I don't know what you mean by "Alunix enabled."

If this is for a new installation of MDK 9.0 or 9.1, then the default will 
have Alsa drivers set up, and you will need to turn up the Alsa Master volume 
control type "alsamixer" at a console prompt. You should be able to figure 
out how to set the volume there.

The next thing is to set the KDE volume control, K/Multimedia/Kmix. It will 
open a little mixer board where you can set input and output volumes.

But aside from Kaboodle, I much prefer XMMS for MP3's and its more 
configurable. But that's another lesson.

Re: [newbie] DVD writing software

Just an observation to this thread. From whats been said, you can't do a 1 to 
1 copy of commercial DVDs but with 4.x gigs of data, you sure could use 
Mencoder with very -high- settings to make a darn near perfect Divx file, 
right?

I mean, considering that it makes very good quality movies from DVD that fit 
onto a single 650 meg CD-ROM right now. :-)

Just a thought!

Umm, yes, there is a DC plugin, but it won't help you much. The problem here is
edonkey, it's a leacher. Most DC hubs immediately block any donkey client trying
to connect, due to the reason that mldonkey cannot share, just leach in DC. I
totally agree with them, because any client made for this sole purpose is a
curse on such a network.

I still say DC all the way, but not via mldonkey ;-)

Sounds like it either can't find your encoder or you have specified some
invalid command line options to the encoder.

What encoder are you using? Under config > encode, what command line

Re: [newbie] My winmodem used to work!

[Erylon Hines]

minicom probably isn't installed.  I haven't used it in a loong time, but 
it used to be on the disks "somewhere".  Tryurpmi minicom

Did you check your ttyS to see where your modem actually resides?  Kppp, 
setup, Device, and try the ttyS's in order, going back to the Modem panel and 
querying the modem each time.  If you can't find the modem that way, 
something is seriously messed up.  If your system does find it, you can 
probably just re-create the link from the ttyS to /dev/modem.

The lt modem driver definitely needs that link because it is referenced in 
your /etc/modules.conf

OK, I don't know for sure what I did differently this time but after two 
reinstalls of both 9.1 and 9.2beta1 and three rewrites of lilo.conf I have a 
viable lilo boot screen. The last time I rewrote lilo and then mounted the 
/dev/hdc1 to /mnt/linux-0 and then did /sbin/lilo. I have no idea if there is 
a need for this sequence or not. I also installed 9.1 on hda and in diskdrake 
left hdc blank. Then when I went to install 9.2 on hdc I had a blank 
partition table to write to. Also unknown if this was necessary. But it works 
now. 
Stubborn to a fault or just persistent, I prefer the latter when describing my 
temperament. But it works!

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but I think the answer is no.  I

Stephen,
   Thank you for your response.  /dev/modem doesn't exist, but I guess it
used to because I used to be able to dial up with Penggy.  I'm not sure how
to open minicom.  I typed minicom into a terminal as root and as a regular
user and it was just a "bad command".

[newbie] New plans for old hardware.

[ThinKer]

Killing the attempt to get the Pentium 120 to do anything. I am
salvaging what I can and moving them to the  New Plan.

I just got an old Dell Optiplex GX1 with a 450Mhz PII. I can probably
get 512 MB of RAM in it. I have (2) IDE 4.1 GB HDs, (1) IDE 1.2 GB HD,
(1) IDE CD ROM, and (2) 9.0 GB SCSI Drives with a controller card.

Here is what I have in my head. Please tell me I am not crazy. (or tell
me how crazy I am.)

1. I would like to install Both Debian and Mandrake 9.1 on it. M9.1
would be my main installation, but I would like to have Debian on it to
see what it is like and how it runs.

  a. Question: Can I create one swap partition and use it for both
installations? 

  b. Question: What is the advantage of 9.1 over 9.0? When 9.2 comes out
can I just upgrade?

  c. Question: If I can put both (maybe 3 - SuSE 8.2?) distributions on
this machine, and later I decide that I really like one more than the
other, can I reclaim the space in the working OS?   

