I have been unable to get an 8i client to install and/or run on RH9.
Not that I"m a guru in that regard, but I have spent some hours trying.
And like you, I've been able to find NO help anywhere on this topic.

I don't know anything about PHP, so I can't help you with compiling
it against 9i.

But you could try this (horrible) kludge:
install the 9i client, then make symlinks to the various 9i shared
libs that are named the same as the 8i version of that lib. This
may allow you to get PHP running. Or maybe not. I did it once upon
a time for a different app, and it appeared to be working, given 
limited testing. But you can be sure Oracle isn't going to support it!

I've pretty much stopped using Opera for Linux (used it pretty
faithfully for 2 or 3 years) since MozillaFirebird. Why?
One big reason is because Opera's printing of web pages is
absolutely horrid. It won't print, or it prints to the wrong
printer, or the pages' formats are all screwed up, or... And
despite me (and others) having complained for 2 years it hasn't
been corrected. But you're right, it's small, looks good, works
great (mostly).

My recollecton is that X-CD Roast doesn't support this. Don't know about
the latest versions, though.

I've done it by hand using mkisofs and cdrecord, but it was somewhat

Srinivas:

You've got two related but different issues here.

The first is how do control the serial port from a C or C++ program,
the second is how to control the modem.

The first is pretty much like any Unix system. There is a HOWTO for
serial programming on Linux, I suggest you look at the HOWTO documents
on your distribution, or check out the LDP (Linux Documentation Project)
for their HOWTO pages.

Regarding programming the modem, you need to know its commandset and 
the responses it sends, so you can (having written the lower-layer
code to handle the serial port) then send it the desired commands
and parse its responses for correctness. Unfortunately, every modem,
even those that proclaim "Hayes Compatible" has its own slightly
incompatible set of commands, so you need the correct documentation
for the exact modem you have, or the one you intend as your program's
target.

I don't have ANY if those items in my modules.conf, and my sony
CRX210A1 CDRW works fine for me. The only configuration setting is in
/etc/grub.conf, where it says:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.9-34 ro root=/dev/hda5 hdc=ide-scsi hdf=ide-scsi

so tht both of my CD drives use scsi emulation.

I HAVE had trouble, in the past (with another much older CDRW drive) with
certain brands/types of CDRW media that it either refused to recognize,
or would recognize then fail during the burn operation.  have you tried
a different brand of blank CDRW? I've had best luck with TDK or Fuji
700 meg media. I had a batch of memorex last year that the older burner
would burn onto but then refused to recognize once the burn was done.

Nope, I've no idea if one even exists. But your best bet may be to find

Well, those are Windoze files, anyway, so how would they do you any

I have a RH8 box here, but it doesn't have a modem in it. However,
the internet setup wizard doesn't REQUIRE you to choose a country.
You should just ignore the country list and enter the appropriate
ISP settings.

Sounds like a plain generic external serial modem, so they're pretty

Well, first thing is figure out which serial port it's connected to.
if it's on (what windoze calls) COM1, that's /dev/ttyS0 for Linux. Knowing
that, do this:

ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem

and of course if it's COM2, do this instead:

ln -s /dev/ttyS1 /dev/modem

having done that, you should be able to go click on the internet
setup button and follow the directions, using /dev/modem as the 
serial port.

You ARE unmounting it before opening the drive, aren't you?
In KDE (and I assume Gnome, too) you right-click on the cdrom icon on
your desktop, choose "eject" and it will be unmounted and ejected. Or
use the "umount" command if you're a command-line kind of guy. (note
there is no "n" between the "u" and the "m".)

By reading "between the lines" here, I guess that you mean your linux
box is also the firewall/router in your network, and it has a directly-
connected internet connection of some sort. If that's the case, I'd
think you probably DID open it to the world.

I'm not guru on linux firewall configuration so I can't tell you how to
fix that (I'm sure there is a way), but... I'd suggest a safer and perhaps
simpler solution would be to put in a dedicated firewall in front of your
linux box, so the linux box doesn't have to be as hardened against the
outside world.

If you have an old junk PC lying around (I'm using a Pentium-class
machine, an AMD K5-pr100) w/ 64MB RAM, myself. I'm using Smoothwall,
but there are other choices, such as "ip cop". These are small Linux-
based systems that are designed to do nothing but serve as a firewall.
they run on extra programs that could compromise security.

