A great Linux app to set the user-level directory info? Which one?

Ricoh Caplio G3 Digital Camera and Linux

2003-10-08 Thread James McDonald
Folks,

I have a Ricoh Caplio G3 and when I plug it in I get the following in 
/var/log/messages.

Oct  8 20:57:43 amd kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:10.0-2, assigned 
address 2
Oct  8 20:57:43 amd kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x5ca/0x2204) 
is not claimed by any active driver.
Oct  8 20:57:46 amd /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no modules for USB 
product 5ca/2204/0

My questions are

Is there a driver for it currently? (I googled but I have ping pong 
balls for eyes so couldn't find anything yet)
Can I still download my pictures off it by mounting it somehow and 
copying them off or do I need to get a driver for it?
If I require a driver is there one that already supports Ricoh cameras 
but just needs editing to include the newer Plug n' Play vendor id and 
then recompilation?
Could you guys recommend a website for all things Linux and digital 
camera wise?

Thanks.

LILO is very sensitive to the gcc, glibc  binutils versions that you have
installed.  Some quick googling suggests that the version of gcc or glibc
could cause the error that you're seeing.  Interestingly, someone posted
the same error here:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/lilo/?topic_id=139

my money is on glibc.

You probably need to recompile your kernel to support > 1GB.
At least that is what you need to do with Libranet Debian.
Recompiling the Libranet kernel is easy - I did it to match the CPU's
on my boxes (default is 486).

Make sure you compile your kernel with the option 4Gb RAM (look under
Processor Type and Features).  Normally, the stock RH kernel is compiled
w/ 4Gb, but I don't know about RH 9.0.

Re: Maximum Memory in Linux

2003-10-08 Thread Matthew Carpenter
Really?  Wow.  UL support 4GB out of the box.  UL includes both CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G as 
well as CONFIG_1GB.  I know there is also an option for 64GB.

(from /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help)

4GB
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G
  Select this if you have a 32-bit processor and between 1 and 4
  gigabytes of physical RAM.

64GB
CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G
  Select this if you have a 32-bit processor and more than 4
  gigabytes of physical RAM.

User address space size
CONFIG_1GB
  If you have 4 Gigabytes of physical memory or less, you can change
  where the kernel maps high memory.

  Typically there will 128 megabytes less user memory mapped
  than the number in the configuration option. Saying that
  another way, high memory will usually start 128 megabytes
  lower than the configuration option.

  Selecting 05GB results in a 3.5GB/0.5GB kernel/user split:
  On a system with 1 gigabyte of physical memory, you may get 384
  megabytes of user memory and 640 megabytes of high memory
  with this selection.

  Selecting 1GB results in a 3GB/1GB kernel/user split:
  On a system with 1 gigabyte of memory, you may get 896 MB of
  user memory and 128 megabytes of high memory with this
  selection. This is the usual setting.

  Selecting 2GB results in a 2GB/2GB kernel/user split:
  On a system with less than 1.75 gigabytes of physical memory,
  this option will make it so no memory is mapped as high.

  Selecting 3GB results in a 1GB/3GB kernel/user split:

  If unsure, say 1GB.

More RPM madness - I'm sure it's just me ...

2003-10-08 Thread Michael Hipp
If you can follow this conversation, could someone tell me why the file 
'wx-config' immediately becomes an orphan as soon as it is installed? 
What am I missing THIS time?

# ls /usr/bin/wx-config
/usr/bin/wx-config
# rpm -e wxGTK-devel-2.4.2-1 wxGTK-2.4.2-1
# ls /usr/bin/wx-config
ls: /usr/bin/wx-config: No such file or directory
# rpm -q -f /usr/bin/wx-config
error: file /usr/bin/wx-config: No such file or directory
# rpm -i wxGTK-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm wxGTK-devel-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm
# ls /usr/bin/wx-config
/usr/bin/wx-config
# rpm -q -f /usr/bin/wx-config
file /usr/bin/wx-config is not owned by any package
# rpm -q -f /usr/bin/aspell
aspell-0.33.7.1-21
(That last one just to be sure I'm typing the command right.)

stupid. Well, stupider.

