Salve a tutti,
sapete darmi il nome di una stampante a colori, che non mi dia problemi

ciao a tutti,
io ho provato nel tempo 3 canon (adesso una S500) e mi hanno funzionato

Tra l'altro la S500 quando la presi era appena uscita e la MDK gia' la

[newbie-it] Configurazione scheda TV

perche altrimenti il monitor rimaneva completamente nero.
Quindi non so che fare !?!

Io ho una ATI WONDER 128 PRO 32MB, con cui posso acquisire video analogici,
riversarli su VHS e guardare la TV. La mia domanda è: posso fare lo stesso
con Mandrake? E se si, qualcuno sà darmi una mano a configurare il tutto? 

Grazie
In questo caso devi procurarti i driver giusti per la tua scheda, ovviamente 
se sono stati sviluppati (o dalla casa produttrice o dalla comunità). Le 
funzioni che chiedi sono, infatti, legate strettamente all'hardware in 
oggetto. Vedi se trovi qualcosa sul sito dalla ATI.

se è un hsf ti passo i sorgenti dei beta

il mio è un HCF, qualcuno ce li ha quelli beta?

Poi ne approfitto e posto qualche domanda:

1. Mi sono iscritto a questa ML anche con un altro indirizzo che uso solo con linux, ma a quanto pare lì non mi arriva nulla;

2. Non riesco a configurare il programma per masterizzare che esce con Mandrake 9.1, non mi ricordo il nome, cmq gli faccio fare tutta la procedura automatica, mi individua correttamente il lettore di DVD ed il Masterizzatore ma poi per il DVD mi dice che non può scrivere le istruzioni di mount per farlo vedere al programma, quindi non riesco a fare le copie al volo;

3. Ho una fotocamera Creative Webcam go plus, che può fare anche da webcam... dove trovo i driver per configurarla?


Grazie a tutti, aspetto fiducioso!

Ti giro una risposta che mi è arrivata per il problema Postnuke...
Vedi se ti può essere utile.

 PHP warning Unknown() . Unable to load dynamic library 
 '/usr/lib/php/extensions/mysql.so' - libmysqlclient.so.10: Cannot open 
shared 
 object file: No such file or directory on line 0

Non so se riesco a darti la dritta giusta. Il problema potrebbe essre:

- - file /etc/php.ini (o simile) ha una riga tipo /percorso/assoluto/mysql.so 
commentata ed è da scommentare
- - c'è da installare una libreria mysql che manca. Probabilmente chiedendo la 
lista dei pacchetti installabili della tua distro non ancora inseriti puoi 
vedere quale mysql non c'è ancora (non so che distro usi, ma con MDK, RH, DEB 
e SLACK questo si può fare).

Sperando di essere stato d'aiuto, saluti.

[newbie-it] Finalmente sono riuscito ad iscrivermi! Domanda su masterizzazione

2003-10-11 Per discussione Nevermind
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?

Non so se te l'ho già detto, ma hai controllato sul manuale del monitor le 
frequenze (orizzontali e verticali) con cui può funzionare?
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.
Ciao
Sandro

non ricordo.ma mi pare che k3b facesse tutto da solocmq fare le cose a 
manina è sempre meglio.

tanto per inizziare:
-controlla come vengo identificati i dispositivi in /etc/fstab.

-dai da console #cdrecord -scanbus (vedi come ti vengo rilevati ora i 
dispositivi)

-devi mettere come append in lilo/grub il dispositico in emulazione scsi...
in lilo devi edidare /etc/lilo.conf ed inserire dove leggi 
append=hdd=ide-scsi
anche hdc=ide-scsi ( con uno spazzio,e all interno delle  )

-rebootta

-poi da console dai # cdrecord -scanbus
che dovrebbe darti l'esatto rilevamento dei due dispositivi emulati in 
scsi; a questo punto attenzione, perchè il lettore potrebbe aver preso 
possesso di scd0(che prima era assegnato al cd-r), controlla, quindi vai in 
/etc/fstab e verifica.

-aggiusta il tutto (in fstab),dando scd0 al cd e scd1 al cd-r (oppure second 
quello che ti dice cdrecord)

-se hai icone o script,aggiusta anche quelli.

mi pare nn ci sia altro
ok ora puoi fare la prima copia al volo :)

[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

[newbie-it] Icone sul desktop

2003-10-11 Per discussione Nevermind
Ed eccoci alla nuova domanda...

