Hi,
I'm having a problem with the labels function of WordPerfect 8 for Linux.
This is the feature that you get by selecting Format-Labels from the main
menu. When I try this, I get the list of labels, and I can select one,
but when I click on OK, WordPerfect crashes. I get no warning, no core
dump, just a crashed program. If I then re-start WordPerfect, I get the
"Timed Backup" dialog, and if I click the "File Manager" button and select
the listed file, I get the envelopes template and can use it. That's
rather a flaky way to load a template, though. So:
1) Has anybody else seen this bug?
2) Does anybody else NOT get this bug?
3) Does anybody have a suggested workaround or fix for this bug?
FWIW, this happens with both the downloadable and retail versions of WP8
for Linux, on a system with Red Hat 5.2 using kernel 2.2.1. I'm running
XFree86 3.3.2.3-25 (from a Red Hat RPM), using a Matrox Millennium via the
XF86_SVGA server. The problem does *NOT* occur if I use WP 7 for Linux;
it's specific to WP 8.
Rod,
I just tried this as non-root on my shipped shrink-wrap WP8-Linux with no
problem. I'm running it on RedHat 5.2, with Kernel 2.0.36, XFree86-3.3.3.1,
and a Matrox Millenium video card.
In case it matters, it looks like WP8-Linux was compiled for libc5 instead of
libc6. That's why, on some systems, it can give incorrect date/time. I had to
create a smbolic link like this to solve that:
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo /usr/lib/zoneinfo

1. get all rpm packages except those marked 'devel' (I assume you' you're
not interested in developing)
1.5 put them all in a new temporary dir (eg. mkdir gnome)
2. # rpm -ivh glib-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm

I'm using free agent in windows. I can't find an off line news reader

with agent you can select the headers you want downloaded and delete
the rest from your account so they are gone forever. you can select
multiple headers at once, using shift and the arrow keys. I can sift
through 1000 messages in 15 minutes and end up with only the bodies I
want to read.
Please tell me there is something as good for linux!!!
Knews is very powerful, but it is not offline. I've read reports that Agent
will work with Wine, and I know for a fact that Agent also works with Wabi.

Hi all,
I have a problem with the parallizing filesystem check (fsck) on
all harddisks. These errors look like this:
WARNING: Possible bug found in ext2fs! Or some bonehead (you!) is
checking a mounted filesystem! (Of course I do NOT!)

When I try to check my filesystems manually with e2fsck all seems
to be normal. So what's the problem?

Richard, I hear what you are saying, You are indeed a brave man to

Having only had Linux for just 1 week, and only actually got it
connected to the net by myself last night, I know what you're feeling.
I've been using Win95/98 and NT4 for some years now, and I guess I've
been spoilt rather.
My Choice of net apps are:
Internet Explorer 4
Eudora Pro
Forte Agent
FTP Explorer
Pirch
Now then, as for my Linux setup.
We have Netscape, which looks really good, and a worthy replacement
for IE4
The IRC, and Email side of things I guess if fairly easy to handle for
many Linux Apps.
I've not tried any FTP progs yet, but will be surprised if any can
quite match up to the ease of use of "FTP Explorer"
ie: Drag an file icon from your desktop over the FTP prog, and it
uploads it into the current dir on the server machine.
But, I'm hearing again and again (On the net), the disappointment with
News reader programs.
I've tried the one that comes with KDE "Krn" and it's OK I guess, but
rather odd, and clunky.

When trying to mount /dev/hda1 as a root partition it only boots partway.
The last thing I see on the screen is:
Partition check:
hda: hda1 hda2
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.

At that point I have a flashing cursor on the screen. I can type and what I
type is shown on-screen, but hitting enter just creates a new line. The
machine doesn't do squat.
Edward Dunagin was kind enough to reply to an indentical earlier post,
advising me to look at my /etc/lilo.conf file. I booted with a resuce disk
and tried this, but this durn thing won't let me put LILO on the boot
partition of hda1 when I've got the system booted with fd1 as the root.
AAAGGHHH!!!

Textedit is still around if you really liked it. It's part of the

The Slackware CD still has it.
One very nice editor I haven't seen mentioned here is cooledit and its

it uses most of the same keys. Cooledit is multi-file while smalledit
is for single file jobs. A favorite of mine.

Yes this is true in the context of shrinked wrapped applications.However
the application, as I understood it, involves largely custom code so a
recompile should not be a big thing.Even if I misunderstand the usage a
bit, the requirements for the machine seem to demand a dedicated processor
so the chance of using shrinked wrapped software on it is slim.
The example I gave involves heavy (indeed, primary) use of off the

The thing is, everything I know is self taught, maybe not so good for a

Running Linux 2.0.35
Max,
Consider
proggy.c
proggy* which is set uid root chmod 4710
proggy.pl
proggy.c calls proggy.pl and is compiled into proggy*
Proggy.pl contains the usual lines necessary for secure
running of suid scripts. It also contains.
system ("cp file1 file2");
This works fine. However
system ("id cp file1 file2");
system ("id ; cp file1 file2");
fail to do the copy with permission denied and the id shows that it is
not running setuid root.
system ("cp file1 file2 21")
also fails with permission denied.
Why?
Both work fine under SunOS 4.1.4.
I need to be able to catch the error output of the system command,
like so:
$data = `cp file1 file2 21`;
print "$data";
But this fails just as the above system calls fail.
I also need to be able to do simple compound shell statements
system ("cd /home/user whatever");
What am I doing wrong?

