Subject: PPP on Lombard PowerBook no longer working
From: "Paul J. Lucas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: 20 Mar 2000 22:00:32 GMT
I'm running on a '99 PowerBook (Lombard). I'm running a kernel
I compiled form 2.2.15 source. My kernel config is attached.
At one point, I had PPP working fine: I saw the output from
'chat' in the logs and it connected.
Now, it no longer works. If I do an strace on pppd, it hangs
on doing a select system call on the file descriptor associated
with the tty device it opens. If I wait a really long time and
then kill the process, I get "select: function not implemented
(38)". Well, this makes sense since that's where it dies, but
I don't know (a) why it's trying to do a select or (b) how to
make it implemented.

Trying out a switch to linux, and I have some frustrations.
How is linux going to be a successful replacement to NT if
I gota RTFM every time I want to do something simple like
install a program. I am trying to setup a ftp server on a RR cable
modem cuz NT/WarFTP isn't doing what I want. So far I finally
got linux installed <what a hastle, I thought NT was picky on hardware>
After that I am trying to figure out how to get on the net let alone install
glftpd and get user accounts setup. From what I have read I gota download
some C code and compile it and then jump through some other hoops
to get my cable modem to work on linux. Of course my provider says
I'm SOL since they do not support linux. So then how difficult is it going
to be to get a linux ftp box up and running. BTW with winblows I could
get my mom to install it and she has never even been on a puter.
thankx for reading....

Neither Linux partition or linux swap partition have to be primary.

Er, how DO you switch workspaces using the keyboard (in WindowMaker)? Did
you have to do any special configuring to enable it?
And, are you able to send an active window to another workspace with just
the keyboard? (these are neat tricks I can pull off on my Litestep PC at
work)

Hi,
I am in the process of installing PostgreSQL 6.5.3 and

ditch x and go tothe directory where you unzipped the file, and
type sh ns-install, and follow the prompts. You wont need to remove
the previous version.

I would have typed
RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
complete with angle brackets and local-part capitalisation (in theory
the local part of an address is case-sensitive). Otherwise there is
a risk that ridingwood tries to deliver to " l.josifovski" (with a
leading space), fails ("No such user"), tries to return the message
to < [EMAIL PROTECTED]>, also fails for the same reason, and
you won't get anything back unless the Postmaster is in a good mood
and sends you a note about this.
I would also have included a To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
header in the test message, but your problem is unlikely to be
due to missing mandatory headers.

Well, switching to another workspace is easy - my WM was configured to
cycle through the workspaces using Ctrl+Alt+right/left-arrow, but you
can, of course change that. If you want to change to a specific
workspace, say Nr. 4, just do alt+4.
change that, if you like, too.

hmmm, that oen I haven't configured on my WM, b/c I DO use the mouse and
actually are not using too many workspaces anyway (usually not more than
3), but I'd be *really* surprised if you couldn't do that with the
keyboard as well...
Oh, and instad of alt-tab, I just discovered that you can hit F11 for a
list of open apps... how cool! :))

I may be wrong as I'm new at this but try going to the command line, cd to
the directory with netscape.ns in and type ./netscape.ns

Subject: WindowMaker + RH6.1: crash during SaveSession
Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2000 22:54:40 GMT
Hello everyone,
I recently upgraded to RH6.1 (from RH6.0). I was running WindowMaker
(that shipped with RH6) and now have migrated to the new version of
WindowMaker that ships with RH6.1
I notice that when I attempt to save my session, it aborts the entire
session with Bug#11
Has anyone come across this problem? I tried removing all my personal
settings by purgin the ~/GNUstep tree structure. I still experience the
same problem when I attempt add another icon to my dock and save the
settings.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.

PS: Is this in anyway related to the fact that the shell definition for
the 'Program' menu does not seem to generate the 'Program' sub-menu (it
works fine when I try the same routine in the command line!