2. I would like to run two monitors on this machine. It has a 4MB video
card built in, but I have an 8MB PCI video card that I can slap in it. I
would like to run two screens for web development programs and such.
(code on one, view on the other). Is this possible?

[newbie] audio software

[T C]

I am interested in trying out some sound editing software and I am
hoping to get opinions on 2 of them: Rosegarden and Ardour. Since I am
stuck on dialup downloading both of them is not really an option,
although that would be the best way to check them out. What do some of
you think of these programs? I intend to either import sound files from
a Roland recorder, or eventually use one of these programs as a hard
disk recorder, and MIDI control is not a particular need at this time.
Thanks for sharing your opinions on this.

Has anyone installed two MLinux on two seperate HDs on the same

I am trying to do it so that I can beta test and yet run the

suggestions are appreciated, I have not found anything to help.
 

It would truly be a matter of properly writting out the
/etc/lilo.conf of the first installation; the first installation
would write the lilo to the MBR of the first HD; then after
you've done all that wonderful jazz and gotten your primary
installation up and running, do a second installation on the
"second" drive, but choose to NOT write lilo; then make note of
the boot partition for the second installation and whatnot, and
then write that into the /etc/lilo.conf on the first drive.
   

Thanks Stephen, that is essentially what I am trying to do, just
not getting it right. I will try a clean install of the beta and
not write lilo I think this is where I screwed up. Thanks again,
 

Just wondering - if you installed to the second drive without the
first attached and let it write its lilo, wouldn't that give you the
info you need?  Then re-attaching the first drive it would boot from
the original lilo, Ithink, and you could add the necessary stanza?
Or am I crazy 

Anne
   

I tried that a while back and ran into a problem with the kernel image not 
being on hda, caused a kernel panic for the second OS boot. I am not having 
much luck here, if I format both disks when installing the first OS it won't 
let me name the 2nd harddrive other than /tmp or /var/www etc.  So I know 
this can be done and civileme tried to explain how to do it using a /obj 
partition, but I must be to dense to figure that one out.  I can not name two 
/ partitions or two /home etc without getting a conflict.  So anyone see how 
my head is screwed on backwards?
 

 

I must say I don't actually have one /home partition, I just let each OS 
have a /home directory as part of / base , so my experience is not the 
same as yours, but having said that, I cannot see why you need two /home 
partitions anyway.
I do have a /boot partition which keeps that simple.
I take it you have all your partitioning done with mandrake's diskdrake, 
so diskdrake ought to just recognise the second drive and designate it 
hdb, it always has for me.
I then click on the second tab for hdb and begin to partition as 
required, if this the second OS install , I designate the /base 
partition , format and proceed to install. You already have a /swap so 
that's ok,
When your done installing you don't seem to have choice these days and 
have to install a new lilo which will boot up initially from the last , 
that is second OS, install's  /etc/lilo.conf, when on sesktop make a 
fresh stanza to boot the first OS and reboot to that OS,where if you 
prefer to have the bootup done from the first OS /etc/lilo.conf, merely 
add a new stanza to boot the second OS and run /sbin/lilo to rewrite mbr 
lilo again. If you don't mind booting from the second OS /etc/lilo.conf 
then your merely have to add that stanza to boot the first OS. Sounds 
complicated but isn't.

You must, I think, have the /boot partition on the first hda, I don't 
think it works putting it on the second hdb . I always put mine in as 
the frist partition on hda, but I don't think it's imperative anymore.

There's a prettyy good hosts file at

(it's the one I use)
just unzip, open it with your preferred editor and copy it to /etc/hosts.

I've added a few to it but all in all it blocks most ads.

It's actually meant for a windows HOSTS file but works just the same on linux.

You need to go here;

http://www.ivor.it/wireless/acx.html for the binary driver that I have
used to set up my D-Link520+ or follow the links off to the the
Sourceforge acx100 OSS driver development page - they have come a long
way
and many people are reporting successes with both your card and router.
I have been running the binary driver for over a month now without a
glitch but they do take a little bit of work to get going.