Linux Frequently Asked Questions with Answers (Part 3 of 6) ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Re: Best value in CPU for linux (Rod Roark)
KDE 1.1 and GIMP 1.1.2 - very strange behaviour (Rob Fisher)
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Crossposted-To: news.answers,comp.answers
Subject: Linux Frequently Asked Questions with Answers (Part 3 of 6)
Date: 8 Mar 1999 00:36:57 GMT
[Roderich Schupp]
Zlibc is a program that allows existing applications to read
compressed (GNU gzip'ed) files as if they were not compressed. Look on
metalab.unc.edu in /pub/Linux/libs/. The author is Alain Knuff.
There is also a compressing block device driver, "DouBle," by
Jean-Marc Verbavatz, which can provide on-the-fly disk compression in
the kernel. The source-only distribution is located at metalab.unc.edu
in the directory /pub/Linux/patches/diskdrives/. This driver
compresses inodes and directory information as well as files, so any
corruption of the file system is likely to be serious.
There is also a package called tcx (Transparently Compressed
Executables), which allows you to keep infrequently compressed
executables compressed and only uncompress them temporarily when in
use. It is located on metalab.unc.edu in the directory
/pub/Linux/utils/compress/.
3.4 Can I use my Stacked/DBLSPC/etc. DOS drive?
Until recently, not very easily. You can access DOS 6.X volumes from
the DOS emulator ("What software does Linux support?"), but
it's harder than accessing a normal DOS volume via the DOS kernel
option, a module, or mtools.
There is a recently added package, dmsdos, that reads and writes
compressed file systems like DoubleSpace/DriveSpace in MS-DOS 6.x and
Win95, as well as Stacker versions 3 and 4. It is a loadable kernel
module. Look at
metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/dosfs/.
3.5 Can I access OS/2 HPFS partitions from Linux?
Yes, but Linux access to HPFS partitions is read-only. HPFS file
system access is available as an option when compiling the kernel or
as a module. See the Documentation/filesystems/hpfs.txt file in the
kernel source distribution. ("How do I upgrade/recompile my
kernel?") Then you can mount HPFS partition, using, for example:
$ mkdir /hpfs
$ mount -t hpfs /dev/hda5 /hpfs
3.6 Can Linux access Amiga file systems?
The Linux kernel has support for the Amiga Fast File System (AFFS)
version 1.3 and later, both as a compile-time option and as a module.
The file Documentation/filesystems/affs.txt in the Linux kernel source
distribution has more information.
See "How do I upgrade/recompile my kernel?".
Linux supports AFFS hard-drive partitions only. Floppy access is not
supported due to incompatibilities between Amiga floppy controllers
and PC and workstation controllers. The AFFS driver can also mount
disk partitions used by the Un*x Amiga Emulator, by Bernd Schmidt.
3.7 Can Linux access BSD, SysV, etc. UFS?
Recent kernels can mount (read only) the UFS file system used by
System V; Coherent; Xenix; BSD; and derivatives like SunOS, FreeBSD,
NetBSD, and NeXTStep. UFS support is available as a kernel
compile-time option and a module.
See, "How do I upgrade/recompile my kernel?"
3.8 Can Linux access SMB file systems?
Linux supports read/write access of Windows for Workgroups and Windows
NT SMB volumes. See the file Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt of
the Linux kernel source distribution, and "How do I
upgrade/recompile my kernel?" in this FAQ.
There is also a suite of programs called Samba which provide support
for WfW networked file systems (provided they're for TCP/IP).
Information is available in the README file at
metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/network/samba/.
There is a SMB Web site at samba.anu.edu.au/samba/.
3.9 Can Linux access Macintosh file systems?
There is a set of user-level programs that read and write the
Macintosh Hierarchical File System (HFS). It is available at
metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/utils/disk-management.
3.10 Can I run Microsoft Windows programs under Linux?
WINE, a MS Windows emulator for Linux, is still not ready for general
distribution. If you want to contribute to its development, look for
the status reports in the comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine newsgroup.
There is also a FAQ, compiled by P. David Gardner, at
metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/faqs/Wine-FAQ/.
In the meantime, if you need to run MS Windows programs, the best
bet--seriously--is to reboot. LILO, the Linux boot loader, can boot
one of several operating systems from a menu. See the LILO
documentation for details.
Also, LOADLIN (a DOS program to load a Linux, or other OS, kernel is
one way to make Linux co-exist with DOS. LOADLIN is particularly handy
when you want to install Linux on a 3rd or 4th drive on a system (or
when you're adding a SCSI drive to a system with an existing IDE).
In these cases, it is common for LILO's boot loader

