RE: [newbie] Re:Setting up Scanssh
Here's the weird thing - I've done a stock install of MDK 9 and I've gotten the missing gcc error before too! I know I've compiled stuff before with gcc, but certain programs (configure scripts) just refuse to see it. Is there any tidbit of wisdom that could point me and this fellow in the right direction?

[newbie] Sound "issues"
Hey all, just got my Linux 9 distro installed on this WinXP dual-boot box. I have to say, the sound in WinXP whoops the sound I get in Linux. What can I do to fix that? Also, I have a few other miscellanious questions for the list: 1. What's a good "file manager" type application? Nautilus plain sucks. 2. What do you all use for burning data CD's? XCD Roast is only for audio copying as far as I can tell? 3. -GRIPE- My Radeon 7500 AIW doesn't work for TV-in or anything, how disappointing :( Anyone have a way of "making it work"? ralph Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

That is not where your gtk.h file is located. So, if possible you need to determine whether whatever you are compiling is hoping to use gtk 1.2 or gtk 2.0. Then when you find out, you can make a temporary link in /usr/include to satisfy this make file. ln -s /usr/include/gtk-1.2/gtk /usr/include/gtk -or- ln -s /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk /usr/include/gtk I'd probably delete the link once you successfully compile this.

RE: [newbie] Windblows
I've converted my laptop to Mandrake 9 now, but still find it mandatory to use my old WInXP partition (although I hate it more every day) only because I am so heavily dependant on Outlook (MAPI messaging/scheduling/groupware), and things like the CheckPoint mgnt console, other security-object management consoles which are built for Winblows, etc. At home I'm still using XP because I like my ATI Radeon 7500+remote card and haven't been able to find a place on the web that describes how to get that working well...and ATI sure doesn't support LINUX too well, heh. I'm hoping that the tide starts to turn even faster so that my Inspiron 8100 can be converted entirely to LINUX from my pathetically unstable WinXP platform. If anyone can recommend some good software to reduce my dependance on Outlook, Visio, etc, PLEASE DO SO, I'm open to suggestions. I'm in one of those positions to recommend...we have a couple fortune 10 clients at work...one of them is quite dependant on us for their security as well as other intiativesI only regret that this is the best place I've found for LINUX support.there aren't very many "active" message boardssure mandrake-user.org has posts but...you get one reply every, what, week?

[newbie] Checking MS-Exchange (MAPI) email in Linux?
Hey wizards, Thought I'd post this one. I just got my nVIDIA working and smokin' last night, and now I'm sitting at the office forced to boot into my WInXP partition because I need Outlook for messaging/calendar/group-ware type of activity. I found an "Exchange connector" for Evolution email client - but that's a $69 product! There HAS to be someone open-source which won't cost me $70 bux to hook into Exchange with my Linux build?

Got it - so...can you convert to a different filesystem (I'm apparently using ext3) without losing everything, ie reformatting?

It's a fairly subjective choice with lots of strongly held opinions. I use a number of different file systems on a number of distributions. RH7.3: ext2 for boot and ext3 for everything else. Never any problems can convert ext2 to ext3 (which is a journaling fs) non-destructively. My subjective impression is that it's slower than the two other journaling sytems I describe below. Mandrake 8.2: Reiser and ext2. I did have a filecorruption problem a long time ago with the reiser fs but it was fixed without any lost data by reiserfsck. Gentoo 1.2: ext2 (for boot) and XFS. Gentoo is very negative about Reiser and offers kernel source optimized for XFS. So I went that route. No problems to date (about 2 months for my main system). Seems about as quick as Reiser. The problem is that RH 7.3 doesn't support XFS and so I can't mount my XFS partitions under RH (but I can mount RH under gentoo which is generally how I'm running). YMMV.

[newbie] Mandrake 9 in "high security" mode...tearing my hair out!
Hey all, I must be more of a noob than I thought. Apparently, I expected to install with "high security" mode, and have a semi-functioning system which I can at a later date "open up" as needed, right? Apparently I'm either doing something wrong, or something's not working. I've got VNC and SSH running on the box. SSH starts with the system now so it uses the hosts.allow --> "SSH :ALL". I'm extremely fuzzy about how this file works in relation to the grand scheme of things...when the hosts.allow/hosts.deny files are read, for which purposes/daemons, etc? I CAN connect via SSH, no problem, but I obviously can't do a "VNC :ALL" on that box since it doesn't know "vnc" is a service...so I figured, OK, it's a firewalling issue. I researched some basics on this shorewall firewall, and here's the "Default + my mods" I've got. Chain INPUT (policy DROP) target prot opt source destination LOGtcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp spts:1024:65535 dpt:5093 LOG level warning ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp spts:1024:65535 dpt:5093 ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp spts:1024:65535 dpt:ssh .. .. .. Obviously, with this in place I thought I should SURELY make VNC's port 5903 open to the general publicwrong! I still get myself dropped, according to the syslog, but here's a snip.
