[newbie-it] Stampanjte in Mandrake 7.2
cioa a tutti, ho un proiblema: non riesco a configurare la mia HP 690C series printer sotto Mandrake 7.2 (kernel 2.2.17). Hard Drake non mi permette di avviare il tool di configurazione (ovvero schiaccio sul pulsante per avviarlo e non succede nulla) cosa devo fare? grazie ciao Alessandro
R: [newbie-it] KERNEL 2.4.0
Allora se vai su /usr/src/Linux 2.4.0/arch/i386/boot/ dovresti trovare il file bzImage che è il kernel vero e proprio. Copialo su /boot. Vai su Drakeconf e precisamente sul menu di Grub, crei una nuova voce (ad esempio. Prova) e setti di caricare il file /boot/bzImage. Con questa procedura si caricherà il nuovo kernel. Il fatto della velocità maggiore molto probabilmente è solo una tua impressione. Se hai altri problemi fammi sapere Ciao Federico. Up the Penguin -Messaggio originale-Da: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Per conto di BEPPEInviato: lunedì 5 marzo 2001 19.20A: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Oggetto: [newbie-it] KERNEL 2.4.0 Ciao a tutti, oggi acquisto una rivista, con all'interno un cd-rom contenente il kernel 2.4. Seguo passo passo cio' che c'è scritto nelle spiegazioni (faccio presente che è la prima volta che compilo un Kernel) arrivo alla fine dove l'ultimo comando che do è make modules make install Faccio il rebooting come suggerisce la rivista e quando riattivo il pc ho sempre il vecchio kernel, con una differenza. Mi sembra che vada piu' veloce. Voi cosa ne dite, che mi manca da fare ancora visto che la rivista termina dicendo : " ora avete il vostro nuovo Kernel e potete sfruttare alil PC" Ciao e grazie Beppe

ciao, mi trovo di fronte ad un piccolo enigma...dovuto alla mia scarsa
conoscenza della materia...
ho installato mdrk7.2 su un pc con cdrom e masterizzatore
sia root che come utente non riesco ad avere accesso completo al cdrom
ed al masterizzatore...mi spiego meglio:
riesco ad aprire solo cd dati originali o masterizzati
tutti i cd musicali, originali o masterizzati (sotto uindos perch
ancora non ho ben capito come funzionano i programmi di masterizzazione
in mdrk), non riesco ad aprirli, quando ci provo mi appare il messaggio
"impossibile accedere al file:/mnt/cdrom (o file:/mnt/cdrom2 per il
masterizzatore), non hai i diritti di accesso a questo indirizzo"
ma come! ma allora i diritti di accesso ad un indirizzo sono in
relazione a quello che contiene il suddetto indirizzo (se ci sono dati
ok, ma se ci sono canzoni no)?
per fare una verifica ho provato con un cd vergine ed ho lo stesso
messaggio (ma questo lo posso anche capire)
poi ho provato su file:/mnt/floppy, per semplice curiosit, e ho visto
che mi vede i floppy originali, quelli vuoti e quelli creati da
me...ma...mi da sempre il messaggio di errore ("impossibile accedere al
file:/mnt/floppy. non hai i diritti di accesso a questo indirizzo") se
ci metto dentro il floppy di avvio di mdrk 7.2 che ho creato in fase di
installazione del so...
c' qualcosa che mi sfugge...
grazie mille per evetuali illuminazioni, osva
salutatemi a bilgheiz
[newbie-it] DrakeRPM o Kpackage (LM7.2)?
Volevo installare dei nuovi rpm e li ho scaricati e messi in una directory apposita (/usr/updates). Ho lanciato DrakeRPM e ho aggiunto la directory nella lista che si trova nelle preferenze (dove gia' erano presenti cdrom1 e cdrom2); poi sono andato a cercare i nuovi rpm, ma non me li trovava. Ho provato e riprovato, ma nulla da fare. A questo punto ho lanciato Kpackage e anche li' ho aggiunto la directory /usr/updates, e mi sono trovato i nuovi pacchetti nel folder "NEW". Ho installato con successo un paio di pacchetti e ho controllato che Kpackage me li vedesse, e me li vedeva. Poi sono andato a controllare anche DrakeRPM, e invece li' non c'erano. Possibile che DrakeRPM sia cosi' buggato? Voi cosa usate per installare nuovi pacchetti?

