Scusate e grazie in anticipo Martina Ciao, dovresti essere più precisa riguarda il tipo di documento che vuoi stampare e del tipo di programma con cui lo vuoi stampare. Nella mdk (quale versione hai?) c'è un sistema di stampa che funziona abbastanza bene (CUPS), l'hai installato? Ho mandrake linux 8.0 e che cosa è sto Cups? Linux riconosce bene la SoundBlaster 128 (la sto utilizzando sulla mia macchina). Precisamente te la dovrebbe riconoscere come Esoniq 5880 AudioPCI, che è il nome del chip della scheda.

Re: [newbie-it] [Forse OT] PHP Nuke
Il mer, 2002-04-17 alle 21:33, Giovanni Mazzamati ha scritto: Secondo me qualsiasi cosa riquardi l'open source va bene... PHP Nuke non si installa come un normale programma. Le cose sono un pochino diverse. Penso che se nella barra degli indirizzi del tuo browser, preferito, digiti http://localhost ti appaia una pagina html che ti spiega cosa è Apache. Se è così siamo già a buon punto... Poi devi avere anche attivo il modulo per PHP, ma penso che questo sia già apposto. Ma la prima cosa che devi fare è aggiungere un'host virtuale per fare tutte le prove che vuoi. Devi cambiare le impostazioni in due file di configurazione: es. /etc/host 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost aggiungi 127.0.0.2 www.miodominio.it es. /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/Vhosts.conf aggiungi NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.2:80 VirtualHost 127.0.0.2:80 ServerName www.miodominio.it DocumentRoot /var/www/html/miadirnuke ServerAdmin mio@indirizzo /VirtualHost Ora riavvia Apache con apachectl restart Digita www.miodominio.it e bovrebbe funzionare, ossia dovresti vedere un dominio senza home page (solo la root dir). Come hai visto in Vhosts è specificata una dir non esistente nel tuo filesystem, infatti la devi creare e cambiare i permessi in 755. Ora pui metterci i file di PHP Nuke. Non è finita. Devi creare il db che viene utilizzato da Nuke. C'è il file in una dir di nuke che potrai usare con MyPHPAdmin. Devi modificare il file di configurazione di Nuke, che se non ricordo male dovrebbe chiamarsi config.php, e settare tutto secondo le tue esigenze. Ricorda di cambiare i permessi a tale file in 666 altrimenti non avrai i risultati sperati. Ora riavvia Apache con apachectl restart Digita www.miodominio.it e bovrebbe funzionare tutto. Molto probabilmente, nel cercare di essere breve, avrò tralasciato qualcosa, ma così riuscirai ad iniziare ad esplorare Nuke, linux e Apache. Se potrò esserti utile scrivimi pure (anche in privato, per non annoiare la lista). Nel poco tempo che ho a disposizione sarò felice di aiutarti. Ciao e grazie mille per i primi consigli. Per ora mi ero informato solo sul sito di PHPnuke e su spaghettibrain (il mirror italiano). Dunque: 1) http://localhost mi risponde con un bel Non ho i firitti per accedere... se però metto nel browser http://IP della macchina (di rete), ottengo la pagina di apache. 2) Tutte le altre cose non le sapevo e domani le sperimenterò (anzi, mi sa subito eheheh). 3) Grazie infinite per adesso.

[newbie-it] problemi di stampa con evolution
Salve alla lista, se tento di stampare una e-mail da Evolution ottengo il seguente messaggio di errore: Il componente di Evolution che gestisce le cartelle di tipo mail è inaspettatamente terminato. Sarà necessario uscire e riavviare prima di poter acedere nuovamente a questi dati. Se tento di stampare il Sommario di Evolution, non lo fa e il sommario scompare. Se tento di stampare una Card di un contatto viene fuori uno schifo... Insomma la stampa con Evolution sembra proprio non funzionare. Uso la versone 1.0.2 sotto la mandrake 8.2 Faccio presente che questo problema ce l'avevo anche su una MDK 8.1 con Evolution 1.0 Il tutto su due macchine diverse... Avete dei suggerimenti? Un saluto.

