Laptops and Linux

2001-07-26 Thread Adam Bell
Anyway: Linux Laptops! Yay! I am currently running Linux on 2 laptops, and I have set up 3 different models. The verdict? You can nearly always get everything to work with some tweaking. The things you need are: 1) DETAILED tech specs...Dell is a good candidate for this, Sharp is the worst

I should also mention that if you have a CDR drive already and it doesn't look like it's supported, try it anyway. I have an unsupported drive, but it's an HP and apparently they're all kind of alike, because it works great and I haven't made a coaster yet either burning at 16x on a lowly pII-233

AeroMail

I'm having a problem with this package which is causing all messages to be From: www-data (the user apache is running as) instead of the user who is logged into the mail app. I feel like this is a really dumb problem, but the docs for this otherwise really nice package are nonexistent.

Well, 2 things: A) Your ~/anything is probably /home/username/anything -- but it depends on how you setup your system. Just log in and type pwd. That's ~/ B) You can just type ~/whatever and it will work. As in "emacs ~/.xsession" --adam b. - Original Message - From: Alex

I don't know if there's a package, but it's a kernel option in 2.4.6. Just compile with scsi support (even if you have no adapter card) and there is a switch for SCSI generic support which needs to be on. It's in the top group of options. Then under IDE/ATA/ATAPI/EVERYTHING AND IT'S MOM

2001-07-21 Thread Adam Bell
So I'm interested in setting up a small LAN, basically. What I would like to do is have one box, running Debian, which has a constant routable IP (via cable or some other sort-of high speed protocol) and a normal domain name. This will act as a mail server, samba server, FTP server, and

Er, I don't know if you want to do what you think you want to do. :) To answer your original question, no you found the only one, but what _really_ matters is where lilo thinks the kernel is. Wherever you put it and your system map (also generated when you compile the kernel) make sure to edit

Undelivered mail...help!

Okay, so I don't know what I've done, but I have like 30 or 40 messages in /var/spool/mail/new which were undeliverable due to a typo in exim.conf. This is now fixed, but exim seems to have given up on delivering them. What do I do? --adam b.

System halt on low power

2001-07-20 Thread Adam Bell
I'll bet there is a very easy answer to this, so here goes. I have a laptop on a LAN which should be on all the time. HOWEVER, our power grid has been known to have trouble, so if the AC should go and the batter gets low, I would like the computer to do an orderly system halt before

The option to allow different text modes also has to be available in your kernel, either compiled in or as a module. Although, someone will have to check me on that last one because I never use kernels out of the box and consequently have never used a module in my life except for an old isapnp

I have the same card. Probably your problem is that it's in plug and play mode, and since it's an ISA card that is suckland for Linux. You need a package called isapnp (apt-get install isapnp), which might already be there. Then you need to dump the output of pnpdump --config into

Okay, I know I must be overlooking something really dumb, but here goes: I would like to have mail delivered to a mailbox file in each user's home directory instead of residing in /var/spool/mail/foo. This is to be the same as another environment my users are coming away from.
