Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Can anyone tell me if there are keyboard that let me pop in between
virtual screens in KDE and Gnome (like in NT there are virtual windows
programs like powerbar and x-desk which have keyboard commands for
this, respectively CNTL-SHIFT-n where n is the n-th screen, and
CNTL-ESC-n ( or WINDOWS-n on newer keyboards)?
Also keyboard commands to make the bottom menu collapse left or right,
and in the case Gnome to make the menu collapse.
If there are no such commands, is there a way of defining them?

Hi guys,
As a newbie, I would like to take this time and ask a few questions
regarding the pronounciation of various GNU/Linux utilities, commands,
licences, concepts etc...<grin> I've heard that different people
pronounce these things differently anyhow, but just the same, I'm
interested in knowing how you guys repeat these words... Should be fun,
here goes nothing...*s*
1. vi --- Is it spelled out or spoken "Veye"...
2. GNU --- Is it spelled out, or pronounced "New"...
3. Linux --- Leee-nucks, Len-nucks, or Lie-nucks(How does Linus say
it?)..
4. SQL --- Is it spelled out, or pronounced "Sequel".. I've heard
both..
5. Daemon --- Is it demon, or daymon...
6. TCL --- I've heard it called Tickle...???*s*
7. pico --- Is it pee-co or pie-co...??? (Hey, I've used it
too)...*s*
In addition, could someone please enlighten me on the following
"simple-natured" questions...???
1. Why is Unix-based systems referred to as *nix based systems when
linux and various other versions end in "ux"...???
2. Is FreeBSD linux or not...??? When I ordered all the distributions
from <www.linuxmall.com> I was sent FreeBSD with all the other
distros...
3. Does the POSIX standard dictate the directory structure of *nix based
systems (usr, home, bin, etc, var et cetera...)...??? If so, where can
I get a copy of this POSIX standard...??? What else does the standard
dictate...???
4. Does the sysvinit program install the 'login' and 'sulogin' programs
when it is installed itself...??? I know the 'init' process activates
and respawns these programs, but is the 'login' and 'sulogin' programs
part of the sysvinit distribution...???
5. Does anyone but me use 'pico'...???*smile* Getting used to 'vi' is
just killing me...!!!*s*
Sorry for bombarding you guys with all these questions, but I figure
this is the best place to inquire...*smile* Thanks to all you took the
time to read and/or respond to this email... Take care...
Sincerely,

Hello,

then I install with "rpm -ivh gdk-pixbuf-0.5.0-1.src.rpm", it seems to
install. But when I do a "rpm -qi gdk-pixbuf-0.5.0-1.src.rpm", it

I am trying to set up X windows on Linux Red Hat 6.1. I have installed
the patches but the problem I am having seems to be with the setup of
the monitor. When I run Xconfigurator the Belina 10 30 20 monitor is
not listed in the monitor setup. I tried choosing custom and then
entering the sync frequencies from the manual. I get the xserver test
working ok but when I try and startx from the command line it tries but
then returns to the command line saying "waiting for X server too shut
down".
Any suggestions most welcome

Agreed; root logins should be disallowed from the word 'go!'. Here at
the FDI, there are two other people who have access to the root passwords,
in case something should happen when I'm not here. Neither of them can
telnet into the machines from their workstations, other than into their
user shells, and are thus forced to run su. That way, I can keep an eye
on what they're doing ... :-)

The usefull period for a Sun is much longer, if you have a hierarchy:
The first three years a machine is used as server, then another three or
four years as workstation or low-level server and then another three
years as X-terminal for the secretary or a student.
And don't forget that Suns, even the Workstations, usually haven't been
powered down for the first few years of their lives. PC's are usually
shut down every night.
The real question is: are Suns so much better that you pay four or
five times the amount that a comparable PC would cost?
I'm biased here as most of you know, hehe ;-)

