[newbie-it] Non riesco a sentire l' audio
Ho installato Mandrake 9.1 (sono un nuovo utente linux) su un PC un po datato e su uno di qualche anno fa. Entrambi funzionano correttamente, ma quando per esempio lancio Xmms e voglio sentire un mp3 l'audio non esce, cioe' il display si muove come se tutto fosse ok, ma l'audio non si sente ed ho notato che nel pannello di controllo di mandrake con c'e' la possibilita' di configurare la scheda audio, come posso fare? Grazie
Re: [newbie-it] Avvio di Linux
Caro Nevermind il problema è molto semplice in quanto è stato riscontrato anche da me. Ho scritto alla Mandrake facendo notare questo problema, i quali hanno riscontrato un baco nella Mandrake 9.1 che verrà corretto nella versione 9.2 (lo puoi leggere sul loro sito nell'area download ftp). Il problema risiede nel tipo di scheda grafica in uso, la mia per esempio è una ATI Radeon 7500. Se per caso la tua scheda grafica è di tipo diverso, ti conviene contattare la Mandrake e far loro presente il tuo problema, in modo che possano fare una correzione nella prossima versione. Per il momento puoi ovviare al problema adottando il sistema che ho usato io, ossia, parti in modalità testo (basta essere in runlevel 3) poi avvia da riga di comando la modalità grafica (comando: startx) quindi entra come utente di tua scelta, così quando vorrai fare logon ti si presenterà la classica finestra di scelta utenza con cui fare il login.

R: R: R: R: [newbie-it] MySQL Problema avvio o installazione
L'ultima della serie è che dopo aver installato la red hat ho spianato di nuovo tutto, perché scaricavo i sorgenti di mysql php e apache e non capivo nulla di dove cavolo li andava a infilare e come, infatti non metteva i file nella directory home, ma in tmp, cambiando il nome ma mantenendo l'estensione tar.gzinoltre non riuscivo ad aprire in alcun modo il file manager in modalità super utente. Allora ho installato di nuovo la mandrake (la 9.0 stavolta); a parte il fatto che non mi funziona la scheda audio (e non ho la più pallida idea di come farlo,, visto che è una sound blaster supportata), adesso riprovo tutte le configurazioni di nuovo. All'amico che lamenta le difficoltà da superare dico che ha ragione, e di windows non ne posso + nemmeno io, però ho l'impressione che per un utente medio basso (come posso essere anche io), che vuole tutte le periferiche e l'hardware supportato (specie quello multimediale), senza tante storie di riconoscimento ecc., linux sia ancora un po' troppo una rottura di palle: mica tutti hanno voglia di stare lì a configurare e riconfigurare a installare e disinstallare...guarda che lo dice uno che di windows non ne può più...per me sono dei mafiosi e basta, quindi..

Ho notato però che modificando /etc/fstab in modo che il masterizzatore sia montato su /mnt/cdwriter (e solo così!) sul desktop compare l'icona del masterizzatore (disco dorato) e la scritta Masterizzatore montato su /mnt/cdwriter. Qualsiasi altro punto di montaggio crea un'icona del tipo Disco rigido montato su... Ho anche creato nella cartella kdedevice due icone per il dvd (montato e smontato), modificando con un editor di testi l'icona del cdrom. Purtroppo non riesco a capire se è possibile far caricare quest'icona in automatico (ho provato montando il dvd su /mnt/dvd e /mnt/dvdrom, ma ottengo sempre disco rigido ...).

[newbie] Disabling BIOS Shadow RAM and Installing MDK 9.1
10/13/03 Hello All, from The Other A few of you may remember I've been trying to get a stable installation of Mandrake 9.1 since May. Thanks to my niece for sending me a Debian distro 3.x with documentation. I may have figured out what was going wrong all this time. The Debian documentation on installing the system was something like 120 pages, of which the 10 or so about setting up before the installation begins was the gem I needed. Explaining that the Linux kernel wants full control of your computer and to disable just about everything the computer was trying to manage led me to the following: Disable ALL Shadow RAM Sure enough, my BIOS was set to shadow some of the video RAM. I disabled that and got a flawless, Gnome desktop only, installation of 9.1. Then I went into Mandrake Control Center and started loading in the other packages I wanted. Here's where it gets a little worrying. On two separate occasions last night I got a frozen system when Logging Out so I could immediately Log back In to see the newly installed programs show up on the menus. When Logging back In, the left half of the CRT screen was black and the right half was scrolling black/white pixels. Powering down the system, restarting, and following the recovery prompts, got me back to a working Bamboo system. Anyone know why the freeze-up?Is my system unstable?I'm still seeing the beginning message during boot-up: BIOS Data Check Unsuccessful. That continues to worry me a bit.

