Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2000 20:01:34 GMT
Hello all,
I have just run into a small problem that may cause some confusion. I
have noticed a problem when compiling source for the linux kernel and
enabling the "PCI Quirks" option under the General menu. When you set
that option and then compile the sound.o module, it looses a Reference
to a "isa_dma_bridge_buggy" I'm sure this is caused by a dependency
problem. This unresolved symbol shows up when you try to add the module
to the kernel at run time. It will not allow you to connect the sound
card drivers and therefore:) you will get no sound. I have discovered a
way around the problem. If you compile the module without "PCI Quirks"
and then install the modules, the compile the kernel with "PCI Quirks"
The system run's normally. I have yet to see a problem doing this. This
is however not a good problem to have, as something must be missing from
the configuration. If somone else sees this problem just compile the
modules without PCI Quirks and the kernel itself with it. And you should
be OK. Note I also have the udf, and the dvd patches installed. But I
don't think that would be related. Someone may prove me wrong though.

Did you set the execute attribute on the file for Root and Other before
running the file? That's usually the issue. Just right click the file as
root and select properties and click the execute check boxes and click ok
then click the file.

NET-3-HOWTO
Begin what I think works but dont guarantee it
To connect two linux boxen using the serial port
Use
slattach -p cslip -s 19200
ifconfig sl0 ip1 pointopoint ip2 up
route add ip2 dev sl0
On each of the boxes where ip1 is the ip address of one eg. 198.162.0.1
and ip2 is the address of the other eg. 198.162.0.2
Of course the ip addresses need to be the other way around on the other box.
Using the parallel port
modprobe plip
ifconfig plip0 ip1 pointtopoint ip2 up
route add ip2 dev plip0
End what I think works but dont guarantee it
If you are using network cards then you need to do something different :-)
I found myself editing /etc/hosts /etc/route.conf
and some other files.
/sbin/init.d/route etc may need to be fiddled with
man ifconfig
man slattach
man route
Hope you get it to work, seems to work okay for me SuSE 6.2 distribution.

Subject: Getting >2GB files under kernel 2.4.0-test1
Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2000 20:49:19 GMT
G'day, all.
I've compiled and installed the linux-2.4.0-test1-ac14 kernel onto my
Mandrake 7.0 system, as I was under the impression that this would give
me the ability to create files greater than 2GB on this machine. It's
a file server used mostly for backups.
Well, the compile went exceedingly well and I chose to see if I could
get away with not upgrading any of the recommended packages such as
libc5... so I booted the new kernel. Viola! It works and there are
only a couple of warnings during boot which I think I can live with
for now.
But the 2GB limitation still exists even with the new kernel. I'm
using Samba to talk to the file server from a Win98 box which I'm
attempting to backup, not using NFS. Is there something obvious that
I've missed that would enable the larger file sizes? I'm at a loss as
to what to do next; any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Subject: PPProblem
Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2000 21:40:26 GMT
I have a small problem. (OK, it's actually quite a big problem)
I am trying to get my linux box to connect to my ISP, but for some
reason it just won't work. When I use the -detach and -debug options
to pppd, then I get a lot of these....
sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0xWhatever> <pcomp>
<accomp>]
with the occasional....
rcvd [LCP ConfAck id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0xWhatever> <pcomp>
<accomp>]
I have checked to see that PPP is actually running on my ISPs computer
(i.e. I check that there are a lot of weird characters). This is
happening no matter what ISP I connect to (I have accounts on a few
ISPs). All the ISPs work fine when I plug my modem into my windows 95
box. It was working fine yesterday morning, then I disconnected and
reconnected about 5 mins later and it didn't work. Noone logged on
during that 5 mins, let alone modified any config files (if my log is
telling the truth). How is it possible that my config files are
untouched, noone logs on, yet pppd suddenly starts to fail? I can log
in to my ISP using minicom and then start up a ppp session, but even
that doesn't work when I close minicom and run my ppp script.
HELP!

Thanks for the pointers. I'll look into ATI and the AMD.
The drivers are limited for XFree 4.0, but the little I've played with
it convinced me that they are lots better than those for 3.3.6....

Subject: UMOUNTING loopback device..How?
Date: 13 Jun 2000 21:25:21 GMT
I can't figure how to umount device that is mounted with the loopback
option...
mount -o loop -t ext2 /file /mnt
This is after dd was used to create /file and ext2 filesystem was
created. This is the process of making a custom bootdisk that I'm
working on.
Every time I try umount /mnt it tells me "device busy".
I've looked a losetup and tried different combinations using
losetup -d /file ...etc.
I also get a "device busy"
In all cases /file or /mnt is not being accessed at that time.
So can somebody tell me what is the proper procedure to do this?
Currently the only way I can do it is to shutdown.
TIA.

