Configuring TV tuner card Prolink PlayTV Pro
Hello. Recently I have acquired a TV tuner card. It is a Prolink PlayTV Pro (PV-BT878P+ W/FM Rev. 8E). But I am having difficults in configuring it in my Red Hat Linux 7.2 (with upgrades) system, even after reading the bttv driver documentation on the kernel, the xawtv manual and the BTTV Mini-HOWTO. I would apreciate any tips from people using a TV tuner card with Linux. Also I would like to know which options I have for watching TV on Linux, besides the xawtv program. Regards.

If you subsequently (in the same program) did something like this (untested): system ("echo $MyTest"); you'd see it is set just fine. The reason you don't see it being set when you run your program from a shell is because environment variables are an attribute of the shell/ program and are visible only to THAT program or its children.

go into XF86Config-4 and make sure the device is set to use the r128 chipset. Did the install detect the card? Normally the r128 works with the SVGA package that comes with XFree86.

RE: Automatically configure ulimit
Ben: I'm trying to increase the number of open files with "ulimit -n ", this operation requires super user privilege. Here is what I've found out so far. It seems that modifying either /etc/profile or /etc/bashrc will not work for my purpose since this runs under the user's UID. Another option would of been allowing a "su" for /bin/ulimit by modifying /etc/sudoers, unfortunately ulimit is built in to /bin/bash so this is not a possibility for me. I did find one hack that mentioned that you had to replace init with a different version. see /usr/share/emacs/20.7/etc/ulimit.hack for details, this hack modifies the size of the files not the number of files. So this hack will not work for me. I'm thinking that maybe recompiling the kernel or bash would also do the trick. Another option is possibly modifying the settings via /proc file system, do not know where to start on this one. A third option is using inittab to launch a script that sets the desired ulimit and then fires off migetty, or set this in ssh somehow; all the user sessions will be via ssh.

xhost and dhcp
Hi, I have an IBM Thinkpad running Red Hat 7.2. Its networking protocol is DHCP. I can't run a remote X session on this machine. For example, I put it on our network, and do 'xhost +192.168.230.201', which is a machine on our Linux NIS network. Then when I log in to 192.168.230.201 from the Thinkpad, and try to run an X app, like Netscape, I get a message like "cannot connect to newt.emeraldbiostructures.com:0.0 [the Thinkpad]". Is there something in addition to 'xhost' that needs to be done to run a remote X session on a DHCP machine?

RE: confuse with errata to rpm nicely
2512588Kb(Pensacola 4 disks) x3,4,6,12 times a year still seems like that little bitty 46900Kb is a bargan to me. About all you really save is that 468000Kb gets a bit smaller. Oh and I am no expert on how to make a custom distro the first time I looked into it was in Late January. If you can mount an iso, rm, mv, edit 1 file "comps" and run the command "># genhdlist --withnumbers /location/of/disc1 /location/of/disc2" you can make a custom distro that works great. You will need to use 700mb discs though as the patches boost the size of the iso files. If you don't want to burn the additional cds just copy the contents of the RPMS directory from disc2 to disc1. Share that directory. Then you can use the boot floppy or original 7.2 boot CD and do a network install from http, nfs, or ftp. -Original Message- From: Ed Wilts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 08, 2002 1:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: confuse with errata to rpm nicely On Fri, Mar 08, 2002 at 12:53:28PM -0500, Paul Hamm wrote: > Like I said grab the iso files grab all the patches and roll your > own.

RE: confuse with errata to rpm nicely
Ed you would have even more of those iso downloads not less. How many time should they update the iso every year? 3,4,6,12 how many people that already have 7.2 or going to grab 7.2- how many would download every single one? Whenever RH releases a new batch of isos all the mirrors and rhn tank for a week or 2. Thats what you could expect what 12 times a year maybe? Like I said grab the iso files grab all the patches and roll your own. I did and have a nice batch of bootable cds patched to 2002-02-14. I even called it rh7.2.1 ;-) Was a pain as I did the whole thing manually but a few perl scripts and it could be automated except the disc swap. -Original Message- From: Ed Wilts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 08, 2002 12:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: confuse with errata to rpm nicely On Fri, Mar 08, 2002 at 10:08:58AM -0500, Paul Hamm wrote: > Err Ed how is downloading 4 iso images on a regular basis for people with > slow connections going to help them out? rsync running on cron will > download all the updates available in the middle of the night that you have > not already got.

