Problem: Unable to connect to I.S.P. (LCP timeout sending config requests)
after kernel upgrade (2.2.13 to 2.4.0)
I'm running a SuSE 6.3 system with a 2.2.13 kernel, ppp 2.3.10, kppp
1.6.23, Netscape-6 (bloatware) and Helix-Gnome. Dialing my isp (USR 5686-03
56K serial on /dev/ttys1) everything is fine and happy and has been for
some time.
I installed a 2.4 kernel. Everything seems fine during boot; gdm starts no
problem, but ppp (still 2.3.10) dies when I try to dial the I.S.P. using
kppp. Following is the log:
-- pppd 2.3.10 started by root, uid0
-- using interface ppp0
-- connect ppp0 -- /dev/ttys1
-- sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 asyncmap 0x0magic 07049e221pcompaccomp
... 30 seconds goes by ...
-- LCP: timeout sending Config-requests.
I can shut down and restart using the 2.2.13 kernel (on the same system;
two boot images), and dial up/use the ISP just fine (is how I posted this
message).
I Searched/GOOGLE-ed the net, lots of hits on LCP timeouts, no luck why
this happens going 2.2.13 -- 2.4.0, *or*, how to fix things.
Question is: anyone seen this and know how to fix it? I'd sure appreciate
the help.
Many thanks,
Dave G.

Hi:
I have been trying to figure out why linux
tcp is failing to ack properly in some situations.
Does anyone know where I can post a message that
a linux network developer might read it?
(I tried linux.networking w/no answers there)
I've searched the source code and have been unable
to find where in the code the decision for whether
to ack or not ack is made, except in the case refered
to as the "fast" path. I traced this path and find
that it does not go thru here in the case where I
find the failure. The comments state that the fast path
does not handle all the cases properly, so the normal
path is used in some cases. I can't find where this
normal path is. I need to find where it decides to
send an ack with a window of 0 when the buffers are
all filled up (on receive).
I can easily force an error using 2 perl scripts.
I simply create a socket server in one script, a
client in another, start sending, suspend the receiver
and wait 4 minutes. The socket will get disconnected. It
should not do this, it should send an ack with a window
of 0, which it fails to do. Both the client and the
server can be on the same system to easily see the error.
If I run the client from a windows system, linux behaves
properly, sending acks/window 0, and when I unsuspend the
receiver, all re-starts up in a few seconds. When going
linux to linux, if I unsuspend, it can take up to 2 minutes
to get going again (provided I unsuspend in less than 4 minutes).
To any developer who might be listening - please help me
find and fix this problem.
Thanks
Eric

StarOffice is broken.
Andi Care to elaborate about the nature of the breakage?
In a nutshell: It uses internal symbols of glibc (not only __setfpucw
but also __libc_init) and the install program has a hardcode
dependency on the linuxthreads version (0.7).
Philip Blundell has tried to work around this and found no way to get
it working.:-(

Hi!
This wasn't the configure command you run, or ?
It should be configure --prefix=/usr --enable-add-ons=yes
ups.. was it vim, or did I missed that.
But I typed --enable-add-ons=crypt,linuxthreads,localedata
make
make check
all without errors. :)
But make install fails on the final perl-script, which should check the install..
And from now most apps fails with the same error and the system won't start anymore.
hmm, don't know the exact output at the moment, but it was like ...
_dl_global_scope has different sizes in hared libryries
_dl_default_scope -undefined symbol in shared libraries
It seems you have a mixed set of /lib/ld-linux.so.2 from glibc 2.0.x and
libc.so.6 from glibc 2.1 or ld-linux.so.2 from glibc 2.1 and libc.so.6
from 2.0.x.
Please double check if the ld-linux.so.2 link the libc.so.6 link
shows to the right version.
I checked it carefully once again, but all links are set ok.
All this errors begin with sh: or bash:... Is it a bash-bug? I dynamicly linked the
bash
against libc-2.0.7.so and libncurses.so.4.2...

I accidently did an mke2fs on the *wrong* partition. /dev/hdd (only
