[newbie-it] posta da salvare
ho usato KMail per la posta elettronica. Funziona benissimo, non l'avevo usata prima per pigrizia, chiedo scusa. una domandina. devo formattare i due PC che utilizzo e caricare Win XP sul posto di lavoro e Red Hat da casa (per prova). Riusciro a salvare la posta della lista scaricata con i nuovi Sist Op. e leggerla successivamente con MDK ? grazie guido

Aggiungi in fondo alle altre opzioni l'istruzione: hdX=ide-scsi dove X è la lettera del tuo dispositivo. Riavvia il computer. Il sistema adesso riconoscerà il tuo cdrom non più come /dev/hdX ma come /dev/scd1 (verifica che tale device sia effettivamente il cdrom provando ad esempio a montarlo specificando il device (leggiti man mount)).

Durante questo procedimento l'indirizzo di email non serve assolutamente a nulla. Anzi, io posso avere 100 indirizzi e-mail che puntano tutti ad una casella di posta (account!) Come dire una scatola a cui ci appiccico n. etichette di indirizzi e-mail diversi! Io devo conoscere l'account e la password e scarico totalmente la posta di quella casella! Per quanto riguarda l'SMTP è un server che mi permette di inviare posta! Non è assolutamente legato a che pop3 mi collego (ecco perché non è necesserario, nella maggior parte dei casi) loggarsi a questo server!

[newbie-it] registrazioni audio :'''(
buona sera oh gloriosa mailinglist! da quando sono passato alla mandrake 9 ho un problema con l'audio che sulla 8.2 non si verificava: quando faccio entrare un suono dal microfono o dalla line in questo si sente perfettamente ma non viene registrato. Su Aumix il microfono è settato con volume al massimo ed è segnalato come fonte di registrazione... ma se poi uso per esempio broadcast le registrazioni risultano completamente vuote nonostante al momento del tentativo i suoni che entravano fossero assolutamente udibili sulle casse del computer. Qualche anima pia ha qualche dritta da darmi?

Innanzi tutto chiedo umilmente perdono per l'inutile post precedente: l'ho spedito prima di controllare la posta e poi ho visto che il mio problema poteva forse essere risolto anche lui andando a giocare col server sonoro. Ora il problema è diverso: ho detto al server sonoro di andare in full duplex... ma quando ho spuntato quell'opzione ad ogni tentativo di registrazione il programma che uso si impasta... qualunque cosa faccia con le altre impostazioni. Con la 8.2 il full duplex andava quindi non capisco perchè ora le cose siano diverse. La scheda audio è una creative live player 1024 (forse può essere utile dirlo) grazie per l'aiuto

If you don't want to use the MDK control center you could install one of the diallers like kpppd (it's in kde-networking) or the gnome equivalent, of which I don't remember the name, or any other dialler. But be warned that pppd MUST run as root. That doesn't mean that you must be root to start it, it normally is suid.

Another thing to mention about the 192.168.x.x IP addresses is that they are classed as private (non-routable on the Internet). Thus you can use them at home for internal netorks.

[newbie] keeping ownership/groups and permissions using tar and smbmount
If i share a folder using samba on a LM8.1 machine. and then smbmount from a LM9 machine. The files on the LM8.1 machine as seen by the LM9 machine are owned by root and group root. But on the LM8.1 machine the owner and groups are the original owners of the files. The LM8.1 is about to be replaced with a LM9 + Dat drive. But for now I need to backup all the files on the LM8.1 machine using the Dat drive on the LM9 machine using tar, but i kneed to keep all owners and groups the same as the originals. I can't do this if the LM9 machine sees them as all owned as root. I smbmount using a normal user account, and do the tar ing as su.

Re: [newbie] home network vision (kind of long)
Scrap the motherboard. It isn't worth the time and effort if there is even one thing wrong with the board. If you shop around on the Web, you can still find someone selling AT/ATX boards that will fit your case and power supply, not to mention your processor and maybe the memory you bought for the old one. If you live in an area where you have a computer shop, check with them for any old boards that work, but are no longer of interest to them. For $25 or less, you might find the perfect solution to your needs. If you are going to put money into this box, seriously conside buying a new box, maybe without the monitor, keyboard, etc. for a couple of hundred dollars. As long as you find that the components are Linux compatible, you will have a much better server this way than what you would have sticking with what you got now. The advice that everyone else is giving you is good advice. However, if you are working on a tight budget and your needs/expectations are meager, I would suggest that you buy a new box for the most that you can afford and spend your time configuring the software. Nothing is more frustrating than wasting good money on bad hardware. Even a local computer shop could build you a barebones box for the money you would spend on memory, hard drive and processor upgrades. I am curious... If you have hubs connected to your cable modem, one must be a gateway/IP forwarding unit, with the others feeding off of it. Unless you are paying for multiple IPs through your cable modem service provider, as soon as the second machine comes on line, it will be denied access to the Web. Most cable modem service providers will not serve two boxes or more without paying for the privilege. I went through this here, and found that the best option for protection and network service was to let the Linksys gateway/firewall/switch do all the DHCP and IP forwarding to all my network clients. I never have to worry about the server being up to serf the Web. Is this what you are doing now? If so, I wouldn't put another NIC in the server...let the harware gateway/firewall do the work. My opinion based on what works for me and my clients. But, you do have some decisions to make before you can worry about that.

