Lo stesso metodo che usa kbabel limitatamente ai file PO. Per Linux, ho visto che è uscito OmegaT, che dovrebbe essere un po' simile a trados. Però, non sono ancora riuscito a provarlo. ciao, andrea

Ed ora guarda questo estratto dal tuo bashrc che hai postato. [ $PS1 = \\s-\\v\\\$ ] PS1=[\u@\h \W]\\$ In pratica, la tua finestra terminale prende come valori della variabile PS1, che ormai avrai capito definisce la struttura del prompt, il primo formato \s-\v\$ , invece del secondo [\u@\h \W]\\$, cioe' quello a cui sei abituato.

Per quanto riguarda le ricerche ho visitato il sito del costruttore poi ho controllato la compatibilita' hardware dal sito Mandrake ed in ultima mi sono affidato ai motori di ricerca. Non ho trovato nessun riferimento specifico sulla presenza o meno di un driver. Ho provato invece ad installare un normale 56k sulla seriale ed anche se non supportato mi funziona egregiamente. Ho per altro smanettato parecchio provando diverse soluzioni e comunque a parte il led del modem che avvisa la funzionalita' della USB gli altri restano spenti, mi riferisco in particolare a quello che avvisa che almeno un Prg. applicativo sta' interrogando il Modem.

Read through all the blurb and changed the config line to include the KDE option and then a few other versions of that option including a link to the startx, but I couldn't get the KDE environment to be loaded. At best all I could get was a window with a blue background and a white background X console window up. I believe this is the default desktop setting VNC comes with. Right-clicking bought up a menu of some basic apps and a few did work but it was nothing like looking/using KDE within the window. Being very unfamiliar with fully using a console for everything this doesn't help me much. If I sit infront of KDE screen and use a VNC window to look at the Winblowz laptop running ME it appears fine and functions as if you were sitting infront of the laptop. Getting it to view another linux box using KDE is a different beast though and nothing achieved yet. You're most likely getting mwm or twm as the window manager - so you're going to have to double check all your configurations so that KDE is the default wm - for both the regular system AND for VNC. KDE is the default on all 6 machines. I never run any other wm here so I can't see why it won't use KDE when it's added to the VNC config file. If I follow the example config files as shown on the VNC site and in the readme file to the letter, VNC still defaults to twm. Are the settings in this config file copied to another part of the system on the first running of VNC and have subsequently been over-riding the config file after I have changed it, and if so, doesn't that defeat the object of having a config file? I made the changes to the file, saved it and even tried a complete power-down of the system but still end up with twm. -- magnet Registered Linux User: 281659 Registered machines: 163839,163840,163841,163842,163843,163844 6xAthlon 1.2GHz all running some flavour of Mandrake.

NYTIMES is a free registration, but I realize that to someone in UK that might be totally unwarranted ;-) Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for that, Mike. It is very interesting, and, I think, has some very fair insights. A short while ago I took a part-time MSc in Information Systems at the local university. There were not a high proportion of girls there, but the makeup of the group is interesting. There were 3 or 4 women past their first youth (and you could say that again for me g) and the rest were young Asian girls. I know the recent climate of grants from Europe to certain areas made it a cheaper option for Asian girls than for most English girls, but I don't think finance was the option. The older white English women were for the main looking a either a career change or a career advancement. Presumably the young Asian girls had specific goals also. I think it is true to say that on the whole women undertake serious study for a particular end. One module that was compulsory in my course was Networks. I really looked forward to this. I had built the home lan and administered a Novell Netware lan at work, and hoped to gain a great deal more insight into networks generally. Stupidly, I had even thought that there would be some practical work involved. Instead there was a series of lectures that quoted verbatim from the prescribed reference book, going into great detail on layers of transport protocol. Now this is the sort of thing that I am interested to read about, to get an idea of how it works, but in truth could see no reason for the stress upon it. Yes, it aids understanding, but it appears to have no practical application in my life. Perhaps this is a key to getting girls more interested. Show them an application that they would enjoy, then tell them that with a little help and a day or so set aside, they too could have that. Show a teenage girl that she could easily burn her own compilation CD - all her favourite tracks on one CD - if only she had a cd burner on her computer. When you've got her interested, put the screwdriver in her hand. DO NOT do it for her. Talk her through, both what she is doing and why. Talking of master and slave drives will not be more than she can understand, yet it would bore her to tears if she had to hear about it in a classroom. Girls tackle technical issues with a stuborn zeal if they can see something in it that they want to achieve, but why bother if it doesn't do anything for them? So they have to be shown that they can have positive benefits from learning. It isn't 'cool' to be an egghead, but it's cool to have your own compilation cd. Just my thoughts.

