kpackage crash

2001-12-16 Thread Boris Gorelik

Greetings and salutations!

Yesterday I decided to install Kdevelop 2.0.2 on my RH7.1 (Athlon AMD 
machine) over KDEvelop 1.4.1
I've dowloaded the rmp from the net and performed the installation without 
checking dependencies (yeah, you may laugh if you want to). During the 
process, kpackage crashed, KDEvelop 2.0.2 doesn't boot and when I try to run 
kpackage again, it crashes. The message I get from it is:

winlinux exipirience ?

2001-12-17 Thread Boris Gorelik

Hi!
Before posting this question i tried to look for the answer on the net and 
even asked [EMAIL PROTECTED], but no answer :-(
My problem is:
A friend of mine who has win98 and RH7.1 on a Pentium 4 computer wants me to 
help her to install winlinux2001 on it. Before the installation she wants to 
be 99.999% (she is so anal) sure that she is able to access all RH7.1 
partitions and run programs. Ideally (but not obligatory), on WinLinux boot 
she wants to be able to login into the existing RH partition.
Anyone knows if it's possible (and if it is - how?)

Some rumor says that winlinux2001, installed on a disk other then c:\ do not 
work properly. Is it true?

book recomendation needed

2002-02-04 Thread Boris Gorelik

Hi all.
I have some extra bucks to spend on a book, so I thought "why not a Linux
book". After searching on amazon.com, I've came up with three major
candidates. The problem is that I don't trust the reviewers that are cited
on the site, so I thought to ask some recommendations from this honorable
forum. 
Those are the candidates:

Red Hat Linux: The Complete Reference, Second Edition

My current Linux experience is "intermediate-", My goals are: everyday sys
administering of couple networked stations and C++ (non-system)
programming (I'm buying another book for  this goal)

Thanks a lot

security issue

2002-03-13 Thread Boris Gorelik

hi,
At my lab, we have an RH7.2 box. Recently I had to add some users. The 
problem is that the people that I added, are not around, that's why I've 
decided to do the following:
I've made this script script
#!/bin/bash
#  file: /bin/message
echo Hi! I am sorry to tell you that your account has been disabled.
echo contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] to activate it
sleep 10
logout

and changed /etc/passwd entries to something like this:
logname::1234:10:full name:/home/name:/bin/message
(as you see, no password field in the entry),

Is this technique secure? What is the accepted approach?

Thanks

OT: laptop for lend/rent needed

Sorry for being OT, but this list is my last hope for help (hope it doesn't
sound too dramatic :-) ).
I'm looking for someone in Jerusalem or Ashdod/Ashkelon or Holon/BatYam
areas, who is willing to bo lend/rent/sell (really cheap) a laptop. I'll
need it for the period between april, 7 till april, 30 (i'm going to
"miluim" :-(  ).
A really old piece is OK, as long as it is capable to run some (STL
supporting) c++ compiler and perform text-edditing.
Thanks in advance

X hangs and refuses to be killed

2002-05-13 Thread Boris Gorelik

hi,
this is a strange problem: we have dual PIII with RH7.2 on it (as only OS).
Today, while X was logging out from KDE session, I tried to swich to text 
console (by Ctr-Alt-F1), and X just hanged. The rest of the system worked 
fine. This problem has occured several times in the past, and the solution 
was to restart the X by killing it. So I looked for X (top -bn1 | less) and 
found 2 processes. One process was pretty regular, and the other was: 
 9351 root   9   0 00 0 Z 0.0  0.0   0:00 X 
(I've never seen  note.
I killed the "usual" X - didn't help, tried to kill 9351 by 
kill -s 9 9351
 - no reaction. It's like 9351 has choosen to ignore the superuser !!!(  ;-) )

google search for X did not gave something usefull (I just know that 
some guy had such a problem. Tried to mail him - apparently there is no such 
address).
My questions are: how is it possible that a process doues not respond to kill 
-s 9, is it possible to kill such a process anyway, what should I do in the 
future when this problem comes back, what will be the numbers in lotto in the 
next week and when will we sign pease with Syria

