Hi,
I can't run Xfree86 3.3.6 (on Debian) with the SVGA server deserved by
my video card.
In Xserver, there is a ref to the file XF86_VGA16
and with this file, there is no XF86_SVGA ... so i can't use it .
any suggestions ?
thanks for help

Actually the original mac didn't have hierarchal menus. It had two levels:
the main menu (like file, edit, search, etc.) and the the items in it.

Hi.
I've read all the documentation on GNU process accounting.
I turn on the bin from /etc/rc.d/rc.local
The kernel I'm using has process accounting enabled.

There's is no activity.
Nothing writes to /var/log/pacct

Subject: Linux acronyms wanted

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello.
I compiled a list of acronyms in the Unix world and their meanings
(you find it at http://www.roesler-ac.de/wolfram/acro/) and
discovered that, apart from the name "Linux" itself, it has no
Linux-specific acronyms at all. Since Linux is evolving into one
of the most important Unix flavours, and since I'm sure there
must be some abbreviations specific to Linux, and since I'm not
in the Linux world myself, I'd like to ask you Linuxers to tell
me about those special acronyms.
Please reply to the newsgroup or, if you wish to reply by mail,

Because I have subscribed to mailing lists, and also because of spam mails,
I would like to find a good client that has the same functionality as M$
Exchange (sorry for that) has : that is have an "offline" (don't know the
proper term) feature, where you get the subjects of your incoming mails (but
not the body), and then you can select which you want to download.
I may be asking something obvious, but I know only 1 client under W95 that
would do it, and I am not aware of linux clients ...
Thanks in advance.

Has anyone gotten kde2 running on redhat7 yet? I finally solved all the
dependency problems (most related to kdevelop) and got rpms installed
for qt, and all the kde packages. Trouble is when I try and swithed from
helix to kde (using switchdesk... which comes up with kde 2 as an option
by the way), I get an error that says kde2 not installed. All of the
packages seem to be available under helix (although, there are on icons
on the kde menu... which seems strange).
Any thoughts?

Hi,
I would like to know if there is some way to use "mount"
command to mount a remote NTFS partition like this:
# mount -t ntfs /mnt/subdir IP:/dev/...
PS: The mount point must be read-write.
The default read-only driver from RH6 doesn't work for me.
I can't use Samba smbmount to do this, cause there is
a bug when it is acessing a remote database (no refresh
from remote data at Linux machine).

No wonder people complain about how rude the Linux newsgroups
are. The guy asks three simple questions, all he gets are
snotty "what's that? why do you want to do that?" responses. If
you don't understand the question either ifnore it or ask
politely for more information. If you don't know the answer,
just STFU.
>> >1. A mailclient that kan work with Exchange Server..
>It uses a microsoft protocol... not pop or imap (it can do ofcourse...)
If your Exchange server has pop/imap disabled, then you're
screwed. There are no Unix clients that support COM/MAPI. I'd
bet good money there never will be (unless the courts split up
MS such that Exchange Server and Outlook come from different
corporations).
If you can talk the admin into enabling IMAP and SMTP on
Exchange server you can use any client you want.
>I dont need the videos at work, but i would like a player

There is a company called InterVideo working on a DVD player
for Linux: www.intervideo.com. It was supposed to be shipping
many months ago, but last I heard it's still in the "demo"
stage.
There is also an open-source player (not really ready for
prime-time, though): www.linuxvideo.org
>SourceSafe is a control version system, much like CVS...
There used to be versions of SourceSafe for Solaris (it sucked,
and it sucked _bad_). You could run the Solaris one under
Linux, but it's _really_ not worth the effort.
The best option for accessing VSS is to use Source-Off-Site
from Sourcegear. You run a server program on a Win32 box
somewhere that has access to the VSS database, and then you can
run a client on Linux. It works quite well, but it's not free:

RCS is fine for multiple users. However, they all need direct
access to the RCS repository. It doesn't work well for users
distributed over the network. CVS is much better at that.

I'd recommend IMAP over POP. Exchange server's IMAP server is
a bit wonky, but it's better than the POP server (or so I've
read -- I've always used IMAP and never had a problem until
BOFH shut off IMAP).

Unfortunately I cannot aid you in getting KDE t work on RH7, since I am

TrollTech and compiled it (which seems to have worked fine). Now I am

Subject: whole directories just disappeared
Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2000 17:14:33 -0400
Hi,
I experience a strange problem with one of our Linux clusters - whole
directories just disappeared. The first time it happened after an outage
when /usr directories of all eight nodes of the cluster disappeared. The
logs of this eight nodes showed their last record at exactly the same
time - very early in the morning, the time of the outage. The second
case, when all files from the /scratch directory of one node disappeared
but the directory tree was preserved, happened after rebooting.
Recently there was one more similar accident with another node on the
same cluster. There were no indications in the log files that something
wrong was going on at that time, except that nfs. I wonder is somebody
else around has ever experienced similar problem?
Here is the background:
Beowulf cluster of Supermicro/P6DBE motherboards, SMP, PIII/600. The OS
is Linux/RedHat6.0. Each node is running PBS and MPI and has a local
/scratch disk. All scratch disks are mutually cross mounted with nfs.
Let me say also that we have another Supermicro/P6DME cluster and have
never had any problem with it.
I am not sure which newsgroups should I address this problem but I will
highly appreciate any hint that may point us to the cause of this
strange behavior.
Thanks in advance,
Ted

Well, maybe you wouldn't have to pay Microsoft if Compaq
were to offer a Linux option for their hardware. I though the
"Microsoft on everything you ship" deal was struck down by
the courts. Certainly isn't legal here (and one customer got
a refund when they rejected Windows preinstalled on a
laptop).
I believe Symbian's EPOC operating system costs $5 for
a communications device like a phone, and $10 for an
organiser. Maybe someone could persuade Compaq to
port that also. It would be nice to have a decent operating
system and applications running on a fast platform.

You are exactly right, muzh. But I already thought of that and have
already removed all the expansion cards. I still cannot get the
computer to accept any input at all beyond changing the settings in the
setup utility. I am a million miles away from ever seeing a dos prompt
or a unix prompt. It just freezes solid right after displaying the ide
disk information normally, no error message or anything. If I remove
the hard disk, is there a possibility that it then might boot to the
floppy? Another piece of the puzzle is that it froze like this once
before but i fixed it by removing the nic card. . . at which point,
bios seemed to think that my hard disk was twice as big as it was
before.
