  1. im hurt by that comment, i have a duron800 machine connected to the internet via dialup line that peaks at 380+bps. yes, its missing the letter k. only one telco services our area and their lines suck. :( ciao! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> lol.
  2. permanent link: http://uhaweb.hartford.edu/obennett/html/ discuss amongst youselves. my head hurts, i'm going to bed :(
  3. that sounds like a great idea. I'm reluctant to add any more graphics though. the banner I though up there is pretty heavy as is and it takes about 30 secs to load the whole thing on 28.8k. Not too concerned about that but by extrapolation it seems it'll take at least 15 secs on 56k. I'd like it to be under 10 secs so no more graphics (yet)
  4. oh yeah, the address, (which'll be down the next half hour or so) http://24.193.108.12/~kdetest/
  5. I'm redesigning i-kubed.org (fer craps an' giggles) but i've hit something of a barrier. How it looks currently sucks. The colors aren't working together IMO and if you have any suggestions on what to do about it feel free to post. I'm pretty attached to the white outline out of necessity more than anything else (it hides the fact that I'm using png's when viewed from IE. And I'm attached to the link colors by preference. "Everything else can go!", to paraphrase some game show.
  6. well it seems pointless now, but i know how to get that <?xml thing to work in php turn short tags off (in php.ini) for future reference <?php ?> instead of <? ?>
  7. Browse: [About the FAQ Forum] [Table of Contents] [FAQs] [Contribute] [NT: Networking] NT-06: How-To set up Samba Networking Installing Samba The first thing we need to do is get some wizard action going. As root urpmi drakwizard After all that's done open up Mandrake Control Center mcc then go to Server Wizards -> Configure Samba. Say yes to any questions which get asked till you get to something similar to this screen. Then hit Next and enter a name for your Workgroup. Hit Next two more times and choose an Access level If you selected My rules you will now be given the option to refine which computers are allowed on your network. When at the Enable Samba server step DO NOT check file sharing area. You will not be able to finish the wizard. Continue through the wizard. If you had chosen to share printers, a configuration screen will be available to you. Once this is done, you will need to configure your users. You will need to add your Windows logon id (XP only, I think, the Administrator users will be added by default for Win2k) to the users list. To do this, open a console and su to root. Then type: smbpasswd -a USER where USER is your Windows username. You will be prompted (twice) for a password for this user. Enter one you will remember. You will need it when you access your shares from your Windows PC, at least the first time. Networking :: Linux To use samba between linux computers one needs to be a server (configured above) and the other needs to have smbclient installed. To do this urpmi libsmbclient The computer with only smbclient installed will be able to access samba shares. The computer with smbclient AND the samba server install will be able to both serve and access shares. :: Windows To enable sharing in Windows open up the Control Panel and go to Network Connections. Right Click on your connection and select Properties Make sure that both Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Printer Sharing are checked. Then right click on My Computer and go to Properties Go to the Computer Name tab and click on the Change button. Select a sensible name for your computer And change the workgroup to the same one that made when you configured the samba server. It doesn't have to be the same, but it's neater this way. Configuring Shares Now comes the hard part, and for this we go to the Samba Configuration file. Open up /etc/samba/smb.conf and scroll all the way down to the bottom. Read the comments and select the type of share which you would like. Then modify the examples to fit your specific needs. For example, If I only want the user Illogic-al to be able to access my musiz share I'd change to this illogic-al, of course, needs to be created using smbpassword, as stated above. The /etc/samba/smb.conf has more examples of potential sharing situations which users may want so go check it out. For those longing for a Graphical approach the samba-swat package or webmin package may be for you. Be awars however that after using samba-swat the comments in the smb.conf file will be gone. The comments provide useful information so I recommend backing up or making a copy before editing via SWAT. I'm unfamiliar with webmin and whether or not it too erases the comments. To install SWAT urpmi samba-swat urpmi webmin Security There are varioius security options which are available to samba. Some are commented in the /etc/samba/smb.conf and many others are documented via man or info page. man smb.conf or info smb.conf to access them. Two of these options will be demonstrated. Be very careful however as these options will make more insecure. The first smb.conf we'll look at the security = option. To allow access to certain shares (e.g. read-only public shares) without any logging in, change the option security = user in /etc/samba/smb.conf to security = share On Windows XP accounts are created by default without a password. Other account normally don't have passwords (e.g. the Guest user). If a user is added using smbpasswd samba will expect that user to have a password (even if you entered no password for the user). Therefore if you a a remote user from a Windows computer which has no password they won't be able to log in as samba will keep asking for a password. to disable this security option put null passwords = yes in your /etc/samba/smb.conf file. Enabling Changes After any changes are made to the smb.conf file the samba server needs to be restarted to load them. To do this simply type as root service smb restart Accessing Shares :: Linux There are various which are used to access samba shares. urpmi smb4k is a good start. If you use konqueror or nautilus you can access samba share bye typing smb:/ in the address box. In konqueror it looks a little something like this It is also possible to use command line tools to access samba shares. These tools are available w/ the samba-client package. To install samba-client This package provides smbmount which can't be used to mount shares. Usage of smbmount is left as an exercise for the reader :-) :: Windows You can browse your Samba shares by going through Network Neighborhood. Simply click on it, browse to "Computers in my Workgroup" and you should see your Samba shares. You will be prompted, at least the first time, for your username and password. Alternatively, you can mount them as network drives. Right click on My Computer and go to Map Network Drive. Choose a drive letter, then click on the Browse button. Find your shares as above and mount them to your heart's content. /*************************************************************************** This FAQ has been brought to you by iillogic-al and LiquidZoo Updated By illogic-al Proofread by Steve Scrimshire ***************************************************************************/
  8. Any info on how to get it back would be appreciated. A LOT.
  9. this is officiaaly dead. stuffs come up. there wont be any rpms from me for anyone wondering.
  10. update madrake and all will be fine.
  11. hmm, i'm thinking that's the pagefile that's doing that. you can try temporarily disabling your virtual memory. A little voice in the corner of my mind is telling me that this could be dangerous...
  12. mandrake's install program can resize NTFS disks.
  13. http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/twiki/bin/view/...different_kerne
  14. there is an md5sum program for windows. Just search google for one
  15. you don't need to a forceful shutdown when this happens btw. This post from our FAQ section should helps http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=5144 the ::Terminal Death:: section should prove helpful if this ever happens again. BTW i have the problems described sometimes with the 2.6 kernel. the 2.4 kernel from 9.2 doesn't exhibit these probs.
  16. hope this helps. Ripped right from our FAQ section: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=4960
  17. is this right when you hit the power button? you might have the dvdrw set to Cable select. I always set the jumper (on the back of the drive) to the opposite of the other drive. If there is no other drive then I would set it to be the Master.
  18. i'm guessing wellst is your current user. so if you try to burn as that user it should work. I'm officially stumped. k3b should work after running k3bsetup. i think something wrong with either a) a jumper setting is wrong or B) the cdrom/cdrom wire thingy is messed up :unsure: :wacko:
  19. unfortunately qt 3.3 is now required to build > kde 3.2.3 and I haven't been able to package qt yet. It wont elude me forever but probably not any time soon. I suppose they'll get here when they get here, but look at the bright side. they'll be a bit stabler...
  20. http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/howto/other...river-HOWTO.htm hope that helps
  21. ok now do ll /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd and paste the results of that in here.
  22. huh? sorry. i don't think i got that question
  23. if you have the third cd you would have to add it to urpmi using the name but if you have already added main and contrib sources from the internet there won't be any need. Also if you have already added the third cd entry to urpmi under a different name you can just ignore this warning.
