Hello:
I have a RedHat 5.2 system with a TX Pro II motherboard. In the
release there are no selections for the TX Pro II video chip. I
tried to use the only SiS selection, but the screen messed up royally.
I have rebuilt the system using the SVGA drivers and a generic
monitor. My question is "What , if any, drivers are there for this and
where would I start to find them?". I will start with redhat first.

Ja! Der läuft auch noch bei mir zu meiner Zufriedenheit.
Das ganze ist mit SuSE ganz einfach. Erstmal nimmst Du Dir einen
netten Texteditor und schmeißt auf beiden Rechnern in der Datei
/etc/printcap alle Zeilen raus, die nicht mit einem '#' in der ersten
Zeile anfangen. Dann kann der YaST von Deinen mißglückten Versuchen
unbeinflußt die richtigen Werte eintragen.
Jetzt nimmst Du den YaST und installierst den lokalen sowie den
Netzwerkdrucker.
Welchen Druckernamen? Du kannst natürlich verschiedene Drucker
benutzen, die Druckernamen verhelfen Dir, zwischen den Druckern zu
unterscheiden. Mit 'lpr -PDruckername' wählst Du dann den Drucker
aus. Das Konzept der Druckernamen ist dahingehend ausgeweitet, das
man sozusagen verschieden virtuelle Drucker auf einem physikalischen
Drucker definiert. apsfilter macht das, und das hast Du sicher
installiert. Verschiedene Drucker sind zB ascii und auto. Wenn Du
einen Drucker haben willst, der nur gerade (und einen der nur
ungerade) Seiten ausdruckt, so ist das prinzipiell auch möglich.
Wenn Du den Schalte `-P' nicht benutzt, wird automatisch `-Plp'
benutzt, also nimm immer `lp' als Druckername, sowohl lokal als auch
remote.
Sobald Du nicht irgendeinen Unsinn in der /etc/printcap (man
printcap!) hast, wird Dir der YaST die richtigen Werte vorschlagen,
die Du nur noch mit Return akzeptieren mußt.
Bleibt noch das Problem wer überhaupt auf Deinen Drucker drucken
darf. Zuständig dafür ist die Datei /etc/hosts.lpd, aber bei meinen
letzten Installationen mußte ich die gar nicht anfassen, allerdings
habe ich sichergestellt das die Namensauflösung korrekt funktionierte.
Du solltest also darauf achten das die beiden Rechner in der
jeweiligen /etc/hosts korrekt und gleich eingetragen sind.
> Und noch eine Frage, wo kann ich genaue Fehlermeldungen abfangen?
Schau mal in /var/log/messages. Daemonen haben das Merkmal, das sie
gar nicht mit einem tty verbunden sind, sie können also keine
Fehlermeldungen auf dem Schirm produzieren. Stattdessen schreiben sie
ihre Fehlermeldungen zB in eine Datei, die bei einem wohlerzogenen
Linux un /var/log liegt. Zumeist wird für solche Fehlermeldungen
jedoch ein eigenenr Daemon benutzt, der syslogd. In /etc/syslogd.conf
steht dessen Konfigurationsdatei. Wenn Du dort zB "*.* /dev/tty10"
hineinschreibst, siehst Du so ziemlich alle Meldungen, wenn Du ALT+F10
drückst. Nach der Änderung der Konfigdatei mit (SuSE spezifisch:)
`/sbin/init.d/syslog reload' oder (so behandelt man Daemonen unter
Unix:) `killall -HUP syslogd' den Syslog Daemon dazu auffordern, seine
Konfigdatei neu einzulesen.

Leider weißt Du noch recht wenig von Usenet. Du crosspostest

Du die Gruppen unter de. benutzen möchtest, ich habe weitere Antworten

unplug serial cable from modem1. plug it into modem2. granted, your

Subject: Etherexpress pro100B full duplex?
Date: Mon, 03 May 1999 12:42:11 -0400
I'm using an Intel EtherExpress Pro 100B on RedHat 5.2.
I'd like to run at 100Mbit full duplex and plug into a Bay Networks
Baystack 350T autosensing switch.
For some reason, the network won't work at all if i plug the machine
into this switch. If i plug it into a 100Mbit or 10Mbit repeater it
works fine at those speeds. (half duplex) I have tried "hot swapping"
the connections and cold booting with each configuration.
Is there a driver setting somewhere for the 100B that will enable full
duplex operation?
thank you,
Tod.

Somehow I doubt that would be any quieter than a standard
case with a fan. Perhaps the original poster could place
his machine in a separate room and use a solid-state
x-terminal to access it? Sounds a lot easier and probably
safer than removing the fans, anyway...

