RE: X11 S3 installation
-Original Message- From: Doug Thistlethwaite [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 21, 1998 12:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: X11 S3 installation ... the docs you will need for x are in /usr/doc/x11... I was not able to find the exact docs you were talking about, but I did find the program that creates XF86Config and X11 seems to work somewhat... Boy that script asked me some questions I had to dig pretty deep to figure out! [Vladislav Papayan x285] When I configured my no-name S3Virge card I used XF86Setup program that is now standard for XFree86. This is a graphical application that starts up assuming that you have a video card that is a lowest common denominator for all the video cards -- then lets you pick you video an monitor -- then it generates /etc/X11/XF86Setup file on exit. ... I like fvwm95 to be the manager of choice... I downloaded and installed fvwm95 and installed it using dserver. It did not change the appearance of the window manager very much. I did find a INSTALL readme file that talked about copying files to a source directory and compiling them... Is this required, or was that something left over from a generic unix/linux install distribution? Can you point me in the direction of where I need to look to get the fvwm95 working? What WM is the easiest to install / configure? [Vladislav Papayan x285] KDM (in my opinion) However, what made me use fvwm2 is the fact that I like a program called XFCE that works great with fvwm2 -- this is basically like a tool bar that alows you to create buttons for you favorit applications without modifying any configuration files -- just a very user friendly way to use X11 system. By the way, to install XFCE -- I downloaded the rpm file (for glibc -- because I use the latest glibc) then used alien package to convert it to debian package and than just installed it with dpkg -i . My X11 wm currently creates an xterm when it starts. Once placed on the screen, it does not let me resize or move it. Is this normal? [Vladislav Papayan x285] I I think this is a default for most of the fvwm configuration file What is the proper way to shutdown the X11 system when I want to work on my system from the console? I have been changing the init level to 1 to get out of X11, but there must be a better way then this! [Vladislav Papayan x285] Most of the time I do not shutdown X11 when I want to work on from console. I just do CTRL+F1 or CTRL+F2 or CTR+F.. (just not F7) to switch to console mode (I just learned 3 month ago -- and it is better then shutting down X11 every time). Changing init level to 1 I think does more than you want because it is probably (I am guessing here) switches you to single user mode. Thanks!

[Q] Mesa + gcc 2.8.1 +libc6 (Linux)
Hello, I compiled Mesa with gcc 2.8.1 + the latest libc6 (that includes pthreads 0.7) on Linux. I tried make linux-386-pthreads, make linux-386-elf, make linux-elf All the sample programs core dump. The debugger cannot step through the core file. I also tried putting a printf right the main declaration -- does not even go there. I also tried one by one eliminate the compile switches (all of them, including the ones that have to do with optimization) -- did not make a difference. When building linux-386-pthread combination I had to remove -ansi -pedantic flags otherwize the compiler complained -- but that should have influenced anything. My other programs compile and work fine (they do not use threads, but use the adopted version of STL and linked to libstdc++) I also notice that even if I do not specify to compile threaded version of Mesa, ldd reports that I am linking to libpthread.so -- which my programms do not show. And one more thing: linux-386-pthread option of Mesa makefiles does not build the shared version of Mesa and Glut libs -- is there a limitation? Was anyone able to get this combination of compiler lib and Mesa (2.6) to work on Linux (debian - hamm) ?

[Q] XDM -- how to reconfigure
Hello, When installing debian I was suggested by the installation program to use XDM to start X windows. I now understand that I do not want that. However I can only use startx command (what I was using before the new installation) if logged in as root. I would like to use startx command to start xwindows for regular users. Is there a way to reconfigure xwindows or xdm to ask me that question about whether I want to use xdm again so I can answer 'No'. Another question is: I would like to know whether it is possible to switch back and forth between Xwindows and a full screen terminal (sort of like in NT where I can have a full screen command promt and switch from and to it).

It is called set6x86 -- it looks very promising as it can tell the processor to go into a special low consumption mode when it is on HALT instruction (which is 90% of the time).

