Is the logical drive already formatted for WindowsME? AFAIK Fips only
works on partitions already formatted for FAT16 or FAT32.
If you want to create a new logical partition from free space you should
use fdisk or partition magic or something --

I am using Redhat 6.2 distribution. When I give startx command the screen is
blinking for about two times after which it is giving a huge error messages,
which contains many lines starting with '(--) Mach64:' Mach64 is actually my
X server name. The error message also contains the following lines.

Can any one please tell me what is this fixed font error and what is wrong

If you specify "auto" as the third field in fstab, the OS will try every FS type
it knows. For example, I have
/dev/hdd5 /mnt/orb auto user,noauto 0 0
(mine is an ORB disk, but the principles are the same).

yes, the logical drive is formatted for WindowsME and it does have some
programs installed on it which I want to keep intact. Or else I cud've
used fdisk to repartition. btw, i was under the impression that WinME uses
FAT32 partitions.
Would appreciate any help with this.

Last fall I had the same problem with RH 6.2 I don't remember the
exact fix, but I thrashed around looking for xfs lock files (while xfs
was not running), restarted xfs ("/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs start" [1]) and
xfs was up and running, w/o any problems since. There was definitely
no serious work involved.
The RH 6.2 machine is one of my desktop machines at work, if this post
does not help, you can email me and I'll look at it in more detail
when at work.
[1] If I remember correctly (that's what it is on the Mandrake 7.1
machine I'm sitting at, and I'm 99+% sure it's the same path on RH
6.2).

Subject: X - NumLock On/Off Revisited

X - NumLock On/Off Revisited
There have been so many Linux users that have complained
that the "NumLock" is turned off when they start their X
server, and others who say it should be left off that I
thought a quick "NumLock" refresher is due. This is info
that I have collected over the past year from news groups
and email lists.
There are two basic ways, that I know of, to turn on the
"NumLock" when X is started. Both of these methods work
on my SuSE 7.1 system. Note that although they work, the
"NumLock" light does NOT light up. The keys work, the
light does not. I personally don't care if the light does
not light up as long as the keys work.
Method 1.
Check to see if you have a .Xmodmap file in your home
directory. If you do then add the following to the end
of the file. If you don't have the .Xmodmap file, then
create one with the following. Once this is done just
restart your X server.
keycode 79=7
keycode 80=8
keycode 81=9
keycode 83=4
keycode 84=5
keycode 85=6
keycode 86=plus
keycode 87=1
keycode 88=2
keycode 89=3
keycode 90=0
keycode 91=period
Method 2.
Look for the file ".../xkb/types/basic". This file is usually
located in /etc/X11 or in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 Use the "locate"
command to find it. It's location is dependant on the flavor
of Linux that you are running. Once you have found this file,
use you favorite editor (as root) and look for the section of
code that looks like this:
type "KEYPAD" {
modifiers = Shift+NumLock;
map[None] = Level2;
map[Shift] = Level1;
map[NumLock] = Level1;
map[Shift+NumLock] = Level2;
level_name[Level2] = "Base";
level_name[Level1] = "Number";
};
Now change all the "Level1" to "Level2" and "Level2" to "Level1".
That is just switch them around. Once this is done, just restart
your X server.
One of these methods should work for you.
Hope this helps. Hope this finally lays to rest the NumLock
problems when starting X.

In my /etc/fstab :
/dev/sda4 /mnt/zip vfat noauto,user 0 0
/dev/sda /mnt/maczip hfs noauto,user 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/e2zip ext2 noauto,user 0 0
MacOS (HFS) ZIP disks are not partitioned; the whole disk is used as one
large HFS filesystem. FAT16 ZIP disks are almost always partitioned
such that there's a 96M filesystem on partition 4. ext2 is rarely used
on ZIP disks; UIDs and GIDs don't translate across systems and that
screws up easy data sharing, not to mention security problems that can
occur if you let users mount ext2 volumes.
HTH!

Thanks for your suggestion. I exactly did what you tried to explain here.
First I stopped the xfs service and then removed the xfs lock files under
the /var/lock/subsys directory, then started the xfs service and then gave
the startx command. But no joy, it is giving the same error and when I ask
for the status of xfs it is once again displaying the same message 'xfs dead
by subsys locked'
Here is the sequence of commands that I used.

