Ciao a tutti, cè qualcuno che sa come si può fare a masterizzare un file .avi (acquisito da telecamera DV) in un formato video CD compatibile con un lettore domestico DVD? Grazie a tutti Enrico Piccinini P.S: a proposito, come è andata la cena nelle mie zone (Bologna?).

Salve a tutti, avrei un problemino che non riesco a risolvere! Premetto che ho installato la j2re1.4.1_01... La questione riguarda il fatto che alcune applicazioni non mi vengono visualizzate, in particolare application/x-java-vm... Nè con Konqueror nè con altri browser :( Il fatto è che ne ho davvero bisogno (il sito della mia università ha una pagina che contiene 'sta cosa...). Avevo anche pensato di tornare a collegarmi usando win... !!! Vi supplico, se qualcuno sa cosa fare, AIUTATEM

Ovvero? Non funzionano i cd musicali? Quelli dati? Viene visto dal Mandrake Control Center? Ed in /proc? E' un po' pochino quello che ci dici, per aiutarti... Mi rispondo da solo... c' l'ho fatta sono riuscito a farlo funzionare. No il problema che non vedeva i cd inseriti, un problema di configurazione di modulo, ma ho trovato della documentazione preziosa in un archivio driver di debian dove erano descritti i paramenti accettati da ogni modulo, cosa che la mandrake non fornisce o almeno non ho trovato nulla di simile. Infatti negli howto che ho trovato si parlava sempre a livello kernel, quindi non sapevo come specificare l'indirizzo in cui si trovava il controller cd, in automatico scansionava l'indirizzo sbagliato il 340 invece che il 230 la stringa corretta da inserire nel module.conf alias cdrom sbpcd options sbpcd sbpcd=0x230,1 non options sbpcd io=0x230,1 come avevo messo Anche se ora funziona non viene visto dal mandrake control center, comunque funziona e sopressederei a questa piccolezza, in /proc non saprei, comunque ho dovuto creare il /dev e il link al /dev/cdroms, che non mi ha creato fino a quando il modulo non stato caricato correttamente.

Re: [newbie-it] Suggerimenti: installazione e pacchetti
- Original Message - Penso di si anche perchè ho modificato solo quello di cui abbiamo parlato # supermount -i disable se ne è discusso a lungo in lista e su tutti i NG Si ho letto che c'erano dei problemi, sin dalla mdk 8 (la mia prima versione linux, anche se l'ho usata pochissimo)se non mi ricordo male, ma non ho seguito molto dato che non ho mai avuto problemi sul supermount o meglio se li ho avuti non me ne sono accorto. Sono riuscito a risolvere il problema del cd, un parametro, che mi ha fatto sudare, comunque la creazione del link non dipendeva dal fatto che il supermount fosse abilitato, ma richiedeva che il modulo fosse caricato correttamente. Grazie ancora per tutto l'aiuto che mi hai dato A presto Alessandro

RE: [newbie] iptables stopped
Firewalling/packet filtering/NAT is compiled into the Linux Kernel, it is not a service. You don't start it, you just configure it for operation. The iptables package that you installed is only a user-space configuration utility - again not a service. I would not worry if iptables does not show correctly in the mcc service section. There are web sites that can test your system for firewalling capabilities, for example www.pcflank.com. You might try one of those with iptables enabled and disabled. If you have IPTables installed as an rpm then it is a service. It should not be a server. It should be DLed (the source) along with the kernel source and recompiled. Unless you have DLed the sources like this and reconfigured everything yourself then it is installed as an rpm/server like he states. Uninstall iptables/ipchains and then DLed/install the sources. Its much better and you can see the list of rules/chains with iptables -L. If nothing is listed then nothing is loadedthis doesnt matter how you have it installed.

