Re: [newbie-it] conversione formati video
Rispondo dopo qualche giorno di tentativi e sofferenza... Ho scaricato più versioni di avidemux, tutte da compilare, comprese quelle in pacchetto rpm. Scompatti l'rpm e ti trovi una cartella da compilare, roba da matti. In ogni modo l'ho compilato, legge molto bene i file, ma se provo a salvarli in un formato mpeg qualunque mi dice che è stato compilato senza le opzioni per la conversione... il documento readme allegato è sempre vuoto, coma cavolo si fa a inventarsi le opzioni? Boh? In ogni modo niente da fare. L'mplayer non sono proprio riuscito a scaricarlo, non riesco a connettermi al server. Comincio a sentire il peso della sfiga che mi sovrasta. Poi ho trovato il transcode, funziona a riga di comando e comincia funzionare; ci sono molti parametri da sistemare, ma spero di risolvere con quello. In ogni modo grazie, e se qualcuno ha dritte ulteriori sono ben accette.

[newbie-it] consiglio per un'installazione
Ciao a tutti, ho passato un pomeriggio allucinante assemblando un computer e installando la nostra cara mdk per un amico che ho convinto a passare a linux. A parte il programma di installazione della 9.1 che si è piantato alla fine come al solito (ma a questo ho fatto l'abitudine...), ho avuto gravi problemi con l'XFree. Il fatto è che abbiamo provato a riutilizzare una scheda video ormai obsoleta, che però sotto cacca98 funzionava, per quanto approssimativamente. E' possibile che sia questa la causa del fatto che gli ambienti grafici minori come window maker, ice wm, enlightenment funzionano, mentre kde non ce la fa a partire? A parte questa scheda (una Virge di cui non sono riuscito a capire il modello, e sulla cui RAM neanche XFdrake era sicuro), per il resto sono pezzi nuovi e validi: processore Athlon 2200, 256 M di ram. Che cos'altro può causare un problema simile?

# You can name this environment variable anything you like
# (for example PROCMAILDIR) or, if you prefer, don't set it
# (but then don't refer to it!)
PMDIR=~/procmail
# LOGFILE should be specified ASAP so everything below it is logged
# Put ## before LOGFILE if you want no logging (not recommended)
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/pmlog
# To insert a blank line between each message's log entry,
# uncomment next two lines (this is helpful for debugging)

# Replace $HOME/Msgs with your mailbox directory
# Mutt and elm use $HOME/Mail
# Pine uses $HOME/mail
# Netscape Messenger uses $HOME/nsmail
# Some NNTP clients, such as slrn nn, use $HOME/News
# Mailboxes in maildir format are often put in $HOME/Maildir

what I was never clear on is the MAILDIR. Is that to tell procmail where
to look at new mail to process it? I've obviously assumed so, from what
I've put there...but then in the nkvir-rc, it refers to MAILDIR being
~/mail. Should I have two entries in there?
BTW, why does that kuhn-rc kill half your spam in one shot?

Re: [newbie] installing x86 update
It's very simple. Once you added yourself the urpmi updates media with Easy Urpmi (http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/urpmiweb.php) you open up your console, su to root and execute : # urpmi.update updates urpmi --auto-select --update This will update the contents of the updates media (not necessary to run after adding the media. Run it only when you want to update the packages from that media) The next command is the ' urpmi --auto-select --update' means that it will be executed only if the first one will success ( - execute if success) and run urpmi , auto select all the updated packages (--auto-select) that needed to be installed (from the list of currently installed rpms on your machine) and use only the 'updates' media (--update). Note that kernel will not be installed in this way of running urpmi. Only when running urpmi kernel --update it will install the kernel binaries. This is generally the way to update the current running Mandrake of yours. So there are XFree packages available from the updates media - execute that command and it will update everything including the XFree.

Once you added yourself the urpmi updates media with Easy Urpmi (http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/urpmiweb.php) you open up your console, su to root and execute : # urpmi.update updates urpmi --auto-select --update This will update the contents of the updates media (not necessary to run after adding the media. Run it only when you want to update the packages from that media) The next command is the ' urpmi --auto-select --update' means that it will be executed only if the first one will success ( - execute if success) and run urpmi , auto select all the updated packages (--auto-select) that needed to be installed (from the list of currently installed rpms on your machine) and use only the 'updates' media (--update). Note that kernel will not be installed in this way of running urpmi. Only when running urpmi kernel --update it will install the kernel binaries.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK the -devel packages are only needed if you want to make/write/develop software compatibel to these packages. BTW I'm still happily using 4.3-19mdk and ditto libxfree86-devel versions, where 19 is actually the mandrake version number not the XFree.

[newbie] Is there a way to configure for verbose shutdown?
OK, newbieness is coming out. I've been getting used to MDK9.1 and my first venture into Linux. I've run into a technical question. I've installed on my laptop, and I close it down at the end of the day (hey, I'm not going for uptime stats here, just usage). When I choose to shut the system down, the screen goes blank, and I get nothing further. Is there a way (or should I be seeing it by default) to configure MDK to list textually its shutdown process so I know when all volumes have been safely unmounted, and I can hit the power button? Obviously, I'm used to the friendly winders you may now safely shut off your computer. Please don't hold winders familiarity against me!

Once you added yourself the urpmi updates media with Easy Urpmi (http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/urpmiweb.php) you open up your console, su to root and execute : # urpmi.update updates urpmi --auto-select --update This will update the contents of the updates media (not necessary to run after adding the media. Run it only when you want to update the packages from that media) The next command is the ' urpmi --auto-select --update' means that it will be executed only if the first one will success ( - execute if success) and run urpmi , auto select all the updated packages (--auto-select) that needed to be installed (from the list of currently installed rpms on your machine) and use only the 'updates' media (--update). Note that kernel will not be installed in this way of running urpmi. Only when running urpmi kernel --update it will install the kernel binaries. This is generally the way to update the current running Mandrake of yours.
