[newbie-it] Finalmente sono riuscito ad iscrivermi! Domanda su masterizzazione
Evviva! Ce l'ho fatta! Sono riuscito ad iscrivermi con questo indirizzo alla ML! Ora, veniamo al punto, così con Linux avviato mi esprimo meglio e con più dettagli. Il programma di Masterizzazione di cui parlo è: K3B Nel passo 2 di 6 mi dice: Per i prgrammi mi trova il CDRDAO, il CDRECORD, il MKISOFS; non mi trova EMOVIX, TCCAT, TCDECODE, TCEXTRACT, TCPROBE, TCSCAN, TRANSCODE, VCDXBUILD, VCDXGEN Nel passo 3 di 6 mi identifica il lettore DVD con i seguenti parametri: dispostivo /DEV/IDE7HOST0/BUS1/TARGETA/LUN0/CD Il Masterizzatore è identificato come: /DEV/SCSI/HOST0/BUS0/TARGET0/LUN0/CD (0,0,0) con interfaccia SCSI generica anche se è IDE Nel passo 4 di 6 mi dice che vuole montare il masterizzatore come /MNT/CDRECORDER ed il lettore di DVD come /MNT/CDROM La spunta vicino a Permetti a K3b Setup di creare le voci fstab c'è Nel passo 5 di 6 mi indica l'utente K3b nevermind, che è lo stesso nome dell'utente di login e come gruppo di scrittura CD il gruppo cdwriter; le spunte sui due permetti di K3b Setup ci sono entrambe. Va tutto a buon fine se ho almeno un disco nel DVD ed uno nel masterizzatore, ma poi quando lancio in K3b il comando Copia disco non mi permette di selezionare come sorgente il lettore DVD. Come devo fare?

Se le trovi basta che vai in: /etc/X11/XF86Config4 che è il file di configurazione di X e sostituisci i valori giusti nella sezione Section Monitor. Ad esempio, questa è la mia: Section Monitor Identifier monitor1 VendorName Plug'n Play ModelName ADI ProVista E55 HorizSync 30-69 VertRefresh 50-120 I valori vanno messi dove vedi HoizSync e VertRefresh. Non prendere ad esempio i miei che potrebbero, ovviamente, non andare bene. Oppure puoi metterli direttamente in fase di installazione decidendo di configurare manualmente il sistema grafico, quando te lo chiede. L'importante è che riesci a trovare da qualche parte questi valori.

[newbie-it] Rippare video DVD con K3b
Salute a tutti, sto cercando di rippare video DVD con K3b 0.9. Clicco sul mio drive Dvd attivo che è SAMSUNG - DVD-DVDROM SD-616F a questo punto mi compare gia un messagio di errore URL maldefinito. Il programma continua da solo e mi da il contenuto del DVD con i vari file titolo del DVD da rippare clicco su uno col tasto destro faccio copia e mi si apre la finestra estrazione del DVD clicco su Avvio estrazione e mi compare un'altro messaggio di errore K3b non puo montare . Per piacere esegui le Impostazioni di K3b. Il mio problema è questo perchè mi da questo errore anche perchè con questa versione appunto la 0.9 è scomparso il setup di root ed è rimasto solo il setup da locale. Sbaglio qualche passaggio o devo configurare ancora qualcosa? grazie

Inoltre, prima, alla chiusura, mi chideva se volevo cambiare utente, riavviare o spegnere, ora invece mi dà solo la possibilità di terminare la sessione, e quindi se voglio spegnere il pc devo prima farlo terminare, e poi nella finestra in cui mi chiede il nome utente, in basso, trovo un pulsante e cliccandoci sopra mi dà la possibilitàò di spegnere il PC o riavviare.

I just tried it again with the same result - I clicked the K button, what to do, then find files. Then typed dia [without quotes, of course] in the named box, and browsed to /mnt/cdrom. Find then returns 0 files found. Curious... btw the only reason I didn't go ahead and double click on it in Konquerer right then was because it's ver0.90, and I've downloaded 0.91. If I don't have any luck with getting 0.91 working then this will be the fallback.

Strange... Now we are getting to the root of your problem. Since you installed your system you have changed your CD-ROM to scsi, without having updated your urpmi sources. Hence the messages about using a different device. Now the reason you cannot find dia in the software list is because it is already installed. (as you mentioned in your mail to Bryan) If you look in the *un*install GUI you will find it. You were unable to start dia from the terminal because you used the wrong command. You entered 'dia-0.90' when the command to start dia is just 'dia'. Now as for dia not being in your menu. I have checked the dia RPM and it puts a menu entry in OfficeGraphs If it is not there run menudrake as your user and make sure your MenuStyle is set to 'System Menu' exit menudrake then in a user terminal enter update-menus That will remake your menus for you. derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I would appreciate some input here please. Maybe some example? Thanks Johan Late post, sorry. The system loads the kernal and all its modules then runs init using the info it finds in /etc/inittab. This file is text and mostly human readable. As with most config files comment lines start with #. Once the system has read which mode (0 to 6) it is meant to start into then it goes to the relevant folder and reads each file in numeric order. - Thus if it is starting in graphics mode (5), it looks into /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/ and runs these files in order. Each is a shell script and mainly they each run further scripts found in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ Pay particular attention to the last one in the directory. /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99local Read this one if you wish to add to the startup. Also note that /etc/rc5.d/ is a link to /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/ (windows refugees read shortcut) and /etc/init.d/ is a link to /etc/rc.d/init.d/. These are not there for your convenience really but for backwards compatability. All taken together they equate to autoexec.bat and win.ini but allow more flexibility. You could if you wish have several new rcX.d directories which allow you to start / stop / restart in different modes. You only need to append the new ones to /etc/inittab in the apropriate place, create (or copy) the rc7.d directory and edit. To switch from one mode to another type init X with X being the mode you wish to switch too. The more useful ones are 0 = shutdown 1 = single user startup 3 = command line startup 5 = normal graphics startup 6 = reboot Most of the tricks performed by webmin and other config GUI tools rewrite these startup scripts. Also in a terminal type:- man man man init man dmesg Purists will probably have a far more thorough explanation but these are the main startup script files.