RE: [newbie] port monitor sought
Hi, Thanks for your answers, but I have to say you've got me confused. Damien says that firestarter will report connection attempts (exactly what I need) whereas Rob says that firestarter is a firewall and does not monitor ports. Since I only use dial-up for my computer and I never use it as a server, I really need something simple. What happened to me was that I was on an IRC when somebody obviously took my IP and attempted an ftp access; he/she also tried to access swat on port 901. What I am looking for is not something which needs to work on its own, but only something which would warn me 'ftp access attempt on port 21' or 'swat access attempt on port 901' and offer to authorize it or not (this is what ZoneAlarm did on my old MS box). Alternatively, I how can I best (remember - I am a total newbie at all this) block all my ports (except http to browse) and open them only only when I need them (in my case probably only ftp from time to time). Sorry for the primitive question... And thanks, Andrei Have you tried firestarter? It's quite simpler than ZoneAlarm --it only has two tabs, one which reports connection attempts and blocked packets, and the other inside of which you can create rules for your firewall http://firestarter.sf.net Ok, this is what initially got me into Linuxfirewalling and security. I am not saying i am the shit. God knows that i am not. I am just saying this is a HUGE field that you actually got to do the research yourself b/c there are so many capabilities of apps out there. Also, i am not stating that Damien is incorrect in his information. Firestarter is not a port monitor. It is a front end to IPTables. IPTables is a firewall. If your wanting a port monitor look into Snort or other IDS (intrusion detection system). Snort is the best IDS out there, with options of a firewall. If your wanting a firewall then go with IPtables. If you go with IPTables and you want a GUI configurator then go with Firestarter. The difference being: firewall: you setup to block/allow certain packets going in/out of certain ports. For instance, if you have a web server but not an ftp server, you allow port 80 and block port 21. IDS: you look at each packet and see if the insides look like an attack that is defined by your ruleset. For instance, if you have an ftp server you obviously allow port 21 BUT you look at each packet and see if it contains malformed packets that would possibly look like a DDoS or something else where the intruder is trying to actually attack the ftp server to grab your /etc/passwd file. Thats more or less security of the FTP server BUT it can be configured in your IDS rules. Just remember that a port monitor and a firewall are totally different. IPTables and Snort can actually do monitoring and firewalling BUT IPTables is made for firewalling and Snort is made for IDS. If your wanting port monitor then Snort would be it. http://www.snort.org for cabled networks http://airsnort.shmoo.com for wifi For IP Tables and firewall http://www.netfilter.org Rob Linux-Mandrake 9 (Dolphin) Mandrake Club Silver Member Registered Linux user: 226850 Registered Linux computer: 183163 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Samba-Only Windows Clients can write to shares
On Mon, 2003-03-03 at 23:37, Technoslick wrote: I agree, Stephen. I think (in my dictionary, the word think is truly a nasty, four-letter-word...) that while i did find one or two option entries that could cause a problem for Samba overall, my main issue is that I do not have my permissions properly set for the directories that I am sharing. So, let me outline the three main types of shares and what I wish to accomplish in each. Maybe you can throw back at me how the directories should be permissed (sorry..in the mood to create words this morning...yawnstill on my first cup of coffee...'scuse..) I am sure that in my present state of highly agitated newbiness, I am just missing a little knowledge on setting my permissions and some understanding of what I left out. Share #1 Secured share with permissions for only one user (not using /home directory share as I want to keep inept and uninformed fingers from accidentally modifying or deleting files/directories that are necessary for their /home.) Must be writable and browsable. Couldn't you recreate the bit in the smb.conf that has the home shares setup and point them to places you want? Otherwise, you should be able to create new groups for these users, and using the Security=Share per each share, have certain ability for some users and not for others...(but they're going to need to be added as users on the Samba machine) Share #2 Secured share for group of authorized users. Users are listed who can have write access to the share. Sticky bit added to allow proper ownership tracking. Same as above Share #3 Guest share for pcguest so that I an allow guests to network access. This would be more for use in moving files to a temporary machine I am setting up for a client off of my network, though I would like it for guests who want to leave something on the server for me or other auth users to access or copy to their own shares. This must be writable and browsable, too. Same as above As I have said before, this is a no-brainer with my Windows clients since they do not have the wide variety of permissions capability. It's just the Linux boxes that cannot write to the server's shares. Especially in using SWAT, you should be able to get it all going - the idea, though, is to have groups of users - so creating new groups should be the starting point - then creating the shares the way you desire. -- Tue, 4 Mar 2003 08:15:00 +1100 8:15am up 11:08, 2 users, load average: 0.36, 0.21, 0.19 -- |____ | 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 -- asynchronous inode failure Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] worried
I'd have to agree on this part. I didn't even know you could put XP on a machine with such little ram, especially when M$'s requirements are 128 MB at least. And where I work, we even have computers with 512 MB or ram running XP Pro, and it can crawl sometimes when running multiple apps. As from my personal experience, mdk 9.0 boots up FAR faster than XP (a stock install, nothing modified, using a Cisco Aironet 350 wireless network card), and even my iBook with OS 10.1.4 on it. I am booted and logged in ready to run apps before my mac or my co-worker's XP machine are even finished booting. He has a Dell Precision with a 2 GHz CPU, and 256 MB of ram .. I have a Dell Latitude C610 with only a 1 GHz CPU, and only 128 MB of ram. Just my $0.02 worth. Terry --- are you trying to convert us ? even if speed would be better on my box , I will NEVER put xp on it. I hate windows on so many levels so speed means nothing to me . besides I run a 1.466 gig cpu , and mandrake has always been faster than any windows product for me. snippity-snip -- Mike McNeese Springdale, Arkansas USA Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Two monitors, Compag 150 as Monitor 1 and Vivitron from Gateway 2k as Monitor 2. One video card that has two plugs in there. The video card is ATI Radeon 8500. Hope this helps?

Re: [newbie] tar questions, ta
better yet, why not just as it is, a device.? I thought that's what i did :). I was tarring directly to /dev/fd0. better yet, why not use cpio? Why not? My feeling is that tar is a lot easier, and probably a lot more portable. I look at the cpio man page and there are all sorts of different formats and to me (and probably a lot of newbies) it's more complicated than it needs to be. Besides I don't think you save anything with it as compared to tar. But there are lots of people (bsd types maybe) that are really conversant with cpio. I figured it would complicate matters more if it were brought up on a newbie list :). Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] tar questions, ta
My impression was it was a 2Mb RAW disk and when the filesystem (DOS) is written to it. 1.44MB remains. AFAIK, the 2mb capacity is 'unformatted' and 'formmatted' means that the drive is low-level prepped for use, timing tracks and so forth have been written. At that point it's a 1.44 meg capacity device. Then you get to format it (i.e., make a filesystem). Of course, formatting in linux is a two step process - fdformat and mkfs. People used to Windows and DOS think of it as one unified process. Your saying that it will just say put in next floppy like winzip does? Doh, if this works, then the previous question is redundant. If you add the -M flag, yes. :) Actually it will say prepare medium in /dev/fd0 or something similar - it doesn't know or care that fd0 is a floppy.

If so, then Downloader for X (NT) can do this. You need to set the depth of recursing variable to the level that you want to go down through the links. To download a whole site, set this to 0 (unlimited). You may also want to toggle the Allow leave this server while recursing via HTTP and Only subdirs for some extra control.
