Subject: Gnome glib problem
Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2000 09:14:12 -0800
I am trying to compile base.c from the gtk v1.2 tutorial on a mandrake 7.1
system but though I installed the developer packages for glib and gtk
along with the base packages, the program keeps failing on compile with
the following error:
user@salvador capps ]$ gcc base.c -o base 'gtk-config --cflags --libs'
gcc.color.gcc: gtk-config --cflags --libs: No such file or directory in
file included from /usr/include/gdk/gdk.h:31
from /usr/include/gdk/gdktypes.h:33 from /usr/include/gdk/gdk.h:31
from /usr/include/gtk/gtk.h:31
from base.c:1:
/usr/include/glib.h:66: glibconfig.h: No such file or directory
Now, clearly it isn't finding those libraries, but I installed gtk1.2.x base
and development as well as the glib1.2.x base and development packages.
Anyone know what gives? I'm tempted to re-install those pakages
completely, but wanted to hold off on the chance that I'm doing
something wrong with the compile options or that I need some additional
libraries that aren't mentioned in any of the places I've been looking.
Ant suggestions?

Subject: tar 1.1.13 and incremental backup problems
Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2000 16:17:29 GMT
I am trying to do incremental backups with tar. However, if I do
something like:
tar cvgf /home/alex/backup /home/alex/backup.tar .
it works. Upon trying to list it, however, I find that the tar file
contains many directories like 07124315726
My files are inside those directories. Upon trying to restore, I end
up with a unholy number of the 07 . . . directories with my files
actually in them. I've checked it out on the internet and many seem
to have problems. Is this a bug?
I realize that the 07. . . is probably an internal representation of
the date stamp. However, my problem is that when I try to restore,
all my files end up in the 07 . . . directories, not their original
homes. Naturally, I restore w/ something like tar xvgf backup
backup.tar (in the proper directory) What should I do?

For launching printtool, you just have to type "./printtool" during an
X-session (graphical environment) using an rxvt or an xterm console. You
have WindowMaker, No? If it the case, just click right and choose
rxvt....

It could be done w/ javascript. Use the javascript to collect the
info, encode it into a url, and then, to an <image src= . . . > tag.
W/O javascript, however, you might have some problems. Check out a
few online stat sites for their code and modify it as needed. I
believe that Hitbox has it in .js files that you could download and
modify. Actually, I suggest you rewrite the code, using their's as a
model to avoid copyright violations.

Yes, it do. I have 3 fat16 primary partitions on my first ide disk and
one primary ntfs. I've make all three fat16 primary partitions
with the ms-dos6.22 fdisk! It's simple: I have make the 1st and I have
hidden it with 06-->16 system indicator change.. et cetera. For the
winbug's installation on one of them, I've left hidden all the others.
After all installations of Win98$E, I have make all visible and winbug
and dos6.22 see them and have access to all simultaneously.
On my 1st partition I have the dos6.22+winbug98se with MultiBoot=1 on
msdos.sys (of winbug!), but lilo (the best!) on my mbr.
hda....lilo
hda1 fat16 2gig dos6.22+winbug98se
hda2 fat16 2gig winbug98se
hda3 fat16 2gig winbug98se
hda4 ntfs 2.3gig nt4
sda....only for Linux (4.3gig)
Winbug&dos see the partition on which they are, id est from which I've
booted, as C: and the others D: E:.
Exemple: I boot from the 2nd partition: 2nd=C, 1st=D and 3rd=E.
If I boot from NewTub: 4th=C, 1st=D, 2nd=E, 3rd=F.

Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2000 16:20:03 GMT
I'm trying to connect from a RH 6.2 machine to a Novell 5 server. These
are the commands that I'm using to connect.
/sbin/modprobe ipx
/sbin/modprobe ncpfs
ipx_interface delall
ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.2
ncpmount -S NETWARE_SERVER /mnt/novell -U owen -P YouWish -C
I'm able to connect to the machine. When I do an slist, it also shows
up. I can use the printers, access the files, move, copy, delete the
files. My problem is when I do an 'ls' it only displays the name of the
first directory, and the first file. If there is more than one
file/directory in the mnt point, only the one whose letter occurs first
in the alphabet will be displayed. Linux doesn't seem to know they are
there. If I do an "rm -rf *" in a folder with multiple
files/subfolders, linux will only delete the files that it displays with
an ls (and can't delete the sub folders because they're not empty).
After doing this command, an 'ls' will display the next file in the
alphabet order.
Why is this happening? Did I miss a command to initialize the
ipx/server/mount connection?
Any help would be appreciated,
Owen

Command Substitution
Command substitution allows the output of a command to
replace the command name. There are two forms:
$(command)
or
`command`
You had 'command' instead, which is something quite different. Try:
$ gcc base.c -o base `gtk-config --cflags --libs`

In Linux fdisk, use the 't' command to change the partition
type from 5 (DOS extended) to 85 (Linux extended). You can
only change it if it's already a partition of type extended.
So, you can't change a type 81 or 82 to an 85, for example.
Within the extended types, though, you can freely change
that descriptor bit. I've found type 85 is useful because
I've had Windows stomp all over ext2 filesystems when
they're in a type 5 extended. The type 85 is invisible to
Windows.

