Subject: x11amp rpm question
Date: Fri, 11 Jun 1999 05:39:07 GMT
I'm trying to install x11amp 0.9 on my Red Hat 5.2 / kernel 2.2.6
system. When I go into package manager and try to install it I
get a box saying that it has failed dependencies and needs
libaudiofile.so.0 and libesd.so.0
I've downloaded a couple packages that the authors say are (gtk &
glib 1.2.1) needed but trying to install them fails with messages
that several programs need code that the new packages are trying
to replace.
The question - How do I upgrade a RedHat package without
uninstalling and reinstalling all the packages that depend on it?
TIA,
Bill

Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 00:49:24 -0500
Please help point me in the right direction on this issue during the
installation of Red Hat v5.2...
After apparently flawless install...reboot computer and hit <enter> at
"LILO boot:" and get the "Loading linux........" and then the system
hangs. I tried to install several times both with and without a boot
floppy (and both with and without updating the master boot record). I
tried both with and without "Use Linear Mode" option (my drive is
operating in LBA mode so according to the manual this should be
selected). I am suspicious of the MBR/boot partition since I did an
"fdisk /MBR" in DOS a few days ago. The first partition is marked as
"bootable/active" in fdisk under LINUX during the install (I used Disk
Druid numerous times, but didn't see how a partition could be marked
active so I tried using fdisk during the install which allowed me to
mark the root "/" partition as active). I can run the installation
program from Red Hat CD, BUT IT WILL NOT RUN WHEN I TRY TO USE THE RED
HAT FLOPPY (receive "boot failed" message while "Loading initrd.img").

i'm sorry. i meant UTC. UTC is GMT without any daylight savings
shenanigans. when you use local time with daylight savings in the
hardware clock, the operating system tries to adjust the hardware
clock to spring forward and fall back. you can see that dual booting
between multiple operating systems can easily result in double
adjustment.
the solution is to set the hardware clock to UTC and tell the
operating system your timezone so that it can figure out your local
time. linux can do this. windows, including NT, is incapable of
that. sorry.

yes, this may work. i am not sure how to set this up. it would
require connexion to the internet. you could fire off an rdate in a
boot script to set the clocks. there is also some kind of time daemon
to keep a system synch'd. i am not sure about equivalent solutions
for microsoft's operating system.

You just start an install (ftp, http, nfs, whatever) like normal, and choose
the upgrade option when prompted. The option prompt is one of the first
(maybe it is the first?) of the install procedure after you boot from the
boot floppy.

That's a crock, because there most certainly is. You can remove/disable
the /etc/securetty file. This will make root logins work from ANY
telnet session, so use with caution. However, what is wrong with
telneting(sshing?) as your normal user and SUing to root?

The words "format about" are somewhat confusing; maybe

Well, actually they do. Look at the box, and look for "System

Hi.
Have you tried to make a file hidden using dosemu, when it�s on a ext2
partition? it won�t let you. We have an old DOS accounting program we
are using, and i want to transfer it to a linux box. But the program
requires that one of its files in its root dir must be
readonly-hidden-system, or else it puts out an "illegal" error (think
about this heavy copy protection, ha!). I don�t want to put it in a
separated fat partition or a dosemu hdimage, because it grows with
use. Any suggestions to make the file appear as RHS to dosemu while
being in an ext2 partition?

Try asking on comp.unix.aix. Also, IBM has a web site

Which has a LOT of information on the RS/6000 and AIX. Most of the manuals

After trying, and failing a hundred times to use ppp-on etc, I tried

However the /sbin/ifdown ppp0 doesn't work and would appreciate any

Mexico has one of the world's largest populations of billionaires,
and /they/ surely can afford a first-world lifestyle. As a famous
aphorism goes, to get the measure of a society you must look at how
it treats its poorest and most vulnerable members.
First World largely refers to Exploiter nations (eg, USA) and Third
World to their colonies (eg, Mexico, Brazil, Columbia, Saudi Arabia).
Nations like France and Germany also exploit their colonies but no
nation (not even Britain) has ever been as ruthless and callous as
the USA has shown itself to be; the USA achieves in decades the levels
of misery Britain could only impose on India in centuries (now there's
something to be proud of!) Second World refers to nations that are
both exploiter and exploited or neither.
Naturally, when you categorize "objectively" you must put everything
in terms of average incomes or some other convenient conjured up tripe.

Another way would be to tell LILO not to even wait at a prompt but to go
right into the boot sequence. This would prevent, of course, *anyone*
from even going into single user mode, but would provide the *most*
security. With a password protected BIOS that ignores the floppy and
CDROM drive on boot, you'd be good to go.
To get in, one would have to 1) know the BIOS password to change the
BIOS settings, 2) have a special boot floppy with a copy of the kernel
and/or loadlin or something to boot in for system changes. In a school,
this shouldn't be a problem.

Hi Dennis,
I don't know the exact drivers and settings for you specific card,
but sound is globaly setup by compiling it in the kernel. Crystal
Sound is supported for cards that are based on the CS4232 (check
back at the manufacturers homepage) You should compile it into the
kernel recall the settings for configuring PnP with the isapnp
tools. man pnpdump and man isapnp will help a lot.

Somebody asked and someone else answered this one already.
You're stuck with Netmeeting and some of these because they *initiate*
connections to the receiver's IP address. IP chains work because the
sender is behind the firewall. The routing mechanism remembers the
outgoing connection and expects a *response* on the same port or set of
ports for the same protocol. In the case of Netmeeting and FTP and the
like, there isn't anything to tell the firewall that incoming requests
are meant for the specific machine; it thinks they're going to itself.
(Excepting ftp--I do remember seeing firewall modules for it...)
I believe the answer for now is: No go. ...Unless someone else has
written some new stuff. I've tried NetMeeting and VIRC's video chat
stuff too. Can't get anywhere yet.
