Subject: a few problems -- playing CD, Bind8, wvdial...
Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2000 16:24:24 +0000
1) Bind 8. I have installed Bind8 on Suse and have configured
/etc/rc.config with START_DNS=yes (syntax is something like this)
but the named daemon does'nt start automatically.
I notice that I have no /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/Sxxnamed scripts ..
maybe I need one? Also someone mentioned the rcnamed binary in
but I do not have these binarys either (rcnamed or rvnamed).
I if run /usr/sbin/named from the command line it works fine.
2) Playing CD while logged in as a ordinary user!
When logged in as root I can play CD's fine. As a normal user
I cannot do so. Any ideas ?
ls -l /dev/fd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Oct 9 22:24 /dev/cdrom -> hdc
ls -l /dev/hdc
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 Aug 6 00:22 /dev/hdc
fstab entry:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec, 0 0
3) wvdial ...
running wvdial as ordinary user fails as it cannot read the
/etc/wvdial.conf
but root is ok. How do I get around this?
4) Bind8 again.
My nslookups seem to work fine. However, if I do host <hostname>
it just replies with the hostname -- ip address information but
no MX info.
my named.conf and zone.db files seem ok and named flags no errors.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
noel.

Loadsa ppl know the answer to that one. You needed to do a
little more homework. The answer to this has been posted many
times. Edit the make file and change the reference to gcc to
point to kgcc and install the kgcc rpm.

Subject: Delayed sound with Via686a
Date: 29 Nov 2000 16:14:56 GMT
Hi,
I have a VIA based motherboard with a via686 sound chip builtin the
motherboard.
After some work, I replaced the OSS module with the ALSA module (the former
doesn't make sound under quake :-) while it makes sound under other
programs).
With Alsa, I have sound BUT it is slightly delayed (like 1 to 2 or 3
seconds).
It's really annoying for applications with a lot of action (tuxracer, quake,
KDE2.0 ;-)
The distribution used is Mandrake 7.2
I remember having fixed the same problem on a previous distro but I (alas)
forget the way I found to fix it.
TX for the help

Also, when editing the Makefile in the 2.2.17 kernel, note that there
is a reference to "gcc", but there's also a reference to "cc" in the
"CC = ..." (crosscompiler) statement, that should also be changed to
"kgcc".

I've recently put together a new system, freshly installed Windows 98,
but can't seem to get Mandrake 7.2 linux to boot. It keeps crashing
(hard...I have to power cycle the machine) with:

In swapper task - not syncing
There are two HD's in the system: one SCSI which is all Linux and the
other IDE which is all windows.
I can boot from a Slackware 7.1 SCSI boot floppy with root=/dev/sda5
and it boots fine.
LILO is still installed on the IDE drive and I've tried adding:
x86_serial_nr=1 ide2=0x6800,0x6402 ide3=0x6000,0x5802
which I got from the /proc/pci file when I booted from the slackware
floppy. This was added to both the default 2.2.17 kernel and the
2.4 kernel I installed when I installed Mandrake.
Also, I tried booting off the Slackware floppy with the above options
so I could see the HD on the ATA100 bus (as /dev/hde). I modified
lilo.conf to point to hde instead of hda and added the above lilo
options, re-ran lilo, and got a LI message upon reboot.
Here's the specs on the new system:
Asus A7V, 1GHz T-bird, 128M PC133:
AGP: ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon 32M
slot 1: empty
slot 2: 3com 3C905-TX 10/100 ethernet

Primary and secondary IDE disabled (free's 14 & 15)
Parallel port disabled (free's 7)
USB disabled
The Western Digital IDE drive has only FAT32 partitions with
the first loaded with Windows 98SE
The Seagate SCSI has Mandrake 7.2 installed when the whole
SCSI chain was in my previous PC *exactly* the same. In other
words, all the SCSI devices are connected in the same places
with the same cables with the same SCSI id's as in my previous
PC and it worked fine.
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance!

I am writing a backup script that unloads a database, tars the tables and
then copies the tar file to a zip drive. I want to be able to mount/unmount
the zip drive and have different users access the script. I have tried to
set the script up using suid chmod 4755 script, but it does not seem to run
in suid mode. I want to create temporary files and mount/unmount the zip
drive -- this requires superuser permission.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing improperly?

