hi,
i know that for image generation on Linux with Servlet, i must have a
X11 server up....
so on my linux redhat 7.0 (with gnome) everything works great... with
jdk1.3.02 from sun
but when i put my servlet on a Redhat 7.0 (simple X11 without gnome)
with X11 up, servlet container (resin) tell me that it can't access to
DISPLAY :0.0 :(((
so how can i put the rights on Java ? on Linux ?
DISPLAY is well define to :0.0 in srun.sh...
thanks for any help

Subject: partitioning
Date: Mon, 02 Apr 2001 08:59:09 GMT
hi, i'm a bit of a newbie to linux, and i am working towards installing
RH7 on my new comp that i'm (hopefully) getting very soon. I will also
be installing Win98 on it.
i'm a little confused about the partitions on the linux side of things...
could someone tell me what partitions i NEED and what partitions
i SHOULD HAVE, and how big each should be? as well as what they
are used for.
from what i can gather, i need a "/" partition, a "/boot" partition, a swap
partition, praps a "/home", "/usr", and maybe even a "/var".
i'm not sure which of each of these is required, and what each is used for.
i think "/home" is for my data files yes? '"/var" for my application
installs?
anyone shed some light on the matter for me? thnx

you *need* a / partition for linux, but that's all you need.
And actually that's not entirely true, as there are some distro's that allow
a so called partitionless install, where you can install inside the windows
FS,
on an image file. I wouldn't advise you to do that though.

there's a good howto on the subject of partitioning.
Perhaps you should read that first.

no, /home is for the users home-directories.
(a sort of C:\My Programs)
> "/var" for my application

no, that would be /usr (or /usr/local, or /opt)
/var is mainly logs.
but read that howto, and perhaps buy a god book on *NIX

that's not normal.
try it again, and use <ctrl><alt><function keys 1 to 6> to see if an error
is
reported somewhere. <ctrl><alt><F7> will get you back to the installer.
Don't try to install everything, and choose expert install, don't go for the

And don't use the automatic partitioning option, your capable enough of
choosing
for yourself. Read the partitioning howto, and never trust any automated
tool.
It's the main reason why MS-windows is so annoying, it keeps assuming it

Much as I hate to praise Micrsoft, internet explorer
has a neat method of saving web pages- a pointer file and
a dir full of images.
The only way with netscape seems to be to edit in composer
and save this--- as a dogs dinner of loose files in the dir of
choice. And a separate dir for each one. there must be a better way.
Is mozilla or galeon any better.

that's referring to the VT100*translations resource (Redhat's one of the
worst offenders here, having modified the translations resource to change
the behavior of the backarrow/backspace key). xmodmap on top of that
just makes things more interesting.

Subject: Howto connect Win2k to Samba ?
Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2001 12:58:32 +0200
Reply-To: "tu|sa" <tu|[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi ...
I've got samba running on SuSE 7.0 Pro as a fileserver/domain-controller.
Windows-clients (in this case 9x and ME) in my network use this
domain-controller to log on to the network domain; I've set the 'Client for
Microsoft Networks' to log on to a Windows NT domain. This works
like a charm.
I want the Win2k-Pro machines to log on to my samba domain-controller
too, but I can't get it to work ... I don't now which properties to adjust
of the Win2k network-settings. When I try to make a Win2k machine a
member of my domain, the following error occurs:
"... while attempting to join the domain "GODS":
The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials"
The general idea is that user information (such as a user's favorites
folder,
My Documents and so on) is stored and administrated on the Samba
domain-controller and when a user logs on to any particular machine in
the network, their specific/personal info and files are
retreiveved/accessible
through the Samba-server.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
greets, Tulsa.
i have set the following parameters in /etc/smb.conf:
[global]
..... (other paramaters)
os level = 34
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
logon home = \\fileserver\%U
logon path = \\fileserver\%U\.profilewin

Not true depending on the version of Lilo you are using. In latter
versions in the global section of lilo.conf use lba32 vice linear and
lilo can support boot sections beyond the 1024 cylinders limit.

Dear all,
Friday night i had a nice running system...Win2000 for my wife's picture
Programs,eMail, the CD-Writer,the Digital Camera and MANDRAKE 7.2 (slim Version you
find on PC-Mags). I really don`t know what posessed me when I installed SUSE 7.1
without cleaning the mandrake-part and the boot-sector...anyway, after 2 hours my disk
was a blank without a name and I a nervous wreck grinning at my wife telling here:
"Everything's fine...."
Today's Monday and Linux is running all over the disk. In fact we both like it.
Internet's running, printer's printing, emails ok.
Here are my questions ?
Please, how can I get my external USB CD-Writer to run.
Does it make sense trying the WINE Emu with my kodak Camera-software ?
I really really don't want to go back to Bill's dirty tricks departement.
Thanks for your patience reading that.

Did you by any chance update your krb5 packages from RedHats website? If so, that's
most likely your problem. I had to uninstall the update, then reinstall the old

This is a known problem. You might like to take a look at the following URL:
http://au1.samba.org/samba/docs/samba-pdc-faq.html#AEN205
Effectively, it happens more often than not when previous attempts to joining
the domain have failed. Make sure that when you try and connect to the
machine that you use the "root" user ID on the SAMBA server as opposed to a
standard user.
You may want to take a look at:
http://au1.samba.org/samba/docs/samba-pdc-faq.html (Samba 2.2)
http://au1.samba.org/samba/docs/samba-pdc-howto.html (Samba 2.2)
I presume you are using Samba 2.2 because of its added Win2K support. If you
are not then you need to check out the URL:
http://bioserve.latrobe.edu.au/samba/ntdomfaq.html
I hope this points you in the right direction.
See ya

Where did you put LILO?
put it in the MBR, or make the win2k partition active again, and boot
through
the NT bootloader.
And to get rid of the 1024 cyl. problem:
boot from the bootfloppy you made, change the "linear" in /etc/lilo.conf to
"lba32"
run `/sbin/lilo -v` and reboot. The RH installer should have done this for
you, but
appearantly it failed at doing so.

Then you don't cross the 1024 th cylinder there.
