Re: [newbie-it] Che modem posso prendere ??
Ciao, Io ho un 3Com Us Robotics (56k esterno seriale) e mi funziona benissimo. Anch'io ho la Mandrake 7.2 che me l'ha riconosciuto da sola durante l'installazione. Con Mandrake 7.2 va bene un qualsiasi modem esterno seriale ?? (cerco un 56K v90) Credo che qualsiasi modem seriale vada bene. Ciao. Steo. __ Do You Yahoo!?

[newbie-it] Configurazione Scheda video
Come gi postato in precedenza ritorno sul tema scheda video: la scheda montata sul portatile (Acer TravelMate 350 TE) : Trident Video Accelerator Cyberblade Ai1 AGP 5.8089 le altre info che trovo da WIN sono: - risoluzione 1024x768 16,8 milioni di colore - Integrated Ramdac - Ram 8 MB - String: Trident Video Accelerator Prove fatte con drakconf in KDE (un gran bel strumentino, in ogni caso): - provate tutte le possibili Trident - provate tutte le risoluzioni e schede (VGA, SVGA, ecc.) Ricercato driver in internet, su Xfree86, su fornitori di driver, ecc. Mi sto domandando, ma chiedo lumi, se sia il caso di "aggiornare" Xfree ad una versione tipo la 4.x (da quanto ho capito su Mandrake 7.2 c' la 3.3.6) se la cosa fattibile (mi verrebbe da dire anche "facile" ma temo non lo sia...) o addirittura il kernel (magari passare al 2.4) se serve (e qui vale lo stesso pensiero di prima, sic!). E' un problema di supporto della scheda AGP? E allora che si fa? Gi che ci sono chiedo se qualcuno della lista gira nei dintorni di Vicenza, visto che il locale LUG che ho contattato non si mai fatto vivo, magari ci si scambia un caff e qualche opinione (se poi uno molto BRAVO anche qualche consulenza, dietro lira, ovviamente se richiesto). Chiedo poi un'altra banalit: per installare Open Office trovato dai CD delle riviste c' una via per farlo con il punta-e-clicca o si deve per forza farlo da "terminale"? Due righette faciline non sarebbero male (credo che forse potrebbe valere per tutti i file .gz). Grazie a tutti. Andrea M. P.S. Magari sar off topic ma molti - credo - anche se da anni lavorano su piattaforme "tradizionali" (nel mio caso dal 1988 con l'OS dell'Apple e dal 1994 con MS Win) sperano di trovare informazioni davvero "a prova di imbecille" (e non mi vergogno ad ammettere di esserlo - a volte - in questo campo), cio estremamente SEMPLICI e DETTAGLIATE sul mondo LINUX altrimenti mi vengono da fare due considerazioni: - o il movimento GNU/Linux pensa di non AVER BISOGNO di utenti comuni che - seppur curiosi di imparare e magari anche di diffonderne l'utilizzo - si trovano a disagio di fronte ad un SO veramente pi complesso dei due precedentemente citati o comunque non ancora "amichevole" come WIN2000 o MAC OS 9.0 (da Mac ho approcciato il mondo Win - come utilizzatore - senza nessun problema); - oppure chi fa gli HOWTO o comunque le "guide" varie da' veramente TROPPE cose per scontato.

[newbie-it] [LM 7.2] Il DRI non vuole proprio andare
Sto ancora cercando di far funzionare il DRI (direct rendering input - ovvero l'accelerazione hardware), ma non c'e' verso. Io ho una g200, il kernel e' il 2.2.17 e xfree e' il 4.0.3. Sono riuscito a scoprire che il questo kernel e' gia' patchato per il supporto dell'agpgart, quindi non riesco a capire che cosa debba ancora fare per farlo funzionare. Una volta avevo provato a compilare il kernel 2.4.2, e quella volta il DRI funzionava. Peccato non funzionasse una marea di altra roba :( Ancora sono troppo inesperto per la compilazione di un nuovo kernel, quindi vorrei riuscire ad andare avanti con quello fornito dalla distribuzione.

