Re: [newbie-it] avvio automatico kde
ok quindi se da utente avvii in runlevel 3 lanciando startx dovrebbe partire kde... in runlevel 5 usi gdm/kdm quindi cambia tutto da runlevel 3 usando startx parte tutto perfettamente... in /etc/rc5.d/ c'e' S30dm quindi penso di usare 'sta roba per far partire kde in runlevel 5, va bene? (penso che gdm stia per gnome dm e kdm stia per kde dm..) grazie...

[newbie] Can't start X, No Devices
Fellow Linux users, I'm trying to sell a Compaq Deskpro 2000 (Pentium 200MMX w/96M RAM, 1M Video), and I have a buyer if I can get Linux on it. The thing works fine under Win 98, Win ME, Win Pro. Under Linux my first hurdle was the sudden appearance of a bad track, resolved by installing the HD on another machine (no bad track there), installing MDK9.1 and transferring the drive back. Everything seemed fine, I was using WindowMaker and IceWM, and it was groovy. But something happened along the way and now it doesn't auto-login, and once logged in, it won't run X (or any other GUI I've tried). The display information is correct. The init level is 5. When I try to run X, there are several lines dealing with authority stuffs, and then there is the error message No Devices Found. I thought Linux's strength was that it could run on almost anything from watches to supercomputers, so the limitation here must be my ability to modify Linux for this machine. BTW, the bad track is apparently back because fsck finds a bunch of bad blocks in a row. It finds the same one each time run, and I've tried employing the -l/-L switches, but must be doing something wrong there too. It must be a BIOS issue, and on these Compaqs there's no convenient access to the BIOS. BTW, I spent 11 hours on this and look at recieving $60 for the system grin. Also, the bad track thing had me throw away a harddrive a few weeks ago, same tracks reading as bad on this drive, so that drive was probably ok too. sigh Is the answer: Nope, MDK9.1 won't run on that piece of junk, install Win and sell it for less?

[newbie] 9.1 PPC install video issue
I have an old world PowerMac 9600/200 MP running OS8.6 that I'd like to load 9.1 on. I can get through BootX, get it to see the CDROM and get it to load the installer, but the video is scrambled as soon as the installer starts. I've used the force-fbdev and every permuation of force video and no video options using vmlinuz and all.gz in bootX. All the same result. The monitor is an apple multiscan 15AV and I have tried a Sony multiscan 200 as well. I opened the box to see what's inside. Ive got an add on PCI video card that came with the machine instead of an integrated video like that on the 8600s. It is labeled Twin Turbo 128+ on the chip, Twin Turbo 128MA v3.7 on the video BIOS, and has an IBM Palette DAC. Also I've got 8 RAMs welded on, so I'm guessing it's a 4MB memory. Is there a video setting I can specify in the options that will work with this card so I can see straight?

Re: [newbie] MDK9.1 - Konqueror select boxes
At 01:07 PM 10/30/03, Frank Bax wrote: I'd also like to hear from anyone using 9.2 to see if same problem presents itself. On web pages with (pulldown) select boxes, what happens when you use the keyboard is difficult to describe in abstract terms, so I'll use an example. If you visit any webpage that uses a select box to choose country, then hitting the letter C will cause cursor to be positioned to first country starting with a C. If you press C again, the next country is selected. If you keep tapping the C key, you effectively scroll through all the countries starting with C, restarting at the first one when you reach the end. Konqueror appears to have a feature whereby if you tap the C key twice rather quickly (like a double-click, but on the keyboard), you are taken back to the first country starting with C. This might appear to be a nice feature to go back to the beginning, but I'd like to turn it off. We have developed forms for data entry and some of our staff enter data rather quickly - they would like to get to the second or third value rather quickly, but if they type too fast, the cursor does not leave the first choice. Telling staff to work slower is not an attractive option. Is it possible to disable this double-keytap feature? Apparently there is no setting to control this behaviour. There are two other browsers on the MDK9.1 cdrom's. Both of them (Mozilla Galeon) behave even more badly than Konqueror on this problem. I've not heard from anyone with 9.2 yet...

At work, we are considering replacing CheckPoint SecureRemote VPN with Microsoft VPN that's built in to Windows 2K server versions. To hook up with MS VPN from a Win2K remote system requires no add-on software; everything needed is built into Win2K. Does anyone have any experience with setting up Linux to connect to a MS VPN?

Such things are unacceptable. What's so bad about what you already have, that waiting another few weeks for 9.2 would make life unbearable? Let's hope that Gael was talking about something else. :-) He probably was Anne For me there's nothing wrong with it. I also have been with MDK long enough to realize that release time is a time for rumours, things which don't work quite right yet, a few dozen patches in a very short length of time, and then 5 months or so of pure OS and distro bliss till we go through it all again :-) Please notice that I said incredible regret. Right now I support two small businesses and nervous nellies who are a bit uncomfortable without the big, smothering arms of Billy to go running to. They're still newbies in the serious sense. I get panicy phone calls about things like this. And no matter how many times I ask if they're system has crashed yet (none) or that their spanking new Evolution doesn't lose emails the way that Outlook does or that they aren't relentlessly spammed or port scanned anymore things like this upset them. So if I do move it won't be because I'm dissatisfied. It will be because I have to support another distro. Of course if they go back to Windows they're on their own :) ttfn John Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Why do I have to start KDE manually?
Greetings. I've had this problem for a couple of months and had hoped that installing 9.2 would fix it, but it didn't. After I boot up, I see a terminal window on a blue screen. When I enter startkde, it does. How can I get my system to do this automagically? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Start kde then open a terminal window type su then enter root password when prompted.Then type drakboot It will give a menu and just check the box next to (launch the graphical enviroment when system starts) then click ok.

Re: [newbie] LAN problem

I have a home network using NFS and Samba (whenever I get it running), but I never have such problems, at least with the connections disappearing. At least for NFS, they are always there. I am caused to wonder however, about what you are doing with IP-Tables? On a home network, I don't see any reason to run it, unless you are fire walling the server with it. In that case, I would use another box, maybe a P-90 to be your firewall, and let the home side of the network be open to all. Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people.

[newbie] 9.2 questions
Hi All, I am looking into getting a new computer and I want to run MD9.2 on it but I have a few questions. I like to have a good printed manual for reference. Is The Definitive Guide to Using Mandrake Linux going to be updated for 9.2? Is this guide any good? How about the manuals offered in the boxed sets: Discovering Mandrake Linux guide (is this any good) Starter guide (is this one any good) Reference manual (how about this one) Is there any way to get the above manuals without getting the boxed sets? (are they on the CD's as html or pdf?) What does it mean CrossOver Office 2.0 'limited'? Does 'limited' mean an evaluation copy or is it just a fully operational light version? If so, what is missing? How about VMware workstation? is this a fully operational version of vmware? (Win4Lin too) btw what exactly is this LG cdrom problem?

[newbie] SUID/SGID permissions
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello Mandrake group, In one of the security guides, the counsel was given to remove the SUID and SGID permissions from different programs on the Linux box. Did anyone come across a list where such programs are listed? For example, should programs like pppd, kppp traceroute(6), man, cdrecord and alike have that kind of permissions or can it safely be changed? - -- -=Robert Beata Golovniov | Lviv, Ukraine=- ~~ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Body=Embedded%20key ~~ Raise your eyes high up and see.
