[newbie-it] Problema con Telnet
Ciao a Tutti, spero che riusciate a risolvermi unn problema che mi assilla e evitarmi la figura di m... con l' azienda per cui lavoro che incombe.Ho istallato da poco sul Pc che utilizzo in azienda Red Hat 8.0, mentre a casa utilizzo Mandrake 8.0. Fi li tutto bene i vari WordProcessor e fogli eletronici funzionano egregiamente. La nota dolente arriva quando devo utilizzare il software gestionale ( si chiama OLIMPIX), che utilizza Informix su di un server SCO-UNIX, il gestionale era styato progettato per essere utilizzato da terminali seriali, quindi non grafici, ma soltanto i caratteri ASCII per le righe dei menu, tasti funzione per spostarsi da un menu all' altro e fare oprerazioni particolari come cercare record, cancellarli aprire i menu di ricerca, ecc. Fino ad ora utilizzavo come tutti in ditta un emulatore di terminale sotto WIN (Tun Emul della Escher), settando terminale Ansi, caratteri SystemPC, dimensioni 80x25. O provato ad utilizzare Konsole ma non ho trovato nel menu delle impostazioni ansi, ho provato prima un pò tutte le combinazioni di tastiera (xterm xfree 3.x.x , xterm xfree 4.x.x, Console Linux, VT100, VT420PC ) ma nulla o non mi riconosceva i tasti funzione o si riempiva lo schermo di caratteri strani. Allora ho preso dal server il file ansi.ti, e sul mio Pc ho dato : tic ansi.ti export TERM=ansi ho riprovato con il telnet, utilizzando tutti, le combinazioni di tastiera disponibili ma nulla. L' unico risultato che ho ottenuto e utilizzando TERM=xterm e tastiera xterm, con questa configurazione vedo i menu anche se non in maniera ottimale, i tasti funzione vanno, ma solo da F1 a F10 se devo utilizzare gli altri F11-F20 come facevamo prima con Shift+F3 ( per ottenere F13), mi compaiono sullo schermo caratteri del tipo : per F20 21;2(il carattere tilde che non trovo sulla tastiera) per F13 2R per F18 19;2(sempre il solito carattere tilde) ecc.. Qualcuno ha qualche suggerimento per risanare la situazione attuale, anche usare un programma diverso di emulazione ? Vi prego qualunque idea puo essere utile per salvarmi e dimostrare che Linux puo fare tutto. Grazie Ciao Dario Miretti Rosati Fratelli srl Via Torino 272 10040 leini (TO) E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[newbie-it] macchina digitale
Ciao a tutti. Ho provato a collegare la mia macchina digitale al pc, ma linux non sembra nemmeno vederla... La mia macchina è una Minolta Dimage s304. Ho guardato nel file unusual_devs.h del mio kernel (quello della mandrake 8.2) e ho visto che i settaggi della mia macchina ci sono già. Allora ho pensato che forse il kernel è già configurato per riconoscermela quando la collego alla porta usb. Ho allora fatto un lsmod per vedere i moduli: usb-storage52236 1 usb-uhci 21668 0 (unused) usb-ohci 19072 0 (unused) usbcore59072 1 [usb-storage usb-uhci usb-ohci] scsi_mod 93244 4 [usb-storage sr_mod aic7xxx sd_mod] Non ci sono tutti i moduli elencati su Linux Pratico, ma ho pensato che Mandrake potrebbe aver installato le cose mancanti in modo statico nel kernel. Il supporto scsi c'è, visto che il masterizzatore è scsi e funziona. Non so però le altre cose richieste... C'è un modo per vedere cosa c'è installato nel kernel e cosa no? In ogni caso, ho poi fatto un tail -f /var/log/messages per vedere cosa diceva al momento del collegamento della macchina. Risultato: il /var/log/massages non fa una piega e se ne sta lì così come era... Quindi, quale può essere il problema? Dite che manca un qualche modulo necessario? Immagino proprio di sì, ma volevo comunque chiedere conferma... =) Grazie, Chiara -- The raven laughed and then he cried of war and blood an those who died ...one friend to have is worth the weight and what you've got - you'll see too late...

