Subject: weird message in syslog on bootup
Date: Wed, 03 Feb 1999 07:24:27 GMT
Hi, I'm running the 2.2.1 kernel, and have just finished cleaning up
some weird module problems. Unfortunately, I'm still seeing this
weird message in my syslog:
Feb 2 01:38:59 artichoke syslogd 1.3-3: restart.
Feb 2 01:38:59 artichoke kernel: klogd 1.3-3, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
Feb 2 01:38:59 artichoke kernel: Loaded 5386 symbols from /boot/System.map.
Feb 2 01:38:59 artichoke kernel: Symbols match kernel version 2.2.1.
Feb 2 01:38:59 artichoke kernel: Error seeking in /dev/kmem
Feb 2 01:38:59 artichoke kernel: Error adding kernel module table entry.
Feb 2 01:38:59 artichoke kernel: Linux version 2.2.1 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) \
(gcc version 2.7.2.3) #7 Mon Feb 1 23:49:19 PST 1999
I'm concerned about fifth and sixth lines: is anyone else seeing this?
My system seems to run fine despite this, but something's nagging me
at the back of my mind, telling me that this could be the symptom
of a bigger problem.
TIA,
Jeff

If you are interested in a commercial solution, Xi Graphics'
Accelerated-X Display Server supports the Lifebook 270dx in all modes
and resolutions fully hardware accelerated, e.g. 1024x768x24bpp. The
Accelerated-X is 2 times the performance of any other X server offered.
Install and setup are very easy. It takes about 10 minutes. Try our
free demo at: http://www.xig.com/support/demo2.html.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

You could upgrade the heck out of Caldera Open Linux (based on RH 4.2)

I have a Dell Inspiron 3200 and have just upgraded from kernel 2.0.36 to
2.2.1 and everything seems to work fine apart from one thing. Linux will
not power down the computer on a system halt. I have enabled the option
in the kernel and have chosen exactly the same APM options as for 2.0.36.
It worked fine in 2.0.36. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I would appreciated replies by email. Thanks very much in advance.

Just a guess here....
Doesn't Redhat run a different password utility than BSD or BSD-based systems?
What might be happening is that your BSD system would accept just about
any password, but the redhat password program may actually be returning
suggestions such as "try a better password." Depending on how strict you want
to be, those password-checking rules can be adjusted.

Most libraries I've visited in the last five years uses Wyse terminals

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello,
We are looking for an agency or individual in Beijing, China who is
able to support one of our clients with installing and maintaining
Linux on an as-needed basis.
The agency or individual will need to be experienced and skilled in
the following tasks:
- install and configure Linux (RedHat) on Intel based hardware,
installing and configuring new hardware as needed
- configure Samba networking to co-exist in a Windows network, with
file sharing between Linux and Windows
- install and configure various software tools (some proprietary)
per written installation instructions
- provide basic user training and support for client, such as how to
boot Linux versus Windows, how to log on, how to shutdown, etc.
- able to converse competently in English both by phone and (primarily)
via email
It is expected that support will be needed infrequently, probably no
more than once per month, but when needed, it should be timely and
effective.
The client will be responsible for agreeing upon and paying for all
services rendered. Replies to this post will be forwarded to the client
for review and all suitable applicants will be contacted directly by
the client.
Please send all replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cheers,
Patrick

Subject: Emacs problems
Hi
I'm running RH 5.2 with KDE. It's a fresh install, and I haven't done
anything wierd as far as I know!
My problem is with emacs. When I fire it up under X it doesn't display
properly. The text starts *underneath* the scroll bar on the left hand
side of the window. I am able to type properly, but the characters
appear on the screen with a really wide spacing between each character
(pressing C-L after typing corrects this problem - but its a real pain).
If I page up or page down then the window becomes corrupted, with
portions of my document all of the place (again I have to press C-L).
Similarly the mini-buffer is doing wierd things.
I can't think what the problem could be. I've tried playing around with
some of the settings in my .Xdefaults, but I don't know what to change.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks
Matt

I have 128M and after a lot of surfing with Netscape 4.0.6 and a couple
open windows THE beast has grown to use almost all of my available memory.
But what ever I do to Netscape I can't make it swap, xosview reports only
about 500k has swapped and when I open more pages it stays at a steady bloat
level. They must be caching everthing they can in RAM and then removing
stuff when they need more space. Sneaky behavior? huh? I need to look
at the source to really know.
Has anyone else looked at the Netscape source?
Its huge, it took forever to download and un-tar'd it is taking up almost
100M on my hard drive, and thats just the source, no objects or executables!
And then try to make sense of that much source! It is not one easy task.
So back to your question of "do you need swap with 128M RAM?"
Why not. The only reason I can see for not having a swap partition is
if the machine is diskless and boots remotely. You mean you can't spare
128M HD space for swap?

Yeah, what Villy said.
But, you will have the problems with files being dated in the future.
Solution is to run "date" and do an "echo $TZ"
this will tell you what your TIMEZONE environment variable is set
to now, and what the system clock is set too.
Check your system clock. figure out how many hours it is in the future.
Set the system clock to UTC (pretty much the same as GMT)
Then turn of the system for the number of hours the clock was set ahead.
When you next turn on your system everything will be OK.

This is easily corrected by booting from LOADLIN, a floppy with the

Unfortunately, LJ published my first submission, not my update, in which I
reveal that the cause of the problems in my review seems to have been
something about my hard disks -- probably either the fact that they were
all SCSI or the fact that some of them had peculiar CHS geometries. The
problems vanished when I installed an old 540MB IDE drive as the first
drive.

ANY utility that mucks with partitions should be considered inherently
dangerous. Do a complete backup before running such things.
FWIW, I heard that PowerQuest was coming out with an update at the end of
January. I just checked their web site and saw no upgrade, though.
Perhaps soon, though....

Thanks. As those printers don't have banner printing facilities of their
own, I eventually wrote a filter which produces a burst page first and
then hands the job over to apsfilter (for ascii-postscript conversion).
Pretty easy, and works like a charm.

Hmm, I believe he is referring to Max Newman, the British
mathematician who helped design Colossus, the machine used to break
the Enigma codes. The original Colossus used an array of vacuum tubes
to store information used in determining the cipher keys.
Oh wait, how can that be? <Americans> invented that idea 5 years
later. Oh, I know. The British used a time machine to travel forward
to 1946, saw what the Americans were doing, stole the idea and
time-travelled back to 1941 to use it. That makes sense.

Full screen output worked for me using a S3Trio64V+ with dosemu 0.98.x
running kernel 2.0.36, didn't try 2.2.1 yet.. But it works for me, did

The problem with this method is that all outgoing mail is sent
from one account. I want to be able to send mail from various
addresses, e.g. I use mailing list specific addresses, and so
far the only tool that does this for me is exmh, unfortunately
exmh doesn't do IMAP. What I'd really like is a tool that will
default to sending the mail from the account that received it.
