Linux a diferenza di windox vede probabilmente tutti i tipi di file system.Se hai installato Mandrake dopo winxp ha gia visto le partizioni in questione. Vai nella directory mnt. Al interno oltre al cdrom dovresti vedere windows_c etc Se vuoi avere un accesso diretto puoi farti un collegamento sul desk proprio come in windox.

Ciao e grazie a tutti per le eventuali risposte. Su hdb1 ho installato da tempo la 8.1 con lillo installato sul mbr dell hda. Oggi ho installato anche 8.2 su hdb3 ma al momento di installare il boot loader mi sono accorto che si posso decidere la partizione di root(hdb1per 8.1e hdb3 per 8.2) ma li fa partire tutti e due con lo stesso kernel. Le opzioni che posso modificare non mi permettono di cambiare la partizione dove fareil boot, mi spiego meglio :se installo lillo da 8.1 su hdb1 posso solo sceglere /boot/2.4.8-26mdk mentre se provo la stessa cosa da 8.2 su hdb3 posso solo sceglere /boot/2.4.18-6mdk. Allora ho provato a fare il floppy d'avvio ma al boot mi dice che manca ramdisk. Spero di essermi spiegato bene . battiva@@libero.it

Well, Greg, in fact they are no the way, but pilot-link has a beta release that I haven been able to compile, they say that the problem is solved but arte testing it. And in the case of coldsync is there a mandrake rpm, but I haven't been able to reach the conection to my m505 palm. So we can wait, perhaps in a week or two the final release of pilot-link will be in a rpm package or perhaps Dan could compile the beta.

Re: [newbie] Problem with ISP DNS address lookup
Hi Gerald, Actually I have got it to work, but only half... I manually added a route P-t-P address you can see in ifconfig, it is the ppp remote address. ie. route add default gw 203.88.236.90 After doing this I can now ping the nameservers listed in resolv.conf and all DNS names seemed to be resolved into an address. I can now browse some sites as well, but not all. For some unknown reason I can ping and browse to say www.apple.com but not to www.mandrake.com. DNS resolves the address correctly, but it just times out. So how is it you can get to some and not others ? My Windows 2000 machine using the same PPP ISP connection and IP addresses works fine. I still feel it is some kind of routing thing, but my expertise is getting a little thin here. FYI route shows: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface riv236090.river * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 172.20.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default riv236090.river 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 default 172.20.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Which with the -n option shows: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 203.88.236.90 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 172.20.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 203.88.236.90 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 0.0.0.0 172.20.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 All the best, Rob.

[newbie] Apache + PHP - htdocs?
Having upgraded from LM8.0 to LM8.2, I've switched from source to the pre-compiled editions of Apache and PHP. For the life of me, I can't figure out where my htdocs (the php/html files I've created) should go in LM8.2, and what owner/group they should be listed under. I would greatly appreciate any help, since all of my work for the last two months is in htdocs. Btw, LM8.2 is simply fantastic! Way to go, Mandrake!

[newbie] Palm m505 usb sync: Eureka! success
I gare, that was I did (Mandrake 8.2) A) download pilot-link cvs from http://www.pilot-link.org (pilot-link-0.10.99.tar.gz); tar zxvf pilot-link..; cd pilot-link; ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/extra/pilot-head --with-perl5=no --with-python=no make, make install. After the make, you can test if run: insmod visor; ln -s /dev/usb/tts/0 /dev/pilot; pilot-xfer /dev/pilot -l (It was wonderfull hear the sync music). B) download the last jpilot tarball from http://www.jpilot.org (jpilot-0.99.2.tar.gz); remember the rpm from mandrake is not valid because you need special compilations options. tar zxvf jpilot. ./configure --disable-nls --disable-pl-test --prefix=/usr --with-pilot-prefix=/usr/extra/pilot-head --with-ccoptions=-Wall -O2 make make install And for me jpilot have done a perfect sync using the usb port!!! explendid Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

When trying to get sound to work originally while as root using modprobe, I kept having probems with getting any sound out of my speakers and being able to fully get the OSS driver to stay unloaded. But after editing the modules.conf file and rebooting, the front left and right work perfectly but no rear and center. If this just a modules.conf configration error? I also can't for some reason stop ALSA: [root@compass asound]# /etc/init.d/alsa stop Doing alsactl to store mixer settings...

