Asus P4T-E onboard sound
Hi, Anyone has configured successfully the onboard sound on Asus P4T-E mother board? It uses the i850 chipset with AC'97. The ASUS cd did come with the alsa beta driver for the sound but I am getting some compiling error with the driver. I have to query what is the problem. That computer is not hook to the net yet. Thus it makes the querying a little harder especially if it requires downloading any large package from the net. I was wondering if I would have more chance for the sound support in more recent 2.4 kernel? If I recall correctly, RH7.2 comes with kernel-2.4.7 and the latest official release is 2.4.17 ...

Re: Local network : sharing internet cable connection
Hi, OK, I will go with the Linksys router. I have checked for the BEFSR41, its cost here in Montreal is around 129$ (Canadian) which corresponds to roughly 80$ US. The description of the unit though does not include an Ethernet card I will have to purchase one that performs well under both win98/RH7.2 out of the box. Any suggestions? Thanks.

RE: Telnet
Not sure, but a couple tips: - Does your firewall settings permit telnet (actually your telnet clients would report an error so this isn't it - telnet often does not allow a remote user to log in as root - Wild guess /etc/hosts.allow ? /etc/hosts. Okay, the truth is I was really writing to warn you that telnet is from the devil!!! (No not Bill from M$, the real Satan) Telnet uses clear-text (or some really worthless encoding technique, like Base-64) to send passwords over the internet, as well as the rest of your data. You should seriously consider using ssh instead. You can use the ssh command on any linux box or using cygwin. I also like (mostly) the ssh client for Win32 from www.f-secure.com. They have a 30 trial. O'reilly has a good book all about ssh. You can also replace evil things like rlogin with ssh and the scp copy program is great!!! Beware of the evil telnet!!!

Re: Format hda:
Its not a format issue. You need to install a "boot loader". Using 6.1 you should have a program called "lilo" (LInux LOader)on your system or on your distribution CD. Install that, follow the instructions in "man lilo" and you should be all set to dual boot. Quick note: 1. Make a boot diskette. 2. Boot from the diskette to be sure that it works. 3. Install (what I assume to be) windows. 4. boot from diskette and configure & run lilo. You need to do this becuase windows will overwrite the "boot record" where lilo stores the boot information.

There sure is! The shell (e.g., bash) is not merely a command interpreter (as it is in MessyDOS), but it is a flexible and powerful programming language. Lets say that you want to convert all filenames in a given directory from upper or mixed case to all lowercase. you could do it easily, like this: cd targetdir for i in (*) do mv $i `echo $i | tr "[A-Z]" "[a-z]"` done The line: for i in (*) selects all items (including subdirectory names) in the current directory. The: do ... done marks the beginning and end of the block of code that is repeated by the for loop. The: mv $i `echo $i | tr "[A-Z]" "[a-z]"` does the actual dirty work. The variable "i" contains the name of one item from the directory. Each time around the loop it gets the name of the next item. So, we're renaming the file to something else. But what else? The new name will be the result of the command: echo $i | tr "[A-Z]" "[a-z]" if $i contains "NoWisThe.Time", the result of this command will be "nowisthe.time". note that we're hiding that sequence inside (what is commonly called) 'backquotes' or 'backticks': `stuff` NOT 'stuff' The two are quite different. Doing: `echo $i | tr "[A-Z]" "[a-z]"` evaluates to the TEXT result of the echo|tr command, so that the final command turns into: mv File.One file.one mv File.tWo file.two mv FILe.ThrEE file.three etc. Also, check out the man page on 'tr' to see all the cool things you can do with it.

Re: Bug in Bash Initilization, /etc/bashrc? Zsh has a solution!
Poking around just a bit more, I find that Zshell has solved this problem. While I've not used zsh, its documentation shows the ability to 'typeset -U path' in a startup file. This tells the shell not to add anything to the path that is already there. This would seem to be a good feature to add to Bash.

