Subject: problems running Linux Mandrake in GUI
Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2000 14:30:03 GMT
hello again... sorry to bother you one more time with my questions..
I couldnt get my linux mandrake 7.1 to start on a GUI interface, because
when i typed startx in the console, the action looked as if was going to
work but at the end it gave me an error message. After rebooting a couple
of times and typing startx or xinit, i gave up and reinstall the whole
thing again. After the reboot i came up in the X interface and even i
rebooted the system once and came up fine.. The problem started when i
shut down the system. Later when i turned on my computer it didnt go to
the X interface but in the console. I tried giving all types of commands
and still would give me the error message. Can somebody help me? I'm
running Linux in a Gateway 9150 366 Mhz 10 Gb drive 96Mb RAM DVD drive
SuperDisk Drive.
Thanks for your help!!!

Subject: Dev listings question
Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2000 14:27:46 GMT
I have a Redhat 6.1 machine that I have installed an Adaptec 2930 SCSI
card in. Redhat detected the card and I think it installed the kernal
add on correctly. Attached to this SCSI card I have an 8mm tape drive
and an SCSI hard drive. I am trying to figure out if any of the
entries under /dev actually point to the devices attached to the SCSI
card. I have tried doing a tar to any st* or nst* listing under dev
and I get no drive activity.
Is there a way to find out what dev entries go to what devices and if
Linux has made the link?

I hate to suggest this, but if you can forego the pretty graphical installer,
you might try the "text" install of RH 6.2. As the various distros have
"improved" their hardware sniffing capability, they've also increased the
possibility of getting hung up on a particular hardware condition. The
text install skips some of the hardware sniffing, since it doesn't require
a graphical display or a mouse.

It's possible that you munged the inetd.conf file somehow;
is inetd still running?
(Sounds like it, or you wouldn't get the connected message..?)
My guess would still be a problem with the config file, though..
I can't see how telnet and ftp are related,other than they're both
spawned from inetd.

I have a question about top. When I run the command here's the top
portion of the output:
7:09am up 3:02, 1 user, load average: 0.46, 0.99, 0.77
175 processes: 169 sleeping, 2 running, 4 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states: 4.7% user, 11.0% system, 0.0% nice, 84.1% idle
Mem: 1036072K av, 371368K used, 664704K free, 216244K shrd, 256908K buff
Swap: 273088K av, 0K used, 273088K free 32408K cached
So 371368K of 1036072K of memory is being used or about 35 - 36%. I then
did a top -b > resource to list all the processes. I added up the %MEM
column which only comes out to about 15%. Anyone know why there's a
discrepancy? Does top not list all processes running?
Would top catch a memory leak?

That doesn't sound like evidence of forwarding. Even a forwarding name
server caches the results it got. It only forwards when the data isn't in
its cache, which is the same circumstances that a non-forwarding server
will query one of the registered servers.
It sounds more like the servers on network 1 are stealth secondary servers,
not forwarding servers.

Ignore it. If it realy bothers you you can reconfigure the kernel
and remove the md stuff. The md driver creates a kernel daemon, with
and invalid filsystem structure. This is a bug in the md driver.

On unix systems file time stamps are always UTC time; the ls will convert
this to wall clock time before displaying the time stamp. The system
clock is also always UTC time and the date command will convert that to
wall clock time when displaying the date. Therefore the time you see
with the date command and the ls command will be influenced by the TZ
variable.
$ date

The search doesn't stop. To hide the warning messages, use

That doesn't work for me. After completing the installation
I log in as user and try to launch StarOffice, with
/usr/local/Office52/program/soffice
When I do that, it looks as if the thing is trying to install
itself again. I get a message saying that StarOffice 5.2 is already
installed, and that if I want I can deinstall it using the ``local
setup program''. I assume that is /usr/local/Office52/program/setup
but that gives me the same thing.
I tried to run /usr/local/Office52/program/setup.bin but I get an
error message, namely
/usr/local/Office52/program/setup.bin: error in loading shared
libraries: libvos1GCC.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory
Any hint would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry if this is covered somewhere, but I could not find it.
Yes, I know this is old software, but it will have to do for now.
I am running RedHat Linux 5.0 with Apache 1.2.4 on an old pentium

I can't for the life of me get the server to hand out .doc files in such
a way that the browser requesting the file asks the user if he wants to
save the file or launch it. It actually worked once, and I can't figure
out why it won't work again. Now it only downloads an empty file or
launches Word with a blank document.
The Appache error_log log file is giving me this error:

Hi,
We have a customer who is using our paging software, which uses the cu

and pipes to call and communicate with cu command, respectively. This

Does anybody has similar problems with fork command on RedHat 6.2? Is
this problem due to some missing libraries or there is some other cause for
it.

Same for me: also tried a 'custom' install, made sure that wu-ftpd was
selected, but it didn`t get installed. Is this typical for all
distributions, or is this irritating mess only with RedHat ?

It wasn`t installed, so I browsed the cd, and managed to find it, then
installed it, rebooted, and now I get message:
"connect:, no buffer space available".
Think it is enough for today, no more free time left...

Thanks for information :-))

Subject: ./configure problem
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2000 16:06:45 GMT
I am having a problem running ./configure on an install program that
works on other machines (I've installed the package fine on another
linux machine)
it worked fine on a SuSE machine with:
./configure
make
make install
But I am NOW trying to install it on a new RedHat 6.1 system (i686,
PIII-800EB), and it is not working. First, it told me it couldn't find
my cc/gcc compiler. So, I went online to redhat RPMS and installed
egcs-1.1.2-30.i386.rpm (and all the dependent modules it asked for), so
I now have (apparently) a working gcc compiler.
But now, when I tell it
./configure
it does a lot of tests (i.e. checking to see if gcc works .... yes,
checking to see if timestamp accepts input.... yes, etc etc for about 2
minutes) , and exits without an error, but then "make" does not work (it
says "make: command not found"). It seems to be running all the
preliminary tests but never getting around to creating the "make" file
for the program I want to install (it looks like the compiler is
installing itself!) Do you have any idea why it's doing that? How can
I make ./configure work properly on the desired program? (of course, i
run ./configure in the directory of the program i want to install, just
as I'm supposed to, and ./configure doesn't work in other directories,
suggesting it is TRYING to work with what's in the current dir...)
Any ideas, fixes, other ways to install gcc, anything -- i need to have
this prog installed!
Any help MUCH appreciated asap
Thanks

The interval right/bad ip on network 2 is longer than a normal
cache-update interval. It seems to be that [ns2] is in
forward-only-mode, although the registered servers have updated with new
records, [ns2] needs hours to get the new information (as long as I get
"...can't find x.y.z. : Server failed").
Difficult is the circumstance, that some dial-ins are in this network
and the clients don't get their www-pages... This users unfortunately
must use [ns2].
It seems to be the only way to contact admin by admin to solve this
problem...

If all you did to "change the file system type" was use fdisk to call
the ext2 partition a vfat partition, then using fdisk again should
invert this. But if you have done a format or makefilesystem, then I
don't know if recovery is possible (barring exotic tools for data
recovery like the spooks use)....mind you, I don't know that it is
difficult, either. I've been able to recover botched partition tables
by rewriting them correctly. But that was without writing anything else
to the botched partiions in the interim.

Sorry state of affairs in former Soviet Union. Sorry state of
affairs everywhere. Sorry for these are the new Dark Ages again.
Sorry.
