Spamc is just a wrapper for spamd, so spamd has to be up and running. But if you want real email filtering you really need to be running spamassassin with more than just the basic rules. That caused me to fetchmail/maildrop/spamassassin/razor/pyzor all my mail before kmail picks it up all marked locally, and its not a hard configuration. The checking of each email with this setup is about 1 to 2 seconds each with my XP-2100, so the hit on Kmail would be serious.

[newbie] Help Compiling C++ with Emacs
Alright this may be a little off topic for the list, but i'm sure some of you use Emacs and might be able to help me out. I've installed emacs on both, my Mac and for my Windows system, which i intend to use for c++. I have Emacs on both machines working fine but when i go to compile one of my c++ programs, on either, i get an error back in the compilation window saying g++ is not a command. This is the "error" exactly: g++ -o total sum1.cpp /bin/bash: line 1: g++: command not found Compilation exited abnormally with code 127 at Fri Feb 25 18:45:40 Now i understand Emacs is the text editor and so it seem obvious that i don't have the G++ compiler installed. This is my deduction at least. But, because i'm not totaly sure i figured i would bother you guys on how i would go about fixing this problem without having to fumble around on the internet looking for a solution. If a simple download is all that's needed just send me a link. I've looked myself, although not too hard, and i couldn't find anything worthy of what i thought i was looking for.

[newbie] printer - yext not printing as preview shows
Hi I posted this question a few days ago and someone replied - Anne I think. Unfortunately I had email problems and lost a whole lot of information. Printing emails or webpages in linux - text is jammed up, with some text covering other words, lines incomplete even when preview shows correctly. If I copy and paste to Open Office it prints fine - but that's a pain to do of course. I think the solution was to do with lp or something. I am new to linux - so need simple instructions thanks.

So, what is the real thing under the hood? Conectiva is part of United Linux! So... Is Mandrake buying the Conectiva asset (which is considerable) or United Linux?

Oh, by the way, Conectiva was bought from the original founders (Arnaldo C. de Melo, aka ACME was one of them) by a financial corporation based in Europe (bank?) years ago.

Now computer2 which uses the same wireless adapter than computer1 (SMC2662W) has Internet and works just fine. Neither machine lists the adapter in Hardwaredrake. They probably do with usbview. The protocol in the machine where the adapter works is wlan(0). If I go to Mandrake Control Centre (Configure your Computer) and I select "Manage Connections" it doesn't give the driver the connection is using, so, I cannot know what to try in the computer1. I know (If I am mistaken please correct me) that this device is an Orinoco device. Well, none of the Orinoco drivers work in computer1. Yes, I've had the same experience. I have a a USB wireless adapter that uses prism_usb, but I cannot set up the driver manually using it. I doubt it's a driver problem, though. To end, the adapter SMC2662W is an USB adapter, and I am using Mandrake 10.1. Ah. I hid a similar problem. I installed a wireless USB NIC on a machine, then had to reinstall 10.1 after a nasty power outage. After the re-install, I had a very tough time getting it to configure. What I ended up doing was using Mandrake Control Center to set it up as a LAN connection (not WLAN!). It spotted the USB NIC fine. Then to get it working on my network, I used a small app called wlanfe which allows you to configure the wireless connection. That got it completely working. Then, once it was working, active connection, I went back to mcc, added a real wlan connection, and mcc found it just fine. I can't remember if I set up the wireless stuff at that point or had to go to manage connections after that. But that was the basic procedure: add it as a lan connection, get the connection actually working with wlanfe, then re-add the connection as a wlan connection, and optionally configure it with Manage Connections if need be. Thanks a lot for your feedback, Miark. I got me the Wlanfe little program and I proceeded to follow your example, but I simply do not have an idea of how to configure the wireless nick as a lan nic. When I am in the MCC I get, for lan, the choice of configuring my Ethernet card and configure manually. I have tried to avoid configuring the Ethernet card because it is completely identified as an Ethernet card and I do not see the way to end with a Wlan device instead. Well, then I go to "manual" configuration and it is the same story as for trying for the wireless nic instead. No driver works at all and the Wlanfe simply remains idle. Is there any way you can help me by describing with more detail what you did? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Teilhard Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I'll assume you are trying to have a proper SMTP server as opposed to collecting mail via something like fetchmail. If that is true then I'd suggest looking at the following in main.cf The entry that controls what mail to receive is something like mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain So lets say your domain name is foo.co.uk and your mailserver name is scooby.foo.co.uk then the above line would receive mail for $myhostname - scooby.foo.co.uk localhost.$mydomain - localhost.foo.co.uk $mydomain - foo.co.uk Another line to look for is inet_interfaces If this is missing then it will receive mail on all interfaces but if you have a line like inet_interfaces = $mydomain then postfix will reject any mail that arrives from outside your local network. If these hints are of no use to you I'll need more info on your setup or you could look at http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html which gives good examples of various configurations eg. standalone machine, local network etc. Also have you tried useing the drakconf wizard. If you type "wizard" into the "install software" section of mandrake control center you will be presented with the option of installing drakwizard. When you restart MCC a new option "server wizards" will be available. Selecting "configure mail" will activate a setup wizard that is pretty good at configuring most basic setups. I've just realised that I'm assumeing you have a static IP address, if you don't I can't help any further as I have no experience of dynamic addresses. Cheers Nigel If the mail logs and the firewall logs don't show any messages about incomming messages, then one more thing to check is if your ISP is blocking or re-routing incomming port 25 connections. It is getting to be more common that ISPs that do not allow you to run servers are blocking port 25 and port 80 incomming connections.

