  1. KPPP

    in Networking

    Hi!

     

    KPPP configuration is simple. I have only to provide your ISP telephone number. Moreover I do not provide DNS address, KPPP finds them by it self...

  6. NTFS support

    in Software

    Posted

    Hi!

     

    By default a NTFS partition can be read. On my computer I have Win Xp Pro and I read the data on it without any problem...

     

    About writing, the description of the kernel module to write onto a NTFS partition says:

     

    WARNING: Do not use this option unless you are actively developing NTFS as it is currently guaranteed to be broken and you may lose all your data!

     

    So, I think one should avoid writing on a NTFS partition. Moreover, I read in the developers site for NTFS support that the module works (more or less) with Windows NT since there are variouse versions of this file system (all not properly documented :oops).

     

    Bye :D

    Mmm... If your program is installed but you don't have the installation CDs, then you have (probably, I'm not sure) to use the existing Windows partition and not the fake_windows...

     

    I have also Windows XP (Pro), but I did not tried that way. Using an existing Windows partition might dangerous (winesetup told me). But... what filesystem do you have on Windows? NTFS? If so and if you did not compile your kernel with NTFS write support (it is off by default) then Linux can't write to the Windows partition... So there will be no problems (no data loss I mean).

     

    Gook luck! Bye!

  13. Wine and MSoffice 2000 / Lotus Notes

    in Virtual Machines and Emulators

    Hi!

     

    I use Mandrake 9.2 with a RPM downloaded from the site of Wine (www.winehq.com). Previously I tried to use the RPM coming from the installation CDs but none worked... :angry:

     

    To set up wine you should run (after installing the RPM from the Wine site), the command 

    winesetup

     

    It is safe to create a fake_windows installation so that you can install your programs without touching your Windows installation (if you have one). Also I found that there are some problems opening something like the licence agreement of Acrobat Reader so that the installation is OK but you can't run the program... Anyway this problem is fixed if you create (with winesetup) a wine desktop instead of managed or unmanaged windows...

     

    I did not tried to use MS Office under wine. But some other programs work fine! :thumbs:

     

    Bye!

    I can't build an RPM for lame-3.93.1 using the file lame.spec coming with the tar.bz2.

%changelog

* Sat May 11 2002 Yosi Markovich <yosim@bigfoot.com>
- Fixes to the spec file that include:
- Making sure the compiler is gcc version 3.0.1. Lame compiled with a version
 greater than 3.0.1 is broken.
- Optimization flags for i686 will use i686 for march and mcpu, and not
 athlon.
- Fix the dates in this Changelog section.
- Various small fixes merged from Matthias Saou.
- Thanks Fred Maciel <fred-m@crl.hitachi.co.jp> for his useful comments.

- 
* Tue Jan 22 2002 Mark Taylor <mt@mp3dev.org>
- replaced lame.spec.in with Yosi's version.  Merged some stuff from
 the prevous lame.spec.in file, and appended changelog below.

* Tue Jan 22 2002 Yosi Markovich <yosim@bigfoot.com>
- Rewrote lame.spec.in to create a correct and nice spec file.
 imho, this spec file is not good for anyone who wants to build
 daily cvs snapshots. Closes bug #495975

* Tue Dec 11 2001 Yosi Markovich <yosim@bigfoot.com>
- Shamelessly stole Matthias Saou's excellent spec file to create daily
 CVS snapshots of Lame. Other than that, nothing is new.

* Tue Oct 23 2001 Matthias Saou <matthias.saou@est.une.marmotte.net>
- Fixed the %pre and %post that should have been %post and %postun, silly me!
- Removed -malign-double (it's evil, Yosi told me and I tested, brrr;-)).
- Now build with gcc3, VBR encoding gets a hell of a boost, impressive!
 I recommend you now use "lame --r3mix", it's the best.
- Tried to re-enable vorbis, but it's a no-go.

* Thu Jul 26 2001 Matthias Saou <matthias.saou@est.une.marmotte.net>
- Build with kgcc to have VBR working.

