Re: [newbie-it] Utilizzo della RAM
Alle 16:16, sabato 21 giugno 2003, Pollo ha scritto: Ho un pc con pentium III 500MHz e 450MB di RAM. Appena avvio linux (mandrake 9.1) l'uso della RAM è già di 300MB circa. . Il comando top mi dice la percentuale di memoria usata da ogni processo ma mi sembra sbagliato. Quando ho il 70% di ram utilizzata se vado a guardare i processi totali e faccio una somma delle percentuali indicate da top arrivo a ma la pena al 15%. il fatto è che Linux usa la RAM libera come cache, quindi tutti i processi che hai avviato e chiuso restano in ram finché non c'è bisogno di liberare lo spazio che occupano. Ovviamente, non essendo più attivi, non sono rilevati da top o ps. Però, se ne hai di nuovo bisogno, sono già in RAM e non devi ricaricarli. Fai la prova con un processo grosso, che ci mette una vita a spostarsi da HD a RAM: openoffice. Lo apri (spostando 20MB da hd a ram), lo chiudi e dopo un po' lo riapri. La seconda volta dovrebbe essere molto più rapido. ciao, andrea

[newbie] my computer loves Mandrake, doesn't like WinXP and really hates Slackware
Hello :) Some time ago I passed to Slackware, which on my old computer used to work perfectly (the version is 9). Then one week ago I changed computer and something strange happened: when I try to install Slack I get error messages saying that LILO cannot install itself on the MBR or on the root partition (I tried both). Mandrake is able to install LILO without any problem, while WinXP can write on the MBR only if I install it on a NTFS partition (trying on a fat32 I just got strange symbols everytime I tried to reboot) The filesystem I use is Reiser FS which is the same that used to perfectly work on the old computer. I tried also Ext3 and Ext2 and nothing changed. The Hard disk is a normal Ultra ATA, nothing uncommon... so does anybody know what may the problem be?

There's another set called tools which includes stuff like the multi-channel mixer for the envy24 chipset. Required for full use of the features of some professional cards.

[newbie] Mandrake 9.1 and HDD S.M.A.R.T. Capability
06/23/03 Hello All, from The Other Last week was very frustrating. The slave Maxtor drive went back to PC Peripherals (this was an OEM drive), so I decided to continue the dual-boot Win95B and Mandrake 9.1 system on the remaining master Western Digital drive. Total disaster. Linux wouldn't install from the Boxed CDs. Bash, kernel, and up to 30 different packages wouldn't install. Never would boot up. I think the problem was I had HDD S.M.A.R.T. Capability turned on in my BIOS. The Maxtor was a 30GB drive made this year. The Western Digital drive was probably made in 1998 when I did the last hardware upgrades. I don't think the Western Digital drive is HDD S.M.A.R.T Capable. Eventually (after 5 days I finally went back to Ontrack's Disk Manager and MS-Dos 5.0 to get the Western Digital to format in FAT16) I was able to install Win95B and Windows NT 4.0. I then reformatted and got NT 4.0 running and am using it now. My guess is that Win95B and NT 4.0 have never heard about HDD S.M.A.R.T Capability, and didn't try to write to the Western Digital using it. Whereas Mandrake 9.1 is new and sophisticated enough to know about HDD S.M.A.R.T. Capability and was using it to write to a drive that didn't support it. Hence all the problems with Linux files on the Western Digital. Anyone know different? The Other (Who now has to learn the Windows Messaging system to communicate with you. Your sympathies please. On a brighter note, NT 4.0 does recognize the SB Live! Value card in all its capabilities. Now I can use my Roland MIDI modules without going through the Winman 4x4/s card, for which I never found Linux drivers.) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Installing new hard drive...how?
ok, since my new ram showed up this morning (system is now up to 768MB), i decided it was time to install the ram and the hard drive. opened up the computer to check where everything was on the ribbons and see where i'm going to plug in the hard drive. the current hard drive and CDRW are on the same ribbon (havn't checked to see which is slave and which is master yet). from the posts others have left about data transferring from one drive to the next and bottlenecking, i figure the best way to set this up is to put the new hard drive as a slave to the floppy drive. well, the connector on the ribbon for the floppy drive isn't the right size for the new hard drive, and the ribbon the CDRW and other hard drive are on only has 2 connections. so i have to go out and buy a new ribbon. figures! my only other possibility is to use the 3rd IDE connection on the motherboard, BUT, the motherboard wasn't new when i got it. bought it from a friend who assembled the computer for me. he tried to put the floppy, hard drive, and cdrw drive each on their own ribbon, but said the 3rd ribbon port on the motherboard wouldn't work. he couldn't figure out why. i can try to use it, but he took his time putting the computer together and couldn't get it to work no matter what he tried. i'll have to wait 3 more weeks til he gets back from his honeymoon to get into detail with him on everything he tried. i've decided the best way to set everything up is to leave linux where it is on the 20GB drive. the drive was partitioned for me into 5 and 15gb sections. i partitioned out 5gb for mandrake 9.1, there's still 10GB left on that partition. when i put the 100gb drive in, i'm going to leave it all open for sharing between win and linux, and i'm still able to expand to give linux 15GB to run on the other drive, and in the future if for some reason i was doing things exclusively in linux that i needed to keep separate from windows (video editing most likely) i can partition off more spaec on the 100gb drive for that. any comments? guess it's a good thing i started this thread, as there've been multiple questions asked on the same subject. thanks for all the input from everyone so far!