Small Linux distro
I am looking to install linux on an old laptop, specifically a 486SX25 MHz processor with 8M RAM and a 127 MB hard drive. I don't think that there is any chance of getting RedHat on it, at least not 7.2. Can anyone suggest a linux distro that would be capable? Would an older version of RH be a good fit? Ian.

What would be best is if I can get RH7.2 to recognize there is a usb mouse and then use the XF86Config-4 file with the correct device.

sndconfig/synth0
Greetings! I'm running Red Hat Linux 7.1, with kernel 2.4.9 (from www.kernel.org). I installed the kernel back in September. In late November, my system died. It turned out to need a new power supply, but also the old motherboard had to be completely replaced with a new motherboard, so all my bus cards were removed from the system and placed back in. My sound card had worked very well. I have the Creative Labs AWE64. Since I got my system back, it hasn't been working. I was expecting I'd have to probably "reconfigure" it. I have run sndconfig. The documentation says it (on Audio interface) is 220H, IRQ 5, DMA 1 and 5, and the MPU is 330H. dmesg reports the following regarding my sound card: <<>> Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 sb: Creative SB AWE64 PnP detected sb: ISAPnP reports 'Creative SB AWE64 PnP' at i/o 0x220, irq 9, dma 1, 5 SB 4.16 detected OK (220) sb: Interrupt test on IRQ9 failed - Probable IRQ conflict sb: 1 Soundblaster PnP card(s) found. <<>> In experimentation, I have set the IRQ to 5 and 9, the first DMA to 1 and the second to 5, according to the documentation from the sound card. When running sndconfig, it says a sound sample will now be played to determine if my sound card has been correctly configured. I hear what sounds like the very beginning of a word, but it isn't complete. And then, when it goes on to say a MIDI sample will now be played to determine if my sound card's synth has been correctly configured, I get: modprobe: Can't locate module synth0 I don't seem to have a synth0 anywhere on my system. I was going to start BRU (after setting /etc/bruxpat) to see whether synth0 existed on an old system I had back before September. However, it seems that now my Seagate Travan tape drive isn't working.So, that's another problem! :-) If I didn't have a synth0, though, I apparently didn't need it before (as the system ran for about two months just fine before I had the motherboard replaced)...? Can anyone offer any help here? Thank you! Barry ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: resource unavailable?
what is running on the machine? anything that uses a lot of memory? it sounds like your system is running out of memory. all of those commands you listed require a fork to run (bash has to fork, then exec the new program). you would still be able to use bash internal commands (like "cd"), but that won't get you very far. if could also be that you're running out of free file descriptors, but i think that's supposed to give a different error message to the system. i've most often seen that message on systems that are using all the memory (either on purpose or from programs that have memory leaks). -tcl.

RH7.2 Raid Install Question
Hi, I have two identical 18GB scsi disks. I'd like to set them up as a software RAID-1 (Mirror). Ideally this will give me better read performance and allow some redundancy in case one of the disks dies. During the RedHat 7.2 install, I created three primary partitions, /boot, /, and swap. /boot and / and configured as RAID1. The system boots fine in this configuration, and performance is good. If I remove the second disk, simulating a disk failure, the system still boots as I would expect. However, if I remove the first disk, simulating a disk failure, RH does NOT boot. I've already checked in fdisk that the boot parition on the second disk is flagged as bootable. All the documentation regarding booting of a mirrored raid seems to pertain to lilo. Does anyone know how to get mirrored boot RAID working with GRUB? I even copied the MBR from the first disk to the second.. Booting off the second disk still fails. All I get is "grub- loading stage two" in an endless loop.

Re: lacking Linux ADSL connectivity over MSN Broadband
Thanks to all who made such thought provoking responses! FYI... The solutions were really very simple when I got over the thought that I had to run DHCP and/or PPPoE. Since the NetDSL 800 modem supplied to me by MSN (evidently the only access now available for Home use by MSN/Quest) runs DHCP but only responds to 192.168.1.2 (from 192.168.1.1). I simply assigned the 192.168.1.2 address to the eth0 card directly connected to the modem. My home LAN I assigned with the 192.168.2.0 subnet on eth1 with samba and a few other utilities. I entered 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 as nameservers, made sure route assigned the default eth0 gateway and it all started working!

