 Scusate se insisto nuovamente ma riguardo al modo migliore il comando da
 usare è rgrep.
 Non lo dico io ma lo dice lo stesso man di rgrep.


Adesso non ho rgrep sul mio sistema, quindi non posso verificare.
Però, immagino che non sia molto diverso da grep -R ossia che faccia
una ricerca in modo rapido ed efficiente anche nelle sotto-directory.
L'uso combinato di find+grep,invece permette di stabilire una serie di altre
condizioni. Ad es. restringere la ricerca a file creati entro certe date, 
includere o meno i link simbolici o directory montate in NFS/samba,
escludere gli eseguibili, ... il man di find è immenso ;-)

Probabilmente, rgrep è più rapido su ricerche standard e find+grep 
più configurabile.

Tutto quello che posso dirti è che se hai installato anche windows sulla

Una volta che non mi si avviava più linux (falliva il check del filesystem

[newbie-it] procmailrc

Ciao a tutti!

Avrei bisogno di aiuto per configurare procmail in modo da cancellarmi 
certe mail: sugli account di posta di libero arriva settimanalmente la 
newsletter, che ha come mittente [EMAIL PROTECTED].
Come faccio a dirgli a procmail di buttarmela via?

Ho provato aggiungendo in .procmailrc:

:0 c
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
:0 A:
null

(Per le prove volevo fargliele spostare in una cartella diversa).

Ho quindi provato a scrivere una mail fingendomi [EMAIL PROTECTED], ma 
così facendo la mail mi viene recapitata senza problemi.

Qualcuno sa dirmi dove ho sbagliato?

Grazie,

Se fetchmail non trova specificato un MDA nel suo file di configurazione 
usa per default sendmail per la consegna locale, comunque meglio metterlo

Questo potrebbe essere un file .fetchmailrc di esempio:

poll 'tuopopinterfree'
proto pop3
user 'nomeutenteinterfree'
there with password 'segretainterfree' 
-r '/var/spool/mail/ferris/interfree'

L'unica cosa che non riesco a trovare una regola che permetta di

sia mai preoccupato di fare questa distinzione alla base, a tutti basta 
smistare solo i messaggi che rispondono a determinate regole; io voglio 
che quelli che non rispondono a determinate regole finiscano in una

facoltà voglio che sappia subito con che identità rispondere).
Intanto grazie del tempo dedicatomi!

Me l'aspettavo e la colpa è la mia, non avevo letto tutto il man fino 
alla fine, non bisognerebbe mai fare le cose di fretta,
l'opzione -r non è l'opzione giusta e non è supportata con pop 3, mi 
dispiace... 
Il problema è che non è fetchmail che consegna la posta, il 
comando is ferris here è l'indicazione a sendmail di effettuare la 
consegna nello spool di ferris che sendmail conosce perchè creato dal 
sistema di gestione della posta locale.
Questo spool credo sia generato automaticamente dal sistema MTA di default 
che gestisce la posta locale (sendmail normalmente) se si
sceglie però di installare il sistema di gestione locale della posta quando
si installa linux,
altrimenti il /var/spool/mail/utente nemmeno verrebbe creato cioè lo spool
risulterebbe vuoto.
Ora mi viene il dubbio che con la creazione manuale di una sottodirectory 
come tu hai in mente di fare a questo spool d'utente, un semplice richiamo 
in fetchmailrc non sia sufficiente a sendmail se questo nuovo utente non è 
contemplato nei file di configurazione di sendmail.  Arwan che ha seguito
fedelmente tutti i discorsi fatti ultimamente e si è convertita a mutt, che 
mi pento personalmente di aver un po maltrattato, anche a causa della mia 
conoscenza empirica, ha perso spesso il controllo della situazione durante 
le prove  all'inizio, proprio per questo motivo ( perchè aveva vuoto lo spool 
utente)  difatti non avendo installato un sistema di rete locale, anche se 
creato a mano successivamente il sistema sendmail non lo riconosceva. 
Però a suo dire dopo aver reinstallato il tutto il problema è stato risolto.
Quindi penso questo per deduzione non per una conoscenza tecnica diretta del 
problema in se. 
Per chi decidesse comunque di installare il pacchetto sendmail, una prova 
fondamentale prima fra tutte è quello di appurare se all'atto della creazione 
di un nuovo utente viene aggiunto il relativo spool d'utente 
/var/spool/mail/users.
Se questo avviene allora si può procedere con il resto.
Luigi quello che posso dirti ora è che molto probabilmente il
/var/spool/mail/ferris/lycos che vuoi creare non potrà funzionare
perchè lo spool è associato all'utente ossia l'utente è associato al sistema 
della posta e allora sicuramente ci sarà da configurare sendmail, ma potrei 
anche sbagliarmi non conoscendo bene come si configura il file .fetchmailrc 
Puoi provare per il momento a specioficare la path a is ferris/lycos here
per esempio ma sono solo prove, divertiti così per ora, tanto si impara 
sempre anche in questo modo, almeno conosci quali sono i comandi che non 
funzionano ;)
e imparerai ad apprezzare quelli che invece funzionano.

