RE: [SLUG] Dick Smith internal modem: no carrier, notechnical support
OK, I've done some more investigating. The modem is an Intel 536EP which used to be (I think) Conexant. It is a 'Host Assisted Modem' (HaM). I installed the standard Intel drivers: they came on a CD with the hardware. There is a free driver (open source) and a proprietary driver (binary only). I compiled the source and installed both drivers. I've checked all the diagnostic information output under XP and typed the same commands under Redhat, with basically the same results. In particualr, AT+GCI? gives 09 in both cases (i.e. the modem knows it is in Australia). The results from AT+GCI=? were shorter, perhaps because the Linux driver is a later version than the XP driver. I've also taken the commands from the XP modem log and typed them into minicom. Everything is OK until I do ATDT and then under XP I connect and under Redhat I get NO CARRIER I think it's going back at the weekend. Even if there is some way I can get it working in theory, I don't have the time to find out in practice.

[SLUG] Sound question, but not Debian. Linux Anti-virus
Hi All, Took Jeff's advice and considered my current situation ... (ie, two kids under 3 years and self employed = read! when?) and reinstalled redhat 8.0 which I can at least find my way around in. I have Debian on another machine so that I can play around with that and I have found a guy in Wollongong who is willing to teach all that is Debian (when his first Semester Uni exams are over). I have two questions I'd like to post. The first is What Linux Anti-Virus are you using? Second question relates to a weird problem in Redhat 8.0 with sound. It works under gnome but not under KDE? It's the same AC97 card that I was fooling with in Debian. On a final note, I did get sound working under debian, I reinstalled debian, pressed F3 key, used the bf24 image ran sndconfig and listened to some mp3s. I'll keep you posted from time to time on how I go Regards Mick -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Hi Mike, The traditional way is good, especially for learning, and if you want only the stuff you need. However, it can mean recompiling later on when you find that you need some module you didn't think you needed, like for a new card in the box, or when you find you missed something out, or when it doesn't boot ;-) The alternative is to install a precompiled kernel, which comes with lots of modules or compiled-in components. Most stuff comes as modules, and you basically get all the modules. So you save on kernel source space, and since all the modules are there, you often don't have to worry about the kernel too much again, unless you have specialised needs. Clearly there are some choices in building a kernel that are determined by the kind of computer you have, such as the processor type, and whether or not you use SCSI, and of course many other things. Typically binary kernels come in several varieties to account for this variation. It is only practical to distribute a limited number of packages of differently configured binary kernels, before it is better for people to do their own for specialised needs. So in practice you have to reach a compromise and pick a binary kernel that is close enough, e.g a K7 kernel for an average K7 style PC. On Debian, apt is very useful. Debian packages binary kernels as "kernel-image-*" and kernel sources as "kernel-source-*". To search the package cache for packages starting with kernel-image: # apt-cache search ^kernel-image The other reference you might have noticed was to make-kpkg. This is a way of making your own binary kernel debian package from a configured source tree, which is cool. Let me know if this is off the track ...

I'm not sure it's easier, however, it's not harder, and it produces a .deb file at the end. It *is* easier when you need to install the nVidia drivers, because you can compile these against your kernel tree (or against the kernel headers of stock kernels) and install them as .deb files. To compile a kernel the "Debain way", install the kernel-package package and read the files in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package - particularly README.gz - for instructions. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] ISP connection probs
I wrote to this list a little while ago regarding my netcomm roadster II modem. I am still having probs with both linux and WinXP, XP says it is unresponsive though It works through a terminal program and on Linux, strange. Though it dials my ISP (Telstra) on Linux I cannot get a successful connection, my kppp log is below: ATZ OK ATM1L1 OK ATDT019830 CONNECT 26400 ** Dial IP ** Username: Password: Entering PPP Session. IP address is 203.54.167.220 MTU is 1524. But then I get a timeout error with pppd: Apr 3 16:14:41 localhost pppd[14416]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0 Apr 3 16:15:40 localhost pppd[14416]: Terminating on signal 15. Apr 3 16:15:40 localhost pppd[14416]: Exit. Is this a problem on Telstra's end? I had a look at man pppd and found that signal 15 was something about no echo response from peer.