Internet connection woes
I have been trying for some time to get an internet connection for my redhat installation 7.2 but to no success. I have input the details from my ISP and the KDE software will recognize (Gnome won't ) my modem and display its status as ready.However when trying to get on the net with netscape, mozilla or the kde browser I forget its name, I get the following error in Gnome. attempting to configure internet application "usernet"(process 1895) has crashed due to a fatal error. segmentation fault . For the Kde applications I get the message that the internet address is not recognized. When starting up my computer the following problem also comes up.

Network Administration Tool - alias interface eth0:0
RedHat 7.2 replaced netcfg with neat. Netcfg allowed for the easy creation of alias network interfaces. Despite numerous attempts to create an eth0:0, similar to what was created in netcfg, I have yet to manipulate the neat interface to do the same. I cannot find any documentation for this tool/feature except section 6.2.1 of the rhl-cg-72.pdf which says you can do it, but no explanation.

If you say so (having been a Mandrake pick definitely helps it's credibility). That would indicate that my problem was with the graphical installer. The reasoning behind dropping grub is that I was setting up a machine with two SCSI harddrives, working off of an oldish Symbios Scsi card. It seemed at least conceivable that this configuration was a little too odd for grub to be working with it. > > (My experience with installing: first time I tried > > graphical/grub, it acted like it installed, but it > > evidentally didn't put anything on the hard disk. > > "Evidentally"?. Yeah. Tried to do an install (graphical/grub) and I thought that it had worked. Certainly I saw no error messages. Then I repeatedly tried booting the machine, checking BIOS settings and so on, but it kept acting like there wasn't anything to boot off of the hard drive. Someone suggested I try a text/lilo install, and it worked. Notably, it took a lot longer for the install to "finish", and in retrospect my first attempt "finished" supiciously fast. > Do a ls /boot/grub and verify it. Well, it's there. The date on it looks the same as much of the other stuff in /boot. What does that prove?

At the last balug meeting, someone who follows the kernel list was telling me that there have been problems reported there. If I get a chance, I'll go and try and look some reports up for you. I'm definitely convinced that Ext3 should *not* have been made the default for a *.2 release.

Do you, or don't you want to talk about this? It's relevant because newbies need to understand that just because RedHat is pushing it, doesn't mean it's going to work for them.