Thanks in advance, 
Boris

tucows linux directory

2002-06-06 Thread Boris Gorelik

here is a strage  behavior of tucows site:
Clicking on the "linux" link gets you to mirror selecting page, after 
selecting a mirror, you get to the home page of the selected mirror, when 
there, you have to click "linux" again and then you reach the same mirror 
selecting page (you are locked in an endless loop). Tried this with Mozilla 
(Mozilla 0.9.9 ) and Konqueror (3.0.0.12) on RH7.3 using KDE 3.0.0.10
Cookies are enabled on both of them.
As far as I remember I didn't have this problem with windows. 
Did anyone have similar problem ?
Thanks

The National Institute of Health (NIH) in the USA, invests prety large amounts 
of money for basic research  and research with no potential of big profits 
(like anti-mallaria drugs). This brings partial solution for this problem. 
Another driving force is ability to publish in basic research journals.
But all this is long way offtopic, so I'll stop here

vmware hebrew documentation

2002-07-28 Thread Boris Gorelik

Hi, all!
I've decided to write a Hebrew analog of the VMWare user's manual (I say 
analog instead of translation because I don't think I'm able to translate 400 
pages). In order not to "redescover the wheel", I've googled for hebrew 
documents containing "vmware" and found nothing interesting. 
Just in order to be on the safe side, can anyone tell me about any (decent or 
not ) hebrew document on vmware
thanks

Encoding problem in Konqueror

2002-09-24 Thread Boris Gorelik

Well, this is a STRANGE problem:
I use Konqueror 3.0.3-0.7 to surf the net. While everything goes well, there 
are some pages (like http://www.md.huji.ac.il/, 
http://pref.etfos.hr/garlic/competition/index.html) that I see in Greek 
letters. The vast majority of the pages are fine. Changing the encoding from 
Auto to anything else gives nothing. I have all the fonts in browser 
appearance window set to Helvetica [Adobe].
Any idea on what might be the reason for this behavior?

both: I had standard KDE buttons, to which I added some additional ones. The 
thing is that I added them using Panel->Add->Button menu (not by entering the 
path to application itself), so I suppose that the behaviour of the added 
buttons is expected to be exactly like of the original ones

Anyway, I've removed all the buttons, and re-added them. Now everything is 
cool.

RedHat pisses me up!!

2002-10-16 Thread Boris Gorelik

Sorry for being rude, but ...
This is the storry

Several weeks ago, I updated RH7.3 to 8.0 version using "update all" option. 
Even though I didn't asked the installation program to remove any programs 
from my disk, I was astounded to discover that KPackage and GnoRpm have gone, 
and now the only way to have a GUI to package management is some  impotent 
tool that RH have included, which gives me no choices what so ever.

This was the "last straw".
My conclusion is: meanwhile I'm downgrading to RH7.3 (since it takes time to 
learn a new distro). In the long range: if no improvement is done in 
subsequent versions, I'll move all the computers I administer to another 
distribution (even if I have to invest 3-4 weeks in learning to deal with new 
environment).

I wrote RedHat a letter (to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and expressed my 
protest on the issue together with the conclusion. I envite every RH user on 
on this list to tell RedHat all one thinks about their policy. Who knows, 
maybe it will make them reconsider couple of things.

buttons on KDE panel don't function after RH7.3->RH8.0 upgrade

2002-10-13 Thread Boris Gorelik
Hi, 
Did anyone have this kind of problem (I tried google to find something similar 
on the net, but no results) 
After updating RH7.3 to 8.0, all the buttons on the kicker (the KDE panel) 
stopped functioning: when clicking on them, I get message in stile of "the 
file or directory file:/blah/blah does not exist". The buttons even stopped 
presenting their icons: I see cogwheels (galgal-shinaim).

I assume that I'm not the only one who upgraded RH7.3 to 8.0, so is it 
possible that this problem is unique to my system?

