Al riavvio, dopo il checkfs di routine, la macchina si avvia, ma non carica il display manager (gdm) entrato come root in una consolle, ed eseguito un nuovo riavvio tutto ha ripreso a funzionare, fino ad ora. aperto un terminale e lanciato un man mi sono accorto che mancava una parte dell'installazione del pacchetto groff (in particolare mancavano alcuni eseguibili...). A questo ho rimediato facilmente, una disinstallazione e reinstallazione hanno risolto il problema, ma mi ha fatto sorgere il dubbio che anche altri programmi possano aver subito la stessa sorte. Da qui il quesito del giorno, è possibile lanciare un check su tutto il sistema per verificare che tutti i pacchetti che risultano installati siano effettivamente al loro posto con tutti i file? Da quando uso ext3 di simili problemi non me ne erano capitati, ma possono accadere? Esistono fs più sicuri? Nicola Non ho mai sentito nulla di simile, ma so che alcuni amministratori usano ReiserFS dicendo che è + sicuro... Altri dicono che è anche + veloce Mandi Ikki Ext3 mi ha fregato anche a me: ogni volta che gli lasci riparare i danni te li fa lui (comunque è onesto perchè te lo dice in anticipo). Appena posso lo rifrullo via dal hard disk e ci metto o ReiserFS (mai dato problemi) o XFS o addirittura (se non mi sono rimbambito credo che esista e di averlo pure messo da qualche parte) JFS.

Ciao a tutti. Come spiego nell'oggetto, sto buttando il sangue... Dunque, ieri ho scaricato i benedetti driver nvidia per la mia geforce 400 MX. Tutto bene, tranne per il fatto che voleva una versione di XFree almeno 4.0, mentre il avevo la 3.vattelapesca che esce con la distro di Mandrake 9.1 Mi vado a scaricare tutti i pacchetti della 4.30 da xfree86.org, verificando come chiedono loro il tipo di sistema da me usato e scaricando dalla dir ftp corrispondente, installo partendo in modalità testuale l'XFree86, da root, e da qui in poi sono iniziati i problemi. Prima mi freezava completamente la schermata grafica di boot, poi, dopo aver messo il driver vesa nel file di configurazione, mi dava la schermata grafica di boot ma mi bloccava la tastiera dopo due o tre caratteri della password inserita. Ora sono arrivato al punto che mi fa inserire correttamente la password, ma quando clicco su login mi da schermo nero, e poi mi carica di nuovo la schermata di boot... Sono nel buio più totale, chi mi dà qualche suggerimento su dove andare a sbattere la testa, oltre che nel muro? Nevermind dall'account sotto Win$

Re: [newbie-it] Fwd: Re: Plugger
Incredibile, allora hanno aggiornato il file di configurazione, ma il programma non riconosce più la sintassi; roba da matti. Comunque il plugger è una bella idea, ma non funziona poi così bene, anche io ho qualche problema. In effetti per gli audio la cosa migliore sarebbe fargli chiamare programmi senza interfaccia grafica, che si limitano a suonare senza interferire con la finestra. Però per gli wav non ne ho trovati lì per lì (ammetto di non essermi dato da fare, sono sicuro che basterebbe un'occhiata in internet), per cui ho usato il noatun in questo modo exits swallow(noatun): noatun $file Così in realtà rimane aperto, ma la finestra non si vede, solo un piccolo cartiglio che avvisa quando il suono viene avviato e quando viene interrotto.

[newbie-it] 9.2: dove sono i sorgenti?
Ciao a tutti, essendo membro del mandrakeclub ho scaricato la mdk 9.2. Ho installato tutto, carino, funziona. Quando mi sono messo a compilare i drivers della scheda Nvidia mi sono accorto che sui tre cd della download edition non c'è il pacchetto dei sorgenti del kernel:( Sui forum del club ho trovato un po' di gente inca***ta. Sembra che i sorgenti siano sul terzo cd della versione riservata al download per chi è almeno membro silver del club. Oppure te li scarichi dal sito (40mb). A parte il fatto che i cd li ho scaricati in facoltà e a casa ho un modem a 56k, quello che mi fa girare le ... è che qualcuno forse si è scordato che per essere free software bisognerebbe mettere i sorgenti. In compenso ci sono 5 o 6 kernel per il smp , ottimizzati per essere usati in bagno etc. Io a mandrake ci sono affezionato, mi sono iscritto al club per supportarli, ma quando fanno così mi farebbero venire voglia di mandarli a quel paese. Possibile che su tre cd non ci sia stata la possibilità di levare qualche ca e mettere i sorgenti?? Scusate lo sfogo, ma mi piacerebbe sapere che ne pensate. Quasi quasi scrivo a ziobudda...

