Hi Folks!
Wants to use my ISDN modem in RH7.0 but I am soon giving up. At the moment I
use an ordinary modem and there is no problem.
Tried KPPP and minicom but I can not dial. If someone has a clue to solve
this problem please let me know.
Ps: It works nice in Windoze

I can't answer your question, sorry, but I think it should be possible to
get some of it back, so long as you haven't overwritten it. I'm speculating
that mkfs re-writes the partition table only, in which case you should be
able to access the disk with some low-level tools that don't rely on this.
I had a disk failure a few years back and asked for help in recovering data,
I got some responses, but don't recall specifics. Back-ups are of course the
best way to recover data, so if you weren't doing them, you should think
about it seriously. hold out and you'll probably get a more knowledgeable
response about disk recovery.

Linux-Misc Digest #235
Linux-Misc Digest #235, Volume #26Sun, 5 Nov 00 04:13:02 EST Contents: Linux Frequently Asked Questions with Answers (Part 4 of 6) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Crossposted-To: news.answers,comp.answers Subject: Linux Frequently Asked Questions with Answers (Part 4 of 6) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 05 Nov 2000 08:38:17 GMT This is due, apparently, to some form of buffer overrun. It occurs both with Linux and Microsoft servers. On Linux systems, The problem seems to occur most commonly with the distribution's server software. One remedy is to be replacing the distribution FTP server with the Linux port of the OpenBSD FTP server. The home page is: http://www.eleves.ens.fr:8080/home/madore/programs/ To install the BSD server, follow the installation instructions, and refer to the manual pages for inetd and inetd.conf. Be sure to tell inetd to run the BSD daemon alone, not as a subprocess of, for example, tcpd. Comment out the line that begins "ftp" in the /etc/inetd.conf file and replace it with a line similar to (if you install the new ftpd in /usr/local/sbin/): # Original entry, commented out. #ftpstream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.ftpd # Replacement entry: ftp stream tcp nowait root/usr/local/sbin/ftpd -l The replacement daemon will become effective after rebooting or sending (as root) a SIGHUP to inetd, e.g.: # kill -HUP inetd 7.2. Free Dumps Core. In Linux 1.3.57 and later, the format of /proc/meminfo was changed in a way that the implementation of free doesn't understand. Get the latest version, from metalab.unc.edu, in /pub/Linux/system/Status/ps/procps-0.99.tgz. 7.3. Netscape Crashes Frequently Netscape shouldn't crash, if it and the network are properly configured. Some things to check: * Make sure that the MOZILLA_HOME environment variable is correctly set. If you installed Netscape under /usr/local/netscape/, for example, that should be the value of MOZILLA_HOME. Set it from the command line (e.g, "export MOZILLA_HOME="/usr/local/netscape"" under bash or add it to one your personal or system initialization files. Refer to the manual page for your shell for details. * If you have a brand-new version of Netscape, try a previous version, in case the run-time libraries are slightly incompatible. For example, if Netscape version 4.75 is installed (type "netscape --version" at the shell prompt), try installing version 4.7. All versions are archived at ftp://ftp.netscape.com/. * Netscape uses its own Motif and Java Runtime Environment libraries. If a separate version of either is installed on your system, ensure that they aren't interfering with Netscape's libraries; e.g., by un-installing them. * Make sure that Netscape can connect to its default name servers. The program will appear to freeze and time out after several minutes if it can't. This indicates a problem with the system's Internet connection; likely, the system can't connect to other sites, either. 7.4. FTP Server Won't Allow Logins. This would happen if the FTP server daemon is responding to clients, but doesn't allow logins. On new systems that have Pluggable Authentication Modules installed, look for a file named, "ftp," in the directories /etc/pam/ or /etc/pam.d/. If the file doesn't exist, the instructions for configuring FTP authentication and other PAM configuration, should be in /usr/doc/pam-. On older systems, make sure that the account exists in /etc/passwd, especially "anonymous." If the host machine doesn't respond to FTP clients at all, then the FTP daemon is not installed correctly, or at all. Refer to the manual pages: inetd, inetd.conf, and ftpd. 7.5. How Do I Keep Track of All My Bookmarks in Netscape? This probably applies to most other browsers, too. In the Preferences/Navigator menu, set your home page to Netscape's bookmarks.html file, which is located in the .netscape (with a leading period) subdirectory. For example, if your login name is "smith," set the home page to: file://home/smith/.netscape/bookmarks.html Setting up your personal home page like this will present you with a nicely formatted (albeit possibly long) page of bookmarks when Netscape starts. And the file is automatically updated whenever you add, delete, or visit a bookmarked site. 7.6. The Computer Has the Wrong Time. There are two clocks in your computer. The hardware (CMOS) clock runs even when the computer is turned off, and is used when the system starts up and by DOS (if you use DOS). The ordinary system time, shown and set by date, is maintained by the kernel while Linux is running. You can display the CMOS clock time, or set either clock from t