If that is true then I'd suggest looking at the following in main.cf The entry that controls what mail to receive is something like mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain So lets say your domain name is foo.co.uk and your mailserver name is scooby.foo.co.uk then the above line would receive mail for $myhostname - scooby.foo.co.uk localhost.$mydomain - localhost.foo.co.uk $mydomain - foo.co.uk Another line to look for is inet_interfaces If this is missing then it will receive mail on all interfaces but if you have a line like inet_interfaces = $mydomain then postfix will reject any mail that arrives from outside your local network. If these hints are of no use to you I'll need more info on your setup or you could look at http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html which gives good examples of various configurations eg. standalone machine, local network etc. Also have you tried useing the drakconf wizard. If you type "wizard" into the "install software" section of mandrake control center you will be presented with the option of installing drakwizard. When you restart MCC a new option "server wizards" will be available. Selecting "configure mail" will activate a setup wizard that is pretty good at configuring most basic setups. I've just realised that I'm assumeing you have a static IP address, if you don't I can't help any further as I have no experience of dynamic addresses.

The log files in /etc/log/mail can be very informative. And are you sure your ISP does not block port 25? BTW You only need port 110 open if you want to read your mail via POP3 while travelling. If you do not need that, then close the port. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] accessing windows shared drives
I have recently aquired a pc and have installed Mandrake 10.1. I want to keep my old XP box on the network and use the drives. Within XP I set the drives to be shared. How would I access them through the linux box. One drive is fat32 and the other is NTFS. Having the ntfs drive read-only is acceptable. Thanks.

Re: [newbie] Quick question
Mikkel L. Ellertson wrote: nonfb translates into booting without using the frame buffer. Basicly, writing to the screen like DOS does, instead of directly into video memory. (Simplifed explination.) This does not affect the GUI mode, only the command line mode. Using the frame buffer, you can do interesting things like have a background image with your CLI. (Distracting when running VMS-Empire!) I have just installed 10.1 on a client's Celeron with P4 motherboard machine and the installation automatically installed the frame buffer inclusive kernel as a default (linux). I found that I could not get a higher graphical resolution than 800x600 at 16 bits. When I changed the default kernel to "linux-nonfb", I found that I could see the graphics card properly and was able to set the screen resolution to 1024x768 at 32 bits. (I can't remember what graphics chip it was using, off hand). I also had to specify "noapic" as a boot parameter. On my own server, when it was still running Mandrake 9.1, I used to have to use the non-fb option for it to work properly. Now I am using the default fb 2.6.10 (cooker) kernel on a fairly standard 10.1 installation and I can use the frame-buffer. All I can say is that the frame-buffer version is not always the best option. cheers Duncan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Now computer2 which uses the same wireless adapter than computer1 (SMC2662W) has Internet and works just fine. Neither machine lists the adapter in Hardwaredrake. They probably do with usbview. The protocol in the machine where the adapter works is wlan(0). If I go to Mandrake Control Centre (Configure your Computer) and I select "Manage Connections" it doesn't give the driver the connection is using, so, I cannot know what to try in the computer1. I know (If I am mistaken please correct me) that this device is an Orinoco device. Well, none of the Orinoco drivers work in computer1. Yes, I've had the same experience. I have a a USB wireless adapter that uses prism_usb, but I cannot set up the driver manually using it. I doubt it's a driver problem, though. To end, the adapter SMC2662W is an USB adapter, and I am using Mandrake 10.1. Ah. I hid a similar problem. I installed a wireless USB NIC on a machine, then had to reinstall 10.1 after a nasty power outage. After the re-install, I had a very tough time getting it to configure. What I ended up doing was using Mandrake Control Center to set it up as a LAN connection (not WLAN!). It spotted the USB NIC fine. Then to get it working on my network, I used a small app called wlanfe which allows you to configure the wireless connection. That got it completely working. Then, once it was working, active connection, I went back to mcc, added a real wlan connection, and mcc found it just fine. I can't remember if I set up the wireless stuff at that point or had to go to manage connections after that. But that was the basic procedure: add it as a lan connection, get the connection actually working with wlanfe, then re-add the connection as a wlan connection, and optionally configure it with Manage Connections if need be. Thanks a lot for your feedback, Miark. I got me the Wlanfe little program and I proceeded to follow your example, but I simply do not have an idea of how to configure the wireless nick as a lan nic. When I am in the MCC I get, for lan, the choice of configuring my Ethernet card and configure manually. I have tried to avoid configuring the Ethernet card because it is completely identified as an Ethernet card and I do not see the way to end with a Wlan device instead. Well, then I go to "manual" configuration and it is the same story as for trying for the wireless nic instead. No driver works at all and the Wlanfe simply remains idle. Is there any way you can help me by describing with more detail what you did? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Teilhard Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Quick question
Thanks. To all those who replied to this thread. Sometimes Mandrake amazes me. I never imagined it had support for hyperthreading. I thought that it was going to treat my processor as a single processor as in the recent past. If I just could solve the Internet problem I would migrate to Mandrake right away. Teilhard.
