Hi, I am setting up Linux for the first time on my system, I am very
much a beginer and was installing it to learn to use it. I installed
SuSE Linux V. 6.3 and it seemed to work fine, thing was my Altec
Lansing USB Power Cube wasn't working. So a friend of mine installed a
different sort of sound driver, or some such, not really sure what he
did. Now my speakers work, but now my USB mouse won't respond. Any
ideas at all?
Thanks

Hello,
Could someone be so kind as to point me to some docs on how to speed up
X / Linux? I bought a new Athalon 600MHz computer which is really fast,
but X and Linux are dog'n, and I really like to speed things up. I
benchmarked the computer and it is really fast, there is just something
not working in the configuration.

Yep. I shifted the stuff to /usr/src/linux and sadly it didn't make a

I decided to double check that I have satisfied all of the software
requirements, and it looks as though I may have libc6 installed, but not
libc5 (although it's hard to tell for a newbie like me). Do you think
this could be the problem? I'll try installing libc5 and let you know

Maybe, but I got it from www.kernel.org and I don't think it could
possibly have been corrupted at my end, since I'm sure my 'net
connection and my hardware are perfectly healthy.

How much RAM, and how old is the CDROM drive? I'd say that the drive is
prolly dying, or you have less than the 32MB of suggested RAM needed.
For LTP you most definitely need alot more than 32MB for it to run well.

GRUB's default behavior is to boot the system as well, assuming that its
configured properly. LILO won't boot anything if its setup wrong.

I guarantee that it was a different version of XFree86, since LTP uses
XFree86-4.01. All you'd have to do to fix that is run lizardx to
reconfigure.
So, as I previously stated, the overwhelming majority of your problems
are due to a misunderstanding of the what you're trying to do, and not a
problem with the Caldera product.

How to solve the problem like these :
If mysqld is currently running, you can find out what path settings it is
using by executing this command:
shell> mysqladmin variables
or
shell> mysqladmin -h 'your-host-name' variables
If safe_mysqld starts the server but you can't connect to it, you should
make sure you have an entry in `/etc/hosts'
that looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
This problem occurs only on systems that don't have a working thread
library and for which MySQL must be configured to
use MIT-pthreads.

Hi all.
I have done a dual boot workstation install of RedHat 6.2 on a p2 400.
Everything seems to boot fine, and kde loads as expected. I am trying to
get my internal modem running (no its not a winmodem). Under windows it is
configures as com 3, so i tried to use setserial /dev/ttys2 to set the
appropriate irq and port settings and get it to run, but all i get is an
Input/Output error. In fact, I get the same error for every port on my box.
I have tried turning plug and play off in bios, using setserial to set the
ports, but I cant even change values for irq etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks - Chris

Subject: Mounting CDROM under ATAPI-SCSI emulation
Date: Thu, 07 Sep 2000 20:58:51 -0400
Just set everything up to do SCSI emulation for cdrecord. Boot messages
indicate that the drives are there, the /dev entries are there, and
burning a CD worked perfectly. I can't mount cd's, though. When I try
mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom
I get
mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/cdrom as a block device
Support is compiled into the kernel (2.2.17) and, as I said, cdrecord
burned a cd with no problems.
The burner is Master on the secondary ide chain with a normal cdrom
drive as slave on that chain. Both show up if I do a cat /proc/scsi/scsi
What am I doing wrong?

No, don't do that. libc5 is obsolete; if you don't need it, you're
better off leaving it alone. The kernel documentation is only intended
to say "if you have libc5 at all, you need at least this version".

It can happen sometimes. If you still have the tarball around then it
might be worth checking the signature against that found alongside it at
www.kernel.org.
Some kind of other software problem is probably more likely, though.
What distribution are you running? (Just as a point of reference ...)

That more or less rules out hardware errors at least, which is a good
thing. :)

Subject: LILO with 2 drives - please help
Date: Fri, 08 Sep 2000 01:25:37 GMT
OK, here's my setup:
I have a 20Gig hard-drive connected to an "Promise UltraATA 100"
controller card. I purchased this card so that I could get ATA 100
speeds in Win98. I have a 2 year old motherboard which didn't even
support ATA66. By win98 disk speed is very fast now.
This left just my DVD and CD-RW on the secondary IDE controller. The
primary IDE controller was now free.
So I put in an old 6GIG hard drive as a master on the primary IDE
controller. No prob.
I want Linux mandrake 7.1 on the 6gig. I have win98 on the 20gig. I
want dual boot. I have BootMagic, so I want to use this to dual-boot.
By the way I have to install it on the 6 gig ... Mandrake installer
cannot see the 20gig hard drive ... I guess because it's not a
_normal_ IDE drive ... it's plugged in through this Promise card.
Mandrake gives the error "No Windows Partition found" during install
when I try to install to the 20gig hard drive.
When I install linux on the 6 gig drive (no problem since it's an IDE
drive on the primary IDE which is considered /dev/hda in the
installation program), I cannot figure out how to configure LILO to
boot linux off the 6gig drive.
My system BIOS is configured to boot from the 20gig drive. I have
bootmagic installed on the boot-loader there. I can boot into win98
just fine. Having configured bootmagic to see the linux 6gig drive
after the linux install, I get just "LI" when I select "Linux" from
LILO.
It's not the 1024 cylinder limit .. I checked that. I know this
because I switched my system bios to boot the 6gig drive first (the
system goes right into "LILO:". This worked. My LILO config has
/dev/hda5 as the place to boot linux.
However, when I switch the system BIOS back to boot from the 20gig
drive, BootMagic comes up. When I select "Linux" I would expect it to
go try and boot from the 6gig drive, which is setup as /dev/hda5. But
again, I get just "LI".
The only way for me to boot linux is from a floppy. argh.
So my thoughts were that at system boot time with the 20gig drive
booting, that the 6gig drive MAY not be considered '/dev/hda5' anymore
since the system booted from the 20gig drive through the Promise
controller card. Maybe the system is confused.
And I can't use the 6gig drive as the system's first boot device. Why?
Well, it's because I don't know how to configure LILO to tell it where
the 20gig drive is. It's not mountable that I can see ... it's this
weird drive going through the Promise controller card.
I also tried putting these lines in my lilo.conf with no luck:
disk=/dev/hde
bios=0x80
disk=/dev/hda
bios=0x81
Anyone else had a similar problem? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

IMHO debian is reasonably small, efficient, friendly and well-maintained.
Slackware claims it needs "20 to 300 Mbytes" to install, and I'd say that
my overall experience with it for this purpose was negative. I ended up
having to tweak and recompile a lot of stuff. RedHat seems to advertise
their product's usefulness along these lines, but I don't have any
experience with it.

/dev/cdrom is symlinked to /dev/scd0
The error message I typed up there is incorrect (mount complains about
/dev/scd0, not /dev/cdrom). Sorry.

Well when I type route -n it shows;
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
203.48.5.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 203.48.5.2 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0
Does this help....
