Tips Tricks
Tips Tricks -- Here are some tips and tricks for that my interest you: 1. RedHat 8.0 MP3 patch: http://soraas.student.nlh.no/~havardk/xmms/xmms-1.2.7-rh8-rpm/ Can't heard MP3's in RH ? This might help you. 2. RedHat 8.0 XMMS segfault fix: It might happen that when you load xmms you will get a Segfault. The previous fix won't help much so here are some solutions: You can disable arts in the source code: xmms-1.2.7-dlopen.patch, change LoadARTSLibrary() 0 to LoadARTSLibrary() = 0 Or you can download arts: goto www.rpmfind.net and download Redhat 7.1's arts. 3. Customizing Mozilla: http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html Nice tips on customizing mozilla, including how to change the default UI font. 4. Using mutt instead of Mozilla Mail: http://sourceforge.net/projects/muttzilla/ If you want to use mutt instead of Mozilla's default mail client, you better download this small utility...

I've tried both RedHat 8.0 (2.4.18) and Mandrake 9.0 (2.4.19). 2.4.19 I believe is the latest stable kernel and both of those are the latest kernels for those distros. I could try some older releases... I don't know about Mandrake, but RedHat publish new kernels occasinoally for their distros. Please make sure you're using the latest RedHat errata kernel. Anyway, both RedHat and Mandrake ship heavily modified kernels. You should also try a vanilla kernel. Sometime a patch that one of the distros adds does more damage than good. Try 2.4.20pre11, if you can. - Recompile USB with all debugging options and do the /var/log/messages dance. You're overestimating my abilities - this is my first attempt at Linux.

It sounds like the driver (I use this term loosely) in the kernel you're using is broken, so either we fix the driver (which needs debug messages) or we try a kernel that might have an updated driver.

Are you able to produce your equivalent lines? Perhaps there is a way to instruct the BIOS to handle USB differently? Are you using the mother board facilities for USB or is that an add on USB card? If this is an add on card, what modifiable settings does it have, if any? Googling for `Linux usb-ohci' yields lot of messages, although it might take a lot of time to dig ones that are both understood able for non kernel programmers and relevant. As for trying another kernel, since it's quite a difficult and lengthy procedure, I'd like to wait a bit - maybe someone will come up with something better/easier to try first. Alexander Maryanovsky.

It doesn't respond to any keys, including ctrl+ald+del. I have no idea whether I can login remotely with another machine, seeing as this computer is not connected to anything when booting Linux (the problem is with the USB *modem*, remember?) Alexander Maryanovsky. I believe that in many situations, even when the local console hangs it does not mean that the machine hangs. There fore, if you have another machine you might be able to ssh to the problematic machine, extract the logs and do some other useful work. Of course that you need a 2nd machine for that matter. -- Shaul Karl, [EMAIL PROTECTED] e t = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
