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. Scusa ma con che livello di user bisogna entrare? Ho creato un solo account all'inizio io inserisco quello e nn riesco ad entrarci 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? Per l'audio nn sento nemmeno i wave che in windows sento benissimo Grazie Ciao

Ho creato un solo account all'inizio io inserisco quello e nn riesco ad entrarci Devi entrare come root (cioè l'utente amministratore). Quando hai installato mdk non ti ha chiesto una password per root oltre che definirti un utente standard (quello con cui fai il login normalmente) ? Per l'audio nn sento nemmeno i wave che in windows sento benissimo Grazie Ciao in questo caso ci sono delle verifiche da fare. La prima, la più semplice, è quella di verificare se i volumi del mixer non sono settati, per caso, a zero. E' successo più di una volta che mdk setti, in sede di installazione, i volumi a zero. Per fare questo devi accedere al menù K, quindi: Multimedia - Suono - Mixer sonoro. Lanci il programma e verifichi i volumi. La seconda è di modificare il boot loader di linux (qui dipende se utilizzi lilo o grub in quanto le impostazioni da modificare vanno impostate in modo diverso. Se usi Grub devi fare così: Ovviamente devi fare il login come root - Vai nella cartella /boot/grub/ - Apri il file menu.lst - Troverai due righe simili a queste: title linux kernel (hd1,5)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb6 hdd=ide-scsi devfs=nomount quiet nobiospnp vga=788 se hai devfs=mount devi sostituire, come vedi sopra devfs=nomount quiet nobiospnp ecc. - cioè deve essere come la riga di esempio sopra facendo rimanere inalterata la parte che precede devfs. Se usi Lilo: Sempre login come root - Vai nella cartella /boot/lilo/ - Da qualche parte dovresti trovare un file lilo.conf - Aprilo e inserisci per il kernel 2.4.8: append=3Dnobiospnp - Salva il file - dai il comando lilo -v - Chiudi e fai ripartire il sistema.

Re: [newbie] Switching Desktops
I assume you are booting straight into your user or else it would be obvious. To set it up to choose between KDE and Gnome do this :- 1/ Install the KDE RPMS from Software Manager (obviously) 2/ Open Mandrake Control CentreBootBootConfig 3/ Click 'Yes' to Launch X window at start, Click 'No' to autologin 4/ Click OK and reboot When the system reboots you will be presented with either the KDE or Gnome Login Manager. Either of which allows you to choose what kind of session you wish to open. (KDM has a drop down menu, GDM has a 'Session' select button) The same goes for any of the other Window managers.

[newbie] Bad kernel configuration ?
Im sure someone must have seen this, and might know if its the result of a bad kernel installation of 8.2... I loaded the RPM for a Conexant HSF winmodem - all went ok until running the configuration. That was looking for /usr/src/Linux, which isnt there. What is there is /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/... which contains some empty directories. It also was looking for an autoconfig.h file (for Linux), and searching from root I found no files of that name. A second install with the modules GCC and + gave me no different results. Am I overlooking a module during installation? Thanks for any assistance.

Although everything works fine right after I set the permissions, it eventually always changes to 711, making it impossible for ordinary users to read or write the files (although I guess they could execute them...)

[newbie] Myth II help...
When Loki Software went under I grabbed several of their game titles. I've just gotten around to trying to install them and I've ran across a problem with 2 of them (separate msg thread for other game). When I run the installer for Myth II: SoulBlighter, it gets about 90% thru the install, then errors out with a message saying that a file in bin (on the CD) can't be installed. No further reasons why. Clicking OK on the message box stops the installation AND deletes what was installed so far. I tried copying this file over manually, then restarting the install but it does the same thing. I went to Loki's site, which now gives a lot of URL's not found when you go to links from their page. I did a search on Google, found lots of places but no one has this problem listed. I also searched this list in the archives. Anyone have Myth II installed an working?

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.

The website mentioned previously says add alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-via8233 post-install snd-slot-0 snd-pcm-oss to modules.conf, but although this does help to bring alsa to live as a driver It appears in the boot script now, Nothing including the CD player works. I don't actually have any sound at all. However I think it should work, something is amiss, but I am fast running out of ideas. Installing the latest alsa driver was just one idea. Reconfigure the modules.conf file to include lines about amixer set Master 22 unmute amixer set Master Mono 22 unmute amixer set Input Gain 22 unmute amixer set Aux 22 unmute amixer set Line 22 unmute amixer set PCM 22 unmute was another, but when I do this I get lots of failed script at boot time, with comments about line this and that being unrecognised. The only clue I can find is in configure KDE-info-sound, two lines, synth dev:not enabled in config midi dev : not enabled in config possibly modules.conf needs additional lines to achieve this ?

I had asked: I have a Thinkpad X20 with USB CD-ROM and *no* floppy drive. Mandrake 8.2 ISO CD 1 boots fine, but doesn't come with drivers for continuing with the USB CD-ROM drive. On my desktop machine I used the included rawwritewin.exe to create a floppy with the usb.img file. No system files seemed to appear on the floppy. When I attempt to burn a bootable CD it prompts me for a system floppy... I insert this one and it does not recognize it as valid. How can I turn this floppy image into an ISO image for my CD? My Windows CD-Writer was braindead... probably thought it wasn't a bootable floppy because it lacked COMMAND.COM... :-( Had a friend with linux burn the floppy img file into a bootable CD.

