[techtalk] Direct boot

2000-01-30 Thread Judith Bush



For a kiosk i have built, i have this script in /etc/init.d/ so the
machine goes straight to the user interface upon boot. It's nothing
fancy and certainly could be cleaned up. The essentail line is:

su - kiosk -c startx &

in which root su's to the user and executes the command to start the X 
interface.

Note how to use inet.d in whatever distribution you have, so the script 
runs at boot. In Debian see /etc/init.d/README &
http://localhost/doc/debian-policy/.


Cheers,

judith

I got my RH linux on a CD that came with a magazine, and among the packages on
that CD was xmorph, it used some weird file formats so I never bothered. Try it

[techtalk] have you seen this program?

2000-01-30 Thread Laurel Fan


I'm looking for a program that I saw 2 years ago or so.  It's basically
a utility that can act as a tcp or udp client or server, which is useful
when writing and debugging such programs.  Better than using telnet,
since telnet can't do udp or debug a client.

I saw it running on Solaris, and my guess is that it's free software,
but I'm not sure.  I looked for it on freshmeat and didn't find
anything, but I don't know what to search for except for 'socket' or
'network', and I might have missed something while hitting space 50
times to page through the results.

Speaking of freshmeat, while doing this I've been thinking how it would
be nice if the appindex categories were actually keywords.  Because
sometimes I don't care if something's X11 or Console, I just need
something to do X (but I don't want anything KDE or Web, for example). 
Another thing is programs that fall into multiple categories, such as a
program that has both X and command line modes, or a mail and news
reader.  It shouldn't be terribly hard to do this, since it's all PHP'd
and SQL'd already.  Of course, they'll have to write new code for the
search and stuff.  Too bad freshmeat isn't GPL.  Actually, what I'm
thinking about is sort of like the multiple browse and search views at
happypenguin.org.. hm...

Netcat is similar to telnet, but can listen instead of initiating the connection

Good thought only... if winamp runs on a friend's celeron, why won't it run

It is a valid linux ELF binary. I figured out why it wasn't running but now I don't 
know why the WebPlus server won't stay running. I can start it and then check for it 
with 'ps ax' and top and neither even show it. I try to stop it and it complains it 
isn't running. Ideas?

I'd suggest using PHP (http://www.php.net). It's really easy to start with
and works like a charm here. And least, but not least, it is free (as in
speech).

It works by inserting commands directly into the HTML code, á la:

[...]
This is some html code.
And this:  is something generated dynamically with
PHP.
[...]

Of course, for e-commerce you would do some database queries (and the
like) in the ""-part(s).

you're probably looking for netcat (quite often called 'nc'), which you
can find on freshmeat.  just in case you don't like that, you can also look
for 'netpipe' or 'netpipes'.

and just in case none of those suit your fancy, i liked a little program
called 'sock' which can be found at
ftp://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/pub/local/mj/linux.  i'm not quite sure why i
preferred it over nc, but i did :).

It's simple. It looks like a mixture of C and perl with OO-mechanisms (if
you wish, you can ignore it and go the procedural way). There are a lot of
"already made" stuff (call it "libraries") that can take a great part of
programming from your shoulders.

> I'm trying to help her get this program she wants, running properly.

I'm interested in how this web+ thing should do e-commerce "out of the
box" -- I had the impression that you had to do some database stuff to get
e-commerce stuff going (and that to get this correct was the hard part
rather than coding it in C/perl/PHP/whatever). Could you give details (to
web+) and what makes it so easy?

> At some time future I will try to learn those fun languages but right

I've been experimenting with PHP for just a week now. I've done db access
in C and perl before (and much of it) and this is as easy (perl) or much
easier (C) than those. You need to grok SQL, admitted.

I have used quite a few rpms converted to debs with alien, it works
quite nicely... they get entered into the dpkg database as normal debs
would and I have had few problems with the handful I've installed. 

As long as they are not rpms built exclusively for the way redhat
organizes their software (which is sometimes quite different than the
way debian does), I don't see the problem in using 'alien
whatever-package.rpm'.

Yes there has to be a database backend too. She isn't a coder and I don't have time 
currently to figure that out.

I can understand simple SQL, granted I learned it in a SQLserver class (yes MS) so

Your laptop could be on crack...  A friend of mine found that an old
Pentium-based Dell laptop had a '386 Mode', which if turned on, made it
run very, very, slow.  Somewhat like a 386, in fact.  I'd look to see if
any similar power saving features are enabled...

I tried to find info about mobile celerons on Intel's web site, but the
Javascript confused lynx.  I did find stuff about the Mobile PIII, which
contains "Intel(c) SpeedStep(TM) Technology", which I'm guessing is
marketing-speak for "it can slow down to save power"...

*nod* I've used winamp and some other player that I've since forgotten the
name of under windows.  I may try sonique, but I'm not holding out much
hope now... The problem seems to just be with everything except windows
media player.  It's weird.