* Wed Jul 25 2001 Matthias Saou <matthias.saou@est.une.marmotte.net>
- Update to 3.89beta : Must be built with a non-patched version of nasm
 to work!

* Mon May  7 2001 Matthias Saou <matthias.saou@est.une.marmotte.net>
- Rebuilt for Red Hat 7.1.
- Disabled the vorbis support since it fails to build with it.
- Added a big optimisation section, thanks to Yosi Markovich
 <senna@camelot.com> for this and other pointers.

* Sun Feb 11 2001 Matthias Saou <matthias.saou@est.une.marmotte.net>
- Split the package, there is now a -devel

* Thu Nov 26 2000 Matthias Saou <matthias.saou@est.une.marmotte.net>
- Initial RPM release for RedHat 7.0 from scratch

* Wed Nov 21 2000 Eric Lassauge <lassauge@mail.dotcom.fr>
- Updated and corrected RPM to 3.89beta.
- Added french translations

* Sat Aug 04 2000 Markus Linnala «maage@cs.tut.fi»
- Build and include docs and libs correctly
- Build extra programs

* Tue Aug 01 2000 Stuart Young «cefiar1@optushome.com.au»
- Updated RPM to 3.85beta.
- Modified spec file (merged George and Keitaro's specs)
- Added reasonable info to the specs to reflect the maintainer
- Renamed lame.spec (plain spec is bad, mmkay?).

* Fri Jun 30 2000 Keitaro Yosimura «ramsy@linux.or.jp»
- Updated RPM to 3.84alpha.
- Better attempt at an RPM, independant of 3.83 release.
- (This is all surmise as there was no changelog).

* Thu May 30 2000 Georges Seguin «crow@planete.net» 
- First RPM build around 3.83beta

  17. Laptop Ethernet (sometimes on, sometimes not)

    in Networking

    Posted

    Hi!

     

    I tried my advice today. I use mdk92 and it worked! The only thing is that you must be root... if you don't want to change some permissions on some device files...

     

    Another way should be to reduce the time the client waits for the answer of the DHCP server... For example, if one can tell to wait only 20 seconds instead of 120, it should be great... At the moment I don't know how to do... and if it is possible...

     

    Bye!

  18. Laptop Ethernet (sometimes on, sometimes not)

    in Networking

    Posted

    Hi!

     

    Do you use DHCP only?

     

    Set your network with Mandrake Control Center. Choose "expert mode". You should find an option named, "start on boot". Do not use this option.

     

    After the boot run as root 

    ifup eth0

    and your ethernet device should be up! To stop the network use

    ifdown eth0

     

    I'm telling you to run these commands as root. Try also as user, but I'm not sure it will work!

     

     

    Let me know!

  22. new to linex

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted

    If you still experience problems, try this way.

     

    When the CD starts and you see the initial splash, press ESC. Then type

    linux init 5

    to have a graphical system,

    linux init 3

    to have a text-only system.

     

     

    Are you running Mandrake Move on a laptop? One of my friends had a problem of kernel panic with a (new) laptop and Mandrake (9.2).

     

     

    Probably the right thing to do is the following.

     

    When the CD starts and you see the initial splash, press ESC. Then type

    linux noapic

    At the worst

    linux init 5 noapic

    or

    linux noapic init 3

     

    Let we know!

  23. playing DVDs mplayer can't open VMG info

    in Software

    Posted

    I am sorry! I cannot play DVDs... :(

     

    The only thing I can do is to mount the disc as an iso9660 filesystem, the look into the video_ts folder for files .vob, then play it with mplayer, xine or whatsoever...

     

    In this way I can see the film, but no menus, language selection, subtitles are allowed...

     

     

    In a previous post I asked all the people the following question: what region is set you dvdrom? I know this can violate privacy... I don't know if that would be useful...

     

    I was planning to recompile the software, mplayer, libdvdcss and so on... Just to try, but now I am quite pessimist...

     

    :sad: :cry:
