konqueror and kde crash horribly (i.e. won't start)

2002-12-04 Thread Dave
I have a fresh install of RH8, if I try and start konqueror within an
ordinary gnome session then I get several of the KDE application crash
boxes up but no konq.

The machine is a P3 1GHz with 1GB of memory. Adaptec 2940u2w SCSI card
and a pair of 10K RPM disks (18 and 36GB).

The installation media was checked first and passed the md5sum checks, I
have run memtest86 overnight on the machine with no problems.

Can anyone suggest what the problem might be?

I tried a complete re-install last night and the machine still suffers
from exactly the same problem.

I have a second machine (800Mhz P3 with 256MB of RAM and ordinary IDE
drives) which is also running RH8, but with no issues. The installation
isn't identical but they are similar enough to suggest something's up.

You can use modemlights to control the connection. In preferences change
ifup/ifdown commands to /sbin/ifup and /sbin/ifdown, and in advanced tab,
change modem lock file to match serial port you are using.


 I do, in fact, have modemlights running, but I can't seem to get it to 
work properly;  if I try it under deliberate error conditions (e.g, 
modem switched off), it's unrecoverable - it doesn't seem to check 
status as rp3 did.

  Thius may be a config. issue on my part - it certainly runs 
ppp-watch.  I tried it this morning for the first time (completed last 
Net-oriented post-RH8-upgrade tweak) with the start/stop settings 
ifup/downing 'ppp3' which is my default ISP.

  It *did* log in, but never seemed to realise this (ISTR rp3 having 
the same problem a while back - 'twas when run non-root IIRC - a network 
script bug, since fixed).  The button remained 'do you wish to connect?' 
evcen when I wished to /disconnect/.

  These two faults may be related - I wasn't sure what to put in the 
third tab.  I have noticed that even doing 'ifup ppp3' (to choose ISP 
under ppp3), I actually get an I/F named "ppp0", so for that reason I 
left the I/F entry in modemlights "ppp0".  After seeing it not notice 
I'd logged in, I changed it to ppp3, but there wqas no change (does it 
need to be restarted?).

"neat" to set up the modem-connection, and "redhat-control-network" (or

"redhat-control-network". Just make sure that all users can activate the

   Yes, under RH7.3 the network config. app. was root-only.  Certainly a
possibility, only having lost rp3 I not only lose the piece-of-mind

conf. monitor (as they were one & the same).  I don't think the net.

   Does it cope with errors like modem not responding, etc., like rp3

Aureal Semiconductor AU8810 Vortex Digital Audio Processor (rev 03)

2002-12-04 Thread dolle
Hi everyone.

I couldn't find the drivers for this soundcard, and the old drivers
that I have are compiled with the wrong gcc. That's the error:
The module you are trying to load (au8810.o) is compiled with a gcc
version 2 compiler, while the kernel you are running is compiled with
a gcc version 3 compiler. This is known to not work.
Because I don't have the sourcecode I could not recompile them with
the new gcc. My question is: someone has already installed this soundcard 
under RH8, maybe with other drivers?

Thanks for your help

Fw: ESS Maestro 2E Rev 10 MODEM

2002-12-04 Thread cK



 

 

Hi,  I've spent the better part of the day 
yesterday trying to get the modem on my HP Omnibook XE2 which turns out to be a 
ESS MAESTRO Sound Card/Modem Combo Device. ESS 1978 I think was the model.  
Anyways,  I've searched through numerous forums and links and even 
downloaded drivers that were supposed to work (on Redhat 7.3  2.4.18-3 
which was what I have installed), but couldn't get it working.  Anyone else 
have any luck with it? Or any pointers?   
Thanks

I don't have one of these superdrives, but I have several USB mass

Otherwise, you might want to contact the fine folks at the Linux USB

Not really, it just says that it can't activate ppp0 when I've forgotten to 
plug in the phone. That's the only error I've received, but I hardly ever use 
a modem anymore, since I got a 2Mb line into my apartment a month ago.

Re: Database/listing of all Psyche RPMs?

