OK. Given that I have an MPEG file, how would I best convert it
to a format for a VCD? Any special concerns when doing the actual burn?

I tried this BrainJar menu in a web site for our school's PTA. Damn was
I suprised how many people did not have a recent browser. They all had
Netscape 4.7x. I suggested to a few that they upgrade. A couple did, and then
I got concerned calls because their bank did not support the 'new' browser.
So, I sadly had to remove the menus...

Re: Video CD

[Roger Oberholtzer]

I have MainActor and BroadCast 2000 (before it went away). I don't
do any editing yet. This is what I am starting to look into. But
if the intended VCD player does not plat CD-R discs, I'm dead in the
water. That is why I wanted to do a test.

mozilla and site cert for apache

[m.w.chang]

I used mozilla to access my apache server via the https procotol. It 
complained about invalid certificate. I didn't get the same error from 
both IE or netscape 4. I couldn't find an relevant option in mozilla 
preferences. What did I miss?



I followed the www.apache.org's 3 steps in making the cert. Again, the 
error came only with mozilla, not with Netscape 4 or IE.

/var/log/httpd/ssl_engine_log:

Yes. I noticed that when I used mozilla to browser my company's website. 
The website guy refused to entertain mozilla until now. The banks may 
have other security concerns I guess they mostly trust IE and 
branded mozilla (netscape) only.

OK. I downloaded the sample that is a PAL VCD called pal-vid-vcd.mpg.

This is the info from that file:

Video 352x288 resolution
Audio MPEG-1 Layer 2 224kbit/s 44100Hz stereo
Size: 929600
Total time: 5.706667

Newbie time: can this be burned directly to the vcd disc? There is a FAQ
at the site, but I could not determine if the file is already processed as
needed and ready to burn. The text at the download said:

Captured TV broadcast - default settings. Strict VCD/SVCD specs.

Do I need to convert this file to a .cdr file to use it with crrdao?

I usually tell Netscape to pretend to be another browser for these sites.
I just do no want to suggest this to others when they are doing their banking.
Even though this works fine with my bank.

I have the stock kernel. 2.4.2

Sounds like the same problem - whatever it is - to me.

I have no experience with laptops, unfortunately.  Laptops are a mixed
bag with any distro (YMMV).  I suggest you search the gentoo user list
archives at the following url.

BTW, I'm forwarding to the list.  Doug Hunley apparently has a working
gentoo laptop.

This is what I was looking for. I see that the mpeg file I downloaded

Re: lycoris

[Michael Hipp]

It is Remond Linux (but they haven't released one branded as Lycoris yet.)

I used it for some time and might yet go back to it.  It is a very well 
thought-out design. It is a simplified Linux in that alot of stuff someone 
experienced with Linux would expect to find just isn't there.

IMHO, if they would just bundle OpenOffice (and kill off koffice) into it and 
update a few other packages like Mozilla and throw in a few more power-user 
items, it would be the best desktop Linux around. So I'm waiting to see the 
next release.

If you have a spare partition, I'd encourage you to give it a try. It's about 
the easiest install you'll ever do. It installs easier than any version of 
Windows and shows how well desktop LInux *could* be done.

Like someone said, it is what Caldera should have been (less a bit of the 
simplification).

Re: lycoris

[Lee]

I had the finished version hanging around for six months before I
installed it on my Intel 810. The thing really impressed me. This is the
desktop that Caldera should have built as it seems to be a logical
extension of e2.4's virtues without the bugs. Kernel-wise it's built on
the 2.4.14 kernel. Installation was a snap, and this was on a box that
would not only not install 3.1 or LTP but sent me an error message that
said these two Caldera distros couldn't be installed on the machine
(intel mb with 810e chipset, 366mhz cpu, 512 meg memory). If anything
the installation was a little too easy. Almost Windowese. It did fail to
find my printer and modem, but both were on the menu list during
install. Two feature that really impressed me were the bundled packages
for taking photos and the cd burner. I have a fondness for iomega
burners and haven't had too much luck with them on Linux. Was delighted
to find after installation that the burner package installed and was set
up to identify my burner and burn copies on the fly. The first thing I
did was burn a copy of the Redmond (Lycoris) install cd. A couple of
minor annoyances. The distro only comes with the Mozilla browser. If you
download Netscape 6.2 Mozilla takes it over, but I can live with that
and downloaded Opera as my backup browser. The other weird thing is that
the distro comes bundled with the frontend of the Sane scanner program,
but not the backend.

