Re: [newbie-it] lettore CD (era problemi con una stampante Epson Stylus photo 1200)
L'ha riconosciuta anche a me così ma nn riesco a sentire il lettore cd In Mandrake 8.1 avevo lo stesso problema perché mancava un link simbolico nella directory /dev Controlla in /etc/fstab a quale device punta il lettore CD (ad esempio ammettiamo sia hdc) dai, in successione, i seguenti comandi: cd /dev ln -s hdc cdrom (sostituisci hdc con il tuo device se diverso) Fammi sapere se così risolvi Ciao Marco http://www.linuxland.org
Re: [newbie-it] problemi con una stampante Epson Stylus photo 1200
Alle 01:37, giovedì 18 aprile 2002, hai scritto: scusa è mandrake 8.1 ups grazie Dunque, CUPS è un sistema di stampa abbastanza avanzato che permette di configurare e gestire le stampanti in modo facilitato. Prima di tutto devi verificare se quando hai installato MDK questo è stato compreso nell'installazione. Se utilizzi KDE vai nel menù K, quindi Configurazione e, nel menù che si apre vai alla voce Stampa. Nell'elenco, tra le altre voci, dovresti avere: Configurazione WWW CUPS E' una gestione che funziona tramite web browser. Se lo lanci ci sono le opzioni per configurare le stampanti. Se durante l'installazione CUPS non è stato installato, devi installarlo. Con i cd di mdk 8.1 a disposizione, manda in esecuzione il Software Manager di Mandrake (Menù K - Configurazione - Gestione Pacchetti - Software Manager). Qui, navigando nell'albero dei pacchetti cerca CUPS e dirgli di installarlo. - Il problema dei cd-audio ancora non sono riuscito a risolverlo, da lo stesso problema anche a me. Credo che dipenda dal fatto che il suono dovrebbe essere trasmesso, da cd alla scheda, non attraverso il solito cavetto ma attraverso un meccanismo software (se mi passi il termine) per cui le tracce dovrebbero essere prima copiate su hd poi suonate dalla scheda. Ho scoperto questo perchè, quando avevo la versione 8.0 all'inizio ho avuto lo stesso probelma, poi mi hanno spiegato l'arcano e ho risolto con l'installazione di un programma alsa player che funzionava con tale meccanismo. Con la 8.1, purtroppo la cosa non ha funzionato - sto ancora studiando. Il problema del'audio, comunque, riguarda solo i cd? I suoni di sistema e gli mp3 (ad esempio) si sentono bene?

Salve a tutti, mi sembrava che qualcuno di voi si orientasse tra le schede audio. Io ho un Acer travelmate730 TE con la Mandrake8.1 Con la 8.0 tutto andava.

L'Associazione Software Libero e Italian Linux Society (ILS) propongono una raccolta di firme a sostegno di questa proposta di legge. L'iniziativa vuole dare sostegno e supporto alla proposta di legge affinché questa, o altre proposte analoghe nei principi, vengano approvate dal parlamento italiano.

L'importanza crescente che l'informatica e la telematica, e quindi il software, assumono e assumeranno nella società e le particolarità che ne rendono spesso difficile l'inquadramento in schemi tradizionali rendono necessaria una riflessione in proposito, -- dice Davide Cerri, membro del Consiglio Direttivo di ILS -- per cercare di approfondire le questioni non solo economiche ma anche etiche, sociali, legate alla libertà e ai diritti del cittadino. Questo è particolarmente importante nel caso della Pubblica Amministrazione. L'Associazione Software Libero e Italian Linux Society promuovono, quindi, una campagna di raccolta firme e invitano a stampare il modulo su URL:http://softwarelibero.it/documentazione/firme_cortiana.pdf, a farlo compilare in tutte le sue parti da chi vuole sostenere la proposta di legge e a inviare i moduli completati al seguente indirizzo: Associazione Software Libero c/o Guidelli Nelli/Piccardi via Kyoto 8 50126 Firenze Le firme saranno quindi consegnate al senatore Fiorello Cortiana che se ne servirà per sostenere il disegno di legge.

