 Zip di winz permette la creazione su floppy, in caso di un unico file

 Sicuro che esistesse un comando del genere anche per tar, sono subito andato a 
 controllare il manuale; sembra però che la cosa sia possibile solo creando un 
 .tar non compresso (opzione -M).
 Esiste un comando che soddisfa questa esigenza, o ci si deve vedere costretti 
 ad usare una pipe su split, per raggiungere lo stesso risultato di winzip?

Premesso che non ho mai provato a fare nulla del genere, l'unica cosa che 
mi viene in mente è che, se con tar si può splittare solo creando 
un file non compresso, potresti provare prima a comprimere il file con 
gzip e poi a splittarlo con tar...
Di più non so...

[newbie-it] Lucent Winmodem

2003-04-05 Thread Massimo Bichicchi



Salve a tutti.
Ho installato Mandrake 9 nel mio computer, è la 
prima volta che installo linux.
Il problema è che, avendo come modem un Lucent 
Winmodem questo non viene riconosciuto.
Guardando in www.linmodem.org ho trovato un .rpm relativo 
alla mandrake 8.26, vedendo che il numero del Kernel era il medesimo, l' ho 
installato.
Ha funzionato la prima volta per un paio di minuti, 
poi non ha più funzonato, sembra che non riesca più a trovare il 
modem.
Se qualcuno di voi ha questo modem sulla Mandrake 9 
sarei grato se mi spiega come fare ad attivarlo.

Devi essere sicuro del tipo di modem che hai. Anche io ho un Lucent sul 
portatile e funziona con un driver di poco precedente a quello che hai 
scaricato tu.
Ti dico che devi essere sicuro del tipo perché i modelli ARM non sono 
supportati dal Linux, mentre quelli precedenti si.
Un'altra cosa: che significa che ha funzionato per un paio di minuti e poi no?
La comunicazione si è interrotta da sola o sei stato tu ad interromperla?
Controlla, inoltre, a cosa punta il link modem. L'rpm che hai installato 
avrebbe dovuto reindirizzare il link (modem) verso il device giusto.
Se vedi bene in kppp (ammettendo che stai utilizzando questo) ci sono diversi 
device alternativi a modem prova a vedere se gli altri funzionano.

 Tienici informati.
 Con la 9.1 vorrei fare anch'io questo scherzetto.
 E' la buona occasione per scrivere un mini-mini HOWTO.
 Vale.

Ho da poco terminato l'upgrade!!
Il nuovo sistema è una bomba!!
Per quanto riguarda Linux, non ho avuto nessun problema, a parte un rescue per 
sincronizzare l'fstab e lilo.conf con le mie nuove configurazioni.
Ovviamente le periferiche incorporate non sono ancora (e forse mai) riuscito a 
farle funzionare (una scheda eth, una scheda sonora, e le porte firewire). 
Per l'interfaccia usb ho dovuto campiare i driver usb-uhci -- usb-ohci, 
credo per il supporto all'usb 2.0.
Per win diciamo che funziona, ma ho alcune componenti che utilizzano i driver 
di win e non quelli specifici (e non riesco a farglieli cambiare...). Credo 
che per sistemare tutto dovrò reinstallare (come sempre con win...)

This looks odd. Perhaps you should make the /var/run/authdaemon.courier-imap

(That directory holds the lock file used by the auth daemon.)

The version of Wine that comes included with Mdk 9.0 runs only a

A swap partition is not compulsory. In fact if you run Knoppix, by default it 
does not use  swap. If you have more memory than your applications demand 
then you do not need it.

Will it speed things up, not having swap?  
No.

Ah! That could prove interesting for a dual or triple boot scenario.

Ive always assumed a swap was needed for every installation when it comes to

My aim in the near future is to actually dual boot with Mandrake and the new
Redhat if it proves suitable.

Ive always liked them both but can never decide if one is better than the

so the the proper syntax is

 Not exactly. cp -a may do the job, but permissions need to be
 enforced. That's the job of the 'p' (preserve permissions)
 flag. Without that all the files may not have the right permissions
 and ownerships, and that can screw things up.

