Re: this year's PGP key

2003-01-12 Thread Bonez
Doug:

How does this work? I am using GPG on my system, and have a key. What I am 
wondering is how do you manage keys from others. For example, let's say that 
you and I were exchanging email frequently, and we wanted to exchange mail 
that needed encryption, validation, etc. Do you have a specific directory you 
keep all PGP keys in, and then reference that directory when decrypting a 
message from someone whose key you have? 

Thanks,

my printer may have died

Help:

I went to print to my trusty HP laser jet iii and it stopped responding. 

I am not sure if I have sent it some weird command that makes it not talk to 
my system any more (caldera 3.1) but it has printed fine for the past several 
months. Now, neither Windows nor Linux will print to it. 

How do I test it to see if the communication is there?

persistent new kernel woes

2003-01-04 Thread Bonez
I have pestered the list about this, but I'd really like to get my kernel 
upgrade working with 2.4.20 from 2.4.2. 

If anyone on the list would oblige me in a short real time discussion, using 
ICQ; 12212330 or Yahoo: sanchiro12

Thanks for any help, 

Scott

p.s. What I am hoping can happen is that I can get help identifying exactly 
what hardware I have, and to see what modules are loading at boot time, and 
then to review and list what I need to specifically compile in to the new 
kernel. Also, hoping to review my /var/log/messages to see what clues it can 
provide. I appreciate your help Lonni, and the help of others..I just think 
this would happen much more efficiently in a real time conversation.

Re: More Compile issues

Jim:

To be honest, I am certain I don't have the System.map copied over correctly. 
Here's what I did after the last compile run: cp /linux-2.4.20/System.map 
/boot/System.map-2.4.20. That's probably not the right thing to do, but it's 
what I tried. I am way new at all this, so I do appreciate your patience with 
me. 

 1) Are you sure you coppied the right System.map into /boot? You are
 still getting errors about that

I checked the modules.conf file, and found no reference there to 'char major 
81' As well, I did NOT select video for linux when running make menuconfig. 

 2) char major 81 is for /dev/video and a couple other things.. check
 devices.txt in the Doc's.. it has nothing to do with anything other than
 an alias in modules.conf.. assuming you have no video devices.

How do I modprobe my SCSI host adapter? I don't even know what the adapter is 
called, let alone how to probe it. 

 3) What happens if you modprobe your SCSI host adapter from the command
 line. What are the errors?

Thank you for any help you can give this struggling newbie.

I found the new System.map in my /kernel/linux-2.4.20 folder and copied it to 
my /boot folder er...directory (please no flames, it seems like a folder to 
me) and tried booting again. It still was problematic. No NIC recognition, no 
sound. I guess what I need to do now is go back and run 'make menuconfig' and 
make sure I don't include SMP and retry it all. 

 Then why did you compile it for SMP?

  Hmm I am learning. I never knew I had to copy the System.map over to the
  /boot directory. I will do that now and test and see what happens.

 Its not a big deal, and as best as i can tell, the only problem is that
 harmless error.

I am sure there are plenty of issues to resolve in this small slice
of the boot message.
  
   Other than the fact that you failed to copy over the new System.map to
   /boot/System.map-2.4.20, it looks ok.  That's hardly a show-stopper.
  
   I'm assuming that you haev an SMP box, since you built an SMP kernel. 
   Is this with the XFS patch?
 
  Yes, I ran the XFS patch. I'll see if I can find the code that shows that
  engaging. I know when I ran make menuconfig that XFS was finally listed
  under filesystems as an option.

 Well, the easiest way to test is to format a filesystem as XFS, and mount
 it.

Once I get past the other issues, I'll do some reading on how to work with 
XFS and formatting a new file system and then mounting it.

 Did you compile support for your NIC  sound card?  Its not going to

I know that my current working configuration under 2.4.2 uses the Tulip 
driver. When I boot up the new kernel it indicates that it is using or trying 
to use the Tulip driver, except that everything is marked under the NIC 
configuration screen with big red X to indicate it is NOT LOADED. 

I believe that's the issue, that those modules or drivers are not loading as 
they should at boot time. How do I dig through and find where it is failing? 
Would /var/log/messages provide a clue? I will gladly study through those

Re: My compile adventure

2003-01-02 Thread Bonez
Sorry about attaching instead of just pasting the data here. 

The lsmod output is from my current system, the 2.4.2 kernel. I will get the 
output next time I boot up the 2.4.20 kernel. I figured you'd want to see 
what my current system showed running or loaded. 

No, I don't have any bluetooth anything. This kernel came compiled with the 
features running from the distro. I have not altered to run Bluetooth. I am 
guessing my system would run faster and better if I didn't have half the 
modules loading up and running. I guess this is part of the learning as I 
grind through all this. 

My soundcard is a Soundblaster Awe 64 and the NIC is (I am reading this from 
the box) CNet Pro120 10/100 Mbps PCI FastEthernet adapter card. The URL to 
this NIC is www.cnet.com.tw. 

When I am in menuconfig I never did see anything listing a tulip module. Is 
it going to be there explicitly or will it be called something different?

Maybe my kernel will work

2002-12-30 Thread Bonez
I am struggling through a dilemma about how to get my USB palm cradle working 
with my system which runs on 2.4.2 kernel. It's from Caldera, 3.1, edesktop. 

I have a USB Iomega Zip drive plugged in to one of the available USB ports 
and I can read from and write to that drive without a problem. Knowing that, 
I would think that USB is indeed enabled in my 2.4.2 kernel and that my Palm 
cradle should be able to interact with my system as well. 

How would I go about testing the ports, to see that both the zip drive and 
USB cradle are visible, and then to get Kpilot or Jpilot set up to work with 
my Palm?

