Hi,
Can anyone tell me if Java2 Runtime works on FreeBSD? I have installed it

out yet if it's a settings problem or if java can't run at all on FreeBSD.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Mon, 05 Mar 2001 18:55:00 GMT
I recently installed SuSE 7.1 with 2.4 kernel and promptly built a 2.4.2 kernel
which is working great.
I also installed the latest released KDE 2.1 by downloading the RPMs and force
upgrading with rpm and this works great too.
Since the default GNOME that comes with SuSE 7.1 is fairly up-to-date but a bit
incomplete and because I like to keep my GNOME real current too, I decided that
I also wanted to run the ximian-install (helix-install) from www.ximian.com and
get the latest GNOME along with the helix-update utility for automatically
keeping my GNOME current.
I ran the nstaller at ximian started by executing:
'lynx -source http://go-gnome.com/ | sh'
as root and it stated that the 2.4 kernel is not supported and won't let you
continue. After rebooting with a current 2.2.xx kernel, the same ximian
installer states that SuSE 7.1 an unsupported platform and won't let you
continue. After editing /etc/SuSE-release and changing all '7.1' strings to
'7.0', the ximian installer is happy, and downloads and installs all the latest
ximian GNOME RPMs fine. It all works just fine after rebooting with the 2.4.2
kernel too.
Caution: Don't let the ximian gnome installer redefine the default KDM display
manager with the GNOME GDM display manager. I had some problems with GDM and
all the GNOME stuff works just fine when you select GNOME from the KDM display
manager menu.

Download j2jdk1.3-rpm.bin from java.sun.com. It is an executable. Run it
and it prompts you to accept the licensing and then continues on to unpack
the entire distribution into jdk1.3 in the current directory.
Putting the jdk1.3/bin on your PATH should cause java, javac, etc to run
correctly.

Subject: general protection faults and random reboots

Recently, I have started having general protection faults and random
reboots while I play real video movies. I am running RH 6.2 with
kernel 2.2.17-14 and all updates applied. When I run realplay, I
often get messages like the following when I typed dmesg:

There are also times in which my computer just spontaneously reboots.
This seems to indicate some hardware problems. I have downloaded
memtest86 and ran it for a day without finding any problems with the
memory.
Another note: I upgraded from 2.2.16 last week, I don't know if this
may be the problem...
Any help to track down this problem (hardware or software) would be deeply
appreciated.

/usr/src/linux is where the kernel source is location on RH dists.
You need to tell install to install the kernel development 'package'
as /usr/src/linux is part of that package.

Hello,
sounds loke a hw problem, try compiling a kernel, if it stops with the message:

You can be more or less sure it's RAM related.

Yes. ncftp does support resume. When downloading a file which you
already have downloaded partially, it will just ask to continue.

ncftp> get linux-2.4.2.tar.gz
It will ask something like:
(R)esume, (A)ppend, (O)verwrite <and some more options>
Just choose 'R' (without quotes) and it should continue happily.
ncftpd is a ftp server and is not needed (or usable at all!) to download
files.

You need to use Samba on the Linux machine so that you can use SMB services
to connect to W2K machines.
Note that to work with Win2K you must use Samba version 2.0.7 or later and
that there are possible problems with W2K usernames with an even number of
characters.
Check out the Samba websites - www.samba.org for fuller details.

I asked a similar question in one of my school's newsgroups, and here's one
of the responses I got:
From: Pierre Baldensperger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Re: SCSI spindown
There was a program called 'scsi-idle' allowing you to set up a spindown
timeout for SCSI drives. However, beware of spinning SCSI hard drives up
and down. If you usually never use the drive, that's okay, but if this
manipulation makes the drive spin up and down like 6 times a day, you
should better let it spin all the time to avoid shortening its life. SCSI
drives are usually specified to have a longer lifetime than IDE drives,
but this takes different constraints into account : since SCSI is usually
used in servers or workstations that are rarely shut down / rebooted, the
emphasis is put on durability while spinning and you can check from the
specs that the MTBF is indeed very big, but the number of allowed spin up
/ spin down cycles is much smaller than for average IDE drives, which are
engineered in prospect to run W and as such to be rebooted all the time.
After some followups, the answer I got was that if I wanted to spin the
drive down once a week or so, that would probably be ok, but I should
check with the drive's specs. That being said, the drive life of SCSI
disks is usually limited by the spin up/down cycles - not the hours in
use...