At this pount you should be able to see your Linux computer in the Windows 
'Network Neighboourhood' together with its printer. Then it is just a matter 
of selecting that to be the default printer for Windows. Its a long time 
since I used Windows, but don't you have to right click on the printer and 
select 'Bind to port' or something like that?

If you cannot see your Linux machine in Network Neighbourhood then the 
favourite reason is a Firewall active blocking Samba traffic.  Make sure your 
firewall is disabled.  (You can always enable it again later once Samba is 
working)

If you install the 'LinNeighborhood' and 'samba-client' RPMs then you can run 
LinNeighborhood which works like Network Neighbourhood. You will see all the 
Windows computers and the Linux computer/printer.

Yup. After reloading the page, the location bar showed

Then when I refreshed the page as super user, it displayed the

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
 

Here's why it did it:

In Konqueror:
View => Use index.html
You'll notice that it is checked.  Uncheck it and you won't have the 
problem.

This is a very annoying feature in my opinion.  I can't get it to stay 
off.  I've tried turning it off and then saving the configuration for 
"File Management", but it won't go away.
   

Precisely why I don't want an all-in-one app; I prefer a dedicated file
manager and web browser.
Just out of curiosity, if you uncheck "Use index.html" will it still
resolve http://www.site.com/ to http://www.site.com/index.html on the
web? If it didn't that would be really annoying.
Todd

I believe that function is server side.  You choose, on the server, the 
default page delivered to someone who goes to your web address.  
Changing Konqueror wouldn't affect that.

Thanks Tom, I'll read up on that.  I've got a test machine I'm kinda fooling around a

how 2.6 was.  I'll see what I can do with the source.  If nothing else just reading 
the docs would be interesting for me.

Thanks again!

You need to go here;

http://www.ivor.it/wireless/acx.html for the binary driver that I have
used to set up my D-Link520+ or follow the links off to the the
Sourceforge acx100 OSS driver development page - they have come a long way
and many people are reporting successes with both your card and router.
I have been running the binary driver for over a month now without a
glitch but they do take a little bit of work to get going.

Check that the link (/dev/modem) actually exists; it could have been
blown out - also check that there exists the module that loads you modem
and aliases it in your /etc/modules.conf - you can test it with minicom
from a terminal - after minicom opens up, check it's setup/configuration
- and you should SHOULD be able to type in basic commands such as AT &V
(to view the configuration of the modem) and AT I4 for the modem NVRAM
info; what has changed or been reconfigured since it last worked?

Precisely why I don't want an all-in-one app; I prefer a dedicated file
manager and web browser.

Just out of curiosity, if you uncheck "Use index.html" will it still
resolve http://www.site.com/ to http://www.site.com/index.html on the
web? If it didn't that would be really annoying.

When you save a bookmark in gFTP, check "Remember password" and you

I have a small 8GB drive with lilo installed, It has win98 and mandrake. I 
installed on this drive because my second drive is a raid 0 array. When I got 
the kernel compiled with the raid drivers I then copied the system to the 
raid array and added a section in lilo for it.

On the array is win98, win2k, and mandrake each with an entry in LILO. THese 
are the ones I use. If the array gets hosed I can boot win98 or mandrake off 
the small drive and fix the problem i.e. re-compile the kernel or whatever.

The main reason I do this is because I never could get lilo on the raid array, 
the 2 times I tried broke the array and lost the partitions. Or when I'd 
upgrade the kernel the raid driver had to be re-compiled.

Does that mean that we are going to be forced to pay for many,

able to buy some films in the 'special' editions, with heaven

LOL... It's not like you are being "forced" to buy this extras
shit, but more like they add it for the sole-purpose of filling
the DVD beyond the 4.x limit of blank DVD's.
   

It seems that increasingly the big box office hits are being
released only in 2-disk sets, with the second one being full of
the extras. Even when that isn't so, a film with 'extras' is
often higher priced than the majority of films, so I think I *am*
being forced to buy them if I want the film.
 

