Subject: problem with netscape over xdm
Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2000 18:05:43 -0800
Hi,
I have xdm running on my linux RH6.0 box.
One of my users connects using xdmcp from an NCD terminal.
Everything is fine except that when she sometimes calls up netscape,
the following problem arises:
=====================================
I continue to have trouble running netscape on the terminal
here. It complains that it is trying to create multiple
XmDisplays for the same X display:
Class: XmDisplay
Creating multiple XmDisplays for the same X display. Only the
first XmDisplay created for a particular X display can be referenced
by calls to XmGetXmDisplay
And just before it dies, it prints this error message:
Name: netscape-communicator
Class: XmDisplay
_MOTIF_DRAG_WINDOW has been destroyed
=======================================
I am using XFree86-3.3.5-1.6.0 and netscape-4.72-6.
Does anyone have any ideas what's wrong?
Thanks,
Eugenio

What tends to get put there are the things that would be on a CD, with
the same directory structures and such, albeit rooted at the FTP site,
rather than on your CD-ROM.
There are some distributions where it would be reasonable to download
some critical portions to get the installation started, and then the
system can "install itself" the rest of the way by looking for data on
web sites. (Debian comes particularly to mind here.)
But it is very probable that you'd rather get a CD, and thus have
~660MB of stuff that can be rapidly loaded from a CD rather than
having to pull it, at a snail's pace, over the Internet.

There are many opinions on this, and no unambiguous answers.
In the case of comparing Corel's release to Red Hat's, Red Hat has
somewhat more development tools, if you care about that, whilst Corel
has *somewhat* friendlier installation tools.
Although, on the "friendliness" side, all the "commercially-oriented"
distributions (e.g. - Red Hat, SuSE, TurboLinux, Caldera, Mandrake,
Corel, Stormix) have been working hard on improving this, and the
latest versions of any of them are likely easier to get installed than
*anybody's* previous-generation version. It's a standard sort of
"leap-frogging" that takes place in any area of rapid development; the
*worst* system next month is likely to be better than the *best* one
was last month...
If you add some of the following lines, on Corel, to the file
/etc/apt/sources.list, you will be able to locate, using the
installation tool, a whole lot more software that may be added on than
there is with Red Hat's "boxed set." Similar would be true for
Stormix, which, like Corel Linux, is directly based on the Debian
distribution.

In contrast, while Red Hat Linux, SuSE, TurboLinux, Mandrake Linux,
LinuxOne :-), and probably others, are all based on the same RPM
package management tool, you *cannot* expect packages built for one of
'em to necessarily work on any other...
Some of the info at the URL below might also be helpful.
Note that you could always try multiple distributions. There are
vendors such as LinuxCentral, CheapBytes, amongst others, that sell
CDs that contain the bulk of each distribution for the
not-overly-princely sum of $2. You could order five of them
for $10, add a book for $20, and have the opportunity to try out
several of them for about $35.
If you want to learn a lot, as quickly as possible, you might try
installing Slackware, the most "hands-on" of the bunch, and
essentially stress it to the fracturing point, installing additional
software, whether by hand, or via automated tools, and fiddling with
the configuration in the interim. Plan to reinstall, *from scratch,*
multiple times.
Note that there are some *good* strategies for preserving the contents
of some filesystems. I'd suggest having at least 3 partitions:
a) Something for "root" --> / [Often there may also be good logic to
setting up partitions for /usr, /var, /opt]
These partitions get "nuked" when you do a re-install.
b) One for swap space
c) One for /home, where user data would go. [Often /usr/local would
be also created for "user programs".]
These partitions should be preserved if/when you re-install.
By having this separation, you can reinstall Linux, which will "nuke"
whatever is on "root" aka "/", but leave some areas alone.
I have scripts that daily backup critical configuration from places
like /etc into a directory on /home, and I do periodic backups of
everything on /home onto a CD.