2002-12-04 Thread Dams
Install the "rpmdb-redhat" package :)
It's on one of the 3 installation-needed cds.
This will install a database in /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat
containing all redhat psyche packages.
When some package you want to install complains about some dep you you
may do rpm --redhatprovides  to show if redhat provides this dep
with one psyche package.
You may also make some query like : 
rpm --dbpath /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat -qa 
to list the packages (like you would to rpm -qa to list packages
installed on your system). If you want to be really pervert you may even
do 
rpm --dbpath /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat --justdb -Uvh foo.rpm
to complete the database with some custom dependancies of freshen it
with RH errata (for example).

Enjoy..

Why you should not buy Promise products if you use Linux

2002-12-04 Thread JUSTIN GERRY
Forgive me if I'm pointing out the obvious to some of you users who have
been using Linux for years and have had trouble with hardware. I've only
been a linux user for a couple of years and I am still learning all the
time.


I've been through two weeks of *hell* with a Promise FastTrack 4000.
Its going back to reseller asap. In brief, the attitude of the support
personnel towards Linux is terrible and the product does not appear to
work as designed.

Problems with the controller:
1) Promise only releases ONE driver compiled for ONE specific kernel
(happens to be original 7.3 kernel). Therefore, if RedHat updates their
kernel you are SOL. The driver that they did release is complaining
about depmod errors when booting.

2) Forget about asking for source code to compile your own kernel. My
most recent conversation, the tech was very arrogant, and told me that
they would never under ANY circumstances release their source code to
any Linux user and as he put it "it is our intellectual property"
Wait don't you guys design hardware? Do you really support Linux??

3) Forget about asking them for timely updates, in another conversation
with them I asked them about Redhat 8.0 support. Response said they will
release a driver in late January well it appears that the 8.0 kernel
has been updated several times but I am positive (if history is any
guide) that the only driver coming from Promise will support the
original 8.0 release kernel only.

4) Controller does not work as advertised, especially with a RAID 5
setup, with issues regarding constant array rebuilds and zero tolerance
for any sort of power failure. The last straw for me was when,
mistakenly, the power on my webserver was shut off and it completely
destroyed the array. I've never had a RAID 5 array that was this
sensitive to power failures (wait, isn't that one reason why I set up a
RAID 5 array in the first place???).

I've been using SCSI RAID arrays for almost three years now, different
controllers, different RAID setups and I've never run across such a
poorly supported/designed product. 

To me, the Promise still sees Linux as a toy. This is beyond me
especially when you have larger companies (IBM etc). getting into act. 


I really wish that Promise would decide to either support Linux or not.
Don't walk the line and claim to support it but give a cold shoulder and
a half-hearted response to end users. 

I guess I'm off to try the Adaptec 2400A, looks like the source is
released for that card. 

Then again I probably should have stuck with RedHat's software based
RAID, I've had a server running that for over a year with no problems to
date.

A very confusing dual boot problem.

2002-12-04 Thread Aaron Konstam
I will describe the problem but first a question. We know that the first
sector on the first disk is the MBR is found a boot loader and the
partition table. One assumes that that the OS starts in cylinder 1. What
is stored in the rest of the cylinder 0 other than the MBR?

Now the problem. We install Linux and W2k on a Dell machine. The Linux
runs. Now we boot the W2k. W2k has a disk manager program which allows
you to see what W2k thinks about the structure of the disk, When the
program is run it tells us that the Linux partition is Fat 32. We reboot
the machine and find that the Linux is ruined. In will not boot and the
disk seems to be written over by W2K.

Now we have done this about several 100 times over the years and this has
not happened before. Nor does it happen on other machines.

Can someone suggest where to look for an answer? Can anyone confirm an
impression that w2k keep a separate partition table that it uses, and if
so where is it located?

Re: A very confusing dual boot problem.

There is a quick fix to this.  Flatten your Hard Drive, Install the
windows 2K first, but make sure you leave enough unpartitioned space for
a linux install.  Then once you have installed 2k, pop in the linux
disks, make sure to use GRUB and I can almost promise you that it will
work perfect.

You are comparing hardware raid with software raid here. Promise "raid"
is nothing more than software raid, and in fact we ship an experimental
driver (GPL) for it already.

Red Hat's software raid is indeed better than Promise's software raid...

I saw this behaviour when I did not have the "LOCK" set properly in the

you sure that you have the correct "/var/lock/LCK...ttySX" set and that
the "verify owner" is checked?

