Masterizzi se diventi root ?

[newbie-it] CONTROLLER RAID E MANDRAKE !

2003-08-04 Per discussione Rocco
Salve a tutta la ML,

spero che anche ad agosto ci sia qualcuno che possa darmi qualche utile
suggerimento su come far riconoscere a Mandrake 9.1 il controller RAID
(0), settato in modalità stripping, della PROMISE 20276 che mi gestisce
due hard disk!
Dopo che DrakeX parte mi riconosce tranquillamente anche il mouse con
rotellina, si ferma all'atto di riconoscere dove installare il sistema
operativo dando per unknown il controller raid della promise 20276,
quindi di fatto non vede nessun Hard disk!

  Ora se tento di montare hda5 , mount mi restituisce il seguente

 hai provato a vedere se nella vecchia  /usr ci sono ancora i tuoi dati?
 hai formattato senza rileggere la tabella delle partizioni, e forse
 quando sei andato a montare il disco non ti sei accorto dell'errore,
 quindi non hai spostato i dati..
 spero per te che sia andata così..


Dentro qualcosa cé ma non mi ricordo purtoppo cosa c'era prima, comunque
Diskdrake mi haveva chiesto se doveva spostare tutti i dati e io gli avevo
risposto di si.



  Poi visto che l'errore che mi da all'avvio dice:
  pivotroot: pivot_root (/sysroot, /sysroot/initrd) failed: 2
  Kernel Panic: No init found.

 mah questo è diverso,
 se non riesce a montare nemmeno la / dipende magari dalla mancanza
 dell'immgine di init...
 ma non ci sono legami con la /usr..
 hai anche rimaneggiato lilo.conf e all'interno di /boot?


No non avevo toccato nulla ma ho notato che nel file lilo.conf la parte

image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=Linux
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append=devfs=mount acpi=off quiet


Il problema potrebbe essere hda5 che non riesco neanche a montare in
modalitá rescue ??


mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda5, or too many

Comunque vada grazie per la disponibilitá e l'aiuto ( sei grande ), ma se
entro fine settimana, smanetta smanetta ( tanto peggio di cosí) non
raggiungo qualche risultato reinstallo tutto, mi dispiace solo per il

Re: [newbie-it] RISPOSTE A... Masterizzatore montato in sola lettura !?!?!

2003-08-04 Per discussione Giuseppe Ferruzzi
* kua79 ha scritto:
 
 Già che ci siamo, mi spiegate a cosa serve quel udf?!?! Sul man non ne
 parla...

Allora Davide ho cercato info riguardo a udf, ed è relativo ai CDROM
riscrivibili che utilizzano un sistema di scrittura dei dati denominata a pacchetti
che come substrato utilizza appunto un file system chiamato UDF. Viene asserito 
anche che la possibilità di scrittura su un filesystem UDF
non è normalmente consentita (considerata pericolosa) mentre la possibilità
di lettura è normalmente gestita. Sembrerebbe dunque che manchi questo
modulo di supporto UDF al tuo kernel che non trovandolo non ti monta
in sola lettura il masterizzatore. Rileggendo le mail precedenti ho letto che 
miKe aveva accennato a questo fatto e deprecato  per l'eventualità che
tu invece la usassi, proprio per le ragioni su esposte.
Ho guardato il mio fstab e ritrovo questo richiamo a udf anche nella
configurazione del mio CDROM che è così impostata:

/dev/cdrom  /mnt/cdrom   udf,iso9660   noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

Nota che udf c'è per default non l'ho inserito io, ho ro anzichè rw avendo solo un 
lettore. Sembrerebbe che la RH supporti questo sistema udf e che magari abbia
risolto sul fatto della pericolosità, infatti nella ricompilazione del kernel
normalmente in makemenuconfig sui file systems non c'è la possibilità di inserire il 
supporto UDF come modulo ne la possibilità di incorporarlo nel kernel, se in RH c'è di
default allora evidentemente ha reso questo sistema UDF sicuro e la voce in
makemenuconfig suyi file systems abilitata per la scelta anche in fase di scrittura.

