Once you have the disk mounted (assuming that the disk is not mounted in your example output above) you would need to provide more info as to what sort of data is on there (I have never used MacOS). HTH David. OK, that doesn't seem right ay, but .. hmm, what was the permissions for the macos before you changed it? If you used to be able to read, write and execute on it then, the owner root, should have rwx, and r-x for the group members .. atleast to view it right, which is why you were trying 755 .. and as root, chmod 755 /mnt/macos .. didnt work ?

[newbie] 2 Questions regarding evolution
Hi all, I do have two questions regarding the evolution 2.0.3 and I haven't found an answer on the mailinglist or faqs yet. 1. Kmail has the option to set up various smtp settings independently for the mail accounts. Pmail (Pegasus) offers the same option but in evolution I have to change the smtp settings each time when I use a different internet connection. Is the any possibility to install a number of different smtp servers? 2. Forwarding emails including attachement? Haven't found the option to turn this on. It's annoying to save each time the attachements when I have to forward an email including them. Thanks for the help, Alex Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

As long as you have not created new partitions, chances are good that it will find the correct partition start and size. Once you create new partitions, you give it more possibilities. You also run the risk that the new partitions will overlap what you are trying to save. Then you wipe out some of the information needed to recover the partition when you format. Now, if you want to make recovery easy in case you ever do this again, you can also write a copy of the partition table to a floppy, and restore it from floppy if the table ever gets damaged. The tools to do it are on the CD. It is a must for any geek's tool box. Mikkel, last year I had a cpu fan fail that caused problems with my hdds. After my struggle to recover data I started a TWiki page on DataRecovery. Unfortunately, and ironically, this is the only page that I am aware of that was not recovered when the TWiki was lost - and I had not saved a copy of the file. I tried to do it again from memory, but it is sketchy at best, and of course only deals with the problems I had. Could you spare time to do an addition about using these tools? I think it would be invaluable. Anne Ok - I will add it to my ToDo list. I guess I had better do it in OO first, so it can check my spelling!

[newbie] Problems starting M10.1 - it freezes
Hello all. Yesterday, after a long week, I received from France my Mandrake 10.1 Powerpack copy. Finally I can upgrade from my old Red Hat 9 copy! Anyway, although it was rather late and I was sleeping, I decided to install Mandrake. Finally, after a long wait, it ended. The installer told me to restart the machine, so I did. It loaded all Linux, and led me to a blue screen with the Mandrake logo. After that, it didn't happen anythig. It actually does not freezes, because I can move my mouse, and if I press the shut down button of my laptop, it sends the kill all signal and finishes the system correctly. Moreover, if I press Ctl+Alt+Backspace it restarts the machine. However, I never get to the logon screen. Perhaps I missed up something while installing (as I said, I was sleeping and maybe I didn't follow one step). Tonight I will install it again, but I'd like to know any ideas on this subject. Thanks for your help, Fernando Gomez. P.S. My machine: Laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro (¿7000?) HD 40GB RAM 704 MB (512+192) Proc. Intel Pentium IV 3 GHz 3 USB 2.0 ports Ethernet LAN Atheros Wireless Card SuperG - this is all I can remember now. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

It actually does not freezes, because I can move my mouse, and if I press the shut down button of my laptop, it sends the kill all signal and finishes the system correctly. Moreover, if I press Ctl+Alt+Backspace it restarts the machine. However, I never get to the logon screen. ... Is that the blue screen where it says something like Press Esc for details above a progress bar? If so, press Esc when it first comes up, and it will show you details of the boot process, so you can see exactly where it is hanging. I recently built my own pc, with a Soyo SY-KT600 DRAGON Plus v.2.0 motherboard, and had similar problems. First it was hanging on the Checking for new hardware step. Never did determine exactly why, but I just booted into failsafe, and did a: chkconfig --del harddrake to disable the new hardware check. This check is unnecessary for 99 out of 100 boots anyway, and you can shave a few seconds off your boot time by disabling it. If you ever need it, you can always do a chkconfig --add harddrake to re-enable it. Then it hung again, this time trying to bring up my Ethernet. Turned out that that the built-in nic, a Via VT6102 [Rhine II 10/100], is one of those obscure ones that requires the following line to be added to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no (Nice double negative there!) I couldn't find any info on what exactly this means or why having the default of yes causes a hang, but it's been reported in the past with certain other nics. Again, I booted into failsafe, and used vi (a horribly primitive, ugly and painful editor, often referred to as the evil editor, but an essential command line survival tool) to edit the file. After that, it booted fine. So try to see what is causing the hang, then try a failsafe boot and see if you can fix it. Also, if it boots in failsafe, you can try the command: telinit 3 This will put it into multi-user mode, but command line only, no X. If it is the graphical configuration that's causing the hang, as Anne suspects, then this will work fine. If this fails, it's hanging on something else. And BTW, a telinit 5 will take you into regular GUI mode. HTH -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine. As you know, necessity is the mother of invention.

[newbie] renice command
I'm still trying to remove the 'skip' in XMMS when getting streaming audio.

In the snip from man renice, it mentions PRIO_MAX. What would that setting be? Or is -20 the max renice setting? The super-user may alter the priority of any process and set the priority to any value in the range PRIO_MIN (-20) to PRIO_MAX. Useful priorities are: 20 (the affected processes will run only when nothing else in the system wants to), 0 (the ``base'' scheduling priority), any- thing negative (to make things go very fast). -- Chris Registered Linux User 283774 http://counter.li.org 19:40:10 up 28 days, 2:16, 1 user, load average: 1.38, 0.95, 0.71 Mandrake Linux 10.1 Official, kernel 2.6.8.1-12mdk Why did the Lord give us so much quickness of movement unless it was to avoid responsibility with?

[newbie] Life............
A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, how heavy is this glass of water? Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. He continued, And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on. As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden. So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. Relax; pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy it! And then he shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life: Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue. Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it. Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker. If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. Never buy a car you can't push. Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late. The second mouse gets the cheese. When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live. You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person. Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once. We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colours, but they all have to live in the same box. A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Re: [newbie] SM56 Motorola - modem problem

Maybe different enough to cause problems | hooking the code to the newer kernel. In the first instance I would | email Motorola with your OS details and kernel version and ask them | nicely for a newer version. Exactly my thoughts. I've had this problem with the Lucent chip modems with kernel 2.6.x. The versions must match exactly (as well as the gcc version that the kernel and driver are compiled against). If you can afford an external SERIAL modem get one, because every time the kernel changes the Winmodem driver must be changed also. It is truly a PITA.

[newbie] Amarok, Audacity and streamtuner
Hello newbie, I'm trying to get some sound up on a box recently updated to 10.1. Using Amarok to play an mp3 file results in severely distorted sound, but xmms and Audacity seem to do OK. If I try to use another 'engine' in Audacity it crashes. Tried adjusting levels everywhere, but can't get good sound in Audacity. Any way to get rid of the distortion in Amarok? Also tried streamtuner - very nice. When I try to run Audacity after streamtuner, it tells me a copy of Audacity is already running (although I may have left a copy running somewhere). I can't seem to access it though. How can I do that? -- Thanks, rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
