Re: Single server image distributed clusters still available
Just checking to see if this actually made it to the list.

Issue regarding smb problems
In the past I was able to get smb to work so that I could share windows programs in my system under wine. This was done using the only thing that worked in the past smb4k which I was launching from X11 however what has now happened is that I am getting signal 11 errors and the share is not appearing in my df report for disk usage either :(. I have seen a number of bugs. Is there some way to deal with this or workaround on this one?

Re: Little OT : Software for Active Noise Cancelling or Reduction
I don't know if my input will help in any way but I do remember that there are products rather to *play* white noise or pink noise but that's nothing more than playing an mp3. Supposedly helps you concentrate if we take my flaky ex-coworker at his word at the time. it's an interesting idea but doing dynamic sound calculations for an exact counter to all the acoustics of a room would be something that at best would take longer than the sound conditions of a public area would work. Maybe private. Think about it if you had a private area in which conditions (if you theoretically ran a digital recorder would give you several hours of the same sound with no new ones) are going to remain static then a math intensive analysis of the direct diametric oposite of the wave would work because the work wouldn't expire (ie get new sounds). Public you might get new sounds at least every 10-20 minutes. Let's cheat and say that the math can be crunched out in 15 minutes that would leave you with 'overlap' or 'delay' of 5 minutes where your program wouldn't work. That's at least what I would think. Then again I've been suprised about what gets posted to freshmeat.net these days anyway.

Network concerns and configuration draft 4
Ok so here is the issue I have a desire to run my own linux server as an rt box and to do wiki web serving plus email. I run off of a qwest dsl setup that is feeding 4 computers that are all getting internet in the following configuration dsl non wireless model modem-switch-[a]windows xp home-[b]switch [same model as other linksys switch from [a] --[c] linux--[d] windows xp pro--[e] windows 2000 . I will freely admit the following beforehand. 1. I just installed this network with the intention to share all the computers in the house for dsl 2. My idea of what was a `router` `gateway` `switch` was initially sketchy at best. 3. I checked the intewrnwet beforehand and tried to setup advanced port forwarding with all the ports did initially 80 from the router control system failed to work. 4 it seems that it was working for a while in my internal network under dyndns but it failed when testing on a work web browser. 5. dyndns didn`t work as the machine didn`t route the traffic out of my home even when directly ordered to by the dsl router-machines on the inside could though 6. I am looking for the best option for the money I like cheap and I like something that gives all comps access but allows me my file serving. So I guess the issues I need fixed are 1. historically getting past qwest DSL Router into the network would be required. Not just standard in/out internet traffic. 2. what specific hardware and cheapest ingredients [if any] I need to get past both switches and onto the internet 3. would confusion of switch==router historically be a problem? 4. would getting past the password protection on the router be very hard?

Gdm is evil!
I have spent the past 5 hours bashing my brains out getting gdm to work on my system and it never will! I try to start it and it just displays a blank screen without the window popping up. I tried to do as the README.Debian said and to change the symlinksso that gdm and xdm are isolated in different runlevels. What I did was just to delete S99xdm (the symlink to /etc/init.d/xdm) so that it won't lock the system anymore however it still will not display anything I have installed all of the dependencies however it still hates me! The binary for the login interface program works but does nothing on it's own. I assume this is a problem with pam/config files. I looked at /etc/gdm/Init and say :0 and Default which together has only a single program called xsetroot and some rather cryptic arguments. This appears to be broken or what?

font conversion
Hello and good day. I have a problem that is just a little beyond vexing at the present time. I am trying to convert a specific font (a bdf) into a console. The font file I am attempting to get is one with a 4x6 character set of standard characters. I am using xmbdfed to take copies of the standard characters in the bdf font file and just past the pixel patterns into the new font. However when I try to export the font to something I can use (psf) it just fails. I realize that the program says in the help that some characters when exporting to psf will not work however just importing a standard font (gr8x6.psf) into the program and then saving it as another file produces the same file without flaws. Could someone recommend a fix for this or another good program in debian or elsewhere (even cross platform) that can deal with files of this type and produce the output that I desire. Please reply to me in CC as well as to the list since I get the digested version. http://kernel.freeservers.com *THE* best source for Linux Kernel Info e2compr give your cheap hard drive better use with compression Separate hype from hope on Wall Street.