The same thing happened with installs of StarOffice and (trial version of) Applixware. Darn inconvenient hunting down the install locations to create links to the executables. :P Any idea what's happening here? We have an integrated menu system across all the desktops. The price is that apps which create menu items only for one desktop usually do not address our menuing structure. The trick is to use the menu editor called menudrake. Start it from a terminal or from the menu. If you start it from DrakConf, you are editing root and system menus. It is easy to use and the best time to use it is while you stil have the items in your menu so you can just copy their contents into the standard menu item. There is one large bug in the 7.2 version of MenuDrake which can cause unpredictable results. It updates menus without showing a busy cursor--only an "updating" and a "finish" in the lower left corner of the menudrake window. If users stop it early, it does weird things. logout/login fixates the menus with their new values. So does update-menus run from a terminal. Civileme
RE: [newbie] Sound card recommendations?
Before you throw away your sound card, you may want to open your system and install it into another PCI slot. Often the a PCI slot may be sharing an IRQ with another device which is spending too much time handling IRQ requests causing the freezing... Simply moving the card can often cure this problem. Give it a shot, you have nothing to loose. Let me know if you have any luck. -JMS [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Revenant Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2001 12:21 AM To: Newbie List - Linux Mandrake Subject: [newbie] Sound card recommendations?

RE: [newbie] IRQ's
If they are all PCI devices then you'll probably want to look at the Bios CMOS configuration. When you get that many devices sharing IRQ's it is likely that: 1) They are PCI devices 2) They are installed in PCI slots that share common IRQ's. Thus when you set one, you set them all. You might try looking at the manual for the motherboard. Often it will indicates which slots share IRQ's with which. You can then plan your IRQ sharing strategy... Worst case move some of your PCI cards around... -JMS [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of michael Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2001 5:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] IRQ's I know this is an elementary thing, but I have 4 devices on IRQ3 and none on 5,6,7,8 or 9.

[newbie] FONT UGLINESS
Some folks have found fonts too big for the space available (when testing beta2), and others have reported ugly fonts they were unable to change. Most of this might be attributed to anti-aliasing.

The Z52 works well with the drivers provided by Lexmark and also with the GIMP-Print driver of the new Mandrake 8.0.

Re: [newbie] Sound card recommendations?
I agree - Some Aureal-based soundcards simply don't agree with Some VIA- based mainboards, when you also use an AGP graphics card. I once spent 3 days trying to achieve some semblance of stability in Windows (back then I hadn't heard of linux!) tweaking IRQ settings, shifting PCI cards to different slots etc. The VIA board and Aureal card co-existed peacefully for a while, till I'd decided to replace my Matrox PCI card with an AGP Banshee card - that was when the incessant lock-up hell started. Got rid of the Aureal in the end. Oops! Sorry for the off-topic-ness ; On 28 Mar 2001, at 8:12, Jeremy H. wrote: Be sure that you are not using a VIA chipset.

[newbie] FTP Help
Hello all This is actually two questions. First is there anything for mandrake which is GPL equivalent to ftp servers like servu? When I mean equivalent I also mean with a gui interface, i loved command line sometimes but when config some stuff like an ftp server I hate it. Question number two. So until I find a ftpd with a gui, I am using wu-ftpd. I need help. I have setup a ftpuser that can only login into throught ftp basically, if the user attemps to telnet or whatever, they do not have a shell to get in with. Now I am serveral directories in the ftpuser home directory, ie /home/ftpuser. here is an example /home/ftpuser... /bin /etc /mp3 /upload /work now I want the prevent the user from uploading to /home/ftpuser/ /bin /etc /mp3 /work and can upload/retrieve from /upload what modifications do I have to make to my ftpaccess file to do this? and I am lost to what the hell the difference is between a real and guest. I am guessing that since the guest is restricted to his/her somedirectory, he becomes a guest PS one more question the way it is setup is that the user logins in as ftpuser and a password. I want to set it up so that I can have joe, bob, mike, john, all have unique logins and passwords but have the samme access all to hether basicalling home directory to /home/ftpuser really need help with all this thanks nadin
RE: [newbie] Dual Boot Trouble
It's possible your Windoze MBR became corrupted. If you restore your MBR and still don't find success I would suggest a solution.

