Capisco che è una bella mazzata di roba, ma io non sono in grado di capire se c'è il detect della scheda audio e quale è il problema!!!Ancora grazie a tutti brutalmente, bastava lanciare dmesg |less e poi dare /audio per andare diritti alle righe utili. Con un po' più di esperienza sapresti che gli isapnp-tools sono gli strumenti usati da Linux (con la x finale, Linus è il tizio che l'ha inventato) per riconoscere e configurare le schede pnp. Con una scheda simile mi è sempre bastato il giochetto di disabilitare l'opzione pnp del bios. I modi sono due: - apri il BIOS (tenendo premuto il tasto canc all'accensione del PC) e disabiliti l'opzione 'sistemi operativi che supportano pnp' - con il centro di controllo kde vai nella sessione avvio, configurazione di lilo, e aggiungi nobiospnp tra le opzioni. Equivalente alla seconda, apri il file /etc/lilo.conf e modifichi tutte le righe del tipo append=qualcosa in append=qualcosa nobiospnp esci dal file e lanci il comando lilo. Ovviamente, devi farlo come root. ciao, Andrea

[newbie-it] problema scheda video su acer aspire
Salve, ho da poco acquistato un acer aspire 1310 su quale ho installato la mandrake 9.1...Funziona tutto alla perfezione tranne il fatto ke applicazioni tipo tux racer o anche gli screen saver scattano. Da quanto ho capito su internet i driver nn supportano l'accellerazione hardware. E' così??? La scheda è una savage pro ddr 32 mb di memoria condivisa... ciao

Quello che ti ho detto di fare non richiede una particolare interfaccia grafica. Puoi fare tutto da un qualsiasi terminale o, addirittura, da console!

[newbie] mail test rant
So my ISP has decided to reject all mails originating from dynamically assigned IP blocks, which my computer is on. So, I can't send mail to my ISP-provided account from my box unless I use their smtp server. This is problemlatic since my family also uses this ISP and I can't send them mail using my preferred agent, Mutt. I've also been noticing that messages I send to newbie aren't appearing in my Mandrake folder--so perhaps even though sympa-mandrake redistributes the message, my ISP still sees that I sent it and rejects it? This is really annoying. Instead of telling people, Hey bozos, secure your machines, don't use M$ etc. the ISP's are punishing all the good people as well. This does not bode well for future Internet freedom. Is there some sort of mail relay (like a dynamic dns) I could use that would let my mail get through? (AOL also blocks mail from dynamic IPs, I believe.) I'd even be willing to pay a reasonable fee for such a service. Todd -- Impeach Bush NOW! Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Ext 3 Filesystem

I have a redhat box as a fileserver I was just wondering something about the EXT3 filesystem (or maybe them all in general). After a power outage, the machine started up with the following error ### Start Message ### I got this message with my Mandrake 9.0 and 9.1 systems. And I seemed to have damage at every reboot. I even went so far as to buy another drive. Then when that choked, I realized it must be EXT3 acting up. I went to ReiserFS and have not had a problem in many months of running.

Re: [newbie] Port scanning

So, despite the network administer dont want to tell me which outgoing ports are unblocked, i want to discover it, by scan, or by any other way. But the scan services we find on the internet always scan incoming ports. Can anyone give me a light on how use that? BTW, anyone know how where to find a step-by-step guide on configuring ssh? I'm a newbie, so, i didnt figure out how to configure it. thanx all!!! I cannot help with the port scanning, but ssh is real easy to use. Just install the ssh-server RPM and the server will start up all by itself. By default it will allow access from anyone who knows a valid username/password To connect to it from another Linux computer install the ssh-client RPM and then enter ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] in a terminal. To connect from a Windows computer try Putty http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ You can configure ssh to become very secure indeed. Instructions are on www.mandrakesecure.net Unfortunately the site is down for maintenance at present. This guide will show you how to restrict access to users who hold a valid encryption key.

Keshav It should run a bit faster that way also. From what I understand when ever there is a CD reading from or writing to a HDD on the same IDE channel it is to much data going back and forth on the same cable and the data being exchanged from 1 drive to another will have to be temperarly stored before being sent back to the other drive. By using drives on 2 separate IDE channels it is more of a smooth constant flow with a small but noticeable increase in speed. Marc Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