I have similar problems on my box. I can make it almost stable by
turning off AGP support by inserting the appropriate options in the
XF86COnfig file. See the Nvidia release notes for all the various
options you can use to control how their drivers work.
I say "almost" because every now and then, not often, it will hang
the whole machine when switching from text to GUI modes, i.e., if I"m
at a text console, I do ALT-F9 (RH defaults to ALT-F7, but I've added
2 more text consolesl to my configuration) it'll draw the X screen,
or part of it, then the whole thing comes to a screeching halt. But
it's rare, so I tolerate it.

Not if you're printing FROM Unix/linux TO unix/linux. You want a Unix/lpd
printer.

Perhaps you need to check the file /etc/lpd.perms, which controls
which lpd services are available and to whom. near the bottom (at least
of mine, on RH7.2, using lprng--your mileage WILL vary if you're using
CUPS) is this:

# allow local job submissions only
#REJECT SERVICE=X NOT SERVER

The default setting is to have the second of those two lines NOT
commented, which prevents remote lpd systems from accessing your lpd
subsystem. The change shown here will let ANY remote lpd client talk to
your lpd server, which may or may not be what you want. I suggest you read
the (voluminous) commentary in /etc/lpd.perms to see how to restrict it to
only the subset of clients to which you wish to actually serve printing.

To expand upon this (correct) answer:

unzip
unzip without arguments gives you a full screen summary of its commands.

Enterprise WS

2003-08-16 Thread fred smith
There doesn't seem to be a list for WS 2.1 (if I'm wrong, plase accept
my apologies up-front...) so I'll ask here.

I'm trying to install oracle 8.1.7 (client only) on a WS 2.1 box.
The installation actually went fairly painlessly, using the same
procedures that are known to work on RH 7.1/7.2.

However, once installed, I cannot get either netasst or netca to
work. Found a posting in one of the oracle fora at oracle.com that
said for AS 2.1 to download blackdown 1.1.8 and install it. That
works, sort of, in that both utilities will not start up and sort
of run, but certain critical things still don't work. Like, in netasst,
the place where I choose connection type (tcp/ip, whatever) is blank.
netca chokes Java when I try to add a connection.

So, question is: Anybody got a clue how to install and make 8.1.7
CLIENT work on a WS 2.1 box?

I tried to look at the puschitz.com site, but I couldn't get to it,
looks like it may be gone or at least down.

Thanks!

I'd suggest you try "man indent". Indent will almost certainly do
what you want

An older version of indent I once haed (not the one currently on RH)
contained, in the BUGS section of its man page:
There are too many options.

What are these "installation files"you're talking about? it seems
that you want the files that are contained on the installation CDROMS,...
and if that's not the case, then I haven't a clue what you were asking
for. The advice I gave was on how to get at the files inside the ISO
image, which I believe would give you what I think of as "installation
files". Were you looking for some other files? what?

No, you don't "copy an ISO file to a CD...", you "burn image file" 
onto the CD. There is a difference. If you "copy" it to a CD, you;ll
have a CD containing an ISO file. This is not what you want.

The ISO file is basically an image of a CD, it contains the CD file
system. So, you have to treat it as an image file so that when you're
done and view the CD you'll see the things that are within the ISO file.

If youse "Easy CD Creator" (on windoze), for example, pull down the
FILE menu and choose (from memory) "create CD from disk image", and
in the dialog that pops up change the file type from its default setting
(I don't recall what it is) to "iso". Select the ISO file and you're
off and running.

If you have the ISO files, and a Linux box, you can mount the ISO file
so you can then access its contents like any other mounted volume (with
the exception that an ISO filesystem is read only):

mount -oloop foo.ISO /mnt/loop
(you may need to create /mnt/loop).

It's POSSIBLE that the timidity installation doesn't populate any
menus. Lots of programs don't.

If this is the case you'll need to use the menu editor to add it.
Since I'm not running RH9 here, I can't be specific about where/how
you access the menu editor.

There are THREE ISO images necessary for installing RH 7.3. 

