Re: Developer question
Rick, I've done lots of porting sporadically over the years and for the most part, they should port. Just be careful not to use any Linux specific features in your makefile and you should be all set.

Re: printer in Suse 7.3
What does your printcap look like? I am running SuSE 7.3. I don't have a printer called 'lpr' but that (lpr is the print program). Can you print to a file and then lpr the file to the right queue?

ext3 on root partition question
Hi all, I have converted my all my filesystems to ext3. I am running SuSE 7.3. But I am concerned that my root partition did not get converted. Last night I had a power outage and on reboot, fschk was run on my root partition. The boot screen showed the following message: /dev/hda2 not cleanly unmounted, check forced Now all the other partitions looked like they were using the journal files because for each partition, I saw a message stating (something to the effect) that the journal file was being checked. Once the system was booted, when I do a 'ps | grep jour' I see only 4 entries and would expect 5 for my 5 partitions: root50 1 0 06:44 ?00:00:00 [kjournald] root51 1 0 06:44 ?00:00:00 [kjournald] root52 1 0 06:44 ?00:00:00 [kjournald] root53 1 0 06:44 ?00:00:00 [kjournald] Below is my fstab: /dev/hda2 / ext3defaults 1 1 /dev/hdb5 /usrext3defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb1 /usr/srcext3defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb6 /optext3defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb7 /home ext3defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb2 swapswappri=42 0 0 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder autoro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdromautoro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0/media/floppy autonoauto,user,sync 0 0 devpts /dev/ptsdevpts defaults 0 0 proc/proc procdefaults 0 0 usbdevfs/proc/bus/usb usbdevfsdefaults,noauto 0 0 /dev/hda1 has a test version of SuSE7.3 which I can boot into. I used this to convert /dev/hda2 (my production root partion). I am running with the stock SuSE 7.3 kernel and haven't yet applied any security updates. When I try and rerun tunejfs on /dev/hda2 I get the following message: tune2fs 1.24a (02-Sep-2001) The filesystem already has a journal. So it should be ext3, right?

Re: Palm pilots under linux (was: Re: More SxS Steps)
Mike, There are a bunch of tools written, do a man of "pilot-link". I use pilot-xfer to simply sync/backup my pilot w/ no GUI (again, man pilot-xfer). Go to jpilot.org to see a really sweet GUI. They have a great user list. The GUI also uses the pilot-link tools. This is much in line with many linux tools, like cdrtools for cdwriters, and so on.

I second the motion on that. I use Jpilot with my palm as well, but have yet to figure out how to get address labels from the address book.

Just to clarify a point, any program can create new windows *without* spawning a new process.

Re: Opera 6 beta available
MDI stands for "Multiple Document Interface". It is a GUI policy that is used by an application where it opens up windows within its own larger window. The first time I saw it was on Windoze. Opera uses it, StarOffice uses it. IMHO it can be a useful UI technique if used judiciously, but for the most part, its usually overused and not overridable by users who prefer separate windows. Again, thats just my opinion and about 10+ years of UI design/development experience talking.

Re: Opera 6 beta available
Just tried it and find it has much improved performance over 5.0. Don't care so much about it being larger in size since I have 384mb. If you want a fast reliable browser, Opera is it (once you get past the MDI interface and tailor it to your choosing). I haven't been running it long enough to know whether its stablility matches that of Opera 5.0.

