R: [newbie-it] Modem non funzionante
Grazie per l'informazione, ma essendo io un newbie di Linux, dove trovo kppp e come lo lancio ? Lo trovi direttamente nel menu di KDE sotto i servizi di rete. Oppure penso che tu possa lanciarlo da riga di comando dopo aver aperto Xwindows. Se per caso dopo il lancio avessi delle difficoltà a terminarlo, puoi idendificarne il PID corrispondente con ps -ax, che ti elenca i processi attivi, poi dai kill numero-PID. Luca

Luca Sei un po' catastrofico. :-) kppp ha dei bellissimi pulsanti esci per uscirne. In caso di emergenza, sul desktop c'e` un'icona rossa xkill. Basta cliccarci sopra, il puntatore del mouse diventa un teschio e con questo clicchi sulla finestra del programma da uccidere. Se e` lanciato da linea di comando in un xterm, bastera` un cntrol-C. Per lanciare kppp basta cliccare sull'icona internet presente sul desktop. Poi premere configura. Comunque, kppp e` abbastanza facile da usare. Se premi il tasto centrale (o destro? non ricordo) del mouse sui vari pulsanti interni ti esce una finestrella di help. Sulla pagina del LUG di Genova (httP;//www.fisica.unige.it/~linuxgrp o simili) c'e` un manualetto per usare kppp sotto le vecchie RedHat-6.x. Il da fare su una Mandrake e` un sottoinsieme stretto. ciao, andrea

[newbie-it] Bloccare il processo di stampa e altro
Ciao a tutti. Allora, volevo dirvi che la mia Epson 870 pare funzionare abbastanza bene (velocità compresa) usando i driver CUPS. Pensate dovrei usarne altri? Era solo la stampa della oagina di test che oltre alla qualità squallida, risultava di una lentezza allucinante. Usando invece altri programmi, anche a 1440x720 non ci sta moltissimo. Ma la cosa che invece vi chiedo è: come si blocca il processo di stampa? Ho provato a usare il programmino per la gestione della coda ma non mi blocca la stampa in corso... Esiste un qualche modo, anche tramite shell per fermare la amata-odiata stampante? Il Gimp l'ho installato usando l'RPM che c'era nella distro (ma così che diverimento c'è? :P). Ah, scusate un attimo: sapete mica come debba fare per evitare che la finestra di stampa (quella dove c'è la preview) mi esca dallo schermo? Al minimo della sua grandezza mi esce... Ho provato a cambiare risoluzione del monitor (quella del Gimp), ma niente. Non penso che sia da usare solo a 1440x720. Almeno spero. Cmq non riesco a cambiare la 800x600 perché mi dà un errore (per me indecifrabile, qualcosa che mi dice che il chipset (della scheda grafica suppongo...) non supporta quella modalità. Non riesco proprio a capire... Boh. Mentre la stampa è stata ottima. Altra (ennesima) doamanda: avreste mica un programma da consigliarmi per lo sharing (degli mp3 + che altro)? Ancora mille grazie a tutti CaMiX (Simone se preferite ;) )

Re: [newbie] rpmdrake problem
Ummm, I am aware that urpmi, is a dependency for Rpmdrake, and that urpmi does hold a dependency list for known rpms, but I don't think cilvileme is quite correct :-)) I have installed rpmdrake, without urpmi, and it has worked fine for me.

[newbie] PPPOE/Roaring Penguin/Network card
Hey everyone, I'm having problems getting my PPPOE connection going in Linux (MDK 8.0). Running ifconfig eth0, it would appear as though my network card is detected and functioning properly. Installed RP 3.0, and ran ./go (./go-gui wouldn't work for me for some reason, gave me problem when trying to open gui). ./go worked fine, but when i try to run adsl-start, it just ...'s until it times out. My modem lights don't even flash at this point, so it's gotta be in the configuration. In the control panel (can't remember what that thing is called right now, away from my computer presently), i've checked my network card, and i've tried giving it an ip of 0.0.0.0, or 198.162.0.1 (or other non-routable varients). Tried setting it to DHCP and to static. Removed the Load on boot or whatever it's called as the readme suggests. PNP OS was already set to no in my BIOS. The only thing that bugs me is that under Other Devices in the device-manager equivilant of kde, i have several things listed there all very non-descriptive (via somethingoranother). Any ideas as to how to get my PPPOE connection going? Thanks Scott

