Try upgrading to Netscape 4.73 - I've had much less trouble with this
one.

Date: Mon, 05 Jun 2000 20:58:49 GMT
Hi everybody.
I've just installed Corel Linux in a Windows partition and I love it
already. I have the Glax desktop theme running which is gorgeous, the
way Linux handles hardware and kernel modules is delightfully
straightforward and a complete contrast to Windows. One of my main
reasons for trying Linux was that I was sick of being expected to pay
thousands keeping development tools up-to-date when I could be spending
that money on my hardware.
Natually I have experienced a few difficulties and I would appreciate
any help or advice that this newsgroup can provide.
Firstly I have got a Lucent Lt WinModem. Aaaarrrghhh. It was
advertised as a proper modem and the box it came in even has a picture
of a modem with a full chipset, but it seems to me that the thing is no
more than a blank pci card with a telephone socket on it! The company I
got it from will suffer for this make no mistake. In the meantime
getting the thing to work looks as if it may be problematic. I have
downloaded a kernel module from linmodems.org lucent586.zip called
ltmodem.o and transferred it by floppy to my Linux instalation. The
script that is supposed to install the module calls
insmod -f ltmodem
which outputs loads of undefined symbol errors, ltmodem is looking for
symbols like free_irq and panic, running
ksyms -a
indicates that my kernel is exporting the symbols
free_irq_Rsmp_f20dabd8 and panic_Rsmp_01075bf0. I've learned that the
extra characters on my kernels symbols are related to the kernels
version but haven't discovered a way to make it work, I thought the -f
switch was supposed to force module insertion despite version mismatch
and I've tried using the -x and -X switched as well just in case. The
version mismatch is tiny the kernel is version 2.12.00 and ltmodem.o is
compiled for version 2.12.00-20 or something like that. Another part of
the installation script calls
echo "/sbin/insmod -f ltmodem" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local
I think that this is supposed to add the name of the module to a list
of module dependencies in order that the ltmodem.o be loaded on startup
or something, but instead it fails with 'directory or file not found',
my system calculates all module dependencies each time it starts (which
I think is one of the reasons that it takes up to eight minutes to boot
up). Should I just try to add the directories or files it looks for?
The new modules documentation then states that I should run minicom
to set up the serial port but I don't seem to have minicom, does
anybody know if the module works at all and will it work with dial up?
How do I get the clock on the panel to display in 24 hour format? And
finally how do I get my English keyboard keys mapped up properly £ ~ #
are all messed about, I've set the language to English (British) but
that hasn't fixed it?
Many thanks in advance.
Martin.

I'm in need of a utility and or script that I can use to monitor a
systems performance on an ongoing basis at the process level. I know
top, vmstat, iostat, ps, etc., but I need something to take information
found in each of those utilities, put it all together and tell me what's
going on from time to time. For example, what's http doing throughout

Any ideas?

Yes, I suspect this: I have used this feature a lot, and while reading your post I
ftp'd in GMC to sunsite and gnome, but NOT to redhat. Maybe this is what is happening.
That site is nearly always user limited, and you can't get in. GMC has no way of
notifying you of that. It APPEARS to have "hung up" or "not be trying", etc. when in
reality it has gotten a notice that there are "too many users" etc. Maybe the coders
could give us something in the command line of GMC that says that, preventing the
confusion, perhaps. Bear in mind that all this is supposition, perhaps others could
help us with this. --

That'll take you straight to configuring your NIC, and then you can

Greetings,
WMFinder is supposed to be a nice MacOS-like file manager. I configured
& built it without any apparent trouble (with egcs 2.91.66), but when I
ran the built executable, I get only the message following:
Lockfile not found ! Creating...
Segmentation fault
Please could any WMFinder user help me to solve this problem ? Any help

/etc/rc.d/rc.local is the file where redhat let's you put stuff you want
started right after booting. Since corel is debian it most likely uses a
different file but you can as well start it by hand before you figure that
out. Re modules in general, they should correspond to the exact kernel
version you are using. Don't have any experience with modems and won't
acquire any winmodem for sure :)

Make sure that the firmware in the printer is the latest from HP.
We had a problem with an HP network printer in that while a
printout was printing any other prints queued to the printer
would be removed. Updating HPs firmware solved the problem.

Let me add my two cents worth to what Michael said:
I think you might have problems with the same base address
on both your ethernet cards (not for sure). I think that refers
to the locations in real memory - yours are identical. Here is
my ifconfig -a for my firewall:
[root@south /root]# ifconfig -a
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:CC:32:81:5F
inet addr:192.168.1.252 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:19 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:12 Base address:0xd800
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:81:EA:B4
inet addr:4.35.124.67 Bcast:4.35.127.255 Mask:255.255.252.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:4181 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:3317 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:10 Base address:0xdc80
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1
RX packets:42 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:42 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
Note that the Base addresses are different. They are two
different types of boards, which may account for that, I
don't know. I'd check that out. There is a HOWTO which
discusses having two nics in one machine - maybe the
Ethernet-HOWTO.
>From the looks of things, you are doing stuff barefoot.
I'd suggest using linuxconf. While on the topic, I think
you will have a much more secure system if you upgrade
to RH6.2. And then you need to get the security patches
from Red Hat. I visited there yesterday, and the truth is,
there is a lot going on. I downloaded Netscape 4.7.3 and
am going to get the rest as soon as I can.
BTW, if you are concerned about upgrading to RH6.2, don't
be. It is really getting slick these days. I just get the $29
box, slap the cdrom in the drive, and take the defaults and
let 'er rip. I have done it on 4 machines - going from RH60
in one case and RH61 in the others. Works fine. I think
there have been some improvements in the install and
linuxconf since 6.0. Sure seemed like that to me. BTW,
if you use linuxconf, all that tedium associated with setting
up your host adaptors goes away. Just do:
> linuxconf
and then go to
Config->
Networking->
Client Tasks->
Basic Host Information, where there will be a folder
for each of your detected nics.
That is the place where you tell the sysem what modules
the kernel should load, what the IP is, net mask, aliases,
and the rest. There's a help button to get hints if needed.
Highly recommended, if you're doing it manually now.

To boot beyond the 1024 cylinder limit, your BIOS must have the EDD packet

If I let Mandrake set itself up semi-automatically (i.e. no "expert"
mode), will I still be able to stick lilo somewhere else than on the
MBR of the root partition, like /dev/hda6? I use OS/2's Boot Manager
as my primary booting tool, and it is now set up to boot lilo off the
linux partition. I would be seriously p*ssed off if Mandrake were to
overwrite Boot Manager.

The 2.2.12 kernel supplied with RH6.1 does not support disks beyond 32Gb.
Newer kernels do.

As long as the 16Mb /boot partition lies below the 1024 cylinder limit, LILO
v.21 should work fine. But the kernel may have problems with the /home
partition in the upper part of the disk. Getting a newer kernel is the only
solution.

Unfortunately, the pervasive view seems to be that the Net is
for entertainment rather than for information ... and I fear
it is only going to get worse.