 Secondly, you may have missed one of my points. You don't copy to
 'home' on /mnt. You copy home over to /mnt. For instance, I have some
 users in /home - such as dfox (me). If I mount my /home on /mnt, all I
 see are the directories (dfox, root, ftp, and so forth.) If I mount
 this partition on /mnt, it's /mnt/dfox, on home, it's /home/dfox.

 In other words, the directories on the partition have /home/ added to
 them by virtue of it being mounted underneath /home -- i.e., replacing
 the previous content of /home (i.e., empty) with a number of
 directories and/or files.

 If you start with 'home' on /mnt you end up with
 /home/home/username...

Re: [newbie] Linux Swap Partition

 Something Ive never actually looked at with regard to Linux.
 
 Is it possible to just not use a swap partition at all.

 Would this speed Linux up ?? Or am i better keeping the swap partition.
 
 Stevo

By nature - linux, unix or any other variant, needs SOME swap - even a
little. By normal rote, swap is to be the same as your physical RAM or
double. Some distros, like RedHat, require twice the amount as per
physical RAM - some don't, but do require something.

I have 768mb of RAM on this box, and have set aside 1536mb for swap -
and I might increase it even more because I'm using applications that
require large amounts of swap (video editing/mucking around with large
audio files); it's dependent on your usage of the system.

  Anyhow Todd, let us know what happens!

 I was able to update the BIOS without any problem. Most of the problem I
 had was with my slave drive, which reported something about a bad
 superblock or something. It wouldn't boot so I went in to /etc/fstab and
 just commented out that bad partition and then I could boot into Mdk.

 My goal was to add the new space to /home. The problem was that
 the free space was at the end of the drive, and I had a /tmp
 partition between them.

 Having backed up everything I cared about, I deleted /home and rebooted
 in non-graphic mode. I logged in as root, copied /tmp to a backup
 directory, and somehow got /tmp umounted and ran diskdrake to delete
 /tmp, create a new /home and then recreate /tmp. I had problems starting
 x from command line, and it turned out to be another warning about
 superblock in /tmp. I reformatted /tmp, copied the stuff from backup
 there, restarted and bingo!

 It actually took a little while to figure out that /tmp stuff, but hey,
 it's done now! Except now it reports the drive is 37GB instead of 40.
 Not sure what's up with that.

 Thanks for your help.

You know (of course) that it really does not make all that much difference

Thanks Ryan ,
   

   

I have a MSI K7T266 Pro2 Mobo, capable of up to 3.0gigs of memory. I

does say you can install PC1600/PC2100 DDR SDRAM modules on the DDR DIMM 
slots (DDR1-3) I believe they run on 2,5v as against 3.3v.  In addition 
I have seen a reference somewhere that this mobo has a nForce-128 bit 
memory bus, but I don't think that is relevant is it .

   

That motherboard has a Via KT266A chipset which, from what I read seems
to have some problems.
I don't think so, never heard of anyone having problems with it.The 
KT266a nomenclature is something of a Mobo nomenclaute I think, the chip 
that works with memory is VIA, VT8366A (552BGA), which the manual 
stipulate is a  AGP 4X and PCI Advance memory controller   

 
 

See, I had bios set on 4QW when mandrake was installed, only found out 
afterwards I could up it to 8QW, and the manual references it being 
faster, I thought I would try it out. Trouble is Mandrake 9.0   boots up OK, 
I get to a login ,I login and a blue desktop arrives, but does not 
complete to the full thing with all the taskbar etc, and the mouse 
cursor hangs, indeed the whole computer hangs, I cannot even shutdown, I 
have to crash it.

It is kind of weird that it works fine in windows but not linux.  Have
you tried a different version of linux?  

Good thinking . Now I do have M9.1rc2 on for test purposes , so I tried 
booting tothat in the 8WQ bios setting and  what do you know, not 
problem at all.

See if maybe it's specific to
mandrake or a more general problem with how linux handles memory.
I'm think it's a M9.0 configuration problem ? because if W2K , and 
M9.1rc2 can handle it , but M9.0 does not them it makes sense to assume 
that.

What happens if you boot to the command prompt instead of X?  You might
be able to find some help at http://forums.viaarena.com/.

