Subject: Installing Java3D on Red Hat Linux 6.0
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 1999 18:16:44 -0400
Hello out there,
I am having some problems installing java 3D on my Red Hat Linux 6.0 OS.
In the README file it says:
"This version of Java 3D for Linux requires the following:
- Recent version of MesaGL, typically available from your Linux
distribution
- Java2 SDK 1.2 for Linux . This can be obtained from
http://java.blackdown.org"
1. I downloaded Mesa-3.0 from www.mesa3d.org. I ran the makefile with
[rlaramee@panama Mesa-3.0]$
and it seemed to compile fine (with a buch of warnings).
However, when i tried to run one of the demos e.g.:
[rlaramee@panama demos]$ bounce
I get the following error:
GLUT: Fatal Error in bounce: visual with necessary capabilities not
found.
Does anyone know what I should do here?
2. When I try to run one of the java3d demos e.g.:
[rlaramee@panama HelloUniverse]$ java HelloUniverse
I get the following error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/j3d/utils/applet/MainFrame
at
[rlaramee@panama HelloUniverse]$
I don't see this directory anywhere on my system. Is there something
I'm missing (obviously)? Is this because java3d expects the root user
to do
the installation? Any help anyone could provide would be much
appreciated.
-cheers, bob

Subject: Kernel xconfig errors
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 1999 17:05:35 -0500
Now that I am just about finished ripping the last of my hair from my
head, it seem like a good idea to ask someone what I am doing wrong.
I am currently using RedHat 6.0 with the 2.2.5-15 kernel installed as a
workstation. I downloaded the 2.2.6 kernel so I could build a new
kernel with IP Masquerade support. I didn't have any problems until I
tried to use the "make" command. Appearently this rpm is not loaded
with the workstation install. After installing the make rpm I am now
able to do a "make config", but not a "make menuconfig" or "make
xconfig". Everytime I run either, I get a list of gcc errors and then I
am dumped back at a prompt. I belive that I just haven't loaded a
something important or I am doing something wrong. I could get by on
the "make config", but I am prone to errors and would like something a
little easier to use.
The following is an error message posted when using "make xconfig":
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/scripts'
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o tkparse.o
tkparse.c
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/scripts'
make[1]: gcc: Command not found
make[1]: *** [tkparse.o] Error 127
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2
I get roughly the same error message with make menuconfig.

Try mount /tmp with noexec option. (seems sensible security precaution,

orainst breaks, but there is no problem - you don't install Oracle every

But mc breaks - it executes external viewers from .mc/ext by creating

So, never never run mc as root if there are another users on machine.

Subject: One must-have program for a newbie
Date: Wed, 8 Sep 1999 17:39:54 -0500
I am a Linux newbie, although I have been tinkering with it for a while.
I think that one software that have saved me a lot of time and agony
is Powerquest's Drive Image. It lets you make a snapshot of the drive, so
that if the system crashes, it is easy to restore from the image file. BTW,
please
don't think that I work for PowerQuest. Just wanted to share a good tip with
everybody.
IMHO, the program is well worth its money ($50?).
Initially, I used to fiddle around with Linux set-up and before I knew I had
a locked-up system and everything was fried when I boot back. Its easy to do
that when you are a newbie and you want to learn about different options.
Now I always
keep an image of my Linux drive ready to go. I have burnt the image file,
split up into
several files, on CDRWs. I keep updating the disks once in a while. So now
when my Linux system goes belly up, I can run Drive Image and restore my
Linux system in
a matter of 7-10 mins. It is really nifty. I have never had any problem with
ext2 file system - although Powerquest scares you about not supporting ext2.
After restoring an image after a system crash, I usually use a boot disk to
log in and run lilo. Everything is back to normal after that.
Only problem is that Drive Image is a Windoze program (actually it runs in
DOS). Wish someday we will have a similar program in Linux (or is there one
already?).

