Re: [newbie-it] portatile e scheda grafica
CUT ...ma vorrei chiederti se hai avuto problemi ad istallare Linux Mandrake 8 su un portatileio sì! Non mi riconosce la mia scheda grafica (sis 630/730), ovvero la risoluzione è solo 800x600 e lo schermo risulta disallineato (praticamente vedo solo 1/4 del desktop). Ha qualche consiglio?? Io non ho avuto problemi con il mio Toshiba Satellite 1800-100 ma, se può aiutarti, posso dirti che per utilizzare la risoluzione di 1024x768 la mia scheda video utilizza il framebuffer ... per cui funziona (alla meraviglia) se si utilizza il lilo grafico di Mdk 8 (che parte appunto con un'immagine che sfrutta il framebuffer e, attivandolo, lo rende disponibile per X). Se vuoi posso inviarti il mio file XF86Cofig chissà, forse modificando qualche parametro potrebbe funzionare. Ciao Marco

Per quanto riguarda il modem il mio è proprio HAMR5600 ma prima dovresti spiegarmi cos'è il RPM. Grazie. Marco Un RPM è un formato d'archiviazione introdotto nel mondo LINUX da Red Hat che facilita l'installazione, la rimozione o l'aggiornamento di singoli programmi o driver. Nel nostro caso è un driver per far funzionare il nostro Winmodem (funziona solo con driver scritti solo per Windows, essendo un soft-modem). Innanzitutto devi procurarti l'RPM in questione ovvero SLMDM-2.04-00_20mdk.src.rpm (e questo non è un problema ;-) ) Poi ricostruirlo con il comando da terminale: rpm --rebuild SLMDM-etc.rpm Se non vi sono problemi, alla fine nella directory /usr/ src/rpms/i686 (credo visto che hai un PIII) verranno creati tre files: 1 slmdm-2.04-00_20mdk.i686.rpm 2 slmdm-amr-2.04-00_20mdk.i686.rpm 3 slmdm-usb-2.04-00_20mdk.i686.rpm Fai partire X con il comando startx, apri Konqueror, vai alla directory su citata (usr/src/etc. etc.) e clikka prima sul RPM n°1: si aprirà Gestione pacchetti, clikka su installa ed attendi che abbia installato SLMDM . Poi ritorna su Konqueror e clikka sul 2° RPM (slmdm-amr-etc. etc.) visto che non si tratta di un modem USB. La prassi sarà la stessa di prima. Una volta installati gli RPM su citati c'è ancora una piccola cosa da fare: configurare il country del modem. Non ti spaventare: basta andare sempre con Konqueror alla directory usr/lib/slmdm/ e seleziona, clikkando con il tasto destro, il file m.info e aprilo con un editor di testo qualsiasi. Bisogna modificare la stringa CountryName=USA con CountryName=ITALY. Non è ancora finita. In modalità terminale vai alla directory /usr/lib/slmdm/ e digita ./load_slmdm. Sempre se non vi sono problemi verranno caricati i moduli per far funzionare il modem. Avvia KPPP e buona navigazione. Se non sono stato abbastanza chiaro scrivimi. per l'RPM posso allegartelo. fammi sapere.

Nel mio caso i caratteri erano abbastanza grandi e quando avviavo X avevo il tuo stesso problema con il video. Ho scritto molte volte a questa mail-list ma con scarsi risultati. Perciò ho capito che dovevo smanettare finchè non ne sono venuto a capo (forse con un pò di fortuna). Dopo quella accortezza durante l'installazione (visto i ripetuti upgrade e setup di linux) i caratteri al boot sono piccoli, mi parte aurora che prima non vedevo l'ombra pur avendola settata all'avvio, e finalmente posso vedere l'intero video senza andare alla cieca anche per spegnere il tutto. Oggi volevo capire meglio l'intervento da fare anche per non desiderati reinstallazioni. leggendo il file LILO.CONF notavo che al label LINUX vi è una stringa: vga=791. Controlla che anche a te è la stessa, altrimenti prova a cambiarla e in bocca al lupo. Non so se funzionerà con questa modifica che ti elimina il reinstallare linux di nuovo. Fammi sapere. Ciao Maurizio N.B. Molti amici mi hanno passato il loro XF86config, ma con scarsi risultati, anzi molte volte causando il blocco di linux (strano ma vero). Visto che condividiamo la stessa scheda grafica (SiS630) spero di esserti stato d'aiuto.
[newbie-it] mdk 8.0 si dimentica della stampante
salve a tutti, un piccolo problema. il sistema perde sistematicamente la configurazione della stampante. da mandrake control center setto la stampante come lp0 con il driver epson epl 5200 (utilizzo cups). tutto funziona a dovere e posso stampare. se spengo, quando vado a riavviare il sistema la stampante non esiste più: cliccando sull'icona printer del desktop di kde a volte non avviene nulla, altre volte esce un messaggio di errore che dice unable to connect to cups server. devo perciò ogni volta rilanciare il control center e riconfigurare la stampante daccapo. di cosa si tratta? come posso ovviare al problema? grazie e ciao carlo
[newbie-it] Sna
Antefatto: ho un rete token ring con windows nt 4 con sna server che mi collega ad un S/390 del ns. cliente per il quale sviluppiamo software, i terminali sono dei pc windows 95/98 che usano (ovviamente) sna client e personal communication di ibm. Alcuni mesi fa' ho portato in quella sede un server AIX con una scheda ethernet gia' funzionante, ed ho trovato piu' rapido (e soprattutto meno costoso) installare una mandrake corporate edition (praticamente una 7.2 modificata) con doppia scheda di rete ethernet/token per fare da ponte dai pc windows verso lo unix. Infatti il necessario e sufficente telnet passava alla grande. Adesso mi si e' creata l'esigenza di espandere la rete con altre 8 macchine da usare non verso AIX ma verso S/390 e qui mi nasce la questione: volendo evitare di continuare a montare macchine sulla token ring visto che le schede token costano un visibilio e si trovano piuttosto male, posso usare il linux come ponte verso i lserver nt ? Ovvero: il linux oltre al telnet mi fara' passare anche lo SNA ?

