\uc1\pard\fi135\qj\cf1\lang1040\ulnone\f0\fs28\'c8 \cf0 stato due giorni fa che un po\rquote per caso e un po\rquote per abitudine mi \cf1 trovai (direi di controllare i tempi: visto il seguito, al posto di e' metterei un fu) \cf0 a passare per il Campo dell\rquote Arsenale; era pomeriggio tardi, o forse sera presto; in ogni modo, era il crepuscolo. Uno di quei crepuscoli come si vedono a Venezia in primavera, quando l\rquote aria \'e8 limpida e le stelle si lasciano trovare nel cielo ancora celeste. Poi la luce diminuisce ulteriormente ed il grande sfondo del cielo prende, istante dopo istante, tutti i toni del blu senza aver mai la minima sfumatura rossa. \ldblquote\'c8 il vapore\rdblquote mi direbbe un pensiero \ldblquote\'e8 il vapor acqueo che d\'e0 i toni rossi al cielo del tramonto\rdblquote . \ldblquote Le diverse gradazioni di blu\rdblquote sentenzierebbe un altro pensiero \ldblquote sono date dallo stesso colore con diversi gradi di saturazione\rdblquote . Per\'f2, in una di quelle serate, quando il cielo diventa cos\'ec blu, e quando le stelle si stagliano in quel modo, e lasciano riconoscere le costellazioni come se fossero disegnate su una carta, meglio ancora, come se fossero le lampadine del presepio dei Frari, ecco, in quei momenti a pensieri di quel genere non si fa neanche caso, e si rimane assorti a fissare l\rquote intensit\'e0 di quelle luci, la decisione di quei toni, talmente marcati da sembrare irreali.\fs24\par
\pard\fi135\qc\fs28 Nel Campo dell\rquote Arsenale, per\'f2, al blu del cielo si contrappongono le mura in mattoni che, cingendo tutt\rquote intorno l\rquote antico opificio, confluiscono proprio in quel punto per chiudersi intorno alle due grandi porte, quella di terra, sottolineata dal suo complicato portale marmoreo, e quella d\rquote acqua, inquadrata dalle due torri. Il luogo non \'e8 mai affollato, \cf1 ed (anche a me piace mettere la d prima delle vocali, ma ormai si tende ad evitare, lasciandola solo se la vocale e' la stessa -ad altri, ed ecco...) \cf0 anzi il percorso pi\'f9 seguito attraversa diagonalmente lo slargo, lasciandone una buona met\'e0 in disparte. \cf1 Fu cos\'ec che\cf0 , guidato dalle luci scemanti del cielo, \cf1 mi trovai (OK se hai messo fu all'inizio, cambiali se hai scelto la formula e' - mi sono trovato; occhio che stia bene cono tutti il seguito!) \cf0 a soffermarmi in quell\rquote angolo dove il campo si conclude in una estremit\'e0 fra due canali, e dove, abbassando lo sguardo dall\rquote immenso fondale del cielo, lo si posa su quello del muro merlato che proprio l\'ec si conclude in una torre. E muro e torre si sottraggono al contatto dell\rquote osservatore e del suolo emergendo direttamente dall\rquote acqua dello stretto ma inaccessibile canale.\fs24\par
\pard\fi135\qj\fs28 Tante volte ero passato per quel luogo, e tante volte la sera, trascurando di soffermarmi un po\rquote per la fretta, un po\rquote per il fastidio verso una illuminazione artificiale che, con un certo spreco di lampade elettriche sguaiate piazzate qua e l\'e0, pretende di sottolineare le zone principali dell\rquote opera muraria e delle sue decorazioni. Ma quella sera la luce del cielo era talmente potente e ben scandita nei suoi toni blu da rendere abbastanza irreale e poco credibile gi\'e0 la scena naturale; in quelle condizioni farsi catturare anche dall\rquote illuminazione artificiale e dai suoi effetti non era disonorevole, almeno cos\'ec giudicai. \cf1 Fu allora in queste circostanze che (struttura un po' complessa, e per di pi\'f9 ripeti la struttura \ldblquote fu...\rdblquote che, alla lunga, appesantisce) \cf0 potei osservare quella sarabanda di figure che si agitano e si stagliano con le loro ombre; forse la parola \ldblquote osservare\rdblquote non si addice a chi si sia fatto catturare in simile modo l\rquote attenzione dall\rquote ambiente circostante, ma in ogni caso riflettei, o colsi senza riflettere, o credetti di cogliere pur riflettendo, sul senso di quella scenografia che si presentava a prima vista come barocca, ma forse di barocco ha lo spirito, mentre le forme appartengono agli ambiti geografici e storici pi\'f9 diversi. \cf2 Ed in effetti i quattro leoni greci che con atteggiamenti diversi osservano i paraggi, dopo aver contemplato le acque egee per secoli; le statue di maniera che si agitano sulla balaustra esibendo spade, tridenti, bilance; il busto di Dante, arcigno com'\'e8 sua consuetudine, che spia i passanti dalla sua nicchia; le targhe, le lapidi, i quadranti di orologi, le inferriate, le cornici, le sagome

