Subject: gpm and mouse
Date: Wed, 03 Feb 1999 14:08:08 -0700
Hello;
I have RedHat 5.2 and i have just upgraded the Kernel to 2.2.0. I have
a mouse that uses /dev/cua1. When i exit X-Windows i get this message:
(gpm) used obsolete /dev/cua1 update software to use /dev/ttyS1
I have tried to link /dev/mouse to /dev/ttyS1 but X-windows failed to
start reporting that it cannot find the mouse.
I have upgraded gpm to the latest version 1.17 but I still have the
message. I disabled the gpm and the message did not appear agian. I
have mouse set to cua1 because that is the only module that it works on.
any ideas why this mmessage keeps coming.
what can i do with gpm
Thanks in advance

Because I like the job, I have friends here, etc. Basically, *no*
place is perfect, but I'm not going to up and move to something
unknown and lose my job. I may hate the new places even more :-)

Drinking wine isn't pretentious. Being pretentious about it is :-)
I get annoyed with the self important beer connoisseurs at times too.
Being a connoisseur is fine with me, but anyone who looks down their
nose at the non connoisseurs is too pretentious in my book. I also
dislike the trend of doing trendy things just to be trendy. (ie, to
be on topic - the trend of getting Windows because everyone else has
it, or the lastest 3D card because your friends have one, etc).

Yep, but I've been to much better woodfired pizza places (Sammy's,
etc). I don't consider this "California Cuisine", but maybe it is.
I'm thinking of those things that appear in restaurant reviews in
regional society magazines that come with hefty price tags and small
portions.

It was all right, but I wasn't too impressed (I didn't think it was a
lot of food, and the quality didn't live up to the beatific reputation
I'd heard of - it was good, just not $20 good).

London and Steinbeck were down to earth guys. Unpretentious,
unconcerned with self-image, etc. Plop them in the middle of Venice
Beach or Rodeo Drive, they'd be amused to say the least. If they saw
the endless construction going on and massive crowds they'd probably
be upset. They would never say things like "let's do lunch". (I'm
just guessing here)

That's what jacked up means to me. Prices rise high because enough
people are willing to pay it. Maybe you have a different definition
of "jacked up"?
Everywhere I look on TV I see people with houses. Nice houses.
Dilbert on TV even has a house with an attached garage. But I make
$80K, which I consider an enormous amount of money, but if I bought a
similar house to what I see on TV, I'd be struggling to make ends
meet. Prices here are aimed at the dual-income family I guess.
> Good jobs attract good people, they earn higher
> salaries, thus they can/are willing to afford more.
And there's tons of people without great jobs that live here too.
In the paper yesterday it mentioned that Saratoga was setting aside
places for lower income families that earned $35K or less combined,
the rent was $800/month I believe. That's enormous rent to pay if
that's all you make.
(we do have telecommuters at work that spend every other week or so in
town, and the rest at home in less expensive areas, but I don't think
I could handle the constant travelling)
> Ask too much for

But ask just right, and enough people will make offers that you can
increase the housing costs far faster than inflation can keep up.

Because there aren't a lot of what I consider good high tech locales
other than here. I came from San Diego first (which is also
overpriced, but not as much), and it's got a few good companies, and
tons of tiny companies. I like programming, and interesting
programming (not windows, not boring business apps, not shaky
startups). I don't consider web page building to be a high tech
profession, but some do. (I think some of the people that say "I
found a new job in only half a day" are quite a bit less picky than I
am :-)
I also hate looking for jobs (the last times I had to look, times were
tough and no one was hiring, and I did look outside californial, and
it was a bit traumatic; my current job my boss had to work to lure me
to).
> It's very easy to look at everything in a negative light.
I know. There is good stuff in California too. Also, everytime I
even whisper that something might be nicer somewhere else, people
look at me like I few a second head. "But that's a miserable place"
they say, "it's too cold/hot", too many "red-necks/commies", etc.
Everywhere has it's drawbacks, which is why I'm a bit annoyed with
people that treat California like it's a perfect paradise.
> Personally, I think your argument hinges on your

No, I never left, just lived in different places, San Diego and
Silicon Valley. (I grew up in central valley, so I don't really feel
like cultural brethren with either Bay Area of LA area people)
But my argument really hinges upon the contrariness factor. Ie,
someone took one view, I gravitated towards the contrarian view. It's
a natural human factor (most noticeable in politics). The drawbacks
were fresh in my mind, and a post seemed to imply what a great place
this was, so I naturally decided to defend the opposing view :-)

Why bother if most users have such small expectations?
Just burn them an OS and applications on a ROM and let
them have it. THEY have no reason to buy into false
motivations to constantly repurchae the same product over

Developers need to come up with something better than that.

