  Hi,
   anyone using one of those USB bluetooth dongles from nehru place? 
 I need a feedback on :
 1. their compatibility with linux, 
 2. performance and reliability.
 
 I need to use the dongle with a nokia 6600 and a sony ericsson Z600. 
 I am 
 specifically looking for a dongle with any of these following
 chipsets - 
 Broadcom, CSR, Transilica, RTX, AVM or Silicon Wave, which are tested
 under 
 linux. ( more from
 http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/devices.html)
 
 I am not really interested in an IR solution but if anyone has had a
 good 
 experience with that, please let me know. 
 

i don't know which USB bluetooth dongle u r talking about but i bought
one from nehru place and it is working fine with linux.

performance and reliability? i had not worked that much.

  I am running fedora core 1. 
 snip
  and now none of my system config tools are opening.
  
  when i click to open any tool it ask for root password and then
 nothing
  
  happens. please help. this make my situation terrible
  
  If you are using kde just log off go to the CLI and run rm .kde -rf
 this 
  generally corrects such problems
 
 arundeep: can you try running the config tools from command line?
 open a
 gnome-terminal (or konsole if yu use kde) and try starting the
 application from there
 
 e.g. in redhat 9
 # redhat-config-users

i tried this but it says :
 redhat-config-users requires a currently running X server.

 or maybe just from your prompt start open office
 e.g. in mandrake 9.2
 $ oowriter 
 
 and see what error it throws. that can help in better understanding
 of the problem. 

well some how in some mysterical way the error with openoffice get 
solved. it is working now.

 Possible solution maybe to run the JVM in privileged

Re: [ilugd] problem with environment variables

2004-02-23 Thread arundeep singh
Hello Arindam, 

thanx for the help. 
i installed J2SDK1.4.2 but not the rpm version.
well the problem got solved as what was happening is
that i was setting the CLASSPATH in one shell(1) and
compiling in other shell(2). but when i  compiled the
same java file by changing to the directory in
shell(1). then it worked without problem.

but still there is a question, as if above is the case
then it means when we setup a variable in one shell it
doesn't come in effect in global environment and
doesn't show any change in other shells.  but when u
close all the shells and reopen them then it works in
all the shells. why is that and what is the remedy.



Then you have to provide the output of
 something like this
 env | grep -i CLASSPATH. This should be executed
 as the user you are
 trying to compile the java program as.
 
 Which java are you using whether the sun jdk or
 something else?


 
 What did you download the rpm version or something
 else?
 
 Which distribution of Linux are you using?
 
 Finally you do have the setenv but since it is a
 csh shell built in
 command it will only be invoked after you have
 changed your shell to csh
 from bash. But that is a whole different ball game.
 At the moment your
 friend for exporting variables is export which is
 kind off the bash
 equivalent of setenv or try man bash and in that
 search for set and
 unset or you can try env.

 I think, if you define that variable name in .bashrc
 file located in your
 home directory then this should work.
 
 After saving the changes you might need to try
 'bash' command to reload the
 .bashrc contents or better if you login again.
 
 I am assuming here that you are using Bash as the
 shell.
 
 I hope this solves the problem.
