Re: woody: xterm "clients" (mc, lynx) do not use the xtrem* from Xresources?

2000-08-09 Thread Shaul Karl

I was not explaining myself well. Allow me to try once more:

I have a 14" screen. When I am using Debian's menu system and issue
XShells->Xterm
I am getting an xterm whose width is roughly the width of my screen. I believe 
that this is due to my use of
xterm*Font:   10x20
in my `/.Xresources, which forces the xterm window to be of a certain width.
Until recently, when I used, for example, Apps->System->Top to see the 
processes on the machine I was getting a window which had the size of the 
above xterm. But starting from Yesterday this is not the case. Now top (or 
other text apps) window is much smaller then my xterms. My guess is that for 
some reason the xterm*Font is not used anymore by these apps. How can I fix it 
so that these xterm "clients" will be opened in a window which has the size of 
my xterms?
My window manager is fvwm.

In case you are not familiar with Debian's menu system, it enables one to run 
/usr/bin/top with a few mouse clicks, without the need to open an xterm. That 
is, it automatically opens the xterm and then run top in it.

NeWS was indeed a seperate system - and was written in postscript... sun

Several people said roughly the same thing, and I beg to differ. X11 was
*not* a standard, spec or protocol per se, it was also complete implementation.
It was an implementation with a complete, open and free, specification.

In 1994, when I got at work a Sun workstation with crappy X11R3 & OpenLook,
I took the X11R4 distribution from MIT's ftp site, compiled it (took almost
half a day to compile), and got myself a fully working X server. The
distribution included the X protocol specification, the Xlib specification,
the ICCCM, the Xt Intrinsics, an example Xt widget set (the Athena widgets)
but also a complete implementation of the server (for several systems) and
many client applications (including xterm, the twm ICCCM-compliant
window-manager, and many other basic applications). When MIT's X team was at
it's peak, makers of commercial Unix (like Sun, Digital, Hp, etc.) licensed
MIT's source, and added their own stuff (mainly straightforward porting to
new graphic systems, but also some new features like Sun's NeWS, Display
Postscript, and so on. An additional Xt-based widget set, Motif, was also
created by third parties, and so was (later) the CDE "standard".)

Anyway, as far as I know, X servers for all Unix-flavors are directly based
on MIT's original source code. Not only that, but when the X Consortium
released X11R6 (after several years of X11R5), the XFree86 team worked hard
at reintegrating the new code into their servers. Windows servers like Excede
may be completely new code, but I'm not even sure of that.

The nice thing about the X Window System is that it's wonderful definition
documents (available with any source distribution of X, by the way) outlasted
the original MIT X project and now continues to act as a standard. About
the same thing is happening to Unix. When was the last time any of you used
an AT&T-released Unix? Pretty soon people will start saying that Unix is
just a standard, and Linux is it's implementation...

As I said, Sic transit gloria mundi...

X11R6 is the spec, thre protocols, the APIs.

xfree86 is an xserver project, an implementation of that standard (viva

One is a standard, the other is an implementation of that standard. Like HTTP

Was that your question? Or did you ask what the differences were between what

X.org releases a reference implementation of the X protocol and the
standard X libraries. Their latest release of that code is X11R6.4.
Of course this code is far from being able to run as an X server --
there are no hardware drivers, no OS interface for configuration and
all that stuff; it's just a pile of code implementing a certain
standard. XFree86 takes this reference implementation and turns it
into actually usable software that you can run on your computer.

Not quite...

Sic transit gloria mundi :)


And now for a short history lesson:

"The X Window System", the windowing system we all use on our Linux (and Unix)
machines, was originally designed and written by people at MIT. The first
version they released outside MIT was X10 (X version 10), and that was followed
by the version that would overtake the world, X11. Since then the version "11"
stuck, and newer versions were dubbed "releases". The first X11 release I
worked on (in 1991) was X11R3. Later came X11R4 (with a few major improvements),
X11R5 and X11R6 (with small improvements, as far as I'm concerned), and the
latest release is named X11R6.4patch3.

