Quando arrivi a dover indicare dove registrare il file e con quale nome, indica la stessa cartella e nome della volta precedente. A quel punto il Konqueror si accorgerà della presenza in quella posizione di un file di download parziale, e ti chiederà se vuoi sovrascrivere, ripristinare o annullare. Clicca su ripristina e il gioco è fatto. Ovviamente, a patto che il server da cui stai scaricando supporti il resume.

[newbie-it] g++ (gcc) e includes
Ciao a tutti. Dato che sto cercando di usare il compilatore g++ (gcc) e non sono un esperto di linux vorrei sapere se qualcuno sa dirmi dove sono le directory degli include per le librerie che vengono utilizzate per default e dove/come eventualmente si impostano. Questo lo chiedo perchè il compilatore mi dice che non è in grado di trovare io.h quando scrivo #include io.h. So che si possono definire con l'opzione '-I' ma mi aspetterei che gli header standard vengano rovati senza bisogno di dirlo esplicitamente. Ho provato a cercare con un find /usr -name io.h -print ma me ne trova più d'uno, quale è quello giusto? Qualcuno sa darmi chiarimenti o consigli su dove reperire tali informazioni? Grazie e ciao 8-)

Ciao a tutti. Sentendo qualcuno di voi mi sono incuriosito e ho scaricato Corel Photo Paint 9 da linux.corel.com. Ho eseguito l'installazione (molto semplice, stile winzozz), ma quando lancio il programma questo invia un messaggio avvertendo che non può essere eseguito mancando FontTastic, server di font (tra parentesi, cosa vuol dire font server?). Allora ho provato a installare il pacchetto di 'sto FontTastic (che era nella directory del programma) ma niente. Il gestore degli rpm dice che FontTastic non può essere installato perché in conflitto con initscript-5.82-10mdk. Qualcuno ne sa qualcosa? Sapete in genere come risolvere conflitti tra pacchetti rpm?

Still, I did notice what appeared to be a memory leak which was really a bad install not long ago.

You don't want to switch buffering off - the kernel will release the buffers as programs request memory. Linux also doesn't really need to use a defragmentation program either.

Re: [newbie] filenames with spaces causing error in script
Bascule, Spaces in filenames are a major pain for shell scripts for precisely the reason you suggest. Unfortunately, I'm currently on a business trip in Korea, so am a week away from getting back to my Linux box at home to give you a more definitive answer. However, first reaction is to try something with awk as follows: ls *.wav | awk . In that way, ls will return one file name per line (i.e. separated by \n) on which you can then do all sorts of things in awk (including running commands like lame). Sorry this is vague - it's 13 years since I've written an awk script. Have a play, read the man and if you're still not cutting it, let me know and I'll have a play next weekend. Good luck!

Re: [newbie] samba functionality query
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you want to restrict what programs the user can run/install, samba could minimize this if you restricted access to any folders on your file/archive server which contain the applications. A good firewall, running Squid AND SquidGuard, could prevent them from downloading programs, as it can be configured to restrict/deny the ability to download. That's exactly what I'm using it for on 2 of my firewalls. But I don't believe that samba or any other Linux-based program can prevent a windows98 PC from running a program that is currently installed on that Windows98 client. Besides, any program that cold prevent it, could easily be circumvented by users downoading a password crack . We tried using about 5 or 6 Security programs for Windows, and they were useless. As soon as someone downloaded a cracker program, all security on the Windows98 clients was compromised. After setting up Mandrake SNF, I cheerily set up Squid and SquidGuard, and voila! The downloads stopped, therefore the password cracks stopped. The only other option would be a Thin-Client network, where all programs are contained on, and run from the server, thus giving you absolute control over what they can/can't do on the Clients.

FW: [newbie] Idea for Open Source Developers..
actually, I didn't mean just anyone doing it.. I meant preferably the writer of the software in question, or people like Mandrake ie a trusted authority... Also, since the are already vunerable,,, they are already in the worst possible scenario maybe something similiar but different then... Say there are some servers somewhere, possibly M$, but not necessarily, and these servers listen for scans from servers with the IIS code red exploit that are scanning for other servers to infect... The servers in question (possibly microsoft, or someone like securityfocus), then these listening servers patch the compromised IIS servers for them They were not attacking as such, they were responding to an attack,, and if we look at the last thread, the php script that shutdown the server, patching it is a much nicer alternative it doesn't take the server down, and will stop the servers owner from having potentially much worse things happen later. I was initially thinking the other day, that I should modify the php hack that was posted to this list, so that it does a reverse DNS on the attacking servers IP and then tries to make some (lets say 30 - 50 educated guess's as to the sysadmin or other email address's on the server,, and send them off) They might ignore 1 email, and they might ignore 5 emails, but would they ignore 50 emails? or say for example, the php script keeps sending emails until a set time period has passed (say a total of 150 small txt messages or something) If the sysadmin still hasn't done anything about it, and the server is still scanning mine, then it would be shut down via the exploit... I think that is not only fair, its considerate... People still think they can just unpack a server, stick it up and forget it.. (usually business people) I still know of a company that have NT4 SBS4 servers with only service pack 3 and no updates on them I try to inform them, they think that it won't happen to them, and that they would rather worry about it if it happens then beforehand... That is wrong... and the only way to convince them its wrong, would be to do something like I described... Then they would realise that it is necessary to update as part of the cost of the setup in the first place... until then, there will always be heaps of exploits out their waiting for someone to fall over them.. The question to ask yourself for example, if you were running RedHat 6.2, would you start and run the default Wu-ftp available to the internet???