Anyway, I did read it, and interesting reading it made. For those who didn't see it, it concerns the reasons for the lack of women in computing in general and linux in particular, and what can be done about it. This group is unusual in not falling into just about every trap on the list. Two things that have really bugged me from time to time - My husband, being totally uninterested in computing but kind hearted, from time to time has taken me to computer shows - where I was usually looking from the point of view of our small business. I would ask a serious question, and the rep would immediately turn to David to answer. This is not an isolated example, it happened over and over again. The other thing is that, womanlike, when I have a problem I want to discuss it. By verbalising it I often see the way out of the problem, but if I don't, I want further discussion that will help me learn. I am sure it is with the best of intentions, but the truth is that if this is in front of a computer the man (and it is always a man - because there are so few women interested g) takes over the keyboard and just does it. I have learned nothing, because it happened quickly and without explanation. With no prior unix experience I tried to learn linux about three years ago, thinking my son-in-law could help me, but I soon gave up, largely because of this. I think I would probably have given up again, if it were not for this list - so thanks, folks, for your patient explanations, even when it has taken two or three goes to make me understand what's happening. Anne the most intresting thing is, in business, I am willing to bet, that more Females spend more time in front of computers (inputing data) than men. Assomeone that started BBS chatting in 1992, I found back then that there were more women than men that could type fast enough to chat with. By the time the WEB had come around to everyone, the balance had changed, more guys (and perves) had found their way to the keyboard. I still think that women make up the bulk of computer USERS. I think you're right there. But again, it comes down to the fact that women use computers to achieve a particular end. There are fewer women who, like me, have a fascination for the whole business of computing. So if we want more women in computing we have to tie it in to personal satisfaction.

[newbie] mdk 9.1 beta 1 bugzilla
OK got beta 1 installed on here and trying it out. Found a bug in the installer itself already. FINALLY got booted up to it and I go to report the bug but i get: Software error: Bugzilla is currently broken. Please try again later. If the problem persists, please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] The error you should quote is: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost.localdomain' (111) at globals.pl line 126. For help, please send mail to the webmaster ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), giving this error message and the time and date of the error. SO. how fun is that? LOL. I'll try back later. Anyone else have a problem with drakx? I found that the dark blue box on the right side of the screen where everything happens was either too small, or the font they were using for it was too large because the bottom of it got cut off. (couldn't see the OK / Cancel buttons on some of the screens because they were down too far, the package selection list didn't fit in the box, etc). I've installed mdk enough times to know where everything was, luckily. So far, though, the prospects seem good as far as installation goes. It seems to have detected all my hardware correctly but time and experience will tell. Hope y'all have fun with it.

