Re: pppd "not replacing existing default route to eth0" [solved]
Thanks for the quick response Ed.

Why do you think that? The log file says that the problem is a routing one. There is no route to the internet, as ppp has not replaced the default gateway that was already in place. What you need to find out is where the current default route is coming from, and why it's there. (169.254 is a windows auto config IP???) This would be easy to test, before you bring ppp up delete the default route with: route del default and see what happens.

about memory leak when I call gethostbyname at platform Redhat Linux 7.2
emergence problem! I
need your help!
Platfrom Rredhat
Linux 7.2, I called the system function gethostbyname, then I used memory leak
tools(mtrace and valgrind) to trace memory leak, I found the gethostbyname
having a memory leak.
I can use command
"man freehostent", but I can not use, the gcc compiler told me the function
"freehostent" not found. What can I do?
My example source as
follow :
#include #include
#include #include
#include #include
#include typedef unsigned int
u_int32;char serv[2][256]={{"192.168.1.168"},{"ntp.psh.com.cn"}};
int main(int argc, char
*argv[]){ mtrace(); u_int32 num; //unsigned int32; struct hostent
*hp; if ((hp = gethostbyname(serv[1]) ) != 0)
{ memmove((char *)&num, hp->h_addr,

More than likely the mouse doesn't like the KVM or the KVM doesn't like the mouse. I've seen this before. Try a different mouse. Sometime the mouse doesn't re-initialize properly when the KVM signals it to. Sometimes the KVM doesn't wait long enough for the mouse to re-initialize either.

Do the static routes include a static default route? If so, then you are probably correct in your guess. At this point the obvious answer is to "experiment". Making sure you keep a copy of your configuration files, delete the static routes you guess may be causing the problem. If that clears things up with regards to Internet connectivity...then you may be all the way thereor part of the way there. Depending on your network topology you may have to add additional static routes to compensate for the new default route.

Before someone tries this and finds a problem, I should point out that I
have done this on an IDE system using ext2 filesystems and booting with
'linux text'.
On systems with scsi, ext3, reiserfs, raid, etc. it will probably fail
unless you do a little work and manage to provide modules built for the
boot kernel. Updates disk, perhaps?
I just did another install to verify that it worked, and the only problem
I found was that the NIC wasn't found at install time, probably because
the driver couldn't be loaded.

RE: newbie question: how to speed up linux
I'm just going from my limited experience... I've had RH on a PII-200 w/ 128MB and w/ 256MB, a PII-233 w/ 256 MB RAM, and an AMD K something or other 300. Running an X environment on any of the above was not much fun. Given those setups, I found it less of a hassle to run in the shell. I spent far more time being productive than "waiting" for X apps to respond. KDE and Gnome would "run" but they didn't respond well. This all could've been my setup at the time, who knows... I do know that any windowing environment is going to be resource intensive. I now run on a PIII-450 with 512 MB RAM, a Voodoo 3D, a 30GB Maxtor 7200, and a 4GB Quantum Bigfoot. No complaints here!

What MTU would you suggest? -- Regards, +---+-+ | Peter Kiem| E-Mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | Zordah IT | Mobile: +61 0414 724 766| | IT Consultancy &| WWW : www.zordah.net | | Internet Hosting| ICQ : "Zordah" 81 | +---+-+ -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

I think all you have to do is install the smp verion of the kernel, then boot from it. This is what I did to enable my SMP server. I installed the Red Hat SMP Kernel and kernel headers from RPM.

I have a PII-266Mhz with 160 MB RAM. I run RedHat 7.3 with Gnome. I usually have several xterms open, plus Evolution, Opera and the Yahoo Messenger, and the speed is not a problem for me. My impression is that you don't need more RAM. Do a "ps -axfu" to see which processes you are running. Maybe you have something running in the background that you don't need. Take a look at the "top" command, also. Another suggestion is to "purge" Evolution mailboxes, as these can get really big. I don't remember the exact command to do that, and I'm in Windows now (I have a network adapter, that I use to connect to my wife's laptop, which I have not gotten to run under Linux). -- Saul Arias <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

