Qualcuno puo' aiutarmi ? Anzi, se qualcuno potesse indicarmi un tool che potesse comporre i fax ed inviarli subito (far cioe' lo spool e l'invio immediatamente), andrebbe anche meglio. Grazie a chi mi vorra' rispondere. ci sarebbe il comando fax (per info digita il comando: man fax), ma sul mio sistema non funziona.

[newbie-it] Problemi con modem
Ho installato Mandrake 7.2 tutto bene a parte la scheda Tv (Terratec Value) che viene vista (il chip) mea con i 2 programmi di KDE in pratica se va tutto bene non funziona, altrimenti mi si blocca il computer e devo resettare. Ma il problema è un altro: inizialmente ho installato un modem Thundercom 33.6 che funzionava regolarmente, poi ho comprato un modem V90 esterno (Chip CIRRUS) che mi ha costretto a installare da capo Mandrake per farlo funzionare, ma adesso a distanza di qualche giorno, è muto, nel senso che quando attivo il dialer di KDE dice che non trova il file /dev/modem (che effettivamente non c'è...), o che è configurato male (ma mi sembra tutto a posto). Ho lanciato Hard Drake , ma nell'elenco dell'hardware presente, cliccando sulla voce modem non viene fuori nulla. Cosa posso fare per farlo riconoscere? Grazie dell'aiuto Giancarlo Sessa [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[newbie] Xserver will not start
Everytime I install Linux Mandrake 7.2 on a computer with an ATI card the X server will not start. It outputs a lot of stuff and finally crashes stating: FATAL SERVER ERROR no screen(s) found I do not know what to do, or how to proceed. I have emailed the support persons at Mandrake and they basically told me to run the XF86 setup again... which I did... numerous times, trying the most conservative video settings there are... and nothing has worked. If anyone has ever run across this problem and managed to fix it, I would be eternally grateful if you would bestow your wisdom on me. The particulars of my system are below: AMD-Thunderbird 1 Ghz, 256 MB RAM, 30 GB Maxtor HD (7200 RPM), ASUS AV7 motherboard, ATI Xpert2000 video card with 32 MB memory, SoundBlaster 16 PCI, KDS 19" monitor (VS-190). This question has been asked before, but no one responded to it. So please forgive my posting it again but I would really really appreciate some help. I am very new at Linux/unix stuff and I have tried everything I can think of to get the X server working but to no avail. Thanks... Patrick

[newbie] Where is the Xserver startup log file?
Hi all, ignorance is a bad thing, sorry. I would like to know which is the sequence of commands that performs the startup of my LM7.2, which is configured to come up with the graphic login. Which is the command that runs X and where is the Xserver startup log file ? Another question: I've installed XFree86-4.0.1 and seems to work very well but, how can I do to test if there is 3d hardware acceleration for my Millenium G400 (DRI/GLX I don't know). Previously, as first installation attempt I have tried 3.3.6 (with 3d hw acceleration!, as stated by the LM installation program) but 3d graphics (i.e. Blender and Moonlight Atelier) with OpenGl was very slow! Significantly better now with 4.0.1. Thanks, Gigi

Hello, I have been unsuccessfully trying to upgrade to 7.2 from 7.1. I have read a few posts regarding upgrading and am forewarned about some of the issues involved here. However, my problem is during the installation the install program hangs in the middle of installing apps. I am installing from an ISO I burned myself using kisocd.

At the first screen you will given the option of different monitor resoutions, ( I chose non_interlaced Generic SVGA 1024x768 at 60 mhz ) then it will ask to test it, at the next screen choose NO, ( unless of course it looks, ok..g ) after you say no, there will be a section about graphics card, select change graphic cards. there will be a lont list, right in the middle will be something called "other", try "other" and you will be presented with an option for serveral different "X-servers", see if there is one for ATI, I believe there is one ( Mach 64 ?_. If that doesn't work, try XF86SVGA , that might do the trick as well. Sometimes you have to make sure that the correct amount of memory is allocated for your card, make sure that is accurate. Good Luck! Daniel in NJ...:)

ok, I'm giving out free advice. being as i own a $400 comcrap, i mean compaq (what is up with corporations who can't spell? i remember when i was spelled compack) but i agree avoid the integrated stuff. my sound / video / motherboard are all one. is one dies, they all die. my free advice: purchase everything seperately. when i look at these high end systems for 3000 and such, i really think you can make a system just as good or better piece by piece. of course, if you are poor folk like me, they you don't have much choice to go with an integrated cheap system. or save up money over the long term. in a perfect world -- i'd go with building my own system.