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 :-) Well that's interesting , you see I am tripple booting on one hard drive, with W2K as my hda1, maybe the installer found this and said better stick to the one convention, or something, whereas in your case you had a more complex hard drive setup created presumeably at different times, by different partition tools but without any windows OS, and it decided on another set of conventions, I don't know, but these inconsistencies do crop up from time to time, and they are puzzling. 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. I guess then that you have your raid controllers disabled in bios to get rid of the unwanted warning signs on boot up.

[newbie] This is starting to p!$$ me off.
Hi all; rant My 'experiment' in too much hard drive space worked out just fine. The only problems I have installing Mandrake on any machine (so far) are (minor): The time required looking through the packages for install. I can't do a sysadmin/duplicate install from floppy since these (17 and counting) are separate stand-alone, no local area network connected, internet/home generic user machines. (That's actually a blessing, just time consuming.) Plus a few hardware incompatibilities (minor ones that are filed under D'UH! you should know better Charlie you twit!) that are the fault of OEMs and the hardware manufacturers in general. All resolved. Add (much more aggravating and still unresolved) the fact that the machines that are connected to the local cable network (plus my own) all have a problem with NOT being 'networked' when an ethernet card is installed. The x-session errors file for the four that I've helped with all say the same thing: Can't get own host name. Your system is severely misconfigured, and other related noises. The hell they are; the only problems on any of them are those relating to hostname. There was never a hostname applied during install on two of them, the other two had the localhost.localdomain localhost default used. This is driving me absolutely mad and the cable ISP is no help. So far I got an answer about assigning a hostname followed by a quickdisclaimer that it may break every 48 hours since the IP addresses are dynamic on a 48 hour lease. Even though I've had the same IP address for 3+ years. /rant foaming at the mouth rant The single most aggravating thing about any of this actually started somewhere back during the MDK 7.x days.

Re: [newbie] weird log...
Basically, the system's being lazy with the log. In some cases this can
almost be seen as a good thing. It means your don't have much writing
to the log.
All you need to do is find the what it's repeating. It should be last
line written ABOVE all of those things. Here's an example from my log.
Apr 16 02:47:32 localhost snort[29743]: [1:477:1] ICMP Source Quench
[Classification: Potentially Bad Traffic] [Priority: 2]: {ICMP}
Apr 16 02:49:04 r2d2 last message repeated 7 times
So it repeated the line from snort 7 times before something interrupted
what it was doing, then made it print again.
All you have to do is find out what's above all of those. Try this
command, it may give you the line that it's repeating.
grep -B 5 repeated /var/log/messages
So it finds every line that has repeated in it, then prints the 5 lines
BEFORE it as well. Check the man page for grep for more options. If
you don't get anything printed with the above command, change the 5 to a
10.
Hope that helps.

Re: [newbie] Is ATA133 HD working in Linux or only ATA100?
I can't speak for ATA133 but I recently had Linux/Windows installed in a dual boot system on my ATA66 hard drive. It finally kicked the bucket so I bought a new hard drive and reinstalled both OSes. They both run much faster on the ATA133 drive I bought (It only runs at ATA100 though as that's my motherboard's max). So if you need a little extra speed, it's an awesome change and I recommend it.

[newbie] Mandrake 8.2, having Alcatel Speedtouch problems, can't connect...
Hi, Two days ago I installed Mandrake 8.2, because I read the support for the Alcatel Speedtouch USB modem was better than any other distro. During installation, I was delighted, because I could choose what kind of internet connection I want to use and suprisingly I could select the adsl modem, never seen this on Suse or Redhat, wich I've tried before. After installation, all I had to do was copy the mgmt.o file to /usr/share/speedtouch, so I read and I could connect to the net... I started the Mandrake config gui to configure, domain, dns, user/pass, the line was tested and for the first time in my life I could connect to the net through Linux, wich I wasn't able to do with Suse or Redhat, because of the uge install problems I surfed some on the net, shut down the pc and when I restarted it I could not reconnect again. The modem is loaded I think, because the 2 green lights are on and the line is tested no error occur I use the internet icon on the desktop to connect to the net, I click it on, I click on connect, the line is tested, than is says: connection failed and something about reconfiguring with mandrake configure.Though domain, dns, user and pass are correctly configured..

