Postgres runs well and seems solid. I've not done any serious timings

Subject: RedHat7 cdrom: open failed
Date: Sat, 09 Dec 2000 21:21:03 GMT
After installing RedHat7, whenever I use 'linuxconf' or 'netconf' I
recieve the following message on the terminal as well as in
/var/log/messages:
cdrom: open failed
ATAPI device hdb:

The failed "Read Cd/Dvd Capacity" packet command was:

I only get these messages when there is no media in the drives. Any
idea why this happens, or how to fix it? It's pretty annoying.

It's wrong in line 1, I guess. You want the pathname of the
executing prog. This works ok:
#!/bin/bash
echo -n "What is your name? "
read name
echo "Hello, " $name

Subject: Netscape POST/passwd field problem
Date: Sat, 09 Dec 2000 16:33:09 -0500
I apologize if this problem has come up before, but I did a search of
the deja archives and did not see anything like it.
Whenever I try to log into a site that has user authentication, it
fails. The problem seems to occur with POST method using the INPUT tag
with TYPE="passwd". This has happened on more than one site. It first
occured on Netscape 4.61 running on RedHat 6.1, so I installed Netscape
4.76, but the problem persists. Interestingly, the problem occurs with
both http (yahoo mail) and https (my credit union).
With yahoo mail, when I enter the correct name and password I just get
dumped back into the login screen, and it looks the same as if I had
gone there directly. If I do NOT enter a password in the box, I get an
error message "Invalid Password ID". If I enter gobbledygook for a user
id, I get "Invalid User ID", which to me seems to indicate that a server
side edit is working properly -- no way in hell could javascript contain
all the yahoo user id's!
With my credit union, I get the following response to entering my
correct username and password: "Error: WERROR - Undefined error: no
returned code." It's a static html page. Not very helpful.
Oddly enough, my roomates machine running Netscape 4.74 on Win98 does
not have this problem. Both boxes share the same gateway, BTW, which is
using ipchains for firewalling.
Is this a known bug with Linux Netscape? Anyone ever seen this behavior?
TIA,
Scott Williams

It doesn't have to be able to read them...select "delete partition" and then
select "delete non-DOS partition" to nuke the Linux partitions. It'll ask
for confirmation (less than for FAT filesystems); say "yes" and it'll be
gone.

Turn off the utility that's trying to automount the CD-ROM drives.
There should be an option somewhere in Sawfish/Enlightenment that allows
you to automatically play audio CDs or mount data CDs, so set that
option to "NO". If that still doesn't solve the problem, recompile your
kernel and turn off automounter support. If you do have to recompile
the kernel, remember that DeadRat 7.0 shipped with an unstable GCC that
can't properly compile a kernel. Use "kgcc" instead of gcc to compile
kernels.

I think I just got bit by this...I'm using tomsrtbt (Linux on a floppy) on a
Gateway Handbook 486; it apparently has no qualms starting a Linksys PCMLM56
combo modem/ether card, and the ethernet stuff is fine. But miterm (tomsrtbt
minimalist terminal emulator) is extremely slow; it reminds me of a BBS link
20 years ago at 300 baud or worse. On the old 486 desktop, both ethernet and
miterm dialup with tomsrtbt seem to run at top speed. Version is PCMCIA Card
Services 3.0.12 on this rollout of tomsbtrt. I'm off to try to run down info
on Google later, and other suggestions for 486 laptop PCMCIA are welcome.

NFSv3 needs to be selected on the kernel compilation (possible
module, I not sure). Only use the recent versions of the kernel
(2.2.18pre2x) with it though. It might be a good idea with NFS 2 as
there has been a few updates wrt NFS.

Hmmm... the "Enable Javascript" button is selected in Preferences, so I would
think so. Is it possible that there is still a problem with Javascript
despite this? I had assumed that javascript interpretation (unlike the JVM
for applets) was built into Netscape itself. Perhaps I'm wrong about that.

If you have ssh why use telnet? Anyway, confirm that your /etc/services is:
telnet 22/tcp
and /etc/inetd.conf is (similar to):
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd
I know you said you updated /etc/services, but you may have port 22
hard-coded in /etc/inetd.conf.

chkconfig, at least under Linux, is used to adjust the run-levels at which
various init scripts located in /etc/rc.d/init.d run. You need to create the
appropriate init script for httpd (just use it to wrap apachectl), and then
use chkconfig. Be sure to read the manpage for chkconfig as it requires
certain lines to be in each init script that it manages.

