I can tell you what it means from SoX's perspective. It means SoX requested a
buffer from the audio driver to send sound data to and the audio driver
responded back saying it could only supply a buffer of size 0.
You might look for the area of configuring your sound card were it lets you
specify the size of buffers to reserve. Make sure its at least 32k.

Yes. Me. (Well, it's a home machine, but also is used for business,

they are connected to the net.)
And many others. I don't *always* recommend Linux over NT for desktop
use, but I often do. It depends what my clients want to do, and
whether they really need some specific Windows-only app or simply
equivalent functionality.
In fact, I know some younger people who as far as I can tell never got
hooked on Windows to begin with. They use Macs, Linux, FreeBSD,
sometimes Solaris, Amiga, etc.; many of them have tried Windows, but
were thoroughly less than impressed.

If you can afford it, get a cheap SB16 and an _external_ midi box. I have a
Roland SC 55 (IIRC) box. I can verify that this sounds really fine. It is

I have an Epson Stylus 500.
Printing images from Gimp with its own 500 driver,
they come out with a reasonable colour balance and
brightness.
If I do the same using Ghostscript 4.03m they come out
much darker. At 360 dpi they are hard to view; at 720 they're
almost black. The colour balance seems to be unaffected, just
the brightness. I use the following command:
gs -sDEVICE=stcolor \
-dMicroweave \
-dNOPAUSE \
-sDithering=fscmyk \
-r360x360 \
-sOutputFile="|lpr" \
-dSAFER \
newfile.ps \
-c quit
Has anyone had the same problem?

In a technical discussion recently, the statement was made that the
Solaris OS can support processes in memory as large as 2G (up to 3.8G or
so in newer versions of the OS) and that Linux can only support
processes up to 1G.
I understand that there might be complicating issues such as BIOS
limitations, but can someone direct me to something approaching a
definitive answer on the factors that affect how large a process can
grow under Linux? I would appreciate it.
All the necessary caveats apply, I've checked the FAQs and nothing

I think that it's probably more likely the software they are using
defaults to an address of root@localhost, or whatever.. Then again, I
could see why people would run as root all the time. Even when I'm
logged in normally I'll keep an "su"d xterm open so I can change stuff,
look at logs, etc.. There's not a lot of difference..

LILO at the prompt and that does it. I reboot and i get the LILO prompt just like

As for the comment directly below this one:
WIn98 when it crashes might be messing up the MBR and thats why u may not be able

Subject: disk quota problems
Date: Tue, 13 Apr 1999 10:28:29 GMT
I'm running RH 5.2 , kernel 2.0.36 with dquot_5.6.0 and quota utils 1.55-9. I
tried to enable quota support on my /home partition as described in the Quota
mini-HOWTO. Everything works fine i.e I'm able to do repquot , edquota etc.
But when I add another user and do repquot or edquota , the process hangs and
I'm not able to shutdown cleanly because the filesystem won't unmount. When I
do a ps , it shows D in the STAT field (uninterruptible sleep) . When I
reboot , things work fine until i add another user and do repquot or edquota.
I would appreciate it if anyone could help me resolve the problem.

$30000?????? I have an Oracle price list in front of me and it says UKP230 per
user (or UKP1170 for Enterprise Edition). They don't quote per-CPU prices and
we were told that they do not do that - only a 10user (I think) licence where
you
*cannot* calculate how many users you have (i.e. Web applications). Note this
is always *concurrent* users.
I have used PostgreSQL quite a lot and think it's pretty good, but I'm not sure
I

any data with it).
Don't forget Informix, Sybase and DB/2 are all options for Linux as well now.

