Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2000 15:59:17 GMT
Hi !
I have HUGE bottlenecks problems with Mandrake 7.0 since I changed the
mobo to a SOYOTek 5-EHM with ETEQ chipset. The X takes minutes to
start, and everything is pretty slow for an AMD K6-2 @ 500 MHz that I
run. Are there any special modules I should run for this chipset? I
understand it is a VIA-MVP3 kind of chipset. Also, just for the record,
the same board sucks also under win95, even with the 4-in-1 drivers
downloaded from the www.soyo.com site.
Anyone running Linux on this board at decent speed? Please help !
I had no problem until now sticking with older Shuttle boards and Intel
chipsets ...

If you are looking for a partition tool for linux you might want to look
at a program named "parted".

Yeah Rich you shouldn't have any problems. I am running the newest VMware
for Linux 2.0 and it is been great for me. I just suggest you read teh
direction very very carefully as I had a headache when I installed mine. But
after I read the documents throughly, it runs like a charm. Also one thing I
would suggest is to have atleast 256 mb ram and run the guest OS full screen
that way the system doesn't slow down.

Position Independant Code.
It's far easier to impliment shared libraries if the code in
the libraries is position-independant: it will run the same no
matter where in memory you plunk it down.

Subject: fmirror problem?
*** post for free via your newsreader at post.newsfeeds.com ***
I tried using fmirror to mirror an ftp site to a smb mounted drive and
my root drive keeps growing in size whenever it runs. I have tried
finding any file updated within the last 60 minutes while running it but
cannot find anything. The weird thing is, du and df now disagree on the
size of my root partition.
[root@hammer /root]# du / -s -x
1018M /
[root@hammer /root]# df -a
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda10 1510032 1419220 14104 99% /
<<snip>> ^^^^^^^
[root@hammer /root]#
According to du, I have used 1Gb which I think is right. However,
according to df, I have used 1.4Gb which should be wrong. I rebooted
and made sure fsck ran, but the problem is still there.
One, how do I get my disk tables updated?
Two, what's wrong with fmirror? Is there another choice?
Thanks,

I suspect this is the most likely possibility. Output redirection via
file descriptors (0, 1, 2) is supported in Bourne-style shells (sh, ksh,
bash) but not in csh (C-shell). In order to accomplish this in csh, you
need to do something such as:
$ (bin/count_speech_freq > output.txt) >& error.txt
which runs the command in a sub-shell, collects (only) stdout in
output.txt, and allows stderr to be written normally (typcially to the
screen). The second redirection captures stderr from the subshell and
redirects it to error.txt.
Hope this helps.

It's two newbie mistakes. Firstly, this question gets asked often enough to be
a FAQ. A search on Deja News should throw up the answer very quickly.
http://www.deja.com
Secondly, this error can happen if you set kttp to auto-configure your host
name from the IP that's dynamically assigned to you by your ISP. Doing this
prevents the X server from recognising your host name. To fix this, start kppp
and click Setup. Double-click the account name, then the IP tab. Uncheck the
setting at the bottom of the dialog.

If your motherboard supports monitoring, not all do, particularly
ready mades like Dell, then....
Do a Freshmeat search on 'sensors'. Visit lm-sensors website.
http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78/index.html
Current Mandrake kernels already have lm_sensors modules compiled
in. Monitoring is possible without lm-sensors modules if you use
KDE and have the most common monitoring chipset, W83782D, on your
motherboard using Khealthcare
http://homepages.fh-giessen.de/~hg7229/khealthcare/
All the above monitor temps (you can read the internal diode
on Intel cpu's), voltages, and fan speeds.

Subject: syslogd and pppd
From: Ross Ashley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: 27 Sep 2000 10:41:45 -0500
Trying to get a modem to work on a laptop, syslog isn't logging. I'm using a
ppp script that's worked before. I have the debug option turned on in the
/etc/ppp/options file and have the debug ommand line parameter in the ppp
script (hopefully that's redundant). Still, no detailed info is getting to
/var/log/messages (that's where the syslog.conf file should be putting the
pppd output). All it puts there is a message saying the script failed.
I eventually made the /dev/ttyS1 port on the laptop chmod 777 and +s, so the
script printed detailed info to the xterm that I launched it from. The
detailed info is the following;
...
LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Connection terminated.
Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean:
Problem: all had bit 7 set to 0
I then played with setserial, not too much playin', and I then put it right
back the way it was. The detailed pppd info is no longer echo'd to the
terminal. I'm right back where I started with no useful debug info.
So I have 2 problems; first is the logging problem and the second is the
dialup problem. Does anyone have any ideas about either problem?

