[newbie-it] conti di dipendenze che non tornano
Attento, non e' che non li vede, presumibilmente quella versione di urpmi che hai gia' e' dipendente da quella sola versione gia' installata dei due pacchetti di kdegraphics (e quindi non compatibile con kdegraphics 2.2 o sup.). Quindi dato che urpmi a sua volta e' dipendente dai nuovi rpm e affini, devi installare versioni nuove di _tutti_ i programmi che dipendono dalle dipendenze :) In questo caso, a meno che non vuoi avere un sistema instabile ti consiglio di evitare il --nodeps, e di ricercarti una buona dozzina di pacchetti. Belle le dipendenze vero? :PP Proprio belle! Devo dire che speravo fosse più facile in quanto il pacchetto era preparato appositamente per MKD 8,0. Però mi sono un pò perso nella tua spiegazione. Devo aggiornare la versione di urpmi e di tutti i programmi di cui è dipendente? Davide
[newbie] package selection
i think this subject/idea came up b4 but i will go ahead and repeat it in my own words anyways. mandrake install's last step is to make a disk so u can repeat the install on several other machines. wouldn't it be a great idea if mandrake (or mandrake uses) could have ready made package selection disks (eg. dns server, sendmail, firewall, readily downloadable from a web site to a disk) for new users to jumpstart their servers? and yes i know, there is a wizard drake for things like this..but u got to get into x to start it and servers normally require a lighter memory load. thanks _ Do You Yahoo!?

Its an XML type setup where applications on different platforms in different languages can talk to each other using port 80 so as to eliminate firewall problems in corperate networks, (thats a really simplified explanation, there is alot more to it..)

RE: [newbie] Help me please.............Software Raid on linux for Newies Instructions. 10 easy steps.
Hi, These instructions are brief, and 7.2 tested, but should work much the same way with 8 and 8.1. your question was about mirroring which is slightly slower then a single drive, but you will have data redundency (same info on two drives.) RAID0 - splits data on to two drives for inproved performance. RAID1 - Mirror data on more then one drive to create redundancy. (slower) RAID2 onwards, mixes mirroring and striping to give benefits of both in different mixes, usually needs 3 or more drives. I will concentraite on the first two RAID inplimentations. 1. Hook both your drives up. 2. Boot from MDK CDROM and select Expert install. 3. Choose Diskdrake when you get asked. 4. Create a 20MB partition of EXT2 on drive1, and point it to /boot. (boot is tiny and doesn't benefit from Raid.) 5. Find the area on disk one that you want to be the first Raid-0 array, and select "Add to Raid" It will be called md0 by default (md means multiple disk) you can then set what level of RAID you want. leave the chunksize of 64k. (its the size of strips accross the drives. 64k is a good default for large and small files.) 6. Select equal size partition on drive 2. and "Add to Raid" select md0 for target. 7. Do the same on both drives with the swap, (ie create equal swap partitions on each drive creating md1 for both.. 8. Click the RAID tab in diskdrake click on the RAID arrays free space (md0)and choose REISERFS, (or whatever FS you want.) then do the same for md1 except select linux Swap.. 9. Set the mount point for md0 to / (ie the root partition). I think the swap will be allocated automatically. 10 Install linux as per normal from that point, MDK should do the rest for you. Thats it, when finished you will have your linux box booting in software RAID, if you chose mirroring it will be a tiny bit slower then one drive (because its writing data twice), but if you chose striping it will be probably 10-60% faster then a single drive. Hope that helps someone, I have written that as generic as I can in the hope that it will help more then one person. rgds Frank Frank HauptleNetwork Payment Solutions.

[newbie] Firewall and Proxy
Starting with Mandrake 7.0 I've now reached Mandrake 8.1 by updating. I'm very pleased with this version: Everything works fine: X with hardware acceleration, tv, parallel port scanner, cups, vmware etc. But there remains one problem: My second pc (pentium 133 mhz with MDK-8.0) uses the proxy wwwoffle, which runs on the 1st pc to connect to the internet. This works fine when I stop the firewall which I set up with DrakConf. But of course I want to use the firewall, because all tests say that it is very effective. How can I open port 8080 just for my 2nd pc? Many thanks for any hints Uli Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Consult man gpg for creating the keypair. Once this is done, to sign and/or encrypt you click on the appropriate icons in the KMail toolbar.

Re: [newbie] Unable to mount root FS on 07:07
I searched Google and other search sites as Sridhar suggested, and found little. Other folks have had this error, but none of the message threads included the solution. I did discover the actual error is best described by the line: request_module[block-major-7]: Root fs not mounted.