My AMI bios has a section Advance Chipset Features

In there is a section  BURST LENGTH
with the options  4QW and 8QW
According to handbook this allows you to set the size of the 
Burst-Length for DRAM.
The bigger the size the faster the DRAM performance.

I altered my bios setting to 8QW from 4QW and found everything boots 
fine in W2K,
but that Xwindows hangs on Mandrake 9.0.

It seems a pity to have to choose the slower setting just because of 
mandrake.
Is there any way of getting Mandrake to work with the higher setting ?

Could this be an X windows config Problem ? , if so I might try getting

 Could this be the old 1000 vs. 1024 argument?

37 x 1024^3  = 39.7 x 10^9
40x10^9  = 37.253 x 1024^3
Looks like you're right.

It wont actually be either of these numbers, of course, since although

By the way, inst stands for installation
ext stands for extra's or extensions, I think,
i18n stands for international. 

You don't need all 3 CD's for a functional install, but a lot of the

[newbie] 9.1: Just outstanding

2003-04-05 Thread Adolfo Bello
On Friday March 28 I decided it was time to jump to 9.1. A 2 days
download time taking into consideration my slow ADSL connection and
servers overload.

I have a dual boot Toshiba laptop (XP Pro is the other one). As I wanted
to change my partitions scheme I also went to install everything from
scratch.

After installing XP, my CD drive died. An unmerciful, horrible death. On
monday, I went to a Toshiba representative and at the moment they didn't
carry my CD drive model. Fortunately, they provided me with another
laptop, almost the same as mine. They switched the hard drives and I
just went on with the installation of everything in the borrowed laptop
(with my hard drive).

I noticed that the NIC and video card were different, but anyway I kept
installing Windows packages and, finally, Mandrake 9.1.

Yesterday, I switched back laptop (and hard drives) and this is where
the interesting story begins:

1.- I've been unable to boot XP. It just crashes after showing the
splash with the XP logo. No matter whether I pick safe mode in any
flavor or normal, it just crashes. I left alone in its coma.

2.- OTH, Mandrake 9.1 alerted me that the NIC and video card didn't
matched the drivers previously selected, picked the right ones and
started without any additional hassle whatsoever.

The only problem that I had (not related to 9.1) was that Evolution
corrupted my old settings for folders and filters (I had read that there
were some problems upgrading from 1.2.2 to 1.2.3) but after a boring
import process everything is back to normal.

The only thing that kept bugging me is keventd overloading the processor
if I turn ACPI on. If I turn it off then the sound driver is not loaded
(problem with IRQ 0). An interesting challenge for easter.

I just wanted to share this eXPerience and to say that 9.1 is just
amazing and beautiful!

I must agree. I just set up 9.1 on my 2nd machine and it works all fine. It
looks fabulous. I am going to 'fresh install' my main machine too. Probably
next weekend.
I can only shake my head when I see the peeps at work fretting over the

Nope I am quite sure it is the burner, or more accurately the firmware,
because it spins at full speed for an hour or so before overheating,
asked the tech at the local mom and pop to look into it, he confirmed
the problem, but said that the manufacturer would not be giving me a new

Re: [newbie] Linux Swap Partition

2003-04-05 Thread Terry Smith
If you have more than one drive, and run different distros on each (as I
do on this machine) you can define two swap partitions, once on each
drive. In the respective /etc/fstab files you can define the multiple
swaps. Both distros can use them and, to the extent that swap is used,

 Yes, a swap partition should be there. But you don't need a separate 
 swap partition for each OS, you can just use the same one. With both
 OSes in the dual boot being linux, you don't even have to do anything
 other than just point /etc/fstab on both distros to use the same swap 
 partition.

 My knowledge is less than zero.  So when I tried to use Klpfax I found
 that it needed to be compiled.
 The instructions which follow are simple but not simple enough for me.
 I order to compile and install Klpfax on your system, type the
 following in the base directory of the Klpfax distribution:
 % ./configure
 % make
 %make install

 Where do I find the base directory?
 And what do I use as a editor to type in the above installation
 instructions?
 Do I type in the instruction in any specific place or order?