Vedi comunque di pensare a spostare le tue mailbox interfree e lycos dallo spool 
e metterle nella tua home, con procmail ti troverai bene e potrai sempre smistarle
poi come ti pare.

Ciao, Giuseppe.

[newbie-it] Mutt-1.5.4 ricompilato

2003-07-02 Thread Giuseppe Ferruzzi
Syd ho dovuto rimettere la versione 1.4.1 perchè quel source RPM
che ho scaricato sebbene avesse risolto il problema dell'header
X-Mailer nell'uso mi sono accorto di alcune irregolarità di funzionamento, 
alcuni comandi sebbene configurati per default non funzionavano, per di più 
ora ho problemi di rumori sulla linea telecom esterna e riesco a malapena a 
scaricare la posta e a inviarla, non ne parliamo di navigare in internet.
Ho fatto reclami ma qui con la privatizzazione telecom e i nuovi contratti
di lavoro tutti i dipendendi sembrano diventati isterici e io ancora sto aspettado 
una riparazione, alla fine se non si fa vedere nessuno deciderò di ripararmela 
da me (è una linea rurale su pali di legno lunga 1,5 km circa) una volta l'ho 
fatto, erano semplici giunti scoppiati a causa di forti gradienti di corrente 
indotta per fulminazione indiretta o perchè vi è entrata l'acqua e ossidati, questi 
fili hanno un'anima di acciaio rivestito di rame, se entra l'acqua nel giunto si 
verifica un effetto galvanico tra i due metalli che provoca una veloce corrosione 
dell'anima di acciaio e poi la sottile copertura di rame cede.
Scusami per la divagazione, potresti passarmi qualche indirizzo dove poter scaricare 
gli srpm di mutt vers. 1.5.4 per redhat così da provarne di altri autori ?
Tanto la procedura di ricompilare con srpm è veloce me ne puoi mandare più di uno 
che li provo tutti sperando che ci sia uno che sia preciso come l'1.4.1 ma che 
abbia risolto con X-Mailer.
Ti ringrazio. Nel frattempo voglio rispolverare quel sistema che dicesti ad arwan
postponendo il messaggio solo testo e richiamarlo con gli headers rigenerati.

Ciao, Giuseppe.

perso tutti i miei file?!?!?,  Pollo   ha scritto:

  che è successo al disco?
  ci hai lavorato, hai usato qualche tool per partizionare, è andata
  ia la luce...


 Non ho fatto proprio niente. Ti spiego l'evoluzione dei fatti: ho
 creato una partizione con diskdrake nello spazio vuoto di hda. Poi ho
 copiato circa 3GB di dati dall'harddisk hdb. Fino a qui tutto
 funzionava bene. Riuscivo a creare cartelle, muovere file, tutto. Ho
 spento il computer e ho tolto l'harddisk hdb (era di un amica...),
 impostato il bios e riavviato. Ma al riavvio mi è comparso il
 messaggio di errore che ho riportato prima...


per fortuna che non hai fatto niente!

hai solo partizionato il disco senza spegnere e riaccendere il pc...
la  tabella delle partizioni viene letta all'avvio
se la modifichi questa viene scritta su disco,
al riavvio il sistema legge la nuova tabella quindi si riesce a 
formattare scrivere e fare i consueti danni..

andare a formattare un disco appena creato, o meglio, che usa una 
tabella appena creata, è rischioso,
l'esperienza insegna che è meglio un riavvio in questi casi..

ora il tuo caso è di una tabella diversa dallo stato dei dischi
devi ricordarti la dimensione della nuova partizione,
quindi con fdisk o diskdrake, ricrea la partizione IDENTICA a quella che 
sembra essere sparita
avrai la riscrittura del superblock e *dovresti* rileggere tutti i dati

chiaro che se sbagli dimensione puoi non leggere più nulla...

