Re: [newbie-it] Compilazione del kernel
Alle 15:08, lunedì 25 agosto 2003, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ha scritto: Scusate il disturbo, E' la prima vola che mi trovo a dover compilare un kernel, ho letto da qualche parte che per compilare i kernel 2.4.xx si deve intervenire su alcuni pacchetti chiave quali gcc, libc s SysVInit e modificare alcuni file di sistema. E' vero? e se si quali modifiche devo apportare e su quali file? Domanda numero due: ho un portatile su cui ho installato linux, non mi riconosce la pcmcia e va in kernel panic all avvio, quali moduli del kernel devo configurare? Il pc è un compaq presario 907ea, il kernel che ho scaricato è il 2.4.21 può andare bene? Certamente non devi intervenire sui compilatori o altro: la configurazione del kernel avviene tramite l'apposito front end che trovi in tre versioni. Un articolo base che ti spiga come configurare il kernel la trovi sul sito www.pcimprover.it , nella sezione Linux. bye.

[newbie-it] Problemi con eroaster
Salve a tutti, ho dei seri problemi con eroaster. Se lo lancio da root ricevo soltanto qualche warning di programmi non trovati ma eroaster parte e masterizza in modo adeguato. Se provo a farlo partire come utente ricevo un avviso che non possibile trovare il modulo gtk. Ho anche associato la cartella /usr/lib/eroaster ad un gruppo per masterizzare al quale appartiene anche l'utente in questione, ma nessun risultato. Sapete come aiutarmi? Tommaso

[newbie-it] configurazione xserver
ciao a tutti!! è da giorni che provo ad installare una mdk 9.1, ma il risultato non cambia. arrivo al test della cnfigurazione dell'interfaccia grafica, e dopo aver risposto positivamente nel box lo schermo si tinge di una splendida livrea rosa e si pianta tutto. fino a quel punto l'installazione procede senza problemi. la sk video è una ASUS AGP V300C 16Mb chipset SIS305, mdk la riconosce come SIS300 quindi credo che non sia il problema, il fenicotter . ehm . il monitor è un LG SW 700s (1280x768 60Hz), che non trovo in elenco, ho provato a inserire i dati manualmente con l'opzione 'personalizzato' in elenco, ho provato a scieglierne uno tra quelli generici ma niente. ho saltato il test e l'installazione è finita regolarmente, al primo boot parte anche il wizard di conf. ma finisce sempre alla stesso modo, mi carica solo lo sfondo di KDE e poi mi rimane in clessidra tentando di caricare il resto (la barra appare e scompare un paio di volte). stessa fine hanno fatto mdk9.0, mdk 8.2, mdk8.0 e RH 7.2, poi sempre con la 9.1, ho provato con ad usare xf86config ma mi da sempre errore. grazie ust ps: considerate che ne capisco veramente poco!

[newbie-it] script per shell problematico
Ciao a tutti, ho un problema un po' complicato: devo preparare numerose pagine web e, poiché sono simili tra loro, ho deciso di usare il php in modo da ottenere bell'e pronto il codice html, al variare di un paio di parametri. Però ho pensato che grazie a linux il lavoro può essere ulteriormente automatizzato ed ho cercato di scrivere uno script di shell che faccia variare i due parametri, richieda la pagina html e ne salvi il codice in un opportuno file in un'opportuna cartella. In pratica si tratta di una cosa di questo genere: dato il codice php, mi connetto al mio server apache attraverso un programma come konqueror con: http://localhost/pagina.php?parametro1=xparametro2=y Allora lo script dovrebbe contenere due cicli uno dentro l'altro per far variare i due parametri; il problema è cosa mettere dentro i cicli. Se scrivo questo: testo=http://localhost/pagina.php?parametro1=xparametro2=y; vi $testo viene visualizzato correttamente l'html che mi serve; ma se aggiungo una redirezione per salvarlo in un file vi $testo file.htm quest'ultimo è pieno di caratteri strani da eliminare, e inoltre l'esecuzione si ferma e devo chiudere a mano il vi. Con altri programmi ho ottenuto risultati anche peggiori: kwrite ad esempio si apre correttamente ma non viene salvato niente nel file.htm. Speravo anche in lynx ma non sono riuscito a fargli sputar fuori l'html al posto della pagina. Qualcuno sa darmi un suggerimento a questo proposito?

