[newbie-it] compliazione kernel
Ho installato da poco Mandrake7.0. Poichè nel kernel 2.2.14 fornito non è compreso il supporto per il processore Athlon, ho tentato di compilare il kernel 2.3.48. Dopo averlo configurato con 'make xconfig', ho dato i comandi: 'make dep', 'make clean', 'make bzImage'. Tuttavia, dopo poco la compilazione si è interrotta. Questi sono gli ultimi messaggi del programma: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h: At top level: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h:491: `prof_buffer' used prior to declaration /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h:492: `prof_len' used prior to declaration /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h:493: `prof_shift' used prior to declarationmake: *** [init/main.o] Error 1 Ho tentato anche con il precedente kernel-2.3.47, ma è stato inutile. Come posso fare? Grazie mille, Davide

No. In kppp is a check box asking if you want to configure your hostname from their server. You have this checked. It logs in, changes the name of your system, and you no longer have permission to do anything in X. Un check the box.

[newbie] problems with netscape crashing when address book used
Can anyone please help Every time I use my address book or even try to access it causes a shut down of communicator which is very annoying . I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the netscape files but somewhere the system is remembering the address book and i dont know which file to delete. I think the problem arose after importing an address book from windows netscape 4.6 and also a similar one from linux mandrake 6.0 this produced some duplicate entries which was okay at first but when i tried to delete some of the extra entries they wouldnt go. or they would only go if the lower of several entries was deleted and then the next one up. I also could only delete two or three entries before it stopped deleting and I had to close the address book before recommencing . I am happy to ditch this corrupted address book but dont know wher to go from here . Thankyou in advance.

Run 'FDISK', nothing will be done before you give the command 'w' in fdisk ! and you can keep away at any time. So, keep in mind that the linux boot must be below the 1024st cylinder ! You can divide your HD in 4 primary partitions: 1. Linux native or dos (add a swap partition to linux) 2. dos or linux 3. dos 4. dos After that you can setup the 'logical' partitions. Type 'm' in FDISK for the menu. Type 'p' to print what about your HD. etc For dos there is no more need for more than 1 primary partition. In linux there must be at least 1 primary and 1 swap partition. Give linux at least 4-6 G (depends what you install) If you don't trust 'fdisk', run 'FIPS'. Try it out.

Re: [newbie] 3Com 905b Ethernet cards
Guys, I've been having the same problem. I used Lothar and netconf too. But your posts gave me the missing link (for my situation at least). There wasn't a module specifically for the 3c90x for the kernel I'm running (and I would guess you too), but there is one for the 3c59x; I just didn't know to use it for my 3c90x. Try this fro the command line: insmod 3c59x ifconfig ether0 172.16.20.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 172.16.20.255 You can replace the IP info with your own. After that you should be able to ping other devices on the configured subnet. My only issue now is that I've got to do these two steps every time I reboot. I'm not sure netconf is doing anything for me. Now I'm going to look up in one of my books how to make those command stick.

Re: [newbie] Problem with X (blank screen).
Hi. First of all, run startx 2 x.out and afterwards take a look at x.out: vi x.out (or emacs x.out) I tried this and got the following three lines: localhost being added to access control list kpanel: waiting for windowmanager kpanel: ok, commencing initialization Not the most informative ;-) When I installed the "can you see me" test screen worked fine... and see what it says. It may be you need to configure your XF86Config file in some way, or... or it may be something else entirely. I couldn't see anything obviously wrong in XF86Config, although as a newbie that probably doesn't count for much... The system itself installs fine, but I can't get X to work. During the setup (and later using Xconfigurator) the test works fine, but when I try to run X for real I get a blank screen a few seconds after the blue background appears. If I Ctrl-Alt-BS out, linux is still running (I can type 'reboot' and the system obliges) but I still have a blank screen (Alt-F(n) does not help). Austin Denyer.

The book: Unix System V Release 4: An Introduction (second edition) by K.H. Rosen, R.R. Rosinski, J. M. Farber, D. A.

Well the kfm browser in KDE can be used to a point, although it does not have java or frames, it is useable for text and simple graphics. see http://www.kde.org Netscape for Linux has its ups and downs, and requires a very fast machine with alot of memory minimum 64Megabytes, and can crash alot. http://www.netscape.com Mozilla (an offshoot from Netscape?) is still a toddler and needs much work but from what I have experienced is coming right along and looks like it will be stable someday. http://www.mozilla.org Opera I dont know much about except that its still a baby and not really ready for use. lynx is for text browsing only, when you don't care about the graphics and such, if you just want to view text information.

Hello Mine is working fine. There is a package by a brazilain guy that correct this problem. He made a special version for me so that all commands don't get translate to Portuguese.