Re: [newbie] memory buffering and disk defragmenter

Re: [newbie] memory buffering and disk defragmenter
packages except games at the package selection prompt. At the video settings I choose the normal 16 color with 600 * 800 without 3D acceleration. If you have the resources (i.e., a modern video card with sufficient (2 meg) video memory, you really should pick a higher resolution. X (and therefore kde) doesn't run well and looks particularly ugly with only 16 colors to choose from. KDE is fairly color-intense, which means that there simply won't be enough colors for all the stuff. (X allocates colors differently than what you might be used to - if say one app takes a particular shade of blue, that color is no longer available to any other app that you may want to run at the same time. tell how much memory I have. It usually takes about 30mb for buffer and leaves about 2 ~ 3 mb free. Free memory is wasted memory, and you'll find that if you open other apps, then some of the free memory (and some buffers) will be taken over by the other app. That there is ca. 30 megs in buffers when you boot into KDE is likely because the kernel's noticed all the disk activity inherent in loading up KDE up to the point where you can go to a konsole and type 'free'. Would it take less memory if I try to disable some of the startup services? Yes. KDE does take a lot of memory resources. You need at least 64megs to run it well, and 128 megs is desireable.

Re: [newbie] ip masquerading, help
Yes, the server computer must be running whenever either computer wants to connect to the internet. If it's not, the network cards don't work, and the tcp/ip protocols on thserver aren't enabled, thereby eliminating the Internet coneection. That's one of the big reasons that many people find an old 486 or early generation Pentium pc and set it up as the Internet server or Gateway/Router. The only way around this is as I suggested or to by an actual router and configure it to do the same job as your windows box. One of the nice features of using an old PC is that there are a large number of linux-based gateway/routers that can also be used to act as a firewall, thus protecting you from most types of hacks. You can also run a web-site on many of them. Lanman On Sunday 16 September 2001 02:19 pm, you wrote: is it true that i have to have the server comp.

Re: [newbie] CD drive
From a root console, type the following command; mount /mnt/cdrom when you're done with the cd, re-open a console as root, and type; umount/mnt/cdrom When you set up mandrake, you probably didn't enable supermount. That's probably your problem. It means that you'll have to use the above procedure until you re-install. However, I'm sure that I can help you edit the fstab file located in the /etc folder on your linux drive. Locate the file, and attach it to an email. Send it directly to me, and I'll see if I can edit it for you, then return it to you. Once you get it back, copy it back into your /etc folder (make sure you rename and save your existing fstab file first!), then type the command ; mount -a at a root prompt. That will apply your new fstab file, and should enable automount-ing.

Again, I don't remember having to do this when I ran Epplets as a user, but go ahead and mkdir it, what's the harm? :) BTW, in case you don't already know, Sourceforge now has an E-Users ML, so that people like me who don't really understand much of what the people in the E-Devel ML are talking about have a place for QA.

Re: [newbie] fetchmail pine not receiving (still)
Hi! I had good guidance from this list recently and have got fetchmail and pine both installed and configured (although clearly I'm missing something). I'm running Mandrake 8.0. I can send mail but can't receive from the Linux box. Out of curiosity last night I tried setting up Mozilla to retrieve mail for me and it happily retrieves all the mail I want. However, Pine maintains that there are 0 messages in the inbox, regardless of how many messages have piled up . . . It appears to be the same problem that I had before setting up Mozilla, and Mozilla isn't set to get messages until I tell it to get them, so it isn't like Mozilla is hoarding all the inbound mail, so that Pine actually has no mail to report. Pine gets its chance but just doesn't seem to find mail. I assume that fetchmail is not finding mail, somehow. Could it somehow be looking in the wrong location?? Regarding fetchmail, if I set up a .fetchmailrc and ask it to poll for mail.home.com (I'm on the @Home cable system) it complains bitterly that this can't be found cannonically on the DNS server. If I remove the mail. at the front (which violates all sample .fetchmailrc files I have seen) it still can't get any mail. If I use commandline fetchmail home.com it then asks me for a password for the correct username and @home.com but then it just hangs and never gets back to me after I enter the password. Does anyone have an idea as to what might be happening here or is my question too big (ie. too many possibilities to answer anything)? (I'm definitely closer to my goal than before!)

Re: [newbie] MODEM
As others have stated, ideally, you would use an external or real internal modem (versus a Winmodem). That said, either of those options tend to be expensive. I have had very good luck with several several different brands of Winmodems that are based on the PCTel chipset. There are drivers on the internet for it, and it's simple to compile and install them. Being a Winmodem, they also work fine with Windows 98. The best news, is that they are very inexpensive. I just purchased another one for $6 (plus $9 shipping) from www.pcbuyerclub.com. There is a link for the drivers on www.linmodems.org. I believe it is called Jan's PCTel Resources.

