Date: Thu, 04 Jan 2001 14:16:12 GMT
I'm unable to run OpenOffice as non-root. When I run soffice, I get the setup
program instead.
When logged in as root, it runs properly.
I have OpenOffice installed in /usr/local/openoffice60.
I've tried with the 609 and 613 builds.
Any ideas what the problem might be?

have you tried completing the setup as a non-root user? Gimp also
requires a setup for every user.

Found the answer in another conversation on this group...
Clip from that thread:
===========
If you've used linuxconf to modify the Apache webserver settings, it's
more than likely that the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file has a bunch
of
garbage in it that is preventing access.
Pay particular attention to the directory entries at the end of the
file. If you have entries similar to:
<Directory >
Options Includes MultiViews Indexes FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Indexes Limit Options
</Directory>
<Files >
Options Indexes FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Indexes Limit Options
</Files>
remove them or comment them out of existence. The restart the httpd
daemon and things should be accessible:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
============
Sure enough I had used linuxconf this time and wandered into Apache
setup and shure enough there were a bunch of <Directory xxx> and
<Files xxx> lines there!
I commented them away and now I am able to see what I need to see!
Why in heavens name is linuxconf doing this???

I installed RedHat Linux 6.2 with everything, ie. I had Apache 1.3.12
installed well. Now, I downloaded Apache 1.3.14 source code and complied
and made in default destination, /usr/local/apache/. But how can I run

how to do it? Do I need to copy some files to somewhere? Or do I need to

Subject: Reiser FS
Hi Everybody,
I have here a SuSE 7.0 installation running, with the home directories
mounted on a reiserfs.
The home directories are accessible via AppleTalk and NetBIOS in a
heterogene network with several Macs and PCs.
Since I copied with a Mac complete big directories to the reiserfs and
deleted them afterwards, there has happened something strange.
With the df command I got a disk usage of about 2 GB - the du command
shows the disk usage for all home directories - all together about 100
MB.
After a reboot of the machine everything was perfectly fine again - df
had an output of about 100 MB - but how comes?
Does anybody has an idea?

Wait a minute, why I will get in trouble? I don't even have a news server
installed. My portsentry have already blocked this scan, will this get me

It's not blocking the scans that will get you into trouble; it's installing
servers on your box. Just put the IP address of the scanner into your
/etc/hosts.deny (or let portsentry do it for you).

Hi.
I'm about to install RH 7.0 on a 64MB flash disk which is IDE compatible.
I'm thinking of including the linux kernel, C++ compiler and linker, telnet,
ftp and maybe Samba.
Would it be any problem installing this on the flash disk.
Would LILO have problems booting from this device?

Help. I've installed KDE 2 and apparantely the default install directory
was not /opt/kde. So now when X tries to start, the variable $KDEDIR which
points to /opt/kde is screwing everything up. The error message I get is:
/usr/bin/env: /opt/kde/bin/kdm no such file or directory
and X simply will not start. I'm assuming the problem is the enviornment
variable $KDEDIR which is defined somewhere...is this a reasonable
assumption? So my question is, where is $KDEDIR defined globally? and how
can I find where KDE 2 is installed? is this a product of reminants of KDE
1 laying arund and defining global variables that KDE 2 doesn't clean up?

Subject: memory question
Date: Thu, 04 Jan 2001 11:19:35 -0500
Hi to all
I have a general question about memory usage under Linux.
I write a fortran program which uses static memory allocation, ok
I shouldn't, but it doesn't matter for the question.
On my debian system there is the command memstat which tells me,
I deduce the full memory used by the executable.
If I look with top, the actual memory used is much less, how come ?
Ok, let's say the program uses 136Mb total according to memstat.
But I can run it on a 128Mb computer! Because the used memory is less or
why is it?
I cannot run it on my private computer with 48Mb ram. There I have a
segmentation
fault immediately. What does this depend on?
thanks and happy new year,

when a computer runs out of RAM, it starts using swap space. This could
be the thing that's happening here.

one standard for swap-space is to have it twice as large as your RAM -
in this case, the combined size is 96+48=144Mb - probably not enough to
run the program _and_ the operating system.