Forgive me if I'm pointing out the obvious to some of you users who have
been using Linux for years and have had trouble with hardware. I've only
been a linux user for a couple of years and I am still learning all the

I've been through two weeks of *hell* with a Promise FastTrack 4000.
Its going back to reseller asap. In brief, the attitude of the support
personnel towards Linux is terrible and the product does not appear to
work as designed.


Similar problems with a Promise Ultratrack TX8.
This is an external, 8-slot ATAPI RAID with Ultra
LVD SCSI I/F.


Problems with the controller:
1) Promise only releases ONE driver compiled for ONE specific kernel
 

The I/F is UW SCSI, so no problems (except that
it only supports Ultra LVD).


2) Forget about asking for source code to compile your own kernel. 

Not an issue for me -- SCSI.


3) Forget about asking them for timely updates, in another conversation
with them I asked them about Redhat 8.0 support. Response said they will
release a driver in late January well it appears that the 8.0 kernel
has been updated several times but I am positive (if history is any
guide) that the only driver coming from Promise will support the
original 8.0 release kernel only.


I reported a problem with the TX8 and fast kernels
in June/July.  If I put the TX8 on a 2G or faster XEON
server (RH 7.2 or 7.3 at the time), large copies (e.g.,
ISOs) would cause the internal controller on the TX8
to lock up.  If I rebooted the Linux box, Linux would
not even see the RAID unless I cycled power on the
RAID.  The support person indicated he could duplicate
the problem and a fix would be available soon.
However he left the company and Promise dropped
my support request and info.

In September, I had to re-send all my info and re-open
a support ticket.  They NEVER told me when
a new driver was ready and several subsequent
inquiries went unanswered.  They mentioned an
update in October (firmware), but delivered in late
November (but no mention of the lockup fix).  I
have yet to try the fix.


4) Controller does not work as advertised, especially with a RAID 5
setup, with issues regarding constant array rebuilds and zero tolerance
for any sort of power failure. The last straw for me was when,
mistakenly, the power on my webserver was shut off and it completely
destroyed the array. I've never had a RAID 5 array that was this
sensitive to power failures (wait, isn't that one reason why I set up a
RAID 5 array in the first place???).


When I went on vacation in August, I left the RAID
powered and connected to my dual PII/300 (works
very well on that box).  I accidently had not plugged it
into the UPS. When I came back, the RAID was down
and had dropped one of the drives (not in the RAID
set, not just off-line).  I could not recover and had to
restore the entire 580GB RAID.

I'm not very happy with them at this time and have
yet to try the updated driver.

BTW, I have a 650G rack-mount Promise RAID
and it seems to work well with my dual XEON 2G
server.It has given me NO trouble (yet).

My 2 cents.

Justin, I have a quibble with your statement there. You are
making an improper assumption. It is the kernel Red Hat uses for
their distribution. It is not strictly speaking their kernel. It
is a collaborative effort of the entire Linus Kernel group. And
to be honest they have rather noticed the lack of Promise
support that floats around. There's not much they can do about
it legally. (I suspect this is one of the reasons Linus wants
to have the kernel block all foreign modules such as nvidia
video card drivers and Promise drivers for which source is
never released.)

Sound using AD1980 codec

2002-12-04 Thread Kutka Brian-BKUTKA01

Hello all,
I am new to Linux and recently installed RH 8.0 on a system I built using
the Intel D845PEBT2 motherboard.  For now I would like to use the on-board
sound but have not been able to find much info about configs or drivers for
the Analog Devices AD1980 codec.  Red Hat detects an audio device but I get
no audio output.  Has anyone gotten this configured and working or is it
even possible yet?  Much of what I have found so far has pointed to ALSA but
I can't tell if it will support this audio.  Any help would be greatly

Does a File Drawer for KDE exist ?

I'm using the KDE environment now.  I was using GNOME but after todays
up2date I noticed that KDE was snappier than GNOME so I went back to my
old friend,  KDE.

I liked using the file drawer for apps that I use and didn't want to
clutter my panel.  I clicked on the drawer and apps like an editor, 
services,  dictionary and a couple others we readily accessible.

I'd like a handy spot to put those apps in KDE.

Any ideas?

Re: Why you should not buy Promise products if you use Linux

2002-12-04 Thread JUSTIN GERRY
Perhaps I should clarify. Yes I do realize that the kernel is a
collaborative effort of the Linus Kernel group. And that is what makes
it so damn cool in the first place. A truly open and stable software
platform that has no secrets, no twisted cost driven licensing schemes,
and hence no anti-trust lawsuits. 

