[newbie-it] dosemu

2001-04-06 Per discussione luca laghi



Secondo quanto riportato nel manualetto che si 
scarica assieme a DOSemu dalsito www.dosemu.org dopo l'istallazione di dosemu è 
necessario creare unadirectory che all'avvio DOSemu farà considerare a DOS 
come disco C. Percreare tale directory con tutte le cose che occorrono 
esiste unprogrammuccio anch'esso presente nel file .tar che si scarica, che 
si chiamabootdir.first. Una volta creata questa directory ci si può mettere 
dentrotutto ciò che si vuole. Ad esempio io ci ho messo dentro Freedos, 
laricostruzione gratuita di DOS scaricabile al sito www.freedos.org.Ciò che fa bootdir.firts 
può essere fatto con semplicità a mano:all'avvio dosemu legge tutte le 
istruzioni sulla macchina dal file di testo/etc/DOsemu.conf. Alla voce 
hdimage potete inserire il nome della directorynella quale DOSemu dovrà 
rintracciare DOS e dovrà fare considerare a DOScome disco C. Dopo questa 
modifica inserite nella directory in questione ilsistema operativo DOS e il 
gioco è fatto. Ogni volta che in DOS salvatefiles semplicemente questi vanno 
a finire nella directory da voi creata.Se per tale directory l'utente ha i 
privilegi necessari DOS potrà essereutilizzato da lui 
tranquillamente.Nel file DOSemu.conf alla voce $ports potete specificare 
gli indirizzi dellevarie porte alle quali DOS potrà accedere. La sintassi 
opportuna èspecificata a fianco, rendendo facile il lavoro.Spero di

[newbie-it] linux sul secondo hard disk

Un po' di tempo fa c'era stata una discussione sul 
fatto che linux mandrake potesse essere installato sul secondo HD.
A riguardo avrei una domanda da fare: ho aggiunto 
un altro hard disk al mio computer e vorrei installare linux sul secondo. Il 
problema e': se sul primo installo win e lascio vuoto il secondo (senza 
formattarlo) e faccio l'installazione raccomandata, linux viene installato sul 
secondo?
Faccio questa domanda perche' tale installazione e' 
l'unica che mi funziona. Se cerco di fare le partizioni da me, sebbene sono 
certo che siano giuste, mi da' errore nell'installazione.

Re: [newbie] Telnet Service ...

2001-04-06 Per discussione Dan

Telnet runs under inetd(assuming it is turned on under
inetd.conf).  Inetd listens to the port that telnet
requests come in on.  If a request comes in it starts
the telnet daemon.  This is done to save system
resources since inetd also listens for alot of other
services.  This saves on system resources.  Rather
than have a lot of services listening, you have one. 
Unless you have alot of telnet requests, this setup is
just fine.

Re: [newbie] Telnet vs SSH

2001-04-06 Per discussione Tim Holmes

The difference is in security for the most part.  There are some other
perks to SSH that telnet does not allow.  For example you could shut
down a machine with the command:

ssh -l root hostname.dns.com shutdown -h now

Once you execute that command, it will ask you for the RSA key passcode
and then log into that machine, execute that command and then log out.
The machine will then shut down.  This can't be done in telnet. And if
it can, it's not done easily, I've tried the command and it won't allow
it or look like there's a simple way to do that.

[timh@r2d2 timh]$ ssh yoda uptime
timh@yoda's password:
 11:39am  up 51 days, 11:44,  5 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

There's an example.

There's also the security. With Telnet, you can't telnet in as root due
to the fact that it sends a plain text passwd and it's not hard at all
to catch those passwds.  SSH sends a plain text key.  The key has the
passcode encrypted within that key.

Windows comes with Telnet.  And it's installed by default in Win98SE,
and up.  (If you actually disable networking, you install the telnet.exe
to install the Windows networking.)  Windows does now however have a SSH
anything.  I don't know if they ever will, and since they're recent
statements about OpenSource, Linux and GPL, I doubt they will do
something like that any time soon.

