Ciao, da Mandrake8.1 con KDE riuscivo a selezionare una directory ed eseguirne il comando shred. Da Gnome (1.4 credo) non ho questa opzione nei menu. Cosi ho aperto la console, ma il comando shred sembra possa essere eseguito solo sui file. Ho eseguito: $ shred * -u Mi sono trovato con i file eliminati solo dalla directory corrente.

Ciao (si si sono ancora io...), ho letto lanciando l'help da console del comando shred che il suo funzionamento non è attivo per alcuni filesystem modello jurnaled o sistemi RAID. In quelle situazioni -correggetemi se ho capito male- non c'è garanzia che i file vengono riscritti nella vecchia posizione.

Enrico Un qualsiasi manuale Linux o Unix è una buona base di partenza. Però, non sarà mai completo perché ognuno di noi carica sulla sua macchina cose diverse. Per esempio, se sul pc che uso adesso batto due volte TAB ottengo: $ Display all 2584 possibilities? (y or n) :su - Password: # Display all 2953 possibilities? (y or n) Questo è il numero di eseguibili che ho nel mio PATH e in quello di root. Sicuramente, tu avrai un numeri diversi. Non spaventarti troppo perché non tutti sono veri comandi. moltissimi sono eseguibili richiamati solo da altri comandi. Allora, prova a fare così: - vedi il contenuto del PATH di root e di un utente normale con echo $PATH - Per ogni directory trovata, lancia: man -f `ls /dir/del/path `|grep -iv 'nothing appropriate' lista. Attento alla differenza tra ' e `. e poi un sort -u lista A questo punto ti ritrovi un elenco abbastanza completo dei comandi disponibili sul tuo PC accompagnati da una breve descrizione del tipo: lp (1) - send requests to an LPRng print service lp (4) - line printer devices lp [cancel-cups] (1) - send requests to an LPRng print service lp [lp-LPRng](1) - send requests to an LPRng print service lp [lp-cups] (1) - print files Mancheranno solo quelli che non hanno una pagina man, ad es. tutti quelli di KDE. Probabilmente, se hai installato anche le pagine man in italiano, per molti comandi ti usciranno due righe: una in italiano ed una in inglese. Non mi viene in mente un modo per togliere solo quelle in una lingua, tranne che disinstallare temporaneamente le man-page italiane (togliere quelle inglesi è più complicato, sono legate ai programmi per la loro lettura) ciao, Andrea

Da una settimana ero riuscito (grazie soprattutto ai consigli della lista) a configurare in maniera decente linux. l'unico problema era che il kde doveva essere avviato 2 volte per funzionare con ctrl-alt-back. dopo aver modificato parecchie periferiche, ho spostato la partizione swap da un hd all'altro ed eliminato una partizione temporanea usando il tool grafico nel mandrake control center. ora in hda ho la partizione windows e in hdb ho 3 partizioni, una fat32, una swap e la /, mentre prima avevo hda una fat 32, una swap e una /archivio hdb una fat 32, e la / riavvio e ottengo can't find ext3 filesystem on dev ide0(3,69) error 22 mounting ext3 flags freeing unused kernel memory 136K freed kernel panic no init found try passing init= option to kernel. ho provato con fdisk con la console testuale del cd1 di mandrake e nella tabella delle partizioni mi dà un errore di allocazione oltre il numero massimo di clusters consentiti; secondo fdisk del dos ho solo una partizione primaria per tutto l'hard disk, partition magic mi dà sul slave primario nessuna partizione (disco vergine) la partizione hd6 è perfettamente leggibile usando la console testuale del cd1mdk. dato che non vorrei perdere nè le configurazioni, nè gli aggiornamenti eseguiti dopo aver portato il pc da un amico che ha l'adsl, vorrei poter ricostruire il tutto senza danni, o almeno fare un backup completo per ripristinare tutti i files dopo un'eventuale riformattazione e ripartizione. che devo fare?

