  Asier,
 
 The command you may want is ulimit.  This will limit the size of a
  specific file and since in Linux everything is a file it has affect on
  directories as well. (Although not as fine tuned.)  The man page for
  Ulimite bytes and I haven't found a good ref on how to use it here.
  Basically you enter a size in k so for a 2 meg limit you would do
 
  ulimit 2048
 
  and now you can't create a file larger than 2 megs.  Since I usually use
  things the way they are (unlimited) I do it that way.  Downside.  This
  affects all users on the box.  All file systems etc.  For something
  finer grained I'm not sure.

Hi Folks,

dunno if anyone of you has some experience with this wifi part.
However - I managed to get everything running etc., but I always need to 
manually use lvnet to put the correct settings.

From the /etc/modules.conf file I do see that a Post-Llading script 
/bin/fastvnet.sh is executed after the module for the hardware Driver 
has been loaded - to configure the Device. This script reads in the 
~root/.vnetrc file to extract it's configuration.

Does anyone has such a File, that runs correctly somewhere laying around 
 and would be willing to share it's content with me ?

Thx  Cheers

If I remember the AMD documentation correctly,
it was stated that anything below 70 degrees C is acceptable,
but as far as the core goes it's temperature limit is somewhere
between 90 and 110 degrees C sepending on manufacturing batches ...

Of course running with those temeratures will shorten the life of the

 The AMD docs I read said 90 to 95C internal core is the failure

(thermistor) cpu temps, to approximate the internal core temp.
Something overclockers have long known. So 60C from a probe could be 
as high as 80C core temp. Unless that's under extreme load (ie, 
cpuburn, 100% load), it's too high. If 60C is reported by a 
motherboard reading the cpu's internal diode, then 60C is OK. 

   From a probe the reported temp would need to be at least under 
60, and maybe under 50C, to qualify as 'acceptable'. IME, for 
motherboards which use a probe, +10C is probly OK for temps read 
from a cpu pin. Use +20C if a contact thermistor is used. Most 
newer boards read from a pin. There's a few motherboards in the 
last year, that can read the internal diode AMD began putting in 
their XP cpu's since 6/10/02. On those boards the reported temp is 
the core temp. With either accurate diode, or approximate/adjusted 
probe reporting, you can expect the temps to go up as the cpu ages. 
Say about 5C after around 18 months.

[expert] Draksync...how

2003-07-10 Thread Praedor Atrebates
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Thunderstorms have conspired to wreck my HDD.  I bought a new one and now wish 
to bring my desktop fully current with my laptop.  It is simply unreasonably 
slow to do it via MandrakeUpdate because of my dialup speed and phone usage 
needs so I would like to sync my desktop with my laptop.  My laptop goes to 
work with me and gets to enjoy the speed of an ethernet connection, thus it 
is painless for me to keep it updated.

Last night I tried for perhaps an hour to figure out draksync without success.  
I don't get the passphrase thing, as I can simply ssh or sftp between my two 
systems using just my password.  I did some man page reading and THOUGHT I 
had it licked, trying 'ssh-keygen' but it appears I did not.  I tried to 
create a passphrase, but when that didn't work out, I decided to blow it off 
and do the keygen and forego the passphrase.  This didn't work either.  
Whenever I try to draksync from either my desktop or laptop, I get asked for 
a passphrase but no matter what, entering the passphrase I tried generating 
and trying to send nothing when I decided against a passphrase, I get 
rejected for not having a passphrase.

What are the steps to get a working passphrase that will actually work with 
draksync?  This is new to me as I have usually simply sftp'd between my 
systems and downloaded a bunch of rpms from my laptop to my desktop that I 
downloaded on a given day.  

Any help here would be appreciated.

 Something overclockers have long known. So 60C from a probe could be
 as high as 80C core temp. Unless that's under extreme load (ie,
 cpuburn, 100% load), it's too high. If 60C is reported by a
 motherboard reading the cpu's internal diode, then 60C is OK.

From a probe the reported temp would need to be at least under
 60, and maybe under 50C, to qualify as 'acceptable'. IME, for
 motherboards which use a probe, +10C is probly OK for temps read
 from a cpu pin. Use +20C if a contact thermistor is used. Most
 newer boards read from a pin. There's a few motherboards in the
 last year, that can read the internal diode AMD began putting in
 their XP cpu's since 6/10/02. On those boards the reported temp is
 the core temp. With either accurate diode, or approximate/adjusted
 probe reporting, you can expect the temps to go up as the cpu ages.
 Say about 5C after around 18 months.

Don't know about everyone else, but with my XP2100, when I was running at 50C; 
55C under load, as reported by lmsensors, I had intermittent crashes, 
especially with games. So I think the part about the cpu core actually 
running quite a bit hotter than what is reported is true.

Since I made a few mods and its running at about 38C now, the crashes have 
disappeared. YMMV, as the venerable T. Brinkman says... :-)

 http://www.monkeynoodle.org/statistics for an example. The case fan says
 zero because I'm not using the three-pin motherboard connector right

As you all can see, Jack's idle temp seems to be the low 40's, it was
42C whenever I checked it.  So he is exactly where he is supposed to be
tempwise.  60C is way too high.

