Pensavo innanzi tutto di spostare tutta la mia roba sulla partizione di linux; in secondo luogo di darle l'accesso al solo Win$ (tanto e' li' che deve imparare ad usare il PC e guardarsi i suoi CD rom). Ma se per caso facesse un format C o qualcosa di simile, un detree, qualsiasi disastro... che rischi corro? (Tranquillo Mike: non e' un portatile, non lo puo' surriscaldare tantomeno sballonzolarlo acceso qua e la'. e' un big tower da 70 cm). Per ora ho un disco fisso unico (il secondo e' talmente piccolo che non fa testo) con tre partizoni, quella principale di Win$ (la piu' antica), la ext2 e la swap (quelle piu' care :-) ); sarebbe meglio forse che comprassi un secondo disco fisso e impedissi l'accesso ai dati via hardware? O non ne vale assolutamente la pena, e ci sono altri metodi sicuri? E se per caso la suddetta persona si beccasse un virus, su Win$??? Non vedo particolari problemi: un eventuale format c: formatterebbe soltanto la partizione win (l'unica che riesce a vedere), senza intaccare le partizioni Linux. Piuttosto l'unico rischio potrebbe essere rappresentato dalla cancellazione del mbr, con la temporanea impossibilità di accedere al sistema; consiglierei la cancellazione di lilo dallo stesso, ed il suo trasferimento su floppy, operazione questa che produrrebbe vari vantaggi: ti consentirebbe di possedere l'unica chiave di accesso a Linux, ed impedirebbe al barbaro ( o, da quanto ho capito, Barbara) in questione di poter persino imaginare l'esistenza di un altro sistema operativo oltre a win. Per quanto riguarda i virus, sebbene non pensi che possano avere effetti negativi su Lin (ma in questo caso passo la pala a chi può avere altre esperienze al riguardo), il mio consiglio è di armarsi di un potente antivirus (ovvio), ed eventualmente, di limitare l'accesso in rete della persona attraverso minacce di tipo fisico. Certo che, comunque, poteva essere un bell'esperimento per saggiare le proprie capacità di amministratore di sistema..Proprio sicura di non volerle far provare l'ebbrezza di un volo su un pinguino ?

Ti conviene allora rendere estraibile un hardisk quello di tua pertinenza, lo sfili e lo metti al sicuro dentro la cassaforte, quando non ci sei. Se invece hai un minimo di fiducia in lui fai sparire solo qualunque CD d'installazione che hai in giro, dischi di ripristino e altro e crei un utente limitato da destinare a lui sia in linux che in XP anche se in modalità rescue al boot di Linux si ha disposizione comandi pericolosi come fdisk ma si potrebbe ovviare a questo mettendo una password anche in lilo, così facendo però gli impedirai di usare Linux per cui secondo me è megliore la soluzione dell'harddisk estraibile. Sull'harddisk che rimane gli farai trovare Linux e se vorrai anche XP a sua completa disposizione, poi quando ritorni se tutto è a posto rimetti il tuo harddisk. Il problema rimane di quante volte al giorno dovrai effettuare querste operazioni. A proposito hai pensato invece di dedicargli un proprio PC personale ? Lo so che è costoso ma almeno non dovrai condividere il tuo computer perchè è come se nell'abitazione di una famiglia numerosa ci sia un solo WC... quando ne hai necessità c'è sempre un'altro che ne ha bisogno, ma riesci ad aspettare allora non ci sono problemi :-) .

Re: [newbie] xmms for CD
This is long-winded, but it works - Start XMMS Right click on it - choose Options Prefs Audio I/O plugins Audio CD Reader Configure Options Add CD to playlist. If you haven't got Audio CD Reader you need to Install the rpm xmms-cdread from the Mandrake discs. Open xmms and get to the Audio/ I/O plugins tab You should now have both CD Audio Player and Audio CD Reader. Disable CD Audio Player Enable Audio CD Reader.

Re: [newbie] Ten Things Wrong with Linux
I think Tom and Adam (the author of the article) come from different computing cultures, and I can appreciate both of them. Tom's culture places the onus on the user; Adam's places it on the developer. Personally, I wouldn't want Open Source development to go too far in either direction. Ideally we would have an OS that would be comprehensible to a person of average intelligence with no RTFM, but would not hinder the advanced user by dumbing things down. This is an unattainable ideal, but an approachable one; as we progress towards it, we are bound to lurch from one side or another.

Re: [newbie] No Sound. No Drivers. No Luck
How Goes? I can pretty much tell you 8.2 is a waste of time on that type of setup. I've got a similar setup, except for the MSI equiv components and using 8.2 on them was a disaster in progress. I'd recommend 2 things in your current position, either a) use the 1 month old Cooker Snapshot CD's b) use the latest cooker. You could posibily try to upgrade your kernel to the cooker equiv, which will solve your southbridge issues, and I'm quite sure it also has the basic audigy driver that creative released (about 2 weeks after 8.2). As for everything else, you should be fine reading the Nvidia Driver tutorials to get 3D running, however there is no way to fix your current setup w/o upgrading atleast the kernel, or moving to cooker completely.

When I started in Linux, I bought a few distros (some real shareware type stuff and Caldera Open Linux 2.2). Fortunately, I did manage to install Open Linux 2.2 -- it wasn't too bad, IIRC. Anyway, a little later I joined a LUG and got a stack of 10 to 15 different distros. Tried to install them -- if they installed I tried them out for a few hours. Eventually decided (at that time) to stick to Mandrake. Probably half of those distros didn't install at all on my particular machine(s), and another 1/4 of those weren't user friendly enough to bother trying. The point is there are a lot of alternatives in the Linux world. SuSE and Mandrake are, IMHO, two good choices. There are others, depending on your knowledge, experience, tolerance for frustration, etc., like Red Hat, Slackware, Debian, GenToo, etc. Join a LUG, try a variety of distros.

