Re: [newbie-it] Xine
Anch'io uso alsa ma lasciandogli oss non ho avuto problemi. Comunque o glielo dall'interfaccia grafica (ma mi sembra che non tu non riesca a farlo partire) oppure modifichi ~/.xine/config alla voce audio.driver devi mettere alsa09. Comunque poi dovresti modificare le altri opzioni che si riferiscono a oss; il consiglio è di leggerti le pagine di documentazione di xine. Sigh! con alsa09 non funziona! se do auto viene convertito in null e và, oss non và! documentazione ho trovato solo man xine e non mi è stato di aiuto!

[newbie] CD-R Information
There was a recent thread which talked about identifying the manufacturer of CD-R'S using ATIP information. I have since come across the following, I've no idea how true it is but it makes interesting reading. == Charles Palmer, from cd-recordable.com, had this to say about the manufacturer identification: Two components that many users of these programs always take as gospel are Media Manufacturer and Dye Data. These two readings are next to worthless. The reason for this is that many CD-R manufacturers (like CD- Recordable.com) purchase their stampers (the nickel die that all CD-R substrates are molded from) from 3rd party sources. These 3rd party sources (either other disc manufacturers, or mastering houses) encode the data that these 'Identification' programs read, at the time that the original glass master is encoded. The 'Manufacturer' information that is encoded is usually the name of the company that made the master. Since stampers made from that master will be sold to disc manufacturers the world over, all of discs that those manufacturers produce from those stampers will contain the same 'Manufacturer' information. Information which is obviously quite erroneous and irrelevant. Very seldom will the 'manufacturer' information encoded on a CD-R actually tell you anything other than who made the original master. [...] The second piece of data (the dye type) is also dubious. Because most master/stamper configurations are designed to be matched to specific dye types (Phthalocyanine, Cyanine, Azo, Etc), the 'Dye' information that is encoded when the master is produced indicates the type of dye that the master was designed for. This of course, does not assure that the manufacturer that buys and uses this stamper will be using it with the dye that it has been designed for. It is quite possible that a stamper/dye combination is used by a CD-R manufacturer that contradicts the 'dye' information encoded on the master. Therefore that information becomes as potentially misleading as the 'Manufacturer' data discussed earlier. The only reliable piece of information in the ATIP region is the disc length. == -- Regards Pete ArdnamurchanScotland Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] duplicating hard disk
First apologies.

The problem: I have bought a new 80 Gb ATA133 Hard disk for my desktop running mandrake linux. I would like to migrate some of the partions on the existing disk to the new disk and then 'grow' the remaining partitions to fill the original disk. I tried moving /home, /usr and /var on to the new disk by simply using SU on konqueror and simply copying the files accross. I them altered /etc/fstab to mount the new partitions at reboot. BUT - the copy process changed a lot of permissions and all kinds of things have errored Like: opening emacs I couldn't save back to my emacs preferences because the .emacs... file had been chmodded as part of the copy process. or any number of services failed to shutdown or start despite there being no failures in the copy process. Again probably down to permissions. The Question: How should I migrate partions (/var, /usr, /home) onto the new disk and grow the remaining ones (/, SWAP).

[newbie] dns queries
Hi there: I am having some troubles trying to check my clients zone dns settings. I can use host, dig or nslookup to check for any type of record. No problem here, as long as I know the name of the record I want to check. However, I've been unable to check an entire zone. Let's say that I want to list all the records of the domain anydomain.com which is served by the name server dns.anydomain.com (or x.y.z.t) In Windows, if I start nslookup, set the server to dns.anydomain.com (or x.y.z.t) and enter ls -a anydomain.com I would get the entire list of dns records for that domain. However, Mandrake's nslookup says that the ls command is not implemented, even when it appears nicely explained in man nslookup. Maybe host or dig can help, but I haven't found the way to do it after reading their man pages near a zillion times. Of course, there is the possibility that I haven't understood them a zillion times or have skipped the important part a zillion times. Is there any command that I can use to get entire list of records for a zone? Any help would be truly appreciated. -- __ / \\ @ __ __@ Adolfo Bello [EMAIL PROTECTED] / // // /\ / \\ // \ // Bello Ingenieria S.A, ICQ: 65910258 / \\ // / \\ / // // / //celular: +58 416 609-6213 /___// // / _/ \__\\ //__/ // fax: +58 212 952-6797 www.bisapi.com //pager : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Wanted to tell you what happened yesterday. I installed lm-sensors and gkrellm to monitor temperatures and voltages. Got it setup and running, got alarms right away. The 3.3v is showing 6.4 volts all the time. I'm clueless as to why. I suspect the reported voltage is being doubled. It's surely wrong, because while some 3.3v ram does well up to 4v, anything much over that and it probly wouldn't even boot. How do the 12, 5, and cpu voltages look? ...are they steady? What does the bios say the 3.3v is at? Hopefully it's 3.3+ (3.4 or 3.5). Who makes the PSU? As to temperature - I took the case off, had gkrellm going, showing 114.4 degrees (F. not Celsius). I opened a shell and ran burnK6, and watched it. System locked up in less than 2 minutes, final temperature was 118.2 degrees at lockup. That should not really be the problem, should it? The only reason I refer to Celsius for computer temps is 'cause that's the prevailing convention. 114f = 46c, 118f = 48c, so heat is not the problem. Next likely culprits are L2 cache (on the cpu) and ram. Not neccesarily hardware failure, could be configuration. Are you running the cpu at default speed, and what's the FSB mhz? More likely the problem is that PNY ram. Make sure you're runnin it at bios defaults, which should be cas 3, and bank interleaving disabled. Disable the 'auto' or 'get specs from ram' (SMP) bios setting. The ram might be overstating it's specs. Brands like PNY and other low end vendors, including house brands and generics, often do. If you can, try different (better ;) ram. Try moving the sticks to different slots (even if you only have one stick), and swapping the order around. Clean the ram's contacts with a pencil eraser. For the L2 cache, and this could help the ram too, try running the system with the FSB underclocked. EG, if your FSB is 133mhz, drop it to 130mhz. If that still doesn't fix or improve the problem, then add some Vcore (cpu voltage). IIRC, your XP has a range of 1.55 to 1.75. Try it at 1.7 and even 1.75, the upper limit. Did you try mprime ? It'll stop on hardware errors, usually ram. See what you can find out about that PNY ram. You system should have a minimum of 7.5ns, cas2.5 ram. = 7ns, cas2 would be better. The PNY probly doesn't meet those minimum specs, even if it says it does.