Re: Help with Samba Domain Logins
Ian, I have successfully gotten Samba 2.2.1 to work with Win2k and SuSE 7.3. I am sure that it is similar to RH. I used the Samba How-to to get going (http://www.linux.com/howto/SMB-HOWTO.html#toc7). I had to transition what I had on COL2.4/RH 7.0 which had older versions of Samba connected to Win98. Initially I just needed to share printers, but decided to also share some directories publicly and via log-in. Ok, first I got rid of the use of encrypted passwords on my Win2k box. To do this, on your Win2k box run "regedit". When the window opens pick (from the left panel): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SYSTEM->CurrentControlSet->Services->lanmanworkstation->parameters In the right panel select: enableplaintextpassword Press the right mouse button and choose modify, setting the value to 0x1. Now, I had the same user accounts on both machines, but my printers and public directories allow guests (so my kids don't have accounts on my linux box). I created an account for the guest (smbuser). I didn't touch /etc/samba/smbpasswd, but did add the following to /etc/samba/smbusers: root = administrator admin nobody = guest pcguest smbguest I also added the following to /etc/samba/lmhosts, after the localhost line (but I don't know if I needed to): 192.168.1.101 Windows That is the IP for my Win2k box. I also created /home/public open to everyone in the "user" group. Below is my smb.conf: ### [global] workgroup = MACCHIA server string = Samba Server on SuSE 7.3 os level = 2 kernel oplocks = No security = user printing = LPRNG printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = Yes wins support = No guest account = smbuser map to guest = Bad Password [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No create mask = 0640 directory mask = 0750 browseable = no write list = @users [public] comment = Public Stuff path = /home/public read only = No public = yes writable = yes printable = no browseable = Yes guest ok = true write list = @users [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/tmp create mask = 0600 printable = Yes browseable = No ### Notice that only [public] is browsable and has "guest ok = true". This keeps my kids out of my home directories. Anyone can print from the windows box but not everyone can browse homes. And public is browseable but only those users in the "users" group on linux can modify the contents. I am not 100% sure that I understand everything here because there is some wierdness in browsing the home shares that I am confused about. For example, lets say my Linux machine name is "Susan" and I have a /home/sue on the linux box with a login/password: sue/foo. Lets say I also have /home/bob with a login/password of bob/bar. On the win2k box I have the same login/password combos. When I log in to the win2k box as, say sue, in the explorer (EntireNetwork->MicrosoftWindowsNetwork->Macchia->Susan->sue) is visible. When I select it I get prompted for the login/password and after entering it, I can browse and write to the directory). Ok this makes sense. Then if I log in as bob, in the explorer I see both 'bob' AND 'sue'. If I choose either one and enter any valid linux/win user/pwd combo, I can browse and write to BOTH of these directories. Maybe, this make sense in light of the [homes] section. I have played with this a little and if I create specific shares writable by specifc log-ins, then I may see both sue and bob, but cannot browse/write to both. Hope this helps. And if anyone finds this useful, let me know and I'll add to my existing SxS on printing w/ Samba.

Weird Shutdown/halt in SuSE 7.3
Hi all, I recently switched from RH 7.0 to SuSE 7.3. While happy overall, I have noticed some wierdness when shutting down or halting SuSE (either thru the kdm GUI or using /sbin/shutdown -h). It seems to get to the following in the console and then, most of the time just sits there. If I press the power button, nada - I have to either pull the plug or press the reset button. Every once in a while, it shuts all the way down, but most of the time it doesn't. And power never goes off as it did with RH. On shutdown/halt it gets to the following state: The System will be halted immediately And not past this. On occasion it gets further: md: stopping all md devices Power down And when I boot up or (reboot), my disk(s) always get fscked (/dev/hda2 has the SuSE distro root) - message below: /dev/hda2 not cleanly unmounted, check forced /dev/hdb7 has my home partition and sometimes this has the same message/check. Has anyone experienced this? Should I be worried? I don't have APM that I know of as my dell was bought in 1998 with Win98FE. I went to the knowledge base at SuSE and there wasn't really much help; all the info was on early SuSE versions. Any help would be appreciated here; I am concerned that this may cause problems with my disks in the future.

Re: replacing win98
I had a dual boot when I first started using Linux (COL2.4) way back. *HATED* having to reboot. To me, one of the most important features is a stable OS that doesn't have to be rebooted several times a day. And as a unix developer from way back, I truly dislike windows and LOVE having the familiar OS and tools at my fingertips; I can transfer knowledge from 15+ years easily. I can always figure out what is going on and can build any kind of product I want. Plus the loads of open source goodies out there... well preaching to the quire :-) As far as word processing/office stuff is concerned, Star/Open Office is completely adequate for 99% of my needs. I only use windows for Quicken, Daytimer Addressbook, and occasional printing of photos (the tool is nice - can place photo wherever I want on page *easily*). So - since I use linux for everything else, I DO NOT want to reboot and have been using Win4Lin until my switch to SuSE (netraverse doesn't have a 7.3 enabled kernel). This prompted me to try VMware - hence this discussion. At some point over the next year or so, I want to be completely windoze free... Just tried the latest Quicken 2002 and dislike it - so I may shift everything to either GNUcash or Moneydance (+ spreadsheet for budget) since I only do home finances w/ it. My only issue is finding the time to make the shift.

Don't think I'll go back though. It would be nice if they had a single user single instance license of 3.0 like the 2.0 express.

