Subject: Problems with internal modem
Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 18:14:52 GMT
I have a P133 with NT, 95 and SuSE 6.0 (Kernel 2.2.36). A friend has
lend me a Supra Express 336i V+ a month ago. It works fine under NT and
95.
It is installed in /dev/ttyS2. When I tried to make it run under linux
it first said "Device or resource busy". I moved the mouse to COM2 and
it got better. I tried kppp. The query modem button worked, but it
failed sometimes saying "Timeout". But I was unable to connect to an
ISP. When I make a connection from NT or 95, the modem makes a click.
But I didn't hear anything under Linux. It was very slow, and minicom
didn't work. I have tried it again yesterday and now it says "Modem
busy". Why? I didn't change anything! I want to get it to work as soon
as possible. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

In theory. I noticed StarOffice installs some stuff into ~ on first
run (after asking some questions). Except, IIRC, that was > 2 MB!
It's too bloated, along with Netscape and Adobe Acrobat Reader. I gave
up on it.

Subject: Problems with ftp access to my server
Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 20:23:27 +0200
A couple of days ago my NT Webserver crashed AGAIN.. (Mabye it is to
much too ask for when you let a NT control 35 websites :-)..
So i installed Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 eServer, and after a couple of
hours all my website were working again (and running 10 times faster I
might add.)
But now i have a problem with my ftp access. When i look at the log
/var/log/secure it looks as if the computer only lets people in if
they're from my own IP-net or if they have a resolved DNS record (what I
mean is that while the IP 125.45.78.6 might not be granted access a DNS
name me.here.com bound to the same address will work.)
What do I do about that?
I hope some of you guys can help me..

Well, I checked the .config file and it does contain the proper
username,
password, and workgroup (and server and share). Trying to run "lpr
<filename>"
again just produced:
Status Information:
sending job 'root@dummy227-139+336' to lp@localhost
connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1
connected to 'localhost'
requesting printer lp@localhost
sending control file 'cfA336dummy227-139' to lp@localhost
error 'LINK_TRANSFER_FAIL' sending file 'cfA336dummy227-139' to
lp@localhost
job 'root@dummy227-139+336' transfer to lp@localhost failed
At this point I am ready to switch back to plain ole lpr, not that it
matters
since neither will print to the share printer.

Yes, the automounter mounts as root, but it depends on the mount-options
or filesystem if you can read and write on cdroms or floppies as user.
(For example the /home-directory is mounted by root, but all users can
access it because ext2 manages the user-permissions.

Patrick, have you executed the test program in the LPRng directory with
arguments to fix the owner and group permissions? I forget the exact
name and arguments, but had a similar problem with LPRng under
TurboLinux. The LINK_TRANSFER_FAIL error will occur if the owner/group
for the spool directory files do not coincide with the daemon and other
parts of the system.
Don't drop back to lpr yet...LPRng is nice once it works.

You mean Windows 3.1 here.
Windows 95 should run on 16M and may run sluggishly on 8M.

I haven't made that kind of change, but I assume that most packages
run configure to pick up the defaults for the local compiler. Look

Which Windows? Which browser? Which screen resolution? Which colour

combinations do you (or can anyone) test?
And what about the minority who don't use Windows? Blow them off?
I'm not an HTML purist by any means. But by writing standard HTML that
makes sense on any platform, you'll increase your audience, and make
more money.
Testing Web pages is like testing software: you've got to do it, but it
doesn't substitute for writing the code right in the first place,
because you can't test everything.

Ports are the number one way to generate pacakges, yes. Package
management doesn't depend on ports, though. The ports "deinstall"
target simply calls pkg_delete. depends-list and fetch-list are not
applicable to packages, as they are there for building ports.
pkg_add does dependency loading, and does auto-fetching of pacakges
(-r). pkg_info gives info on packages, either installed or in a file.

I'd never suggest replacing ports. It rules too much. pkg_* are a
bit old these days, though, and dpkg is the current leader in these
things. (despite the look of the code *grin*)

Packages in FreeBSD have fixed dependencies - if you have lsof-1.2,
and another package relied on lsof-1.1, it wouldn't work, and would
try install lsof-1.2. That's stupid. dpkg has variable dependencies.
NetBSD's pkg_* also have some of these abilities.

Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 21:01:23 GMT
I've searched and searched, but I haven't been able to find an answer
to this question anywhere.
This machine had RH Linux 6.0 installed on it, and I've upgraded the
kernel to 2.2.15. Now, whenever I boot, I get a bunch of modprobe
errors in /var/log/messages like this:
<machine> modprobe: can't locate module lo:0
...
<machine> modprobe: can't locate module lo:49
<machine> modprobe: can't locate module eth0:0
...
<machine> modprobe: can't locate module eth0:49
I'm trying to do some work with a PCMCIA ethernet card on this
machine, and when I pop the card in, I get
<machine> modprobe: modprobe: insmod eth1:0 failed
...
<machine> modprobe: modprobe: insmod eth1:49 failed
I'm using modutils 2.3.11. I also have the 2.3.99-pre8 kernel on
here (which is where I really want to do my driver work).
At first I thought this had something to do with System.map, but
I've been making sure the correct one is used, and the problem
doesn't go away.
I wouldn't be so concerned about this if it only happened at boot
time, but the PCMCIA ethernet card is supposed to get its address
via DHCP, and that also takes forever *every* time I pop the card
in.
Thanks.