Subject: Announcing the Unison file synchronizer, version 2.1
Date: 13 Jun 2000 17:28:46 -0400
The Unison development team at the University of Pennsylvania is
pleased to the first public release (2.1) of its file synchronization
tool for Unix and Windows systems. Unison allows two replicas of a
collection of files and directories to be stored on different hosts
(or different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then
brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the
other.
The current release is available for immediate download from
http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison
in both source and binary form.
Unison shares a number of features with tools such as configuration
management packages (CVS, PRCS, etc.) distributed filesystems (Coda, etc.)
uni-directional mirroring utilities (rsync, etc.) and other synchronizers
(Intellisync, Reconcile, etc), but differs in several significant areas:
* Unison runs on both Windows (95, 98, NT, and 2k) and Unix (Solaris,
Linux, etc.) systems. Moreover, Unison works across platforms, allowing
a Windows laptop, for example, to synchronize with a Unix fileserver.
* Unlike ``true'' distributed filesystems, Unison is a user-level
program: it can be run without kernel modifications or superuser
permissions on either host.
* Unlike simple mirroring or backup utilities, Unison can deal with
updates to both replicas of a distributed directory structure. Updates
that do not conflict are propagated automatically. Conflicting updates
are detected and displayed.
* Unison works between any pair of machines connected to the internet,
communicating over either a direct socket link or tunneling over an rsh
or an encrypted ssh connection. It is careful with network bandwidth,
and runs well over slow links such as PPP connections.
* Unison has a clear and precise specification and comes with extensive
documentation.
* Unison is resilient to failure. It is careful to leave the replicas and
its own private structures in a sensible state at all times, even in
case of abnormal termination or communication failures.
* Unison is free; complete source code is available under the GNU Public
License.
Unison is brought to you by
Sylvain Gommier,

they're usually under the applnk directory somewhere under /usr on most
distributions. If this is Caldera then they're under applnk in the
/opt/kde directory somewhere. Where you root when you tried to remove the

Look for the file XF86Config. Save it somewhere.
You should also set yourself up in runlevel 3 so you will not
automatically go into X windows on boot. If you don't your Linux will be
unusable if your X windows is not configured for the new video card.

You probably did what I did. You managed to install Mandrake 7.0 without
KDE. Two solutions. You can look on your Mandrake Installation CD # 1
and install the KDE rpms. There are probably several and they may have
dependencies that you will have to install first. If you do
RPM -Uvh [rpm name] you can install each rpm or it will tell you what
dependencies need to be installed first. Once it is installed you can
follow the other reply to your question to know what to do to have it
become your default environment.
The other solution, which may be simpler depending on how far along you
are, is to reinstall Mandrake in expert or custom mode and make sure you
select KDE to install. That's what I did.

Assuming that the image file you have is a legitimite .iso image, and that
your program will burn .iso's, then just rename the file to
whatevername.cid and burn it. A lot of software is hung up on naming
conventions that are _effectively_ meaningless. (Why try to bend the minds
of everybody to your standard for naming conventions, .cid, when you are
renaming an accepted standard with meaning, .iso??)
As is probably true in this instance. I mean if it would work with the
file renamed to whatever it's expecting, why cause it not to work if you
tell it to burn whateverfile.blah; it should make a coaster if the file is
not in the correct format rather than refuse to work if it doesn't like the
name or, conversly, it is possible to have the code test to see if it's
looking at a proper image file, that it can burn, we assume, properly.
But, this sort of sensical thinking is a lot to ask of Adaptec, no??? Can
you say --BLOAT--? I knew you could! /ts

It was: Wed, 07 Jun 2000 23:20:31 +0100 and with STARTLING insight,
"Bryan Galvin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
posted "Java SDK 1.2.2 - Linux"
to "comp.os.linux.misc" :
-->All,
-->
-->I downloaded the Java 1.2.2 SDK for Linux from Sun.
-->I downloaded the large 21 MB file using the FTP utility on a Win 98 PC.
-->When the download was complete I transferred the file to my 486 PC upon
-->which I have a Slackware LINUX distribution installed.
-->Following the installation instructions from the website I attempted to
-->decompress the 21 MB file.
-->However, the following error is returned:
-->
--> "gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data --format violated
--> tar: Child returned status 1
--> tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors"
-->
--> I used the this command line, "tar xvzf jdk1_2_2-linux-i386.tar.gz"
-->
-->I had to rename the file to its original name as it was truncated when
-->transferred.
-->
--> Has the file been compromised or affected by download to a WIn 98 PC?
-->
--> Any help is appreciated.

Did you download in "binary" mode? If not, then the cr's may have been
converted to cr/lf's, as is proper in ASCII mode. So text files would work
in dos/windoz. You can use the utility dtox or an editor or awk or sed
command to fix this then try to open the file with normal methods:
tar zxvf file.ext
I've seen this problem and seen it fixed in this way. There are other
possibilities though, such as a bad file to begin with. But this is worth
a shot. /ts
