combination of gear lever and pivot and it was all ho hum. IT is
different, it's too broad and too deep for any individual to know

The only way that I am aware of that you could lose ability to login is via the
update config files (etc-update) process.  Some updates will offer to update
password and shadow.  You should never do this; always purge these update
offerings (fstab is another that is a no no).


I've never considered it a good idea to offer updates for these files, but thus
far gentoo has never come up with a replacement philosophy.


 A good procedure to follow is to backup /etc before doing etc-update.

That being said, are there any meaningful messages in /var/log/messages?

If you can login as root with no password, you should be able to issue 'passwd'
to set a new root password.  Maybe this will fix the problem?

Another possibility is that there is a problem with some of the files in
/etc/pam.d/ - were any of these replaced recently?

check /etc/password and /etc/group to verify that the root user is really in
group wheel.

HTH.

If they are using encryption you generally need the passphrase or 
encryption codes to gain access to the wireless network.  As far as 
cards go, I would recommend getting Orinoco.   They right around the 
same price as the Netgear and I've have had good experiences with them.  
And make sure you get the same 802.11 standard your school is using or

If you can't ping machines on your intranet I would think you have a local
network configuration problem.  Are you trying to ping by IP or name? If
you can't ping the ip's, it would suggest your wife is on a different
subnet. If you can ping ip's but can't ping names, you might try just
adding the name and ip of your print server to /etc/hosts to see if that
fixes the pinging. Do you have a dhcpcd server on your intranet, etc.

Can you describe your print setup?   Local printers?  Networked printers?  
I have a similar situation here (about 4 linux machines and an 
occasional Winders) and CUPS works fine but that's on 8.2.

this idea of a "wife machine" is intriguing -- i may try it next time

There's a closing brace missing from the span tag too.  should be   however there being nothing between
the opening and closing span tags, this span does nothing anyway.  Just
remove the whole thing.

Don't remove the  though as this is used by any links
to top of page with or without anything between the tags.

and the use of "bgcolor=" with "background=" is fine.  A browser
with images turned off will display the background colour specified by
bgcolor.  (Hmmm, haven't tried both with an image containing transparent
parts.  Will have to try that.)

align=center and style='text-align:center is I believe a redundant mix
of HTML 3.2 (align=center) and css (style=).  align=center is
depreciated.

RE: question

2003-10-03 Thread Condon Thomas A KPWA

Rick,

As of this morning (Pacific time) it still has some problems.  It shows up
OK in my IE 6.0 on a WinXPPro machine, but I suspect on a good browser it
would be $^*(%%^#.  One reason is the code.  Sample of your HTML (from
View->Source):
***


Main Heading Goes Here
  
  http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/";>






  
JTB SawsJust the Best Anywhere

***

Note that the very first line contains no closing ">".  This is a typical M$
tool fault.  The M$ "browser" will forgive this, but most won't handle this
properly because it is incomplete.  Did you really do this with bluefish?

Even the IE browser, however, finds some error with your span style.  I see
"JTB SawsJust the Best Anywhere" for your header.  The spacing between the
two phrases doesn't work.

Your "wood-chips" background shows well here, though, so I don't think there
is anything wrong with the graphic.  In my experience getting a background
image to show the same on all browsers is an almost impossible task.  But
that is why I don't design web sites for a living.

HTH.

so don't buy it, just get a 30 day eval to see if it will work for what
you want (the install shots).  Once done (whether it worked or not),
delete.  You can find out if it will work for nothing.  You like it, buy
a personal edition (reasonably priced, IMHO).

As for whether it looks like a real install -- vmware creates a system
in software complete with things like ethernet (PCNet32, if you want to
show specifically loading a RealTek8139, you're out of luck, but
ethernet is ethernet), etc.  Also approximates a graphics card and
monitor, though I don't remember which ones.

And, you can run the whole install on a different X server. It is a boot
option in the install.

Of course, that whole product line is gone anyway.

It should be portable, provided the Linux you have has framebuffer 
support and the machines have reasonable, VESA-compliant graphics

That's a reasonable approach unless a vmware install would be substantially

Is that ctrl-d documented somewhere?

That could be interesting, particularly if (a) it's portable on the
versions of Linux I want to document, and (b) the format is something
useful.  It could require a fair quantity of ramdisk as the JPEG files from
my 2.1 megapixel camera required a bit over 25MB before cropping and
cleaning up with the gimp.

Well, maybe I've been siffing too much glue here, but if you just want
screenshots of what you're doing, why don't you just do the install in a
vmware box and use xv to grab the shots you want?

Just a thought.  It's how I'd do it.

Indeed. Using OpenLinux from The Company Whose Name I Shall Not Mention,
you could press Ctrl+d to dump PNG screenshots from the installer into the
RAM disk's /tmp filesystem. You had to move them out of /tmp before 
rebooting because they would go away, but it was a darn handy feature 
for taking screenshots for manuals and such.