Subject: RH70 kickstart behaviour change from RH6.2 ...
Date: 29 Nov 2000 11:48:16 -0500
I have found that RH70 kickstart behaves a little differently from
6.2.
In my ks.cfg file, I run rdate and mount a file system from our
kickstart server. Both these operations fail on rh70.
Turns out that the %post section no longer has access to the name
services of the running system. I have had to update /etc/hosts at the
beginning of the %post section...
ks.cfg...
[...]
network --bootproto dhcp
nfs --server kickstart --dir /export/u1/rh70/i386
[...]
%post
echo " ==== Post install section === "
# Any attempt at hostname lookups in %post will fail if the hostname is not
# found in the local hosts table...
echo '192.168.1.1 starfish' >>/etc/hosts
echo '192.168.1.12 kickstart' >>/etc/hosts
echo 'nameserver 192.168.1.1' >>/etc/resolv.conf
rdate -s kickstart
setclock
mkdir /tmp/ks
mount kickstart:/export/u1/kickstart/pkgs /tmp/ks
[...]
Note that the server 'kickstart' declared inthe nfs line at the
beginning of ks.cfg is the same machine and IP as 'kickstart'
mentioned in %post. 'kickstart' is another RH70 machine.
These echo statements were not needed with RH6.2

I am building a 2.2.17 kernel for SuSE 7.0. I have added RieserFS and

I do not get the snd-card-* modules when I compile. These are needed by

Using RH 6.2 kernel 2.2.14, I am trying to setup
a Parallel port Zip drive. I use the following
command to mount the drive:
./iw -m /dev/lp0
iomegaware has no errors (I already created the
/mnt/zip100.0
default mount directory) but the access LED on the drive
never goes on, and the directory in empty.
According to the readme doc, this is all correct to use the
default

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this up?

Not to worry. Linux uses memory for dynamic caching and will
free it when an applcation needs memory.

You have a couple of options...
1) remove or comment out the inittab line, or
2) fix the serial device attached to /dev/ttyS1
The error message comes from init when it senses that the /sbin/getty
has exited too often in too short a time. /sbin/getty exits when it
can't properly manage the serial device it's attached to (it exec's
when it _can_ manage the serial device).
So, your error message stems from some problem (likely hardware) with
/dev/ttyS1 which is causing the inittab-spawned getty to crash too
often. Fix this /dev/ttyS1 problem and getty should be happy. Or, stop
getty from trying to use /dev/ttyS1 in the first place.

Subject: Virtual mem exhaust problem?
Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2000 13:44:49 -0500
Hi,
I am having Virtual Memory problems while compiling a particular app. I
keep getting "Virtual memory exhausted" error so I decided to do a
little investigation about the swap configuration on my RH6.2.
On doing a df -h, I get
Filesystem Size Used Av %use Mounted on
/dev/hda6 1.4G .9G blah blah /
/dev/hda1 19M 2.4M blah blah /boot
/dev/hda5 1.4G .9G blah blah /home
On doing free,
total used avlable
Mem 30M 29M .7M
Swap: 68M 3.5M 64M
Is the partition named "boot" the swap partition (this m/c was someone
else's )? If so, why the disparity bet'en the sizes shown by df vs free
? Or is it that df doen't show the swap partition ? Is a 68M swap size
right or will I be benefitted by increasing it ?
THis is a 32M RAM,180 MHz Pentium machine. Would also appreciate
feedback about how to resolve the "Virtual Mem exhaust" problem. I'm
trying to compile a protocol stack which in turn uses flex and yacc. Any
pointers will be welcome.

Please find the partition table of the secondary master drive following.
As you can see, RHat have recreated hdc11 and hdc12 what it used to be hdc5.
Was the problem because I made the / hdc11 as bootable (*)? If yes, can I
fix that?
Another thing is that when Redhat is booting it displays this:
PTBL (3737/255/63) Hdc1 hdc2[hdc5... hdc12]
while for the rest of my drives it does not display the word PTBL neither
the heads, sectors and cylinders as it does for hdc.
Thank you,
