What mail program do you use? Just copy that script into a file and make it

[newbie] java path for Konquerer

2004-03-15 Thread acid
what should be the correct path to java for Konqueror web browser be so I can 
use chat rooms?
mine is currently:/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/lib/i386/libjava.so
which only gives me  a 'applet loading' screen for days.
I know it's in the /lib/i386/ folder because thats the directory  I set for 
Opera, and it works. Opera only needs the directory java is in , Konqueror 
requires you t point to the exact file which obviously isn't /libjava.so.

I'd use Opera but I hate it. so please tell me which file I should point to in 
the /i386/ directory.
There is a executive file named aw_robot or something  but that doesn't seem 
to work, there are a bunch of .so files, I imagine it's one of them , but 
which one?

Hi Marc,
So you're using ACPI on your notebook? I tried that too, but, then the battery 
indicator's gone from systray. Previously I used apmd, so I tried to run it, 
but it seemed that when we chose ACPI, linux erased apmd. I don't know why. 
Also, what is the different between ACPI and apmd? I use apmd now.
About the fan, in my Acer TM802LCi, it doesn't always run, but more often that 
if I'm in windows.

Hi Matt, are you using dialup or static ip?
If static use this script (mind the word wrap):
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j SNAT --to-source 
202.155.24.132(replace with your static ip) 

or if dialup:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE

**) 192.168.0.0/24 is your internal network.
I must remind you though that those scripts give you zero protection. If you 
want a complete firewall script you can google for it for example: gShield.

Mercy beaucoup Marc!,
So, all those unused swap is normal? Because I thought the OS will write into 
it no matter there's still free RAM or not. So, the formula of swap = 2 x RAM 
isn't true for big RAM?
Just now, I tried to exhaust the RAM by opening lots of apps (kmail, 
konqueror, galeon, gimp, openoffice, etc), but strange.. the RAM seems never 
ran out.

actually in this situation the best thing to do is simply install the 
bootloader to a floppy and boot the third Mandrake installation from there. 
It works flawlessly this way, and also keeps from getting the bootloader 
stuff already on the hard disk all messed up. Saves on user stress as well.

Christophe, 

check my reponse to Aron just above this one. It explains a bit more as to 
whats going on.

In brief, if the firewall is turned off, then the inet connections become 
inoperable. When it is turned on things work. Thats a feature and "not" a 
bug. If this is a workstation behind an already configured firewall, then 
just allow everything. If not, then you'll have to configure some sort of 
rudamentary firewall. If you've got no services running other then maybe 
ssh to this machine, then when you turn the firewall on open the ports for 
the service you're running. Thats really all there is to it.

I would suggest reading up on IP Tables a bit so you've got some idea of 
whats going on as opposed to relying solely a GUI config wizard. If you can 
find the packages try installing Bastille on your system. Its probably the 
easiest out there to configure, and once its done you just let it alone.

but thats only if you're running a web server. If there's aren't any 
services being run on this machine then it doesn't matter. The firewall has 
to be at least enabled in some fashion in order for the inet connections to 
function correctly. Which is why the poster notices functionality when the 
firewall is turned on, and no functionality when the firewall is turned 
off.

By far the easiest and least troublesome firewall app I've seen and have 
been using now since Mandrake 8.2 is Bastille. I've seen Shorewall, and a 
bunch of the others; and have in fact tried them out. I always came back to 
Bastille. It just works.

[newbie] remote X login

2004-03-15 Thread Stephen G Smith
I have succesfully set up xdm on a Mandrake 9.2 server so that users can 
do remote X logins. however, I have run into the problem that even 
though they can bring up KDE, those users don't seem to be listed as 
logged in. The 'users' command does not list them, and the talk daemon 
says "user not logged in". Is this all right and correct? Any 
help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Stephen

Re: [newbie] User permissions

2004-03-15 Thread acid
OK I tried that today and it still won't read nor write to the zip drive.
I tried writing to zip drive as regular user and root: 'cannot write to device 
'and 'writting to devices are not supported" are the error messages I'm 
getting. Even though i formated the disk in linux just like you said.
Ok  I'm about to give up and try Red Hat, I'm beginning to think this might be 
a bug in Mandrake, I can see no reason why this won't work, if anyone else 
has had problems with zip drives with Mandrake please respond.

