Manually applying the rejects for the oltr driver is a fairly trivial operation. If you'd like, I can email you a cleaned-up version of the patch which applies to 2.2.12. On Fri, Sep 17, 1999 at 08:34:02PM -0700, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Also, I have a dilemma. My token-ring card (Olicom) will

Re: modprobe problem

You're using kerneld/kmod to load modules automatically, right? Assuming that your system is otherwise working properly, just add "alias char-major-108 off" to /etc/modutils/aliases and then run /sbin/update-modules. On Thu, Sep 23, 1999 at 09:08:02PM -, Pollywog wrote: > I upgraded ppp (potat

Re: ip-up.d

I'd add something like "env >/tmp/some_dummy_filename" to the start of your script, so you can look at the environment it inherits. When I've had this sort of problem it's usually been because some important settings (such as $PATH) weren't automagically set, and need to be explicitly coded into t

Re: cdtool?

Try running a mixer, such as aumix or cam, prior to playing the CD. Some soundcards default to 0% volume. On Sat, Sep 25, 1999 at 11:10:09AM -0700, pplaw wrote: > debs, > > i've installed cdtool (and its dependencies), but i get no sound. i've > tried it on two lapboxes...same outcome. pointing

Re: Kernel options

If it's either a Debian-supplied kernel, or one in which make-kpkg was used to create an installable debfile, you will find it's config-file in /boot/config-VERSION. On Sun, Sep 26, 1999 at 02:02:50PM -0700, Fish Smith wrote: > Please send replies directly to me, as I am not > subscribed to the li

ssh configfile

I'm trying to enable X11 forwarding in ssh, by way of the ~/.ssh/options file. As the file didn't previously exist, I created it with the following contents: -- Host * ForwardX11 yes -- [Note: The "Host *" is just for testing purposes, and will be replaced by the loca

I'm not seeing anything like that here... running potato with kernel 2.2.12, gnome, and AfterStep (development snapshot). The system is quite responsive, in fact. It sounds to me like it's probably either a kernel or window manager issue (depending upon whether programs really stop responding, or

/usr/bin/ldd is one of the dynamic-linker utilities, and is provided by the ldso package. It definately ought to be present... I'd suggesr reinstalling ldso. On Sat, Oct 02, 1999 at 11:18:59PM +0200, Bruno Van de Casteele wrote: > hi, > > while compiling my kernel (and pine, but that's smth else

Re: runq messages

I'm not using smail so I can't check this myself, but you might take a look at /etc/suid.conf. If there's an entry for the file, or the directory containing it, then suidmanager will reset the ownership and permissions during the cron.daily run. On Sun, Oct 03, 1999 at 12:10:06PM +1000, Alan Euge
