Title: Hardware Browser crashes






Firstly sorry for the html formatted message, i'm sending this through OWA on the office email account.

Here is the output when running /usr/bin/hwbrowser at a terminal:

2 questions

2003-01-09 Thread Rigoberto de la Cruz
1. I have downloaded some archives from the list. this
archives are in mbox file format (right?), so the
question is: what program is best to read the file?
less?? if so, then it's a pain to go thru each
message.

2. when I connect to the web thru my modem, i get a
very solw conection. the downloads are way slower
compared to when I'm running linux. is there anyway to
check at what speed I connected? Is it a mozilla
problem? what should I do to check my settings? by the
way, the modem is not a winmodem


thanks in advance,

Rigo

I had the same output too.  Can't quite decipher what it means yet.  
Maybe search for key error 20 and hwbrowser on the web?  Same error 
messages whether root or user.  Can you run hwbrowser outside X?

Re: Lokkit (iptables) and DNS updates

using lokkit you will need to do custom setting and let in access to tcp
port 53 to allow dns to work

 I take iptables down DNS is able to transfer between the primary and
 secondary and any queries that come in from the outside are responded
 to.
  
 I had a similar problem with pop3 mail requests, however adding a line
 to the config with port 110/tcp to it fixed that problem.
  
 Any help with the proper line for DNS in my iptables config is most

Re: Problems running 2.4.20 kernel

2003-01-09 Thread glen
Derek,



 On Wed, Jan 08, 2003 at 07:58:07PM +, glen wrote:
  This makes it boot further but the rc.sysinit script blows up when
  trying to remount the / partition and then everything falls apart.

 That's pretty non-specific.  What actually happens?  Error messages?
 Log output?


There is no log output other than  [failed] - it never gets a chance to
write anything out to logs as nothing is mounted.

I did find that 'mount' was segv'ing.

Anyway I'd read lots of things about enabling stuff in the kernel to let
it see the partition labels - this I had done
however I must be missing something as when I change my fstab to remove
all labels and use devices it boots up fine (which kinda follows with it
not booting at all when trying to use a label in lilo).

So there's obviously something in the redhat kernel that I don't have
either patched or enabled - I've compared the .config files for the two
kernels and so far have not seen what the difference is - must be
something though.

Thanks,

Glen

Most mail clients keep their folders in mbox format, so you should be
able to just stick that file with your other mailboxes and exect the
mail client to see it when it starts up next.

Those that don't usually have an import function that supports mbox
files.

Where do you see the slow downloads?  Is it a throughput issue, where
the bits/s on large downloads are lower under Linux, or are you getting
initial delays when you start?

Hi Guys, 
Had compaq Armada M700. Partitioned for Linux and Windows 98.
Probably gave very little (over 2 GB or les) to the Win98. 
Chunk of the partition went to RH8.0. Unfortunately, Cannot
run excel and MSWord/Powerpoint simultaneously because WIN98
runs out of memory.
The question is can I squueze some of the hard drive out of
my RH partition so that I can re-install Win98 and get more
memory. I have come too far to re-install RH8.0 again. 

Just as a matter of interest... Need windows mostly for presentations
outside my box. Realized that staroffice/openoffice ppt misbehaves when
loaded on windows.
Your imput much appreciated.

I believe you're mixing up memory and hard disk.  Are you getting a
device full error in Windows or are you really out of memory?  If you're
out of memory, your only realistic option is to buy more memory - adding
more disk space won't help you.

Windows dynamically manages the swap file space, so if you are low on
disk space, you are low on swap.

Hi,

Why not make/do the presentations with OpenOffice on RH8? If there are
bugs in OpenOffice/RH8 that keep you from doing this, wait for a couple
more weeks and get the upcoming 1.0.2 release. Perhaps this release will
solve your problems.

 Maybe search for key error 20 and hwbrowser on the web?  Same error 
 messages whether root or user.  Can you run hwbrowser outside X?

Re: Space

2003-01-09 Thread Ekow Oppon


Since I am on 128 which I believe is adequate, I do not believe its RAM.
Its simply cannot run two of the following at the same time 
(MSword/Excel/Winppt). I am tempted to think it is swap. I do not remember
dynamically asignoing swap size in the windows installation.

