Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2000 20:25:30 GMT
Bought a new $14 LinkSys NC100 card for RH 6.1 It is not detected upon the
install. I tried insmod tulip, but it said "device or resource" busy, which
I interpreted as a negative sign. Should I return it, and spring for the
$24 or even the big kahuna $29 model?
Once I get them, do I just try the insmod tulip again?
I am not wedded to LinkSys, so other suggestions are welcome.

Subject: Linux GUI query
Hi Folks,
What choices are there for Linux GUIs?
I know about KDE and XFree86; are there any others?
Is there any appreciable difference in application support
for the various GUIs?
Further, is there any work going on to define a common
GUI API to which application developers could write
and which would leave the actual GUI a user choice?
Pointers, links, references would be appreciated...

Hi Andreas,
That picture, in all probability, is produced by your printer
because it received a postscript file with bugs in it.
The problem is that the postscript driver of Staroffice is
buggy. It produces non-standard postscript that some printers
cannot understand. On my lexmark, for example, what happens
is that the first page prints correctly and then a page
of ascii garbage comes out.
The way to get around this is to first use Staroffice
to print to a file, and then to use a filter (like ps2ps,
included with ghostscript) to clean up the postscript.
For example, say you printed your document to a file
called print.ps. You would use the following steps
to print your file:
prompt % ps2ps print.ps print_clean.ps
prompt % lpr print_clean.ps
There is another problem that you will come across when you
try to use mpage or psnup to create a "preview" print, consisting
of 2 or 4 mini-pages in each printed page (say for presentations).
The way to get around this is to convert the staroffice output
to level-1 postscript prior to using mpage, using the following
steps:
prompt % ps2ps print.ps print_clean.ps
prompt % ps2ps -dLanguageLevel=1 print_clean.ps print_level1.ps
prompt % mpage -4 print_level1.ps > foo.ps
prompt % lpr foo.ps
Hope this helps..
George.

You need to be more specific, what error messages etc...
Do this as root:
adduser thanson dialout [assuming you are a user thanson on a linux box]
and
adduser thanson dip
reboot now, log in as thanson and try to connect.
gunzip and untar in just one step: [without - in front of options]
tar zxvf your_file.tar.gz [z option calls gunzip]
usually will extract files in /your_file directory.
or step by step:
1. gunzip your_file.tar.gz
2. tar xvf your_file.tar
Do the same with *.tgz files.
You should find out yourself how to create *tar.gz and *.tgz

Read the man page for rpm, paying particular attention to the --force and
--nodeps options to it. If the application doesn't work after you try
this, then don't blame rpm or blame the package; it means the correct
libraries are not actually installed. HTH, bonne chance.

But at the same time on the NSFD server i get the following message on
the console:

and sometimes the acc and error number are a little different. The
server is not used alot so when it is the screen is full of these error
messages. Everything works fine (i.e. i can access the exported
directory no problem on the clients) but this error message is bugging
me. Is it a known bug?

There's a good chance you need updated Tulip drivers. They can be obtained
from:
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/tulip-devel.html
Alternatively, kernel 2.2.14 includes the updated drivers by default, so
you could download and compile that kernel.

No, I think your slackware upgrade left the old a.out versions of
portmap, etc in place, but the kernel slackware gives you doesn't have
a.out support compiled in, or the module to load a.out executables is
missing, or maybe even the a.out libraries are gone. Try reinstalling
or switch distributions - who knows what else is wrong with your setup?
(you can verify if i'm wrong by doing 'file /usr/sbin/rpc.portmap'
and see if it's a.out, then try 'ldd /usr/sbin/portmap'. You could
also look in /etc/conf.modules for lines like this:L
alias binfmt-204 binfmt_aout
alias binfmt-263 binfmt_aout
alias binfmt-264 binfmt_aout
alias binfmt-267 binfmt_aout
and make sure that the binfmt_aout is somewhere in your modules
directory. Or save yourself grief and switch distributions!

Hi,
We need a new powerful server for our new website. We are considering
to use Cubix Y model. Does anyone have experience with that? The
following is my company's requirement:
System we need:
1. Load balancing
2. High availability
3. Fault tolerant
4. Fail over
5. Cluster
Software:
1. Turbo Linux cluster server 4.0 (6.0?)
2. Front end using Apache web server and PHP script language
3. Back end using MySQL
Hardware:
1. 2 load balancing server(Celeron)
2. 2 Pentium III single processor board (running apache and php)
3. 2 Dual Pentium III board(running MySQL)
Questions:
1. If to use RAID, does all systems(boards) share the same RAID or each
computer has its own RAID?
2. How can we configure second IP under fail over situation? For example,
one from a dedicated line and other using DSL. How about DNS?
3. What is the capacity of such system?
4. How can we upgrade if needed?

Well, *creating* this directory won't do you any good if it wasn't there
already. Check which is the default directory for your WM's themes.
locate Themes/ | more
then install the new themes into that directory...

Another idea: floppy disk drives are cheap (EUR 20 or so). You can

No need to laugh at this, it works in Vi.
I referred to Vim because Vim is shipped with the script, I don't know

bleh! I believe I already responded on that thread, but anyway -- I
currently have Linux installed on a 500Mb partition on the 2nd disk of
a P75 machine, 32Mb RAM. The swap is really tiny (at most 32Mb, can't
tell for sure right now that I'm not in front of it). I run afterstep
on it and browse the web with Netscape while I listen to MP3's --
32Mb, see?
That said, using Gnome/Enlightenment, which comes as the default WM
in RH6.0, _then_ I couldn't get nothing done -- I really disliked it.
Also, somehow, when I start esd, perfomance suffers a lot (I can't no
longer play MP3 while using Netscape or the GIMP, or any
disk-intensive stuff).
In all, I don't know if _you_ could run Linux on 32Mb -- _I_ do.

Sorry, this is an off-topic question, but I've seen that often

That I can think of, there's that patents issue, which it seems
