I had install a SUN office (soffice51) on my linux machine. I installed
it as a root, but now I can not use it as a normal user. When I login as
a normal user, under xterm, I enter "soffice", and wait for a while(it
seems it is runing under background), but nothing happend. If I change
into root, I can run it very well.
what's wrong with my configuration?
Thanks for your help.

Not sure if my last reply got posted.
It sound like you were running XF86R4 with xinerama enabled.
Add "+xinerama" to the server lines at the end of the file
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf.
e.g.
[servers]
0=/usr/bin/X11/X +xinerama

Try using Xfree86R4. Once you have this installed (Which you may already
haveif X is starting on both displays), make X start with the +xinerama
option, this will give you one physical screen with gnome running across
both displays.
Running with two seperate heads caused me no end of problems, xfce and
enlightenment were about the only two window managers that worked well with
this configuration.

Hi there,
I had a similar problem with configuration of ADSL connection.
I could not configure it manualy as well. Problem was solved
as only I disabled P-n-P BIOS option without any my

Huh? kgcc is the one you want for kernel compiling. It's there
explicitly for compatibility, and just for this reason. Use gcc for most
everything else.
Near the top of the kernel makefile find:
AS =$(CROSS_COMPILE)as
LD =$(CROSS_COMPILE)ld
CC =$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I$(HPATH)
Substitute kgcc there for gcc. Or get one of the later 2.2.18pre
kernels. It does this automagically.

Nope. Think a second. src/ contains source code. Where do the include
files for, say, glibc go if you don't have the source code for glibc
installed ( this would be most machines )? This doesn't show up when
thinking about applications but does show up in the set of files needed
to use a library vs. the set of files needed to build the library in the
first place.

Convention. /opt is broken down per-package. If you aren't referencing
the /opt/{package} directories directly, you usually make a link from
/usr/{bin|lib|...} ( or /usr/local/{bin|lib|...} to the appropriate files
under /opt.
Frankly I find /opt a kludge, but it's a reasonable solution when
dealing with packages that like to own their entire directory tree
and don't co-exist well in the same directories as other packages.

Because either would be exactly equivalent to /opt?

Already done, isn't it? At least on my system everything for X11 lives
under /usr/X11R6 except for the config files under /etc/X11.

Hi,
I have tried the RH6.0 CD and while reading the instructions it went
into 'installation' mode. Anyway, I followed the prompts and ended
updating my RH5.2 to 6.0. I have located the LINUX partition as hda6,
and chose that as the LILO site instead of MBR.
Now, Win95 can boot but LINUX would not. :-(
I think I will get LILO to reconize the location of the root as hda6
LILO: linux root=/dev/hda6
and proceed to edit /etc/lilo.conf so that in the image section I will
have root=/dev/hda6
While I am doing all this, I am considering to upgrade Win95 to Win2k.
Is there anything to look out for other than moving LILO to hda6?
I understand that the Win2k installation will trash my MBR. :-P
Thanks for the advice.
Any other opnions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
:-)

Hi All;
Iam running redhat 6.2 server install.
I have managed to set it up to be able to connect to my ISP, to
fetchmail and to browse the web.
I have even managed to setup a local newsgroup using innd and pine. My
question is how can I set it up so that I can download the newsgroups
from my ISPs news-server to my local news server?
At the moment I need to type innd very time to get innd started, how
can I automate this?
Also I tried setting up slrn, but it keeps saying it can not find a
hostname or that I need to setenv NNTPSERVER environment variable.
pine uses (from memory)
ntp-server: gtech/service=NNTP
My hosts file is
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain gtech
If you need more info let me know....

Do a google search (www.google.com) on leafnode or slrnpull.
Any other method requires your ISP to agree to feed you, it's easier
to use something like slrnpull especially if you are using slrn.
>At the moment I need to type innd very time to get innd started, how
>can I automate this?
Same way everything else is automated, write a script to put in
/etc/rc.d/init.d and a link in one of the startup directories (see man
init). I usually copy the lpd script and change the appropriate bits.
If that's too hard, then put
/bin/innd &
in /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
(using the right path of course)
>Also I tried setting up slrn, but it keeps saying it can not find a

Well, give it one or the other :)
In your .slrnrc file, try a line like
nnrpaccess "news.myisp.com.au"
where news.myisp.com.au is the name of your ISP's news server.
Or the name of whichever news server you are using, in your case
gtech?
See the man page for slrn, and the default .slrnrc which can be found
on the web or somewhere like /usr/lib/slrn/slrn.rc

I hope you created a Windows Startup Disk.
Put in the Windows Startup Disk in your floppy.

type the following:

I think you need to create a 16M linux "/boot" partition at the beginning
of the hard drive.

if you have translations set for the keys, it'll override the builtin

Subject: LILO Setup in RH 7.0
Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 21:59:09 -0400
Hello,
I was wondering if someone could help me configure my LILO.CONF file
properly.
I have a UDMA 66 controller w/ 2 - 20g drives attached to it. In order for
me to get RH 7 installed I had to specify
IDE2=0xd400,0xd800 IDE3=0xdc00, 0xe000 during the installation and
everything went fine....but....
when it got to the part about where to put LILO I forgot to add these
parameters during the install....soooo....
Now everytime I want to boot RH 7, I have to CTRL-X to the BOOT: prompt and
type these parms in...
Now I did a little digging and discovered that you can add such parms to the
LILO.CONF file located in the ETC directory.
Well, I've tried adding the line:
append="ide2=0xd400,0xd800 ide3=0xdc00"
to the LILO.CONF file but everytime I boot linux, it halts saying it can't
load the kernal. I end up having to drop to the BOOT: propmt and manually
entering the parms. Its as if it doesn't even recognize the append line. I
have tried adding it to both the beginning of the file and to the linux
stanza. It seems no matter where I put this in the file, it doesn't have
any effect.
Any, suggestions?
Thanks,
Tom
