C question
Sorry if this is as dumb as I feel, but I haven't been successful at digging out an answer. I would like a routine to read the keyboard and report the single key pressed, and give me control back without waiting for ENTER to be pressed. Under MSDOS (where all of my c experience has been) there was a c routine called getch() that would do just this. I can't seem to find one under Linux. I have tried calls to setvbuf specifying _IONBF, hoping that it would alter the workings of fgetc(stdin), but it didn't seem to help. I tried copying the unbuffered getchar routine (which uses read(0,c,1)) from KR, but it waits for me to press ENTER, too. The only success I've had involved guessing at how to use Curses. Unfortunately, although the man pages for individual curses routines (like it's getch) say 'see also curses(3x)' there apparently is no such page on my system, so I really don't know if I am misusing things or not. (Second question: is there an overview of Curses available somewhere ?). Could somebody point me in the right direction ?

usb mouse not working after recompiling kernel
I have the same problem, but I think I know why (but can't fix it though). I recompiled RH9 on my laptop and the USB mouse worked, but I recompiled RH9 on my server and that failed, the only difference between the 2 lsmod results are that on the laptop, input is: input [mousedev keybdev hid] while the server lacks the hid module under input. My take on this is that the OS doesn't look to the hid devices for input, but I don't know how to load hid as part of the input group. My USB and and input config trees under the kernel tree build spec are identical on the laptop and the server. I can't just take my working laptop kernel config file over to the server and recompile though because of the server being smp and shock full of scsi devices In case you're wondering, a cat of /proc/bus/usb/devices correctly shows my mouse (if it's plugged in) on the server, it's just not under the input module tree.

Suport for cedilha
Hi Bret, I am facing the same problem. I can use all accent characters but even with KDe configured the and ç dows not work under Redhat 9. Unfortunately no one in this list or redhat seems to have experience with that or interest of solving it. Valeu - rt Hi, I've been an end user of Mandrake Linux for a number of years now, but recently decided to give Red Hat 9 a try. I've had two big problems so far. The second problem has to do with keying in the c cedilha. I use a US keyboard with dead keys to key in accented letters and the c cedilha. In the bash shell and in emacs, Red Hat is acting the same as Mandrake when I type in the usual '-c combination -- an accented c. That is not what I want but is acceptable, since I normally don't use accented letters in bash or emacs. However, in several other programs in which I do, Ximian Evolution and Lyx, in particular, the key combination gives completely useless results. In Evolution, the combination produces an underscore while in Lyx it isn't even recognized. I am using the us_intl keymap, as I did in Mandrake, and I think I've tried every possible keyboard type that's within reason, but nothing works. So what's going on? If XFree86 isn't taking care of the keyboard, what is? Best regards, Brett Carlson __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Still no USB. I read a complaint of a similar nature on one of the Redhat lists I was subscribed to at the time, and I later saw a question concerning the same subject by someone else on this list. Who knows how many exist that I either missed, haven't said anything about it or just don't subscribe to any lists I read. But it's apparent to me that USB compiling has some oddities and uncertainties. There may be some unusual qualities to the devices themselves. In my own case, though, that would also mean I had to coincidentally own 2 such keyboards and 2 such mice that just happened to be made by different manufacturers on 3 separate machines with 3 different motherboard manufacturers. So my suggestion is, go back to something that works (pre-compiled) or use something non-USB devices. Sorry.

