Subject: Linux does not execute/see program : Wine
Date: 13 Apr 1999 15:58:49 GMT
I just installed Wine to run some DOS/WIn3.1 soft in Linux.
I work in UNIX/LINUX for many years, but ....
strange/crazy things go on: Linux does not execute/does
not see some programs.
I run Caldera Linux 2.0.29, everything was fine, but what is this?
Linux run some and does not want to run some at all :
cmmrboot 176% pwd
/usr/local/bin
cmmrboot 177% ls -lt | more -9

My default Shell is "csh". You see I try "bash" - all is the same.
Program "wine" has been installed following the instruction. It was
compiled with gcc-2.7.2.3 on a RedHat Linux 5.1 system.
I have got the binary from
http://www.cse.psu.edu/~juran/wine/#instructions-rpm
as compressed tar.gz file .
He-eeelp !

Hi all linxuers,
I'm trying to set up a terminal server where from scatch.
I have RedHate 5.2 using multi-port serial card (Comtrol Rocketport32 )
I have pulled together information from various sources
and trying to piece them togther.
I'm still trying to figure things out and
I'm not sure if I'm installed all the modules correctly.
I also hope that this will serve as a complete
terminal server installation guide for all future users.
I have downloaded the following files
comtrol-1.15.tar.gz drv for rockport32
portslave-1_16_tar.tar for dial-in
radiusd-cistron-1_5_3_tar.tar for auth/authorization/account
* I have successfully installed and compiled the rocket port driver
to /usr/src/comtrol dir.
* I unziped the portslave-1_16_tar.tar to /usr/src/portslave-1.16
installed and compiled it to /usr/local/portslave.
edit /usr/local/portslave/etc/server.cfg
edit /etc/inittab
add to startupscript /usr/local/portslave/bin/radinit
add following ( what's the purpose ? ? ? ? ?)
!root:x:999:1:Portslave Admin:/tmp:/usr/local/portslave/bin/ctlportslave
to
/etc/passwd
edit fingerd to use portslave's /etc/inetd.conf
create options file with 0 bytes /etc/ppp/options
chown root.dip /usr/local/portslave/bin/pppd
chmod 4755 /usr/local/portslave/bin/ppd
~ Why can't I locate init q which should start the portslaves ?
~ How do I know if portlsave is running ?
* I untar radiusd-cistron-1_5_3_tar.tar to /usr/src
Edit src/conf.h to adjust paths for logfiles
Edit src/Makefile ( how to add below ????? )
Defines: DBM DBM support
NDBM NDBM support (Mutually Exclusive )
NOSHADOW Don't compile in shadow support
CISTRON_COMPAT Backwards compatibility with older cistron
terminal servers
NT_DOMAIN_HACK Strip first part of NT_DOMAIN\loginname
umask 22

This has been discussed repeatedly in this news group. The problem comes
from the fact that you left unused modules under the directory:
/lib/modules/<kernel>. You can either delete the unneeded modules
by hand, or clear out the entire directory tree and repeat the
make modules
make modules_install
Make clean should clear out the modules, but it doesn't.

Thanks for the answer. In configure I find the line
ac_unique_file=x11amp/main.c
and that file exists:
/tmp/x11amp-0.9/x11amp/main.c
But the errors described above says that configure can not find the sources in or ..,
ie
the only two directories it tries are "" and "..". But even if I replace "" with the
real
directory it still can't find the sources.

Subject: vmware: dga and tools problems
Date: Wed, 14 Apr 1999 03:22:42 GMT
I recently installed vmware in linux without problem.
However, I've had problems using the DGA capable server
and their tools package, and couldn't find any solutions
on their webpage.
First, I installed the XFCom_3DLabs server, and it runs
fine, but when I load up vmware, it tells me that:
XFree86 direct graphics (DGA extension) initialization failed
Does anyone have any idea why this would fail, and what I
can do to fix it?
Second, I can boot into win95 in vmware fine, but when I
try to execute the supplied tools package, I get a
"move error", or something to that effect. Again, any clues
on this one?
Thanks.

You don't mount an audio CD, because it doesn't have a filesystem on it.
You stick it in the unit and play it directly.

I am running a Win98 machine ( i know, I know) with a partition for
Linux. How can I tell in Linux how big each partition is and how full it
is and what directories are on what partitions. Preferable something I
can run from outside X becasue I was trying to install gnome and it
screwed up and I think the reason is the my partition is full --- but I
can't get X to work now. It says it is missing shared library linPnlib

Je ne pense pas que ce soit un bug du noyau, car j'ai ete confronte
au meme
probleme il y a quelque temps. Il vous faut verifier toutes vos
allocations
et surtout verifier que vous allouez assez de memoire a chaque coup.
Une telle erreur sur un free provient du fait que des donnees necessaires

why? the reason no one likes the company is b/c no one likes the software
they make. The software sucks. WHy do you think people are migrating from
MS to Linux? Linux is better quality.

yeah more than likely if that was the case people woudn't be so angry at
them, viruses wouldn't be created against them and basically there would be
no reason to hate them. But the reality is none of that is true. We have to
pay out tons of money, somtimes every 6 months for new versions of software
(and an OS on less frequent terms), and the software crashes constantly and
with a lot of products like Frontpage 98 and Word 97 it doesn't do what
people want it to do and/or it does it its own way instead of th way the user
wants it to be done.

Use the mkisofs command to create the image; once that's done, you can
mount the ISO CD-ROM image using the command:
mount -o loop,ro [filename] [mount point]
