Re: [newbie] Re: Re: Mozilla fonts
Why do not you consider installing the xft version of mozilla? http://www.scottbolander.com/mozilla-xft.html Will check that site. Btw, does it mean that mozilla.org versions of Mozilla suffer from some problems related to that matter - just wonder? I do not know. Initially, when I installed Mozilla by the first time, the fonts looked ugly and someone on Mozilla forums suggested me to install the xft version of Mozilla. I looked for it in the Internet and I found the site above mentioned. Xft version of Mozilla looks beautiful on my computer, in general, but it looks even better if I import MS Windows truetype fonts.

It might have something to do with the compiler version.
I run mdk 9.1. Have a look at the first warning my compiler
gives. In your compiler version it migth be more than deprecated, it might
have been removd. Try having it all on one line? Perhaps not practical
in a real world situation, but there is perhaps som new switch to gcc?

Re: [newbie] Re: Re: Copying Files from CDROM
I've started downloading the linux 2.4.24 kernel in tar.bz2 format. I hope this is the right one. I see the latest stable one is 2.6.3. I went into the Linux Programme installer and found a number of files described as the Linux Kernel. I installed them, but suddenly my whole Linux installation is messed up. Sound driver does not work, file systems arn't mounting. It seems I'm going to have to re-install the whole business. I'll first try to install everything and specifically select these kernel files. If that does not work, I'll just do a default installation. Tomorrow I'm going to borrow a friend's external Mercer USB modem. If it works, I might considder saving up to buy my own. Question: how do I edit the Makefile file in my modem driver directory. I see there is a reference to the linux-kernel there, and in stead of typing $ make KERNEL_ path to root I could possibly put that path directly into the Makefile. I really thank you for your help on this akward problem. Any wisdom will do, and I am definitely learnign a lot. When I finally get it right, I will make sure that I help other people to do it as well.

Dei giochi sudici ( SE DI QUESTO SI TRATTA) non mi interessa. C'e' gia' Microsoft. Ciao a tutti e grazie per le vostre opinioni Premesso che non voglio fare il difensore altrui, non credo che l'esclusione dei sorgenti del kernel dalla distribuzione appena rilasciata sia stata una mossa volontaria (o, come dici tu, un gioco sudicio). La storia passata e recente di MandrakeSoft mi sembra che giochi decisamente a favore della società francese che, finora, si è sempre dimostrata molto corretta nell'applicazione delle regole derivanti dall'adesione ad un modello di sviluppo (economico e del software) fedele ai concetti di open source e di free software. Certamente, però, è stata una scelta poco ponderata ed infelice, un passo nella direzione sbagliata: va bene cercare di puntare a conquistare l'utenza desktop rendendo la distro accessibile ed utilizzabile anche da chi, pur stanco dei bug di M$, non abbia tempo, voglia o preparazione per configurare a mano ogni singola cosa. Ma escludere i sorgenti del kernel è un passo che va troppo nella direzione del temibile *utonto* in perfetto stile Windows. Quindi ben venga la protesta, per consentire a MandrakeSoft di correggere i propri errori, o quanto meno di non ripeterli in futuro. Ma non dimentichiamo che non basta questo a rendere improvvisamente un'ottima società del mondo GNU/Linux una sorta di novella M$oft. Ciao... Daniele

Re: [newbie-it] Re: installazione e reinstallazione
Mandrake 9.1 è anche in italiano, ma da quello che vedo hai installato utilizzando diversi hardisk. Penso che la migliore cosa sia utilizzare un solo hardisk per il sistema e farlo partizionare in automatico ed intervenire manualmente solo sulle dimensioni. Se non si hanno esigenze particolari, modificare solo home riducendola magari per aggiungere un'altra partizione compatibile con windows. Gli altri hardisk li puoi usare per memorizzare dati o installarvi un altro sistema operativo ad esempoio windows.

