[SLUG] Newbie Question: SysLinux, boot failed message
Hi, Forgive my ignorance, I'm sure I'm doing something monumentally stupid, but here's my little tale of woe Put 500Mb IDE Drive in a Win98 Machine as a Slave on second IDE Controller Installed RH 7.1 to this Drive, installation went smoothly Chose to install LILO to First Sector of 500Mb Drive Got LILO Installation Error saying '/dev/hdc1 is not the first drive' (or something to that effect) Machine booted straight into Win98 on reboot, fair enough Tested Booting to Linux from Boot Diskette, no problems Put 500Mb Drive back into trusty 486 Modified 'syslinux.cfg' to boot from /dev/hda1 Reboot SysLinux 1.52 Loading initrd.img ... Boot Failed, please change disk an press any key I've tried creating other boot diskettes using boot.img and bootnet.img but I get the same error on either machine. It's been a long day, and this is my first experience with Linux Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Ciaran. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] via82cxxx_audio driver problem in 2.4.x
Hi All, Has anyone come across the problem with the via82cxxx_audio driver in the 2.4 series of the Linux kernels, where the sample rate is fixed to 48KHz? This problem was not apparent in the 2.2 series. Also, is there an IRC channel for Slug?

Who regards their wife as their boss and can't get them to try Open Office? Who wants their company to move to Linux-oriented hosting because Nimda kicked their server's ass? Who has to keep using ASP or Cold Fusion when there are better, faster, more secure, and more scalable alternatives? Who isn't allowed to use a Linux workstation at work?

Re: [SLUG] via82cxxx_audio driver problem in 2.4.x
Thanx for the info Greg. AFAIK, the 48KHz is a hardware limitation and the rest was done in software. The sad thing is that there is very little about it on Google and I think the issue has been resolved as far as the kernel goes. Hmmm. Ponders the thought of going to alsa... I think this will be one of the things to fix with Linux that I will get around to doing when I have the time and experience, like getting the Kodak EZ200 to work with USB. Regards, de Zwart.

[SLUG] find mv
Morning Sluggers
I am having trouble with something simple which I am sure is easy. I just
want to rename all the files in a directory from say their existing name to
p-existingname. e.g. mv p1.fmt pp1.fmt but for all the files in a
directory.
mv wont do it so I thought use find with -exec. However, {} in -exec gives
a full path name whichis fine for say adding .old to the end of the file
names but not manipulating the beginning.
I am sure my brain has just switched off but I couldn't solve it. Any
suggestions gratefully received.

RE: [SLUG] Network not coming up
If I boot the machine normally it gets stuck at starting eth0 and will not
move unless I go Alt-Crtl-Del.
If I change the network card it (kudzu) will detect the new network card and
will ask to migrate the network setting. I say yes. But it still gets stuck
at starting eth0 and will not move unless I go Alt-Crtl-Del.
If I start interactively and skip the network scripts it will boot to the
login prompt and I can log in (without network of course). When I then run:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network probe
It tells me:
reload
if I then run:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network probe
it will get stuck at starting eth0 and will not move unless I press Crtl-C.
I have since also re-installed the initscripts RPM. Same result.
I am starting to think hardware, but why would it work under W2K? All 3
network cards.

I just want to rename all the files in a directory from say their existing name to p-existingname. e.g. mv p1.fmt pp1.fmt but for all the files in a directory. Try the 'rename' command, which will hopefully come bundled with your distribution. (I think it comes standard with Perl 5.5 upward or something.) For your example: rename 's/p/pp/' *.fmt If you're not familiar with Perl's regular expressions, basically what you need to do with rename is use 's/old_text/new_text' as the first argument to the command. rename will replace only the first occurance of that text in the filename, so if you have a file called 'p1p.fmt', it'll get renamed to 'pp1p.fmt', and not 'pp1pp.fmt'. One of the most common uses you'll see rename being used for is rename 'tr/A-Z/a-z/' * which transliterates (tr) all upper case characters (A-Z) to lowercase characters (a-z). If you have a whole bunch of files you want to rename, post them to the slug list and I'm sure many regex gurus can help you out :). -- #ozone/algorithm [EMAIL PROTECTED] - trust.in.love.to.save -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

As always, North Rocks computer market. Not sure when they stop for the
year, though. Early December sometime, I think. You won't get the latest
and greatest stuff there, though. It's usually a genertion behind - older
stock that's being cleared out for cheap. Still a good deal, though.
Those travelling computer fares can give some shit hot prices too - last
one I attended seemed to average about 15% lower than retail. They tend to
have more recent stock - but I don't know if they come to Sydney anymore.
