I'm having trouble getting my first wine application running. I'm
trying to run ChessMaster 6000. Below are the errors I'm getting:
prompt% wine "/dos/Program Files/Chessmaster 6000/CM6000.exe"
Could not stat /mnt/fd0, ignoring drive A:
Building font metrics. This may take some time...

err:module:fixup_imports Module CustomGUI.dll not found
wine: can't exec '/dos/Program Files/Chessmaster 6000/CM6000.exe':

wine: no executable file found.
How do I make the DLLs loadable?
I've very new to wine.

Hello friends.
I have just started on Linux and Postgres.
When I am in root, I type "su postgres"
Then the foll steps
bash# createuser denis
I get the foll error :
Connection to database 'template1' failed
ConnectDB() -- connect failed:connection refused
Is the postmaster running at 'localhost' and accepting connections on unix
socket '5432'?
createuser : databse access failed
Can someone please tell me why I am getting the above rror and what the
solution is?
Thanks

Hello friends.
I am a newbie at linux. My wish is to start a newsgroup on my server at home
just like the one that we are viewing now.
Can I do this on a linux server? Can anyone help me on guidelines on how to
go about setting up a newgruop server? Any software available?
Thanks

Subject: mgetty and dial in
Date: Sun, 16 Jul 2000 01:13:03 GMT
What does one have to do to get mgetty to answer when a phone rings?
I have mgetty enabled in /etc/inittab, ps shows mgetty running on the
proper port (dev/modem, which is linked to /dev/ttyS1), minicom can dial
out on ttyS1, my ppp dialer script dials out... mgetty leaves a log file
in /var/log (mgetty.modem), and that file shows mgetty has gotten an OK
from the modem and is waiting for a ring. But it doesn't answer.
I have checked all of the docs I can find, also web pages. Some mention
a file named polciy.h; it's not on my computer (SuSE 6.3). Am I missing
a setup file somewhere?
TIA.

Hello friends
In Windows we use "winipcfg" command to find out the ip addresses of the
network cards.
How do we do this in Linux?

Hi,
Please help vnc problem...
How can I correct these errors in SuSE6.4
The VNC faq mentions that maybe is because of the
xrdb file but when I do a what on xrdb it returns ok...
matt:~/.vnc # which xrdb
/usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb
When I run the server I get the following....
sh: /usr/local/bin/Xvnc: No such file or directory

Use ifconfig for that. It will show you all of the active interfaces.
To see the configuration of an inactive (but configured) interface,
specify the interface. ex. ifconfig eth0
To view all configured interfaces (even the ones that are down),
use "ifconfig -a"
man ifconfig

Don't do this. All of your systems MUST use the same port. You cannot
have some use /dev/modem, and others ttyS1. Get rid of /dev/modem and
use ttyS1 for EVERYTHING.
You have to tell mgetty how many rings to wait to answer, with the
rings 2
option under the approprite tty in /etc/mgetty*/mgetty.config file
(The above says to answer after two rings.
Note that unless you start mgetty from inittab, it will die after every
time something happens-- eg if you dial out with ppp it will listen in
and not answer and die.

The setup files are in
/etc/mgetty*
policy.h is a file used in compiling mgetty, not running it.

In general this is a very bad idea. Directory names are intended to

You should have a file ~/.profile or should be able to create one. This
will only be sourced for *login* sessions. Due to some peculiarities of
X windows, if you login in through a graphical X session manager, you
may not source your ~/.profile entry. I prefer logging in through a
console session then launching X for this and other reasons.
You should be able to put the desired environment variable assignment in
one or more of the following:
/etc/profile # affects all users on the system at login
/etc/bashrc # affects all users on the system for each shell
# spawned
~/.profile # affects specific user on, on login
~/.bashrc # affects specific user on, on shell spawn
setenv only works for csh and derived shells (eg: tcsh).

No, just go to /usr/src/linux-2.2.16 directory and:

% make modules_install
This will rebuild the modules and install the new ones in the proper place.

Is the postmaster running? The easiest way to tell is to run the command:
ps -Af | grep "postmaster"
and make sure that you have a line similiar to:
postgres 1234 1234 0 Jun30 tty1 00:00:00 /usr/bin/postmaster -i
It not, then the PostgreSQL backend database manager is not running. On my
RedHat 6.0 system, running PostgreSQL 7.0.2, this is started at boot time
because of the file '/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql' and the symlinks to it
in the various '/etc/rc.d/rc#.d/' (where # is a number) subdirectories.
If these files exist, but you have not rebooted since installing PostgreSQL,
then you can start the postmaster by entering the command (as root):
/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start
You should see a lot of messages about things being setup because it detects
that this is the first startup and creates a number of files. After you have
done this command, try the "ps" command again. If you get error messages
from the '/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start' command, post them here. If you
get something like "command not found", then you'll need to review your
PostgreSQL installation. Either it failed or you are not running RedHat or
something similiar (I think that Slackware starts things differently).
Hope this helps at least a little bit,
John