 A tutti i Guru

visto che i guru sono impegnati ti rispondo io, ok?
;P


 Allora, tempo fà avevo una mandrake 7.1 installata su un PC P200 Mhz
 128 Mb di Ram.

 poi con il tempo si era scassato l'hard disk sono riuscito a ghostare
 il tutto e salvare
 tutti i dati che avevo dentro.

 Il problema è che il disco non faceva + il boot, pensando che era
 ancora incasinato
 ho fatto l'upgrade alla Mandrake 8.2 ed ora la macchina mi chiede di
 partire con
 Linux oppure Old_Linux e funziona tutto bene.

old linux è il vecchio kernel, suppongo

hai installato sopra alla vecchia distribuzione, vero?


 E' possibile ritornare indietro rimuovere tutta la versione 8.2 ?
 senza scancellare la 7.1?

solo se hai installato su una partiizione distinta..
altrimenti hai sovrascritto tutto...

se hai l'immagine fatta con ghost puoi sempre ripristinarla 
avviare quindi con un cd o un floppy,
montare la partizione root 
fare chroot (in questo modo ti troverai dentro il sistema, esattamente 
come se avessi avviato con lui)
e lanciare lilo

questo (se non hai modificato la posizione del disco) sarà sufficiente a 
far ripartire il sistema

ghost (mi pare) non ripristini il mbr ..

controllo filesystem fallito?!,  AF   ha scritto:

 Uso ext3, il disco finora non ha dato alcun problema, credo sia sano,
 il problema dovrebbe derivare solo dall'improvviso blocco del pc e
 quindi dalle eventuali incongruenze.

uso da sempre reiser, quindi la mia conoscenza di ext3 è quella che 
avevo di ext2 più poche cose che ho letto (non lo reputo un gran 
sistema, a meno di non avere una macchina in funzione, quindi 
impossibilità a formattare e necessità di retrocompatibilità, ma è una 
mia idea..)

vediamo un pò come funziona ext3

Allo Spegnimento GNU/ Linux sincronizza sul disco tutti i dati contenuti 
incache quindi  i filesystem vengono smontati.
 al boot  viene eseguito fsck che fa un controllo di tutti i filesystem 
trovati in  /etc/fstab; affinchè  tutti i meta-dati  siano integri e 
utilizzabili. 
 In caso di spegnimento sporco peròè  probabile che i meta-dati non 
siano utilizzabili  ; per correggere il problema, fsck inizia una 
scansione   tentando di  correggere i vari errori (in definitiva 
cercando di riportare in stato consistente i metadati, anche al rischio 
di perdita delle ultime modifiche)
Questo metodo è sicuro, ma  lentissimo, dovendo controllare tutto il 
disco; quindi  per superarlo sono stati realizzati sistemi  
journalling, che   aggiungono una sorta di diario;
 cioè prima di modificare  i meta-dati, il driver di gestione dei fs 
scrive nel   journal cosa sta per fare.
Quando il fs viene montato, se non  è  integro, grazie al   journal, (un 
log cronologico delle ultime modifiche ai meta-dati) potrà tornare   
indietro in stato di consistenza in pochi  secondi.

Riallacciandoci al tuo errore quindi, se al boot non hai avuto una 
risposta positiva, è probabile che ci siano corruzioni che vanno oltre 
le semplici inconsistenze dovute allo spagnimento sporco, 
l'unico modo per capirlo è analizzare i log e vedere bene quale sia 
l'errore che fsck ti ha dato al riavvio,
quindi se necessario verificare lo stato del disco

[newbie] acroread won't print

2003-07-02 Thread Eric Huff
Anyone know why i wouldn't be able to get acroread to print?

Other programs print the same files with the same command. /usr/bin/lp, lpr, etc.

The only reason i wanna print from acroread is i have a screwed up pdf that only it 
and xpdf can see.  It's screwed up enough, though, that xpdf won't print it.  (and 
oddly, the acrobat for winblows won't open it either.)

Acroread acts like it is printing it, but no jobs show up, and nothing happens.  I did 
try a known good pdf with acroread, but still no pronting.  So i have hopes that if i 
can get it to pring at all, it will print my borked file.

Acroread's printing to ps is screwed, too...   (pdf2ps doesn't do it either.)


I know it's a long shot...

thanks!

That's weird.

