I suggest you try using minicom rather than just echoing chars to the
COM port. Try reading the file Serial-HOWTO file which takes you through
the process of setting up a modem. This file should be in /usr/doc/HOWTO
(or you can get the latest one from the Linux Documentation website. The
url for the HTML version is
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Serial-HOWTO.html)
There is a new document there which deals specifically with modems &
will probably be more relevant to your problem..
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Modem-HOWTO.html
This on AFAIK will not be on your machine unless you have updated the
howtos recently

zombie processes are processes that have already terminated and whose
exit code has not been read by the parent process. So what you see in the
process table is more or less only the part, that is waiting to deliver
the exit code. Since they are already dead you cannot kill them again.
However if you want to get rid of those processes, you can kill the
parent process of these. In this case, they get "init" as the new
parent and "init" takes care of all finished children and reads their
exit code. After this, the processes should vanish.

the UNIX Environment" form W. Richard Stevens)

Warning -- I don't use Gnome. However:
Usually programs like Netscape pay attention to Motif's "osfDelete" and
"osfBackSpace" keysyms, which apparently perform "delete character under
cursor" and "destructive backspace". (Garden variety programs like bash,
xterm, emacs, seem to pay attention to the usual "Delete" and "BackSpace"
keysyms.)
I like the key marked "BackSpace" to perform the "destructive backspace"
function, and the key marked "Delete" to generate control-h for the
purposes of emacs and the like, so I put something like this in .xinitrc:
xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = Delete osfBackSpace"
# "keycode 22" is the key labelled "BackSpace"
xmodmap -e "keycode 107 = BackSpace"
# "keycode 107" is the key labelled "Delete"
(and I do "stty erase ^?").

If you are using 640MB MO-disks you cannot format them under linux.
I tried it and formatted the disk using FAT16. Due to an error in
Windows98 each time I tried to use this disk I got a bluescreen.
Formatting the disk under Windows using the formatting tools supplied
by Fujitsu I can use the disks both with linux and Windows.
Therefore I would say it is best to format these disks under Windows.

You're right, somewhat. I would be curious as to the average age of Linux
users. I'm 34. First computer I ever had my hands on was a Commodore PET.
That was a LONG time ago. Right now there are a gazillion Windows users.
How many are over 40 and grew up in a generation that computers DIDN'T exist?
How many users used a computer with Windows for their "virgin" computer
experience?
Thats all they know.
There are a lot of 8 year old's now that are more computer literate than some
50 year olds. My son included.

Nope, your wrong. Kids now have more computer skills than most "windows" users.
I see this now in my local linux user group. A lot of the members are "kids"..
HS'ers, college kids that know thier way around
linux as much as I *WOULD* like to.. Today's kids at 8,9,10-15 that master
Windows are not going to be satisfied with "sh*tty software and OS's.
Linux gives thier minds a chance to grow. I give M$ 10 years max.
They might still be around, but they will be writing apps, not OS's..
Todays kids will certainly make sure that happens.

Subject: auto-mount of /dev/pts in inconsistent between kernels
Date: Fri, 30 Jul 1999 00:13:43 -0400
I have noticed that the device /dev/pts mounts autmatically with some
kernels and only by user-mount with others. This is true even though
/etc/fstab stays the same for /dev/pty.
For simplicity, I'll say I only have two kernels - one is a custom K6
kernel with no modules whatsover, and it includes /dev/pty support and
international crypt support for serpent. The second is another custom
K6 kernel with /dev/pty support, crypt support, and sound support -
this kernel uses modules.
When I boot into the first (no modules) kernel, I get the crypt support
and everything else, including /dev/pty support. I note that /dev/pty
is already mounted as soon as I log on and give the 'mount' command.
When I boot the second kernel (with sound modules) I get sound and
encryption. The /dev/pty is not mounted though. I can simply 'mnt
/dev/pty' and all is fine, so clearly the kernel level setup is okay. I
didn't compile the pty support as modules - they were included with the
kernel.
Can anyone help explain why they don't mount the same? It is a problem
because I wan't to default boot into the second kernel. If I am away it
will startup without pty support and a user who starts X will not be
able to start a terminal.
Thanks,

Pressure from that other proprietary Smalltalk, ObjectShare's
VW Smalltalk, will probably speed the port of VA Smalltalk.
For those that aren't aware, VW Smalltalk for Linux has been
announced, or possibly just preannounced. A lot of MIS style
Smalltalkers like it. If I'm not mistaken ObjectShare intends
to make a splash at a certain upcoming conference. If they do
keep an eye out of 'deployment licensing' (see their
preannoucement, posted to USENET, for previous plans to seek
deployment fees), it hasn't been determined if they will retain
that sort of silliness (but rumblings seem to indicate they
will drop them, though encouragement couldn't hurt).