Re: [newbie] Questions
Wine is like a software adaptor between the linux system and a windows application so that the windows app can properly run on a linux filesystem, but it is not finished yet and does not always work, the command would be for example--- wine windowsappname.exe so you put the wine in front of the windows app name when you try to run it, oh and this has to be done at commandline, click on the little black box looking thing at the bottom of your screen there should be a panel, this is more often referred to as the K-Panel. To enter your settings into K-Mail, first click on File which is located at the upper right corner of your main K-mail window. Afterwhich click on Settings which should pop up a window that says settings at the top. Then click on the Network tab at the top. then almost down to the bottom there is a rectangle Add button click this once and another little square should pop up that says Select Account. Click in the Pop3 hole and make a dot in it by clicking in there, then click the rectangular OK button. Afterwhich another window that says Configure Account should pop up and it should give you the spaces in which to enter the Name of the account such as your ISP or what ever you want to call it, your login name to your isp's e mail (your email box) your Password for it, The Host, and this is they key thing that your looking for, say the name of your isp is www.internet.com lets put pop.internet.com in where host is, that is if thats the name of your isp, which I don't know, but you will get the idea. leave the Port space alone unless your isp tells you that they use another Port other than 110 then click the little tiny boxes to put a tick (check) mark in the ones you want to use like Store POP password in config file, this is if you dont want to keep typing in your password every time you check your e mail. then usually leave the delete mail from server checked unless you want alot of mail to build up on your isp's mail server. Then click the rectangle OK, and click the last rectangle OK and you should be all set up. As for text mode, you need to either do a control+alt+F1 for full text screen mode, or click the little black box on your K-panel for a virtual terminal, if you want Linux to always boot into text mode, you need to locate a file called inittab under the directory /etc the contents of this file in /etc/inittab look something like this: # # inittab This file describes how the INIT process should set up # the system in a certain run-level. # # Author: Miquel van Smoorenburg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] # Modified for RHS Linux by Marc Ewing and Donnie Barnes # # Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are: # 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this) # 1 - Single user mode # 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking) # 3 - Full multiuser mode # 4 - unused # 5 - X11 # 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this) # id:5:initdefault: # System initialization. si::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit l0:0:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 0 l1:1:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 1 l2:2:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 2 l3:3:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 3 l4:4:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 4 l5:5:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 5 l6:6:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 6 # Things to run in every runlevel. ud::once:/sbin/update # Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETE ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now # When our UPS tells us power has failed, assume we have a few minutes # of power left.

Re: [newbie] problems with netscape crashing when address book used
Delete your /home/your_usr_name/.netscape directory and you're problems should clear up. You'll loose all your bookmarks and everything, but it will clear out your address book. And then Netscaep will create a new ".netscape" once your run it again. Or actually, if you want to save your bookmarks, you could try to make a backup of your "bookmarks.html" file located in .netscape, and then after after you delete .netscape/ and Netscape creates a new one, copy your old bookmarks.html ontop of the new bookmarks.html. Can anyone please help Every time I use my address book or even try to access it causes a shut down of communicator which is very annoying . I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the netscape files but somewhere the system is remembering the address book and i dont know which file to delete. I think the problem arose after importing an address book from windows netscape 4.6 and also a similar one from linux mandrake 6.0 this produced some duplicate entries which was okay at first but when i tried to delete some of the extra entries they wouldnt go. or they would only go if the lower of several entries was deleted and then the next one up. I also could only delete two or three entries before it stopped deleting and I had to close the address book before recommencing . I am happy to ditch this corrupted address book but dont know wher to go from here . Thankyou in advance.

Re: [newbie] gcc not working
Looks like you dont' have all the libraries installed. Go to /usr/include and
see if stdio.h is there. If it's not, then you'll need to download an RPM of
whatever header files you need, like
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/mandrake/cooker/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS/glibc-devel-2.1.3-2mdk.i586.html
for stdio.h.
But from what it sounds like, this is a newly installed system so to save you
the headache of later compiles, you may want to consider reinstalling and this
time select all the packages that have ANYTHING to do with programming and/or
libraries.
Hmm, reading through the installation procedure of Mandrake 7, looks like the
installation that you do ("recommended") doesn't let you choose what packages
you install. In that case, you can either look up each libary you're missing (I
use http://google.com/linux to search for the file and see what rpm file it is
in, and then use rpmfind.net to download it from) or else do a "Custom"
installation, which you probally wouldn't want to do since you're a newbie.
Your choice though.
And if any Mandrake peoples are reading this, you guys really need to make the
installation of all the libraries standard for all installations. It's a huge
hassle to go track down everything if you don't have it, and newbies don't
relieze that they'll need all those libraries (since they don't program) until
they start compiling stuff from source.
Hello!
I have just installed Mandrake 7.0 yesterday I am
a very newbie!!! :)
i chose the 'recommended installation'
i installed mandrake on its own partition!
after installation... i tried gcc
but it didn't work!
i tried the famout "Hello World" example!
but the compiler complained that
stdio.h: No such file or directory
what to do!
i tried to reinstall linux again but this didn't work!
any help would be greatly appreciated!
thank u

Re: [newbie] Netscape 6
Mozilla is the browser that came out of the Open Sourcing of Netscape. From what I understand, Mozilla contains very little old Netscape code, but it was Netscape's project. Netscape just takes the stable snapshots of Mozilla and adds their own stuff to it (like the Netscape logo) and then releases it as Netscape 6.xx. So it's a combined community thing. Did anyone else on the list notice that Netscape 6 is Mozilla 5? I knew the same ppl made them, but I didn't realize that Moz5 was beta testing for NS 6. -- Anthony Huereca http://m3000.1wh.com Computers are not intelligent. They only think they are.