I have had discussions
about this too with many people. Some say that's bullshit, and
that those extras are to make it more interesting for the

Not one.

/home/graham/index.html. I had saved the page with this name although 
I don't remember when or why. From the regular user Konqueror, I 
deleted it.
Then when I refreshed the page as super user, it displayed the 
contents of my home directory like it was supposed to.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.


Here's why it did it:

In Konqueror:
View => Use index.html
You'll notice that it is checked.  Uncheck it and you won't have the 
problem.

This is a very annoying feature in my opinion.  I can't get it to stay 
off.  I've tried turning it off and then saving the configuration for 
"File Management", but it won't go away.

Thanks.  I was looking for a setting in config and wondering why I 
couldn't find anything.  You're dead right about it being annoying, 
especially if the feature switches itself on for no apparent reason.

I shall have to remember, when saving web pages, not to save them under 
the name "index.html" just in case it does it again.

Hey Rich. I've got an Epson C62 here and it works great. I've never used it 
under Windows but its never had the problem you describe above under Mandrake 
here...

Only problem I've ever had with it was when I used one of those cheap, generic 
"Amazon" refill cartridges. It growled, clacked, and carried on something 
awful. (wouldn't work either!). 

I called Epson and they said put a "true" Epson replacement cartridge back in 
it and watch it take off. They were right. They also filled me in on 
something that I did not know - if you use a non-Epson cartridge, it voids 
the warranty. (that sounds like BS, but thats what they said).

It is BS.  It's also against the law.  *They* have to be able to prove 
that the third party cartridge was what killed the printer if you ever 
make a claim under their warranty.

Anyways, I'm running mine via USB, never tried the printer port. Which way are 
you running it and can you switch just to see if it makes a diff?

Mike - does HardDrake recognise it as a SBLive?  The reason I ask is 
that many cards that were sold as such are actually other models.  
For instance, I have a box here with a card that I originally bought 
as a SBLive, but Mandrake says it is an Ensoniq, and with the es 
driver it works fine.

Hey Rich. I've got an Epson C62 here and it works great. I've never used it

here...

Only problem I've ever had with it was when I used one of those cheap, generic

I had a little problem getting a "cheap" refill to work, but it finally did.  It behaves the same no matter which cart I use.


I called Epson and they said put a "true" Epson replacement cartridge back in 
it and watch it take off. They were right. They also filled me in on 
something that I did not know - if you use a non-Epson cartridge, it voids

Printer port on the table top machine and USB on the laptop - same results.

HardDrake recommends somelike (I not at my machine) cs49xx but if you use that one it 
errors out on boot.  I have it set at cs4232 and it worked at one time. But as it says 
above, aumix kept setting mute all, until it quit running.

RE: [newbie] DVD writing software

[Tony S. Sykes]

If anyone wants me to do any testing I have a DVD writer, so I can try
things to help people make decisions. I tend to use W2k (God forbid) to
back up my DVD's as there is software for that at the moment which
allows you to rip the cd without macro vision (needed for the resizing
process) resize to the required size ( >4.7gb and remove extra's if
desired) then remake the structure files if needed, then use Nero to
burn to the DVD. For some reason I always seem to get jumps in the film
though, never a perfect copy.

It seems that increasingly the big box office hits are being released 
only in 2-disk sets, with the second one being full of the extras.  
Even when that isn't so, a film with 'extras' is often higher priced 
than the majority of films, so I think I *am* being forced to buy 
them if I want the film.

[newbie] UTF-8 with AwStats

[Stefano Pogliani]

Running awstats I get few "annoyances" due to the presence of some 
northern-europe characters in the awstats configuration files.
So, the reports I got generated contains lines such as

Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected non-continuation byte 0x6d, 
immediately after start byte 0xe4) at /usr/share/awstats/lib/robots.pm 
line 413.

How is it possible to avoid this ? Which configuration should I use ?

OK, "no".

Did you by any chance save that page in your home directory?

