R: R: [newbie-it] CONTROLLER RAID E MANDRAKE !
Grazie Tom, purtroppo dopo aver fatto un giro nei siti che mi avevi suggerito scopro con mio dispiacere che Mandrake non riconosce i controller RAID/IDE così com'è quello che si trova incluso nella mia scheda madre! Questo significa che non potrò installare Linux ;-(( Forse una soluzione ci sarebbe, ed è nel sito seguente: http://www.nettika.net/tmb/9.1/ , Scusa Tom! Il sito corretto è: http://www.netikka.net/tmb/9.1/ Ti rinnovo i saluti. Rocco

Re: [newbie-it] W2KP e Mandrake... piccolo problema con gli HD
Scusa ma perch#232; hai fatta tutta questa operazione? Sono poco esperto! :-) Potevi, molto pi#249; semplicemente, installare entrambi i s.o. senza staccare i dischi. L'unica cosa che sarebbe stata toccata nel primo disco riguardava l'installazione del boot loader che funziona correttamente facendo partire sia win2000 che linux. Se non hai lavorato con la mdk (cio#232; non hai dati importanti salvati) ti conviene attaccare i due dischi e reinstallare. mdk conviene sul disco master o slave? Se non ti parte nemmeno win2000, puoi recuperare l'installazione con il cd di win2000 (esiste una procedura apposita). Quando metto il suo disco come primario e quello di mandrake come secondario parte. Grazie e ciao! Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...

Però, si tratta sempre di un codice alpha che ha ancora bisogno di crecere molto. Altra strada è quella di installare programmi tipo vmware o win4lin che, in modo leggermente diverso tra loro, emulano un secondo Pc su cui far girare un altro sistema operativo (es. win).

[newbie] Still need Xwindow help.
First. Thanks to all that responded. First I Maked a copy of the log file and cp to floppy. (thanks DFOX). Then I Ran XFdrake (Thanks Stephen Kuhn). Unfortunately this did not help. Below is my original post . The log file is quite long and I don't know if I should paste it and send it to the group or send it as an attachment. Which should I do. I go to regular command line after boot. After stopping X I tried to restart. I get an nVidia error message. I am A total Newbie and don't know were to get message to print let alone send a copy to list. :~(. My video card is an Elsa Gladiac MX nVidia GeForce 2 MX Rev A. I went to Elsa's Webpage and linux info is in GERMAN. Natually they have M$ info in english. Had Mandrake 7.2 Power pack running on the same machine fine until HD Meltdown. I need step by step help. At a total loss. Internet no help. Neither KDE or Gnome will come up at boot. Always command line. Where do I get a driver? How do I get it? Can I use my M$ machine to get it? How do I install it at command line? Totally fustrated. Please Help!! Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Ok if you were to get ADSL ou wouldn't get a modem each. You would get one modem (for as little as £30) for the computer that is most likely to be on for most of the time You buy 1 network card for each computer (as cheep as £10 each) making sure it works in Linux first And a cheap hub. Use the internet conection sharing wizard to tel linux yiu want to share the conection Then everyone in your house can share the ADSL conection. You can get ADSL for less than £20 per month. This is the setup I'm using here I got a Network Startup Kit for £30 which was a hub and 2 network cards.

I get this stuff just about every day - just goes to show y'all how much Microsoft TRULY and REALLY cares for their PURCHASING PUBLIC. Wazzat Billy Gates? You want to make safe software for the public? -Forwarded Message- Subject: Virus Alerts [Prevention: the best weapon against the Blaster wor m - 08/13/03] Date: 13 Aug 2003 15:02:25 +0200 - Prevention: the best weapon against the Blaster worm - Virus Alerts, by Panda Software (http://www.pandasoftware.com) Madrid, August 13, 2003 - The Blaster worm continues to wreak havoc in users PCs, as borne out by the number of incidents recorded by Panda Software's international tech support network, and it is still the virus most frequently detected by Panda ActiveScan, the free online scanner. However, the epidemic currently being caused by Blaster could easily have been avoided. The vulnerability exploited was reported by Microsoft almost a month and half ago and was widely reported by the international media. The same advise was repeated time and again: to avoid problems, simply apply the Microsoft patch. Seemingly this advise fell on deaf ears, judging by the number of computers affected by Blaster. The situation also highlights the general lack of security awareness among home users, who have been affected more than any other user group Users with personal firewalls installed have escaped the effects of the worm, as port 135, used by Blaster to enter computers, is protected by these kinds of programs. Likewise, the high number of incidents still being caused by Blaster is also largely a result of the failure by users to keep the antivirus software in their PCs completely up-to-date. Similarly, the RPC DCOM vulnerability continues to cause problems, as Panda Software's Virus Laboratory has detected the appearance of a new worm/Trojan called W32/RPCSdbot which exploits the Windows vulnerability to take control of the infected computer and spread via e-mail. However, protecting against Blaster, W32/RPCSdbot and other viruses that could emerge in the near future can be simple, provided users take a few basic precautions: - Find out about and apply patches to correct vulnerabilities detected in the software installed on your PC. Vendors websites will normally have this sort of information and the downloads. Similarly, e-bulletin services, such as Panda Software's Oxygen3 24h-365d free newsletter, provide the latest information on these security issues. - Keep your antivirus updated. The simplest way is to install solutions that update automatically when users connect to the Internet such as Panda Antivirus Titanium or Platinum 7.0. - Install a personal firewall in your computer, with both broadband and modem connections, as just a few seconds is all it takes for a malicious code like Blaster to infect your PC. Solutions like Panda Antivirus Platinum 7.0 actually include a personal firewall. Finally, Panda Software advises all users who haven't done so already to update their antivirus solution. The company has already released the updates to detect Blaster and W32/RPCSDbot, so if your software is not configured to do so automatically, you can update your antivirus from http://www.pandasoftware.com Panda Software has also released the PQREMOVE application designed specifically to clean and repair systems affected by Blaster. This utility can be downloaded from http://www.pandasoftware.com/downloads/utililities/ For further information about Blaster, W32/RPCSdbot and other viruses, visit Panda Software's Virus Encyclopedia at: http://www.pandasoftware.com/virus_info/encyclopedia/ -- Thu Aug 14 12:35:00 EST 2003 12:35:00 up 10 days, 16:23, 1 user, load average: 2.74, 2.61, 2.50 - |____ |kuhn media australia| | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | || | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn| | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | - linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1+ RH 9 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 - * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * Politics and the fate of mankind are formed by men without ideals and without greatness.

