Re: [newbie-it] Directory del Kernel
Grazie Mike per il consiglio, ho subito provveduto ad investigare e considerando che sono un neofita ho trovato questo: Mandrake 8.0 l'ho installato con i CD di installazione, dunque se ha usato il sorgente o no io questo non lo so. Allora ho guardato nel software manager per vedere se c'era qualcosa tipo: Kernel, src o .config (Immagino che il file sorgente è del tipo src); comunque nè sulla root, nè sui cdrom ho trovato il KernelXXX.src.* o cose del genere. A questo punto mi domando: io penso di essere in grado di trovare in rete dei file del tipo: Kernel XXX.src.rpm, ma che io sappia se 'downloddo' un .src.rpm poi sulle mie directory o resta come sta o lo lancio, ma se lo lancio faccio qualcosa di più che depositare un sorgente sulla /usr/src/linux. Se lancio un kernel.rpm immagino che reinstallo il kernel, cosa che in questo momento è già presente e configurata. Dunque se per installare un driver devo scendere fino al sorgente del Kernel mi sottometto volenteroso a questo sacrificio, dunque la nuova domanda è: non avendo trovato traccia del sorgente sulla root e sui CD, cosa devo scaricare da rete e cosa ci devo fare ?

[newbie] Newbie Problems with Fujitsu/Siemens Celvin EasyPC Mandrake 8Install, Apple Talk and More Problems.
Hi again, It is good to be back on the list again after an involuntary absence of over five months, due to a certain unnamed moving company %$#!* that couldn't figure out to deliver my families things, including our computers. I have tried to do a dual install (Win98 SE (UK)/Mandrake) on my daughter's Fujitsu/Siemens Celvin EasyPC (legacy free). The EasyPC has no serial or parallel ports. Everything, including floppy drive, keyboard, etc. is USB based. All went fine until monitor and video card config (expert mode). Mandrake reported the card as an SiS 620, while in Win it is listed as a SiS 530. The monitor is an IBM P50. No configuration of monitor worked correctly with either video card setting. Everything else worked amazingly well, including access to an HP DeskJet 660 C over a USB/parallel adapter and Wacom Tablet (USB) drivers. Looked in the archives and found no mention of Celvin, EasyPC or legacy free. Any ideas or advice? The second issue is that I would like the Celvin to serve Apple Talk, but I don't believe that the macutils in the Mandrake 8 Power Pack is enough to do this. I seem to remember that I need to install some sort of Apple Talk server, but I don't believe it is on the CD's Help anyone? The third and following issue is OT, but has relevance for all on the list trying to understand how X and Linux works: I have a question about entering monitor resolutions in advanced mode in Yellow Dog Linux version 2.0 on a UMAX Pulsar, which is a Macintosh computer clone. I am determined to get this to work, and yes I know that the Pulsar isn't supported. However, everything seems to work fine in the install, but I keep getting hung up on monitor resolution. There is no test mode as in many Linux flavors and something doesn't work right with the video card (Matrox Millennium) and monitor (Apple Multiple Scan 15AV Display) combination. In Mac OS 9.1, the monitor resolution is usually set at 832x624 resolution at 75Hz, but settings show that I also could set the monitor at 832x624 resolution at 85Hz, 800x600 resolution at 85Hz, 1024x768 resolution at 60, 67, 74.9 or 85Hz or at 640x480 resolution at 60 or 85Hz. I have the alternative of creating monitor prefs in YDL in advanced mode, but I admit that I don't fully understand it. In advanced mode, I am required to fill in a cluster of numbers, four for horizontal resolution and a cluster of four numbers for vertical resolution. If we take my default resolution in OS 9.1, this would look like this: Horizontal resolution: 832 000 000 000 (they can also be 4 digit #'s) Vertical resolution:624 000 000 000 The first number is the resolution in pixels, where as the second and third represent sync pulse. The fourth represents frame length or border width. I may also need to know the dot clock resolution and refresh rate (requires X dot clocks). According to the manual, the Apple Multiple Scan 15AV Display has a resolution range of 640 x 480 to 1024 x 768 and with a 0.28 mm dot pitch, but is dot pitch the same as dot clock? The problem is that I do not know where to get the information I need to fill in the other numbers for horizontal and vertical rez, as well as dot clock (should I need it) for an Apple Multiple Scan 15AV Display. Help, please! I have been working off and on with this issue for months now! Cheers, Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Getting my dial-up working - and lots of basic Qs
Hi, I am new to Linux Mandrake, but am very fortunate to have had excellent help in setting up my system, which looks great and most of the hardware is working including the winmodem! Now i am here needing to learn some very basic moves! And i do it by trying stuff out... We did not quite get my access to the ISP working in the setup, but using another name isp we did confirm that the modem was working. Now i have been trying to figure out how to revisit the configuration for the connection. Played around in my user incarnation in KDE looking for a place to start... but it told me I needed to be root (for something) probably foolishly did that and did get into a place where i cld set up my isp dialup --- it only had one --- default. I fiddled in there but then got out. Later logged in again with my user ID and figured out how to get into kppp and found the three connection settings we had used before. Now if i try any of them i get a message: Sorry the Modem is busy If i click the Internet icon on the desktop I get another message: kppp has detected a /home/walter/.kde/share/apps/kppp/kppp.pid file. Another instance of kppp seems to be running process-ID 3323. Make sure that you are not running another kppp. delete the pid file. and restart kppp. I cant seem to get into .kde from /home/walter/ using either Konqueror or the bash shell... what is .kde/ etc. ? ~~~ Lots of basics here ... any clues or suggestions will be much appreciated.