Ci sarebbe la possibilità di verificare questo leggendo il config del tuo
kernel che si trova in /boot, dovresti trovare due righe uguali a queste: 
CONFIG_UDF_FS=m
CONFIG_UDF_RW=y

Dai che forse siamo sulla strada giusta, può darsi che sia questo il
problema, altrimenti comunque sono sempre cose che non fa male conoscere.

 No ti sbagli, centra anche fstab!! In fstab ho toglievo l'opzione
 ro (read only) sostituendola con rw e cancellavo cd o

che non accede al mountpoint ma al dispositivo,
infatti indichi dev=x,y,z e non mnt=pincopallo...

poi, a voler essere precisi,
mi spieghi come sarebbe formattato un cd vergine?
come potresti montarlo??

e come potresti mai scrivere su un iso 9660 ??

il tuo problema non è nel montaggio, che _non_ fai prima di 
masterizzare, ma da qualche altra parte,
forse i premessi dei disposiivi, forse l'emulazione scsi o qualche 
libreria mancante ecc..

devi dirci l'errore che ottieni...

ti ripeto che montare un cd per scriverci, è possibile solo ricompilando 
un kernel col supportoinscrittura per udf, 
ma è tutta un'altra cosa, visto che il cd verrà trattato come un floppy 
o uno zip, quindi non parli più di masterizzazione ma di scrittura 


 In fstab ho...
 /dev/cdrom1   /mnt/CDRW  udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

sul cd puoi mettere auto, il resto puoi condensarlo in un default,user 
ma non c'entra nulla col problema

  hai anche rimaneggiato lilo.conf e all'interno di /boot?

 No non avevo toccato nulla ma ho notato che nel file lilo.conf la

argh..
non era 6?

questa è una tua vecchia risposta:

se tento di montare hda6 l' operazione va a buon fine , l' output del

qualcosa non torna...
/ è la 6 mentre usr (farlocca) la 5...
se fstab dice che / è in 5 non può partire nulla...

rescue

Re: [newbie-it] come configuro scheda audio??

 Sono un assoluto principiante di linux. Ho installato  mandrake 9.1 e

da utente normale,
apri una console (konsole, xterm)
ti appare un prompt $

 digita esattamente:  

$ cat /proc/pci  pci.txt

quindi incolla pci.txt nella mail che ci manderai in lista

nella stessa console puoi anche diventare root
digitando 
$ su
e immettendo la password di root

a questo punto il prompt cambierà da $a #
per farti capire che non sei un utente generico, quindi puoi fare danni,
a questo punto potresti anche digitare
# dmesg  dmesg.txt
e incollare anche questo alla mail

siccome il testo degli output sarà copioso,
taglia le parti non relative alla scheda audio, se possibile

(per aprire i due file txt ti consiglio kwrite okedit, o  gnotepad, o 
kate, sono molto semplici e supportano ctrl+c e ctrl+v per 
copiaincollare) evita per ora editor testuali come vi o pico o mcedit

Re: [newbie] initial apache setup

2003-08-04 Per discussione Stefano Pogliani
I have a different configuration but, initially, I had a similar problem 
I think.

Since my two boxes were linked to a router which was, in turn, linked to 
the internet, when my second box was trying to access the web server of 
the first one, actually it looked liked it was accessing itself 
(because of the router).
I had to create a correspondance in the hosts file (192.168.0.2 
my.second.machine) in order to make it working properly.

Is there some network config file that has to be set up in LM9.1 in order to

RE: [newbie] apache setup and archives

2003-08-04 Per discussione Frankie
hmmm, well I have the same thing, eth0 for internal, eth1 for external..

I have apache advx working for the most part, although I did suffer with
some probs running mod_perl apps, they only work with :8200 in the url, (I
use virtual named hosting).

other then that, I have half a dozen domains running php on this box.

I don't use MCC for much of anything, I have my smb.conf and do everything
else by hand, most importantly the network connections.

AS for the firewall, I have never used shorewall, i keep meaning to, then I
read posts like this one about it and decide to stick with gShield. (with
is a simple text config you answer yes or no to each quesiton and it just
works.)

Sad as it is to me, I'd like to say nice things about msec, as its a
fantastic idea in theory.. but even on the servers I set them to normal and
tighten things by hand.. every time I try a server setting, I have no end
of trouble getting things to work..

