Subject: help: read ok, write fails, on scsi-atapi cd-rw
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 18:24:03 GMT
I just got a Smart & Friendly Speedwriter Plus. It is an ATAPI drive. I
set up the SCSI-ATAPI emulation in the kernel. I am able to use the
drive as a normal CD-ROM on /dev/scd0 without problems, so presumably
the SCSI-ATAPI stuff is working. (?)
cdrecord reports the following:
Cdrecord release 1.6 Copyright (C) 1995-1998 J�rg Schilling
scsidev: '0,0,0'
scsibus: 0 target: 0 lun: 0
Device type : Removable CD-ROM
Version : 0
Response Format: 1
Vendor_info : 'SAF '
Identifikation : 'CD-RW4224A '
Revision : '1.20'
Device seems to be: Generic mmc CD-RW.
When I go to actually write a CD-R using cdrecord, however, it hangs for
40 seconds and then spews an infinite series of these messages:
scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 252, scsi0, channel 0, id
0, lun 0 Write (10) 00 00 00 03 41 00 00 10 00
hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
ide1: reset timed-out, status=0x90
hdc: status timeout: status=0x90 { Busy }
hdc: drive not ready for command
SCSI host 0 abort (pid 252) timed out - resetting
The drive's light remains on, and the drive cannot be read from until
after a _physical_ power-cycle.
Can anyone tell me what is going wrong, or how I can provide more
information to make it clearer what is going wrong?

Subject: No sound for my Realplayer G2 on Redhat 6.0
I just installed Realplayer G2 on my RedHat 6.0. I can see the
video,
but no sound. I can play CD fine. All the other sound applciations works
fine,
but not Realplayer G2. My sound card is Aureal A3D and I'm using the OSS
driver. I was using the video clips from the www.real.com G2 showcase.
Anything I missed? Do I need to download some patch or something?
I'm new at Realplayer. It's proxy http options is 'Use my web
browser's HTTP proxy'.
I'm not using PNZ and RTSP proxy. Would that be OK?
Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: Release of which-2.6
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 03:02:02 +0200 (CEST)
GNU which-2.6 has been released.
--
NEWS file:
Version 2.5 --> 2.6
* Doesn't depend on libreadline.a anymore.
Version 2.4 --> 2.5
* Fixed which-2.spec
* RPMs are now available from http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/which
Older versions than 2.4 did not exist (as official GNU package).
--
IMPORTANT FOR DISTRIBUTORS OF OPERATING SYSTEMS:
You're strongly advised to make the following alias the default
(add it to /etc/profile):
alias which='which --tty-only --show-tilde --show-dot'
--
Description: Which is a utility that prints out the full path of the
executables that bash(1) would execute when the passed
program names would have been entered on the shell prompt.
It does this by using the exact same algorithm as bash.
Tildes and a dot in the PATH are now expanded to the
full path by default. Options allow to rather print
"~/*" or "./*" and/or to print all exectuables that
match any directory in PATH.
OPTIONS
--version, -v, -V
Print version information on standard output then exit
successfully.
--skip-dot
Skip directories in PATH that start with a dot.
--skip-tilde
Skip directories in PATH that start with a tilde and
executables which reside in the HOME directory.
--show-dot
If a directory in PATH starts with a dot and a match-
ing executable was found for that path, then print
"./programname" rather than the full path.
--show-tilde
Output a tilde when a directory matches the HOME
directory. This option is ignored when which is
invoked as root.
--tty-only
Stop processing options on the right if not on tty.
--all, -a
Print all matching executables in PATH, not just the
first.

Subject: Standard 'Vi'?
Date: Fri, 11 Jun 1999 16:32:15 GMT
hi
this is just a quick question concerning the 'vi'.
which is the standard 'vi'?
ie which clone is seen as the standard vi on unices these days - is it
system delivered vi, vim, elvis etc.
i ask as i am trying to become familiar with vi, and although i know the
basics, i know the clones tend to provide non standard features.
therefore, i want to know if there is a standard vi (as in clone) that
systems use, so i can familiarise myself with the additional
functionality of that particular clone as well.
thank you
fray
can people please cc replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED] also - thanks

LD_LIBRARY_PATH points to a path (duh! ;-), LD_PRELOAD loads one
or more specific libraries. As in:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/glibc2-runtime/ some_program
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/test-libs/libbleedingedge.so.0.1 some_program

Subject: Diamond Supra Express 56i PRO Pci modem
Date: Fri, 11 Jun 1999 09:36:00 +0100
Did anyone successively install a Diamond Supra Express 56i PRO Pci modem?
when I try it in win98 appeared in a window on control panel a message like
"to use
this modem in DOS use the following settings .... " witch were different
from the settings on win, my question is:
if it can work in DOS, is it a Winmodem?
And by the way it has two nice Chips from Rockwell, this means anything?
If anyone has any clue about it please post it, please.
After of setting it up in win I install it in a linux box running REDHAT 5.0
Kernel 2.0.36 in a 486 dx4, using setserial it reported the same irq and io
port that has in the previous window in the win machine, but when I use pppd
to dialup I got an input/output error.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for sounding rude, but did you ever had a look at the man page of
"ls"?
The option "-r" would have jumped right into your face.
Or if you want it more complicated try
find . -print