To burn them onto a CDROM, you need to use the "create CD from image file"
(or similar) function of your CD burning software. If done right, when
you have completed burning and look at the contents of the CD, you'll see
several files and subdirectories (dosutils, images, RedHat, and others).
If you have done it wrong, when you look at the CD you'll see one file
named .iso.

No, it doesn't need to be compiled. The system comes with a HUGE number of
programs and software tools, GCC is only one of them. Why would you want 
GCC if you don't need it for installing Redhat? Why, in case you should
ever want to: 1) write a program of your own, 2) install some other
program from source, 3) I'm sure you can think of another reason! ;^)

Thanks for the pointer.

In the meantime, another kind soul has pointed me to QuakeForge, which
is a version of both Quake and Quake2 under ongoing development.
Turns out it compiles and runs without trouble on my box. Since it
supports GL it also screams along at 50-70 FPS on my GeForce card even
when running in a 1250/1000 window on a 1280/1024 screen. Now all I
have to do is learn how to play it! ;^)

Thanks, Ed, for the reply.

The problem seems to be that all the binaries (that I can find) date
from 1998 and don't seem to work on a more-or-less modern system like
my RH72 box. I can't even get any result from "ldd foo" where "foo"
is the particular quake binary I try it on.

I found sources for "sdlquake" which builds and runs, but it's pretty slow
(though I admit I haven't tried it using SVGAlib yet).

I found an old HOWTO for building a QuakeWorld that uses GL and works
on Nvidia cards, but I don't want QuakeWorld, I want plain old Quake.
(you gotta be a whole lot better player than I am to expose yourself
to a multiplayer quake!) And I'll eventually want QuakeII, but that
comes later.

Linux quake

2003-06-29 Thread fred smith
I know I'm waay behind the times here,

I'm trying to figure out how to get quake (or quake II, either/both)
running on RH7.2.

So far all the binaries I've found are from 1998 and they don't seem
to work on the 2.4 kernel and glibc6. I can't even "ldd " 
them, which tells me they're really ancient.

I can't find any modern builds on quake or quakeII, most of the links 
I find on a google search either all have the same stuff, all point to
the same (few) download areas, or are dead (linuxquake., for example).

I've got an nvidia geforce-4 mx440 card, I'd think glquake could be made
to work there, but so far no go. I've just tried sdlquake and it is
unbearably slow. I thought sdl could use GL as a back-end, but either
this particular one doesn't, or else I don't have a clue how to set it
up.

Assistance anyone? Tks!

You should be able to do something like:
rm -f "/var/log/dev\/log"
or even write a short C program similar to this (untested) code:
 foo.c --
#include 
#include 
main (int argc, char ** argv)
{
if (argc == 2)
{
unlink (argv[1]);
}
return 0;
}
---
compile it:
cc -o foo foo.c
run it:

I wouldn't know if there's a GUI way to do it or not. But instead, I'd
"get my hands dirty" and type in a few commands into a console window.
Check out "man fdisk", "man mkfs", "man mke2fs", and related pages. Maybe
also man mount. You'll probably want to add it to /etc/fstab so it will
be automatically mounted (and fsck'd if need be) at boot time.

In "man mke2fs" note the -j option if you want an EXT3 filesystem
instead of the default EXT2.

good luck!

It doesn't matter which one is linked to which, really, all that matters
is that the app you're using to play points at the one you want it to
access. if the app is trying to use /dev/cdrom1, and if that links to
/dev/scd0, then it'll be trying to play sound on /dev/scd0.

Well, it only has ONE of your drives set up to use ide-scsi (/dev/hdc),
while the other one (/dev/hdd???) is still an ATAPI device. You should
be able to set them up like this:

ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom1
(of course, you can name the "cdromx" part of it anything you want,
so you could use /dev/firstcd and /dev/2ndcd, or anything else that
strikes your fancy--it's just a link/pointer/indirection to the real
device--as long as the programs that access it know the name you've
used).

There's nothing wrong with having one CD use ide-scsi emulation and
one not (except the one that does not is not usable by X-CDROAST). But
if you want both of them to use it, then set it up as you suggested up
above and change the /dev/cdromx links appropriately.

if you still don't get sound, the things to check are:
1. is the player even finding the drive? (i.e., does the drive actually
play the CD or not?)
2. if so, do you get sound at the headphone jack on the device?
3. if so, make sure the audio cable from the CD to the sound card
is properly connected. (also make sure it's not defective)
4. if so, do you have the correct channel volume turned up on your
sound mixer?
5. if so, is your sound card busted?
6. If NOT, I'm out of ideas!