... And while this puts them ahead of starving Somalians, this does
not establish that they are not poor.
What it *does* establish is that the cost of providing two things,
namely:
- Manufactured goods, and
- Electricity
have dropped to the point that they are not economic barriers.
Thirty years ago, having those commodities was an indicator of being
"reasonably well-to-do." Today, it's not; someone can be living in a
roach-infested hovel and have them all.
I'd count "quality of real estate" as the critical indicator of the
level of poverty; it is a better indicator than the other items.

You're not going to find "ability to read/write Excel files" outside
of the options you found "too heavy."
You should add to the "possible" list Teapot; it's not much maintained
lately, but "groks" WKS (Lotus 123) files, and has seemed pretty
stable.
The text-based packages should be "overly challenged" by the memory
constraints, BUT. You may find their graphics capabilities a mite
limiting.
I think the requirements that you've specified (notably - happy in
24MB RAM, with the ability to read/write Excel files) rule out there
being any possible options.

Yes, Linux is free. Well, I rather say you can have it at no charge. Here is
how it goes:
If you have access to a good connection (cable at least !) and a CD burner,
download the .iso of RedHat 6.1 Go to:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/redhat-6.1/iso/
and get 6.1-i386.iso for 642 MB (I assume you have an Intel-type PC).
Burn it and you have your distribution absolutely free. I would recommend,
while you are there to go
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/updates/6.1/
and download all the noarch and i386 updates. Finally, get some useful
software at:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/powertools/6.1/
in the noarch and i386 directories.
There is also an update directory for powertools. Check the updates
regularly.
Depending on where you are, you have advantage to download form a mirror.
Browse their location here:
http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html
Welcome to the Linux world ;-))

Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2000 22:17:47 -0500
Hi y'all,
I re-installed RH 6.1 (kernel 2.2.12-20) last weekend on my K6-2 box. After
installing all the updates, I decided to re-build my good ole kernel.
Anyway, on a text console, I followed the regular procedure; make mrproper,
make menuconf, make dep clean bzImage. This is when the problem occurred.
The compilation stops brutally in the middle of the process. After
re-installing (rpm -Uvh --force) the kernel-headers and kernel-source
packages, I recompiled again, and, blah ! It stopped again. I am pasting the
error message below. I am not very confortable with this kind of output so I
copied the whole screen and there might be too much information, I don't
know. The thing is that I have no clue what that missing 'as86' does, is
supposed to do, relates to, etc. I can't find any docs on it. I'm totally
lost.. I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Even then, they have hot water and heating -- things that you may take
for granted, but are not available to many people.
I'd agree that housing costs in the US are fairly high.
However, housing costs do not rise in direct proportion to the number of
people sharing an apartment/house, so those housholds with very low
income per head ( ie those with dependents ) will not be hit as hard.

Even if that's your yardstick, it's pretty good in the US.
IMO, the biggest problem with "quality of real estate" is that a lot of
places have high crime rates.

You can get the output to go to a file eg:
$ ls -hal > MyDir.txt
this puts the directory listing into a file in the current
directory called MyDir.txt.
To execute a file, say that same file (it won't do anything
as it doesn't contain any commands just a directory listing),
put the following in the script:
sh ./MyDir.txt
you can get input to a command from a file by using < FileName.XXX
Hope this helps, there's also a manpage on bash which gives
you extensive information:
man bash
Hope some of this helps.

The kernel source code Configure.help file says:

and also:

For Linux-the-operating-system to support APM, support has to be compiled
into the kernel, and the daemon "apmd" must be running. It sounds like you
have one error message for each of these parts.
If your system doesn't care about APM, then these error messages are
probably harmless.

Maybe, but it won't do anything. You might get by with that if you try to
install RH 5.2, because it takes much less space, and is more suited to
486s. You'll have to choose packages VERY carefully, and stick with only ONE

You really should get a copy of

I had the same problem, until I went through the diagnostics the author
suggested. Hint: you probably need to add a few lines to your