Every human will try to make things work out best for himself, even if that sometimes is at the expense of others. That is just plain old self-interest and survival instinct. And, for better or worse, companies are run by ordinary humans. That is a very measured attitude; however, most (all?) societies consider it in the common good to limit how far individuals or groups can pursue self-interest at the expense of others checks and balances, etc What worries me how MS seems able to ignore with impunity checks that are applied to others. Again, they aren't holding a gun to anyone's head. I don't know of many businesses that don't play the game to win and for the most part, that is what MS is doing. That said, would I want to share technology or entertain becoming a partner given what they have done to many others, probably not, but that is simply buyer beware. Anyone who entertains the notion of working with MS who is not aware of the dangers of doing so would have been the victim of someone else, if not MS. In the final analysis, these are computers, not real life and death stuff, so all of the talk about Evil Empires is just rhetoric. Now, once our basic needs have been met, some of us my pursue our interests with more moderation than others, some may even be altruistic (if only for their own ego purposes) but I would not want to argue that someone wanting to make more money is necessarily evil. No,I don't know that anyone has said that so far. But the means, and the end result of allowing them to pursue it unchecked, may be considered extremely undesirable for society at large. A lot of that depends on your point of view. There are many people who would argue that MS has moved technology forward and the struggles of unifying under a single platform required heavy handed tactics and that the benefits of that unification outweighed the costs. I used to work with a bunch of people who argued that very viewpoint. Again, I am not naive to not recognize the tactics for what they are, but in the great scheme of things, I don't regard MS as being what I would classify as evil with a big E. That doesn't mean that I would not resist someone trying to force me to use a product that is not in my best interest, just that I don't take it personally. Well,of course that's a personal matter.Some people may have had more bruising experiences of this than you, perhaps, and might take it differently. True.

Re: [newbie] Making Mozilla the default browser in KDE
The ln command is for making a link to the file. It is similar to a windows shortcut but much more powerful (you can ln directories, files, etc.). /usr/local/ isn't normally in your path. If you wanted to add it, you could do it in one of two places , /home/your_directory/.bash_profile or /etc/profile. For either one, you would add the line: PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin(or whatever path(s) you want added, separated by colons :) export PATH(if you don't export the path, it won't take effect) The difference between the two places you can change this are that /etc/profile changes it for every user on the system (and requires a reboot before it takes effect). The .bash_profile in your home directory only changes it for your user id. If you want to test that it works, before changing it, issue the above commands in a shell or temrnial window then manually type mozilla and see if it works.

[newbie] filesystem sense
Michael Adams wrote: 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). this might seem quite unrelated .. but I can't feel that I get the logic of these placings yet ... eg ... what does rc.d stand for? how did it ocme to that? Also, maybe you know of some good (==non formal intuitive in my case) introductory doc on why things are aranged the way they are in Linux ... eg. .. de standard directory structure. This is soemthing I got used pretty hard with when coming to Linux ... and even now I don't really get the stuff ... like the sense of why /etc/rc.d ... I mean explanations like /etc is meant for configuration stuff also I'm still quite confused with where I should install stuff ... is it /usr/local ... or is it /usr/share/local ... and so on ...

[newbie] Internet connection problems with 9.1 and Open Office Writer won't start.
Hi Y'all, This weekend I finally convinced friends of mine that a Linux installation on their computer was a good idea and installed 9.1 for them. (First time I'd done this as I'm still using 9.) The actual installation went well but connecting to the internet doesn't work as this particular computer has 2 modems: an internal one possibly a winmodem, possibly just broken, and an external Hayes V90 voicemodem which usually works well with Linux (I know because it used to be mine). When I tried to set up the internet connection in Mandrake Control Centre, there was no response from either modem but harddrake appears only to have detected the internal card (hp56 I think). Would I be right in thinking that creating a symbolic link from /dev/ttyS0 (to which the external Hayes is connected) to /dev/modem would enable the system to find the correct modem and hopefully solve the problem? The other problem was that Open Office Writer wouldn't start - the splash screen came up and the hourglass on the toolbar turned for a bit, but then . nothing. Anybody know what the command would be to start it from the command line so error messages can be seen , or which log might contain info about this? Your views and any suggestions would be appreciated. It's the first time I've managed to convince someone else to run a Linux box and I'd hate to see them turned off the idea because of these basic problems.

