Subject: boot panic when removing second hard drive
Hello,
I would like to get rid of my second hard drive, but when I physically
remove this drive (with winnt on it) and try to reboot linux (which is
on the second hard drive), I get only 1 and 0 at boot time (I boot with
the same floppy disk).
Can someone tell me how to proceed properly?
thanks in advance

Hmm... M$ advocate, huh?
Anyhow. I presume you're hooking the two NICs up to the same 100Mb
ethernet segment? If that's the case, how can your system possibly achieve
>100Mb throughput if your medium can't? Two NICs would only be handy if
your program is overloading a single NICs buffers (but still less than
100Mb). Also, don't forget that Ethernet starts to _really_ suffer at
about 60% utilization.....

So all this time that I've had it running on a K6-200, K6-2-300, and
K6-III-450, I've just been imagining things?
Linux runs fine on AMD processors (and Cyrix, too...my firewall runs an old

Subject: irq problems?
Date: Tue, 03 Oct 2000 14:47:34 -0400
Sorry if this has been covered before (ad nauseum even).
I finally got my 3com modem working - yay. Now my Wacom tablet won't
work. Previously, when I installed the Wacom, I lost the modem. So it
must be an irq conflict, right?
I tried the configuration in Win. Linux seems pretty reluctant to use
it. hah. I tried using an unused irq (05). I tried using a very
explicit setserial command (setserial /dev/ttyS3 uart 16550A port
[0x02E8] irq 03) and put it in the rc.local file. No dice.
Here's what I get from /proc/devices, /proc/irqs, /proc/ioports:
0: 149454 XT-PIC timer
1: 1192 " keyboard
2: 0 " cascade
4: 456 " serial

Character devices:

I don't have a Yamaha soundcard. And that last bit seems to have been
the result of my experiment with explicit settings. My modem is on
ttyS0, irq 4. The computer's AMDK6II400, Ali motherboard (I know, I
know), wheely mouse, Wacom tablet, genuine Soundblaster 16, 2 hdd, 2 cd
(that's a challenge for another day).
I'd be very glad of anyone's help :)

Nit picking here: 586 = Pentium I (aka Pentium Classic) and
Pentium MMX; 686 = Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III, and
Celeron. (A Pentium II is essentially a Pentium Pro with
MMX and a Pentium III is essentially a Pentium II with

Are you sure you want to do this? You should already have devices
for printers; e.g., /dev/lp0, /dev/lp1, and /dev/lp2, but,
generally speaking, you should not attempt to write on them. If
all you want is another name for one of them, you could do ln -s
/dev/lp0 /dev/printer. I do not recommend it.
Instead, you should be running the print spooler daemon, lpd, and
pipe all your print stuff into it.
For example,
man -t lpr | lpr

We are trying to create an RPM package to install our software.
As part of our installation, we need to install another vendor's rpm
package. Is this possible?? Or, must the user manually install them
individually?
Also, is there a good reference somewhere for creating rpm packages?

I run Red Hat 6.0 with GNOME/Enlightenment. If you are doing that, you can:
Middle-Click on a blank spot of your desktop and select Enlightenment
Configuration. You will get a graphic tool to do anything you want, and more.
But the background may not stay set, and you cannot get at the screensavers.
After you have everything set with Enlightenment Configuration, Left-Click on
GNOME-pawprint->Settings->GNOME Control Center. go to Background and check
"Disable background selection".
You can select from a lot of screensavers on the menu. One pops up system crash
screens as the screen savers. It is upsetting at first, to get a Microsoft Blue
Screen Of Death on your machine when you are running Linux. ;-)
When everything is as you like it, logout, but check the Save Current Setup.
Then you can log back in.

Do an fdisk, see how big the partition is, if it is a tiny partition
as you say then remove it. Before removing it you could coment it
out in the fstab in the directory /etc just to meake sure.

I had no intentions whatsoever of trashing RedHat, but...
Two problems I encountered with 7.0:
1. Graphical installation failed, couldn't configure my card (S3Virge,
shouldn't be that hard, but done enought text installs where this is not a
problem)
2. Package installation failed on signal 11, system hung irretrievably (even
from pseudo-bash prompt install provides). Not totally sure yet what that
means, perhaps someone else knows?
I am trying to install again (clean). We'll see what happens.