[newbie] Completely new to this
Hello everyone Let me first apologise because I am probably going to ask some really dumb questions but I guess they need to be asked. I have a book about it and have looked over many web pages, but I thought someone out there may be able to help me hand in hand as it were! Right so I have installed mandrake 7.1 as a dual boot. It all seems to work so far, and it recognises my CD-ROM. Now I am trying to see if it will recognise soundcard (I doubt it) my winModem (I am sure it won't) and finally get my printer to work! I have a HP 640C printer, originally on a USB connection, but since it is not supported it is now on a parallel port. I have no idea how to get it to work. I tried the root graphical method, but no joy. All it says in my Linux book is how to get a remote postscript printer I am not sure how it relates. As for my sound card, well I have a ATI All-in-Wonder Pro 128, I think this attempts to do everything bar walk the dog in windows, but I am not sure if it is any use in Linux, advice anyone? Finally I know a couple of WinModems can work under Linux but it is about 1 in a billion, I have a US Robotics 56K Win NT modem. I know they were one of the big Windows only modems, but before I go out and get an external modem I thought I would check. Any help is most appreciated, and any tips for a new newbie would be great. Oh finally, I have 128 MB of RAM in my computer but it recognises only 64 in Linux, I tried adding mem=128m to my Linux.conf file but it seems to have done nothing... Right that's it for my first message! Thanks alot Dion
Re: [newbie] Need to compile a 2.2.18 kernal - jrt
Seems you need to make a symlink to the 2.2.18-dir.. cd to the parent dir of "linux-2.2.18", and type: ln -s linux-2.2.18 linux That will create a symlink named linux that point to linux-2.2.18.

[newbie] Now what?
Hi there again...I am back with more questions about Linux. First off, I am glad this group is here for people who are like me and that really don't know Linux, but want to find out. There are lots of great people on here that are very helpful. I finally got my GUI to work, even though it isn't X Windows, it is better than nothing. I use KDE Desktop, for which does fine in 800x600 resolution. Now the stuff I don't know... 1) How do I get Netscape, AIM, or any other internet application to work? REASONS: I use the kPPP program and I connect to T-Three using the PAP type of connection. T-Three does NOT use a HTTP or FTP proxy so I left those spots blank. The way T-Three operates is that it has username and password, and then connect. It doesn't need any scripts to my knowledge. I connect with NO PROBLEM, it is just running the programs. 2) How do I have it recognize my zip drive on parallel port number 2 (LPT2 for DOS/Windows people)? REASONS: I tried the following command: modprobe ppa AND modprobe imm and neither one load the module. This was done in # mode, plus I even tried mount /dev/sd[x]4 -t vfat /mnt/disk with no results. Both say there is no device hooked up. 3) How do I have it recognize my CDRW drive? REASONS: I have my first CDROM drive (read only) recognized with no problem what so ever. So when I installed StarOffice 5.1 it worked great. Now I would like to be able to create MP3's, create my own CD's (from my own CD collection) and create CD's for my own backup purposes. 4) Is there any Scanner software out there that will work? REASON: I have a parallel port SCANNER that I would also like to use. Thanks again EVERYONE! Richard Wegner Linux Newbie [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

Re: [newbie] Can't resize certain windows
If you hold down the ALT key you can drag the window around no matter where in the window the cursor is (assuming you use kde). Btw, if your monitor/gfx-card is able to show higher resolutions than 800x600 you probably got some settings wrong somewhere.. Try running mandrake's x-setup again and select "show all modes" (on my pc it only showed up to 1024x768, but 1280x1024 worked fine), or run xf86config and enter the resolutions manually. tirsdag 06 mars 2001, 16:07, you wrote: I've just about got all the kinks worked out of my new 7.2 install. It looks like I'm stuck with a resolution of 800x600 max. One nuisance problem is that some of the windows are larger than my monitor, DrakRPM for example, and I can't resize the window to fit my screen. I can get around the problem in most cases using other methods to do the task but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to offer. Thanks.

[newbie] Comm Port Problems.
Hi; I am working on a Java interface util for a wireless sensor system. The system has a hardware interface that allows the user to control the system via a comm port (RS-232). I am using the RXTX/Java Comm API combo which seems to be working to a point. The system seems to be aware that comm ports exist but when I make a call to open the comm port of interest the system returns indicating that the port is in use. I don't think I need to go into detail on the Java Comm API for what I am looking for. I need to make sure that ManDrake using the ttyS? devices in /dev. I set these help with read/write permissions for everyone (chmod 777 ttyS?). Are these the correct devices mapped to the comm ports? If not, what does ManDrake use? Thanks for the help. -- Philip T.

The font server is probably not installed or not running. Correct the problem and try again. The problem is clear enough. . . I am not running FonTastic, but it is not clear how to correct the problem.

Enough with this thread already ! I'm sorry that I even mentioned my own 2 cents worth, and I think I was the only female to say anything.