I'm using an NVidia GeForce 2 32MB card with the 4363 drivers from

.avi files play fine in mplayer. Do you have the most recent version

[newbie] Reporting Missing rpm Dependencies for kdelibs-3.1-58mdk.src.rpm

Guys,

Had an earlier posting on this list with a problem compiling
kdelibs-3.1-58mdk.src.rpm targetting athlon architecture. After some
trouble I traced the faults (with the help of some other linux users,
including Stephen Kuhn - thanks!) to two missing package dependencies
NOT asked for when rebuilt. They are

libgdbm2-devel-1.8
kdelibs-devel-3.1-58

In the interests of the linux community (and other peoples sanity) I
would like to report these so it is not a problem in the future.

How do I do that?

As far as I understand, the cooker mailing list and bugzilla are for
cooker only, not the current release.

So what do I do?

Actually I do not think there is anything wrong that needs reporting.
The spec file contained within an RPM contains the list of dependent packages 
for the *binary* RPM not the packages needed to compile from src.  If you 
were to add those two '-devel' packages to the spec file then they would be 
necessary to install the binary RPM.

I think it is expected that people building RPMs from source should know how 
to resolve the compiling dependencies themselves.

 Somebody scribbled about Re[2]: [newbie] *Fast* file contents search tool?
 I checked out glimpse. It is a text indexer, and can do some

 I see. I haven't explored this. If you look for 'indexing' on 
 sourceforge.net there are a couple of hits. docsearcher seems to be able 
 to look inside non-text files (excel,word, etc.) but it's in java and 
 personally java to me means slow and bloated :). 
 
 Compilation is not all that difficult. speaking from experience, keeping 
 track of non-rpm sources and integrating them into mandrake-friendly 
 installs is a little more tricky. of course, you can do the compile and 
 install in /usr/local/bin.

Late in the thread, but . . .

I'm using Namazu to index Mailman/Pipermail archives. Out of the box
this will index many types of files, and if you look around you can
sometimes find a filter for other file types.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] filter]$ pwd
/usr/local/share/namazu/filter
[EMAIL PROTECTED] filter]$ l
bzip2.pl excel.pl  html.pl  msword.pl  powerpoint.pl  tex.pl

deb.pl   hdml.pl   man.pl   pipermail.pl   rpm.pl
dvi.pl   hnf.plmhonarc.pl   postscript.pl  taro.pl

(The Pipermail filter is not included in the package; somebody wrote it
and passed it along to me.)

Nice thing about it, you can run searches from the commandline, or use a web
interface.

You may have set the system to use DHCP for resolution of not just the
IP address, but the hostname as well - you might want to go through all
your networking configurations and reset the hostname so that it's
static - as well, it's always a good thing.

Commercial vendors sometimes take pot-shots at open-source software

that the latest version of Apache Web server is comparable in quality to

That is definitely one of the best ways of preserving email format and
data - provided, of course, that you have an IMAP server, or the ability
to set one up.

In the past, when I've had customers that have had damaged OE or Outlook
mail boxes that contain viruses/bugs and it hoses up their entire
system, I've copied the data to the IMAP server, deleted the problematic
email(s) and/or bugs, uninstalled their old email client, deleted the
stored mail, reinstalled their email client software, then copied all
their data back down into their client. Magic!

One customer had taken their box to three different shops around town
and everyone said Has to be completely blown out and you'll loose all
your email - and this person had some sensitive stuff to their research
(they're a writer) - I was the last stop. Took 45 minutes, saved every
damn piece of mail and got rid of the nasties.

 You will also need to delete your current source.
 You can do that from the

  Make sure you have a 'gdm...rpm' installed.
  'rpm -qa | grep -i gdm'if that doesn't return a gdm rpm, then 
there's one on your CD's.

Sounds like you don't have hostname changed in all the files it appears in.

Here, I always check the following files:

/etc/hosts
/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcg-eth0

I used to always check these when I was using a direct dial-up. Now that I'm

  Anyone know why i wouldn't be able to get acroread to print?
  
  Other programs print the same files with the same command. /usr/bin/lp, lpr, etc.
  
  The only reason i wanna print from acroread is i have a screwed up pdf that only 
  it and xpdf can see.  It's screwed up enough, though, that xpdf won't print it.  
  (and oddly, the acrobat for winblows won't open it either.)
  
  Acroread acts like it is printing it, but no jobs show up, and nothing happens.  I 
  did try a known good pdf with acroread, but still no pronting.  So i have hopes 
  that if i can get it to pring at all, it will print my borked file.
  