Re: [newbie] Funny Mouse in MDK 9.0
Hey, Dark Lord! I should have mentioned that I am running XFree86 3.3.6, not 4.2.2. Anyway, I found the fix, and maybe a conclusion to make, just after I received your post... I have two configuration files that seem to be very similar. One is 'XF86Config', the other 'XF86Config-4', both located in the /etc/X11 directory. The URL I included in my last post spoke of modifying the latter configuration file, 'XF86Config-4', so that is what I did. When I didn't see any results, I huffed, then went back to my computer to scour it for the elusive answer. I kept thinking about the other config file -- XF86Config. When I opened it up, I saw how very similar it was to 'XF86config-4', so I decided to add the Option line with the same resolution as in the other. Bingo! I was a winner! The cursor move smoothly, albeit a little faster than before, and no skipping or delayed start of the cursor. It flies just as quickly and smoothly through KDE menus as it does on the Desktop. So, is it a correct assumption that 'XF86config-4' is for configuring the 4.x.x version of X-server and 'XF86config' is for the older 3.x.x server? If so, as long as I am working with this older version, should I only make changes to the 'XF86config' file and leave the other one alone? Thanks, DL T - Original Message - From: Ronald J.

Just realised your question refers to RPMs in Texstars 'contrib' folder. These RPMS were not created by Texstar, and if they are signed, they are signed with the original packagers key. So unless you can track down the packager (perhaps by using kpackage to look at the changelog), then you will just have to decide whether or not to install without a key. derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] about DMA Mdk Linux
- Original Message - From: Technoslick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2002 13:14:05 -0500 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] about DMA Mdk Linux If you had it enabled in Windows and didn't experience any hard drive data corruption or diffculties in read from your CD-ROM, the answer that all of us would agree upon isyes, it's OK to activate the use of DMA in Linux for hard drives and CD-ROMs. The answer is in the fact that it was already working for you in Windows. Concerns have only been with some questionanble motherboards and some older devices that do not work through DMA. I still use an Acer 2X2X4 CD-RW drive who's instructions specifically forbid activiting DMA support. The advantage is speed, though this is no guarantee that everything you do on your computer will be blinding fast. I have MDK 9.0 on an AMD-K6-2/500 with 256 MB RAM, an S3 Savage 2000 video card with 64 MBs RAM, and it isn't acting like a Spring chicken for me. Neither does Brand X (read as -- Windows XP Pro) Still, I can't complain. I like KDE 2.x and 3. If I have to wait a little, I'm OK with this. Have you checked to make sure that you have your video card properly recognized and configured, and that your expectations are in line with the computer you are running MDK on? If you continue to feel that you are not running correctly, pass more information on to the listserv.

I have a dual-boot system, Mdk 9.0 WinME. In ME I have DMA enabled for both cdrom drive and hd, and it seems to be working great. Does that mean that DMA will be a good idea under Mdk?? Will it give me an appreciable increase in performance? My system is working great now, but I use KDE and I find it just a bit sluggish. Perhaps this is normal from what I am reading about KDE. I use Mdk about 99% of the time. I know there has been some discussion on the list lately about DMA, and I wonder just how much difference it really makes? TIA's for any feedback. --Angus *** Thanks T for the great answer. I don't want to make it sound like I'm not happy with my Mdk 9.0..it rocks! It seems a tad slower than what I am used to when opening progs and things. No biggie though. I have a Dell Dimm with Celeron 900Mhz, 20gig Ultra ATA 7200 rpm hd, 256 megs ram. I have integrated video on my (82810 Intel 3D AGP graphics controller) processor, which seems correctly identified by Mdk. It works pretty slick actually. I had no real problems w/8.2 and now 9.0. My only real problems were with a Conexant HCF winmodem. But, even that is working beautifully, thanks to the great driver written by Marc Boucher at mbsi ( http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv/ ). My Dell seems perfectly happy to run Mdk Linux. ;-) I use KDE most of the time, but also Blackbox a little. Blackbox is faster, but lacks some of the creature comforts of KDE. Maybe I should just leave well enough alone. If I wanted to try DMA enabled, is it a complicated thing? This is a great list!

[newbie] tulip driver installation help?
Hello All, My ethernet card was not detected or configured in LM 9 and I am having a time getting it going. This is a Compaq Presario 1700T with the compaq (conexant) 10/100 nic and I am using the Toshiba cable modem with the usb hookup. This worked without any configuration on my part in 8.2 but for some reason LM 9 is not figuring this out yet. I downloaded tulip 0.9.14 since I thought that might work better, but I have no idea how to install. I am a newbie with these things so I really do not understand the directions. This seems to require altering the Makefile which I do not know the first thing about. Here are the directions: The Linux tulip driver To build the driver cd src vi Makefile. #put your kernel settings here make To build the diagnostics program: cd diag make I understand that you are supposed to open the Makefile in the vi editor and then #put your kernel settings here?

[newbie] Yikes - Java
I'm still trying to get argoUML working. I successfuly loaded j2sdk and attempted argoUML. It failed requiring 8 other modules( if that's the correct term ). Anyway, I'm not easily discourage, so I download an rpm for each of the 8. Tried installing the first, ant and yup it failed on about 10 more dependencies. It's my experience, that when it seems like I'm working to hard, I usually am. Is there some kind of package/rpm that would include all the most commonly used java modules? So far, I've found rpms for these java modules at sourceforge. Can some installer be told to search the sorceforge site? Last, have I just missed the true path?
