I do not think Caldera is too much worry about it.

I remember the Caldera mail list with 100 - 150 messages a day, nowdays
you can get one or two messages each one or two days.
:(

Just a couple of comments on the list, one to tell about unsubscribing

Really sad ¡¡¡

I still have too systems working with Caldera Openlinux 3.1.1 and one
with Openlinux 3.1 but I am testing some other distros: Suse and
debian (libranet).

Problem installing Galeon

2003-03-09 Thread Iraj Medifar
Hi everyone:

Would someone please help me figure this out:

I just tried to upgrade to galeon-1.2.8-7.x_8.0.i386 but realized that I first had to 
upgrade to mozilla-1.3b-0_gtk2_xft.i386. 
Well, I did that, too. However, when I try to upgrade galeon, I get this message: 
"libgtksuperwin.so is needed by galeon-1.2.8-7.x_8.0". 

Sounds strange to me, because libgtksuperwin happens to be sitting right in 
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.3b. Any solution?

TIA

FWIW, I run X-Win32 at work (to connect from Win2K to linux), 
http://www.starnet.com/
Cygwin seemed to be more trouble than it was worth and I gave up on that 
before going to VNC. I abandoned VNC for X-Win32 a couple months ago, still 
running the evaluation version and it's been great, YMMV...

That depends on what you're doing.  I certainly use rsync extensively, but
my main point was to demonstrate one place where ``comm'' can be very
useful.  Unlike ``diff'', comm simply produces lists of files which can
then be used for a variety of things.

``There's more than one way to do it'' doesn't only apply to perl.

That's the ticket. As a rule, you usually can't compile things without
header files. Autoconf could do a better job of issuing error messages
that tell you what it is *really* looking for when it says it can't 
find something. But, at least you go it worked out.

Re: First impressions of a $200 lindows box: Good

2003-03-09 Thread Joel Hammer
Well I joined the warehouse.

I am not sure what I am getting for my money, but on the upside:
1. I couldn't download gnucash with synaptic or get-apt, but it came in
nicely with the warehouse.
2. Staroffice wasn't available with synaptic but it was with the warehouse.
3. When you install from the warehouse, you get a nice icon on  the
desktop without any hassle.

Aside from that, I am not too impressed. You are given the impression
that the software in the warehouse has been tested for lindows, but I am
being to think that they don't test this software on their own stuff.
Abiword gave me the unix font error and Doom froze my computer and
corrupted my ext2 partition on the hd I added to this machine (couldn't
repair it with fsck, it's gone). I really wanted to run xine, but xine
from synaptic froze my computer and the x server wouldn't restart again,
so I had to reinstall lindows. I was thinking that xine from the warehouse
would be safe, but, now I doubt it.

So, although I am enthused over the computer and lindows at the price,
I think the warehouse needs to be what it says it is to be worth the
money they are charging for it .

Would rsync be an easier way to do this?  Use the 'n' option first to see 
what files would be copied...  then without the 'n' option to do the 
copying

Something like:

rsync -avrn /pathto/dir1/ /pathto/dir2/

Then remove the 'n'

But whatever works.

Yes, I was not clear enough.  What I was suggesting was to install gentoo once (per 
machine image, P3, Athlon, etc.) on your base system(s) and then to make a tarball of 
those systems to distribute to customers on CD.  You would then keep the mother 
system(s) up to date and distribute new CDs at whatever interval you deem appropriate. 
 Alternatively, for updates you could distribute the updates as binary ebuilds.

That's fine for some things, but consider two directories that
are very similar, and you want to find which files are in dir2
that aren't in dir1.

cd dir1
find . -type f | sort > /tmp/list1
cd dir2
find . -type f | sort > /tmp/list2
comm -13 /tmp/list1 /tmp/list2 > /tmp/list3

Now /tmp/list3 has a list of all files in dir2 that aren't in dir1.
Perhaps you want to copy all the files from dir2 that aren't in
dir1, now you can run:

cpio -pdumv dir1 < /tmp/list3

Re: ntp server: mulitiple interfaces

2003-03-09 Thread Joel Hammer
I think  I have solved the problem but as usual I am not sure what it was.

