Grazzissime per le istruzioni per far ripartire quella maledetta scheda madre del P120 che, in virtu' di un resettaggio del bios, non ne voleva sapere di partire. Ordunque: ho seguito passo passo tutto quello che uno di voi mi ha scritto, cioe' smontato tutto e rimeso a posto un pezzo alla volta, riavviando ad ogni aggiunta. La scheda e' resuscitata. Questo, devo dire, e' un ottimo punto di partenza e mi solleva alquanto il morale, ma mi sono incartata un'altra volta. Si', perche' adesso fa il test della memoria, in teoria - credo - fa un check del sistema, non trova la tastiera e si inchioda li'. vorrei tanto sapere chi è l'idiota che ha scritto nel programma di gestione del bios errore di tastiera o tastiera assente, premere F1 per continuare; sono una quindicina d'anni, ma non ho capito come mai se premo F1 a tastiera staccata il pc non se ne accorge . Che sia perche' al primo riavvio dopo lo smontaggio della CPU la tastiera non c'era, e s'e' settato in autoatico cosi'? Cheddevofa'? PS: ho provato ad avviare un P100 funzionante senza tastiera, e il boot si blocca quando non trova la periferica. Nel P120, invece, oltre alla riga di avviso che manca la tastiera aggiunge sotto un CMOS (insomma, quella sigla li' simile...) error. PPS: ho provato a intercambiare le tastiere del P100 e del P120, nisba: tutto funziona sul P100 mentre nulla va sul P120. la tastiera funziona; se premi canc prima di avviare, ti dà il caratteristico beep da tastiera premuta con buffer pieno? -- Arwan

[newbie-it] supporto linguistico per l'alfabeto geez-fidelat
un topic mi ha ricordato (grazie arwan, chi ti prende in giro lo fa solo per invidia) un'esigenza che avevo un po' trascurato. In eritrea ed etiopia si usa l'alfabeto geez-fidelat, noto anche come aramaico per le lingue oromo, tigrigna, tigrei e amarico, sillabico e non letterale come il nostro (ogni simbolo rappresenta una sillaba e non una lettera, quindi i caratteri sono circa 300), col vantaggio che, a differenza di cinese, giapponese, coreano e arabo, si scrive da destra a sinistra. esistono font liberamente distribuibili. per i curiosi, spero tanti: http://www.waltainfo.com/Fonts/vg2main.ttf ora il supporto il bill ghezz l'ha fatto, ma costa un centinaio di euro a licenza e questo costringe gli enti locali a informatizzarsi in questo senso. da cosa del genere vorrei farla per linux e o quest'estate o la prossima vorrei organizzare lì un corso per linux, limitando il triplo problema di dover imparare, oltre all'informatica anche l'alfabeto latino, l'italiano e l'inglese per usare un oggetto semisconosciuto. se questi partono da linux non si automonopolizzeranno sul pinguino. cosa devo fare, e soprattutto, da dove devo partire? so i risultati che voglio, ma non ho la più vaga idea di come ottenerli

[newbie-it] linux ripristinato perfettamente (spero, ma non vi auguro, possa servirve a qualcuno)
grazie a mike e a chi ha sviluppato la iso di partimage (scaricata in 31'12 in isdn 64) ho potuto fare un hardbackup (non file per file, ma cluster per cluster) backup della partizione linux, correggere gli errori che si erano creati nella tabella dell'hdb, ripristinare tutto (linux è passato da 24 a 30 M e swap da 250 M a 2G); per 2,14 G di dati ci sono voluti 42 min per il backup e 7 per il ripristino su pentium 2 300. il file risultante (che qlo) è 692M, giusto giusto per mettere al sicuro il mio backup su un cd piccolo bug, ho detto di salvare su /mnt/lin.gz, ma ha salvato come lin.gz.000, il che mi ha fatto venire una piccola crisi di panico. panico quando al riavvio anzichè il lilo ho visto una serie infinita di 99 sullo schermo che scrollavano allegramente; ho quindi preso il cd 1 di mandrake, istallato in modalità esperto, dando annulla alle opzioni di config di mouse, tastiera, formatta, rete, serverx; istallato 1 sol pacchetto a caso (free pascal compiler, che sicuramente non ha modificato nulla, ma senza questo accorgimento non funzionava, vuole almeno l'aggiunta di un pacchetto), inserito un utente (diverso da quelli noti) e reistallato il lilo. funziona alla grande, sembra più veloce (almeno il doppio); ma, forse per un bug del programma tutto il filesystem aveva permessi di lettura scrittura ed esecuzione solo per root, per cui ho dovuto ripermessare tutta le /home/utenti. resta il problema del doppio avvio del KDE (dopo il boot si blocca il pennello), ma credo sia un bug di xinerama; con un sol monitor non lo fa

