Re: [newbie-it] live
Se ti riferisci alla SoundBlaster Live, puoi provare 2 strade: Per prima cosa, nel BIOS, disabilità le voci OSPlugPlay, ESDC. 1) Vai al sito della soundblaster e ti scarichi i drivers. E' l'unica scheda della Soundblaster di cui sono disponibili i drivers per ambiente Linux nel sito 2) Altrimenti puoi provare a usare "sndconfig", fuori dalla modalita' grafica. Se hai solo il primo cd di Linux Mandrake, allora il programma "sndconfig" lo puoi scaricare da www.rpmfind.com. Se hai altri problemi, posta pure... Bye Michele

[newbie] installation 7.1 on scsi disks
Hi, my system has only two scsi disks. I installed M7.1 from CDROM. when after installation I tried to reboot, the kernel stops with a kernel panic: unable to mount root fs. somebody sugested it is maybe because i installed from (IDE)cdrom, and my root fs is on a scsi disk. During installation the scsi was recognized, resulting in using the scsi kernelmodules. Now at startup the modules are not loaded because therefor the rootfs must be mounted. Is this a reasonable explanation? If so, how can i make my system work?i.e. how can i compile my kernel so the scsi is in it, and not a module? (whitout being able to boot, i seems hard to me) the system is an alphastation, with digital alpha processor, 21164 chipset. thx Pieter

Re: [newbie] bootdisk
yes, you are right. However, you can use the cdrom install disk and choose upgrade instead of new install, then don't change anything or let it add some programs that weren't installed to begin with. If you pick custom install you can choose a single area of functionality, like KDE to add. then when it finishes and goes to the end you should get the make boot floppy choice again. This will save a lot of time since the partitions will not be changed and the whole load of packages won't be rewritten. Linux is definitly a learning experience.. Good luck.

[newbie] Re: PATH variable mess
Hi -- I'm running 7.1, and I noticed early on that the PATH repeats itself 3 times on my system in "X" consoles (konsole is my fave). I noticed also that at a virtual console (ctrl-alt-f1, for instance), the PATH is as expected -- no duplications. I injected "echo"s into the logon scripts, and concluded, finally, that it's the initialization of "X" which does the repeating. The duplication isn't really a problem, as the shell quits looking at PATH once the executable is located. In the case where the executable isn't located, it may have looked at the same directories 3 times, but that's what disk caching is designed to speed up, isn't it?! Heh, heh...

Hi, Caroll, this is a bug on the 7.1 installer when run in non-expert mode. There is a fix at http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/heliumlast.php3 halfway down the page (2nd error scenario). Download the script and save it as a file and then run it using the command "perl linux_extended_fix.pl". Searching the list's database you can find explanations of what caused this problem, I'm not really sure off the top of my head (actually, I didn't understand it when I read it). :) Good luck!

Re: [newbie] Disk filling up
When was the last time you did a fsck on your partition (either automatically or manually) ? Linux should maintain your drive well by itself without any user interaction, but occasionally something can go wrong that Linux misses. Just remember to unmount your partition before fscking it, otherwise you could corrupt the data (fsck has a warning for this), and of course run fsck as root without X running (just in case).

Re: [newbie] permission
First off, what mail program are you using? Sometimes Pine has a problem with certain things, one reason why I don't use it. But it depends on what file permissions you need the file to be. For example, here's what one folder I have looks like. -rw--- 1 tdh other 73443 Dec 11 11:09 saved-messages Works with no problems at all. So if you just need to make a file read write, try this command. chmod 600 file_name Take a look a the man pages for chmod. They might help a little bit. tdh -- T.