There were three anomalies:

1. The output of peer with ntpq had no "tattletails" by the names of the servers.
eg:
 remote   refid  st t when poll reach   delay   offset jitter
==
hammer2.jhammer tock.usno.navy.  2 u   38   64  3770.871  -68.400 9.995

This is supposed to mean that the server is not being used.

2. When I ran "ntpdate", I got no available servers.
Running "ntpdate hammer2" gave me a time and an offset, but it wouldn't
synchronize.

3. When I ran ntpdate localclient, I got connection refused.

Well, to make a long story short, I removed the firewall on the local
client, opened up an explicit hole in the firewall on the server, changed
the client's timezone from West Coast to East Coast, and started up ntpd
on the localclient (yes, I had turned it off).

Now, nptq gives :
 remote   refid  st t when poll reach   delay   offset jitter
==
*hammer2.jhammer tock.usno.navy.  2 u   24   64  3770.865  -57.682 5.495

So, things seem to be working.

Joel

Okay, well, you don't really have libuuid installed, then, becuase
you need the headers for it. The Qt stuff is worthless in this respect,
and something that lives only in your kernel sources shouldn't be
used either. If you like, I have a statically-linked parted binary
tarball located on ftp.kurtwerks.com:/pub/parted-bin-1.6.5.tar.gz that
you're welcome to use. Because it is statically-linked, parted will run
even if the proper libraries are not already installed.

Fw: [KOMPANY-ANNOUNCE] SCO/Caldera support

2003-03-09 Thread el lodger
Here's a company that won't support SCO.

Begin forwarded message:

Date: Sun, 09 Mar 2003 14:25:39 -0800
From: Shawn Gordon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: [KOMPANY-ANNOUNCE] SCO/Caldera support


My first real try at Linux was Caldera 1.2, and i really liked it. 
Later 
Caldera raised the bar with their Lizard installer, it was a major leap 
forward in Linux ease of use.  Then Caldera went public, and started
going 
a bit loopy with various acquisitions, in particular the acquisition of 
SCO, which is now the name of the company.  A few days ago SCO filed a
$1 
BILLION dollar lawsuit against IBM, the basis for which is essentially
this:

Linux could not have made so much progress so quickly unless IBM had
used 
their knowledge of Unix through their licensed AIX, to do it.  You can
read 
a short summary story at 
http://newsforge.com/newsforge/03/03/07/1728239.shtml?tid=3

Now as some have opined, it would appear a ploy on SCO's part to get IBM
to 
just purchase them since their market cap is only $22 Million, far less 
than their lawsuit.  In any case, we, like many, find this behavior 
despicable on SCO's part and will not support them in any way any 
more.  It's not like SCO/Caldera was a player any more on the desktop, 
their last release was about 18 months ago in this market.

SCO will have a hard time explaining why they waited over 4 years
to decide IBM left them at the altar. SCO will have an even harder
time demonstrating that major advances in Linux performance and 
architecture that happened *before* IBM got involved were the result
of IBM disclosing proprietary knowledge. For example, much of the
original IA-32 SMP work was done by Alan Cox, on a machine that
Caldera gave him: "He is also the author of the original Linux 
SMP code, which was sponsored by Caldera Inc."

SCO was the looser big time. As I wrote earlier.

Not that I agree with SCO suing IBM over this. It seems to be too much too

What does ``lsof -n -i | grep ntp'' show?  I see xntpd listening on all
interfaces on one of our dual homed servers.

RPM maintains dependency information, particularly well implemented in the
source RPMS in the openpkg system.  They have a script that generates an
XML file with dependency information as well as from parsing the package's
spec files to gather information on options selected during the build
process.  This file can then be used to update in much the same manner as
the FreeBSD ports and various non-RPM Linux systems as well.

