Re: [newbie-it] Webcam
Funziona! Avevo già fatto così anche io . Se ti dico perchè non andava ti metti a ridere: non avevo collegato il cavetto della webcam alla porta ps/2. Ho solo un problema ora: non riesco a catturare i filmari in avi. Ho provato usando xawtv ma non riesco. Tu sei riuscito in qualche modo? Ciao, grazie. Eccolo li!! Quello si è un problema!! Non capisco perchè dopo aver fatto partire la registrazione mi crea il mio bel file .avi ma poi non riesco ad aprirlo con nessun programma! Mi dice che il formato non è supportato! Come se non fosse un avi!! Ma non mi sono mai interessato più di tanto perchè la Web l'ho usata giusto un pò di volte ma solo per fare foto. Fammi sapere se ci riesci.. Mi spiace di non esserti stato di grande aiuto... Ciao ciao Davide
[newbie-it] Re: Sendmail +kmail
Ciao scusa se ti scrivo solo ora, ma fino a ieri ero in vacanza... No, non ci son riuscito ancora. La mia idea sarebbe quella di far andare le mail processate dalle varie regole di procmail in una cartella che potrei chiamare temp-mail. Da li` dire a kmail che quello e` un account locale e fargli scaricare nelle sue cartelle corrette. Questo permetterebbe di emulare il download dal pop per kmail (con annessi e connessi tipo sapere quante mail sta scaricando e processarle con le regole di kmail). Per ora non ci ho provato dato che non ne ho avuto il tempo. Ti faro` sapere! Ciao! Luigi Ciao Luigi, io ci sono riuscito ma non con kmail ma con Balsa! Perchè kmail crea delle cartelle con mozilla mail mentre con balsa la cosa risulta molto ma molto più semplice! Basta che le mail le scarichi in un file e successivamente dici a balsa che quel file è la posta in ingres oppure il cestino, o ancora la posta in ingres dell'account2. Insomma scarico con fetchmail, smisto e filtro con procmail e spedisco con il solito server in remoto. Nel mio caso mail.inwind.it. Se ti interessa ti posso dare info + dettagliate. Ciao ciao Ps: Dimenticavo Balsa non supporta ancora il criptaggio delle mail tramite pgp. Peccato! Ma penso che stanno lavorando per metterlo nelle prox versioni.

Re: [newbie] Anyone know of an icq type app taht is decent?
what would that have to do with anything? And how? Well the whole point of urpmi is it works out dependencies and goes and gets the needed rpm's and installs it all. Now if its scuttling off and getting the wrong rpm's, which in your case it is, then something is broken somewhere. This is just my simple logic and anyway it is a good idea to update regularly your urpmi anyway! I was able to urpmi kopete 7.1 (texstar version) or 6.2 last night and it installed fine. How: urpmi.update -a If that don't work mail me again (off list if you like) and I'll download the rpm's and send them to you. -- John Willby Registered Linux user number 321644 ICQ: 92791912 Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] YIM/AIM: vicarofwibley Linux is like a wigwam - No Gates, no Windows, Apache inside. 06:50:21 up 12:47, 2 users, load average: 0.88, 0.77, 0.74 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [newbie] Did I lose my NTFS partition?
Mathieu, First off is there any thing you need on the Windows partion?If there is try running Knoppix from CD-ROM,this will see all partion on your hard drive and let you copy the files to disc or to a FTP server for storage.Do the same for the stuff on Mandrake. Re-install XP,let sort out the complete Hard Drive and repair the MBR,so you just have XP running.Scandisk and Defrag a couple of times,to try and sort out the files,cause they will be in a complete mess.I think because you have a 30 Gig drive you may be able to change it to Fat 32 during the install,cause any thing over 32 Gig ,XP will turn into a NTFS drive. Grab a copy of Partion Magic 8,shrink the Windows partion down to the size you then need,do not use PM8 to help with the Linux install.This all done by PM8 and works very well(I have used it myself and done it this way). Boot from the Mandrake Install disc and install to free space, when prompted.LILO is installed by default,just save it to the MBR,all will work(maybe).

