Mi rispondono che è la nuova politica aziendale. Vado a rileggermi il contratto e gli rispondo che non esisteva clausola che prevedesse la presenza di pop-up, e che se non avessero provveduto a rimuoverlo avrei contattato personalmente un avvocato (io... ma vi figurate se mi mettevo a contattare uno studio legale in inghilterra).

[newbie-it] Rilasciati nuovi manuali OpenOffice.org KDE Mozilla
COMUNICATO STAMPA Bologna, 27 ottobre 2003 *YACME S.r.l. rilascia i nuovi manuali Open Source: OpenOffice.org, KDE, Mozilla* Dal sito dell'azienda bolognese http://www.yacme.com/ è possibile scaricare i manuali alle applicazioni desktop Open Source più diffuse: OpenOffice.org, che costituisce una valida alternativa a MS Office, nei moduli più utilizzati Writer (elaboratore testi) e Calc (foglio elettronico); KDE, l'interfaccia utente per il desktop Linux facile da usare per gli utenti abituati a Windows; Mozilla, il potente browser erede di Netscape, che fornisce funzioni utilissime come il tabbed browsing ed il filtro antispamming. I manuali -Guida a OpenOffice.org Writer versione rinnovata -Guida a OpenOffice.org Calc versione rinnovata -Guida a Mozilla -Guida al Linux Desktop KDE si possono scaricare dalla pagina http://www.yacme.com/linux_download.php. Nei primi due giorni dal rilascio, avvenuto in anteprima venerdì 24 ottobre per gli abbonati alla newsletter YACME, sono già state scaricate 700 copie dei manuali. Tutti prodotti da YACME, i manuali sono stati rilasciati con licenza Open Source GNU FDL (GNU Free Documentation License): questo significa che è possibile usarli, copiarli, modificarli, ricavarne delle versioni commerciali, naturalmente mantenendo la corretta attribuzione del copyright originario di YACME S.r.l.; inoltre le versioni ridistribuite vanno rilasciate con la medesima licenza Open Source originaria. La scelta di utilizzare una licenza copyleft quale la GNU FDL si traduce quindi in uno scambio di benefici: YACME mette a disposizione il proprio lavoro alla comunità di utenti, ma in cambio ottiene di poter a propria volta usufruire dei miglioramenti che questi ultimi apporteranno. La prima versione dei manuali OpenOffice.org era già stata utilizzata da diverse società commerciali per realizzare delle vere e proprie distribuzioni di OpenOffice.org: queste società avevano stampato i manuali YACME e realizzato una scatola comprendente anche un CD col software OpenOffice.org. Inoltre alcuni membri della comunità Open Source hanno contribuito a migliorare i manuali, e i loro contributi sono stati inclusi nelle nuove versioni dei manuali. C H I S I A M O YACME S.r.l., Bologna, è un'impresa attiva fin dal 2000 nel settore dei servizi IT, la cui missione è essere punto di riferimento per le imprese private e pubbliche su Linux ed il mondo Open Source attraverso l'offerta di competenze, servizi e lo sviluppo di soluzioni innovative. http://www.yacme.com/ Contatti con la stampa: Ufficio Marketing - Marta Rosso - +39 051 538709 NIC -- ...siate sempre capaci di sentire nel+profondo qualsiasi ingiustizia commessa contro chiunque,in qualsiasi parte del mondo.è la qualità+bella di un rivoluzionario che

Dei giochi sudici ( SE DI QUESTO SI TRATTA) non mi interessa. C'e' gia' Microsoft. Ciao a tutti e grazie per le vostre opinioni Premesso che non voglio fare il difensore altrui, non credo che l'esclusione dei sorgenti del kernel dalla distribuzione appena rilasciata sia stata una mossa volontaria (o, come dici tu, un gioco sudicio). La storia passata e recente di MandrakeSoft mi sembra che giochi decisamente a favore della società francese che, finora, si è sempre dimostrata molto corretta nell'applicazione delle regole derivanti dall'adesione ad un modello di sviluppo (economico e del software) fedele ai concetti di open source e di free software. Certamente, però, è stata una scelta poco ponderata ed infelice, un passo nella direzione sbagliata: va bene cercare di puntare a conquistare l'utenza desktop rendendo la distro accessibile ed utilizzabile anche da chi, pur stanco dei bug di M$, non abbia tempo, voglia o preparazione per configurare a mano ogni singola cosa. Ma escludere i sorgenti del kernel è un passo che va troppo nella direzione del temibile *utonto* in perfetto stile Windows. Quindi ben venga la protesta, per consentire a MandrakeSoft di correggere i propri errori, o quanto meno di non ripeterli in futuro. Ma non dimentichiamo che non basta questo a rendere improvvisamente un'ottima società del mondo GNU/Linux una sorta di novella M$oft. Ciao... Daniele

The next question has to be 'how can a more representative sample of hardware be found during the testing phase?'. Longer time isn't enough, I think, unless we can answer those questions.

