Re: [newbie-it] Permessi cd cd-R floppy
Devi cambiare i permessi ai file tipo /dev/dispositivo scsi o /mnt/dispositivo scsi oppure direttamente in fstab ma visto che il problema è anche per root è più probabile che tu debba cambiargli i permessi (solo a lui, per gli utenti normali fallo da fstab). Ciao, Germano Il 19:28, martedì 09 aprile 2002, tom hai scritto: Cosa stranissima...non ho piu il permesso per i dispositivi su detti Ho emulato il cd in scsi...e dopo questa operazione non riesco piu ad utilizzarli!!neanche se al login mi connetto da root! in /mnt tutte e tre le dir sono con il lukettone (anche come root) Che mi consigliate di fare???

Re: [newbie-it] problemi winmodem lucent
Ciao, 1)Che cosa ti dice kppp quando si blocca? Nulla, resta la scritta inizializzazione del modem però sembra come se fosse in pausa. 2)hai controllato che /dev/modem punti alla cosa giusta? Si, se ti riferisci a /dev/ttyS0 3) In uno dei menu' di kppp c'e' interroga modem: che ti dice? Mi dice che il modem è stato rilevato. Viene visualizzata la barra progressiva che indica AT1, AT2, ecc, ed infine visualizza una una finestra con questi AT*. Però le stringhe riportate sono vuote. Ciao France

[newbie-it] Mandrake Linux è salva!
La crisi della Mandrake Linux sembra essere passata. Grazie ad una serie di donazioni volontarie (più di 3500) i profitti della società distributrice del sistema open source sono tornati in positivo dopo quattro anni di agonia. Soltanto il Mandrake User Club, dalla sua fondazione (Novembre 2001), è riuscito a raccogliere 440.000 euro. È imminente da parte della Mandrake una pubblicazione ufficiale di ringraziamento a tutti i sostenitori. La società francese, però, non si dichiara ancora uscita dai problemi finanziari, nonostante i debiti siano stati interamente coperti.

Re: [newbie-it] Aiuto.....
Come si fa dalla linea di comando a scegliere l'ambiente grafico (KDE , Gnome etc.) da far partire? Con Mandrake, se vuoi far partire gnome, penso basti: startx GNOME E soprattutto c'è un modo per rimettere tutto a posto? Se intendi far partire subito l'ambiente grafico all'accensione, la procedura più semplice è questa: al prompt digita startx ed entra in KDE. Poi entra in Mandrake Control Center e clicca su Avvio e poi su configurazione di avvio (vado a memoria mi pare si chiami così) dovresti trovare un pulsantino da attivare per l'avvio con sistema grafico. Al successivo riavvio partirà direttamente il server X. Ciao Marco
[newbie-it] Deframmentazione
Ciao a tutti, penso sia nota la necessita' di effettuare periodicamente sotto windows la deframmentazione del disco fisso per i motivi che tutti conosciamo. La mia domanda era questa: il file sistem di Linux si comporta allo stesso modo? C'e' la necesstita' di deframmentare le varie partizioni e se si' con quale programma? Grazie a tutti e scusate se la domanda e' banale...
Re: [newbie-it] Deframmentazione
C'e' la necesstita' di deframmentare le varie partizioni e se si' con quale programma? No, non ce n'è bisogno (e con ext3 ce ne è ancora meno)... A meno che tu non disponga di un server High-end... Cmq prova a cercare su freshmeat. Però il risultato a vaolte può essere disastroso se in mani inesperte. Un saluto.

[newbie] Redundant files. (long listing).
Hi, To overcome LM 8.2 install problems I faced, I have had to perform a series of installs, upgrade installs and package upgrades. I ended up with some directories that had superfluous entries. I have listed out the contents of lilo.conf and the contents of some directories. There is obvious redundant files but some are not so obvious to me. Can someone glance over them quickly and help me identify what files to delete please? The file called kcore in the /proc listed below looks to me suspicous.

