[newbie] Hello (X problems)
Before I proceed, I would like to greet averyone on this list. I am new to the list, so if I make any mistakes : a. Bare with me b. Tell me where I went wrong Here goes my problem. I've been having issues with mandrake 8.2 (tried to upgrade from 8.1), so I decided to install my freshly downloaded copy of linux Mandrake 9.0. Everything went fine up to the X-window part. Installation went smoothly and linux asked my resolution for X. I have an Eizo 19 monitor and a Kyro Hercules 4000 with 32Mb of RAM, so the system thought it would be a good idea to suggest 1240X1024 16-bit colour. When installation finished I got the above resolution which is not the best for my eyes, so I tried to tweak the res with the help of XFdrake but to no avail. I , now, lost all X-windows and the only thing I did was to change the boot resolution on /etc/lilo.conf from 1240x1024 to 800x600 (note: that's the vga= part on lilo.conf). I suspect that something went wrong there and the system will no longer launch X-windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Any given docs for XF86-4.x Looks like it's very different from previous versions of XF86 (say 3.3.6).

Re: [newbie] Hello and Keyboard Map
x-flowedI'm not sure about how to fix you keyboard problem but the clock issue is one that I had when I installed Linux-Mandrake on my PC here. For some reason, the mandrake clock ran 5 hours behind where it should have. Here are a few suggestions, check the clock from the command line type clock -r to check the CMOS clock and compare it to the clock in from your gui...kde or gnome (which ever you are using). If your gui's clock is showing the right time, you can set the CMOS clock to the same time by typing clock -w. If your CMOS time is showing the correct time but the gui is not, type clock -a and this will set the system clock in accordance with the CMOS time. I hope this helps you with your clock problems. I'm kind of a newbie as well but that is how I fixed the times between the two. /x-flowed Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] Hello
That depends a lot on whether you need the latest kernel. If you have hardware that is not supported by previous kernels/releases of mandrake you may need 8.0. I personally cannot recommend it as I have not been able to get it to work yet and I have spent the last week trying (not that I am a Linux guru - I do all my development on windoze). For example, I have a ATA100 RAID configuration for my drives which requires ATA100 support in the kernel, thus 8.0 of mandrake (or 2.4.x of the kernel). PS: Why buy an external modem?

For a newbie, there's nothing wrong (perhaps a lot right ;o) ) with running 7.x and perhaps waiting for 8.1 or 8.2 to upgrade.

If you feel you need the manuals you can either buy a boxed set of 7.2 now or wait for a boxed set of 8.0 when it is released. The alternative if you want some fun and possibly learn more in the process is to get the GPL (download) version of 8.0 from someone such as cheapbytes, install it and find your own way round it, search the newbie archives for subjects you want to know about and ask questions here. The choice really is yours, you know how knowledgeable/adventurous you are and how soon you want it. Have a look through the newbie archives as well for posts about any problems with hardware you may have i.e. sound/graphics cards, printers etc, that way you will have the answer before the question arises. As to choice of modem *nearly all * external modems work (but not USB as I understand it) , a lot of internal modems either don't work or need to be made to work, so an external modem would be the easiest option - just make sure that it is a 100% hardware modem, (I think the other term is Hayes compatible but I'm not sure, so wait until someone flames me for bad advice if I'm wrong here :-)) Michelle

Re: [newbie] hello
Well adam, to edit you program, there are many text editors you can use, me personally prefers the Midnight Commander editor, since it supports C\C++ syntax, in order to edit with this editor, you should first create an empty file(Use 'touch file_name.c'. or 'touch file_name.cpp' for C++), then launch the Midnight Commander(type 'mc'), then choose your empty file and press F4. To compile your file, use 'gcc -g(for debuging) -o output_file_name source_filename', to compile C programs, or 'g++ -g(for debuging) -o output_file_name source_filename', to comple C++ programs.

Hi -- One of the best ways to learn to program in C is to get a good book. I would strongly recommend Stephen Kochan's book. The title is something like "Programming in C, second edition". It's a paperback, green cover, with a black diamond on the front cover. It's well written and will teach you C.

Re: [newbie] Hello
Hello list, I think I'm the newist (?) newbie on the list. I signed up yesterday, before I upgraded from RH 5.2 to Mandrake 7. Andrew Scotchmer wrote: Though I would like some things to be made easier, most of which have been mentioned in the Discussion thread, I do feel that to make it too user friendly would rob Linux of it's unique position and it's marvels. Heck, if it becomes to user friendly with everything done without a thourght being required from the user, why don't we just all jack it in and reinstall Windoze What do you all think out there??? I'm not familiar with the history of this thread, but after wrestling with an other linux install/config for nine months, I found the upgrade to Mandrake to be a breeze, even if I did lose my mouse functionality in the process. And while reconfiguring the mouse, I lost my keyboard too! Somehow, Mandrake fixed things, after I told Lilo to boot my "old_linux." What other OS. could manage to do that!? I've accomplished more in 24 hours with Mandrake, than I have in a month with my old Linux, let alone some other type of OS. Linux may not be user friendly, at first, but the bug fixes are free, and you don't have to wait a year + for the fixes to be rolled out. Almost Microsoft free. Darryl

Re: [[newbie] hello! I got a problem with MD-7 (air)]
A couple of things it might be. Check all your connections to CD also. 1)ATAPI CD that is not recognised. I had a Delta 44X that would NOT work...I toss in my Toshiba 32X...BINGO..:) 2) Bad ISO d/l...therefore bad CD burn -re d/l try again 3) bad CD burn - re d/l try again...probably with 7.0 release 2 4) Spend $1.99 at a Linux site and get a pro copy of 7.0 HTH Jaguar "David Schur" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am just trying to install a new version of it, and it is asking for a CDROM drive.