[newbie] OpenOffice fails in 10.0

2004-03-15 Thread Dennis Myers
Has anyone got openoffice to run in 10.0? It is claimed to be "everything 
installed" but when I try to open it the hourglass flips for a while and then 
goes away, leaving my original desktop. I thought permissions might be messed 
up but can find nothing like the right file to change. 
Funny, tuxracer won't start either, it makes my system logout, not a reboot 
just a logout. Guesses for grabs?

giFT is a daemon that enables you to connect to multiple networks
including FastTrack (the kazaa network), OpenNap, Gnutella and the best
network of all OpenFT (openft is developed by the giFT team so you can
consider it the native protocol).
Apollon is a KDE gui for giFT and you can get them all from PLF mirrors.
I really recommend giFT (console lovers should try giFTcurs instead of
apollon), consider running an OpenFT searchnode there is a shortage of
those.
cheers,
Alaa


I got this error after trying to start the giFT daemon. I went through 
the config and all that:

*** GIFT-FATAL: couldn't load protocol in file 
/usr/lib/giFT/libOpenFT.la: file not found
*** Often times more information can be found in the log file or with 
the -v command line switch.

Any ideas?

You were correct about this one, but changing it hasn't helped any.  The temp 
directory that I had specified was in a subdirectory under the system /tmp 
partition, but it's woefully low on space, at least to hold a DVD's worth of 
data (3.2Gb).  Changing it to another partition, with more space, hasn't 
helped any, though.  The puzzling thing here is that the new directory is 
reflected in K3b's configuration file, but the old directory is reflected in 
the growisofs section of the K3b debug output.  I'm still chasing down 
whether there is a second place that contains the /tmp location.

2004-03-15 Thread Asa Rossoff



Hi;  I've been pulling my hair out trying to 
solve this one since I installed Mandrake 9.2 a month ago ...
 
My video display becomes corrupt in X as I work.. 
like static appearing on the screen, especially when scrolling or dragging 
windows.Video card: 3d Labs Permedia 2Mandrake 9.2The 
problem is reproduced in all resolutions, although I've only tried the 24bpp 
modes.The problem is reproduced at low clock/scan rates (i.e. 31.5 
640x480 60hz) and at optimal rates. No difference.My display works fine 
in Windows 98 which I have installed dual-boot.I've tried enabling the 
no_accel option in XF86Config-4.  Just slower display, no 
help.

It will change the symlinking in /biit so that the entries the installer set 
up will boot to the new kernel.  The lilo entries point to the symlinks 
in /boot, so if you change th esymlinks, the entries boot whatever the 
symlinks point to.

> Does lilo get updated in such a way to allow booting to old kernel?
Not on the first update.  Every kernel update adds an explicit choice for 
itself in the bootloader menu.  This allows you to boot into a previously 
installed kernel if the new one does not work as advertised.  The only 
problem with this is that the first kernel install does not install itself 
with an explicit entry, only the symlink ones, so if you want to be able to 
boot the original kernel, you have to add an entry for it to lilo.conf 
manually.

> Or should I attemp a configure and build from the source rpm according to a

Not necessary unless you would like to experience the thrill of building your 
own kernel, in which case you will want to install the kernel-source package 
and then follow the various instructions.  The kernel SRPM will only build 
the kernels exactly as you see them on the mirrors.

[newbie] A few ACPI problems.

2004-03-15 Thread Marc Resnick
Okay, so I'm suddenly having a few problems with ACPI on my Compaq 
Presario 2190US notebook. It's worked fine before, except for the second 
problem.

1. My KDE battery meter is gone. I looked for the config GUI in the KDE 
settings, but it's not there. I then tried kacpi, thinking it was the 
same thing, but it was completely different, and didn't show in the 
system tray. How do I get this back? It worked fine up until yesterday 
when it suddenly disappeared.