Re: [newbie] Redundant files. (long listing).
lilo contains three different boot entries for the same kernel image. Two of them are normal (label=linux and label=failsafe) the third I don't know what it's for. Anyway, it doesn't look to me like you need to delete any file from that. Don't bother about the /proc directory, it is not a 'real' directory in the sense that it does not reflect any disk content. It is a place where the kernel visualizes some of its internal varibables (current processes, devices, interrupts, even a memory image). When you browse that directory, you are not really browsing the disk, but the kernel data structures. You can also access (and modify) some of the kernel configuration variables from there. I guess kcore is the image of the kernel... /lib lookes fine. You have different versions of the same libraries, the same is on my system, I guess that normally applications just need to access to the latest library version, and they do so through a 'generic' named symlink, while other programs need a specific library version. But remember, when you see something like libform.so.1 - ../usr/lib/libform.so.5.2* libform.so.1.9.9e - ../usr/lib/libform.so.5.2* libform.so.3 - ../usr/lib/libform.so.5.2* libform.so.3.0 - ../usr/lib/libform.so.5.2* libform.so.4 - ../usr/lib/libform.so.5.2* libform.so.4.2 - ../usr/lib/libform.so.5.2* libform.so.5.0 - ../usr/lib/libform.so.5.2* libform.so.5.1 - ../usr/lib/libform.so.5.2* you are not really seeing eight files, only _links_ to one file -- almost no disk space taken by these. I would not deletea anything from the /lib, you might discover one day one application does not work anymore. /etc also looks fine. In summary, I wouldn't touch anything... raffaele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, To overcome LM 8.2 install problems I faced, I have had to perform a series of installs, upgrade installs and package upgrades.

Re: [newbie] Software upgrade.
To access the iso images from the hard disk, you first need to mount them: mkdir /cdrom mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop /home/cd_iso_file /cdrom After this, you should be able to browse with kpackage (or with anything else) into the iso's.

[newbie] Mozilla won't run - diagnosis needed
Hi I have just used-red carpet to upgrade a few new Mozilla related programs available through red-carpet. Red-carpet reported that all went ok - however Mozilla browser would not start after that. I am not sure exactly what happened. I type Mozilla in the command line as user or root and it just goes back to the prompt - nothing. I tried to reinstall what looked like a later Mozilla - but that could not happen because of dependencies. I then tried to un-install some and that meant too many files would go with it. I have kpackage which suggests that nothing new was installed at all giving the install date as a couple of months ago. How does one tackle a situation like this? In Windows I would delete and re-install (probably the whole OS occasionally. There must be a way to diagnose and fix in Linux - actually the delete and reinstall seems impossible anyway.

Re: [newbie] How to read and write to a Win XP partition
I did that. Okay, (I have to do this from Memory because i haven't got Linux booted up). BUT you go to Control Center, then.boot. Then you click on something in there, and it will have a variety of options, and it will say default or boot up or something. Then you have a selection of the different boot up modes you can do. You select the one that is selected as default (it will have (default) next to it) and select properties, and unselect the thing that makes it be default. THEN you select Windows (on my system it is called NT) and select properties and check the default button. and then press okay, and apply and all sorts of confirmation buttons. Hope this helps, if it doesn't I'm sure ANYONE can provide a more thorough description.

Re: [newbie] How to read and write to a Win XP partition
I should not but in here , but surely, if you want your WinXP partition recognised in LM(X.X) then all you neet to do is create a directory in /mnt , call it anything you like,eg W-XP, and then go to /etc/fstab and write a stanza to mount it at boot time. John On Wednesday 10 April 2002 12:22, you wrote: I did that. Okay, (I have to do this from Memory because i haven't got Linux booted up). BUT you go to Control Center, then.boot. Then you click on something in there, and it will have a variety of options, and it will say default or boot up or something. Then you have a selection of the different boot up modes you can do. You select the one that is selected as default (it will have (default) next to it) and select properties, and unselect the thing that makes it be default. THEN you select Windows (on my system it is called NT) and select properties and check the default button. and then press okay, and apply and all sorts of confirmation buttons.

Re: [newbie] New silly Question. ;) Recommend good file manager?
Hey Femme. I think what you're looking for is ROX. Somebody asked me on #mandrake what file manager I use. You know I'm a console man, so my answer was xterm. However, somebody else came up with the option of ROX. It's pretty simple, but you can set up defaults to open up certain file types, and it is GUI of course. I've installed it, but have only played with it breifly. It looks nice, and appears to be pretty functional though. Check it out, it may be what you're looking for in E. But keep in mind you can still use your other file managers in E. You can run Konqueror in if you'd like. http://rox.sourceforge.net/rox_filer.php3 Hope that helps! tdh -- T.