Re: [newbie] wishing for mandrake 2.6 test3 kernel
If you were wanting to play arround with kernels try the tmb ones Just update your kernel-utils and possibelyou init scrips from the cooker rpms (from memory that is - on my win doze box atm) Then get the latest tmb kernel from http://www.netikka.net/tmb/Cooker/ or it may even be on the contribs part of cooker under a slightly different name. Type in lilo (as root) so it updates your lilo stuff so at boot up you can select you new kernel. I've tried both the 2.6 kernel and the tmb kernel. The 2.6 one hardly works with any hardware atm as none of the modules are there yet. The tmb kernel rocks though. It has DVB support, bluetooth support, decent supermount support and lots more. I like this kernel Mike ;-) Anarky wrote: Charles A Edwards wrote: You have added a 'cooker' source but are not running cooker. what is a 'cooker'? I don't really understand the system.

Besides .. the reason that pushed me was that I heard that if installing via this rpm I would just get a safe new lilo option and could choose from there ... and thus I would be able to test what I heard, that these new kernels are supposed to give more priority to certain processes and thus make my linux appear to be running smoother. If you are determined to try it I would strongly suggest you install either the 9.2 beta2, or the RC1, what does RC1 mean? Where can I get these? I've looked on the web .. I found aproximative figures .. do you by any chance know an exact date when the final 9.2 will come out? which should be out today and then use urpmi to install the test kernel or dl the kernel.src.rpm and rebuild it for your current system.

You need to concatenate text exported from fortune into a static text file to be used by your mailer agent. HUH??? Grasshopper: $ export foo=$fortune} # puts a 'fortune' into a variable foo. in case we want it later echo $foo fortune_file What he meant is that you should take output of 'fortune' and paste it info a file whose name doesn't change (a static text file). Each time you send a mail, the agent will refer to this file, and every time you run the script, you replace the old contents of this fortune file with a new fortune. You probably don't need to actually use a shell variable -- that was only an illustrative point wherein it is shown that it's *possible* to store the output of a program into a variable.

RE: [newbie] Dell TFT 17Flat Screen
John, I am sure Dell sell rebranded monitors anyway (correct me if I am wrong). So you need to try and find out who the original manufacturer is. I've got a Hitachi 17 1280x1024 with a 16ms refresh rate. It is a lot sharper than crt's. Mine cost a little more about £400 but it was the top of the range in the 16ms bracket (6 months ago). You only need that fast a response if your gaming (and I do). The faster the response the less ghosting you get (response is the time it takes for the pixel to turn off and back on again, the system does not refresh in the same sense as a crt). There is no flicker on tft's like crt's so don't worry about that. I think they are a lot better (less power hungry too). Thanks, Tony. -Original Message- From: John Richard Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 22, 2003 5:11 PM To: NEWBIE 1 Subject: [newbie] Dell TFT 17Flat Screen OK, so this is an offer from a UK supplier and I asked them what resolution is it capable of. They replied, Its native resolution is 1280 x 1024. It'll go higher with interpolation but the image quality suffers. TFTs aren't like CRTs in that respect because the screen is constructed from a grid of pixels of dimensions 1280 x 1024. So this means in effect the best resolution is 1280 x 1024, right ? Well that is what I'm used to, and the price is right, though I would dearly of liked a 19 for the same money.

Re: [newbie] Transferring songs from cassette
08/26/03 Ronald, See if you can find a cassette boom box or other cassette player that has left and right PHONO or RCA outputs. Then buy the appropriate cable to connect the cassette player to the Line In of your sound card. That cable might be a Left and Right RCA (or PHONO) to 1/8 mini Stereo, since most computer sound cards like to use 1/8 mini Stereo for inputs and outputs. Work with your software mixer settings to get the signal strength where you like it without getting distortion (too hot of a signal).

