[newbie-it] hardware
Ciao a tutti, devo montare un PC su cui verrà installato anche Linux. Quindi mi serve avere la certezza che tutti i pezzi hardware siano in grado di funzionare senza problemi. Qualcuno saprebbe, quindi, consigliarmi qualche marca/modello che funzioni perfettamente con Linux dei seguenti componenti? Grazie! * Scheda di rete * Masterizzatore (IDE normale, interno... non dovrebbero esserci problemi, che io sappia... qualcuno sa se qualche modello sia da evitare?) * Modem ISDN (esterno o interno non importa) * Tastiera e mouse senza fili (funzionano o danno problemi?) Come sempre, grazie in anticipo a chi vorrà/saprà rispondermi! Daniele

Prima di fare cose troppo complicate, ha provato a lanciare il MandrakeControlCenter, ad aprire la sezione scanner e vedere se il tuo è tra quelli che si configurano automaticamente? :-) Altrimenti, un buon tutorial (purtroppo solo in francese) su come installare uno scanner parallelo lo trovi su www.lea.org ciao, Andrea

La mia era una risposta ad una ormai quasi inutile paura di non poter fare; fior di cervelli hanno usato il loro tempo per una interoperativita' tra win e linux per cui proprio le operazioni di passaggio sono garantite. Nel caso specifico mi viene in mente kmail ma anch e, come alla fine ho fatto io mozilla che con il suo messenger non ha nulla da invidiare a express , in alternativa c'è evolution che ricorda moltissimo il buggatissimo outlook . Il consiglio è di rischiare non cadrai, la rete di linux è fitta , fatta di amici, fatta da persone capaci e che soprattutto hanno fatto in passato quel salto che ti accingi a fare tu. abbi fiducia ci rivediamo da linux... francesco

Fossi in te mi dirigerei su un Terminal Adapter ISDN esterno e seriale, lasciando perdere gli interni (che dovrebbero essere piu' economici e, si dice, piu' performanti per ridotta latenza, ma c'e' sempre il problema di indovinare il chipset e di far funzionare il driver) e gli usb (che, a parte il fatto che non so neanche se son supportati, creano sempre qualche problema ...) Un TA ISDN esterno e seriale viene considerato dal sistema esattamente allo stesso modo di un modem analogico (quindi non servono moduli specifici, ne' isdn4linux ne' altro, basta p.es. il solito kppp). Per es. io l'anno scorso usavo un Digicom Tintoretto ISDN esterno seriale 64Kb/128Kb (piu' o meno il costo attuale ho visto che si aggira intorno ai 130 EUR incl. IVA, tanto per avere un'idea); leggendo le istruzioni e impostando un'apposito comando AT la velocita' era piuttosto buona (diciamo molto vicino al massimo teorico: 8KB, a cui si aggiungeva il beneficio della compressione dei dati, se supportata dall'altro capo del filo ...). Considera pero' che se hai un abbonamento a doppio canale (128Kb) la seriale (115,2Kb tendenzialmente) fara' da collo di bottiglia. Se invece propendi per una scheda ISDN interna, ti conviene informarti prima del tipo di chipset che monta, e dare un'occhiata a qualche HowTo: http://www.judaweb.com/devs/isdn4linux.html http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/connect/cisdn.html (qualche tempo fa c'era anche un howto della SuSE, ma risulta misteriosamente scomparso :O ) -- GNU/Linux Slackware 9.0beta1 * LU #210970 LM #98222 SU #12583 gcc 3.2 compila di tutto, kernel incluso :-))

Quando avvio kde, si pianta il mouse al centro della schermata nera, e sono costretto a fare un reboot Allora o pensato di reinstallareMandrake 9.0 formattando tutte le partizioni il risultato e' rimasto sempre lo stesso (Strano!), allora ho reinstallato la 8.2, ma niente Ora mi chiedo ho formattato tutte le partizioni Linux, ho effettuato un fdisk/mbr, i settaggi impostati durante l'installazione sono giusti ALLORA PERCHE' NON FUNZIONA???

[newbie] RE: [newbie] Connecting to Internet
You want the Linux Network Administrators Guide. It's available as a PDF or HTML on the web or in print by O'Reilly. We cannot do the entire subject justice in an email. Check out The Linux Documentation Project (www.tldp.org) However I got online by following the Mandrake wizard, for a standalone system. You need to get the following information, from your ISP or your previous OS. The ISP's access telephone number username password your fully qualified domain name* If you should use PPP or SLIP (PPP appears to be preferable) If you should enable header compression If you should use DHCP If not then your IP adddress, the IP address of at least one DNS name server, and the name or IP address of the default gateway. If you ask questions like this then they will help you. It's just that they don't want to get into Linux. *For example: my FQDN from my ISP is soronlin.demon.co.uk As a standalone configuration it would be reasonable to make the domain name demon.co.uk and the host name soronlin However if you have a house LAN then this wont work. It's a good idea to make (in my case) soronlin.demon.co.uk the domain name of the house, and to add a hostname onto it. So my machine might be snoopy.soronlin.demon.co.uk This allows routing to be handled correctly, otherwise I couldn't communicate with anotheruser.demon.co.uk I am assuming that this is a dial-up link. If you have a cable router then things get simpler, but you still need the IP addresses of nameservers, and you need to remember/find out the address of the router to set as the default gateway. Setting up a server for the house is much more complex. I find that the firewall configuration wizard does not work for me, and I am currently blaming the fact that I have an ethernet NIC and a dialup link, which you may also have. Sharing the modem to the other machines is a whole new can of worms called IP Masquerading: read the N.A.G. In short, you can use the wizard to get online, but read the NAG to make it a server.

