[SLUG] ltsp font problem
Hi all, Few a few deft moves I managed to delete my lts.conf file and the backup (takes talent). I have re-built everything -almost. The fonts in the menus etc look like bar-codes! I assumed this was a font-server problem. I have the font server running on the ltsp server. When I enable USE_XFS in the lst.sconf file the connection fails with a messge that it can't connect to tcp/192.168.0.1:7100. The IP address is right and ps indicates it is running [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ps -ae |grep xfs 1226 ?00:00:00 xfs [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# I haven't changed anything else except the lts.conf file, so there must be a setting in there I am missing, I did not do the inital setup on this system. Any ideas anyone? Simon Bryan IT Manager OLMC Parramatta -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Re: [SLUG] Random System Freezes
I've tried removing the G400 too just incase it was the video card overheating (I replaced it with a PCI S3) but it froze too (rather quickly I might add). I also ran lm-sensors overnight and left it as sticky on my desktop and on the upper layer, so that if it freezes I'll see what temperature it last recorded. It was 0C degrees when it crashed last night. That is really weird. lm-sensors and acpi modules need to be loaded. It doesn't look like you ran sensors-detect? Or you might have an apm motherboard (I don't think they make them any more might be wrong) sensors-detect will check what type of acpi compliant motherboard you are running, also get you to activate some modules at boot by inserting some lines in to /etc/modules or /etc/modules.conf I've had acpid running with the relevant ACPI modules installed for processor, system, etc since last night but it still froze overnight. As I said in a previous email, I'm downloading Knoppix now to try and rule out whether it could be the OS doing it. As you can see, I'm going to all lengths to stop this annoyance :) Best regards, Gonzalo -- Regards, Kevin Saenz Spinaweb I.T consultants Ph: 02 4620 5130 Fax: 02 4625 9243 Mobile: 0418455661 Web: http://www.spinaweb.com.au -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] Random System Freezes
Gonzalo, I used to have that problem. My computer would freeze in Windows when ever playing a 3d game. I found it would freeze spasmodically using Linux. The problem was with my mother board and a buggy ACPI component. Now I have ACPI modules installed and I have not experienced a freeze. Hope that helps. BTW, I have not tried other cards I have a Nvidia GeForce 4. Hi All, I'm experiencing complete (and random) system freezes every day or two. I've not found a pattern yet, it happens at random. System specs as follows: Athlon 1800+ CPU 256MB DDR Matrox G400 Dualhead 2 x HDD 2 x SCSI CDROM 1 x FDD First I thought it was maybe overheating so I installed lm-sensors. It didn't seem to be overheating, so I left it running for a while and the levels continued to look OK. It was then suggested to me that maybe my PSU was either not powerful enough or dodgy. It was only a 200W so I went out and bought a 320W PSU. It looked promising as it didn't crash for *gasp* 4 days! but it froze on me twice last night. Since then, I've been running memtest. 8 hours 46 passes later with no errors, I'm thinking it's not the RAM (the CPU, mobo and RAM are all brand new). My system was fine before I upgraded to a new mobo/CPU. FWIW, the system is running Gentoo kernel 2.4.19, and also when I say system freeze I mean the system just locks up. Can't press CTRL-ALT-F1, can't ping it, etc. As you can imagine it's really annoying so I was hoping someone could shed some light on this. Thanks in advance.

Check out the cups framework for starters. Probably once you get going you'll have questions, but they're not the same ones you have now. KDE provides wizards for most of the setup.

Re: [SLUG] PHP strtotime() function problem
I am trying to use the PHP strtotime() function in this manner
$testdate = strtotime('1969-12-31');
in order to return a UNIX timestamp.
This will return -1 (bogus date) as you said.
My understanding is that UNIX time stamps can be negative to indicate
dates prior to 1 Jan 1970.
Is this assumption correct?
This is correct.
You may refer to (PHP 3 + 4):
http://www.acay.com.au/~oscarp/php/index.html
The problem is that any valid date prior to 1 Jan 1970 causes the function
to fail and return the value -1 and that is taken as a valid timestamp.
When it returns -1, it is to be interpreted as bogus date. Any date prior
will return -1.
What function should I be using to get a timestamp for a date prior to 1
Jan 1970?
What I'll do in my case will be to construct a php function to do the task
when
date is before '1 Jan 1970' using the available date functions. Perhaps, an
associative array.

(stripping the .bz2 off the end) as it doesn't say anything about bunzip2-ing it. unless of course that is just the task it's meant to perform.. ** read in here 1 hour of fuffing ** Anyways, I think I have fixed it (quassi like). Because It was unable to download the latest pkglists (for the reason I am still unsure) I instead manually downloaded them and put them into /var/state/apt/lists and renamed them in the format of the other files .. manually downloaded, un'bzip2 and put it * apt.au.freshrpms.net_redhat_7.3_en_i386_base_pkglist.freshrpms * apt.au.freshrpms.net_redhat_7.3_en_i386_base_pkglist.os * apt.au.freshrpms.net_redhat_7.3_en_i386_base_pkglist.updates these were already there apt.au.freshrpms.net_redhat_7.3_en_i386_base_release apt.au.freshrpms.net_redhat_7.3_en_i386_base_release.freshrpms apt.au.freshrpms.net_redhat_7.3_en_i386_base_release.os apt.au.freshrpms.net_redhat_7.3_en_i386_base_release.updates so then when I did an apt-get update, this time it saw it didn;t need to attempt downloading them, and now I am on the road to fixing the problem at hand (a stuffed install somehow)... weird.. thoughts ?

Those files are on freshrpms, I can see them from here anyway. Is there any possibility that there's some sort of connectivity problem getting in the way? Lastly, I'd ask rpm to verify the installation of apt and see if that reveals anything. If you aren't sure of its origins perhaps you should download a known good copy from freshrpms and install that. Could be that someone installed apt from RPMs for a newer redhat ignoring dependencies or something.