2. I have no control over the fan. It's always running, and is quite 
loud. I looked in /proc/acpi/fan, but there are no files. Is there 
anything I can do about this? In Windows, the fan will stop usually. In 
Linux, it just keeps going.

TIA,

Just tried this.  I can see that it's built on XMMS, but what is the
advantage over XMMS?  I'm having troule seeing a difference apart from
the fact that running XMMS realtime as root gives me very few skips,
while running bmp in the same way skips all over the place.  (Note: this

[newbie] kernel upgrade?

2004-03-15 Thread Mike Adolf
I am now runing kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk in mdk 9.1 and would like to upgrade to  
2.4.21.0.28mdk. Rpmdrake list 5 flavors of the 0.28. under update.

Standard, enterprise, secure,  smp, and source. Since the machine is non-net 
wrokstation, I guess I would use 

kernel-2.4.21.0.28mdk rpm

What exactly happens if I install this rpm?
Does it preserve my configuration defined during 9.1 install? 
Does lilo get updated in such a way to allow booting to old kernel?
Or should I attemp a configure and build from the source rpm according to a 
HOWTO?

Thanks,
mike

[newbie] Mandrake 10.0 Data DVD

2004-03-15 Thread Bryan Phinney
Well, the Wrong medium type error is gone now, not sure exactly how that 
happened but it is certainly welcome.

Has anyone else had a similar problem.  I suspect that it has something to do 
with trying to mount a regular data CD first before trying to mount DVD media 
but I will experiment with it more to try to figure it out.

I do love the new version though, I had an old DVD+RW that was unwritable for 
some strange reason, both under Windows and under Linux previously.  Just for 
grins, I popped it in and tried to burn a backup to it.  It burned without 
any problems and I can now see the files on the disk.

If you are using Mdk 9.2 there is a box in the wizard GUI to select which dhcp 
client you want to use.   dhcpcd is the default so unless it is not present 
that is the one you will use.

You could also remove the dhcp-client package and then there is no way 
dhclient could be used.
The way the scripts work is they test to see if the default client is present, 
and then test for an alternate client if it is missing

Make sure cpufreqd is installed and running and then insert the speedstep

[newbie] Problem with Kmail

2004-03-15 Thread Hoyt Bailey
I can no longer send messages with kmail due to a massive corruption of
kde while transferring music files.  I attempted to solve the problem by
deleting .kde from /home. Lots of files there.  It resulted in kde not
working at all so I deleted kde and reinstalled.  Now kmail does fine
but will not send messages.  There is also a problem with Xmms seemingly
an address problem but only on the output side,  that is the display is
playing along fine but the speakers put out white noise with
interruption of music.  This is a KDE problem since it works in gnome. 
I am using evolution to send this.  I have three words for evolution
"awful awful awful".  The only idea I have is to reinstall all programs
that are having problems so they will reconfigure themselves.  I would
rather not do that.  So if anyone has a better idea please help?

giFT is a daemon that enables you to connect to multiple networks
including FastTrack (the kazaa network), OpenNap, Gnutella and the best
network of all OpenFT (openft is developed by the giFT team so you can
consider it the native protocol).
Apollon is a KDE gui for giFT and you can get them all from PLF mirrors.

I really recommend giFT (console lovers should try giFTcurs instead of
apollon), consider running an OpenFT searchnode there is a shortage of
those.

Travis, you can click on the mytorrent file in konqueror and it will ask where 
to download kinda by showing a file tree, make a file folder you want to save

Hello Fajar;

For small files yes, no trouble. For stuff such as Mandrake 10 Community 
Editionwll not so much. (-:

Just how long do you plan to live my friend? Theoretically you could use bit 
torrent on a dial up connection; but remember the size of the (for example) 
complete torrent for Mandrake 10 Community. 2.0 Giga Bytes. How long do you 
think that would take at a (theoretical) maximum download speed of 5 KB per 
second?

On the other hand you can achieve the same effect (having the ISOs) using 
rsync instead, and with less pain involved.