In fact it works better than fine since you won't be > waiting for your system to boot up. Alright, maybe you missed this or I just didn't include it on this list. I know I mentioned it several times, and I'm almost certain this was one of the places, but If I have squid cache on ext3, it takes 2 to 3 days and it becomes corrupt. This is reproducible. This happened in both Roswell betas, in 7.2 and now in 7.1 (after I dumped 7.2 for a lot of reasons). It goes away every time I change to ext2, it comes back every time I go to ext3. It didn't matter if the parition was an ext2 to ext3 upgrade or was formatted and installed ext3. It didn't matter if it was on /var (usual rom default) or /usr or anyplace else. It didn't matter the browser, what desktop, whether a desktop was in use a or anything else. I used netscape 4.7X, mozilla 0.9whatever, galeon, opera netscape 6.x and dillo. All had the same result. If I turned proying off, no problem. When I turned proxying back on, corruption. I could delete and recreate the cache and have corruption in 2 to 3 days. This happened on 2 different computers, both perntiums (200MHz MMX, 25GB harddrive, 192MB ram; 400MHz, 40GB harddrive, 384MB ram). It happened with large swap space and small swap space. It happened right after reboots or after a long period of not shutting anything down. It happened if I left squid running or I restarted it. It happened if I had junkbuster forwarding to squid, went straight to squid, used dansguardian or squidguard or anything else. It was always squid, only squid and only with ext3. How did it manifest itself? I would start getting the homepage of MCMSystems. They are, I believe, a company that hosts one of the tucows (linuxberg) sites. I've only been to the homepage once in my life, and only a long time ago. All hard drives have been completely and thoroughly wiped, repartitioned and formatted since that time and it still happened. In any case, I would go to, say, freshmeat, and end up at the MCMSystems homepage. At first it would only be a couple of pages. Within a few days, almost every page I tried to reached would end up at the same page. Plus, the URL line in the browser would be what I tried to get, just that the displayed page was not what I wanted. If I tried freshmeat the URL would say http://freshmeat.net and the page would be MCMSystems. As a test I tried clicking a few of the links that were on the page. I'd get the freshmeat errors complaining about the page not existing. So it was even affecting the links inside the pages. I placed the mouse over links (while still viewing MCMSystems page) and it would say something like http://freshmeat.net/services/about.html which naturally didn't exist but which would have been fine if I'd wanted the same pages from MCMSystems. To make sure, I totally deleted everything and tried again. 2-3 days later it would begin again. I'd delete the cache, convert to ext2. Not a single problem. I could use it for weeks and nothing would be amiss. I could than change back to ext3 and all would work. But, 2-3 days would pass and it would begin again. Now, I had been going to the tucows linux page that was hosted by them. So, I stopped doing that. First I wiped out all partitions and settings and reformatted all partitions for a new install (this was when I was returning to 7.1). So there was only one reference to thatpage and that was in bookmarks for a couple of browsers. I made /var ext3, set up squid and deleted the bookmark for tucows and set up one in another state. So? 2-3 days later, MCMSystems. About the only test I didn't think to run was using ext3 until it got corrupt, then converting back to ext2 and seeing whether it straightened out or kept using corrupt cache. I'm guessing it still would have been corrupt, but I didn't substantiate that. I now have only one partition that is _not_ ext3 and that's the one the squid cache is on. I've had zero problems with this setup, no matter how long I let it run or where I visit. So, this wasn't slashdot and it is a problem that I can substantiate at will. And it has the added advantage of being one you've heard about. To be fair, I haven't heard of anyone else having anything even remotely similar. I'm not slamming ext3, I love

nis passwords
Hi, I'm having problems changing user passwords on our NIS network. All of the machines were recently upgraded to Red Hat 7.2. Users can log in to the machines, but they can't change their passwords. We used to use 'yppasswd' to change passwords. Now the command is going all the through retyping the new password. But then you get this error: Please enter new password: Please retype new password: Error while changing the NIS password. The NIS password has not been changed on ripley.emeraldbiostructures.com. All of the network services seem to be working, like NFS, telnet, Samba. 'ypwhich' on any machine returns the correct NIS server. I restarted ypbind on all of the machines with no error, and also restarted ypserv on the NIS server. I still can't change passwords. 'ypcat -k passwd' displays all of the users like I expect. Why does this network appear to recognize everything except passwords? Thanks, Hidong ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

RE: ext3 or ext2 ?
Hello Dominic, About the problems that people have had with ext3, I havn't had any. Here is my system spec : Pentuim 2 366 256 Meg RAM 2 x Ultra2 18 gig SCSI 1 x 10 gig IDE 1 x 20 gig IDE I run all my partions on ext3 and there is a 45 gig volume spanned accross the drives. My server (internal use only) serves MP3's via SAMBA and HTTP Streaming ,About 1 gig a week in proxy request, 2 gig a week in HTTP requests (not counting MP3s) and 4 gig in FTP (upload and download) and lastly its an Interbase and MySQL server. Even with my testing and bad configs on the system I must take my had off to RedHat 7.2 it really does preform VERY well. The box also gets backed up every night via SAMBA and local tape drive...Soon my DNS server will also be on it. My final word : I think ext3 and RH72 is stable Just my 2c Cheers, Pieter ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: ext3 or ext2 ?
I'm not complaining here, but I have noticed a performance lag while using ext3. I have two hard drives, both Western Digital. One is used as my system drive (40G, 7200rpm, ext3) the other is used for storing archives (60G, 5400rpm, ext2). When I run hdparm -t /dev/hda(40G), I get average results of about 16.5 MB/sec., the same test on /dev/hdb(60G), the results are about 23.0 Mb/sec. For a slower drive, I should not be getting faster read times. I do however like the recovery aspects of ext3. After a power failure, or system crash, I don't have to worry about waiting through 10-15 minutes of fsck to be up and running again. Not to mention not having to worry so much about data loss. I guess it all depends on what you are using the system for. If it is a production system, I would probably stick with ext2. For a home computer, there is no reason not to use ext3. After all, it is under development and can only get better.(right?) -Mike On Wed, 2002-01-02 at 19:27, Jared Brick wrote: > > > Despite the fact that people say that ext3 is good enough for production > > use, you can't ignore the dozens and dozens of complaints people make > > about it constantly.