Are you using ipchains for your firewall? It is the default for RH 7x. If so take a look at the output of ipchains -nvL. This will list all the rules inplace with counters that increment each time a rule is used you can look before and after a service ntp restart to see if it is a rule on your box keeping it from getting back to you. I usually turn logging on on my deny/reject rules so I can see what is being stopped.

Re: Redhat Transition issue
Hi, Transistions can be a pain. If you write your own software you really need one system to install, fix recompile, and debug until it works. Somethings like corelword perfect you can get to work by loading the c library that came with 6.2 on your computer along with 7.2. I know it is not fun even if everything moves gracefully it is a pain to have to check every function ect to make sure it works. One of the advantages of doing it yourself is you get controll one of the disadvantages is you have to create the fixes if the underlying componets change. Sometimes there is no other option than late nights and hardwork. Developer lists for software that interacts with your private software and documentation from change logs should make it easier to figure out what you need to change.

All the Red Hat errata say that. Sometimes they mean it and sometimes they don't. What you have to realize is that almost all of errata fix security or major bugs, so you really should apply them and keep yourself up to date.

Compilers are in charge of matching your source with the actual architecture you have, so you do not necessarilly have to learn architecture specific code, and you achieve high portability. But, some processes are better performed if you make routines in machine language and use the best capabilities of your hardware, and if you use them, then your programs become hardware dependent. A good example is Linux itself. It exploits the characteristics of 32 bit processors, but it wont work in 8 or 16 bit processors. So Linux for INTEL is dependent on the processor family.

Re: FTP problems in RH 7.1
Thanks for the reply. It's not quite that simple, but in replying to your note you actually helped me work through a few things in my mind (some sleep helped too!) As I mentioned before, ftp is enabled and runs if I ftp localhost. I can also telnet to port 21 on the box. I've since remembered that ftp uses control and data ports, which is why telnet to port 21 works. Things I have tried are overriding DNS reverse lookups in /etc/ftpaccess, and I am looking into some of the passive mode configurations. I see the exact same behavior on my home system which running 7.2. My home box is addressed as 192.168.1.10. On that box, I can ftp to localhost, but if I try to ftp to the box from another client on the network, the connection is "closed by remote host." syslog shows only: Mar 8 07:17:02 cyclops ftpd[1499]: lost connection to 192.168.1.101 [192.168.1.101] Mar 8 07:17:02 cyclops ftpd[1499]: FTP session closed The machine does not have a FQDN, is addressed as 192.168.1.10. The client is using a DHCP address which also does not exist in DNS. I tried adding the DCHP address to /etc/hosts and it now allows the connection, though it is still quite slow to connect. Should I try grabbing wuftpd source and recompiling without DNS support, or are there other config parameters I should explore?

AW: RH 7.2: No access with Exceed 6.0
Thanks Davis for your hints... ...now, the access from Exceed to my RH7.2-Server is working: I changed the network-card: INTEL Ether Express ISA -> 3Com 3C509 ISA The INTEL-card obviously is said, to have timing problems. Some BIOS-Administrations allow adjusting the timesetting-parameter; not so the BIOS on my FSC PRIMERGY 470... I still wondering because of the "(Willing, but /etc/X11/xdm/Xwilling failed)" message in the XDMCP Display Manager Chooser-window. Other servers normally message: "(2 users load: 1.0, 1.0, 1.0)", by example So I'm asking me (the others interested too), where this is to configure... The chkconfig rexec on is without any effect.

Hi, in the flow! OK I remark that we can download Source of RPMs. There is just one for many architectures available.

All the Red Hat errata say that. Sometimes they mean it and sometimes they don't. What you have to realize is that almost all of errata fix security or major bugs, so you really should apply them and keep yourself up to date. Rarely do errata offer new features or upgrades to specific packages - that's why, for example, Red Hat patched php3 for Red Hat Linux 6.2 rather than go straight to php4. You get much better compatibility this way. So, the bottom line is that you try to patch just netfilter and see if you get any dependency failures, and if not, you're done. If you do get a dependency failure, then apply the dependencies as Red Hat suggested. You should, however, at your earliest convenience, apply all the errata. This is no different than any other major computer OS vendor. What Red Hat really needs to produce is 7.2-1 which has all the errata in it up to a certain date and let people download the iso and do upgrades that way. Especially for new installations in areas with poor network connectivity, this would save many hours or even days of work.
