Subject: Star Office Very Slow - WP8 Broken
Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 23:22:51 GMT
Hello, folks.
I have two problems that just might be connected.
Star Office 5.0 is VERY slow. It can take up to 15 seconds just to
re-paint its display after moving the mouse into its window page. All
of its functions are too lethargic for sensible use.
Corel WP8 does not run at all. All I get is the less-than-helpful
error message "Segmentation fault". No joke, that is the extent of the
error message. Not all that helpful!
I have a K6-233 with 64Mbytes RAM running Red Hat 5.2 and kernel
2.2.1. I use AfterStep, so the HW should not be under strain. If I
boot 2.0.36, the behaviour is identical.
One oddity: if I do a 'ps a' when Star Office is running, no processes
relating to SO are listed.
Any thoughts?
Alistair.

My favorite is "Unix System Administration Handbook". While not
specifically about Linux, that shouldn't really matter, since the topics
are applicable to any system.
It's not cheap ($49 or so, as I recall), but it's very much worth it.

I have a dual boot machine Linux/NT 4.0
Under linux I can see the nt partion however I cannot see the linux
partion under NT
If I go to the disk manager it knows that the other disk is there and it
correctly guesses the size however it does not give me access to it!!!
How can I see my Linux partition under NT ... clearly I also want to
access the data stored there....

I don't think so. There is a fully functional version of Slackware 3.6 called
ZipSlack available that can run off of a zip disk, or a boot floppy and a zip disk if
you please. Otherwise, I think your options w/ SuSE are more in the realm of a
regular install, or using the livefilesystem if hd space is limited.

256 bits for time_t was what someone calculated as the first
power-of-two number large enough to hold any date, from the big bang to
the heat death of the universe (this was before they came to closure
about that, obviously) with nanosecond resolution, on the grounds that
he couldn't think of a larger range without going too far beyond the
bounds of usefulness, but expected to be proved wrong later (perhaps
*much* later :> ).
The number of bits he needed was somewhere around 180.

Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 10:15:06 -0600
Hi all,
I'm running RedHat 5.2 on an AMD K6-233 (1.4 years old) dual booting
with win95, and in the last week some strange things have been
happening, so any help you can offer would be apprecatied. Anyway, when
I boot into 95, I have no problems except when I shutdown. Normaly if I
tell 95 to shut down, it ends up rebooting. I can deal with 95 being
flakey, heck, I expect it. The big problem is when I run Linux, I can
run (in and out of X) for anywhere between 30 seconds and 30 minutes
before it locks up. By lock up, I mean, the caps lock key doesn't even
turn the keyboard LED on! No mouse input, no hard drives seek, no
keyboard input, the only useful buttons on the computer at that point
are the reset button and the power switch.
I've been talking with a friend here, and I'm going to try to
under-clock the CPU, and maybe lower the core voltage (I have an ABIT
motherboard that allows that through the bios). I've turn off all BOIS
power managment settings. The weird thing is, prior to this the
computer has been running perfectly. Then I moved, and now it's hosed.
I've torn the case apart and reseated most connectors, reseated the RAM
and even the CPU!! Prior to this, it's been running so well, I haven't
recompiled the kernal in MONTHS!
Any suggestions, please email me! Thanks!

I am running RedHat 5.2 with 2.2.3 kernel,
but using KDE for my desktop - as I like the
look and feel of this environment. Still, I find that
I need to use many applications outside the standard KDE
suite, for example, Netscape as a browser and
mutt as my email client. But I notice that when
I run mutt in a kvt terminal window, the screen
is shown in "reverse video", i.e., the background
is black and the foreground is white. This does
not occur when I use fvwm2, the standard RedHat
window manager. Any ideas as to how to change
this.

