[newbie-it] Connessione satellitare
Ciao a tutti, Sto analizzandola possibilità di connettere ad internet un computer veramente remoto(in una missione in Africa) e di installargli Linux Mandrake. La missione attualmente è dotata di una connessione dial-up lentissima (c'è un solo server in tutta l'Etiopia ed è a 1200Km di distanza dalla missione). Velocizzare questa connessione porterebbe a tanti vantaggi per la trasmissione dati tra la missione e una base logistica in Italia. Attualmente la quasi totalità della trasmissione è.."manuale". Ogni tanto qualcuno va là e porta a casa, disegni, fotografie,ma la cosa non è molto funzionale. Da tempo sento parlare di connessioni con modem satellitari, ma non ho mai avuto grosse info. Vi volevo chiedere alcune cose: - Chi produce questi sistemi - Compatibilità con Linux - Costi sia dei modem che delle connessioni - Esistono anche dei modelli che lavorano in modalità bidirezionale (piuttosto che solo in download) - Aree geografiche coperte - Idee alternative al modem satellitare - . Qualsiasi info può essermi utile per provare a realizzare questo progetto che ora è solo in embrione. Un saluto a tutti Enrico

Per esister, esistono senz'altro. Ho visto circa 15 anni fa qualcosa di analogo tra Università di Trento e CINECA di Bologna. Il problema sono i costi. Anche senza affittare un intero canale di trasmissione, come avevano fatto loro, ti servono delle apparecchiature toste per trasmettere al satelllite. Io cercherei informazioni su siti australiani o di altri paesi che hanno problemi di grandi distanze, ma che sono tecnologicamente avanzati. Poi, dovrai cercare un operatore che disponga di un satellite in orbita geostazionaria opportuna. buona fortuna, Andrea

R: R: [newbie-it] CX3200 Epson [was: latex e *.jpeg]
Come dicevo (e ora posso confermare) la stampante non funziona (come dicevo
ieri con Mike), io ho la stampante connessa ad un PC win$ in rete.
vedi se win$ ha in coda il file di spool passato dal client
il problema potrebbe essere nel nome col quale hai esportato da win$
e/o nella coda che hai indicato
Mi trovi impreparato, non so cosa sia il file di spool, l'ho cercato ma non
l'ho trovato sul PC Win, l'unica cosa che ho fatto è stato controllare il
nome di condivisione che usa win (che è esattamente printer). Quando uso
mandrake control center per trovare la stampante, questa viene vista
correttamente, il problema è che quando mando la pagina in stampa mi dice
qualche cosa del genere: impossibile configurare stampante (questo
immediatamente, senza nemmeno tentare di accedere alla rete).
Non so niente riguardo i driver CUPS, io non ho configurato niente al
riguardo.
Concludo chiedendo a beo se i driver che usa sono quelli della C62 (come ho
letto in giro) oppure quelli della Stylus
Vi saluto ringrazindovi e augurandovi una buona cena per domani sera.
Saluti
Enrico