The problem as I see it, is that mandrake have alot of really good
programmers, but no really good software designers...

I also think mandrake should make a bunch of webmin modules for mandrake
specific tools.. msec should be a bumch oc checkboxes where you can choose
custom and just tick the items you want enforced.

I winge about mandrake alot, but i have to say that having tried several of
the alternatives, its still IMHO the best of the bunch for most things.


just my thoughts..

   I was about to recommend to a friend that she run her business on

   I'll let sleeping dogs lie and let her go to SuSE instead.

 I'm glad I haven't.  :-)

 Actually, rereading it I seem to have come off a bit more cranky than I
 meant to.

 The reality is that in many cases a lot of networking aps don't
work out
 of the box if you've done something the least bit strange from
MCC's point
 of view.  In my own situation it's the use of eth1 to go to the outside
 world and eth0 on the internal network.  This throws all the
wizards with
 respect to networking out of whack on MCC which wants to insist
on eth0 as
 the outward bound device and eth1 + as inward facing.  My
suspicion is that
 this is hard coded in the script rather than making use of variables and
 responding appropriately.

 When I said MCC borked my system I wasn't kidding.  It took
three days of
 rewriting conf files to get things back to normal again.
During that time
 most of the machine's functionality was lost.  I could have
reinstalled but
 I'd have learned nothing so I went ahead and did it all by hand
making very
 many mistakes and learning a fair bit in the process.  Not the least of
 which is how interconnected things are in Linux. :-)

 As for Apache...it seems the default scripts that Mandrake
places made the
 same assumptions about which device did what as the MCC scripts
did.  Not a
 big problem.  Replace and go for it.

 Figure out how to get Shorewall to open port 80 on the internal network
 only, which wasn't fun.  (With Shorewall I'm strating to think
that there's
 something in my braincells that doesn't make a connection with
howtos and
 examples that don't match the actual configuration screens.  In
any event,
 it works now.)

 Set up BIND and DNS to handle things there and beat Samba into
submission
 so that the Windoze boxes, now only laptops, can read it.

 Upload a web page with the entirely original phrase Hello World
written on
 it in dull script.

 Can't get there from here..even though I can ping it.  Even
more annoying
 and puzzling is that the Win 98 laptop has no problem but the Linux
 machines all error out.

 Anyway..the point I'm at now is having Apache log everything and looking
 for what it might be.  Ditto DNS and BIND.

 This never happened on 8.2 :-)

[newbie] LinPopUp cannot receive msgs from Win2k box

2003-08-04 Per discussione Jerry Barton
I've installed LinPopUp on the main box (this one...) and have Windows 2000 
Professional on a secondary box.  LinPopUp successfully sends messages to the Win2K 
box but does not receive messages from it.  I have the message command in my smb.conf 
as follows:

message command = /usr/bin/LinPopUp %f %m %s; rm %s

Still, I don't receive any messages from the Win2k box using either Fomine WinPopUp or 
net send from the command prompt.  

Back when I was on Mandrake 8.2 I seem to remember being able to receive messages from 
the secondary box back when it was Win98se.  Does LinPopUp not work with Win2k to 
receive messages?

Ladies and Gentlemen, Hobos and Tramps,
Cross-eyed mosquitos and bowlegged ants,
I come before you to stand behind you
To tell you of something I know nothing about.
Next Thursday (which is good Friday),
There will be a convention held in the
Women's Club which is strictly for Men.
Admission is free, pay at the door,
Pull up a chair, and sit on the floor.
It was a summer's day in winter,
And the snow was raining fast,
As a barefoot boy with shoes on,
Stood sitting in the grass.
Oh, that bright day in the dead of night,
Two dead men got up to fight.
Three blind men to see fair play,
Forty mutes to yell Hooray!
Back to back, they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other.
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
Came and arrested those two dead boys.

I don't know as I don't use vhosts, but I actually like the set up of

and see if I can find a sample vhosts file on here somewhere; I'm
guessing it uses the same format.

[newbie] oss emulation through alsa

2003-08-04 Per discussione John Drouhard
I have Mandrake 9.1, and would like to run OSS emulation through ALSA.
The reason for this is that when I try to run games with wine, it only
works with OSS. The problem with that is, Shockwave Flash doesn't work
at all on the internet. I would like both of these to work at the same
time, and I thought that this would do the trick.