Not, just Solaris but linux too. It is part of the System V Application
Binary Interface. Traditionally there has been sort of an /opt vs.
/usr/local argument. The compromise was roughly that /usr/local be
used for compiled binaries, and /opt be used for precompiled add-on
packages.

there is also a product called plex which is a free porogram similar to
VMware although I have not tired it yet, you will find that windows on an
emulated machine (vmware or plex) is not always very fast, my experience of
using vmware with a Piii 650 with 256 Mb ram was usable but not as fast as
it could have ben at times, Unless you have a very good processor proccessor
intensive things like games will ot work well at all, Performace could
probably be improved by tweaking things like your kernel, Xserver etc. the
emulated win98 machine i used was probably similar to the performace of a
P150 or lower most of the time,

I have multiple "pppd"s running and each pppd process is "bound" to a
56k modem. (Modems are calling different places, so multilink ppp
is neither an option nor an issue.) My question is:
Is there a way to "bind" a process,which uses TCP/IP, to a particular
pppd so that it will use a certain specific modem?

Use fdisk, take it slowly, read the documentation and write notes down
on paper as you go along. Also see the Large-Disk-HOWTO, on my distro
in /usr/doc/HOWTO and if you don't have the HOWTOs you can get them
from http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/
According to the LinuxFAQ (posted regularly to this group), there is
a program called Parted which may help, it's free and is at:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/parted/
Hope some of that helps.

No idea what you could mean. processes do not use specific modems. They
use addresses. ppp is for transfering information from one system to
another. You have to decide where that information is supposed to go.
your route will then decide which modem to send that information out on.

F.Y.I
I figured out the problem. To make a long story short, I was able to get
into a shell prompt with an old installation disk. From there, I mounted
/dev/hda9 (my root partition) and deleted all the /etc/mtab* files. It
seems that when I shut down the machine and it hung, mtab* files were
left behind causing the system to hang during "remount root in rw mode"
system initialization.

Take a look at

It claims X windows in 4 MB. Linux and X windows in 4 MB will be tight,
though, and won't likely leave much memory for running other things.

Check the Startup Services menu in DrakConf, and uncheck the box for kudzu.

Subject: Linux Certification Bootcamp w/Free Laptop.

LinuxCertified.com announces the next certification bootcamp for
IT professionals
- All attendees get a free Linux laptop!

http://www.linuxcertified.com/
LinuxCertified.com, a leading provider of Linux training, will
offer its next weekend bootcamps on October 14-15th in San Fran-
cisco bay area (south bay). These workshops are designed for
busy information technology professionals and prepare them for
Linux Certification exams.
In addition to carefully designed lecture material delivered by
experienced Linux professionals, there is a heavy emphasis on
hands-on learning. The training starts two weeks before the actu-
al class, with access to an online Linux server, where students
complete few challenging pre-class activities. Attendees get a
powerful Linux laptop on their arrival, along with other class
materials. They load Linux on their laptop during the class, and
use it for all the class activities and assignments. At the end
of the class they take this laptop with them to further enhance
their Linux expertise. Absolute beginners with no UNIX experience
can first come to the popular "Linux for Beginners" class and
subsequently join the certification bootcamp.
Rapid growth of Linux into corporate and government IT environ-
ments is fueling the need for Linux certified professionals. CIOs
and managers are eager to have Linux experts in their organiza-
tions. A certification provides a tangible mechanism for their
hiring evaluation, as well as a means to market the prowess of
organizations.
The weekend bootcamp is specially designed to prepare the atten-
dees for the objectives of Level 1 certification exams offered by
Linux Professional Institute (LPI). The workshop also meets the
objectives of the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) exam and Sair
Linux & GNU certification (LCA). Our attendees build a strong
sense of community with our instructors, fellow students, and our
network of recruiters and companies looking for Linux consul-
tants.
