[newbie-it] Ancora installare gaby.
Ciao, cercando di installare gaby da sorgenti sono riuscito a lanciare senza errrori make install, ma ho ancora 2 problemi: Gdk-Warning **: locale not supported by C library Cosa significa?E come potrei correggere? poi mi da questo messaggio: could'n load gaby format plug-in: Unable to open view plugin: /usr/local/lib/gaby/plug-ins/view/libform.so e molti altri file .so ...non riesce a trovare un file chiamato libform.so (una libreria?). Quindi come faccio a installare una libreria da sorgente? Oppure potrei avere sbagliato qualcosa dal processo di compilazione? Nel file INSTALL dei sorgenti c'è scritto che bisogna installare i plug-in ma non come farlo... Ciao e grazie per le risposte! Giulio F.

However I am going to try the modem and cable off my other box that has ML 9.0 installed and working. I have used this same brand and model of modem on at least 6 other ML9.0 installations and no special action was ever required. Getting this model modem to work in Mandrake Linux or any other OS has always been a 100% nobrainer as far as how do I know that this modem is good I am using it right now on the windoze part of the machine and have been using it several times a day every day for the last 4 days on the windoze side of this machine. and have used this modem and cable before on other machines. well then ignor my asking if the modem is good, and don't bother switching it around.. my bad for not realizing it worked good on the M$side of the box. what does your /etc/ppp/options file look like? I always like this brand and model of modem because it is always up until this point super simple to use in any operating system and any brand or vintage of machine that I have ever tried this model on. Redhat, mandrake 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 9.0 windoze 95, 98, 2000, ME and Mac And this model always seems to play niceley with any and every ISP. I have seen some brands and models of modem work like crap with some ISPs and work well with others but never a us robotics sportster. The sportster seems to be almost a industry standard along with some of the Hayes modems of course. IMHO Hayes seems to have written the standards and with the sportster series US Robotics seems to have done a flawless job of sticking to those standards. As a rule of thumb IMHO if you want a a modem to work first time every time anywhere on anything get a old US Robotics sportster. No I am not a US Robotics or 3 Com employee. I really have to tend to think that ML is having trouble communicating with the serial port on this machine. That seems kind of unlikely but laptops and notebooks seem to be prone to having odd crap going on, at least in my experance so far. But thanks for the comments anything is worth a try. I may also try a older version of Mandrake just to see what happens. Marc I agree that you might be having problems with the serial port and mandrake, maybe a corrupted file somewhere, what does /var/logs/dmesg say anything like this in there? Serial driver version 5.05c (2001-07- 08) with HUB-6 MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI ISAPNP enabled ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A PROBLEM SOLVED The whole problem was caused by the odd way the MOBO and bios is setup on this machine. Things in the bios can be adjusted a very limited amount and the MOBO does some strange stuff with resource sharing that probably make little sense to anyone on this planet and most of this stuff seems to apply only to the IBM thinkpad 770s I can see why they don't make em like this any more and for that matter did not make em like this for long! Anyway the solution was to get the serial port to move to com3 in windoze by use of some piece of crap called a thinkpad configurater that allows adjustments of some features of the bios only from within windows. The short story is that after I was able to get the serial port moved to com 3 everything works great. Linux can only see the serial port and work with it properly if it is set to com 3 in windoze.

Aureal is out of business and the linux driver they wrote, which you found on sourceforge is several years old. The wrapper (that part of it that is open-source) has been kept updated but it must be compiled for the kernel it will work with. Recompiling the kernel is NOT complicated. There is a step-by-step in the Mandrake reference manual. NO linux distribution includes that aureal driver because it is not free software (source code is not provided, and there is no license to distribute it). if your Aureal sound card is from DELL, just plain forget ever having it work under linux.