They're still all on one bus no matter how many ide connections you have, the one and only PCI bus. Generally the only 'rule' is to not to put a CD drive (or CD-RW), on the same cable as a HDD. So if you have 2 HDD's, and one or more CD drives, the HDD's go on ide0, and the CD drive(s) on ide1. Some report adding another controller (not onboard), and separating all the drives, one to a ide channel, improves performance. Still, they're all on the one PCI bus. The PCI bus is ancient in computer terms, over 10 years since it replaced the VL-bus. There's improvement on the horizon. Several competing scenarios, but the one that seems to be gaining the most favor is PCI-X, or sometimes called PCI Express. Still the gain is only from PCI's theoretical 133mb/sec, to 200mb/sec. Real world sustained transfers are at best half the theoretical rate, usually much less than half. The PCI bus has other duties besides handling all ide connections. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Hold it - you can't put a hdd on a floppy connector - that's why the cable is a different size - it has fewer wires. my only other possibility is to use the 3rd IDE connection on the motherboard, BUT, the motherboard wasn't new when i got it. bought it from a friend who assembled the computer for me. he tried to put the floppy, hard drive, and cdrw drive each on their own ribbon, but said the 3rd ribbon port on the motherboard wouldn't work. he couldn't figure out why. i can try to use it, but he took his time putting the computer together and couldn't get it to work no matter what he tried. i'll have to wait 3 more weeks til he gets back from his honeymoon to get into detail with him on everything he tried. You could try the other connector again - Make sure that you have the jumper set to 'master' and the bios set to auto-detect for each drive. Check whether the bios is seeing the drive. Another ribbon will not help you - 2 devices per ribbon is your max. What might help is an add-on pci card that will give you additional drive connectors. Anne

Re: [newbie] Mplayer
If you don't have the Mandrake rpms, and you're not using urpmi, you can use the --force option on the rpm. That will probably work, but only use it if you are certain that the 2 rpm's will satisfy all the deps. In almost all cases, RH rpms work on Mandrake systems. Sometimes you have to figure out where the rpm actually puts stuff, though, and sometimes the RH rpm is looking for deps in someplace other than where mdk has them. I generally use tarballs if the mdk rpm isn't available, and sometimes even if it is, because I have a zip disk with stuff downloaded (java, Acrobat, flash, etc), and I'm on dial-up, so I'm not going to dl anything I don't absolutely have to. e Monday 23 June 2003 01:12 pm, DrewMartin wrote: Hello All, I tried to install Mplayer from the mplayer website,but ended up going round in circles(using the RPM's for Redhat),i.e. one would not install without the other,but could not install the other one first.