[newbie] DSL and 8.1, the saga continues
I'm still trying to connect my Mandrake 8.1 box to the Internet via an Earthlink/Mindspring DSL connection. I've gone over the various suggestions I've gotten from this list and others, done some reading and reconfiguring. I'm not there yet, but I'm closer. Here's what's going on: I'm using the rp-pppoe gui. When I start the link, the gui appears to connect, that is, it goes 'green'. However, I can't connect with either a Web browser, or any mail client. I have checked /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/ppp/resolv.conf and they have the correct entries for Mindspring's DNS servers. But, I CAN ping various web sites using their IP addresses. Now, an ifconfig brings up the following info: [root@localhost root]# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:DA:7C:BC:C7 UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:67 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:97 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:5849 (5.7 Kb) TX bytes:12355 (12.0 Kb) Interrupt:10 Base address:0xec00 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:347 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:347 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:39039 (38.1 Kb) TX bytes:39039 (38.1 Kb) I'm wondering if that 'lo' entry is the problem. My recollection of local loopback means that the PC is only sending IP to itself? I'm not sure why I can ping, unless the loopback doesn't apply to ICMP packets. In any case, if this is a problem, can someone tell me? Also, if it IS the problem, how do I get rid of it permanently? I've looked thru linuxconf and several man pages to no avail!

I've looked at all the documentation that I can find, but remain mystified and frustrated. Welcome to 'dependency hell', the largest known problem with RPM. Open source software prides itself on its high level of code reuse, leading to more rapid development and higher quality code. However, this requires all dependencies to be satisfied for an app to work 100%. The result is a complex web of dependencies which can be extremely annoying to resolve. There are four main ways to solve this: 1. The manual method This involves finding dependencies manually as required. http://www.rpmfind.net/ can be very useful for this purpose. 2. urpmi Mandrake have developed their own dependency resolution utility, urpmi. It can be accessed via the command line or through the Mandrake Software Manager. 3. apt-get Debian have developed the powerful apt-get system to do a similar job to urpmi. It has been ported to RPM from Debian's native DEB package format, and distributions like Conectiva use it as their main update tool. It has some problems with Mandrake and Red Hat RPMS, so is not part of the official distribution (it may be in Contribs). 4. rpm-get A command-line app designed to be similar to apt-get. It has been written specifically for Mandrake and Red Hat systems, and is part of the official Mandrake distribution. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan Help Microsoft stamp out software piracy.

What did you use to partition your drive? When you installed Mandrake did you repartition from scratch or did you resize existing partitions?

[newbie] File/Printer Sharing with Windows
I need to be able to have two-way file access with Windows machines on the same network as my Linux box. I also must be able to print from my Linux box to a printer connected to a Windows machine on the network. Someone suggested I look at Samba, but I'm having trouble finding how to install it. I'm pretty much a total newbie on Linux, so maybe some general help in this area would be helpful. What I have read about Samba so far seems to say that it is used for sharing files coming in and printers that are attached to the Linux machine, but I need two-way file sharing and the only printer is connected to a Windows machine and can not be moved. Will Samba do what I want or do I need to look elsewhere? Setup: two machines running Windows ME and one machine running Mandrake Linux 8.0 (the Power Pack boxed set if that matters), on a standard ethernet network connected through a NetGear RT314 router. The printer, a HP LaserJet 5p, is connected directly to one of the Windows machines and is shared for all machines on the network to use. All machines are also connected to the Internet through the router, which is connected to a 3Com 'tailfin' cable modem on a 768K/128K pipe. The Internet connection works fine under Linux, so I believe the network is setup and operating correctly on the Linux machine.

Re: [newbie] File/Printer Sharing with Windows
Hello: I believe Samba is the answer to your question. There are how-to's around explaining its' installation, but I ended up buying a book in the subject. It walked me step by step on configuring Samba properly, and more importantly, it had some very good trouble shooting advice. It also described many, if not all the options available. Among them, its' ability to allow a linux client to send a print request to a winbox. Now, in my case, I have my printers connected to my linbox, but I will quote from the book: It is also possible to use UNIX client machines to access printer shares installed on windows servers. This is achieved by adding a printer definition to the /etc/printcap file and configuring it to send all output through the smbclient program. All this work is done through a shell script that comes with Samba called smbclient. So there is hope. If you are interested, the name of the book is Special Edition Using Samba by Richard Sharpe with Tim Potter and Jim Morris, published by QUE. ISBN: 0-7897-2319-0. Good luck.