HTH, -Frans Thanks, I have a MSI K7T266 Pro2 Mobo which has via 8233 AC97 soundchip built into the board. Upon install LM8.2 seems to configure an OSS driver which works,but only with one item, namely the CD player. Nothing else seems connected to the system. There is no Mandrake sound for the OS, no Xcdroast , no midi player, you name it it doesn't work. It does not seem to be anything to do with unmuting. So what am I to do, several suggestions later someone said configure the alsa sound driver, instead of the OSS driver,which I think I have achieved. Certainly kernel configure and KDE sound believe it is running. It makes no difference whether ARTS is enabled or disabled. There does not seem to be any sndconfig command line facility.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 8.2, having Alcatel Speedtouch problems, can't connect...
Ok, so after another windows session, starting Linux and trying to connect to the net, wich did not happen, I will send attached a piece of the log file, first an older piece, but than the piece from login. I tried: modem_run -m -f /usr/share/speedtouch/mgmt.o the answer is, driver already running something like that. I tried: pppd call adsl command unknown... Oh I have to mention, when I logged on to Linux, both the modem lights were out, I pulled the usb connection in and out and both lights were on. Thnx in advance, Roland - Original Message - From: RM.

Hi, Two days ago I installed Mandrake 8.2, because I read the support for the Alcatel Speedtouch USB modem was better than any other distro. During installation, I was delighted, because I could choose what kind of internet connection I want to use and suprisingly I could select the adsl modem, never seen this on Suse or Redhat, wich I've tried before. After installation, all I had to do was copy the mgmt.o file to /usr/share/speedtouch, so I read and I could connect to the net... I started the Mandrake config gui to configure, domain, dns, user/pass, the line was tested and for the first time in my life I could connect to the net through Linux, wich I wasn't able to do with Suse or Redhat, because of the uge install problems I surfed some on the net, shut down the pc and when I restarted it I could not reconnect again. The modem is loaded I think, because the 2 green lights are on and the line is tested no error occur I use the internet icon on the desktop to connect to the net, I click it on, I click on connect, the line is tested, than is says: connection failed and something about reconfiguring with mandrake configure.Though domain, dns, user and pass are correctly configured..

Re: [newbie] Smartmedia card reader
Is it possible that you are not running devfs? If you issue the command cat /etc/lilo.conf from a shell, it will display the various boot options that appear on the menu when you first boot. Under your linux entry, there should be a line that begins with append=. On that line, it probably says devfs=mount or it might say devfs=nomount. I'm pretty sure if it says nomount, you will manually need to create the entries under /dev. The devfs=mount should create them automatically.

Re: [newbie] modem
It sounds like you have a winmodem. Do you know what type of modem you have? If you are dual booting into windows, you can tell from that. If you can get the Manufacturer and model number, then you can get the right drivers for linux from www.linmodems.org Usually the message you are getting is because the dialer can't talk to the modem (because the correct driver isn't loaded) and it assumes the modem is busy (wrong) or not responding (correct).

Hi Everyone!
I'm planning to change my hardware from intel to AMD and I'd like to know
your experiences. I've seen an AMD system crash because of motherboard
problems and I do not want any problems (AND I do not want to use M$)
The configuration I chose is:
Motherboard: FastFame8VTAA(VIAKT133A,3SD,UDMA100,AGP4x,AC97Sound,ATX)
CPU: AMD K7 ThunderBird 950MHz SocketA
RAM: 256 MB SD RAM 133MHz
I think it should work fine. Does anyone know about the Motherboard?
Also: With an AMD system, which rpm packages should I use? i386, i586,
i686
(I guess not) and even if they are not optimised, will they work?
Thanx,
BAT