All in all I think it's a damned good distro. As I said before it's the
desktop Caldera should have made.

Guess that's how you define "ordinary".  But an amped omni on a tower they
could see with them using unamp'd high gain antennas pointing at you would
work just fine.  The catch would be your terrain & vegetation.  The do
have to have line-of-sight to you.  I currently use this very

signal strength (in fact, I can use my laptop 3 miles away w/ a 3dbi 2in

Re: linux kernel recompile

[Matthew Carpenter]

The .spec file is used with rpm to create the .rpm files we all know and
love.  Inside it contains information like package description, files
included, dependencies, configure/make procedures, installation/removal
procedures, etc  Look at an existing one to see what I mean... 
Checkinstall creates these in the process of creating it's RPMs.  I
probably wouldn't take the Kernel spec as the first one to look at and
learn from, tho.

Normally RPM building takes place in /usr/src/OpenLinux (for Caldera).  In
that directory you'll find the following dirs:
RPMS-location of the finished products
SRPMS   -not necessarily used, but where SRPMS are put when built
SPECS   -location of the aforementioned .spec files
SOURCES -location of the tar.gz or .tgz files
BUILD   -temp area (tgz's are untarred and configure/make/make install is
done)

Once it looks the way you want it to look, you type something like the
following command to create binary RPMs

rpm -bb /usr/src/OpenLinux/SPECS/whateverpackage.spec

In the case of the Linux Kernel, this will create a bunch of rpm's,
including kernel-binary, kernel-include, and a lot of hardware-specific
source files.

.config files are the files created by the ./configure process (or, in the
case of the Kernel, make xconfig or make menuconfig, etc...)


Does this all make sense?

Suspicious mail

[Kevin O'Gorman]

I just got the oddest mail from someone I don't know.  Not the
usual spam, either.  Here are the main headers

>  
> Content-Type: application/octet-stream;

There follows only the encoded data of what may be a Word document.
The subject of cellspacing would usually have a slight interest
for me, but I have no idea what a 'Reso Certification' might be.

Anybody else seen this?  If so, you should probably ditch it,
but I'm a bit curious.   Not enough to unpack this thing, but
curious anyway.

I see this (not sure if its the problem though):
readv(3, [{"level.highlightBackground:\t#dcdc"..., 12757}, {"\2269\0",
3}], 2) = 1892
readv(3, 0xb8b4, 2) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
readv(3, [{"c\n*Entry.background:\t#ff\n*En"..., 10865}, {"\2269\0",
3}], 2) = 2048
readv(3, 0xb8b4, 2) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)

Can you strace gramofile too?  Also, did you build these from source?
That might fix the problem.

SCSI Problems

[Condon Thomas A KPWA]

Folks,

I'm having some problems detecting my SCSI scanner (Microtek E3) correctly
using SuSE 8.0.  If I have the scanner on when I boot it detects *many* (in
excess of 20) scanners.

Could some kind soul point me toward a SCSI probe command that would allow
me to determine what is on the bus with the scanner on an off (in case of
duplicate IDs)?  I have a couple of HDs, a CDRW, a Zip drive, and the
scanner on the SCSI bus if memory serves me correctly.

Thanks in advance.

Re: How many Boxen?

[Kevin O'Gorman]

I've got a few:

1. My wife's PIII-450 running Win Me (she loves it, and it keeps her
   occupied and happy, so what the hell).  Purchased from Pionex
   by way of a QVC daily special value.

2. My laptop (occasionally), and old P-150 from WinBook, dual
   booting Win98 and RH.  I use it rarely any more, it used to
   be a workhorse.

3. My server, many time made over, none of the original parts left,
   originally purchased as a 486-33 at a computer show, back when
   I was running ESIX, and was networking by UUCP.  It's now a
   P-133, 64MB (yeah, I know, a lame server, but it does enough),
   SCSI drives, Jaz, CDROM and 2 NICS

4. My personal machine, purchased from Pionex by way of QVC, also
   a daily special value.  PIII-550, 256MB, mixture of IDE and
   SCSI drives.  2xJaz, CD-R, 2 NICS.  Dual boots to Win 98 mostly
   to read photos off my digital camera, and for special runs of
   an application that doesn't run well for me under Win4Lin.
   The other boot is RH7.1 with Win4Lin (for quicken).

