La soluzione che ti ho dato se hai avuto il tempo di inserirla è proprio
molto grossolana, gli smileys vengono individuati anche fra le normali

Invece con questi altri settaggi inseriri sempre in .muttrc, si ottiene
un risultato eccezionale con gli smileys, provare per credere.

[newbie] Sound editing question
I have one slight questions about sound editors I have a general thing I need to do each week. Cut one 2 hour wav file into peaces. then convert into mp3 and make available in internet. I have tried to use Audacity. It is a nice tool, but have its problems. It likes to hang my system (x) sometimes very often, and it performing very slow on my 400 PII computer. Then I'v found a nice peace of soft named sweep It is working very fast and has a very nice UI (that I like). Sweep has another problem. It is able to work on smaller files and it refuses to open my 2 hour long files. the error sweep declares is GLib-ERROR **: could not allocate 1175879680 bytes aborting...

Re: [newbie] Apache 2, virtual hosts and SSL
It did not work for me, sorry. When I add a new host to the sss.default-vhost.conf file, it appears in WebMin as just another virtual host which manages the named virtual host. Actually, the only way in which i can use HTTPS with my Apache 2 system is by using https://localhost/; and this makes use of the default vhost present in the ssl.default-vhost.conf file. Clearly this prevents me from accessing my WebServer from another machine by using HTTPS. Also, one strange thing is that when in Webmin I try to use the SSL options associated to any virtual host, the SSLEngine on directive is properly written in the Vhost.conf file but apachectl is unable to restart, i.e. this directive makes httpd2 not able to start. Now, it seems to me that this should be something very basic... i.e. HOW COULD I USE HTTPS on a Virtual Host!

Although the passwords for windows login and Samba are the same, whenever I try to connect to the Linux host using Network Neighbourhood, I am informed that my password is incorrect. Don't know how many VMware users there are amongst you but if there are any that know how to deal with this problem, I'd appreciate some pointers. I've wasted a week's holiday trying to tweak this and R'ing all TFMs and I'm getting nowhere very slowly. If it matters, I'm using Mandrake 9.0 and VMware 3.2 with the built-in Samba running Windows 98 as guest. I've tried setting password level to 8, and using unencrypted passwords (although I might be doing that wrong). Please advise or point me at a useful source, life is passing me by while I'm bogged down in this.

Most Wino's reckon that you should compile your own rather than use the rpm that comes with your distro especially if you want printer support. Easier said than done in my experience. Wine is still in development and probably always will be. I've got freecell (big deal!), Winamp (briefly and eratically), and Internet Explorer to work with it but that's all. From what I read on Wine newsgroups and mailing lists, some people have had more success. There is a new .tar.gz build of Wine released every 10 minutes. 2. Crossover Office - supposed to run MS Office and some other stuff. I've never tried this because it's an offshoot of the Codeweavers Wine Project which has always given me grief and it's not free. Some people seem to like it though. 3. VMWare - by far the most effective that I've encountered - runs Windows inside Linux. There do seem to be issues however, it's picky about the Linux kernels it will work with and networking it to the Linux host is proving a real pig! (At least in my case.) VMWare is however *very* expensive. 4. Win4Lin - like VMware, it runs Windows within Linux. It's cheaper than VMware but I've heard it's not as good - some may think otherwise. I've never used it so I don't really know. Hope this helps. A google search will turn up loads of info on all these.