[newbie] Installation fault
I have just spent about two and a half hours downloading a package and all its dependencies, using MCC Install Software. When it tried to install the packages, it couldn't, saying that there was an installation fault. It then abandoned the installation. How can I find out what the fault was, please, in the hope that I can prevent it happening in the future? Secondly, /var/cache/urpmi/rpms is now empty. Does this mean that I have to start all over again with another two and a half hours download? This second download may be faulty as well. Five hours downloading is half the weekly length of time I can be connected! For information, the package was the Texstar Phoenix. I have heard some good reports about Phoenix and would like to try it. I am feeling very frustrated at the failure of the installation!

[newbie] Win98 - Samba - CUPS - HPDJ540 fails
Hi All. I'm new to this list, and I've checked the archives and tried all the suggestions I've found, but I am still unable to printfrom either of my two Win98 boxen. My Mandrake 9 machine has most of the packages installed but none are upgraded yet. I'm using kernel 2.4.19.16mdk samba 2.2.6-1.0pre2.2mdk CUPS 1.1.16-0.4mdk The network and firewall functions - all machines can use the internet connection on the Linux box - but pings to the linux box fail. I don't know if it's related, I doubt it, but just in case... I've created smb.conf based on a message in November by Anne Wilson, and my cupsd.conf is based on several messages found here and elsewhere. I can provide them if you like. The error I get is in cups/error-log. It states it is unable to convert file 0 to printable format even though a raw file is sent and application/octet-stream is enabled in both mime.* files. Any thoughts? Should I consider PDQ or find and install some other lp daemon? If so, what print system should I define in Samba?

The printer is attached to the Linux box on /dev/lp0, it's an HP Deskjet 540. I installed it first during installation, where it was automatically detected. I didn't make any drastic changes to the pre-definied settings except to force grayscale. It does print locally and has always printed test pages. According to the Mandrake Control Center (drakconf), wherein I've removed and reinstalled the printer without any problems, the printer is using the recommended Ghostscript + hpijs driver, but I've also tried the CUPS+GIMP-Print v4.2.2 (en) and Ghostscript + [cdj|djet]500 drivers with the same results (local print works, remote from Win doesn't).

[newbie] I need help syncing my Handspring Treo USB with Linux (again)
Sorry to be a pest by asking this again but this is really important in my Linux Evolution. One of the last steps in being windows free in my daily computing is my ability to sync my contacts, to-do and calendar with my PDA. I searched Google for Treo USB to sync with Linux and I found nothing useful. I am running Mandrake 9 (2.4.19-16mdk kernel) on a 500 Mhz PIII with 256MB RAM. I am using KDE 3.0.1 Desktop, Evolution 1.2.1 and would ultimately like to sync my Treo 180 USB with Evolution. I have Jpilot and KPilot installed but I haven't been able to sync with either of these programs. My PDA is a Handspring Treo 180 (GSM phone/PalmOS PDA hybrid). The Treo is running Palm OS 3.5. I need to use the USB connection to connect with my PC. According to WebMin, my USB is set to start at boot and is currently running. (MandrakeSoft, : usb,v 1.44) but I am not 100 % sure it is running. Any help/guidance/instruction on this would be greatly appreciated.

[newbie] OT Hardware weirdness 2
Okay... I tried every trick in the book (and outside of it). And it is still a riddle. I just about took the entire machine apart again, put it back together with basically just the video card and the mainboard. No CDRom, no soundcard, no nothing. Standing upright it collapses within 15 minutes. Most of the time I only had to wait 1 or 2 minutes, which helped speed up the experiments. *wry grin* I tried every card combination, took the power supply apart (nothing strange in there), and still I come up with the same thing. At the moment the PC is on its side again and it runs. Since 5 minutes now, but I am confident that it will stay up. I am at my witt's end with this. Thanks for all the help and suggestions. I have the impression that this PC will remain on its side for the rest of its life, unless someone can come up with the ultimate solution.

