Subject: Modem problem
Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1999 11:02:09 -0500
Hi, I have a Diamond Supra 56k Modem. It is not a winmodem, and I have
seen a website that details how to install this modem, but it did not
work for me. It is set to use com 2, irq 3, i/o 2f8 in Win98. Now, the
problem is, when I set up isapnp.conf with these settings, it gave me a
fatal error saying there was already a device there. When I looked to
see what it was, it was a serial port (auto). Now, I have com 2 disabled
in BIOS, so that must be the modem already, but since it sets it up
first as a serial port, I can't get the modem to work. I'd appreciate
any help.

Hi.
I'm new to linux and am having a bit of trouble locating
source code. I'm running RedHat 6.0, and I have found the source RPMs
and installed them, but they seem to bundle a lot of stuff per RPM.
So if I want to find the source for uniq or sort or cat (as examples),
how do I figure out which (of the several tens of) RPMs they're in?
Sorry if this is a REALLY FAQ, but I just couldn't seem to
dope out the system.

Signal 11 always means that something is going on with your hardware. It
could be anything from bad ram to an overclocked cpu. It does not just mean
bad ram.

Here's a suggestion regarding esd. I have esd set to start when I login
to my X session, and to terminate when I logout. This is all done
through my $HOME/.xsession file, which is shown below. It works well.
#!/bin/bash
# Kill esd if it was running from a previous login. Will have no impact
if esd isn't running.
killall esd
# Start a new esd daemon

I have experienced a very interesting problem with my Linux RH 6.0
system. Well, it is not really a very scary problem, but I have noticed
that my PATH environment variable is defined two times. I have
identified the problem to be caused by that my '.bash_profile' script is
executed 2 times at login time. This only occurs when I log in to my X
desktop. I currently run GNOME, but the same problem occurs when I run
Blackbox. It works fine when I log on to the console however. But when
I try to start X by the 'startx' command my window manager refuses to
start. All I get is the grey X server screen.
Has anyone experienced the same thing, and in that case, what is
happening? How can I solve this? I want to start more things in my
profile-file but I don't want them to be run more than one time.
Best wishes

without problems for quite a while. I even wrote a small application
with it (see http://studserver.uni-dortmund.de/~su1690) But I had to
update some libraries before it worked. Especially you will have to get

You should create small ext2 partion ending before 1024th cylinder and
mount it as /boot. Linux is able to use whole your drive, but its booted
by bios that can't see more then 1024 (unless it's new enough).

Is this card plug & play? If its not, make sure the jumper points to an IRQ
and base IO not being used, and you probably have to pass an argument to the
kernel at boot time,
eg,
append = "ava1505,9,0x140"
or similar.
Have you recompiled the kernel w/ support for that card?
Also, check out the ZIP Drive mini-HOWTO

You're probably looking at the kernel source code, you definitely
are if it's under /usr/src/linux (If I remember correctly).
I don't think RedHat comes with the source for all the little
utilities like cat or ls. Even though they're commonly found
on just about every Unix system, they are not part of the heart
of unix (i.e. the kernel).
I'm sure you can find the source for them at gnu.org, or one
of many mirror ftp sites, because gnu has written open source
versions of all those utilities. It'll probably be instructive
to study them, and you can play pranks on your friends by
altering their behavior, changing the meaning of the command
line arguments or whatever. (Yes, I'm evil!)

Much as I like Yard, if all you want to do is update the kernel I'd
recommend trying mkbootdisk first. I comes with the RedHat base
distribution and is intended for exactly this purpose. Look for the
mkbootdisk rpm.

Since upgrading from rh5.2 to 6.0, finger no longer displays the status
of the users mailbox. Even if the user has mail, fingering the
userid always produces the output:
$ finger root
Login: root Name: root
Directory: /root Shell: /bin/bash
Never logged in.
No mail.
No Plan.
If I login as that user, using elm or pine I am able to read new mail
messages. This symptom seems consistent across multiple rh6.0
machines that were upgraded from 5.2, and this feature worked correctly
under 5.2. Any insight is appreciated, and please copy

Believe what you want, but you're simply wrong if you think linux beats NT
on every benchmark for every application. For certain purposes, IIS
definitely delivers pages faster than Apache on Linux on super high-end
servers. I still wouldn't run NT for a webserver with that type of load;
that's what Solaris is for.
1) Apache is not superfast at static pages; it's designed for
flexibility and dynamic content, to the small detriment of static page
delivery.
2) Linux (AFAIK) does not support "ethernet striping", where you put
multiple ethernet cards with the same IP address in a machine and have it
send through whichever is least busy. This gives NT a large leg-up in those
(very rare outside of MS benchmarks) situations where you need to exceed the
raw throughput that your card is capable of.
Pick your need, do your research, choose the one that's best suited to the
task. For me, often it's Linux. Often it's Solaris. Often it's NT.

Direct confrontation is usually non-propaganda. We were originally

imperalist and dictatorship to describe the USA. My being sick to

Subject: mail utilities in Linux
Id like to use the xmailbox utility that comes with Redhat 6.0 to notify
me when I have mail. I've been trying to find my way around the FAQ's
to get mail and xmailbox to work in my Redhat 6.0 setup. I can
configure Netscape and get my mail just fine but can't seem to get the
internal mail stuff in Linux configured right. My setup is as follows:
I have a 3Com Officeconnect ISDN Lan Modem which has internal DHCP. I
configure the router as 192.168.1.1 and my machine gets assigned
192.168.1.2. On my Linux computer I just plug the ethernet card into
the Lanmodem and give it the 192.168.1.1 lanmodem gateway address and
domain. The Lanmodem stores all of my ISP DNS info and dialup so I just
work like I was on a LAN and the Lanmodem handles any dialout and DNS
that is needed. Everything works fine but not sure how to set up
xmailbox. I'm sure this is easy but I just seem to make things worse
when I try to follow the help docs on this one.

Unless I totally misremember the C standard, an int is allowed to be 16
bits, and those of us who worry about portability have gotten into using
long, even on systems which are known not to have 16 bit int, and
applications which are not portable.

problem like this from redhat 5.2. Our kernel version is 2.2.5-22 and
our snmp package is ucd-snmp-3.6.1-4. All other packages on the systems
are up to date as well. This is quite irritating as our snmp box pages
me when it dies, and its hard to know whether the machine died or just
snmp, so we have to treat each event as a real outage. Thanks for any
input on this, and please copy your response to my email address.

Hello Christian,
I use Blackdown.org's JDK1.2 prerelease 2
under Calder OpenLinux 2.2 (2.2 kernel)
and I really have no problems at all. My
company's Java software contains about 800 classes
and compiles and runs fine, using RMI and JDBC.

I think it comes with quite a lot of it.
For ls or cat:
% rpm -qf /bin/ls
fileutils-3.16-10
% rpm -qf /bin/cat
textutils-1.22-7
So, you want fileutils-3.16-10.src.rpm and textutils-1.22-7.src.rpm
If they aren't on the CD, they'll be on RedHat's ftp server (or a
mirror). Or, of course, from a GNU mirror.

Windows NT! You have to give it lots of attention otherwise it dies :-)
Couldn't resist.