FYI, here's the appropriate entry from my /etc/grub.conf:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.9-34 ro root=/dev/hda5 hdc=ide-scsi hdf=ide-scsi

And the /dev/cd* links:

lrwxrwxrwx1 root root9 Sep  1  2002 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0
lrwxrwxrwx1 root root9 Oct 24  2002 /dev/cdrom1 -> /dev/scd1

/dev/cdrom is just a symbolic link to the actual device. Therefore
it can be named anything you like. You could name it after your dog

Normally the sound goes from the CD drive to the sound card via the
analog audio cable, so drive setup shouldn't matter at all, as long
as the CD player app works.

But I seem to have a vague recollection of someone mentioning that
in RH9 (and I may be completely wrong about this) the player apps
extract digital sound from the ide bus instead. If this is right,
my theory is that the player app is confused by the change of naming
of the CD drive. You'll note that instead of /dev/hda (or hdb/c/d)
your CD drive is now /dev/scd0 (or scd1, or...). Perhaps you simply
need to reconfigure your media player accordingly? does your /dev/cdrom
point at /dev/scdx or does it still point to /dev/hdx?? If still pointing
at /dev/hdx, then you need to change it:
rm /dev/cdrom
ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
or similar.

MySQL is not Oracle, Oracle is not MySQL, Oracle is not COMPATIBLE
with MySQL, and vice-versa. You cannot use pieces of Oracle to access
pieces of MySQL, or vice-versa.

Not knowing what these "servlets" are, or what they do, I'd venture to
guess that you'll need to modify/rewrite them so they can be used
with MySQL.

My (admittedly unresearched theory):
A few years ago someone gave me a CDROM drive (for use in a giveaway
system I was buildng) that worked fine on my (then) RH 4.x box, but
didn't work at all in Windows 95.

After considerably digging, I found that it was conformant with an older
version of the ATAPI standard, and that Win95 wanted at least one dot-rev
higher than it supported.

Is it possible you've encountered a similar situation, where the ATAPI
drivers in the newer kernel no longer support a drive that only provides
an older ATAPI standard capability?

Also, what do you see in "dmesg | less" regarding ide, ATAPI, or CDROM 
when the "bad" drive is in the system?

have you read the documentation in /usr/src/linux*/Documentation/ide.txt?

Hmmm.. I can't REMEMBER which one it is, and I also can't tell from
looking at the errata descriptions (having just spent a half-hour

Are you running RH 7.2 WITHOUT any of the errata/updates issued by
Red Hat?

There was a known "issue" in the original release of 7.2 that caused this
very symptom. You can work around it by (as someone else already suggested)
doing "depmod -ae" as root. Or you can "fix it right" by installing all
the RH72 errata.

I suggest you DO install all the RH72 updates. There are MANY, and they
cover not only this particular bug, but numerous other bugs and (most
importantly) security issues. Several of the early errata for 7.2 also
add important fixes and updates to the printing system which was somewhat
flaky on the original release.

if you have DSL or cable or some form of high speed access getting and
installing all the errata shouldn't be too painful. The easiest way will
be to register with RHN ("configure update agent" on the KDE menus) then
run the "Update Agent" and let it install all packages. Then reboot to
bring up the new kernel. Expect this to take several hours as there is
a large number of errata on that release.

I dunno what TOAD is either, but if it is an Oracle developer's tool,
check out TORA, which is something sorta kinda like "PL-SQL Developer"
for windoze. A really cool tool. Do a search on freshmeat.net to turn

Weird. I'm running my household LAN with nothing but 3C509b-tpo cards,
and they all work without a hitch.

I DID have trouble at work, though, with a 3C509b (not tpo) on RH9,
finally replaced it with a tpo card. Oddly, the same card worked
fine in the same machine with RH62.