[SLUG] RedHad versions ...
Hi all, I want to run some software that is only certified for RedHat, but would prefer not to use that, so need to find out what RedHat 7.3 (or 8) actually is, like what versions is it using eg. kernel, xfree, glibc ... and what what it's compiled with (gcc-2.95 or gcc-3.?)

You can just look at the nemas of the RPMS/SRPMS for the package for the distrib you want so for RH 8.0 kernel-2.4.18-14.i686.rpm glibc-2.2.93-5.i386.rpm gcc-3.2-7.i386.rpm binutils-2.13.90.0.2-2.i386.rpm XFree86-libs-4.2.0-72.i386.rpm etc, but these packages probably contain bugfixes over and above released versions, I doubt they contain any incompatibilities..

Hi All, Just a point of clarification. I appear to be sending replies off the mark (ie, not to the list). I'm using Ximian as my mail client. To post to the list do I hit reply? Or will this use the private email. As Jeff Waugh pointed out, my RE:'s keep changing, that's because I usually type a a new e-mail to respond, fearing that hitting reply sends the email to the private address. This is only mailing list I use, everyone else I speak to is through forums, which are obviously different.

If you hit the reply button on the toolbar, that will reply privately. Check the Actions menu, and it should have a "Reply to List" entry, that will set the To: address to the mailing list.

"Reply" will reply only to the sender, that is, privately. "Reply to all" or "Group Reply" will send mail to the sender, and anyone they sent the mail to (in this case, normally the sender and the list). Evolution also has a reply to list function, which it *seems* you can access by right clicking on a message. Many people like you to just reply to the list, rather than reply-to-all, because reply-to-all which will send the original sender two copies - your one and the one that went to the list. See "Replying to Email Messages" in http://www.ximian.com/support/manuals/evolution_10/usage-mail-getnsend-send.html Failing all else, you can press "Reply" and change To: field to read "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", rather than what was there already, but reply-to-list should do this. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

This is something that comes up on every list all the time, neither way is truly broken, its like KDE vs GNOME or vi vs emacs, so you should say really, "in my opinion, is not an ideal configuration".

[SLUG] vim to use tabs not spaces
hi all, I want pasting in vim to use tabs not spaces. Everything is fine normally except when I use the mouse to copy and paste from vim in one terminal to another (using "set paste" in the dest term). In this case the tabs in the original file end up being spaces in the destination file. How can I stop this happening? (ie. preserve the tabs) (google turns up plenty of people wanting it the other way, ie. vi to automatically convert tabs to spaces but I like tabs not spaces) Dave. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

The arguments against and for setting replies to go to the list are here: http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html http://www.metasystema.org/essays/reply-to-useful.mhtml You'll find that the vast majority of Linux and Free Software mailing lists do *not* set Reply-To the list - that is, the vast majority are like the SLUG lists. This herd effect is part of the reason I don't like to have the Reply-To set to point to the list - people will have to deal with the group-reply or list-reply solution at some point. Important note: SLUG now uses Mailman 2.1. If you go to http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug and go to the box where you can edit our subscription options, you'll see a "Avoid duplicate copies of messages?". People who really hate receiving two copies when someone replies to them might find this useful. (Yes, procmail users, if you filter on something other than TO_ this still means the mails will go to the wrong place - I do this too, hence I don't use the "Avoid duplicate copies of messages?" feature, but it's still worth pointing out.) -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

If the software interacts with the kernel (e.g.: it includes kernel modules) it may be more complicated that just matching versions; you may need to install the RedHat kernel source code, and build yourself a kernel using it before the modules will load. This is by no means impossible, but it's not exactly trivial either. There may also be problems caused by the differing layouts for directories and so on; again that depends on what the software is, and also how different the distribution of Linux you are using is. - Doug (ob-disclaimer: these are my opinions, not compant opinions, etc etc) -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

I start ipsec - /etc/init.d/ipsec start - everything fine. No proper routing comes up though when I do a 'route' and I can't ping the other side. I've been playing with things like 'ipsec auto --ready' and 'ipsec auto --up ' .. to no avail on either end.
