Have you tried using a program such as minicom to diagnose exactly where
it dies, and what error messages are displayed? Are you using the correct
authentication PAP/CHAP,etc?

~~ Yes, it's "username" and "remote username". What difference does it make,
~~ it's probably the same thing. What does it mean? Why do we have two?
I don't know, I do not use GNOME's dialer, I use pppsetup, and ppp-on/off.
Actually, I don't use either anymore. :-) If I were in your place I would
first read the manpage on pppd. Then I would give minicom a try, and perhaps
try a different dialer. In other words, the error message:
"The pppd daemon died unexpectedly"
is a little to terse to tell exactly why it is dying. You will have
to do some reading/investigating. Different ISP's do things differently,
I used to admin an ISP, and could connect to it with no problems. But
when I quite that job and moved back to Chicago, I got a new ISP. They
went about authentication differently, and I spent hours reading/investigating
as to why I could not connect. I finally did get it hammered out, but
it took some patience. Another good idea would be to call your ISP, and
ask to speak to someone who connects with Linux. If that fails ask to
speak with their UNIX admin. Hopefully, you will find someone cluefull
who can tell you exactly what you should be doing to use to their service
with Linux.

Hi, I have downloaded distribution of RH6.2 Linux and I'm attempting to
install it to an intel box with no current operating system. I get
through the install script fine (using text install mode) but then it
ends with error 'signal 9' and shuts down the kernel. Any suggestions?

Subject: removed a linux native, then didnt boot, then hangs at syslogd
Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2000 02:25:15 GMT
hello.
tried booting linux today. didnt work!
at boottime it complained something about 'attempting to use or reach
(or some such thing) a device beyond its limits'.
dang, no i didnt write down the whole errormsg:(
it complained about erreors on hda6 (/) too.
also it adviced me to run "e2fsck -v -y <partition>".
i noticed my .profile hadnt been loaded, so there was no PATH and such,
and my swedish keyboard didnt work either (of course:)).
anyway, i ran e2fsck, which reported some stats, and then rebooted.
now it seems to boot ok until it tries loading syslogd... it
obstinately hangs.
ctrl+alt+del is the only thing that seems to be working at that point.
so now i cant log in.
what might the problem be? how do i get my dear linux back up n
runnin???
right before this happened i removed a linuxpartiton.
i guess that might have caused it.
my partitontable looked like this:
hda1: fat32 (5gig)
hda2: extended (contains hda5-9)
hda5: /boot (15meg)
hda6: / (5gig)
hda7: /home (1.5gig)
hda8: linux swap (42meg)
hda9: /x (1.3gig)
i converted hda9 to a fat32 yesterday...
hda9 is, as you see, a logical partition.
can this be what caused my problems? (certainly looks so, huh?)
perhaps the evil windows (98se) did something to the extended partition
when i formated hda9 to fat32?
think it's possible to repair?
BUT, when i first managed to login to linux today i actually converted
hda9 back to ext2fs. didnt format it though.
so whyyy does it hang when trying to load syslogd?
(the errormsgs about hda6 dont appear anymore though)
what to do about that?
had no bootdisks available at that linuxcomputer today, but even if i
had and managed to login, i would have NO CLUE what to do or where to
look.
MAAAYDAAAAAAYY!
thanks in advance / alex k
ps. i use a skeleton install of slack7.0 with added 2.2.15 and Xfree4
and such. its an ordinary IBM IDE 13gig disk. PIII450 with 192ram if
that matters.

There are no X11 *primitives* to write rotated text. No mater *what*
GUI package you use you will be 'on your own' WRT rotated text.
You will need to adapt a vector text package (draw text as vectors, not
using bit-mapped fonts). I'm guessing dgs is doing something like this,

This looks like bps mismatch. Your serial port speed != the speed the
modem is talking too. The fact that it dialed and connected suggested
that the modem has enough internal smarts (i.e. it *has* a real
(micro)controller, with its own software ROM) to do everything it needs
to do.

&Bn Set the serial port rate variable or fixed.

&B0 Variable: the serial port rate adapts to match the speed
of the connection.
&B1 Fixed rate. The Courier always communicates with your
computer at the rate at which you have set, regardless
of the connection rate.
&B2 When answering calls, use the fixed rate for ARQ
calls and variable rates for non-ARQ calls.

Yes, this is *exactly* the sort of behaviour one gets when &B0 is set.
The modem *switches* its communication speed to match the connection
speed and this is generally NOT going to be the same as the port speed.
I use an init string for my USR Courier modem (actually this is the dial
string (don't ask)):
ATS0=0Q0E1V1X6&a3&B1&n0&h1&r2DT1-413-772-3774

