Nel menù File c'è salva come e lì puoi decidere dove salvare. A monte, però, ti da la possibilità di scegliere tu una qualsiasi directory di default. e ho trovato qualche difficoltà nella visualizzazione di e-mail in html, e sopratutto nell'aprire eventuali link all'interno delle e-mail (sia esse per www oppure per mailto) per le poche mail in html che vale la pena di aprire Sylpheed, intelligentemente, utilizza un qualsiasi browser tu abbia (clicca su allegati- testo html-apri con) e da lì tutto funziona perfettamente. Atrimenti di resta il classico copia-incolla. Considera comunque che è un progetto in sviluppo, con rilasci più o meno settimanali di aggiornamenti per entrambe le piattaforme.

[newbie-it] isdn
Ciao a tutti, ho installato Mandrake sul PC di mia sorella (che è risultata entusiasta del passaggio *completo* da Windows a Linux). Finora, sta andando tutto bene (passaggio di files, installazione e configurazione di periferiche), ad eccezione dello scanner (ma questo è un altro discorso, credo comunque risolvibile). Lei si connette ad internet con un modem ISDN ASUS interno, perfettamente riconosciuto, configurato e funzionante. Per eseguire la connessione, però, deve passare dal Mandrake Control Center: un giro un po' lungo. Mi chiedevo allora se non sia possibile usare qualche altro programmino, in stile KPPP, per connettersi con una procedura un po' più rapida. Come sempre, grazie delle risposte!

[newbie-it] java
Secondo quesito della giornata... Sul mio PC ho installato Mandrake 9 PowerPack. Tra i pacchetti installati c'è anche il Java 2 RunTime Environment 1.3.1 di Sun. Ho indicato a Konqueror il percorso dell'eseguibile java (che in realtà è un link simbolico ad uno script). Però molte applet java in rete non si aprono (soprattutto quelle relative a menù scritti in java)... voi che versione di java usate con la Mdk 9? E funziona tutto regolarmente? GRAZIE!!

Prova a rimetterceli. Non credo che sia un problema di monitor; se li avevi installati in questo file ci sono delle incongruenze: Section Module [..] Load glx # 3D layer ^^ Questa riga ... Section Device [..] Driver nv ^^ ... e questa, non vanno d'accordo con il resto. O installi (ricompilandoli) i driver proprietari NVidia (e sistemi il file come dicono le istruzioni relative) oppure lasci quelli tradizionali di XFree86, lasciando le righe che appaiono nell'XF86Config-4 iniziale, ma evitando di caricare glx (per il quale servono le librerie Mesa, in assenza di meglio): in ogni caso _non_ vanno mescolate le configurazioni. Con l'aggiornamento alla 9 i pacchetti xfree86* hanno sovrascritto anche il file di configurazione. La prossima volta cmq, prima di aggiornare, fai una copia dei file di configurazione importanti modificati. P.S. Il grosso problema e' che quando si sono installati i driver proprietari e relative estensioni GLX e' praticamente impossibile tornare indietro ai driver di xfree. -- GNU/Linux Slackware 9.0beta1 ** LU #210970 LM #98222 SU #12583 Qui si trovano i nomi delle imprese che si oppongono all'adozione del software libero nelle pubbliche amministrazioni, usando a pretesto la liberta' di scelta: http://www.softwarechoice.org/about_steering.asp

Uhmm, il fatto e' che se non modifichi quel file che ho scritto (togliendo quelle famose righe) poi ricompilando il modulo (o meglio i moduli, dato che AFAIK e' molto difficile compilare un modulo solo ;)), il sistema ti vede _solo_ la stampante e non lo scanner (non parlo di farlo funzionare, parlo proprio di farlo vedere!!).

