Give us more information -- kernel, XFree versions, any error messages
or relevant logs, what exactly you were doing etc.
Can you crash out of X using <ctrl>-<alt>-<backspace>?
In my case similar problems (X freezing solid) were due to a flaky
motherboard (specifically Intel-LX chipset ones)
Never trust a man in a suit.

Not too much: add "encrypted passwords = yes"
to /etc/smb.conf and add user jacky to your smbpasswd
using "smbpasswd -a jacky". This works, at least on my system.

Subject: X-server freezes for several seconds
Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2000 09:55:56 GMT
Sometimes my display freezes for about 4 to 14 seconds, usually
when an gnome-terminal is "doing a lot of work" like 'more' or
'vi.' After this the system works normally (until the next freeze)
except that the line of text being updated at the time of the
freeze has its pixels corrupted.
I will be very grateful if someone can explain this problem, or
even indicate how to reduce its frequency: sometimes the
freezes are so frequent as to make the machine almost
unusable.
I run Linux 2.2.5-25 from RedHat on an Acer 48X with
Viewsonic display.

Subject: Printer, no printing
From: jygjyg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I've installed Linux in a Netware network but I had some problem
with printing. After I install ncpfs for Linux, I can use the
"stupid" command (many parameters in the line) --nprint-- to
print the text file to a Netware printer. What I want is to
setup a simple printer and capture it to the Netware printer.
I happen to find that in /dev/devices, "lp" is not in it but
Parallel device is modulabe in the kernel. When I try to use
"tunelp /dev/lp0(1,2)", I am told "lp0(1,2), No such devices".
The installation of the linux is a full installation, how can I
load the lp modules?
The cool "printtool" can ease our management on setting up a
printer. There are only three kind of printers (local, remote,
windows) which can be choosed, I remember I saw the fourth one
-- netware printer -- somewhere, can somebody tell me is it
right? Do I need rebuild the kernel or install some patch?
Please do not tell me that all the answers are in print-howto.At
least I can not figure them out with that boring howto.

Subject: SCSI and IDE disk problems
Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2000 11:43:49 +0200
About 6 months ago I installed a new Seagate Barracuda ST39175LW 9,1 Gb SCSI
disk on a small fileserver. The disk has one partition taking up the entire
disk, most of which is 'shared' to Windows clients using Samba (2.0.5a). The
system has been running happily until yesterday, when I discovered that
files and directories were missing over the samba share. Trying to list the
files in linux gave me IO errors. Unmounting the drive and running e2fsck
gave the following output:
Error reading block XXX (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in
short read) while doing inode scan. Ignore error<y>?
Ignoring the error would give me more messages like this. Running e2fsck -c
caused the scsi bus to attempt to reset several times. Finally, after
several hours of errors, SCSI bus reset attempts etc etc, rebooted the
machine, unmounted the drive and ran e2fsck -c, which now seamed to work.
The disk is up and running again with no new error messages...

Can anyone explain this behaviour?
Now, for chapter two:
In 'panic', while I was fsck'ing the SCSI drive, I went an bought a second
10GB IDE drive, to backup my disk in case I needed to try some extensive
data recovery. I makde this dosk inot one big partition also (/dev/hdc1).
Running mke2fs, /var/log/messages is filled with this kind of errors:
Mar 30 11:27:44 arthur kernel: hdc: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady
SeekComplete Error }
Mar 30 11:27:44 arthur kernel: hdc: dma_intr: error=0x10

Mar 30 11:28:22 arthur kernel: hdc: dma_intr: error=0x10
{ SectorIdNotFound }, CHS=3650/0/22, sector=934354
..and runing e2fsck on this disk gives:
Error reading block 3358818 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted
in short read) while doing inode scan. Ignore error<y>?
...which is the same message I got on the SCSI disk in the first place!
Which means that I can't get my brand new 10 GB drive to work at all. The
drive is an IBM DTTA-371010 CHS=19590/16/63
On top of this, as I am writing this post, I see that I get the same error
messages on /dev/hda and IO errors as I am parsing through /var/log/messages
to copy the error messages. This disk is an IBM DTTA-350640 CHS=790/255/63
This is beginning to become frustrating! Any ideas, anyone?

Hi
I have a problem which has been around for a while now and I have yet to
work out what is causing it.
gcc: internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11
This error usually comes when I am compiling the kernel. The machine
has 64MB EDO (it's an original Pentium 200) and about 112MB swap. This
error is not entirely reproducable, but happens more frequently when the
system is under load. This made me think I had a sporadic memory
problem.
So far, I have replaced:
- the memory - this seemed to fix it for a while
- the motherboard - no difference
- the disc used for root, boot and usr (but not swap)
the first motherboard was scsi+ide, the second just ide
The nic is a 3C905B
The sound-card is an Aztech PCI 168 (don't think Linux even supports it)
The modem is US Lobotics and external
The Video Card is PCI and from Elsa
Any clues ?

you should probably check two things...
- enable password encryption for samba (win98 does not use plain text
passwords by default)
check out 'man smbpasswd' for details on setting up an encrypted
smbpasswd file based on your /etc/passwd file
- did you set up accounts on the Linux machine for the corresponding
Windows users if you are accessing non-public exports?

I have the same problem here.
Do yo have a SMP system. I was suggested to remove the SMP support from
the kernel. However that didn't work at all.
You could also try to remove the HPT366_FAST_IRQ_PREDICTION and
HPT366_MODE3 options from the HPT366 driver. I did that and didn't help
for me however.
You can use the HPT366 controller without the UDMA/66, but I guess that
is not what you want. Instructions for that are in the Linux HPT366
mini-HOWTO (http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~b6506063/hpt366/)