[newbie] Error when trying to load KDE and Gnome
I have tried to run both KDE and Gnome and get hung up on either. They start to load and then just stop and the system hangs. I have pressed Alt Ctrl F1 to get to a prompt. From here I pressed the windows key on my keyboard. This brings up a list of errors which are scrolling by so fast I can not read them. I have been able to make out part of the error. It says "localhost xinetd [A seemingly random number] sgi fam PID [A process number I assume] from no address I can not tell what is here local host is not connected" It also flashes "warning: can't get client address" although I can not tell where this fits in. Does anyone know what this error means and how I can stop it? I should note that the number for xinetd and PID both change each time the message flashes. It seems like the system gets hung up because it is trying to perform an operation but keeps failing so it tries again. Incidentally, someone suggested that I look in var/log/messages. I tried, but I can not access the file because I do not have permission. I tried to login as root, but that does not seem to work. The login prompt I am recieving is "localhost login: "when I enter root and the password it tells me incorrect login. I know the password is correct so am I also doing something wrong here? Please, any help would be very much appreciated. Wade

Re: [newbie] Installing new hard drive...how?
Okproblems. when my friend built the computer, he said teh primary IDE connector on the motherboard was bad. well, it's not. turned out he had been trying to hook up a bad hard drive to it. so since then, everything has been running on the 2nd IDE port. the CDRW drive is the master, the hard drive is the slave. I go to put in the new hard drive today. Linux recognizes my new hard drive, windows does not, at least i don't know how to make it recognize it. now, i had tried to swap the IDE connection to put the CD and hard drive on the primary and the new hard drive on the secondary, and the newer larger drive will be used for non-system related stuff. well, if i swap them over, the computer goes to boot up, it starts to boot linux (i screwed up a setting somewhere, linux boots every time i fire the computer up, i have to exit linux to get back to windows, dual boot option doesn't come up on start up). anyway, after it starts to boot up linux, it tells me it can't find hdd7 (one of it's partitions) and just sits there and stares at me with the caps lock and scroll lock lights flashing. well, i wanna solve this problem... i've got the hardware reconfigured so i can get on (obvoiusly). what i want to do is just format the old hard drive, completly wipe it out, shut down the computer, hook everything back up the way it needs to be, configure the bios, and install my stuff from there. in doing that, will windows recognize that i have 2 hard drives right off the bat? mind you, my current 20gb drive has 3 partitions, 2 for windows and then the linux partitions. i'm not concerned with a loss of data, as any programs i need i have on cd to re-install with. so yeah, you can say i'm looking for the EASY WAY OUT, but that's what i need at this point or i'm gonna have to get frustrated again, and believe me, i'm sick of being frustrated :) i know i can do formatting of drives from disk drake, and i figure i can go in with the boot floppy i have and just format everything out from there. i'm just really lost, i'm making mistakes, and need to get everything running smoothly. i sure do ask a lot of questions...but that's how we learn i guess! thanks!

Wade Something is definitely wrong if you can't login as root - if anything, you can boot from the first CD, choose F1 at the initial prompt, then choose to run the linux resuce - once logged on, you can run passwd to change the root password and verify that you can login properly.

Re: [newbie] Dual Booting MDK9.1 and MDK9.1
Use Lilo, 1. Install Mandrake 9.1 and then when you have to configure the disk partition , make sure there are enough free space for your second Mandrake 9.1 instalation. 2. Choose lilo as the bootloader, and place it on the MBR (master boot record) on your harddisk. it's easier to use. 3. Install second Mandrake 9.1 on the rest of free partition on your harddisk. 4. Most important think, when configuring Lilo, make sure install it on the First partition of your Mandrake Instalation. It depends whether you choose boot partition on separate partition or on root partition. 5. Boot on the first Mandrake 9.1 instalation. Find your second Mandrake boot partition and after your figure it out, make the mount point of it, then edit and add it on your /etc/fstab file configuration. example : /dev/hda5 /mnt/Your_Second_Mandrake_instalation ext3defaults0 0 6. Edit your /etc/lilo.conf and add the line like this : image=/mnt/Your_Second_Mandrake_instalation/vmlinuz-2.4.18 root=/dev/hdax - your second_mandrake_root_partition read-only label=Second_Mandrake_9.1_instalation 7.
