FIrst, I would suggest that you delete the old modules before intalling the
new ones. Or better yet - change the kernel name so you can have both
sets around. The modules are in:
/lib/modules/kernal_name
Also check:
/etc/modules
/etc/modules.conf

It seems to me that you should need to be root only to INSTALL a kernel.
Anyone with permission to write in /usr/src/linux-[release] should be able to

At least on my Mandrake system the only one with permission to write to
/usr/src/linux is root. So you either need to be root or change the
permissions.

Date: Fri, 09 Mar 2001 19:14:55 GMT
Hello!
Yesterday evening, I intended to upgrade my 2.2 kernel to 2.4.2. I=20
configured everything with "make xconfig", then performed "make dep" and=
=20
"make clean". I copied the bzImage over to /boot and then wanted to=20
create an image-file of the kernel. I got my first doubts, when the=20
system wasn't able to find the command "mkinitrd" anymore. I thought a=20
reboot could help here. During the boot of the old kernel everything=20
seemed to be fine, but when entering graphical login, all I saw was a=20
constantly self-refreshing text-screen. There was an error message there=
,=20
but it was hard to figure out what it said, because as soon as it was=20
displayed the screen would go blank again. What I could figure out of th=
e=20
error message was something like "... gdm.pid seems to be running alread=
y=20
... however it was mysteriously murdered ...".=20
I am able to login in runlevel 2, text-only mode, so there is a chance I=
=20
could fix something if I only knew where to begin! My guess is that "mak=
e=20
clean" deleted some much needed files, however this is just a guess. I=20
looked in /usr/lib, but there was no entry for the 2.4.2 kernel, that's=
=20
all I found out so far.=20
Any help or links to documentation highly appreciated!

Im trying to learn how to program C++ on linux. I started with the
standard hello world script. I compiled with the command;
g++ -o hello hello.cc
Everything seem to go well, but when I try to run:

There was the following error:

What could be the problem? My gcc version is:

That's ok, but a C++ program is not a script. A script would be written in
Perl or other interpreter languages. C and C++ programs are compiled into
machine code, as you did.
Everything seem to go well, but when I try to run:
hello
First: is the executable there and does it have executable properties ? Do a
ls -l hello
I guess all is ok, and just your current directory is not in your path. Try
this:
./hello
bet it works.
Happy programming !

Subject: 3D Hardware Acceleration Not Working for One User
Date: Thu, 03 Aug 2000 00:15:42 GMT
I am using Linux Mandrake 7.1 with an NVidia GeForce 256 DDR with
XFree86 4.0 using the 0.92 NVidia kernel. I am running a 3D visualizer
that uses SGI Performer 2.3.1 as the 3D engine. Up until a few days
ago, everything worked fine with every user, but then the username i use
most often stopped running OpenGL acceleration with both my app that
uses performer and perfly, the SGI OpenFlight model viewer. They now
run using Mesa Software accel, and look like crap. Every other user on
the system, plus root, all work fine with both perfly and my app, they
look awesome. Performer spits out something about using OpenGL 1.2.0
when its workin right, but it says something like OpenGL Mesa 1.2.0 when
the acceleration doesn't work right.
I don't have any programs that run native OpenGL without performer, so
I'm not quite sure if its performer or the NVidia drivers that are
broken.
Does anyone know why acceleration would stop all the sudden for just one
user, and keep workin for everyone else?
Thanks,