[newbie] Detect Libraries in Mandrake 8.0
Mandrake 7.2 configured my sound card correctly, though 8.0 didn't. But it was easy enough to go into HardDrake, select my sound card, select your sound card and click on Run Configuration tool and select the correct one. Hopefully Mandrake will fix this in the future.

My sound card, a Yamaha OPL3-SA2 inside a Toshiba Sattellite 2520CDT. The soundcard was previously detected under Mandrake 7.1, but not with 8.0. I understand that Harddrake relies on the Detect Libraries, i have considered replacing these with the earlier libraries from 7.1 but i have been told that this is not recommended. With the failure of Harddrake i inserted the correct module into the kernel, but when i pass on the Control IO of my soundcard to the module (0x370H) it complains that this IO is busy. Even so it gives me sound through the CD player in KDE, but does not play wav, mp3 or anything else really, including the event sounds for KDE. I checked my IO configuration and it says that my card is on 371H, not 370.

[newbie] sshd caused SLOW internet...?
I just did a fresh expert install and noticed that when doing FTP to either a machine on my LAN or on the internet doing an ls or a get would just hang for what seemed like forever before returning a response. I aslo noticed that connecting to Samba shares took forever too. And doing a ping to and internet site would timeout. I did a ps and killed and disabled 'firewall', since my linux machine is already behind a firewall, this didn't change the network slowness. I then killed and disabled 'sshd', again nothing changed. But when I rebooted FTP, Samba, and ping all worked great. I'm not sure what sshd is (besides being the 'secure shell daemon'), but would that have been effecting my FTP and Samba stuff? or was it the firewall daemon?

[newbie] Installing cdrecord
I am trying to follow the install instructions for cdrecord at http://sunsite.dk/linux-newbie/Linux_apps.htm#writing_cds.

Re: [newbie] organizing all sorts of data
askSam -- one of my all time favorite programs. (For those who don't know, it's a free format database, with excellent search capabilities.) There are possibilities, but nothing that I've found that is exactly like it. I found wikis, and TWiki in particular. They have the advantages over askSam of being networked and allowing collaborative editing by default. They have the disadvantages of being more difficult to set up and the search facilities not being as good. They also have a quirky way of creating links (and naming pages), but TWiki provides some alternates at the cost of more effort and less convenience. You can try a twiki by going to: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TWikiTutorial -- a tutorial to help you get started http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Test/TestTopic21 -- a twiki page where you can play http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiEngineReview -- a page on the original wiki where I started a review of various wiki engines (programs) before choosing TWiki A wiki runs on a web server (like Apache) -- any pc with a browser and a network connection to that web server (Internet, intranet, LAN) can view and edit the contents of the wiki. Many wikis keep a revision history of all changes to a page. TWiki supports attachments by default, and has plugins to support things like drawing pictures. It's not quite askSam, but in some respects it's better than askSam. I plan to start a wikiforum on SourceForge, and, when I learn how (or get a volunteer) I will implement a local search engine (like htdig, Alta Vista, Google, to provide improved search facilities. (The wikiforum will be called WikiLearn and it will be devoted to learning and using free and open source software like Linux, C++, Perl, ...) Let me know if you find anything better.

Re: [newbie] Star office problem
Hi Ivan, To the best of my knowledge, you cannot copy Windows fonts from Windows to Linux. This is most likely why you got the error. When selecting Windows fonts by using Drakfont, click on the Windows fonts button and select the Force option. You want to uninstall the present fonts and reinstall the Windows font via Drakfont. You have to remember that these Windows fonts in Drakfont were hacked. This is due to the fact that Microsoft owns the fonts. Since they have spent millions of dollars to get them just right, they will NOT share them or offer them to Linux. As far as mounting the NTFS partition, this is still under development ( as fas I am aware ). However, there are plans to add this to a later kernel. I think further investigation is needed.