There are plenty of applications you can buy or download as FREEware.
Personally I like and use SecureCRT.  Which can be coupled with a SFTP
client.  SecureCRT does suppor telnet.  Hummingbird has a good suite for
telnet, I believe it supports SSH, and it should connect to an X Server.
However it's pricey.  Last I heard it was like $700 or so.  But there
are other ways of getting software that will perform the task you need
with out spending a dime, or with out spending an arm, a leg, and a knee
cap!

Hope that clears things up for you a little.

[newbie] modem lockup

2001-04-06 Per discussione Franki

Hi everyone,

I have a permanent dialup connection, and every now and then the modem will
just lock up and nothing short of turning it off will fix it... its a 56 K
KTX external modem, and the problem has only been since it was put on the
linux machine..

It will work for a month sometimes, and then it will just freeze for no
apparent reason.

Does anyone know of a init script that would reset a ktx ext?

or something that might solve the problem?

Both the phone line and the power run through a surge arrestor , so surges
can't be the problem, so I am at a bit of a loss as to what it might be.

What Alan says is basically true, but if you're brave at heart, here's a 
method that can enable one to upgrade to glibc 2.2 on a 7.2 install. 
http://www.pclinuxonline.com/Help___How_To/Glibc-2_2/glibc-2_2.html
 I followed these instructions here except where they say do a --force 
--nodeps, do a --test and get the other 2 - 4 dependencies.  I haven't had a 
problem, yet (being the operative word) and have been using this set up for 
about 9 or 10 days.  Oh I did upgrade my menu app tho it suggests not to.  
But it was necessary to that I wouldn't get an error when I upgrade-menu 
after installing kde2.1.1.  
This should keep you from getting a screen full of errors.  I think you can 
scroll through the screens by typing tab + pgup/pgdown (or the arrows), or 
maybe its ctrl + arrows.  H*ll, I can't remember.  Experiment with those 
extra keys.  But you can change to another console by typing F2, F3 and so on 
and back again.  (I find that handy.)
Anyway, good luck.

only DHCP. Great. When I setup ADSL in Linux  try to fire up Netscape, I
keep getting "server not found" message. Trying to change Linux to

Re: [newbie] Vmware

2001-04-06 Per discussione Nima S. Panahi

Well, I have the Gsx version and used to have the Vmware workstation. Now,
in gsx, one can setup as much as six scsci type devices (maybe in
workstation too, but I forget). Now, the devices linked to the scsi do not
have to be real scsci.. one can map atapi to scsi for example. All these
setting are under the configuration editior.  When you first setup with
the wizard, it only allows you to setup one cdrom, one floppy and one
disk. Afterwards you can use the configuration editor to add or change
settings.

Now, for example, I have SCSI 0:0 linked to my virtual
disk then have
Device   typename
SCSI 0:1 CD-ROM  /dev/scd0
SCSI 0:2 CD-ROM  /dev/scd1
SCSI 0:3 CD-ROM  /dev/scd2

and the such.


If vmware does not have scsi (which I don't remeber), the it is still
possible. Of course, for P-M one has the virtual disk.
Device   type   name
P-S CD-ROM /dev/hdc (if that is your IDE CD) or /dev/scd0 (if you have
used ide-scsi emulation)
S-M CD-ROM /dev/scd1
S-S CD-ROM /dev/scd2

and the such. put in the right device names for your machine, but you get
the idea. Basically, for SCSI you can have upto six devices and for IDE
only 4. I hope that helps, and sorry for answering late.

[newbie] Kmail cable modem

2001-04-06 Per discussione Philip Brandt

Hi --
I'm trying to see if I can set up Kmail to retreive my e-mail. I get as far
as the SMTP tag where it asks for Server and Port. I have a cable modem and
all the documentation on e-mail (as well as tech support) said that I need

Server and Port. What I have tried has returned, for example, "Can't find

Re: [newbie] ADSL setup

2001-04-06 Per discussione Dave Sherman

Dan,

As root, run netconf and make sure you are using dhcp for your ethernet 
card. Click the "Host name and IP network devices" button. In the next 
dialog, click the "Adapter 1" tab. The Enabled box should be checked 
(indented), and Dhcp should be selected. The Net device should show eth0, 
and the Kernel module should show your NIC driver (eepro100, for the Intel 
Pro/100 NIC I received from Qwest). Accept any changes.