 Thanks,

Compiling KDE apps is not the sort of thing you want to do as a brand new 
Linux user. In any case you do not need Klprfax to send a fax in Mandrake.
Just select Print in whatever application you are using and select the Print 
to fax Option.

If it is OpenOffice you are trying to send a fax from I have a write up here 
to allow OpenOffice to see the fax printer.

If you have system sounds, but no sound when playing CDs the classic cause is 
a missing audio cable from your CD player to the sound card.

[newbie] Red Carpet won't start

2003-04-05 Thread Marco Verheul
Hi,

I just installed Ximian Red Carpet 1.4 on Mandrake 9.0 and when I start
it up it stalls. I just have a ADSL connection and I'm not quite sure if
this is part of the problem.

I got past the startup screen once when I configured Red Carpet for a
proxy, but then it didn't work. When i use the option 'No proxy' it
starts, but i don't get past the startup screen.

Could this be related to my internet connection? I connect to ADSL using
an E-tech router.

Re: [newbie] Sound 9.1 - Via QT apps in Fluxbox

2003-04-05 Thread Ralph Slooten
Hi there all,
I just reinstalled with 9.1 (clean install, thus not an upgrade), and now I'm
having problems with both psi and dcgui using external sound applications,
namely play and mpg123.

PSI is coredumping when trying to use mpg123 (with the full path given), unless
started via the console which does work. The command and file work fine in the
console though.

As for DCGUI, same problem, using play. Works again manually in a console, but
no matter how it's started (via the console or fluxbox menu), it doesn't work
(no coredumps though).

Nowhere can I find any extra info, and before I start to make debug versions, I
thought that maybe someone else had another idea.

Difficult compiling them? Are you grabbing the source code? You should
be searching for the RPM's - I have Audacity and got the RPM from:

ftp://ftp.easynet.fr/plf/

...a tab bit easier to deal with an RPM than the source code - but if
you want to deal with source code, you're going to have to make sure you
have all the development packages installed prior to getting your feet

Thats what is says on the chip but VIA calls it the Apollo KT266A. 
Evidently MSI was the first manufacturer to release boards based on the

BIOS version 3.2 and motherboard revision 2.0C.  If you don't have
revision 2 of the board updating the BIOS might be the way to go if the
problems persist.  On the first revision of those boards it would cause
problems when the third DIMM slot was being used.

 

Good thinking . Now I do have M9.1rc2 on for test purposes , so I tried 
booting tothat in the 8WQ bios setting and  what do you know, not 
problem at all.
   

 

I'm think it's a M9.0 configuration problem ? because if W2K , and 
M9.1rc2 can handle it , but M9.0 does not them it makes sense to assume 
that.
   

If it works fine in rc2 I assume(hope) that it'll work fine in 9.1
final.  Hopefully that will fix your problems for good.

Well , I'm extremely doubtful of M9.1 , there are just too many problems, I'm doubful 
of ever being able to fix them,
but hopefully the final version may be better, though I doubt it. So If M9.1 final 
version proves useless for my equipement then I'm back with M9.0 as the only recent 
decently working version.So I want to get M9.0 to work with 8WQ if I can, I'm guessing 
it's a configuration problem. But what ?

listening pleasure. Just tried mplayer as the player, and it works too, but
rather not a bloated player for an mp3 file of 3KB's ;-) I was just looking for
a simple and small console player. I tried mp321 but it seems to have conflicts
with my system.. so I am open to suggestions. It seems an mpg123 problem here,
and if I remember correctly, it may have been the reason I switched last time.

next solution play .. 

Sigh, oh well, this seems to be more a lapse in my memory here, cause after I

 Just go through the networking wizard in Mandrake Control Centre. It will
 make
 both those changes for you.
 (Or from the command line run drakconnect)

 This is exactly what I do to get the internet connected, but at reboot the
 settings seams to be lost again. I use the mandrake control center, then
 networking, where I can choose non-dhcp and LAN and so on ...


When you exit the wizard in drakconnect wuth 'Finish' be sure to exit 
drakconnect itself with 'Cancel'.  If you exit with 'OK' then your edits will 
be discarded.

