Subject: "can't locate module [x]"
Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 02:08:35 GMT
hi!
1.
i just installed the 2.2.15 kernel on a slackware7 system.
i get these boot messages.
can't locale module slip
can't locate module ppp
can't locate module bsd_comp
funny thing is that i didn't even choose ppp and slip in menuconfig.
in fact, only module i have is dummy.o, and i get no complaints on that
part
now i have it like this.
module support enabled.
kernel module loader disabled (cause it gave me loads of error when
experimenting).
there is no /etc/conf.module
in /lib/modules/2.2.15/modules.dep i find a single line:
/lib/module/2.2.15/net/dummy.o
:which is there as it should.
but i have tried several variations.
so why do i get those errors???
and what to do about it?
2.
the kernel from the bare.i slack7-bootdisk (2.2.13) was >600k.
the current one (2.2.15) is 464k. i disabled all unnecessary stuff.
200k smaller, that's nice.
but
does it matter much, considering i have 192meg ram?
or is kernel memory "special" in some way?
thanks in adv. and peace / alex

Hello.
I've never installed Java on Linux before and I'm having a devil of a time
figuring out how to make it work.
What I'd like is to be able to run applets through Netscape.
I've installed kaffe1.0b4 and tried fiddling with CLASSPATH, but my browser
still blows up.
I've looked at the HOWTOs, but they all seem tailored to those who know
what they're doing. Can someone point me to a straightforward install
HOWTO, or just tell me what to do?

I agree with testing on whatever it is to be viewed. Part of the diffs come
from the browser and the hardware; html is html, but some colors etc get mapped
differently on different platforms.
BTW, Dreamweaver is not really true WYSIWYG, but closer compare to something
like HotDog. It's more like a 'GUI interface' to the html editor; it will only
allow you to do what the tags allow you to do. A true WYSIWYG would be something
liek Word, where you can do just about anything you want on the page, but it
fills in the codes so you can do WYSIWYG, hence all Word html files are full of
cryptic stuffs no human are willing to type in an ascii editor.

well i think the other posters have covered the meaning and orgin of core
files
now once you have one there are one of two things you can do
ether use it to find out why the app crashed in the process and fix the bug
with info you gain.
or you can delet them
if you want you can add this to your crontab and it will clean them up for

Obviously, the init scripts (in /sbin/init.d/ or /etc/rc.d/ ... can't
remember where Slack puts them) are trying to load these modules. Because
of licensing issues, the bsd_comp functionality (almost required for modem
usage) is only built as a module.
>there is no /etc/conf.module
Not surprising; it's "/etc/conf.modules". If you're missing that, you
really should have one. For example, if the error messages at boot
irritate you, you can insert these lines into /etc/conf.modules :
alias ppp off
alias slip off
alias bsd_comp off

Yep. Kernel memory cannot be swapped to disk, so when the kernel claims a
chunk of RAM, that chuck is unavailable for anything but the particular
module until the kernel decides to releaase it. 192M is a fair chunk of
memory for a personal system... right now. In 2 years, it will be the
bare minimum for running Win2002 :-) Really, in most cases, the more
memory you can reserve for userspace, the better. A smaller kernel with
less extraneous stuff will run faster as well as use less memory. HTH,

Seriously, system administration is one of those things where you are
occasionally faced with problems that you've never seen before and no one
else has seen before. In those circumstances, your best bet will be to
have a lot of basic knowledge in whatever OS is being used, a hefty supply
of caffeine, a willingness to make a total fool of yourself, and a really
good line of BS you can spout to your boss if you pooch the system beyond
all recognition. Aileen Frisch's book is a good start nontheless.

There is something you can set somewhere (informative eh?) that prevents
core dumps in the first place. May be a Kernel compile is required but I'm
not sure.

Finally found it. To disable for a specific user environment, issue a
"ulimit -c 0", preferably within your .bashrc or .tcsh startup
environment. To disable it globally, you need to edit linux/sched.h and
recompile the kernel. See /usr/doc/FAQ/txt/FAQ for more info.

Subject: 2 network cards: problems, but more clues!
Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 03:32:46 GMT
I'm still struggling to try to get 2 NICs working inside my RedHat 6.0
Linux machine. My sincere thanks to the few who have offered
suggestions so far. I think I'm a little farther now, and I think I
can provide enough information below that some sharp-eyed guru can
figure out where I've misconfigured something.
Background: I'm trying to share the DSL connection going to eth0 on my
Linux box with everyone on the network. So I've put in another NIC
(eth1) in the box and tried to configure it to use a private IP
address. I planned to have eth1 as "192.168.1.1", and the other
machines in the building as .2, .3, .4, etc. Sound good?
Now at this point I'm not really concerned with the DSL sharing - I
want to simply get the internal network working first! But my problems
are twofold:
1) With eth1 installed, I've suddenly lost the ability to access the
Internet through eth0.
> ping www.yahoo.com
ping: www.yahoo.com: unknown host
> ping 216.32.74.51
PING 216.32.74.51 (216.32.74.51): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Network is unreachable
ping: wrote 216.32.74.51 64 chars, ret=-1
This problem can be fixed ONLY if I manually type in "route add default
eth0". Then it works:
> route add default eth0
> ping www.yahoo.com
PING www.yahoo.akadns.net (216.32.74.52): 56 data bytes

64 bytes from 216.32.74.52: icmp_seq=1 ttl=243 time=24.3 ms
...
What's up with this? How do I fix it, other than typing in "route add
default eth0" every time I reboot?
2) I cannot seem to connect to any of the other computers on my
internal network, except my own.
> ping 192.168.1.1

--- 192.168.1.2 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
But wait! I have some clues that might be help.
First, to recap:
eth0: = DSL connection (IP: 64.40.68.250)
eth1: = internal connection (IP: 192.168.1.1)
Look at this traceroute:
> traceroute www.amazon.con
traceroute: Warning: Multiple interfaces found; using 64.40.68.250
@ eth0
traceroute to www.amazon.com (208.202.218.15), 30 hops max, 40 byte

47.159 ms 11.982 ms
... etc ...
The first line seems to indicate that there are multiple NICs to choose
from, and it chose eth0. That's the DSL connection, so that's right.
But look at this next one:
> traceroute 192.168.1.2
traceroute: Warning: Multiple interfaces found; using 64.40.68.250 @
eth0
traceroute to 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 * * (here it hangs)
Wait a minute - I want it to look for 192.168.1.x on *eth1* - and yet
the first line seems to indicate that it is again using eth0. Why is
that? How do I fix it?
Here's the output of "netstat -r" - does it tell you anything?
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
64-40-68-248.me * 255.255.255.252 U 1500 0 0 eth0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1500 0 0 eth1
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 3584 0 0 lo
default * 0.0.0.0 U 1500 0 0 eth0
Note that the last line of that table only showed up after I
typed "route add default eth0".
I hope someone can make sense of all this and let me know where the
problem is. I greatly appreciate your help!
Below are some more files/output that might help:

A floppy boot disk will work, but can be a bit slow. Another option I use is to
put LILO on a floppy.

Subject: delete user's mail
Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 03:36:04 GMT
Is there any good method to delete user's mail?
Suppose a user requests me to delete a large mail in his a/c
while I don't know his POP3 password.
I have tried mail -f /var/mail/user
but it warns me that I am not the owner
As the mail user's shell is set to /bin/false
I don't want to modify his shell and "su -"
it is too inconvenience...
Any suggestions? Thanks!
