Sadly not, it was a much smaller conference in London - Linux the Way

No ideas on the general case, but, since it's Angband, if you kill
it, it should make a panic save.

You can run a postmortem debugger on them and find out what
created them. The syntax is:
gdb --core core
issued after cd'ing to the directory containing the core.

Highly unlikely your going to be able to do this. If the parent process
had stack and other info there probably won't be alot to see even if you
could. You might look through the code to see if will respond to any
signals for debugging or the like. You might be able to determine some
other things from a truss type program also.

/etc/syslog.conf controls where logging gets sent to.
Edit that file.
pppd uses the daemon facility and chat uses the local2 facility.

I have a weird problem with one of the mingetty processes that is running.
So far it's not really disturbing, but I'd like it to run correctly.
Sometimes mingetty doesn't handle CR anymore and prints them as ^M. This
way I can't login on the terminal in question. I've tried kill the
process, but that does help. Anyone knows how to fix this?

What, exactly, do you need to do?
Removing Linux is just the same as removing any other OS. If you've
installed LILO to the MBR, boot to another OS and "fdisk /mbr". After that,
you can format the partition to another FS type, delete and re-create the
partition (FDisk, Partition Magic, etc..), or just tell the other distro of
Linux you're installing that you do, in fact, want to format the partition.
When installing SuSE 6.0 while I had 5.2 installed, it asked me if I'd like
to abort, upgrade the existing installation, or format the partition and
start from scratch.
Most OS's (WinDOS excluded "Please wait while I format your hard drive..")
will confirm.

You too, huh? I've got exactly the same problem (same hardware, same
software) and I've been busting my brains out all morning searching for
a
fix. The solution seems to involve patching serial.c in the 2.2
kernel, but there is a kludgy work-around if you are satified to use the
modem and ethernet seperately.
The following is a quote from a message that I found at the Linux-Xircom
support group at:
http://hyper.stanford.edu/HyperNews/get/pcmcia/xircom.html
Running SuSE 6.1 on a HP Omnibook 4150
I can use the Xircom CEM56 modem/eth10/100 card.
With the initial setup I can load network fine,
but the serial stuff (modem) won't work.
But if I disable the modem part in /etc/pcmcia/config, like this:
card "Xircom CEM56 Ethernet/Modem Card"
version "Xircom", "*", "CEM56"
# bind "xirc2ps_cs", "serial_cs"
bind "serial_cs"
modem works just fine, but of course ethernet doesn't ...
The details of the kernel patch are somewhere in the last 20 messages or
so... I haven't tried it yet, but the kludge DOES manage to get the
modem
working.

I know, I was referring to download times. On a 28.8 connection, the
difference between 7 megs and 2 megs is quite signifigant.
BTW - Window Maker also includes a handfull of themes, several icons, and
backgrounds. Quite frankly, (if you are a KDE developer), you should
seperate the extraneous from the KDE base package. A web browser?!

Hi,
Are you sure that a such script exists ?
I wonder how it will guess your passwd !
If it exists, is would not be a simple script : it would need a private clear

Sorry for the answer but sincerly, I think that if a such script exists, it's
not a ggod idea to use it !

One final alternative would be to see if there's an ntp client available
for Windows, and run either xntpd or ntpd on the linux machine. The
samba option is the only one which won't require any additional software
on the windows side, since Win9x has a "NetBIOS" time facility which
presumably samba supports.

Subject: Printer Stops - PostScript Error?
Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 21:37:41 GMT
Hi!
This is a hard one, because it is perhaps a Linux-Ghostcript and perhaps
an IDL-PostScript problem. I hope there is some overlap of both
communities ;)
I try to print a multiplot color postscript file generated by IDL 5.2
for Linux on my Epson Stylus Color 640 with the aid of ghostscript.
(I use the uniprint epson 600 driver with 1440x720 resolution).
The printer starts printing, but after about 1/3 of the page is
completed (depending on the exact size of the file) the printer hangs
being "busy" without further error messages (because ghostscript stops,
too (?)). I have to turn it off.
The actual part that has been printed is perfectly alright.
I can print some IDL PostScript files and they come out fine.
I've already tried out if the number of polygons in the file is the
problem by printing out a contour and shade_surf plot of a 300x300 array
of random numbers (that gives a 7.7MB ps-file).
As expected, I get the usual message:
% Number of Polygon vertices exceeds limit for some PostScript printers.
but the printout works fine.
The idl commands:
!P.MULTI = [0,2,2]
SET_PLOT, "PS"
DEVICE, FILENAME = '/home/amir/pstest.ps', COLOR = 1
DEVICE, XSIZE = 18, YSIZE = 20, XOFFSET = 1.25, YOFFSET = 6
CONTOUR, randomnumberarray, /FILL, NLEVELS = 32
SHADE_SURF, randomnumberarray
DEVICE, /CLOSE_FILE
SET_PLOT, "X"
Again, this works.
And the commands for setting the postscript device in the "faulty" file
code are exactly the same (except for what is plotted, which is rather
complex, but gives a much smaller file, around 200KB).
I also know for shure that the files I'd like to print SHOULD be ok,
because:
1) I've printed these files on a PostScript printer in a Unix
environment, and
2) I can have a look at them on my own computer with ghostview (meaning
that ghostscript probably works and doesn't have general complaints).
I can print out truly large files, too, something like 30 MB raster
graphics, no problem.
The printing commands I use:
# lpr /data5/PS/y02_d_ch1_2dtc.ps
and as long as the printer prints lpq gives
# lpq
lp is ready and printing
Rank Owner Job Files Total Size
active amir 25 /data5/PS/y02_d_ch1_2dtc.ps 178312
bytes
the processes invoked by lpr are:
1.) bash /var/spool/lpd/lp/filter -w132 -l66 -i0 -n amir -h
wimp.ucsf.edu
2.) sh /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters//ps-to-printer.fpi
3.) gs -q -sDEVICE=uniprint -r1440x720 -sPAPERSIZE=letter -dNOPAUSE
-dSAFER -sOutputFile=- @stc600ih.upp -
these three jobs just stop after a while and remain in that state
infinitely until I terminate them manually.
My System: RH-5.2-Linux, Kernel 2.2.9, ghostscript 5.10.
Does anyone have a clue?
If someone's interested in the actual ps-file for debugging the epson
driver, it's only 30KB when gzipped, just ask for it, or the idl code.
thanx,
Amir

Mutt can handle html, for particular definitions of "handle". For instance,