[newbie-it] devfs e usb-storage
Ho un lettore di compaqflash su porta usb riconosciuto tranquillamente dalla mandrake 9.0. Quando collego il lettore al pc devfs mi crea automaticamente il dispositivo (/dev/sda1) e poi mi basta montarlo. Il problema è il seguente: volevo disabilitare l'opzione devfs al momento del boot del kernel (devfs=nomount se non sbaglio) ma come creo il dispositivo /dev/sda1 ? E' un dispositivo a caratteri? So ad esempio che per gli scanner bisogna dare il comando: mknod /dev/usb/scanner c 180 48 Per /dev/sda1 ? Come si fa ad associare poi il file creato con l'hardware; è il kernel che associa il file /dev/sda1 da me creato al lettore di CF? Grazie, Pollo.

Re: [newbie] Koffice/KWord warning?

Does anyone else get the following when opening KWord in a terminal? Koffice (lib kofficecore):Warning:KoDocumentEntry:: query [X-KDE-NativeMimeType]=='application/x-KWord' got 2 offers! When using KWord, .xsession-errors gets a lot of these warnings. What does this mean? I also note that when I right click on a .kwd file, in the context menu 'open with' there are two entries for KWord shown. Can anyone shed some light on this please? KWord appears to be working OK otherwise however. --Angus Yes , I've just tested it and the terminal window comes up with the same message. No Idea why though. John Thanks John for your reply and observations. I did a google for the warning message, and came up with a response for the exact message, but it is on a German SuSE mailing list, and, unfortunately I can't read German. :-) The warning on the German list was in regard to KOffice 1.2 Beta2-Installation. Do you also have the double KWord entries in the right click context menu 'open with' when clicking a .kwd file? Best regards. -- Angus Yes it does present the same choices twice over.That is what the message means , isn't it. Your being offered two opportunities to open a kword.kwd file , obviously a glitch in the programme, and incidentally, it does not occure if you call kword from the start menu, there you choose using the search facility your directory containing .kwd files and highlight one and the OK, and obviously there is no double Offer . Yes you are correct Angus. John ** That's interesting. I seem to have straightened out the duplicate KWord entries in the right click menu by editing the file associations for .kwd files. I removed KWord from the file associations for .kwd files, applied the changes, and then re-entered KWord into association w/.kwd files. I now have only one entry in the 'open with' menu to open in KWord, and another to preview in KWord (which doesn't open a separate KWord window, but opens within Konq). This seems like it's working correct. I still get the same warning as before however, about KWord getting 2 offers! Must be a glitch, as you point out.

Finally, can any of you recommend a good HOWTO for recompling a Mandrake Linux kernel? Thanks! One of the reasons for recompiling the kernel is to get the maximum out of your system - when you recompile, you're not using just generic settings that the distributions kernel uses - keep in mind that the distro kernel was MEANT to be generic and all encompassing.

Your MP3s are stored in a computer-readable filesystem. Audio CDs are not mounted the same way, and that's likely your issue.

Re: [newbie] Test
John, bootup, but now I'm actually got this urpmi udate on a cooker going, all be it painfully slow, as I don't seem able to get the wget part of it to reconnect after my lousy isp has cut me off for the umpteenth time, so I have to restart manually with urpmi --auto-select wget -c , but as I say wget does not restart where urpmi update left off updating. Can you tell me how you have configure the urpmi update? I have so many problems I'd like to get the fixed ones out of the road so I can get onto testing the rest of the beta.