[newbie]Odd KMail Problem
Dear All, I had some display problems and with your help I was able to fix them however a new problem developed immediately afterwards. I went to KMail to compose an email and discovered that my letter o key actually prints out a c in KMail now. All of the o's in the addresses are now c's and the KMail shows all of the o's as c's in the email addresses so that now I cannot receive or send mail at all through KMail. KMail was working fine until I changed my display through Xconfigurator today. I did not do anything except change my monitor which did give me the resolution I needed. I am typing this out from Netscape Messenger now since I no longer can use KMail. Does anyone know how I can fix this quickly? Thanks very much for your help. Sincerely, Marcia

[newbie] Internet Security
First of all, thanks to everyone who shared their opinions on working as root. I've printed out a bunch of messages and will be digesting them as time allows. For those who wondered why I need to be root so often, it's because I'm still very much involved in getting the system set up, installing programs, etc., and it seems I have to be root in order to do a lot of what needs to be done. Once the system is complete and has a chance to settle, I can handle working as user. But for now, it is very inconvenient. My priorities now are first, to firm up my Internet security; second, to get my Type 1 fonts working and available to applications; third, to figure out what's going on with the printers. Today I worked on Internet security. I tried some of the things suggested and frankly, I don't have a clue. I don't understand the directions, I can't find some of the things suggested, I can't deal with scripts, I don't have six months to take a course.g I read the How To's on network security and firewalls and they descended into geekspeak much too fast and far too deeply and I was lost. Remember, I'm your test case--the Windows user who wants to say good-bye to Microsoft but does not want to and will not become a command line/console sort of gal. Mandrake 8 claims to have me in mind.g Since I was stumped by the console approach, here's what I did in desperation to get my ports closed on the Internet. I ran draksec as root from a command line and when it came up, I set my security to Medium. I also ran BastilleChooser and picked the Medium level, no server option. Then I went on the Web and back to grc.com and sdesign.com to test my ports. At grc.com all my ports were closed, which was an improvement from when I tested before and my SMTP port was reported open. I turned off some startup process or whatever it's called that had something to do with mail transport. So okay, some progress. At sdesign.com I had fewer ports open than I did before, but I'm still seeing open ports at 631 (tcp) and 6000 (tcp X11). I got the same results whether I went online as root or as user. How can I get those ports closed? Clear directions much appreciated! If you tell me exactly where to look and what to edit, I can do it, but I can't figure it out on my own. I tried to run the interactive Bastille but I didn't understand the options and the explanations were much too sketchy. I don't like to make decisions like that when I don't understand what I'm doing. So I ran BastilleChooser instead and figure it's better than nothing. Why isn't Bastille on medium security closing all my ports? Thanks very much for any help you can give. --Judy Miner
Re: [newbie] curious ....
Sridhar wrote: I noticed that you said in an earlier post that you had trouble importing your fonts. Have you tried using DrakFont (part of the Mandrake Control Centre)? Of course. It's a very limited tool, but it did make some TrueType fonts available to the system and some of the programs are using them for display. They do look better than the dreadful defaults used otherwise. But it's not enough for printing or serious work. You don't get an acceptable character set, only ISO 8859 that does not include true typographic apostrophes, quotation marks, and other important typographic characters. KFontInst should do what I need to do with both Type 1 and TrueType fonts and I'll be able to select a proper character set, but I'm still puzzling out how to do the preliminaries as described in the KFontInst manual. Do you know how to get rid of all those ugly fonts that are listed in DrakFont? I tried highlighting them and telling DrakFont to remove them, but it wouldn't. Didn't tell me why, either. I would keep a Helvetica, a Times, and a Courier from the screen fonts listed and would like to dump the rest. I have added several TrueTypes for screen display. --Judy Miner