I have set it up to boot to LILO and from there I can go into Windows, Linux, Floppy, etc. When I choose to go into Linux it boots up to the shell prompt. This is what I want it to do. From there I want to be able to type a command to load X. I prefer to use Gnome for my window manager. I tried typing X at the prompt, while this seems to try to start X it freezes up the system and I can't get it to respond to anything. I get a grey screen with an X in the middle and it tries to load for about 30 sec then it stops, I have let it sit there like that for 15 min nothing else happens. I rebooted and tried to type startx and this didn't do anything. On my Redhat machine I have a similar problem when just typing X to load it, but startx usually works fine. Can anyone help me load gnome from the shell prompt. Thanks Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] System requirements?
On Mon, 2002-04-15 at 21:54, Belgarius wrote: Greetings... I've a relatively simple question, regarding system hardware requirements for ML 8.2 and a few things I intend to put it to use for, and thought I might save myself a few headaches by asking wiser and more experienced users than myself. The system I have installed to is a P3/800 based system, 256M SDRAM, running a PC100 buss, with a single 20 gig HD, token floppy drive and a CD ROM. What I hope to accomplish is move my services and users from my present Windows box, to the Linux box. I presently have http, with Perl, PHP, and MySQL, a FTP server, and a mail server that provide for the overall needs of my roughly 25 or so users. Things are connected by way of a bridged ADSL connection, purported to be 768K upstream. The server load is moderate, I'd say, with around 50K average requests, and around 2 gigs of bandwidth per day. The final goal is to meet the above requirements, along with acting as an Internet gateway for my present Windows box, and the family system. Overall, the main objective is to remove the servers from the Windows environment, and rely on Linux to handle those needs, while freeing my Windows box for my other pursuits, and providing better service for the users. For some things, Windows does pretty well, running servers isn't one of them, unless one is keen on rebooting at least daily. In the opinion of those more accustomed, is the hardware mentioned up to the task? I notice that no one has answered this yet, and anybody that's dumping winblows in order to install Mandrake deserves a heaping helping of attention. The more subscribers Mandrake can get in the face of the impending M$ legal threat, the better. Time to fortify and dig in for the big one. The short answer: You hardware is super heap-um big overkill. As a matter of fact, you could probably accomplish what you are attempting to do with a plain Pentium-1 or socket-7 AMD 300-550mhz system. IMO, I think you should put the P3 in as a local workstation somewhere and find you a lesser piece of hardware. A P3/800 is still a nice chunk of hardware; seems like it's a little wasted where you are going to put it. One of the last contracts I had, I was responsible for constructing and assembling several rackmounts that were going in for connection to a dedicated data T1 (no seperate channels), and we had over 100 web sites we were moving from a previous site. The old server was a Pentium Pro 200, and when the new machines went into the rack we went all the way up to P2/300's. Bear in mind that we had Red Hat loaded on the Pentium Pro and it had been supporting the whole company previously for two years before we upgraded. No bandwidth problems. In theory, judging from what I've seen, I see no reason why a moderate email/web load would not work fine from a 486 machine. A few years back, I read about some Red Hat admins who were dumping Sendmail (because of some of the same problems we were seeing, namely hi load dropouts) in favor of Qmail. When they did go to qmail, the efficiency was such that they were able to downgrade from a top level Pentium 2 to a 486 machine for all their mail. That was several years ago, but I don't think efficiency matters have changed that much with regard to matters such as email and Apache. The same system ran my present servers fairly well under Windows, but that's about all it was fit for, and the crashes weren't too awfully bad. I want to be able to build this box, install things, and be able to rely on it, not wind up having to upgrade the hardware because it wasn't up to the task required. Perhaps more memory? Faster buss?

I downloaded a firewall script, specially designed for ADSL users, but that doesn't work, it shuts down the whole connection. I figured out I can use linuxconf, to configure a firewall, now how do I set up a basic firewall?? Or are there any good programs around, scripts, whatever. I used Zone Alarm on my windows pc, are there any firewall for linux like that? To be blunt, ZoneAlarm is a piece of junk. There is no way that any application can make Windows secure. Software (_especially_ an operating system) needs to be written to be secure from the ground upwards. Please help me with this, all the people on IRC don't give straight answers, very irritating, I'm a newbie, but hey isn't everybody been one? Try Bastille.

Re: [newbie] What would be the standard document format?
I thought double spacing was outdated anyway in modern business communications. Still personal preferences are what life thrives on. Just my ha'pennys worth. Michael Randy Kramer wrote: Robin Turner wrote: LaTeX does not, repeat, NOT put one space after the end of a sentence. It doesn't put two spaces either. It works out exactly how much space is necessary between words, sentences, clauses, whatever. This kind of feature has been around for ages - it's only dumb wordprocessors that make you type a double space at the end of a sentence. OK, I stand corrected, I think. Maybe it's just DocBook, HTML, etc. that put a single space after a sentence. (Or maybe the space calculated by LaTeX is less than I'd like to see.) I'll check it out next time I use LyX/KLyX.

Re: [newbie] What would be the standard document format?
RTF does handle graphics. But to a certain extent it suffers the same problems that HTML has. It is presented differently by different programs. As an example, when my printer was out of action, i sent a RTF file to a local small print shop in an e-mail. They have handled DOC format for me in the past. The result was i lost my embedded graphics in the printed version and had a overly huge space on the page instead... damn.

A question and a comment/question: 1. Does .rtf handle graphics? 2. IIRC, HTML does the same thing that, e.g., LaTeX does with respect to punctuation at the end of a sentence -- it puts one space after it instead of two. I find that annoying, and would especially find that annoying in business correspondence. If .rtf handles graphics, I would use .rtf.