[newbie] Hello!!!
Hello everybody!!! What 's going on? First of all sorry for my horrible English.I'm a new linux user from Spain,and I'm having a lot of problems in order to install Linux programs. How can I install "tar" files? I'm trying to install Gnome Chess,which contains a file called "gnome -chess-0.2.2.tar"
Re: [newbie] Hello!!!
1) tar xvf gnome-chess-0.2.2.tar which should create a directory, more than likely gnome-chess-0.2.2 or gnome-chess 2) cd to the newly created directory 3) look for some docs like README or INSTALL 4) read the docs and hopefully it will inform you how to install the gnome-chess-0.2.2 Regards, Ron On Sun, 30Jan 2000, root wrote: Hello everybody!!!

How can I install "tar" files? I'm trying to install Gnome Chess,which contains a file called "gnome -chess-0.2.2.tar" A "tar" file is a file that is made from multiple files and is "balled" together to make it easier to distribute. You must use the tar utility to "un-ball" this file into its original files. i.e. tar xfv [filename] should do the trick. If you see a file with the extension tar.gz or tar.Z then not only is the file balled together but it is compressed. In this case tar xfzv [filename] will decompress the file and "un-ball" it. After doing this you will probably be left with the source code for the Gnome Chess. I'm not sure. I haven't looked. If you are, then look for instructions in a readme file. Usually the procedure is to change into the directory created and issue a ./configure and if that goes ok then issue a make and then a make install. However, read the instructions because this may vary. Regards

RE: [newbie] Hello
Hi Bryan, After reading the news postings at work today on the web, I did a quick reinstall of Mandrake selecting the security setting of 0. (Previously I picked 4- HIGH). Everything was immediately working. I think for us newbies, the Mandrake folks need to put out some detailed documentation on just what each of the security levels 0-5 means. I looked for that everywhere and couldn't find it. Thanks for the suggestion!!

Try 'man telnet' for the client side, or 'man telnetd' for the server side information.

[newbie] Hello- Installation Question
Hi there. Last night I tried to install Mandrake on a clean hard drive, 13 gigs, I got to select packages, after selecting the packages I wanted to install, I continued the installation process. It seemed to be loading the packages fine, but it was taking forever so I left it to finish the installation of the packages and I figured when I got up this morning I could finish the installation by configuring the rest of L-M. Well, when I got up the machine had frozen, it seems, in the middle of the package installation. It asked for me to press any button to continue, I did,and it rebooted and began the installation process from the beginning again Has this happened to anyone else? And, if so, what did you do to correctly install it?

And there were more than enough indications that there was a problem with the list server. Its pretty apparent that they lost the database, reinstalled an old one, which is why at first folks that had unsubscribed were suddenly resubscribed. They couldnt fix that and just re-initialized the database, which simply meant that everyone who HAD been subscribed would have to resubscribe...which is what is happening in dribs and drabs.

So you have a problem with checking the archives? Sometimes it is easy to answer a question that is asked 20 times a week. But some questions involve more than one or two sentences. Which is why folks are told to check the archive for their answer first. Simply much easier than the same folks having to answer the same questions over and over and over, wouldnt you say?

Recently though being busy with work I have not been able to read my email as often as I would like and have fallen woefully behind. I do have a problem that I was hoping somebody out there might have a fix for or a good suggestion of where to begin my troubleshooting. I did post a note about a problem I was having with kde logging me out right as I tried to execute any type of command. All I did was double click or select a program from the menu and I was kicked right out to the X login prompt. Before this occurred I did some downloading of some rpms and made some desktop changes. I added a theme to my desktop and then my troubles began (I think). I've had the same problem with a KDE theme. I don't recall which theme caused it, else I'd report it. The way to fix this problem is to remove the .kde directory in your home directory: rm -r ~/.kde Restarting KDE should now work and you should be able to run whatever you like.

Re: [newbie] Hello?
James, I've installed Mandrake, RH, SuSE, and Caldera on a Compaq Armada 7400 docked or undocked without any problem. Compaq uses cable select on all their drives so you don't have to worry about master/slave jumpers. Does your laptop use cable select or jumpers. Are the two drives hda and hdb identical? The diag dump shows they are the same model but hdb is not reporting a serial number. If you have two drives on the same cable and they are both jumpered as master then you could possible be getting responses from the first drive(hda) when the ATA ID command is sent to the second drive(hdb). What are the three IDE devices connected to your system? Or are there only two as your message below suggests? scottw On 14-Aug-99 James Schofield wrote: Ok, this is one of the problems.. I am trying to install Linux on a Laptop/docking station combo. I have the laptop with an internal IDE drive and with the port connection to the docking station I can have another IDE drive in the docking station giving me 2 drives on the system. BUT Linux does not detect it correctly. This is an output from OPEN LINUX system analyser. I have used this because Mandrake does not have anything like this I that I have found.