You'll also find that you may need to do `make config' in a newly-unpacked kernel source tree, to create linux/autoconf.h. _ 6.11. I Get Errors when I Try to Compile the Kernel. See the previous question regarding the header files. Remember that when you apply a patch to the kernel, you must use the ``-p0'' or ``-p1'' option: otherwise, the patch may be misapplied. See the patch manual page for details. ``ld: unrecognized option `-qmagic''' means that you should get a newer linker, from ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/, in the file binutils-2.8.1.0.1.bin.tar.gz. _ 6.12. How Do I Make a Shared Library? For ELF, gcc -fPIC -c *.c gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libfoo.so.1 -o libfoo.so.1.0 *.o For a.out, get tools-n.nn.tar.gz from tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/src/. It comes with documentation that will tell you what to do. Note that a.out shared libraries are a very tricky business. Consider upgrading your libraries to ELF shared libraries. See the ELF HOWTO, at ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/ _ 6.13. My Executables Are (Very) Large. With an ELF compiler (``What's All This about ELF? glibc?''), the most common cause of large executables is the lack of an appropriate .so library link for one of the libraries you're using. There should be a link like libc.so for every library like libc.so.5.2.18. With an a.out compiler the most common cause of large executables is the -g linker (compiler) flag. This produces (as well as debugging information in the output file) a program which is statically linked--one which includes a copy of the C library instead of a dynamically linked copy. Other things worth investigating are -O and -O2, which enable optimization (check the GCC documentation), and -s (or the strip command) which strip the symbol information from the resulting binary (making debugging totally impossible). You may wish to use -N on very small executables (less than 8K with the -N), but you shouldn't do this unless you understand its performance implications, and definitely never with daemons. _ 6.14. Does Linux Support Threads or Lightweight Processes? As well as the Unix multiprocessing model involving heavyweight processes, which is of course part of the standard Linux kernel, there are several implementations of lightweight processes or threads. Recent kernels implement a thread model, kthreads. In addition, there are the following packages available for Linux. * GNU glibc2 for Linux has optional support for threads. The archive is available from the same place as glibc2, ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ * In sipb.mit.edu:/pub/pthread/ or ftp.ibp.fr:/pub/unix/threads/pthreads. Documentation isn't in the package, but is available on the World Wide Web at http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/proven/home_page.html. Newer Linux libc's contain the pthreads source. The GNU Ada compiler on ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/devel/lang/ada/gnat-3.01-linux+el f.tar.gz contains binaries made from that source code. * In ftp://ftp.cs.washington.edu:/pub/qt-001.tar.Z is QuickThreads. More information can be found in the technical report, available on the same site is /tr/1993/05/UW-CSE-93-05-06.PS.Z. * In gummo.doc.ic.ac.uk/rex/ is lwp, a very minimal implementation. * In ftp://ftp.cs.fsu.edu:/pub/PART/, an Ada implementation. This is useful mainly because it has a lot of Postscript papers that you'll find useful in learning more about threads. This is not directly usable under Linux. Please contact the authors of the packages in question for details. _ 6.15. Where Can I Get lint for Linux? Roughly equivalent functionality is built into GCC. Use the -Wall option to turn on most of the useful extra warnings

I have a SDSL 384/384 installed by GTE. They claim to have it connected to
GTI in Texas. When a GTI person came out to set up the Internet service, he
said he didn't know anything about Slakware, only "pump" on Red Hat. He left
with the service not working because he couldn't find the Red Hat tools on
the system. I have set up the IP-Masquerading and the second NIC (eepro100
= eth1) myself as per various FAQ(s) and HowTo(s). When I do a ping from the
linux box on an IP which is not in my local net, I see the receive light on
the port box connected to the DSL modem flash periodically (about once a
second), but no indication of response (ping hangs). After Ctrl-C, doing an
ifconfig shows eth1 with 10 to 20 Tx packets but no Rx packets. I assume
this means nothing is coming back. Anyone know of a recipe to make this
work?
Also, I rebuilt kernel as stated in HowTo(s) to include IP_MASQ, ..PACKETS
and socket ..FILTERS, but dhcp_client fails with a message saying
"FILTERS..." not in kernel. The .config file in /usr/src/linux says =y for
all of the referenced options and both make config and make xconfig confirm
these. Yes, I did "cp ...zImage /vmlinuz; make modules; make
modules_install; lilo. Is there a problem with linux-2.2.6??