Somehow I think you don't understand. Please read the reply
again, carefully! He is offering you two things, where you asked for
one, telling you that the extra is free. What is the problem? If you
don't want the old compiler, just throw it away. Then you get your
"upgrade". But you don't have to throw the old compiler away. It
doesn't interfere.
So you can do three things:
1) do the standard compile and install of egcs in /usr/local. That
will work fine and replace your old gcc, while still leaving it
accessible. Suse may even have arranged that their own binary
package goes in /usr, and renames the old compiler. I think they have.
2) do the compile and install of egcs in /usr, which will overwrite
your old compiler, rendering it useless.
3) do 1) , then remove the old compiler. Or remove the old compiler,
(heck, assuming you manage to compiel with nothing :-) then do 2).
Or the same, with binary packages.

Subject: Gateway 5150: Touchpad "rocker" -> Button 2?
Date: 08 Sep 1999 16:26:36 -0700
Hi all-
I have a Gateway 5150 running RH5.2.
The laptop has a synaptics touchpad with two regular buttons and a
rocker which in Win is equivalent to a scroll wheel, sitting in between.
Because of the placement of the rocker (between rather than below), it
is difficult to "chord" and produce a button-2 event.
The rocker would be ideally suited, one would think, to emulate
button-2, but I haven't figured out a way to do it.
I checked the "Colas Nahaboo X mouse wheel scroll page",
http://www.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/
but didn't find a solution -- indeed I can't get the ZAxisMapping
solution to work even producing button-4 and 5 events (device imps/2
fails miserably)
Any ideas?
Andrew

You should begin with the command:

to start the shell first
the file should also be called with an cgi extension

Resume time again. I managed to open my .doc file in wordperfect, but
when I clicked on "save as", there were only 5 file formats:
Wordperfect 5.0
Wordperfect 5.1/5.2
Wordperfect 6/7/8
Wordperfect Graphic 1.0
Wordperfect Graphic 2.0
My question is - how do I save my changes in *Word* format? I keep
reading references to "exporting in Word format" but I could not find an
export option.
In other words, reading MS Word in Wordperfect works fine, but how do I
write a Word document? I guess failing that, I could save as Wordperfect
and hope MS Word reads it, but I would hate to email recruiters a
FUBAR'd file.
Thanks.

Perhaps, but I'll stick with the "It's a _s_tring, and it's an
ASCII_Z_ string." There are probably a few words that begin with
'n' too, but I doubt people will argue that that's why i_n_tegers

Subject: Epson Stylus Photo EX driver (undocumented functionality)
Date: 08 Sep 1999 20:14:31 -0400
(apologies for the xpost to opengl; I'm hoping to run into some
experienced graphics folks there.)
I'm currently working on improving the Epson driver in the Gimp print
plugin. The Epson Stylus Photo EX (the printer I have) is a wide
carriage, 6-color printer that is capable (in principle) of 1440x720
output of quite high quality (but not really photo quality).
The current plugin does 4-color output at 720 dpi. My driver uses the
full 6 colors, including using the colors to emulate black at low
intensity levels, to produce much better output. However, some of the
capabilities of the printer (1440 dpi resolution, improved speed in
high quality modes, and possibly finer dots) are not published by
Epson on their developer site
(http://www.ercipd.com/isv/edr_docs.htm), but are only available under
non-disclosure to Epson. This is of course not suitable for a free
source driver.
The author of the plugin cannot help me, as he is under NDA to Epson,
but perhaps there are people out there who either know this one way or
another (legally, e. g. via reverse engineering of the output from a
Windows machine), or would be willing to assist me in this
manner. Also, anyone with experience in color printing who wants to
critique my algorithms is welcome to my current code (which isn't
ready for release).
I intend to return my improvements to the Gimp folks as soon as
possible. Even if I have no luck finding this information, the
improvement in print quality is worthwhile getting back out there as
quickly as I can. Another project I'd like to do is adapt this to
ghostscript and/or CUPS.