Date: Sat, 9 Dec 2000 16:21:52 -0700
This is my first post in this news group. I have a unique situation and NO
linux experience to help guide me through. I own a copy of TurboLinux
Workstation 6.0. And would like to install it on my high performance
machine. HOW!!!
I want to install it as per following:
T'Bird 950
256mb PC133 2,2,2 hsdram (the best money can buy!)
asus a7v w/kt133 chipset and latest bios (bios is cd-rom bootable
compliant=enabled)
annihilator2
sblive
Linksys LNE100TX v4.1 fast ethernet lan card (pci)
adaptec2940 w/jaz1gb connected to it.
Atapi cd-rom 50x udma33(runs great!)
Onboard PromiseUltra100 ide controller w/my hd connected to it.
Here's my config and I'm hoping to not have to change it.
Primary mastr ide=enabled=Atapi cd-rom 50x udma33 bootable (runs great!)
Primary slave ide=disabled
secondary mastr ide=disabled
secondary slave ide=disabled
ONBOARD ata100 (only one drive is on this controller and it runs a hell of
allot better here than on the ata66 controller by far!)
Primary master ide=Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 40 7200rpm ata66 10.2gig Partition
C: D: E: and F:
C: drive=2gig=WinME(running super good)
D: drive=750mb=WindowsME swapfile&IE5.5 Temp internet files (Cache) For
preventing WindowsME defragmentation.
E: drive=3.75gig=Empty=I'm reserving for TurboLinux Workstation 6.0.
F: drive=3.75gig=Full with all my important data (my only local storage and
backup!) cannot loose this data!!!
All I want to do is install linux on my Empty E: drive. (should be no
problem, Right?) But every time I boot with linux cd or floppies, the
install program tells me that no ATAPI cd-rom was found even though I just
booted off it (stupid machine!). Everything here is top quality including
the cd-rom so there's no excuse! I even tried installing from hard drive but
the linux fdisk was to intimidating to risk my data on drive F: It did not
resemble the microsoft fdisk I used a thousand times so I did not go any
farther. If it just would tell me the assignments I'm used to like fdisk in
dos does I would not have hesitated. But I dont know what drive it wants to
partition or how it works and since I have no room for error=WHY YOU ARE
READING THIS!
I have read the user guide and understand everything, but it does not
support installation from Hard Drives (which is how I always install
OS'es=via my F: drive) nor give one clue how to do what I'm wanting to do.
It is a very, very easy task with the windows kernel and I'm sure one of you
readers know just how to help me! SO PLEASE HELP ME!!!
My name is Rodney and I am a computer technician living in the USA. I have
no linux experience as I only have delt with windows PC's. The configuration
above is my design and it runs windows unbeleivably well. I have used my E:
drive to install win2k with not a hitch. I will be waiting by the computer
for hopefully tons of emails in the next few hours. I want to thank anyone
in advance for what ever help you can give me! Thanks!

working at all? I have RedHat 6.2, and simply NEED sound working. Can some
either help me directly, or direct me to some help? The program I want to
run is called Impulse Tracker, if anyone has heard of it. It's use is to
compose music; Thus is absurdly useless without sound. Everything else works
swimmingly.
Thanks in advance for help.

Oh for the love of God...
I had the cookies turned off. Did it a couple of weeks ago to check
something else and forgot about it. Sorry to have bothered everyone. The
JavaScript comment jogged my memory -- thanks.

Subject: ISDN connection timeout
Date: Sat, 09 Dec 2000 23:22:36 GMT
Hello all,
Mandrake 7.2, KDE 2.0, the ISDN connection made with DrakeConf is heavily
subjected to a timeout. After x time of inactivity it closes. Like for
instance, the time of writing this message. I have to keep a ping going on
at 30 s interval to keep the line up.
Anyone know what config file to twinkle in order to get a truly stable ISDN
connection?
Cheers,
Alain

Subject: Key Error on install
Date: Sat, 9 Dec 2000 18:31:55 -0500
I am trying to install RedHat Linux 7.0 on my PC. When I run the setup
disk, the kernel boots and a few other things happen before I get the
following message:
Key Error: RIVA TNT2
Then linux proceeds on unmount all the filesystems and cancel the install.
FYI: I have a Viper V770 Ultra video card w/ a RIVA TNT2 processor. Does
anyone know a way to solve this? Please let me know. Thanks.
Jay