[newbie] Lost KDE Media Player (noatun)
Hello, Things were going quite nicely. I was considering trying to learn one of those things that allow you to play windows games in linux so I could delete my windows partition and give linux the full drive. Then I boot into Linux this morning and try to load KDE Media Player (noatun) from KDE's menu and it gives me monoscope instead! I don't have any idea how that happened, but I tried clicking on a saved playlist and it again loads monoscope. Then I use the run menu option and type noatun and it still gives me monoscope! I notice that the little place on the bottom bar says it is loading noatun but it gives me monoscope every time. This is highly annoying, to say the least. I have been slowly putting my cd's in the computer as mp3's so I can listen without swapping cd's. I have also discovered the beauty of custom playlists allowing me to put my songs in my order. Then I discovered Bearshare in Windows and realized I could sample songs from cd's I don't have yet to see if I would want to buy it. Not much radio in my area so this is very nice so I am not buying blind. I don't _think_ I directly screwed anything up. I did click on an rpm and a program came up and installed it for me, but I don't think that would cause this as the program was lopster (not related to the other two programs). Any ideas on what happened or how to fix? I must assume that I have somehow deleted noatun and put monoscope in its place with noatun's name, but that doesn't make sense! -- Wes Gregg [EMAIL PROTECTED] Registered Linux User # 252649 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Extra Programs on Installation CD's
Hello, Someone recently told me about Lopster which is on one of the 8.1 Powerpack cds. Ok, they included which cd it was so I found it was an rpm and clicked on it from a file browser and it loaded the rpm installation program and installed it. Sweet, no sweat. Then today I checked into one of the package tools in the config menu and it gave me a list of programs (2 lists - installable and installed) and Lopster wasn't on either list even though it is installed (I just don't know how to use it). This behavior leads me to think there may be other programs on the cds that aren't mentioned anywhere. Is there a good way to browse them and any way to tell what kind of program they are and what they do without actually installing them?

Re: [newbie] Extra Programs on Installation CD's
i've never had a powerpack but it sounds like not all your cds are included as 'sources' in urpmi and rpmdrake if you open rpmdrake - that's 'software manager' and look under 'define sources' you will probab;y see only 2 or 3 defined and you will also be able to define new ones, do this for each of the other cds bascule On Sunday 13 January 2002 6:03 pm, you wrote: This behavior leads me to think there may be other programs on the cds that aren't mentioned anywhere.

[newbie] harddrive swap
Hi everyone, Right now, I have Linux Mandrake installed on Computer2 (PII-266 256MB Ram, etc) and Win2000 installed on Computer1 (Athlon 900 512 MB Ram, etc). My question is, I know windows can handle it if you take the harddrive out of Computer1 and put it in Computer2 and boot to it. It will detect all the new hardware and such. Will Linux be able to handle the same (ie. taking the harddrive from Computer2 and putting it in Computer1 to boot to)? Thanks, Tony Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] StarOffice: Hyphens Spelling
I've finally completed my novel. To my horror, SO5.2 absolutely refuses to hyphenate properly. It drops words like I'll rendering them as I NextLine'll. Most often it drops one letter or two, and in particular, anything with an apostrophe. The spelling check gives me OK for everything - typos, and even grossly misspelled words. I can't trust it. When I did my last re-write, the autospeller kicked (mysteriously), and somehow disabled the standard speller. I've searched the help system in SO5.2 to reset it, but to no avail. Somehow, these errors must be related. Can anyone help me on this? Tia, Andre -- Please pray the Holy Rosary to end the holocaust of abortion.

There is some flexibility in how you want it to scan, but not a lot. Enough for most people, I suspect. Unless you are running a mail server for Windows clients (esp. Outlook), you won't need a virus scanner.

[newbie] Doubts with compiling an Ethernet pcmcia driver.
My MDK8.1 have informed me that may ehternet card (pcmcia) is an Asix AX88190 Fast Ehternet card. After going to Asix Corp web site I got the linux driver for it. The package consists on 2 scripts, readme.txt, pcnet_cs.c (C source file) and other crazy file. The readme.txt is very strange to a Linux newbie, and (in realy) I don't know what to do with these files. I suppose that after compiling something, something should apear at DrakNet combobox (at ehternet kernel module) and the only thing to do is select it, but the things don't happen like this. Can any one help me with this ? I realy apreciate some clue. Thanks in advance. Marcos.

if the readme is not a bit long maybe you could post it here to give an idea on where the problem lies. or just hope that civileme or somebody who have the same card is reading your post and can provide some tips. ciao!

Re: [newbie] Sources for RPMs
Chris, There certainly is a new version of evolution out - I'm writing this using it - very nice, although I've seen a couple of crashes. Never seems to lose data in the process though, so they are benign so far. Anyway, in the last Mandrake newsletter, the following appeared: ---snip Spotlight on Evolution 1.0 Great news that should help the progress of Linux in corporate environments: In early December, Ximian, Inc. announced the availability of Evolution 1.0. Evolution is an email and personal information manager that features a calendar, address book, and task list built under the GNOME desktop environment. Evolution 1.0 provides: * Powerful Email Handling: * Flexible Calendaring and Collaboration * Integrated Information management * An additional Pilot package that provides built-in synchronization for keeping data up-to-date with Palm handheld devices.

When I called up StarOffice 5.2 in KDE, it froze in the loading with the title panel, which I could not get rid of without logging out. I uninstallted SO5.2 and reinstalled it, but it is doing the same thing. Anybody know what the deal is? Appreciate any help.

You can verify that in numerous ways. A simple test : open a file-manager and try to read other users stuff. In medium-state that should be impossible (as long as you are not root). Then try to set the welcome to crackers-option, and repeat the procedure - you will now be able to do almost anything, included accessing other users files. If, on the other hand, you set the paranoid-option, you can do next to nothing ! - So relax, everything is OK.