[newbie] jerky DVDs
Apologies for the length of this post. A little while ago somebody
recommended my setting the DVD/CDROM for DMA operation to eliminate
jerkiness when viewing DVDs. I got hold of hdparm and tried it out,
without much apparent success. Does the following mean that DMA is
already enabled for the drive?
[root@localhost lcl]# /sbin/hdparm -i /dev/hdd
/dev/hdd:
Model=IDE DVD-ROM 16X, FwRev=V3.10, SerialNo=
Config={ Fixed Removeable DTR=5Mbs DTR10Mbs nonMagnetic }
RawCHS=0/0/0, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=0
BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=0kB, MaxMultSect=0
(maybe): CurCHS=0/0/0, CurSects=0, LBA=yes, LBAsects=0
IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
DMA modes: sdma0 sdma1 sdma2 mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 *udma2
AdvancedPM=no
[root@localhost lcl]# /sbin/hdparm -X66 -d1 /dev/hdd
/dev/hdd:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
setting xfermode to 66 (UltraDMA mode2)
Segmentation fault
[root@localhost lcl]# /sbin/hdparm -X66 -d0 /dev/hdd
/dev/hdd:
setting using_dma to 0 (off)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
setting xfermode to 66 (UltraDMA mode2)
Segmentation fault
But:
[root@localhost lcl]# /sbin/hdparm -X12 -d0 /dev/hdd
/dev/hdd:
setting using_dma to 0 (off)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
setting xfermode to 12 (PIO flow control mode4)
using_dma= 0 (off)
No segfault with the following but no success either.
[root@localhost hdd]# /sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/hdd
/dev/hdd:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma= 0 (off)
cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdd/settings confirms that DMA is disabled.
This is all very confusing. So how to get rid of the jerkiness? This
is a 1.8 GHz Athlon XP 2200+ with the nVidia driver for Mandrake 8.2,
and 512 Mb RAM. The jerkiness was unaffected by installation of the
new video driver. On the old machine, 500 MHz Pentium III with 256 Mb
RAM the disk plays perfectly smoothly, but in that case DMA is enabled,
by default.
Could this be a hardware problem, like a jumper setting? No manual for
the drive. The invoice describes it as a 16X generic DVD drive.

I happened to do an ifconfig as root and saw that eth0's ip address had been changed to 192.168.1.1 instead of the hard-wired 192.168.0.1 that I've always used... I re-ran the network wizard and changed it back. I've not checked my other comps on the Lan to see if they still have sharing or not.

Any help appreciated. I don't what package you've installed but your post prompted me to try Mandrake's emu10k1-tools package. I edited /etc/emu10k1.conf but couldn't get sound to work (just a buzzing noise in the centre speaker). My sound card is a Creative SBLive! 5.1. Using mdk 9.0 but with the enterprise kernel which is sometimes very different to the standard kernel so the emu10k1-tools package may work for you in any case. So I've gone back my original setup which is using a tarbal downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/emu10k1 . Just checked that site and see that a newer release is available (emu10k1-v0.20a.tar.bz2) - I'm still using emu10k1-v0.18-2.tar.gz. Will upgrade today. Download emu10k1-v0.20a.tar.bz2 and follow the instructions in the README. Don't forget to edit /usr/local/etc/emu10k1.conf (if thats where they still put it in the newer version). I find that simply modprobing doesn't get it working and I'm not sure what else to do but reboot which definitely gets it going. Rebooting sucks, I know, but... I've never been able to get digital sound working so I use analog. Email me direct if you have problems editing the conf file and I'll send you my one. I've been using these packages since mdk 8.0 and have had no problems getting all 5 speakers going and have the bass treble controls in aumix, kmix, etc. Sharrea -- When the going gets tough, the tough go grab a beer. -- Mandrake Linux 9.0 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Apologies for the length of this post. A little while ago somebody

/dev/hdd:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted

cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdd/settings confirms that DMA is disabled.
This is all very confusing. So how to get rid of the jerkiness? This
is a 1.8 GHz Athlon XP 2200+ with the nVidia driver for Mandrake 8.2,
and 512 Mb RAM. The jerkiness was unaffected by installation of the
new video driver. On the old machine, 500 MHz Pentium III with 256 Mb
RAM the disk plays perfectly smoothly, but in that case DMA is enabled,
by default.
Could this be a hardware problem, like a jumper setting? No manual for
the drive. The invoice describes it as a 16X generic DVD drive.
could be the cable even... are you useing a good (80 pin) ide cable?

