You're trying to run some OpenGL app, right? Yes, in order to do that
from, say SUN box (did I guess correctly?) you need _at your local box_
to have an X server capable of GLX - an extension of the X protocol,
wnich knows how to transmit OpenGL commands over the network. By
default, XFree86 does not have this extention, but you can enable it as
follows:
1. If you are a lucky owner of a compatible video card, go to
http://utah-glx.sourceforge.net/
read everything you find there and you'll know how to compile and set up
an GLX extension of Xfree86 (you'll also need XFree v. 3.3.6).
2. I am not 100% sure, but it *seems* to me that commercial X server
from Xigraphics (www.xig.com) does have a GLX extension, too. They allow
you to download a trial version, so, grab it and if it fixes your
problem, take you credit card out.

First, what voltage is your CPU SUPPOSED TO BE running at?
Secondly, as general configuration, if you have a device on
it's own IDE channel, it should be made master.
With such a hard hang (I've never heard of the reset switch
not working except with a bad or disconnected reset switch),
I would question the motherboard itself (possibly the CPU
though I think that's less likely). Maybe the power supply
too (damaging the motherboard).
If you're using a boot parameter to recognize memory, above
64MB, I'd disable that for now as well for testing purposes.
Also as the previous poster stated, I'd use an official kernel
from http://www.kernel.org/. Did you keep a copy of the old
kernel? I do just in case something goes wrong.

I contacted the O'Reilly distributor in Singapore. They said it is not

Subject: screen (and k2.2.16)

Hi there.
Just upgraded my box to 2.2.16-0.4
Everything works ok, but "screen" just will not work anymore.
What happens is this:
I start screen (with or without a program attached), the monitor goes black
and i get the prompt back saying "Screen is terminating".
Thats it. No error, no log.
I also ran "screen" in gdb getting this result:
Program received signal SIGHUP, Hangup.
0x4010adb7 in __libc_pause () from /lib/libc.so.6
I was wondering if this could have anything to do with the 2.2.16 kernel or
what else it could be.
The system is based on TurboLinux Server 6.0 and all packages should be
upgraded, as far as i know.
Any help appreciated

I haven't done what you're trying to do, but have a look at
README.cdplus (part of the cdrecord package). I don't think you need the
'-M' option - this is only needed for multisession data CDs.

Yes, but if you keep the number of packages small /usr won't be too large.
And when you nfs mount /usr from the central server it doesn't matter as it
is mounted 'over the top' of the original. You can mount a partition onto a
mountpoint that already contains files.

I just installed Linux Mandrake ona friends PC without touching the

smaller D (DOS-->32M), mount point / on E:, and some swap spacearound 32M.
Liloletsme choose between Win95 & Linux, and I can boot into each one
fine. But Windows95 shows me only the D (not accessible yet) and E still
the CDROM drive, as before. Is it normal that I can't see the E or F

I'd suggest Suse because it comes with half a dozen CDs of
unix/linux programs--including many a physicist would find potentially
useful (octave--a mathematica-like program, spice, etc.). It also
comes with a hefty manual to get you past many hurdles. And it's only
$30 at COMPUSA. But any Linux distribution or BSD distribution
would probably fit your primary needs (a unix variant for the home
pc), and you can download programs like Octave.

Would it make sense? For the user, and SYMBIAN? A user would
only upload a new OS if he'd get much more out of it than he
already has, taking into consideration the applications he's
using or wants to use. Hackers not counted, but then they'll run
Linux, not EPOC. SYMBIAN would displease its hardware licensees,
Psion and the others. All in all, it doesn't seem likely to me.

Subject: mounting ISO image through loopback hangs system (Rock Ridge problem?)
Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2000 12:51:27 +0200
I am running a 2.3.99-pre9 kernel, but when trying to mount a ISO9660
image
via the loopback device, my system always hands totally up.
The image is created with mkisofs with -J -T -r options, and when
written onto
a CD-R, it is a correct file system. But when mounting it via the
loopback
device with the following command:
mount -o loop -t iso9660 cdrom.img /cdrom
My system always hangs up. Running processes will run, but no new
process
can be started. So neither a Shutdown (via Ctrl+Alt+Del) will work!
Even when mounting the image of a real CD (created with dd), the system
hangs.
I guess this has to do with some bugs in the kernel rock-ridge driver.
When
using the older 2.3.51 kernel, I got the same problem, but when using
the
2.3.42 I didn't have this hang up, but the contents of Rock-Ridge Images
weren't shown correctly - some names showed up several times, other
didn't
even seem to be included.
I'm looking for some hint about some devices which can corrupt the
normal
behavior of the loopback device, without having to change to a 2.4.xx
kernel
at this time.
Thanks

Windows doesn't care about other partitions than its own. This means
any partition on your harddrive which is not labelled as a DOS or
Windows (and perhaps alos NT partitions) in the partition table will not
be displayed in Explorer. Fdisk will however display other partitions
as non-msdos or something similar.

You're overclocking, not? You're telling us what processor
you're using, and what clock speed you're running it at.
On the whole, Linux pushes a machine much further than Windows,
and if you're using marginal settings (overclocking, RAM timing,
etc) you'll much faster get problems.
Have a look in /var/log/messages and see if there's anything
fishy.
Run the system with conservative settings, and report back.

Depends on how you define 'use'. I'm not in to playing semantic games,
but for basic simple administation, you could say NT was easier (an MCSE

Yes. The SMP isn't so great, but this isn't a con compared to NT because
it's no worse.

That I disagree with completely. The install is easier and quicker than
NT. It install all the H/W drivers for you and you need to reboot once.
Things like samba come working out of the box. The additional setup
needed for a desktop system is minimal after it's first installed.

cool, thanx Floyd...I'm kinda getting there slowly (i think)
the thought occured to me was that there might
well be a conflict with the DNS, as with this install
I accepted all the server options (apache, news, DNS etc.)
which was not the case last time when my modem setup
worked 'out-the-box' .
Another clue maybe that when I ping my local asigned address
(when connected) I get a 'no buffer space availabe' error
where/how do I check this.
Sorry if I sound ignorant with a 'setup-my-system-for-me' attitude
but I'm getting lost in the documentation on this one as I don't really know
where the problem lies :-(
Keep on Groovin'

Most likely - with some adjustments. I have seen 'top'
for SGI IRIX and SCO OpenServer5

Depende de la arquitectura sobre la que corra en x86 los ultimos limites estan
en 4GB. Sobre Alpha y S/390 me asusto solo de pensarlo

In order to see your Linux partitions under Wind*ws you need
LinuxExplorer
or a similar tool. Have a look on sysinternals.org, I think this is
where
I found it.
The last time I checked, write support was experimental but it may have
changed.
