Re: System pauses with AHA 1522 running a Pentuim II 266MMX system
1522 is not a bus master card, it may be the bottleneck, though not sure. Lawrence Michael Brown wrote: When play and watching avi's and multimedia, the system pauses every 3 seconds. One time I opend up the case and looked at the SCSI card while watching an avi file, the LED located on the SCSI card flashed every 3 seconds. So I came to the conclusion that that was causing the pausing motion within the multimedia playback. If this is the problem, sould I get a faster SCSI card and what do you recommend? P.S that LED located on the SCSI card only seems to flash as soon as i load Windows'95 up.

Note [me] is not me and it is another person. [me] I recently bought bru (full version) for Linux. When xbru installs, it creates a /usr/local/lib/bru directory with mode 777. Is this mode required for some reason? Because, if not, it looks a little loose to me? [est] Yes, at the present time it does need to be 777. Bru does some work which requires that mode; however, I've turned this one over to our programming shop to look at a change to this in the future. Thank you for the inquiry. [me] Hmm. Doesn't that seem like a bad idea? What's to keep any of my users from mucking about in there? Nothing. And what about a tcl/tk proficient user?

Re: sig 11 problem when compiling kernel???
because you are using K6, make sure that it is made after week 30. K6 before week 30 will trigger a bug where people cannot compile Linux kernel if there are more than 32MB in their computer. It only happens to Linux world and in fact the bug is uncovered by Linux guys. Frank Sergeant wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Thalia L. Hooker) wrote Anyways, my next step was to 'make zImage'. I kept getting Sig 11 errors though not at the same point of compilation: gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11 ... After reading the FAQ, it seemed that my problems were typical of the ones described by other users. I have tried at least 30 times starting over from: make dep ; make clean make zImage So, has any one had the same thing happen to them and did it turn out to be a RAM problem? Or, how were you able to solve it? I seem to have (nearly) the same problem on my AMD K90 system, except the error I usually get is segmentation fault. Again, it happens at random places during a kernel compile. (I delete the last .obj file and restart the compile with 'make zImage' and the compile continues. Eventually, I make it all the way through with a successful compile.) I also run into it perhaps 1 out of 3 times when I do a large LaTeX compile, again at random places in the compile. I am inclined to believe that the sig 11 and the segmentation faults are indeed symptoms of bad hardware. Last May, I spent several days swapping RAM SIMMs around, hoping to get a good set that would cure the kernel compile symptom, but with no luck. I have tentatively concluded that my problem is not bad RAM but some other hardware problem. My next step, when I have the strength to face it, is to pull all the non-essential cards and try again. I also have a few additional SIMMs to try, just in case all the others I tried were bad. If pulling the cards doesn't solve it, I will see if I can jump the motherboard to reduce the CPU clock speed and/or bus speed. I already tried turning off the CPU and motherboard caches, without that solving it. This really is a fascinating topic, I think. How can we (at least I) get any work done when I don't have full confidence in my working platform? Well, on this same machine, W95 (often) and plain DOS (sometimes) lock up on me. I spend more time in Linux, though, and it essentially never locks up on me, but does bomb out on kernel or LaTeX compiles. At least under Linux, the error is caught gracefully and I continue to have a command prompt and working operating system, whereas W95 is extremely rude in requiring the machine to be powered off. So, I would say, from my experience on this one machine, that, given the same level of faulty hardware, Linux is much more reliable. Now, another interesting point: if indeed the problems I've experienced on this machine are really _hardware_ problems, and even though W95 cannot cope with those failures gracefully, is it possible that W95 runs reliably given flawless hardware? That is, is it possible that W95 gets a worse reputation than it deserves due to unsuspected bad hardware? Perhaps I will take to recommending that customers purchase only Hewlett-Packward PCs. Would that solve it?

