ROX-filer is a good addition to XFce for desktop icons, etc.
There was some chat a while back on the XFce list about
incorporating it into to XFce, but haven't seen it mentioned
lately.

cdrw woes

2001-12-26 Thread Chris Kassopulo

Greetings,

I bought an HP9100 cdrw a while back cause my cdrom died.  Installed it,
burned a cd in windows and linux - no problems.  I've only used it since
as a reader.  I can read the cd I burnt when I installed.  I burn a cd
today, the right things happen (lights and gcombust feedback) but when
I try to mount it:

/home/ckasso# mount /dev/sr0
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,
   or too many mounted file systems

I can burn and read in windows and can read in linux.  I've looked at
fstab, modules.conf and grub's menu.lst.  All seems ok.  The only
interesting thing is dmesg.  I get this when the tray is empty, holding
a good cd, a bad one or a cocoanut donut.

dmesg output (duplicate lines edited out):

Damn, I thought that was it.  At this point I think I should
explain how it works on my system.  My only other suggestion
is to put echo statements in the bash related startup files
to see what is running and what is not.

On login (runlevel2) these files are run in this order:
/etc/profilerun by bash on login startup
~/.bash_profile run by bash on login startup
~/.bashrc   sourced by ~/.bash_profile
/etc/bashrc sourced by ~/.bashrc

Each xterm that is started runs:
~/.bashrc   run by bash on non-login startup
/etc/bashrc sourced by ~/.bashrc

I don't know if BASH_ENV is used in these situations,
apparently not.

There are other files that run if they exist.  Man bash
has the details.

 The following is an excerpt from my interchange with the linux-users

 insight on this problem.  The basic problem is that when an xterm is
 started or a kde Konsole is started under xfce, any aliases in the
 profile (/etc/porfile .bashrc  .bash_profile) are ignored.  I have to
 manually enter source /etc/profile after the window appears.  Other
 statements in the profile (prompt, path, and variable settings) are
 processed without error.  If I enter su (and password), the aliases
 are honored.  If I login directly from a prompt (no X or xfce in the
 picture) the aliases are honored both for root and normal user.

 Attempts to boot into Linux result in the dreaded 010101010101010110
 series of errors filling the screen.  FWIW, i can boot into Windoze just
 fine, so this is purely a LILO problem.
 
 Normally, i'd assume that this is that dreaded 1024 cylinder issue, but
 as the fdisk output above indicates, /boot is well below the 1024th
 cylinder.  I'm really not sure what else could be the problem here.  
 
 I've been fighting this since Friday night with virtually no progress,
 so i'd appreciate the wisdom of any of your LILO gurus.  I'm really
 eager to get this new box up  running, since its a significant hardware
 improvement over the older one.
 

/ is flagged as a bootable partition,
shouldn't /boot be flagged instead ?
and shouldn't lilo.conf have boot=/dev/hdd2

Re: hostname set to '-f' after X login?

 anyone know why?

I don't have an answer, but do have some clues.  I have a stripped down
e2.4 (no kde, netscape, etc) that I run occasionally.  I boot it into
runlevel 3, login and startx.

While installing another distro I mistakenly applied an update to e2.4.
I don't remember what the update was since I wasn't concerned about the
e2.4 minimal installation anymore.

Since that, when user logs in I get:
/bin/hostname: cannot set hostname to `-f': Operation not permitted
/bin/hostname: cannot set hostname to `-s': Operation not permitted

When root logs in no message comes up but hostname is set to -s when in an
xterm.  In console mode the hostname appears normal.

/bin/hostname is different than the one on my full e2.4 system.

 using a filter?
 
  Sylpheed has had excellent filters as long as I have used it.  You can set
  up as many folders as you like and filter into them.  Any unfiltered items
  go into a central inbox.  Some have complained that they would like a
  separate inbox per account; sylpheed does not do this.
 
 Yup   why should it be any other way?   Multiple accounts means multiple 
 accounts...  period.   What is their reason for using the filters?
 
 
You can create a new mailbox - File Add mailbox.  You can also create an account
and specify the inbox.  But how do you specify the path to the new box?  The only
way I've found to get mail to the new box is with filters.  It seems like the idea
is there but ...
