I don't have my MQ manuals handy at the moment, but an MQCONN error
generally means that the MQ client couldn't connect to the MQ server
(CONNECT being the first step in the process of message delivery).
Some things to check:
- Is the queue manager really called "venus.queue.manager" ?
IIRC, MQSeries is case sensitive, and "venus.queue.manager"
be a differerent queue manager from "Venus.Queue.Manager"
- Is your TCP/IP network properly configured and active?
- Are security permissions set correctly on both sides?
- Is the MQSeries server active and accepting connections?

Since I want't after X (my poor notebook only has 4MB of RAM), showkey
really looks promising.

Check if you have /var/log/samba directory, and if it (and it's parent

running as. Also check permissions for file *log.nmb* in that directory.

Local master browser is a host which has a list of hosts on subnet
(probably - working ones) and which shares that list with other hosts
on that subnet. Read Samba-HOWTO, there should be more information about
that.

hi,
I wrote a kernel module in which I use printk to display debug/error
message. however if while the module is linked to the kernel I change
the console, (e.g I linked the module from tty3 logged as root, and then
work on tty 1) the messages appears in the wrong place.
Is it possible to replace/modify printk so that message appear only on
tty3? or in a file?
also, is it possible to write at a particular position on the screen,
(i.e. change the cursor position) from a kernel module
thanks in advance for any help

I don't think you can.
I'd love to be shown wrong.
Others who've needed to do this usually have a daemon do the
'connect()' and pass the file descriptor to the driver using an
ioctl() call.

I liked the basis of the technology, if IBM would have built a micro370, and

The PC UART hardware is not capable of receiving this type of
synchronous serial data. The manufacturer of your device probably has
an interface for it. Otherwise you'd need to make your own interface in
hardware. It is possible (if the baud rate is not too fast) to develop
your own interface in software. You would need to develop an
interrupt-driven device driver using the parallel port to handle each
bit as it comes in. It can be done--but it is quite involved!

Is there anyone out there working with the generic scsi driver (my kernel
is 2.2.14-5.0)? The scsi driver howto was a good start, but leaves out a
lot.
My latest revelation is that the "real" scsi driver buffers a lot. I've been
writing to the disk with the generic driver and /dev/sga, and checking
results with "dd </dev/sda" - and actually not checking "results" at all,
but rather what must have been buffered much earlier. :-(
Is there a place where scsi or driver folks hang out?

| Well,it seems you are tring to compile sources designed for libc-5 on a
| libc-6 system .
|
| On a libc-5 system, the kernel headers were integral part of the libc

| files for user level programs.
| To compile that program , you have to replace all #include <linux/*.h >
| and <asm/*.h> by their libc-6 counterparts.
By process of elimination ... I simply deleted includes one by one until
I found the one that was including the conflicts ... which was the first
one ... I determined the conflicting include was <linux/tty.h>. So the
question now stands, what is the appropriate libc-6 counterpart for it?
When I eliminated it, there was one symbol that was not resolved. That
symbol is MAX_NR_CONSOLES. It is defined in linux/tty.h. Grepping all
the include files turns up that there is no include file that defines
this except linux/tty.h so that one has to be included either directly
or indirectly.
Of course I could just insert my own define of MAX_NR_CONSOLES, but my
whole point is that the system of header files is currently _broken_ and
I see no _official_ way to get this symbol defined that works correctly.

Date: 10 Apr 2000 19:51:46 GMT
A few notes on 2.3.99pre3:
I wanted to compile ne2000 support as a module to use the kernel with
several systems, but it doesn't seem to link correctly. Built in the
kernel it seems to find the card okay, but it doesn't work properly,
which it did in 2.3.48. There is a shared memory whine in the log which
*may* be releated, ipcs shows a segment in use, and df shows the shm
mounted okay, so this may not be related.
In PPP BSD compression can only be built as a module. I found the line
in Config.in, and that's deliberate. Bug or limitation?
Perhaps a 'make clean' would be useful in the iptables Makefile, the
source I downloaded came with some dependancy (.d) files which didn't
work, and no better way to identify the problem than to slog through the
code, delete the files, and then build.

Somehow I don't think so, in this case, at least. Note that *I* asked the
"question" what is the difference between VMS and MVS! I'd equally
well have asked the question "what is the difference between york and

Configure.help says:

I believe that the latter is because of patent (or some other

Oops, RH did change something, or the library implementation changed,
I checked a 6.1 machine, and it does say static, but it also reports
the same error message. Obviously you can't get a memory unavailable if
you have a static allocation, perhaps they save the result of the first
dynamic allocation and reuse it. Another case for the source code.
Unfortunately, you really *must* know which it is, since you don't
want to free a static buffer, but if you don't free a dynamic buffer you
leak memory. Not as clear as I might hope, and possibly not the same
with all glibc versions. My 2.0.7 doesn't say static, and I think I
downloaded that.

That's not the case. You have to connect output line to input lines to
transfer data. Did my first laptop install that way, either a late 1.2
or early 2.0 kernel.

Will you settle for something to try? Be sure both ports are set in
standard mode, not EPP or ECP. There might be an issue with recent
drivers wanting to use DMA, or hardware flow control, or FIFO, or
whatever. That I would be lieve might work best with both ends the same.
Keep us posted, please.
