Re: [newbie-it] modem usb + linux = :(
Salve a tutti, Io invece ho il modem Alcatel ADSL Speed touch USB (sul sito mandrake risulta supportato) e una versione Mandrake 8.0 da due CD, e al momento dell'installazione tale modem non risultava nella lista. Sapreste spiegarmi come si procede su Linux a ricercare un driver scaricarselo da rete (a questo punto dovrei farlo da Windows) e poi passarmelo sulla partizione Linux e farglielo digerire; qual'è il posto dove sono i driver ? e poi come si dice al proprio Linux di cercarsi il driver sull'Hard disc anziche sul CD di installazione ? La manovra è analoga a quella che avevo imparato su windows o è differente ? grazie Marco Fortini - Original Message - From: Marco [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 01, 2002 10:37 AM Subject: Re: [newbie-it] modem usb + linux = :( Hai scritto salve, allora io ho un modem adsl ericsson hm120dp usb (grazie telecom) vorrei sapere come riuscire a farlo vedere a linux (ho mandrake 8.1) grazie in anticipo ... facendotelo cambiare dalla telecom con un manta usb alcatel (da quanto ne so io quel modello dell'ericsson non è ancora supportato) Ciao Marco

Innanzitutto un augurio di felice anno nuovo a tutta la mail list. Ho recentemente installato sul portatile Mandrake 8.0, visto che sono riuscito solo a trovare i driver per il modem per il kernel 2.4.3, mentre sul desk ho RedHat 7.2. Entrambi hanno un scheda ethernet (portatile 192.168.1.1 desk 192.168.1.2). Col ping si riconoscono, con FTP pure. Volendo utilizzare konqueror (come usavo con windoz), alla cartella rete mi compare l'errore: nessun host trovato. Dove ho sbagliato, ho con Linux non è possibile condividere i file di due computer (non ci crederò mai!!!). A voi la soluzione se potete. Ancora saluti ed auguri Maurizio

Re: [newbie] A sound question!
Hi Mark, Well, if devfsd would have worked properly the devices would have been created dynamically. You should disable the devfsd alltogether as it fucks up in every way. You do this by taking out the devfsd mention from your lilo.conf file. After editing run 'lilo' off course. Then reboot. If you use cmd MAKEDEV you can re-create the missing devices. I have scsi ide buses and devfsd fucked up big time for me too. Guy. Mark Evans wrote: Hi I have found out today that I have /dev/sound/dsp set-up instead of /dev/dsp.

For a start you could try adding \n to the end of the string. That should

printf(Hello World!\n);
You should also be aware of one more funny thing that Linux does. After
running a.out, the hello world example, As soon as I type something,

It looks like the program never printed anything at all.

And if anyone DOES reverse-engineer the file format, then MS can sue them to smithereens, and even try to go for a prison sentence, since their EULA will carry the force of law. I can't seriously see this happening. Microsoft had enough political and economic clout to survive getting sued by Netscape et al., but they don't have the clout to sue Sun - it would be suicidal. Maybe. But they *could* sue OpenOffice.org, and probably shut it down, which would effectively slow, if not stop, development of StarOffice as well. I suspect the real reason for the paucity of .doc filters is that it is such a yucky format that writing a good filter is more trouble than it's worth. wv does a passable job but is far from perfect, and even Star Office only got it right with version 6.0. It is a yucky *and* an undocumented format. This means it requires anyone to reverse engineer it before they can write a filter for it. If you check the OpenOffice.org website, you will see that they were forced to re-write the MS Office filters from scratch, because the StarOffice filters were under an NDA from Sun. It wasn't because of MS licensing, but Sun itself was standing in the way (this may, on second thought, be a carry-over from Sun's purchase of StarOffice from the German Star company that originally developed the software). But here's another scary example, to which Civileme alluded: Samba. What will happen if/when UCITA passes in Washington state, and Microsoft sues the Samba team for reverse-engineering their proprietary software and network protocols? If we are lucky, Samba will be able to continue working outside the US, in one or more countries that are willing to largely ignore US extradition requests (or more accurately, that are so difficult to deal with that MS won't even bother). And any US-based Samba developers will need to leave the team, because MS can go after them individually -- again, for both monetary compensation and imprisonment. One need only look at Adobe's ridiculous actions with regard to Dmitri Sklyarov to realize that MS will not hesitate to try the same thing with any known Samba developer that they can reach. Civileme's further point, to which Doug balked, was that we should all be looking to move away from MS' (or anyone else's, for that matter) proprietary file formats, as a pre-emptive move so that we are not locked into yet another MS monopoly if/when UCITA passes. In our own self-interest, we should be changing to open file formats, like xml (which StarOffice 6.0 uses, by the way). We need .doc filters as a stopgap. No matter how often I tell my colleagues that I refuse to read .doc files, sometimes I just have to. XML is a reasonable lingua franca, but for my own purposes, I'm still a LaTeX man. I agree that we need the filters for now, but it would still be wise to stop using MS' proprietary formats ASAP. As far as using LaTeX, is there a free and easy to use LaTeX editor/word processor for Windows and Macintosh? Just curious -- actually, I thought LaTeX was a document layout/markup language for professional publishing, but not something typically used for word processing. I am betting you need to convert your documents to a different format for others (non-Linux users) to read, yes?