Re: [newbie] grub lilo
For the differences: Lilo uses the BIOS to access the partition where the image is residing. It is file-system independent. This is accomplished at boot sector installation time, by translating the location of the kernel image into a list of disk sectors, which then LILO loads using the BIOS. As a consequence, when you change anything about the kernel (location, configuration...) you need to re-run lilo so that it can update the map. Grub incorporates a reduced version of a file system, so it uses the file system meta-information to access the kernel image at boot time. That's why you don't need to re-run grub after modifying the kernel: it gets the information it needs directly from the FS.

[newbie] Serial port problem
I'm having a problem with my serial ports. Mandrake 9.1, Fujitsu L-470 PII w/192M. This has a built-in modem, infrared port, and a serial port. When I set the serial ports to AUTO in BIOS then I'm unable to synch my Palm device using either ttyS0 or ttyS1 (Kpilot). When I disable the IR serial in BIOS, no change. When I manually define IRQ4 and 3f8 in the BIOS for the non-IR port, then DMESG lists it as ttyS0 with that information. That all seems good, but then I'm able to synch with either ttyS0 or ttyS1! Both ports seem to have the same information, somehow the port is split. I'm concerned when two software ports point to the same hardware because it may indicate that I've munged something, and it may reduce the efficiency. Thanks for your help, Max P.S.

Probably related is that when I log off, instead of going to a login/reboot/shutdown screen, I'm returned right back into KDE. The second time I log off, it works properly.

Yes, you are using autologin. When you use autologin, the dm is never started because autologin is handled elsewhere. You probably have autologin set in your dm too, which is why when you logout out and the dm starts, it logs you back in right away. Subsequent logouts present you with a login dialogue because the dm autologin only happens when the dm is first started.

This has a built-in modem, infrared port, and a serial port. When I set the serial ports to AUTO in BIOS then I'm unable to synch my Palm device using either ttyS0 or ttyS1 (Kpilot). When I disable the IR serial in BIOS, no change. When I manually define IRQ4 and 3f8 in the BIOS for the non-IR port, then DMESG lists it as ttyS0 with that information. That all seems good, but then I'm able to synch with either ttyS0 or ttyS1! Both ports seem to have the same information, somehow the port is split. I'm concerned when two software ports point to the same hardware because it may indicate that I've munged something, and it may reduce the efficiency. Thanks for your help, Max P.S.

Re: [newbie] grub lilo
On Mon, 27 Oct 2003 10:21:22 +0100 Raffaele Belardi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: For the differences: Lilo uses the BIOS to access the partition where the image is residing. It is file-system independent. This is accomplished at boot sector installation time, by translating the location of the kernel image into a list of disk sectors, which then LILO loads using the BIOS. As a consequence, when you change anything about the kernel (location, configuration...) you need to re-run lilo so that it can update the map. Grub incorporates a reduced version of a file system, so it uses the file system meta-information to access the kernel image at boot time. That's why you don't need to re-run grub after modifying the kernel: it gets the information it needs directly from the FS.

[newbie] Fatal server
Hi all, I managed to royally mess up my MD 9.1 just before finishing my BitTorrent download and while waiting for my PowerPack to be shipped :-(( Somewhere I found an advice that all font names should have small letters in their names. As not all my fonts were working, I launched Krename and changed the caps to small letters, while waiting for BT, this was probably the stupidest I could have done! I noticed my fonts changing, but not improving. Today I had to go to Windows to do my bank payments. Afterwards I couldn't start X any longer. I found an X error reading i.a.: quote Using vt 7. Could not init font path element unix/:-1, removing from list. Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'. unquote Restoring all fonts from tarballs I had put on cdrw before upgrading to 9.2 didn't help anything. I googled for the problem and found several answers, such as: *directory / is full: not in my case ( 3 Gb spare); *restart xfs server; I already tried that in runlevels 3 and 5. * reinstall XF86 packages: did that; didn't help. * I restored /etc/XF86Config from tarball on cd: didn't help * another answer said to delete reference to default font in XF86Config, but there wasn't any, except for an other Mandrake font server. In each case I restarted the xfs server and tried to start X, but it failed. In the last case I waited 10 to 15 minutes and saw an occasional attempt by X to start up (a few coloured lines showing or very fast falshing by of my last terminal screen), but nothing helped. I should very much appreciate it if somebody can advise me how to get back in my Mandrake with X. Thanks in advance.

