Però è inutilizzabile: dal MCC la connessione non risulta attiva (benchè il modem sia effettivamente collegato al server), e nessun programma riesce ad accedere alla rete!

Re: [newbie] restarting X disables winmodem
Thanks very much for your help, Stephen, Brian and Joe. I'm very grateful. Nice to hear from the lucky country when you're an exile in London. As far as I can tell, this is the only driver available. I've just installed a newer version, and the same thing happens. Contents of /etc/modules.conf are as follows: probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi probeall usb-interface usb-uhci above snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1 alias /dev/ttySHCF[0-9]* hcfpciserial alias char-major-240 hcfpciserial alias /dev/cuaHCF[0-9]* hcfpciserial alias char-major-241 hcfpciserial alias /dev/modem hcfpciserial options hcfpciserial serialmajor=240 calloutmajor=241 pcivendorid=0x14F1 pcideviceid=0x1036 Doing a 'modprobe hcfpciserial' doesn't change anything I'm afraid, nor does substituting any of the aliases. I think it must be something to do with the drivers being loaded only under user id, because I've just found out how to restart X via the GUI after logging out of a KDE session. This does not cause the modem to pack up (works for all users), presumably because there was never a need to become root in this process. I'd still like to know whether the entries in /etc/modules.conf will load the drivers for root, and if not how one alters them, if only as an exercise in understanding. But anyway, in future there will be no problem. Sorry for the trouble and my ignorance - only started with Linux a couple of weeks ago.

[newbie] lm_sensors install and configuration
Hi, I've now had time to reconfigure the lm_sensors install and compare with my bios settings :- M8.2 lm_sensors Install No.2 amd configuration 10.11.02 [root@localhost root]# sensors-detect This program will help you to determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. You need to have done a `make install', issued a `depmod -a' and made sure `/etc/conf.modules' (or `/etc/modules.conf') contains the appropriate module path before you can use some functions of this utility. Read doc/modules for more information. Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c[-/]* files for some things. You can use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create these /dev files if you do not have them already. If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built-in you can safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may seem a bit confusing, but they will still work. We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters. You do not need any special privileges for this. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): yes Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-viapro' for device 00:11.0: VIA Technologies VT8233 VLink South Bridge Probe succesfully concluded. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Module `i2c-viapro' already loaded. Do you now want to be prompted for non-detectable adapters? (yes/NO): yes Load `i2c-elektor' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): yes /lib/modules/2.4.18-6mdk/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-elektor.o.gz: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-6mdk/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-elektor.o.gz failed modprobe: insmod i2c-elektor failed Loading failed ()... skipping.

Load `i2c-philips-par' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no): yes Module loaded succesfully. Load `i2c-velleman' (say NO if built into your kernel)?

To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded. If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this. i2c-dev is already loaded. We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case. If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can specify that address to remain unprobed. That often includes address 0x69 (clock chip).

Hola, Frank. This is what I do: Installed gkrellm-1.2.13-3mdk.rpm + gkrellm-plugins-1.2.13-1mdk.rpm Then, take note of values as are reported by BIOS (enter Setup) and, finally, right click on gkrellm and fine tune each value to match BIOS values.

The temps you see in bios, even after a warm reboot are indicative of a system that is under very low load and isn't up to operating temperature. Temps after booting the OS, specially under load, should be higher than what bios reported. The important thing to note with voltages is that they stay steady.

