Salve a tutti. Ieri ho installato mandrake 8.1 su un hd tutto per lui. Quando parto mi chiede con quale identità voglio entrare (ne ho inserite 2) e con quale tra Kde Gnome e altri. Con Kde tutto fila liscio ma se, dopo aver fatto il log out rientro e inserisco gnome lo schermo si spegne e viene nuovamente visualizzata la finestra per il login e password fino a che non metto kde. Ho provato con l'altra identità e tutto è filato liscio. Come posso fare? C'è un gestore dei vari user? Grazie in anticipo dell'eventuale risposta Ku68

Re: [newbie] ZIP drive under Linux-Mandrake 8.1?
Yes... If you are in LM81, that means devfs is in place. Devfs is probably one of the better advancements in the Linux world within the last few years. It carries with it quite a few advantages; one of which is to actually be able to see what devices have been detected on your system. Of course you can also do this with the /proc directory; however, if you go into the devfs directory you can see the true names of the devices in addition to there being only what has been detected. In the old dev system, when the devices were created on your system, they were all put there at once, wether they existed or not. Devfs puts a brain to the problem, and the daemon only places items in their real designated spots if they actually exist, using a directory structure as a means of categorization, as it was meant to be used. Devfs gives you many other features and abilities, I'm nutshelling one aspect of it here for brevity. Caveat: In order to maintain backward compatibility, softlinks are created in the /dev directory that all correspond to the old device names that used to be there. These names link you up with the *real* device names, the ones that have been properly categorized within their respective directory structures. This is what you are trying to mount when you designate /dev/hdd or whatever. To check what devfs has actually detected on your system, in your scenario you would go to /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0 and do something like ls -ail To see what you have. What you see (if anything) is all that you have available to use for mounting. In my case, I see the following: __ [root@tamriel lun0]# ls -ail total 0 374 drwxr-xr-x1 root root0 Dec 31 1969 ./ 373 drwxr-xr-x1 root root0 Dec 31 1969 ../ 387 brw---1 root root 3, 0 Dec 31 1969 disc 388 brw---1 root root 3, 1 Dec 31 1969 part1 [root@tamriel lun0]# pwd /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0 [root@tamriel lun0]# ___ At this point you may use the real filenames to mount your device. For instance, disc is telling me that that is the device I would use for the fdisk command to create or delete partitions; ie, it represents the whole enchalada of that device. On the other hand, part1 is telling me that there is a partition already there. So therefore I could issue the following command: mount -t vfat /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/disk which would mount that dos 7.10 drive to /mnt/disk. I just happen to already know that it's formatted as a Win95 LBA partition, so I told mount that it was a vfat filesystem.

[newbie] lilo versus fdisk/mbr
Hi! I am unclear about how exactly somebody can remove linux from a multi-boot machine. I am interested in two cases: a) the machine already is multi-boot with, say, Windows98 and Windows2000 installed. When linux is installed, linux places lilo in the mbr and lilo gives give the option to either select linux or windows in which case a menu to choose between W98 and W2000 appears. b) a machine only has W2000 and linux is added. To remove linux - I was told that one only needs to boot with DOS and type the command fdisk/mbr. This then removes lilo from the master boot record. So fine so good. But HOW does it place the loader which gives the choice between W98 and W2000 (in the first case above) or how does it then allow for the selection of W2000 in the second case. fdisk/mbr cleans the mbr - but it should not replace the windows options back into the mbr, right?

If you investigate more, you will see that in the c: there are files like ntloader.exe , xxx.bin or stuff like that. As they are not at the mbr, they are not affected by lilo.

Re: [newbie] backup app for LM 8.0
Andy, this: http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue13/floppies.html says this: == Prepare as many floppies as you think you'll need by using the fdformat(8) command. You do not need to make filesystems on them however, as you will be using them in raw mode. If you are backing up a large set of subdirectories, switch to the base subdirectory and issue the following command: cd directory tar -cv -L 1440 -M -f /dev/fd0 . This command will prompt you when to change floppies. Wait for the floppy drive light to go out of course! If you need to backup or transfer multiple files or directories, or just a single large file, then specify them instead of the period at the end of the tar command above. Unpacking the archive is similar to the above command: cd directory tar -xv -L 1440 -M -f /dev/fd0 == It might be five years old, but I'll bet it's still true. (I'm sure I've read of a command you can pipe the output of tar to, which will cut it into pieces of any size you want. Wish I could remember what it's called). Richard Andy Gay, Monday 04 February 2002 04:31: I could use a simple data backup do store nothing but a /data directory in my /home/me/data.