RE: [newbie] Java Development kit
well, JDK and SDK, I suppose, are used synonymously. JDK contains the JRE plus the compilation and other tools which makes it the JDK. For linux - the process is same - download the rpm (which probably be a .bin file). run it from the shell - it will ask you to accept the license and extract the rpm for you. you can install this rpm then. the difference between the rpm version and the jdk for win2k is the native code for the platform. navin -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Siavash Sefidvash Sent: Monday, 17 September 2001 9:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Java Development kit Hi, I have just started a Java course and visited the sun website in order to download the development kit.

Re: [newbie] Still fighting w Fetchmail Pine to receive
Hi! Summary -Mandrake 8.0 -Postfix to send -Fetch to fetch -Pine to do the other stuff -Problem: Can send mail, cannot receive -BTW: I can receive mail by other means, but I need to set up fetchmail/postfix/pine so I can serve and filter mail in the near future. Details of Query: I think that my problem boils down to permissions (at least for the moment). In pine I got a mail that I somehow generated directly (since I can't access anything over the Net) and when I try to delete it I get a message saying that the folder is read only. Not good. However, the folder is something called INBOX. It maps to a folder and file for which I think I have permissions (read and write). So somewhere is the configuration for INBOX. So far I have not found it although I will continue to search via the Pine Config option. . . In the meantime if anyone has any suggestions I would seriously love to hear them, whatever they might be. At this point I would willingly try incantations, magic potions, a bit of Nostril-damus, whatever. Cheers! -w (those little blood vessels in my forehead are distended.)

Re: [newbie] Still fighting w Fetchmail Pine to receive
-Mandrake 8.0 Good -Postfix to send Good -Fetch to fetch Good -Pine to do the other stuff Good. -Problem: Can send mail, cannot receive 1. Did you run fetchmail with the -v parameter? That is the verbose / blabbermouth option. See if there is mail coming in. -v will tell you. And also specify keep there, so mail will remain on the server and you can pull it a second time in case it ends up in the bitbucket on your machine. 2. Fetchmail hands incoming mail to the mail system (Postfix in this case). Is Postfix set up to handle incoming mail and deliver it properly? I had this problem also, and decided to switch to enabling SMTP in postfix (/etc/master.cf IIRC.) After changing the config, do a service postfix reload 3. Check www.postfix.org for the FAQ. You need to make sure that Postfix is setup correctly, the localdomain, mydomain etc things are kind of confusing at times to set up, even when getting it to run should be very simple (it was for me). 4. If you can't use SMTP in postfix, I suggest you go for getmail, a python script that pulls mail from as many pop servers you want. It is Really Good, I use it for several pop-servers that I can't do with SMTP. Find getmail at www.qcc.sk.ca/~charlesc/software/getmail-2.0/ I think that my problem boils down to permissions (at least for the moment). In pine I got a mail that I somehow generated directly (since I can't access anything over the Net) and when I try to delete it I get a message saying that the folder is read only. Not good. However, the folder is something called INBOX. It maps to a folder and file for which I think I have permissions (read and write). So somewhere is the configuration for INBOX. So far I have not found it although I will continue to search via the Pine Config option. . . Usually mail will arrive in a file called /var/spool/mail/yourname cd to /var/spool/mail and ls -l to see the owner and permissions there The pointer to where the mail is _is_ in .pinerc somewhere, I just don't recall where. In the meantime if anyone has any suggestions I would seriously love to hear them, whatever they might be. At this point I would willingly try incantations, magic potions, a bit of Nostril-damus, whatever. H.

Re: [newbie] Still fighting w Fetchmail Pine to receive
Sounds like you don't have fetchmail configured correctly to download mail. Did you use fetchmailconf or did you create your /root/.fetchmailrc (or /etc/fetchmailrc) by hand? Here's the format I use in my /root/.fetchmailrc. # Configuration created Sun Apr 29 13:18:35 2001 by T. Holmes set postmaster postmaster set nobouncemail set no spambounce set properties set daemon 10 poll mail.domain.com via 10.0.0.1 with proto POP3 user 'userID' there with password 'passwd' is userID here options fetchall warnings 3600 antispam 571 550 501 554 That's what I have in my /root/.fetchmailrc. Make sure the permissions for the file is 0710, then use a command like fetchmail -d 180. That will tell fetchmail to run as a daemon, every 180 seconds, or 3 minutes. From there, you should be downloading mail. As for your pine problem... personally I would suggest to stop using pine. :0) It's a resource hog, and I don't like how it handled mail. But basically it should be getting your email from $MAIL, which in Mandrake's case, that is /var/spool/mail/$USER The permissions for that should be 0600, and should be owned by the $USER and the group should be mail. Check those things out. That should be a start for ya. tdh -- T. Holmes - UNIXTECHS.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Real Men Use Vi!