OK I will assume you are in Some desktop Open a terminal $ su - password:(give the root password) # diskdrake (You will now have a couple warning messages and then a window will open that allows you to partition the disk.) The unused area will be shown in white. Click on the white section and Create a partition--preference 'extended' on ALL these you create say 1.5G for /tobeusr as the mount point and ext2 (linux native) for the type. If you are running servers make a /tobevar about 400M, otherwise 100M should do. Make a /tobehome an appropriate size for the space you have remaining and the number of mp3s and pictures and word-processing files you want to store If you have any other space left, and it is more than 200M, do a /tobe1usr/local... And if not use the rest of the space as /tobetmp Now hit each partition made in turn and click 'format' then click 'Done' # joe /etc/fstab #you could use vi or jed or emacs or cooledit or pico too Now in /etc/fstab you have new lines to type in /dev/hda5 /tobeusr ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda6 /tobevar ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda7 /tobehome ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda8 /tobe1usr/local ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda9 /tmp ext2 defaults 1 2 Then you need to TRIPLE check your work for the added lines and save Then the commands go as follows: # mount /tobeusr # cp -a /usr /tobeusr # rm -r /usr -f # ln -s /tobeusr /usr # mount /tobevar # cp -a /var /tobevar # rm -r /var -f # ln -s /tobevar /var # mount /tobehome # cp -a /home /tobehome # rm -r /home -f # ln -s /tobehome /home # mount /tobe1usr/local # cp -a /tobeusr/local /tobe1usr/local # rm -r /usr/local -f # ln -s /tobe1usr/local /usr/local # rm -r /tmp -f # shutdown -r now This will have the following effects 1. /usr is moved, making room 2. /home is created so your data can be saved across installs (just don't format the /home partition) Of course you must now print the /etc/fstab file to keep a record of your mount points. 3. /usr/local is the usual target of programs you download and install from other sources, so it is a nice thing to have separate (not trashed by installing version 9.5) 4. /var will have room to grow 5. No one will be able to use any of the exploits that overflow /tmp to put things into the root directory. Those instructions must be done as shown. An omitted instruction equals a broken system. What you are doing: First you open the partition for dialogue with the system sing the mount command. Second, you copy things from your current partition recursively, preserving all properties, ownerships, and links (that is the condition given by -a) Third, you wipe out the old directory Fourth you create a permanent link from old name to new mount point--you could avoid this by unmounting, editing the mount point name in /etc/fstab, then... Well that's a lot more work, and it is time to learn that aliases and symbolic links are a heckuva lot more useful than shortcuts. On /tmp, you simply remove the directory and let the reboot mount the new /tmp Now you are going to have one heckuva big, mostly empty / partition, but you can always make use of it by, for example. mkdir /mymp3s #which would store the mp3s in the unused space in /. Now, an exercise for the assiduous student. Why did I not recommend splitting out into separate partitions the following: /etc /bin /sbin /lib Hint: What does the system do on boot? It mounts / then does a few things, then remounts it R/W, then begins to mount other partitions. What does the system need to know to do that? What resources does it use? Happy holidays BTW, Civileme

GNU/Linux is much much less forgiving of hardware errors than any other op system It always tries to use ALL of memory for something because its philosophy is that usused memory is wasted memory, so it shows up memory errors that existed undetected fior months or years on a Windows system (undetected, that is, except for modem freezes and game crashes). If the memory is good, try a reinstall, hit F1 at the splash screen and type either linux idebus=33 or linux ide0=noautotune to avoid the problems of a disk advertising that it can do ATA/66 (with errors) when it can do ATA/33 without.

Check the memory first, but it looks like a lot of compounded disk write errors. GNU/Linux is much much less forgiving of hardware errors than any other op system It always tries to use ALL of memory for something because its philosophy is that usused memory is wasted memory, so it shows up memory errors that existed undetected fior months or years on a Windows system (undetected, that is, except for modem freezes and game crashes). If the memory is good, try a reinstall, hit F1 at the splash screen and type either linux idebus=33 or linux ide0=noautotune to avoid the problems of a disk advertising that it can do ATA/66 (with errors) when it can do ATA/33 without.

Re: [newbie] Disk filling up
Mark, In the event that you have one or more large files eating this space, you could use the find command to locate them. Start high, and keep doing it, dropping the size by a couple meg each time. The syntax would be like this: find / -size x -print or to look in your /home directories, use find /home -size x -print where "x" is the size of the file in blocks (512-byte blocks, that is). It would be nice to search for files of a certain size _and_ modification date, but find can't do that. Maybe locate can?

Right now, I'm using the Grub to boot with; will that remain unmolested by me installing 7.1, or will Lilo try to take over?

If you (not just you Becky) need reasoning beyond the No.1 rule please understand: o it wastes bandwidth. html, rtf, etc. uses twice (or more) bytes than regular old plain (ASCII) txt. If everybody insisted on doin' it anyway, then everybody's access to the Net would be diminished accordingly. Those with limited access are hurt the most. o Becky, (et al) What looks great in, X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4522.1200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4522.1200 on your size monitor, with your video card, with your font settings ... well it looks like Sh!+ to a lot of us that aren't as encumbered, if it even renders at all. o If, as in your case Becky (or, et al), you choose to connect to the Net with any M$ product, you run a grave risk of being infected by virii, or cracked. Use of anything but plain txt email _severely_ enhances this prospect for M$ users. o Use of html, rtf, etc, is about the same as attachments. On a public list they're not allowed/strongly discouraged. I could go on, Kmail is unfortunately html capable, but I digress, Merry Christmas -- Tom Brinkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Galveston Bay

It can be very annoying to some of us. I see that you are usign MS Outlook, you can turn HTML of by clicking Format - Plain Text or type ALT o x.

When I disconnect my Primary Server from service- I want the Secondary server to automatically take over providing the websites I am Hosting. My question is: Does MY DNS Info at the Open SRS Database tell the world to look at my Primary IP and if it is "down" will traffic automatically look for my Secondary IP? I Can type in my Secondary IP and pull up the index.html of my main website. I Cannot type in a URL and see any sites come up FROM my Secondary. (when the Primary is out of service) Presently The Only way "I know Of" to have the Secondary Server take over AS the Primary is to change the DNS and IP using LINUXCONF and making the Secondary BECOME the Primary. I welcome all help I can get Thank You, Becky