Io l'ho provata a 300 e funziona bene. AFAIK dovrebbe arrivare almeno alle medesime prestazioni di una C60 o C62; oltretutto i filtri di stampa gimp-print hanno un'ottima resa. Le scansioni le fa estremamente bene; sul formato non so (senza opzioni particolari il file che xsane produce se non ricordo male e' un .pnm); cmq poi potra' essere convertito. Ps: com'è il costo cartuccia nero/copie? A me sembrano delle cartucce talmente minuscole :P Ognuna costa 35 EUR+IVA. Con la prima avro' stampato circa un 600 pagine (ma bisogna considerare anche che la testina assorbe un bel po' inchiostro all'inizio, quindi la prima non fa testo). Il lato negativo e' che ogni cartuccia monta quella vaccata di chip intellidge che monitora il livello di inchiostro, e quindi, a meno di utilizzare un complesso e tutt'altro che immediato procedimento di crack ;), non e' possibile utilizzare con successo refill e cartucce rigenerate (ignoro se le compatibili siano utilizzabili o meno).

After installing and a run through man hdparm i used it to display current
settings. Looks like DMA is enabled and UDMA2 is set (see below). My
experimenting with the speed setting hdparm -E8 /dev/hdb did not alter the
initial CD recognition phase at all. Still having to eject then remount the
disk a random number of times before it is recognised. Once recognised it
will read anything from the disk as long as the drive motor spins.
My next question is where too from here? If i turn off DMA (it can be done in
BIOS) do i also have to set the UDMA setting to something else? Any other
suggestions short of a replacement drive? Any and all help accepted if i
havent allienated all those that tried last week.
To show that i haven't been totally sitting on my tod on this task.

Re: [newbie] grip
First of all, I would like to thank you for all the time you spend to help me. Then the libghttp1-devel was required in order to rebuilt the rpm. Therefore, I installed all gnome libs and the window-manager. Then, the reinstallation of the rpm seemed to be successfull. But the problem remains. It's strange. It's a shame, but as cddb is now working, it could be worse ... John Richard Smith wrote: Is this a gnome desktop you are working on, because mine is full kde, with xWindows and the lot. I am also surprized you needed additional libraries, but then maybe, I ought not to be, it occures to me that I have the full OS including many developement packages, though not all , and maybe I have some dependency library installed already that you require to make the help file be meaningfull. I must say all these dependency problems in linux are tiresome, if they are needed , why not include them in the main download , saves time and trouble. There has got to be some reason why you don't get the helpfile, and I and others do. The difference must be either the choice of OS interface or some package or other that you have missing. Check out http://www.nostatic.org/grip/ I see mention of something called libghttp that sounds like a possible library help file try putting up package manager and doing a search to see if you have it. if not download and install it and see what it does. A search of my OS reveals a certain libghttp1-devel V1.0.9-4mdk. I'm guessing but I would not be supprised if you don't have it installed, and it has to be on our CD's somewhere for me to have it installed. In short , the problem now seems either to be the interface, which I would not rule out , since manuals, at least good ones,John are a judicious balance between words and pictures , maybe your desktop interface lacks something, but first off we need to find out if you have every possible app package installed. Unfortuneatly linux is a bit of a headache for newbies as far as dependencies go. we do not understand the relationships very well, and the way things are put together it can offten be baffelling try to find out.

Then install the new OpenGL screensavers RPM by following this link http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=2540lang=en To use it I wrote a script called ~/.xscreenstart.sh containing the lines #!/bin/sh xscreensaver -nosplash Then make the script executable. Now just insert that script into the startup sequence of your Window Manager. For KDE you can do that by right clicking on the desktop and CreateNewLinktoApplication in the pop up window give the link a name, and in the execute tab enter sh ~/.xscreenstart.sh You can now use konqueror to drag and drop this link into the hidden directory ~/.kde/Autostart You must also disable the KDE screen saver :) You can configure/test the screensavers with xscreensaver-demo typed in a user terminal. derek (Notes for newbies:- ~ is your home directory== /home/username/ Files prefixed with '.' are hidden Use ViewShowhiddenfiles in konqueror to see them.

