James www.xbasic.org has a nice rpm and a very nice language, similar to but much more powerful than Visual Basic. It is also portable, being able to run on Windows and on linux. To give you an idea of the power of xbasic, it compiles itself in less than 10 seconds on a Celeron 533, and it won't work without X or an emulator for it in windows. Xbasic grids are much like Visual basic forms, but the code would have to be transferred. Since it is using MSSQL it would be advisable to convert a copy of the database to postgresql or Mysql and there are programs available to do both.

Hi all,

I can't find anything in google about configuring openmcu under linux
and clients under linux and windows. I really need to setup the
videoconference server as soon as possible.
Anybody can help me? Where can I find the documentation about openmcu?
I only ever used audio on openmcu -- see http://pfortin.com/Linux/openmcu/
-- so can't comment on video other than to point out port 1720 conflict
with audio...
Got most help at http://www.openh323.org/
Thank you!
Best regards!

Thank you, Pierre,
After reading the document you specified, I tried to test openmcu running in a
near computer (win32 version of openmcu) in the same subnet and it works.
The problem seems to be closed ports. The windows computer is in the same
subnet that my Linux workstation, while the Linux server is in another
subnet. The network administrator opened h.323 ports in the server net, and I
have these ports opened in my computer too, but it seems to be that some
ports in my subnet are closed to the server subnet.
I will consult this question to the network administrator, and if I can't
solve the problem, I will re-ask the list.
Thank you!

I agree with your experience: Mandrake does not provide nice support for roaming with your laptop (perhaps Starbucks is not widespread enough in France :-) ). What makes it even more depressing is that Linux pcmcia package actually comes pretty much with the tools you need through the command cardctl. However, Mandrake insists on having only one setting of the encryption key. So here is my solution: 1) I have installed the pcmcia-cs package 2) I have replaced /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-wireless with the attached script which incorporates a few bits from pcmcia-cs package 3) I have changed /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts to include settings for two schemes: a default unencrypted and my home zone. This is done with the following setting: # Lucent Wavelan IEEE (+ Orinoco, RoamAbout and ELSA) # Melco/Buffalo Networks WLI-PCM-L11 # Note : wvlan_cs driver only, and version 1.0.4+ for encryption support home,*,*,00:60:1D:*|home,*,*,00:02:2D:*) INFO=Wavelan IEEE example (Lucent default settings) ESSID=any MODE=Managed KEY=------XX open ;; *,*,*,00:60:1D:*|*,*,*,00:02:2D:*) INFO=Wavelan IEEE example (Lucent default settings) ESSID=any MODE=Managed KEY=off ;; After this, all I need to do to change between the two keys are cardctl scheme home or cardctl scheme default as root and then of course ifdown, ifup on the card.

Re: [expert] OT Linux user from Taipei familiar with available hardware
Sorry ALL, I shouldn't have sent this to the public to begin with, i meant to reply directly to person who sent initial OT message. It just happened that someone had asked me if I know of distributors who can supply hardware parts directly to Tanzania, instead of them having to buy from UK or South Africa or in some cases, US, where a price markup has been done already. This makes their products unaffordable to the African market. Thats all. So i figured it wont hurt to askthey worst case is a simple NO, and the opposite can be glory to others. _Thanks Richard. --- Jack Coates [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ?