Just loaded Mandrake 7.2, can't get kmail to receive. Netscape sends and receives but Kmail only sends. Get msg: Could not login to pop.rcn.com I said: "PASS your password" And then the server said: "-ERR invalid username or password." I double checked the login and password Changed them in root and also under my user id, still to no avail. Clicked on KDE, Configuration, KDE, Personalization, email and set it there also. Nothin. So i can only get Netscape to send and receive. FYI - login has a - in it, my Password has a # sign in it, Can that be causing conflict with Unix?

Title: RE: [newbie] kpackage in KDE 2.1 Kpackage should work just dandy. If it is not then you have a file that is corrupted or the installation was a bit out of order.

If that is not the way you did it before, then move the files into their own directory and do the install the above way. I noticed that the theme manager did not show up on one of my computers when I first installed KDE 2.1 so I went back and without uninstalling anything and in root console did a : rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force *.rpm and the theme manager showed up as it should have.

RE: [newbie] Linux is draggin' A$$
The installer makes no assumptions on it's own. After all a high percentage of people run their own DNS daemon, etc... and/or sometimes the user elects not to install dns/bind packages since they are installing in a secondary machine on their network. The NET tool on the other hand expects to be told which machine is the resolver. It does not by itself set up your DNS. Linuxconf handles DNS setup under separate entries, as it should. It does a fairly good job of it too. The perennial problem with Linuxconf is the abysmal documentation and help files. Often exacting and differing syntax must be used in each of it's modules (because they were written by different people) but the help/documentation barely mentions ANYTHING. As a result many people overlook Linuxconf and resort to circumventing it... subsequently running into problems because they are not doing things the Mandrake/Linuxconf way... It's a nightmare for the newbie to wade thru this. The upside is that it does make things easier to give help to newbies... While I deem myself to know Linuxconf pretty well, there are still areas that totally elude me... and others which are still in error. Case in point: I discovered that the automatic update of DNS via the DHCPD server for Windows Client allocation was attempting to write out the leases file into the wrong directory. This prevented DNS from getting update via the cron script that does this, so while the leases would be allocated there were no corresponding DNS additions or removals. A simple symlink to the proper directory fixed this and now Linuxconf correctly shows all allocations... So WHERE are the docs for this? As so typifies good coders, the Linuxconf authors can program with the best, but can't write docs worth a damn. -JMS [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mark Johnson Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2001 9:39 AM To: LinuxNewbie (E-mail) Subject: RE: [newbie] Linux is draggin' A$$ Is this actually the cannoncial way of setting up your machine: ... and add an entry for it in /etc/hosts, etc. to add the machine name to your hosts file?

RE: [newbie] kpackage in KDE 2.1
I did notice one issue with kpackage 2.1 though - after selecting packages for install/uninstall and at the screen where the options for "check dependencies" and "test only" etc are available, kpackage will crash if you click in the list of selected packages. No longer occurs in 2.1.1 though. On 28 Mar 2001, at 13:18, Myers, Dennis R NWO wrote: Kpackage should work just dandy. If it is not then you have a file that is corrupted or the installation was a bit out of order.

If that is not the way you did it before, then move the files into their own directory and do the install the above way. I noticed that the theme manager did not show up on one of my computers when I first installed KDE 2.1 so I went back and without uninstalling anything and in root console did a : rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force *.rpm and the theme manager showed up as it should have.

