Subject: Old Kernel-modules
Date: 28 May 1999 11:47 GMT
Hello,
I have a problem with a module which was compiled for a kernel which is
older than the one I use now (it's the module for the Soundblaster Live,
I got it from Creative=B4s homepage).
Every time I try to load the module using modprobe, I am told that the
module was compiled for kernel 2.2.5 (I'm using 2.2.9 now). When
compiling a kernel there is an option in the loadable module support
called "set version information on all symbols for
modules"(CONFIG_MODVERSIONS) whose description seems to address my
problem but compiling a 2.2.9 kernel with this option doesn=B4t help.
What am I doing wrong?

The bug was fixed around 2.1.50 and that has crippled Real Player since then.
Note that the midi plugin of netscape is also crippled.
Just update to G2 and you won't have to mess with any patch.

I've got red hat 5.2 installed and most things are working fine, but the
screen size is wrong. The virtual desktop is a few inches larger than
the screen, and it's also not seeing all of the colors right. The
monitor's pretty generic (IBM G70, 17 inch), and I've tried messing with
the /etc/X11/XF86Config file, but none of the changes seem to take
effect. I'd really appreciate any advice on how to fix this...it makes
the environment rather frustrating to work in!

You probably have binaries compiled against different C-libraries. One is
probably glibc2 and the other (glquake?) is probably libc5. You will need
to get the correct version of glquake.

A quicker way is ":1,$s/^V^M//" (no quotes!). This substitutes nothing
for all Ctrl-M (aka \r) characters from line 1 to line $ (the last

I have trouble with your premise. You are selling him connectivity. Now
it seems you want to also control what he does with that connectivity--
ie control what information he sends down that line. This I believe to
be inappropriate.
In certain jurisdicitons your attempt to portscan him would be
considered a criminal offense.
I at least would be happier if you based your service on what you
actually supply, not on what he does with it. Ie, you could demand that
he only connect for a maximum of say 5 hours a day, and that he not use
more than a certain number of packets. But to base it on content, is I
believe wrong. It would be like your selling him a pencil and demanding
that he not draw nudes with that pencil (you have another price for
pencils which the user draws nudes with), and you want to install a
video camera into his house to make sure that he does not draw nudes
with this pencil.

I'm using the same Linksys card that you are using, and it seems to
work great, although I haven't pounded on the Linux box very hard.
Just because they are cheap doesn't make them bad.
I think your theory on a hardware problem is very good, specifically
a conflict with the different cards on your PCI bus. With my Abit
BH-6 (my Win computer), the AGP and the first PCI slot share the
same IRQ, and it is generally considered very bad mojo to have two
high bandwidth devices, like a video card and a NIC, try to co-exist
on one interrupt. Sometimes it works, but usually you get weird
problems.
Your second hardware configuration will probably work much better.
If you are using the Abit BH-6, you might want to check for a flash
ROM upgrade; this would allow you to assign an IRQ for each PCI
slot.
I experienced this kind of problem first hand when I added a NIC
card to my Win98 box. After experiencing all sorts of strange
problems and lockups, I noticed that my sound card and NIC were
sharing an interrupt. After moving a card to allow the BIOS to give
each device a separate IRQ, all the problems went away. Apparently
IRQ sharing is somewhat a fantasy. :)

Subject: GNU libtool 1.3.2 release
Date: 27 May 1999 22:32 GMT
Dear developers,
Just after release 1.3 of GNU libtool, we were flooded with bug
reports about a security problem in the libtool installation: the
directory $prefix/share/libtool/libltdl would be installed with mode
777. :-( Furthermore, developers started to complain about weird
autoconf errors, caused by a typo in libtool.m4, that would show up
only for *some* `configure.in's. :-(
GNU libtool 1.3.1 was never released, because we found a few critical
portability problems just before announcing it.
These and a few other portability problems have been fixed in release
1.3.2. Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, we've already
found out one more, that causes -export-symbols-regex to fail when
creating a libtool library linked with libtool convenience libraries.
If you need this feature, you may want to get a CVS snapshot from the
release branch (-r branch-1-3). Instructions are available at our
home page: <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/libtool.html>
If you have already upgraded to libtool 1.3, we urge you to upgrade to
at least libtool 1.3.2, or at least to chmod the directory containing
libltdl so that it is not world-writable.
The list of user-visible changes since release 1.3 follows:
New in 1.3.2: 1999-05-26, CVS version 1.3.1a, Libtool team:
* Avoid circular links of objects and libraries.
* Look for dlerror when dlopen was found in -ldl (typo).
* Disable shared libraries with broken GNU ld on Solaris.
* Documentation improvements; recommend automake users to insert libtool.m4
in acinclude.m4
* AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE and AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE now set INCLTDL.
* New port to NEC UX/4800.
* cygwin-b20.1 passes all tests.
* Slightly improved BeOS support.
* Many AIX 4.3.2 test failures have gone.
* Pass unknown -L arguments through to the linker (for -LANG:* support).
* Close a security hole with mode 777 directory during libltdl installation.
* Fixed the infamous ``ifelse'' bug in libtool.m4

Try this shell command
echo '^[[10;500]^[[11;1000]'
where '^[' denotes the escape character, which can be typed by
pressing Ctrl-v followed by ESC in bash. This sets the PC speaker
bell sound to 500Hz, duration 1000ms. Substitute suitable values and
have fun. My friend and I have written a few perl scripts to play
simple songs. :) [ Hint: echo ^G to ring the bell, and use the

It doesn't work in X, because xterm uses the XBell function to
"display" the Ctrl-G (BELL) character. To achieve the effect, try to
set the bell volume, frequency and duration with 'xset'.
xset b 100 1000 50
sets the X bell sound to volume 100 (full), frequency 1000Hz and
duration 50ms. Read 'man xset' for details. (You can even put the
monitor into standby mode using newer versions of 'xset'.)
After that, do a
echo ^G
to test the bell sound, where ^G is the Ctrl-G (BELL) character, which
can be typed in bash using the key sequence Ctrl-v Ctrl-g.
Exercise: Write a shell script to play "we wish you a merry christmas". :P

Subject: Recording sound from line
Date: 28 May 1999 11:02 GMT
I'm running RedHat 6.0 with kernel 2.2.9. I've got a SoundBlaster AWE 64 Value
sound card. I usually run KDE as my desktop.
I'm trying to record sound from the line input of the sound card, and I can't
figure out how to do it. When I connect a source (the CD player on my home
stereo system) to the line input, I can hear the sound through the speakers or
headphones connected to the soundcard, but I can't figure out how to record the
sound to a file.
My mixer settings seem to be OK.
Does anyone know how to record sound from the line input on the sound card?
My ultimate goal is to record some of my old vinyl albums and write them onto
CDs. Has anyone done this on Linux? If so, how?
Thanks,

/usr/local/maple/bin_IBM_INTEL_LINUX/mapleTTY: can't load library 'libm.so.5'
So I installed libc-5.4.46bin.tar.gz to
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib
and now it worked.
But NOW xmaple:
>xmaple
/usr/local/maple/bin_IBM_INTEL_LINUX/xmaplev5: can't load library 'libXt.so.6'
When I do : export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/X11R6/lib"
Then I get a "Segmentation Fault"
hat can I do ? PLEASE help me !

I�ve tried to compile the IBM Data Explorer from www.opendx.org under
Linux, but failed:

I am using lesstif as Motif substitute.
Does anybody know what�s wrong?