There might be a bug in netscape, but the real problem is in X.
Netscape is just a user level program -- this should never be able
to crash your system. The X server has root privileges -- and
uses those to access your hardware. And there is the problem --
a bug in the X server makes your computer (or console only) to
hang.

Same here. I can't remeber what year, must have been 1981 or 1982. What
processor did the PET have, and how much memory did it have? It seems
like it was like the 64, with Microsoft Basic built in, embedded like.

I'm 30, and started using Linux in 1995. But from 1997 on, I'd been using
FreeBSD almost exclusively. It'd be interesting to have someone take a
survey on a web site. I think a quick guestimation would be that the
average age of FreeBSD users are 10 years greater than those of Linux
users.
It would be interesting to do a survey, and compare the age of FreeBSD vs.
Linux users, complete with mean and std. deviation.

No real solution (besides journalling files systems with lower
performance)
seems possible here. However, for systems which should be able to run
unattended, or which do not have a skilled sys admin available, the
Linux behaviour mentioned above is not appropriate. There should
be an option that during booting it just continues with fsck --
without asking ANY questions. Just perform more actions guessing
reasonable answers (perhaps logging what is done, and make it so
that wrong guessed answers can be corrected later (after booting.))
Yes, this will mean that you sometimes will loose some data.
Yes, this will mean that the system will be a lot more useable
in the situations I mentioned above.

According to 'man bru' there is an option called -X that triggers the
use of the bruxpat file. I use the version that came with Red Hat 5.0
and when I try to use that option bru tells me that the option isn't
recognized. I don't know if -X is supported in PE or if this is a bug.
Perhaps you need the professional version of bru in order to get -X to
work.

The new version can't even play QuickTime movies either...the video
keeps stopping for long periods of time.

Subject: kernel 2.2.10 isofs bug?

Hello
I have recently upgraded my standard RedHat6.0
distribution (2.2.5-15) to kernel 2.2.10ac12.
I am now unable to access my CD-ROM. It is an
IDE/ATAPI device and is recognised successfully by
Linux, but trying to mount the CDROM, results in a
'bad inode' error.
Details are as follows:
Hardware: PII350, Intel T440BX MoBo, SAMSUNG
CD-ROM SCR-3231, ATAPI CDROM drive (hdb)
in compiling the kernel, the following config
options were set:
#
# Block devices
#
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE is not set
...
#
# Filesystems
#
# CONFIG_QUOTA is not set
CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS=y
# CONFIG_ADFS_FS is not set
# CONFIG_AFFS_FS is not set
# CONFIG_HFS_FS is not set
CONFIG_FAT_FS=m
CONFIG_MSDOS_FS=m
CONFIG_UMSDOS_FS=m
CONFIG_VFAT_FS=m
CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=m
CONFIG_JOLIET=y
# CONFIG_MINIX_FS is not set
CONFIG_NTFS_FS=m
/etc/fstab:
======
...
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
ext2 noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
iso9660 user,noauto,ro 0 0
...
on typing:"mount /dev/cdrom" the following appears
in /var/log/messages:
Jul 28 16:26:18 gollach1 kernel: hdb: command
error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error
}
Jul 28 16:26:18 gollach1 kernel: hdb: command
error: error=0x50
Jul 28 16:26:18 gollach1 kernel: end_request: I/O
error, dev 03:40 (hdb), sector 108
Jul 28 16:26:18 gollach1 kernel: ISOFS: unable to
read i-node block
Jul 28 16:26:18 gollach1 kernel: isofs_read_super:
root inode not initialized
Jul 28 16:26:19 gollach1 kernel: ATAPI device hdb:
Jul 28 16:26:19 gollach1 kernel: Error: Illegal
request -- (Sense key=0x05)
Jul 28 16:26:19 gollach1 kernel: Illegal mode
for this track or incompatible medium --
(asc=0x64, ascq=0x00)
While the console reports the standard:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock
on /dev/cdrom, or too many mounted file systems
I am able to mount /dev/fd0, and am also able to
mount all CDs when I boot into kernel2.2.5-15.
Is this a known bug, or have I made an error in my
kernel configuration?
Thanks for any assistance
Mark