Hi,
There is a Linux Partition mini-HOWTO, my version that I got
from comp.os.linux.answers was from [EMAIL PROTECTED] According to
that, there can be 4 primary partitions on a disk because they are
specified in a partition table in the disk's boot sector, but, thanks
to the miracles of software, one can have more 'logical partitions'.
In linux, this is done by making one of the primary partitions an
extended partition and then subdividing it. Run fdisk and see how it
views your disk. If you have a SCSI drive, you should be able to
create up to 15 partitions total and if IDE up to 63 total. (Actually,
I think if you run cfdisk the information is displayed in a slightly
more helpful way.) If fdisk can see the logical partitions for E and
F then you could probably use it to set one of them as type ext2, run
mke2fs and install into it. (I'm not sure what you mean by 'writing
an ext2 file system. fdisk can set a partition type. You'll want a
swap partition too probably, that's a different partition type. mke2fs
'formats' a partition as an ext2 filesystem, mkswap 'formats' it as a
swap partition.)
Alternatively, you could delete the 2nd hard partition with fdisk then
create 3 more hard partitions (or 2 hard and one extended, which can then
be subdivided even more).
I'm afraid I don't know anything about Windows 95 or partition
magic. I do know that there can be a problem booting linux if it's on a
partition with a high cylinder boundary. (This may not be a problem with
newer systems and newer BIOS's that know how to deal with large disk
drives.)

I'll agree here. But two situations are never identical when all
variables are considered. The important part of the examples
was that the details were important to consider, so simply pointing
out differences in the details strengthens rather than invalidates
my argument. It is your position that only intentional equivalency
of results is important not mine.
Your objections don't distingushish your A+B argument from my
theft versus overcharging example. In each case the facts, intents,
and methods of achieving the end must be considered prior to calling
one legal and the other illegal.
Here's a possibly more germane example. If I produce code exactly
identical to yours without copying, but simply by observing the
action of your program, I will not be found to have infringed your
copyright because independent creation rather than copying has
occured. The absense of copying is the key element here. Without
the fact of copying, no infringement can be found to have taken
place.

Pine needs a domain that is at least in the form a.b (e.g. Tiger.net). I'm
not sure what the correct method for handling this on a machine with no
domain attached to it, but the workaround I used was to go into the setup
for Pine and changed the value of user-domain (change this to "Tiger.net").
IIRC, Pine needs to have certain compile time options set in order to allow
for this, so you _might_ have to recompile Pine to do this. The main
problem with this is that when you try to mail someone on your system using
just their username, pine will try to send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If anyone can offer any insight on how to configure a machine so that this
isn't necessary, I'd also be interested in reading it.

The program "X" is the server only. Roughly speaking, it just controls
the hardware, depending on what its clients ask it to do. On Linux, we
generally run the "startx" program, which usually tries to start a few
clients, a window manager, and the like, as well as the server itself.
> I was also not able to exit from X so I restarted my computer; what
> is the proper way to get out of X? Thanks for any help.
Often a window manager will provide an exit option. But if you're in
the situation described above, then you should switch to a different
virtual console, using "leftcontrol-alt-F_", where F_ is F2, F3, F4,
F5, or F6, log in (and it may be necessary to do so as root), use
"ps" to find the relevant process numbers, and kill them.
The syntax is "kill PROCESS#", where PROCESS# would be the process
number. This sends the relatively mild-mannered "SIGTERM" signal.
If that doesn't accomplish the task, then you should try the more
powerful "kill -HUP PROCESS#" and "kill -KILL PROCESS#" to send the
more powerful "SIGHUP" ("hangup") signal or the ultimate "SIGKILL"
signal.
(Use SIGKILL only as a last resort, because it does not all the
process the opportunity to clean up after itself before dying.
If the process _still_ doesn't die, then the kernel is busy with
it, possibly because of a hardware or software problem.)

Hi John;
Maybe they are not the Alpha systems you are lookin at but MicroWay has systems
starting at $2395. In the price range you mention you could have a 667 MHz
machine with high perfromance SCSI I/O. True these are single processor
systems, but for many FP applications are going to be very competitve against a
Dual P2 system. Hopefully with Compags purchase of digital the Alpha will
continue to drop in price so it is a much more viable alternative.
