[newbie-it] configurazione scheda di rete SuperLanUSB10/100
Ciao a tutti ho un problema con la configurazione della nuova scheda di rete che ho dovuto comprare per servirmi di fastweb. Ho due sistemi operativi e per quanto riguarda Windows la connessione è attiva. Sono veramente una dilettante nell'usare Linux quindi avrei bisogno di una guida alla configurazione veramente 'elementare' Ho cercato di utilizzare il Mandrake Control Center (ho la Mandrake 8.0) per effettuare la Configurazione. L'interfaccia è precisamente: SuperLan 10/100 USB Ethernet Adapter Ad un certo punto mi chiede: -Come vuoi connetterti a Internet? ed io scelgo : - Connessione LAN quindi incalza: - quale driver net dovrei provare? mi compare un elenco, io li ho provati tutti, tra cui anche: RTL 8129/8139, RTL -8139 ma il tentativo risulta FALLITO Cos'è che devo fare?

[newbie-it] puntatore mouse fantasma?
Buongiorno a tutti, sono un neofita di linux. Ho appena installato la Mandrake 9 su una partizione del mio Hd e, incredibile dictu, è andato tutto bene, linux e windows Xp funzionano entrambi. L'unico problema è che sia in il puntatore del mouse non viene visualizzato, al suo posto c'è una sorta di quadrato la cui area è colorata da strisce nere. Come posso risolvere il mio problema? Ho letto da qualche parte che dovrei modificare un parametro all'interno del XF86Config che è allocato sotto /home/etc/X11. Il parametro dovrebbe esseew SW_CURSOR. E' giusto?

Ciao Marco Sì è una scheda di rete su porta USB Aggiungo che: in realtà nel libretto allegato ci sono delle istruzioni per la Configurazione per LINUX ma mi sembrano un po' complicate per me, speravo, mediante il Mandrake Control Center, di riuscire a fare la configurazione in modo più 'automatico'. Riporto comunque qualcosa scritta sul libretto, forse può essere d'aiuto: Compilare: gcc -DMODULE -D_KERNEL_ -c rtl8150.c -l/usr/src/linux-2.4.3/include Inserire il driver come modulo: insmod rtl8139.o (eseguire 'Ismod' per vedere se il modulo è inserito) Associare un indirizzo IP al vostro adattatore USB: . etc. Se servono le riporterò integralmente. Secondo voi è il caso che mi avventuri ad eseguire tale tipo di istruzioni? (che immagino dovrò esguire come utente root) Lori __ Yahoo!

A questo punto mi sono procurata il floppy che
contiene il driver per questa scheda di rete. Si
chiama appunto:
Rtl8150.c
ma dove lo devo copiare?
una volta copiato seguo esattamente le istruzioni del
libretto (che sono identiche alle tue) o va cambiato
qualcosa?
Inoltre le istruzioni del libretto aggiungono:
Associare un indirizzo IP al vostro adattatore USB:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK}
broadcast ${BROADCAST}
Aggiungere l'adattatore USB nella IP routing table ed
aggiungere un gateway:
/sbin/route add default gw ${GATEWAY}dev eth0
Faccio tutto?

It sort of slipped through the cracks (long story, I won't bore you with the facts). Anyway, I checked that file and it did say 5 on that line.

I was all for gnome till kde3 - no contest now) so I refused to just accept the situation. I did figure it out though. Here is the answer in case someone else has a similar problem. The problem was Trends ChipAway virus detector in my BIOS. While in GRUB mode the boot process slipped right though without a hitch. When in Graphical mode Trend would pop up telling me there was a boot virus and I had to tell it to continue before it would move on then it gave me the text screen.

I think that there are a few of us who had problems with PM products, myself included. The newer versions might be better, the proof is in the pudding though.

Short of taking a CDROM from one into the other, , can you use one to install the other? A. Contreras My CR website: http://www.elnonio.dns04.com Yes. One way of doing it is to mount the CD images as loopback file systems, and then export them as NFS shares. On the computer you want to boot you then boot from floppy using the 'network' boot image you will find on a Mandrake mirror site. A network install allows you to boot from an FTP site, or an NFS share. Just follow the prompts. This is 'mentioned' in the Mandrake installer instructions, but not really covered in depth. Once you are installed, if you then declare your software sources in Mandrake Software Manager to be ftp sites instead of Cd's you can manage without CDs altogether.

