Re: [newbie-it] sendmail envelope_from
* Arwan - ha scritto: Famme vede'... in .muttrc non c'e'. In /etc/mutt/Muttrc c'e' questo. # set envelope_from=no con tanto di commento davanti. Allora coincide, se in .muttrc non c'è e non è settato di default in /etc/Muttrc, pure da me è così, strano invece che Syd lo ha invece settato con yes che in questo modo a me mutt non mi connette. Poi usi con sendmail submit.cf o sendmail.cf ? ... ho fatto provve con entrambi, ma alla fine non ricordo cosa ho scelto... Dove posso controllare per darti l'informazione? Qui ti sei risposta da sola come fare nella fine della tua mail ;) Inoltre mi dici al prompt dei comandi che localhost hai ? dovresti avere come penso [EMAIL PROTECTED] è così ? Penso di si', ... tieni conto che sia io che syd abbiamo il localhost modificato per quanto riguarda il solo utilizzo di mutt. Il mio e' VecchioStregone.it, quello di syd, se non retto, vladimir o qualcosa di simile. Si ho notato gli header riportati in questa mia risposta e confermo il tuo localhost. Infine dato che usi la versione 1.4i di Mutt hai notato quando posponi e poi richiami con m il messaggio posposto se perdi la riga relativa all'header X-Mailer nel messaggio così richiamato ? No, non ho visto... aspe' che controllo con questa mail. Ah, dimenticavo. Ho brutalmente eliminato la riga con X mailer... non so se si veda poi qualcosa, usando il comendo h. Ho controllato ed effettivamente le mie mail non hanno X mailre, bensi' una riga con mail agent. Io ho questo difetto, lo avevo risolto con versioni di sviluppo di mutt ma purtroppo quelle versioni non funzionano bene come la 1.4.1 che ho io, a parte il particolare suddetto. Qui da me invece pure se utilizzo user agent avviene lo stesso, è un bug confermatomi anche da Syd che installando la mia versione ha notato lo stesso difetto. Cmq se non erro la 1.4 ha dei bug di sicurezza, ma non so quali. Io l'ho letto invece sul sito di redhat ma relativamente alla 1.4i la 1.4.1 che ho io è stata corretta in parte da una patch. Comunque non vedo l'ora che esca una nuova versione. Concludo con quest'ultima domanda: In .muttrc come hai settato la riga relativa a sendmail ? Io ho questa: set sendmail=/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -oi -oem -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] set sendmail=/usr/bin/sendmail -Am -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] ti chiedo questo perchè tu a differenza di me e Syd hai un header in meno nelle mail che ricevo ... Non so se quel pizzico di diversita' causi questo, ne' so dirti quali siano le eventuali differenze tra le nostre impostazioni. Come vedi non è presente la versione di sendmail e il Submit questo mi fa pensare che forse stai utilizzando sendmai.cf al posto di submit.cf oppure usi una versione più vecchia della nostra, lo credo ma non ne sono sicuro, dovrai confermarmelo tu. Non trovo l'opzione per verificare la versione corrente di sandmail Se avevi rpm bastava rpm -q sendmail ;) in compenso ho scoperto che l'opzione -Am (ho verificato ora sul man) indica l'utilizzo di sendmail.cf. Questo era quello che mi interessava brava Arwan, ciò spiega la mancanza di un headers rispetto a me e Syd che usiamo invece submit.cf, allora tu dovresti avere un'ultima versione di sendmail. Se utilizzerai allora Submit.cf che è molto facile configurare te lo assicuro, dovrai togliere -Am da set sendmail in .muttrc ed automaticamente sendmail userà per default submit.cf e ti verrà aggiunto un headers in più con la specifica della versione di sendmail, quell'header che adesso a te manca ;) Grazie per la collaborazione Arwan.

Ciao a tutti! Volevo farvi una domanda: non esiste un modo per far eseguire al caro linux più suoni contemporaneamente? Ad esempio, non è possibile ascoltare degli mp3 e intanto sentire anche gli oh-oh di licq? Senza che si blocchino a vicenda, e senza che quando finisce il primo mp3 mi arrivano gli oh-oh tutti insieme e l'esecuzione degli mp3 si fermi? Se con winzozz questo è possibile, deve pur essere possibile anche con linux, no? Grazie a tutti! Chiara -- So will a future history tell, how we've used this country well?

Un'altra cosa ancora, sono alla ricerca della espressione in .muttrc che permette di cambiare ad una risposta l'oggetto alla mail, ma allo stessso tempo il vecchio oggetto non viene cancellato come sembra ma viene inserito in automatico di seguito al nuovo con la scritta era: il vecchio messaggio.

In questa directory apri ifcfg-ppp0 con un editor come pico con i diritti di root: # pico ifcfg.ppp0 modifica o aggiungi la seguente riga USERCTL=yes Ripristina gli eventuali diritti dei file se li hai cambiati con quelli di default perchè non hai bisogno di essere root per avviare ifup e ifdown almeno non con RH (considera che gli script ifup e ifdown in RH sono presenti in etc/sysconfig/netwrk-scripts come link simbolico a /sbin/ifup e /sbin/ifdown con diritti 755 ossia possono essere solo letti ed eseguiti se non si è root ma questo basta per connettere e disconnettere se non si è root mentre per ifcfg-ppp0 i diritti sono 644 ossia il dispositivo ppp0 è reso disponibile a tutti gli user del tuo sistema locale). Una volta che il tutto funziona puoi evitare di specificare la relativa path se la aggiungi in .bash-profile. Allora è sufficiente scrivere da shell solo ifup ppp0 o ifdown ppp0 per connettere e disconnettere il tuo ISP. Potrai semplificare ancora creandoti inoltre due alias a questi comandi da inserire all'inizio in .bashrc. Quindi per connettere da shell pigiando solo il tasto $ u invio dovrai aggiungere in .bashrc la seguente riga: alias u="ifup ppp0" mentre per disconnettere: $ d invio dovrai aggiungere: alias d="ifdown ppp0" Ciao, Giuseppe.