Subject: Problems with fetchmail and networking
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Egg LeFume)
Date: Tue, 13 Apr 1999 23:15:21 GMT
Hi.
I'm having a few problems with my RH 5.1 machine that might be
related.
First, my machine. It's running RH 5.1 with the 2.0.36-3 kernel
(from the rpm, not compiled at all), 32M of RAM, 3.2 and 1.6G HDs. It's a
standalone machine (no network) that I have connected to my ISP with PPP
over a dynamic link for a few hours a day.
And now, the problems. First, fetchmail absolutely refuses to
download mail from my ISP's mail server. (I've been telnetting into the
ISP's shell and reading remotely for years. I'd like to start reading
locally, now that I have Linux up and running.) Here's what I find in my
maillog file:
Apr 11 18:32:37 sunlink fetchmail[5113]: skipping message 60 not flushed
Apr 11 18:32:37 sunlink fetchmail[5113]: skipping message 61 not flushed
Apr 11 18:32:38 sunlink fetchmail[5113]: reading message 62 of 62 (2926
bytes) .
(log message incomplete)
Apr 11 18:32:38 sunlink fetchmail[5113]: SMTP connect to localhost failed:
Network is unreachable
Apr 11 18:32:38 sunlink fetchmail[5113]: SMTP transaction error while
fetching from pop3.sunlink.net
Apr 11 18:32:38 sunlink fetchmail[5113]: Query status=10
where the first 61 messages had already been read remotely, and
only message 62 is new. It sees my mailbox, but can't download for some
reason. Here's a copy of my .fetchmailrc as well:
# Configuration created Tue Feb 9 00:37:47 1999 by fetchmailconf
set syslog
set postmaster "egg"
set daemon 60
poll pop3.sunlink.net with proto POP3
user "eggie" there with password "xxxxxxx" is egg here
options keep
I can send mail just fine locally, but can't receive it. It's the
reverse with news, however - I can read news locally but can't post.
The second problem I'm having is networking causing my machine to
freeze during bootup. If I have networking enabled in ntsysv or the
runlevel editor or something, I get the following at bootup:
INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
Disabling IPv4 packet forwarding
Sysctl: ip forwarding off
Then it freezes, and the only thing I can do is reset. I do have
initscripts 3.67.1 (I tried installing a later version, but it complained
that it wouldn't work with RH5.1), and I also have net-pf-4 and net-pf-5
"off" in my /etc/conf.modules file.
I have a feeling at least one of these problems can be fixed by a
kernel compile. If so, which options should I set/disable? I would
appreciate any help with either of these problems, and can post more info
on my computer or setup if necessary. Thanks...

Was it a PC architecture machine? I have a Xenix machine which whilst
Intel 80286 based is most definitely not a PC, and I imagine the boot
loader and partition table would be rather different.

You may not have any option BUT to copy machine to machine. I'm not
entirely sure how I'd go about it. Probably rzsz and cpio -p...
Actually that's got me thinking now. I haven't fired up the
Xenix box for well over 2 years. About time it was given a run.
I feel an experiment coming on.

Oh yes. Very much so. It was the subject of litigation. Linus Torvalds
owns the trademark (US-centric at least). Some chape registered it then
started trying to charge people for using the name. Got sued, settled
out of court, and handed over the trademark. Other settlement details

If Microsoft ever published a piece of software that was worth the

anything like that happened was back in the days of CP/M when Microsoft
was devoted to language compilers and ROMs for machines like the
Commodore PET... Even then they had obscure and quirky bugs.

Subject: mysql install ok, cannot connect to server?
Date: Wed, 14 Apr 1999 05:57:47 GMT
I am trying to get mySQL installed on Linux 5.1 and after the rpm install of
the server, client, and development packages when I try to issue the
"mysqladmin shutdown" command, I get the following error:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'
What does this mean? Where is it getting the localhost from, is this just the
default? How can I change this...do I want to change this? Did I miss
something when installing Linux (I am newbie to Linux...worked with UNIX for
over 6 years).
Not sure if this is the right news group for this question, but I did not see
a mySQL news group out there....and I did see some posts in this news group
regarding mySQL.
Thanks for any help getting this working!