[newbie] Smart IP on Mandrake
Hi all, Since a few weeks I'm testing a gprs internet connection. For this testing period i'm provided with a gprs cellphone and a Win NT box. Now I thought that i might as wel test this on my own MDK 8.2 box ;-)) I had some problems with logging in. I thought I had misconfigured Kppp, but today I found that this wasn't the case. On this NT box I noticed a prog running called smart IP client (www.broadbeam.com) What I understand of it is that this prog is for optimizing wireless datacommunication. I also noticed that i'm on some kind of VPN and the server that is providing me internet is probably running the serverversion of smart IP . Somewhere in the smart IP config I found an IP adress starting with 10. . . I thought it was an ordinary internet acces, and this explains a bit why I couldn't login. I hope I explained it a bit clearly, I'm not a real network techie. To stay OT, my question is: Can I still use my MDK 8.2 box to connect the internet through this VPN, or is there a linux equivalent of 'Smart IP client ??

Re: [newbie] SAMBA / Permissions
I'm not as familiar with share level security, but, here's what I dug up from the samba doc's. First, depending on your client machine, you may have to enable share level security on the client machine. Check this doc for that. http://us4.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/using_samba/ch06_03.html Second, try adding mike to the username option on the share itself. For instance - [share] path = /home/samba/share guest ok = no writable = yes username = mike, nobody Also make sure that samba has valid passwords stored in it's smbpasswd file. You can add these with the smbpasswd utility. Lastly, make sure you have read the encryption.txt file ncluded with your samba docs.

[newbie] spadmin hangs
For some reason, in OpenOffice (latest build on Mdk 8.0) spadmin now hangs when I try to add fonts, using up so many system resources that the mouse will only move in leaps and bounds until the process kills itself (or some benign power puts it out of its misery). Same if I run it as root, except it refuses to die (for reasons discussed elsewhere on this list). Any idea what might be the problem? I did reinstall cups, but I don't see why this should affect spadmin (in any case, it's the same version of cups). I also changed the order of entire in xfs, but again, I don't see why that should make a difference. Sir Robin Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] problem with individualization
Hi everybody, I have a P133, 128 RAM box running happily in a dual boot environment with Mandrake 8.1, kernel 2.2.19-19mdksecure, kde2.2.1 and windows95. The problem started when I change the system settings in terms of language, fonts (console and X-windows) and keymaps, to Turkish, since I joined the translation team. This did not take too much effort surprisingly (to me at least), however I noticed some problems afterwards, to which some people here may suggest some solutions hopefully: 1. Everything (fonts, keymaps, etc.) is OK for kde. Local messages, menus are all OK. However, gnome does not display special characters of this language at anywhere (menus, dialogs, error messages, etc.), although the font and keycode (ISO-8859-9) are set appropriate. One of the Turkish gurus has told me that might be because this version of gnome does not convert UTF-8 to ISO-8859-9. This problem is supposed to be resolved in gnome 2.0 she added. 2. All of the mandrake tools (everything in mandrake control center, such as menudrake, harddrake, etc) has the same problem with gnome. All the special characters are replaced by ?, even if they run under kde. Moreover, rpmdrake never installs, updates or upgrades any package anymore! Whenever I try to do so, it returns with the packages are bad, regardless of the source (ftp site, cdroms, etc). This is rather strange, because I could not resolve the problem by reverting the changes for language step by step (fonts, keymaps, local messages, etc.). OK, I did not revert everything back to English all at the same time, but the only combination I didn't try was that. I believe this is a serious problem, unless my rpmdrake was corrupted by another mechanism simultaneously, by chance. I am ready to try any suggestions made.

It often seems to be associated with installing the rpm kdebase-nsplugins To fix it open KDE Control CentreWebBrowsingNetscapePlugins If the 'Scan for new plugins at KDE startop' box is checked then uncheck it click 'Apply' then restart KDE. If it is still no good then in a terminal type cd ~/.kde/share/config rename konquerorrc konquerorrc.bak and then restart KDE. This will remove your konqueror settings. On restarting a new file will be created and your konq will revert to default settings. It should then start OK. HTH derek Thanks Derek.

Alas, I can't do this as I need Windows to: 1. Play Games 2. Use my Scanner - it's not yet supported under Linux that I can find and scannerdrake doesn't recognize it.