What may be easiest is to grab the source for Gkermit and try compiling
it. It is easy to compile on many platforms, and provides a command-
line method for doing kermit file transfers. (you do have a command-line

On all kernels up to RH9 threads are implemented as separate "lightweight"
processes. While this mostly works well enough, it isn't really the way
threads are intended to work, there are apparently some "minor" areas
in which it doesn't do exactly the right thing. (though for the purposes
of a MT program I wrote and maintain at work, it's just fine).

Beginning at RH9, they are using the new threading mechanism that properly
implements threads as all members of a single process.

Therefore, on RH9 MT programs will show in the process table once, and
on prior versions there will be one process per thread plus one additional
process for a "manager thread".

which implies a missing (or incorrectly connected, or defective) audio
cable from the CD drive to the sound card, or incorrectly adjusted mixer,
or a bad CD drive, or a bad sound card, or

You can RIP it because when doing that the signal goes through the 
drive's data cable, but when playing it goes through the audio cable, 
so since one works and the other doesn't, it points to the audio cable,
its connection, the mixer, or the drive's audio circuitry.

BTW, if you plug headphones into the jack on the front of the CD drive
do you get audio?

You don't mount an audio CD, only CDs containing a filesystem.

The "common wisdom" is to use gcc for the link phase too. It is more
likely to know how to link all the right pieces together.

no, sorry, I don't. I was merely referring you to the web site on the
assumption that there may be linux-ized code there. The APU code has
been linuxized and that code is to be found there.

I've not tried that code, and I'm still on RH72, so I probably can't
give details. However, if you post (to, e.g., RH mailing list) some
terse examples (5-10 lines) of code that gives errors, perhaps someone
can offer some useful advice.

> Also, what do you mean by 'his APUE'?

"APUE" is his book "Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment", an
EXCELLENT book, though now getting kinda out of date. Nevertheless, it
gives excellent discussions of many/all aspects of Unix programming, so
that even if some of the programming examples are growing out of date
as Unix changes, it is still a great book.

Mr. stevens is now, sad to say, deceased. However, his web site still
runs (last I noticed) so you may be able to find Linux-compatible
versions of his programs on that site (I haven't looked there for stuff
from the book you have, but I know for his APUE there are updated versions

Yes, I know. I've been updating this system via up2date for a couple
of years. Suddenly 3-5 days go by when even a ten-minute polling

it being unusually busy this week, or what.

I suppose I could shorten the interval, but I'm trying to be a

up2date

2003-04-04 Thread fred smith
I've been trying since Monday to get into up2date and get nothing but
"Demo service currently disabled due to high load." I've even written
a shellscript that retries every 10 minutes. it has been running
continuously since Monday and has yet to get in.

Is it really that busy, or are they just 

trying to get us so frustrated that we'll pay for the service? 


Has anyone been able to connect at all this week?

Oracle 8i and 9i

2003-04-04 Thread fred smith
Hi gang!

Trying to figure out if:
1) Oracle 8i client can be made to run on the new Enterprise
   Server/Workstation family from RH (I know Oracle has certified them
   for 9i), or
2) if a 9i client can be made to run on RH 8 or 9

or, for that matter, if
3) an 8i client can be made to work on 9. just installed 9 on a test
   machine today, client install goes along nicely til it tries to link,
   at which point it fails horribly. So I tried installing all the
   compat*6.2*rpm files off a 7.2 CD and got a bunch of conflicts from
   RPM (sorry, I don't have the list handy) about things already on
   the system conflicting with stuff in the "new" rpm files. 

Anybody tried this yet who can give me a hint or two?

Tks!

There is (used to be??) a tool called "rpm2cpio". After running it
you could then use cpio to extract things from the resulting file.

I've taken a linux termcap/terminfo entry to SCO and installed it there.
Though I must admit I haven't tried scoadmin or sysadmsh using it. Works

There are instructions (in the RH7.1 release notes, among other places)
of some special settings one MUST make in the environment before you
can run the Oracle installer. For RH7.x or later, that is. If you don't
set those the installer starts up and hangs, consuming 99% of the CPU
for as long as you care to let it. Likewise, the netca and related java
packages also won't work without those settings. Perhaps that's the
issue you speak of?

