I maintain a system calle "doit" that does just that. It's been
holding up the department for years. If nagged I'll release
the system on freshmeat, or just give it to you to try. The
problem is the setup ... one has to condition both servers and

In the /usr/share/lyx/layouts directory there's a whole bunch of layouts
that don't show in the layouts->document->class list in LyX. I want to use
the Broadway and Hollywood classes (and check out some of the others), but
why don't they work?
The documentation says some of these need to be installed from the tex
directory, but how do I do that?
Can someone outline a solution or point to where I can find out how to
install them?
Thanks,

Subject: very basic basic newbie question
Date: Thu, 08 Feb 2001 23:22:22 GMT
Hi, sorry to bug everyone with such a simple question... are there any key
shortcuts in GNOME to help me navigate if the mouse doesn't respond..?
I'm brand new to Linux.. I'm trying to install RedHat 7 and having major
problems with X configuration.
1st time I got it working but the desktop was about 4x larger than the
screen.. tried different resolution but then desktop only took up half the
screen. I guess this is because I chose a monitor which was close to mine
(but not exact). I have a CTX 1569S and chose CTX 1565. (Video card is an
ATI 3d Xpression+). I have now found what I think are the H & V sync rates
and reconfigured it as custom but now the mouse does not work!! It's a dual
boot config and the mouse still works in Win 95 so it ain't a hardware
fault. The GNOME desktop comes up correctly proportioned in the screen but
several of the apps open as well (such as help browser and what looks like a
file browser). The panel is autohide and I cannot get it to appear. I can't
close any of these windows down because Alt doesn't seem to activate the
menu items...
What is happening.....?

Subject: Where does $PATH come from?
Date: Thu, 08 Feb 2001 15:16:55 -0800
On my Red Hat and Mandrake systems, I always get long, redundant PATH
variables. For example:
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin::/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games
Now, I'm aware of /etc/bashrc, /etc/profile, /etc/profile.d/ and the
~/.bash* directories. Something else is setting
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin::/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games before I ever
log in. Then, after I log in,
/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games is being appended.
PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin is in my .bash_profile.
Where and what is setting the path before and after my .bashrc?

I had forgotten about ld.so.conf. I put the path in there, ran ldconfig
-v and the output from there on the screen was correct, as far as I can
tell (in particular, the libmetal.so was in there). But when I examined
/lib/modules/2.2.14-VA.2.1smp/modules.dep (which was updated), neither
the directory /usr/lib/gtk/themes/engines nor anything in that directory
appeared. Rerunning depmod -a did not help either (it rebuilt
modules.dep, but the libraries in question do not appear).

No it isn't. "Believing that if you believed it then you would know it"
is not covered by any of the above (to randomly mix up some operators
and serve them to you).

No. To be exact, I was pointing out that the free algebra of terms
involving belief and knowledge and propositional symbols has
considerably more schemas than three within it. If you want to
cut down the number you have to propose some semantics.
By the looks of it, Bp \/ ~Kp \/ B~p is one of his axioms,
but I don't see that forcing a whole lot of things on its own,
so there are a whole pile of non-equal terms still hanging around.
Convince me that "Believing that if you believed it then you would
know it" has one of the three values suggested for a start!

I just did :-). (but to be exact, I meant that I can claim anything that I
can express).

Aaron? Which quote was Aaron's? If you mean that set of three
proposed truth values, it isn't the same at all.
Look .. my statement above is that ~Bp is not always the same as B~p.
I.e. either ~Bp and B~p or Bp and ~B~p can hold sometimes. His
statement is that either Bp or B~p or ~Kp always holds. I think he also
meant that those are exclusive (though they aren't) I.e. that Bp and
~B~p at the same time are impossible. By swapping p for ~p, you see
that he also thinks that B~p and ~Bp at the same time is impossible. So
he thinks that what I think can sometimes hold, never can hold.

Eh? Are you talking about nonstandard models? I.e where one
views truth values as functions, and modal operators as functionals?
Probably.
Yes one can model nonstandard logics within classical set theory, just
as one can model classical set theory within topoi or category
theory. That's good to know. It shows there's nothing wrong with
either.