John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you get an internal HCF/HSF modem (PCI) - they'll have a Rockwell chipset - and even though they're WinModems, you can get the drivers for them quite easily. And they're not all that hard to configure. External modems are nice, but you DO have to make sure you can get drivers for them.

[newbie] Mandrake Online won't work in 8.2
I have been having this problem all along, with the first time I ever loaded 8.2 being the only exception --- when I try to use Mandrake Online to update MDK 8.2, it returns a dialog box that says, Mandrake Online could not be contacted, please try again at a later time. It only worked the very first time I installed 8.2; never again thereafter! Here's what I understand (or think I do...): I go on-line with MDK to create a user account. I give my info and it sends me back a cookie to authenticate me, my machine and what updates have been applied. Like most, I have had to wipe out my 8.2 installation several times for various reasons, so when I went through the subscription process, I used the same account information, allowing MDK to recognize me. As soon as it does, it begins to ask my computer for specific info about itself. After that.it gives me this error message. If I create a new account, it doesn't change the outcome. I even removed the cookies thinking that would set things straight at my end. UH-uh.

I had a symbolic link on my desktop to a microsoft Excel file in my Documents directory. When I first created the link it did not seem to cause a problem but now, everytime I drag the file from my documents directory and say Link Here it send the machine into an endless memory eating loop untill I kill the kio_thumbnail process. It seems to only be with that Excel file as some others I tested did not cause this problem.

Re: [newbie] galeon search
I did this in Galeon: cnn ENTER I got: keyword:cnn in Google, with the search results in the browser's window. I did this: cnn.com And got http://www.cnn.com/, which is what is expected by most of us. Are you saying that you 'are', or 'are not', typing the suffix (i.e; .com, .net, .org...) when you enter only a partial URL? If you do not type in a the suffix, it will assume that you are asking for a search on that word. If I type in the suffix (.com), and not the prefix (www.) or transport protocol (http://), Galeon will assume that you are looking for a URL address and handle it accordingly. This is not really unusual for a modern Web browser. Internet Explorer in Windows acts this way, as does Galeon and Konqueror in Linux. However, I have noticed that Netscape and Mozilla will treat anything typed in the URL locator as a URL. The reason for that is that both programs supply a search button to the right of the URL locator to do what the other would do automatically. It may be a function of the using the Geiko engine that they both now share.

During the install, when the installer came to the point of configuring the video settings, that process failed with some error message, something like invalid configuration. I tried to select Radeon several times, all with the same effect. (One would think I'd learn that if a computer does something one way once, most likely it will do it the same way again.) I ended up clicking through that process, thinking it was configuring the usage of vesa video. When Mandrake boots it boots just fine up until it tries to start xwindows, and that process exits, so no xwindows. I tried running xf86config. That said something like there is a correct configuration, but there is information missing in the xf86PciInfo.h file I checked the ATI site, and couldn't find any driver for the 9000 cards. Only 8500 and below. Anyway, I'm wondering if: 1. Radeon 9000 cards work with Mandrake 2.

During the install, when the installer came to the point of configuring the video settings, that process failed with some error message, something like invalid configuration. I tried to select Radeon several times, all with the same effect. (One would think I'd learn that if a computer does something one way once, most likely it will do it the same way again.) I ended up clicking through that process, thinking it was configuring the usage of vesa video. When Mandrake boots it boots just fine up until it tries to start xwindows, and that process exits, so no xwindows. I tried running xf86config. That said something like there is a correct configuration, but there is information missing in the xf86PciInfo.h file I checked the ATI site, and couldn't find any driver for the 9000 cards. Only 8500 and below. Anyway, I'm wondering if: 1. Radeon 9000 cards work with Mandrake 2. Do I need to reinstall (run through the installation process again), or is there some configuration I can do in the text files? or just wait for a while My computer (just put together): Asus KT400 mb Athlon 1.667 Ghz Radeon 9000 agp card Thanks, Bryant _ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

[newbie] DHCP client problems
I've been using Mandrake 8.1 quite happily for some months with a fixed local (192.168.123.x) IP address on a home network. I'm connected to the internet via a dedicated firewall/router attached to my ATT Broadband cable modem. Unfortunately, ATT just switched from DNS servers with fixed IP addresses to ones with dynamic IP addresses, so I have to switch my linux box to use DHCP, so that it gets the right addresses for the name servers, and I'm having major problems. I used the Connection panel under Network Internet in the Mandrake Control Center to switch to using DHCP. However, once I do that, lots of programs start complaining that they can't find the IP address corresponding to my host name, aclinux: 1. when I boot the computer, it no longer boots to the graphical login screen, but instead gives me the text login. When I log in and check the syslog, I see messages like: Nov 9 01:40:44 aclinux gdm[1909]: gdm_auth_secure_display: Error getting hentry for aclinux ... gdm[1897]: Failed to start the display server several times in a short time period; disabling display :0 2. If I log in in text mode and then type startx, X and Gnome start, but Gnome prints another warning about not being able to find the host IP, and how it won't work properly without it. 3. proftpd gives a message: proftpd: aclinux - Fatal: unable to determine IP address of `aclinux` and dies, so now I have internet access, but no ftp access My Windows 98 machine on the same network has no problem resolving aclinux to the DHCP-assigned address. I can find the DHCP-assigned IP address for my linux box manually by looking in the /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases file. I suppose I could write a script to modify /etc/hosts on startup, (though I don't know where to put that script to ensure that it runs before the login or proftpd startup) but it seems like there must be a standard way to do this.