For converting mp3 to wav, here is some little script. (it's an early one so don't judge me by it - it's patchwork from others scripts, but it did it for me) You need mpg123 and sox installed (which I guess is pretty much standard). Put it into a text file and make it executable with 'chmod u+x mp32wav' and move it into /usr/bin or something in your PATH. If you start the script with mp32wav *.mp3 in a folder with mp3s or from the Nautilus script folder) it creates a subfolder wav and converts all mp3 into wav files with the same name exept '.mp3' becomes '.wav' b. --- #!/bin/bash # mp32wav mp3file=$* mkdir wav for file in $@ ; do #echo $file wavfile=`echo $file | sed s/\\.mp3/.wav/` printf %-50s %-50s\n $file -- $wavfile # to encode wav--mp3 #lame -h $file $mp3file # to encode mp3--wav mpg123 -b 1 -s $file | sox -t raw -r 44100 -s -w -c2 - wav/$wavfile done --- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] IBM install from HELL !!!!
I have a older IBM model 300 PL type 6862-34u 400 MHZ P2 with windoze 95 installed here where mandrake refuses to install but for that matter so does windows 98 infact I can not run fdisk or format. I get some messages when I use a windoze boot disk or a mandrake boot disk that I have never seen before. If I use a windoze boot disk made from a windoze 98 cd I get a message saying initalising network boot device useing interupt 18 H. starting windows 98 and then a message saying Type the name of the command interpreter E.G. (C:\windows\command.com) and then the usual A_ prompt but if I enter FDISK or Format C: I get the Type the name of the command interpreter bla bla bla message again. If I use a Mandrake boot disk I get a message saying Boot failed please change disk and press any key If I insert a different release of a Mandrake boot disk same message again. I have tried changing every setting in the bios that looked like it might help and still the same problems. I have removed the battery and cleared the cmos, still no good. I have tried to flash the BIOS and it wont let me do that. I have restored BIOS to defalt settings , still no luck. If I do not put anything in the floppy drive I get a normal startup in win 95 YUK !!! also a normal start in win 95 with a CD in the CD drive. After a start in win 95 I am able to read data on the floppy just fine. I have installed winblows plenty of times and the same with Mandrake but I haver hit a stone wall like this!!!

Were you using d4x in beta 3? If so was it through urpmi? If so where from? I have added cooker main contrib and another cooker to urpmi (can't remember which one), but it would not find it, also it will not find the nvidia drivers. Thanks, Tony. Well, I don't use RW's. I see no good reason to with CDr's at 30¢ each. There's a very good reason not to, specially for iso's. RW's, even when brand new, will not be as 'readable' as CDr's will. I often suspect those that report problems with iso CD's failing to install properly, fail to mention they're using cd-rw's. d4x is just a download buttler. It doesn't find, d/l, and install updates as urpmi does. d4x is just a GUI frontend for wget. It just make d/l'ing multiple files, specially more than one at a time, easy. It definitely will resume failed d/l's and allows you to throttle how much of your bandwidth to give to d/l'ing, among many other features. I use sunsite 'cause it's the primary mirror and updates often (hourly). Unless you update cooker several times a day, you'd probly be better off using one of the less busy mirrors listed on the mirror list at http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/cookerdevel.php3 You won't find the nvidia drivers on Mandrake cooker mirrors. MOF, you won't find any non-free and/or proprietary software. As for the cdrw disks, I think you are right. I could not get 9.1b3 to install, it would hang part way through in different places. 9.1rc1 Installed without a hitch, well except for the known hitches. So I think I will only use the cdrw's as a storage device and make sure I can read them at that. -- Dennis M. linux user #180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] IBM install from HELL !!!!
Hi When I have encountered problems like this, one program that has helped me is a little utility called aefdisk. It is available from the usual sources or www.aefdisk.com I use it with: aefdisk /delall That blows away the mbr and writes a clean new one. If this works, anything that was on the disk will be useless. But I guess that is what you want. Give it a spin. You'll have to include the system files on the floppy.

Re: [newbie] What is .mpga
On Thursday 20 February 2003 18:12, you wrote: Maybe someone made a typo? I suspect they're mpeg-2,3, or 4 files (.mpg, .mpeg, .m2v, etc), which are video files. If you play one with mplayer from the CL, in the console ouput you'll see the actual file type. Mplayer, (maybe other players too?) ignores the file extension and auto detects the file type and uses the proper codec for it. No typo. My wife sings in a choir. One of the members downloaded bunch of music samples from the net and I promised to make a music cd out of them. XMMS or Noatun play them allright but when I tried to convert them to wav like usual mpg it failed. Will try mplayer if I find a way to download it.