Multiple IP Address and Multiple Gateways
I'm going to replace a Windows NT server with Redhat 7.2. The NT server has one NIC but several IP addresses on a multi-netted segment. For example, it has a main IP address of 192.168.1.2 with the gateway being 192.168.1.1. It also has virtual addresses of 192.168.1.3, 192.168.1.4. It has another virtual IP address of 192.168.2.2 and another gateway of 192.168.2.1. It then has a few more virtual IP's on this subnet. 192.168.2.3, 192.168.2.4. This is all configured in the Advanced TCPIP properties of NT Server 4.0. Where do I set this up on Linux? I have added virtual IP's but I'm not sure about where to add additional gateways.

Got it in one. DNS registration allows you to associate your IP with a domain name. Unfortunately, if you use DHCP this may change, although most providers won't do so unless your machine is shutdown or loses connectivity, and most won't even then. On both DSL and cable, I've had the same DHCP assigned address for months on end--in fact, on neither DirecTV (nee Telocity) nor AT&T Cable did I ever have a reassignment of my IP. Plus, I've administrative rights to my primary and secondary DNS servers, anyway. Thus, I've dealt with traditional DNS, and written scripts that run periodically on my system to check for changes in IP on the network interface with respect to my DNS zone files. Dynamic DNS simply allows your system to submit IP changes to your DNS server automatically on IP reassignment. This will usually result in a short period of service interruption while all the cached nameservers expire and update your records--either you, or the dynamic DNS provider, want short timeouts to minimize this outage. There are both commercial and free organizations offering dynamic DNS; it's typically inexpensive, even if you pay for it, and there are reports that service reliability from the free services can range from very good to questionable. Check out www.dyndns.com--hmm, I see they've stopped accepting new accounts until they can comfortably handle the new load--or www.dyndns.org, which is a different organization, despite the similarity of names. Do a Google search with keywords "dynamic DNS free", if you want to find other free providers, or leave off the 'free' keyword if you don't care.

Use one of the free dynamic Ip services. A couple are dyndns and dns2go. Both allow you to ftp back using just a regular URL-type name. That's how my ftp links work. They only supposedly set it up for http, but I've been using them for ftp without problems. One bit of weirdness is, I can ftp back to one using a www on the ftp link, or without it. I don't recall them even requiring the www on the http ports, but it works. On both no less! -- Failure is not an option.

My group is looking at migrating 1300 users from WordPerfect 6 for Solaris to StarOffice for Linux when we roll out new servers this summer. Unfortunately, StarOffice for Linux does not have WordPerfect filters. We need a way to convert the WP documents to a format that StarOffice can read -- such as DOC or RTF. I was wondering if any of you have used Filtrix or KeyPak? If so, what was your experience? Do you have any other suggestions for doing a large scale one-time conversion like this (we plan to convert the documents at the time the new servers are installed and leave it at that)? -- Janyne M.

Re: firewall-config-tool
Okay, here's what I get when I try to use Konqueror on 192.168.1.8 to hit a web server at 192.168.1.2.