Re: [newbie] how to mount zip drive, post install, Dell laptop
Hi, Thanks for the advice. In the end, I selected the upgrade option on my reinstall and didn't reformat as I didn't fancy going to the trouble of re-installing all the extra stuff I'd added since the original installation. This took about ten minutes and when I rebooted, the drive was detected, even down to there being an icon for it on the desktop. I set up a mount point using Control Centre and eventually got the permissions right. It's working fine now with no printing conflicts so far. Technoslick wrote: Sorry for the very late reply, Graham, but this is the best that I can do when I 'get' your post 'four days' after you made it. sigh I am going to cover a lot of ground in this post to make sure that whatever results you get are not because of any neglected set-up issues. If this is not a multi-boot installation, just MDK Linux, I would say it isn't that much extra work to wipe everything off and start as if the drive was being first baptized with Linux. I have this thing for removing all possible variables when I do something like this. It's up to you whether you want to keep your current installation and just load new over it. If you do decided to start over 'clean', use the Linux 'fdisk' to remove all your Linux partitions. After writing the deletion to the drive, insert your MDK CD #1 in the primary CD-ROM drive and turn the box off. You didn't mention whether this was a dual-boot/multi-boot set-up. I am going to assume is not. you can adjust all of this accordingly. When you next boot-up, on starting your install, you need to go into the BIOS and check two settings before installing Linux. The first is that 'PNP O/S' is set to 'No'. the second is that your printer port is set to whatever your drive and/or printer needs. ECP is generally required for all modern printers. ECP-EPP is also good. SPP is uni-directional printing, generally for the older, dumber lasers, very old ink-jets and dot-matrix printers. You did not say whether you plan on daisy-chaining a printer to the back of the Zip drive. I strongly recommend that you don't, if the printer is a relatively new ink-jet or laser. If you still have the documentation for your printer, see if there is a reference to this. I have seen it stated before. Check the documentation for the Zip drive (you probably don't have any, right?) to see whether it can work under ECP or must have SPP. Iomega has stated that some of the earlier models 'must' run under SPP. If this is true for yours (and you probably won't know until after all is said and done), you will have to make some compromise or buy another printer port card. If you can afford to, have space in the computer for it, and are inclined to open your computer to put one in, get a high-speed printer port card. You will always have the best performance and 'luck' when each of these devices are on its own printer port. Connect your Zip drive up to the parallel port, daisy-chain your printer, if you must, and make sure that both are on before starting the install of MDK. Boot-up, check your BIOS as I mentioned earlier, make your adjustments if necessary, save and re-boot into your MDK installation. During the initial stages of the install, your Zip drive will be recognized and the appropriate parallel port/SCSI configuration made. MDK may also recognize your printer, too. Even then, you will have to see in the end if you can use the Zip drive and the printer, alternately at first, then together (like printing from a file on the Zip drive) to see what you can do or not do. I apologize for the very technical, and lengthy post on what should be a simple answer. My experience has shown that the only way to be insure that software works correctly is to make sure that the hardware it drives is set appropriately. A little patience and prep in the beginning assures you that any problems you encounter later on will more likely be software issues, not hardware related. Zip drives are notoriously testy by their very nature and cause more printer-related problems than any others I have seen out in the field. As the externals have gone to USB, these problems are almost non-existent. But, you and I are trying to apply old technology to a modern world of software driven printers that communicate back to the computer through that very same port. Here's where the two conflict, both polling and wanting control of that same port simultaneously. I am very ignorant of how Linux manages the two here, compared to the Windows environment, so the settings and prep here will make sure that Linux gets he best chance to makes things work right. Good luck to you. Let me know if you have any problems, either here or by direct email.

Hi All, I've been away from the linux world for a couple of years (last mandrake was 7.0) but now glad to be back though I have found that with Linux moving forward so rapidly I have to start from scratch again but never mind. The fun is in the learning. One problem I have is with the Galeon web browser on Gnome. I have installed the necessary java run time enviroment (J2RE.so) and it acknowledges the plugin but when loading a java game site the browser crahes and closes down. I have tried this on a few sites and it always happens. The browser is checked for Java in settings. Cheers Andrew Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] KDE KMail 1.4.3: Unknown Host Error Message
Daniel Looks like you are having trouble resolving Internet addresses. I assume you are online when you try get this message? Can you browse the Internet? If not take a look at the contents of the /etc/resolv.conf file and let us know what you see in there. You could also try using 62.253.162.50 in place of pop.ntlworld.com and 62.253.162.40 in place of smtp.ntlworld.com. As for the error message about smbd and nmbd, that is nothing to worry about. It simply means you have the Samba server running to allow networking between Linux and Windows, and there are currently no windows computers found when you close down. If you do not intend to use Samba networking, then you can disable it in Mandrake ControlCentreSystemServices. Just untick the start on boot box.