Hi , First , it can be quite frustrating to go through an install as you did. two things come to mind to ask though, were the cd's given you copies of downloaded iso's? or original cd's ? The CD-R's given to me were burned from downloaded ISO images. The guy at work claimed he used them already numerous times, so I'm sure the problem is with my old 2x CD-ROM. Before you give up ( hopefully you haven't yet ) try another cd drive, and or new/origianl disks ( if they weren't ). I'll definitely reinstall when the rewriteable gets here. I just think, as I stated in my original note, that the install process is poorly designed. The failures I encountered were in non-critical packages, so it should have just said so and finished the installation. If your CD drive is old, it may not be able to read the 700MB CDs Mandrake 9.0 requires. A lot of people have reported trouble with older CD drives. A set of 650 Mb images is available for Mandrake Club members if you are desperate, but it is easier to just do a network install from an FTP site.

[newbie] installed and installable packages/updates...discrepancy??
Greetings everyone, I have something going on here with what seems to be a discrepancy between what my Install software and Remove software programs are telling me. :-/ I have found several packages that are showing as installed in 'Remove software, but in Install software there is an update showing as available from source:Update. These packages have identical id's and changelogs, but the files and sizes don't match. The packages shown as being required contain generally a lot of patches. When I run Mandrake update, no packages are showing as required, and I am told that my system is up to date. I am completely baffled as to what is going on here. These are the packages for which I have noted this apparent discrepancy: devfsd-1.3.25-19.3mdk arts-1.0.3-7.1mdk kdelibs-3.0.3-30.1mdk kdegraphics-3.0.3-11.1mdk I expect there are others too. I hope I have described my situation clearly enough. Is anyone else showing this discrepancy? Any feedback on this would be appreciated.

Hi, First of all thanks for the help regarding installing a hardware modem as I have succeeded in installing my Conceptronic External Modem on my Linux Mandrake 9.0 installation. However I am now faced with another problem I am being disconnected from my service provider sometime after logon is carried out. The first time I was disconnected after 10 minutes ad the second time after only 3-5 minutes. Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this problem?

Hmm... I guess I understand the problem a bit better now. About solving the problem: How to repair things without complete reinstall? 1. Can things work without separate /boot? Eg if I copy needed files from /boot on hda6 to hda7 will it work? What files? What else has to be modified? certainly there is , there is an alternative to having a /boot partition,but the disadvantages are that it is not straight forward and requires post install configuration, whereas if you go to the trouble now of creating a /boot partition , at this juncture ,the task of dual linux booting, and upgrading is a doddle here on after. So if you don't want to create a /boot partition, you must mount the first OS partition with entries in fstab, making directories in /mnt directory for that partition and when you have gained access to the first linux OS you must copy many files from /boot directory to the second linux OS /boot directory these files include, the kernel, initrd.image you must then create fresh new stanzas in lilo.conf to run these kernels and initrd.image files at boot time, don't forget to run /sbin/lilo However, I do assure you that despite what it looks it is easier and more satisfying to create a /boot partition in the first place , run the install proceedures again for both linux OS's taking particular care with the lilo install in the second linux OS , so that all the stanzas you need to boot both linux OS's are included in the scripts, it's quite easy, drakX provides a very good graphical interface and the choice of entries for each aspect of the lilo stanzas are all there to be chosen from dropdown lists, just take your time and think about the overall look of each stanza group. Make sure that each kernel and initrd.image version is clearly defined. All the entries to do this will be there because with a /boot partition drakX puts all the kernels and initrd.image files in the one /boot partition whereas without a /boot partition it does not. 2. If above approach is too messy, it is possible to snip a little more from the end of hda1 and make it a boot partition. Or is it? How big? Again, what has to go in there? What else has to be modified? Of course just use either diskdrake or PM to snip 20-50mb off one of the other partitions. As a rough guide a kernel these days is 13-15mb the other files are negigeable and so I choose 100mb as being simply ample for future needs including experimental kernels. See this is why it is so easy and best to have a /boot partition, if for some reason you need an updated experimental kernel , just install it, it will put itself into that /boot partition then write another lilo stanza to boot an OS with it, no messing about. Job done , and if it does not work out, deleate it, and the lilo entry, and you still have your old kernel working properly as it ought to. I would not set my linux OS's up any other way than with a /boot partition. Time spent now getting things set up is time and effort saved later on. Then when another mandrake release comes along I install it in the older of the two linux OS partitions, drakX does it's stuff and puts the kernels and init.rd.image files in the /boot partition for you, you then have a choice of wherether to write a new lilo there and then or use the old lilo to boot to desktop and add a stanza to boot the new linux OS either way works, and I tend to choose do it on dektop if it's a beta version, or do it from drakX lilo install if it is a full release. And WTF all these hundred dual boot how-to's handle win/lin question that is actually no-question at all these days and not a word about other options?! Because its so intuitive?