[newbie] Shelf...
Hi everyone. I just now was extremely glad to have a proper backup. With a filemanager called FR (File Roller), I checked out a strange directory in $HOME called 'shelf'. I don't know where that dir came from. But following that dir down, it got to $HOME/shelf/Programs/$HOME. In the programs there was my entire home dir, which I could follow down AGAIN. On going up the foldertree, coming from 'shelf' back into $HOME, $HOME turned out to be empty. Does anyone have such a 'shelf' directory? Does anyone know where it came from? I updated my backup strategy to skip 'shelf'... Just a friendly warning that you do not fall into the same strange black hole I did. Paul -- A lot of money is tainted.

[newbie] Procmail mangling my email headers, rendering Netscape Mail/Kmail useless.
Help! I just don't understand what is going on with my mail system. Let me explain. I have two users on my mail server, who access mail remotely, via IMAP I have been reconfiguring my mail lately, to begin incorporating filtering and virus detection. First I need to get the fetchmail/procmail system working correctly. I am doing the following: User mark, has a .fetchmailrc file in /home/mark, which is as follows: poll mail.voyager.net proto pop3 user xxx pass xxx is mark here nokeep mda '/usr/bin/procmail' This downloads the mail fine, prior to the incorporation of procmail, delivering mail to /var/spool/mail/mark which oddly enough, showed up under Inbox or inbox on my email programs. Still don't understand how it can rename files and such. I am using mbox format, which is a series of text files, one for each folder in the Email program. Procmail, which I just began to setup a couple days ago, which uses the /home/mark/.procmailrc file, which is below: # .procmailrc # routes incoming mail to appropriate mailboxes # This line tells procmail where to look for other programs # it may need to function PATH=/usr/bin;/usr/local/bin # This line tells the location of your mailboxes. $HOME stand for # the users home directory. MAILDIR=$HOME/mail # all mailboxes are in mail/ # Not sure what this does but it's optional DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox # This line tells where to put the logfile LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/log/procmail # This line defines the shell for procmail to run commands in SHELL=/bin/sh VERBOSE=yes # now for the formulas in the following format # :0 [flags] [:[lock-file]] # zero or more conditions # one action line # Put mail from MythTv mailing list in mailbox myth #:0: #* ^(From|Cc|To).*mythtv-users #$MAILDIR/mythtv # Lastly, add all remaining to default box :0: $DEFAULT I have the procmail filtering shut off, just to get this working. Procmail delivers the email to the /home/mark/mail/inbox file, but the Netscape and Kmail email MUA's do not show that mail has arrived, and in most instances will not read the file correctly. In the event I move the inbox file to a new file such has oldinbox, Netscape will read the new file, but without delineating the messages, it shows up as ONE big email with a subject of /home/mark/mail/oldinbox The headers of the mbox file appear to be changed by procmail.

Re: [newbie] Lightwave 3D / 3d artwork / Blender
John Richard Smith wrote: modelling, animation, texturing, workflow rendering. Could you kindly define for this rank newbie 3d modeler, what each of the 5 subject headings mean. okie :P Modelling, I guess making a 3d outline. well ... this is about making the shape of things ... say you want to make a dog ... there's ways and ways of approaching it ... you might start of a cube, extrude (you can think of it as stretching the cube) until you get where you want, or work with curved surfaces ... that you define ... or starting from points which you move around ... in short .. various techniques of modelling. blender is pretty well rounded .. but many people still use Wings3d as it's meant ONLY for modelling, and it's quite strong in the modelling (haven't used it too much to be able to say much) Animation, speaks for itself. yep, kinda ... but this also can be done in many ways ... in more basic ways (keyframes) .. and in more advanced ways (mixing different actions in the animation mixer). Blender is kewl here. Also it can use animation to make modelling stuff .. which is really cool (eg. you have a stair .. that you animate as moving in a spiral .. than you materialize it along the way .. and taaadaa .. you've got a spiral stairway) Texturing , I suppose this is about colouring in the 3d outline ? it's about putting picures on pollygons ... say you make a wall ... now that you're done with modelling it .. you might put a picture of bricks along it .. and you've got a brick wall ;-) Workflow, ? this is about how fast you can work ... how easy it is to go to bigger bigger projects ... basically productivity ... this is a very stroing point of Blender ... it's soo strong that it's quite scary for the beginners (full of shortucts, tricks workarounds that are awesome for the swimmer .. but scary for the first timer who's getting his toes wet (not to mention the at first strange look buttons stuff) ) rendering , ? well ... this is about how good your stuff comes out ... it's like ... you can make an awful model stuff but still have it look quite good ... for example you might make just a couple of cubes scatter them around ... and put in a light somewhere ... this boring thing might at some point with a good rendering look quite great if you make one of the cubes reflective, another trasparent .. and the others cast interesting shadows on their siblings ... like I said ... this atm isn't Blender's strongest point ... but you can still get great results ... and there ARE ways to get awesome results (tricks exports) ... and also real hopes (I hear starting from 2.30 (now it's 2.28) things will become even easier and more standard to export render ... and even in 2.29 I understand there'll be serious improovements in the area) greets, hope this helped.