[newbie-it] Ormai discussione [ot] su Appuntilinux e abitudini
Alle Thursday 23 January 2003 13:04, a proposito di Re: [newbie-it] Appuntilinux (e chissa' a cosa pensava veramente), syd ha scritto: Vabbe', ti perdono. Meno male. Ti passo anche questa E un'altra fatta. Terzo: la mia velocita' nella ricerca dati con il PC non e' la stessa che con un bel volume sottomano. Impara a fare le ricerche con il pc A parte il fatto che se ricerco un file di cui conosco il nome e - grossomodo - la locazione il mio PC me lo trova in cinque minuti; se gli dico cerca il testo nel file posso anche aspettare una mezza giornata. Davvero potrei ottimizzare, infatti era la scusa numero tre... Maddai! E' solo questione di abitudine, e di modo di fare. Considerando il depauperamento del patrimonio forestale credo che alcune abitudini sia necessario includerle tra quelle cattive. Fosse solo per il depauperamento, ti direi subito: piuttosto che vedere kg di carta utilizzabile buttata via stampo... almeno a qualcosa e' utile. E' molto diffcile che io stampi qualcosa su fogli bianchi; a meno che non si tratti di documenti ufficiali utilizzo (anche per scrivere e fare due conti) sempre fogli parzialmente usati. Pensa che accade spessissimo che io mi stampi perfino le mail... ;-) Ecco, vedi.. la degenerazione. Mi sembra un po' troppo. Mmmm... se le stampo, non le butto: vuol dire che hanno contenuti che mi interessano in modo particolare. Per esempio le istruzioni per installare una data cosa (per quanto riguarda le mail di questa ML), oppure discussioni su testi (in genere di fantascienza) che so che riutilizzero' per analizzare qualche racconto o qualche romanzo, magari discutendo a quattr'occhi a cena con degli amici. Alla fine tutto e' archiviato e facilmente recuperabile per l'uso. Sia chiaro Arwan, ognuno fa come vuole e fino a quando mi parli di esigenze fisico-tecniche come le prime due che hai indicato sarebbe da pazzi obiettare. Fiiiu D'altra parte se mi avessi parlato solo di abitudini e di modi di fare... no, non avrei compreso. Be', come ti ho scritto le abitudini di cui parlavano derivano in fondo da altre esigenze tecniche... ;-) Conosco molte persone che stampano inutilmente; per dirla giusta, la maggior parte di quelli che conosco stampano solo per abitudine a leggere sulla carta. In me c'e' una buona parte di abitudine a leggere sulla carta, ma penso che sarebbe in parte stata debellata se non fosse per le prime due esigenze... la terza e' un corollario per non rendere un vizio vano, anche ai miei occhi. Ti sembrero' esagerato ma uno degli aspetti che piu' mi affascinarono quando conobbi il mondo linux fu proprio quello della gestione intelligente delle risorse, dell'approccio all'uso consapevole dei mezzi informatici...

However it is quite slow and clumsy, and is not able to resolve any dependencies the RPM has. There is a better application called gurpmi which is smaller faster, and most importantly *will* resolve dependencies. To make gurpmi the default package installer in KDE open KDEControlCentreFileInformationFileAssociations Type rpm in the search box and highlight the 'x-rpm' item which then appears. In the right hand pane highlight 'Software Installer' and click 'Move Up' until it is top of the list. Click 'Apply' and you are done. HTH derek BTW: If Kpackage is missing from your user menu. It may be because you have selected customised menus for your user. Open KmenuConfigurationOtherMenudrake and menudrake will open in user mode.

[newbie] GNU readline library
Hello,
I'm trying to compile the rlterm program working with the GNU readline
libraries. As a real newbie in compiling issue, I don't understand the
the problem which is happening. I have got the GNU readline 4.3 package
installed on my computer. Rlterm requires libreadline.a which doesn't
seem to exist for Mandrake. Is it however necessary to have this
particular file or is possible to replace the libreadline.a library with
one of the GNU readline package ? If anyone has an idea, I would greatly
appreciate.
I join the Makefile program.
thanks a lot,
Fred
# replace this with the directory containing libreadline.a
# or blank if libreadline.a is visible to your compiler
LIBDIR = -L/home/munro/readline-2.0
# The following switches may be necessary in order for rlterm.c to
# find termio and signal headers on your system:
# -DUSE_TERMIOS to use termios.h (otherwise termio.h)
# -DUSE_SYS_TERMIO to use sys/termio.h or sys/termios.h
# -DPOSIX_TERMIO to use tc.etattr instead of ioctl (implies
USE_TERMIOS)

Re: [newbie] OT: website usability
Anne; Are you looking for a BIOS update to erase the existing password? If so, look for a jumper near the on-board battery, and set it to the only other choice of pins in the set. First, make sure that the power cable is disconnected from the computer. Then switch the jumpers for a slow count of 5 seconds. This reload the default settings in the BIOS. Reconnect power, and restart the machine. Set the BIOS up the way you prefer, and go for it. If that's not the reason for the BIOS search, Please disregard this notice!

[newbie] Modem lights
I have been investigating the Gnome desktop, and have been trying to get the Modem Lights applet working to use it for dial-up. I can't get it to work. When I click on it, nothing happens. It gives pppon (without the speech marks) as the connect command. I assume that pppon is a script, but it doesn't appear to installed anywhere. Trying to run pppon from a command line doesn't work either. How do I get Modem Lights to work, please? I can't find a help file for it anywhere.

RE: [newbie] Xine - update
I think that's just the version of the VCD specifications. FYI: *ver 1.0: Karaoke CD specification, MPEG-1 data in tracks *ver 1.1: Video CD: as 1.0 but chapter marks and multi-volume album facilities added *ver 2.0: Video CD: addition of stills, generic menus, playlists, closed caption text. Xine should have no problems viewing it. I've recently burnt my own VCDs using Nero on Windows, it does them as VCD2.0, both a DVD player and Windows media player played it so Xine shouldn't have any problems at all!