Subject: Migrating from PMMail mail client to Linux
Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 20:48:14 -0700
I have been using a mail client called PMMail under OS/2. PMMail is
also available for Windows. Since I work mostly under Linux now, I'd
like to migrate my email client and existing email archives to some
Linux based system. I see two ways to go.
1. Keep using PMMail. This would be preferable. PMMail is light
years ahead of anything I've seen for Linux. In fact, it's considered
excellent even by the standards of Windows software. The question
is, can PMMail run under WINE? I've never used WINE. Before I
take the trouble to set it up and see if PMMail works, I'd like to know
if anyone else has already been that way.
(By the way, the publisher of PMMail, Blueprint, has stated that they
are working on a port to Linux. As far as I'm concerned, putting faith
in some company's promises is counterproductive, so until something's
actually shipping, I'm going to behave as if there won't be a port.)
2. Convert to a Linux based email client. Granted, Linux email
clients don't impress, but at least one thing is sure, it can't get
any worse than it is now. If I understand right, there are basically
three standards for email storage in use under Linux. I'd need to
convert my PMMail archives to one of those standards. Ideally,
someone might have already written some software to do that.
Short of that, maybe someone more knowlegeable than me could
give me some pointers. I know how to program, but I don't know
anything about any email storage standards.
All help appreciated,
Robert Morelli

Strange. Even when someone cracked a free shell Linux server and changed
ownership of /home to their name with no permissions for anyone else, I
could still ssh in, and still showed up in who. I just could not access
my home dir (I was dumped into /tmp/ssh-efflandt).
However, when I installed SuSE 7.1 on my own box, I noticed that 'who'
there only shows normal users and does not show root logins, whereas, RH
and Mdk show everybody.
Do they show up when you do 'last'?

Nonsense, $HOME is set (but maybe not ~). Read 'man 5 crontab':
Several environment variables are set up automatically by
the cron(8) daemon. SHELL is set to /bin/sh, and LOGNAME
and HOME are set from the /etc/passwd line of the
crontab's owner. HOME and SHELL may be overridden by set
tings in the crontab; LOGNAME may not.
However, the rest of the env may be minimal, so you may want to set PATH =
whatever, in your crontab and/or use full paths to any scripts, programs
or files because you may not know where you will be running from.

Hi all,
Please give me some help on this Samba question.
I set up a RH 6.1 server running Samba 2.0.5 as a file server in a LAN of 20+
Win98 workstations. Some of the win98 workstations have a real IP address
while others are assigned the 192.168.1.x private addresses.
None of the workstations with private IP addresses can see the Samba in their
Network Neighborhood. But after I replaced the private IP with a real one,
the Samba server showed up and all the shared resources were available.
Can Win9x workstations with private IP (192.168.1.x) connect to a Samba server
and use the shared resources? Is it the problem with Win9x, Linux, or Samba?
Any docs on how to resolve this on-line somewhere? I checked the FAQ on
samba.org but couldn't find any help there.
Thanks for may info and suggestions.

Subject: Problem Running ODBCConfig
Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 04:37:54 GMT
I would like to access an Oracle database running on another server
using the Oracle client for Linux running under Red Hat 7.0. I
downloaded root, unixODBC, RDBS, and the Oracle client rpms and
installed them, and configured them per the directions. When I try to
run ODBCConfig and DataManager I get the following:
ODBCConfig: Symbol `__vt_4QTab' has different size in shared object,

DataManager: Symbol `__vt_4QTab' has different size in shared object,

Segmentation fault
Is there some way to do the configuration without using ODBCConfig?
So then I downloaded the source rpm for unixODBC and tried to compile
and install it. The compilation took a long time (indicated by the
three dots) and then the following happened:

make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.97567 (%build)
It says it can't find -lgcc. What does this mean? How do I fix it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: mpeg encoder for linux.....???
Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 22:59:28 -0600
Can someone tell me where I can get free software or source or whatever to
mpeg encoder...for linux.
I want to make mpeg out of files where each file is a frame...you know what
I mean...30 files make one sec. mpeg of 30fps not encode from streaming
video like camera or vcr tape....
I have this bunch of tga01, tga02, tga03.and I want to make mpeg out of
it..and I looked everywhere on how to encode it into mpeg (or avi. or mov.
or whatever since I found some "avi2mpeg" "stuff on the Net)
What I find it strange is that mpeg has been in use for years now and yet
dont see one bit of software encoder for linux... what give??

I have a DPT SCSI controller, and it does not have much of anything in it's
BIOS. (I haven't seen one in BIOS for a LONG time.) There are DOS
programs to do it, but you need an ASPI driver, and I can't find one. (DPT
was bought out and scrapped by ADAPTEC. Nothing for DPT on their site.)

Then the only thing I can think of is that Bloody Micro$haft have made
*yet another* undocumented change in the file system.
Perhaps it would be easiest if you copied the files you want to keep to
somewhere safe, the remove the logical partition, then in its space
create 2 logical partitions, one each for Winblows and Linux. Linux
fdisk can do this for you easily.

SCSI. I have an old AS/400 2 GB SCSI drive that is formatted to an odd
cluster size.
In LILO, there was a section for RAMDISK. I upgraded my kernel from the
REDHAT site (up2date) and wanted to add it to LILO, but I didn't know hat
to add for the RAMDISK *.IMG entry.