Re: [newbie] I need help syncing my Handspring Treo USB with Linux(again)
I have just reinstalled Mandrake 9 and this is the first time that I am going to sync my Palm with Evolution. Even when you PDA is different from mine, I guess this procedure should also work for you. I will give you every single step that I take: First of all, when I do a ls /dev/usb the only active USB port shown is hid, the one used by the mouse. When I do a ls /dev/usb after placing the Palm on the cradle and pressing the hotsync button, then two entries are shown: hid and tts. I make sure to create as root the symbolic link /dev/pilot with: ln -s /dev/usb/tts/0 /dev/pilot Subdirectories 0 and 1 of tts only appear when you hit the hotsync button on the cradle. Next step is going to Evolution-Tools-Pilot Settings. A wizards appears. Answer that this is the first time your going to use the software with the Pilot. Press Next and press the hotsync button on the cradle. It will recover the name and user id from the pilot. If it fails, try again. Sometimes it takes three or four times to get this info from the Pilot. After passing previous step, you should see an open window where you can define your conduit settings. Enable synchronizing ToDo, Calendar, Contacts (I also enable Memos) and that's it. Now, press again the hotsync button on the cradle and you should get the data transfered to evolution.

Re: [newbie] WINE or something similar??
Well my experience has been that the only open source option is wine, however wine is not so stable and requires a lot of fiddling to get it to work, and it is not so fast. VM ware is not for everyone, if you are testing on many OSes it probably is the best choice. I don't know all thats out there but for explorer and similar apps Crossover office works fine. From what I have read on this list Win4Lin is much faster and runs more apps. If you must have it open then have fun with wine Aaron On Sat, 2003-01-25 at 16:49, Chuck Burns wrote: Here's the deal..

On Sun, 2003-01-26 at 01:05, Keith Powell wrote: I have just spent about two and a half hours downloading a package and all its dependencies, using MCC Install Software. When it tried to install the packages, it couldn't, saying that there was an installation fault. It then abandoned the installation. How can I find out what the fault was, please, in the hope that I can prevent it happening in the future? Secondly, /var/cache/urpmi/rpms is now empty. Does this mean that I have to start all over again with another two and a half hours download? This second download may be faulty as well. Five hours downloading is half the weekly length of time I can be connected! For information, the package was the Texstar Phoenix. I have heard some good reports about Phoenix and would like to try it. I am feeling very frustrated at the failure of the installation! Many thanks Keith What I've seen - and found - is that sometimes a package THINKS it's broken when in fact it's really not - same with dependencies - a package, if it can't necessarily FIND it's dependencies will assume it needs them (again) and will TRY to put itself together accordingly. In order to fully bypass this issue, I always (recommend) that the library paths are checked in the /etc/ld.so.conf file - and a re-run of ldconfig be done prior to getting further. The file, /etc/ld.so.conf contains the library paths - which programs are dependent on. If the particular library path is NOT being searched, logically, the program decides it can't go further.

Re: [newbie] I need help syncing my Handspring Treo USB with Linux(again)
Terry, When I tried to run 'usbview' I got command not found. /// Adolfo, I tried your method. Please See results inline First of all, when I do a ls /dev/usb the only active USB port shown is hid, the one used by the mouse. When I do a ls /dev/usb after placing the Palm on the cradle and pressing the hotsync button, then two entries are shown: hid and tts. This worked. I got the 'tts' when I typed 'ls /dev/usb' after I pressed the hotsync button. I make sure to create as root the symbolic link /dev/pilot with: ln -s /dev/usb/tts/0 /dev/pilot Did this(as root). Subdirectories 0 and 1 of tts only appear when you hit the hotsync button on the cradle. Next step is going to Evolution-Tools-Pilot Settings. A wizards appears. Answer that this is the first time your going to use the software with the Pilot. The wizard is giving me two options. 1. Yes, I've used sync software with this pilot before. 2. No, I've never used sync software with this pilot before. If I click the No option, it gives me a slot to put a User Name and ID. I am assuming I should use the 'Yes' option, since I have syncronized my Treo with the Palm Desktop software it came with on my Windows macine, and the device already has a username. Press Next and press the hotsync button on the cradle. It will recover the name and user id from the pilot. If it fails, try again. Sometimes it takes three or four times to get this info from the Pilot. After passing previous step, you should see an open window where you can define your conduit settings. Enable synchronizing ToDo, Calendar, Contacts (I also enable Memos) and that's it. After I answered OK to this final screen, I got the error message, Could not examine the port for Cradle(/devt/pilot). The port should point to a USB serial port. No such file or directory (2) When I go back now and type 'ls /dev/pilot' I get No such file or directory. My Treo keeps displaying the error message The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again.

