Hi,
I have just upgraded my Suse-Linux 6.0 to kernel 2.2.4, and I have got the
latest Version of xosview 1.7.1. Theres one problem:
if I use the X-Resources
xosview*disk: true
xosview*diskPriority: 5
xosview*diskBandwidth: 10000000
xosview*diskUsedFormat: autoscale
xosview*diskGraph: false
I get an somewhat scambled output in the xosview-Window and the following
messages repeatedly:
fieldmeterdecay.cc:146
FieldMeter::checkX() : bad horiz values for meter : DiskMeter
value 36, width 144, total_ = 1e+07
fields_[0] = 0,fields_[1] = 11919.7,fields_[2] = 9.98808e+06,
fieldmeterdecay.cc:146
If I add an entry
xosview*diskDecay: false
to my .Xdefaults everything seems to work correctly. But nevertheless that`s a
strange behaviour, isn`t it?
It would be nice if someone could tell me how to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Oliver Natt

Hmm. I've encountered this when building some X programs using
xmkmf; make. There *should* be a -D in front of that LinuxMachineDefines,
and there isn't one, and this confuses gcc into thinking that you are
trying to compile multiple things.
Editing the Makefiles afterward to include the missing -D's works, but
isn't the real problem. I think this is a bug in the scripts that
xmkmf uses. I'm running a somewhat hacked/upgraded version of Redhat
5.0.

Nah, it's the Linus Factor. The BSD camp needs more people with Linus's

I have a Matrox G200 video card and i'd like to play Quake(Team Fortress!) at high
resolution modes. Unfortunately the svgalib doesn't support that card, so I only
get those sucky modeX video modes. I just installed a new 2.2.4 kernel with
framebuffer support and matrox chipset support enabled, and all those modes work
nicely at the console / under X, but the svgalib doesn't seem to have framebuffer
support either.
Anyone know if there are plans for the svgalib to support matrox cards, or if there
is a svgalib version with framebuffer support?

they can sue when things go wrong" argument holds any water at all, then
we should probably see a lot of suits filed against Microsoft because of

Indeed, and Knuth's classic series was titled 'The Art of Computer
Programming'.
A good implementation -is- artful. It expresses elegance.
There are very few programmers who don't see art in their code. (What
they see in others is sometimes not art, but, then, that's true of other
forms of art as well.)

Well, with no copyright they could, but nowadays that takes actual work
to do (the Berne convention holds that anything copyrightable is
copyrighted). Public Domain works have no copyright and are freely
distributable. I even sometimes release stuff into PD when I don't feel
like maintaining it (usually ugly stuff that I had to write that isn't
artful at all :)).

Yes, ther eare some bugs, but Microsoft is working hardly on it and thanks
to teh new Security Site Microsof topened recently we now have an extremely
fast reaction of M support personnel. So, if you have SP4 with the latest
hotfixes you hav enothing to worry about secutiry and bugs. Remember that

I once did someting similar. I created a file system on a backup disk
containing all my home directories of a linux system when I was
upgrading my RH system. All important files were gzipped tarballs.
What I did was to write a special purpose rescue program. The program
searched for blocks that looked like (1) index blocks in the file
system, and (2) start of a gzipped tar file.
I'll gladly let you have my rescue program, but I am not sure it will
help you just to run it. In order to get my files back, I made
commands in the program, changed the behaviour of some commands, and
recompiled my program over and over. Finally, I had rescued the most
important files. There is naturally no documentation in the program,
and no documentation on the use of the program. To use it you need to
be a C programmer and have some knowledge of the EXT2 file system.
Perhaps you are better out than me. I do not know if the inode of a
deleted file is zeroed, or just marked as unused. In the former case,
you'll have all the files by just read the inodes and search the disk
for the files. (When creating a file system, all the inodes were
zeroed.)

So make a symlink to something like /usr/local/bin/moc

Another good reason not to do this: let's say a hacker gets into your
system. He creates a little file in the server's directory (let's
say) called ls that looks like this:
rm -rf *
and runs chmod +x on it. The next time you run ls in that directory,
there's a good chance (especially if you've put . at the *front* of
your path) that you've just nuked everything from there on down. HTH,

Especially amusing is who Microsoft will sue. Apparently they're so

Subject: Re: Shared calendar solution for Linux?
Date: Sun, 28 Mar 1999 18:00:30 GMT
I'd avoid Netscape Calendar server. We tried a rollout where I work
and it flubbed. Communicator Pro isn't free by the way. The calendar
software (both client and server) are licensed from a 3rd party
company and they have to pay license fees on it. In fact, the major
difference between Communicator and Communicator Pro is the calendar
client and the license fee. Coming from an organization that has a
significant commitment in Netscape server software (we run their web,
mail, and ldap servers as well), I've found their calendar server to
be a MAJOR disappointment. The calendar support and development teams
appear to be completely asleep at the wheel.
Having done a lot of research in this area, I'm rather disappointed
overall. This is a very common area of interest, but very little work
has been done on software for shared calendaring. Virtually nothing
at all has been done in the way of open source shared calendaring.
All the efforts I've seen to date were just personal calendars that
allowed multiple users.
Someone else on here recommended the CrossWind product. If the
requirement of purchasing and distributing client software is
acceptable, I'd concur with that recommendation.

How about the very recent "downloader" from
http://www.krasu.ru/soft/chuchelo/ ?
Has anyone tried it out?

Date: Sun, 28 Mar 1999 12:24:12 -0600
I have a strange problem with my printer where it has stopped working
all together. I was printing just fine earlier this morning and all the
sudden my /var/log/syslog file is telling:
lpd[536]: cannot execv /var/spool/lpd/lp/filter
lpd[535]: lp: job could not be printed (cfA011Aa00534)
It was very all of the sudden. I have tried to restart lpd and even
rebooted but there is nothing happneing. Any help on this would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott
P.S. Using RedHat 5.2