RE: [newbie] 8.0 and just!burn
Try finding a "Create CD from image ..." menu or selection in your software. Or download a software that supports burning images to CD. Here's a site that might have some, www.softseek.com Yeah, you probably shouldn't just copy the .iso to your CD. I didn't know that either until my friend told me, because I thought burning was all the same. --- Evan Flynn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i don't have a cdr but you could just make a boot floppy out of the cdrom image in the /images dir, just use rawrite -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Roger Sherman Sent: Monday, March 05, 2001 12:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] 8.0 and just!burn I downloaded the 8.0 isos last night, and want to burn them to disc, but I'm not quite sure how to go about it. I have to do it from the Windont side of my PC, as my CD-RW won't work under 7.2. The CD burning software I have in Windows is a bundle called just!burn, in which I'd use just!data to burn them. Now, I mentioned to a friend that I understood I couldn't just burn it straight to disc; that there was some settings that had to be taken care of, but having never done this before, I didn't know what they were. He told me just to make sure I set it so the CD would be bootable. Well, I looked all about in just!data, and couldn't find any setting to make it bootable. I'm assuming, BTW, that he didn't mean to set my BIOS so that I could boot from my CDR (I already can do that). So is anyone familiar with this software, and if so, what do I have to do?

WAAAYYY OT! (Was: Re: [newbie] 8.0 Beta)
1. Actually, humans were the LAST species to be created, on the sixth day. 2. Nowhere does it say the earth is flat. It also doesn't say the earth is round. The Bible is not a science textbook. 3. I wouldn't know about your "lots of other nonsense", since I have not really noticed it. 4. Yes, pedophilia is sick, regardless of your religion (or lack thereof). Apologies to all for continuing this OT thread... Dave P.S.: I'll bet Hitler was a pedophiliac. And I sincerely hope we all know what happens when Hitler is brought into a thread...

[newbie] HP CD Writer 9500
I have a 9500 cd writer and would like to try burning cd's with Linux but haven't a clue how to get started . I have installed the cd rom burner into the system that is running Linux Mandrake 7.2 and have plenty of blank cd's . I tried the CDROAST program but it looks at the folder I have selected and scans the files then gives an error "broken pipe" I don't rmr the exact error but I was dinking around with the settings of the program and came across a section that looks like it needs a lund number and address for the cdrom burner I am guessing that the burner is too new to be seen by the software as a burner but it reads cd's fine .. in the app hard drake it sees the burner as well as its information ... is there a place that might have a driver file (not sure what its called in Linux) or do I just need to find the id/lund/??? information ( of witch I do not know how to do ) . I tried the cdrecord command with the -scanbus delimiter from the terminal but it did not find a drive . do I have the cd installed correctly? I removed the old cd that was in the system so as to just have the cd rom burner any help in this would be greatly appreciated ..

[newbie] was connected net now I'm not
I had been able to connect to the net via Netscape and kppp. Then when I was in NJ recently, I connected one day, then the next I couldn't. I've gone thru the kppp setup ( I had to create another entry for the new number to connect to there - I've got several so if I go back to these places it's just a pulldown) even deleting the newly created one and copying a known good one, but no go. Now that I'm home, the regular one doesn't work. In fact it behaves the same way my main machine does. That is, the dial up works fine, then starting netscape, it just barely gets the outline drawn, no icons or anything else, just the looking for ... at the bottom and the watch. This is absolutely driving me crazy! I have yet to look at the stuff that Randy Meyer suggested, but that's next. In the meantime, if any of you out there have figured this out, please let me know!

[newbie] Grub timeout!!
I run a dual boot win98 Mandrake 7.2 system. I used to run a Randish Boot manager on my MBR to boot between different OS's. I installed Mandrake 7.2 putting GRUB on my root partition. However once I realised that now my root mandrake partition was now /hda6 and hence not bootable by Randish boot manager so I decided to install GRUB onto my MBR. Which I did succesfully but now it just spits me straight into windoze (the default) without any delay so I can't select a difference choice. I have changed /boot/grub/menu.lst and added 'timeout 10' to it (it wasn't there originally)first below 'default 0' and then moved it to the top to no avail. I have also tried to install LILO but it comes up with the error partition not found and dies.. so I had to reinstall GRUB again. Regards -Tom Webster
[newbie] Cable modem
Hello folks This morning I have started my cable modem conexion"under windows98". It runs fine, but I would like to have it also under linux. Unfortunately until now I have instaled internet conexion using external modem and also a lan, but the last one with IP not assignated by the server. In this case the net-card is well recognized:module 3c59. (NIC 3Com EtherLink XL TPO 10 Mb Ethernet C3C900-TPO) and harddrake detects it without problems, but I have not Idea about how to run internet; the IP is asignated by the server and primary and secondary DNS is automatic, so I don't know what to do!! Thanks a lot Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain) Note: unfortunately connected using windows Could anyone help me

[newbie] KDE 2.1 and SCSI emulation
Mandrake Folks: I just upgraded my Mandrake 7.2 with the KDE 2.1 RPMs. Everything went fine - except for one thing: My CDRW no longer works. It reads as an IDE drive, and sees a disk, but will not write as a SCSI drive. I assume that almost everything remains untouched, so no need to mess with the kernal. I'm just not sure what the KDE 2.1 installation would have modified. Any suggestions? Thanks! Robert Maynord