In the last 4 days, I have had none, no false positives, and no false negatives. At all. I haven't made any configuration changes. In my opinion, the jump from 2.55 to 2.6 is worlds better and very much worth doing the upgrade. Just figured I would mention it for anyone else on the list that runs SA. I love spamassassin, with the exception of it's slowness. Tried getting the source file and it says I don't have perl installed. Which perl. Or which version? Anyway, I could not rebuild the src so I will wait. This 9.2 seems to have some issues I will have to sort out. I did a clean install but saved /home and mostly it works well. Sometimes urpmi seems to choke. Could be the mirrors I suppose. When I upgraded to 9.2 I also changed from using the perl based 'spamassassin' to the spamc/spamd combination which is daemonised and written in C. It seems to be considerably faster. To use it all you have to do is run the 'spamassassin' service and then in procmail/kmail or whatever just call 'spamc' instead of 'spamassassin' I'll be interested in trying version 2.6, but being lazy I shall probably wait until RPMs appear on Cooker. derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I've had the old version running for a week or so (thanks to you, Derek, and Bjorn). It has been pretty effective, catching about 9 out of 10 spam messages (and it seems to be getting better as the days go on). I don't have nearly enough spam that was missed to run a learn on. Did you upgrade via rpm or via tarball? How many dependencies needed satisfying? I'm asking because I'm on dial up, and depends can be a significant amount of downloading. I upgraded via tarball by using Checkinstall which builds an RPM from source and then installs it. I still have the RPM but others have reported dependency problems when trying to use the ones that Checkinstall builds on my system since I have installed Texstar's upgrades, so my system is not entirely vanilla Mandrake. Compiling was a snap on my system, I don't think that 2.6 is using anything that 2.55 didn't also use.

Re: [newbie] urpmi question
Try urpmi -q packagename.rpm where packagename is the name of the rpm your looking for From: Eric Huff [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2003/10/17 Fri PM 11:07:26 EDT To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] urpmi question How can i search the names of rpms, and show the summary and description? If i urpmf, it appears to search more. For example: urpmf man page says the --summary switch searches summaries, but the urpmf help says: --summary - print tag summary: summary. which i thought meant it would print the sumary. What i'd like is a command line version of what rpmdrake does: once i get it open, it very nicely shows only packages with nmh in the name (for example) and i can quickly see the description and summary. It also, on the same page, shows the current version i have installed, if any. Is there a line (or lines) for urpm* that i can use?

[newbie] MSN Messenger + Linux clients
Anne was asking recently about having trouble using her kopote IM client with MSN. Since Oct 15th Microsoft have changed the protocol for MSN which has locked out 3rd party clients. I had read reports that Gaim 0.71 would still work with MSN, and the latest version of the Jabber transport for MSN is also supposed to work with MSN. However I could not get Gaim0.71 to log onto MSN, and Psi when using the MSN Jabber transport would report remote server error I think I may have found the solution :- I discovered that if I logged onto MSN using the Microsoft IM client, then afterwards I could log on with Gaim and Psi as well.

Were there any important fixes between that and the final release? Sir Robin 1.1RC5 was renamed as 1.1.0 and released a couple of weeks ago. According to the OOo users and discuss lists which I monitor, there were some fairly important fixes between RC4 and RC5, including improved loading speed. I'm using OO 1.1.0 on Linux and Windows very happily and am trying hard to get my users to adopt it. It seems faster and more stable than 1.0, but it is quite different from M$ Office, so there's a learning curve. The great thing is that it is absolutely agnostic about operating systems; docs or presentations created on Windows work just as well on Linux and vice-versa. I hadn't noticed any problem with fonts on MDK but then, I'm not into that stuff. It's trivially easy to download 1.1.0 from OpenOffice.org and install it in MDK, so it doesn't really matter what version comes with 9.2. You just unzip it in /tmp and run ./install -net, and then run ./install as every user. It's a 70 MB download though They seem to have mirrors almost everywhere. If you're an academic you can get the Sun equivalent StarOffice 7.0 for the cost of the media or as a free download. This has some non-GPL extras like the Adabase database. Others pay US$75.00, I think. BTW, cheapbytes is already shipping MDK 9.2 on CD-R for US$6.99. They also have OOo 1.1.0 for the same price, for the download averse.

Re: [newbie] Changing keyboard layout within the CLI
On Mon, Oct 20, 2003 at 11:11:22PM +0200, H.J.Bathoorn wrote: I did some pre-hunting;) There's a file /etc/sysconfig/keyboard that gets read by /etc/init.d/keytable and sets the keytable. This does need to be done in su/root status, though! So make a bash script (which you link to a key event or give a very short name that makes sense to you) that writes to /etc/sysconfig/keyboard and then initializes with service keyboard restart. Good luck, HarM HarM: After some hunting I came to loadkeys. As a normal user, now I can easily switch the keyboard layout to spanish with loadkeys es and back to us-english with loadkeys us. After some googling and rtfm-ing I don't know what to do to bind/link hotkeys to scripts or aliases in .bashrc. I would love to have something like ctrl-alt-u to switch to us-english and ctrl-alt-e to switch to spanish. Reading about inputrc I got sort of lost. Could you point me in the right direction to achieve this? What I want to do is to switch keyborad layount from within mutt. I feel we are pretty close to the solution.

Re: [newbie] urpmi question
Try urpmi -q packagename.rpm where packagename is the name of the rpm your looking for Cool. I got some help on expert, and will post a twiki when i get the chance. thanks for the tip. I have been forgetting about rmp and only using urpm too often... eric From: Eric Huff [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2003/10/17 Fri PM 11:07:26 EDT To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] urpmi question How can i search the names of rpms, and show the summary and description? If i urpmf, it appears to search more. For example: urpmf man page says the --summary switch searches summaries, but the urpmf help says: --summary - print tag summary: summary. which i thought meant it would print the sumary. What i'd like is a command line version of what rpmdrake does: once i get it open, it very nicely shows only packages with nmh in the name (for example) and i can quickly see the description and summary. It also, on the same page, shows the current version i have installed, if any. Is there a line (or lines) for urpm* that i can use? -- Mandrake HowTo's More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] kopete upgrade
As I cannot find a specific Mandrake upgrade for Kopete (so that I can use the MSN plugin post October 15) I tried to compile from source.
