Re: Incoming PPP question - subnetting
Kevin Traas wrote: Thanks for the reply (and the info), Jens. Here's what I'm trying to do: I've got one assigned Class C - 206.182.236.0 - which I've split using a netmask of 255.255.255.224. I'm using one subnet of 206.182.236.32 for my local LAN. My Debian Linux box is IP .33 and acts as a DialdD server to ISP as well as modem server for two lines (these incoming PPP connects are in the same subnet - .32) I have another subnet for another LAN in another building (.64). This LAN has an NT server that I'm using to dial into the Linux box and provide routing to/from this subnet. Problem is that this NT box sets up a netmask of 255.255.255.0 for the .32 subnet that it has connected to via PPP. From this point on, all IP traffic on the local subnet gets routed out the PPP connection. (Pretty bad scene - we've got 100Base-TX going into 33.6Kbps...) Other than manually configuring the routing tables on the NT box, I'd like to configure things automatically - thus my message about setting netmasks Hmmm. What's the netmask on the ethernet interface? If it's set to 255.255.255.224 then everything should work fine even though the NT box sets 255.255.255.224 on the PPP link. This is because the routing algorithm chooses the route with the most matching bits (that is, the one with the longest netmask). Let me know. -- Jens B.

Re: SB AWE 64 versus Soft. Syns. for making midi... Also, m
I figure that maybe I can spend the money on a midi-compatable keyboard instead. Anyone with exp. on using one of those under Linux? I saw a keyboard for about $170 at Electronic Boutique, which was basically one devoted to Midi, without any samples built in. That seems to be the cheapest I can find which lets you connect it to a computer? If you want to be really cool, buy a keyboard with weighted keys (feeling like a piano). Takes about $1000 :(. Seek a Keyboard with big keys (not the baby ones), and with touch sensitive keys. A pedal is nice, as are modulation and pitch bend function. You don't need any samples or demo songs (burb), but a midi connection. Good keyboards have midi anyway. When I talked to my local dealer (which apparently is the only way Roland sells things?) they said $1500 for weighted key model. Of course it had tons of sounds and other functions (many of which I wouldn't really know how to do in software). Can you even get weighted keys without all this extra stuff? What model was it you saw that went for only $1000? It seems the like to reserve this feature for their expensive models, which I think at this point is a remarkably bad strategy. Mayby it's time for a new manufacturer to enter the scene. The Roland PC-200 mkII is a pretty good MIDI keyboard for use with computers. It has bend/modulate, velocity sensitive keys, a connection for a pedal, and some other functions. The bad thing is it's keys are compact and not weighted. If you arn't a pianist, spending ~$800 more for full size weighted keys might not be worth it. Yeah, this I agree with this. Big and weighted keys are nice, but I don't think it is nescessary for most people. Actually, if you are used to typing a lot, non-weighted has a somewhat similar feel to a computer keyboard, IMHO. BTW, the $170 keyboard had bend/modulate, pitch controls, and some other things on it. Not sure about a pedal port. I think it even had some things like reverb control on it. And if you get a Software Synthesizer which has a driver that directs midi calls to it, (For win95 anyways. Not sure exactly how it works with Linux), then you should be able to do things like play the keyboard in realtime, and play tracks in a sequencer. That is with a keyboard with no sound of its own, and a non-wavetable soundcard.