  Acroread's printing to ps is screwed, too...   (pdf2ps doesn't do it either.)

 
 So you don't have CUPS setup and running?

Yeah, it's setup and running.  Other progs use lp as the command, and they still show

 Try setting your print command to 'qtcups --stdin'

I get this error when i print that way:

kbuildsycoca running...

However, i think this qtcups command may solve other problems. There are other 
programs that require a command for printing, and i wondered how to get them to print

There are a lot of lp based commands, that have always confused me.  I guess it's

I'm trying to install Mandrake 9.1 at one of our servers. Unfortunataly when
it comes to the install of the packages, I get a whole lot of package error
and the installation hangs completely. The CDs I used worked on my home

Is this a question of hardware (cdrom especially)? Did anyone have the same

As a matter of fact yes.  The base backup is 13491338168 bytes while the first

I'm not sure if Konqueror is capable of dealing with files that big. I

I also believe that tar has a file size limit of 2 GB.

[newbie] Interview: Gaël Duval on finances

2003-07-02 Thread Lyvim Xaphir
Source URL:
http://mozillaquest.com/Linux_News03/MandrakeClustering_Story01.html

Excerpt:
_
Mandrake's Good Financial News

After MandrakeSoft filed the equivalent of a U.S. Chapter 11 bankruptcy,
it set about a restructuring designed to make MandrakeSoft a financially
viable operation. We asked Gaël Duval about that in our e-mail
discussions about the MandrakeClustering announcement.

MozillaQuest Magazine: How are you coming along with finances and the
bankruptcy?

Gaël Duval: No big news, but we have nearly finished our internal
restructuring, with a strong commitment to doing business.

Gaël Duval: We should be out of the chapter-11 protection in about 8
months (it takes time!).

MozillaQuest Magazine: I think lots of people will be glad to hear that
you are coming along with the finances and bankruptcy.

Gaël Duval: The situation is really better than before for two reasons:

1) MandrakeSoft reorganization is nearly finished and 2) we have focused
much on the business side.

MozillaQuest Magazine: This is good to hear also.

MozillaQuest Magazine: By the business side, is that the Mandrake
Corporate server and now the MandrakeClustering?

Gaël Duval: They are part of our plans to extend the business!

MozillaQuest Magazine: Is the book (The Definitive Guide to Using
Mandrake Linux) part of that too?

Gaël Duval: It's part of the current plan as well. The good thing is that
at the same time, it answers a strong demand from Mandrake users.

MozillaQuest Magazine: Anything else within that which you call the
business side?

Gaël Duval: Improving the Club, improving MandrakeStore: these things
also help us to make more business everyday.

[newbie] Canon Cameras. . .

2003-07-02 Thread Frank Roberts - SOTL
Hi All 

I noticed Greg and Stephen posting concerning Canon Cameras so I accelerated 
my setup of my Canon S200 on my Thinkpad on the Mandrake 9.1 side.

I connected the camera, turned it one, and started searching for how to 
download the pictures.

First I noticed that Hard Drake found that there was a Canon camera connected 
to the USB port but I did not recognize the model.

Following this I was unable to find any program among my list of 28 Multimedia 
Graphics programs I have installed. 
I have a few more installed than in a standard installation.  

Thus I would appreciate if someone could be a bit more explicit in what is 
required for download camera images.

One additional item XSane is installed but not configured yet. Is this 
required?

Thanks

[newbie] Problem accessing floppy

2003-07-02 Thread Johan Scheepers
Hi,
After making a bootdisk with GRUB per instructions- (the bootdisk works
fine)-  I am not able to access the disk after reboot if mounted like :
/mnt/floppy
It seems to mount but if you say like ls then after a lot of activity you
get i/o error.
Eventually after a lot of grief I tried to mount like :
 mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
Now you may access.
For info  : the first of the instructions to make this bootdisk is : mke2fs
/dev/fd0.
Question why - other times you stick in
a floppy mount and access.
Is it the file system that now forces you to mount the floppy like a
partition?
Please any ideas.
Thanks
Johan

   Do it like this:
  
   man lilo | col -b  lilo_manpage.ps
  
   Then, you can open a nice postscript viewer/editor and make it all
   pretty and then print it at leisure! (or save it to view as you
   desire, or change it into an HTML file for indexing on your system)
 
  or try piping it through a2ps, which will format it nicely for you
  (check out man a2ps - there are tons of formatting options).


