True. Including having to run Word Perfect (in one case I know) or
Lotus 123 (in another) in order to do simple operations like copy or
delete a file, because that's the only way they knew how to do it.

Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 11:57:52 GMT
I bought the useless darn thing at the local shop owner's
recomendation - he's usually pretty good, but a complete Windoze head
and as such completely oblivious to concerns like "Does it work in
Linux?"
The problem is, I believe it to be the soundcard equivalent of the
WinModems - dependant upon features of the Windoze OS to work!
Please folks - I'm begging for someone to tell me that I'm wrong?
I mean, the thing even needs a TSR program to work under DOS, so it's
doubtfull to me if it'll work, but if it don't, that's �70 down the
swanney.

Have you used the pppsetup command as root? It should take you through

You might try Slackware's removepkg utility (which you may have to
install if you're not using slackware). First, you'll need a
directory /var/adm/packages, and then do
tar -tzvf tarball.tar.gz > /var/adm/packages/tarball
which will produce a listing of all files in the original tarball.tar.gz
in a file called /var/adm/packages/tarball.
Now you can run removepkg, which munges through that list and
removes the files. But it also checks all other installed packages,
as prescribed by _other_ files in /var/adm/packages, so that it doesn't
remove files or directories used by other packages. Since you haven't
generated these files for your other packages, it's a bit dangerous.
You may want to first manually double-check the list to make sure
that removing all the files will be okay.

I'm having various problems with installing a couple of programs,
and I can't seem to figure out why. I'm using Caldera OpenLinux 1.3
I am attempting to upgrade the GTK toolkit with 1.1.13. I installed
the new libs, but when i go to configure GTK, it complains that the
test failed. If I run glib-config --version, it reports 1.1.9. I've
made sure that /usr/local/lib is in both ld.so.conf AND LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
It still cannot find it.
In a seperate project, I was attempting to install the rpm for the new
wine package. It complains about requiring certain libraries. I installed
the new glibc package [1] and verified that the libraries ARE present (in
/usr/local/lib, for the most part), and yet it still refused to find them.
If anyone can shed some light on where I'm going astray, I'd greatly
appreciate it. I'm very familiar with Solaris, but Linux is a different
beast. <g>
Rob
[1] Speaking of that, glibc's configuaration complained about wanting
the crypt and linuxthreads packages. I downloaded them, but cannot
figure out how to get them installed. Hrm, that makes three things
I'm confused about.

Subject: Undefined symbol Apache jserv
Hiya-
I'm attempting to use the jserv module with Apache 1.3.3. I have read
the somewhat scattered docs, and I believe I have DSO support in the
server.
I use apxs to build mod_jserv.so with Apache-JServ-1.0b1:
apxs -c mod_jserv.c
apxs -i -a -n jserv mod_jserv.so
the module builds and /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf is altered to load it.
But, after stopping, then re-starting the server, I get an error msg.:
[root@ravel init.d]# ./httpd start
Starting httpd: httpd Syntax error on line 69 of
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_jserv.so into server:
/etc/httpd/modules/mod_jserv.so: undefined symbol: jserv_error_exit
I looked through the header files, and jserv.h defines this:
----
...
/* Logs an error to Apache JServ log file, apache log file or stderr */
void jserv_error_exit(const char *file, int line, int level,
jserv_config *cfg,
const char *fmt, ...);
...
----
I am willing to be told to RTFM, just point me to it if it exists, I
have searched for how to fix this for a while with no joy.
TIA.

You aren't listening. You do *NOT* need to have a keyboard or monitor
attached to a linux PC in order for it to boot. I have neither monitor, nor
keyboard attached to mine. I telnet/xterm into the linux when I need its
applications or when I want to reconfigure it.
The only thing you need a monitor and keyboard for is at the point of initial
installation. Just leave the stupid video card in the machine. Its not
hurting anything, it isn't worth anything, and it doesn't even usually eat an
IRQ.

I think the problem may be that you are trying to mount the CD while your cwd

while trying to mount the CD on it. Try:

All was fine after initial install of RH5.1 with XFree86 (svga I
think), Since then I've made a new xinitrc (i think) using
Xconfigurator to change the res., and I have also reinstalled the Kernel
after having some trouble during boot-up. Now netscape doesn't load
properly. After selecting it there is some disk activity (nothin
abnormal) then a good 5 minute delay and then another quick look at the
hard disk, then bang and its on my screen. End of story. Is there some
kind of task management which controls priority which could cause this.
If not what????
I have other symptoms/problems at the moment. Calderas Star Office
won't install, after selecting setup from a command line in an Xterm,
after a lot of thinking and telling me some crap about the window
manager not setting the icon size, a gui eventually appears taking up
the whole screen and chaging the mouse pointer, a Next button is visible
along with a logo, the machine is then completely locked up, something
that I've never seen happen using Linux/unix.
Thanks for any advice,

Subject: Fat 32 logical drives problem.
Anyone know if there is a limitation with linux resulting in logical
drives in ext partitions not being mountable?
Have 2 hardrives, 8.6 and 6.8 gig drives. 6.8 gig drive is hdb and is
fine, has redhat 5.1 on it and works fine.
8.6 gig has 3 partitions primary and 2 extended. The first extended
partition ,hda2, has 13 logical drives in it all formated as fat32.
Linux wont let me mount any of the logical drives. Most of the logical
drives are 600 + megs. Linux mounts hda1 the primary part and hda3 the
2nd extended partition. When trying to mount any of the logical drives
gives me this error,
mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/dosC -t msdos
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda3, or too
many mounted file systems.
dir /dev lists drives from hda to hda16 for drive hda.
When trying to mount /dev/hda10 get this message
mount /dev/hda10 mnt/dosC -t msdos
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda3, or too
many mounted file systems (aren't you trying to mount an extended
partition, instead of some logical partition inside?
I checked the startup messages on linux startup and found this during
the partition check
hda:hda: set_multmode: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
The next line shows hdb and c and d to be ok.
fdisk reports this when the partition table was printed,
device boot begin start end
blocks id system
/dev/hda1 * 1 1 78 626503
+ b win95 fat32
/dev/hda2 79 79 1031 7654972
+ f unknown
Partition 2 has different physical /logical endings
phys=(1023, 254, 63) logcial=(1030, 254, 63)
Linux will let mount hda1 fine along with hda3. Only the logical drives
are giving me trouble.
Seems like something isnt right. Can anyone can help me figure out why
linux wont mount the logical drives or point me to a faq or howto
explaining this?
Thanks in advance.

Wow. I had no idea that Tucows had a Lunux site. Cool :> When they
dropped the OS/2 section from Tucows, I thought for sure that they
were going Windoze-only.

These are all very good points and they are all accounted for. We are chosing
to *add* linux because we are converting to Apache from Oracle Webserver. It
goes on that "lighter and tighter" saying. Notice I stressed "add"? We are
keeping the Sun boxes (no reason to get rid of them) and since we are expanding
we just decided to add linux boxes instead of purchasing more Ultra's. The
main reason driving this is cost. Three of these 1GB RAM dual Xeon boxes is
the cost of one Ultra. And as a web server, each system should get similar
performance (if not better) then an Ultra 2. Also I think commiting to one
product is risky in this business. If you know that you have tried and tested
two different platforms then if/when one dies or the other simply becomes more
superior in time then it should be much easier to migrate.
