unix toolbelt to get the job done.

Re: [newbie] Compiling/Starting application in 8.1

2002-03-25 Per discussione Nathan Pryor

This is a path issue.  cd to the directory where the executable is and try 
./main.  The dot represents your current directory.

 Hi!

 I am trying to create a very small application in Mandrake Linux 8.1,
 compiling isn't the problem at this moment, I can't start the
 application :-(

 This is the source:

 #include stdio.h

 int main(void)
 {
   printf(Hello world!\n);
   return 0;
 }

 then I do: gcc main.c -omain

 This works correct, there is a file created called main (displayed in
 green).

 But when I start it, I get: bash: main: command not found

 A chmod 777 main isn't also working. Do I have (ELF???) library
 problems?

 I noticed that I also can't start any shell script. It works only if I
 start it directly with the sh command.

 Thanks in advance,

 Greets,

 Drosera!

Re: [newbie] For the brazilian fellow looking for comp parts.

2002-03-25 Per discussione Nathan Pryor

I doubt you could go wrong with either board.  I use the Asus A7V133 with 
onboard sound disabled (using an el cheapo ALS4000 PCI sound card which both 
Mandrake 8.1 and 8.2 had no problem detecting!)  The onboard Asus sound 
should give you no worries.

 Hi Femme...you weren't referring to me with this, were you? If so, thanks!
 But I'm American, not Brasilian (though thanks to a 5 year relationship
 with a Portuguese girl, I do know when I'm being henpecked in portuguese
 ;-)).

 At this point, I'm looking at two motherboards - the Soyo Dragon Plus, and
 the Asus A7V266-E/AA. Both the same price, according to Pricewatch, about
 120 clams...at this point, I'm leaning toward the Asus...they are both on
 AMDs XP recommended motherboards, but the Asus is listed as AMD Assured,
 which gives it a slight edge. Anyone with a yea or nay for either board?
 Annoyingly, both have integrated sound. I know, I know...I can turn it off
 in the BIOS...but I just can't help but feel that something physically
 attatched to the board could somehow make my life more difficult than it
 needs to be.

[newbie] problem with Software Manager

2001-12-29 Per discussione Nathan Pryor

Hello.  The Mandrake Software Manager freezes on startup when it attempts to 
refresh the security update source I defined (ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu).  I 
have checked the ftp site and can logon anonymously with no problem.  I did 
not provide a username and password for the security update source thinking 
it would logon anonymously by default.  Is there any way I can delete me 
current settings without running the Software Manager?

-thanks

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 8.0 and DSL here we go again....

2001-05-31 Per discussione Nathan Pryor

I am using Telocity dsl with Mandrake.  Mandrake 8.0 configured the dsl
connection flawlessly during the install.  Telocity uses DHCP to farm out
all network settings which is awesome for Linux.  Automatically assigns IP
address and DNS servers.  Telocity supplies a dsl router that handles the
connection.
rant
It is a shame I have to report that Telocity tech support is nothing short
of a nightmare to deal with.   It took over 6 weeks for my dsl routing to be
configured at my CO.  My ticket was escalated 4 times until I spoke with a
technician who cared enough to call my phone company and get the routing
database updated.  After speaking with her my connection was live in less
than 24 hours.
/rant
By all means get dsl!  It rocks!

regards,
Nathan

 Does anybody using mandrake 8.0 have DSL working?  If so, did you need to
do
 anything special to get it to work?