Something did happen! Look in /var/log/messages and you will see
lines like this
Jun 27 10:18:11 emmy pppd[3036]: primary DNS address 195.92.195.95
Jun 27 10:18:11 emmy pppd[3036]: secondary DNS address 195.92.195.94
So pppd is reporting what nameservers your ISP wants you to use.
You still have to let your system know what these nameservers are.
At this point you have two choices, you can either copy these
nameservers into kppp (or directly into /etc/resolv.conf) or you
can use a script running from ip-up to automatically update
/etc/resolv.conf.
One word of warning because of the way the resolver library works
(this is what most programs use to do DNS lookups) any programs
that were running _before_ you changed /etc/resolv.conf will not
know about it's new contents. This makes changing resolv.conf
on-the-fly not completely satisfactory. (I personally get around this
problem by running a cacheing-only nameserver and automatically writing
the forwarders section in named.conf based on the output provided by
usepeerdns.)
I didn't read the script you mention above but the reference to
ip-up.d is debian-centric. If you want a script to run when pppd
goes up then to be sure run it from ip-up (which is guaranteed
to run by man pppd). Distros also run supplementary scripts from
ip-up. I think debian runs scripts under ip-up.d whereas RH derivatives
run ip-up.local. No doubt SUSE do something else again.

netscape wants to do a lookup on the server you type in but (as you
haven't sorted out your DNS yet) it can't and so this fails.

It seems that the problem was in the lookup of my hostname. I am not
using a fully qualified domain name. In fact, on this host I really
only need to be able to send mail to other users on this system and to
the Internet (through my isp's smtp server). I do not need to receive
email addressed to user@mymachine.
How do I set postfix to ignore my non-qualified host name (or understand
it for what it is)? How do I set any mail not sent to my localhost to
go through my isp? And finally, how do I disable incoming email (not
sure that this is needed).
Thanks again,

If you have a ethernet card (nic) in your box, your going to have to
run this command at SU , /sbin/ifconfig eth0 down. if the nic is up and
running Netscape is looking to the network to run ,not your dialup.
To load in your modem at bootup in /etc/rc.d/rc.serial add the following
line, this is my settings you will have to run cat /proc/pci to get your
settings. In /rc.serial , setserial /dev/modem uart 16550A port 0xb800
irq 10. If the /rc.serial doesn't exist use Emacs editor to create it.

Based on your description you don't seem to need postfix at all. Might as
well deinstall it. Have your mail program point to your ISP's mail host and
you can send mail.

I can't address using VMWare on Linux as I run it under Windows 2000 with
a Linux Mandrake 7.1 guest. Hardware is AMD K6-2/350 with 256M RAM, of
which I'm using 64M for VMWare.
Stability is a non-issue: neither Win2K nor the Linux VM have ever crashed
on me. Performance of the VM is noticeably slower than native but not
objectionably so by any means. I have Caldera eDesktop 2.4 running on a
Pentium 100 with 64 Megs and the VM virtual machine under Win2K is at
least as fast as that machine.

Apparently the parallel port can only be used by either the guest or the
host OS under VMWare, but not both. I'm running a Linux guest under a
Win2K host and more often than not, the guest OS (Linux) starts up with
the parallel port disconnected because it sees the parallel port in use by
Win2K host.

Have you tried the RH updates? IIRC, there was a problem with this X

The screen lamp shuts off when the lid is closed without the help of

Going into suspend mode has always been a problem with Linux on this

always ) in reach of a power outlet of some variety that I can use
with this machine, so the battery only gets used when the power
fails. Call it a poor man's UPS.
The apm utility still works. I have a script that runs every ten
minutes that uses it to check the power level if solo is running off
of battery. If the battery is too low, it does a shutdown -h 5. I
did once have a case of a power failure lasting long enough for the
battery to die ( I was away ) and ended up with a few files in
lost+found. I also have a script that indexes the file system so that
if that happens again, I can match the file names to the inode
