Subject: Fatal (X-) server error: Hung on ApmSync()
Date: Tue, 09 Feb 1999 18:28:33 GMT
Hello all,
after some trouble with the X-server that came with my graphics card
(Yakumo Voodoo Rush 3D with Alliance Promotion AT25 chip) I upgraded
to the latest version 3.3.3.1 of Xfree86 X Window System. In contrast
to that server provided by my graphics card vendor the new XF86_SVGA
server detects the chipset and my font path and tries to start, but it
never gets past this:
XFree86 Version 3.3.3.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: December 29 1998
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Linux 2.0.35 i686 [ELF]

Hello there,
I've got a problem i'm working on but i can't manage on my own. So i
thought there are probably people out there who might have the solution.
Here it is. I've got a whole bunch of files having names which most are
in upper case. So i would like them to be changed using a shell
script. Something which looks similar like this:
for i in *; do
mv $i `basename $i .`
done
Is there maybe a command which can do the translation from upper to
lower in one go?
TIA

Look for Netscape.ad in the directory where you install it. Look for the

Emacs does well editing files with international characters, using the
`leim' package. You can turn the composed character sets on/off in
each buffer with a keystroke, according to whether or not you need
them. It's much simpler than working the <ALT>-keypad trick.

Dump, tar, cpio all work to archive to tape or can be piped to
the corresponding restore either on the same machine or over
a network. Rsync works pretty well over a network or to
alternate disk partitions. 'Cp -a' works acros disk partitions
on the same machine and could probably work over NFS (but
I prefer rsync for network copies). None of these will make
the target disk bootable, but all you need is a boot floppy to
bring the machine up after transferring the filesystem contents
and then run lilo to make it bootable.

You are probably looking for "gramofile".

Subject: I need help with procmeter-2.5, please.
Date: Tue, 09 Feb 1999 18:50:30 +0100
Hi,
Anyone played with procmeter-2.5? I need to display saved data.
This is what i've done.
procmeter cpu -log cpu.data #This collects the data
mkfifo -m 777 cpupipe #Create named pipe
cat cpu.data > cpupipe
procmeter -data cpupipe
Then i get an error message, which follows:-
ProcMeter: Waiting for the file 'cpupipe.def' to appear.
ProcMeter: Waiting for the file 'cpupipe.def' to appear.
ProcMeter: Waiting for the file 'cpupipe.def' to appear.
ProcMeter: Waiting for the file 'cpupipe.def' to appear.
ProcMeter: Waiting for the file 'cpupipe.def' to appear.
ProcMeter: Waiting for the file 'cpupipe.def' to appear.
If i try to run procmeter by itself, i don't get a problem at all. It
all looks really good.
Please help.

Subject: ? Credit card processing ?
Did anyone impliment a reliable credit card software with linux? What
do you think about setting up another computer that runs NT, which would
process credit card, to the linux webserver?
Thank you very much for your opinion!

I think I fixed my problem. I changed inetd.conf to run it "nowait"
instead of "wait", and I haven't had any problems since. :-)