Now, I could change my default group to www, but what if I'm a member of several different development groups? I don't want to have different log-ins for each group, and have to log out and log back in as a different user when I want to work on a different project. However, unless there's a way to execute newgrp and have it affect the parent process, I don't see a way around this. Am I missing something fundamental in my understanding of groups and permissions?

We also put the disclaimer at the end of the email. This poses a problem for somebody who receives it by mistake. They have read the email before they read the disclaimer. While we don't send out much information which could harm us in anyway we could be placing ourselves in a tricky position.

MODEM is an acronym for MODulate-DEModulate which translates teh signal into what is necessary for the devices to communicate. In the case of DSL, it's the DSL modem talking to the DSLAM (DSL Access Multiplexer) over your phone line using frequencies over 8khz (reserved for voice). If you've configured your PPPoE connection in mandrake Network Setup, then you'll need to make sure that the authentication is taking place. Hope this helps. (Erro: message previously sent to Ben only, copy on the newsgroup) Hello I have a modem (I don't thonk it is a router) which must be plugged to the ethernet network card of my computer. Il I try to make a connection using PPPoE, nothing happens. But I noticed that if I choose ppptd instead of PPPoE, the activity led of the modem blinks (but no connections occurs). The network card where my modem is plugged was previously used for my LAN connection. So, maybe I have to change some informations. I tried tu put eth0 in static or dhcp mode, up or down, start at boot or not. But I still cannot connect to internet: the activity led is off. I don't know what to do do make my connection working. I also wonder how the connection manager can understand the provider address: sbcglobal.net. Does it need to be translated into an IP address? THanks julien

My plan is to connect server pc to the Internet and to set geteway for client machines How can configure server to recieve e-mail from the net and to send and recieve mail from client machines? One sol'n is to have the server collect the mail with fetchmail (config info provided with manpage, ie. man fetchmail), then have the client machines pop the server for their mail, again using fetchmail. All you need to do is to install the imap package on the server so that it will act as a POP server (like the one your ISP has). You can do this through the MCC software manager. I've done this myself, it's as easy as pie. For sending mail, the server should already have postfix running by default, so you just configure the mail clients to point to your server by its IP. It will then act just like your ISP's smtp server. Just make sure you configure postfix on the server to *use* your ISP's smtp as a relay, so that you don't end up having your mail server end up on an RBL, or open-relay blacklist.

[newbie] popfile with sylpheed rocks!
This is great. People have promoted this before, but i'll give my own quick review: Popfile is super easy to set up, even for diff users (now that Miark filled me in on seperating the port #'s). Since it's written in perl, its cross platform. I imagine you could use the same popfile directory to boot into either OS, though i haven't tried that. You can set sylpheed to show any header you want, and i set popfile to add the message link to the headers, so i see this in the preview pane: X-POPFile-Link: http://127.0.0.1:8080/jump_to_message?view=popfile35=1.msg X-Text-Classification: ham Which means if it does misclassify a mail, i can click on the link and reclassify it. Also, so far, Dillo has done fine with the popfile browser interface, making the entire thing super speedy. You can also use it as more than a spam filter (though i am not at the moment): You can train it to seperate any email out: work, personal, spam, good pr0n, bad pr0n, etc... It does have some sort of white-list ability, but i haven't experimented with that yet. eric Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Once you've got it sorted out in runlevel 3, you can change the inittab to runlevel 5 and then go back to doing your pr0n surfing. No go.

