Kev,
I see this all the time. I just kinda live with it. Ive been intending on
trying Gaim -- the GTK-AIM, just has not been a priority.
There are a few linux-AIM clients. However, im not sure how many still work
after the whole AOheLl Vs. M$ thing :) (really -- I could care less, IMHO)

How do they make such a charge? They cannot make it and be in compliance
with the GPL. You might send the details, including the full evidence

Again submit your request to them for source code and their response to
that request to Linus. Note that they are entitled to do that for
programs which they themselves have written or others have written
without the opensource idea. There is not requirement
that any program which uses Linux also has to be under the GPL (many are
not). However those sections which are under the GPL do need their
source code to be available.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have been trying to get ESD working the way I understand it to for a
few days... From what I understand, I load the esd daemon, then
ESD-enabled software can use it for audio, and non-ESD enabled software
can use esddsp to route through the daemon, all at the same time. So I
could have mpg123 playing mpg's, my ip-up script playing a sound to let
me know it connected, and Licq making funky noises to alert me to a new
message.
But it doesn't work that way, unless I have something wrong.. I am
using 0.2.8 and use KDE.
esd -nobeeps &
esddsp gqmpeg &
esdplay somesample.wav
The esdplay procsess sits there without playing or exiting. esddsp play
sample.wav doesn't work either, does the same thing.
However, two esddsp qgmpeg's running play simulataneously, as I just
tried. And I just tried 'esddsp esdplay sample.wav' and it worked.
Hmmm.. Why is the wrapper required for esdplay?
While I'm asking, do I have to use esddsp for everything with sounds,
such as Netscape, etc..?
Thanks.

I'll remember that. I've run several fractals which, even at 1024x768
have taken several days to generate. Compared to (for my setup, at any
rate) about a second and a half to download the .gif, this makes my mind
boggle.
Assuming 3 days and 3 seconds, your method is 86,400 times less
efficient. Let me guess; you're an advocate of single-user, single-

Silly me; I thought Linux was being touted (by the hypsters, at least)
as the Windows Killer - the latest and greatest desktop OS for the
masses, the one that'll wipe MS out (or at least give them some

Hi,
I have a strange situation on one of my machines running slackware 3.5
kernal 2.0.34.
When the w command is used I get the normal list of users and in the
uptime section at the top
I get an extra 2 users which don't seem to be online. ie 6 users are
shown to be online from th w
command but the uptime section at the top says 8 users. When using the
who command you can see these
extra 2 users who seem to be ghosts ie the tty lines they occupy according
to who are not occupied
according to the process list and I know they aren't logged in anyways.
It seems the utmp file is a little messed
up. Anyone know how to get rid of the 2 ghost logins?

the setting of those files. the problem I am having is setting the

then submit them. when it is submitted, therules are supposed to be set
but since the web server is running under the user/group nobody/nobody,
it won't allow the script to work. Is there a way that a script can

Of course they probably also got cracked. In fact you might get a

Yeah, any one of them is possible. I don't really care about the reason for
disconnection. My problem is that I often cannot reconnect, unless I log out
then back in.

Subject: [Q] On pppd, /etc/ppp/ip-up, Dynamic DNS
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 1999 11:30:13 -0400
Hi,
I am able to connect my AMD K6-2 400Mhz that runs on a SuSE-6.2 distro
to the Internet through a local dialup using KPPP. When I looked at the
/var/log/messages file, I found some strange things regarding the ppp
connection as follows:
Sep 8 10:57:36 abc modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module
ppp-compress-24
Sep 8 10:57:36 abc pppd[7944]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up started (pid
7948)
Sep 8 10:57:36 abc pppd[7944]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up finished (pid
7948), status = 0x0
Sep 8 10:58:06 abc pppd[7944]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x1
magic=0x21d638c1]
Sep 8 10:58:06 abc pppd[7944]: rcvd [LCP EchoRep id=0x1 magic=0x0]
Sep 8 10:58:36 abc pppd[7944]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x2
magic=0x21d638c1]
Sep 8 10:58:36 abc pppd[7944]: rcvd [LCP EchoRep id=0x2 magic=0x0]
Sep 8 10:59:06 abc pppd[7944]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x3
magic=0x21d638c1]
Sep 8 10:59:06 abc pppd[7944]: rcvd [LCP EchoRep id=0x3 magic=0x0]
The questions I have are as follows:
1. Why the message "modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-24"
appeared when pppd is established?
2. What are those sent [LCP ... and rcvd [LCP ... messages? Should I
worry about them?
3. I noticed that pppd exec's the /etc/ppp/ip-up script. This is why I
modified my /etc/ppp/ip-up script to accomodate the need to update some
dynamic DNS servers. Below is stripped version of my /etc/ppp/ip-up
script:
:
.
case "$BASENAME" in
ip-up)
:
.
/sbin/route add default gw $REMOTEIP dev $INTERFACE
:
.
# Here is the added code to update dynamic DNS servers
/home/local/bin/ddup --host abc.DynDNS.org # <=== dyndns.org
/home/local/bin/jlclient.pl -u # <=== justlinux.com
ip-down)
# delete dns entry (go offline) for justlinux.com
#
/home/local/bin/jlclient.pl -d
:
.
The above script should work and the dynamic DNS servers should show my
new IP when requested. However, when I "ping abc.DynDNS.org", it just
sit there. And, when checked with nslookup, the IP address remained the
same as the old one. This means the dynamic DNS servers did not get
updated. If I did "/home/local/bin/ddup --host abc.DynDNS.org" and
"/home/local/bin/jlclient.pl -u" as root at the shell, the dynamic DNS
servers responded. "ping abc.DynDNS.org" works and nslookup gives the
current IP address. This means that there is something wrong with my
/etc/ppp-ip-up script that the dynamic DNS scripts did not get
executed. I certainly will appreciate if anyone can please shed
somelight on how to use the /etc/ppp/ip-up to automatically update to
the dynamic DNS servers?
TIA.

