I installed 2.2.18 with 2 methods : compiling from sources and
installing from mandrake cooker
I can run kwintv from kernel 2.2.17, but neither of my 2.2.18 kernels :
it starts, and I can see a couple of images and hear the sound, and it
immediately seg faults ...
I have a miro PCTV (BT848A), recognised as such by 2.2.17.
I am not sure 2.2.18 does the same (see log)
I attach my modules.conf (bttv card=1 ; tuner type =3)
I also attach the debug log from kwintv under 2.2.17 and 2.2.18, and
report from kv4lsetup, which gives the same result under 17 and 18.
There sems to be a difference in the way the driver recognises the card
and chip, when launching kwintv.
Also, there seem to be a difference in the i2c modules :
2.2.17 loads i2c-core and i2c-algo-bit, while 2.2.18 loads "i2c-old" ...
Anyone an Idea ?

Subject: How to change time format in KDE 2?
Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2001 19:44:17 GMT
I'm running KDE 2.0.1, and have the digital clock in the lower,
right-hand corner.
The time is displayed in 24-hour format.
For example, 2:30 PM is displayed as 14:30.
How do you change the time format to AM/PM format?
Is there a way to display the day of the week?

You need to read the Changes file in /usr/src/linux/Documentation.
Other apps need to be ugraded along with the new kernel, namely
modutils, which is the reason your modules can't be found.

Subject: visible ?
I have win98 pc with 15G hard drive.
I hear that you can install redhat 7 without partitioning
the hard drive because both Linux and Windows use FAT32.
In this case will the code you have in a directory under
linux be visible to everyone if you dial up to AOL when
running AOL under Windows 98.
If it is visible, will it still be visible if you first partition the
hard drive and then install linux on the new partition ?

Right-click the clock and you get the setup menu.

I don't have sudo on my system, so I don't know the exact syntax for that,
but I use something like +1 or +2 instead of 'now' for remote shutdown to
give me time to logout. And don't forget the & at the end so it forks
into the background, otherwise shutdown might never happen if the
'shutdown' terminates when telnet is disconnected.
One idea might be to install Activestate Perl on the Win box and run a
Perl script using the Net::Telnet module to do it. Then it could be a
point and click script.

I can't get cdrecord to work on my machine. Anyone have any ideas? Output
from a cdrecord session is pasted below. I am on MDK7.2 with kernel 2.4.0
if that makes any difference (although I think I had the same problem with
kernel 2.2.18)
A big thanks to anyone who can tell me what I am doing wrong. I know the
burner (slave on secondary drive, but hdd=ide-scsi emulation switched on)
works, because it works on that other operating system that I dual boot
with.
Thanks

Hmm. There are some LInux distributions (WinLinux2000, PhatLinux, some
versions of Mandrake, ZipSlack) that can do a "Partitionless" install on
top of an existing FAT32 filesystem. Didn't know that RedHat 7 could do
that. Anyway, Linux does *NOT* use FAT32 natively, and it cannot have
its root filesystem on FAT32. The "partitionless" installs create a
very large (2G or so) file on your FAT partition, then write an ext2
filesystem within that file ("format"s the file, sort of), then mount
the filesystem via the loopback device. The very large file can be seen
under WinXX, but would be difficult to manipulate in a rational manner
since WinXX lacks a generic loopback device, a real mount command, or
a way to understand ext2 filesystems.
WinXX cannot even see ext2 partitions in its "native" state. Programs
like Partition Magic and explore2fs can see Linux partitions. Your best
bet is to repartition your drive and install Linux normally, since
partitionless installs are slower and can be affected by serious system
troubles within WinXX. There are many resources on
http://linuxnewbies.org/ and http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/ , or you can
find yourself a nearby Linux User Group, or you can find a local friend
who knows Linux. Good luck....

Subject: Linux and Vbasic scripts?
Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2001 16:08:43 -0500
Is anyone out there interested in helping to promote direct democracy?
Two affiliated web sites, vote.org and p2dd.org, have a problem tracking
user links from the first site to the second in Linux. The designer of
the site uses Vbasic scripts to do the tracking. This obviously does
not work for Linux users.
I suggested that they use Java instead of Vbasic. The response was they
need someone who knows Java. Are any of you Linux tech folks willing to
help?
These web sites are promoting a proposed new US Federal law called the
Direct Democracy Initiative (DDI). The proposal is the invention of
former Senator Mike Gravel from Alaska. He has set up a nonprofit
corporation called Philadelphia II for this purpose; hence the p2dd.org
site.
If you can help, please go to visit the site listed in my signature
file.
