Can anyone please help me??
I recently placed a drive in my linux box - Seagate 6.4 gig. I am now
getting the above error about every min in my messages file. I tried to send
the command hdparm -Z in order to change the powersaving mode on Linux.
However I get an Input/Output error. At the same time the drive is making a
strange clunking noise. Which really doesn't sound healthy.
I am currently running Redhat 5.2. Also I had the drive in a windows box for
the last year without any problems so I doubt it is actually the drive but
I could be wrong. The system appears still to be functioning correctly
however I would appreciate any help on this matter.

Subject: Newbie Q: How to setup tcp and ppp ?
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 11:37:01 -0800
Hello,
My question is how to start a dial-up connection from
linux slackware. I am a complete newbie in the linux world,
so pl. tell me the exact steps to follow.
Specifically, I want to know,
1) How do I set up the primary and secondary DNS ?
2) How do I setup the IP address of my machine ?
3) How do I setup an alias of my machine name, i.e.,
how do I call my machine x.y.com as well as a.b.org ?
As far as the dialing is concerned, I tried normal "cu", but it
does not exist in that distribution. I also do not have Cyan (?),
the communication package that comes with Slackware linux.
But I have the basic tcpip and ppp loaded.
Thanks,
- Swapnajit.

Linux Box shared drives and Printers (lp, ps and printers)... But I can
not print to them. I can configure the printer on the Win98 box but
when you print to one of them nothing happens. The lpr statement works
from within Linux and no problems printing. Any suggestions as to where

Problem2: I have mounted two msdos partitions are they are set up in

any other user. It can be read but not written to... Any

Problem 3: I can only run Dr-Dos from within KDE if the I am logged in

Well, I've done a little w/PM4. I have not done what you're
proposing, although the program is willing to do it. What I have done
with it is resize and also move ext2 partitions. By move I mean
"slide" them away from the beginning of the drive. This involves
moving all the data and superblocks and so forth. This has worked just
fine and the system came back up and ran without any troubles.
Although it was all on the same drive, the essential elements of what
you propose were all executed except the copying/moving of the boot
sector. I suggest you make a boot floppy beforehand so you can run
LILO again. Also, I only resized partitions twice, and only slid the
one, so maybe I got lucky. Backups are a good idea :) HTH

Try this:
reboot the system. At the lilo boot: prompt, assuming your boot image is called
Linux type the following:
boot: Linux append="no-hlt"
Reload the modules and see if the hissing goes away. If it does, it is likely
caused by the cpu coming in and out of "halt on idle" ... probably due to
network traffic appearing at the ethernet (or it could be caused by speaker
cables too near your video or network cables). Do you also hear the hissing
when you move the mouse?
Anyhow, if that fixes it ... live with it if you can because running the
machine in this mode makes the CPU a lot hotter and the machine less stable.

Actually...
Thats all I ever do. I use MC (midnight commander), and tag and copy files
and dir's over to floppies, by dir and only the ones I really need that I've
changed or added. I also make sure there is at least 2 hard drives in the
box. Then I mount that drive, formatted as ext2 of course, and just drag
copies of all homes and other important stuff that isn't backed up, and that
wont fit on floppies over there and have them available to restore
afterwards.
Another would be to use one of those parallel port Zip drives and fdisk and
format a few carts for it and do the backups to it. Since owning one of
these, they come in handy and you can make genuine ext2 zip cartriges out of
the regulars and they are reliable and nice to have on hand. If you need
help, holler and I'll pass on the proceedure to install the driver, make
them, mount and unmount them. I do it all the time and it's rather embedded
in my cranial.
Only copy the system stuff you need such as a few of the files in the /etc
folder and /usr. Even the /dev dir is recreated with standard stuff when you
install new. The rest of it is also recreated when you install new system.
If you are doing things right, any changes you made to kernal and other
stuff such as terminfo, etc., you kept a log of this so you can mimik it on
the new one right??!!! When done, just use mc, and drag em' back on there
and restart.

I'm getting the same error, only it happens when I invoke gnome-session or
panel. And neither command actually reported which .so contained the
unresolved symbol.
So, I did 'ldd gnome-session' and ran 'rpm -Vf' on each shared lib.
All of the libraries verified okay, except the imlib package.
Now, those packages' errors were reported as just "permissions" errors;
rpm -Vf /usr/lib/libgdk_imlib.so.1
.M...... /usr/lib/libImlib.so.1
.M...... /usr/lib/libgdk_imlib.so.1
.M...... /usr/lib/libimlib-bmp.so.0
.M...... /usr/lib/libimlib-gif.so.0
.M...... /usr/lib/libimlib-jpeg.so.0
.M...... /usr/lib/libimlib-png.so.0
.M...... /usr/lib/libimlib-ppm.so.0
.M...... /usr/lib/libimlib-ps.so.0
.M...... /usr/lib/libimlib-tiff.so.0
.M...... /usr/lib/libimlib-xpm.so.0
So, I ran rpm with the flag to fix permissions. No luck. The 'rpm' command
ran fine, but upon re-running the verify, the same errors were reported.
I tried removing the libgdk package (-e --nodeps) and reinstalling it.
After reinstalling, verify shows the same problem; it reports permissions
being incorrect somehow.
Now, each of these files are symlinks owned by root, permission bits 0777.
Each of the .so files they point to are real files owned by root, bits=0755
I can 'strings' the symlink and the referenced .so okay, so I know the OS
can actually read the file.
I had rpm check the crc and length on the imlib RPM file, and it
checked out clean (correct crc and length).
The version of imlib is imlib-1.9.4-1 for the i386 architecture, as spec'd
on the gnome.org start instructions for RH 5.2
If it might matter, my machine is an AMD K6-2 300MHz, 64 MB RAM.
Video card is Creative Graphics Blaster Exxtreme.
I've installed XFree86-3.3.3.1 with no problem and have been running X
using the RH default fvwm window manager. That all seems to be working
fine.
I know, I know... I should download the sources and compile for myself
and trace the unresolved reference down that way... and I will, unless
someone has already nailed this bug.
Although I'd still like to know why rpm reports the permissions being in
error, even after running rpm with the flag to fix permissions.
I've opened a ticket with RedHat; if anyone's interested, I'll post their
response.
Thanks for any help!

You can write another script at /etc/rc.d/rcX.d to umount/mount it

You do not need sendmail. Sendmail is only if you will receive mail

Nasty security hole doing it that way. If you put in your processes in
/etc/rc.d/init.d or one of the other culprits, and leave it at that. You
don't want an open account on there if no one is actually using it. Besides,
if an account is not open, then a terminal isn't open and a set of resources
isnt being used.

Not quite, ide stands for "integrated developpement environnement" where
atapi stands for "ata packet interface" cd-roms typically use atapi,
hard drives don't (there will undoutably be other things that use atapi)
(If I screwed up on something please correct me).

The only reason this was posted via a Microsoft box (maybe that will
change soon?) is because my sister is using the linux box. But, this
message did travel through my linux firewall.

Subject: Terminal not fully functional... Help!
I have just upgraded from RH5.0 to RH5.2 but I now seem to have a
terminal type problem.
If I type "man ls " for example I get a message saying:
WARNING: terminal is not fully functional - (press RETURN)
Some of my textmode applications just core dump, I think this may be
related to the problem.
Any ideas as to what the problem is or what I can do to fix it?
Many Thanks
Adrian Fretwell