The ATI Xpert 98 card is supported by the Mach64 server. I don't know
anything about the Monitor, but I'd be surprised if it's not listed in
Xconfigurator. But you didn't say if that was the case. It would also

The original message seems to have disappeared , hence I am using this
message to reply.
Further to Mr. Evan's suggestion :
here's what my hdd looks like . It's a single 27 gb ata 66 drive, on an amd
Slot A tbird 700, 128 Mb of ram.
hda1 /boot 50MB ext2, contains lilo
PRIMARY ACTIVE
hda2 win2000 2GB NTFS 5.0
PRIMARY
hda3 win98 2GB fat32
PRIMARY
hda4 Extended (Remainder of hdd) hda5 onwards are in this
extended region
hda5 / 500MB ext2
( the root file system )
hda6 swap 128MB swap my
first swap partition
hda7 swap 128MB swap my
second swap partition
hda8 /var 200MB ext2
the "var " partition
hda9 /home 1GB ext2
Home partition that I do not format if I reisntall.
hda10 /usr 3GB ext2
All user programs go under here . Also the kernel source, the X server
system
hda11 win98Data 2GB fat32 a 2 gig
place for putting files I need quite often
hda12 Games 4 GB fat32 all
my windows games
rest of the drive is empty.
How did I do it ?
1) use partition magic 5 or higher ( Use the floppy disks ) to create the
partitions ( create hda2 as a fat32 partition- win2000 will convert it
later to ntfs). Then mark hda3 as active, reboot and install win98. As far
as it is concerned, it is being installed into a PRIMARY ACTIVE partition.
2) Set hda2 as active, and unhide hda3, ignoring all those warnings.
3) reboot, and install win2000. Don't forget to convert hda2 to ntfs.
4 ) go back into partition magic , set hda1 as active, and unhide hda2 and 3
if they were hidden.
5 ) Proceed with linux install, and when it asks you for fdisk or diskdruid,
just hit "done" and come to the mount point definition
hda1 is "/boot" and so on as indicated above.
6 ) After copying over the files, and taking care of X, it will ask you
where to put lilo .This is where a lot of beginers set themselves up for
trouble . So save yourself the hassle and put lilo into /dev/hda1 , and DO
NOT overwrite the MBR . Lilo will find win98 and win2000 partitions and
give them some labels. you are free to go in and edit them .
7 ) Finish installation.
At boot prompt ("LILO" )hit TAB . you will see
linux win2000 win98
LILO:
This is if you labeled hda2 as "win2000" and hda3 as "win98" during setup.
If you did not, you will see "dos", and "win" or something similar.
Type the label to boot that particular partition .
If something went wrong, use partition magic and set ( hda3) win98 as
active.Or if you prefer win2000, hda2 Upon rebooting, win98 (or win2000 )
will start booting up , and you never see lilo. If you want lilo back
assuming you took care of the problem using win98 (or win2000) ) , set
hda1 as active.
At this point, if you feel the need to reinstall either os ( win98 or
win2000 ) , just set the interested partition as active, and proceed with a
reinstall.
I'm using Rh 6.0 with XFree86 4.0.1 . GeForce 2MX card needs 4.0.1 with the
nvidia module from NVidia, or just get the 4.0.2 XFree86 package, save
yourself some trouble.
Since you say you're a newbie, here's some lilo help:
LILO: linux single
boots into run level 1 , with no network support , so that you can fix
problems ( sendmail hanging ? ) .
once at a command prompt,
type "init 5" to switch to run level 5, where x windows comes up.
init 3 to go to the Command line level (3) . Note that at 5, the command
line is available also .
Also while at a command prompt, ( after login, of course ) , type "startx"
to get into X .
You have atleast 5 consoles Alt-F1 to Alt-F5, on which you can log in, and
do command line stuff.
While in X, to get to console 1 , it is Ctrl-Alt-F1.
To kill the X server abnormaly ( you can't see anything!! )
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. This will cause a core dump.
/var/log/xfree86.log is generated by 4.0 and above X servers. It might help
you in figuring out X problems.

Besides nntp, any other server services are not allowed for the @home
connection? I am running pop3, smtp, www, telnet and ftp which I think is

a patch against 2.4.0-test13-pre1 kernel has recently been made
available to add support for the G450 in matroxfb. thus it may be
present in the last 2.4.0 prerelease (I hope because I've also got
problems with that card, but I've not yet downloaded a recent kernel).
if this works you will be able to run XFree on top of matroxfb (with the
FBDev X server).

I am running a Cobalt RAQ2 with Cobalt Linux. The distribution is so
similar to Red Hat that the differences are trivial! Though, it should
be mentioned, that this is a very lean distribution.
I was avised by Cobalt that this machine will not support a DHCP
server. I have DHCPD running. No sweat! The problem is, I have no way
to start it upon startup in the scripts. I tried using <chkconfig
--add>. It didn't work.
Help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

If you have the boot disk you made during the install then you should be
able to boot with it and at the lilo prompt enter:
linux root=/dev/hdaX
# where hdaX is the correct root partition