Re: [newbie] Gramofile
10/27/03 To echo Paul's comments, Red means danger. On a recording device it means you're about to destroy whatever is on the tape by recording over it. By using the color red for an armed track, you can immediately tell which tracks in a multi-track recording setup are going to be overwritten with the new material, and which tracks are locked green and will not be overwritten. Advances in computer recording software have made possible a Virtual Recording Mode. Now you can edit and add effects without destroying the original audio material. Samplitude Studio from SEK'D (I have a Windows Version) makes a fundamental difference between a VIP (Virtual Image Project) and a HD (Hard Disk) project file and RAP (RAM Project) file. HD and RAP projects contain the physical audio material (such as the WAV file.) VIP files use pointers into the physical audio files (WAV). So when working with VIP files, the editing can be non-linear and non-destructive. You're only working with pointers and not the actual physical audio file. Anyone know if there are comparable software programs for Linux? I haven't had time to check into that yet. Regards, The Other. Yea - I've always wondered whose idea it was to make red mean go... :-) Red is often used on Industrial processes for Dangerous. Device turns red when it is moving. The same thinking applied to traffic lights means Green = safe to enter intersection. Red = Dangerous to enter intersection. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I gave the files song names to see if it would give me the same songs titiles in a CD player, it doesn't, so that will not work, next time I'll stick to track1 etc. Obviously I really need to build a CDDB file , can gramofile do this for me ? Now exactly why are you not using Grip on a CDROM in your computer? It will check out CDDB for you, and seperate the tracks perfectly. both generating the wav, and encoding the mp3/ogg. I must of recorded it all much too loud because I have considerable audio distortion but that can easily corrected.I've set aumix line to 50%, and I think I will trim the CD/tapedeck player audio output levels by 10/15% as well. I notice now that the green slider bars display window were in fact sometimes hitting orange tops. Yes, Its probably best to set your input level low enough so you never top out. I usually then end with a 1-5% top out from Gramofile. On further question. I'm having to swap the computer CD audio line and this CD/tapedeck audio line over with one another on the mobo socket. I don't like doing this all the time, not leat it is going to end up damaging the 4 prongs of the sprocket gived time, can I splice the two cables together provided I keet to the wire colour coding. Is it OK from the computers point of view, can it destinguish between the differenc sound sources, even though they arrive via the same socket , or is it something I'm going to have to live with ? By splice, I assume that you mean wire the two output sources to the same input jack. I don't think it will be a problem at all. As to the CDDB database, it functions by reading an ID code encoded into the CD, or failing that, it checks the tracks and their start and end points and trys to match those (the only one that I know that pulls that sort of stunt is the MS Media Player current version. I have to use it at work, and it can ID my copied CDs, something my computer cannot do.). Rob -- Mountlake Terrace, Washington Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Gramofile
10/27/03 Hello John, You indicate you're concerned about the constantly switching of cables on the motherboard eventually fatiguing the connectors on the motherboard. A very good concern. But there's an easy solution. Get a stereo cable extender. Plug the male end of the stereo cable extender into the motherboard and leave it plugged in at all times. Then use the female end to make the switches between the DVD output and the CD/Tape output. It will be more convenient to make the switches and it's a lot cheaper buying another stereo cable extender as opposed to buying another motherboard. Or you could do the same thing with a stereo-Y cable if they make such a beast. I know they make mono-Y cables, but I'm not certain about the stereo-Y cable. You could always make your own stereo-Y cable, I suppose. Plug the base of the Y cable into the motherboard. Plug the DVD into one arm of the Y cable , and the CD/Tape into the other arm. Now you don't have to reconnect anything when you want to record from the DVD or the CD/Tape. Using a Y cable you may experience a little signal loss, but you simply increase the volume level on that input source. No big deal and you won't hurt your motherboard. And because you're running line-out from the DVD and CD/Tape jacks into the motherboard's line-in, you won't hurt the motherboard. Even if you Y both the DVD and CD/Tape sound sources together into the motherboard and record both simultaneously, you won't hurt the motherboard. Just remember to always test your recording first at low volume levels until you find exactly where the highest volume on the sound source occurs. Keeping playing that spot on the sound source so you can set your record volume to its maximum level without getting distortion. Then record the song. This way, the quiet places will be quiet and the loudest places won't distort during recording. It sounded like you hadn't been doing this record level test in a previous post, so I put the advice for you in this post. Since you're not recording a live source, there's no excuse for you to have any distortion in your recording to hard disk. Not trying to put any pressure on you, really I'm not. :) Stephen. I still need to know whether it is possible to splice my normal dvd audio cable together with this new external CD/tapedeck player audio cable and connect both to the mobo. Will this blow things up, or is it OK to have two seperate devices on the same socket? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] grub lilo
I'm starting to learn more about grub. And on a Mandrake system that means trouble for someone. You see, I now have my primary disk exclusively Mandrake and though the first partition is /boot I have yet to see Lilo ala GUI perform reliably yet. The first screen always comes up OK but when lilo moves on to the second screen, well, I get to boot successfully usually after the third or fourth try. I have had this problem since Mandrake9.0 and it gets annoying when my system will not boot up first time each day. I guess that makes this a con for lilo then? -- Regards Frank Big or small, a challenge requires the same commitment to resolve.

Grub: Pros: - You can edit the config file and not worry about having to write it to the mbr like lilo, it'll take effect on the next boot. - You can edit stanzas on the fly on the Grub menu on boot. Cons: - If you mess up the config file, you might end up with a unbootable system. This can be a nightmare for people doing remote support. Lilo: Pros: After you edit the lilo config file you can do a lilo -v and know if you messed anything up or not. Well, most of the time. Syntax is easier to understand and use for newbies. Cons: Versions older than 2 years will have the dreaded 1024 cylinder barrier for /boot. I'm sure that there are more, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head.