If the virus sets up a stack that is *completely* independent, could it use a different, spoofed IP address? Say, for example, one that was in the headers of the infected machine email files - real, verifiable, but not the address from which it was actually sent. [66.32.127.184] Again, coming in from an ISP, which most of us do, this is not a trivial feature. You need to use an IP that is accepted on the network and reverse DNS needs to support the what you use. So, the virus would need to know in advance, which IP's are accepted on the network, grab one of those that are accepted and trusted and also that is not already assigned to another machine, and then use that IP to mask the originating entry. If this was a person, I would say that it would be possible, although still very difficult. There is ultimately only one modem, only one hardware port for the traffic and two stack fighting over ownership. Ultimately we have to have two way traffic, so however we spoof, we still need to have packets routed back to us, so we can't totally fake the connection. For a virus, which by definition has to be fairly small and not intelligent, I would say not. Even then, while we may not know exactly which IP the traffic originated from, we would still definitely be able to narrow down to the IP range because networks will not, unless they are VERY misconfigured, accept traffic from just any source and even if they did, they have to be routable, reachable and dns recognized desitinations. If I spoof an IP address that is assigned to another range, the packets would be routed back to incorrect netspace when they returned and I would never receive a response. For instance, if I spoof 217.68.23.432 on a 67.0.0.1/24, the packets will go to the 217.68.23/? range rather than returning to my true address because DNS will route them to the wrong place. So I have to use an IP on the accepted range and I have to have DNS route the packets back to me. Now, if I can overwrite DNS and appropriate a range on the local servers, I can spoof much more easily but again, this is not a trivial task. We have to assume that the entire network was setup by complete incompetents for that to be possible. With most people using hardware devices by companies like Cisco, that is a fairly big assumption. If you have read Cuckoo's Egg, and other hacker accounts, you will remember that the way that most hacker's hide their real origination is by compromising multiple machines and then relaying through multiple machines across disparate regions, counting on the inability for any one person to be able to follow the entire chain and get everyone's cooperation to track the true originating source. Viruses simply are not that smart. BP I suppose it is possible that the SoBig.F virus was designed to BP seek out and relay through compromised or open proxies but if BP that is the case, it is the first that I have heard of it. I seem to recall that it did, but I have not paid that much attention to this virus. From what I have read, it does not. It does open a port that spammers can use to relay from, but it does not, in and of itself, relay or use proxies. Based on the reports here, I would say there appear to have been at least 3 compromised machines, one in adelphia netspace (I never saw that one), One from Pacbell DSL and one in Brazil (I did not see that one either but I deny all Brazil netspace by default so I wouldn't see that one unless it was mailed to the list itself, and then the virus filter probably caught it). I figure at least one or more of those were probably infected by the first message from the list. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] gnomecc display problem
Greetings, I have mostly been a KDE user since I began using Mdk (more than a year now I guess). I have tried other environments, notably Blackbox and Gnome. I am finding Gnome to be a bit of a challenge, especially in the configuration department. Seems like things are scattered about a lot more than in KDE. Maybe it's just me, being unfamiliar w/the way things are done in the Gnome world. I would like to ask about a problem that I have just encountered, and am at a loss to figure. In gnomecc, when I try to view certain options (like Advanced Advanced, or, Desktop Preferences), I get a warning dialog telling me; Nautilus has no installed viewer capable of displaying preferences:///Advanced/.directory. (or, preferences:///.directory, respectively). Nautilus seems perfectly capable of displaying other similar options in gnomecc for me, so why does it balk about these? I'm a newbie, but I feel extra newbie when in the Gnome world. I'm trying Gnome just to satisfy my curiosity. Blackbox is cool, but KDE rocks! Any feedback welcome. TIA.

Re: [newbie] Did I lose my NTFS partition?
Drew, First off is there any thing you need on the Windows partion? What is on it is very valuable, but more the environment as a whole than the individual files. Before installing Linux, I did backup all my data, project source code, emails, contacts, etc. So all this is in a safe place. However, what I would be badly missing is my whole development environment. It is rather complex and a real pain to setup. I evaluate that it would take about one week to be back up and running. So, put shortly, yes it is valuable, but it is not the end of it all. I'll do whatever I can to recover it, but in any case I will survive! ;) If there is try running Knoppix from CD-ROM,this will see all partion on your hard drive and let you copy the files to disc or to a FTP server for This Knoppix really seems intriguing... I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks, Mathieu. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

okay josenildo, if you don't have exif support in your camera then you might want to rename files based on their timestamp, i do this with my camera because it also creates avis and wavs, by renaming them before editing the 'modification' timestamp of the files is the time they were created, i copy them to a temp directory using 'cp -a' and then run the attached one-liner in that directory, if you only have files with the one suffix of course then you won't need the bit about storing the suffix in varaible! i guess what i'm saying is look at the 'stat' and 'date' commands :) bascule On Friday 05 Sep 2003 1:49 pm, Anne Wilson wrote: On Friday 05 Sep 2003 3:16 am, Josenildo Marques wrote: My camera is a quasi-camera.

But if that all makes sense then it's dead easy. Ok, I downloaded it, but it seems I have to study more about telinit3 and telinit 5. How can I change them ? The easy way is to go into the Mandrake Control Centre, click Boot then Drakboot. Uncheck the box next to Launch the graphicl environment when your system starts. Then rebot, and you'll be in runlevel 3, i.e. no GUI, just a command prompt. From there, install your new drivers and do anything else you need, then type startx to get your GUI back.

Re: [newbie] infected list posting

I have this list whitelisted in my procmail filters, so unless the university is killing the infected messages first, I should be getting them, and I haven't so far [knocks on wood]. I rather suspect that Bryan is right on this one too, and that some ISPs are doing a better job of filtering than others :-) Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?

If no-one comes into this thread telling you how to check it in windows, start a new thread called mdk5sums in windows, and someone will tell you how to do it.

My question is if I just point the Nero to *.iso file and Nero burn the*.iso file content to cd or just burn just one file (*.iso) in cd... 'cause I never do it this way... So if I understand you correctly, even when you *tell* Nero to burn an image, it still asks whether you want to burn as one file or something else? No, it just asks you which file is to be used to make the image I wish I had Nero here to test it... :-( That's the real answer. Leave it now until you can sit in front of Nero, then try it again. I think you'll find it intuitive. I had no problem at all in knowing what to do with it, once someone had explained to me that I needed the Burn an Image bit.

Re: [newbie] Another list member needs cleansing!

robin [EMAIL PROTECTED] uttered:
Can't do this for list mail, of course, but I'm tempted to put
something like this in my procmail recipes after the whitelists:
:0
* ^X-Mailer:.Microsoft.Outlook.Express*
{
EXITCODE=100
:0 f
| echo Outlook Express is a virus spreader; echo Please use a
proper email client
:0 r
|
}
You can if you have another rule which overrides it and allows list mail
to come through, no?
I don't know how to do it in Procmail, but I have that implemented in my
Mailfilter config, since most spam comes from Outhouse Express:
SCORE +100 =^X-Mailer:.*Outlook
ALLOW = ^(To|From):[EMAIL PROTECTED]
ALLOW = ^(To|From):[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Luckily, I know maybe 4 or 5 people who send me mail with Outlook, so I
just set specific ALLOW rules for them.
I don't think I can get Mailfilter to send back a smartass message tho,
LOL!