I have reported this same  bug during the 8.2 beta, the 9.0 beta, and the 
9.1beta, and it is still there. If anyone gets as  frustrated by it as I do 
then please go to https://qa.mandrakesoft.com and vote for bug 1881 and maybe 
it will get fixed.

If you still cannot get your settings to stick then edit /etc/modules.conf and 
replace the line ' alias eth0 tulip' with 
'alias eth0 whatever_driver_the_new_card_uses'

and edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0  and make sure it says

 solved those. 
 
 Please give some additional information :
 
 What printing system ? ( I prefer CUPS)
 What do you use for configuration ( printerdrake  -
 webmin)? 
 Is this an Open Office problem only ?
 Did you download the hpijs driver form HP ?
 
 Printers are notoriously tricky, but HP seems
 dedicated to

[newbie] 9.1 KDE Start menu doesn't have applications.

2003-04-05 Thread Steven Cole
Greetings all,

Apolgies for using Microsoft LookOut, but my Linux system is currently not
very
useable due to the following installation difficulty.

After successfully installing 9.1 on three systems at work, I attempted what
should have been a straightforward install on my one and only home machine.
After backing up my critical files to an extra disk, I attempted to install
9.1.

When KDE starts up, the menus available from the K button are very limited:

Booksmarks
Quick Browser
Run Command
Lock Screen
Logout steven...

Clicking on the Mandrake Control Center on the Mandrake Galaxy window gives
directory or file not found:
/usr/share/applnk-mdk/Configuration/Mandrake Control Center.desktop

I can start an xterm with Run Command and look around.  Sure enough, there
is
nothing under /usr/share/applnk-mdk.

Before shutting down the last time from 8.2, I did a
cd /home
mv steven steven_8.2
as root, to save my files in /home/steven, while providing
a clean new /home/steven created from the 9.1 install (not upgrade).
I've used this technique installing 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and have
never had any difficulty until now.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Steven

Did you try running menudrake? ( /usr/bin/menudrake )

It has options to reset the menus to different standard settings, but it
may not work since you are missing the applnk directory. (i am still pretty
new at this)

If the apps are all there, one of us could tar up the directory and send it
to you, though i know that's not all that satisfying...

1) I use evolution and brought the folder over, but after I tried to 
install the NVidia drivers it will not start and when I tried it from a 
command line it complained about not finding the default font. I have 
looked everywhere and cannot locate where you define the default font.

2) I used to use Galeon as my browser, and set up a few save session 
as sessions but the new one has no save session menu seclection.

3) I then tried Mozilla for my mail but I have to set it up everytime I 
start it. It does not seem to save anything and the folders seem to have 
the right rights.

Have been working at supporting an election (12-14 hours a day, 7 days a

 Since you also said you tried kdm, I take it you have the

Done.  Didn't fix it for me :(

On a hunch I tried to re-install mdkkdm and kdebase-kdm in case any of

haven't ever encountered problems before. I ran md5sum on the file that was
in the same directory as the ISO's, and it gave me something (a hash value?)
which I do not no how to use. I used xcdroast to burn the ISO's and it
didn't report any problems. Suggestions?

TIA.

 Frank, I only got the behaviour you described after a large update

  Crtl-Alt-Backspace to restart X (and mdkkdm). This only solved it 
  temporarily, a reboot fixed it for good. kdm didn't have the problem.
  
  Since you also said you tried kdm, I take it you have the 
  kdebase-kdm rpm installed.  Edit /etc/sysconfig/desktop and make 
  sure, or add the line  DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm
 
 Done.  Didn't fix it for me :(
 
 On a hunch I tried to re-install mdkkdm and kdebase-kdm in case any of
 the files were corrupt.  I did this with rpm -e and then urpmi...
 
 still no joy.  I guess I'll have to live with gdm...not the end of the
 world I guess, but I hate having an unsolved problem.
 
 Thanks for the suggestion, I really appreciate your help.

 It turned out to be a problem with the Lindrivers for the Winmodem.
 There is a Country configuration option for Italy for the driver - which
 didn't solve the problem. However, if this fails, the driver FAQs
 recommend adding the modem command ATX3 (disabling Wait for dialling
 tone before dialling on KPPP is equivalent); and this has worked fine.