  I believe you're mixing up memory and hard disk.  Are you getting a
  device full error in Windows or are you really out of memory?  If you're
  out of memory, your only realistic option is to buy more memory - adding
  more disk space won't help you.
 Windows dynamically manages the swap file space, so if you are low on
 disk space, you are low on swap.

Re: Stupid question??

2003-01-09 Thread Robert Styma
Redhat 8 is pretty good about identifying and configuring
monitors during the install process.  Assuming a clean install
(not an upgrade), the install process would show you what monitor
and graphics card it thought it was using.  I would get you have
not done anything useful on that system yet (without a monitor),
you might want to try reloading Linux (re-install not upgrade) and
watch carefully what anaconda thinks of your monitor.

At one point the install process asks if you want a full screen 
login.  In general, you do want this type of login.

DVD DMA

2003-01-09 Thread Anton Piatek
Hi, i am trying to enable dma in Redhat 8 on my dvd drive, so i can
watch dvds. mplayer plays them, except that they are jerky when the dvd
has to keep reading, then pauses between reads. I tried adjusting cache
options for mplayer with no luck, and tried adjusting the speed of the
drive.

does anyone know why 

|# hdparm -d1 /dev/cdrom
|
|/dev/cdrom:
| setting using_dma to 1 (on)
| HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
| using_dma=  0 (off)

fails. the dvd drive is a fairly nice (panasonic?) dvd drive, that plays
dvds admirably in windows (when media player will let it...)

thanks.

Question about wrong characters.

Hi.

I've installed RH8 with a spanish keyboard layout 
and english lenguage.

When I use the terminal in the local comp. the 
spanish characters (ñ, á, é ...) work OK, but when I connect by a ssh connection 
or even using the gvim app.
these characters are bad shown.

What can I do to resolve this problem ? Where is my

VNC+Gnome Desktop

2003-01-09 Thread Jay Shampur


Apologies if this has been asked + answered, but google did not turn up
the answer I am seeking.

My Setup: RH8.0, VNCServer 3.3.x, Gnome Desktop 2 (that shipped with
RH8)

I want to be able to connect to my machine using either the browser or
vncviewer and get the gnome desktop to appear on the remote machine.
This is what my ~/.vnc/xstartup looks like now:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/gnome-session  

This is what it was before I removed some stuff:

#!/bin/sh

[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ]  xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title $VNCDESKTOP Desktop 
#twm 
exec gnome-session  

In both cases I get the blank twm screen and not the Gnome Desktop.

HELP??

Thanks, Jay

add this line to the /etc/modules.conf file:

Double check your DNS settings on the linux box :)

- use ssh with X11 forwarding..

- login back to your linux box from the solaris box to see what the DNS 
name is coming back as.. sometimes I need to specify a FQDN (Fully Qulified 
Domain Name) like xhost +host.sub.domain.com instead of xhost +host ... my 
case has to do with using LDAP, and its property of always returning a FQDN

  I believe you're mixing up memory and hard disk.  Are you getting a

 Windows dynamically manages the swap file space, so if you are low on

Sendmail masquerading

2003-01-09 Thread Christopher Keller
Anyone having strage problems with masquerading under 8.0? 

I can't seem to get it to rewrite mail.foo.com to foo.com on outgoing
email. I've sanity checked it against the RH docs and then double
checked it against my working 7.3 configuration.


  - The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

It should have been rewritten to foo.com which would resolve to a valid
DNS address. I'm stumped.

xterm does not use .Xresources in KDE

2003-01-09 Thread Keith Winston
This is a small issue that is bugging me.  If I open an xterm under KDE,
I get a standard white background with black foreground.  However, I
have these settings in my ~/.Xresources file:

! xterm settings
xterm*foreground:   SteelBlue2
xterm*background:   black
xterm.eightBitInput:true
xterm*multiScroll:  on
xterm*jumpScroll:   on
xterm*font: a14
xterm*ScrollBar:off
xterm*SaveLines:1000
xterm*VisualBell:   true
xterm.eightBitOutput:   true
xterm*CursorColor:  lightblue

If I go into Icewm and open an xterm, I get a black background and
SteelBlue2 foreground.  KDE is not respecting or using my .Xresources
settings.  Does any know why?

Keith

tripwire reports won't print with twprint...

2003-01-09 Thread Kevin . Lisciotti
I've set up and configured tripwire, successfully initialized the database
and now want to view the report file. Below is the excerpt from the RH8
documentation...

