[newbie-it] KDE theme manager
Ciao !! prima di tutto grazie a chi mi risponderà !! ho scaricato qualche tema per il Kde ma non riesco ad installarlo. Ho guardato nella documentazione dove mi dicono di usare il theme manager (che però non riesco a trovare agli indirizzi che mi hanno dato : "Desktop/Theme Manager" e "Settings/Desktop/Theme Manager" sebbene ho il KDE 2.0) qualcuno sa dove sta questo programma?? Sapete dirmi dove mandrake mette i file di configurazione (desktop icone e barra del menu) nel filesystemsu Mandarke?? ciao e grazie !!!
[newbie-it] set stampante di rete
carissimi amici della mailing list, vi chiedo scusa se continuo a rompere con il mio problema della stampante ma purtroppo non riesco a trovare nessuno che possa darmi una dritta su come settare una stampante di rete con linux mandrake. Ringrazio the_viking per il suo aiuto, ma non mi ha detto cosa devo inserire nell'opzione PORTA. Gli sarei grato anticipatamente se vorrà dirmelo. Di seguito riporto il contenuto della mia seconda mail, infatti già due settimane fa avevo proposto questo mio problema, anche se, come ben sappiamo, la soluzione può risultare utile per tutti voi. fabio wrote: un saluto a tutti vorrei proporvi un mio problema: ho un pc collegato in rete a cui devo collegare la stampante di rete locale. 1.Da DrakConf sono andato su STAMPANTE REMOTA poi su STAMPANTE DI RETE. 2.ho inserito il nome della stampante lasciando vuote le opzioni DESCRIZIONE e POSIZIONE (POI OK). 3.ho inserito NOME HOST STAMPANTE, per intenderci stampante.host.it, lasciando vuota l'opzione PORTA. 4.ho scelto il modello. Per qualche giorno ha funzionato, dopo di che la stampante ha smesso di stampare quello che gli mando. Come posso risolvere il problema, forse sono necessarie le altre informazioni? Scurate ancora la mia petulanza ma per il mio lavoro ho bisogno negli ultimi tempi di stampare diversa roba dalla rete. ciao a tutti fabio
[newbie-it] Mandrake 8 E Photopaint 9
Sulla mia nuova MDK 8.0 ho provato ad installare Corel PhotoPaint 9. Neanche troppi pasticci, come succedeva con MDK 7.1 e 7.2, solo che Photopaint non riesce ad avviarsi. Spiego: purtroppo non è possibile installare il pacchetto fonttastic-glibc-2.1 a causa di una incompatibilità del file /etc/int.d in esso contenuto con quello installato sul sistema attraverso initscripts-5.82. Così Photopaint non trova il suo fontserver e si rifiuta di lavorare. Non vorrei forzare l'installazione di fonttastic per non rischiare di incasinare tutto il sistema, e allora che fare? A qualcuno viena un'idea? Ciao, Daniele.

Re: [newbie] sound card help

Hi ! I have a domain called EMAGIN, composed of NT workstations and an NT server called SERVER1.In one of the NT workstations, i have also installed linux mandrake7.2 in a partition. This machine is called kaoutar. I've installed Samba in it, and tried to join the EMAGIN domain, letting SERVER1 the domain contoller. I have shared a directory called KTI. Here is my smb.conf: [global] netbios name=kaoutar workgroup = EMAGIN server string = Samba %v on (%h) security = domain password server=SERVER1 encrypt passwords = Yes local master = no domain controller=SERVER1 name resolve order =lmhosts wins hosts bcast mangled names = yes [KTI] comment = KI path = /var/www/html/site_kti writeable = no guest ok = Yes read only =yes I have created a user account in linux and samba with the same authentication parameters of the NT server administrator. when i type : smbclient -U% -L LOCALHOST I first got : unkonwn parameter encountered domain controller then it gives the right results... but i realized that it does not make the right resolution for server1, so i added the ip address of server1 to the /etc/host file then it updated the error to: NT-STATUS-ACCESS-DENIED and that's also what it gives when i tried to make samba server join the EMAGIN domain, so obviously samba have not yet joined the domain. By the way the /etc/lmhost is composed of only one line: 127.0.0.1 localhost ! is it normal ? Well, the NT workstations and server easily access the shared directory! However, when i try to browse the network via konquekor, it fails, it keeps asking for server1 and kaoutar authentication.

The difference is that a binary file is just a program while an RPM-package may contain a number of files, plus the fact that the RPM packages also contain information about which resources the package depends of. That is, which resources must already be present in order to ensure a correct behaviour. There is an alternative, the deb packages, which is the debian equivalent to RPM (but they are not interchangeable, thus you support RPM or debian packages, NOT both at the same time). There is also a utility 'alien' that allows conversion between debian, RPM and tar packages. Essentially RPM and debian may be seen as tar packages with extra information on dependencies. /Serafim

[newbie] OT- large hard drive = dual boot problem
I just put an 8Gb hdd in my Hewlett Packard Vectra VL and I want to dual boot Mandrake and Windows 98se (at least until GIMP can match Photoshop's CMYK support). The bios correctly recognizes my new hdd as being 8455Mb, 16383 cylinders, 16 heads and 63 tracks. Unfortunately, the Win98 setup floppy won't boot an hdd with such a large number of cylinder sizes. This is ironic, since Mandrake will load, detect all my hardware (including USB) and configure it correctly right out of the box. Anyone know any bios tricks to fool Win98 into booting with this 8Gb drive? It's a Phoenix bios, on an older P-II-233, if that helps

Hello, I have downloaded the 2 Mandrake 8.0 CDs, and burnt them correctly (I hope). Now, when I boot up with the inst-cd, the graphical installation gives me very weird colors, I can hardly see anything, the colors are mostly black, with some green in some places. It's impossible to install Mandrake this way. I tried playing around with my contrast settings and all, but that didn't solve anything. I tried the text installation too, but it gave me a segmentation fault after selecting the printer, and I would really prefer to use the graphical installation. My graphics card is a Voodoo3 2000, but I am unable to find enough info about my monitor for it to be of any help, it's a Packard Bell one. If I don't succeed with this, do you have any pointers to a good linux distribution with the 2.4 kernel, Xfree 4 and KDE 2, that is easy to install? Thank you, Per Einar Ellefsen [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I notice that when the system is otherwise idle a process calling itself kapm-idled runs, consuming 75-80% of the CPU. Top shows its size as 0. What is it? Thanks, It isn't chewing up your CPU--it measures idle cycles for some other routines that try to calculate Load and such. Probably we will modify the top and other measurement programs so you cannot see it. Again those are the TOTAL IDLE CYCLES being shown. Civileme

[newbie] HP DeskJet 812c via USB
I can get the USB connection to the printer working; I can even copy straight text to the printer and it comes out fine. But if I try to use CUPS driver, the test page comes out all garbled with random ASCII characters. I'm using Mandrake-Linux 7.2, and nothing is working for me.
