 Ciao,
 ho provato a configurare tramite il mandrake control center il mio scanner hp 
 scanjet 2300c ma ricevo un avviso che lo classifica come non supportato.
 Ci sono modi per farlo funzionare? Se servono ulteriori dettagli sull'errore sono a 
 disposizione.
 Grazie a tutti dell'aiuto!

Il tuo scanner risulta non supportato sul sito SANE. Ho fatto una rapidissima ricerca 
in rete, ma non ho trovato nulla di utile. Credo che l'unica sia, anche solo per 
rompergli le scatole, scrivere una email alla HP chiedendo loro se esistano drivers 
per Linux...
Ciao...

 Grazie del chiarimento
 Sai dirmi perchè i messaggi firmati in attacchment non vengono
 riconosciuti come firmati da kmail (per mozilla non è così)?

 Ciao e grazie, Germano

Mmh, penso che sia non difetto di Kmail!  E penso che sia lo stesso 
problema a cui chiede soluzione Germano: Kmail gestisce male 
l'interfacciamento col gpg. Addiritura un mio amico non riesce neanche 
a far crittare con kmail! Deve fare tutto da console!
Quindi o passaimo ad un altro gestore (effettivamente quello di mozilla 
so che è migliore) o interagiamo (almeno per il gpg) da console.
Per la firma distaccata ho idea che sia un casino, dato che bisogna 
ricostruire la mail da far analizzare in un file e poi dar in pasto al 
gpg. Potete immaginare quanto è facile scordarsi un carattere nel copia 
incolla di questo tipo, e quanto tempo si debba perdere per controllare 
una firma?
Mandiamo un bug-report agli sviluppatori di Kmail?

[newbie-it] mdk9.1 su travelmate 630

2003-06-06 Per discussione maxdic
ciao a tutti!
ho installato la mdk 9.1 sul mio portatile acer travelmate 632lc dotato di
scheda grafica geforce2.
dopo aver installato i driver nvidia ho potuto impostare lo schermo alla sua
risoluzione massima ed effettivamente X funziona bene.
ho però dei problemi con i terminali virtuali: i tasti ctrl+alt+fn non
funzionano assolutamente ... non posso aprire terminali testuali virtuali.
inoltre quando dico di spegnere il sistema, dopo la chiusura di X i messaggi
in modalità testo sullo schermo appaiono tutti traballanti con un notevole
sfarfallio come dovuto a problemi di frequenza di refresh.
chi sa qualcosa su come risolvere il problema?

ps: ma come faccio a loggarmi come root dal display di avvio grafico di mdk
dove compaiono le icone degli utenti normali ma non di root?

grazie in anticipo!
ciao ciao!

 Scusate l'intromissione ma forse non vi state capendo.
 Daniele ha risposto correttamente a chi si stupiva di poter leggere
 le e-mail (il corpo del messaggio) firmate pur non possedendo la
 chiave pubblica. 

si si l'ho capito ,
parlavamo di cose leggermente diverse,
per chi avesse dubbi,
è chiaro che una email firmata, non essendo destinata a una sola 
persona, debba essere leggibile anche per chi non usa programmi 
crittografici,
chiaramente in assenza di plugin o di chiave pubblica, 
non sarà possibile leggere la firma, quindi verificare l'identitàdel 
mittente

per crittografare un testo invece è necessaria la chiave pubblica del 
destinatario,
quindi solo il destinatario potrà leggere il contenuto del testo, perchè 
si presume che sia il solo a conoscere la chiave segreta correlata alla 
pubblica con la quale è stato chiuso il messaggio stesso

l'ultima possibilità è nell'uso di chiavi simmetriche,
cioè usate sia dal mittente che dal destinatario per crittografare e 
decrittare il testo, 
l'uso è stato superato grazie agli algoritmi che usano chiavi 
asimmetriche,  grazie alla facilità di condivisione delle chiavi 
pubbliche,
infatti l'uso di una stessa chiave implica la necessità di trasmissione 
della stessa a ogni ipotetico destinatario, con un mezzo diverso da 
internet, con tutti i problemi che ne conseguono..


osa:
 Perchè Kmail non riconosce le firme in attachment (tipo quella di
 syd)?

