Subject: Zip drive and kernel 2.2.14
Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2000 22:56:12 GMT
I'm having some problems using my zip drive under kernel 2.2.14. I
have a parallel port zip 100 drive, which I've had no problems with
under 2.2.5-15 (RedHat 6). Under the old kernel, I had to insmod
parport and ppa, and then mount the zip drive. When building the newer
kernel, I'm pretty sure I build parport into the kernel, but I'm not
sure about ppa.
Anyway, I can't get my zip drive to work. Assuming that the two
modules are built into the kernel, I mount my zip drive, which under
2.2.5-15 was at /dev/sd4. I get an error stating that the kernel
doesn't recognize /dev/sd4 as a block device.
Do you have any ideas how I could get my zip drive to work under kernel
2.2.14?
Thanks in advance,
Andy

Subject: zsh and arrow keys
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2000 23:17:17 GMT
I haven't changed anything in my setup recently, but for some reason the
arrow keys no longer work in zsh. For example, the up arrow key usually
scrolls through command history, but if I hit the up arrow key, nothing
happens.
But, if I hit the down arrow key, THEN the up arrow key, I can scroll
through the command history. But the curious thing is that when scrolling
through command history thusly, the cursor sits on the last character of
the command (rather than after the last character). Plus I cannot edit
the commandline by using backspace or what have you.
I noticed today that I can't really do any commandline editing using the
arrow keys. Say I type the following commandline:
mv file1 fle2
And I notice the second parameter is incorrect, I wanted to say
"mv file1 file2". Ordinarily, I'd use the left arrow to back up, and just
insert the missing letter "i". But with zsh acting goofy, when I hit the
left arrow, the last character on the commandline ('2' in this case) gets
deleted, and I can't use the backspace key to delete unwanted characters,
and I also cannot insert any extra characters. So I get frustrated and
try to hit "Ctrl-U" to completely erase the line, and even *that* doesn't
work!
Has anyone seen this? I have no idea why this would just start doing
something this bizarre. I'm running Debian 2.2 (the "frozen" version) and
the version of zsh installed is from the Debian package, 3.1.6.pws19-1.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi,
I want to built my own PC. I am not sure what are the features we
should look in motherboard for Server. In market motherboard ranges from
$80 to $500 which support Pentium III 500 Mhz/133Mhz.
I will be hosting a Website/Nameserver/MailServer.
Please tell me What we should look in a motherboard ?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2000 00:06:05 GMT
I'm setting up a wireless terminal to telnet to a Linux box. This
terminal is a bit slow to get started, so once it has the login prompt
it may take a while for the user to actuall log in. Is it possible to
disable the timeout for the login? Now it waits a short period of time
then drops the telnet connection if no one logs in. Also, I would like
it to keep prompting for a login if an error is made. How is this set?
Thanks!

If you really want a solid system, Intel 440TX motherboard (if I remember
correctly) with two pentium pros 200mhz and you have a nice system... Run
my main server with that motherboard.. PPro chips are expensive, but
worth it in my opinion.

Okay, I found my own answer. Thanks to a dejanews search there was an
indication that Samba was attempting to be started more than one way. This was
a great clue. Another clue was the inetd could be the culprit. Sure enough,
it was. The script to start Samba is in init.d and is the parent for the
symbolically linked script s91smb in the various rc directories. In inetd.conf
was an independent set of lines to start smbd and nmbd. I commented those out
and restarted inetd. Problem solved!
Take care all.

Assuming you are running X, and a PS/2 mouse, and have a link to
/dev/mouse, you'll need to change the "Pointer" section of
/etc/X11/XF86Config to something like this:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "PS/2"
Device "/dev/mouse"
EndSection
Here is the link from /dev/psaux to /dev/mouse on my system. Use "ln -s
/dev/psaux /dev/mouse" to create this link if needed.
jbuchana@zaphod$ ls -l /dev/mouse
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Nov 13 07:14 /dev/mouse ->

That may be an option for some particular ppp configuration tool but it is

This sounds asthough it could be a million things, suppose you've already
checked all the cron jobs, checked that sendmail isn't constantly trying
to send those unsent messages / constantly polling the server to check
for new mail. Is it able to see all of it's memory, have you got a 1K swap
partition, is it updating one of the log files every few seconds, does it do
this on the console or only in X but like I said I'm sure you've checked
all of that stuff, you sound asthough you know what you're doing.
Let us know the outcome.

I used Partition Magic 5 (latest version) to have empty space under the

Linux FDISK and Partition Magic say that there are errors (I can't even
get into PM anymore). This is that PArtition Info (from PM5) tells me.
What can I do? Win98 and Linux both work - but when I try to access
parts of the drive, it says that I'm using a part which isn't

Instead of using "dev/ht0" (which a rewinding tape), use the tape drive as
a non-rewinding device by using "/dev/nht0". If you use the tape as a
rewinding (dev/ht0), the next time you use it, it puts the backup over the
top of the last one.
Look at the man pages for further guidance on using the "mt" command.
There are several things that have to be done in order to manipulate the
tape. But in a nutshell, try the following sequence:
mt -f /dev/nht0 reten # retension the tape first time you use it.
tar xvf /dev/nht0 foo.tar # backs a file or whatever you want to tape.
The tape will
stop when the backup is done
(ans the drive light will
be on). At this point type the
followiing
mt -f /dev/nht0 rewind # this will flush the cache and put an EOF mark
at the end of the file.
you need to keep track of these
because these are used to
position the tape the next time
you use it.
Let say you did the above, the next time you do a backup on the tape you
would do the following
mt -f /dev/nht0 fsf 1 # this will move the tape to the 1st EOF
and the tape will stop
tar xvf /dev/nht0 foo2.tar # put a file on the tape
mt -f /dev/nht0 rewind # put the next EOF and rewinds the tape.
Hope this get you started.

Somehow I was going to bet NYC too -- "If there's a way to
accidentally shoot oneself with that weapon, NYPD are going to find
it" I once heard down there in Kingsport, TN :)

Ok, in Texas everything is bigger, but to call Austin a 'small
town'...

Another thing to look at is a setting in your BIOS. See if you
have a setting called Plug and Play OS. My motherboard does and
it can be set to Yes or No.
I had the same problem with an ISA Sounblaster 64AWE. The above
was set to "Yes" and no matter how I compiled the kernel, I got
the same message. Once I set it to "No", the sound worked the
next time I restarted Linux.
I have a Slackware system.

If you can boot from a kernel floppy, do so and rerun
/sbin/lilo. That may fix the problem.

And how about some info on putting rejected routes back in, so I

can't telnet to it anymore :-|