The problems are very different when one is maintaining a small number of
systems as opposed to supporting a large number of systems which may well
not all be on the same base platform.  Using a package management system
that's totally independent of the distribution's simplifies life
considerably.  Using openpkg I no longer have to worry about breaking the
distribution's update systems or conflicts within their systems.

Given the volatility of Linux distributions over the years, I want the
things we do to be as independent of the underlying distribution as
possible.  This is most important when doing servers where we don't want to
have to worry about where things are on different systems (ever maintained
apache and all its supporting modules on multiple systems?).  Using
openpkg, it makes little difference whether we're running on SuSE,
Mandrake, Red Hat, or FreeBSD.  Moving to a new distribution is usually a
matter of rebuilding on the new system from the standard SRPMS.

Not much to play with, frankly. You need 

- Kernel support for DRM
that's easy enough.

- A video adapter that supports DRI
got i810, so i should be fine there.

- A 'Load "dri"' entry in the "Files" section of the X config file to 
  load the X DRI module
easy enough.

- Possibly an 'Option "DRI"' entry in the "Device" section if your
  video adapter supports this entry
easy.

- A DRI section in your config file:

  Section "DRI" 
  Mode 0666
  EndSection
any new devices in /dev/ needed to correspond to this?

thanks.

The system (Portage) is described by Gentoo as being like the BSD ports
system, but with many improvements. I have not used BSD's ports to tell.

ntp server: mulitiple interfaces

2003-03-09 Thread Joel Hammer
I have xntp set up on a gateway box and it synchronizes well with some
network time servers. I want to use this box to synchronize my home network.

I can't get my other boxes to see the time server daemon on the gateway
box. This could  be explained if the daemon (xntp) was only listening
to one of the two NIC's in the gateway. Using nmap, I don't see any open
port 123, so, this is possible, I suppose. I have not found any
configuration item which tells the daemon which NIC to listen to.

Oh yes. What is the difference between xntp and ntp ?

Any suggestions welcome,

Joel

   Sounds logical, I have been listening to the list talk of knoppix,

not enough time in the day.

If I were you, I'd stay with what I have right now.  If you have a spare
partition, you might try to install something else to play with.  I'd
suggest you look at Knoppix.  Knoppix is a basic distro you can even

It's based on Debian, so a chicken can do upkeep (upgrade, maintenance).
 dselect takes care of all dependencies for you, not like RPM.  IMHO,

Boot up Knoppix and play with it.  You can do almost anything without
affecting your isntalled system as long as you don't make your hard disk
read/write.

Re: Missing space in reiserfs partition

2003-03-09 Thread Joel Hammer
Well, who knows what evil

I ran mkfs /dev/hdc6 - t ext2 and all was fine.
Then I ran mkfs /dev/hdc6 -t ext3, and all was fine.
Then I ran mkfs /dev/hdc6 -t reiserfs again, and all was fine, too.

So, I have no idea why the first attempt resulted in lost of storage
capacity.

Here is the current output of df -h after running the three above commands:
/dev/hdc1  53M   13k   50M   1% /disks/hdc1
/dev/hdc2  61M   13k   57M   1% /disks/hdc2
/dev/hdc5  34G  1.3G   31G   4% /disks/hdc5
/dev/hdc6  38G  7.7G   30G  21% /disks/hdc6

So, I must have done something wrong the first time I mkfs'ed -t reiserfs.

The problem is that RPM limits itself to the package in question. emerge
takes the next step and defines the relationship between packages. And,
instead of just stopping and saying "something is missing so bugger off
and sort that out and don't return until you do", as rpm will do, emerge
takes action and gets the missing things. It is the admittance that no
package is an island that makes emerge work. 

There are other problems solved by this approach as well.

I know that the binary update part of Gentoo would be OK. The problem is
the initial install. It is not something one would want to do on a regular
basis to many systems. It is this that I think is the major stumbling
block for production use.