If you think the convergence of the version numbers is strange (much like
TeX's version 3.14159) you're right. What actually happened is that after
X11R4 MIT stopped working on X11. In the beginning of 1994 the rights of
X11 passed to a new organization "The X Consortium" and by the end of 1996
this organization was disolved and the rights were assigned to "the Open
Software foundation" (which currently also holds the Unix trademark and the
Motif source rights - don't confuse it with the "Free Software Foundation"!).
All these reassignments didn't do X Windows any good, and no major
improvements appeared on X-Windows appeared since 1994 (I'm talking about the
X server, not widget sets or applications, of course).

Anyway, around that time, Unix on PC became popular (first AT&T's various
System V Release 4, and Unixware, and then came Linux) and the X11R5 server was
ported for PC ("86") machines (previously, the most common implementation was
on Sun workstations). This started out as a straightforward port, but it got
more and more complicated: as opposed to Sun machines, for example, that
have a fixed and small number of video cards, PCs use numerous video cards
that need supporting, various kinds of mice, displays, and so on. Special
optimization for PCs were added, binary distributions were created, easy
configuration scripts, and so on. All this makes the "XFree86" project.

Nowadays, the original X Windows project is a zombie, and all new development
seems to be coming from the XFree86 people (correct me if I'm wrong), so
people start to get the impression that "X" is a shortcut of "XFree86". But
it isn't :) In fact, the latest releases also support non-"86" machines, so
the assumption XFree86=X will soon become true. I just hope they add anti-
aliased outline font support soon... Other things sorely missing from X Windows
currently is a sound server and a print server that work as normal X clients
(i.e., the X server should not be touched - the ICCCM should be updated to
support these notions and the work would be done by seperate processes). I
once started designing an X Print Server (not like the rather-useless XPrint
extension), and written a very-simplistic sound server, but, alas, I don't
have time to work on it any more :(

By the way, if you're curious, the latest XFree86 release is 4.0.1. So
XFree86 4.0.1 is based on X11R6... A lot of numbers and confusion :)

X11R6 is revision 6 of X11, the communication protocol.
XFree86 is an implementation of an X server (supporting
the X11R6 protocol) for x86 machines and their videocards.
Having a unified protocol means other clients on different
OSes could connect your XFree86 server and display on it.

Since most of the new IDE controllers doesn't present in the 2.2.x
series "natively" it's possible to download patch for the kernel
that adds support for most of them (VIA,Promise, etc...) from
http://www.linux-ide.org/.

some notes:

* in case you can not get your hdd running with udma under 2.2.x ,
there is a possibility that the IDE controller is not supported fully in
kernel.

In my case, Intel triton II + WD caviar 6.4 gb
did not worked well until I switched to 2.3.41 (it was _long_ time ago)
and enabled Triton and Triton tuning in kernel.

* in case you are after getting the most out of disk, note that
IDE channel is not capable of running 2 devices simultaneously. Thus,
splitting all slow, or high latency devices on one secondary channel is
beneficial.

* hdparm can be used as hdd benchmarking tools with -T and -t switches.
Note, however, that throuput rates reported by hdparm has little in
common with real life performace. Having said that, you can compare
hdparm -Tt results
when you are applying optimisations, just to be sure that controller is
aware of your actions.


* There is Ultra-DMA mini HOWTO.

Re: urgent, can not 'save as' to samba share

2000-08-09 Thread erez

Thanks, but

i had 'locking=yes' for two years now and had no problem, why now?

the man page says: Be  careful about disabling locking either globally
  or in a specific service, as lack  of  locking  may
  result in data corruption. You should never need to
  set this parameter.

  Default:
   locking = yes

are you sure this is the right solutions ?
( and what does 'save as' has to do with locking ? )

thanks
erez.

Turn OFF locking:

  locking (S) 
  If "locking = no", all  lock  and  unlock  requests
  will  appear  to  succeed and all lock queries will
  indicate that the queried lock is clear. 

Read the man page, it can be dangerous.

rpmfind - is there a better solution ?

2000-08-09 Thread Michael Levinger

Hi there. I think that the policy of rpmfind - namely to store all
versions of a software RPM - is becoming unpractical. Say you have about
100 rpms that start with letter g, and about 20 entries for each. You end
up with this huge list (700k pages) that take forever to d/l on a 56k
link. Is there an option, or live with it ?