At first I thought the idea of not loading drivers because there is no
source available was being a bit harsh to hardware vendors. But now I do
agree 100% with Linus after going through the frustration of having to
deal with this issue.

I believe in another message in this thread you mentioned using

You could set it up to use the automounter (see "man autofs").

With a little tweaking of /etc/auto.master and /etc/auto.misc, you could
have it automount at /misc/camera.

I think what are looking for is called a "Quick Browser".

Right click on an empty spot on the toolbar (kicker) and select Add /
Special Button / Quick Browser.  It points to a directory (I set up one
in my home directory) that has application links.  You can create
application links from Konqueror (right click, Create New / Link to

smb.conf file

2002-12-04 Thread Neil Loffhagen
Hi,

I'm hoping someone can tell me what I'm missing from the following
smb.conf file, or elsewhere, that is stopping a newly installed Redhat 8
server being seen by an NT 4.0 server and Windows 98 clients.  There is
definitely a network connection - I can use smbclient on the redhat
server and access the NT shares.  And there seems to be broadcasting
going on, as when I alter the server string the change is seen on the
Windows clients, but when I then double click on the redhat Server icon
in network neighbourhood I get the error that the network path was not
found.

I can ping by name and IP address both ways, from redhat to windows and
from windows to redhat.

When I do smbclient -L server-name on the redhat server itself it shows
the shares as active, but when I do the same on a Linux client I get
connection refused errors, which I guess means it's some sort of
permission problem.  I've tried adding the users as samba users, with
the same passwords. 

In the midst of all this have been able to get the Redhat server to join
the NT domain, using the smbpasswd -j domain-name -r nt-pdc

If anyone can help to point me in the right direction it would be very,
very much appreciated.  Have been through the smb.conf man pages, but I
must be missing something.  Not sure exactly what though.

Thanks again,

Neil.

Hello psyche-list,

I feel foolish, because I recall seeing a big discussion of this fly
past a few weeks ago. But, since I did not expect to need to do it...

Can anyone provide me with pointers to documentation or web resources
on how to set up my RH 8.0 server so that it will do on-demand modem
dial-up of an ISP, in response to demand not only from tasks running
on the server, but also in response to deman that originates out on
eth0? I've done some searching, and came up with a lot of promising
looking references to "diald", but that does not appear to be on my
system, nor is there an rpm on the install disks that includes "diald"
in its name.

Thanks!

I set up the automounter so when I plug in the camera I can just cd to 
that directory and it automatically mounts.

I make the timeout relatively short so that it unmounts quickly so I can 
then unplug the camera when I'm done downloading pictures.

This is my auto.master entry:

/misc   /etc/auto.misc  --timeout=30

And this is /etc/auto.misc:

camera  -fstype=auto:/dev/sda1

This usually works fine with my Nikon Coolpix 775 but eventually USB 
gets messed up and it won't work until a reboot.  I find that using a 
PCMCIA interface for the Compact Flash card with my laptop works MUCH 
more reliably and much faster.

The automounter configuration is pretty much the same.

Just make sure that your device does come up as /dev/sda1

Now i have to mount it (mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera) by hand. It would
be better if it automounts just like the cdroms does in gnome.

Have a nice day!
The camera is a Fuji finepix s602. It workes fine in Linux :) (well, i
can mount it. Dont know what more i would want to do)

It could be worse. In 1999 when I took my RHCE at RH
in North Carolina, it costed 2900 dollars. So if you
think 700 is bad... think again.  Although the 2900
dollars was worth it just to hang out in their

Re: smb.conf file - Solved :)

2002-12-04 Thread Neil Loffhagen
I know I only recently posted the below message, but thought it good top
post the solution that I stumbled across.  I did another try in the
windows network neighbourhood and got a different message, about "No
service is operating at the destination network endpoint".  Did some
browsing on Technet and found this referred to a port issue.  So looked
at the firewall settings and saw they were set to high.  Put them down
to no firewall and the windows clients could then see the redhat
server.  Probably need to increase the settings and just let through the
port for smb?  Not too sure about that though.  Any other thoughts
appreciated, but at least I can get things going a bit more now.

Thanks again to all who contribute to the list.