The notation scheme results in "sz" used for many names (null terminated
strings). The Hungarian language itself has many words and names with
"sz". I would bet this had an influence, as it would have made the variable
names kinda look like some form of Hungarian prose to someone who did not
know Hungarian, but noted all the "sz" strings around.
Words beginning with "sz" are common enough in Hungarian. Some examples:
szemantika semantics
szintaxis syntax
szoftver software
szorzat product
szubrutin subroutine

Youprobably did not use the little scroll bar beside those names tosee
the other possibilities. At least under WP8 there are certainly Word
possibilities. Whether or not they work is another matter.
I have tried to convert to and from Word 2 format. Most of thetime
converting from Word 2 does not work, while converting to gives some
weird problems (eg double quote marks are different at the beginning
from the end, and the beginning ones almost always get totally messed
up.)

This is not about efficiency, but about being considerate towards
other people. *You*'re the one with the single-user mentality here.
Computational power is yours alone, if your computer computes, no load
is put on other people's machines. However, the bandwidth you waste
downloading a 1024x768 image from the Net is shared with other people.
Nu?

If you run the old kernel 2.0.36, you need the first version. If you run the new

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I just came across my favorite old hack on my Amiga today, Walking Man.
Basically, it puts N number of tiny little stickmen who walk around on
the screen on a certain color, they can climb, jump, parachute, sit down
(dangling their legs) and if it gets dark around them, they turn on
their flashlight. And they do something else that's funny, but I can't
remember what it is.
Anyone from the Amiga scene remember it? The source code, in Mann C, is
available on Aminet, search for walkingman. I wouldn't have a clue how
to port it, I suppose it shouldn't be that hard, although maybe the
graphics routines would need rewriting.
I had a great time watching those little guys, maybe someone can fix up
the old code and get it running on Linux.. :)
In the meanwhile, I think I'll put it on a disk, and transfer it to
UAE.. :)

Subject: Two internal modem and a serial mouse, how can I make them to work?
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 1999 13:11:17 -0400
I'm using Linux Mandrake 6.0. Standard serial dum driver was built into
the kernel.
The serial mouse uses ttyS0, USR uses ttyS1 and the Zoom, ttyS2. The
mouse and USR
are using standard settings. Each time the system boot, the settings are
automatically the
following, ignoring my line in rc.local, which read "setserial
/dev/ttyS2 irq 2 port 0x3e8
uart 16550":
Device Special irq port
mouse ttyS0 4 3f8
USR ttyS1 3 2f8
Zoom ttyS2 4 3e8
apparently there is a conflict in IRQ. According to the Zoom manual,
when you use
com 3, the irq should be 2. After the system comes up, I'll do manually
the line in
rc.local, and it seems to take effect, and I can use the zoom modem on
ttyS2. This
is not the end of the story yet. If I just need to do this each time
manually, it will be
fine. When I logout, the mouse pointer freezes, and keyboard keys
doesn't execute
the button function. Hard (abnormal) reboot will result in file system
check, which
will fail in most of the case and drop me to a shell to manually do the
fsck. Sometime
the check succeed, which take 15 minutes.
To be a system administrator, I wouldn't like to abanden one of the
modem to solve