Two possibilities - either there is no suitable mode defined (something which
is highly unlikely with 4.0.x as there are a large collection of default modes)
or you have the wrong monitor refresh rates in the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
file. XFree86 picks the best mode it can use with the monitor.
Make a backup copy of the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. Dig out your favourite
editor as root and look through for something which starts Section
"Monitor". It should look something like this (based on the numbers you gave
above).
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "COMPAQ"
ModelName "AP2000"
# These two values should be appropriate to your monitor
# Horizontal Sync in units of kHz
HorizSync 30.0-100.0
# Vertical refresh rate in units of Hz
VertRefresh 50.0-170.0
EndSection
The important lines are the HorizSync and VertRefresh ones - the rest is just
window dressing (except the Identifier which is used in the Section
"ServerLayout" part).

Hi.
I am running Bind 9.1.0 on my RedHat 7.0 box. I am running dynamic DNS

So bind 9 writes the updates to a journal file - but those journals just

rewritten periodiccaly. For example my reverse zone:
# ls -l /var/named/16*
-rw-r--r-- 1 named named 4318137 man mar 05 21:35:35 2001
16.172.rev.jnl
-rw------- 1 named named 7141 man mar 05 21:15:58 2001
16.172.rev
How do I make named clean up the journal files (I do not want to delete
them as this could bring DNS out of sync)?
TIA

Subject: problems with cross-mounting
Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2001 16:02:27 -0500
I'm running Redhat 7.0 on both a local and remote system Dell PC. When
trying to use the following mount command:
mount remote:/var/exports/home /testmount
I get the error:
mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused
Note, I can ping (and telnet) to either the local or remote system. I also
have an entry in the exports file on the remote system for the
/var/exports/home directory.
Any ideas?
thanks,
glenn

Subject: GLX not loading
Date: 5 Mar 2001 21:09:16 GMT
Hi all,
i'm using a mandrake 7.2 system with nvidia's drivers. nv_check.sh says
everything is installed correctly, but neither GLX, NV_GLX nor NVIDIA_GLX
show up on xdpyinfo and i get no opengl support :-(
I compiled the nvidia kernelmodul and it works (or at least it shows up
as loaded with lsmod). I copied all libs in by hand and made backups of
the mesa libs which must be deleted for the nvidia driver to work. I put
Load "glx" into my XF86Config-4 (X4.01) and changed nv to nvidia. X starts
without errors but the glx modules do not get loaded. Does anyone know
what i could do or where i could look for the error? I read through lots
of readme's regarding nvidia's drivers but couldn't find anything.
Thanks,
Markus

I think what you really need is a short emacs tutorial. If you start
emacs and you are using X, then one is available from the pull down
help menu. You can also type "control" and "h" at the same time, let
the keys rise, then hit "t". I would advise that if you are set on
doing some programming, to set aside about two hours or even more to
work through the tutorial.
One of the nice things about emacs is that it will work largely the
same on windows.
Emacs in the default set up should recoginize a code file and go into
the appropriate mode -- C, C++, perl, lisp, etc all have useful
modes. But you can opperate perfectly fine from the ordinary
"fundamental" mode.
Other nice features include the fact that you can compile within
emacs, and click or hit enter on a compiler error or warning and it
will jump to that file and place in your code; that you can run the
debugger and go step by step, and it will highlight the lines of code
as it runs through them; all the little stuff that people generally
think of when they think of a development system.
Have fun. It's a bit of a learnign curve but definitely worth it, and
the knowledge you gain can be used on emacs runnign on any platform.
--Rob
P.S. You may find the emacs related newsgroups a good source of
information.