You do want to permit the smb ports. I'd EVER so highly recommend
you do so ONLY for your internal network and nothing else. (I
leave the "internal machines" wide open here, which considering
the number and type of people here is no big deal - 2 people
and a dozen "things" on the network each, give or take a half
dozen)

X11 is a network protocol.  You do not EVER need to install an X 
server on any server machine *ever*.  You can run our X based 
configuration utilities just fine from an ssh shell with display 
to a remote X server.

Exactly.  You install the X libraries, clients, config tools on
the server machine.  Then you log into the server via ssh from
your admin box/workstation/whatever which is running an X server, 
and you run the config tools remotely.

Well, technically the Promise FastTrak is nothing more than a 
standard IDE controller, with software RAID built into the BIOS.  
It is not a hardware RAID card.  So, Linux drivers for this card 
are merely software RAID either cloning the BIOS in a Linux 
driver, or actually executing the BIOS code.  In either case, 
tests between the Linux md driver software RAID and the Promise 
FastTrak's firmware RAID consistently show the Linux md driver to 
be superior in performance.

The Promise hardware RAID issues aside, is a really decent IDE
controller IMHO, but the Ultra series of cards are identical
hareware wise and a lot cheaper.  The only difference between the
Ultra and the FastTrak seems to be the card's BIOS I am told.

Hope this info helps.

This is the message I get when trying to create a new printer.

For some reason, my Lexmark Z53 won't print in colour, even though
I've just installed a brand new colour cartridge.

Hence, I decided to delete the printer, reboot the system,
and configure a new printer...

*Naturally*, I cannot find anything in CUPS (such as a command
or tool) with which I might try to "flush" the colour printer
heads...

2 reasons I can think of.

1) Reduce menu clutter.  The menus are widely perceived to be
heavily cluttered with a plethora of applications.  This is very
confusing in particular to new users, who really do not know what
app they want, and just see a huge mishmash of random
applications with funny names.

2) xterm is 'provided' as-is, however it is not 'supported'.  Our 
supported terminal emulators are gnome-term and konsole.  Rather 
than removing *all* unsupported apps, we have tried to find a 
balance between removing some duplication, and still providing 
some alternatives albeit unsupported, just for convenience.  
We've removed things like xterm3d, rxvt, colorxterm, nxterm, etc. 
for example.  xterm itself being a long standing traditional 
legacy app provided by the X window system itself, I've decided 
to keep as I know many people do in fact use it and would much 
rather it be provided unsupported, than removed entirely.

We need to provide a useable desktop that has less clutter than 
prior releases, and part of that is removing some of the 
applications that have similar functionality from the menus. 
Users are always free to add new entries to the menus if they 
prefer, and are encouraged to do so.

Hope this helps to understand.

'An easier way to configure CUPS' is something that is currently under

Re: Virtual PC

2002-12-04 Thread Guy Fraser
I used to use VMware, it is great, but is now fairly expensive.

I have had success installing programs using wine on RH 8.0.

NOTE: There is a trick to make it work.

First thing you have to do is add your logon to group "wine", then log out and 
log back in. You can now access "/usr/share/wine-c", which is what the default 
install of wine believes to be your "C:" drive.

Next put in the software CD and when it is mounted ; cd /mnt/cdrom
Next in the install folder, often the cd's root, run ; wine setup.exe

The software should install under "/usr/share/wine-c/Program Files" by default.

To run the software type :
wine "/usr/share/wine-c/Program Files/{programsfolder}/{program.exe}"

Where {programsfolder} = the folder the program is installed in under
"Program Files" and {program.exe} is the name of the executable program.

Example//
wine "/usr/share/wine-c/Program Files/Claris Corp/FileMaker Pro 4.0/FileMaker 
Pro.exe"
{All supposed to be on one line}

or
wine /usr/share/wine-c/Program\ Files/Claris\ Corp/FileMaker\ Pro\ 
4.0/FileMaker\ Pro.exe
{All supposed to be on one line}

NOTE: Paths and commands with a " " space must have the " " escaped or double 
quotes must be around the path and command.