What does '/usr/sbin/rpcinfo -p' say?
How about '/usr/sbin/rpcinfo -p hostname'?
How about '/usr/sbin/rpcinfo -p localhost'?
You should get something like this for all of them:
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 rpcbind
100000 2 udp 111 rpcbind
My problem turned out to be an obscure routing problem, whereby
localhost was NOT being routed through 127.0.0.0, but instead out
through eth0. I found this with traceroute. But, I'm the only
person I've ever know to experience this. In any event, rpcinfo
should help you.

Subject: Installing RealProducer Plus 6.0 in Red Hat Linux 6.0
Date: Tue, 03 Oct 2000 12:51:30 -0700
I recently encountered a great deal of frustration trying to set up
RealProducer 6.0 on my Linux box. While seeking help on line, I found
many answers and also discovered that many others have had similar
difficulties. In an effort to minimize wheel-reinventing (which I
myself may have done), I am posting the knowledge I gained from the
horrible experience. Hopefully, Deja and other USENET search sites will
grab onto this information and make it available to all who seek it.
The original version of these notes -- which may have been updated by
the time you read this -- is at
http://sharkysoft.com/tutorials/notes/linux/realproducer/
=====
Installing RealProducer Plus 6.0 in Red Hat Linux 6.0
To install, configure, and run RealProducer Plus 6.0 on a Red Hat Linux
6.0
machine, you must follow a complicated though managable process. These
instructions may be obsoleted by newer versions of RealProducer for
Linux.
Please send feedback if you discover anything interesting.
1. First of all, make sure you have the two distribution tarballs: the
original program and the patch.
o rprodg2_linux.tgz (program distribution)
o rprodg2_patch.tgz (patch)
If you don't have these files, you cannot continue. Obtain them
from
the RealNetworks web site. You can download the patch from
http://docs.real.com/docs/rprodg2_patch.tgz.
I'm not sure where to find the other file (please tell me if you
know).
These instructions will assume you have both files and that you
have
placed them in root's home directory (typically /root).
2. Now, log into your system as root:
3. Unpack the file rprodg2_linux.tgz into a temporary directory:
mkdir /tmp/rprod
cd /tmp/rprod
tar xzvf ~/rprodg2_linux.tgz
4. From the temporary directory, run the installer:
./install
5. Follow the instructions from the installer. Accept all of the
defaults.
6. After the installer has finished, believe it or not, the
application is
still not ready to run. You'll need to patch it. Patching is a two
part
process. (For more information on patching RealProducer for Red Hat
Linux 6.0, see
http://service.real.com/help/faq/reg2faqa1.html#linux.)
7. For the first phase of the patch, unzip the patch tarball into the
directory where you installed RealProducer.
cd /usr/local/rprod
tar xzvf ~/rprodg2_patch.tgz
8. For the second phase of the patch, run the patch program that was
just
deposited into RealProducer's bin directory:
cd bin
./patchrprod
9. Now, if you want to run RealProducer as a non-root user (and you
should), then you need to make a few more changes to your system.
Start by creating a new group of authorized RealProducer users
called
"rprod":
groupadd rprod
10. Next, give group write permission to the RealProducer run-time
library
"lib/enceng.so.6.0" (after making a copy file of the file you are
about
to compromise):
cd /usr/local/rprod/lib
cp enceng.so.6.0 enceng.so.6.0.bak
chgrp rprod enceng.so.6.0
chmod g+w enceng.so.6.0
I have not figured out why this file needs to be writable by the
user,
but I suspect is has something to do with limiting the number of
simultaneously executable copies (when you are running the free
version).
11. Lastly, add the users authorized to run RealProducer to the new
group.
12. And that should be it. Log out and back in as a new user and give
it a
try:
xrealproducer
(Don't forget to load your sound and video drivers first.)
Happy producing!

That works, but I'm interested in the '-t sec' option to see if it gives
more time to the processes to end correctly, because the system is a
proxy server (quite loaded), and very often has to run fsck (that is:
the filesystems get damaged) after rebooting with ctrl-alt-delete.
With the '+1' option, it's all the same, because it justs waits one
minute and then actually shuts down in the same way as before.
I tried to include an space between -t and the number of seconds as Lew
suggested, but it doesn't work either.
Help will be appreciated!!
Thanks,
Jose Luis