Good to know.  It might have saved the price of a modem.

Re: [newbie] 9.1 upgrade, eth0 FAILED at boot

 hi Guy,
 
 can you try this an see if it works?
 from console, run dhcpcd as root
 # dhcpcd
 if it does, it's probably due the new hotplug option in 9.1
 you can turn it off by running
 mandrake control center - Network and Internet - Drakconnect
 run the wizard, select expert mode, and in one of the following dialogs,
 remove the tick from the Network Hotplugging
 


Thanks, turning of Hotplugging did the trick.  I noticed while I was
there that upgrading to 9.1 had also changed my connection type from
static to none ??!!  I changed it back to static while I was in
there.  No more FAILED on eth0 on bootup, and no more half-duplex
problems.

Has a bug been opened for this, or should I open one?  BTW, I noticed
that if you use DrakConnect, it reinitializes /etc/hosts!  Another bug. 
Finally, every time I use DrakConnect, the next time I put up Mandrake
9.1, it hangs after Configuring Linuxconf hooks returns OK.  Can't
even ctrl-alt-del out of it - have to use my hardware reset switch,
which of course produces a filesystem check on the next boot.  After the
filesystem check, Linuxconf now hooks without issue.  Guess that would
be bug #3.

 hope it helps

  Upgraded 9.0 to 9.1, now every time I boot it says eth0 FAILED.  Oddly,
  I still have a live Ethernet connection.  Half the time, from looking at
  the LEDs on my Linksys DSL/Router, it appears that the adapter is coming
  up in half-duplex.  I didn't have this problem in 9.0, though I do have
  it booting 9.1 with the 9.0 kernel.  What do I have to do to get eth0 to
  come up reliably again?  I thought of uninstalling the tulip driver and
  reinstalling it, but that is not a separately installable piece.  I have
  a Linksys 10/100 wired internal NIC (standard LNE whatever).
 
  On a related note, when I see the adapter is in half-duplex mode, if I
  do ifconfig eth0 down, I see the full-duplex LED come on immediately.
  But now I am disconnected, and ifconfig eth0 up does not reconnect me.
  The only way I found to reconnect is to go into Mandrake Control Center
  - Network and Internet - DrakConnect.  It will determine I am
  disconnected and give me a button to connect.  How can I do this from a
  command prompt so I don't have to start up MCC?  service internet
  restart doesn't appear to work either.
 
  Thanks.

Re: [newbie] 9.1 Long bootup activity

 Guy,
 I've had a similar symptom in the past and which was caused by a 
 corrupted RPM database.
 You can find repair instructions at http://www.rpm.org/hintskinks/repairdb/

Thanks.  To see if my eth0 and this problem were related to upgrading
from 9.0 to 9.1, I actually installed (as opposed to upgrading) 9.1 on a
different partition.  This one seems to suffer from the same symptom
(finding module dependencies), and that is a brand new install.  So I
guess it is not a problem with upgrade or with my RPM database.

 Upgraded 9.0 to 9.1.  Under 9.0, during the bootup process, DevFS used
 to take a long time. Under 9.1, now that is pretty quick.  However, now
 checking module dependencies takes a long time with continuous disk
 activity.  Does anyone know why that is, and how to address it?  I would
 think once the module dependencies were figured out, future boots would
 go quickly.  This happens to me every time.

Re: [newbie] Sound 9.1

2003-04-05 Thread Leonardo Diciolla
What about a kernel recompilation with your soundcard
support? Nobody has said that a install kernel dos
supports anything.
Give it a try (there must be always a first time!!!).
That's the beauty of Linux: you can shape it in anyway
you need to. If you think that you'll get anything you
want on first install than you'd better give it up.

Cheers

Re: [newbie] 9.1 upgrade, eth0 FAILED at boot

2003-04-05 Thread stormjumper
happy to hear that you networking is working fine now.

i'm not sure if it's the Hotplug issue isan actual bug,
since eth0 works with it on my REAL mandrake 9.1,
but not in a VMware mandrake 9.1, probably cos
there are no network cables to speak of.

i dun use Linuxconf, so i can't help u there either...