After monkeying with the drivers over a two week period, I finally relented and hooked it up to a different box altogether to try it out. It worked like a champ straight out of the gate. The only think that I could figure was some sort of incompatibility or issue with the USB ports or channel. At any rate, I had spent so much time on it that it just wasn't worth it to keep hacking so I left it on the system that it was working on and set it up as a network printer for the rest of the boxes. If you have another machine, you might try moving it over to there. Also, one more hint, USB printers will not print unless they are on and active when the machine is turned on. If you printer was off when you booted the machine up and then you turned it on, it will simply bit bucket all jobs that are sent to it.

Re: [newbie] Dell TFT 17Flat Screen
I see, so in regards to TFT's it's not a case then of a beam of electrons scanning the screen top left to botton right so many times a second ( CRT of 85Mhz = 85 refershed scans per second) but a question of how many times a pixel is electronically swithced on and off electronically, that is by a circuit behind that pixel ? So a TFT with a refresh rate of 16ms is being switched on and off, 16/1000of a second each time. I guess as time goes on that time will decrease some as technology improves. Yes, I think Dell merely badge someone elses make don't they, they buy in large orders at a time at best prices and badge them, and sometimes they get a bad deal, and sell the shipment off quickly to a retailer for a knockdown price. That is why I was suspicious in the first place, and came to the list, because I have extremely limited experience with these devices. Seems like I will have to keep my old CRT's a while longer yet.

(printer was replaced usb cable was replaced printer will copy and scan using ximage. Any thoughts? For the record, I have a HP PSC 950 multifunction and on one of the boxes that I had it hooked up to, I was having problems as well. Not unable to print at all but it was spewing out garbage every time I tried to send a job to it. After monkeying with the drivers over a two week period, I finally relented and hooked it up to a different box altogether to try it out. It worked like a champ straight out of the gate. The only think that I could figure was some sort of incompatibility or issue with the USB ports or channel. At any rate, I had spent so much time on it that it just wasn't worth it to keep hacking so I left it on the system that it was working on and set it up as a network printer for the rest of the boxes. If you have another machine, you might try moving it over to there. Also, one more hint, USB printers will not print unless they are on and active when the machine is turned on. If you printer was off when you booted the machine up and then you turned it on, it will simply bit bucket all jobs that are sent to it. Make sure to turn the printer on first and then boot the machine up. At least, that is what I have to do with my USB printer. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer well I might just have me a $99.00 copier (which ain't all bad) :-) -- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Like you said, I would consider it a defeat to use Windows. I only hope you'll enjoy the research. I too tried to read the man pages for wine, but it's way over my head. Win4Lin may be an option, but it requires me to have a Windows CD and change my kernel, which I don't like. Please don't waste a lot of time on this, Joe. After all it isn't the end of the world. Okay, just in case you have not gone the Windows install route, I found something that has a chance of solving your dillemma (sp?). I snagged a copy of Crossover. So far it runs Office and Photoshop, should I test Derive, or is it too late? Thank you very much, Joe. But I gave up after my daughter told me that in order to use her college's web-based filesharing system she needed yet another set of windoze apps. So I purchased a new HP with Winsux XP on it. Gosh, what a POS ! . She is root all the time, need to update Winsucks every day as well as something called Norton Firewall. But no chance of seeing what's going on underneath the hood. I tried to configure it to her liking, making it look familiar to her linux, installed Open Office, Mozilla, created 5 backups of the system on CD, defragged the whole caboodle twice. Tried to uninstall MS Internet Exploder and Outfool Excrete, which I couldn't. The damned thing crashed three times during the session. Now it works - to a certain extent - but she claims that she feels like a baby, confronted with this amateurish OS. She want me to install Linux alongside this crap as a dual boot system, but I'm afraid it won't survive repartitioning etc And I don't want to spend more dough on the box like buying Partition Magic and whatnot to make it look like a real PC.