Next, click the "Name server specification (DNS)" button. You should have 
Qwest's domain name server IP addresses in the text boxes for "IP of name 
server 1" and "IP of name server 2". If not, enter them. If you don't 
know, use 204.147.80.1 for the first, and 204.147.80.5 for the second. You 
do NOT need to check the "DNS is required..." box. Accept any changes.

Quit netconf. If you made any changes, then netconf should prompt you to 
restart networking. If it doesn't, you will need to do it manually (in a 
terminal, as root):
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart

If the command fails, then read the error message. It may be that dhcpcd 
(the dhcp client daemon) is not installed, and therefore you are unable to 
use dhcp to get your network config. If this is the case, run rpmdrake and 
install dhcpcd. Then start networking again, as with the restart command 
above.

If you're not sure, try locate dhcpcd. My output looks like this:

[root@numidea dave]# locate dhcpcd
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.cache
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info
/var/run/dhcpcd-eth0.pid
/usr/share/doc/dhcpcd-1.3.19pl1
/usr/share/doc/dhcpcd-1.3.19pl1/README
/usr/share/man/man8/dhcpcd.8.bz2
/sbin/dhcpcd
[root@numidea dave]#

Note the last item, /sbin/dhcpcd. This is the actual program you need.

If you have dhcpcd installed and running, then in a terminal, run 
ifconfig. You output should look something like this:

[root@numidea dave]# ifconfig
eth0  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:03:47:1B:EC:68
  inet addr:10.0.0.2  Bcast:10.0.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
  UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING  MTU:1500  Metric:1

  TX packets:46 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
  collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
 
[root@numidea dave]#  

Note the IP address of device "eth0". If you only have "lo" but no "eth0", 
then your network card isn't initialized -- probably because the dhcp 
client is either not installed, or not running, or else the driver module 
failed to load. If you know which module your NIC needs, try "modprobe 
modulename". If you get an error message, troubleshoot -- wrong module? 
hardware conflict? module already loaded (this one is ok, that means the 
driver is already running)? Try restarting networking again (see command 
above).

Next, run route -n. Here's my output (sorry about the column formatting):

[root@numidea dave]# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination  Gateway   Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface
10.0.0.0   0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U0  0   0   eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0   U   0  0  0   lo
0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1   0.0.0.0  UG 0  0 0 eth0
[root@numidea dave]#  

See the third line, starting wiith 0.0.0.0 -- this is your default route. 
Notice that it is linked to eth0 (last column). Notice the Gateway column. 
The Gateway entry is the internal IP of your Cisco 678 router. It might 
not be 10.0.0.1, I don't know if Qwest configures them all the same or 
not. But if you have a default gateway entry, then it is timie to try and 
get online. Just launch Netscape.

Hopefully a page will load. If not, then try pinging 64.37.137.83 
(www.sony.com). If you can ping the IP address, then at least you are 
hitting the web. It's a domain resolution problem. If you can't even ping 
the IP, try another known IP address, like those DNS entries I gave you 
above. If you are still stuck, then you aren't even getting outside your 
router, and possibly not even outside your PC. Try pinging your router 
(the Gateway IP address). If you can't get it, then you are stuck inside 
your PC. Time to read the Networking HOWTO and see if it can help you :-)

Good luck,

[newbie] strange r key problem

2001-04-06 Per discussione cyberclay

Hey,
  I recently upgraded to the 8.0beta2 release of Mandrake, but
now I'm having a very peculiar problem.  The r and z keys on my
keyboard do not work in X Windows.  Instead of typing the character,
as expected, the border of the current window changes focus.  I'm
using the sawfish window manager in conjunction with gnome.
  I have no idea what could be causing this -- any help would be
much appreciated.

Regards,
  cyberclay

[newbie] Texttar LM72 rpm Goldmine

2001-04-06 Per discussione Benjamin Sher

Dear friends:

Thanks to Peter Schram, I discovered a real goldmine for LM72 rpms. Here
is the address:

http://texstar.dyn.dhs.org/

You will find here the latest Mozilla 0.8.1, the latest galeon (and all
required dependencies -- one of which, the libdst++ .so.3 or something
like that included in GConf), the latest Gnome 1.4 (including Nautilus),
etc. etc.