SSH/X11 vulnerability
It may be interested to those people using ssh. SSH/X11 Vulnerability September 1997 Systems affected: All systems running Secure Shell (SSH) clients and X11. Description: In a firewalled environment insecure protocols normally are not allowed to cross network boundaries and to enter the protected network environment. SSH is able to relay arbitrary TCP connections, especially X11 traffic is mediated per default. If SSH connections may leave the protected network environment insecure protocols may unconsciously be imported and exploited. Impact: Everyone who can access foreign .Xauthority files on SSH servers is able to access the X server of the SSH client machine. The client machine is open to a variety of attack scenarios while the SSH session exists. Exploit: See References for a detailed description of the exploit. Solution: Client side (administrator): Build SSH clients with --disable_client_x11_forwarding. Set ForwardX11 to no in /etc/ssh_config. Set up packet filters which allow connections destined for port 22 only if originated from a privileged port. Client side (users): Set ForwardX11 to no in ~/.ssh/config. Apply the -x option when using ssh. Server side (administrator): Build SSH servers with --disable_server_x11_forwarding. Set X11Forwarding to no in /etc/sshd_config. References: For a more detailed description of the vulnerability, its consequences and countermeasures see: http://home.braunschweig.netsurf.de/ ~ulrich.flegel/pub/ssh-x11.ps.gz --- Copyright (c) 1997 Ulrich Flegel, [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

If you're planning on upgrading (or partially upgrading) to libc6, check out my Debian libc5 to libc6 Mini-HOWTO which I post here about weekly and which can be found at http://www.gate.net/~storm/FAQ/ Another possibility is not to use true Motif, but LessTif. I've did non-maintainer releases of updated LessTif packages, both for libc6 and (in the alternative locations) libc5. These appear to work quite well (or nobody is using them): I've not seen or received bug reports about them. No, because lesstif is Motif 1.2 and not 2.0 compliance.

Read the information on dpkg and dselect in the debian and install docs.booted the Rescue floppy and went into the shell. From what I can see, neither dpkg or dselect is included (or can be run from the shell) in the base installation setup. (ARRRH..did I mention yet that I'm having fun? grin).

Re: X problem after update from REX to BO (detailed error messages now)
I took a look at the output of the X server in an earlier post and it already uses xfs for the fonts. But you have to configure xfs so that it looks in the right place for the fonts. Take a look at the 'catalogue' line in /etc/X11/xfs/config. You have to set this to exactly the set of font dirs that you have. Xfs is very unforgiving if you specify an unexisting or empty directory (dumps core on my computer). I encountered the same problem when I wanted to start using xfs for the fonts and found that I had to remove the '100dpi' directory from the 'catalogue' line. It now works fine for me. What is the xfs for? Why using it? Though I don't this daemon, I have no problem using X11. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: X problem after update from REX to BO (detailed error messages now)
Xfs is the X Font Server. You won't have much problems if you don't use it, but it seems to be better than letting the X server manage the fonts in some cases. For example, you don't have to gunzip all fonts if you are using an X server that doesn't understand gzipped fonts. And of course you can use one font server to serve a whole network of X servers (I have no idea what the performance would be). do you mean that X11 uses the xfs if the daemon is running, otherwise, it does it by its own?

IP address and ipfwadm
I am using dialup PPP and need to run ipfwadm everytime I connect to my ISP. I know that I can put ipfwadm into /etc/rc file. What is the best/easy way to get the IP address other than using ifconfig or route (they are not good because the output is more than one line)? ipfwadm -A -a -P My IP address go here -D 0/0 Lawrence -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Newbie going crazy........part 2
** Reply to note from Lawrence Lucier [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun, 21 Sep 1997 01:28:15 PST Howdy all...:-) Still having problems with trying to install DebianI have included my original message below but am also providing some new information on this: The boot floppy will proceed loading various drivers until this one is displayed: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Anyone have any idea what driver Debian loads next? Also I have a old Herc amber monitor hooked up to this computercould this be a source of potential problems (eg: not the right video driver being loaded?) Can't see how it would be considering everything has been texted based during the install but thought I might as well ask anyways. Can anyone suggest a URL for a good FAQ or primer which covers installing Debian...the one I have is kinda scant on information regarding install problems.