Re: [newbie] Internet Security
Remember, I'm your test case--the Windows user who wants to say good-bye to Microsoft but does not want to and will not become a command line/console sort of gal. Mandrake 8 claims to have me in mind.g While it's true that Mandrake may require less command line usage than other Linux distributions, I find it hard to imagine that MDK or anybody else would claim that you can avoid the command line altogether. And quite frankly, I don't know why you'd want to go without it. Linux is based on the command line. Its power and speed comes from the command line. Desktop interfaces are great, but you can't go without some understanding of Linux' blood and guts. Honestly, if you want to ditch M$ but aren't willing to become familiar with the command line, I think you should be looking at Macs rather than Linux. Don't get me wrong-I'm not trying to drive you away from Linux; I just think you seriously need to re-evaluate your attitude towards the command line. It can be demanding, but its really necessary, and well worth the trouble. So do the desktop thing, but don't cut yourself off from the command line. Miark

Now, when you use Netscape for Linux to get your mail, it will be written to the proper files on the Windows partition, and when you use Netscape for Windows, you will already see the mail sitting there! I did this with my Netscape bookmarks, and it worked perfectly. I haven't tried it with mail, since I use Eudora for Windows and kmail on Linux, but it should work. Dave On Saturday 30 June 2001 08:22, thus spake Jeremy NG: Hi Everybody, I always download all my messages from the mail server to my machine. Currently, I am using M$ Outlook to connect to my POP3 and SMTP servers. However, I am beginning to hate this setup as Outlook stores my messages in a proprietary format. This is definitely a real pain. Whenever I boot my machine to Linux, I cannot download my messages from the mail server as I do not know of any program in Linux that is able to insert the newly downloaded messages into the archive file of Outlook. Is there a mail client program that stores the messages in a platform-neutral format? It doesn't matter if I have to use different mail client programs on different OSes. I just want to be able to retrieve my mails to a common repository on my machine regardless of which OS I am running. Would appreciate any suggestions and how to convert my existing mails in the Outlook archive to the new format. Thanks! Cheers! (: J :) -- I have not failed.

[newbie] Open Websites With Mozilla Run Command???
When I type a URL in the Run Command box, I've got it setup that Mozilla opens by using it as default program to open HTML files by changing the File Associations, however when Mozilla loads it doesn't open the site, it just opens up the default start page. So if someone could tell me how I'd go about getting Mozilla to open up the URL I type in the Run Command, I'd appreciate it greatly.

Re: [newbie] Dial in?
Your email is confusing. You say you want to set Mandrake up to be a DialUp server, and then you say you want to dial from home to work and access software. Which exactly is it you'd like to do. tdh -- T. Holmes - UNIXTECHS.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Real Men Us Vi!

Mandrake 8 claims to have me in mind.g While it's true that Mandrake may require less command line usage than other Linux distributions, I find it hard to imagine that MDK or anybody else would claim that you can avoid the command line altogether. And quite frankly, I don't know why you'd want to go without it. Linux is based on the command line. Its power and speed comes from the command line. Desktop interfaces are great, but you can't go without some understanding of Linux' blood and guts. Honestly, if you want to ditch M$ but aren't willing to become familiar with the command line, I think you should be looking at Macs rather than Linux. Don't get me wrong-I'm not trying to drive you away from Linux; I just think you seriously need to re-evaluate your attitude towards the command line. It can be demanding, but its really necessary, and well worth the trouble. So do the desktop thing, but don't cut yourself off from the command line. Miark I concur with Mark's assessment, Macs probably will be more one's cup of tea if one doesn't wish to use the command line. Almost necessary to at some point. -- Cheers, Steve - ICQ 35454764 Toronto
Re: [newbie] Dial in?
i think he means he wants to set the server up at home so he can dial in from work? JOE
Re: [newbie] Dial in?
I am sorry for the confusion. My office machine is the Linux machine. My home machine is currently a Windows Me machine. As soon as I can make the office machine do as I need, I will make the OS change at home as well. On the office machine, there are files and programs that I do not and or cannot have at home. I need to be able to access and use them from time to time at home. Some of my co-workers will ultimately need to do the same for productivity reasons. I hope this clears up some of the confusion.