Re: [newbie] AOL CDROM help!
Well the error you quoted says that iso9660 is not supported by the kernel. Did you create a custom kernel? CD-ROM support must, I think, be explicitly excluded from a default configuration.

And if anyone DOES reverse-engineer the file format, then MS can sue them to smithereens, and even try to go for a prison sentence, since their EULA will carry the force of law. I can't seriously see this happening. Microsoft had enough political and economic clout to survive getting sued by Netscape et al., but they don't have the clout to sue Sun - it would be suicidal. Maybe. But they *could* sue OpenOffice.org, and probably shut it down, which would effectively slow, if not stop, development of StarOffice as well. I suspect the real reason for the paucity of .doc filters is that it is such a yucky format that writing a good filter is more trouble than it's worth. wv does a passable job but is far from perfect, and even Star Office only got it right with version 6.0. It is a yucky *and* an undocumented format. This means it requires anyone to reverse engineer it before they can write a filter for it. If you check the OpenOffice.org website, you will see that they were forced to re-write the MS Office filters from scratch, because the StarOffice filters were under an NDA from Sun. It wasn't because of MS licensing, but Sun itself was standing in the way (this may, on second thought, be a carry-over from Sun's purchase of StarOffice from the German Star company that originally developed the software). But here's another scary example, to which Civileme alluded: Samba. What will happen if/when UCITA passes in Washington state, and Microsoft sues the Samba team for reverse-engineering their proprietary software and network protocols? If we are lucky, Samba will be able to continue working outside the US, in one or more countries that are willing to largely ignore US extradition requests (or more accurately, that are so difficult to deal with that MS won't even bother). And any US-based Samba developers will need to leave the team, because MS can go after them individually -- again, for both monetary compensation and imprisonment. One need only look at Adobe's ridiculous actions with regard to Dmitri Sklyarov to realize that MS will not hesitate to try the same thing with any known Samba developer that they can reach. Civileme's further point, to which Doug balked, was that we should all be looking to move away from MS' (or anyone else's, for that matter) proprietary file formats, as a pre-emptive move so that we are not locked into yet another MS monopoly if/when UCITA passes. In our own self-interest, we should be changing to open file formats, like xml (which StarOffice 6.0 uses, by the way). We need .doc filters as a stopgap. No matter how often I tell my colleagues that I refuse to read .doc files, sometimes I just have to. XML is a reasonable lingua franca, but for my own purposes, I'm still a LaTeX man. I agree that we need the filters for now, but it would still be wise to stop using MS' proprietary formats ASAP.

Re: [newbie] c compiler and its problem in 8.0
What warnings are you getting?
Anyway, you need to add a return value unless you change to function from
int main() to void main(). void main() is considered to be bad
programming though. Add return 0; as your last line in the main()
function. That will return the integer value of 0 (zero) to the system and
is required if you use int main(). The int in int main() means that you
are returning an integer value to the operating system. You should have a
statement of #include stdio.h at the beginning of the program, also.
Usually, a compiler will complain unless you include a header file with the
function prototype and the compiler normally complains if you declare a
function with a return value but don't provide a return value statement
within the body of the function (the data types have to match also).