Subject: problems running Linux Mandrake in GUI
Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2000 14:30:03 GMT
hello again... sorry to bother you one more time with my questions..
I couldnt get my linux mandrake 7.1 to start on a GUI interface, because
when i typed startx in the console, the action looked as if was going to
work but at the end it gave me an error message. After rebooting a couple
of times and typing startx or xinit, i gave up and reinstall the whole
thing again. After the reboot i came up in the X interface and even i
rebooted the system once and came up fine.. The problem started when i
shut down the system. Later when i turned on my computer it didnt go to
the X interface but in the console. I tried giving all types of commands
and still would give me the error message. Can somebody help me? I'm
running Linux in a Gateway 9150 366 Mhz 10 Gb drive 96Mb RAM DVD drive
SuperDisk Drive.
Thanks for your help!!!

Well, part of the deal is that you didn't do any debugging. If you
had, you would probably have found your problem.
If you break your loop action down, you should see the problem. The
inner loop completes in its entirety the first time you enter it --
the first time you enter the outer loop. Then the outer loop
completes. The inner loop is never reentered because after the first
pass, it tests false every time. The loops work exactly as expected
for the way you set them up.
Add `echo "acount is $acount" ' at the end of your outer loop and you
will see this in action.

edit the /etc/inittab file and change the line saying id:5:initdefault:

Alternitively you could re-run Xconfigurator and say no to starting X at

I have found problems with /dev/sequencer. As long as I talk directly
to /dev/midi?? and do the timing on my own, everything is fine, but
the driver can hang in /dev/sequencer (which is the interface used by
playmidi or rosegarden). Whether this is a problem peculiar to my

software problem. The card itself is working great ...

Or use C-Kermit instead of FTP, which can send files all the files in a

And for a specific example of synchronizing two directory trees:

who maintain the pages you changed.

The purpose of rpm is to be sure you don't remove anything that is still
needed by some other application. That's the only diference with rm
(except that rpm knows which files belong to which package while I often
don't). This works quite well if you only install apps using rpm. If you
compile yourself some progs you can never be sure you won't need that or
that library. (actually you can try and uninstall the libs, see if your
apps still work, and if they don't put the lib back).

I'm going to ask this to be generous. Do you mean that you've found
the hardware that you're running NT on very reliable and want to run
linux on the same hardware?
If you mean "Can I run linux the same way that I would a normal
program?" then the answer is basically no. You could manage to run it
through an emulator, but that would be completely absurd, and would
probably crash even more than My NT boxes do, which would be scary.

I'm an owner of an Canon LBP-660 laser printer designed for
WindowsNT/95. Now I wonder if there is an existing driver for that
printer. It would be nice to be able to use it even in Linux!
Thank's in advance for all possible answers.

My Debian 2.0 installation doesn't have any /dev/cua*. I use ttyS1 for
my modem (Com2). Newer versions of Linux are getting away from using
/dev/cua, for what reason I don't know. Try changing all reference to
the modem port as ttyS2. Also, use the 'lock' option in
/etc/ppp/options. I assume that "poff" is a script that kills the
pppd process.