[newbie] CMedia 8738
Hello newbie, I am having one more problem with my new Mandrake installation. I cannot hear any sound. When I tried to configure the card via Mandrake Control Center, the system recognized the card (CM8738), but then said permission was denied to a certain device. Under RedHat, I could run as root #setup, configure there the card and that would solve the problem. Can I do something similar in Mandrake also? -- Robert mailto:golovniov;interia.pl -=Robert Beata Golovniov | Lviv, Ukraine=- ~ PGP public key: 0x633F6D07 (link 1 - embedded, link 2 - attached) Fingerprint: 1A1C 29F1 2A0C 4C4E 0BDA C8EE 5A1D 9F03 633F 6D07 mailto:riblviv;interia.pl?subject=PGP%20KeyBody=Please%20send%20key mailto:riblviv;interia.pl?subject=GPG%20KeyBody=Please%20send%20key ~ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Help, help, help Since downloading and installing ML 8.2 I have been bit by the Linux bug and now want to set up a home network. I ordered ML 9.0 from CheapBytes and have tried to install it on an old Hsing Tech motherboard with a Cyrex 686 processor and a BocaLAN 2000 network card. I apparently order the wrong kind of DRAM because only 65 meg of the 256 meg is recognized and the mouse only works sporadically. I'm serious about this network so I'm asking for suggestions. If I'm having trouble with the serial port on the motherboard then it seems unwise to try to upgrade the processor, buy the correct memory (if I can figure out what that is) and change the network card. I also think a 7 gig hd isn't enough for a server so I'm looking at something 20 gig or so. Of course, budget matters and also, I would like to make this a learning experience rather than buy a server box configured. The end result should be a server with and old HP printer connected to it (just in case) that is storing files for two Compaq Armada laptops, five Toshiba Satellite laptops and old iMac running System 8.6 and an even older Apple Workgroup Server that I use to run the ancient Mirror scanner. I don't care if the server is an internet gateway since I have a couple of 5 port hubs connected to the cable modem to allow internet access for multiple machines. I would, however, like to learn how to set up a mail server so that I can take advantage of the fact that I own a couple of domain names without paying someone like Hypermart 40 or 50 bucks a month. I also don't care about form factor. I can screw the motherboard right to the wall in my 'server closet', use the power supply from the tower case and string cables all over the walls if necessary.

[newbie] Warning on boot
I've been playing bzflag for a day or so and suddenly its began to lockup the system sporadically and causing a warm boot via the reset switch. During the inital startup of mandrake I noticed the following, I didn't get the whole line, I'm not sure how to pause the boot process :( EXT2-FS Warning checktime reached/exceeded,(can't remember which) running e2fsck is recommended. I've never noticed this before, of course I don't pay much attention to what scrolls by in the beginning and I try not to reboot unless I have to. What does this mean and is it something I need to do and if so, how? I doubt whether bzflag has anything to do with this at all but I can't figure out the reason for the sudden lockups in the game either. -- Regards Chris Registered Linux user #283774 http://counter.li.org 3:44pm up 5 min, 1 user, load average: 0.08, 0.14, 0.07 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Any Hope of Success?
Hi everyone... I've checked out the minimum system requirements for V9 as well as the archives, but we all know what minimum requirements mean... usually a definite maybe... I'm looking to install Mandrake Linux 9 on one of my older PC's. It is a Dell Dimension XPS M200s- a first generation Pentium-MMX processor running at 200 MHz with 64 MB of RAM and a 4 GB hard disk. Currently it is running Windows 98SE which I'm willing to blow away. I just want to learn Linux and I'm not looking for performance, although I may compile/install a few apps just to play. Do I have any reasonable hope for success here or will the 64 MB of RAM be a limitation that will prevent this from working? Thanks in advance!

Re: [newbie] home network vision (kind of long)
Richard; Before deciding what to do with your server, start by asking yourself if you plan on using it for quite a while, and whether or not it will become an important piece of your network. Slapping a server together out of spare parts and setting it up as a learning experience is always a good thing, but if you plan on relying on that server for storing important data, Internet gateway, FTP site, web-site, email, etc., then it makes good sense to invest some money into a reliable piece of equipment. Once you know the answer to these questions, you'll know how much money to invest in the server. By the way, sounds like your motherboard is NFG, and don't consider running a server on a Cyrix CPU, unless it's only for fun. Assuming that you've got some additional PC's connected to your network, consider using one of the more powerful ones as your server, and replacing that PC with something better. As an example, a PII-350 with 512 Mb of Ram, and a 10Gb drive to run the server, should do pretty good, as long as you install a second hard drive for storage purposes. If you install a CD burner in the server, then all the systems on your network should be able to share it via webmin, or Samba, allowing everyone in the house to burn CD's without disturbing anyone else. I haven't heard of a cablemodem that allows you to plug a hub into it, but the easiest way to solve any issues with that, would be to install 2 network cards in the server - one for the cablemodem, and one to the hub for the rest of your network. Get started with that and get back to the list.