Re: replacing win98
I was running the full version (evaulation copy) and used the wizard to create the vm. 4G disk (which I could change, but left it). Regarding the com ports, I find that have to uninstall/re-install them after powering them down. Wierd. I can live w/ it for a while since I don't use it to sync my palm or download from my camera very often. At some point I will have to figure out what the issue is and determine if its a bug or what. Regarding your writer (and mine). I went to the vmware website and found that they don't support burners, but treat them as readers only. I can see both my reader (/dev/hdc) and my writer (/dev/ttyS0). The writer is scsi emulated, but both are really ide. I still haven't decided whether to fork up the $ for the full version or to go with the express, since I may not need win2k. But I do think that I am going to give up on Win4Lin...

Re: replacing win98
Regarding the disk it built, I didn't have to do a thing - it created a 4G disk and formatted it when I created the virtual machine. Just got my com port working so I can sync with my palm and the Daytimer Addressbook. I usually use Jpilot and pilot-xfer, but need to keep the address book up to date (expecially for those xmas cards!)

Re: replacing win98
Hi Keith, I do have a 2nd cd writer which VMware fails to see on initial installation. I set it up as a scsi cdrom device and I can read from it, but have yet not tried to write to it. Since I use gcombust, etc, it is a lower priority for me and I haven't searched the website or asked them about support for it. Also, I get no sound. But I really don't need it for those things yet. I want to set up a win98 version for my son to use his educational software with, and that will need sound. I'll let you know when I get to that point. I also have problems with /dev/lp0, so for now I am using Samba to print, but I eventually want to understand why it can't connect to that port. Again, even with these limitations, the fact that it runs without booting into a specialized kernel is a plus to me. Not that I have time to roll my own, but I want to be able to play without having to worry that I can't run my critical window's apps.

Re: replacing win98
I would highly recommend VMware. I just installed SuSE 7.3 (really slick by the way - I am real happy w/ it) and am evaluating VMware 3.0. I have found that it is a really slick product; easy to configure and set up. Its performance is pretty good (its running on a pentium II 400 mhz with 384MB of RAM). Installation of the OS and any optional software is kind of slow, but other than that it is like a real small machine on the desktop. I've been recently using it to test my Samba configuration (so I don't have to kick my kids off they're win2k box). I installed it with win2k. It runs like a champ and I don't have to boot into a specialized kernel (like with Win4Lin). It is a bit pricy though ($299 US). They have an express version (win95/98 only) which is VMware 2.0 for only $49 US which I may decide to go for since I really don't have to have win2k... SO, if you don't want to buy and set up another box, but have enough memory and horsepower in the linux-to-be box, that would be the route I would take.

CD-RW install puzzles
I put this in another message, but you may have missed it. So please accept my apology for posting this info again :-) When I have my cd-rom on /dev/sr0 and my cd-rw on /dev/sr1, the following occurs when I mount: $ mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only cool..., but now when: $ mount /dev/sr1 /mnt/cdrw mount: block device /dev/cdrw is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: /dev/cdrw already mounted or /mnt/cdrw busy huh? And, say I dismount /dev/sr0 and: $ mount /dev/cdrw /mnt/sr1 mount: block device /dev/cdrw is write-protected, mounting read-only > And when I look at /mnt/cdrw, the cd-rom on /dev/sr0 spins, and the data is what is in that drive!!! This is just too wierd. It seems I can't use the cdrw as a 2nd cdrom... I haven't tried the same with "-t iso9660" and am not sitting at my machine now.

Re: CD-RW install puzzles
I wish I could upgrade my kernel (don't have the time to roll my own kernel - wish I did). I can't because the pptp tunneling into my place of work only works on RH 7.0, not 7.1... And I work from home regularly 1-2x per week. And at night, and on weekends when necessary. I don't want to have to continually reboot from one os to another each time I need to work, so... In February, my group is being transferred to Intel, at which point I can start to use another distro, since the telecommuting connectivity is a dial-up. I plan on using SUSE 7.3 (I have an order pending). In any event, when I have my cd-rom on /dev/sr0 and my cd-rw on /dev/sr1, the following occurs when I mount: $ mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only cool..., but now when: $ mount /dev/cdrw /mnt/cdrw mount: block device /dev/cdrw is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: /dev/cdrw already mounted or /mnt/cdrw busy huh? And, say I dismount /dev/cdrom and: $ mount /dev/cdrw /mnt/cdrw mount: block device /dev/cdrw is write-protected, mounting read-only > And when I look at /mnt/cdrw, the cd-rom on /dev/sr0 spins, and the data is what is in that drive!!!