Ora che sono riuscito a fare in modo che K3b mi vedesse sia il dvd che il 
masterizzatore, mi sono scomparse dal desktop di kde le due icone di DVD e 
masterizzatore e mi è apparsa una che si chiama: Disco rigido (cd) non 
montato.

Come faccio a ripristinare le icone dei due device? e soprattutto, c'è modo 
per rinominare le icone? Ad esempio, quella del floppy si chiama: Dischetto 
montato su /mnt/floppy... e se io volessi fare in modo che si chiami 
semplicemente Floppy?

[newbie-it] Avvio di Linux

2003-10-11 Per discussione Nevermind
Lo so che faccio domande che possono sembrare stupide, ma per me che mi 
avvicino ora a Linux non lo sono...

Dunque, appena installato linux mi apriva, dopo aver fatto il boot, una 
finestra con i nomi degli utenti e la possibilità di selezionare con quale 
utente partire.
Ora invece mi esce, sempre in modalità grafica, un riquadro che mi chiede di 
immettere il nome utente. 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.

Come mai? Ho fatto io qualcosa per cui è modificata la cosa o no?

Hi Ed,
thanks for your reply.

weird - I just tried it again, and immediately I got:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] merlin]# urpmi dia
everything already installed
[EMAIL PROTECTED] merlin]#

yet I can't find it in the start menu or on the desktop.
Trying to start it from within the terminal gets this:

I wonder, would it have installed itself somewhere else, and maybe I

SNIP


 Thanks again for the information, Derek.
 it brings up a couple of interesting points:
 first, I only have two CDs; I got them with APC magazine in Australia.

 Anyway, you're right I looked in Konquerer and dia-0.90 *is* on CD2 - so
 this brings up the next puzzle: Why didn't find find it? 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.

 So, the next step:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] merlin]# urpmi.addmedia --distrib cdrom
 removable:///mnt/cdrom
 using different removable device [/dev/scd0] for Installation CD 1
 (x86) (cdrom1)
 using different removable device [/dev/scd0] for Installation CD 2
 (x86) (cdrom2)
 copying hdlists file...
 ...copying done
 medium Installation CD 1 (x86) (cdrom1) already exists
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] merlin]#

 yet, rpmdrake still doesn't acknowledge that dia exists. 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.

Palladium or Trusted Computing is not going to be all that scary in and of 
itself.  Both Intel and AMD have announced that they will support it, with 
MS's current marketshare, they could hardly do otherwise, but both have also 
said that you would be able to shut it off.  Again, the whole point from an 
MS point of view is to force the user to make a choice, either MS approved 
only products, or everything else.

I had this problem once when the sensors were mis-reading the core temperature

 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. Things that get loaded into the kernal
 during its boot phase enter into the realm of FM, and i don't pretend to
 understand this fully (read/var/log/dmesg to see what happens then).

[newbie] Shelf...

2003-10-11 Per discussione Paul
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.

[newbie] Procmail mangling my email headers, rendering Netscape Mail/Kmail useless.

2003-10-11 Per discussione Mark
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.  An old header
is shown below:

Re: [newbie] Lightwave 3D / 3d artwork / Blender

2003-10-11 Per discussione Anarky
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.

so I told him I'd try it out. Like him, I can access the main page, but 
clicking something like the DSL link immediately crashes Mozilla and Galeon 
hard. Konqueror works fine. This is with the stock versions under Mandrake 
version 9.1 - anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Re: [newbie] getting rid of ads on the web

 in linux what can i do?  sides stopping popups, i got used to
 surfing w/out those damn annoying ads right in my face.

I have a hosts file that redirects a huge number of known ad sites
to 0.0.0.0

They just show up as blank squares (usually) and don't waste any
bandwidth...

I haven't updated it in awhile, but it blocks most ads i would run
across.

http://www.smartin-designs.com/ has links to a bunch of hosts files.

I used to get that.  I replaced the fan on my CPU and found that it doesn't do it 
anymore.  Try cleaning your cpu fan or replacing it.  The alarm (kinda sounds like a  
british police siren... h-loow-h-lowww) usually means a CPU 
overheating.