I'm not sure. I presume I'm either atheist or agnostic but I don't know
which. I don't think anyone can describe god in any way that I can be
clear enough about to formulate an opinion on. Yes, I am sure there is
no old man with a snowy beard looking after the universe, but
presumably nobody would describe that as God nowadays. And every
definition that I might propose (and could believe to be impossible)
would be dismissed by a believer.
Yes, I have argued with the bendictines ... and very very wise
and scholarly are they.

Yes. Absolutely. And at that point, "Martian" would no

That's how language works. The only trick is to avoid the
false equivocation fallacies that would occur if you switched
definitions in the middle of a discussion. Pick one and keep
using it consistantly within a context.

Assuming you can find some way to differentiate the members of your

cards, and then "Martian" would mean "guy who carries one of these
cards."

And whether you have knowlege is a DIFFERENT question from whether
you have belief, so agnositicism is totally orthogonal to the
theism/atheism issue. It gets confusing because many agnostics
happen to also be fence-sitters between theism and atheism (because
they have no knowlege, they aren't sure, they sort of half believe
and half don't believe in god, not really sure if they should or
not, and so people get fooled into thinking that that's all there is to
anosticism - that it's just the middle ground between theism and
atheism. But it's not. I am BOTH an agnostic AND an atheist, and
I'm not alone in saying that. My position is that since I have no
knowlege, I'll side with what I see as the only sensible default,
and that's atheism, NOT the halfway sorta-maybe-not-sure-if-I-should-
-believe-or-not position that a lot of other agnostics seem to have.
Why do I see atheism as the sensible default? Because of this:
What evidence would I expect to find if god existed? I don't know,
depends on the god I guess. What evidence would I expect to find if
god didn't exist? Answer: None. So in other words, if god didn't
exist, there'd be absolutely no way to sway one's opinion in that
direction - God not existing would result in an utter lack of
any evidence whatsoever. So when I find a lack of any evidence in
the real world, while this doesn't prove god doesn't exist, it
certainly makes it a reasonable starting *hypothesis* until more
evidence shows up. In no way does this count as being a "belief".

Howdy all. I just compiled the 2.4.1 kernel on my test box. No problems.
I had installed Red Hat 7.1 beta 3 and it took to it like a duck to
water.
However, I wanted to install the 2.4.1 kenrel on my production machine
that has a SCSI card, i.e. an Adaptec card, and when I went to do a
"/sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.1.img 2.4.1" I got an error message
saying the following:
[root@quasi 2.4.1]# /sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.1.img 2.4.1
No module aic7xxx found for kernel 2.4.1
Any ideas. I cannot do a "make install" now since it cannot find the
image. Is the 2.4.1 kernel not needing this image anymore?
Thanks.

It's a ridiculous reaction from your side, considering that I posted to
no more than TWO groups and considering that I am far from being a

By the way, I expected some good answer to my question, not such a

Subject: Trouble with via ac97 sound
Date: Fri, 09 Feb 2001 01:55:50 +0100
Once again, because someone made the former thread kind of useless...
Hello!
Using Suse 6.4, Kernel 2.2.14 with a VIA AC97 soundchip I have some
problem with sound under linux.
The kernel drivers don't support the chip, so I had to find out that
ALSA might be helpful (and OSS, which for various reasons proves to be
an even inferior solution for me).
With ALSA I can listen to wav, au, mp3, cd audio, but not to midi,
which, however, is not the real problem I am talking about (there is a
program called "timidity" which gives me midi sound by on-the-fly
converting midi to wav without touching the midi files, so that is
o.k.).
Here is - finally - my problem:
I can't get sound to work with the quake games series (especially quake
and quakeworld), and ALSA even mentions that quake has to segfault
because there is a problem with "mmap" (whatever that means). So without
sound I am unable and unwilling to play these games.
Is there any realistic alternative to get quake sound under linux with a
VIA AC97 (and without upgrading the kernel to 2.3.x or 2.4, where I
found some experimental stuff with www.google.com)?
Someone of you all with VIA AC97 got a good solution? Or is this
hopeless?
Thanks