Every Oracle installation package I've seen (admittedly not a huge

If it was linked on (or for) RH52 it's depending on old libraries that
aren't in 7.x or 8.x.  6.2 probably inclues 5.x-compatibility libraries
that you must have installed. You could try taking your 6.2 CDROMs to 
the 7.x machines and installing all the compat-*5.x*.rpm files to see
if that solves the problem.

Problem w/ latest errata on RH62 system

2003-03-20 Thread fred smith
At work I'm still using a RH62 box for development. I'm keeping it up
to date with up2date.

today, late in the afternoon, I installed the latest batch of errata,
a kernel and all the trimmings, a glibc, and one other I can't remember
right now.

Since it was a kernel update I did a shutdown and reboot afterwards.
To my displeasure, it won't boot. It tries to mount /proc and some 
other stuff and at that point it all fails, with errors like "readonly
filesystem". 4-6 such errors. Then drops me to a system maintenance
prompt. I tried running "fsck -fy /dev/hda2" which is root, and it
"fixed" a bunch of things, did a reboot and encountered exactly the
same set of errors again.

So I rebooted and tried to boot the previous kernel. Same thing.

Anybody give me a clue whereh to start here? This is a rather important
box, it needs to be running. Clues appreciated!

If someone said "miles ahead" would you think it meant time? Is not a
mile, as well as a light-year, a measure of distance? Why is one of
them appropriate to use this way but not the other?

No, there's nothing wrong with what the OP said, he means
WAY ahead, not just miles,
but much much much more than miles: light years!

Which makes sense only if the "kessel run" is some kind of benchmark
other than a DISTANCE benchmark, i.e., if they're benchmarking something
whose ultimate goal is to be achieved over some variable distance,
and 12 parsecs is a record-setting distance. But of course, even that
doesn't make much sense, it's just a bit of flotsam/jetsam on the sea
of stupid movie lines.

Some packges are nice and install themselves in your menus, some aren't
and don't. Assuming the things you're installing are RPM files, you 
can find out what things are in the file that will be installed by
doing:

rpm -qlp filename.rpm | less

this will tell you where the files were put, so then you can make some
guesses as to which ones are the program files, etc., find out where
its documentation files were put, and so forth. having done that (and
having read the docs) you can try running it from a commandline in 
a terminal window. once you figure out how to run it you can use the
menu editor (on one of the menus) to add it to the appropriate menu,
or right click on the desk top and add an app launcher for it.

I found that I had to rebuild the cf file from my mc file, as outgoing

Thanks, Stephen!

Unfortunately there is no "font installer"or anything else even vaguely
similar in kde control center|system. Probably explains why I can't find
the tool, it's not there! Further clues sought. This is KDe 2.2.2-1.

Hi gang!

Using RH72 (fully updated), how do I make KDE become aware of a whole
bunch of new True Type fonts I've installed?

I've followed the directions RH gives, and now Mozilla/Phoenix/Galeon/
Opera/OpenOffice, etc. all see the fonts. I can print things using them.
but KDE, konqueror, etc., pretend they do not exist. They do not appear
in the  KDE COntrol Center |look and feel|fonts, or anywhere else I
can find in KDE or Konqueror.

I've seen referneces (in KDE docs) about some font administrator program
but never have they told me the name of this program. I can't find it
anywhere, so I seem to be stuck.

Clues, please?

Tks!

Nvidia's drivers cover all their cards in one driver. I'm using a similar
card here with their drivers, though mine doesn't support dual monitors.

Did you read the documentation that comes with the drivers (also available

I haven't noticed (bothered to look for) stuff on dual tubes.

I wouldn't even attempt to use a SMBprinter from another linux box,
it just seems like way too much trouble. On the workstation, just 
define the server's printer as anotehr "unix/lpd" printer, and 
give the IP address (or hostname) of the server, and the name of the
print queue on the server. Should work without difficulty.

The default vi clone on RH is vim. While I normally use elvis instead,
I believe in vim you can turn off the "syntax highlighting" (which is
what gives you that awful color) by doing:

:se syn=off

from my notoriously flaky memory.

As someone else said, up2date will do it for you, though if you're on a

Michael Fratoni has a set of scripts that can create ISO images for

My MS "WHeel Mouse Opitcal" works nicely on a USB port.

Only trouble I've had is twice while playing "cube" (a first person

In this case it was because of a crash and the resulting FSCK which
apparently munged a lot of files.