More specifically, many schools (including my own) andbusinesses (including Microsoft) use Linux on servers, even if they prefer Windows for desktops. OTOH, Samba is a nice filesharing system to use in linux. Perhaps without the yoke of staying interoperable with windows it could develop into something mighty fine.

I was wondering how to add Gnome to the X startup interface of desktops that are installed on my machine and how to get into it the first time after installing it from scratch. GNOME should already be in the menu if you installed from a Mandrake package. If not, you may have to add it manually: Open a root console and type chksession -l. It should list all the valid window manager choices that have been entered. If something's missing, find out what you you should run to execute it. For example, GNOME has gnome-session and KDE has startkde. Now visit the /etc/X11/wmsession.d directory. You will see a set of text files, each with a name beginning with a two-digit number followed by the name of the environment (GNOME, KDE, IceWM ...). The structure of these files should be something like this: NAME=IceWM ICON=icewm-wmsession.xpm EXEC=/usr/X11R6/bin/starticewm DESC=Lightweight desktop environment SCRIPT: exec /usr/X11R6/bin/starticewm Create a text file with a name beginning with a number that has not already been used followed by the name of the environment (e.g. 02GNOME). Put the same information as above into the file, but replace the parts after the equal signs and colon to what suits the environment you wish to enter. So you could make a file called 02GNOME with the contents: NAME=Gnome ICON=gnome-logo-icon-transparent.xpm DESC=Gnome Environment EXEC=/usr/bin/startgnome SCRIPT: exec /usr/bin/startgnome Run chksession -l again. This time, you should see your new entry amongst the others. Make sure that you have the new environment installed and that you have set X to start at boot (you can use XFdrake as root to do this). Start/restart X (or reboot), and all should be well. Alternatively, you can use the Xtart utility if you prefer to load X from the command line (negating the need for a login manager). -- Sridhar Dhanapalan In short, Microsoft is no more able to build secure products than England's cricket team is able to withstand the bowling of Australia's bowlers. -- John Leyden, MS firewall is holier than the Pope, The Register (http://www.theregister.co.uk), 2001-08-20.

[newbie] cylinders, sectors and heads
I just did a major upgrade on my computer and installed 8.2 at the same time. I replaced my motherboard, cpu, memory and power supply and I now have everything running well, except that d@#n WD hard drive. I have of course slowed it down to DMA33, but I have problems with the (c,h,s) count on it and the partition boundaries. Right now, I get the following reports about the (c,h,s) triple: DiskDrake: (4865, 255, 63) fdisk: (4865, 255, 63) bios: (19158, 16, 255) Not only do these not agree, but none of them are the same as fdisk reported on the old motherboard: fisk on old mobo: (77545, 16, 63) I started with an empty hard drive on the old mobo and set up the partitions inside Mandrake, so they are consistent with these last (c,h,s) numbers. Of course fdisk -l /dev/hde warns me now about inconsistent boundaries [output below]. What should I do? Put the old (c,h,s) numbers into lilo.conf?

I am about to install 8.2. The machine on which I am going to install this upon will be used Primarily as a server. Because of this my instinct would be to install as little as possible and perform admin functions via command line only. To ease the burden of typing (I type slow) I would like to install 8.2 so that it boots to command line only mode, but if I would like I can easily start the gui whenever the needs arises to perform said admin functions. Of course once I am finished I would like to kill the gui and return to command line only. I am positive that this is possible. My question is this: Lets say I am running command line only in Alt-F1 and do an Alt-F2 and fire up the gui there. Once I logout and return to command line only will that actually get rid of all the processes needed to keep the gui alive. In other words, I do not want to sacrifice server performance just so I can have the usefulness of a gui. So once I exit the gui will there be any background processes that continue to run ? Or, will there be anything left running that would not be there if I had never installed it with a gui in the first place. hah, now I am starting to confuse myself. :) If you start X from the command line (e.g. via a command like startx), you should be fine: once you log out all X-related processes are terminated. An alternative is not to use X at all on the server, but to manage it from another machine using Webmin. This is included in Mandrake, and it allows you to manage the server remotely via a web browser. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan HTML needs a rant tag. -- Eric S.

There is a cmos battery and it's OK. perhaps there is something going on with your boot manager setup though, lilo config maybe? what happens if you reboot from xp? to get my xp to dual boot properly i had to tell lilo to set certain properties of partitions upon booting (change active partition etc.) but i suspect my arrangement on my desktop is more complex than what you describe, As I said above, it reboots just fine from XP.