Psyche seems to be slow on my machine

2002-12-04 Thread Joe D. Trent
Hi,

I have RH 8.0 on my Systemax 1.4 Ghz, 30 Gb, 128 Mb, dual boot with Win
2K (24 Gb Linux, 6 Gb W2K). My apps seem to run quickly on Windows, but
slowly under Linux. The problem seems to be anything gui. Text apps run
under Gnome-terminal whiz along, once the window is open. A long text
search/replace runs quickly. But anything else is slow. OpenOffice takes
a looong time to load. Switching tasks is slow on just about everthing.
When I hit the send/receive button in Evolution 1.2, it may take several
seconds to respond. It doesn't seem to matter much how many programs are
open, one or many. Evolution, OpenOffice, and Netscape get tired and
crash every once in a while. Anything I might try?

Re: A very confusing dual boot problem.

2002-12-04 Thread Norman Nunn
I don't know if it is related but about a year ago I had to replace my
Dell 4100 hard drive.  When that was done, the technician formated the
disk for win2000.  In a previously triple boot setup (dos, win2000, and
Linux) I first installed the win2000, reduce the size and moved it to
allow dos and a boot partition to use the first sectors on the hard
drive.  Then installed dos and last Linux.  It had worked a couple of
time before for me but not with this new disk.  I discovered that Dell
had installed a disk manager when they formatted the disk for win2000
that was not evident nor removable with Fdisk.  I eventually had to
remove it with a Dell provided scrip program, and the install would then
work.  Otherwise, I could only use win2000 even if I had installed Linux
RH.

Don't know if that helps.

I had a similar sounding problem once when I didn't have my hostname set
up properly. X needs to connect to a host (in this case, localhost /
your-hostname) and because I didn't have a localhost entry in
/etc/hosts, it took a long time for anything that needed a new window to
figure out what to do.  So you could check /etc/hosts.

192 Mb RAM is the minimal recommended amount for running a GUI with RH 
8.0

You can try doing things like using a different window manager, killing 
off magicdev, not using any memory intensive properties of the 
window-manager, etc., but ultimately you'll need more memory.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your continue support.

I did try hard to find a solution.  Why on MS IE clicking on a  " .doc" 
file attached to a webmail can start MSWord to read it but not on Linux.  I 
tried, Konqueror, Mozilla and Netscape without a solution.  Clicking on a 
attached ".doc" file to a webmail can't start OpenOffice to read it.

On Netscape I succeeded adgusting the setttings to start OpenOffice on 
clicking the ".doc" file but only an empty page displayed.  It looks to me 
a little bid funny.

Athlon XP - Segmentation fault issues

2002-12-04 Thread Brian Stretch
Ditto what Markku wrote about using Memtest86.  Excellent program. 

But the most likely solution is:  remove the evil Soundblaster Live!
soundcard.  The Live! series is notorious for polluting the PCI bus, which
Intel chipsets are relatively tolerant of but VIA chipsets aren't.  Some
motherboards are more tolerant than others.  My old ASUS A7V KT133 chipset
board was fairly tolerant, until I tried to use my neato new HDTV card;  an
ASUS A7V133 KT133a chipset board I built at work has had no trouble with a
Live! 5.1;  but an Epox 8KHA KT266 board was most definitely unhappy.  (The
KT266 is a brain-damaged chipset in general, quickly replaced by the KT266A.) 
I swore off Creative Labs cards at that point and switched to a Turtle Beach
Santa Cruz, which I highly recommend.

Track an error in init scripts

2002-12-04 Thread Harry Putnam
How to track this recurring error thru the maze of init scripts.

I see these on bootup and they can be reproduced by running a status
check on any service, like:

   service sendmail status
  /etc/init.d/sendmail: line 2: HOSTNAME:sbcglobal.net: command not found
  sendmail (pid 543 533) is running...

The reference is always to line 2 of and init script.  But the entry
isn't found at that location. Apparently it is a sourced file but I
can't figure out which one.

The actual data comes from /etc/sysconfig/network
which shows:

  NETWORKING=yes
  HOSTNAME:sbcglobal.net
  GATEWAY=192.168.0.1

Some how the VARIABLE value is being seen as a command and of course
when attempt is made to execute, it cannot be found.

Some of the sourced files are /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions and
/etc/sysconfig/network 

I was unable to trace the source of the problem in either.

Install a `service'

2002-12-04 Thread Harry Putnam
Pretty sure I recall being able to put an init script in
/etc/rc.d/init.d  and then that script would be seen by such tools as
chkconfig  setup  ntsysv would see it and be be able to setup the
symlink.