Re: [newbie] Dual Boot Trouble
First of all, did you create an NT Repair Disk and a DOS Boot Disk? Did you create a Linux Boot Disk? However, if you need to restore your Windows MBR, try booting to DOS with a DOS Boot Disk. At the C:\ prompt, type in: fdisk /mbr Shutdown your computer. This will restore you Windows MBR and allow you to boot to Windows. If you want to boot to Linux Insert the Linux Boot Disk.

adrian miller wrote:
Dear All,
Heres my 1st post and a neat trick for people like me who like to do
everything at once:) I like being able to install Mandrake 7.2 and have it
represented on the Win2K bootloader menu without resorting to shenanigans.
I use a triple boot system..Win98SE, Win2k and of course Mandrake 7.2
This trick applies to a fresh install of Mandrake 7.2 on an existing
Win98/Win2K Dual Boot system:
After progressing through Mankdrake setup to the point of choosing
bootloader, i prefer to choose lilo, and then install it not in the
bootsector but the linux root partition, in my case /dev/hda5. Im not overly
fond of grub or using bootloaders in general that write to the bootsector of
a Win machine.
After installing lilo to /dev/hda, i hit ALT - F2 to go to the console and
type the following at the # prompt: (this assumes my /dev/hda5 linux root)
dd if=/dev/hda5 of=/mnt/mnt/win_c/bootsec.lnx bs=512 count=1 Enter
# This copies the bootsector of /dev/hda5 to a file in c:\ called
bootsec.lnx, the /mnt/mnt is not a typo by the way. The win_c is of course
because at partitioning time, Mandrake is friendly enough to have created
mounts for the windows partitions.
pico /mnt/mnt/win_c/boot.ini Enter
# This of course will open boot.ini within pico for editingi hate vi:)
in boot.ini , add the line (after the other entries):
c:\bootsec.lnx="Mandrake 7.2"
Ctrl and X to save
hit ALT - 7 to return to the Mandrake setup screen, and then complete
setup
Reboot and admire the new entry to the Win2k bootloader menu:)
At this point scrolling down to Mandrake 7.2 is highly advised :)
I then make sure to backup the bootsec.lnx file just in case Win2k/Win98SE
get unfriendly and need a reinstall. If that happens its only a matter of
the offending Win OS and reinstatement of the bootsec.lnx file and of course
the boot.ini hacking.
Hope someone gets some use of this trick!

Hi Michael!
Some operating $ystem$ have the not very nice policy of brutally
overwriting the master boot record of your computer when installed.
To solve this you can use your Mandrake CD. Make sure you've set your BIOS
to boot on CD first, and then insert your Mandrake CD and reboot.
When the Mandrake screen appears press F1. You will now be given a set of
options. I'f i'm not misremembering you can type "rescue" (without the
ticks) and hit enter.
You should then get to a root prompt where you can type "lilo" (again
without ticks).
Now LILO will make all operating systems avaiable to you on the next
reboot.
LILO is more or less equivalent to grub, and I think you will feel
comfortable with it.
I'm not sure wether you first have to mount your linux partitions before
doing this. Maybe someone ohter on the list knows?
Cheers
Robert

Hi all, I just upgraded my system and I'm trying to install Mandrake 7.2 on a new hard drive but the installer keeps freezing. The screen freezes when it says "Starting... Please Wait". My setup is: Mandrake 7.2 ASUS A7V133A motherboard AMD 1GHz T-Bird (133 bus) Western Digital 30gig HD This motherboard has a separate ATA100 bus which I attempted to install on using the instructions found at: http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/hardware/hbits5.html When that didn't work, I moved the disk to the standard IDE bus, but the freeze still happens. I've tried the following with no change: - removing my sound and network card - booting from floppy - booting from CD - running in the different modes (expert, text, rescue, etc) Any thoughts? Has anyone seen a problem like this? I can run the RedHat 6.2 and 7.0 installers and they work fine (I'd really prefer to use Mandrake though).
