Guarda, anch'io sono all'uni ed anche qui c'è un un firewall ma wget

Ora, se il tuo amministratore ha messo un firewall che blocchi anche
questo tipo di connessione tanto vale che vi sconnetta dalla rete
perchè meno di questo non so proprio cosa ci possa essere.
Potrei sbagliarmi ma hai provato a connetterti direttamente a quei
siti ad esempio con lftp o qualunque browser? Se quello che penso
riguardo a wget è corretto (e sinceramente non vedo come possa essere
diversamente) e cpon lftp ti sei connesso allora il problema non è nè
di wget nè di curl.
Con mozilla mi connetto ai siti ftp (scarico anche gli aggiornamenti a
volte così).
Per il discorso di wget, sembra quindi che lui non accetti di passare
per il proxy (che è sulla porta 80) e quindi non riesca ad accedere
alla rete; per il resto della rete, gli amministratori hanno cercato di
limitare le possibilità non web. Non ti puoi connettere ad icq o chat
visuali, niente file sharing, ecc. ssh passa, l'ftp sembra di no!
Ora purtroppo non posso provare questi metodi alternativi, lo faccio
stasera e poi ti dico
Per curiosità mi puoi mandare, anche privatamente (anzi...) il tuo
/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg
così vedo un attimo come è fatto?
Lo mando come allegato in lista (dai sono solo 2,5 Kb non me
vogliate...)
Grazie, stasera ti faccio sapere qualcosa!

[newbie-it] cambio scheda di rete
Ciao a tutti! Da un po' di tempo sto lavorando alla creazione di un linux minimale usando direttamente il codice sorgente di tutto l'occorrente. Un mesetto fa ero riuscita a configurare la rete tramite il dhcp e tutto funzionava perfettamente: riuscivo a connettermi e a pingare l'esterno. Il problema e' che ora non riesco piu' a connettermi, e suppongo che il problema sia dovuto al fatto che ho dovuto cambiare la scheda di rete perche' quella vecchia si era rotta. Immagino quindi che questa nuova (nuova nel senso che non e' quella che avevo prima, perche' probabilmente e' vecchiotta anche questa in termini di eta') non sia riconosciuta. Ora, quello che volevo sapere e' cosa dovrei fare per fargliela riconoscere. Devo forse ricompilare il kernel? E' in questa fase che i driver dell'hardware della macchina vengono installati? Oppure devo rilanciare il comando MAKEDEV per creare i devices? Suppongo che la via giusta sia la prima (ricompilare il kernel), ma volevo prima chiedere a voi, che sarete certamente piu' esperti di me... Grazie mille! Chiara
Rif: [newbie-it] cambio scheda di rete
Prova semplicemente a caricare il modulo relativo alla nuova scheda di rete, che se come dici è vecchiotta dovreti trovare tra i moduli della tua distribuzione.
Rif: Re: Rif: [newbie-it] cambio scheda di rete

Eppure io prima non avevo fatto nient'altro... Domanda: Ma che distro stai utilizzando, per avere un kernel monolitico? Non sto usando nessuna distro: ho creato un linux minimale partendo dai codici sorgente di kernel, librerie e programmi vari... Il kernel e' monolitico per varie ragioni, soprattutto per il fatto che e' un linux minimale, quindi le cose sono ben poche e non avevo necessita' di usare i moduli... Difatti il kernel compilato e' meno di 1MB... =) (No, non sono pazza a cimentarmi in queste cose: e' parte del lavoro per la mia tesi di laurea!) Comunque, prima del cambio della scheda tutto funzionava bene, e non avevo usato tool di configurazione o quant'altro per configurare la scheda. Avevo solamente compilato il kernel, creato i device con MAKEDEV, posizionato tutti i file necessari nell'albero delle dir (ho creato a manina tutte le directory del file system), installato lilo e fatto il reboot della macchina facendo partire il kernel creato. Facendo cosi' tutto funzionava. Quindi mi viene da pensare che probabilmente basta davvero che ricompilo... Boh, mi sa che dopo la pausa pranzo ricompilo, cosi' vedo subito se funziona o no...

Tuttavia vorrei sapere se ho fatto bene.

Secondo Maffulli ''si rischia di consegnare l'infrastruttura informatica dell'e-Government ad una terza realta', gettando alle ortiche il lavoro ed i suggerimenti avanzati dalla Commissione Open Source''. L'interoperabilita' ed il dialogo con i sistemi aperti, ''non sono affatto garantiti - afferma il rappresentante del Fsf - anzi, saranno possibili solo con prodotti firmati Microsoft''. Inoltre, conclude Maffulli, chiunque avra' accesso al codice cadra' ''ostaggio del gigante del software, perche' non potra' piu' scrivere il crittografico senza rischiare di essere accusato di utilizzare frammenti del codice''.(ANSA).

Care to let me have copy's of the last 4 - I will pick them up - replace with blank cd's or any reasonable payment..

[newbie] BibleTime 9.1
Hi All, I was going to send this yesterday but my internet connection died. Anyway, I reinstall Mandrake (this time 9.1) and then installed BibleTime. Worked like a charm. Konquerer works great (I can read the fonts). The whole setup seems to be smoother. During setup it didn't even ask me any questions except for my printer (canon - but it works) and my mouse (ok, so it didn't like my MS mouse but it works). However, I have no sound. 9.0 put that in without a hitch. Can anyone tell me where to start? Also, when I install a program as a user, where does it go? and can other users run it? I guess there is no way to have the link automatically show up on the K-menu (and other manager menus)? I asked the first part of the question above because I made a 10gig root partition, 454meg swap and a 40gig home (roughly). After the fact I think I may have cheated myself on the root drive. Should I have made it bigger? I am afraid now that I may run out of space there if all programs I install goes to that drive. The install was so qick and easy I may just redo it and make that drive bigger. Any imput from those who know more than me (which is probably everybody on this list) would be appreciated.

If there is text included from a string (to which the poster is responding), I've most likely already seen it so why would I want to read it again (reading downward). I'm actually after the new text and I'd prefer not to have to scroll down, sometimes a long way, and sometimes only to see something like thanks. If you can read and remember everything that's been said on a list with as much traffic as newbie, your memory is a helluvalot better than mine. I need the sequence to be chronological, old to new, or I just can't follow it. The answer to having to scroll to see thanks has nothing to do with top vs. bottom posting and everything to do with the lost art of pruning. And, since people tend to answer questions throughout the mail, one has to read to the bottom anyway. So, seeing thanks at the top does not mean you can automatically delete it without paging to the bottom. Skimming is apparently becoming a lost art, too. My wife sometimes top-posts when she talks to me. I have to stop her and tell her to back up because I usually have no idea what she's talking about unless she gives me a little context first. Often it goes back to some story I ignored the first time she told me :) so it's especially important she *not* top post.
