Re: [newbie-it] Aggiornamento KDE da 2.2.2 a 3.0
Il fatto di disporre dei sorgenti non è conveniente solo se si vogliono modificare ma anche se si vuole compilare l' RPM ottimizzandolo per la propria macchina. Ovviamente la compilazione richiede tempo e la maggior parte delle volte gli RPM sono abbastanza robusti da girare comunque molto bene. Sono gusti.

[newbie-it] problemi winmodem lucent
Ciao a tutta la ML, ho installato da poco Mandrake 8.2. Ho un winmodem Lucent che con le ultime versioni 8.1 e 8.0 non mi aveva dato problemi in fase di installazione tramite i pacchetti ltmodem*.tar.gz. Ora ho provato a fare lo stesso sotto 8.2 ma purtroppo (ho usato diverse versioni, dall'ultima 6.00c2 a 6.00b15 e ho anche provato il pacchetto *.rpm consigliato con la 8.2 ma ottengo sempre gli stessi risultati) non riesco a connettermi. Tramite kppp sembra riconoscermi il modem ma al momento della connessione e dell'inizializzazione del modem si blocca. Ho allora provato tramie wvdial a connettermi ma qui sembra non trovarmi addirittura il modem. Ho già letto le varie FAQ dei driver ma nulla... Qualcuno ha un suggerimento (oltre a quello di buttare il winmodem:)). Grazie anticipatamente France

I am having a heck of a time trying to get the new Nvidia RPMs for Mdk8.2 working. I downloaded and installed both files according to the instructions that the Nvidia web site gives for installing the RPMs. I have also tried to do the upgrade. It seems to go through the motions, but nothing is working. How do I check to see that the driver is installed and the video card is actually using that driver?

Re: [newbie] Which PALM desktop - conduit systems
i like kpilot a lot, but it doesn't have usb yet. actually now that i type that, it may now that kde3 is out. not sure. Error, it has. That was the way I reached the palm m505 sync via usb in a equipment runing Mandrake 8.2: (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 I hope this help you.

That's a hardware 'feature' (or rather, the lack of a feature). Are you using sound that is integrated onto your motherboard? Most of these setups do not include a built-in amplifier, unlike many standalone sound cards.

[newbie] Any email clients that work with M$ mail server?
Hi all, I am envisioning converting our company to Linux but I need an Outlook like client that works with MS mail server. Why?

Here are some of the things you probably didn't install: You got KDE and GNOME Desktop environments and IceWM-light as a failsafe, but you probably did not install blackbox xfce AfterSTEP WindowMaker Enlightenment Fvwm This will not affect the functionality of the system. Of course, you will not see a background with water rippling at the bottom and reflecting the things shown on the screen, but eyecandy is for those who like it. Now probably also you did not install the development system. So you have Perl and Python, but not many other interpreters and compilers. Last I looked, the Enterprise edition of Visual C++ was selling at about $1000. You have equivalents in power with glade, KDevelop, kdestudio, and gcc, but most of that is on CD2 and CD3. Database systems that are extremely sophisticated are around. Some of them will need to be installed to run effectively with Java which you will need to download to make your browsers fully functional. unixODBC works with Java. MySQL and postgresql are there. There are many programs that are just convenience programs. There are at least 7 editors you did not load, and DansGuardian or junkbuster to take care of unwanted pop-up ads and pestiferous porno sites. But mostly, you have a functional system.

Re: [newbie] Question about a Linux box in an Windows Domain
If I have a Windows domain and want to add a linux box, do I need to have Samba installed on it. No, your network and Linux box will work just fine without it -- the Linux box can run a dhcp client and get the information it needs, or you can specify the IP, Gateway IP, DNS IP(s), etc. If you want to exchange files between the Linux and PC boxes, Samba may be one of the more convenient ways (assuming you can install it without too much difficulty). What I do is run smbclient (or smbmount) (Samba clients rather than servers) when I want to exchange some files with my Windows machine(s). They have proved easy to install (for me) compared to trying to get a Samba server working. The SambaClient and SambaMount pages listed on this page might be helpful: * http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/SambaMain Randy Kramer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If I have a Windows domain and want to add a linux box, do I need to have Samba installed on it.

The password encryption employed by Microsoft has a number of articles on the net about how it can be decoded, and perhaps a few on how it can be encoded. Samba does nicely in keeping up with the CIFS password encryption, but the authentication on the proxy server, IIRC, is supposed to detect Microsoft platforms, just like their own version of Kerberos. May I suggest asking this question on the expert list? More SAs are on that list who may have had the same experience, though most of them probably put linux on the server first.

Re: [newbie] how do I change make GNOME the default windowing system
First it depends on how you login to your X sessions: a) from a console (terminal) or b) from a GUI login. if a) do you use startx or xtart? if b) Depends on the default login manager you use. If you use the KDE one, then it is just a slot with a reveal button and each user (root included) can select which desktop they like. The one you used in the last session will be the one used for the next until you select another at login time. If you use the Gnome one then it is setup in a config file (which i dont know as i use the KDE one). If you are still having probs then perhaps you should supply more information for the list to assist. Usually too much info is more help than not enough.

now done a clean install of 8.2, and most of the problems from
before are gone, but while running KDE and Gnome (might in other
window managers but not so far) the entire machine will freeze
except for my mouse and sound if music was playing at the
time. And I'm forced to use the reset button. Is this
just a bug in 8.2 that can be fixed? Will I have to update
something? Is
yours a straight Rage128 card? Not a mobility or Pro or some
other variation. It should not be there but just in
case check your /etc/X11/X86Config-4. In the module section if
there is an entry for "v41", either # it out or remove it.
Restart X and your problem will be gone. If the
above was not the cause of your problem please post your
XF86Conf-4.

Re: [newbie] New silly Question. ;) Recommend good file manager?
On Monday 08 April 2002 11:59 pm, you wrote: XWC is very good, as is ROX, MC and GMC. Konqueror is quite nice if you don't mind loading much of KDE along with it. Nautilus can be reasonably fast if you turn off the superfluous features. Nautilus in GNOME2 is much faster than the GNOME 1.4 version. GNOME can be quite fast if you opt to use GMC instead of Nautilus as the desktop manager (or better yet, don't use anything). Thx but someone told me about File Runner ;) Its what I wanted ;P Femme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Modem
I installed 8.2 twice. The first time the modem worked but my sound card did not work. I reinstalled 8.2. I formated the / directory each time. The second time the modem failed to work. I have a Lucent microelectronics Venus Modem (V90, 56K Flex). I am using KDE. When I try to access the internet I get the message Modem ready. Followed by Sorry, the modem doesn't respond. I tried to configure the modem and received the message I can't configure a Winmodem. It is not a WinModem. It worked in 8.0, 8.1 and the first installation of 8.2. Any suggestions before I trash it. Perhaps I can reinstall 8.1. Thanks, Gary Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