The /usr/sbin/twprint command is used to view encrypted Tripwire reports
and databases.
Viewing Tripwire Reports
The twprint -m r command will display the contents of a Tripwire report in
clear text. You
must, however, tell twprint which report file to display.
A twprint command for printing Tripwire reports looks similar to the
following:

/usr/sbin/twprint -m r --twrfile /var/lib/tripwire/report/name.twr

The -m r option in the command directs twprint to decode a Tripwire report.
The --twrfile option directs twprint to use a specific Tripwire report
file.

When I execute the above command line on the twr file, it returns an error
message saying the file is not encrypted and dumps me out to the prompt.
If I try to cat or view the file, it's all encrypted. What am I doing
wrong here? BTW, I can view the database file just fine. Thanks!

The only problem I've run into with JDK 1.3 is the setting of the LANG

As a further optimization, I strongly encourage you to do away (as much as 
possible with your .Xresources file and go with a directory of resource 
files. Then set your XUSERFILESEARCHPATH variable. Also, make your 
/etc/profile set up the XFILESEARCHPATH variable. This is a much better 
system for setting resources. Here are my values:

513  echo $XFILESEARCHPATH 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/%N%C:/usr/share/texmf/xdvi/%N%C
514  echo $XUSERFILESEARCHPATH 
/home/steveo/.app-defaults/%N%C
515  

Note the use of %N%C. The N expands to the classname of the client. The C 
expands to the customization resource. So in *my* .Xresources file I have 
just this:

516  cat .Xresources 
*customization: -color
*StringConversionWarnings: on
517  

and then I explicitly load whatever remaing miscellania I have in my 
.Xdefaults (mine is empty).

This way, you can just add any additional directories to the list as 
needed. Also, if you want to change something just edit the appropriate 
resource file and then just restart the client. Learn to use editres: he's 
your friend.

Also, you are allowed to leave off the leading client name inside a 
resource file of that name. e.g. My ~/.app-defaults/XTerm-color file says

   *background: white
instead of saying
XTerm*background: white

Since I configure sendmail for multiple domains, I don't know how much help
I can offer. Adding a feature like MASQUERADE_AS would cause me all kinds of
grief.

With that in mind...

I did power up a RH-8.0 system and using the stock redhat supplied
sendmail.mc, I simply added the following to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc:

MASQUERADE_AS(`mydomain.com')dnl

Then rebuilt my sendmail.cf file: m4 sendmail.mc sendmail.cf
...and of course restarted sendmail.

Thats it!

When I sent an e-mail from this system, my from address was properly
re-written. Prior to adding the above MASQUERADE_AS feature, my from address
contained the [EMAIL PROTECTED] as you stated above.

BTW: In your .mc file above -- MASQUERADE_AS is duplicated and is entered
incorrectly. The domain name should be enclosed in back-quote/quotes (like
the first entry).

that's my two bits.

 The question is can I squueze some of the hard drive out of
 my RH partition so that I can re-install Win98 and get more
 memory. I have come too far to re-install RH8.0 again. 

It depends on how your partitions are set up.  If your Linux partitions
are at the beginning of the drive, then you might be able to do so using
parted:
http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/

You would have to resize/move the Linux partitions such that there was
more space for the fat32 partition, and then resize that partition into
the new space.

If your Linux partitions follow the fat32 partition, then you probably
can't do it without Partition Magic, which you probably need more space
on your fat32 drive to install.

It should take more than just Windows 98 and MS Office to fill 2 GB.  If
you're out of drive space (and thus, out of swap space) under Windows,
you probably should re-assess how you're using it, and how the
partitioning should be done.  If you have 2 GB of software on there, you
probably want another GB of space, at least.

Interesting.  What is the size of the files?  Did you try running
/usr/sbin/tripwire --check by hand, which should generate a report?  That
should dump some output on the screen and also put the same output in the
twr file for your machine in /var/lib/tripwire.  This would at least check
your installation for you.

You need to tell your terminal emulator (or ssh app) to interpret the

PuTTY, that's under Window-Translations, I think.  

If you're using anything else, I haven't seen instructions cross the

  2. when I connect to the web thru my modem, i get
 a
  very solw conection. the downloads are way slower
  compared to when I'm running linux. is there
 anyway to
  check at what speed I connected? Is it a mozilla
  problem? what should I do to check my settings? by
 the
  way, the modem is not a winmodem

the problem is, that when i try to download a file
(any file) the speed netscape and other programs show
is high enough like 5.1k then goes down to 3.5k. this
doesn#7787; happen when using windows. the speed
stays at about 4.1k and yes it's a big time difference
between the two.

thanks for helping,


Rigo

Re: setting up Java on 8.0

 needs to be configured for Java.