Here is my modules.conf. I have and intel 810 based onboard sound card.

probeall scsi_hostadapter usb-storage ide-scsi
probeall usb-interface usb-ohci

Mandrake 9.2 Beta 1 Released.
Mandrake Linux 9.2 Beta 1 has arrived to offer you the opportunity of
summertime bug squashing. Join forces with the Mandrake Development team

release is for testing purposes only and is not suitable for production

So how does one in all practicle terms do this on a 56kdialup modem.

By the time I've downloaded 3 iso's , done the md5sum's, written the
iso's to disc, tested the discs to be faithful reproductions,  installed
OS, done a minimum of half a  day's  post install reconfiguring, to get
it up and running, and then probably a week's fiddling around in all the
apps looking for faults to report ,   mandrake have gone on to bets2 or
beta3 releases.
John
 

Tom Brinkman has posted some directions (I think it may have been on the
expert list) about how to do this. basically it involves getting setup
and updating only as cooker is updated, and not re-downloading the
complete ISOs, just sucking down the changes. Search the archives for
cooker update ought to help
   

Right, once you have the first beta d/l'd cooker updates work or you  should 
be able to run rsync to cut down time to d/l new beta's or release 
candidates.  Rsync only d/l's the changes. See man rsync or google cause 
there are some good tutorials on it. HTH
 

 

So which is best ,
slap in a repeat of my already configured and pretty well running M9.1
using a drive image programme.
write a stanza to boot it.
and then urpmi that as far as possible, which would have to be done at
night  as It's the only chance I have to get about 2 hours uniterrupted
install.
or ,

download the  3 iso cd's and burn to disks and install etc. and then
urpmi this install.
from my point of view the first option is quicker.

This is interesting.  Novell has been making a lot of noise about Linux lately 
and how it intends to support it.  In that respect it's probably good news.

Strictly on the PR side the fact that the former owner of SCO Unix is building 
it's Linux committment is a lovely shot at SCO/Caldera.  One would expect 
that Novell has roughly the same access to the source code that SCO is 
whining about and has concluded that there isn't a problem.  It's all very

The MCC issue is kinda curious.  It detects the NICs correctly and, unlike XP, 
even identifies them properly.  It sees the ISP on eth1 and the internal 
network on eth0 but the moment I let it go it reverses everything.  I'm also 
wondering if it's little issue is that they're both DHCP assigned.  Still 
it's a pain in the buttocks.

 I currently have an ipaq and am trying to put linux onto it.  I need
 to convert the usb cradle to serial cable and was looking at the
 how-to page on the subject.  Am I correctly interpreting the table
 (http://cvs.handhelds.org/minihowto/h3600-serial-cable.html) in that
 I simply connect the pins listed in each row of the table together?
 Also, I opened up the ipaq cradle and looked at the chip inside.
 The wiring looks like it would need to be very precise.  Not having
 played around with hardware too much, I was wondering if anybody
 could give me some suggestions as to the best way for me to go about
 wiring the pins.

It took me a few days to figure out how to do it, but I finally
managed to build such a cable.  You can rip the USB cradle apart, and
re-use the little circuit board found inside (with the attached
connector) to build a serial cable that works.

Here are some pictures of my cable:

  http://www.jimpick.com/pub/photos/2000/ipaq/homebrew-ipaq-cable.jpg
 
http://www.jimpick.com/pub/photos/2000/ipaq/homebrew-ipaq-cable-closeup.jpg

The connnector on the internal side of the little circuit board is a
14-pin Hirose DF13 Series, which you can get from www.digikey.com.
All you need is the nylon connector (DF13-14S-1.25C, 33 cents each)
and some crimp contacts (DF13-2630SCF, $3.45/100).  Don't bother
getting the crimp tool ($989.81) -- you can use a regular crimp tool
instead.

Theoretically, you can just use the same existing connector that the
USB cable is wired into, so you could have a dual USB/serial cable.

Apart from that, you need some wire, and a standard DB9 connector on
the other end.

