Hi,
I am just trying to install MuPAD 1.42, the concole mupad
works fine, but when I try to start xmupad, a new window
comes up, see already the prompt, but a second later I get
the error message "The MuPAD Help Tool was stopped
unexpectedly" and I have to stop the application.
I am running kernel 2.4.0test11, SuSE 6.4 and I took the
plain MuPAD binaries for Linux.
Thanks for any help in advance, Joerg.

Subject: Need help trying to patch the kernel.
Date: Fri, 08 Dec 2000 15:15:50 GMT
I have:
Dell Optiplex
RH 7.0 (custom install)
Kernel 2.2.16-22
I have installed some software (vmware) and on configuration it tell me
that it has problems working under kernel 2.2.16-22
I downloaded the patch-2.2.17.gz from www.kernel.org. All the
instructions I have come across say that the original kernel source
should be in the /usr/src/ directory with a slink to /usr/src/linux and
to run 'patch -p0 < patch-2.2.17'. I don't have any thing in
the /usr/src directory other than a RedHat directory with a bunch of
subdirectories, but no files.
Question: Where did the RH7.0 install the source files for the
kernel. Would it just be easier to download the full 2.2.17 kernel,
compile it and go with that, or am I missing something when I am trying
to patch the kernel I have.
I have neither compiled or patched a kernel before so proceedure is new
too me, although I am somewhat familiar with Linux.
Also 2.4 is not out yet is it?

Subject: Deleting zero-sized directory?
Date: Fri, 08 Dec 2000 11:27:34 +0000
Hi,
I have a directory with zero size. And I cannot delete it, even as
root!!!
When I do "ls -ail" I got this:
1 drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 8 09:35 cdrom/
1 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Feb 1 2000 cdrom2/
As you can see, a proper directory (cdrom2) has size 2018 and proper
permissions. But "cdrom" refuses to get proper permissions and proper
size. Then, it refuses to be deleted.
Yes, I tried suing as a root, chmoding it or touching it. But nothing
worked.
And I want it removed (or fixed) so I can point my CD to a proper
directory.
Any idea?
Salut,
Sinner

I have actually never measured it, also disk access "feels" slightly
faster. For me it's enough to know that it is likely to increase
speed, and then I go with the advantage of having infinite (tm)
diskspace.

Subject: missing bits/*.h files
Date: 08 Dec 2000 19:37:23 +0100
Hi,
I am experiencing a weird problem, in that for some reason I cannot
compile due to missing /usr/include/bits/*.h files. These should be
part of glibc, BUT I am on a libc5-based Slackware 3.6 system... why
are programs looking for glic headers?
It's not simply that I am trying to compile new programs with
hardcoded includes. First, I think that no program includes directly
the bits/ files, these are "internal" glibc headers. Second, I have
the same problem recompiling the kernel (2.2.12), which according to
uname -a I have done 16 times before. I go to /usr/src/linux and just
type "make", thus using my last working configuration. The kernel
complains that uio.h includes bits/uoi.h, which does not exist, and I
do not think ever existed...
Any thoughts?

Maybe you didn't install the kernel source. You have to explicitly
select that during installation -- or later, using rpm.
Under RedHat 6.2 the kernel source ends up exactly where your
documentation indicates: under /usr/src/linux-(version) with a symlink
/usr/src/linux linking to it.

What's so extreme about it?
>I mean, why should I do this?
Because your filesystem appears to be broken. Running a
program to check the filesystem integrity is the common-sense
thing to do. It's hardly "extreme".

This brings up a question I have been wanting to ask:
What's wrong with tar?
I realize it can't do incremental backups. But I don't care: My
entire system easily fits on a single DAT cartridge.
I realize it doesn't keep track of which tape was used when & where &
how. But again, I don't care, because my entire system fits on one
tape. I just write the date on the tape.
It probably wouldn't be the right solution for backing up a database
that is actively being updated. But I put my system in single-user
mode for the backup.
Aside from these shortcomings, is there anything wrong with using tar
to backup my Linux system to tape?

i'm tired of those logitech nazis,
go to http://www.logitech.com/cf/support/mousefiles.cfm
well you see they're offering software support here. as usual, operating
systems are limited to windoze and MacOS -- this isn't the point.
now lets take a look on the link:
windoze links point to mousefiles_pc.cfm
Ok, you get it right? windoze IS NOT an Operating System but a pc, so
i'm currently running Linux on my windoze box.
So they completely ignore what a PC is, do they know what is a Mac?
well perhaps they know what is a mac but you can take for sure they
ignore what MacOS is. This's as real as they provide support for MacOS
and claim to be providing support
for Macintosh.
hello! foolish ignorants! LinuxPPC exists! OpenBSD exists!

Well, we're pretty sure that it *is* the trojan, but the real point is that
it wasn't attached and there was no url so there was no way to "follow Johan's advice

I rulled out the hardware trouble, since the middle button works
for some things, like the window manager features. I used
'find' to determine which files had changed on my system in
the last couple days, nothing related to keyboard, X, or mouse
configuration had changed. I discovered that my mouse was acting
like a 2-button mouse, where the two outside buttons emulate the
middle one. I tried restarting X before even posting about this
trouble, but that didn't fix it. Last night I rebooted, and all
is well now. I'm glad it works, but I wish I understood fully
what happened -- that's not likely to happen.

I just installed the package Offix-Trash-2.4-8 (Drag & Drop files into
the trash) on a RedHat 6.2. I can't find any indication how to install
the Drag & Drop procedure properly, even in the INSTALL and
README files. The Trash application is on the system menu and...
When I click on it, I get a window with Undelete, Delete, Delete All,
Confirm options, and...I have even tried the option «trash -ic» without
any success. I am a newbie with Linux but I already have installed
some softwares, seeming at the beginning more complexes, without
any problem and I am stucked with this stupid one. Can anyone
help me please? Thanks.

We are in the process of redesigning a couple of database programs on
our website. We use the Linux platform. One the the programmers that
we received a bid from states " that when using MySql on Linux it is
slow and changes are hard to make. We can make it work by hardcoding,
but it is not scalable. Also MySql is not set up to be a business level
database.
How valid do you think this statement is? And, if it is not valid can
you tell me why?