Yes, it's not nice, yes people will die, yes we all have our opinions, no

Please, stop! Instead of promoting Mandrake and this particular community,
you're hurting it. People will leave the lists over continued nuances and
blatant badgering over this extremely off-topic thread. If you feel the
need to discuss it, please do so on an off-topic list or subscribe to some
political, anti-war, or tree-hugger's mailing list. I'm sure they exist.
I am, personally, about half an inch from unsubscribing from this list as
well, although it pains me to do so as some people have questions regarding
security and updates that I like to help with. But I simply can't stand the
amount of off-topic garbage coming through the Mandrake lists these days...
it's already caused me to unsubscribe from cooker. I'm sure I'm not the
only who feels their time is more valuable than wading through this crud
just to get to the good stuff... no, wait, not even the good stuff... the
*relevant* stuff.
Please be considerate of the others on this list. I understand you want to
get your point across. If you feel so strongly, put up a web page with
your thoughts and provide the URL in your sig. Please stop polluting the
list.
Unfortunately, I likely will not be permitted to start hacking through the
members list and removing everyone who posts OT... =( Which means that the
responsibility lies on every list member's shoulders to a) not start these
threads and b) not feed them.
My apologies to everyone for even responding to this in the first place.
I considered it for a full 5 minutes before doing so, and even somewhat
regret doing it anyways, but with the amount of off-topic stuff going to the
lists these days, I felt I had to say something to encourage folks to be a
little more respectful of the other subscribers.

Re: [expert] A7N8X and Radeon 9700 Pro under ML 9.1?!?
On Thursday 13 March 2003 11:39 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A few questions tho... XFree86 4.3.0 is supposed to support the Radeon 9700 (to what extent... I couldn't find any info on their site). I think the agpgart might be the prob. I am wondering if the agpgart module supports at least the nforce (not the nforce2) chipset. If I am not mistaken it doesn't though it has been on the market for quite a while now. That is probably due to the lack of support from nvidia. I am thinking of helping reverse engineering the AGP part of the board so we could have support also for nforce2, but I dunno how to do that. I am a programmer myself but never went that deep in linux stuff. I would need all the help I can get on this matter. You are correct, it is the 3D stuff that is not well upported. I understand ATi is trying to do some drivers, but that seems a recent effort and they will need to understand the software engineering process for linux well enough to accomplish it, which may take a few failed efforts. Second question would be: Is there any chance to tell XFree 86 not to do those strict tests anymore? The system on which the problem is, is my play station so I am not that sad if linux gets trashed in the process (I can always reinstall and start all over again). OK yes there is a way. One method is examining DrakX/XFdrake code to find the differences between that and the standard XFree Server... A somewhat simpler solution that might have the same effect is examining the XF86Config-4 file in /etc/X11/ and removing all unwanted modes/screens since it may be one of those that is causing the problem. Any chance of finding usefull stuff in implementing the agpgart for this board from the NVIDIA_kernel sources which builds the NVAGP? I've seen they provide a tarball and sorce rpm for unsupported linux versions, and their NVAGP is supposed to work with the nforce2... Ummm, the tarball and source rpm have huge binareis embedded within. The purpose of the source is to provide a wrapper for compiling as a kernel module, else they would be building binaries for EVERY new kernel issued.

[expert] Setting up Embperl
I'm trying get beyond Perl and CGI to do more sophisticated templating. Before I take the plunge into PHP, I thought I'd check out some of the Perl-based templating system, like HTML::Mason and Embperl. That latter looks particularly promising, if I could get it to work. I'm running LM 9.0, with Apache 1.3.26, mod_perl 1.3.26_1.27, and Embperl 1.3.26_1.3.4 installed. Mod_perl seems to work when I put Perl scripts in the /perl/ directory instead of cgi-bin. I have http.conf with the following: IfModule mod_perl.c PerlModule HTML::Embperl SetEnv EMBPERL_DEBUG 2285 Files *.epl SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler HTML::Embperl Options ExecCGI /Files #AddType text/html .epl /IfModule I have a hello world .epl file in my document root. Right now it just comes up as the source code of the file. This occurs whether or not I comment out the AddType text/html .epl I've tried building Embperl from source but it won't compile.

Till now agpgart doesn't want to load on this board (nforce2 chipset) even with agp_try_unsupported=1 and nvidia provides no driver for its agp beside the nvagp module in the drivers for their graphics cards. Since I have an ATI card I am not sure how to make it work in a better mode than vesa on my mainboard. I read a lot of things on the net and I can shorten the long story to the following: 1. Some suggesting to try to install the NVIDIA rpm and then use the nvagp module with the ATI card. No answer from the original poster if it worked. :/ 2. The current kernel agpgart module lacks the description for this card and though some people offered to write the driver provided someone can help with collecting the needed info, the post was left in the air, so no news there... 3. Some reported they managed to run their Radeon 9700 Pro as pci and not AGP on this type of motherboard, but also no details provided upon how to do that?!? PCI is a lot better than vesa anyway, but have no clue how to do that. They said they got 320fps in glxgears. 4. Some said that AGP is needed just to do some texture loading(?!? whatever that is), but if the card has enough memory on the card (radeon 9700 Pro comes with 128MB) you don't absolutely need it and that you can run it as PCI (again?!? but again no clue how?!?) and works just fine (just a tad slower than if ran in AGP on other motherboards where agpgart support exists.