One of the last steps in being windows free in my daily computing is my ability to sync my contacts, to-do and calendar with my PDA. I searched Google for Treo USB to sync with Linux and I found nothing useful. I am running Mandrake 9 (2.4.19-16mdk kernel) on a 500 Mhz PIII with 256MB RAM. I am using KDE 3.0.1 Desktop, Evolution 1.2.1 and would ultimately like to sync my Treo 180 USB with Evolution. I have Jpilot and KPilot installed but I haven't been able to sync with either of these programs. My PDA is a Handspring Treo 180 (GSM phone/PalmOS PDA hybrid). The Treo is running Palm OS 3.5. I need to use the USB connection to connect with my PC. According to WebMin, my USB is set to start at boot and is currently running.

A step-by-step set of instructions from begining to end would be a wonderful thing. The following is a post from the Evolution list. I know nothing about this (I don't have a PDA), so if you need more help, try joining the Evolution List at http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution Note that the author reports success syncing with jpilot, which you say fails for you, so perhaps you need to recompile the kernel with support for this before moving on. At least you know it does work... :) quote Now... let me see if I can remember how i did it ;-) 1. Syncing already worked between treo and jpilot, so the kernel support and pilot-link support was there and working... (that enough for many other e-mails). 2. downloaded gnome-pilot-0.1.71 source 3. applied the patches that came with the source rpm (gnome-pilot-0.1.65-synctype.patch gnome-pilot-0.1.70-noapplet.patch) 3. ./configure 4. make 5. make install even though I got errors on this... it did put a fresh gpilotd up in /usr/bin Note! I told tools/Pilot Setting/Devices that my device was a SERIAL device NOT a USB device ... go figure Then I fired up evolution, attached the treo, hit the hotsync button, fired up /usr/bin/gpilotd (as myself... not as root)... and watched all my contacts, todo's and calendar items update! -- John M Trostel [EMAIL PROTECTED] unquote I hope this helps.

[newbie] Anyone have a working supermount cdrom?
Hi; I've been fighting with beta2 for so long I think I may have gone into terminal brainf@rt mode. I finally have it recognizing the cdrom, the cdrw and the floppy at boot (no mount point errors) but I can't for the life of me remember how to leave supermount enabled and still have a user accessible removable media drive. All three drives in fact. I have managed to mount the cdrom manually with the install disks inserted; which is weird since supermount is supposed to be on. Some of my backup data files are hangovers on CD-R from when I still dual booted Windows and I can't make the drive read them. Images saved from the past, a few directories of MP3s, etc. That may be a beta problem but I won't know unless I can get consistent drive performance otherwise. I'll need a peak at someone's fstab (working supermount) to stimulate the gray matter in order to complete the job. If it's a beta bug I'll be able to find what so I can make a bug report. Can anybody throw an old dog a bone? Thanks.

I was thinking audio again instead of thinking video - bad me... -- Sun, 26 Jan 2003 12:20:00 +1100 12:20pm up 9 days, 22:03, 4 users, load average: 0.19, 0.17, 0.08 -- |____ | kuhn media australia| | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn| | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ || | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | |'. `\ | | |icq: 5483808 | | ;/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.---.| | mobile: 0410-728-389| | ' `-`' | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | -- linux user:267497 * RH 8.0 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting -- And if you wonder, What I am doing, As I am heading for the sink.

Lot of fun! My Answer: I would tend to think that there is a module problem - and if it doesn't turn out to be a module/driver issue, then maybe something in the architecture it was compiled for? What settings did you choose for kernel types/arch and all that jazz? Did you choose the defaults, or did you make changes to MMX emulation and all that cool stuff? (BTW, what kinda processor is it on the target machine?) Microsoft Answer: It must be some third party software you've installed and therefore we are not able to support you or answer your question.