Title: RE: [newbie] Java - lost it Did you upgrade or do a fresh install.

Note that this must be a link to the javaplugin_oji.so, copying the *.so to the /usr/lib/netscape/plugins directory will NOT work--same for mozilla. MozillaHelpAbout plug-ins shows the java that you have installed?? (should be the Sun version) #java -version returns what? (Kaffee should be o.k., but you can uninstall it using the package manager and re-make your path to the Sun version as a last resort--since this is only for web browsers that shouldn't be necessary). I'm trying to determine just what mods the rpm installer made to your directories and links. Everyone else reading this--I recommend that you use the version from Blackdown if you must have a JVM because it is a bzipped tarball and not a *.bin or rpm. If you use tarballs you can have more control of the install. Installing java ain't really hard--honest. 1. Download the bz2 tarball and put it in /usr/local then cd to /usr/local 2. Unpack it with the command tar -xvvIf name_of_tarball (note that is an eye not an ell -- a directory /usr/local/java_version_directory will be created) 3. ln -s /usr/local/java_version_directory/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla plugins 4. Repeat for netscape (note to use the proper plugin directory--moz and netscape are different) I don't use Galeon--you are on your own for that If you must have a real JVM for some 3rd party program (not very likely, but possible) remove Kaffee from your system. 1. open /etc/profile with your favorite editor 2. Add the line: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/java_version_directory/bin (this sets the variable PATH to the previous PATH and adds the new line to it) 3. Add the line: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java_version_directory 4. Reload /etc/profile If none of this works for you, I've exhausted my suggestions, but I assure you, it has worked for me. Well, I've exhausted all of my possibilities, none of the java installs will work, Sun or Blackdown or Netscape. I've also noticed that Konqueror file manager crashes sometimes when I click on a Mozilla directory. There's something very wrong with my installation.

Re: [newbie] Which is better:KDE or Gnome?
Depends on what you mean by preferable. I use KDE. I prefer KDE. Judging by user numbers (based on many polls), KDE is used more and is therefore considered preferable by many. However, I have yet to find apps from either WM that won't run on the other, so I suppose it's all about personal choice at the end of the day.

Re: [newbie] Generic USB Storage Device
Thanks for the help. I have reformatted the SM card as fat32 but it still doesn't work. I believe the problem is in how the Mandrake kernel handles multiple media readers (to make matters worse, mine is also a writer). Since Linux USB support is still patchy I am now convinced I will have to wait for a later kernel to solve my problems. I will continue playing though and if I turn up anything I will let you know.

Greetings everyone, I have something going on here with what seems to be a discrepancy between what my Install software and Remove software programs are telling me. :-/ I have found several packages that are showing as installed in 'Remove software, but in Install software there is an update showing as available from source:Update. These packages have identical id's and changelogs, but the files and sizes don't match. The packages shown as being required contain generally a lot of patches. When I run Mandrake update, no packages are showing as required, and I am told that my system is up to date. I am completely baffled as to what is going on here. These are the packages for which I have noted this apparent discrepancy: devfsd-1.3.25-19.3mdk arts-1.0.3-7.1mdk kdelibs-3.0.3-30.1mdk kdegraphics-3.0.3-11.1mdk I expect there are others too. I hope I have described my situation clearly enough. Is anyone else showing this discrepancy? Any feedback on this would be appreciated. TIA. --Angus ** Just an addendum.. I have keep my system updated with all the updated packages that I have been notified off by email from MandrakeSecurity. Also I have run Mandrake Update on a regular basis. It appears that my updates haven't been properly acknowledged by the urpmi database. Why would this occur? I'm quite certain that I do indeed have all the updates installed, and when I run Update, that is indicated. There is the apparent discrepancy between Install software and Remove software though. Install shows the updates as not being installed, while Remove says they are :-/ Is there a way that I can manually straighten this out?

I boot, WinME (hda1), MDK 7.0 to 9.0 (clean installs across 2 harddrives,hda5 for /home, hda6 for/, hda7 for swap, and hdc5 fat data, hdc6 for /var) and hda8 has Win2k. lilo sees the win2k bootloader as windows and then I choose either win2k or winMe. never a problem since Lilo overcame the 1024 cyl limit.

