[newbie] RE: /usr/sbin/pconf and /etc/hosts
Hi everyone, Sorry about this - complete newb to linux. I changed network settings trying to install a wireless network card, and another lan connection using the gui interface in KDE, now I can't access the system at all. I think the problem is that the files /usr/sbin/pconf and /etc/hosts both show http://thesite.com instead of localhost now. I can access the failsafe program and I can read these files, I can open emacs but I've no idea how to change this so I can get into the gui interface again as localhost. Hope this is specific enough, struggling!! Thanks, Darragh Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

[newbie] Forcing application to use SSH tunnel
As the subject reads, is there anyway to force an application to use an SSH tunnel if the application doesn't know how to use proxies? I'd like to be able to use some chat software from behind a firewall at work. The software doesn't allow for a proxy, and the address it needs to connect to is blocked. What I'd like to do is force the traffic through the tunnel to my machine at home and have it go out from there, but can't think of a solid workable way to do it. Currently I use PuTTY for the tunnel for internet/music streaming from my home machine. Any ideas? --Ryan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] no eth0 when I do ifconfig
Hi I recently installed Mandrakelinux on a PPC Beige G3 (Mac). When I installed it the installer detected the ethernet card and allowed me to configure it. The computer is inside a small network behind a router with a DSL connection. I gave it a static IP, entered subnet, gateway, and DNS servers. However, the computer is now invisible in the network. When it boots up I get an error about the localhost saying that the IP has been taken by another device or interface. When I do ifconfig, it only shows me the loopback interface (lo), nothing else, no eth0 at all. It's interesting to see that I get another error about USB failing. I have no USB in that machine. Can someone tell me what I need to do? I'm familiar with FreeBSD, so I'm not such a newbie. Thanks Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Recording from Satellite Radio
FYI, I'M USING GMAIL, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO CHECK THAT REPLIES ARE GOING TO THE LIST, AND NOT DIRECTLY TO ME. THANKS! Okay guys, here's what I'm trying to do. I have Sirius Satellite radio, and they're airing an interview on Friday night I want to catch. The trouble is, I'll be at work for at least another two hours after the interview starts. I could technically catch the interview at the store by tuning our store demo to the channel, and listening while I work, but that runs the risk of customers, or a coworker, changing the channel on me. I would rather just record the interview and listen to it later. I've got the boom box docking station for my receiver hooked up to my computer via the line in on my sound card, I can play the music through my computer happily, in fact I'm listening to Mellow Yellow by Donovan at the moment, on the 60s Vibrations channel via my computer speakers. So, I suppose, the long and short of it is that I need to figure out what program to use to record, and I need to figure out if there's a way to make the recording start at a specific time. If it helps any, I can make the receiver turn itself on at a specific time, so if having sound start can be used to trigger the recording, then I can work with that. I'm not too picky about the file format, though I want something that'll give me the better sound quality with the least amount of space taken. I would assume that I should be looking at recording to .ogg, but I am open to suggestions for other formats. The biggest thing is, I would like an answer by Thursday night, so that I can experiment and make sure it'll work before I am rushing out the door Friday afternoon.

Thanks much in advance for any help you guys might be able to give me! Amy Well apart from the timed start issue I would recommend rezound as being easy to use and setup. (urpmi rezound will do it as long as you have contribs defined as a source). If you have sufficient disk space, then I guess you could just start it recording before leaving home and edit out all the extraneous stuff before saving. It seems that rezound does not include command line switches to start recording and internal timers are limited to specifying the recording duration. Otherwise you can do it with sox. As that's totally comand line driven, there's no problem starting it with cron or running it in a script that sleeps until the desired start time.