I thought that Red Hat did this as default. I checked the file /etc/X11R6/bin/startx
and it has the -auth switch. So what am I missing here?
* general/icmp INFO The remote hosts answered to an icmp TIMESTAMP request.;This will
give away the remote host current time to an;attacker, and this may help him to bypass
time based ;authentification protocols;Solution : configure your firewalls/router and
deny ICMP TIMESTAMP requests
What is the ipchain command for doing the above mentioned step?
(111/udp) INFO We could connect to the remote;RPC portmapper. This can give
away;interesting informations to an attacker;Solution : filter incoming traffic to
this port
What is the right command for doing this?
Thanks in advance,

Subject: newbie DHCP??
Date: Sun, 23 May 1999 19:45:59 -0400
I am using SuSe Linux 6.1 and just switched over from RH5.1 to this and
now I cannot seem to find a config tool to setup my computer for a DHCP
server. It asked me in setup for my hostname and domain name and I just
put something in but never gave me an option for DHCP access. Does
anyone know something about the Suse OS? or any other ideas please.
thanks in advance

Subject: User Setup Problem
Date: Sun, 23 May 1999 09:40:21 -0400
Can someone explain why I dont seem to be able to confer PPP, POP, or
any other priveleges to a normal user set up per my Linuxconf setup
menu. I go into Linuxconf, set up my normal user account and all the
appropriate buttons are clicked on, but when I run as user, I can't get
to my MODEM or anything else (Usernet tells me I have no access
priveleges available). When I am in ROOT everything is fine except for
the annoying fact that I cannot size my Netscape window to fit the
screen which is so annoying Ive gone back to Windows95 to surf the
Internet. SIGH...
P.S.: RedHat has been ZERO help on all this of course, and their
manual totally opaque.
P.P.S.: I'm running Red HAT Linux version 5.2. I see 6.0 is out. Has
anyone asked why previous owners are unable to unpgrade either for free
or for a nominal sum ?

I am using kde 1.1.1 on SuSE 6.0. I have noticed on both my workstation and
my server that every now and then when I close out an application window
(like navigator or a terminal window) that my panel and taskbar will
disappear. I can't get them back unless I click on the icon to shutdown kde
and then restart it again. Has anyone else experienced this behavior?

I'm new to Linux, but have got everything working (and am very
pleased with the speed) as I want except for news readers. Three
questions:
1 When I try to set up the news reader in Star Office I get an error
message "Connection Failed" when I click on the subscribe tab in the
news properties. So, I can't get the list of newsgroups. I can't see
anything in the options for news, mail or internet that may be causing
this problem. Mail and other news readers are working.
Staroffice is way too bloated for an average desktop machine. Since newsgroups
contain only text -- well ;-) you don't really need a GUI newsreader. slrn is
very fast and supports the mouse and color highlighting. For those
alt.binaries.. you can always use netscape!
2 Is there an off-line newsreader for linux ?
There are several in the pipeline.. krn, et al. Clucnky at this point of time.
3 Does anyone know if Virtual Access runs under wine ? If so is it
32bit or 16bit version.
Agent is known to work well with wine. You might have to get a patch from
last november. Recent releases break agent. I have used 16 bit version
succesfully many months ago. I am not a big fan of agent or any wondows
based newsreader.
Thanks in advance,
D Brown

Mach can easily supports multiple OS at the same time ie it possible
to implement OS/360 on an PC for example. Seeing the same machine
running UNIX and OS/360 could be real fun.
Nixdorf did this for their IBM-compatible mainframes in the early 1980's.
It was done in their Dallas office. The project was chartered to produce
a text processing system. The project leader proposed using an existing
nicely featured system called "troff". All that was necessary was to
port some support software (called "unix") to provide an operating
for the text processor.
Perhaps someone would like to expound on the evolutionary relationship
(if any) between troff and 'runoff', later Digital Standard Runoff, that
some of us are familiar with on VAX machines...

actually, m$ realeasing the source might be good, because a) how many
out of the 10 million users are actually going to hack the source? b)
the ones who do look at the source and understand the inner workings of
that evil os will be exploiting every single security hole that ever
existed in win95!! it'll be cool, there'll be all these thousands of
more ways to fuck up winblows.