5. Linksys router to protect the Windoze machines, and provides a
   100MB switch for the local machines to share stuff.  That
   uplinks to a 10MB hub and thence to a DSL modem.  There is thus
   an inner 100MB network and an outer 10MB network, which is
   why the Linux boxen have 2 NICs.

If the scanner is powered off, it won't be seen at all.  At any rate, what
you want is:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Also note that you can get similar information by booting into the SCSI
BIOS.

Re: Video CD

[Matthew Carpenter]

How about converting ASF and DiVX movies to VCD?  My DVD player will
handle CDR/VCD's but not cd's with ASF or DiVX (WMP-style AVI).

OOo Testimonial

[Matthew Carpenter]

I have been using the SO beta since it came out and up until it "expired".
 I begrudgingly installed OOo 1.0 when it came out.  I hate installing
software.

I just had to turn in my on-call hours to my boss.  I do mine using
OpenCalc, and save as .XLS and attach that to an email.  I used to use
StarCalc, of course.  Each time I would open in Excel the files saved in
StarCalc, things would just be funny... like a cell being bolded or odd
formatting for numbers in the same column...  

Before turning in my time sheet, I openned it in Excel, and voila... it
was perfect.  YMMV, but I have instant respect for the OOo filter for XLS.
 I'd be interested in others' experiences as well.  I have always been a
little shy when exchanging stuff done in SO, because I want my Linux-usage
to go unnoticed by certain people so that when they find out I use it,
they are shocked.  No, I feel a bit more confident that what I'm sending
will look to others as I think it looks.

Keystroke Capture

[Condon Thomas A KPWA]

Folks,

Does anyone know of a function/product/tool that will allow us to capture
all incoming keystrokes from the keyboard for investigation?

We are getting an intermittent lockup that seems to be triggered by a
keystroke pattern from a particular brand of keyboard and need to decipher
*why*.

My understanding and comment was (from using Win 95 and DOS) that Windows 
98 and ME would work transparently with a RAID controller card.  Linux, and 
the NT family (including both versions of XP) need their own drivers for 
RAID cards, and even basic IDE or SCSI.  Yes, Win 98 will be around a long 
time, as will Windows 2000--look how many people are even still using Win 
95 or NT.  But if it isn't supported by the manufacturer, that in itself is 
pressure to upgrade.

If Back Office works on Win 98, or even WinNT WS/ Win2000 Pro that makes it 
an (expensive) option.  Without it, SQL Server is like MySQL or 
Sybase--someone would have to quickly become a lot more of a database 
expert than it sounds like they are.

Fw: Lycoris

Subject: [rl-announce] Lycoris Desktop/LX Continues Grow in Popularity, Receives


Lycoris Desktop/LX Continues Grow in Popularity, Receives
Favorable Reviews and Hits the Shelves at Fry's Electronics


Redmond, WA - May 29th, 2002 -- In response to the needs of
its customers, Lycoris has begun distribution in the retail space.
Their flagship products, Desktop/LX Personal and Desktop/LX Deluxe,
are now available at Fry's Electronics retailers. Desktop/LX has also
enjoyed continued publicity with reviews in Forbes, The Washington Post 
and Personal Computer World among others. The next few months promise to 
be exciting, as Lycoris prepares to release Update 2 for its popular
operating system and launch its ProductivityPak, a full office suite
based on Open Office.

Desktop/LX was given 4 stars by Barry Shalliday
of Britain's Personal Computer World, and Stephen Manes,
writing for Forbes magazine, gives Desktop/LX the edge over Red Hat,
stating, "Desktop/LX made it simple to access Windows systems on
my network; Red Hat never managed that feat." With the
continuing publicity, and more on the way, Lycoris is quickly
establishing itself as a new player in the operating system software
market.

The increasing sales of Desktop/LX have prompted Lycoris to bring
on more staff to accommodate demand for
fulfillment. Desktop/LX sales have already outpaced the cumulative
first quarter numbers in the first two months of the second quarter.

"We are thrilled with the wide acceptance of Desktop/LX and with the 
reviews we have recently received.
As we prepare for the release of Update 2, our next version of 
Desktop/LX, as well as our Productivity Pak,
we will continue to make Linux easier, more usable, and more accessible 
for regular people.
We see the launch of our retail channel as the next step in that 
progression," states CTO and Founder, Joseph Cheek.

As more end users make Desktop/LX their choice for desktop
operating system, the Desktop/LX community grows in parallel. Lycoris
has also had to increase the capacity and bandwidth for its Community
Website, lycoris.org to accommodate for
more Desktop/LX users.