That doesn't seem to work for me now.

I've built a cvs source for spamassassin, and installed an init
script -  /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin

  ls -l /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1220 Sep 10 00:22 /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin

This script actually works when called with 
  service spamassassin status/start/restart etc

But isn't seen by the above mentioned tools.

The online manual for 8 has two sections that look promising
  sysv init
  init runlevels

Neither tells how to intall a `service' script so it will be
recognized.

DHCP, DNS and VPN

2002-12-04 Thread ajTreece
I'm running RHv8 on a Fujitsu laptop and connect to my ISP through a 
Linksys router. I have the router set up as a DHCP server which works 
fine. When the laptop acquires it's data from the server it builds the 
necessary /etc/resolv.conf file to deal with DNS through the ISP. All is 
fine so far.

I also utilize Cisco's VPN 3000 software to establish a tunnel into my 
companies WAN. When this connection is established the VPN software (I'm 
assuming) re-writes the /etc/resolv.conf file to valid DNS entries for 
the internal WAN. Still all is fine.

The problem is that when DHCP decides to renew the lease it also over 
writes the /etc/resolv.conf file with the original settings. The VPN 
connection is still active, but DNS is hosed. I've been told that an 
easy fix for this is to not use DHCP and just use static IP's. I don't 
really want to do that because I travel to different company offices and 
 just plugging in the box and booting up with DHCP is so nice.

I have done "zero" configuration for DHCP on the linux box other than 
telling it that I wanted to use DHCP when I installed v8. Is there some 
tricks -or- config settings I can utilize that will eliminate this problem?


Many Thanks, ajTreece (a happy Psyche user)

I've seen that W2K disk manager screw the partition table frequently.
I've reinstalled W2K several times.  I have Grub installed on my /boot
partition, and the W2K install resets the active partition.  Attempting to
use the W2K disk manager to set the active partition back to /boot hoses
the partition table every time.  My solution is to book into Linux rescue
mode after the W2K installation completes and run fdisk to reset the
active partition.  I try to stay as far from the W2K disk manager as I
can.

My script had the requisit headers but apparently the missing
ingrediant was `chkconfig -add NAME'. ... thanks.

Has this always been required?  I thought I remembered in previous

I seem to recall a this come up on this list before.  From memory you
have to do a couple of things.  You have to put a link to
/etc/rc.d/init.d/custom in /etc/rc.d/rcx.d/ (where x is the runlevel you
want the script to be started/stopped) and you have to name it some
special way: (S|K)yy

I just searched the psyche archive and found these two which answer your

I don't recall, to be honest. However, it's been part of the post_install 
scripts for chkconfig managed packages since at least the 7.2 release.
$ rpm -qp --scripts

I have a Canon Power Shot A40 and would like to mount it so that I can
upload pics to it.  I tried the above mount using sda1 and sda2 but
neither worked.  I am thinking about getting a stand alone Photo
Printer and I want to upload pics to the CF memory card so that I can
print the pics using a card reader built into the printer.

While I am on the topic is anyone using a stand alone photo printer and
what do you think about the model you are using?

Oh I forgot to mention (sent other message earlier, same thread)... If you
run the Digital Camera Tool (From the Graphics Menu) it should allow you to
setup the Canon S40 as it is listed as one of the supported cameras.

Re: Login Shells

2002-12-04 Thread Havoc Pennington
On Wed, Dec 04, 2002 at 11:35:33PM -0500, Joshua Melbourne White wrote:

There are different shells (bash, ksh, zsh, tcsh, etc.). All you need
to know here is "use bash" - you have to know bash anyway since lots
of the system is scripted in it, bash is already installed, and bash
is the best one anyhow. (ok, that's going to start an emacs vs. vi
type argument, so I retract - "they are all great and you should try
them and see which one you like" ;-))

There are multiple shells for the same reason there are multiple
window managers, people coded them up and decided they liked one or
the other. bash, zsh, and tcsh are the main ones people use
interactively. ksh mostly seems to exist because it's the standard
shell on some proprietary unixes, and so sometimes people are used to
it or have existing scripts that use it. There's also plain "sh" which
is the original shell, but is basically useless as an interactive
shell.