Come scanner invece ciccia, ho seguito le indicazioni avute a
suo tempo da Lukenshiro fino a dove sono riuscito, poi mi sono perso in
mezzo ad una tonnellata di messaggi di errore :-(( ma riproverò.
Uhmmm, pero' e' abbastanza strano che non funzioni come scanner (almeno
in locale, non ho esperienze di uso in rete).
I passaggi sono pochi (anche se con qualche complessita'): se puo'
servire li ripeto in modo piu' umano :P
1) togliere dal file /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/scanner.c (magari
commentandole tra un /* e */ ) le seguenti righe:
if (dev-config[0].bNumInterfaces != 1) {
info(probe_scanner: Only one device interface is supported.);
return NULL;
}
Questo codice, probabilmente scritto per sbaglio, impedisce il rilevamento
fisico da parte del sistema della seconda interfaccia della multifunzione
(lo scanner, appunto)
2) ricompilare il kernel o anche i soli moduli con la solita sequenza
(make xconfig make dep make clean make bzImage make modules
make modules_install, o, nel secondo caso, dovrebbe bastare make modules
make modules_install) -- questa e' la parte critica, perche' si spera
che il kernel MDK si ricompili senza problemi, e non e' detto :/
3) presupponendo che il fetecchioso devfs sia e resti disattivato, creare
un dispositivo di nome p.es. /dev/usbscanner di tipo carattere con major
number 180 e minor number 48 (praticamente con mknod /dev/usbscanner c
180 48);
4) modificare il file /etc/sane.d/dll.conf, commentando tutte le voci
tranne epson;
5) modificare il file /etc/sane.d/epson.conf, decommentando o creando (se
non fosse presente) usb /dev/usbscanner e commentando il resto;
6) modificare il file /etc/modules.conf aggiungendo le righe:
alias char-major-180-48 scanner
options scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x802
7) per fare in modo di eseguire xsane anche da utente dare un
chmod +x `which xsane`
A che punto eri arrivato?
P.S. so per certo, da notizie apprese sulla ML sane-devel, che con la
prossima versione del kernel stabile (la 2.4.21) il driver per gli scanner
usb sara' preso da quello creato per la serie 2.5.x, e quindi il problema
della doppia interfaccia non riconosciuta sara' finalmente superato.

If you are having the problem on a modern kernel and disk drive, we need a lot more information about the drive, the BIOS settings for it, other op systems on it, and so on.

[newbie] kde 3.1 installation and config
i was wondering if perhaps someone could let me know where the config files for the kde start menu are at...i just compiled and installed 3.1 last night but can't figure out how exactly to add all the applications that were in my old kde menu to my new one. it would be much easier if i could just cut/paste some lines from one config file to another rather than using the menu editor application to add everything i need. plus i've already overwritten most of the old kde binaries so i'm not sure exactly what/where everything is that used to be in the menu. i've tried going through ~/.kde and even copied that directory from another user account who hadn't used kde 3.1 yet to my own in hopes that it would provide the same menu configuration but i was wrong. also i can't seem to figure out how to make the new kdm boot kde 3.1.i was not able to add fluxbox to kdmrc for 3.0 because it would get overwritten after every reboot and when it would not boot kde 3.1 for some reason, i started using the kdm for 3.1. now it will boot fluxbox but kde 3.1 just makes the screen flicker a few times but goes back to the kdm login, eventhough i can boot kde 3.1 with a startx from console. if anyone can offer some insight on either of these matters it would definately be appreciated, thanks _ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

You have broken your Mandrake menu system by installing kde from source. The rpm packages are provided for a reason because they contain the mandrake menu configuration information. If you want to compile KDE from source AND keep your Mandrake menus, you should rebuild the Mandrake src.rpms and install from rpm. You may be able to copy the contents of /usr/share/applnk-mdk to /usr/share/applnk, but my experiencesays that msec or something will change it back, or perhaps link /usr/share/applnk to /usr/share/applnk-mdk. also i can't seem to figure out how to make the new kdm boot kde 3.1.i was not able to add fluxbox to kdmrc for 3.0 because it would get overwritten after every reboot and when it would not boot kde 3.1 for some reason, i started using the kdm for 3.1. now it will boot fluxbox but kde 3.1 just makes the screen flicker a few times but goes back to the kdm login, eventhough i can boot kde 3.1 with a startx from console. if anyone can offer some insight on either of these matters it would definately be appreciated, thanks Did you install to /usr, or elsewhere? Why would you install from source instead of grabbing the rpms from the Club (if you're a member) or Texstar?

I think they fear that some will join, download StarOffice and other premiuum goodies and then block their credit card from further charges. A risk for sure, but it could probably be minimized with certain procedures. I think they could really increase their revenue as a lot more people would join if they could pay that way.

Deno posted a link to the TOC on the Club site. I'm sure some of it is a rehash, but it looks to me like it has a lot more stuff than the default docs, including server configuration and stuff. I joined the Club instead of buying a Pack, so I don't have the 9.0 manuals, so I don't care much if it is a rehash. Also, Deno indicated in a follow-up post that an html version will be going up for Club member access.