I am stumped.. I've only seen this behavior twice. Once was when I was compiling something and I didn't have enough swap. It was a long time ago and I can't remember what it was, but it forced me into using a swapfile until I got it built. The second time was when I had a ram module going bad. I didn't know it was flaky at the time and it passed memtest. But it finally started locking during boot. It failed memtest after it reached that stage. After replacing it the first thing I did was build a kernel. It worked just fine from then on. -- XP: The ME of NT. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

RE: newbie question: how to speed up linux
Just remember...even though Linux is reporting your RAM as used, it's not all actually being "used". Take a look at your "cached" and "-/+ buffers" to get an idea of what's actually in use.

But how long before X, etc cache starts taking all this. That's one way to have performance tank. > I'm running Gnome.

Just a casual observations, based on my previous system which was 256M Ram, 512 Swap, running just X (no gnome or kde): On a clean boot, all is great for maybe a week. During this time X memory consumption slowly increases, I guess due to caching, etc. Eventually swap usage increases also, of course. At some point, usually around 75% full, swap usage becomes a severe performance hindrance (at what point this happens depends on kernel version -- some are much worse than others). Something that was very fast, becomes an egg-sucking dog. So my solution, when I couldn't stand it anymore, was to restart X. This frees up all the various X memory. For me, this was every 7-14 days, or so. It seems X-4.2 is much better about all this BTW. Now I am on a 1G machine, and it just isn't an issue. I run X 30+ days with no performance detriment. Hardly any swap is used. I would guess these issues would surface faster with memory hogs such as kde or gnome, etc. If I had 192M RAM for my usage, I'd want want probably at least 700M swap to avoid this particular situation. -- Hal Burgiss -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Re: newbie question: how to speed up linux
You didn't say which desktop you're using, but both the gnome and kde GUIs are pretty resource intensive. One possibility is to try a leaner desktop like xfce (www.xfce.org). You should be able to switch back and forth between it and what you're using now. If you're using gnome and want to stick with it, you can really speed things up by using gmc to draw the desktop instead of nautilus. It's not as pretty but it is faster and more stable. Another thing I do (I'm not sure how much difference this makes) is to install processor-specific kernel and glibc packages. You can find the latest i686 binaries for both in en/os/i686 at your favorite redhat update mirror. For the record, I have a celeron 433 with 384mb ram and run the ximian gnome desktop (with gmc instead of nautilus) on redhat 7.2, with i686-specific versions of the kernel and glibc packages. I have no complaints whatsoever with the stability and performance of this setup, although that wasn't the case before I got rid of nautilus. Who knows, maybe it's better now. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

I have a Dell Latitude 233 MHz laptop which I run RH 7.3 and KDE. It's not fast but I use it as a lot when I don't want to sit in front of my workstation, especially as I have wireless and can be anywhere in the house. I have two similar machines, I installed windows on the other and it practically stopped it was so slow. I think you expect too much from such a slow machine.

Compared to when I run Windows 95 and Windows 2000 on the same computer, almost everything seems to take for ever. Clicking "New Message" in Evolution until the new message turns up takes a couple of seconds. Starting OpenOffice 1.0 Writer somewhere between 30 seconds and a minute. Recieving 500 mails or so from my ISP somewhere between 15 och 30 minutes. My computer is a PII-233, ATI Mach64 3D Rage IIC for video, 192 MB RAM and 2 ATA33 hard drives. What's the bottleneck? Could anything besides plugging in more RAM be done to boost the performance?

Re: How do I start wine?
Hi Joe. Now I have edit the config file so I only got this error. [roo[root@localhost .wine]# wine c:drive/vb/vb.exe Invalid path 'c:\windows' for windows directory: does not exist Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration file.

gcc 3
hi, i tend to upgrade my gcc version 2 onto version 3, but have one question: as the two compilers are not binary-compatible, is it true that i need to recompile each and every library in my system (*-devel packages)? and will there be an "easy" upgrade path, if redhat switches onto gcc3? yours josef -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Ok. /home/knut/d:drive=D:\ /home/knut/c:drive=C:\ /home/knut/cdrom=E:\ I think that is all.
