Subject: broken ppp
Date: 25 May 2001 02:36:55 GMT
big problems getting ppp to work over here...could use some help at this
point (10+ hours put into this so far). i upgraded pppd to 2.4.0 and went
to compile kernel 2.4.4 (up from 2.2.16). when that was done, i went to
dialup to my isp with wvdial (like i've been doing for at least a year).
it dials, connects, and the second pppd launches, disconnects. syslog
puts this into /var/log/messages:
/usr/lib/passwordfd.so: undefined symbol: chap_passwd_hook
Couldn't load plugin /usr/lib/passwordfd.so
...any ideas? i managed to find lots of other people having this same
problem (through dejanews), but none of them had come up with a solution
that would work for me (or for them). basically it seems most people have
concluded that wvdial simply "isn't compatible" with pppd 2.4.0. so i
tried kppp instead of wvdial, and it dials, connects, and goes into a loop
displaying this error over and over:
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
...no idea there. and the same situation with dejanews...i found others
having the same problem/error with kppp, with some followups suggesting
various "solutions" that don't really have much to do with the problem.
i went back to my old kernel (2.2.16) and wvdial misbehaves the same as
under 2.4.4. kppp, though, reports "this kernel has no ppp support" with
2.2.16. no idea there, since i was using that kernel for at least a year
no problem. i'm dialing up with a usr analog modem (not winmodem). ppp
support and support for async serial lines is enabled in my config for
kernel 2.4.4. my system is suse 7.0. i'm open to suggestions.

Hi,
> It is possible that DOS/Windows has made some damage to hdb, but of
> cause the problem can have other causes.
If the drive is damaged - ie messed partion table etc, how would I still be
able to read from the partitions? I've check most of the files which are
easily checkable, and all the configuration files, my source code etc seems
to be readable, and still contains the proper contents etc.
/dev/hda is simply a single 40gb FAT32 partition.
Any ideas on what I could try next? Or should I just bite the bullet and
reinstall Linux + restore from my backups? As I said fsck doesn't complain
at all when scanning these partitions, which makes me think that it is
something else......
If I do reinstall, what should I do to make sure this problem doesn't occur
again? What I did when I installed the present Linux paritions was as
follows:
Left /dev/hda totally alone (it already had Win2K Pro on it...)
Made four paritions on /dev/hdb - one mounted as /boot, one mounted as /, a
Linux Swap partition and one NTFS partition which I used for win2k. Lilo was
placed on /dev/hdb and my BIOS configuration modified to attempt to boot in
the order of A:,D:,C:
I didn't do anything about primary/logical paritions and in fact I don't
quite understand them that well......
If I do the same type of install won't I eventually get into the same
problem?
This setup had been working totally fine for about 2 months, them one day,
BANG, it stopped working.... It wasn't like I booted into Windows for the
first time after installing Linux and then problems occurred.... I've booted
into Windows, restarted booted back into Linux (where my system stays most
of the time) quite a lot.... I don't think it's something with Windows
screwing around with the partition table.
Thanks,
Christopher Fairbairn.

My problem is that I can switch themes (in Gnome or KDE) but I am unable
to install new themes. I double click on the tar ball of the new theme
(this is what the instructions say to do) and nothing happens. On
previous installations (Redhat 7) this feature has functioned
properly. Any ideas?

Even as I write this I'm starting another install of RedHat 7.1. My problem
is that after installation, the gnome taskbar doesn't show at the bottom of
the screen. This has forced me to constantly use KDE instead. I just wanted
to find out whether anyone else was experiencing simillar problems and
whether there are any documented solutions.
Any help will be appreciated.

Subject: shared IRQ
Date: Fri, 25 May 2001 04:18:58 GMT
Examining my kernel bootup messages, I noticed this:
PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 00:09.0
PCI: Found same IRQ used for device 00:07.2
I was aware of this under windows, the devices are my sound card and
modem, and I'd been having trouble with them, though things are fine
now. Considering they are both PNP devices, what is the best way to
deal with this situation?

Hi Dean,
I've setup the router with 2 nic's: the 1st with the ISP-specifications for
connection to the modem. This connection works fine, since I can ping the DNS. The
2nd nic has the specifications for my own network and is connected to my hub.
Works fine as well, since I can ping the router from every pc in the network.

I'm not sure what you mean. In the Freesco-manual everything is rather
straightforward and there's no mention of IP-forwarding (as far as I understand)
May be you can check it: www.freesco.com

You mean that the gateway address for the network-pc's is the adress of the nic in
the router which is connected to the hub instead of ISP given gateway-address.
(But I thought I tried that as well...)
Thank you

in some really awful font. the font doesn't display words well and just
uses spaces for any type of punctuation. i think it may be a KDE thing,

WEll depending on your level, I would pass. I am a novice and do not
like the way it is set up on any topic. If you are looking for a hint on
a keyword or command, It might be ok. I would look elsewhere to learn
Linux.

You can redirect the stderr in bash like this:
gcc hello.c -o hello 2> errors.txt
You might like to try writing your code using an editor like emacs or
xemacs. This allows you to compile the code, showing the errors and
allowing you to locate the errors in the source file. There is access to
debuggers too. Others will no doubt suggest other alternatives,
experiment a bit to find what suits you.

Yes, the machines which you want to connect to the internet must use the IP
address of the local NIC inside your gateway machine as their gateway
address. As a result, if your private network is 192.168.x.y, the machines
must use the IP address of the NIC inside the router which has an address like
192.168.x.y.

You might want to take a look at the following URL's as well:

I am not sure whether Freesco still supports the good old text windows these

My /etc/hosts file is very large but the single entry looks like this:
24.2.89.230 AB12345-A.x.yy.home.com AB12345-A
I'm static.
Using Linuxconf may help (it's on your system), but then you'll have
to play with the client setting under network (and figure out where
everything is).

What I like to do is:
gcc -o hello hello.c 2>&1 | head -18
which only shows the first 18 lines of output. Having hundreds of error
messages can get a bit demoralising and will often find that fixing the
first few errors will eliminate many of the following errors anyway.