è una delle cose che mancano a kmail,
e che dovranno essere aggiunte nelle prossime versioni,
(però ,  se non ricordo male, la 2.2.2 riconosceva la firma anche se non 
annidata nel corpo dell'email.. forse mi sbaglio)

non escludo però che grazie alla possibilità di usare plugin 
crittografici esista un modo per leggere anche quelle firme,
vedo un pò in giro...

A me basto' creare la directory cdrecorder1, dove il k3b montava il cd writer.
Questo perche' nell'fstab (che il k3b cambia, se glielo fai fare) cdrom e

Guarda il tuo fstab e dovrebbe essere semplice arrivare alla soluzione.

 sconosciuto mi chieda l'autorizzazione per importare la firma dal
 keyserver tramite gpg (che è più o meno quello che fa mozilla).

questo è il comportamento di kmail,
ma non chiede di importare a differenza di mozilla, 

ti dicevo di lanciarlo da terminale proprio perchè è molto chiaro come 
lavori dietro all'interfaccia,
in definitiva quando kmail identifica una chiava, demanda gpg a 
collegarsi al keyserver e scaricarla,
il  tutto è piuttosto prolisso e si vede bene se il problema è in gpg 
che non avvia la ricerca (magari per un errore in qualche opzione) o se 
le chiavi non vengono trovate ecc..

2003-06-06 Per discussione kua79
Salve gente, avrei bisogno di  un piccolo favore, se qlcno utilizza red
hat  8 sarebbe così gentile da spedirmi il file /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
perchè il file di sfondo di grub della RH9 non mi piace, è troppo
scuro, ho provato a modificarlo, salvarlo e poi zipparlo ma 
all'avvio... un
casino. Non me lo vede, o meglio appaiono delle righe strane al posto
del disegno che avevo salvato.
GRazie Ciao



 Scusami se rispondo un po in ritardo ma leggendo capirai il perchè.
 Non ho più installata la RH8, ma se hai la versione originale potrei 
mandarti
 una splash alternativa, quella prevista sulla versione RH9 della 
rivista LinuxC.
 Anche questa è un po scura, eventualmente la provi. Se invece hai la 
versione
 RH9 originale quella nella quale sono presenti le splash appunto 
originali ti
 sarei grato se invece sarai tu a mandarmele perchè ho la versione RH9 di
 LinuxC che ha dovuto modificare le splash originali per una 
questione di copyright
 sul marchio di RH.
 Ti rispondo anche a questa mail per un fatto che l'headers Data: nel 
campo
 degli headers dei tuoi ultimi due messaggi ricevuti portano la data 
2002 e ho dovuto
 modificarla io a mano per far apparire la tue mail nella lista di 
quelle del 2003 e
 dato che io leggo le mail per thread/data ti portavi appresso tutte 
le altre
 appartenenti al tuo thread.
 Non so se è stato un errore occasionale qui da me, ma penso di no 
perchè solo i tuoi
 due ultimi messaggi hanno questo campo Data riferito al 2002, mentre 
per tutti
 gli altri della lista questo fatto non si è mai verificato.
 Vedi eventualmente come hai settato la data nel tuo sistema anche in 
riferimento
 alla data riportata nel bios.
 Fammi sapere, la tua risposta mi servirà anche di verifica.


 Ciao, Giuseppe.


Ciao Giuseppe, si io ho la RH9 scaricata dal web, ti mando in pvt la
splash,anche se a me non piace affatto, ripeto, perchè è tr scura.
Saresti così gentile da spedirmi la tua? Così la provo.
Invece per qnto riguarda la data hai ragione, non mi ero nemmeno
accorto, mi segnava il 2002. Forse è per via del Bios, ho appena
cambiato la motherboard, ho comprato una ABIT e sono pienamente
soddisfatto, sembra fatta apposta per l'overclock !!

 Che fortunello che sono! ;-)
 Dici che il supporto manca proprio per il Kernel e quindi andando su altre
 distro non risolvo il problema? Grazie del vostro interessamento!

Solitamente i sistemi GNU/Linux utilizzano SANE per gestire gli scanner.
Quindi se SANE non supporta il tuo modello, dovresti incontrare le stesse 
identiche difficoltà (leggi impossibilità di utilizzarlo) con qualsiasi 
distribuzione. Questo, che io sappia, non toglie la possibilità che esista da 
qualche parte in rete un driver scritto apposta per il tuo scanner da un 
ignoto pingue utente... da quel poco che ho visto in rete, non ho trovato 
nessuna informazione al riguardo. In questi casi, oltre a continuare a 
cercare informazioni o provare a prendere contatto con gli sviluppatori del 
progetto SANE, è buona norma inviare una email al produttore: hai visto mai 
che HP, spinta dalle email dei suoi utenti, non decida di supportare Linux e 
rilasciare i driver o le specifiche perchè qualche sviluppatore open source 
li realizzi autonomamente?
Buon fine settimana...

