Subject: "Art Format" images?
Date: 27 May 1999 23:40:49 GMT
I grabbed a few images from someone's web page, noticing they were
rather small, and had suffix ".art." I couldn't get xv to display
them, nor the K image viewer or browser from my (now ancient) SuSE 5.3
distribution. The web page's author, on AOL, says they're "in art
format which displays well in MSIE." Well, I'm not about to get
a Microsoft computer for most any reason, least of all a few images,
but I thought I'd ask around if anyone knows about this format,
and what we Linux folks can use to view it.
TIA,
Jim

I've experienced X server lockups with Netscape 4.x and fvwm 2.0.46.
Both keyboard and mouse events were ignored, so my PC seemed to be
locked up, but the hard drive continued to work, so I think the Linux
kernel was still running. I mention Netscape because that was the
program I was actively using when the lockup occurred, but the problem
went away when I downgraded to fvwm 1.24 and stayed away when I
reupgraded to fvwm 2.2.0. (fvwm 2.0.46 was a beta release so it's
understandable that I had problems.)
I suggest that you try a different window manager and see if your
problem goes away. Note that fvwm95 is based on a fvwm 2.0.something
beta release.

That MUST be it!!! I do occasionally ^D the xterm while at other
times I kill using the mouse key. The question, then is WHY does this
happen and what can I do to fix this annoying thing?

I installed Debian 2.1 on a SUN IPX with 32mb of memory. It made the
machine quite snappy
especially comaped to its previous OS (Solaris 2.5). It is stable, and can
do ppp, However
it will not run Netscape 4.5. It always returns a bus error. Chimera and
Arena and Lynx all work though.

There is almost certainly no need to rebuild the kernel. He's just not
mounting the partition with the 'vfat' option. Unfortunately almost all
the books and HOWTO's I've read still use 'msdos' to mount MS partitions
despite the fact that most people are looking for 'vfat'.

I believe it has to do with your path.
As root, your path includes /sbin,etc... , as a normal user by default you
don't, but you could add a path to /sbin in your normal user acct.
See the configuration How To.

I use the normal X mark and paste mechanism. Highlight what you want to copy,
move the mouse to the window you want to move it to, press the middle mouse
button (or left and right mouse buttons if you have 3-button emulation), and
viola! The text is copied...

Hello!
A friend of mine received a working, but too old and slow (by todays
standards) Sun workstation for free. The disk is dead, but we have a 1Gb
replacement. The machine has 16Mb of RAM, is by itself diskless -- fits
entirely in what a casual observer would call monitor. I do not know the
model :(, but can get it if needed. The disk we have is external. There
is also an external CD-ROM available. No floppy drives in sight,
though... The RAM can be increased. A tape drive is a painful option.
Being a FreeBSD fan/user myself, I'd recommend {Open|Net}BSD for the OS
(FreeBSD/Sparc is not ready yet), but I know Linux works on Suns too.
Students can also get cheap (or free?) Solaris, AFAIK...
The requirements are to be stable (of course), have PPP software, and
run Netscape... I'd prefer to set the disk up at home, using my
FreeBSD/i386 machines, but I'm not sure I can make it bootable by a Sun
box.
Thanks for your comments!

Hi, friends,
I wrote a small program which can test process/thread switching time
from the user's view. Is there anyone there did the similar thing or
knows a benchmark for finding the switching timings ? I will appreciate
anyone can give me more information on this.
The following are some preliminary results observed on my Linux box
(Pentium II 400 MHz installed with RedHat 5.2 + kernel 2.0.36).
Thread switching:
Observed min: 2.95 micro-seconds (using yield())
8.48 micro-seconds
Process switching:
Observed min: 3.55 micro-seconds (using yield())
9.25 micro-seconds
This is only one point. Is there anywhere more comprehensive evaluation of
this kind of low-level benchmarking ?
Thank.

do you really want to shutdown the server when you logout? Or do you want
to shut them down when you shutdown Linux? If the latter, then I'd put
a script in /etc/rc.d/init.d which will shutdown the server. Then, in the
various /etc/rc.d/rc?.d subdirectories (the ? is a number - the runlevel)
I'd put a KnnSyDown as a symbolic link to the script in /etc/rc.d/init.d
The first letter must be K, the next two must be a "priority" number. The
smaller the number, the sooner (relative to other Knn... scripts) that it
will execute.

Well, are you setting the port speed? What speed is it connecting at?
Are there any errors logged? Are all your ppp related modules loading?
Here's a complete stab in the dark. I had a problem when changing to
2.2.x with pppd complainint it couldnt find 'ppp_compress' and whatnot.
A quick search on dejanews produced the following.
Add these aliases to your /etc/conf.modules if they're not already
there.
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
Of course this also may not be it. Its kinda hard to tell from your
message. I dunno, its as good a guess as any.

I'm not sure where you read about using mountd from inetd, but I don't
think that's right. You probably could run mountd through inetd, but
you are better off running it only as a stand-alone daemon. No way can
you do both. Take the mountd lines out of inetd; then rpc.mountd will
start and register and open ports correctly.
Second, you need (I think) a hostname or hostnames on the export line in
/etc/exports. Like this: /home/public clienthost(rw)
I don't think the hostname is optional.
Third, be sure to check the system log (syslog or messages) on the
exporting system. Most of the NFS stuff logs error messages there.