I had the same problems when I had to learn IBM Dos version 2 from scratch by myself. The syntax can be arcane and hard to understand at times. Plus, the man pages are not oriented to new users. The best source of information for new users are HOWTO resources, which list concrete real world examples, put forth in no nonsense easy to understand format. I appreciate these resources greatly because I did not have them 15 years ago when I got a generous crash course by an asshole administrator. There are many HOWTO's, but after checking I found precious little in the way of tar information. This was a little disturbing, as tar is a heavily used resource in the UNIX world. On discovering this, I empathized with your situation even more. To access this information locally on your system, assuming you've got a Mandrake system and I don't have any reason to assume otherwise, put the following in your browser: file:/usr/share/doc/HOWTO/HTML/en/index.html If by chance the docs are not installed, go to the following net resource: www.linuxdoc.org Since this is a new user's list, there should'nt be any subscribers that have any misplaced preconceptions concerning a list member's foreknowledge about anything regarding Mandrake Linux. Having said that, your original question concerned backup programs. That in itself tells us alot about what you are asking. First, whenever you are talking about a script or utility that does backups, it's generally desirable to be able to grab everything in a given location, plus save permissions and ownership information; not to mention the hidden .dotdirs. That's generally what backup programs do. If you tend to back your stuff up to CDRW like I do, you might want to make a tar.gz archive of your directory. In my case, I like to save the home user's directory to a tar.gz archive, then put it on CDRW temporarily until I've upgraded the system to the next latest distro. The following command will save everything unilaterally and keep all ownership and permissions information verbatim: cd /home tar -zxpvf /tmp/storage/home_dir.tar.gz * If you then want to view what you've done after you complete this, you go to the /tmp/storage directory and type: tar -ztpvf home_dir.tar.gz This doesn't do anything but pull a list of what's in the archive. The z option on the tar command line tells the program to process the archive with gzip, which gives it a respectable compression; saving you alot of space. Hope this gets you started.

John Firstly, I don't exactly know why, what or how but here goes... The problem could be with your memory (?). I had the same thing happen a few months back with about 12-15 attempts at installing LM8.1. Sometimes it would start to copy files then hang with no error messages, other times it kept giving me errors about ldconfig after selecting the packages, and during one text install the system froze with an error message that was unreadable (words spread randomly on the screen) but I noticed one of the words was memory. At the time I had recently increased my ram from 128 to 1152 MB so I wondered whether I had bought dud ram. My cpu is also AMD (Athlon tbird 1.0 GHz). Anyway, I thought I'd read something about (most likely I just made it up or dreamed it) the system keeping things (don't ask me what) going on a reboot instead of releasing/flushing everything like it supposedly does on shutdown and cold boot. So out of sheer desperation I shut down the computer and left it for 5 mins before starting it and trying to install again. Voila! No more install problems. Since then I have reinstalled several times without a hitch and each time I have shutdown the computer and left it for a while before starting it again. Might work on your pc??? BTW, I later ran memtest which gave 0 errors so ? Oh, and Civileme has mentioned in a post to this list this type of problem sometimes indicates that its your cdrom thats the problem. Perhaps you could search the list archives. Good luck skinky -- oxymoron: Microsoft Works Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] multiple NICs problem
Hi. Due to an FS corruption, I re-installed 8.1 from scratch on my system. I have been having problems with my NICs ever since. I have 2 NICs - one useing the ne2k-pci driver, and the other using 8139too. Previously, the ne2k card was eth0, and the 8139 eth1. I was using eth0 to connect to the inernet, and eth1 to serve my lan. Now, I am not sure which is which. If I use the same configuration as above, the NIC connected to the internet gets the static 192.* ip address. How can I find out which NIC is eth*? Also, are the drivers auto-loaded? Finally, if I try to use the control-center to configure the NICs, I see 2 NICs in the hardware portion, but connection sharing says that it can see only 1 NIC - eth0 running 8139too. I am very confused. Please help! thanks, Vijay Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Apache and Frontpage
Hi all, I was wondering if there was any way to get FrontPage 2000 server extensions on an Apache web server (not sure what version). Also, if there is a way, I think I remember hearing about a frontpage module for apache, is there any major security risks besides the fact it is Microsoft? Thanks in advance.

[newbie] networking - I can get into my box but not back out
Hi - I just installed mandrake 7.1 on a new box. I am trying to duplicate a box that died last week and reusing the same server name and IP address. But I clearly have something set wrong. I can see this new box from the network and I can telnet and ftp in to it, but I can't get out to the network when I'm on it. I have a PC plugged in to the same subnet, and I used the same subnet mask on the linux box that is used for the PC. but on the PC I have a default gateway, I put this in as the default gateway on the linux box as well. I guess I'm missing the broadcast address? any ideas on how I would determine what that should be? thanks - Ebeth Jones Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Wanting to replace / or run these windows apps.
I use Moneydance for bank (checking, saving) accounts and gnucash for mutual fund portfolios. Both work quite well. Not as much glitter as Quicken but they both use true double-entry accounting and can both import Quicken files. Check printing is possible (although quite a pain) in Moneydance. Moneydance is not free. The demo version is but if you want to save more than (I think) 100 transactions you need to purchase a license (~$40). Moneydance has a more complete interface and can do a few extra things. It's written in java so it can be a bit slow unless you have a fast processor. If you just want to get the job done, gnucash is fine. BTW, both leave a lot be desired in terms of producing useful reports (on investment performance, for example).

On booting from the CD Rom and pressing the enter key, instead of going into second stage install and loading the main installation dialogue screen the monitor goes blank and after about 20 seconds both the CD and the hard drive stop. In other words on pressing enter at the initial welcome screen everything stops. Has anyone had a similar experience or any thoughts on what may be the problem and how to fix it. His PC spec is: 300Mhz Pentium, 64Mb RAM, two hard drives - a 1Gb original and an extra 4GB. It is an old machine (about five or six years old) and the video card is unknown.

Could never get any version installed on it before 8.2. Kudos to the mandrake team! My i810 chip works great! I have only found one problem so far(granted it was only installed last night) the sound. It says it found the card and its the correct card but I get an error at every boot saying it can't open sound server and obviously I don't get any sound from the speakers, but hey thats just minor! Just my .02 cents. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] Windows CE and Linux
Hello, I can across this has any one tried this? if so does it work. IntroductionThis will tell you how to set up a masqueraded PPP connection via. IrDA from a Windows CE PC Companion to a Linux based notebook computer. Once you are IP connected, the rest is up to you. We put this together as a guide for Sony notebook users with Casio I-100/105 PDA's, though the procedure should work for any Windows CE 2.11 device with infrared capabilities talking to any notebook. Do all the Linux side testing signed on as root, standard warnings apply. Step by Step 1. Configure a network connection for your Windows CE device. Go into "Connections" and create a "Direct Connection" Name it something meaningful, for device select "Infrared Port". Go into settings and change the baud rate to 115200, this is the max for Windows CE. Go to TCP/IP settings and check "Use server-assigned IP address," and "Use software compression," and "Use IP header compression" Make sure "Use Slip," is unchecked. For Name Servers, make sure "Use server-assigned addresses" is checked. Go to Start, Settings, Communications, Identification and enter something for the Device Name. (I used "cetoy") You most likely already have these values set if you have synced with a Win9x desktop using ActiveSync.2. Set up IrDA support on your notebook (described elsewhere) and get to the point where your notebook will discover an IrDA compliant device. A good sign is the irda0 device will show up when you execute "ifconfig". It will not have an IP address, this is ok.3. Test the discovery by setting an IrDA device in range of your IR port, wait 5 seconds, and;" cat /proc/net/irda/discovery"For example, the Ericsson I888 World Phone with IR port enabled should immediately show something like this:"name:I 888 WORLD ,hint:0x9104,saddr:0x838470e5,daddr:0x152dceaa"Your Windows CE machine will not be discovered unless it's actively looking for a connection. So, if you want to test with Windows CE position your device and double tap on the network icon you created in step 2, you should see something like this:"name:mytoy,hint:0x8204,saddr:0x838470e5,daddr:0x0b72"The name displayed will be whatever value you have entered into the Start Settings Communications Identification as the Device Name. At this point, with basic IrDA functioning- we can move on to establishing a PPP connection for Windows CE. These scripts can also be used for serial cable connects. Create the following files and copy them into the directory indicated.[/usr/sbin/cebox.sh - make it executable]#!/bin/shpppd call ceboxBecause Microsoft likes to break standards, you need the following chat script. This will feed Windows CE the proper ASCII keywords it wants before allowing a PPP connection.[/etc/ppp/cebox.chat]TIMEOUT 3600"CLIENT" "CLIENT\c""" "SERVER\c"The following file will allow you to specify the IP addresses, IR (or serial port if using a cable) device, DNS and so forth. I do not recommend you change the 192.IP addresses below. Windows CE really has an affection for 192.168.55.100 because all the MS synch tools seem to have it hardcoded. DNS can be whatever you normally use.[/etc/ppp/peers/cebox]/dev/irnine 115200 crtsctsconnect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/cebox.chat'noauthlocal192.168.55.101:192.168.55.100ms-dns 10.2.0.1Testing the connectionOk, now you can test the connection to make sure it all works. Reboot your Linux machine, run "irmanager -d 1", it should automatically run "irattach /dev/ttyS2" (/dev/ttyS2 being the serial port your BIOS sees the IR device as, if irattach is not running, start it) Align the IR ports, at the Linux command prompt type "/usr/sbin/cebox.sh", and simultaneously press return to start cebox and double tap your connection icon in Windows CE. You should get a happy message from Windows CEreporting Connecting to Host, Device Connected, Authenticating User, User Authenticated and finally Connected. You should see something like this when you are connected;irda0 Link encap:IrLAP HWaddr 06:89:d0:58UP RUNNING NOARP MTU:2048 Metric:1RX packets:246 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0TX packets:251 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0collisions:0 txqueuelen:8ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocolinet addr:192.168.55.101 P-t-P:192.168.55.100 Mask:255.255.255.255UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1RX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0TX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0collisions:0 txqueuelen:10The following script sets up IrDA, establishes a PPP connection with Windows CE, and then sets up IP masquerading. It is provided as an example of how you can tie this all together. This is more or less a manual approach. You can get creative, start irmanager at boot and stick a line in inittab to constantly look for a Windows CE connection on the IRport. This will however, run down your batteries and limit your ability to access other IR

Edit your configuration file.

If there's already an append line there, just add this to it. Save the lilo.conf you just edited and then type: /sbin/lilo (on a root command line).
