[Eug-lug]Touchpad
Hi, Someone gave me one of those natural keyboards with a touchpad for a mouse. I can get gpm to use the mouse correctly but I can't figure out how to make X use it. What is this supposed to say?

Re: [Eug-lug]Touchpad
One thing for sure, IMPS/2 probably won't work correctly. Why not backup your XF86Config and run through a manual config to see if touchpad or tablet is available as an option. --- Bob Crandell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What is this supposed to say?

Hi, I've been working on a remote Mandrake server. I don't have physical access to it 'cause it too far away. I have been trying to get rpmdrake to pull RPMs from a FTP source instead of from the CDs. Is someone using rpmdrake with FTP? What did you put in the properties?

[Eug-lug]VOTE! (for newbie track topics)
Yeah, general elections are coming up, and they're a lot more important than EUGLUG. But your vote will definitely count in the EUGLUG polls -- we have no smoke-filled back rooms, no gerrymandering, no multimillion dollar propaganda campaigns, and no paid signature collectors. (But I'm willing to explore bribery -- make your checks payable to... (-: ) Rob and Beaker put up a new poll on the EUGLUG web site, listing some newbie track presentation topics we're thinking about doing. Our plan is to do one newbie presentation each month through the winter and spring, but we need to know what topics are of greatest interest. If you're a newbie, or if you know a newbie, or if you were a newbie once, take a second and vote for the topics that would most interest your inner newbie. And if there is a topic you'd like to see, but it isn't listed, send some mail to me or to this list. The URL is... http://www.euglug.org/ Go there.

Re: [Eug-lug]Networking question from a novice
100baseTX: theoretical max speed (half duplex): 100Mb/sec / 8 = 12.5MB/sec My laptop ide harddrive (read): 16.45 MB/sec A single harddrive will be able to handle network traffic in most cases. For a server it should have some sort of raid subsystem with multiple drives which will allow it to exceed network traffic. You'll never see that theoretical maximum however, not with ethernet. An average file transfer over 100baseTX might be 3-4 MB/sec. However I've been able to get one of my linux servers to accept a sustained rate of about 10MB/sec. This was done by having samba on the linux server. Then I copied many GBs of data to it simultaneously from 5 windows nt and 2000 servers and clients. The console tool I used to monitor my traffic is iptraf. The command iptraf -g will show general statistics. It can be configured to show bits or bytes, dump traffic, and many other statistics and information. I recommend it for bandwidth monitoring.

You might consider using *only* one or the other, if you tend toward manic about network traffic; there are only a few options for doing NFS on windows, though... Samba does the SMB protocol better than M$ on the other hand! NFS is UDP, so you might want to find out if your network device (the SMC Barricade?) is a full-speed switch or has the limiting problems of older routers: you'll want full-speed 100baseTX, with full duplex to connect the machines that will be doing the major file-sharing, right folks? I'm not sure off the top of my head, but I think our hard drives are fast enough to use 100base... I've mostly done SCP (SSH's FTP) for moving files around even trusted networks... but it is certainly not as convenient as having a mount point (or drag-n-drop, although gui SCP clients are sweet too). Set up two major samba shares, where I've worked, they've been great and are on an IDE-RAID, striped. Very solid; the only problems I've had are on linux clients, which have shares mounted, when I restart the server or just the service; those client have hung badly at times. I think this problem is (or has been) fixed... haven't tested it in a while! cheers, Ben On Thu, 2002-10-24 at 20:42, Bob Crandell wrote: In that case, Samba would be the easiest to get your files from Windows.

The problem is that many real workloads require the disk to seek. If your laptop drive's average seek time is 8 milliseconds, then a seek takes as long as transferring 135 Kbytes of data. The worst case is when you seek before each read or write. Then you can only transfer 125 blocks per second. (I'm being intentionally vague about the size of a block.) In many cases, a disk is much slower than a 100 Mbit ethernet. The console tool I used to monitor my traffic is iptraf. Cool.

[Eug-lug]Too Hot (baby)?
I've got a hardware question: how hot is too hot WRT hard drives? The Fujitsu 4 GB UltraSCSI drive I just did an install on is a little loud and seems to run hot, though no errors were experienced during the install. I stuck an digital thermometer on it: 97.1 F. This was with the case open the drive sitting on top, so it wasn't getting the benefit of normal case cooling.

That doesn't sound too bad, but you might want to check the drive manufacturer's physical spec sheets to determine temperature range. A quick browse over http://hdd.fujitsu.com/global/drive/ suggests that they can generally tolerate up to 120F.