Re: Re: [newbie] Failed install
Well, I did manage to get the install to work from FTP: on my good PC, I activated IIS5's FTP server, root is ./linux9 I copied the files from CD1 to ./linux9/d1, CD2 to ./d2 and CD3 to d3. Figuring that the installer would prolly not look at d2 and d3, I also copied ./d2/Mandrake/RPMS2 to ./d1/Mandrake/RPMS2 AND the contents of RPMS2 to ./d1/Mandrake/RPMS. Overkill, but that way I felt sure the installed would find the RPMS either from RPMS2 or RPMS. Did the same with disk 3. Installation kicked off, but I'm still having issues with the system. It can boot, but freezes whenever I try to access configuration tools (harddrake2, and such). Next plan is strip the box from all unnecessary hardware (sound card, CDROM, I had already pulled the modem) and start again. Starting to get pretty frustrated with this box and thinking about buillding a new one, just need a new mother board, got plenty of other spares. Anyone have a recent motherboard with AGP, pentium II slot for sale?

One way of doing it is to mount the CD images as loopback file systems, and then export them as NFS shares. On the computer you want to boot you then boot from floppy using the 'network' boot image you will find on a Mandrake mirror site. A network install allows you to boot from an FTP site, or an NFS share. Just follow the prompts. This is 'mentioned' in the Mandrake installer instructions, but not really covered in depth. That is one way of doing it, and you can also set the one where it is installed as a FTP-server and install it from there. /Anders Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] Java - lost it
Originally I did an upgrade on both of my computers, the laptop is still working, but my main computer crashed about a week later, reason unknown. I was unable to recover from the crash,so did a fresh install. I think my step step, if I can find the time, will be to hunt down all vestiges of java and then do an upgrade followed by a fresh install of java.

Mozilla and Galeon crash when encountering applets; Konqueror doesn't crash, but the applet freezes when it's 29% loaded; Netscape still refuses to even acknowledge that java is loaded. Where to next?? Rich There is a fairly high probablility that you have two java's installed, and a bad link to the *.so going (or, maybe no link at all). Note that this must be a link to the javaplugin_oji.so, copying the *.so to the /usr/lib/netscape/plugins directory will NOT work--same for mozilla. MozillaHelpAbout plug-ins shows the java that you have installed?? (should be the Sun version) #java -version returns what? (Kaffee should be o.k., but you can uninstall it using the package manager and re-make your path to the Sun version as a last resort--since this is only for web browsers that shouldn't be necessary). I'm trying to determine just what mods the rpm installer made to your directories and links. Everyone else reading this--I recommend that you use the version from Blackdown if you must have a JVM because it is a bzipped tarball and not a *.bin or rpm. If you use tarballs you can have more control of the install. Installing java ain't really hard--honest. 1. Download the bz2 tarball and put it in /usr/local then cd to /usr/local 2. Unpack it with the command tar -xvvIf name_of_tarball (note that is an eye not an ell -- a directory /usr/local/java_version_directory will be created) 3. ln -s /usr/local/java_version_directory/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla plugins 4. Repeat for netscape (note to use the proper plugin directory--moz and netscape are different) I don't use Galeon--you are on your own for that If you must have a real JVM for some 3rd party program (not very likely, but possible) remove Kaffee from your system. 1. open /etc/profile with your favorite editor 2. Add the line: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/java_version_directory/bin (this sets the variable PATH to the previous PATH and adds the new line to it) 3. Add the line: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java_version_directory 4. Reload /etc/profile If none of this works for you, I've exhausted my suggestions, but I assure you, it has worked for me. Well, I've exhausted all of my possibilities, none of the java installs will work, Sun or Blackdown or Netscape. I've also noticed that Konqueror file manager crashes sometimes when I click on a Mozilla directory. There's something very wrong with my installation. Strangely, another computer that I upgraded (this one was a fresh install) works perfectly! Thanks to everyone for all of their efforts.

Possibly because unless you use automatic login it's not worth the trouble for much of the time. Anne Maybe so, but for me, having paid for membership, I kinda like to log in and post to the forums as myself, so I don't give anyone the idea that I'm freeloading. That way I can contact friends if the opportunity presents itself, ask questions as a known member, etc etc. Logging in makes the whole point to everyone that you cared and were concerned enough to pay. I also think that there *are* alot of freeloaders taking advantage of the open nature of the club. I don't think beginners should be run off, but those guys that have been doing the guest thing for over several months should be looked at.

[newbie] converting a lot of images
Hi there I have learned that anything is possible with Linux. only question is how to do that I have around 100 images that need to be prepared for a web presentation. That is html only site, so I can not use any fancy magics on the webside. They are different sizes 1028x768 and some are bit smaller. I need them in 2 sizes, all the same 1 - 187 x 140 2 - 512 x 348 has anyone ides for me hoto do that. I rather spend some time to get it done automatically (and learn some more tricks), rather than manipulating with gimp manually. Kristjan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