I have an AVI movie split in two disks (600Mb each). I would like to re-encode it to fit in a single 600Mb disk. Any hints on the tools I should use? i heard from mencoder, but i didnt use it yet. my fav is virtualdub, but it runs with windows... :/ you can run it with wine, its no problem. but first of all you have to install a divx codec and mp3 codec or somethin' with wine on a windows-fake. there are lots of tutorials out there, if you dont fin some, tell me ;) remo Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

On GNOME select start logout. Now it goes to where different user may logon This if you installed more than one user otherwise you will be there only. Now here is 3 options 1..select other user (NO option for ROOT) 2.. REBOOT - if selected it MAY have a dropdown list to select way of rebooting. Why I say may - sometimes the dropdown list is empty - if empty then select HALT. 3 .HALT If above is all hash - then use* alt - cntrl -del * this will - if it works reboot.

Re: [newbie-it] Re: Rete Linux-Amiga e condivisione della connessione
Ordunque, ho trovato un ftp server (in verità ce ne sono parecchi), quello che ho scaricato si chiama ftp4all. L'ho mandato in esecuzione, e ho provato a lavorare da shell, ma il risultato è sempre quello, cioè da Amiga riesco ad entrare e visualizzare su linux, mentre se provo a fare la stessa cosa, mi dice: connection refused dunque cerchiamo di capirci se da bash su linux scrivi ftp ip della macchina amiga di connection refused mentre se fai da shell amiga ftp ip della macchina linux (o operazione simile)ti connette normalmente. Se e' cosi il problema e' sicuramente la configurazione del server ftp di Amiga. Prova due cose : da console linux ftp ip della macchina linux e vedi se funziona poi prova da amiga ftp ip della macchina amiga e vedi se funziona se la seconda non funziona allora sicuramente e' giu' il server ftp amiga nel qual caso devi leggere bene il file di configurazione amiga (l'autenticazione sicuramente e' da configurare a mano) Nell'altro caso o se vanno tutti e due potrebbe essere il firewall shorewall.

Scusate se mi intrometto con un pò di ritardo ma volevo dire che arts non è una specie di cancro per i sistemi che usano l'audio ma un sistema molto potente di far girare insieme i molti programmi che richiedono la scheda audio simultaneamente. Il prezzo da pagare è che non è democratico quindi non ti lascia usare direttamente il la scheda. Basta lanciare i programmi preceduti da soundwrapper e questi si sottomettono ad arts senza che l'utente ne abbia a male (anzi...).

Ciao, Germano Io uso arts da anni e non mi ha dato mai nessun tipo di problema: ripeto se viene lanciato occupa lui la scheda sonora, quindi qualunque programma che la voglia utilizzare si deve sottomettere; soundwrapper realizza questo. Non so cosa faccia slackware ma la cosa migliore da fare è vedere come le varie distro lanciano i programmi sonori: ho fatto questo con Mandrake ed è facile verificare che i programmi che non sanno come interagire con soundwrapper (xmms è uno di questi) vengono lanciati con soundwrapper. Lo stesso vale per Galeon ma, ad esempio non vale con Xine (basta dirgli che deve usare arts come server). Spero di essere stato chiaro e semmai ci dovessero essere inesattezze sono ben accette eventuali correzioni. Ciao, Germano

Hi Anne, I am running OpenOffice on a Pentium 450 laptop with 191 RAM without any problems. I don't think the problem is the power of your machine. Good luck!

I have heard (with no proof though) that sometimes this can happen when the system has some faulty memory which gets accessed. If you have 2 or more memory modules, you could try to remove one temporarily and see if that helps. It might come to that, Paul, but I'm reluctant as it doesn't happen in any other app. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Paul This is a repeat of an issue we had in here a few months back with a user that was constantly being knocked back to the KDM/GDM/XDM - and it turned out to be either session settings or screensaver settings - best to look for that prior to mucking around with the physical machine.

Anne It is more likely a problem with your hardware and the kernel's implementation of APIC, which is by no means universal in scope yet. Try booting with linux noapic (esc at the boot screen then type in linux noapic without the quotes and enter. If that solves the problem, add a noapic to the append line of each linux boot in your boot configuration. Civileme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
