thanks adamw, for the info.. I never thought of the word linuxsms. I've installed it now from contrib as what you have said...Iĺl just try to find out what it can really do.. tnx again

hi...

Did anyone here tried chikka sms messenger and able to run under linux without a problem, either via wine, crossover or java browser plugin..??.

at bash prompt, you can fire-up gimp... assuming /home/user/picture.jpg

type $gimp-2.2 picture.jpg

and that will open the picture using gimp 2, or if you already managed to install other grahpics viewer, then you can also try that..

well, you can use the windowz way, I mean gui.. bcoz your inside your desktop manager that is why those applications run under bash$, bcoz those graphical interface are ready to initialize, but if your under init 3, you cant run those applic... same with windows 98, if your inside pure DOS mode, not a dos prompt inside windows, you cannot also run those commands...

try this link

http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/hosted/tmate663LMi.html

yeah, check if alsa really run as a service..open a terminal window, then as a root type

#chkconfig --list alsa ......... then check if 5: on, if not...

#chkconfig --add alsa

then try

#alsaconf --------- the alsa configuration tool

hope that helps B)

I also found this Rpm.  here and was wondering , if I install this Rpm, do I still need the Compiler?

 

Thanks

well, as I noticed, when you install RPMs, via RPM manager or urpmi, it will prompt you to install also those needed packages.as dependencies.. .. rpm.pbone.net is also listed under the easy urpmi page.. as update, so you may try to add it....

try the packages here ftp://ftp.lug.ro/people/mirceac/mdk-Ultraupdates/10.1/

you may add this into your rpm source also. I was able to install 2.5.3 from this source using rpm

have you try this? #alsaconf

try to use this alsa configuration tool, it may help...

try to change your NIC, since you have there extra working PC.. try also to change the cable .... you mention earlier that you cant ping that box, maybe connection problem

try to issue $/sbin/ifconfig

verify if you have your NIC detected and if thereś an IP on it

u may try this... assuming u installed already samba-server using rpm or tar.gz

backup your orig smb.conf file...

as root#mv /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.orig

then create a file smb.conf as root and put it in the same localtion of smb.conf.orig

write the txt below in your smb.conf

[global]

workgroup = whatever

netbios name = test-samba-server or whatever you like to put here

server string = anonymous lan file server

security = share

browsable = yes

host allow = 192.168.1.

[myshare]

path = /sharedfolder

comment = test-only

read only = no

guest ok = yes

then restart samba...

#/etc/init.d/smb restart

gui for samba.. try webmin, its a browserbase tool

and like I said, try to visi www.samba.org

hehe..

well, if u mean u cant upload to ur xp, try to check the shared forlder of your xp, if the user you were using to access it has only read access or read / write access.. also you can try the administrator account when promped to login.. sure it has a full access rights

I have not yet tried NFS, they say its good to use if your boxes are all linux... but if u have a windows in your network, well, you have to use samba server in you linux in order to share and save files from your windowz to your linux box... I think you have tried that already.... maybe you should try visiting www.samba.org.. a lot of info there

also... you can try ssh server of your linux when transfering file, you just need an sftp client software for your windows...

maybe you can try to remove temporarily udev as a service since it is run as a service under linux... #chkconfig --del udev then observe if it helps.. if not, try to use the precompiled 2.6.10 kernel for mandrake or to whatever distro u'r using...

try it again... the download part.. then open a terminal window and as root using su issue the command #tail -f /var/log/messages

so you can follow the event during that time you attempt to download from windows

u mean, u r trying to acces ur wondows file from ur linux box...if so, when a prompt asking user / passwd during that time u tried to access ur winxp, u can use the username and passwd of ur xp.. or the username in ur XP that has a read/write access to that shared file

I've been using Acrobat Reader that I downloaded from adobe website and it seems fine to me.. the documents only goes black when you minimize the window, but generally, I find it ok.... have you tried to install the reader from Adobe.com?

try.................at the command line or shell, login as root then edit the file below..

assuming u know vi,... if not use mc ..

cd /etc/httpd/conf/

prompt#mc

then select httpd2.conf

find those listed below

#BindAddress *

<IfDefine APACHEPROXIED>

Listen 192.168.0.1:80

</IfDefine>

<IfDefine !APACHEPROXIED>

Listen 8001

</IfDefine>

note:// the part.. listen 192.168.0.1:80 tells that your apache2 will listen to your local interface in port 80, well if you want it to be seen publicly, you can replace that IP with your Public IP

... btw, this is assuming u'r using apache2..

you can start and stop apache from your terminal window as root by typing

#apachectl start

#apachectl stop

or

#/etc/init.d/httpd start | restart | stop

/ refers to /root partition where the /usr /var /mnt etc..etc resides, /home of course your linux users home directory, you can specify not to format it so you may not lost your data stored on it during your previous mandy, well, if your XP file system was set to NTFS, i think during the installation , mandrake will recognize it as ntfs, or if its FAT, vfat, so you may leave it as is... mount the / as root partition... well if your format it, all of ur previously installed program will be lost, but no probs, whats the use of urpmi anyway... hope i had you a little help

i think, its better if you will try to use ssh server.. from remote, use sftp client, simple and more secure

try to check the owner of the of the directory where the uploaded file should be place, it should have a write access on it, maybe apache if this is your server should be able to write on that folder...

hi, anyone here have made it succesfully deployed linux as a VoIP gateway? any suggestions about it is very much appreciated... thanks in advance

check if alsa is running, as a service.. if it does not help. try running as root#sndconfig

if sndconfig is nowhere to be found... try to install it from your CD.. hope it helps

maybe u can try to check the logs of your linux to get some idea whats happening

hi to all, this was posted I think very long time ago... since no one tried to figure out how to solve this, aside from spiedra, so I just told myself, nevermind, I?l just share my files to a windowze box and print the file from there.... actually, I was googling and googling but all says that lbp800 canon is a pure win printer... until when I read just this morning the post of Sellis, I wondered, what if I'll try again looking for my printers driver, besides, its been along time, maybe someone has come-up how to solve my printer problem... and so.. Oh my god, I stumbled to this link... http://mywebpages.comcast.net/heretrythis/hp3100/psemu.html

It really solves my problem,... hehe, its really amazing coz, you will see there "March 04".. that? my birth date... hehe, btw... by just following the guide lines... now I can print anything from my Mandy10.1 to the Canon LBP 800 connected to a windows 2000 pc...

whoever creates the Idea... thanks...

I just wondered, how come I never find this before.... maybe, I'm just a lazy googler...

and.. hehe, I've just noticed...This was my first post....

I think its ready for install