Sounds like your rpm isn't built for the distro you're trying to install
it on, but something altogether different. Can you properly query the
package with rpm -qpl packagename.rpm and list the fileset?

It's the RPM that came in RH9 as far as I know. I don't recall upgrading 
it unless it came via up2date. I have installed 'checkinstall', but I 
don't think that upgrades RPM.

Yes, rpm -qpl will list the files, but oddly enough when I 'grep config'

Apache/PHP revisited

2003-10-08 Thread Matthew Carpenter
I just found an interesting twist to my recent php woes.
I have been attempting to get squirrelmail working using a named virtual host, 
webmail.eisgr.com, which is actually pointing at /srv/www/htdocs/squirrelmail/.  It 
sends me the index.php file as text seemingly no matter what I do.  
However, if I access the site using the default site:
http://www.eisgr.com/squirrelmail/
everything works flawlessly.

This is sounding more like an Apache config thing than a PHP/Apache marriage thing...  
I thought that the definitions used for the default site carried over to all virtuals 
unless otherwise defined in that virtual.

Can someone set me straight here?

Thanks!
Matt

No.  But the most effective spam-blocker I've found to date is
milter-sender:
http://www.snert.com/Software/milter-sender/

Basically, when someone sends you an e-mail, milter-sender connects back
to the sender's primary MX.  If the sender's MX doesn't exist -- reject;
if the MX responds that the sender doesn't exist or his mailbox is full
-- reject.  My mail server has been rejecting hundreds of spams.  Seems
to be working well.  Then spamassassin-milter takes care of the rest. (I
really like sendmail's milter facility -- good stuff).

That's it. It is a symlink (no doubt created by a script as you said). 
Still seems like an erroneous result to say it belongs to no package 
when in fact it certainly does. Being able to figure out who/what 
installed a particular file is a basic package management feature, IMHO.

It's not Red Hat specific in any way, but I've been using the slightly 
earlier version with no problems. And, in fact, this one is working fine 
now. Whereas yesterday bash kept telling me it couldn't find that 
particular file (wx-config). An uninstall, re-install seems to have 
fixed it.

First off, what Linux distro are you using, and secondly, do you need 2.4.2 or would 2.4.0 work?

If you are running SuSE, check out:

It's Red Hat 9. I've been running 2.4.1 with no problems but thought to 
upgrade to 2.4.2 as it is a the latest stable and fixes some bugs. I'm 
developing a couple of apps using wxWindows. Not real deep into it yet, 
but so far I'm very impressed with wxWindows.

Re: More RPM madness - I'm sure it's just me ...

 RPM, but symlinks created by a post-install script aren't considered
 (or weren't at one time) as part of the RPM, although a properly-crafted
 remove script (executed when you rpm -e pkg.name.rpm) will remove
 symlinks created when the RPM was installed.
 
 That's it. It is a symlink (no doubt created by a script as you said). 
 Still seems like an erroneous result to say it belongs to no package 
 when in fact it certainly does. Being able to figure out who/what 
 installed a particular file is a basic package management feature, IMHO.

Perhaps. RPM's notion of a file list does not include symlinks created
outside that list. This constitutes a design flaw, perhaps, but there
might be reasons for this decision to which I'm not privy. In any
event, I'm glad we worked out the problem.

Re: Importing mutt aliases into Netscape 7

2003-10-08 Thread Kurt Wall
Quoth Joel Hammer:
 Does anyone know of a way to import addresses from a text file like mutt 
 aliases into a more convoluted file like the abook of mozilla?
 Or,failing that, is there a simple explanation somewhere of the abook 
 data format?

No, it's most likely because the link is created during a post-install script, not 
listed in the official file list which RPM uses to populate its database.