[newbie-it] Problemi con il driver Nvidia
Ciao a tutti, ho un problema con i driver scaricati dal sito di nvidia (ho un geforce2 mx 400) e con kde3.0.1. Dopo aver installato i driver i font in kde 3.0.1 non si vedono più bene, per l'esattezza si vedono piccoli e per vederli come prima devo impostarli a dimensioni superiori ai 30 pixel. Ho avuto anche un problema con mozilla1.0 (non si vedeva bene). Ma questo è stato risolto aumentando la risoluzione dei caratteri a 96 dpi. Con il driver nv tutto funzionava correttamente. Grazie per l'aiuto ciao ENx

Re: [newbie] Pro's con's for separate partitions?
On Sun, 30 Jun 2002 14:31:55 +0900, Pascal Goguey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You will notice the benefit to separate /home /opt and /etc directories when you upgrade to Mandrake 9.0. Yes, the advantage of having /home, /opt, and /etc _DIRECTORIES_, as you write yourself, no doubt about that. But is there any benefit of having these on different _PARTITIONS_? You can't separate /etc because it contains important information that is needed at boot (i.e. /etc/fstab). It needs to be part of the / partition. Separating things into different partitions can give you greater fault-tolerance. If you put everything into one big partition and it gets corrupted, you'll probably lose everything (assuming a fsck doesn't fix it). If your /tmp filesystem gets trashed somehow (e.g. it overflows or is corrupted), and it is separated from the rest of the system, you can easily recover. You may also gain a little extra speed, but not enough to be noticeable. Performing an 'upgrade' to a distro is still not as reliable as users would like, and many people are more comfortable with a fresh install right down to reformatting the partitions. But if you want to install, you don't have to reformat the partition. The installer will install every file (thus replacing all the files having the same name), and it will work exactly as it would on a clean partition, the only difference being that the files that are not use anymore would still remain. as far as the installer installs all the necessary files, I cann't see any reason that could make it less reliable than a clean (i.e. with formatting) install. As for upgrade, you may be right. It depends how the upgrade is done, which files are kept and which ones are overwritten... This is a real problem with RPM-based distros. The Debian distros can upgrade all they want with no problem. In fact, you only need to install Debian once. After that you can upgrade as often as you wish. If you have just one big '/' partition that would mean you would lose all your user data in /home, Only if you reformat. I use Mandrake's default formatting, so in case of installing a new version, I format the partition in order to clean everything, but it's not mandatory. I put everything in one big partition (my HDD is too small to do otherwise). When it comes to upgrading, I boot with a rescue disc and mount my GNU/Linux partition. I delete all directories except /home, reboot, and do a full installation of Mandrake without formatting anything. The installer sees that /home already exists, and it doesn't mess it up. BeOS used a single partition and it was perfectly possible to install without formatting, and without loosing your previous settings. I always wanted to try out BeOS, but by the time I was ready to install it the company was ready to fold :( I guess I'll wait and see how the BeOS clones like OpenBeOS develop before trying those. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan I once preached peaceful coexistence with Windows.