[Q] Several questions
Hello, as of this Sunday I downloaded and updated almost of my packages that now compiled with gnulibc6 (with exception of X11 stuff). I ran into a couple of problems and am not sure if I caused them. 1. After installing ldso, libc6, I installed libreadline2 -- that some how deleted a link to my old readline that bash was dependent on - so after I logged off I could not login into the system from anywhere -- bash was not executing. Then I tried to go into the system with the Debian installation diskettes (I have a version that is based on kernel v 2.0.6) -- to see if the old libreadline was saved somewhere but it was not. I mounted my hd with /usr/bin partition to see if I can run dpkg and install the latest version of bash -- but dpkg did not run at all (this is what I do not really understand: while in /target/usr/bin tried ./dpkg and nothing happened). Before all that I tried to do the upgrade using dselect but the update program exited with status 1 when installing libreadline -- this is why I started installing the lib myself. I fixed the problem by doing two things: a. substituted bash with ash (shell that comes on the installation disk) -- this allowed my system to boot up to the point that hd are mounted (all the init scripts use bash as a default shell) b. changed my passwd file to allow root to login with cshell instead of bash shell -- that allowed me get into the system and upgrade bash. I just would like to know if next time I decide to do anything like that -- what would be the preferred sequence of actions. 2. After installing new bash -- I tried to compile my programs nothing worked. The problem was that my make files relied on determining operating system type by looking at OSTYPE env variable. That variable was always defined as 'linux' now OSTYPE=gnu-linux. I just wanted to know if this is now a standard and will be the same for all the other linux distribution -- or should I use something more stable to determine the OS type from makefiles. 3. gcc crashes consistently when compiling YACL (one of the C++ libraries I use) I get SIG 11 type of error. Compiling kernel though seems to be OK -- that is why I thing that there is something wrong with a C++ portion of it. I did install all the latest dev versions of glibc and g++ and the latest CPP (I am not sure though if it has been updated for the latest gcc) Is there anything else I should install?

[Q] StarOffice and Spell check
Hi, I installed a version (3.1) of StarrOficce (ENGLISH) -- but when I click on Spell check button -- it does not do anything. Do I need to configure somehow ispell package -- or it is just a problem with StarOffice?

RE: [Q][Thanks] How to Print in DEBIAN
Hi, I'd like to thank all for the valuable input. Yesterday, I returned Lexmark 7000 and bought Epson Color 800 Stylus (the color intensity is better on this printer anyways, however, to be fare -- Lexmark has laser quality blackwhite). I still would like to know how to configure it for linux. Here is my printcap file (someone asked to see it). - # /etc/printcap: printer capability database. See printcap(5). # You can use the filter entries df, tf, cf, gf etc. for # your own filters. See the printcap(5) manual page for further # details. lp|Generic dot-matrix printer entry :lp=/dev/lp1 :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp :af=/var/log/lp-acct :lf=/var/log/lp-errs :pl#66 :pw#80 :pc#150 :mx#0 :sh # rlp|Remote printer entry # :lp= # :rm=remotehost # :rp=remoteprinter # :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote # :mx#0 # :sh --- My ultimate goal is to be able to go to StarOffice print button say print -- and it will print (in color if I asked to). I also would like the linux box to be the print server (it is already a samba server) -- but that's the next step. I also think that my LPT port in not lpt1 but lpt2 (I am not sure how to verify that from linux). As I mentioned earlier I installed gs-alladin.deb and magicfileters -- but I do not know where to go next. I read printcap manual page but it talks about a simple bash script to print somehow to the printer -- I have no clue as what it talks about... actually.

Subject: Re: [Q] How to Print in DEBIAN Vladislav, Even though it says that it has HP 500C emulation, this just means that it will emulate the printer once it has been sucessfully configured by the operating system. This printer uses a Host based Windows printing system. The printer does not function under any operating systems/environments than Windows 3.x and Windows 95. I've been testing it under DOS and NT 4.0. It does not work under either of these. The printer requires a device driver in order to function. You will see the same effect if you boot under DOS and try to copy a file to the LPT port. Nothing will be printed on the printer.

RE: Rogue Wave lib
RogueWave has Tools.h++ which is a library of collection and utility
classes. Also they have DBTools.h which encapsulates Database access to
different databases (Informix native, Oracle native, Sybase native, and
ODBC).
There are a lot of libraries that can be used in place of tools.h -- OSE
for example, is one of the most advances free libraries that I have seen
so far,
then goes YACL (it has generic classes + UI (like wxWindows)). Also I
think
that in the near feature STL will become more prevalent in the world of
collection
classes. However strings, dates, records, logging, debugging classes
(like
the ones provided by OSE or YACL) will still be widely used.
As far as DBTools.++ -- I do not know of ANY other company that provide
that type of
encapsulation of the DB access (and this market is *very* lucrative if
someone
would like to step into the land of ESQL encapsulation -- it is not that
hard too -- I always wonder what ObjectSpace is waiting for).
Also I think RW does not officially support GNU CC -- however, I think
there are
a lot of reports that those libraries could be compiled with GNU cc
which means
they could be used on Linux (of course of DBTools.h you would need a
database specific ESQL development environment)
Vladislav
By the way,
if anyone would like to start a free project on DB access encapsulation
for
multiple DB vendors -- count me in as a help.

Hi,
Is there any free library that is compatible to the RogueWave

[Q] Need suggestion on hardware/config
Hi all, I am sorry if this not exactly the right question to ask here -- but I will still try: I am running Debian 1.2 with kernel 2.1.51 on a 486 dx100 -- I would like to upgrade it to a dual pentium 100 (not pro) I already have one pentium 100 processor -- now I need to by another pentium 100 and find the motherboard that will support those. Does anyone know if this is possible and if yes what MB I should look at and will it actually improve my performance as a file server and X server?.