I tried using the Linuxconf to make changes, but nothing happened. So I used vi to edit the etc/fstab file and deleted the offending line. So now my xwindow will boot but I am still getting an error on boot up about the swap file. Previous messages It will still boot, but the xwindow won't start. I tried linuxconf to change the mount point for the swap file, but it didn't work. By the way where should the mount point be for the swap file? I tried to create it at mnt/swap.

I first had Red Hat when I was new to linux and found it overwhelming. I had heard that Mandrake was a very easy to learn/convert from WIndows. It is in my opinion the easiest way to change from windows to linux. I have found that now I am to lazy to use another distro because Mandrake is so easy. I don't care for the changes in the 7.2 installer and the way 7.2 handles IDE devices. I had a terrible time installing it, but I did get it installed. I had to unhook my CD-Rom drive and just use my CD-RW as the only CD drive, otherwise I could not burn CD's. I am sure I will get heat for saying that, but I did all the Mandrake and the list tricks to get it working, but to no avail. Over all though I still prefer Mandrake.

Stark - eSN Subject: Re: [expert] Abit be6 motherboard with hpt366 UDMA onboard crashes during boot. the sequel Date: Fri, 02 Feb 2001 05:10:38 -0800 I'd say IRQs. When I had my BIOS issues, I wouldn't get that far. It just wouldn't find the HPT at all, so I think you've properly eliminated that as a possibility. When the abit boots up, and after the HPT366 bios screen, it'll show you a black screen with all of the PCI devices found by the BIOS, along with thier IRQs. Look to see if there are any IRQs being shared. If there are, you may need to shuffle your PCI cards around so it does not try to busmaster the HPT controller. BTW, I think the HPT will be called a 'mass storage device' and will be listed twice with the same IRQ. That's okay. Read your Abit manual about the PCI cards, and which shares and IRQ with which. Derek.ok, thanks for your input. But what do you mean by busmaster the hpt controller?in the bios settings, it shows my sound card as irq 9 my video card as irq 10 and the hpt as 2 x 11'smy bios was set as non-pnp. I have the irq's set as fixed for irq 4 ( my ISA network card )and I reserved IRQ 5 for the soundcard, since windows seemed to need that one for sb emulation, and if it was usedby any other device, it would be upset.I tried the /cat/proc/pci thing, and I noticed that the irq for my video card was set to 11, and the sound card was set to 10so this explains the conflict, the hpt thing is sharing an irq with the video card, which I guess is bad.The Soundblaster live is in slot 4, which is unshared with any of the other slots.the network card is in the only isa slot, which is also ( as far as I can tell ) unshared.Is there any easy way to manually change the IRQ's for cards around? (Harddrake doesn't seem to do that.)I've installed linux several times before, and I've never had to play with irq'sI am getting the impression that each os assigns IRQ's rather than using the ones assigned by the bios? because the irqs in windows are different than the settings in linux.The hpt thing is of course not really a card, so I can't affect that by moving it. I am thinking of getting an actualpci card for the hpt thing, a promise pci card.

Re: [newbie] Cable Modem
I always used the static configuration, but a techie that was here this week changed my line and my modem and reconfigured my windoze partition to use DHCPD. I never had that working before under linux, but after searching Deja for usenet information, I came across the following, which worked: "Yes, you have to manually edit a file, but it is not too complicated. If I remember correctly, as root, edit the following file: /sbin/ifup Look for a section that looks like this: f [ "XXX$DHCP_CLIENT" != "XXX" ];then case $(basename $DHCP_CLIENT) in dhcpcd) [ -n "$DHCP_HOSTNAME" ] DHCP_ARGS="-h $DHCP_HOSTNAME" [ -n "$NEEDHOSTNAME" ] DHCP_ARGS="$DHCP_ARGS -H" DHCP_ARGS="$DHCP_ARGS -h chomehostname $DEVICE" ;; You can see that I have added the parameters "-h chomehostname". Replace "chomehostname" with your @Home hostname. I *think* that's how I got things to work, I don't remember clearly. This is done on LM 7.2, and assumes that you are using the dhcpcd client. It also assumes that you have tried to manually call dhcpcd -h your_host_name, and it worked..!" johnc wrote: On Tuesday 06 February 2001 20:21, you wrote: Just had cable access installed.