With an eye on the future, Lycoris sees retail distribution as a
key to wider acceptance of Desktop/LX as the new choice of desktop
operating system. To that end, Lycoris has secured the first retail
outlet to carry Desktop/LX, Fry's Electronics. With six stores in
Northern California and seven stores in Southern California, four
stores in Texas, two stores in Arizona, and one store in Oregon,
coupled with a dedicated technology market focus, Fry's is a perfect
match for Lycoris as it starts its retail exposure.


About Lycoris

Lycoris, located in Redmond, Washington, was founded in 2000 with
a vision of making Linux simple enough for anyone to use. Lycoris
makes open source applications easy to use and integrates them into
Desktop/LX, their Linux desktop.

About Fry's Electronics

Fry's Electronics, Inc. was founded in 1985 in Sunnyvale,
California in a 20,000 square foot location by the three Fry
brothers, John, Randy, and Dave, and Kathryn Kolder. Fry's is a
closely held private company, and all of the founders are actively
involved in the daily operation of the business. Fry's was founded as
a Silicon Valley retail electronics store in order to provide a
one-stop-shopping environment for the Hi-tech Professional. Fry's has
been keeping Hi-Tech Professionals supplied with products
representing the latest technological trends and advances in the
personal computer marketplace for over 17 years. Fry's retails over
50,000 electronics items within each store.

Ok! No it really does not, but you writing is gorgeous .
I have seen and noted for experimentation that there is a swithch in rpm 
(rpm -ta) that is supposed to make an rpm out of a tarball: rpm -ta 
vcr.xx-xx-x.tar.gz ...I have yet to try it successfully on a file that 
does not have any dependencies but am too busy doing small libs and video 
files with checkinstall.

However i will have to get to see if it does work and also look at making 
rpms for files that do not do a 'make install'.

Might hold onto this and ask when i run into trouble.

Just a thought that if it plays on your computer in a dedicated vcd player 
then!

I haven't followed this thread, and I follow even less this para (in fact,
just what _are_ you trying to say here?).  However, M$ bought their SQL
engine from Sybase (a pretty decent SQL server, BTW).  But to compare
either of them to MySQL is blasphemy to someone who knows about SQL
servers and what they are/do.  The operative word is ACID, and MySQL
isn't.  MySQL is a fancy filesystem.  It lacks atomicity, referential
integrity (a pretty big deal all by itself), and can even be argued to
lack consistency.  In fact, about the only thing that can be said for
MySQL is that it's fast.

RE: SCSI drives

[Condon Thomas A KPWA]

Tony,

It took me a while to find it, because they have changed their website
significantly, and I've been using a hard copy for the last 8-10 years, but
this Seagate URL:
http://www.seagate.com/support/kb/disc/scsirev.html

will give a pretty good run down of the various SCSI terms in use, what they
mean and how they relate.

Adaptec has a pretty good page on mixing wide and narrow SCSI devices

Thanks.  I did find out that my Ultra 2 Wide SCSI controller will also

Sircam is one of the more interesting worms that feed on thw

from the victim's machine, mailing them to everybody in their
Outhouse address book.  I haven't seen any commentary on this
addressing the fact that the documents mailed out could well be
private, proprietary data, or anything else that one wouldn't

That's the part I'd have real difficulty with. Throttle the bandwidth is 
one thing, to limit it to a 10k connection to download as ISO image 
without incurring the wrath of God is too much. Or are there other ways 
that you know of such as scripting an ftp session to quit after an hour, 
wait 4, go for another hour with regatta, and on and on?

> height matter as long as it is line-of-sight?

I'm using a 500mW amp over 100' of LMR-400 w/ a 8dbi omni, pointing at it
I'm using mostly 21 and 24dbi grids or 18dbi flat panels, but at the same
distances I've used 3dbi extenders and gotten good signal (ranges up to
about 3mi/5km).  With two 24dbi grids using 500mW amps you can transmit
and receive up to 30 mi (50km).  Here in Panama, the law allows for up to
4Watts at the antenna.  That would basically allow me to transmit between
any two points over flat terrain using 100' towers.  That's a long way.

antenna height:  OK, you're asking the right question.  An omni, while it
has a horizontal 360 degree fan, has a vertical fan of only about 22
degrees.  So an antenna 1 mile away would theoretically have to be within
100 feet vertically of a perfectly horizontal omni.  In practice, I have
yet to have vertical differences give me any great problem.  OTOH, my
antennae are deliberately over-kill.  And while you shouldn't be able (by
the book) to see the signal from an omni nearly directly below it, you
will.  Reasons: there are small lobes with vertical components, you have a
phenomenon called a ground plane, and you're just too bloody close not to
see a signal.  You'll have to look up the ground plane calculation, but
it's based on the height of the antenna to the ground.  The higher up, the
larger the ground plane.

