Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1999 02:50:56 +0000
Has anyone seen an app around to monitor stats such as CPU temp for
Linux. I made a quick and dirty app to read the following for my system
and was wondering if there was anything like it out there. If not, I
would be happy to make it available to everyone. Don't know if too many
people are interested, but I have an overclocked PentiumII Celeron 300A
running at 450MHZ and I'm always curious as to how my system is
running. Who needs an OS that can run for over a year without rebooting
if you are always rebooting to look at the stats in the BIOS? Here's a
list of the things the app should report:
CPU temp
Motherboard temp
Powersuplly temp
All power supply voltages
CPU fan speed
There are a few apps like this for Windoze, but haven't seen any for
Linux yet. I was going to write a small device driver so any user app
could get the stats. I plan on writing a GUI in with the gtk.
Don't want to waste my time if it's been done.
TIA,
Nathan

Can't help you with the zip-drive, but if your drivers are on the same drive
as your linux is, then copying them over is no big deal... Just mount the
windows '98 partition, and you'll be able to access all files on that
partition... /Check man mount for details, if you are unsure about mounting)

Hi,
I'm a new user user to Linux and I have just installed Red Hat 5.2.
I use a 17"" monitor with an old(?) MGA Matrox Mystique video card with 4Mo
video ram.
The largest resolution I can set with XConfiguator is 1024x768. Under W98, I
use the 1152x864 resolution.
So whenever I switch from one to another, I have to modify the monitor
settings.
Please, can anyone tell me how to get my Matrox mystique Card to work at
1152x864.
Many thanks

Why wait for redhat. Just get the xwindows stuff from ftp.xfree86.org.
Its about 2 months old now.

Yes it does. Case in point: in German, all nouns are capitalized, and
lots of people consider that this helps readers to recognize nouns
more easily. I seriously doubt, however, that German can be read
faster than any other language. Did it ever even occur to you that
you're missing something by nouns (except proper nouns) being
lowercase?
This goes to show that we find easy what we're used to.

in fact, it may only imply that i can in principle type faster than

If that card is somewhat similar to the Rage IIc, it's the same there. when i
put 4mb in the config file (which is the amount of mem the card has) i get
duplicated stuff in 16 and 32bpp... when i change the entry to 2048 it works
fine in 16bpp, of course not 32bpp (not enough mem for 1024x768)

is this an internal ATAPI zip drive? then follow these steps (and hope that you
have support for ATAP floppy in your kernel: SuSE and RH have)
$ mkdir /mnt/zip # so
you have a directory to mount it on
$ mount -t vfat /dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip # the type of your
zip floppy will probably be vfat (win95)
# the only thing you should figure out is where your zip is eg /dev/hdd4,
/dev/hdb4, /dev/hdc4
if the mount fails you should try the other possible devices, but it's always
the 4th partition
after that you can simply cd to the mounted directory and do your thing
mounting your windows is the same proces... you should now where your windows
partition is eg /dev/hda1 (probably)
$ mkdir /mnt/dos
$ mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/dos
anyway check out "man mount" and read something about /etc/fstab for automic
mounting of your dos thing
when done with your zip you will notice that you can't eject it, that's because
it is still mounted, do the following:
$ cd / #
go away from the drive, don't use it by sitting there
$ umount /mnt/zip # notice
that it's umount not unmount
hope this helps....

Yes, but there's a socket8 overdrive processor for the PPro which runs
at 333MHz. I'm not sure what it'd really qualify as -- probably Xeon,
as I think the overdrive's L2 cache is running at base clockspeed.

I bought a so called "windows only" printer, the HP Deskjet 710C, and I want
to use it on my LAN through SAMBA. Having SAMBA installed, having created a
Printershare (the share is visible through my network environment box), the
windows machines can't communicate with the printer. Even a raw ascii page
through lpr doesn't work......
Does anyone have experience with this?

No lets not send him there, they have enough obnoxius bozos who don't know
how to do their job. They don't need any more. How about assigning him the
army's Iraqi leader removal team. They can't succeed anyway, we might was
well use them to eliminate another problem. ;-)

Subject: Rh 5.2 and SB AWE 32 PnP freezing
Date: Fri, 22 Jan 1999 17:56:18 +0100
Hi, I have a problem,
I installed RH 5.2 on my system (for the 100th time now) and I've been
trying to get my SB AWE 32 PnP to work... I used sndconfig, and it seemed to
detect it right. It played the sample and closed with no error message. Then
I go start X and I'm perfectly able to play Audio Cd's... When I boot
though, there's two error messages:
- First it's the sfxload that can't be found (although it's
there, I checked it)
- Second, the awe_wave.o isn't able to be loaded it says that
the resource
or device is busy...
That wouldn't bother me, unless I had following problem: Whenever I try to
play an mp3 file, the computer freezes. It didn't do that under Rh 5.1.
Please help me. I also tried to connect to the
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/sound/. directory, but that seems to have been
removed. Please help me.
thanx
Al
