Subject: How to have an application included in a Linux distribution?
Date: 23 Apr 2001 02:14:29 -0600
Does anyone here have advice or suggestions on how I can get an application
I wrote included in some of the well-known distributions - Red Hat, Suse,
Caldera, etc.? This application (free software) is pretty sophisticated,
and I think people would benefit from it if they know it exists, which is
more likely if they can find it on their distributioin CD. Of course, what
I would get out of it is more exposure for my application.
One obvious step is to email the distributor and invite them to include
it in their next release, but the hard part, I think, is doing this in
a way that it doesn't get ignored or deleted as one of the many "nuisance"
emails in someones mailbox.
Any suggestions, pointers, tips, etc. would be appreciated. (I have taken
one obvious step, which is to package the software in rpm format.)
For those wondering what the application is, it's a stock charting and
technical analysis package:

Thanks!

I'm a starter in RH linux. I downloaded StarOffice5.2 and intalled as
root.
But after I logined as a user, I can't run it. As I read in red hat
man page, I can launch it with run setup at the first time. But it
doesn't change anything.
Do I need to install it as a user who uses it? Or is there another way
to do it smoothly?

Privacy Under Assault: Can Encryption Safeguard the Internet?
Tuesday, April 24, 2001

Reception to follow

New York, N.Y.
Web users want assurances that their communications or e-commerce will
remain private without having to worry that their ideas, or even their
identities, are stolen and every detail of their lives will be laid bare
while others profit from personal data collection.
Digital threats arise from all quarters, including corporations and
marketing firms, potential employers and credit agencies, health and
government establishments, as well as outright snoopers and
opportunists. Can improved technologies protect privacy on the Internet or
is privacy a casualty of the digital age?
The Marconi Forum brings together leading figures from technology,
government, journalism, business and law to examine how-- or whether-- our
right to privacy can be secured from digital incursions.

Subject: XFree86 4.0.2 and Matrox Millenium G450
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 08:36:53 GMT
Hi,
I bought a Matrox Millenium G450 and I tried to re-configure 3.3.6 to use
it. I selected the G400 in xf86config and that *only* worked with
1024x768x16, nothing else, not even lower. In windows I use the card at
1280x1024x16 and I want to use it that way in Linux too.
So I decided to upgrade my X server to 4.0.2. So, I did that, chose Matrox
Millenium G400 in xf86config and started X. That crashed my entire system.
Total lockup. Blank screen.
When I just ran XFree86 -probeonly, it starts moaning about a mga_hal module
not being there. Is that one needed? Can anybody shed some light on this?
TIA
Bart
PS
Right now I am using Windows, because I need to get some work done.

Not directly related to your question, but I'd certainly try to get your
app posted on freshmeat (http://freshmeat.net). After a couple of
weeks or so, the # of hits to your app should give you an idea of how
popular it is with the Linux community, as well as give you some
ammunition if/when you approach the distributors.
Of course, you probably already did this...I didn't bother to check.
best of luck

If you want to read data from another partition of you hard disk, you
need NTFS support, simply recompile your kernel and add the NTFS support.
See the Kernel-HOWTO for information about how to recompile your kernel.
If you have a remote NT machine (connected trough a network) and you
want to read the data from it, use Samba to connect to the remote
machine. See the Samba-HOWTO for information.

No, it's not. NS v6.x includes AIM, lots of commercial links,
etc. They started with the Mozilla code base but extended it
somewhat. I have found it less stable than Mozilla v0.81 but
perhaps NS is based on an earlier version of the Mozilla code.

I few things I know that had to be recompiled for large file support
were bzip2, glibc, txtutils, filutils, perl, sh_utils, and maybe
a few other things.
You just may have to recompile glibc or maybe upgrade it (probably
not necessary).

I'm running RedHat 6.2. I get this message when using a non-RedHat ditro of
the kernel. When I use a version of the kernel from RedHat (source code
installed from RPM), no problem.
Don't know what the cause is - I only need to use a non-RedHat kernel when I
need my Token Ring card on the laptop (the Madge driver won't work with the
RedHat ones ....)

Hi
I've been experiencing several kernel-panics. With as result an uptime never
longer then 21days, usually shorter even.
A friend of mine suggested a mem-test, which I ran for a couple of
hours...no result. Will be running it an all-nighter somewhere this week,
'cause it is getting VERY irritating.
I'd appreciate all suggestions on what to check, and how, or other tips if
you have any on this subject. For convenience I added the latest
kernel-panic below. Maby it
makes sence to some of you... it's jibberish to me :(
Thanks in advance, hope you send me lots of usefull suggestions,

Recompile your non-red-hat kernel and enable NFS in the kernel
itself. If you don't need NFS, disable it removing the link
in the /etc/rc.d/rc?.d directories.

I have the same kernal and Suse version 7.1 as yourself, so I should be
able to help. I also have an Abit 6BE II (mine is revision 2). You
shouldnt have to compile the alsa sound drivers, SuSe installation
configured the card correctly and my CD, MP3 and wav files played correctly.
I had a problem with midi, but solution was to load package awesfx and a
soundfont.
Back to your problem, what volume levels have you configured the card with?
I have 70% set with yast2, it is possible you may be overdriving your
amplifier and causing distortion or feedback. You can email me direct if
you like

I wonder if this is the same problem that I'm having when I use the

I run Redhat 6.2 on my IBM Thinkpad laptop. Networking works fine both
at home and in the office, so I know my hardware and software is

service claims they don't support Linux :-(

For Debian, try:

If you (personally) don't have a Debian system or access to one, you
might be better off finding a different maintainer to do this stuff for
you.
It took me about 15 seconds to find this from Debian's web page. I
assume that RH et al. have similar resources available.

What's your monitor vertical refresh rate? If it's 60 fps, then
you probably have DRI running right. DRI can't display more fps
than your monitor can show anyway.