I ran "rpm -qa | rpm -v" and found a good-sized list of files listed
as missing. So I captured that list, fed it back into RPM to find out
which packages they were from, piped that list thru "sort | uniq"
then fed it back into RPM to reinstall them.

I think it was defined as the wrong type of mouse. Different kinds
of rodents emit different data streams and that is exactly the symptoms
you get when X (or gpm) is expecting a type different than the one
you got.

perhaps you should make a note of both the gpm settings and the mouse
(pointer) settings in your XF86Config or XF86Config-4 file, so you
can reconfigure appropriately depending on which is in place.

Although letting kudzu do it may work and would then be easier.

having gotten it working again, now look at what /dev/mouse is linked
to (i hypothesize it'll be /dev/psaux), and as suggested above also

Yes, single user works, or logging in via GUI works. But so

No it's not unprotected, it's inside the corporate firewall.

Yes, I know. But this seems to have occurred most likely because fsck went
wild fixing up a munged filesystem.

RH62 can't log in

2003-01-14 Thread fred smith
Guys:

I've got a 6.2 box at work (can't update yet because it's used for
development and customers run the result on 6.2).

today it paniced during shutdown (dunno why either) and after the
massive fsck, some things are, like, broken.

Like, for example, I can't log in on a text console, type in the
username, hit ENTER and it flashes (so briefly it's nearly invisible)
something like "invalid password" and returns to the login prompt.
using ^J or ^M instead of ENTER makes no difference.

Curiously, I CAN log in to the X/GUI login.

I left it running an "rpm -V" to see what files have been trashed.
In the meantime, anybody got a clue?

Thanks!

I've got a pair of VA503+ boards here, which also allow both SIMMS and
DIMMS.  Only once have I attempted to use 72 pin SIMMS in either board,
and that attempt did not meet with success. It MAY be that I needed to
enter the SETUP util and change the RAM timings to be something suitable
for that form of RAM, but somehow I had the idea that the board would
take care of that for me. After a little bit of time fooling with it
I put the PC100 DIMM back in it and gave up. One question, of course,
is how similar is a 503+ to a 502.

Does anything else boot on it? have you tried DOS/Windoze? How
about MEMTEST86 ? (free from www.memtest86.com) Checked the FIC web
site for a FAQ or troubleshooting info?

No, it's "FDISK /MBR".

I once installed 7.1 on a machine with 20 megs. It was tight, but
it worked.

However, you may wish to look up the rule project, they have two
different programs that can be used to install RH on memory-challenged
machines.  I just used one of them to install 7.2 on a laptop with
8Mb of RAM. Can you say "tight fit" ? I still don't have everything
configured, and it's not clear that it will be useful once I do,
given that it will surely swap itself to death, but I thought it 
would be a fun exercise even if it turns out to not be useful.

I refer you to the newsgroup: comp.programming.threads
You can find it at groups.google.com.

Your question is one that is often asked, and the answer tends to 
nearly always be: "If your program depends on creating thousands of
threads, then your program is not properly designed." The experts
there will urge you to re-think your design and use a "thread pool"
where a smaller pool of threads are assigned jobs to do in a
round-robin manner.

Mutt is a great command-line mail tool.

but if I were to try to automate sending mails i think I'd use a 
shellscript wrapper around the standard "mail" program.

I recommend external serial modems as preferable to any internal
modem (as long as you have a serial port to spare). It's not always
easy to tell which internal modems are "real" modems and which are
these "worthless LOSEmodems".

Avoid external USB modems, some apparently work, many apparently don't. I
don't have a clue how to find out which is which short of buying one.

I'm using a MultiTECH external MT5600BA modem. This one is V90, I think
they may have a V92 replacement for it. But this particular model is
an industrial-strength modem, built into a steel housing (no plastic for
this puppy) with a LCD display and pushbuttons for programming it 
directly from the front panel if you wish. I'm using it on a phone
line that caused lots of trouble for my external Diamond 56k modem,
but this one works like a charm on it.

I suggest you find a few good modems you'd find acceptable then check
out EBAY. This particular modem was purchased new on ebay for $40 bucks
(US), instead of the $400 or so in a store. Sealed package with all the
goodies it should have.