Of course, you'd have no portability
To put it mildly...
You're interacting with the stdio library. Use 'getc'--do man getc--for
single-character input. Since terminal input is line buffered, you will
have to make a call to 'setbuf'.
HOWEVER, if you're on Unix/Linux, you'll also have to turn off buffering
in the tty driver. This involves a call to tcgetattr, clearing at
least ICANON, in the c_lflag element, and then a call to tcsetattr.
(This will still show the input character being echoed; you'll have to
separately turn that off.) Man 'termios' for all this.
It sounds uglier than it is--the following really stupid example shows
how to do it. You should--as I don't here--check return values, etc.
(FOR THE NITPICKERS: I REPEAT, IT IS A QUICK AND DIRTY EXAMPLE.
DON'T POST OR MAIL TO TELL ME IT SHOULD BE MORE ROBUST...)
#include stdio.h
#include termios.h
#include unistd.h
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char foo;
struct termios krod;
setvbuf(stdin,NULL,_IONBF,0);
tcgetattr(fileno(stdin),krod);
krod.c_lflag ^= (ICANON|ECHO);
tcsetattr(fileno(stdin),TCSANOW,krod);
for(;;)
{
foo = getc(stdin);
printf(Got %c\n, foo);
if ( foo == 'x' )
break;

Re: Sound driver latency
An update on this issue... the Xmms output driver has a setting that controls the latency. I set this to 30ms (it was 3000ms, matching the latency I was experiencing). I also set the aRtsd latency to 30ms via the control panel. I also set realtime scheduling and made sure artsdwrapper was SUID root. However, Xmms still has a latency of 3s, making it nearly unusable. Interestingly, Xmms using OSS does NOT show the latency, nor does the noatun player using aRtsd server. Interesting. So I decided it was something specific to the Xmms aRtsd output plugin and posted a bug to bugs.xmms.org. -- Greg Bell -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Comcast Routing
Hardware Scenario: 2 PCs connected to a hub/switch and the hub/switch is connected to a Comcast cable modem that is then connected to the Comcast Cable Internet system.

What happens now is that the data transfer is limited to Comcast's upstream limit (256kbps) because the packets are going out to the internet and coming back to the other PC. How would I set this up so that the packets to go directly through the hub/switch to the other PC resulting in a much faster transfer rate? Side note: I noticed that 2 PCs running Windows w/ Netbeui and file sharing, the data transfer is that of LAN speed.

NetBeui does not ride on top of TCP/IP (like netbios). In fact, netbeui does not require TCP/IP to even be loaded. If your PC's connection to Comcast is PPPoE based, your only solution (that I'm aware of) is to install a firewall that makes the PPPoE connection to Comcast on a separate interface (eth0) and then configure your PC's to use an rfc1918 based network behind the firewall. i.e. eth0 of firewall connects to comcast, eth1 of firewall connects to hub or switch.

Thanks -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list That's why because you have a hub and a router. You are using the router to have direct access to the internet from both system as well as probably to have a firewall also. I am not sure why you have the hub also. But here we go, everything (I think) that's being sent from any PC is being routed through the ISP and then getting routed back to the other computer because the router is dynamically assigning the IP addresses for each of the PC's, but it should be able route traffic between the PC's without using the ISP so you need to find out how to do that. If you were using the hub only then you would lose the firewall but everything that was going through the hub would be on the LAN. You would hook the ISP to the hub and the computers through the hub and then select one computer to connect to internet and all others would talk to the internet via proxy to that computer so that you don't have to pay for extra IP addresses. You will need a software firewall. There are some that are free. You should at that point be able to see all the computer on the LAN from each of the computers. Now I am sure that you can setup the router and hub together to stop routing through the ISP but you need to look at your documentation for the router to figure out how to do it. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Valeu - rt Hi, I've been an end user of Mandrake Linux for a number of years now, but recently decided to give Red Hat 9 a try. I've had two big problems so far. The second problem has to do with keying in the c cedilha. I use a US keyboard with dead keys to key in accented letters and the c cedilha. In the bash shell and in emacs, Red Hat is acting the same as Mandrake when I type in the usual '-c combination -- an accented c. That is not what I want but is acceptable, since I normally don't use accented letters in bash or emacs. However, in several other programs in which I do, Ximian Evolution and Lyx, in particular, the key combination gives completely useless results. In Evolution, the combination produces an underscore while in Lyx it isn't even recognized. I am using the us_intl keymap, as I did in Mandrake, and I think I've tried every possible keyboard type that's within reason, but nothing works. So what's going on? If XFree86 isn't taking care of the keyboard, what is? Check out: http://randell.myby.co.uk/jim/tips-compose.html I used it to get ¾ and ° mapped. Also works with ç.

