Re: Remote X login (SOLVED)

Was this just enabled in eD and eS?  I know that I never had to do that back then...  
All I had to do there was uncomment the * line in Xaccess.

Re: Remote X login (SOLVED)

2001-11-03 Thread Matthew Carpenter

I'm still not there yet:

I am attempting to start the remote X session in runlevel 5 by using the following 
command:

X :1 -query www.xxx.yyy.zzz

I see the following in response after all the X messages (screen size, refresh,etc..):

AUDIT: Sat Nov  3 09:07:11 2001: 1550 X: client 1 rejected from IP remote ip port 
42502
  Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1


On the remote system, I see this in /var/log/messages:

Nov  3 10:18:56 gandalf kdm[5367]: server open failed for elandyl:1, giving up
Nov  3 10:18:56 gandalf kdm[31019]: Display elandyl:1 cannot be opened

Any Ideas?  It's like my local box is rejecting the remote system's attempts to give 
me a login screen.

My next step is to make this a part of the bootup (dual X, one remote).  Would this be 
best achieved by entering the following as the next line in Xservers?

:1  path-to-X/X :1 -query gandalf (or IP address)

Thanks.

I don't see the ambiguity. The Server is the machine that you'll be logging

you'll be logging in from, the one on whose screen X will be displayed.

 yes.  I did... on the remote host.  That is how I got to this point.

X0.hosts needs to be on the machine whose X session you want to use, the one 
serving the X session. 

Also, according to http://www.caldera-benelux.com/ta_xdmcp_support.html
You need to add 
DisplayManager*chooser: /opt/kde2/bin/chooser (or whichever chooser 
you want to use, the link says to use /usr/X11R6/bin/chooser)
to your xdm-config file on the server.

This is a permissions problem, but not in the way you think, and has
nothing to do with KDE.
It is solely related to /etc/fstab, and the entry for your floppy drive.
 The 4th column has all the permissions controls, and you will need to
add the comma separated entry of 'user' to allow mortal users the right
to mount floppies.

Neither Reiser nor mtab are at fault.  THe automount daemon is, and as a
result all bets are off.  Nix all the 'auto' entries and replace them
with a sane filesystem type, and that should resolve this issue.  
IMO, amd should be used for NFS and nothing else.  Its only other
purpose is to confuse newbies, and to frustrate experts.

ick.

 
 It lists two audio formats as options:
 quicktime: .aif extension
 and wav: .wav

so basically they're microsofted.  its anyone's guess what the hell they
are.

 
 I can always forward you one of the files if you wish.

if they're no larger than 50K go ahead.  otherwise, no thanks.

FWIW, realplayer is supposed to be capable of playing WAV files too.

Re: linux to linux networking

2001-11-03 Thread Tim Wunder

Previously, Vern W Heesch chose to write:
 I have two linux boxes connected through a hub and can't figure out how to
 network them together so that files and printers can be shared. I read the
 howto's but got really confused. Unless I am missing something very simple,
 it seems setting up samba to share with windows was easier than this.

 Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Point me to a very simple
 step-by-step maybe?

 Thanks

Use CUPS to share the printers and NFS to share the disk space.
You should be able to find plenty of documentation out there for both. 
Setting up CUPS under Caldera 3.1 was a breeze (once I learned that the lpd 
daemon needed to be disabled). I used Webmin to set up my NFS mount points. 
It's fairly straightforward.

HTH, 
Tim

Well, you didn't really comment on what flavor of Linux is running on
either box, or how heavily customized you may have made them.

But, the solution to your file sharing between two *nix boxes is NFS. 
Just about every major linux distro includes fully functional NFS
servers  clients by default.  So all you should need to do is the
following:
1) Lets say your two boxes are known as linuxA and linuxB, and you want
to mount the filesystem of linuxA on linuxB.  On the linuxB box, type:
mount -t nfs linuxA:/home/username /mnt/whatever
2) To go the opposite direction from linuxB to linuxA:
mount -t nfs linuxB:/home/username /mnt/whatever

Now both boxes should be able to see the files of the other.

You didn't really comment on how the printers are setup.  Are they
networked or local?

Thats pretty much what I was guessing.

k... I'll forward you the .wav then

No dice here either, although file interprets it as this:

Re: Floppy problems

2001-11-03 Thread Randy Donohoe


 Neither Reiser nor mtab are at fault.  THe automount daemon is, and
 as a result all bets are off.  Nix all the 'auto' entries and replace
 them with a sane filesystem type, and that should resolve this issue.
 IMO, amd should be used for NFS and nothing else.  Its only other
 purpose is to confuse newbies, and to frustrate experts.

No. But I am intrigued to see how you would convince bin Laden and Al Qeda to 
set aside their differences, abandon their plans for wreaking violence on the 
world, and join the Kiwanis.

Civilians were killed in WWII, do you also feel that Britain should have 
capitulated and the rest of the world stayed out of it? Just curious.

I am of the opinion that the thread would have been far better off in 
'GENERAL' and I thought that Doug created this for anything that was really 
ot. I have been going to ask the question as to how many are in fact subbed 
to 'general' so as discussions can be started without annoying anyone.

BTW for those who did articulate in this thread, almost 100% of you have no 
idea what it is that you are talking about. I both experienced being bombed 
in London and Liverpool during WWII as a young lad, and fighting in Malaya 
and Korea plus being a member of the occupation forces in Germany and seeing 
Belsen Belsen and Auschwitz.

Anyway non of us now can alter the outcome, till the desire for peace and 
revenge has been ausaged. Remembering that until this event, the american 
people were like Australians, had never been 'hurt' in their own backyard.

Enough, enough the maiden cried..!!