I get ~4300 FPS from a Geforce 4 Ti4400. 2109.000 FPS is what I got on my GeForce 4 MX (Athlon 1.1GHz). Miark Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] NVidia 4 video card and XF86
Hey Ross, Is there anyway that you can just send me ur XF86 config file? I mean I dont know if that will really help me out..but I have tried everything and this is very frustrating...I cant get the drivers to work right... Its weird because it never gave me a choice on what version of XF86 to use...does that matter?? I dont know.. but I read the readme file and did everything it told me to...but still not nvidia splashscreen and no glx at all Andrew, my XF86Config-4 is appended to this message. As far as I understand it X will use version 4 over other versions as long as there is a XF86Config-4 file (and of course only if 4 is installed). Another question is; are you using the stock mandrake 8.2 kernel (i.e. you've not upgraded it)? Also what reasons are you getting for X not starting? Are you getting something like kernel module not loading (I can't remember the exact wording). Check out the contents of /var/log/XFree86.O.log and post back for further help.

Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Well, you are lucky to run linux overclocked. Quite frequently it will not overclock because driver timing is already tight on the specs instead of loose and sloppy like other OSes. The Audigy is supported barely by emu10k driver module and mostly in non-digital mode. At the present time it is mainly a Winsound card. This is typical for a lot of new hardware. The manufacturer issues it with windrivers which will work on some versions of windows and _maybe_ a binary-only linux driver which will work on _one_ kernel compilation. After a source wrapper is prepared, then it can possibly be compiled for other kernels. Understand that the windows kernel changed between 95 and 98 not by a single byte! Anyway, with a lot of playing around, many people are hearing sound from the Audigy. Study the recent archives of this list and you can find examples. Naturally the next release due out in a couple of months will handle the Audigy better. It was actually released to the market about the same time as the 8.2 release.

The IRQ is 11 and is shared between advansys, usb and ensoniq

The question is does this indicate failed/failing memory ? I have never used memtest before so am unsure what I should expect (also unsure whether 9 cycles was enough or should I have left it running until it got bored and quit) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com One failure is one too many. REmove the memory, burnish contacts with eraser end of pencil, degrease with isopropyl alcohol, clear slots with compressed air can, reinsert. Run memory test again. Or alternatively, replace memory and run memory test again. It may be the motherboard circuitry. But a freeze like that, with all the power management stuff turned off, is indicative of a hardware problem. If the BIOS has ACPI and it is activated, that may be the cause of a freeze when left unattended for a while. But yes, the extremely low probability failure is unacceptable in computing. If something has a finite chance of failure, no matter how small, that allows you to calculate how often to expect it. There is no doubt whatsoever that it will occur. There is no almost passing a memory test. Windows is beloved of hardware manufacturers for that very reason. Freeze-ups are so common from software causes that hardware flaws are masked. Not so with linux. A freeze unrecoverable is a rare occurrence. Even frozen boxes seem to be able to switch to console or to allow an ssh entry or the emergency alt-sysrq-r alt-sysrq-s alt-sysrq-b to go to raw keyboard input, emergency disk sync and reboot without a reset switch. But here is what I have (last reboot was to change hardware) [tester@v5 tester]$ uptime 12:16pm up 16 days, 21:14, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.00 [tester@v5 tester]$ [tester@msn75 tester]$ uptime 12:08pm up 45 days, 19:41, 2 users, load average: 0.49, 0.17, 0.06 [tester@msn75 tester]$ These are two of my systems, the second an IBM PC300GL P2-300, the other a Duron 900 on a POJ Matsonic motherboard with the most buggy VIA chipset ever. The gateway I could post as well, but that was last altered before the release of 8.2 and is running with the latest updates, so it isn't fair, but its uptime is more than 180 days, because I last booted it December 24, 2001 (yep on my birthday when I changed its physical location and the location of the DSL it was connected to. I did not even boot it when I stopped using DSL and switched to cable modem. It is another IBM PC. Yes, all of these have passed memtest left for 3-4 days running, since they are production machines.

[newbie] Crashed new system!
Dear All, I decided to try to tweak my video display last night and ended up not being able to get back into LM8.2. I tried to work with files through console because I was able to at least get to a console but nothing was working. I really do not know what video driver I should use for my brand new Athlon XP1600+ system with an ELitegroup Ecs Motherboard with onboard video. lan, and sound. It is an Elite ECS Socket A l7vmm motherboard with th VT8375 Northbridge and VT8233A Southbridge chipset. This system is only a couple of days old. LM8.2 installed quite nicely. I used the recommended install so the video was setup automatically and I do not know what driver was chosen. It worked right away with everything working immediately except some sound. The sound worked automatically and beautifully for CD's but not xmms. That is a minor problem now to be addressed later. I decided to do a fresh install today thinking that would straighten all out. It seemed to go through the install quite nicely but then w;hen I booted up it would not boot into Linux but just showed 0404040404004 infinitely running across the black screen. When I put in the rescue disk I could get into the console and see that all my files were still there and accessible, but I am a newbie and did not know how to get Xconfigurator going through text and would not known what driver to choose anyway. I printed out some info about my system before the crash and for the video it says: VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc: Unknown device 8d04(prog-if 00[VGA]) Subsystem:Elitegroup Computer systems: Unknown device 0a76 FLags: bus naster, 66Mhz, medium devsel. latency 32, IRq11, mEMORY AT 3100(32-Bit, non-prefetchable) size =512K Memory at d800 ( 32- bit, prefetchable) size =128M Expansion ROM at unassigned disabled size =64k I have reinstalled twice and the same thing happened. Now I am using Partition commander to format my drive for Linux hoping this will take care of the problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
