RE: [expert] Crashing on Bootup
I found the problem. Thanks to anyone who answered- but due to the big delay I have getting anything from the list, I have seen no responses yet. The problem was due to the fact that the install of Mandrake 6.0 saw my dual processor MB and assumed I had two processors installed. I unfortunatly don't at this time. The lilo.conf file actually gave access to two kernals and made the SMC kernal the default. I wound up taking the long path- I recompiled the kernal for 486, and was about to install it when I saw what was in the lilo.conf. -Original Message- From: Roby, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 1999 9:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] Crashing on Bootup System- Tyan Tomcat II Mobo w/latest BIOS 4.02 Cyrix P166+ 64M 6.4 G LBA Mode /boot at start of drive fat32 at 2nd partition (3.0G) /swap at partition 3 - 64M / at partition 4 - 3.2G LILO on Master Boot Record - In linear mode at this time.

[expert] The gcc compiler for 'C' and open/read/fscanf/scanf
I'm an old UNIX hack and have started some development under LINUX. I've written a Makefile and a few "hello world" type progams. When I try to use the fscanf or read commands after using fopen(...) or the open(...) commands, it hangs my xterm and I can't even kill -9 out of it. Needless to say the read/fscanf don't work. Alas, I also found that I could not even get scanf to work. I've checked all the parms, read the man pages etc. Is there any problems in this area that I should be aware of (wouldn't figure there would be)? If not, could you send me a small sample piece of code that you've tested and know works? This is my first time posting and don't know if this is the right place. thanks, mike bidun [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[expert] SUMMARY: Solaris 2.6 NFS mount from a Redhat 6 NFS export.
Thanks to: Carsten B. Knudsen Thomas Anders Ken Michael Kriss john All of whom were aware of the problem and confirmed my suspicions regarding an nfs version conflict and pointed to the vers=2. Thanks to Benno [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] who provided me with a concise explanation and solution. "The Linux Systems NFS Server only speaks NFS Version 2, Solaris tries NFS V3 in Solaris 2.6. One difference is that V2 is via UDP and V3 is also running on an TCP Port. mount -o vers=2 redhat:/path /localpath should work. (see man mount_nfs ...) I still get 'svc: unkown program XXX' errors on the Linux Box, but NFS works. (I have Redhat 5.2, which comes with a rather buggy NFS/libc and added Kernel 2.2.x with knfs which works ok.)"

I take it you are sending the display from one machine to another? First thing you have to do is export the display, which it looks like you did. Next is to add the entry to your xhost file. You can do this by using the command: xhost + (which will exporting from any host without any restrictions) or xhost + ip name (which will allow an export only from that particular machine in your list.) if you want to see what is defined to your list: xhost If you want to remove entries use: xhost - (will remove all hosts) xhost - ip name (will remove a specific host) I hope this helps.
