Oh, ok. I was slowly drawing this conclusion. I'm having some
trouble with the kernel compile setup here (I think more and more
this Mandrake stuff is a little flaky) but I'll explore this
direction.
Thanks for the tip.

I have setup a redhat 6.2 server with network connection to the internet.
Anyway when I sat this thing up I never had the chance to install a GUI, I
figure on a server setup this is normal. But now I would like to have a GUI
can someone please give me detailed directions on how to do this. I have
spent about 3 weeks running different things from the command prompt and
have gained some knowledge of the system. Can I install KDE on a server?
Thanks in advance for your help.....

Subject: rsync problem - please help!
Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2001 11:32:27 +1100
Hi,
I'm hoping you are able to give me some advice. The problem I am having is
that I need to schedule a cron job to run rsync to replicate a database and
website here at work. If I run the job below, every time the job is run, an
rsync and ssh2 process are left in the R process state (runnable - on run
queue). These processes begin to take up much of the memory fairly quickly.
But if I was to run the rsync at the command line it runs and exits
perfectly. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong here? :)
#!/bin/sh
# Replicating the databases and tables from Inet-aus1 to Inet-usa1
# 0 * * * * root
rsync --verbose --progress --stats --compress --rsh=/usr/local/bin/ssh2 --re
cursive --times --perms --links --delete --exclude="*.err" --exclude="*.log*
" --exclude="*.pid" /usr/local/mysql/var 192.168.11.1:/usr/local/mysql >
/tmp/output.rsync.mysql
Thanking you very much for any help you may be able to offer!

Sorry, can't tel you why it doesn't work. However, you can capture
the stderr stream as well as stdout by adding ``2>&1'' to the end of
your command. E.g.:
rsync --verbose --progress --stats --compress \
--rsh=/usr/local/bin/ssh2 --re cursive --times --perms --links \
--delete --exclude="*.err" --exclude="*.log* " --exclude="*.pid" \
/usr/local/mysql/var 192.168.11.1:/usr/local/mysql > \
/tmp/output.rsync.mysql 2>&1

Does it always write the same thing to the boot partition or whereever is
indicated with the boot= parameter?
I'm wondering cause I'm still having this LI thingie from my second Linux
installation on drive 3 but I 'm wondering if I told it to boot from hda5
for example if after that it would pick up the image from hdc1.

Subject: Re: Bizarre problem on Samba
Date: Thu, 08 Feb 2001 01:46:57 GMT
Okay,
First, I would like to say thank you to those who made an effort to help
with my problem.
Second, I wish to convey the bit of knowledge I have acquired for future
news-stalkers who may have had this problem.
The problem is with the NT clients. There is a web service that allows you
to cycle through wallpapers and screensavers called "Webshots". You
download a client from them, and create an archive of photos from their
galleries, then it changes them at fixed intervals. It is this program that
appears to have caused all of my woes, and cost us days of labor. So, to
anyone who wants to use samba on their network, here is my advice: DO NOT
USE WEBSHOTS ON ANY OF THE CLIENT PC'S. It does something, I don't know
what, but something hidden to your netbios functioning.
The only thing that seems affected is the sharing of hidden directories, you
will get the error "the network connection cannot be found" when clicking on
subdirectories of the hidden share.
The work-around is to map, the old fashioned way (as I described earlier)
with the "net use" command. Mapping with the Network neighborhood won't
work.
That is the scoop. I hope it is of help to someone some day.
Cheers!
Chris

Subject: VIA AC97 sound problems
Date: Wed, 07 Feb 2001 17:57:07 +0100
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
Peter

if it just prints out LI when you try to boot up this is the error:
LI The second part of LILO loaded but could not
execute. This is usually caused by a disk
geometry mismatch. This can also mean that the
/boot/boot.b file was moved and you did not run
the map installer.
i think if you just boot from a lilo boot disk [or the install cd with a
'boot root=/dev/hda<drive#> single' at the lilo prompt] and then run
/sbin/lilo again it will clear up the error.
i have a list of the rest of the lilo error codes if you would like.

One more time - thanks to all of you. Roughly 10 days of good work
and I have success. Linux up and configured, routing configured,
apache up, samba up (but still needs some tweaking), 1 Virtual domain
hosted, ftp, telnet services up and accessible, 4 user accounts up and
working, routing across NT working, down time * zero * for the last
couple of days - although the next time I try to "tweak" something
that may change ;-)
For everyone that wants to do this - go for it. I couldn't break
linux. If I screwed it up, I reinstalled and started over but that's
one way to learn it.
Integration with HomeSite - working
MySQL not quite there but that's not a linux problem. (The db works
but I'm having some trouble addressing it via the web page [more
reading to do]).
Thanks again.

don't bother reading the faq. you'll end up waisting alot of your time
because redhat is already set up to be a router. all you have to do is
type: [at the root prompt]
root@...# ipchains -P forward DENY
root@...# ipchains =A forward -i ppp0 -j MASQ
root@...# echo 1> /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
then set your clients up to use your linux box's ip address at the
gateway.
you also have to make sure the computers on your net can 'see' each
other. use ping 'ipaddress' to check connectivity between computers.

that the problem you are describing will happen if a pci video card is

I have done that. It seems to be something to do with the fact that is on