Re: [newbie] OT--General Linux Questions
1. After reading this article ... http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2001436280_linuxgroup08.html Please put that back. :) I couldn't access it. :) I am left wondering; where does Intel stand in the debate? Are they officially on the M$ side of things are are they attempting to play Even if that's relevant, AMD makes better processors. See tom's hardware. AMD (ca 2001 when I put this box together, at that time the Pentium 4 had just surfaced) is better and faster at the same clock speed than P4. There are still serious issues like cache and pipeline stalls in the P4, unless Intel fixed that since. If Intel is more MS-friendly than they should be, I don't know. I'll stick with AMD. I, for one, don't want a computer that keeps track of my existence and reports to MS - I know I exist, and don't need any help in that area. Of course, I'm referring to the increasing possibility of DMCA-aware computing, with processors that detect or refuse to run stuff.) I can sum up the SCO effort in 2 words: unjust enrichment. I read another article which made the point that at one time SCO (they acquired Caldera, right?) was actively trying to market a commercial Linux distro. I never opted for Caldera, but I read the reviews and such. Now, they did much of that through GPL, no? Did SCO commit any *non GPL* changes to the Linux kernel? No - they would have been rejected by Linus. (Anyone got his input?) AIX is a totally different animal than Linux. The kernels are different. How dare SCO tell IBM that every customer is now using an illegal product. (we use AIX + Pick at work). But isn't that SCO's argument? That Linux got polluted by source from AIX? Redhat, Mandrake, debian, etc. have not signed contracts with SCO to my knowledge. I know I didn't. I can't be in violation of a non-existant license. SCO will never see any money from me. Might as well tell them that if Linux did not exist, millions of people probably would be pirating SCO, or perhaps Windows. neutral in all of this. I have never used an AMD processor and I wasn't AMD is superior. license for software they shipped me under the pretense that it was 'free'? Was it shrinkwrapped? Did it have a non-GPL type license to it? There have been precedences in the user community reactions over the years - involving en masse switching to the competition. For instance, rememmber SEA versus Phil Katz? The result of that was thousands of BBSes switching to ZIP, almost overnight. GIF licensing threats from Unisys engendered a similar reaction, more recently. So if SCO wins, I'll switch to FreeBSD :). I'd rather not, though. FreeBSD is fine, but I think it would require a lot more post-install setup than Linux distros do ATM. I could be wrong on that - I haven't tried it in a very long time. -=Thinker David E.

[newbie] Port scanning
Hello, (I'll resend this message, cause I think it have notbeen sent b4) I'm trying to use some services that i'm setting up at my computer at home, but the firewall here, where i work, blocks almost all the outgoing ports, so, i cant connect to my home computer. So, despite the network administer dont want to tell me which outgoing ports are unblocked, i want to discover it, by scan, or by any other way. But the scan services we find on the internet always scan incoming ports. Can anyone give me a light on how use that? BTW, anyone know how where to find a step-by-step guide on configuring ssh? I'm a newbie, so, i didnt figure out how to configure it. thanx all!!!

RE: [newbie] ARTICLE: Study: Linux nears Windows XP usability
So can I.. but does that mean you should??? Sure sounds good in theory.. but if you forked say 200 bucks extra to get a faster P4 CPU for example, and then bought a winmodem, you will lose most of the difference that faster CPU would have gotten you as its wasting cycles doing stuff the modem itself should be. The funny thing is, that its so hard to find internal modems that are not winmodems.. cos comparing an external serial with a winmodem is not a fair comparision. The cost of the external has to not only cover the hardware that the winmodem should have it also has to cover the modem case, the power supply for it ect. An internal hardware modem would be very close to the same price as a winmodem.. There are a couple out there, their names just escape me at present.

I know this is a little off topic, but I was hoping to hear as many opinions on these questions as possible. 1. After reading this article ... http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2001436280_linuxgroup08.html I am left wondering; where does Intel stand in the debate? Are they officially on the M$ side of things are are they attempting to play neutral in all of this. I have never used an AMD processor and I wasn't really planning on it, but if Intel is out to hurt Open Source, I will have to change my stance. 2. After reading this article ... http://www.vnunet.com/News/1142837 I am wondering, what about UnitedLinux? Isn't SCO part of an ongoing pro Linux project with SuSE and others? Does SCO expect me to pay $699 for a license for software they shipped me under the pretense that it was 'free'? Honestly, I went to United Linux about 2 months ago and signed up for the shipment of the free software discs. If I install them, and then pay the $699 can I not sue them for fraud?

But it might be OK. Since you've worked with a number of drives then I guess it is all right. I went ahead and put it on /dev/hdb and it's a little bit faster: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]# hdparm -Tt /dev/hdb /dev/hdb: Timing buffer-cache reads: 232 MB in 2.00 seconds = 116.00 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 72 MB in 3.06 seconds = 23.53 MB/sec But of course, I'm downloading, transcoding a dvd with dvd:rip, and doing other stuff too. So it's bound to be a little bit low. I'd expect excess of 35-40 on IDE with bus speed 66. Is that not unreasonable? David E.

Since it's on YOUR computer, it's bad. but is that bad, like really good, like that sure is a bad hot rod, or bad like nasty, as in when you are good you are good, but when you are bad you are really good, or bad like foul, as in that Avocado has gone bad.