RE: Comcast Routing
I hope this isn't being sent as HTML... if so, I'm sorry, there is no option in this web interface to turn it off. You almost have it. Two things: First, some magic has to happen to allow both machines to share a single IP address. Recent Windows calls it Connection Sharing, IIRC, and in Linux circles it's called NAT (Network address translation) or IP Masquerading. So you will need some sort of device, either a computer or a network device plugged in between your LAN and the Internet to perform NAT. The *simplest* solution is to but a cheap network device. My Linksys device cost about $120, IIRC, and has a 4-port dual speed hub, acts as a wireless access point, runs a DHCP server, is a DHCP client, and has a pretty good web-based interface for configuration. A linux box could easily do NAT and the DHCP stuff. I did this usng RH for a long time, then replaced it with a LEAF (Linux router; leaf.sourceforge.net) box, then bought the Linksys box for the wireless access. DHCP, in case you're not familiar, relieves you from having to manually assign static internal network addresses... not a big deal for two computers but a nice feature sometimes. My laptop appreciates it, for example. Why do you have a static IP? If you expect any in-bound traffic (e.g., you want to host games like Unreal Tournament or you're running a web- or mail server) then it will be important to be able to expose internal ports externally. The LEAF Linux distribution and the Linksys (and surely other dedicated devices/distros) have special ways to make this easy. I would say that the Linksys device is much simpler to configure but far more limited than the LEAF distro. Second, maybe this is just semantics, but you do not need a proxy server. (did you mean connection sharing?) A proxy catches web requests and checks to see if it already has the page in its cache. This will speed up web access in some situations enormously but I've never thought the it was worthwhile for one or two people. If the Windows is one of the old DOS flavors, forget it. If it's a choice between a Windows NT flavor and Linux/Samba then it's more of a toss, up. I'd see which has been driver support. Support in RH 9 seems very good, click-click-click and I've set up printers that I could never make work properly using earlier versions. Linux will be more reliable than WIndows, IMHO. -Alan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sat 8/2/2003 4:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject:Re: Comcast Routing I will soon have a similar situation...

Re: Comcast Routing
The way I've done it is to have your linux box contain two NICs. Eth0 (NIC#1) connects to your cable modem. Eth1 (NIC#2) connects to your Windows Box's NIC via a cross-over cat5 cable. Then activate connection sharing in your Linux box by assigning Eth0 to your internet IP address and Eth1 to your local IP address (192.168.0.1) which will be the gateway for your Windows box. On your Windows box, set your ip address to 192.168.0.2 and your gateway address to 192.168.0.1 and netmask 255.255.255.0. For DNS, use the same settings as your Linux box. Also, connection sharing in your linux box might end up running a DHCPd in which case, you could just set your Windows box to DHCP. This path eliminates the need for a hub or switch. If down the road you want to get more PCs then you'll need that hub/switch. Lee Flier wrote: I will soon have a similar situation... I have two computers at home.

I believe that is correct, I also believe that connection sharing is a fancy way of using a proxy.

basic bash shell ?
Hi, I am trying to learn a little more about the bash shell so I can figure out some of the script files that I see all the time. Is there a way to run bash scripts or a single line of a script in an interactive mode from the command line and echo the output back to the shell so I can work along with some of the commands? Hope this is not to dumb of a question to elicit a meaningful response. TIA Bob -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

What I do is connect a Linksys router/firewall to the cable modem. In my case, it's got the dynamic address, but you can configure yours with the static IP. Then the systems connected to the firewall connect using a private IP address (192.168.0.x) and have their default gateway set to the router (which has two addresses - one facing in and one facing out - the one you want to point to is the internal one). Once you've solved the outgoing connections, just turn on port forwarding for the inbound connections for things like http or smtp. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