The pinout on the website is only valid for the external connector.
The internal connnector has the pins in different positions.  I had to
figure out the pinout manually (I started the project before the
external pinout was posted on the website).  But I have verified that
everything makes sense.  Here's the pinout:

  External  Internal (Hirose)  DB9  Signal (DTE=PC, DCE=iPaq)
    -  ---  -
 5 27RTS
 6 38CTS

First IBM. Now Novell. There have been some others not as big or as 
much in the public's eye. Each had/has a hand in what SCO has been 
bitching about. This is what we need. One by one, big hitters to step 
out of the cowling crowds and telling SCO in a business like way they 
aren't backing down, they're actually pushing harder. SCO (and M$) 
can only benefit from this if everyone cowers and falls back. I have 
a lot of respect for these companies for publically stating they are 
going to continue and/or intensify their interest in Linux. It 
doesn't matter to me that there's an underlining agenda for each. In 
the long run, we all benefit if SCO has to back down because no one's

Hmm, mine works fine here with right click+ paste.  Also works with 
middle click or Ctrl-V.  Which version are you using, the

updating to gtk2, so you might want to try a newer version from cooker 
(gaim-0.64-3mdk).  I seem to remember I didn't like gaim-0.59.8 much.

Also, I find the rpms that Gaim itself distributes to be just squiffy. 
I am using 0.64 now, but am in the process of updating to 0.66.  They 
make mdk rpms.  Whatever you do, don't use .65- I think it was pretty 
broken.

Here's the link to find packages:

If you have the Texstar rpm repository set up in urpm you can install 
0.66 as easy as pie.  It works better than any of the previous versions

 So how does one in all practicle terms do this on a 56kdialup modem.
 
 By the time I've downloaded 3 iso's , done the md5sum's, written the
 iso's to disc, tested the discs to be faithful reproductions,  installed
 OS, done a minimum of half a  day's  post install reconfiguring, to get
 it up and running, and then probably a week's fiddling around in all the
 apps looking for faults to report ,   mandrake have gone on to bets2 or
 beta3 releases.
 
 John
 
 Tom Brinkman has posted some directions (I think it may have been on the
 expert list) about how to do this. basically it involves getting setup
 and updating only as cooker is updated, and not re-downloading the
 complete ISOs, just sucking down the changes. Search the archives for
 cooker update ought to help
 
 Right, once you have the first beta d/l'd cooker updates work or you 
  should be able to run rsync to cut down time to d/l new beta's or
  release candidates.  Rsync only d/l's the changes. See man rsync or
  google cause there are some good tutorials on it. HTH

 So which is best ,
 slap in a repeat of my already configured and pretty well running M9.1
 using a drive image programme.
 write a stanza to boot it.
 and then urpmi that as far as possible, which would have to be done at
 night  as It's the only chance I have to get about 2 hours uniterrupted
 install.

 or ,

 download the  3 iso cd's and burn to disks and install etc. and then
 urpmi this install.

 from my point of view the first option is quicker.


 John
I don't know for sure which is faster. I don't know for sure what the first is 
for. For Beta testing the d/l and then do a rsync on one of the mirrors for 
beta 2 , 3 etc would be faster. My guess, again not sure how much change will 
be made between betas.  My $.02

[newbie] dictionary installation

2003-08-04 Per discussione Josenildo Marques
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi, folks.
After two successive failures trying to install a dictionary, I have to ask 
you for some guidance. 
I downloaded an apparently useful dictionary/thesaurus from
http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/

Its docs say it runs on Solaris, Irix and Linux.
Although I have other dictionaries, I think the more I have, the better.
I unpacked the tar ball, read the install file and the make file and altered 
the latter to suit my system (MDK 9.1). Then, as root, I installed it but it 
didn't work at all. In the makefile I choose /usr/local/bin as the path. 
There are some changes and options which are not very clear to me and that's 
why I think I better show the makefile options.