In your case, Bill, you might be able to send the console output to
a serial port and take your screenshots that way. Another method is
to load the console framebuffer and then do, more or less, 

# cp /dev/fb0 somefile

I don't know what the output format is, but this is a start.

Interesting approach, but it may well be RH specific.

I got reasonable results using the digital camera on a tripod.  It's still
not perfect, but workable.  The draft I'm working on can be seen here:

http://support.celestial.com/doc/installsuse81/

This is a bit better than my first try I changed the angle of the screen to
be vertical rather than slightly tilted up which minimized the trapezoid
effect.  The camera was tilted slightly so the shots aren't perfectly
framed, but it's probably close enough for government work.

One thing I found out very early is that a long exposure is necessary to
get the screen image correct.  These shots were all made using with a
manual setting 1 second exposure at F-11 aperture.  I tried various WB
(White Balance) settings, ending up on the Olympus 2020 Zoom's AUTO
setting.  This got the screen pretty well, but the monitor body was a
fairly dark reddish brown.

I did a rough edit using the gimp on the images, basically cropping out the
monitor body, then Image->Colors->Levels->Auto to get them to their current
state.  Finally I wrote a very simple shell script that processed these
edited images with the ImageMagik ``convert'' program to create
consistently sized images for the web documentation:

for image in images.raw/*.jpg ; do
fname=`basename $image`
convert -geometry 800x600 $image images/$fname
convert -geometry 400x300 $image thumbnails/$fname
done

barring fancier options, you could use xwd, which comes with X.  if you're
looking for a gui tool, i think there's ksnapshot (assumign that you have
KDE installed), and xv also can do this.   I dont' think that XFCE
includes any native tools for this though.

First, I know that the admins are steadily modifying the sxs

page is now missing from the apache webserver.

[ your probably allowing others to access the pages

Now when accessing the  http://www.linux-sxs.org

Lonnie you are coorect, but these can be displayed in text as they were

Re: Question PCMCIA

2002-06-06 Thread Matthew Carpenter

Are you getting dhcp on the cards or using a staticly assigned address? 
What is the result if you type "ifconfig -a"?
If there is an eth0 listed, what is the IP Address?  If not, try "ifconfig
eth0  up" and try the "ifconfig -a" again.

any body got any suggestions are control files i can look at. Went to URL for
pcmcia and I am a little overwelmed or just not understanding, it seems to be

Make sure that the appropriate module(s) for the PCMCIA NIC that you're
using is loaded.  See http://pcmcia-cs.sf.net for the correct module(s).
Once you do that, you should be able to bring up the interface.

That makes no difference.  You don't/can't patch a filesystem.  ext2 can 
be non-destructively converted to ext3, but that's the only exception. 
When going from anything else to XFS, you *only* have these options:
1) Install a distro that supports XFS 'out of the box'
2) Install a distro that doesn't support XFS 'out of the box' (Caldera 
anything in this case) on a very small partition.  Then patch the kernel 
for XFS support.  Next create full size partitions that are XFS 
formatted.  Copy the contents from the distro partition to the newly 
created XFS partition(s).  Fix your bootloader so that it points to the 
new location with the XFS partition.

Yes, i've glossed over alot of details here.  See my SxS on XFS for all 
the specifics,
and my SxS on copying data to new partitions.

So, use reiser, use ext3 use whatever for the initial install, it 
doesn't really matter a dime.

If you know you are going to use xfs, then why complicate the process by
installing ext3 or resier?
Just install using ext2 and then go about the process of patching in the
xfs filesystem.

 err, no. Probably not. There are several types of scsi physical interface
 connectors, one of them happens to be a DB25 just like a printer port but
it
 aint. Check the card that this connector is attached to, it is _most
likely_
to be a genuine scsi card such as an aha. For some time HP bottled their
 scanners this way using 'proprietary' NCR5000 interface chips. These cards
 are not usable under linux because you'd have more success extracting blood
 from stone than info from HP.

 The reason for the confusion is that there is, separately, a device
marketed
 variously as 'backpack' and friends which does indeed use a genuine printer
 port and electronically converts the signals into scsi at the other end, it
is highly unlikely you have this set up, but covering bases here.

I think, from your description (but don't actually know), that you should be
looking at the parallel 'backpack' modules. parport.o, sr.o and epat.o for a
start. You'll have to hunt thru /usr/src/linux/Documentation/drivers/ for
further info.

This is assuming your external device uses a parallel port, not a DB25 scsi
interface. If it's the latter, then instead, find out the chip number (often
a AHA1510, often a NCR53C80) and use the appropriate scsi drivers found in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/scsi, and, /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi

   he scsi/printer port converter takes a scsi input cable and the other end goes

What's a SCSI/Printer converter?  All you should technically need to do,
assuming that this isn't a hacked up setup, is load the appropriate