Hi!
Is there any easy to use CD-record software for Linux?
I looked at cdrecord but it seems to need enogh HD drive space to contain a
image file of the data to be burned. Since the problem is that i don't have
much space left on my drive i would like to burn the data directly to the
CD.
Is this possible (in a easy way)?

Hi, there,
I am doing my project which has several files. I got core dumped.
I want to use gdb to trace the point at which the core dumped.
What I did was to make all the files into a single huge file and
then use gdb to debug it.
Could there anyone who can tell me how to debug the core dump for
a project which has several files without making them a single
huge file?
Thanks a lot.

It normally means the program attempted an illegal operation and
was killed by the system. To fix -- make sure you have the right
version
of the program for your linux, there may also be compatability problems
with system libraries.
Hope this helps.

Or indeed

the shell to treat the character after it as part of the filename rather

Using this, you can create file names like...

Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2000 16:55:42 GMT
I'm trying to set up a kiosk mode linux client to connect to my citrix
server. I've got it working in full screen, and everything seems
fine. However, when I boot in kiosk mode, it doesn't even try to
connect. I created S99xkiosk in my /etc/rc.d/rc4/d that starts X, and
runs a specialized xinitrc that loads only the ICA client in a while
true loop. If I'm logged in as root, the script works fine. When I
boot the machine and it runs automaticaly, it runs as nobody. I get
several error 11's. I think it's because the config files
are /root/.ICAClient/appsrv.ini and /root/.ICAClient/wfclient.ini.
I've given rights to the directories to everyone, but wfica refuses to
look there. I've tried copying the .ini files from
the /root/.ICAClient to /usr/lib/ICAClient/config/
and .../ICAClient/.config/ (why is this hidden directory here?)
My question is this - is there a command line option to force
wfica to look in a particular directory for these files when I'm logged
in as nobody? or When I'm logged in as nobody, where can I put the
config files so that wfica looks there?

The site was done using Rebol, or the software? I couldn't find anything

The software ("Photogenics") apparently has been primarily an Amiga

Subject: repeated hangs with strange kernel messages
Date: 22 Jun 2000 17:44:17 GMT
Hi all,
For quite a while already, I have been struggling with repeated hangs
of a machine working in a remote observing site (Chile), causing
lot of troubles to the observers, not all of which are Linux experts.
And, of course, whenever I am there, it usually works flawlessly ;-))
The machine is an PII 450MHz, equipped with two 12GB Quantum Bigfoot
TX12.0AT drives, a DS21140 Tulip network card. Runs RH6.0 with kernel
upgraded to 2.2.12 (in an attempt to cure the problems). It used to be a
"black box" for number crunching (photometric reductions) and also
NFS server for somu huge databases. Though, even removing the databases
and leaving it as number cruncher did not help. We've seen it hanging
even being almost idle.
Lately we attached a monitor in order to try to trace down the crashes,
as it never logs anything in any of system log files. When it crashed
yesterday, the monitor was showing kernel panic messages, many hex
numbers (probably processor and stack dumps) and two following textual
messages:
Attempt to kill idle task
In interrupted handler not syncing
I have no idea what this could mean. Any hints helping to debug these
strange hangs would be greatly appreciated.
regards, Michal.

Subject: segmentation fault with IglooFTP

I installed IglooFTP, and I have no problems running it as root, but
when I try to run it as another user, I always get a segmentation fault.
Any suggestions?
TIA

In "SCO Merge 5" Windows 3.1 is not offical supported either. There is no
documention anymore about how to install it and no testing of Win31 is done.
SCO Merge 5 and Win4Lin 1.0 support DOS and Windows 95/98 and are
functionaly identical. (The new Update 3 for Win4Lin adds a "beta" version
of Western European Win98 support.)
Refer to the TreLOS web site (www.trelos.com)

Keep a msdos floppy disk already formatted. Mount it. Go into the
directory in which there are the dos files. Do:
rm -r /mnt/floppy/*
cp ./io.sys /mnt/floppy/
cp ./msdos.sys /mnt/floppy/
cp ./command.com /mnt/floppy/
The disk now it's a booteble msdos disk.
Have fun
