Subject: FDISK: Possible to run in automated (batch) mode?
Date: Fri, 1 Jan 1999 03:09:44 GMT
I am curious if there is a way to run fdisk automated (such as in an
installation program, where you would want to get info from the user
and feed it into fdisk, but you don't want the user to have to deal
with fdisk).
I was able to get this to work (in a shell script) by redirecting
input, viz:
fdisk /dev/hda << X
n
1
...
X
but I am wondering if there is a better way. Expect is also a possibility,
but am wondering if there is a more build-in scripting language.

Not Redmond, Hollywood and New York. The ethics of the moguls in the movie
and publishing industries make Microsoft look like the FSF. Look at the
new copyright law to see what they bought with their donations to Clinton's
campaign.

Subject: libdl.so.2? What is it, where is it? (Needed for Oracle 8i)
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (J. Otto Tennant)
Date: Fri, 01 Jan 1999 03:27:06 GMT
I am trying, for reasons which I do not care to disclose, to install
Oracle 8I. Someone gave me a CD-ROM, and the thing is taking up much
too much space.
Unix, in general, is sometimes a bit confusing in its error messages;
and I've been working with it for nigh onto a decade. It isn't always
obvious when "can't find" refers to a file, or to an interpreter (as in
one blew the right path in #!/usr/local/interpreter), or to a missing
shared library.
I seem to be missing libdl.so.2. Search engine references are not as
helpful as I would like. I've got references to libc, libg, and
something called "freetype2".
I'm using SuSe 5.3. Perhaps I should be using another distribution? Or
SuSe 5.4 will solve all my problems?
(Net searches indicate that I'm not the only one with this question.
Perhaps there is a FAQ?)
Thanks.

Try putting something like this in your /etc/conf.modules:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options lp parport=0
I've set the option to lp back to 0, as I suppose you only have only
parallel port ( and thats the one the printer is connected to ). I'm
not sure if it's needed -- but anyways...
I ofcourse assume you have a normal PC parallelport.

Only someone who has paid very little attention to the way that government
actually works would believe that it will enact legislation to do the
latter and not use it as an opening wedge to achieve the former.
Politicians live for power and they are starting to see possibilities in
the Net. They are also starting to see it as a threat to their power.

No. What you mount is a partition. The convention for unix is to
access a partition through a mount point which is a directory. For
example,
(Linux 2.2.0-pre1) [/home/michael]
20 --> df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc1 101075 41501 54355 43% /
/dev/hdc2 101093 57568 38304 60% /home
/dev/hdc3 1041638 551238 436583 56% /usr
/dev/hdb3 495746 158000 312143 34% /usr/local
/dev/hdb6 201011 112449 78182 59% /usr/src
My root directory is the first partition on my third hard drive --
/dev/hdc1. My home directory is the second partition on that drive.
&c &c.
To mount your partition, you must create a `mount point.' Root is a
mount point but it's already in use. So what you do is create a
directory off root and then use that as a mount point.
mkdir /dos
mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /dos
Now, `cd /dos' and whatever directories exists on /dev/hda1 will be
shown there and accessible under /dos. Assuming, of course, for the
sake of example, that /dev/hda1 is a DOS partition.
All this flies in the face of our DOS training, which has taught us to
regard partitions as `drives' and `logical drives.'

If memory serves, "Ok" is the prompt typically returned by FORTH systems.
You might want to take a look at the URL in my .signature to see how Linux
is likely to cope with Year 2000.
Consider: If you request a calendar for 1752, via the command:
% cal 1752
you will find that Better Calendar Software is often cognizant of calendar
peculiarities going back remarkably far. That may give you an idea of
whether UNIX, on which Linux's design is based, was designed in a competent
fashion from this perspective.

Subject: rpm question [very basic]
Date: 31 Dec 1998 22:34:09 -0000
I'm trying to install a package A.rpm, which contains a file /usr/lib/afile.h.
It turns out that there is already a file /usr/lib/afile.h on my system, so
there is a file conflict. The only solution I see in my RedHat Linux users'
guide is to use the command option
rpm -ivh --replacefiles A.rpm
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
My problem is that I want to be able to keep the old program which installed
the original /usr/lib/afile.h, and also have a new program which also wants
to use the filename /usr/lib/afile.h with different contents. Both programs
are very important. How can I do this without breaking either program?
I don't want to set up a link which points to one of two files, and keep
changing the link. I want to use both programs at the same time. Can
anyone advise me?
Thanks,
Ambrose
ps. I could compile my own sources for both programs and install them in
different directories,
eg. /usr/local and /usr/local2
but I think the .rpm system should also be able to
have an equivalent effect without compromising either version ???

There are 80529 persons registerd.
2727 users have been registered by friends.
There are 42515 machines registered.
I guesstimate that between 0.2% and 5% of all Linux users have
registered with the Linux Counter.

Subject: How To Slow Down System Clock
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Fri, 01 Jan 1999 00:00:43 GMT
Hi,
I noticed that my date/time was slowly drifting.
After running a few experiments I determined that my System clock is
gaining about 40 seconds a day. My Hardware clock gains about 4
seconds a day.
Now I know (I think) how to compensate for the Hardware clock drift
using CLOCK (or HWCLOCK). But doesn't that rely on a accurate System
clock.
How can I either find out why my System clock is gaining, or teach it
to keep accurate time.
The load on the machine is vey low. It's my cable modem masquerade box
that also runs SAMBA to provide print and file sharing (again very low
usage).
-Cheers,
Eddie

The new version of Partition Magic (4.0) can probably do this for
you. It was just reviewed in the most recent edition of Linux
Journal. You should probably read the review, since the author had
some trouble with program in certain circumstances; and you should
check your configuration against his test bed to see whether you might
be liable for the same problems. In any event, PM now includes linux
partitions in its range of HD configurations it can handle.

You have to do this in the /boot directory (or whereever your kernel
is located). Lilo creates/updates a file called `map' that must be in
the directory with the kernel.

>Consider: If you request a calendar for 1752, via the command:

However, that is not an indication of anything but that the person who
wrote the cal program did something reasonable. The Unix date command
for example will only give dates between Fri Dec 13 20:45:53 GMT 1901
and Jan 19 3:14:07 GMT 2038
And it says nothing about how programmers handled dates. (Many do not
use time_t for their date strings, but something like int or long int
and some will roll their own format.
Note that there is absolutely no reason why one neeeds a 64 bit OS. One
could equally well define time_t as a data structure with two ints, or
or as a double, or whatever. In fact I suspect that it is long past time
that it was so defined. I can just see 2038 comming along and everyone
paniking again, because Linux has caught on, but everyone let the
problem slide.