RE: [newbie] Video cards
ummm, Just my opinion, although I suspect that it will be reflected by others... 1. A P100 will have nowhere near the power to supply a geoforceII or III.,. and if you can aford one, why not update the whole system. 2. I have never seen a PCI geoforce, and Pentium systems never had AGP to my recollection. 3. I am surprised that you don't find the P100 and ram to be the bottleneck as opposed to the video card. 4. Is this a joke? I don't mean to be nasty, but this sounds like a joke.. There is very little benefit in putting a geoforce on a P100, (even were it possible) 5. are you sure this isn't a joke?? :-) From the testing I have seen, you need something like a 800mhz PIII/duron/athlon to get the most from a Geoforce.. the bus/cpu/ram all have to feed the card, and a P100 couldn't do that to any great effect.. get a voodoo banshee or something if you want to inprove your video, don't waste your money on a geoforce...

Re: [newbie] Running W$/DOS Apps on Samba
Yes, and no. If you install Windoze software from a Windoze machine onto a samba share, then yes, you can mount that share, and run the application, and save to that disk space from the windoze box. This is commonly done. If you're asking if you can run the app from the LInux box, then no, you can't do that, without special software.

Some of us refugees do appreciate the help very much, are not rude ever, no matter how provoked, and would prefer not to be tarred with the same brush as those who are rude and/or hostile. Frankly, as a lurker extraordinaire, I would rather associate with the guy who gave up an old video card than the one who chastised the big mouth. BUT.You are all very valuable and appreciated here.

As of right now it keeps saying you don't have permission to acccess this directory This error means one of two things: 1. Your httpd.conf does not contain a proper Directory entry for the directory you are trying to access. OR (more likely?) 2. The directory itself has the rong permissions. Any directory that Apache is to read from needs *at least* 0755 permissions. This is because Apache falls under the set of Other permissions (the last digit above), and it needs both read and execute on any directory it is going to access. Files within that directory must be at least 644, so that Apache has at least read-only access. Once you can access a directory, Apache should create an index for you automatically, if it can't find an appropriate index.* file. HTH, Dave - -- Nihil tam munitum quod non expugnari pecunia possit.

RE: [newbie] Video cards
Visionteck and PNY both have GeForce 2 MX400 64 meg PCI cards. I believe Visionteck also has a 32 meg GeForce 2 MX200 PCI card as well. Just my 2 cents. Oh, and a side story, kind of sums up Frank's post. One day several years ago, I walked into a Best Buy. I wanted to ask the customer service desk guys about a possible video card upgrade for a Pentium 60, not to be confused with a Pentium 66 MHz :^) Well one of the guys looked at me like I was a complete moron (which I was as far as computers went, especially hardware) and said I'd look into getting a new computer if I were you . . . Unless you want to speed up Solitaire. So, the moral of the story, save your money for a better box which will most likely include a better video card.

Re: [newbie] Login Manager
Check in /etc/inittab for prefdm (I don't remember where prefdm is, and I'm not near a linux box at the moment). Within that file, is the definition for which login manager you will be using. Just change it to the desired login manager kdm,gdm, or xdm...

Re: [newbie] Login Manager
You need to create a file /etc/sysconfig/desktop and just insert the line DESKTOP=GNOME (without quotes). There should be a setting in /etc/X11/prefdm that specifies gdm if the preferred desktop is gnome - I can't remember the details but I think the file is OK as it comes in LM 8.0, so all I had to do was create the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file.

Then I found demime which just strips it and attachments - including vcf's - before a message hits a list. Another solution might be to get the newbie list folk to use something like demime to strip the html...

[newbie] Help with CRON

Now on Solaris I would do it like this 59 23 * * 6 /my/script.sh /dev/null 59 = minute 23 = hour * = day of the month * = month of the year 6 = day of the week However, my search for cron help on Linux brought me here. http://linuxdoc.org/LDP/lame/LAME/linux-admin-made-easy/using-cron.html Here the format is as follows: minute hour day month year command Following this format how do I tell it to happen only on Saturday at 11:59pm. While I'm asking, how about this /etc/cron.daily, hourly, monthly, weekly ? The doc says just to drop your script in one of these directories and it will be run. When ? hourly, I can guess; but daily, monthly weekly. I mean will something in /etc/cron.weekly run the first second of each new week starting on Sunday ?