After that you can upgrade as often as you wish. I would like to know how to do this. I've been playing with other distros to see which one I like best. The apt-get feature is nice enough that I'm going to switch to Debian just for that. Also, since Familiar and Intimate are based on Debian, I can be consistant when switching from my desktop to my ipaq. Anyway, when messing with apt-get, I had to re-install a few times because apt-get fried the system. Maybe because I put the testing feeds into the sources list... I couldn't boot back up after upgrading and I don't know enough about Linux to know what was wrong or how to fix it. When I get done re-installing my system, I'm sticking with the stable feed.

[newbie] How to hard reset a modem from command line???
Hi guys, I am writing a script to run on one of my permanently connected dialup boxes.. it will run every 60 minuites as a crontab.. The two things I am not sure about.. if I want to issue a hard reset to the modem.. how can I do that from a shell script??? Also, what should I do to physically test if a connection is functioning properly? I could try pinging a dns server somewhere and capture the result, grep it or something, but there must be an easier way.. any ideas? (traceroute maybe?) I am gonna add alot more to the script, I want it to test the connection 5 times or more before it assumes its not working. and I want the script to count how many times it issues ifup ppp0 and not do it more then 5 times an hour.. anyone feel like jumping in with some suggestions??? :-) Here is what I have so far: #!/bin/sh # Set some variables. IFCONFIG = `which ifconfig` EXTERNAL = ppp0 # Test if ppp0 is ip: if [ ! -z `$IFCONFIG $EXTERNAL 2/dev/null | grep UP` ]; then # Interface ppp0 is up, # now see if it is working properly. # try contacting a site. ping? traceroute? other? # Yet to do that.. wondering what the best method is... else # ppp0 is down. # Hard reset the modem. (how?) # Start the ppp0 connection. ifup ppp0 fi Thats a long way from finished.. I want the scritp to test the connection 5 times or more.. (I mean try connecting to an external src) before it assumes the connection isn't working properly, its a dialup machine, so if its mailing a big file or something, it might not respond for a while.. so I don't want to assume that one test is definative.

Re: [newbie] Pro's con's for separate partitions?
Hello (again!) I always wanted to try out BeOS, but by the time I was ready to install it the company was ready to fold :( I guess I'll wait and see how the BeOS clones like OpenBeOS develop before trying those. Yes, the OpenBeOS is progressing nicely. I hope it will reach the BeOS R5 sometime this year. Compared to other systems, it becomes slowly outdated (no support for recent hard, for instance ATA100, ATA 133, etc... But compared to the latest Windows I have used, it still holds a respectable place, althogh it wasn't upgraded for years. Well, that's it. It's not the proper place to talk about BeOS anyway. But watch OpenBeOS, it may become interesting soon. Pascal. Sridhar Dhanapalan I once preached peaceful coexistence with Windows.

