Grazie Ciao 1+1=10 Io avevo un Yamaha 16-10-40 e non mi ha mai dato problemi, ora ho un Yamaha 20-10-40 e pure lui conferma che la Yamaha è una buona marca.

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This is an urgent message for all 9.1 users. Please back out of the 24mdk
kernel update and downgrade to 18mdk or 13mdk as soon as you are able. A
problem exists in all kernels (except kernel-secure) where newly created
files are created mode 0666 (world writeable) on any filesystem other than
XFS, including remote NFS mounts.
We are working hard to attempt to get this problem corrected with new
kernels available in the next 24-48hrs.
Thank you.

I still think it might be easier to find out what user wget is running as.. and register that with the firewall. Actually, if he tries running Mandrakeupdate, and runs top in a terminal, he may well be able to find out what user wget is using to access the ftp servers..

I can put them on my network and browse the Intenet. I would like to install some flavor of Linux. Maybe a network or boot-floppy installation (since they only have 3.5 inch floppies) that will help me get more familiar with the way Linux works. Debian 'woody' requires only 12 mb of ram and 110 mb of hard disk space. Debian will run on 386 or higher. Of course this is an cli (command line interface) only system. Such as not an gui (graphical user interface). But if you are trying to learn 'linux' the cli is what you want. You can download with windows everything you need to get started. Debian is NOT an auto-install system, but the installation manual is very thorough. Be prepared to do a lot of reading learning. Debian is a throughly modern 'linux'. It has the best 'package' system. Once it is installed. you should never have to install it again. It can be upgrade to a new release 'in place'.

designed to make shonky code that only works in IE.

I do not support Linux in general and Mandrake in particular because it is cheaper (which it is), but because I like the product and wish to support open source.

I'm not sure if it is possible, when installing software in Linux it needs to put files into directory's that a normal user does not have write access in. This is why when compiling from source you need to become root to do the make install step of the installation. I don't know much about proxy's except i don't like them personally but i would think its not to hard for them to do something for you. You only need root access to the computer you wish to do urpmi on so if you can access the net as root you sould be able to use urpmi.

[newbie] Kmix, ALSA and saving levels.
Hello, I'm fairly certain that this has been covered by this lidt, but I can't seem to find it in the archives. My card is a SoundBlaster Audigy, and I'm running Mandrake 9.1 with KDE 3.1.0. I'm also sorry that this sounds so confusing. First, I get XMMS playing. Then I start Kmix(1.90), aumix and alsamixergui. Now, adjusting either aumix or alsamixer will both change the volume, and change the displays on each others GUIs, but not Kmix'. When I change Kmix' volume, the other two immediately move to where Kmix' level is, and the volume changes to what Kmix displays (However, when I place the mouse pointer on the Kmix applet it will say Volume at x% where x is what ever the last value of Kmix was until I move the mouse wheel and change the volume that way (I love this feature by the way, very cool). This is all strange, but as I include it only as it might give a clue as to what is happening. Since I only need to use one mixer (and I love the Kmix applet), the problem occurs when I reboot. Say I logged out with the volume at 10% [by the way the 'x%,' which I get from the applet ranges from 0% to 31%, but seems corresponds to 0% to 100% on aumix]. When I reboot, the actual volume out of the speakers is 10% (and the applet says Volume at 10%), but the slider on the display is maxed out. if I attempt to lower the volume a little bit, the actual volume switches to a little bit below maxed out (even though this is 31%, it's pretty damned loud!). So, there it is. It actually is as strange as it sounds. Any suggestions as to what to do, or whom to ask? With an advance of thanks, Jim. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Linux analog to iTunes BuyMusic.
Hello, Perhaps a bit off topic, but I've gone to Apple's iTunes (must have a Mac) and BuyMusic (must have IE read: M$). I do not support Linux in general and Mandrake in particular because it is cheaper (which it is), but because I like the product and wish to support open source. Could it be that Linux users, as a rule, are too interested in getting free stuff that an mp3 store like those mentioned above (I especially like the idea that one can buy a single song), even allowing Linux users to shop is unnecessary?

Click the setup button in the panel go to the panel settings and pick a theme. If you want to mix and match, the theme icons are located in /usr/local/share/xfce4/themes if you're using my rpm's. Or, if you want to further customize the panel, you can find icons in /usr/share/icons and /usr/share/pixmaps. Menumaker will overwrite the default xfce4 menu (~/.xfce4/menu.xml), so back it up if you want to keep it, or specify another output file (I think it's the -o switch). Run it with mmaker xfce4. You can find options by running mmaker -h. HTH, Todd -- Name that tune #2: Turn up the Eagles the neighbors are listening. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