Right-clicking bought up a menu of some basic apps and a few did work but it was nothing like looking/using KDE within the window. Being very unfamiliar with fully using a console for everything this doesn't help me much. If I sit infront of KDE screen and use a VNC window to look at the Winblowz laptop running ME it appears fine and functions as if you were sitting infront of the laptop. Getting it to view another linux box using KDE is a different beast though and nothing achieved yet. You're most likely getting mwm or twm as the window manager - so you're going to have to double check all your configurations so that KDE is the default wm - for both the regular system AND for VNC. KDE is the default on all 6 machines. I never run any other wm here so I can't see why it won't use KDE when it's added to the VNC config file. If I follow the example config files as shown on the VNC site and in the readme file to the letter, VNC still defaults to twm. Are the settings in this config file copied to another part of the system on the first running of VNC and have subsequently been over-riding the config file after I have changed it, and if so, doesn't that defeat the object of having a config file? I made the changes to the file, saved it and even tried a complete power-down of the system but still end up with twm. I'm coming into this thread a bit late so apologies if this has already been suggested. VNC server will start the window manager declared in the ~/.vnc/xstartup of the user the vncserver was started from. (You are editing the correct xstartup file are you?)

Re: [newbie] Mozilla locks my machine during downloads
Set the Primary DNS to the XP machine, the secondary DNS to your ISP's primary DNS, put the IP of the XP machine in your /etc/hosts file, set Mozilla/Netscape (Under ADVANCED / HTTP NETWORKING) to Enable Keep-Alive and Enable Pipelining (under the Direct Connection Options). This saga keeps going. Today, when receiving my emails (only Evolution was connected), the connection to the LAN was lost. For a couple of minutes I couldn't even ping the gateway. I tried a few times with the same outcome: I couldn't get the mails and needed to start all over. I realized that the only way to get the connection back was by pinging the gateway. It took 2 or 3 minutes of pinging to get it back. So I decided to hook the Linux laptop directly to the ADSL modem, without firewall or NAT. No protection whatsoever. I thought it might be a faulty network cable or even the hub. But then again, the same problem. And again, I needed to ping the default gateway provided by the ISP to get the connection back. So I suppose there must be some faulty interaction between Mandrake and the laptop NIC. Just came up to my mind to try this running Linux within VMWare in a XP box. It might me the NIC driver.

As an anti spam measure many mail servers will do a reverse IP lookup to check the host name belongs to the Ip address declared. Unless you own a fully qualified domain name you will find some mail servers will reject your mails. That's exactly my case. So, to avoid this problem, mobile workers shouldn't use sendmail because most of the time they will be getting ramdom IP not neccesarily belonging to their domain. Is that right? Thanks for you ultrafast response. Adolfo Actually it is the other way round. Running a mail server can help you when you are mobile. If you try to send a mail via your ISPs mail server when you are not connected directly to their network, it will usually not work because the ISPs mail server will reject attempts to relay mails from outside their network (another anti spam measure) However if you have a mail server at home you can configure it to accept mails from your mobile computer no matter where you are (with adequate security such as SMTP over SASL), and then your mails can be forwarded to your ISPs mail server. derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Josenildo, here's some additional advice that I copied from my *tips'n'tricks list* ( thanks to Derek for this !) : This is a common problem. You need to ensure that your user, the cdwriter, and all the cd applications have the same group permissions. 1/Create a group called 'cdwriter' using Userdrake and put any users who are to burn CD's in that group. (It may already exist) 2/ You then need to give cdwriter group privileges for the following applications (all in /usr/bin) If any of these apps are missing install them from RPM. cdrecord cdda2wav cdparanoia mkisofs readcd You can do this using konqueror. Just open KmenuApplicationFileToolsFileManager(SuperUserMode) Find the files you want to change the permissions of, right click, select 'Permissions' and set the group name to be cdwriter 3/ Put the CD-RW in the cdwriter group by editing the permissions of /dev/scd0 You can test your cd burner by opening a user terminal and typing cdrecord --scanbus If it finds your CD writer then cd burning should work.

