I wish to be able to play (on an internal synth and via the midi port on my
SBlive) and record midi (from the midi port) under mandrake 7.2, KDE 2.1.
Both under KDE2 and now 2.1, the midi/karaoke player reports "Couldn't
open /dev/sequencer. Probably there is another program using it" (but as
far as I know there isn't)
In the control centre under sound/midi, it shows no midi devices at all.
Can anyone tell me for sure that the SBLive supports midi under linux, and
if so, how to enable it?

A primary boot partition of around 16 MB entirely below 1024 cyl should
do. This gives you room for compiling and installing alternate
kernels. Once the kernel loads it has its own software BIOS that can
handle larger drives.

Unfortunately your reply-to address does not show up while composing a
reply.
Since you are only using Linux, you would put LILO in the MBR (which is at
the beginning of the disk and certainly below 1024 cyl, since I think the
MBR is only 512K). LILO and the kernel (in /boot) are what need to be
found using system BIOS. You might need to use the linear lilo option
(whatever the large hard disk HOWTO says).
When I had a 386 BIOS that did not support drive translation, I used a
Promise EideMAX add on card that worked with my existing drive controller
(or can add 3rd & 4th drive). It was $40 (1/2 the price of BIOS upgrade).
This allowed me to use large drives automatically without having to pay
attention to the large drive HOWTO (way back in Slackware 2.0

Verify that the object file "sound.o" is being loaded.
What gives you the command "lsmod"?
Does the "sound" module appear?
If not you _must_ have changed something with the kernel/modules!

But we're discussoing the overall values of "free" vs. propriety
software. Ain't we?
So. That should be part of the total equation too.

man doesn't look to be the problem, you are getting errors from your
disk drive , hdb. You might run fsck on it, see if it can fix anything.
but may be having a hardware failure, which means it's time for a new
drive.

I never used wu-ftpd but I did have difficulty using the built in ftp server.
Instead I went with proftpd and after some troubleshooting with the different
commmands I was able to get the anonymous to work. Here is an example of my
config file:
ServerName "Your Server Name"
ServerType standalone
DefaultServer on
RequireValidShell off
UseFtpUsersoff
ServerIdent on "Your Server Name"
Port21
Umask 022
MaxInstances30
Usernobody
Group nobody
# Allow files to be overwritable.
AllowOverwrite on
# Basic Anonymous configuration.
User ftp
Group ftp
UserAlias anonymous ftp
MaxClients 10
DisplayLogin /usr/local/etc/welcome.msg
HideGroup root
HideGroup root
HideGroup root
AllowAll
DenyAll
This setup hides the lib, etc and bin directory's for simplicity but works fine
otherwise. There are troubleshooting pages available on proftpd's website and
explanations of all of the commands.

Hi!
We have a machine running Squid (Proxy-server) on a Slackware 4-dist.
Yesterday I upgraded from 2.2.6 to 2.2.11, after that two thing has
happened.
1. Every time I boot, I get "System Table has incorrect version number".
I've checked System.map and it's the same new file since I recompiled
the kernel in /System.map /boot/System.map /usr/src/linux/System.map
The vmlinuz-kernel is in "/". What is the solution ?
2. After about 1 hour's uptime the machine stops with the following
error:
"Not enough memory for xxx" where xxx is the process that's trying to do
something. For example, I try to login in to the console, I get "Not
enough memory for agetty". If someone tries to telnet it I get telnetd.
Please, I need some fast help with this. Please answer via _EMAIL_ since
I don't read this newsgroup regular.

I sence some confusion between the loop driver used to mount file
systems contained in a disk file
and the network loopback; something quite different. The network
loopback is normaly always a resident kernel and not a module, as
this driver is always expected to be up.

RMS is too smart for that. He's winning, anyways, without spending hundreds
of thousands of dollars working on a legal battle that would be based on VERY
shakey grounds. Fact is, open source produces better code than closed source.
Besides, there's no money in the software - the real money is in setting up
the software and providing support for it. Microsoft is having a terrible
trying to compete with us, firstly Linux is free, secondly it's better written
and thirdly our development cycle is much faster than there's. As soon as a
non-biased study shows greater performance of NT over Linux in any fashion,
patches are quickly written and Linux becomes faster than NT.

I'm assuming that you want to share an internet connection here...
if that is true, than what you want to do is setup IP Masqurading, and get
the newest IP chains software. There are various HOWTOs out there on
setting it up. You can get IPchains off of www.freshmeat.net.
Also you should probably grab masqdialer. Masqdialer will let you dial the
modem on your Linux box from any other computer on your network. There are
clients for masqdialer for just about every OS out there...it's pretty
easy to set up too. Again you can get masqdialer off of www.freshmeat.net.
Just use the search engine at the top of the page...if you have any
questions, feel free to email me.
cheers,
Mike

Get linux on your 6 gig hard drive in whatever way possible. Make a boot partition on your 16 gig hard drive and make sure that all of it is below 1024 cylinders. Mount your boot partition on /boot. Then make a copy of your /etc/lilo.conf file for reference. Change it to boot=/dev/fd0 #booting from floppy root= prompt delay 100 #pause 10 seconds default=linux image=/boot/ label=linux If you run 'lilo', this will make a boot floppy. The actual reading time from the floppy will be less than a second so it's not an inconvenience. I've never overwritten my mbr so if someone else wants to elaborate on that subject, go ahead.

That appeared to work fine. Now when I go to login as anyone other than root I get a message "System Is Going Down For A Halt Dec 25 at such and such time" and the login fails. I can successfully login as root however. I tried to set the system time back thinking it would shutdown at the specified time and reset itself. This didn't work.