If you still have the ISOs from a previous version just copy and rename them 
to what you see here:

ftp://sunsite.uio.no/pub/unix/Linux/Mandrake/Mandrake/iso

or here:

ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/iso

Then open a terminal and run rsync against a mirror that supports it. The 
following is the command I use as me, not root. Change the directory path 
(the part after the space between /Mandrake/iso/ and /archive/backup and so 
on) to suit your own local environment:

rsync -avrt --progress --delete --exclude MandrakeMove-i586.iso 
ftp.uninett.no::Mandrake/Mandrake/iso/ 
/archive/backup/nanook/downloads/Mandrakelinux-10.0-Community/

That's all one line.

The reason the --exclude flag is in there is probably obvious, you don't need 
MandrakeMove. Or the md5sum.asc for it but I'm leaving the reader something 
to do for themselves.  The reason(s) for using rsync instead of anything 
else are IMHO:

you only actually download the differences between the files, so less (much) 
bandwidth and less (much) time involved;

it's one way, download only. Sort of anyway, rsync reads everything on both 
ends but only downloads what's required to synchronize the directories. 
Rather than upload and download as with bit torrent. Again less bandwidth;

Less chance of file corruption due to restarts. Maybe.

[newbie] mono to stereo

2004-03-15 Thread Josenildo Marques
I wanted to turn some mp3 files to .wav and then burn them, but I got an
error when trying to burn the .wav files. Then I came to understand the
reason why it happened: the .wav files were mono files. After a bit of
googling I found what I was looking for

$ sox monofile.wav -r 44100 -c 2 stereofile.wav

I tried to create an alias, but it didn't work. Then I created my first 
script -- if it could be called a script. It is very simple, but it
works.


#!/bin/bash
echo please enter the filename
read name
sox $name -r 44100 -c 2 stereofile.wav


I hope someone will find this useful.
If anyone knows of any other way of doing it, then please let me know.
Thanks.

Which ones get installed depends on window manager and other 
installations.  Are you running kde?  If so, install the packages 
that it's asking for (that you listed above).  Maybe it will function 
better then.  As bascule said, though, once you get it as you want 
it, you must then save that as the default, because it loads defaults 
when you boot up.

I have pretty good luck with MLDonkey, GTK-Gnutella, and Napshare, for different
things.

All are available through urpmi, for mldonkey do:

urpmi mldonkey-gui

and it will install the CLI and GUI components, then from a term run 'mldonkey'.

The others are good mostly for MP3's.

Of course, there's also Direct Connect, kinda a combo of chat and filesharing,

1. Put MP3z in dir.

in .bashrc add these lines:

# mp3 functions
function mp3dec() { for i in *.mp3; do lame --decode $i `basename $i .mp3`.wav;

function mp3ren() { for i in *.mp3; do mv "$i" `echo $i | tr ' '

Mind the line wrap, of course.

Then lines 3 and 4 are just mp3ren, then mp3dec.

[newbie] one software missing...

2004-03-15 Thread Thinker
Hello All,

 I was just reading the post on software recommendations and I noticed 
that 'file sharing' or 'p2p' was not listed.

Is there a good file sharing program for linux? I know about 
Bittorrent, but it seems to be lacking in GUI and search capability.

Thanks,

[newbie] Three small questions.......

2004-03-15 Thread Henriette Holm
Hi.
I just installed Mandrake 10 and I'm quite happy with it. I just have 
three (quick) questions:

1) There used to be this small tool in KDE showing the different 
partitions. It was found under the KDE menu -> Information -> 
Partitions. Anybody knows where it is now?

2) On the desktop the icons seems to be very close together - almost on 
top of each other. Is there any way of changing this?

3) After the installation I noticed two weird mounts: /mnt/hd and 
/mnt/hd2. They both seem to be empty and they don't have anything to do 
with the actual partitions on my hard drives, since these are mounted as 
/mnt/win_c, /mnt/win_c2 and /mnt/win_c3. Any suggestions or do I just 
remove then in my fstab? (see below)

Best regards
Henriette

gftp is a gnome native? geez.. (luckily I didn't notice the 'g'). I didn't 
like gnome the first time I saw it, but when I began using KDE, I love gftp 
at first sight. It's very similar with w32's smartftp, simple and robust.