Hello,
I'm planning to install linux (RH 7.3) on 5 computers in one day. Since I 
don't want to burn multiple sets of instalation diskettes, I thought to use 
existing linux machine (all the machines are connected to LAN) as either FTP 
or NFS server.
Can anyone tell, please, which of the two methods (if any) is better regarding 
speed and reliability.

Thanks a lot

I have 2 spare CPU's (maybe not)

2002-11-10 Thread Boris Gorelik
this is a VERY strange problem. My boss have bought a new computer with two 
Xeon CPUs (he loves dual machines, and we don't comlain about it ;)  ).
Last wednesday I've noticed that the top command showed 4 CPU's:
[bgbg]$ top -bn1i | head
 10:32am  up 4 days,  1:03,  7 users,  load average: 1.59, 1.37, 0.84
103 processes: 101 sleeping, 2 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU0 states: 89.0% user, 10.0% system,  0.0% nice,  0.0% idle
CPU1 states:  0.1% user,  0.0% system,  0.0% nice, 99.0% idle
CPU2 states:  0.0% user,  0.0% system,  0.0% nice, 100.0% idle
CPU3 states:  0.0% user,  2.0% system,  0.0% nice, 97.0% idle
Mem:   513400K av,  442124K used,   71276K free,   0K shrd,   20064K buff
Swap: 1068240K av,   0K used, 1068240K free  213524K 
cached

I have even opened the box to verify the number of the CPU's.
Does anyone know anything about this behaviour? How should I treat the load 
fugures I get from top?

System: RH7.3, kernel 2.4.18.3smp, top --version: top (procps version 2.0.7)

Have a nice life,

It's rather like learning to drive without learning automobile mechanics. 
These are different things. I remember my father spending all his off-work 
days (late 70-s, ealy 80's in USSR) under the car trying to fix breaks. But 
these days are gone (thanks God) and no one seems to regret this.
All the "comand line based" things are like saying: car is engine based and 
seats, air condition and radio player are nice add-ins, but if you don't know 
how to open an engine and change exhausting valve (I don't know if such a 
thing exist :-)  ) you cannot enter a car.

printing on okipage 14ex via samba

2003-01-02 Thread Boris Gorelik
Hi all.
I have this annoying problem with printing on okipage 14ex printer via samba. 
This is the storry:

The printer is installed on a windows98 computer and is shared over the LAN.
while there is no problem with printing on this printer from other windows
computers, I couldn't succeed to print from redhat 7.3 linux.
I'm using the LPRng printing system, and I've tried tree drivers:
 - ljet4
 the ouput test page is splitted in two, and is very "noisy" i.e it looks
like I'm printing with exhausted toner cartige , and lots of unneeded blank 
lines are inserted, which results with splitted page.

-  lj5gray and pxlmono
 when printing (anything), the an error output is printed on the
sheet.

When connecting the printer to Linux machine directly, the output is OK (using 
ljet4. I've  tried to ask OKIdata support service. They have told me to 
contact them on phone, since the problem was too complicated. I couldn't call 
them in US, so I decided to call the local OKI representative (SHER 
electronics ltd). Since the guy I was talking to didn't know what linux is 
(he asked me: "This linus of yours: does it work on DOS or windows?"), the 
problem still persists. 
There is a forum dedicated to OKI printers on linuxprinting.org, but it has 
near zero traffic, and I haven't receved anu answers from there.

Does anyone have an idea how this problem can be solved? (we prefer that the 
printer remains connected to win computer).

Thanks 

PS [1] I thought that the windows machine tried to apply the driver to the 
info it gets from linux, resulting in disturbed output, so I tried to 
configure the printer on linux as "no driver (post script)", but the result 
was lots of pages with some strange characters on them.

PS [2] This is the error output that I get when using lj5gray and pxlmono 
drievrs:
--- START OF OUTPUT 
PCL XL error

 Subsystem: KERNEL
 Error: IllegalAttribute
 Operator: ReadImage
 Position: 16
- END OF OUTPUT -
the ouput is always the same.

Thanks again

Thanks Cedar Cox for the tip.
The problem was solved by unmarking the "Translate \n => \r\n" option in

Simple, isn't it?