I tried to edit the key binding configuration but it cant detect the extra keys. is the windows key really not working in mandrake? any suggestions? A few: 1. open mandrake control center -- system -- services and make sure that jserver is running and that it is set to start at boot. 2. use (as a regular user) /usr/sbin/localedrake to switch your environment to japanese. Now comes the tricky part. Someone once mentioned, either here or on the expert list, a website with instructions for modifying your personal .i18n file to support japanese input but leave most system settings in english. I do not have the url at hand, but it should be in the archives somewhere. If you can find it, it is very clear and works well. The only problem i had was that rebooting would reset my .i18n file to totally english. Which is obviously not a good thing. If jserver isn't running, or if your environment isn't set to japanese language, then shift-space won't work. I too sometimes need japanese for work. since i use latex for almost everything anyhow, i just use emacs and the latex cjk package to create japanese docs. since emacs can handle japanese input all by itself, without needing kinput or jserver, it is a good way to do the occasional japanese letter or report. but if you need to search the net in japanese or share japanese language spreadsheets, it isn't gonna help any. hope this helps, -- Chris Spackman www.openhistory.org gpg: 9B6B 860E 7C06 787F 366F 5D3E 7152 DCB2 FC51 51B9 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I could try pinging a dns server somewhere and capture the result, grep it or something, but there must be an easier way.. any ideas? (traceroute maybe?) I am gonna add alot more to the script, I want it to test the connection 5 times or more before it assumes its not working. and I want the script to count how many times it issues ifup ppp0 and not do it more then 5 times an hour.. anyone feel like jumping in with some suggestions??? :-) Here is what I have so far: #!/bin/sh # Set some variables. IFCONFIG = `which ifconfig` EXTERNAL = ppp0 # Test if ppp0 is ip: if [ ! -z `$IFCONFIG $EXTERNAL 2/dev/null | grep UP` ]; then # Interface ppp0 is up, # now see if it is working properly. # try contacting a site. ping? traceroute? other? # Yet to do that.. wondering what the best method is... else # ppp0 is down. # Hard reset the modem. (how?) # Start the ppp0 connection. ifup ppp0 fi Thats a long way from finished.. I want the scritp to test the connection 5 times or more.. (I mean try connecting to an external src) before it assumes the connection isn't working properly, its a dialup machine, so if its mailing a big file or something, it might not respond for a while.. so I don't want to assume that one test is definative.

Re: [newbie] Pro's con's for separate partitions?
to switch to Debian just for that. Also, since Familiar and Intimate are based on Debian, I can be consistant when switching from my desktop to my ipaq. Anyway, when messing with apt-get, I had to re-install a few times apt-get does 'exist' more or less for Mandrake as well, but it's certainly not a widel-used method. Nevertheless, I've played a bit with it. I can get some packages upgraded or installed successfully with it, but most of the time it fails because of connection problems and not having a decent sources.list. One of the list members sent me his, but mirror lists seem to change frequently. Either that, or they were all busy every time I tried upgrading. That's happpened as well with urpmi.

Re: [newbie] Unix Book
I don't know about targeting network programming. But the best book I've ever seen on C programming is C How To Program, second edition, I've heard that Stevens' book is widely regarded to be the definitive Unix programming text. Others go with Kernighan and Ritchie's book; the latter is more just a synopsis of the language rather than an intero programming text. Personally, I haven't looked at C or other how to program books in quite sometime (I used one called variations in C when I was taking a C programming course in school) but I'd hazard a guess that many of them are way too windows or dos-based.

[newbie] Belkin UPS
I finally purchased and installed a Belkin F6C525-SER UPS. (The SER means that it can communicate to the box via a serial connection -- in my case, ttyS0/COM1). My next step is to install software that will shut my 8.2 system down when the power dies. Belkin offers Linux software to do this for various distributions. Sadly, Mandrake is not one of them, so I'll probably try Belkin's Redhat 7.2 stuff, but I'd like to hear from someone who has been down this road about pitfalls, alternative software.

It is determined by how few steps (keystrokes and separate manual operations) are required. In the case of MS Print Screen, there are only two steps: #1. Press the Print Screen button. #2. Press paste in any application program in which one desires to place the captured image. I use it numerous times almost every day, capturing screen prints and pasting them in LView (the most easy-to-use, versatile, graphics tool I have), or in Paint or in Paint Shop Pro or in Pagemaker or in any other application program where I can quickly and easily crop, resize, or edit the captured image. For comparison, using Ksnapshot with Linux, there are literally dozens of steps and keystrokes involved in saving a captured image to a file then opening that file within any given application program. Why is it not possible, with Linux, to use the Print Screen key to simply capture a screen image into memory (as MS clipboard apparently does) so that it can be pasted, from memory, into any given application program without having to go through all the extra steps of saving the captured image to a file first and then several more steps and keystrokes to import the saved file into any given application? Surely there must be a way to do this. Joe Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