Yup. After reloading the page, the location bar showed 
/home/graham/index.html. I had saved the page with this name although 
I don't remember when or why. From the regular user Konqueror, I 
deleted it.
Then when I refreshed the page as super user, it displayed the 
contents of my home directory like it was supposed to.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.


Here's why it did it:

In Konqueror:
View => Use index.html
You'll notice that it is checked.  Uncheck it and you won't have the 
problem.

This is a very annoying feature in my opinion.  I can't get it to stay 
off.  I've tried turning it off and then saving the configuration for 
"File Management", but it won't go away.

On 98 you have the choice of how you set it up, but I find the easiest 
to get going is to install the driver on the local machine, then set 
up samba to use that driver.  Use the add-printer wizard on win98, 
stating that it's a networked printer.  It's pretty straightforward - 
except that you have to find the entry that allows you to change 
output from EPP (I think it is) to raw.

It's also worth electing to automatically connect at bootup (on the 
win box).

Maureen, if you see the memory card on your desktop, then go to a konsole and 
as su  type in "mount  /dev/sda1"  and then enter konqueror file browser and 
navigate to /mnt, you should see the memory_card entry, click on it and then 
click on dcim or something like it and your photos should pop up.  They can 
be saved to a file from there, but you can preview them first so the download 
time from camera is much shorter than if you use gtkam or another frontend.

Original MS-DOS was based on Q-DOS which gates boutght for USD 50,000
after being approached by IBM who had been turned away by wife of
developer of C/PM.
Q-DOS was based on CP/M.

After IBM took possesion of MS-DOS they had to sort out over 300 bugs in
4,000 lines of code changed name tp PC-DOS (that's why it's licensed to
MS & IBM).

So, unless MS business practices changed drastically cince then, I think
it's safe to assume that there's a fair bit in there.

That's fine, Ralph.  I'll read around if I get any further with this.

 

Storage was the other
solution.. like backups, which would be the only reason why I may

I thought of that too, but realistically, I'm not sure I fancy a 
multisession disk that bit   It would take me quite a while to 
fill it if I save data alone.

Thanks, too, for the info about DivX
 

Does that mean that we are going to be forced to pay for many,
many hours of unwanted rubbish stuck on the end every time we buy
a film, just to make them bigger than the new standard?  It
doesn't bear thinking about.  It's bad enough now, only being
able to buy some films in the 'special' editions, with heaven
knows what stuck on the end - which I've never watched.
 

LOL... It's not like you are being "forced" to buy this extras
shit, but more like they add it for the sole-purpose of filling the
DVD beyond the 4.x limit of blank DVD's. 
   

It seems that increasingly the big box office hits are being released 
only in 2-disk sets, with the second one being full of the extras.  
Even when that isn't so, a film with 'extras' is often higher priced 
than the majority of films, so I think I *am* being forced to buy 
them if I want the film.

 

I have had discussions
about this too with many people. Some say that's bullshit, and that
those extras are to make it more interesting for the viewer,
however I strongly dissagree. How many videos did you ever watch
with al those extras? 
   

Not one.

That was my thought. If such code theft goes on, there must be somebody
who would eventually leak it. 

Of course, that person would face the certainty of M$ going after _them_

Go into MS explorer on XP and find your Linux box. Then go to the
printer and double click on it, this will ask for drivers which you need
to install and it will then appear in your printers. Not sure about 98
as never done it but could be the same.

Hey Rich. I've got an Epson C62 here and it works great. I've never used it 
under Windows but its never had the problem you describe above under Mandrake 
here...

Only problem I've ever had with it was when I used one of those cheap, generic 
"Amazon" refill cartridges. It growled, clacked, and carried on something 
awful. (wouldn't work either!). 

I called Epson and they said put a "true" Epson replacement cartridge back in 
it and watch it take off. They were right. They also filled me in on 
something that I did not know - if you use a non-Epson cartridge, it voids 
the warranty. (that sounds like BS, but thats what they said).

Anyways, I'm running mine via USB, never tried the printer port. Which way are 
you running it and can you switch just to see if it makes a diff?
