Reply-To: David Guertin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi folks,
I'm trying to send the X display from a new SGI system ("newsgi") to
a remote Linux box ("linuxbox"). On the Linux box, I type
'xhost +newsgi'. Confirming with 'xhost' shows:
INET:oldsgi
INET:newsgi
INET:localhost
INET:linuxbox
LOCAL:
Yet, when I try to start up an X program on the SGI, e.g. xterm, the
connection is refused:
newsgi 3% xterm
Xlib: connection to "linuxbox:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
Error: Can't open display: linuxbox:0
Any other system, including other SGI systems (e.g. "oldsgi") can
connect OK. So what's up with this new system? Is there a file
somewhere on linuxbox that might be restricting access to certain
subnets, perhaps?
Thanks,

FWIW - I just installed SuSE Linux 6.1 on a K6-2 350 on a TXPRO-II (yes a PC
CHIPS board), and it seems fine. I let YaST do the all the stuff, I just
chose the defaults and boom - I have a beautiful KDE desktop.

I'm not really all that upset, I'm just really new to this. Plus I'm a bit
perturbed that a book for dummies doesn't tell you what to do if you don't
have the server for your video card (maybe I should just go buy a new one).

I do that and it doesn't do anything (unless there's something that you
want me to, remember, I know nothing of Linux), but I got rid of the virual
thing by editing the XF86Config file and putting # in front of the Virtual
commands. I still run into problems here and there with that though, but
not terrible.

O.K. I'm not sure what that does, but I think it's telling me that my
modem is on cua2 because it says something to the affect of: there's a
symbolic link to /dev/cua2.
So I'm hoping to find help with getting on-line without using Xwindows
later today. Any more help would be greatly appreciated (like with my
sound card, but I think there are groups out there that solved the problem,
and once I get on-line via Linux, I might be able to figure it out). Thank

Many PC's have options in their CMOS SETUP for changing the keyboard
repeat rate and the delay before repeat begins. This seems the best way
to do it because you then don't need to run an extra program to set it.

If you were the one who performed the installation, then it should
have asked you to supply a new password at some point. The password
you gave at that point is the root password.
Otherwise, single-user mode, as an earlier post has pointed out.

Hi guys - I have a question for you.
I had one of those Sound Blaster PnP sound cards. I just bought an
AWE64 sound card, but now I can't get sndconfig to work or anything like
that. At boot up, the sb.o drive module reports that something is busy
and thus cannot load the module. "sndconfig" says that no sound module
support was compiled in (though it was).
I'm running RH6/x86.
Please reply in email.

You can start the system in single user mode. At the LILO prompt type:
linux single
When it finishes you will have a shell as root already logged in. You
can then run the fsck command as:
fsck /dev/hda7
When finished type:
exit
The machine will continue to start up - in some cases you may need to
reboot. On second thoughts this is perhaps the safest option. Do a
<ctrl><alt><delete> rather than the exit to shut the machine down
properly.
When running the above shell you could set the password for root to
anything you like assuming the current holder of the root password won't
mind. ;-)

This worked fine for me. I did not do this exactly. I copied .vmware
to /root and tried to use it as root. It did not work before but it did
work after.

Well,
I spoke to soon.
I had to reinstall again.
Why when I re-built the sqlplus because of the lib problem
svrmgrl failed to work due to the same probelm.
So I copied the sqlplus executable to another dir
(kept it safe) and reinstalled again.
copied over the old sqlplus executable and now it all works.
listener, svrmgrl, and sqlplus too, I think all the rest does
what other oracle apps can I try to test the new install out
any ideas ?
Many thanks

But you bring up an interesting dichotomy: It's not much money for
this bit of consumer candy, you say, and although you detest the urge,
you'll find yourself going for it, anyway.
Don't take offense: I'm not saying that you, specifically are "under
the spell." But I think that you've put your finger on one aspect of
MS' marketing muscle that has been so successful for all these
years. You may hate the man who's offering you the candied apple, but
after all, it's just a candied apple, and it looks so good...

Killing Linux? I don't think so... Perhaps OS/2 might have been a
better example (but IBM did a nice turn of "the gang that couldn't
shoot straight" when it really mattered there, too). And, I think,
WordPerfect has a good bit of breath left in it, too.

What happened to that patch? The URL has disappeared.
One wonders what makes it so "hard" to fit a few Mb big /boot partition
entirely within the first 1024 cylinders, when just one or two cylinders
would be enough for that partition. If this is not possible you can still
put the contents of the /boot partition into a mounted fat32 or fat16
file system, run lilo, and the lilo loader will be happy. That is, as
long as you don't allow defrag to move the boot components, for example by
making these files system and hidden. If you also put a copy of loadlin
on the fat file system you can still load linux after defrag has moved
those files and then rerun the lilo once booted to make lilo happy again.

If you've downloaded the executables by FTP, you may not have the execute

chmod a+x executable_name
then running it.