I still have no /dev/sda1... how do they appear? There is no sd* device at all in the /dev directory. Unfortunately I do not know. All I can tell you is in my case, /dev/sda1 (the compact flash card in the reader) becomes available to me once I type modprobe usb-storage. *** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.3 Professional KDE 2.2.1 KMail 1.3.1 This is a Microsoft-free computer Bryan S.

Re: [newbie] virtual hosts and email
Todd, Go to http://www.postfix.org and look up documentation on the mydestination variable which you'd change in /etc/postfix/main.cf It would look something like this: mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain, mail.$mydomain, www.$mydomain, ftp.$mydomain barneythepurpledinosaur.com, hell.org Don't forget to re-start Postfix when you're done with your changes.

Is there a how-to on this? Google search returns hits about ISPs and web hosting, nothing on setting it up. I'm running postfix, and prefer not to run POP or IMAP. Right now, it's just me, so could I just set up an alias, or tell postfix to deliver mail for myotherdomain.com? Help or URIs greatly appreciated!

Not only do these not agree, but none of them are the same as fdisk reported on the old motherboard: fisk on old mobo: (77545, 16, 63) Motherboard: MSI K7T266 Pro2. Bios: AMI version 3.4 Hard drive: WD400-BB (Yes, I know it's trash, I bought it before I knew) ... # cat /etc/lilo.conf default=linux boot=/dev/hde ... disk=/dev/hda bios=0x81 disk=/dev/hde bios=0x80 We share the same Mobo, and I found something similar resulted. In my case I had a 40gig Maxtor hard drive, where all the different means of defining hard drive size, came up with different answers, no matter which partition tools were employed. I asked the hard drive manufacturers, about this problem, and to cut a long story short, it turns out there are more than one way of actually measuring hard drive sizes, which I did not know. It all depends upon which formular is employed. This can mean that bioses can vary the result In the end I elected to use one partition tool, PQ Partition Magic, to do all the partition work,on all my hard drives, this way at least , the size came out equal no matter which means of listing the partition table you chose to work with, that is the old dos fdisk, or linux fdisk , and there were no missing bits between the partitions, that somehow get created , and cyliners head and sectors get rounded off. Yes, but one would like consistency in these numbers and that the partition boundaries match with the (c,h,s) triple that is used. I have read that the only place where linux actually uses the (c,h,s) addressing instead of lba32 addressing are in lilo and fdisk (diskdrake as well?), so I'm not overly concerned since I'm not sharing the hard drive with any other OS. If I were sharing the hard drive with windows, which only uses (c,h,s), I would be concerned since windows might think it was writing inside a fat32 partition boundary and write in an area that linux thought was ext2 area. I think I'll end up with adding lines to lilo.conf stating that the (c,h,s) count should be what fisk on the old mobo thought it was, i.e. (77545, 16, 63). Unless somebody on this list tells me that it wouldn't be wise to do so, of course. I also notice your lilo.conf has additional stanzas:- ignore-table disk=/dev/hda bios=0x81 disk=/dev/hde bios=0x80 I would ask what these entries are there for ? Sure, I added the bios-lines this morning and I was finally able to boot from hard drive as opposed to only from floppy :-) The ignore-table line came with the installation, I have to look closer at that line and why the installer put it there. If the bios-lines are not present, LILO tries to guess the code that the bios uses for the hard drives. In my case, lilo failed in the first stage of booting and it was due to incorrect guesses. In short, the whole bios-lilo communication/guessing was a little bit messed up and I had to correct the situation by hand. I'm not the only one, I had already guessed this to be the case when I found an message on the MSI message board where somebody had to do the same thing. I don't have raid controllers on my mobo, I have an extra IDE controller card in an PCI slot. I've heard so many silly things about these RAID controllers that I didn't want them. However, I would have liked the USB 2.0 controller but I couldn't find the k7t266 pro2-U version for sale any where, only the plain pro2 or the pro2-RU. At some point, I'll perhaps add linux software raid to my system, just for the fun of it but I don't have the time for it right now. Narfi. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