I have turned off everything that uses sound so far as I know (xmms, killed esd) This makes it hard to be able to test different configuration lines withour rebooting. Is there anyplace I should be looking that I am mssing, or should I try the newer beta version of alsa? Takashi recommended upgrading to you on alsa-user. There are some problems with installing the latest 0.9.0beta12 ALSA on Mandrake 8.2 , but I guess that will soon be sorted out ;) The 'standard' way the c-media 8738 outputs 5.1 surround sound is S/PDIF which is then externally decoded to several analog outputs. Your hardware seems to do the decoding in a way even C-Media's drivers don't understand, only the drivers of your main board manufacturer do (and that's in Windows XP !). See below. I think that's your main problem :( Thanks, Tom Oh, and I have checked the volume controls for the driver and unmuted them. I made sure to do that. From your earlier post to alsa-user: --- OK, here is a better description of my setup. The c-media 8738 on my computer is two pieces. The main part is built into the motherboard so there are 3 jacks directly connected to the motherboard, one jack each for front speaker, Line-IN, and Mic-IN. The second piece is small bracket you mount where an expansion card would be and it connects to the motherboard via a ribbon cable. On this bracket is a jack for the rear speaker line and a jack for the Center/Bass line. There are no SPDIF jacks on my system. From the card to the speakers is a cable with three jacks on each end that connect to the subwoofer and match up corrspondingly for front, rear, and center/bass. Then each individual front, rear, and center speaker connect to the subwoofer. I have been trying to play mp3s through xmms using the standard libmpg123 input plugin and esound output plugin To get the rear speakers working I went into the kernel source directory, did a make xconfig, and under sound changed the number of speakers for the 8738 from 2 to 6. After doing that I have a choice of enabling the line-in as either the rear channel or the center/sub. I have tried leaving both as no, and tried enabling the line-in as the sub/bass channel. Each time I recompiled, installed, and loaded the new kernel Neither time did I get the center to work. One last note, the 5.1 surround works in Windows XP. But I could not use the C-Media's own drivers from their website,they would not give me correct sound either. I had to use the ones from the motherboard manufacturer which appear to be a modified version of the normal C-Media ones. The normal C-Media ones present you with different jack options once you start the install

Just to close the loop on this. I found that by writing a one line shell script which in turn launched the backup script directing its output to a log file, everything worked. This was really an attempt to debug, but seems to be a fix in itself. i.e. 00 23 * * * do-the-backup in crontab fails, but 00 23 * * * start-backups works, where start-backups reads: /bin/do-the-backups /var/log/backup.log So, all is well, but if someone who knows would like to fill us in on why, that would be good!

[newbie] Lost messages on VC12
List, My name is Jim, and I usually just lurk and search the archives. But I can not find an answer to this one. I have recently reinstalled 8.1, and noticed that my log messages are not going to virtual terminal 12 like they used to. They are being redirected to VC6. I can still get a getty prompt on VC6, by hitting enter. VC 7-12 seem to be blank. My question is - What redirectes the log messages to VC12 (usually)? and - What might I have done to loose VC 7-12?

[newbie] Oracle and Mandrake
ok, hopefully someone here can answer this, and hopefully I'm on the right list for it...:) We're trying to install Oracle 8i on 8.1. We have struggled with it for a couple of days, installing RH compatibility patches, jdk_118_v3, and other various rpms to try to get it to work, but the Oracle installer stops on the initial installer screen. None of the buttons seem to want to work, but we can close the window by x-ing out of it. What we're really looking for are some thoughts as to where to go to help find what we need to install Oracle on a Mandrake box (we've been able to do it on a RH box, but we don't want to go there...:)) Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Re: [newbie] Is anyone else crashing their Default KDE editors!
will try it. however i started playing with gnomeICU a little and seemed to work great.. it even got my buddylist from the servers, only Windows ICQ used to do this. Damian Thx...

In practice, you might be able to get away with only Gtk. If you prefer a KDE-based app, there's Kxicq.