[newbie] internet sharing help needed
Hi all, Well back from the dead once again after another fresh install following a lost battle trying to get a firewall installed and working, damn that shorewall! Machine is running mdk 9.0. So here is my question... How do I manually configure my main machine to share it's modem connection to the other 5 machines on my LAN? This is my /etc/sysconfig/network file: NETWORKING=yes FORWARD_IPV4=true HOSTNAME=linux1.local.net DOMAINNAME=local.net GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 GATEWAYDEV=ppp0 The other machines are all using the 192.168.0.xxx range and all point to 192.168.0.1 as the gateway they should be using. I do NOT want to use the control centre because it demands installing shorewall, which has been the biggest problem of all here causing no end of trouble with blocked ports, breaking samba and ftp. I simple hate it and the documentation isn't simple enough for me to understand how to write iptables rules yet to achieve a fully secure machine. Hope some of you will take the time to offer some advice on this. regards magnet Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

There are multiple ghosted images, fading out to nothing after about the 4th occurence, attached to the right horizontal side of any screen image, window edge, widgets, text, and the mouse pointer.

[newbie] sending mail through my server
I want to send mail through my email Mandrake server. It is working fine getting mail from my provider and I can get it from my server, but I must always go through my provider to send. I have a notebook and would like to be able to send from anywhere I am at, so I would like to be able to access this service from outside my house. I am up 24/7 on a cable modem, so I will need to prevent anyone else from using my server as a spam source. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. thanks, Jordan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] Missing sda
My initial install of 9.0 was pretty near perfect, and supermount worked flawlessly. Shame I had to mess it up. The problems started when I tried to get my smartcardreader working. The upshot was that sda disappeared totally. I have tried running HardDrake but it just doesn't seem to see the LS120 drive, which was at install identified correctly and mounted as none /mnt/LS120 supermount dev=/dev/sda1,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 Has anyone any idea how I can get the system to find this device again?

There are multiple ghosted images, fading out to nothing after about the 4th occurence, attached to the right horizontal side of any screen image, window edge, widgets, text, and the mouse pointer. Does anyone have a clue what might be causing this? It has happened on all versions of the nvidia drivers and all versions of mandrake I have used since installing this card. Apart from this niggle, these cards are the puppie's privates 8-)) regards magnet (ok... who nicked my sig?) Have you double checked your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file for any aberrations in the context of options under the nvidia device? Also, did you comment out the GLCore and dri options? -- Tue Dec 3 07:10:00 EST 2002 .o0 linux user:267497 0o. |____ | kühn media australia | / \ /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kühn | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |/ ._/ || | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |'. `\ | | |icq: 5483808 | ;/ / | | | | smk ) /_/| |.---.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU Coralament*Best Grötens*Liebe Grüße*Best Regards*Elkorajn Salutojn It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration. -- Edsger W.

I wonder what it does and what is going wrong, Anyone on lit got any ideas, Please don't hesitate, John John Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wouter, I've been googling on the net with modules.dep seems like it's a vital file, that lists module dependencies of modules run at boot time, without one you will not get a boot. There appears to be an association between modules.dep and depmod + modprobe commands man modprobe : high level handling of loadable modules. man depmod : handles dependency descriptors for loadable kernel modules So the question is why has the installer not created a modules.dep for you , but how did you get onto this,what was the sequence of events.

Re: [newbie] Min spec
Just a comment here,...I'm using the 800Mhz board in a slimline case as a print, DNS, and samba (for the printers)server and it's rock solid. Loaded that sucker up with RAM (PC133 ram is sooo cheap now), and I'm very happy with the results. It's handling 3 HP4050TN printers with JetDirect Cards without a single burp. Didn't use the secondary kernel though, just the standard 2.4.xxx one. Thanks for the info, but until it screws up badly, I'll leave it as is. -- Lanman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