Overclockers usually don't like a CPU load temp to go over 60C.  If it's
operating at that or over during load then it's likely that the life of
the CPU is being shortened.

I've got a Vantec Areoflow VA4-C7040 HSF with a substandard heat
compound (got Arctic Silver 3 on order) and even with a crappy heat
grease and high core/IO voltages, the under-load temperature of the CPU
never exceeds 60C.  Remember, that's with overclocking.

A stock system should NEVER exceed or even approach 60C load.  The
target load temp for stock systems is around 50C.  As peace of mind is
pretty cheap these days in the form of better cooling, it's best to
remember that 50C reported from mobo sensors can be worse than 60C from
CPU core diode sensor.

For me, peace of mind is a Vantec Areoflow and Arctic Silver 3 thermal
compound.

   The AMD docs I read said 90 to 95C internal core is the
  failure limit. They also said to add 10 to 20C to reported
  probe (thermistor) cpu temps, to approximate the internal core
  temp.

No, I agree. 230F = 110C is a temp I've never seen in AMD docs. 
Even 203F = 95C seems unbelieveable.  But that is the max temp AMD 
specs for processor failure. I think they mean permanently fried ;) 
IMO, AMD's should be kept under 60C core ( 50C from a probe) at 
extreme load, or you're gonna see heat related problems. Lettin 'em 
run hot causes a gradual degradation of the core.

I only wonder why recently AMD began internal diode temp sensing 
for the core. Something even the first Pentiums have had all along, 
including good motherboard support for it. From what I've read, the 
few recent AMD boards that can read the new AMD diode, don't do it 
very well. I believe that's why Intels are the preferred cpu's for 
servers.

 As for nForce2 lm_sensors / i2c support, it will work as soon as v 2.8.0

 I'm going to pull the files from cvs soon, and see if it's stable enough to

 And when the MDK 9.2 is released I hope to have it all in place...

 Thunderstorms have conspired to wreck my HDD.  I bought a new one and now wish 
 to bring my desktop fully current with my laptop.  It is simply unreasonably 
 slow to do it via MandrakeUpdate because of my dialup speed and phone usage 
 needs so I would like to sync my desktop with my laptop.  My laptop goes to 
 work with me and gets to enjoy the speed of an ethernet connection, thus it 
 is painless for me to keep it updated.
 
 Last night I tried for perhaps an hour to figure out draksync without success.  
 I don't get the passphrase thing, as I can simply ssh or sftp between my two 
 systems using just my password.  I did some man page reading and THOUGHT I 
 had it licked, trying 'ssh-keygen' but it appears I did not.  I tried to 
 create a passphrase, but when that didn't work out, I decided to blow it off 
 and do the keygen and forego the passphrase.  This didn't work either.  
 Whenever I try to draksync from either my desktop or laptop, I get asked for 
 a passphrase but no matter what, entering the passphrase I tried generating 
 and trying to send nothing when I decided against a passphrase, I get 
 rejected for not having a passphrase.
 
 What are the steps to get a working passphrase that will actually work with 
 draksync?  This is new to me as I have usually simply sftp'd between my 
 systems and downloaded a bunch of rpms from my laptop to my desktop that I 
 downloaded on a given day.  
 
 Any help here would be appreciated.

Praedor. 

   Do a search for laptop on Freshmeat.  There are a number of sync
tools specifically designed for this.  I don't think any of them are in
contribs but there is always the source route.  As for syncing my
laptop.   I use gftp.  It skips what's the same and transfers the rest
(I only sync one way... and only data.) So I don't use / need any of
them.  But they are there..

 Vox,

 60C is a little too hot.  That's 140 deg F.  You should be getting
 better temps than that.  You might be shortening the life of your
 CPU.

  Mmmm...depends on several factors...one is the ambient temp...which
  is hot like hell here in Monterrey, specially in places without AC,
  like my house...the real strange thing is that CPU load during
  summer doesn't vary the CPU temp more than a couple of C
  degrees...yesterday, with about 6% of CPU in use (X, Enlightenment,
  2 emacs, xchat, gaim, licq, a few Eterms...normal stuff) it was at
  55C...today, with 95% of CPU in use for the last 8 or 9 hours, the
  temp is 57C...this box has behaved like that since january when I
  got it :)

 The stock fan that comes with the Athlon is not the best deal in the
 world.  The real deal is a Vantec Areoflow VA4-C7040.  That's a
 fantastic piece of engineering, and it doesn't cost an arm and a
 leg.

  I use a Volcano 6, IIRC (I didn't build this thing, a friend did...I
  don't open computers...HW sucks :) And I think it's doing a very
  good job, considering the fact that the room I'm in is at 42C at the
  moment :)


 To see what is happening, download Prime95 (mprime2212.tar.gz) from

 http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm

  I'll check that out, thanks for the suggestion...as I said, HW is
  not my stuff...one of my other geek friends deals with my HW, I deal
  with his SW :)

  Thanks for the bunch of tips...I'll do the SW side checks and I'll

  I was hoping someone could help me with a small script file that will
  recursevly dive through a tree converting text.wpd to text.sxw leaving
  them in the same directory side by side using wpd2sxw

 Brent,

 Given that the WordPerfect document format is binary and proprietary,
 like MS Word's is, I don't think anyone will be writing any simple
 scripts to manage such a covnversion.