For example, when upgrading libc5 libraries, the files in /lib/ might
look something like:
libc.so.5
libc.so.5.4.33
libm.so.5
libm.so.5.0.9
These are the C libraries and the math libraries. Copy them to another
directory that is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf, like /usr/lib/.
cp -df /lib/libc.so.5* /usr/lib/
cp -df /lib/libm.so.5* /usr/lib/
ldconfig
Be sure to run ldconfig to upgrade the library configuration.
The files libc.so.5 and libm.so.5 are symbolic links to the actual
library files. When you upgrade, the new links will not be created if
the old links are still there, unless you use the -f flag with cp. The
-d flag to cp will copy the symbolic link itself, and not the file it
points to.
If you need to overwrite the link to the library directly, use the -f
flag with ln.
For example, to copy new libraries over the old ones, try this. Make a
symbolic link to the new libraries first, then copy both the libraries
and the links to /lib/, with the following commands.
ln -sf ./libm.so.5.0.48 libm.so.5
ln -sf ./libc.so.5.0.48 libc.so.5
cp -df libm.so.5* /lib
cp -df libc.so.5* /lib
Again, remember to run ldconfig after you copy the libraries.
If you are satisfied that everything is working correctly, you can
remove the temporary copies of the old libraries from /usr/lib/ or
wherever you copied them.
5.6 Has anyone ported / compiled / written XXX for Linux?
First, look in the Linux Software Map--it's at
metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/linux-software-map, and on the
other FTP sites. A search engine is available on the World Wide Web at
http://www.boutell.com/lsm/.
Check the FTP sites ("Where can I get Linux material by FTP?")
first--search the ls-lR or INDEX files for appropriate strings.
Also look at the Linux Projects Map,
ftp.ix.de/pub/ix/Linux/docs/Projects-Map.gz.
There's a search engine for Linux FTP archives at
http://lfw.linuxhq.com/.
Also check out the Freshmeat Web site http://www.freshmeat.net,
which is really cool, even if the logo does look like cat food. ("
What online/free periodicals exist for Linux?" Freshmeat is
basically a site index that continuously updates the notices of new or
upgraded software for Linux.
If you don't find anything, you could download the sources to the
program yourself and compile them. See "How do I port XXX to
Linux?" If it's a large package that may require some porting, post a
message to comp.os.linux.development.apps.
If you compile a large-ish program, please upload it to one or more of
the FTP sites, and post a message to comp.os.linux.announce (submit
your posting to [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
If you're looking for an application program, the chances are that
someone has already written a free version. The comp.sources.wanted
FAQ has instructions for finding the source code.
5.7 Can I use code or a compiler compiled for a 486 on my 386?
Yes, unless it's the kernel.
The -m486 option to GCC, which is used to compile binaries for x486
machines, merely changes certain optimizations. This makes for
slightly larger binaries that run somewhat faster on a 486. They still
work fine on a 386, though, with a small performance hit.
However, from version 1.3.35 the kernel uses 486 or Pentium-specific
instructions if configured for a 486 or Pentium, thus making it
unusable on a 386.
GCC can be configured for a 386 or 486; the only difference is that
configuring it for a 386 makes -m386 the default and configuring for a
486 makes -m486 the default. In either case, these can be overridden
on a per-compilation basis or by editing
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i*-linux/n.n.n/specs.
There is an Alpha version of GCC which knows how to do optimization
well for the 586, but it is quite unreliable, especially at high
optimization settings. The Pentium GCC can be found on tsx-11.mit.edu
in /pub/linux/ALPHA/pentium-gcc. I'd recommend using the ordinary 486
GCC instead; word has it that using -m386 produces code that's better
for the Pentium, or at least slightly smaller.
5.8 What does gcc -O6 do?
Currently, the same as -O2 (GCC 2.5) or -O3 (GCC 2.6, 2.7). Any number
greater than that does the same thing. The

Date: Mon, 08 Mar 1999 02:26:22 GMT
Hi, all! I was converting over from Slackware to Red Hat 5.2 the other day
and being in a hurry to get the install going, and not wanting to wait to ftp
over the last 350 megs of my mp3s over to my windows box, I just copied the
mp3s to a second hard drive on my Slackware system.
So, I install Redhat and first off I had it do an auto "Server" install of Red
Hat. It installs fine and I do a df -k and see that Red Hat didn't mess with
my second drive. Originally I had planned on UNPLUGGING the secondary drive
before installing, but I forgot. So then I re-install Red Hat and manually
partition the boot drive. Not once did I TOUCH the secondary drive with disk
druid.
So, now with Red Hat nicely installed, it won't recognize any partitions on
/dev/sdb. I can see the second drive in fdisk, but can't see or mount any
partitions. Did one of the Red Hat installs blow away this drive? I know
for CERTAIN that I didn't touch sdb when I used fdisk, but I'm thinking maybe
the auto install Red Hat did must have tweaked it a little.
Please someone tell me that there is a way to recover this drive, otherwise
I'm going to lose my precious techno collection of mp3s. sigh
Thank you all very much for any help!

Yeah I know, I could go to the gnome site and check it for myself, but

Try Gnome, you won't be deceived. The actual directory tree of Gnome
