How to print the blocks which are reserved as bad in the swap
partitions, like "dumpe2fs -b" in e2fs?
Thanks.

Subject: More kernel trouble?
Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2000 14:29:39 GMT
So there I am, merrily recompiling the 2.4.0-test9 kernel,
after having gotten the required modutils and other packages
listed in Documentation/Changes. 'make install' I type,
then 'make modules_install' - and lo, the error messages have
vanished. So I enter the command 'reboot', and hope to see the
new kernel in all it's glory...
But then e2fsck kicks in, and informs me that the superblock
of /dev/hda1 (my root partition) cannot be read or is missing.
Very nice. I try the listed fix - e2fsck with the -b option -
and it repeats the error. It does mount the fs - in read-only
mode. I've got a few more options to check, but I thought I'd
ask here first - does anyone have a fix for this? The 2.2.17
kernel works just fine, it's just that I want ACPI and HID
compatibility...

SuSE has a set of rpms for kde2 that worked very well for me.
Since RH uses rpm and essentially the same dir structure
they may work for you.. Also, there is some help on
the webpage for what happens to you.

I'm not sure if this is the best approach, but you can do it pretty
simply by piping the `tail -f' to gawk like this:
tail -f foobar | \
gawk '{printf("%s %s\n",strftime("%b %m %H:%M:%S",systime()),$0)}'
That gives lines like:
Nov 11 22:44:23 <input line>
If that's the wrong date/time format, it shouldn't be hard to fix.

I'm running SuSE 7.0 on a P166 Sony VAIO with 64MB of RAM. I've never
had Linux crash in three years. I've had kde crash once or twice. in the
nearly two years I've used it. Recently, I deleted kde from my box and
installed KDE3 using SuSE's rpms. It is very stable.
I did replace the qt-2.1.1 with qt-2.2.2, which is the latest.
I've never been blown out to the command line yet. Some apps are touchy,
but Konqueror, KMail, KNode seem very solid. No crashes on them yet.
I've tried to compile two apps written specifically for KDE2 and though they
compile and install nicely they both seem to have identical path problems
and can't find the png icons, resulting in a KCrash message.

You probably need to put a "domain" entry in /etc/resolv.conf.
Something like:
domain home.com
This tells the resolver what domain to assume if you give it an
unqualified name like "mail".

Just caught this thread. I felt like throwing in that my local Linux
guru at work ended up spending an entire day compiling KDE 2 for my
RedHat 6.1 setup, and the resulting package still seems to have some
issues. Meanwhile, at home I have KDE 1.1.2 with RedHat 6.2, and I like
it a *lot* more than the badly organized and buggy KDE 2.

Had somewhat the same problem... DOS fdisk won't see a ext2 partition... If
you can boot into linux, use the fdisk command there to alter or delete your
ext2 partitions. Do a man on fdisk and read... there's a more prefered
fdisking program usually... just can't remember what...

i took a slightly different approach, I installed the new qt libs without
replacing and actullay have four versions running nicely at once, the onl=
y app
I've had issues with were the following:
knode crashes while trying to pull in headers and locks, and some posted =
a fix
suggesting it was a problem with the libmimelib files but that failed to
correct the issue, the other was kword trying to save html files. It prod=
uces a
single big "1" as opposed to actual text. =20
if anyone can serve up a solution to that I would appreciate it.
i can continue to use kexpress or pan for news and star office or compose=
r for
html stuff, I like to have options.
thanks

i'm still thinking that redhat is the issue, as it has been gnome partial=
for
some time.

Hi
does anybody know in which config-file the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH is initialized?
It appears when calling "env" as root running on SuSE 6.4. Thanks in

Subject: dumping multiple volumes to tape?
Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2000 01:44:45 +0000
Hi,
I'm using dump/restore with a 40GB DLT tape. I want to backup three
volumes of 3GB, 11GB, and 5 GB. However dump defaults to assuming a
tape length of 2300 feet, and 1600 BPI (bytes/inch) ==> 27600 inches x
1600 BPI == 43 MB. So anything larger than 43 MB and it asks you to put
in a new tape! Okay, so you fool it by giving it the -s and -d options
to specify a density and tape length which would allow your volume to
fit on the tape, and away it goes. However it takes much longer than it
should to write the data to the tape. ie it just keeps running the tape
until it gets the EOT (end of tape) at the end, by which time it's too
late to dump the other two volumes on the tape!?! How can I get it to
stop when it's dumped the volume, so I can dump the next one?
Thanks,
Paul

Don't install the LILO bootloader ,but make a Linux startup disk

kgcc is just a graphical frontend to gcc, the GNU compiler, do not worry about that

KDE and GNOME can happily coexist.

I did not check the source now, however, do you compile for SMP?
I assume your kernel will run on a single CPU machine.
Go and check for the SMP support. Just tick it off. This _might_ solve
the problem. The SMP support question appears right in the beginning of the
kernel configuration.
If this does not solve your problem you might get the RH 6.2 gcc and try to
compile with this one.
Much luck.
Martin.

I assume you cannot this driver by itself but you have to patch your kernel
and compile the
whole kernel. If you did read that you can compile it by itself as a
module the problem
might be the RH 7 gcc. Try the 6.2 gcc.

There was something about the need to change the partitionning information.
I don't remember what it was exactly, but maybe you can find it with
a search engine.
Now, to exclude that possibility, delete all partitions on that disk,
then dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1k count=1 # /dev/sda is the right disk,
then REBOOT (yes) and then create your fs directly on /dev/sda, not using
any partitionning.