Re: [newbie] home network vision (kind of long)
Correct memory should only be an issue with a really old mobo - these days it's just a choice between SDRAM (Athlons, Celerons and Pentiums I-III) and DDRAM (Pentium IV, which you obviously don't have). It's possible that you have a duff RAM chip. Otherwise go for a lower speed RAM or get a new mobo. How big a hard-disk you need for a server depends on what you're serving. 7GB sounds OK for most purposes, but if you have a humungous website or something to show the world (or your other computers) then obviously you'll need to upgrade.

RE: [newbie] home network vision (kind of long)
A board that old will more than likely require 72 pin SIMMs that MUST be installed in pairs. Either the remaining memory is DIMM or it isn't installed in pairs. Is the 64MB in there now installed as 2 32MBs or 1 64MB? If it's 2 32MBs then the board takes SIMMs. Also do you know how much memory the board supports? I imagine it must be more than 64MB but that's something else to look into (I have an old P90 and it supports up to 512MB so I imagine your board is somewhere in that range.)

I'm looking to install Mandrake Linux 9 on one of my older PC's. It is a Dell Dimension XPS M200s- a first generation Pentium-MMX processor running at 200 MHz with 64 MB of RAM and a 4 GB hard disk. Currently it is running Windows 98SE which I'm willing to blow away. I just want to learn Linux and I'm not looking for performance, although I may compile/install a few apps just to play. Do I have any reasonable hope for success here or will the 64 MB of RAM be a limitation that will prevent this from working? Thanks in advance! Marlo Montanaro It should be fine Mario. The KDE WindowManager will be pretty slow, so install some other Window Managers as well and see which one suits you best. (IceWM is quite like Win95, and is a good place to start) Avoid using KDE applications since they will slow your system down. As a very rough guide, applications beginning with 'g' or 'x' will tend to be faster than apps starting with 'k'. If you have trouble with a particular application being too slow, ask us and we can recommend a better alternative. derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] Radeon 9000, xwindows and Mandrake 9.0
I had the same problem same card the first time I loaded 9.0. However, the second time around I did a clean install and went with the vesa driver which it defaulted to and it runs great. No tux racer etc but for normal stuff it works fine. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

It would just mean that you have one network and shit loads (256^2-2) of unique host addresses available. By using CIDR (Classless Inter Domain Routing) you ignore the native class of the network and adjust the mask to suit your requirements of unique networks/unique hosts. The tighter you make your mask (adding bits to the default class mask), the more unique networks you have available, while limiting the amount of unique hosts that you can have per network. By the way, your example is incorrect. A 29 bit mask (255.255.255.248) will give you 6 possible hosts with 0 being the network address, 6 hosts, and 7 being the broadcast address. The way I like to think of it is in lots of 256. 256-248=8, minus 2 for your network and broadcast addresses and you are left with 6 possible hosts. 256/8=32, so you would be able to have 32 separate networks with 6 hosts each. There is really no need to go to the trouble of subnetting to this extent, however, unless you have need for multiple networks. I hope that my explanation has been understandable :) Regards, John... Thanks, John! I do understand...and like your 'lots' of 256' example. Guess when I am trying to figure out networks, it would help if I was awake:( -- Erik Linux User 288105 = Bill who? Micro what?

RE: [newbie] Soyo Dragon+ On-Board Sound
Funny you should mention that. I have a Soyo K7VX Dragon+ motherboard on one of my systems. It's not the one I'm running linux on, but my on-board sound did fail after just a few months. I had to buy a sound card to get my TV card sound to work again. Line-out still works, but line-in stopped working. This is with Windows XP.

[newbie] Internet no connect in LM9
Dear All, I decided to install LM 9 on my Compaq Presario 1700T laptop replacing 8.2. To my dismay I cannot get the ethernet to be configured. It is the compaq 10/100 nic ethernet and I believe uses the tulip driver. My laptop is then connected to the Toshiba cable modem via usb. This worked fine without much configuration if any in 8.2 but I cannot get it going in LM 9. Does anyone have any ideas? I am dual booting with Win98SE and it definitely works there. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Marcia Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] Strange Glib messages.
Hello everyone, When I shut down XFCE (my window manager), I see loads and loads of the same error message repeated on the console: Glib-CRITICAL: file gstrfuncs.c line 1194 (g_strcasecomp): assertion 's1 != NULL' failed. Can anyone tell me what this is, and the more: what can I do to fix this? I do not like messages with the word 'critical' in them. I don't know if it is XFCE that puts out this message, or another program. Thank you!