I have two cdroms installed - a TEAC CDRW and a generic cdrom that did not work in windows, so I am only concerned with with getting the TEAC to work. It was working OK with a default install of Mandrake 8.0. When I run HardDrake 3 cdrom devices are detected: 1) Model: 40X CD-ROM Device: /dev/hdd Bus Type: ATAPI/IDE 2) Model: CD-W58E Device: /dev/hdc Bus Type: ATAPI/IDE 3)Vendor: TEAC Model: CD-W58E Device: /dev/scd0 Bus Type: SCSI Seems that HardDrake is detecting the TEAC drive twice. Also, the TEAC drive is not a SCSI drive (I think I would have remembered installing a SCSI card and a big chunk of change leaving my bank account!) Here is my /etc/fstab that I have not edited: /dev/hda9 / ext2 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=iso9660,exec,ro,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0 /dev/hda7 /mnt/win_d vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win_e vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda8 swap swap defaults 0 0 In the boot log it looks like a SCSI driver is being loaded for the CD rom: SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices Vendor: TEAC Model: CD-W58E Rev: 1.0A Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Near the end of the log I found this: SCSI cdrom error : host 0 channel 0 id 0 lun 0 return code = 2800 Info fld=0x10, ILI Current sd0b:00: sense key Illegal Request Additional sense indicates Illegal mode for this track I/O error: dev 0b:00, sector 64 isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=0b:00, iso_blknum=16, block=16 SCSI cdrom error : host 0 channel 0 id 0 lun 0 return code = 2800 Info fld=0x10, ILI Current sd0b:00: sense key Illegal Request Actually, the lines Additional sense... to Info fld=0x10... is repeated five or six times. Also, when I do a ls hd* in /dev hdc is not there but when I look for SCSI devices I find scd0. Any ideas on what I need to do to get the CDrom working? I know this is a lengthy message but I wanted to include all the information that someone who really knows hardware and Mandrake would need.

Sun licenses the file formats from MS, don't they? They didn't reverse-engineer them, I thought. Nope, they are reverse-engineered. That's why it has taken so long for the filters to reach their present level of quality (which is very good). Calling it reverse engineered is a little of a dangerous reach, (in my HUMBLE opinion), my guess is a lot of the info is from APIs released by M$, to allow third parties to be able to write macros and other programs that will work with M$ applications, the rest would be obvious to someone studying, say, word processor programing. I don't say this lightly, or with any reservation or apology at all. I think it's past time to just tell MS to take a fly leap on a rolling donut and move away from them in mass. For some it may be a bit difficult, but not impossible. If we don't we've only got ourselves to blame for the feeling of being held hostage by their proprietary systems. I for one am going to begin recommending, and loudly, to my superiors that its time we begin productivity migration away from MS. There just isn't any future in it. O, well, _their_ future, but certainly not one of choice and freedom. Just to add my experience with M$ bondage: ALL my documents, in their original format, were in MS Word for Windows 2.0c format. Some I had used in Ventura for DTP. When I decided to switch to LM 8.0, I was left in a quandry. All those documents had to be converted. Unfortunately, W2W 2.0c file format cannot be imported directly in StarOffice 5.2. If I had not made a firm decision to continue with LM, I would have backed out because of this major import problem. Luckily, I could import rtf -- so converted all the documents. My Win partition awaits to be deleted (the kids use it for Caesar III). As far as businesses are concerned, most have upgraded to Word 95/97 etc. So, if the switch would be relatively painless. When I ran my publication, it was a constant struggle to get different programs to work together (in WIn 3.1) . With Linux, I've had few problems, aside from learning a new OS. StarOffice, though it's sort of slow, allows me to plan what I'm about to do -- at least I have time to grab a coffee while it loads! From my limited business experience, I would not trade the stability, ease of use, and functionality of LM, for all the glitz and promise of continuous reboots that I had encountered with M$ products. Furthermore, the threats of forced upgrades, dubious registration tactics, and cost of operating MS might tip the balance for other businesses to switch from MS. It's just a question of time. I agree that there isn't any future in it -- but getting businesses to take that first step. . . . Have a Blessed New Year!

[newbie] knewsticker size of scroll
Hi, I have knewsticker set up nicely and it even calls up Konq when I click on a link. However, my taskbar has grown and knewsticker gets pushed over to the far edge. There is just enough visible to barely see a scrolling series of messages. There are 2 arrows that shift the taskbar in order to see more of what is being hidden. However, when I use the arrows to 'expose' more of the scroll window, it doesn't. I get some nice empty real estate but I can still only see a small sliver of knewsticker.

[newbie] Slave drive question
I installed a 20 gig slave drive that had windows on it and mounted it with diskdrake. The question I have is, the drive was a 20 gig and when I open Disk Free it shows both of the windows drives and where it says size it shows and incorrect number. One drive is 157Mb and the other is 2.29Gb with the 157Mb being 100% full and the 2.29Gb at 38.9%. This must be incorrect because the drive is a 20 gig. Is there something I am doing wrong here? Also, is it possible to mount the two windows drives (C D) anywhere I want? When I mount them it gives me a list to pick from but I want to be able to mount it to where I want.

With a cardreader, I can convert that machine, at least to dual boot, and I don't think I'll hear any more whining.