Be sure to bookmark the site. A real goldmine.

Once again, my thanks to Peter Schram.

Benjamin

RE: [newbie] 3DForce B-16 nVIDIA RIVA TNT2

2001-04-06 Per discussione Jose M. Sanchez


What you are looking at is a Jaton card.

Check them out at www.jaton.com

The 32 meg version is only a few dollars more and is a better buy.

It is a TNT2 and it works fine under Mandrake 7.2.

Nvidia's drivers work fine as well.

It's a good inexpensive solution.

I have two Linux machines with this card installed (32meg version)

  I can't find anything but a post to some foreign language list
(can't even make out the language -- I think Portugese) on this
card.

  I assume that as it uses nVidia Riva TNT2, it likely will work
in lm7.2, but I dunno.  Anyone have this card working?

[newbie] Mozilla 0.8 LM72 rpm (March 26) at Textar -- Correction

2001-04-06 Per discussione Benjamin Sher

Dear friends:

Just for the record:

The Mozilla 0.8.1 LM72 rpm available at Texttar's LM72 site is still the
old Feb 17, 2001 version. However, I expect soon to see the latest 0.8.1
LM72 rpm available on their site. URL:

http://texstar.dyn.dhs.org/

I do not believe that you can use the Cooker version because of the
incompatible versions of the rpm file (version 3 vs. version 4) in LM72
vs LM8.

[newbie] Installing Linux on laptopdesktop on....

2001-04-06 Per discussione PENA FAMILY

Just to share this with those of you interested. On a cable channel called
TechTV they will be installing a Linux OS, don't know which distro, on both
a desktop and laptop on the air. The intent I guess is to give hints and or
show what you may encounter trying to install a Linux distro.

You can check their website for exact time since all I know is they are
planning it on a Thursday and Friday next week.

The shows name is Screen Savers.

Re: [newbie] KDE 2.1.1 - do I also need to update XFree86?

2001-04-06 Per discussione Terry

also forgot to ask .. some of these dependency errors
list files that I have no idea what package they come
from (so far the ones that appear regularly are
libfreetype.so.6 and glibc-devel) .. what
package(s) are these files found in?

 put XFree in its own directory
 and cd to that directory and type:
 rpm -Fvh *.rpm
 
 and put qt2 in its directory
 and cd to that directory and type:
 rpm -Uvh --replacefiles *.rpm
 
 and finally with all your kde rpm in the directory
 all by itself and type.
 rpm -Uvh --nodeps *.rpm
 
 you may have a conflict with kdeaddutil rpm
 you can either use
 rpm -e kdeaddutil*.i586
 and that should remove the package or
 
 just simply use
 rpm -Uvh --nodeps --replacefiles *.rpm
 to install all your 2.1.1 with no dependency and to
 replace the files
 that conflicts with kdeaddutil files.
 
 Hope that helps.

Re: [newbie] Linksys coding line

2001-04-06 Per discussione Jeremy H.



there is not really a need to compile the driver.. 
if you use drake config=linxconf=network tab=select the 
adapter1=choose eth0=then choose tulip from the drop down for the 
module.. enter in the ip address, host name etc.. then restart you 
network.. this will work. it worked for me at least.. I hope 
that this will help you.

  Subject: [newbie] Linksys coding 
  line
  
  Hello all,
  
   Thanks to those of you who have 
  responded to my call for help with my Linksys 10/100 card. I'm trying to 
  compile the code via the info provided in one of the links (the heart of 
  Linksys).
  
  The code reads as follows:
  
  gcc DMODULE D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet Wall 
  Wstrict-prototypes O6 c tulip.c `[ -f /usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] 
   echo DMODVERSIONS` 
  
  Everytime I type in that code above, I get 
  errors out the yeeng yang. I think it's a matter of not adding a 
  (spacebar) where needed. I used the archiver program to extract all of 
  the files found in the tgz file foundon my Linux drivers 
  diskette.
   I finally figured out 
  that the (O6) is actually an uppercase "o". Can some one modify the code 
  above putting the word (spacebar) where I should be adding a space. And 
  also note if those are 2 underscores together "D__kernel" or is it supposed to 
  be only one.
  
  Thanks for your time and 
  patience,
  
  Christopher.