Subject: v1.4.2 of the slang programmer's library released
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: 20 Aug 2000 02:52:20 GMT
Version 1.4.2 of the multi-platform slang programmer's library is now
available from:
ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/slang/v1.4/
and the mirrors:
ftp://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/unix/misc/slang/
ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/pub/unix/news/slrn/
ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/lang/slang/
ftp://ftp.plig.org/pub/slang/
ftp://ftp.gigabell.net/pub/slang/
For more information about the library and programs that utilize it,
visit the slang web site at http://space.mit.edu/%7Edavis/slang.html.
Although version 1.4.2 is primarily a bug-fix release; a new
feature has been added to allow modules to be imported into an arbitrary
namespace rather than the global namespace.
Changes since 1.4.1
1. slang.c: Under certain conditions, the continue statement was not
properly handled in do..while statements. src/test/loops.sl added
for testing.
2. slparse.c: avoid potential (rare?) infinite loop when slang error occurs
(Stanis�a Bartkowski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>).
3. slsmg.c: When SLsmg_init_smg is called, mark the display as trashed.
4. It is now possible to add intrinsics to their own namespace via
new SLns_add* functions. Moreover, the import function now takes
an optional additional argument that specifies a namespace.
5. New namespace intrinsics: use_namespace, current_namespace
6. Changed inner-product algorithm to minimize the number of cache
misses.
7. sldisply.c: Kanji specific patch from Jim Chen
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
8. sldisply.c: Assume that Eterm and rxvt are xterm-like (Michael
Jennings <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>).
9. sldostty.c: mouse support added by Gisle Vanem <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
10. slsearch.c: avoid infinite loop if search string has no length.
11. SCO elf support added by Mike Hopkirk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
12. slregexp.c: regexp \d+ was not working properly
13. keyhash.c: typos involving USER_BLOCK keywords corrected.
(the use of USER_BLOCKs is discouraged).
14. New intrinsic variable: _slang_doc_dir. This specifies the
installation location of the doc files.
15. Make sure it can compile with SLTT_HAS_NON_BCE_SUPPORT set to 0.

On the subject of Linux PDAs, I've just seen one of the new compaq PCs
running Linux. Very Impressive, check out www.handhelds.org. The problem
is you have to rip the thing apart more or less to get linux on there and
you can't go back to winCE (possibly a good thing?). There is hardly any
software and all the x stuff isn't really desinged for 320*200 no-keyboard
operation. It will be interesting to see what these things are like 6
months down the line though.

For the others who've had similar problems, thought I'd let you know, all you need to
do is "downgrade" your
rpm.rpm package. I had installed rpm-4.0. Looking on rpmfind.net, rpm-3.0.5-9.6x is
the latest I can find for
i-386 now. Looks like the 4.0 version is available for power-pc? You will probably
need to use the --force and
--nodeps options. It will fight you a bit, but your database will be back, and the
stupid "major number >3" issue
will be fixed. Just to be sure, I did a --rebuilddb afterward too, but I don't think
it really did much...
Good luck,

Look at it from the perspective of a newbie. Particularly one, as most
of them are, coming from the Windows world where there is a strong "one
solution is best for everyone" mentality. Which distribution is best is
a perfectly innocent and valid question for someone interested in trying
Linux for the first time. He or she doesn't know that there is no such
thing as "the best" distribution.
I remember the FAQ touching briefly on this, but I also remember being a
newbie and I remember that it wasn't easy to find a good comparative
evaluation of the various Linux distributions. I started out with
Slackware because I had documentation for downloading and installing
Slackware, and because the documentation suggested that Slackware was a
popular distribution. Later, I tried Red Hat 4.something because it
came on a CD in the back of a lousy Linux book I bought, and I had heard
Red Hat was pretty popular. I ran accross Debian entirely by accident
(Debian 1.3 was part of the Linux Developer's Resource CD set that I got
as a gift), but that's the distribution I ended up choosing as the best
for my needs. That was over two years ago, and I've been using it ever
since. I'm glad that I did stumble on to Debian, because if I didn't, I
would have gone back to using Slackware, which is also good, but perhaps
not as good a fit with my needs. (Eventually, I would have found out
about Debian, precisely because people do post about which distributions
they like best and why.)
I haven't read the newsgroup FAQ lately, but I don't remember seeing a
pointer to a good comparison of Linux distributions, and I don't
remember seeing anything like that at linux.org either. If there is a
good resource out there, then we should point people who ask, "Which
distro is the best" to that resource. If not, what's wrong with offering
our own opinions about why we like our favourite distributions, so long
as we don't start flaming each other about it?

I don't quite see why the dialer would need your local username,
but the remote is your ISP account. In our case this goes into
/etc/wvdial.conf
but your milage may vary.
find /etc -type f -exec grep -l
is your friend.

Hello All,
I have a Redhat 6.2 box that is being used solely as the sound interface
for a pinball machine that my friend built. I would like to install
board and hard drive inside the pinball machine to keep everything in
one moveable unit (better for installation). This headless box will be
running a graphically based real-time sound environment called pd (a
free version of IRCAM's Max).
It would be best if the box could start x and log in automatically,
start up the pd program, and be ready to run every time it is booted
up. I'm not concerned about security risks as the machine will have no
keyboard/monitor, let alone any net connection.
Does anyone know of a script that can achieve this seemingly simple
goal?
Many thanks in advance!

Subject: help: use enscript for printeing from Netscape
Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2000 05:49:03 +0200
Hi,
I'm currently using RH6.2 and Netscape 4.72.
I tryed to modify the default printer command fro Netscape printing
facility from
lpr
to
enscript -2r -f Courrier10 -i4 | lpr
Whatever the enscript options are, the result is the printing of a
PostScript source (maybe of the documentto print). And this is not
exactly what I'm looking for.
My point is to control the Netscape printing output through filters.
So all your suggestions are wellcome.
TM