You have to ensure that the environement variables are set. Usually
there is a file java.sh in /etc/profile.d with lines like: 
#java.sh
#  Set java path and home

JAVA_HOME=/opt/java
JDK_HOME=/opt/java

if ! echo $PATH | /bin/grep -q $JAVA_HOME ; then
#   PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/java/bin
PATH=$PATH:/opt/java/bin
fi

export JAVA_HOME JDK_HOME PATH

#end java.sh

And you should check von Classpath variable.

Yep, that's pretty much what I did, except I didn't have to
modify the install script and didn't have to add the /sbin
path to the commands.

Are you logged in as root or su'd to root as su - rather than su?
Simple su doesn't pick up root's path configuration.

I think the line in modules.conf is just to tell the system to
autoload mpi350 when there is a request for eth1.  That was more
of a step to getting it working automatically after boot rather
than a requirement in the initial manual setup stuff.

 Norman,
 
 Excellent!  Let me just make sure I understand how you did it.

  What I found was that Cisco's install script just placed the module in
  the modules directory.  You had to insmod it manually to get past the
  radio not found message from their setup utility.  The module that
  worked was mpi350.o (I think, the T30 isn't here at the moment to
  verify).  Adding it to /etc/modules.conf with an alias to eth1 seemed to
  straighten that problem out.
  I got it to work with no WEP encryption and manual configuration and
  route setup but not yet working automatically on boot with DHCP.  Still
  playing with it.
 
 I'm new to this so I'm going to have to go through this step by step. 
 If you could just review and make sure I've got it.
 
 tar -zxvf Linux-ACU-Driver-v2.0.tar.gz tmp/
 cd tmp
 sh kpiinstall
 
 I had to modify this script so it could access /sbin/ifconfig because I
 kept getting a message that no other eth interfaces existed.  Is there
 another way?
 
 Then ...
 
 /sbin/insmod mpi350 
 emacs /etc/modules.conf
 
 Add the line
 alias eth1 mpi350
 
 Does that seem right?  Does the kpiinstall script place all the modules
 in the modules directory?  I wonder if the ACU works setting it up
 correctly.  
 
 Thanks for your help.

 I gave up trying to get linux to recognize the wheel through my kvm

 connected through the kvms, but not on the linux boxes.  I finally 
 gave up and connected a mouse direct to the linux box.  Scrolls just 
 fine that way.  I've heard that some kvm's work with the wheel... 
 and some don't.

I use an OmniView SE KVN on both win2k and RH8 without problems. The KVN 
requires an external power supply (ac adapter). I have used KVNs that used 
internal power via the KB/Mouse and have had similar difficulties. 
Consequently, I never use anything other than a KVN with external power 
supply.

Abiword and gnumeric were good, but too flaky.  I got tired of them

I had given up a long time ago because I really didn't care enough to
figure it out BUT this thread got me thinking about it.

Turned out that I got it to work finally...I had 2 mice configured in
/etc/X11/XF86Config   Mouse0  DevInputMice. I commented out the latter
throughout and restarted X and it now works. Not important but wanted to
let you know that if you look at it, the answer is quite possibly in
front of you.

I have to second that, we exchange Excel spreadsheets and Word documents
with clients all the time -- but we only use OO.org.  The clients can't
tell that we aren't using M$ products

The only time I've had any problems is when someone sends an Access file
or someone is using WordPerfect and sends us something in that format as
instead of Word.

BTW, www.demandpub.com will print stuff in OO.org format -- just tell
the salesman to ask the I.T. Director if they can handle the format.

Hi,

I have a word doc here which consists mainly of tables within tables,
bullets and other formatting oddities. OO never writes the file out
correctly.

This is the only OO problem I've had with the other MS Office users
though, so I cant say I'm disappointed with OO.

 I had the same problem initially.  By default, Red Hat does not allow
 DMA on for _some_ IDE CD-ROMs and DVDs.  To allow DMA to be turned on,
 add this line to the /etc/modules.conf file:
 
 options ide-cd dma=1 
 
 It fixed my performance problems.