Re: [newbie-it] linux frizzato

Forse non c'entra niente, ma se può essere d'aiuto... a me succede qualcosa di 
simile (avevo già chiesto lumi in lista qualche settimana fa) a causa 
dell'xfree4.3 che non mi supporta bene la scheda video ATI rage 128; se 
abilito l'accelerazione 3D, con buona probabilità si pianta tutto dopo pochi 
minuti. Prova a monitorare la situazione guardando ogni tanto nel terminale 1 
(ctrl-alt-F1). Da me prima che si pianti si accumulano messaggi strani, e 
allora devo uscire in fretta da kde (o quello che è) e rientrare. Ho risolto 
parzialmente togliendo l'accelerazione 3D.

 piacevole: linux mi si frizza improvvisamente (e completamente, non vanno

 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

 Qualcuno ha qualche idea di dove potrebbe essere il problema? Non mi era

[newbie] Mozilla problem

2003-06-06 Per discussione Chris Blake
Greetings MDK world,

I got MDK 9.1 and prefer to use Galeon as browser, however, whenever I
click a link displayed in an email message (using Evolution 1.2),
Mozilla opens up and casually displays Done in the status bar, but the
page isn`t loaded.

If I right click the link in Evolution and select Copy location or
open link in browser I get the same result.

I did echo $BROWSER and got usr/bin/galeon...
I been to MDK Control Center, checked for a setting in Evolution to use
a preferred browser but couldn`t find anything.

I`m assuming a value needs to be changed in one of the config files, yes
?

RE: [newbie] lilo frustration!

2003-06-06 Per discussione Adolf, Michael F
I finally was able to change the default to windows, but it should have been
easier. First I opened MCC then selected the big boot icon, got a screen
which had a lilo configure button (been there, done that), then another
screen containing a drop down of boot devices. Nothing yet about a default
boot OS. There are no other buttons on this screen that indicate other
windows or panels. BUT just for kicks, I just pressed the OK button (which
not what users do unless they made a change). OH NO, it wants to install
another package! What the H, I gave the CD it wanted. After installation it
showed me another screen with a boot list containing windows. I selected
windows, which gave me a final screen to set windows as default. Rebooted,
and windows was first on the lilo boot screen! The original install must
have gliched but it didn't tell me.

Thanks to all who responded.

I'm interested in the front-end and driver combo. My understanding is
that scanning is not only a technical issue, but also an artistic
one--scanners work differently, and one's drivers must properly stroke a
scanner to get excellent images. This has been true in the recent past
with Epson scanners concerning sane vs. iscan drivers.

My guess is that when Epson moved from 1.4 to 1.5, there was probably an
improvement in scanning quality. 'Course, I could be wrong. Maybe there
was an improvement to iscan and not the drivers. 

Either way, I'd like to be able to see it in action myself and I can't.

Had the same problem justyesterday. These apps generally have a audio 
configuration tab in their preference to select which kind of audio 
system/server its using, like ALSA, ArtS or OSS (in XMMS at least). For 
some reason I had not installed the complete set of ALSA rpms and the 
apps were not getting ALSA, OSS or anything to work. I just installed 
the complete set, configured ALSA for everything, and voila, it worked.

I have the following list for alsa:

libalsa-data-0.9.0-0.14rc7.1mdk
libalsa2-0.9.0-0.14rc7.1mdk
libalsa2-docs-0.9.0-0.14rc7.1mdk

But, if you do a normal login you will get the full logout window.

What version of Mandrake are you running and what type of MoBo? Just asking, cause the board has to support the sensors. 

lm-sensors is on the 9.1 d/l version also. Listed as lm_sensors and once you have installed the rpm go to command line and type in sensors-detect and follow the instructions from there. If your board does not have sensors you will not get final scripts to insert in etc/rc.d/local and etc/modules.conf

Sorry if this is too basic, but you do have to have the ISP point the IP address to your domain name or the Domain name will not be resolved by the DNS but the IP address will be resolved. HTH Dennis M.

