Perdona la mia insistenza (l'argomento non da poco!), ma mi sembra che si tratta sempre di modem USB, mentre il mio PCI. Niente suggerimenti? Grazie ancora!

Ciao a tutti. Da quando ho installato la Mandrake 9.1 al boot mi compaiono strani errori, errori che mi compaiono anche al login in modalità testuale: ldm_validate_partition_table(): Disk read failed Cosa vuol dire? Tutto funziona benissimo, ma non capisco cosa sia questo errore... Allego l'output del mio dmesg, così se qualcuno riesce a capirci qualcosa... Grazie mille!

[newbie-it] linux frizzato
Ciao a tutti. Da quando ho la Mandrake 9.1 mi accade talvolta una cosa ben poco piacevole: linux mi si frizza improvvisamente (e completamente, non vanno nè mouse nè le console), e non mi resta che riavviare sperando che il check dei file system non dia problemi. Inizialmente pensavo che fosse perchè sto lavorando ad un progetto per l'esame di informatica grafica (utilizzando opengl) e quando faccio andare il programma quello si prende il pieno possesso della cpu. Solo che a volte questo mi succede anche mentre va lo screensaver (xscreensaver). Qualcuno ha qualche idea di dove potrebbe essere il problema? Non mi era mai successo che linux mi si frizzasse così, sigh... Grazie!

[newbie-it] Info:
Buonasera a tutti, scusate l'ignoranza, ma sono un neofita da pochi mesi (2)del Pinguino, che tra l'altro mi sta veramente appassionando parecchio, visto che non uso quasi più windows, tranne quando non riesco a svolgere qualcosa con Linux, per mia inesperienza, ed ho urgenza di farla. Passiamo al problema, premetto che non conosco una parola di riga di comando, tranne quelle che a forza di tentativi e per esigenze varie ho appreso grazie a Voi ed a riviste tipo linux pratico ecc Pur avendo capito come fare per centrare lo schermo, spostato leggermante a dx, da terminale con il comando xvidtune, non riesco a fare in modo di memorizzare la cosa, per non doverla ripetere al prossimo avvio. Faccio presente che sullo stesso pc girano mandrake 9.0 e windows me, per cui la centratura dello schermo è necessaria per non dover ogni volta spostare le impostazioni osd del monitor. Grazie a quanti con tanta pazienza, avranno cura di aiutarmi.

Re: [newbie-it] k3b

Per risolvere il problema ho dovuto montare un cdrom vero e proprio affiancato al masterizzatore, con non pochi problemi (infatti avevo tolto il cdrom proprio perchè collegandolo alla mobo il pc mi si bloccava all'avvio, alla fine ho risolto la cosa smanettando un po'tra vari slave e master).

You need to cd to the folder in your home then run ./configure followed by 'make' and 'make install' as root (or 'checkinstall' if you have the checkinstall package installed) But almost any application you might want is available as a Mandrake RPM package which for a newbie is a *lot* easier to install.

RE: [newbie] lilo frustration!
I tried several ways, I'm sure MDK was one of them. I think MDK took me thru several lilo configuration windows, but none that allowed windows to be selected. There was one window that displayed a list (6 radio button choices) from which to select a default, but each selection was exactly the same, something like, /dev/hda... The first one was selected. Maybe I should have selected the button in the same position as 'windows' is on the lilo boot display. 6 choices, all the same doesn't seem right to me. mike -Original Message- From: Tony S.

I contacted premium tv, a UK subscription site that provides reports, commentaries, etc on English football was told they don't support linux, but have heard of some people using the Mozilla browser. Is there anybody out there has accessed their service using linux? I assume using crossover windows media? Many thanks Paul M. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] lilo frustration!
On Tuesday 03 Jun 2003 4:35 pm, Adolf, Michael F wrote: I tried several ways, I'm sure MDK was one of them. I think MDK took me thru several lilo configuration windows, but none that allowed windows to be selected. There was one window that displayed a list (6 radio button choices) from which to select a default, but each selection was exactly the same, something like, /dev/hda... The first one was selected. Maybe I should have selected the button in the same position as 'windows' is on the lilo boot display. 6 choices, all the same doesn't seem right to me. Mike, I haven't tried it that way, so I may be off-beam. Seems to me possible though that you are mis-reading it. It's likely that it's saying that it's booting from hda - i.e. that is where it will get the lilo and /boot configuration. In your lilo.conf there will be a line at or near the beginning on the lines of boot=/dev/hda Could be wrong, but have another look at mcc and see if this is what it's referring to.