Re: [newbie] How to Install KDE 3.0 ???
I'm trying to install Kde 3.0 but I can't. I downloaded all MDK files from: ftp.unina.it/pub/Unix/KDE/stable/3.0/Mandrake/8.2/RPMS/i586 I upgraded to 3.0 final last night, but I already had 3.0 beta 2 installed, so maybe that's cheating :). The install went fairly straight forward, although there were a few gotchas. I use Mandrake 8.1, but the installation for that shouldn't vary much from doing it on 8.2. If you are upgrading from 2.2.x or installing kde 3.0 for the first time, that may be different. What I recommend doing after you've ftp'd down everything in the kde subdirectory off of ftp.kde.org - is to start upgrading the lower level components first before installing or upgrading the big major components such as kdebase. This helps dependency conflicts. That's the approach I took this time around and there were still some dependency issues - iirc I had to a --nodeps install on koffice, because it wanted a kdegraphics rpm and my rpms were kdegraphics3. Minor spelling diff, but it makes a difference to RPM. By lower level stuff I mean things like libxslt, libcups, etc. Similar titled libraries and their base packages (for example cups* and libcups*) depend on each other; you'll be better off if you install the library components first. Once those are installed, then install libqt*. The -devel packages depend on their base packages - for instance kdelibs, and kdelibs-devel. Install them in pairs on the RPM command line, like # rpm -Uvh kdelibs-3.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm kdelibs-devel-3.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm Next, if you get dependency errors from another package, suich as kdearts needing kdelibs, or what have you, hit your up arrow button which will give you the last command entered, then add the RPM its asking for. Keep adding RPMS on the command line (but just the ones it needs) until all dependencies are satisfied. If I remember from last nights install, I had to do this about 3-4 times just to make sure everything got upgraded correctly. In some cases you'll need to get rid of an older RPM before the new RPM can be installed. Mostly this is needed if you get file conflicts (like somesuch file in foo-1.rpm conflicts with the same file in foo-2.rpm).

[newbie] Kernel upgrade
My first post to this list! I'm running Mandrake 8.1 with rieserfs on a 256MB AMD K6 clocking 350 MHz (older machine) and all is well. I just purchased a Sharp Zaurus SL5500 and much to my disappointment it does not talk to my Linux box. I have spent all day trying to upgrade to the 2.4.18 kernel so I can use the usbdnet patch to make things right with my Zaurus. No joy however. I followed the README that came with the 2.4.18 source download. After make xconfig make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install cp ~/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot editing lilo.config to point to new bzImage with lable 2.4.18 (keeping old kernel available) lilo reboot then selecting my new kernel from lilo menu system flashes: Loading 2.4.18 . Then it reboots ... and I grit my teeth and wonder why. What am I doing wrong .. any common newbie (like me) issues and Gotch-ya's?

Re: [newbie] Reiser Question
Well I'm officially very ticked off. I had some problems with X. It crashed, hard. Mouse/keyboard, evertying stopped working. Somehow, through a miracle I think, I got it to reboot by hitting teh reset button or just banging keys. Needless to say, I lost all the mail I'd d/led today. I also lost some small bookmarks *No biggy there*. The mail is what I was ticked about. I couldn't figure out a way to save it. I am using Sylpheed. When I rebooted, I got fails on a lot of Modules that tried to load. Like DevFs=Fail! this was my first clue my install didn't survive. Now, knowing Reiser is supposed to stop corruption of an FS, why did it fail this time? Is it me or something else? any ideas to avoid this unfortunate situation in the future? I did try to get to a term by ctrl-alt-Fx. No joy. So...couldn't shutdown gracefully. *sigh* I tried the rescue option. Ya that didn't work. I tried the reinstall but don't format /home. I have only 3 partitions *root (/), swap, home* and have yet to figure out how to divide up more get it to work properly. *Thats a diff issue*. However, on reboot I got teh same fails. Plus! Kde couldn't write/execute the .ICEauthority file. :\ I tried the chmod method of giving global access... another file needed it. At that point it seemed easier to just reinstall all save my nvidia drivers I'd downloaded instead. *sigh* Help? Pls? I am at a loss as to how to avoid/fix this in the future if this happens. And why reiser failed. Femme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