Yes, my understanding is the way my service provider works. They need to know the domain name so that their DNServers can resolve a name request to the IP address. In other words if you type in a browser http://68.96.13.x:80 it will go to the IP address and ask for port 80 access and you would get it if it were set to allow internet access. But if you have a domain name associated with that IP and the ISP does not know it or have their servers point the name to the IP then the domain name will not resolve if you type in  http://www.somedomain.com/ . This is the way it worked for me. Once I had registered the domain name I had to call my ISP tech back and let them know what the domain name was and the address to associate it with, since I had two addresses. HTH Dennis M.

 windows or panels. BUT just for kicks, I just pressed the OK button (which
 not what users do unless they made a change). OH NO, it wants to install
 another package! What the H, I gave the CD it wanted. After installation it
 showed me another screen with a boot list containing windows. I selected
 windows, which gave me a final screen to set windows as default. Rebooted,
 and windows was first on the lilo boot screen! The original install must
 have gliched but it didn't tell me.
 
 Thanks to all who responded.

 If your static IP address your ISP has given you is a non routable address

Use any number BETWEEN 0  255.  Either 0 OR 255 will put you on a
totally diff subnet (big word you needn't worry about unless you're in
IT Or wish ot become extremely acquainted with IP addressing issues.  So
don't go there... trust me its not worth the headache unless you love ot
learn esoteric shit ... like some of us here...).  

So...

192.168.1.10, 192.168.1.24, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.254

any of those numbers will do... but follow the KISS principle is
safest.  *Keep it simple, Stupid*.  I'd use either:

192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.10, 192.168.1.50, 192.168.1.100

Any of those are in simple denominations  are easily scaled if you
later want/need to add more comps to your LAN.  So if you add a new comp
you can make it:

192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.11, 192.168.1.51, 192.168.1.101

photo.  If I just want to print an article from a webpage xsane seems to work
better.  I'm running the 1660, by the way.

It's either Bugbear.B or Sobig.H doing it - so someone's been not only
using an M$ mail package, but they're infected as well...(and they won't
know they're sending it because it's got it's own SMTP server built into

It's too bad he ditched it already because there is a way to maintain
all your old Outlook emails - but it requires installing Netscape or
Mozilla on the Windows machine, importing all the email into Netscape or
Mozilla, then locating the folder with the imported email, copying that
folder to the linux side of life, then using Evo to import from that
folder - saves all the emails, attachments - all of it...then you can
wipe out Outlook/Windows...

Re: [newbie] way off topic again

2003-06-06 Per discussione eric huff
   I used pulse width modulation in an EV motor controller...
  
PWM is used in most DC motor variable speed applications. It
 seems to be about the only practical way to get low end torque and
 high efficiency. I am kind of suprised that some of that stuff has
 not gone to AC motors and a varaible frequency drive arrangment in
 EVs or am I just unaware of new developments?

The GM EV1 has an AC motor.  It takes a much more complicated/expensive  
control circuit to run an AC motor.  We made relays for the EV1, and 
leased one for the company (i used to work at Kilovac).  It was pretty 
nifty, but way too expensive.

Kmail imported my outlook express email pretty well.  Didn't have them 
archived, or anything like that.

Hello JoeHill,

Thursday, June 5, 2003, 9:41:02 PM, you wrote:

 Wouldn't it be relatively easy to write a script virus as an
 attachment and do the kinds of things that happen in Win?

J no for two reasons. one you'd have to execute it yourself, so it's not a
J true virus or trojan unless it can execute itself,

I agree with the strict definition, but most script/executable viruses
now try to trick the user into running it. One of the favorites is to
use a long name with lots of spaces:

nude-picture.jpg   .exe

Most programs will NOT display the .exe part. With the text
description that comes with it in the email, it will sound like
something you just HAVE to look at :-), so. You're dead.

I think linux can't have spaces in the name, right, so this particular
trick won't work?

But, does linux have a file extension (like an exe in Win) that just
runs when you try to open it? In sylpheed, an attached image shows
when you select the attachment, so I presume it 'opens'/runs it. If
this were an executable, would it run?  sylpheed also has an ominous
'execute' button on the toolbar. :-) Does this have to be clicked to
make something run?

J and two, you would have to su to root for the script to get control
J of your machine.

True, it would not be like Win98, where everything gets trashed. But
could it not trash everything for that user? If so, that is still a
big risk for a basically single user machine.

Just trying to understand a bit more