So when I got a new HDD for Windoze I kept the old drive and bought the Red Hat 5.0 CD's. For the life of me I can't remember how long ago that was (3+ years ?). I used Windoze, RH was a hobby I fooled with. It took me a _LONG_ time to get sound, printing, et al working. Linux then was much harder, more finicky with hardware than it now is. BUT, the lessons in doing so were invaluable. Then abruptly a few years ago my daughter needed a HDD in her 'school' computer and I sacrificed my 'linux' drive to get her goin' again. So, I d/l'd some 'linux on dos' (run on you Windoze DOS drive) distros, and kept playin with linux. I tried those I figured would be different than RH, like ZipSlack, and one called Phat (basically Mandrake),and a few others. Shortly thereafter, I built myself a new system, includin' a new HDD.

Re: [newbie] Off topic, I but need some advice guys! ;)
I'm a Linux newbie but I've been building and selling custom PCs for years. I'd agree on building your own. My advice is to go to the AMD board and get one of the AMD-recommended MOBOs for an Athlon CPU. Also, stay away from the all-in-one boards. Better to have plug in sound, MODEM, video, etc, so that if one dies you can replace it economically. One other thing, make sure the MOBO allows booting from selected HDD. Makes this dual-boot biznizz lots easier. ;^) CR

You can then use your arrow keys to move to the partition you wish to manipulate. Once you have it highlighted you will see two panels, the left will show Create, Modify, Delete and so on. The right will give you a description of the highlighted partition. you can use Control-M for Modify, Control-C for Create, Control-D for Delete and so on. Striking that key combination will raise a sub-menu relevant to the function you have selected. Again in this sub-menu it's tab to each field.

reboot and enjoy.
Optimizing your kernel is in my next post on kernel utilization.

Re: [newbie] Kernel Sanders
Yes, they pulled it but I don't think that was the governing factor.
When I had went back to the site, I noticed that it was missing. Strange enough, that
kernel-linus2.whatever turned out to have kernel-2.4.1-3mdk tucked inside! What a
trip! In either case, the kernel-linus or just plain kernel-whatever will do for your
purposes in the future.

"was not found on this server" maybe mdk pulled it cuz newbies aren't s'posed
to mess around like that?? I only repeat what I hear... :-)
(as root)
rpm --rebuild kernel-2.4.1-3mdk.src.rpm
it will put the files in either
/usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586
or
/usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i686
go to that directory
and type this command in next;
*note* you can delete pcmcia and smp if you have one motherboard and it is
a desk top */note*
rpm -ivh *.rpm
reboot
check out your new kernel!
I hope you know how to compile it for optimization?
Cheers,

[newbie] RH Fisher
Yes. I do realize that this is a Mandrake list, none the less I thought that some might be interested in the the RH beta which is now available. I attempted the installation on 3 systems, a 650 Athlon w/ Epox SD-11 MOBO, a 800 Duron w/Asus A7V MOBO, and a 1.000 Thunderbird w/Asus A7V MOBO. The installation was successful on both the 650 and the 1.000 but failed on the 800. There is an ide Zip on the 800 and I would get a floppy drive error during hardware detection and the installation would abort. The 1.000 has 2hds both connected to an onboard ATA100 controller and the installation handled this without a flinch.(With Man7.2 even if I enter the param buring boot I have never been able to run the installation so have been contented with running it on the 650.) The graphic card on this system is an ATI Radeon w/VIVO. The card is not auto recognized but the card is selectable from the listings, though it only allows for a max of 32MB ram rather than 64. The NIC on this system is a Linksys ver.4 which requires the new tulip module and it is not included in the installation. Fisher uses the 2.4 kernel. Gnome is still the default desktop and works well. The only activities I have yet performed is to play an audio CD and do a little web surfing. A Big problem if you prefer kde to gnome is that kde will not run. If you try to access it either from the grachical login or from the command line you get an X sever error. It's really strange since all the kde apps will run from gnome in the GUI mode. So as not to bore those who are uninterested I shall stop here. Should any be solicitous of more info they may contact me off list. As a final thought looking at the strides that have been made since the release of the 'crappy' RH7.0 I am begining to wait with breathless anticipation for Mandrake 8.0 Charles (-: Forever never goes beyond tomorrow.