Re: Maybe my kernel will work

2002-12-30 Thread Bonez
I figured out how to write to the drive. I guess when I updated /etc/fstab 
before, I hadn't booted my system down to a level  to get it to reread the 
changes. I am sure there is a way to accomplish this, to 'source it' or 
something. Please enlighten me if this is an option. 

 I'd be quite surprised if anything worked on that kernel.  Its a blackhole
 of bugs  instabilities, and i donit' know that it ever had much in the
 way of decent USB functionality.

Oh, such confidence. Now I'll worry myself silly until I get it updated. Yes 
I was working on upgrading to the 2.4.20 kernel with XFS enabled. Here's what 
I have tried in the past and where i am with that project. 

I run Win4Lin to enable one persistent app for which I find no suitable linux 
analogue, yet. I have followed instructions from Netraverse on patching the 
2.4.20 kernel source files, and then compiling and trying to run that. I 
succeed in getting 2.4.20 to boot up and run, and it does run Win4Lin when 
it's booted up. However, my NIC, sound and some other things all fail upon 
boot, despite the new kernel using similar settings. I assume that during the 
make/make install process it looks at the settings of my current working 
system and carries those over to the new build. Without the NIC 
functionality, both my LAN and internet access are down. Thus I boot up and 
read the messages as they fly by, and then shut down and boot back into 2.4.2 
which works, although not with new things like Palm synch  and my ScanJet 4c 
that I need to get working. 

I downloaded a fresh archive of 2.4.20 from kernel.org and ran all the 
patching that I needed and that worked before, rendering NO FAILED HUNK 
notices. When I run the XFS patch file, there are many many failed hunk 
messages. This is what baffles me. I think I need to work the bugs out and 
get 2.4.20 working without including the XFS support first, resolving the 
failure of various modules and other items to load at boot time. Then I can 
compile in the XFS functions and move to that point. 

I welcome any assistance and am very very grateful for the list here, and 
being able to share my experience and learn from you all. If you need me to 
post .log files or want to point me to the files I need to examine to find 
out where the new kernel breaks when loading, please point the way. 

Thank You,

Scott

 I thought you were trying to build a 2.4.20 XFS enabled kernel?  Why not
 get that working, and then move onto the USB stuff?

kernel compiling

I need some input on my first attempt at compiling a new kernel. I am running 
Caldera's 2.4.2 kernel underlying desktop 3.1. i want to upgrade my kernel to 
2.4.19, to get built in USB support so that I can synch my Palm m505, as well 
as to get the added support of other improvements. 

Here's what i have tried and which did not work, yet. I downloaded the kernel 
archive from kernel.org to my $HOME/down/kernel_2.4.19 folder. There, I 
unpacked it and then ran two patches in that folder, to enable Win4Lin to run 
on the kernel. After that I ran 'make menuconfig' which seemed to work 
without any reported errors. When I run 'make dep' though, I get several 
errors. 

In all this, and trying it (compiling) a couple times, and getting to the 
'make modules' step, the guidelines I was using said Now, su to root, and I 
realized that I had compiled everything from make dep forward as root, and it 
worked just fine, but i realize that likely will cause problems running under 
that kernel as just a user, so when I go back and compile it as user , it 
fails with various errors. 

Should I be compiling and doing all this in a different folder, i.e., a 
branch off of /usr/src/ such as /usr/src/linux_2.4.19? Would that make a 
difference? 

Thanks for any help with this, 

Scott

p.s. my system is a pentium II 266 mhz clone

If you have covered this, or if it's covered elsewhere, please point me in 
that direction. How can I set up spam rejection on my machine? I am running 
Caldera 3.1 workstation 2.4.2. 

Thanks for any help,

Questions hindering my use of Linux

2002-09-20 Thread Bonez

Dear Group:

I have a few questions I am trying to resolve, in my use of linux.

First, for those curious, I am running Caldera Open Linux Workstation 3.1,
on a Pentium II machine, with 296mb ram.

Here are my problems:

When rebooting, I end up with a system frozen with the following as the
last line: Sending all processes the TERM signal.

How do I get around this, so that my system will in fact shut down and then
reboot?

more to come ...

Re: Modprobe: can't find module

2002-05-17 Thread Bonez

Sorry Kurt, but no Red Hat here. I am running Caldera 3.1 (kernel 2.4.2).

 Look at the output of dmesg (dmesg | less). That will give you more clues
 about what's going wrong. There should also be useful information in
 /var/log/messages.

Thanks. I took a look at messages. Have to get another pair of glasses and
some eye drops now, for the tearing and eyestrain. I am learning this is a
game of investigation, lots of reading, fumbling at the keyboard and
reinstallation if things really get screwed up.

Here's my latest new question. I can't seem to get my .profile setup right
to allow QT 3.0.3 to install. Despite telling it that the QTDIR variable
resides in /var/local/qt, echo $QTDIR responds with /var/lib/qt2.

I am off to read a bunch more.

Toast, Take 2

2002-05-13 Thread Bonez

Having compiled a downloaded source for 2.4.18, I proceeded to update my
bzImage and System.map files in /boot.

Since I am using GRUB as my bootloader, I went in and created a new enter
for the new 2.4.18 kernel, to try booting with it.

Now, where I had sound, networking to the internet, email, web browsing
etc., when I boot up to my original 2.4.2 configuration, the sound, access
to the net, is all gone, plus I get multiple failure notices as the various
modules and daemons load at boot time.

How can I get things back to the way they were before, so that I can boot up
and continue working on my upgrade?

In my effort to upgrade I followed the listing found at www.linuxnewbie.org,
under configuration and compilation of new kernel.