Best regards, Adrian Well the truth is that the ATi boards are very poorly supported in linux, largely because tech info is so hard to get out of ATi, so drivers usually run a few generations behind the current ATi board models.

Thx for the info. Can you give me some more info on the following points please: 1. The problem is that the module from ATI doesn't load if agpgart is not loaded, or am I mistaken and there was some other strange reason for my X server failing?!? 2. Do you have the agpgart loaded? 3. Does your system have a nforce2 chipset? Best regards, Adrian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] A7N8X and Radeon 9700 Pro under ML 9.1?!?
I've come late to the thread, but not the issue - I posted not so long ago about using the Radeon 9000 board under MDK. Here's what partially works for me: ... SNIP ... Almost forgot. Did you manage to install the drivers with the XFree86 4.3.0? It seems to refuse to load the module with the current version of XFree86 which comes with ML 9.1. Any way to trick the ATI module to load despite the newer version of XFree86? It was at least trying to load with 4.2.99 and I can't imagine that so much has changed between 4.2.99 and 4.3.0 that it is no longer compatible...

Here's a quick script I hacked a while back... it's very specific to my
travelling; but could serve as a guide...
Essentially, I got the networking working correctly at each location and
copied each set of working files like this:
/etc/resolv.conf -- /usr/local/network/resolv.conf.{NC,SC,dial}
/etc/sysconfig/network --
/usr/local/network/sysconfig/network.{NC,SC,dial}
Then, when I travel to another location, I simply fire up the laptop and
as root, issue:
# chnet NC(DSL connected LAN)
# chnet SC(LAN to modem-sharing desktop)
# chnet dial (direct dial)
and I'm up and running Since I'll be travelling more soon, I plan to
rework this to allow multi-location dial access using my ISP's list of
dialups...
Aside: if anyone has been able to compile kaptain

solve the Qt dependancies...

While Nimda may be similarly responded to, the alternative is to use a _passive_ response... block subsequent packets with iptables... This, I've toyed with in several ways... the one I prefer; but still need to debug is having apache write $REMOTE_ADDR to a pipe which is connected to a listener that can issue an immediate 'drop $REMOTE_ADDR 80', a script I wrote -- and currently reworking -- which creates an iptables entry, and saves the info for refreshing/reloading iptables after a reboot, etc... Altough, to keep the iptables short so as not to impact performance too much, I'm moving towards blocking the Nimda packets for a few minutes, then removing the block. OO. doing a quick review of this msg, I just noticed for the first time that the Nimda attack is not in the usual order... looks like my bug is not providing for all possibilities and using the first one to arrive... :^P I've been focusing on GET /scripts/root.exe...

I'm running 8.2 on my main server (9.0 issues)... http://articles.linuxguru.net/view/125 It would seem, based upon my reading the page, that most of us will have to patch our kernels before this will work, so being somewhat idle, I promptly downloaded the patch and applied it to the RedHat kernel running on one of my spare boxes, rebooted and tested it. Heck, it works. However, I should say that it slowed things down quite a bit, running only 64M of memory. I don't have anything scientific to prove that, just the observation. However, within five minutes, it did capture and DROP a set of packets. I was impressed. What have you tried in this matter? Feel free to take this thread offline -- we can summarize back... There it is. I'm going to experiment some more with this with a box and see if there are any additional drawbacks to using an iptables filter to trap Code Red.

Another possible error message is Everything already installed. Why: The installer misconfigured the medium description of Contribution packages.
