(I'm French) I've never heard "La Linux". It is masculine as are
'ordinateur' (computer) and 'système d'exploitation' (OS).
If someone says "la Linux", I would think for example of a car
('voiture', feminine) whose brand is Linux, or the soap for
washing-machine ("la lessive") called Linux (I've heard there is one).

(half-solved) Re: Compiling kernel with patches
Okay, it seems to work: - I had a PATCH_KERNEL=YES in my compilation script, instead of PATCH_THE_KERNEL - Anyway, it did not work anymore, whatever the value of --added-patches on the command line. - The debianlogo patch can be applied and un-applied without any problem, and it compiles. (For some unknown reason, sometimes it failed, when applying or unapplying... I had to re-untar the source to reverse the patch) - The 'right' solution is to add 'patch_the_kernel=YES' in /etc/kernel-pkg.conf. Now the patch is automatically unapplied in a 'make-kpkg clean', and applied when compiling. The real question for me is why '--added-patches=debianlogo' is not enough. Is it some typo too obvious to be seen ? PATCHES=debianlogo nice -n 19 make-kpkg --append-to-version=$VERS --revision $2 --added-patches=$PATCHES kernel_image (And I have now to see if ALL patches are now applied or now, and if debianlogo is ok with a 2.4.21. ) -- Christophe Courtois - Ostwald, Alsace, France http://www.courtois.cc/ - Clé PGP : 0F33E837 -- "I called Linus at home to fix a problem on the latest kernel and he just hung up on me.

-ck patches and sound with skips
Hi, I've applied the -ck patches to my 2.4.20 kernel (lowlatency, preempt, O(1), rmap and other patches). At first sight, KDE and X seem to be more responsive, but I can hear xmms skip when I click on something. It was almost never the case with previous unpatched kernels. Priority of X is 0 (changed from -10 as suggesting on CK's website) and others are at 0. Renicing xmms to -10 helps much only X niceness is 0. The computer is a Athlon600 MHz. Has someone seen this problem ? Is it normal behaviour ? (And how to set xmms always to -10 by default ?)

SOLVED !!!(Re: Palm Zire 71 & Debian)
Okay, according to what I've found on Google (comp.sys.palmtops 2003-05-26 23:44:38 PST), a 2.4.20 kernel does not automatically links visor and usbserial. [Stewart, which kernel do you use?] The steps for a Zire 71 are : - be sure /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 exist (/dev/pilot is only a link to ttyUSB1) (it's more complicated for devfs, I don't use it) - chmod a+rw /dev:ttyUSB* The kernel must support USB, and especially USB serial and the Visor module. The key is to tell usbserial which (provided usbcore, usb-ohci or usb-uhci are already loaded) : insmod usbserial vendor=0x830 product=0x60 insmod visor "tail /var/log/kern.log" tells if it was successfull (opens ttyUSB0 and 1). Then I could launch (as a normal user) kpilot and make a backup. (But I don't think I will Kpilot...) I'll add the two modules in /etc/modules for the next reboot. -- Christophe Courtois - Ostwald, Alsace, France http://www.courtois.cc/ - Clé PGP : 0F33E837 -- Aucune race ne peut prospérer si elle n'apprend qu'il y a autant de dignité à cultiver son champ qu'à composer un poème.

Automatic renice
Do you know a way to set the niceness of a process without typing renice
at the command line after each reboot? Especially when renicing to -10,
which needs to be root...
Problem : xmms skips sometimes due to the -ck patches ; I'd like to keep
the patches, KDE is much more responsive, and setting xmms to -10
(everything else is 0).
As a last solution, I'd cron a script as root to renice automatically,
but I can't obtain a list of the xmms processes (' ps -A | grep xmms |
awk "{print $1}" ' gives the whole line, same with 'cut -f1 -d" "'

network / networking scripts + firewall script
Hi, 1) My old P75 has a /etc/init.d/network script, which dates back to the first installation (slink). If I remember correctly, this script is obsolete (not found on a fresh woody). I used it a long time ago to connect to cable, before I had a router, I have no idea what the original content was. Can I get rid of it now ? Is /etc/init.d/networking enough ? (Both scripts are called in /etc/init.d/rcX.d/) What else must I check ? 2) Where would you put a hand-made firewall script ? Is there a 'default' location ?

2.2->2.4 : kernel conflict problem, NICs not recognized
Hi, I want to upgrade the kernel of a Woody from 2.2.22 to 2.4.25. The computer is an old Pentium 75 with two NICs (NE2000) ; everything goes well with 2.2 (io and irq in modules.conf), but NICs are not recognized with 2.4, even with insmod followed by the io and irq parameters. The module is ne.o , which needs 8390.o. When loading this last one, I obtain this: Using /lib/modules/2.4.25.v/kernel/drivers/net/8390.o /lib/modules/2.4.25.v/kernel/drivers/net/8390.o: unresolved symbol bitreverse_Rbaeb160c /lib/modules/2.4.25.v/kernel/drivers/net/8390.o: unresolved symbol crc32_le_Ra34f1ef5 => No idea where the problem could be. Just searching for the cause of the conflict led me to find the same definition of bitreverse in ksyms.c and crc32.c. As I don't know much about the kernel, I have no idea if this is really a conflict and/or if this involves the "CRC32" module that I have too. Any idea is welcomed, thanks in advance! tartine:/usr/src/linux-2.4.25# grep -r "bitreverse" * include/linux/crc32.h:extern u32 bitreverse(u32 in); include/linux/crc32.h:#define ether_crc(length, data) bitreverse(crc32_le(~0, data, length)) include/linux/modules/crc32.ver:#define __ver_bitreversebaeb160c include/linux/modules/crc32.ver:#define bitreverse _set_ver(bitreverse) kernel/ksyms.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(bitreverse); lib/crc32.c:u32 bitreverse(u32 x) lib/crc32.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(bitreverse); lib/crc32.c:init = bitreverse(init); lib/crc32.c:crc2 = bitreverse(crc1); lib/crc32.c:if (crc1 != bitreverse(crc2)) lib/crc32.c: crc1, crc2, bitreverse(crc2)); -- Christophe Courtois - Ostwald, Alsace, France http://www.courtois.cc/ -- Join the Army, travel to exciting new places, meet interesting new people, and kill them. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Tora & PostgreSQL
Hi, I've tried TORA from both woody and sarge, but after launching it, it always says "No enabled connection provider, plugin probably missing". No base or connection can ce selected after that.

I've set this directory in the OPtions box, without any result. psql, pgaccess and co work perfectly. A search on Google was not helpful. Any idea or somewhere to RTFM would be appreciated, I'm lost :( Thanks in advance. -- Christophe Courtois - Ostwald, Alsace, France http://www.courtois.cc - Clé PGP : 0F33E837 -- "We can, in the first chapter, explain to people what the meaning of life is.