Re: [newbie] [hijacked] java plugin, was Mozilla and my bank
Here we go again. Never been able to get Java plugin installed. Tried again a few months ago, and again yesterday on the clock applet link. Although the blurb says downloading takes 19 minutes on a 56 kilobaud modem, in reality it takes well over an hour, $2 worth of connect time at best, $6 at worst. At the end of that hour it blithely informs me that download was unsuccessful - error 202. What the hell is error 202? And is there a chance that the file could be cached somewhere? Don't know about error 202. As for not getting it to work, did you read thru the deep and confusing notes about which plugin you need? It's all new stuff since just a month or so ago, so i haven not yet installed this stuff. (i am still at the jre 1.4.1 level). So now you are left with the 2 versions based on gcc#, which you can check by typing about:buildconfig into your mozilla. It looks as though they both get installed, and you just have to link to the proper one. There is an rpm for java's jre 1.4.2 http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html Here's a couple pages on the random walk you go thru to figure out what to install: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Javasays: NOTE: Mozilla 1.4RC2 and later are built with gcc 3.2.3. You will need to use the gcc3 build of the Java Plugin with Mozilla 1.4RC2 or later. http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/javalinux.html says: If you're not familiar with symbolic linking, permissions and all, there are 2 ways you can do this. * Log in as root, and use the following command at a console, replacing [Mozilla Installation Directory] with the appropriate value for your installation (eg. /usr/local/mozilla): ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so [Mozilla Installation Directory]/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so * Create ~/.mozilla/plugins if it doesn't exist. Then use the following command at a console: ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so NOTE: If you are using a gcc3 build of Mozilla (such as Mozilla 1.4 or Netscape 7.1), use the plugin in the ns610-gcc32 directory, not the ns610 directory. To check which compiler was used to build Mozilla, see about:buildconfig (Mozilla 1.4a or later). Not sure if this helps you or not, but at least now *I* know why mozilla-firebrd handles jave for me and mozilla doesn't ! eric Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Is it time to talk scanners again?
I do not think so, I think Anne Wilson has an epson 1260, it might be worth askking how she gets on, but I suspect it may be a driver selection and configuration problem to sort out. I presume in works in the sense of snanning a straight document to a .pnm or jpg file. If this is correct, then it's the photoscan side of the driver that needs waking up. Not sure how this is done, but here are a few places to look. /etc/sane.d/epson.conf is where the driver configurtation is stashed here is mine # epson.conf # # here are some examples for how to configure the EPSON backend # # SCSI scanner: scsi EPSON # # Parallel port scanner: #pio 0x278 #pio 0x378 #pio 0x3BC # # USB scanner: # # Auto-detection of models known to the epson backend usb # # Auto-detection of model specified by vendor/product (example is Epson # Perfection 2450, use lsusb or sane-find-scanner to get the IDs of # your scanner model) #usb 0x04b8 0x0112 # # Selection of scanner by device special file #only enable this if you have an EPSON scanner. It could # otherwise block your non-EPSON scanner from being # recognized. #Depending on your distribution, you may need either the #first or the second entry. #usb /dev/usbscanner0 usb /dev/usb/scanner0 I don't think this actually says much except that it is an epson scanner on usb port. My M91 installer got this wrong and gave it a parralel port , and I had to change it to usb /dev/usb/scanner0. It is the only thing I had to do to make my scanner work, but in M9.0 I didn't even have to do that. /etc/sane.d/dll.conf is where some parameters are set, here is mine # enable the next line if you want to allow access through the network: net abaton agfafocus apple avision artec artec_eplus48u as6e bh canon canon630u #canon_pp coolscan coolscan2 #dc25 #dc210 #dc240 dmc epson fujitsu gt68xx hp hp4200 hpsj5s leo matsushita microtek microtek2 mustek #mustek_pp mustek_usb nec pie pint plustek #pnm qcam ricoh s9036 sceptre sharp sm3600 snapscan sp15c #st400 tamarack teco1 teco2 teco3 #test umax #umax_pp umax1220u v4l viceo # # The following backends are not included in the sane-backends distribution # If you want to use them, download them from their webpages and read their # documentation # # HP OfficeJet backend homepage: http://hpoj.sf.net/ # Uncomment the following line if hpoj is installed: #hpoj niash I think you are supposed to # out everything not applicable, so if for instance you want to be able to connect to the net from sane make sure than net is unhashed /etc/sane.d/qcam # # In order to use the qcam backend, you'll need to enable to line with # the port address for your scanner.

Create a textfile with the commands you want to run, save it to disk, run the command chmod +x filename on it, and you have a runnable script. In order to be correct, you should start the script with #!/bin/sh That way the system knows where to look for the shell that the script has to use. E.g.: #!/bin/sh cd /home/mydir ls -l There are many editors to create a scriptfile, like vi, emacs (both text oriented) and also gedit, kedit (graphical). Use what you think is easiest for you.

There are ways: 1.Wine - you need a hacker's mentality for this one. Most Wino's reckon that you should compile your own rather than use the rpm that comes with your distro especially if you want printer support. Easier said than done in my experience. Wine is still in development and probably always will be. I've got freecell (big deal!), Winamp (briefly and eratically), and Internet Explorer to work with it but that's all. From what I read on Wine newsgroups and mailing lists, some people have had more success. There is a new .tar.gz build of Wine released every 10 minutes. This is not true when you are talking about Transgaming WineX. This is a special development branch of Wine that is being commercially developed for gamers. This program has made alot of progress and has been immensely successful in running such huge massive games as Morrowind, Battlefield 1942, Diablo 2, Max Payne, and many more others too numerous to mention here. With that success they have also started running applications. One example is Total Commander, which is an excellent plugin based file handling interface which I needed for some exotic file handling work. WineX allowed me to do that without resorting to use of a dual boot machine. WineX is making strides because they are gathering in revenue from their product which allows them to pay their programmers, and in so doing drive the development forward. In many ways, it has contributed to the stabilization of the Wine project. I strongly suggest you take a look at www.transgaming.com if you are interested in running windows games or applications. It's well worth the effort. Using WineX I've eliminated all my dual boot machines here except for one.