Thanks to my niece for sending me a Debian distro 3.x with documentation. I may have figured out what was going wrong all this time. The Debian documentation on installing the system was something like 120 pages, of which the 10 or so about setting up before the installation begins was the gem I needed. Explaining that the Linux kernel wants full control of your computer and to disable just about everything the computer was trying to manage led me to the following: Disable ALL Shadow RAM Sure enough, my BIOS was set to shadow some of the video RAM. I disabled that and got a flawless, Gnome desktop only, installation of 9.1. Then I went into Mandrake Control Center and started loading in the other packages I wanted. Here's where it gets a little worrying. On two separate occasions last night I got a frozen system when Logging Out so I could immediately Log back In to see the newly installed programs show up on the menus. this is wasted effort, the items will show up in the menu really soon anyway, without login and out. When Logging back In, the left half of the CRT screen was black and the right half was scrolling black/white pixels. Powering down the system, restarting, and following the recovery prompts, got me back to a working Bamboo system. Anyone know why the freeze-up?Is my system unstable?I'm still seeing the beginning message during boot-up: BIOS Data Check Unsuccessful. That continues to worry me a bit.

If you have to use one, Paragon Hard Drive Manager works much the same as Partition Magic, has all the same features, IIRC, and has the added benefit of supporting ReiserFS, HPFS, JFS, I think. I know for sure that is supports Reiser. Also, it has an executable that is installable under Linux that provides a lot of features, although not all as in Windows. Supports moving partitions entirely over to alternate drives, resizing partitions (Reiser included), etc. If you have to use a Windows partition manager, I would get that one over Partition Magic. What's wrong with the partitioning tool that comes with the Mandrake installation program? I've used it several times and never lost data.

You could probably do it from Suse to Mandrake too. I just do not know if Suse include the kio_fish plugin for konqueror. kio_fish is a plugin for konqueror whuch uses sftp (secure ftp) to transfer files between the machines.

(First time I'd done this as I'm still using 9.) The actual installation went well but connecting to the internet doesn't work as this particular computer has 2 modems: an internal one possibly a winmodem, possibly just broken, and an external Hayes V90 voicemodem which usually works well with Linux (I know because it used to be mine). When I tried to set up the internet connection in Mandrake Control Centre, there was no response from either modem but harddrake appears only to have detected the internal card (hp56 I think). Would I be right in thinking that creating a symbolic link from /dev/ttyS0 (to which the external Hayes is connected) to /dev/modem would enable the system to find the correct modem and hopefully solve the problem? harddrake doesn't detect my external modem but it works fine. I think the problem is the network setup in MCC is broken in 9.1. Edit the files by hand: /etc/sysconfig/network add the following line: GATEWAYDEV=ppp0 if the following line exists, you can delete that line: GATEWAY=xxx.xxx.x.x Restart the network with: # service network restart The other problem was that Open Office Writer wouldn't start - the splash screen came up and the hourglass on the toolbar turned for a bit, but then . nothing. Anybody know what the command would be to start it from the command line so error messages can be seen , or which log might contain info about this? You can start openoffice from console with: $ /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice I recall having this problem at some stage (long ago) so it will pay to kill any soffice.bin processes that may be running before trying to start openoffice. Your views and any suggestions would be appreciated. It's the first time I've managed to convince someone else to run a Linux box and I'd hate to see them turned off the idea because of these basic problems. Agreed. And good one!, another convert...

Re: [newbie] Help with /mnt/removable (supermount?)

Thanks -- Cheers, Trey If you mounted your camera (which prolly should be removable on Mdk) on /mnt/camera, you'd have to do that as root i.e. make the camera/ directory and mount the device there, thus only read/writable as root. The created entry in /etc/fstab (like I said prolly /mnt/removable/) allows you to mount it as normal user and thus read it as that same user. Next time you reboot or connect the camera, supermount will take over and you even won't have to mount the thingI'm realy talking first time here (and before). Gawd, I hate to think what Femme's going to do with that last sentence;) Good luck, HarM -- Mandrake HowTo's more: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