That came from a CD-RW drive manufacturers site, Yamaha. It could be construed as the 'purposely false atip' warning I found on many sites. But, those warnings most often said the recording time and/or speed was overstated. Something I've long suspected. There was one general consensus tho. There's only a few CDr manufacturers, but those are sold under 100's of brand names. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

These two readings are next to worthless. The reason for this is that many CD-R manufacturers (like CD- Recordable.com) purchase their stampers (the nickel die that all CD-R substrates are molded from) from 3rd party sources. These 3rd party sources (either other disc manufacturers, or mastering houses) encode the data that these 'Identification' programs read, at the time that the original glass master is encoded. The 'Manufacturer' information that is encoded is usually the name of the company that made the master. Since stampers made from that master will be sold to disc manufacturers the world over, all of discs that those manufacturers produce from those stampers will contain the same 'Manufacturer' information. Information which is obviously quite erroneous and irrelevant. Very seldom will the 'manufacturer' information encoded on a CD-R actually tell you anything other than who made the original master. [...] The second piece of data (the dye type) is also dubious. Because most master/stamper configurations are designed to be matched to specific dye types (Phthalocyanine, Cyanine, Azo, Etc), the 'Dye' information that is encoded when the master is produced indicates the type of dye that the master was designed for. This of course, does not assure that the manufacturer that buys and uses this stamper will be using it with the dye that it has been designed for. It is quite possible that a stamper/dye combination is used by a CD-R manufacturer that contradicts the 'dye' information encoded on the master. Therefore that information becomes as potentially misleading as the 'Manufacturer' data discussed earlier. The only reliable piece of information in the ATIP region is the disc length. == Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] RE: Difference between 'ISO images' and ' Linux 9.0 for i586'
I'm about to install Mandrake Linux on my laptop and like to know the difference between those two. I guess I need to download ISO images 3 CDs where first one is bootable but what is the 'Mandrake Linux 9.0 for i586 and higher' download for. Do I need anything from there? Well, yes. i586 is simply an indication that Mandrake is designed for Pentiums and better CPUs. 486s may have a problem. You really want all three disks, since the RPMs are pretty much scattered across all three. I was under the impression that CD#1 was basically the base installation, with CD#2 and CD#3 optional, but I found that the labels are a bit misleading. CD#3 for nistance is labeled 'internationalization' which seems to suggest that it is not needed unless you live outside the US where language support (other than US English) is needed but there are other packages on that CD that are important nevertheless.

Re: [newbie] Kenel panic : No init found
Kenel panic : No init found Try passing init = option to kernel after which nothing happens except that the caps lock and scroll lock keep flashing. That's kindo of like booting up DOS without command.com, but not exactly, and probably worse. init is always the first process to start and all other processes descend from it. Not being able to find an init is not a very good thing. What probably happened is that the partition you boot from is somehow damaged - or maybe you are trying to boot from the wrong partition. Any suggestions as to how to get the machine to boot will be gratefully received - or should I just wait to upgrade to 9.1 - which, I assume, will fix the problem. upgrading might fix the problem but this should be fixable with a rescue disk or something. You can try booting from the lilo command line (the boot: prompt) and add something like: boot: linux single init=/bin/sh (I think I have that right) - it would bring up the box in single user mode with just a shell prompt, letting you do some basic admin commands to fix whatever is wrong.)

Re: [newbie] FTP Mandrake 9.0
before they can log on to only there folders/files and not be able to see other users folders/files The approach I'd take on something like this would be to use what is called a chroot jail coupled with ssh/scp for access since that's far safer than simple ftp. That way they can operate in their environment with a regular shell, but the chroot will keep them from going into other directories besised their own. chroot effectively puts the new root == their own home directory and they shouldn't be able to go up in the tree to traverse to other files or directories. Just give them regular home directories using those restrictions. Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com =_1047409061-937-1611-- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