Hello Charlie.

Thanks for your suggestions, and sorry for the delay in replying. Things have 
been rather (no, VERY!) hectic here lately, and I haven't had time to do any 
further tests.

I have now been able to have another look at it, and the best I can do is to 
have the Configuration/KDE/components/Spell checking  set to:

Dictionary: Aspell default
Encoding:  ISO8859-15
Client:  Aspell

and the KWord spell checking set to:

Dictionary: Aspell default
Encoding:  ISO8859-15
Client: International Ispell. (If I change it to Aspell, it immediately goes 
back to Ispell). 

With these settings, I can spell check and incorrectly spelt words are 
corrected.

However! Although American spellings are marked, the dictionary ignores them. 
(So, both color and colour are accepted).

It's not perfect, but isn't too bad.

I think I will leave it at this for the time being, as I don't know what else 
to try.

If you come up with anything else, I'd like to hear about it.

Many thanks again to you and Anne.

Cheers

Keith

CD 4 is only available as an ISO to club members.
it does contain some important packages (internationalization, docs,
devel packages, kernel source etc.)

you can get the packages from ftp mirrors.

if you want you can download them all and build the 4th cd yourself (or
you could get a club membership)

urpmq --media Installation\ CD\ 4\ \(x86\) --list -f | \
awk '{print $0 ".rpm"}'

will give you a list of filenames you need to download.

[newbie] Soundblaster Audigy and MDK 10

2004-03-15 Thread Stephen Reynolds
I can't get sound from my Soundblaster Audigy sound card since I 
installed MDK 10. Anybody else have this problem and found a solution?

I'm sure others have discussed this problem on this list, but I can't 
find a searchable archive -- is there one?

Noticed the same with Winamp on some .mp3's I found on the net
somewhere, somewhen.  Thought they were corrupt and axed 'em.

I listed totem as a favorite a few minutes ago.  Never had much use
for it before it exhibited this ability yesterday. Just doesn't seem
right for a prog to exit with a segfault every time.

I've got to try this on the mdk10 box.  Haven't got it sharing files
with this one yet, though...

Actually, the mencvcd script will do all of that for you, no? ...and you should
only need to use the -tvnorm n -vfr 1 if you run the script and it bitches about
not knowing the framerate, but DVD's should have that properly encoded.

>From 'mencvcd -h'

'mencvcd crazy dvd://3 -w':
encodes and burns dvd title 3 to VCD in 16:9.


Also, IME, VCD output is rather blocky, not good quality at all. I always use
the -svcdout arg. It takes about 48 hours (and takes up 2 CD's) on this poor old
P3 for a full live-action movie, but the quality of SVCD is a lot better. I
mainly just do animated stuff for my daughter now. You'd have trouble telling
Toy Story wasn't a DVD unless you went right up to the TV screen, and that's
ripping from a DivX.

Anyhow, here are the appropriate links for all the info needed:

It's being controlled by one of the mixers.  Trouble is, it could be 
kmix, aumix or alsamixergui.  Try adjusting each to see which does 
the trick - and I'd probably do them in the reverse order from the 
one I wrote.

You can set kmail filters to use filterA OR filterB.  Just make the 
first condition the To line and second condition the CC line.

[newbie] Software Recommendations MDK 9.2

2004-03-15 Thread andrew . lundy
Hello people,

There is an abundance of software available for Linux, which is great, but I
don't have time to look through it all at the moment. So I was hoping you
could recommend me some of the best (or THE best) software for the following
things for MDK:

- Movie player.
- MP3 player. (including playlist feature)
- HTML editor / Web site construction software.
- Image creating/editing.
- FTP client.

Thanks.

The filter rules are maybe done in order, try 'moving' that CC filter rule 'up'
in the order, so that it doesn't get overridden by some other filter rule.
