Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Fri, 05 Feb 1999 16:10:26 GMT
I'm having problems with key bindings under x-windows. Specifically,
here's what I wnat to do:
In a regular Linux console (with TERM set to linux), I can telnet into a
VMS system and when I use the NumLock key, it acts as the GOLD key in EVE,
the text editor for VMS. My keyboard acts as it should under a VMS system.
If I go into x-windows and then telnet to the VMS system in an xterm
window, the NUMLOCK key no longer acts as the GOLD key and other keys no
longer work as they should under a VMS system.
How do I set up a PC keyboard to act the same under an xterm as the
termcap entry when TERM=linux?
I've searched high and low for ANY help on this matter. The Linux Keyboard
and console HOWTO didn't help much.
Can someone help me with this problem?
Thanks!

That wasn't the first. It was the 50 Megalith upgrade.
Avesbury was one of the earlier 33 megalith models.

Hi,
I've RH-5.2 successfully installed, but, when I try to compile some of
my
Unix programs, the "regcmp" command is missing.
Does anyone know if it's in a package found on the CDs, or if I have to
get it from
elsewhere.
Thank you.

I am having problems compiling the Kernel 2.2.1 with the APM option of
poweroff on shutdown, set using make xconfig and selecting the option
from withing General Setup.
Everything compiles okay and the kernel runs okay after installing it in
lilo etc etc... The problem is that it just doesn't work when I
shutdown. i.e. the computer stays on.
I never had this problem with 2.0.36 and I have double checked and
re-compiled my kernel 3 times.
Is anyone else having this problem, is it a bug or am I missing another
setting that needs to be set along with the APM settings.

Hi,
I'm trying to find some answer to see if Linux or FreeBSD is better.
I need it to run Apache/php Web server with MySQL, and X windows and
Netscape browser.
Most of the posts gave one reason or another. Some posts just
say go try both.
I tried both. One of first thing I noticed is under FreeBSD,
the disk access is very slow compare to Linux. I only remember
one post mentioned about the old file system under BSD or something.
So, I assume either I'm doing something wrong or no
one else is experiencing this.
If you know how to make the file system faster under FreeBSD, please
let me know.
I have some benchmark for MySQL done on the same machine for
both the Linux Slackware and FreeBSD. The machine is a PII266
with 128Meg RAM, Buslogic 958 UW SCSI with Seagate 7200rpm SCSI
drive.

mcopy automaticly mounts and unmounts every time, so I could
just use cmp then. Isn't it?

Have you run a "top" could be that root has "nice" priority on jobs and
there is some hung-up process that is eating CPU in the background.
So everything works for Root because it has priority for time-slice,
but your user processes have to wait.

POSIX is POSIX, but POSIX has optional components, i.e. functions that may
or may not be provided by a particular implementation of the standard.
pthread_attr_setstacksize is one such optional component.
There are preprocessor symbols that you can #ifdef to see if a particular
optional component is provided.
For more details, please see any good book on POSIX threads, or the
POSIX specs, or the UNIX98 specs.

The development versions of LinuxThreads that accompany the development
versions of glibc 2.1 implement the "stacksize" attribute. However,
those versions are still in alpha test and not ready for the general public.

you shouldn't have to do this unless it is the same kernel version.
make modules_install puts the new modules in /lib/modules/'uname -r' so
it is usully okay.

are you sure about this? I took my kerneld out of my init script and I
couldn't boot the kernel, it went into another runlevel and stalled...
Does kerneld do some other stuff that is needed? I didn't think so.

At least give Debian a mention! I started with Slackware, nearly gave up,
switched to RedHat and used it happily for about 18 months, but about 9
months ago I changed to Debian and have stayed with it. I'd say that once
you get over the initial installation (dselect is a bit counter-intuitive)
Debian is actually easier to maintain than RedHat. And support from package
maintainers is brilliant.

I find the default, unthemed KWM to be a no nonsense and polished
look. I like that since I'm not the sort of person who likes fiddling
around to get something to look decent (though, of course, there's
kcmkwm which is pretty painless). KWM is faster than Window Maker
here, so I guess I should check out the improved version. But Fvwm2
is definitely the tackiest of them all.

Ben,
I am running RedHat 5.2 (from the Macmillan boxed edition). I have
not made any mods, just installed it. At one point I did try to start
the X server (I did "telinit 5" I believe) but I had apparently
specified incorrect hardware or something because it was unable to start
(would switch to a flickering screen for a second then back to the text
with an error which I don't remember). I finally had to shut it off to
get out of that loop. I did "telinit 3" once I was able to boot up
without errors. Right after the installation I was able to shutdown to
"system halted", so I wonder if my X-periment changed something for the
worse.
I'm sorry, I don't have the what is displayed on the console right
now...the machine is at home and I'm at work. I will post it later.
After typing shutdown, I have waited as long as overnight for
something to happen...but when I got up in the morning it was as I left
it.
Thanks for your help!

I had a similar problem. I had a blank machine, with 2 drives, and I wanted to put
win95 on the slave. What I did was install RedHat5.2 on the primary drive, making
sure that the slave was a vfat partition, then when it came to configuring lilo, I
set it up to boot to both drives, even though there was nothing on the slave. Then
I switched the jumper settings on the drives, so the slave was now the master,
istalled win95 on it, then switched the jumpers back. Now I can boot into either RH
or win95 quite happily. The only problem I've found is using an old copy of Norton
Disk Utilities for Dos under win95, it doesn't like it, but nothing else has
complained...

Is there a simple way to fix the "%_target_cpu" not found problem?
This system has 1GB of RAM (and it is possible to add more)
and I would like to use the 2.2.0 kernel for the
memory management features.

Others on the Debian user list had the same problem; apparently it was a
downstream ISP. Problem seems to be fixed today.