 Erm..
 man has an option to output postscript.

 man -t lilo  lilo_manpage.ps
 ghostview lilo_manpage.ps

 (man -t complains about a couple of fonts, but it works OK.)
 That gives you all the nice bold/italic highlighting etc. that you lose
 with col.

 Par works with WinRar AFAIK only.  its a way of making sure redundancy
 is 
 built in so that if you miss one RAR archive the PAR's can be used to
 build 
 a coherent set of archives anyway.

 FemmeFatale, aka The Skirt


And it does that extremely well.  Rar is the bomb.  I use it for
archiving to cdrom, for that very reason; if an archive segment gets
blown out by a bad sector on a cd, then I can reconstruct the archive
array using the recovery information.

If you need Rar, Vincent Danen maintains an mdk rpm on his site,

You really don't need anything more than to mount the camera - just as
if it were a hard drive. You should be able to run kdf and in the list
of mountable devices, the camera should show up; right-click on it and
you should be able to mount it. Once you've mounted it, you can copy the
images where you so desire; then you can delete the images, or use the
camera to format the memory again. Simple as that.

So, I must say that the seat socket can come unplugged. I found that my sound

the plugin for the back speakers. I put the plug in the next socket over and 
I had sound in the xmms and games. My only excuse is that in the wrong socket

 original file, save d/l'g by not needing all the rar parts, no?

Par files are not like zips or other compressed files and you cant extract 
from them directly. They are of use when you are unable to get all the files 
in a large group of files, typically rars. More about how it works here:
http://www.slyck.com/ng.php?page=6 

par is quitting on you as you have no rars, and therefore it doesn't have 
enough information to rebuild anything from the pars - it rebuilds all or 
nothing. 

(You can make pars for files other than rars. If you wanted you could make 
pars for a mixed group of file-types all of different sizes. The pars you 
made would all be the size of the largest member of that group.)

Use Ethereal to find out what ports it's trying to flood out, then close
the ports. So I take it you haven't installed portsentry and all that
jazz yet?

(If you can't find portsentry on the web, I have it stashed at:

...just in case, mate...)

The justifications for drug testing are part of the presently fashionable
debate concerning restoring America's competitiveness. Drugs, it has been
revealed, are responsible for rampant absenteeism, reduced output, and poor
quality work.  But is drug testing in fact rationally related to the
resurrection of competitiveness?  Will charging the atmosphere of the
workplace with the fear of excretory betrayal honestly spur productivity?
Much noise has been made about rehabilitating the worker using drugs, but
to date the vast majority of programs end with the simple firing or the not
hiring of the abuser.  This practice may exacerbate, not alleviate, the
nation's productivity problem.  If economic rehabilitation is the ultimate
goal of drug testing, then criteria abandoning the rehabilitation of the
drug-using worker is the purest of hypocrisy and the worst of rationalization.
-- The concluding paragraph of Constitutional Law: The
   Fourth Amendment and Drug Testing in the Workplace,
   Tim Moore, Harvard Journal of Law  Public Policy, vol.
   10, No. 3 (Summer 1987), pp. 762-768.

Synopsis: HP will be selling one of their _desktop_ lines with an option of XP

here, folks, we're talking desktops! And we ain't talking Red Hat, Suse or

survive, but that Mandrake is the best solution to putting Linux on desktops. 
Looks good to me.

(There's also a current thread on Slashdot about this. It's the usual /. 
stuff.)

RE: [newbie] neat trick: man completion

2003-07-02 Thread Kaminsky Moshe

Hi,

At least in zsh, completion is programmable: there is a context
sensitive completion that you can define for any command, and it is all
done with the same key (tab for me, but you can change that). And zsh
comes with completion already programed for almost anything I use (eg
make targets after 'make', perl modules with 'perldoc' and with the -M
switch, and, of course, man topics after 'man'). I don't know if bash
has this as well

 Haven't seen it before, but very useful:
 
 To use word completion with man, hit ESC !.
 
 IE:

 pk2bm   pkg-config  pkill   pktogf  pktopbm pktype
 
 and it gave all the solutions.

Hi.
I'm trying to upload a site with Gftp, but there's something worng. I'm sure 
all the parametres (host, port, user, password) are correct. Here is the log.

Do I need a special privilege to do it ? I have checked the KDE control center 
and it says SMB and NFS servers are not installed. Do I really need one the 
them ? (I'm just a desktop user, so I think there's no need to install them.)

Thanks for any tip.