Fine, though it's also good to add '-as 2' so that it will automatically
release the lock on /dev/dsp after 2 seconds of silence (which makes it
get along with non-esd aware programs better).

Nope. Just use a version of mpg123 that knows how to talk to esd.
(There is a link to one on the gqmpeg page.)

That will work if you use the proper mpg123.

Ideally, yes. In practice that may not work, which is why I use the '-as
2' option, so that xmame can steal the sound back.

Hi. It seems that RealPlayer 5.0 does not work well under RedHat 5.1.
I installed it and the GUI will pop up and not play anything. I called
tech support and they said it was caused either by having misconfigured
sound or being behind a firewall.
I replied that sound works and the box is not behind a firewall. Also,
if you shift-1 click on the link, then open it inside RealPlayer as a
file, it works just fine. Great sound. But that is a hassle. GUI's
should be (but aren't always) point and click.
They never answered. So it does not work well, but is usable.

I was wondering if anyone had some advice on how to handle mail on a
linux workstation. I am trying to decide between the following:
(1) running a listener at port 25 (sendmail) and forwarding mail from
the local mailserver to my box
(2) running a listener at port 25 .......... and using fetchmail to grab
mail from the mailserver
when I am logged in.
(3) not running sendmail and using a mail client like netscape, balsa,
etc to grab mail off the mailserver (POP).
(4) not running sendmail but use some program to grab mail off the
server and put it in /var/spool/mail
(like pop-perl5, for instance).
I am almost always the only user on the machine and I am online all the
time. I am worried about security (is running sendmail all the time a
good idea in this respect) but also convienence (I would like to be able
to use pine and have a biff-like application notify me if I have mail --
I haven't found one that I like that checks POP accounts). Right now I
am doing a combination of 3 and 4, but had been doing 1 for a long
time. Anyway any advice would be much appreciated.

Two ideas:
1) Did you notice the scrollbar in the list of exportable formats? If
not, look again. It should be there, and it should allow you to select
from many more formats.
2) Did you do a full install, or one of the "lesser" installs? IIRC,
not all of the install methods install all of the filters. You might
want to reinstall with a "full" install, if you didn't to begin with.

I'm curious: what sort of error, if any, did you get when you attempted to
play a file *before* you discovered SHIFT + 1-click? Would it have been
anything like Error# 38...?

Others have offered good advice. I'll add, though, that you really should
try to track down just HOW the cracker got into your system, and take
steps to prevent that from occurring again in the future. Finding the
point of entry for a cracker may not be easy -- maybe not even possible,
in some cases. You should try, though. Whether or not you succeed in
tracking down the point of entry, read a good book or two on network
security so that you have some idea of what you're doing, then tighten the
security on your newly-reinstalled system. Shut down services you're not
using, and put access restrictions on others. DO NOT use the same
passwords on your freshly-installed system, for ANY account, since your
cracker "pal" may have them.
I definitely agree with another comment, too, that you should contact the
network administrators at unm.edu, the domain from which the cracker
obtained the files s/he installed on your system. Chances are the system
involved was itself cracked, though it's possible the cracker was just
plain inept and biology001.unm.edu is the origin point. Either way, the
unm.edu people should know.

I was not successful in getting my sound card recognized in either RH 5.2 or
6.0, until it was necessary to re-load 6.0.
Just for the heck of it, I unchecked "sound" on the list of services to
start on boot-up.
After booting, I ran sndconfig. It correctly detected the sound card, but
failed the sound test. For the manual set-up, I just tabbed through all the
resource settings, (which hadn't changed at all) then did "ok". Both the
wav and MIDI sounds came through.
All of a sudden, the sound device was no longer "busy", module loading
didn't fail, and it works. No error messages at all.
What happened? Did the original setting load the pnp initiation, then the
sound card was already busy when the kernel tried to load the module, or
what?