Re: [newbie] Mozilla and my bank
On Wednesday 30 July 2003 12:11 pm, David graced me with: I use Mozilla for my personal accounts with one bank. I have recently started a business account with another bank. When I enter the account number and password with the new bank and press go, nothing happens (using Mozilla). I can use my wife's (retch) Win98 and Explorer and it works fine. I thought it was the popups at first, I have had this issue before then I thought it was in how Mozilla identified itself. I have heard that some banks were going to an Explorer only interface. I can't seem to find in Mozilla 1.4 any way to have it announce its anything other than Mozilla. Any ideas to shed some light on this? I see a lot of really helpful advice thrown here. So, for what it's worth, I'll give you what's happened to me Long story short: I purchased what appeared to be a really outstanding LPI backed course to prepare for my Linux LPI Certification exam (101 102). I asked a lot of questions of the rep that I spoke with at SmartCertify.com, then made the decision to purchase the course. The price was great and it had just been released by LPI, so I wasn't sure that I would get it anywhere else. Supposedly this was an exclusive arrangement between LPI and SmartCertify. Lo' and behold, I find upon getting into the course that they use a proprietary front end player called SmartForce to run the Graphical environment of the course that allows me to actually type and see Linux command line results in the course. A great idea, except ...the only Java client that will work with this course is ...ready for this? Yep! You guessed it! M$'s Java!! Sun's Java will NOT work with this Web-based course I purchased. What irony, I thought as I steamed. A Linux course that can only be run on a Windows PC. No, I was not laughing over the irony, and needless to say, I do not have good attitude toward this certification company or LPI for creating the course as it is. That's what hurts most: LPI designed this, not SmartCertify.com. Of course, SmartCertify states that they were so upset with LPI for not letting their people in on the design of the course, as supposedly they are with the other certification programs that they provide. To be fair to SmartCertify, they are one of the largest providers of training tools for computer certifications. Apparently...not so for LPI. OK, I enjoyed this chance to spill my guts about my debacle with SmartCertify and LPI. But, the story leads me to a possible explanation for your problem. It's possible that the banks programmers have used M$-specific Java coding and it won't work with anything but Windows and Internet Explorer. Period. Done deal. If you haven't already done so (and assuming that none of the suggestions made thus far worked for you), I would call the bank and see if they will let you talk with one of the programmers. Ask him/her if they used M$-specific Java coding for the site. Ask them if it has been tested to work with Sun's Java Runtime. I have learned, very expensively, that not all Java is alike.

Please advise or point me at a useful source, life is passing me by while I'm bogged down in this. Cheers I prefer to NOT use the VMWare Samba - so that the guest is actually part of the real network. Making sure that Samba is setup correctly is another issue; the settings in Samba can be very cryptic, so the actual share you want to access has to be setup properly in order to have workgroup access.

My question is this: what command do I use to bring up the GUI? startx If you'd like a easy choice of GUI from the command line without using a graphical display manager you might want to use Xtart. I don't remember if it installs by default (I _THINK_ it does). If it's not then log in as root and urpmi Xtart Personally, I don't use kdm, mdkdm, gdm, xdm etc... It just seems to add an extra step that takes more time IMHO. The last time I used one I would login from the command line, startx, then log in again on the display manager, choose a GUI and hit ok. Maybe it's not like that anymore? I know if i do startx now it just goes straight to KDE but I figure that's because I don't use a graphical display manager. But... (and it's getting quite cliche to say this...) that's the great thing about GNU/Linux... choice. :-) HTH Jerry -- _||_ Registered linux user #300600 (o_ Registered linux machine # 185855 //\at V_/_ http://counter.li.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie]Konqueror Crashes on changing Viewing Mode

After about 2 hours (sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less) it locks up the entire machine. The screen goes black, the mouse (optical) goes dead and the keyboard won't respond. I don't use KDE often (I prefer IceWM) but sometimes I'm in the mood for a full featured desktop. Not sure what's causing the problem... KDE has never given me fits in the past. My first thought was hardware so I tried out a different video card, switched out RAM, stuff like that. Still have the problem but I figure I'll be doing a fresh install when 9.2 comes out so I think I can survive for a month or 2. I figure it's just a software problem... perhaps a conflict somewhere? Who knows. However, when 9.2 comes out, I'll sure give it another shot. Jerry. That sucks. That sounds like it *could*, or not, be more than a KDE problem. Did you upgrade anything else? Oh... I'm not too worried about it really LOL. A month or two isn't too long for me to wait to use KDE which I don't use often anyway. I haven't done anything major... Really the only other things I've upgraded have been mozilla (just did urpme mozilla and used mozilla's installer to put it in usr/local/) gaim (I always build gaim from source... also in /usr/local) sun java, xchat (from source), and whatever MandrakeUpdate's thrown at me. I still haven't quite gotten around to the latest kernel (since last time I checked Win4Lin didn't have a matching kernel yet) or anything major like gcc. Could it possibly be that I used the textar rpms with rpmdrake instead of d/l-ing them all in a dir and doing rpm -Uvh *? That's been how I've upgraded KDE in the past. Just seems to me like rpmdrake would do the same thing. I didn't have any failed packages and I cross referenced to make sure that any old packages I had on there were matched with upgrade packages and selected in rpmdrake. On a side note, all of the KDE apps seem to run just fine under IceWM (albeit with a much slower startup) or at least the same as they would behave under KDE (the occasional konqueror crash, etc...).