If you start an instance of any of these shells, the instance can be 
"interactive" or "login"

An interactive shell is one that's connected to a terminal so it
prints a command line prompt and you can type commands by hand.
i.e. you interact with it. A noninteractive shell is normally one
that's running a script.

A login shell is intended to be the first shell that runs when you log
in. All apps that you run post-login are "descendants" of the login
shell. The actual shell program knows that it's a login shell because
of the way the "login" program or gdm/xdm/kdm launches it.  When a
shell finds out that it's a login shell, it does some special things
such as load ~/.bash_profile. So this way you can have scripted
actions that happen only on login, not other times when you run a
shell. Typically you set environment variables in your .bash_profile,
as everything else in the login session will inherit them from the
login shell.

This is a mild oversimplification, because you can force any shell to
think it's the login shell by passing the right command line options
(such as --login) or by telling your X terminal to launch it as a
login shell. But I've never heard of an interesting reason to do this,
really.

Anyhow, aside from stupid shell tricks, any shell that isn't the first
shell run on login is a non-login shell.

Using SMB to connect to AppleShare 6.3 server

2002-12-04 Thread Craig White
Trying to demo linux for a client that has an AppleShare 6.3.x server. 

I can connect to server with Windows client.

I cannot connect to it with samba...

mount -t smbfs -o "username=administrator,password=password"
//SERVER/Share /mnt/mountpoint

After a 30 second effort, it returns "protocol error"

likewise...

smbclient -L //SERVER
or
smbclient -L //ip_address

doesn't work either - it's strange. I tried encrypt passwords = yes and
I tried it with no and it didn't make a difference. The computer
connected to my Windows server at home - no problem and I do this all
the time. The weak link is obviously the way AppleShare 6.3 server
serves SMB connections. Has anyone gotten this type of setup to work?
Workgroup Name is correct.

also - related...

I'm having trouble connecting to either printer in the office...The
first is an HP LaserJet IIISi (very old network card) and a Toshiba
Copier. Both support TCP/IP but I can't use LPR to print to either. I
have tried to connect using LPR to AppleShare 6.3 print server but the
HP just gets the page, flashes a bit and then resets back to ready mode.
Apparently AppleShare 6.3 doesn't make the printers available as an
Windows printer and the NIC on the IIISi apparently doesn't support
HPJetAdmin type connections either - because of it's ancient roots.

If you have networked laserprinters that don't really support true LPR,
is there a way to make them work? 

I'll take suggestions on either topic, I spent an hour and a half on
those problems and I'm stumped.

Craig

Laptop Suspend?

2002-12-04 Thread William H. \"Will\" Du
Hi List.

Does anyone know anything about getting a laptop with psyche to actually
suspend to disk / memory??? I have found that if I attempt to suspend,
everything appears alright. The moment when I reboot, however, the
computer will sit there in space. It will hang on something.

Any help, comments, or suggestions are welcome. Again, thank you in
advance.

RE: Psyche seems to be slow on my machine

Check your /etc/sysconfig/harddisks file and change it to enable HDD DMA.
I'm running a similar system here at the office, (But with 512MB ram) and it
runs very quickly. Having the DMA enabled will decrease the apps load time.

Hope this helps,

Subject: Psyche seems to be slow on my machine


Hi,

I have RH 8.0 on my Systemax 1.4 Ghz, 30 Gb, 128 Mb, dual boot with Win
2K (24 Gb Linux, 6 Gb W2K). My apps seem to run quickly on Windows, but
slowly under Linux. The problem seems to be anything gui. Text apps run
under Gnome-terminal whiz along, once the window is open. A long text
search/replace runs quickly. But anything else is slow. OpenOffice takes
a looong time to load. Switching tasks is slow on just about everthing.
When I hit the send/receive button in Evolution 1.2, it may take several
seconds to respond. It doesn't seem to matter much how many programs are
open, one or many. Evolution, OpenOffice, and Netscape get tired and
crash every once in a while. Anything I might try?

Thanks,

replying to my own post...

duh, I may have just figured it out...funny how when you get away from
the problem, type it up for others and have a moment to think about it,
the answer comes...

I never have used the command but apparently there is a 'max protocol =
' command and I probably have to downgrade from the default of NT1 to
LANMAN1 or so.

Anyway, if anyone has run in to this before, I would love to hear about
it since I don't want to waste too much time since this is only a demo
anyway.

Now the laserprinters have me stumped...