Robert Wideman wrote: I am still learning and i would say that i am a verteran. Everyone on the list, even developers are still learning linux on a daily basis, just on different levels. So true. The daunting thing about Linux is that there is always so much to learn. The encouraging thing is that when you do learn something, you learn something useful (as an example, my two weeks of hell installing RedHat 5.2 taught me a hell of a lot about configuring X). I spent years trying to fix problems with Win95 (I've always been the office alpha-geek), and on the occasions when I did solve it, I came out no wiser than when I came in, or as Omar Khayyam puts it: When I was young, did eagerly frequent Doctor and Saint, and heard great argument About it and about, but evermore Came out by that same door as in I went. I sweated blood to edit the Windows registry, and what did I learn? How to fix one particular problem, in the unlikely event that I could remember the barabarous names of evocation I had intoned.

[newbie] Connection sharing questions
Okay, I give up. How do you enable connection sharing from my main comp to the 2 comps on my Lan under v9.0 of Mandrake? Caveat: with OUT losing all other services and having my networks card changed from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 without my permission? I lose the ability to ping, NFS, etc, etc,... I tried opening the ports up for these in Shorewall but it never would work. I finally had to re-run the network config wizard and setup eth0 again. Disable/stop Shorewall, and all works again. Heck, after the connection wizard got done, I couldn't even access e-mail or web pages That bytes... :-) Thanks all. PS I did this under v8.2 of Mandrake - it was a no-brainer operation - with the same comps/LAN nothing got screwed up.

Re: (Fwd) Re: [newbie] Laptop external modem problems
thanks for lettings us know what it was and how it was fixed, much better than never hearing from you again snipped PROBLEM SOLVED The whole problem was caused by the odd way the MOBO and bios is setup on this machine. Things in the bios can be adjusted a very limited amount and the MOBO does some strange stuff with resource sharing that probably make little sense to anyone on this planet and most of this stuff seems to apply only to the IBM thinkpad 770s I can see why they don't make em like this any more and for that matter did not make em like this for long! Anyway the solution was to get the serial port to move to com3 in windoze by use of some piece of crap called a thinkpad configurater that allows adjustments of some features of the bios only from within windows. The short story is that after I was able to get the serial port moved to com 3 everything works great. Linux can only see the serial port and work with it properly if it is set to com 3 in windoze.

I notice that when I use Mandrake Update items such as Samba are included in the updates even though I do not have it installed.

Also and ideally it would run on its own (maybe in a cron job, however that happens?). BTW,I used the following commands to update urpmi: urmpi.addmedia PlzWork \ ftp site of choice \ with ../base/hdlist.cz Then did urpmi.update -a and urpmi --auto-select ...it updated but threw in a bunch of extra crap too! When you added the update source if you had used the option urpmi.addmedia --update PlzWork ftp site of choice with ../base/hdlist.cz Then the source will be an update source which means you can use the command urpmi --update --auto-select and then only update sources will be considered when pulling packages.

RE: [newbie] all-in-one mb thread (kinda rant)
Of course, if you want performance you don't buy an integrated board. There's no problem with those ECS motherboards that I've heard of, and you can upgrade from the integrated components. If you do add an AGP graphics card or sound card some day (and you can) you have to remember to disable the integrated video and sound in the BIOS or you WILL have problems.