There is such an opiton on KDE. Being a former mac user (in distant past), I 
was very happy when I discovered it, but after a week or so, I've cancelled 
it. I think one of the problem was the combination of such "global" menu bar

and which I was not willing to throw away.

You may adopt the following model: once in a while (say a year) a contact

reply or else the company will be removed from the list.
Such a model is succesfully implemented by RHN.

I don't know what exactly Danny ment, but ... 
Two years ago we had bad experiance with openmosix combined with large 
processes (with resident set sizes of about 500 MB) and relatively slow 
network. The result was drastic decrease in performance and almost unusable 
network. I realized that in order to overcome these problems, we had to 
invest money equipment (network), and lots of time in learning and 
fine-tuning. We had none of those, so openmosix was temporary uninstalled and 
we live without it for two years now.

To the original question: I think that if system and network administration is 
not your primary field of interest, and if your budget allows to, the best 
idea would be to hire commercial help. This has three advantages:
1. you will support bussines models based on opensource
2. you will learn from proffesionals
3. you will save time for your primary work/ fun/ family

Mess with additional gcc

2005-05-26 Thread Boris Gorelik

Hello, list.
Can anybody help me with this issue?
I need to install gcc3.2.2 on my Mandriva 2005, whithout removing the existing 
gcc3.4 . So I do
[builddir]$ /configure --prefix=/opt/gcc322 --program-suffix-3.2.2 
[builddir]$ make 
[builddir]$ sudo make install 

Everything works smoothly, but after the install is done, lots of programs 
fail to start:
[tmp]$ konsole
konsole: //opt/gcc322/lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.3' not found (required 
by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)
(the error message is always the same). Removing /opt/gcc322 solves the 
problem.

Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks

Sorry. This is some more info: There is only one app that is compiled with 
gcc322. I write this app, since I use a third party library (static linking), 
and it's headers files do not compile with gcc3.4 (huge mess with 
templates) .  The rest of the apps are standard ones that come with the 
distro (Mandriva). 
When the two versions of the compiler are installed, I experience the problems 
described in the original message. Removing gcc322 ("rm -fr gcc322") solves 
everything, except for the fact that I cannot continue working on my program 
(which is VERY important).
[tmp]$ env  | grep gcc322 | wc -l
0
[tmp]$

I didn't create any symlink to any file in /opt/gcc322 

Hope this clarifies the situation

Again, I need gcc322 only for one app, which is linked statically, so passing 
to the linker appropriate -L and -l parameters do the job.

I know that this sounds strange and funny, so I'll stress it again: installing 
gcc322 in completely isolated directory (/opt/gcc322) breaks lots of already 
existing standrd applications. Removing /opt/gcc322 (rm -fr /opt/gcc322) 
completely restores all the broken functionality.

 Furthermore, on another machine with similar setup, and with exact arguments 
to "configure" and "make", the problem does not exist

Thanks. I don't know when (probably during the make install), 
but /opt/gcc322/... was indeed in ld.so.conf . Deleted it, done ldconf and 
now everything works.

gs fails to create PDF files

2005-07-12 Thread Boris Gorelik

Hello, list
when trying to print web pages to PDF files (on Konqueror 3.3.2, mandriva 2005 
LE), sometimes I recive message like this:
"A print error occurred. Error message received from system:
Abnormal process termination (gs -q -dSAFER -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH 
-sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=$out{/home/bgbg/temp/print.pdf} -sPAPERSIZE=a4 
-c .setpdfwrite -f '/tmp/kde-bgbg/kdeprint_3YFXrUQk' )."
When typing the command on the command line, I get the following:
"ESP Ghostscript 815.01:  Could not open the file {/home/bgbg/print.pdf} .
 Unable to open the initial device, quitting."

Googling for "Could not open the file" "Unable to open the initial device, 
quitting." gave nothing useful.  The stange thing is that the process is 
succesful with some pages (see partial list below).
Does anyone have any idea?
PS. printing to a postscript file works fine

Now here I need to make things clear: that was a cynical remark, influenced by 
the recent thread about boycotting Google.  The message was sent to Mark off