The pre-formatted ZIP disks are FAT16 but you need to access
them as the first logical partition; eg "/dev/sda4" so the
mount statement should be something like "mount -t vfat
/dev/sda4 /mnt/zip"
You can make an ext2 filesystem on a ZIP disk also if you
wish.

Let me guess: it hangs for about 30 seconds and then fails? I
experienced a similar problem with an AMD PCINet/II. The problem
seems to be the "pump" program, which starts up your interface via
dhcp and sets up appropriate routes. Here's an extract from
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup:
if [ -n "$PUMP" ]; then
echo -n "Determining IP information for $DEVICE..."
if /sbin/pump -i $DEVICE ; then
echo " done."
else
echo " failed."
exit 1
fi
else
...use other method to bring up interface...
For me, this hangs for a while and then finally outputs failed. If
you run pump manually, i.e.:
pump eth0
You get something like:
...weird dhcp error message...
Operation failed.
With a non-zero exit code. Very cryptic. Anyway, pump DOES seem to
initialize the device correctly, but it doesn't set up the routes you
need. Here's my hack to get things to work:
if [ -n "$PUMP" ]; then
echo -n "Determining IP information for $DEVICE..."
/sbin/pump -i $DEVICE
ifconfig $DEVICE up
route add default $DEVICE
echo " done."
# if /sbin/pump -i $DEVICE ; then
# echo " done."
# else
# echo " failed."
# exit 1
# fi
else
...use other method to bring up interface...
As you can see, very high tech :) Haven't contacted RedHat about this
yet.
cheers,

The problems that develop on floppies in storage (unreadable sectors)
are not the file system inconsistancy problems that e2fsck detects and
corrects. Unless a bad sector happens to be in the file system metadata
(a rather small fraction of the space on the disk), e2fsck won't detect

To the best of my knowledge there is no limit for the size of a HD.
The maximum size of a single filesystem (what's usually on one partition
although the MD driver allows to span a filesystem across multiple
partitions and drives) depends on the filesystem you are using. For ext2fs
that should be somewhere at about 2 or 4 TB (yep, that's terabyte)
The maximum size of a single file depends on the platform you are using. On
64-bit machines it should be 2 or 4 TB again, on 32-bit architectures it's
currently limited to 2GB.
For more details please consult dejanews.

Is there anyone out there who has the Avatar Shark 250/MB removable
drive working with Linux? If so could you share any knowledge you have
about setting it up with us?
Thanks,
Mike

Don't know, but your mobo should. mine does and so I
don't need to trouble linux!
If you have USB on your mobo and Award BIOS
go into set up and enable on-board USB
then a further option appears to enable USB keyboard support.
then all I need to set up in linux is a 104-key UK layout.
If your mobo won't support USB keyb then
it's not going to be easy to type in
any set-up info!

Yes, that is the normal way to use cdroms. It should also be possible to
have the cd automounted, but for a beginner it is not so easy to set up,
and I think it might bring some disadvantages to.

The same way as you mount an IDE cdrom, but your /dev/cdrom should point
to /dev/sd? instead of /dev/hd?.

The easiest way is to use a program like xcdroast.

Subject: Does Linux work on AMD K6-3 processors?
Date: Mon, 3 May 1999 23:18:04 +0100
I have just upgraded my PC from an AMD K6 233Mhz to an AMD K6-3 400Mhz and,
although Windows 95 runs OK, I have been having problems with the X server
since the upgrade. I have been using Daryll Strauss's Banshee server: it
worked just great with the K6 processor, but wouldn't work with the K6-3.
Not only that, but in attempting to understnd more about the problem, the
machine would hang, necessitating a re-boot without a proper shutdown. This
corrupted various files, so I decided to re-install Red Hat 5.2, which is
the version of Linux I am using.
Now I cannot even re-install Linux. I get as far in the installation as
choosing the packages, and then the install fails with a "Signal 11" error.
Is there a basic incompatibility between AMD K6-3 (and presumably K6-2)
processors and the version of Linux I am using? Am I just unlucky with this
particular chip or my PC setup? Any help and advice would be welcome.
The other hardware is as follows:-
AOpen AX59Pro motherboard with 1Mb cache
192Mb of SDRAM
Processor running at 400Mhz, FSB at 100Mhz and memory at 66Mhz (a feature of
the VIA chipset)
6.5 and 4.3 Gb harddiscs
approx 2Gb Linux partition and 128Mb Linux swap partition
Creative Banshee graphics card
SBLive! soundcard
This has me baffled, since there are now commercial PCs on sale running
Linux and with AMD K6-2s! I have tried the installation after turning off
the external cache in the BIOS setup, but still no joy.
Waiting hopefully
Ian Nicholls
