yep, "linux extended" is the old "ext1" format
83 => linux ext2
82 => linux swap

Fine, fine. I've been meaning to move everything to /usr/local anyway. :P
What's the easiest way to remove compiled software (other than sifting
through the executables and mish-mash)? Some things have make uninstall, but
not everything.
Is there a trick?

Well, even with DISPLAY set in .procmailrc it happens. I'm thinking it might

Root or no, if you're now running X from xdm (as I am) then there are security issues with cookies and so on that are non-trivial to get around. Well, I haven't figured out how to other than: rclock is your friend. Sure, it has a kooky setup, and you need to hack the code to stop it from putting the time into the X resource name (gack!), but it has the singuar, huge bennefit of being an X application that can run arbitrary other X applications as indicated by a crontab-like control file. Since procmail itself isn't running as the child of something that _did_ connect properly to the local X server, its children just might not be able to connect at all. -- Andrew -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] Problem with partitioning SCSI drive as ext2
Hey. I am adding an additional SCSI drive to a system. The system currently has two SCSI HDs on its first SCSI bus, and they are formatted into ext2 partitions (and one is the bootable drive w/ the swap space aswell). This all works fine. I am trying to add a third SCSI drive onto the second SCSI bus, and have it use the ext2 filesystem (like the rest do). Drive specs: Seagate Barracudea 9.1 Gbyte Ultra SCSI catalog ST39173W/S. - Purchased 14/4/1998. The drive was previously running inside an SGI O2 (using the IRIX efs file system). I am able to partition this drive as a Linux (type 83 in cfdisk) partition, but not as an Linux Extended (ext2 - type 85 in cfdisk) partition. I want it all in one ext2 partition if possible - the other drives are 34Gb ones divided into ~10Gb partitions. I used cfdisk for the partitioning of these other drives. Is there any reason why this may not be working for me? I have not been able to uncover anything. Do I need to do a low-level format before I will be able to do this? The only reason I want to have it running as an ext2 fs is that otherwise would require a kernel recompile (The machine is a server in an academic department and scheduling the time to swap kernals and test it would be a pain as lots of all day and night type batch jobs are run on the machine).

The shell is interpreting the final semicolon before the find command has a
chance to get to it. Instead, use
find . -maxdepth 1 -name "2*" -exec ./slideshow {} \;
(i.e. escape the semicolon from the shell).

Neuro should not have a default gateway setting as it gets it via dhcp. This of course assumes that dhcpd sends the correct ones (which it appears to because Laptop works). tom.

[SLUG] Problem with bash and find.
I think I am having a brain fade today.
I am trying to get bach to execute a command for each directory in the
current one (they each start with a 2).
Problem is that find is not understanding the -exec, I assume it has
something to do with escaping but no matter what I try it just keeps
failing.
find . -maxdepth 1 -name "2*" -exec ./slideshow {};
find: missing argument to `-exec'
Any ideas what I am missing or how to escape it?

I suspect you have got it in the wrong part of the network startup
script. I have attached the standard startup script that comes with
several distributions. Put it in /etc/rc.d/init.d and then run (as root):
chkconfig smb on
(it lives in /sbin if your path is not finding it).
This should fix your problem.

RE: [SLUG] Beginners Home Network
The reason why there are problems like the 3Com90x-tx to a NE2K is usually due to the 3com card in "auto detect" mode where it should be manually set to half duplex and 10Mbit ethernet. I can't guarentee this is the fault but I've seen these cards play up even on a normal switch and had to be set to manual and all was OK. I think they're trying to detect the network it's on and can't. thanks, George Vieira Network Administrator http://www.citadelcomputer.com.au PGP Fingerprint : 43DC 92AC 1A82 27B2 E97B 52F1 B60F 301A 38A9 A10C PGP KeyID: 0x38A9A10C -Original Message- From: chesty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2000 9:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SLUG] Beginners Home Network On Wed, Oct 11, 2000 at 04:15:11AM +1100, James Wilkinson wrote: > On Tue, 10 Oct 2000, Heracles generated: > > >Depends entirely upon what you want to do.

The way we do it here - assuming you aren't using your samba server as a PDC, in which case I guess you would end up having to do it differently - is to use the: force group = share-level option, then add all your users to that group, and make the share group write/readable...

If you are only networking two machines together then use a crossover cable (~$15 for a 5 metre cable) and two NICs at about $25 each for PCI types. If you want a larger network you will need a hub. Make sure you have enough RAM in the 586 - say 64Mb. Other than that, follow the advice in any of the HOW-TOs that apply and the NAG is a fun read also.

A standard Debian 2.2 install was failing to recognise the card, modprobe'ing the driver failed with an error about specifying a base address and irq.

Depending on your budget and future plans, you may want to look at getting NICs with BNC connectors on them (as well - mostly already have RJ45 holes). Then you can string a bunch of computers together without a hub -- you just have a bunch of BNC T-joins which plug the stem into the network card and a cable (or a terminator) into each end. I used this solution for quite a while until I could afford a hub. Just another option. :) > I'd like to try to document this setup for others further down the line. Good idea!

Play games, 1 machine shares internet access ? etc ? Enough nics for the machines is a good start, if you go to the north rocks markets on a sunday you can pick up cabling, hubs and nic's for a good price. If you only want 10mb nics make sure to get pci ne2000 clones, i've never seen one of these that wasn't a realtek card, and they work really nicely under linux. Of course anything by 3com or intel is probably good as well, but only get PCI network cards(assuming you have spare pci slots in the machines). Some people might quibble about this advice, but trust me, pci network cards get auto detected under windows, and under redhat linux's kudzu hardware detecting tool. ISA cards dont. Also the pci ne2000's are usually < $20. I got an 18 port 10Mb hub at the markets for $50, so have a look around. There all pretty much the same. Cable again, look for a good price, its all pretty much the same. That should get you started. Get all of the cards installed and configured, and try pinging across the network.

More information please. :) What have you got installed? freetype2 seems to be the only available package for woody (from memory, that's what you've got on your desktop). Get it going, and tell me if the speed has picked up any. :) - Jeff -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- http://linux.conf.au/ -- Ye shall be cursed to fall in love so easily, and yet be so cold of heart as never to express it. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] Beginners Home Network
Thanks to George Viera for the offer of advice for a basic home network. Well where do we start? Someone just gave me an old 586 box. So what do I get next? 2 NIC cards, some cables and hub? I'd like to try to document this setup for others further down the line. Richard -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug

Name your machines after events that took place around the time they were purchased - this opens up your namespace immeasurably, especially considering that everyone has different perspectives on current events. Right now, you could call a computer, say... Israel, Olympia, Tatiana (seems we already have a vote for that one...), Election, um... Yeah. Better than 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... - Jeff -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- http://linux.conf.au/ -- Ye shall be cursed to fall in love so easily, and yet be so cold of heart as never to express it. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