I tried opening in a termialdoen't work. Mike Hi Mike, Both Netscape and Mozilla use the same user directory, .mozilla, to do their thing when they're running. ergo, when you had Mozilla running and started Netscape it appeared as though another instance of Mozilla was running. When, in fact, it was actually Netscape. The way to get around this is to setup a seperate profile for Netscape so that it isn't looking at your Mozilla dir, or the files contained therein. Once you've done this you shouldn't have this problem again. Thanks for the reply, Mark. Actually, I already had a separate identity for Netscape, but never got a chance to select it. I open a Mozilla browser using the menu and select the Mike-Mz identity. In another desktop I then try to open Netscape from the menu. No chance to choose Mike-Ns identity because a new Mozilla window opens immediately. If I go back to the menu and select Mozilla to open a second browser a dialog box opens saying that Mike-Mz is in use and to select another identity. I then choose Mike-Ns and something strange happens. The new browser opened is Mozilla 1.2.1(checked under HelpAbout Mozilla), _but_ it has a _modern_ theme, not the classic which I use with Mozilla. What is that all about? I see that both identities are in /home/mike/.mozilla and the only thing under /home/mike/.netscape is an empty plugins folder. Any other thoughts?

[newbie] Restoring GLX and DRI
Hi, I recently removed an NVidia GF4 from my machine and put back the previous card which was a Matrox G400 Dual Head. The installation of the NVidia drivers has overwritten some files. I got over it partly by removing the xfree86-libs package and then reinstalling it. That got me X back. Now I need to get GLX and DRI working again which I believe is the OpenGL driver and the Direct Rendering driver (dunno what they do though ;)).

I start mine using the command gkrellm -w. The -w puts it in the slit or dock as it's called in Window Maker. I have it start automatically when Fluxbox loads, sorry but I don't know how to do that in KDE or Gnome. To configure, just right-click the top/near the border or hit F1.

[newbie] mplayer gui
Have now got xine, ogle and mplayer installed and running under 8.2 on my Athlon 2200 with G-Force 2 card, thanks to urpmi and PLF (urpmi really rocks!), the first time ever for mplayer. One problem, which may have been discussed in the list already, is a slight jerkiness in the display, which I assume has something to do with using the generic video driver rather than Nvidia's own. It happens with all three programs whereas xine and ogle have always run very smoothly on my old 500 MHz Pentium III with the Voodoo 3 2000 card and Mandrake 8.1. Anyway, that is not the question. Does the mplayer gui work for anybody? It blows up my computer; a nasty clunk from the hard drive, a BSOD, and an empty error box, then nada. Forced to reboot at that stage. Tried gmplayer and gui=yes in the config file. Both cause a problem.

Tried gmplayer and gui=yes in the config file. Both cause a problem. Yes, it works here under LM 9.0, and worked before with 8.2, 8.0 and even before that if I can remember correctly. I don't personally se it though, but my girlfriend does... Maybe the difference is that I build it myself, instead of installing pre-compiled binaries which aren't suited to my system. There are long and large warnings all over mplayer about binaries, and although they do have a link now to some rpm's now, they still advise everyone to compile it themselves. I would suggest this too. MPlayer is just too system-sensitive, but in a good way as it provides a great, stable, fast running media player;-) I have a P3 800mh/z, but even on my P1 233mh/s I was sort-of able to watch a DivX file ... without too my audio delay and stuttering frames. Yeah it wasn't what I call a success, but it ran well still. Tried gmplayer and gui=yes in the config file. Both cause a problem. I don't think this is your problem. If you start from a console with `gmplayer` .. read the warnings if there are any, it may just help you. Do you have your codecs installed? If the binary of yours built using libavcodec? libavcodec provides a great decoder / encoder for many formats, much faster than the win32 codecs.

I came across this article on the safari browser but don't understand how it can be touted as fast.

Forced to reboot at that stage. Tried gmplayer and gui=yes in the config file. Both cause a problem. snip i had problems with the gui when building from source, but when using the plf rpm's gmplayer worked fine. on 8.2 the only way i could get it to work was by upgrading my gtk+ to 2.0x (along with atk, pango, and a couple other deps all supplied at gtk.org) You might try that. Best of luck... mplayer a nice little ap, even without the gui but that does make it much easier to deal with for windoze expats.