It's working (dual boot W98/ML9) but not without some trials. I'm wondering if the all-in-one type of board has more problems than the add-a-card. Rich OK I have run the ASUS A7N266-VM with no problems, and full acceleration off a Mandrake Prosuite DVD installation (8.2). I have put together a few computers using 630 and 730 SiS chipsets (both all-in-one) and have had only minor problems (for me) in installation, but no problems at all with 9.0 or 9.1Beta3. I am looking for a K7SEM with a socketed 24-Pin DIP BIOS installed. The one with edge-grip BIOS is useless to me. Why? Well, I have a package adapted from the Linux BIOS project with linux kernel, vi, nano, Python, GTK+ and FramebufferX (not to mention ROX) and I have a 32M DiskOnChip in a 24 pin DIP. Booting once with Linux, loading the build I have, then hotswapping the BIOS chip for the DiskOnChip and Flashing my package into BIOS, I have a useful system that boots in less than 5 seconds and can then bring in whatever else it needs from HD at leisure while I am already looking at a nice desktop. Single-Boards are usually rather proprietary except the ones with SiS chipsets which have been classicly linux-friendly. The manufacturers of distros have not necessarily kept up with recognition of these boards bacause they do not have a huge sales volume, so for example in 8.0 and 8.1 the sound had to be configured post-install cause the ALSA drivers were misconfigured for those boards and the OSS drivers worked better. Also the networking interfaces at times needed special support. Now the NForce Chipset needed help with 9.0, at least for certain boards while others worked out of the box. Single Boards have these obvious PRos -Low cost (relative to the same hardware in several packages) -Compact size (not always) -Higher reliability in the sense of greater MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure). You see Electronics packages have an infant death syndrome but once past that, the failure rate is single digits per hundred thousand device hours. So with fewer, many fewer, devices to fail on the computer, the overall reliability has to be higher. If some manufacturer would remove head from backorifice and put tantalytic Caps on the board, the lifetime would be far greater than the useful life of the technology on the board (but it if does what you bought it to do, you CANNOT consider it obsolete). and these Obvious Cons Limited expandability Not usually the fastest performers Not generally for gaming aficianados (except the Nforce) Proprietary Drivers (Only the Nforce) IF something breaks, then the replacement is the WHOLE board. But I say again--most of the single-boards have excellent manufacturer based linux support with drivers regularly released to kernel.org (except the NForce, which is stuck with proprietary drivers for 3D accel for the on-board Geforce and is a taint on the linux kernel when installed, but even there the drivers for the sound and ethernet are free software) and most distros pay them little attention because single-boards are a low-population item. Intel 810 and 815 chipsets have quite a spotty history, but then Intel treated them almost like poor cousins in its driver releases; however, those chipsets today work like a charm with most linux distros and Mandrake installs without a hiccup and onften without even asdking you if you want to test anything. The 820 should be avoided altogether regardless how low the price is on the surplus market (Intel recalled them). SiS 630, 730, and 740 Chipsets are well supported. Beware of ANY board with the 845 (pentium4) Chipset. Flaky performance and filesystem corruption occurs with Win2K as well as most linux kernels NForce Chipsets offer a single-board (NOT necessarily small) for gamers where additions can be mounted and are often very expandable. The cheapest of them provides a nice experience for gaming folks, and also a relatively inexpensive desktop workstation (and you do NOT have to taint the kernel as the Geforce has perfectly acceptable 2d accel free software drivers which is usually more than needed for a desktop workstation except for a few engineering workstations where something expensive from SGI is likely the first choice. RAID is usually not available on such boards, nor are the cases that surround the Micro-ATX size boards known for a plethora of disk bays. Of course I think IDE RAID is worth the price for the extra IDE interface channels offered and not for the firmware which Linux Software RAID can run circles around anyway. Well that is it for what I know about them, Others can doubtless add issues either pro or con that I have not thought of or do not know. Civileme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Sorry for the clueless questions, but several hours of Googling hasn't helped any... do I just need to restart the machine? I wouldn't think so, since my kernel patch was never successful.

Re: [newbie] Printing a file list

I made .toc a dot file because if you don't and you write it to the same directory you're listing, it will count itself as a file and get listed. Never understood that one. It gets counted because the first thing done in the command is to open the output. In this case, a file is opened to receive stdout. Then the ls command is executed. Since the file exists, it will be included. One way around it is to make it hidden by using a leading dot like you mentioned. x That helps, thanks for the explanation, Larry. I'm just going to keep on thinking it's magic that it knows to open that file before it does the other stuff that comes before it. I always assumed it was linear, left to right, in such a simple sequence. Todd Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