Inoltre non mi sembra un'ottima idea aver tolto il demone rhnsd che serve a fare il check di eventuali aggiornamenti resi disponibili sul server RHN con l'applet sulla barra che ti allerta. Se comunque pensi che questo demone possa creare problemi puoi ucciderlo con il seguente comando da root utilizzando 'su -' : # service rhnsd stop e verificare ... invece per riavviare # service rhnsd start con questo sistema puoi uccidere molti altri demoni se pensi che ti diano fastidio ;) Ovviamente quando riaccenderai il computer questi servizi ti si riattiveranno.

Re: [newbie] kword crash help sought
Hi, I could start konqueror without any problems. Then I tried kword and exactly the same thing happened. I then tried something else. Clicking on a *.kwd file from konqueror.

[newbie] Playing/Running content from Mozilla
Hi all, I recently discovered how to install a few extra plugins for Mozilla including Real Player and Java. This is great - still trying to make the full move from Windows. I also have discovered MPlayer (in place of Ogle...). My question is: How can one play WMV files and other content right from Mozilla? I installed mplayerplug but that didnt' seem to work. Since Mozplugger appears more powerful (you can link office files, etc) I figured I'd try that... Office files such as .doc open fine. But still cannot automatically open wmv. If I download the wmv files and open them in MPlayer, they play fine. The problem appears to be in the linking of mozilla and mplayer? Any tips or advice you guys can offer will be greatly appeciated. Thanks! __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

Also copy the file kmatrix.kss to /usr/bin. It all works fine. When I look at the sceensavers available for using its listed there as expected. The problem is whenever I install software whether from doing an Update or from downloading new stuff the KMatrix.desktop file dissappears and the saver no longer shows up in the list.

Yes, Trend as the only primary works.

[newbie] interesting facts about kernel2.6
Hi guys, I was just reading up on the 2.6 kernel at: http://www.kniggit.net/wwol26.html And one of the new changes is that in order to use cdrw's you will no longer have to use scsi emulation.. IDE CD/RW drives can now be written to directly through the real IDE disk driver, a much cleaner implementation than before. (Previously, it was required to also use a special SCSI-emulating driver which was confusing and often difficult.) That's gonna make newbie usage much simplier. There is a ton of other cool changes too, you guys should read up on this and see what is comming. regards Franki http://htmlfixit.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I suspect that'll 1stQ, next year And one of the new changes is that in order to use cdrw's you will no longer have to use scsi emulation.. IDE CD/RW drives can now be written to directly through the real IDE disk driver, a much cleaner implementation than before. (Previously, it was required to also use a special SCSI-emulating driver which was confusing and often difficult.) That's gonna make newbie usage much simplier. There is a ton of other cool changes too, you guys should read up on this and see what is comming. Subscribe to LKML, filter '[PATCH]' posts to trash and read the rest by titles by interest. Makes it manageable. Or just check the archive every once in awhile at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernelr=1w=2 In any event, 2.6 is about six months or more away. Longer than that as the default kernel in a major distro. It'll then just be a .0 kernel, probly not quite mature. Still, I'd advise the adventurous to test it in the meantime. It will require other updates, gcc (downgraded compiler options), modutils, initrd and backward compatibility to 2.4 kernels will be touch an go for a while. 2.6 looks to be a /contrib option in 9.2 ... a test kernel. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] interesting facts about kernel2.6
Some cool things summarised from the below url for people that might not want to wade though it.. (I only picked the onces cool to me.) http://www.kniggit.net/wwol26.html - Ability to natively mount cifs filesystems (smb extended for 2000, XP+ systems) - No more scsi emulation for CDRW stuff. - Ability to run a virtual linux inside linux for testing.. linux on linux. - Much beter hardware support. - Much much better sound support. - Bluetooth. - much more reliable NFS (ver4). - full software-suspend-to-disk functionality for the Linux user on the go. - Hyperthreading (for the latest P4's). - improved support: webcams, radio and TV adapters, and digital video recorders. - built-in support for Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) hardware. (tivo like functionality) - Support for systems with multiple AGP cards. - 2.6 now supports Windows' Logical Disk Manager (aka Dynamic Disks) - mount a NTFS volume read/write. (write still experimental, but much better.) Thats all the stuff you may not have heard.. its also apparently faster and more responsive. I can't wait.. Having said all that, from reading this article. I have trouble with the idea that 2.6 would work on a 9.0 or 9.1 system.. there are some fundamental changes in the underlying structure of 2.6 that would require some changes to a 9.1 system before it would work properly. Anyway, I got all excited about this and had to share,, I am seeing someone about this problem and I hope to be able to restrain myself in future. :-) regards Franki http://htmlfixit.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

If you don't want to do that, you can ignore it. You *can* use the startup script I provided, but I really think /usr/local/bin/startxfce4 is better. If you save it as .xsession (backup your old .xsession if you have one) and choose Default in KDM, it will execute the .xsession script. It has to be executable (chmod u+x .xsession) If you just log in via command line, you can execute /usr/local/bin/startxfce4 to start xfce4. I can't really help with GDM. As far as modifying scripts, it must be a permission issue. Who owns the script you want to modify? If you're talking about something system-wide you most likely have to be root to modify it.