Also remember, all this "25 degrees vertical, 45 degrees horizontal" is
designed so that you'll see a 5db signal within the cone.  But even 3db
could give you an acceptable signal (and that's well outside the cone).

Your biggest problem will be line-of-sight (LOS).  Even a tree branch with
leaves on it will pose a problems (although the signal will pass right
through clear glass).

Caution: most countries don't permit amp'd omnis.  Please check your
country's laws regarding frequencies, power output, and directionalness of
the signal beam (directionalness -- what the hell am I smoking? gotta be a
new word, I should trademark it).

AFAIK it is built on eD2.4 and it is supposedly the release that 3.0 + should 
have been but was not. In upgrades and also the ease of installation plus the

Re: How many Boxen?

[Michael Hipp]

Yes, you could do that. It wouldn't even have to be that extreme.
Usually if you stop using the link for a full "clock" hour the FAP will
go away. So you could probably do something like start the download at
:05 after, stop it at :55 and resume it an hour later at :05. But I'm
just guessing as I don't really know Hughes' FAP algorithm.

I wrote them some eloquent hatemail saying I thought it was the most
customer-hostile policy I'd ever seen from an ISP. They haven't written
back.

Start with the install GUI. Pure Caldera. If you didn't know that it was
Redmond you'd swear you were installing e2.4 except it does a better job
of auto detecting. Once installed the GUI bootup is Caldera except that
it says Redmond where Caldera would normally be presented. Once
installed it runs as smooth as silk although a little slow opening up
the bundled Mozilla browser. Put the boot in the mbr for a dual boot and
the boot selection screen is pure caldera.I installed it on a box that
had e2.4 on it, but there were some annoying bugs like Netscape mail
would drop out on an irregular basis when I hit Get Message. That
doesn't happen with Redmond. It has a few things in the distro that are
kind of neat. The cd burner runs straight out of the package with my
iomega burner, so does the camera photo package. And unlike 3.1 getting
the cdrom and floppy icons is not a hassle. All you have to do is drop
and drag the icons out of the My Linux icon. Built on the 2.4.14 kernel
the thing appears to be Super 2.4, but Caldera never went that way and
they missed the boat. It is nice to know that after Caldera folds there
will still be a Caldera like distro out there.

Re: lycoris

[Tim Wunder]

IIRC, it's based on 3.1
The Redmond linux betas were hot and heavy during the time that Caldera was 
running their 3.1 beta.
I'm pretty sure Lycoris is based on eW3.1...

Re: Gramofile problems - can't record anything

[Tim Wunder]

I'm beginning to think it's a glibc problem...I'm not sure why, just a gut 
feeling at this point.
I've gotten several error references to /lib/libc.so.6 which is a symlink to 
libc-2.2.4.so
I don't know. Perhaps I'll back out the updated glibc rpm, return to the stock 
glibc, and see what happens...
Thanks, 
Tim

Or expect, which is surely already installed. You can even play it back
to see if it is repeatable. Provided the codes make it out of the kernel.
If there is a lockup, then a user-level app may be too late in the chain to
tell very much. Have you checked for debugging options on the kernel
keyboard stuff? Don't know if there is any, but you mey gety lucky. Does
this heppen in X or in console mode? And, what exactly gets locked up?

I had hoped that would be the case. So I was going to jump in and use
cdrdao. That was when it appeared that you cannot just put the mpeg file on
the disc. I was (I think - not sure at this point) trying to use a utility
to set up the mpeg file for eventual burinig. The program, vcdimager, died
as follows:

 $ ./vcdimager -pv pal-vid-vcd.mpg --cue-file=xx.cue --bin-file=xx-bin

--DEBUG: initializing libvcd 0.6.2 [linux-gnu/i686]
   INFO: scanning mpeg track #0 for scanpoints...
**ERROR: mpeg scan: pack header code expected, but 0x01b9 found (buflen= 2324)

Not what I expected. Obviously thre file format is not accepted by this
utility. It seems the only format options are related to output format.