Well, maybe the difference is kernel versions. As stated previously, I am runing RH 7.0 (kernel version 2.2.16-22).

First, thanks for your reply. > I think you're greatly overcomplicating this process. First, there > should be no need to create new block devices or symlinks to block > devices. Remove all of that cruft, as its only confusing the > configuration further. I had to create the block device for SCSI because there was none; no /dev/sr0, /dev/sr1, etc. And I already had /dev/cdrom linked to /dev/hdd. Seemed reasonable to point /dev/cdrw to the device that the cdrw was on. They're only soft links after all...

CD-RW install puzzles
I am running RH 7.0 and have added a Yamaha 2100EZ CD writer (IDE). I used the SxS for replacing a cdrom with a cdburner as the blueprint for adding the writer. I have no SCSI controllers. Before I added the writer I had the following drives: /dev/hdaboot partitions for RH and LTP /dev/hdbpartitions for COL2.4 boot and home directories /dev/hdcCD-ROM I added the following line to my lilo.conf, then ran lilo: append="hdd=ide-scsi" I wanted /dev/hdd to be used for the CD-RW. I performed the following to try and make this happen (as root of course): $ mknod /dev/sr0 b 11 0 $ mkdir /mnt/cdrw $ ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrw Added the following line to /etc/fstab /dev/cdrw /mnt/cdrw iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0 Created /etc/rc.modules as follows (there wasn't one initially): #!/bin/sh /sbin/modprobe sg /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi At this point (after rebooting), when I tried mounting the CD-RW I got the following: $ mount /dev/cdrw /mnt/cdrw mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/cdrw as a block device then I tried: $ mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrw mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/csr0 as a block device And I could no longer access my CD-ROM. The CD-ROM should not be using the SCSI emulation as /dev/cdrom->/dev/hdc. This is very puzzling to me. So, I put both CD-ROM and the CD-RW pointing to the SCSI devices by dong the follwing: $ mknod /dev/sr1 b 11 0 $ rm /dev/cdrw; ln -s /dev/sr1 /dev/cdrw $ rm /dev/cdrom; ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom Now I have the following configuration: /dev/hdaboot partitions for RH and LTP /dev/hdbpartitions for COL2.4 boot and home directories /dev/sr0CD-ROM /dev/sr1CD-RW With this configuration, it appears that when I mount sr0, then mount sr1, I can only see the content of sr1 (and visa versa, depending on mount order). Also, I cannot read from the CD-RW from a CD player program or anything else. I *can* read from the CD-ROM using a CD player program, however. Is the ide-scsi emulator code not able to handle more than 1 device (I don't think this is the case)? I can also use xcdroast and xgcombust to burn CDs and read from the CD-ROM. So I can still function. But this state puzzles me and I really want to understand what is happening. Any help would be appreciated.

Best Linux CD burners?
Hi all, I am in the market for a RW CD for my pc and was wondering what burners are most compatible with Linux. My current distro (most often used) is RH 7.0.

Ok guys, I am a Compaq (aka Digital) employee and have been affected both by the Compaq-Intel deal and the newly announced HP deal. It is a merger of companies (but swallowed up is a good term too). It is not clear at this point what Unix will survive. As far as Linux is concerned, Compaq has been Linux friendly too since it had a Redhat and Suse distro for its alpha platform. And Intel is also going for linux too (believe it or not - I can say no more at this time). It was clearly a shock for us folks at the Spitbrook Road facility in Nashua, NH. But when you think about it, in light of the Intel agreement, not all that suprising. Being a general purpose developer sort myself, I am lucky in that I don't have to stick with an OS and can move as I desire. So I am going to stick it out and will probably end up working for Intel next year. But one can never tell, so quickly can things change! :-) = _____ Susan Macchia mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _ - Running Linux - because life is too short for reboots... __ Do You Yahoo!?

Very good question. Do you have a setup to try it? I don't see why, if you've been able to log in using a secure shell, why this wouldn't work. The name/ip that you use to log in would be the one used to set the DISPLAY environment variable. Incidently, you don't need the ".0", since this is the default.

You can run you KDE apps from your downstairs PC fairly easily w/o having to use a GUI login. If you are networked, simply telnet to your downstairs PC in an xterm. Once logged in, set your display to your upstairs PC: in C-shell: $ setenv DISPLAY :0 Now you can run any app from that term and display it on your upstairs machine.