If I su to root and copy ~myself/.Xauthority to ~root I can run xeyes with

On the same host, an X connection will a unix domain socket. (A
sort of special device.) When X is started it creates this (a file
is created, as with most unix devices) in /tmp/.X11-unix. When you
specify :0 it uses the local connection while when you type
foo:0 it uses a regular IP connection. Each interface requires
its own access entry. Note that the X man-page says about the hostname
part of the display spec:
hostname
The hostname specifies the name of the machine to
which the display is physically connected. If the
hostname is not given, the most efficient way of
communicating to a server on the same machine will
be used.
Unix domain sockets are more efficient, but can only be used when
you are on the same machine.
Now I telnet to bar and login as myself, ftp back to foo and copy
.Xauthority to bar. On bar, xauth list and xauth list foo/unix:0 both say
foo/unix:0 MIT...1 a0b1... but the other forms say nothing.
What's the timestamp on ~/.Xauthority? I didn't know that startx
created auth files. Authorization in the server is controled by
passing the -auth file param to the X server.
Now I type xeyes -d :0 etc. and :0, unix:0 and foo/unix:0 are all
obviously trying to display locally on bar, as the error is 111.
xeyes -d foo:0 is refused by the server on foo (an audit message appears
on the VC which started X).
Yup, 'cause you don't have a foo:0 entry in your xauth file.
I presume I have to massage .Xauthority in some way, to create entries
for :0, unix:0 and foo:0, but why does .Xauthority have foo/unix:0 put
into it by startx? I don't really understand what the syntax foo/unix
means and can't find any documentation for it (though I've seen it in
examples, e.g. page 82 of Mui and Pearce).
The '/unix' mean unix domain transport. As I said, it doesn't do you
any good unless you're on the local machine.
Make sure that your X server is using the authorization scheme you
think it is. If no '-auth file' is passed to the X server then it
will default to host-based authorization. If you want to know for
sure the run X, find the PID of the server and then
'cat /proc/PID/cmdline' and check for the '-auth' param. If it isn't
there, you're using host-based auth. If that's the case, you can
generate the entries yourself. You'll need to create a .xserverrc in
your home dir. Here's something that might work:
#!/bin/bash
gencookie () { perl -e
open(RAND,/dev/random);sysread(RAND,$sysdata,16);print(unpack(H32,$sysdata));';
}
export XAUTHORITY=~/.Xauthority

xterm and utmp
Some time in the past few months, xterm has forgotten how to write to the utmp file again. When I first started using Debian (0.93R6) this was broken, then it got fixed, now it's broken again. There seems to be an ever-active shell game when it comes to the format of the utmp file. To observe this, start a bunch of xterms and then do a w.

Re: elf-x11r6lib ?
Hi All,
Trying to install the xforms package I get the following error message:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of xforms0.86:
xforms0.86 depends on elf-x11r6lib; however:
Package elf-x11r6lib is not installed.
Where is Package elf-x11r6lib?
That package doesn't exist. It used to be a virtual package,
but not any more. Xforms should depend on xlib6. I assume
you've got that package installed, so you can safely
use dpkg --force-depends -i xforms0.86_*_*

Re: Incoming PPP question - subnetting
Hmmm. What's the netmask on the ethernet interface? If it's set to 255.255.255.224 then everything should work fine even though Yes, it is. the NT box sets 255.255.255.0 on the PPP link. This is because the routing algorithm chooses the route with the most matching bits (that is, the one with the longest netmask). Let me know. Interesting thought. I'll give this a try. I've got things working right now by setting up the PPP connection and then manually setting routes on each end. However, if I can automate this, that would be great. With your msg above, I may not have to make any changes on the NT dialin box/router. I'll let you know. On this subject, though Right now, the NT box dials into the modem pool via PPP. Is there any way I can have the Linux box (PPP server) setup a static route to the NT subnet at the time the NT box dials in? (I could set up a script running in the background with a sleep 60 or so that looks to see who's logged in and configures the routing table based on that, but this would be quite a hack - there's got to be a better way) Thanks for your help, Jens.

If that is the right function the replacement should be obvious using

Re: howto enlarge root partition by merging with other?
Hi Dieter, There is another - more elegant - way: since kernel 2.0.x you can combine two or more partitions to one big partition. I've stumbled over this feature while compiling a new kernel and selecting some compile options. Read the help of the appropriate kernel options and follow the links. Sorry, I can't be more specific, because my linux box is at home and I'm writing this from my office win95 computer (shuer!!!). I haven't tried it by myself, so that's everything I can do for you. I just checked into this. It seems that it only makes sense when those partitions are on different drives, because it's still necessary to reformat, i.e. make a new filesystem on the combined partition. So, I might just as well create a new, bigger partition. Oh, and when there are different partitions inbetween those to merge, then it's probably useful, too. Anyway, thanks again for the pointer.

Motif programming blues
Can anyone tell me why the following code (in attachments) doesn't work,
or point to me someplace that describes in DETAIL the XmLabelWidget class?
The lesstif docs describe functions fine, but precious little in the
way of the widgets and gadgets.
Problem: you give memo no arguments, you get a blank box. Give it
arguments, the label text is msg, not the arguments you gave it.
I typed this verbatim (minus some syntactical differences, like ANSI-style
function headers instead of KR, and moved a variable declaration to the
top of the function instead of in the middle) from Douglas A. Young's The
X Window System Programming and Applications with Xt: OSF/Motif Edition.
I figure this qualifies as fair use since the damn code doesn't work.
gcc -o memo.c concat.c -L/usr/X11R6/lib/ -lXm -lXt -lX11

Hi,all

How about telling us the error messages? It worked for me, anyway.

Just install the packages. If they don't install, tell us what
your error messages are.