 However, the good news is that there are utilities already written to do
 at least part of the job for you. Check out this URL, you might find
 what you are looking for. And maybe someone will be able to write a
 script the automate the use of one of these tools, and be able to do
 what you are looking for.

 Here's the URL:
 http://libwpd.sourceforge.net/

 Enjoy!
I understand, as illustrated in my letter the tool of choice is wpd2sxw it 
works sufficiently for my users needs the only trouble is it only works by 
hand feeding it one file at a time. I was just interested in bennifiting one 
of the script kiddies out there for making a neat little wrapper script that 
would allow a user to feed it say thier home directory and convert all thier 
legacy corel documents into the *.sxw file format while maintaining the 
hierarchy of thier tree.

Somebody scribbled about Re: [expert] cdrw

Having said that, I have some words of wisdom:  Get A Credit Card!

1) A real credit card company will let you file, at least one,
 secondary delivery address.

I was surprised at this development. It's logical, given all the id theft 
and other things going on. I am surprised that my bank wouldn't have any 
provision for a secondary address. Unfortunately, due to unfortunate 
circumstances, loss of income and etc., my credit is pretty bad, so 
getting a 'real' credit card is not doable right now. :(


2) [more importantly] NEVER EVER, and I mean EVER give out debit card
 info on the internet, no matter how much you trust the recipient.  If
 you do, you can find your bank account RAPED for all it's worth.  With

I've had this happen once or maybe twice recently. The one time it 
happened there was a break in to the site and my info was stolen along 
with everyone elses. I was able to get chargebacks and/or cooperation 
from most of the unauthorized transactions, and get a new debit card.

Re: [expert] Kazaa Lite

2003-07-10 Thread Tom McLaughlin
Hey all, I followed Juan's instructions and I no longer get all the
error messages like the 0001869 error in the console that I used to.  I
can run the install program no problem now.  When I try to run `wine
kpp.exe` though I get a dialogue box that says ReadProcessMemory()
failed.  I did some googling and found other references to this error
when running Kazaa Lite on MDK 9.1 but I found no answers.  Has anyone
else had this and do they know how to fix it?  I have tried three
different versions of wine multiple DLL sets.  Thanks.

 I tried wine20030508 update from mandrake but is broken too. This time kazaa

   Hello All,
  
   After playing with Ksensors tonight I'm now wondering what the threshold 
   temperatures for the CPU and Mother board should be.
  
   I have an AMD XP2000+ CPU which is currently running at 60
   degrees C while the Mother Board temperature is 24 degrees C. I
   remember that these temperatures were quite a bit higher during
   Summer.
  
Those are more or less the temps I see here on the same
CPU...since it hasn't let the blue smoke come out, I guess it's
about right :)
  
Vox
 
  Vox,
 
  60C is a little too hot.  That's 140 deg F.  You should be getting
  better temps than that.  You might be shortening the life of your
  CPU.
 
   Mmmm...depends on several factors...one is the ambient temp...which
   is hot like hell here in Monterrey, specially in places without AC,
   like my house...the real strange thing is that CPU load during
   summer doesn't vary the CPU temp more than a couple of C
   degrees...yesterday, with about 6% of CPU in use (X, Enlightenment,
   2 emacs, xchat, gaim, licq, a few Eterms...normal stuff) it was at
   55C...today, with 95% of CPU in use for the last 8 or 9 hours, the
   temp is 57C...this box has behaved like that since january when I
   got it :)
 
  The stock fan that comes with the Athlon is not the best deal in the
  world.  The real deal is a Vantec Areoflow VA4-C7040.  That's a
  fantastic piece of engineering, and it doesn't cost an arm and a
  leg.
 
   I use a Volcano 6, IIRC (I didn't build this thing, a friend did...I
   don't open computers...HW sucks :) And I think it's doing a very
   good job, considering the fact that the room I'm in is at 42C at the
   moment :)
 
 
  To see what is happening, download Prime95 (mprime2212.tar.gz) from
 
  http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm
 
   I'll check that out, thanks for the suggestion...as I said, HW is
   not my stuff...one of my other geek friends deals with my HW, I deal
   with his SW :)
 
   Thanks for the bunch of tips...I'll do the SW side checks and I'll
   pass the HW stuff to my friend...thanks bunches :)

Vox,
  Last ditch if you get worried.  open the side and put a small desk fan
right on it.  From the hardware standpoint.  make sure cables (like
ribbon cables) are clear of the fan.  Also you might consider case fans
in addition to the volcano fan.  (I love volcano myself.)

It's been my experience with numerous AMD cpus that anything over 45c. is 
likely to start causing random misc. problems. I always start feeling 
apprehensive when my temps go above 40c. Why AMD states up to 90c. is beyond 
me. The one time I got above 50c. the system became unusable- random lockups, 
shut-down problems, various hanging with programs, etc. Better cooling fixed 
everything instantly, so it was obviously caused by high temps.
