the head and flaming welcomed here to get my senses back! BTW, with the old setup when the fileserver was its own entity, filesharing worked like a charm and I ended up reusing all the old smb conf files...modified for the new network setup...apparently not enough yet though. If I need to I can post any thing to help with this...but I believe it to be a file owner/permission problems...of which I have tried to fix via opening up ports 137, 138 and 139 on the firewall (no good) changed owner ship to smbusers (no go) and even set all shares read/write/execute (no go) TIA for any suggestions or advise Steve A quick look at MandrakeControlCentreSecuritySecurityPermissions shows that at level 4 the /mnt folder has permissions of 750 root:adm meaning that ordinary users do not even have the right to read them. At level 3 /mnt has permissions 755 root:root so they may be read by anyone, but not written to. So you can either reduce your level (Personally I run at level 2) or else select the 'Editable ' dropdown and write your own override to the selected level. Another option is to keep your shared files in somewhere they can be accessed in level 4 like /var derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Regards John Sendak It can take a few minutes for an application to show up in the menu list. So be patient. Sometimes an application may not have a menu entry at all. This is down to the individual who packaged the RPM. An RPM made for another distro like RedHat will not show up in a Mandrake menu. This is because Mandrake uses a different menu system to Red Hat. (Mandrake uses Debians' system) Your user may be configured for 'System Menu' in which case all users have the same menu entries, or you may have an individual customized menu. If you have an individual menu you will not automatically get new menu items as they are installed. Configure this with 'menudrake' Sometimes running 'update-menus' both as a user, and as root will make a reluctant menu item appear. If all else fails. Put in your own menu entry with menudrake.

I'm a very newbie running Mandrake 9 and I can't get it to connect to the internet. My ISP is eurobell. I've set up the connection in MCC, and that bit seems to work OK - it dials, verifies my username and password, and is clocking up a penny a minute for the connection when I test it - but I can't get any further than that. I've tried setting up my details (username, password, server names as supplied by eurobell), but when I use the various applications to try to access www, usenet, email accounts I just get error messages - message wording varies depending on the application, but amounting to host eurobell unknown. I've checked the documentation on the machine and printed out several trees worth, but still can't crack this. The only documentation I found that seems relevant told me that the host name should be in the /etc/hosts file. This is what my /etc/hosts file contains: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.50 home No mention of eurobell in the file. Should I add something here and, if so, what?

[newbie] Star Office beats me
The spontaneous logouts were causing havoc in my file, as every backup was resulting in yet another corrupted file - at least that's what it looks like. I decided to split the file, reasoning that if I took out all the info about ImageMagic use it would halve the size of it :) All went well, and SOWriter was noticeably quicker in response as the file size went down, until they were both near equal size. I was cutting and pasting, so both had to be open at once. Then I hit real trouble. Both halves started behaving the same way. I gave up on Open Office last year because it seems so unstable, and this is exactly the same. Now I need to know whether it is the file that is the problem, or something here in my installation or hardware.

This is said to be needed on some AMD athlon/durons with AGP and the 2.4 kernel. There is disagreement as to whether this is fix or simply a sugar pill, as is there disagreement even to the existence of the problem/bug which this option is said overcome. But should we accept at face value the existence/remedy it is for rectification of random X lock-ups and not as a causation/prevention of spontaneous reboots. Personally I run several AMD systems and I use the mem=nopentium option. In my case I had suffered the random X lock-ups and these ceased when I added this option. Thank you Charles. I've put it into lilo, though it doesn't seem to help, so I guess it was probably not the problem. However, it probably does no harm to leave it there.

[newbie] strange network slow down
Hi there, I don't know whether this is a discussed problem here. My laptop suffers from strange network slow down recently. The switch shows my network card is a 100 MB one but when I download something the bandwidth is about several hundreds bytes per second, while other computer in the same lab around 10 KB/s. My laptop worked well weeks ago. I install a Madrake 8.1 within my laptop. How could I fix it? Many thanks. Regards, QingHua.
[newbie] re: java
Hi ! Here's how I installed j2re-1_4_1_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin. chmod a+x j2re-1_4_1_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin then ./j2re-1_4_1_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin and fin'lly rpm -Uvh j2re-1_4_1_01-linux-i586-rpm Then, following the instructions on the mozilla plugins page $ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so Mozilla can see it now.

Re: [newbie] re: java
To check the path(s), type $ env | grep PATH or $ echo $PATH I don't think java.rpm sets up the path to the executables. You can do it by hand adding it to your .bashrc. Or, you can create a /etc/profile.d/local.sh as root, and put those settings there, so they will be loaded by all the users when they login. For example, here's my /etc/profile.d/local.sh (but for .bashrc it would be the same): - # Configuration variables added by me # variables for Forte Java Developement environment export JDK_HOME=/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.0/ PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.0/bin # variable for Mozilla 1.0 export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/local/mozilla - The ony advantage I see of having a ~/bin is that its content will not be deleted (provided /home is in its own partition) when you upgrade the distribution. But be warned that normally rpm packages will install in a system directory (i.e. /usr/local or the like) and it will not be easy to convince them to use ~/bin instead. I abandoned the ~/bin almost immediately. Unless, of course, you plan to develop your own stuff. In this case, a ~/bin and the proper path is the way to go. raffaele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi !
