Se ti dice qualcosa sul filesystem ... significa che stai cercando
di montarlo. Non si puo` montare un cd audio, appunto perche' non
ha un filesystem. 

Se vuoi sentirlo devi prendere un lettore di cd da
menu prncipale - multimedia

modprobe ntfs
mount -t ntfs /dev/hdXY /mnt/giuseppina

sostituendo opportunamente XY e giuseppina.

Per evitare di dare il modprobe tutte le volte, puoi mettere
questa stessa riga in /etc/modules.conf.

Come vedi questa volta l'oggetto l'ho messo io; la prossima però, ricordatene 
tu..
Se, come dici, l'audio è a posto, a questo punto mi viene da pensare che tu 
tenti di montare il CD.
Questo non è possibile, in quanto i CD musicali non hanno filesystem (da qui 
quei messaggi che ti appaiono); una volta che hai inserito il CD, 
semplicemente apri un lettore CD audio (xmms, o quello di default di mdk), e 
buon ascolto..
Vale.

Se hai rimasto ancora dello spazio libero su hard disk, crei una

Oppure puoi installare in WinZoz gli LTOOLS che trovi indirizzo

Questo software dovrebbe (l'ho provato solo per acquisire files da

Si, devi cambiare il file /boot/grub/menu.lst e non lilo.conf.
Poi, la sintassi e il modo di indicare dischi e partizioni e` diverso.
Vengono numerati a partire da zero, quindi la quarta partizione

Il 18:05, lunedì 25 febbraio 2002, hai scritto:
 Ho installato gramofile usando l'rpm presente insieme alla distro ma non
 riesco a registrare nulla!
 Ho provato anche a usare grecord ma anche questo non funziona...

 Qualcuno sa aiutarmi?

 Io vorrei trasferire le canzoni che ho su cassetta su CD. C'è forse
 un'altro programma più appropriato?

Io uso snd, è l'unico programma che ho trovato che mi mostra i livelli di 
registrazione. 
Quando si registra, con qualsiasi programma, bisogna prima tarare il mixer: 
1) prima di tutto selezionare nel mixer il canale sorgente (per registrare 
delle cassette, bisogna selezionare l'ingresso line. Di solito uso aumix, che 
di default mostra a sinistra dei bottoni verdi con l canale selezionato rosso.
2) poi bisogna trovare il giusto volume di ingresso che è IGain. Non 
bisogna riferirsi quindi al volume di Line che serve solo per ascoltare 
mentre si registra. Tieni conto che il livello di IGain deve essere settato 
di solito abbastanza basso, per registrare da cassetta o altro ingresso 
Line, a volte mi capita che sopra il 10% distorce!

Ti segnalo anche il programma rec che fa parte dei programmi normali della 
Mandrake. 

Se registri per fare un CD controlla di fare dei files audio stereo 16 bit a 
44100 campioni al secondo per canale, possibilmente in formato wav che è il 
meglio supportato dai programmi di masterizazione.

I need to send an email message from the command line, either piping the output of a 
command into a mail program or redirectig the text into it, e.g.:

mycommand | mailprog -user [EMAIL PROTECTED] -subject results of mycommand

or:

I need to be able to email directly to the ISP as I am not running a mail server on my

Does anyone know of a mail program that I might use to do this? I think I once saw the 
'mail' command used to send mail to a mail store on the same computer, but I don't 
know if  mail supports sending SMTP messages to a remote mail server.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[newbie] disabling a error message to be logged

2002-02-26 Per discussione Carbon-Unit Scieman

Whenever I'm in console mode, I frequently get this
annoying message: probable hardware bug: clock timer
configuration lost - probably a via 686a motherboard.

On this mailing list I read that the only way to deal
with the problem is to somehow disable the error message
to be logged, because it is a winbond bug and we can't do anything about it.

So my questions are these:

1) Is it true that we can't do anything about it?

2) How can I disable this error message to be logged?

Thanks to all!

Well bear in mind that Mandrake 8.2 is not out yet. It is currently in Beta.  
Opera6.0 is also in Beta.

Opera 6.0 Beta1 and earlier works with Mandrake 8.1 no problem. (I am running 
it as I type) (It is an excellent browser )

However I have tested Opera6.0TP3 on Mandrake 8.2Beta1  and it did NOT work. 
The reason being that Mandrake 8.2 will ship with the libpng3 library and 
Opera depends on libpng2 which conflicts with libpng3.
Whether this will be resolved before Opera 6.0final and Mandrake 8.2final 
 I cannot say

 Well, I run LM8.1 on an old Packard Bell P133 upgraded to a 400MHz with
 80Mb ram and an 8 Gb drive, so I would say that you are fairly safe with
 the spec you mention.

 I have no idea about the quality of the components in the tiger machine

I have been using Soyo Mobos since 6.0 and never had any real problems with them. 
I currently use the K7VTA PRo and it works very well. The chipset on the
Dragon is a change from the via chip set that had some problems in the
past and so I guess what I am saying is that if I could afford it, I
would go with exactly the setup you are looking at and fully expect to
see the computer rock my world. Just my opinion of Soyo. HTH Dennis M.

 The Soyo Dragon Plus is almost made for Linux. Tiger Direct always 
 seemed a little shaky to me, they didn't offer 30-day money back 
 guarantees.
 Randy

I agree with Randy about Tiger Direct.
I knew the name rang a warning bell with me.
Here is what the BBB has to say

Customer Experience
Based on BBB files, this company has an unsatisfactory record due to unanswered 
complaints concerning failure to receive a refund  product quality issues. The Bureau 
processed 10 complaints about this company in the last 12 months. Of all the 
complaints 3 were resolved but not always within the bureau's time frame  7 were no 
response.
Additional Information
Additional Doing-Business-As Names:
TigerDirect.com
Additional Phone Numbers:
800-238-4437
Additional File Information
The Bureau has requested basic information from this company.  The Bureau has not 
received a response.

The DragonPlus is a great board, I have a system built around one and
linux has no problem with any of its components.

If you do not mind putting the system together yourself you can use www.pricewatch.com 
and find the same or better OEM components for near/lower price than Tiger is offering.
Checking just now there are several sites offering the Dragon+ for $139,
as well as several sites where you can get a 60GB Maxtor or IBM Deskstar
for the price Tiger wanted for the 40GB drive.

My advice.
I know it looks good, But pass on the offer.

[newbie] Help required, after crash cannot start X

2002-02-26 Per discussione [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Guys

I have a major drama, after installing Win4Lin 3.0 on my Mandrake 8.1 box, things were 
running great, THEN I had a free of my desktop, not while Win4Lin was running though 
and I had no choice (that I am aware of anyway) of sorting everything out except using 
the old 3 finger shuffle (C-A-D)

Now when I restart using either of the Win4Lin or Linux startups through the boot 
manager, I can get to the text interface and login etc but I cannot start X, I get an 
error of:

Fatal Server Error:
can't read lock file /tmp/.X0-lock

Can anyone help

Thanks heaps

i use kpilot not gnome, and use a visor, but i can tell you that kpilot

seen by the system?

you might also try jpilot, it does work with USB

Re: [newbie] Killing a program

2002-02-26 Per discussione Moshe Kaminsky

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand the question, but in general to kill a program
you can do 
  ps -e

to find all the programs running (or do 'ps -e | grep prog name'), 
then you see its PID (process id) and then
  kill -9 PID

to kill it.

Mithrilhall,

login is as root, at the command prompt do the processor status
command, ps -aef, without the quotes. Look for the process ID#
(PID#) of your program in the status listing. Next use the kill
command, kill -9  PID#_of_your_program, without the quotes.
To test, do the ps -aef again and check the listing to make 
sure your program is gone.

John