SHELL=/bin/sh

# Makefile for both source and binary distribution of WordNet 2.0

###
#
# The WordNet Unix release is provided as a binary installation for 
# the following platforms:
#
#   SPARCstation running Solaris 7
#   Silicon Graphics Mips processor running Irix 6.8.3
#   PC running Redhat Linux
#
# If you are using one of these systems, you should select the the
# appropriate PLATFORM below, and use the 'make BinWorld' command to
# install WordNet from the pre-compiled binaries.  Check the settings
# below first to make sure everything is installed where you want it.
#
# This package also includes the source code for the WordNet library
# and interfaces. If you plan on building your own WordNet application,
# or are running on a platform other than those listed above, you
# will have to read the comments below under Platform specific stuff
# and make the appropriate selections and changes for your system.
#
###

# Settings for binary installation on Solaris, Irix, or Linux 
# and source code build. 

# To perform a binary installation, make the appropriate settings
# in this section.  You also need to do this if you're going to 
# compile WordNet from source.

# Platform for binary installation.  If you are using one of the 
# following operating systems you do not have to compile the package.

#PLATFORM = solaris
#PLATFORM = irix
PLATFORM = linux

# The WordNet system must be installed in a directory hierarchy.
# WN_ROOT is the root of the WordNet installation hierarchy.
# The default is /usr/local/WordNet-2.0.  If you want to install
# WordNet 2.0 in a different directory, change WN_ROOT below.  
# Note that you must have write permissions for the installation path.

# The installation process will create the following subdirectories:

#   bin WordNet executable programs
#
#   dictWordNet database files (the WNSEARCHDIR environment
#   variable must be set by the user if the database
#   is NOT installed in /usr/local/WordNet-2.0/dict)
#
#   lib library of WordNet search code functions (libwn.a)
#
#   include header files for use with library functions
#
#   doc WordNet Reference Manual in HTML and PDF
#   
#   man WordNet Reference Manual in 'man' page format

# Default installation paths

WN_ROOT = /usr/local/WordNet-2.0

I chose /usr/local/bin/ in one of my attempts.


# By default, precompiled WordNet binaries are installed in 
# $WN_ROOT/bin.  You may specify another location, such as /usr/local/bin.
# By installing the binaries in /usr/local/bin, you probably do not have to
# change your PATH environment variable.  

WN_BINDIR = $(WN_ROOT)/bin

- --- I do not know which dir to choose here.


# By default, the WordNet database files are installed in $WN_ROOT/dict.
# You may specify another location.  If the database is not installed in
# the default location, you MUST set the environment variable 
# WNSEARCHDIR, or the WordNet browser will not be able to run.

WN_DICTDIR = $(WN_ROOT)/dict

# By default, installing the database files is done by copying them
# from the dict subdirectory into WN_DICTDIR.  To save space, you
# can set INSTALLCMD to 'mv', which will move the files instead of
# copying them.  This is slightly dangerous since you won't have a
# copy of the database files in the release directory.  If you set
# INSTALLCMD to 'mv', you must set INSTALLFLAGS to nothing.

INSTALLCMD = cp
INSTALLFLAGS = -p
#INSTALLCMD = mv
#INSTALLFLAGS = 

# By default, the WordNet library is installed in $WN_ROOT/lib, and
# the WordNet header files are installed in $WN_ROOT/include.  These
# used when developing new applications that access the WordNet
# database files.

WN_LIBDIR = $(WN_ROOT)/lib
WN_INCDIR = $(WN_ROOT)/include

# By default, WordNet manual pages are installed $WN_ROOT/man. You may 
# specify another location, such as /usr/local/man.  By installing the 
# manual pages in /usr/local/man, you probably do not have to change 
# your MANPATH environment variable.

That's a good point. Most OpenSource developers are not rolling in the 
dough. Any serious backing is only going to improve their ability to 
produce better distributions, applications and systemware.

I can't help but prematurely smile over all of this. My inner sense 
tells me that SCO's bluff has already backfired, and as a result is 
now strengthening the very infrastructure that they had hoped to 
leech off of and control. Big business is a dangerous game to play. I 
would not want to be SCO's elite right now. I can smell the sweat 
from here.

 When you run the spellchecker what language is it checking?


English. That's all I use. 


The reason I asked (I should have stated this earlier.) was because I 
had the same problem when I first ran spellchecker.  It had Download 
More as the language so I assumed (incorrectly) that is was 
automatically checking English, since that was the language of the 
browser I was using, and that I could download more language modules if 
I wanted to.  When I changed it to English-- everything worked as it 
should.  This may have only made a difference because I had not yet 
chosen a spellcheck language; I don't know.

I guess that in your case this does not apply.