Many version of passwd insist on reading a password from the
terminal for various obvious security reasons. If you run
passwd on a pseudo-terminal and look for appropiate prompts
their is no trouble. You can do this easily using expect.
If you want to embed this in a C program you can use libexpect. If you
want to use /dev/ptmx in 2.2.x then you need either bleeding edge
glibc or libpt at ftp://word2x.alcom.co.uk/pub/word2x/libpt.tar.gz.
The library contains stubs for functions other systems need, in
particular grantpt. (As an alternative you can RTFS and write your own
ptmx support code which is not recommended).

I suggest a book by WROX PRESS called "Beginning Linux Programming"
It is centered around writing programs for Linux for the user who is not
familiar with UNIX. It takes you through understading command shells
and your ENVIRONMENT, to writing shell programs and understanding
standard in and standard out.
Then it will walk you through writing a Character Mode Interface with menus
for a CD music library database in bash.
Then it will teach you a little about C programming and you will rewrite
the
same program in C.
Then you learn about the Web and how to write CGI programs. again you
write the program with a web interface.
Then you learn about X-windows and how to program in GUI mode.
You will learn a lot about UNIX in general and programming in general
by working through this book.
It is so well written that I have had to buy 4 copies of it because every
time
I lend it to someone like yourself they return it so dog-earred and
broken-backed
that I tell them to keep it as a present.
It is BRIGHT RED with YELLOW LETTERING.

Does anyone know the release plans/dates for various Linux distributions

Further update in my QUEST for ppp:
I recompiled the kernel with ppp as a MODULE (rather than hard-linked)
and corrected a typo in the conf.modules file. This eliminated all of the
error messages
that appeared in /var/log/messages
Unfortunately, this didn't change the behavior of ppp!
When the connection is established (according to ifconfig --- a message also
appears in
/var/log/messages) I type
route
and the command hangs for a full 8 minutes (I timed it), and FINALLY prints
out a three-line message
that indicates a good connection (according to all the ppp documentation):
the third line is a correct default route (with device ppp0) to the far side
of the connection.
I am able to ping both ends of this connection, but nothing else (including
my ISP's nameservers).
I know that the namesevers are up because I'm using them now (after
rebooting into Windoze).
Any suggestions?

Porting usually means taking a piece of software from one system to
another.
This is done in different ways depending on the differences between the
systems
and it also depends on the particular details of the software.
For example if I write a DOS BAT file and I want to port it to a Linux
box
I would either install dosemu (DOS emulator) on the linux box and then
run the BAT file under dosemu. Or I would figure out the functionality
of
the BAT program (what it does) and rewrite the program in a scripting or
compiled programming language that is native to Linux.
If you write your programs in JAVA then (theoretically) you don't need
to worry
about porting them.
Programs written in C are not too hard to port if they don't use much
I/O functions.
Programs written in proprietary languages like FoxPro or MSVisualBasic
are basically
impossible to "port" you just have to rewrite them in a native language
on another
system.

I tried the jdk 1.1.7 rpm that is at contrib.redhat.com, but it had some

my HDD.} So currently it sees 64M only. {I'm having some problems
making swap files larger that 64M so} currently I have:
RAM - 64M
swap partition - 8M (argh, newbie installation)
swap file 1 - 32M
swap file 2 - 32M
swap file 3 - 60M.
During program's running I've got a message "Unable to load
interpreter". I'm pretty sure that I don't have such a message in my
program :-) I'm using g77. The message appeared after ~2 hours of
continous disk activity. The program printed some results shortly
after the message appeared and those seems to be correct. I stopped
the program immediately so I'm not sure if it'd proceed correctly
otherwise. Does anyone have an idea what the message is about and
where it came from - fortran or kernel or drivers or ... ?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Andrei

Did someone forget zsh? It's one of the best things since sliced cheese
and the vile editor that is.
