Turns out that the permissions on all of /tmp were somehow messed up.  I
don't know how this is possible, when I tarred up the entire / filesystem
(which included eveything but /boot).  So X is working now, although
something is still screwy with fonts, cause i can't open an xterm.  Seems
that it can't find a font that it needs.  ugh.

'tarred' to copy a system? Yikes. I know GNU tar is better at this than
older tars, but I would have used cpio, which handles device and
special files (like pipes) better. Just personal (and probably
superstitious) behavior.

The way I interpreted was the 30,000 licenses are indeed for 
UnixWare/SVR5. I'd guess that he's including licensing agreements for 
older code as well, perhaps going back to licenses given to universities.

I feel this as well. Still, I was surprised to get the letter in the e-mail
from them.

The 'funny' thing is that, even though I have been a partner and developer
and all for a number of years (SCO pre Caldera and later Caldera), I seldom,
if ever, get e-mail related to these things. But this one I got.

You may be right.  I just did 'tar cvf f00.tar /' and ended up with a
2.6GB tarball, which seemed about right.  At this point the only damage
appears to be the /tmp permissions weirdness, and the current 'missing'
fonts.The laptop is at home, so i'll do some more digging tonight.

They came out with that product in the days of 8.1 I think and it was 
introduced after 8.1 became available.

I believe what it is is the current product (8.2) with some added commercial 
products (maybe StarOffice instead of OO) plus others and a desktop set up 
for an 'enterprise user'.  The idea being that it is a product that a company 
could install and make it their desktop, with all the necessities of that 
environment.

Multi-line regular expression matching

2003-06-03 Thread listmail
I'm attempting to write a script that will delete a certain portion of a
data file.  What I want to do is delete everything between (and including)
two lines, line A and line B

The file:
...
#lineA
...
#lineB
...

To an extent I don't really care what tool is used, but I've been unable
to  accomplish the task with either Perl or SED so I'm wondering if there
might be something wrong with the regular expressions that I've tried.

A couple of the reg-exp's that I've tried:
's/#lineA.*#lineB//gs'
's/#lineA(.|\n)*#lineB//gs'

Both of the above seem to work fine if #lineA and #lineB are on the same
line in the file (I've yet to add in anything to check if #lineA and
#lineB occur at the start of the line, but that'll be added in later). 
Shouldn't the /s modifier allow multi-line matching to take place?

No. But I have been having success with FrameMaker under Wine. Fonts seem
much better. I have not put it through rigorous testing as I haven't had
the time yet. But I will.

I know that codeweavers claim to support Word now. And their improvements do
get back into the wine release.

So, maybe WP will also work much better.





I picked up a copy of WPO 2000 from http://www.softwareandstuff.com/s_tech_net_linuxwp9.html
for $24 delivered. This version is apparently a later release.
I have installed it on Libranet 2.7 and .2.8, and eDesk 2.4.
Installation on Caldera WS 3.1.1 is not so happy. There
is an error report on starting WP9 than you can click through, and writing
tools are disabled. Installation is better on SuSE 8.0 if libaps
is installed first, as advised in the release notes. It does not
run at all on SuSE 8.2.
It works quite well. The WPO2KL version I got is the deluxe package
and includes Paradox 9. It and Quattro Pro are stable, probably thanks
to that tight Borland API.
There is a bug that causes WP9 to crash if I open a second document,
but this can be handled by opening (from the file manager) and closing
each document in turn. The documents are then listed at the bottom
of the file menu, and can be opened simultaneously thereafter for
cut-and-paste work. The M$ Word filter is very good. I opened
a large .doc file with an embedded Excel table without a hitch, even
though this file was inaccessible to Applix Word and WP 8.1/Linux, even
with the Filtrix patch.
The package comes with a large library of TT fonts, which must be installed
one by one. Comparing notes with an owner of the original release,
the one I got, which apparently was intended for the UK market, has later
file dates than the original release.
Said other owner reports that the Fontastic font manager is crippled
after installing CrossOver Office. It also includes a small
3 " plush Tux toy, vice the inflatable penguin that came with the original.
CrossOver Office informed me that support for WPxx/win is still on the
drawing board, but I get the impression it is not a priority.

Here's a little 3-line awk script that should work.


# set flag when we find the beginning
/lineA/ { found = 1 }

# print only when we haven't found the beginning
{ if (! found) print($0) }

# clear flag when we find the end
/lineB/ { found = 0 }


Here's another example, this time using vim.
command:
  vi -s script-file data-file

script-file contains:
  /lineA
  d/lineB
  dd
  :x data-file.new

Not exactly, what you are thinking about is the kernel ability to use 3G or

successfully used 1G on the standard ML9.1 distro. Mobo depent. You may have

Hey, look better:

The 11mb comes from the system memory, so it robs the system of RAM. You

bascially this means that you have no actualy video card, but your chipset
contains graphics into the motherboard. The intel integrated

card that is in the PCI format is the ATI Radeon 32mb SDR. The problem is,
ATI may have discontinued this card, so it may be hard to find..

 Not exactly, what you are thinking about is the kernel ability to use
 3G or more. Which is an option that can be set when compiling the
 kernel. I have successfully used 1G on the standard ML9.1 distro. Mobo
 depent. You may have to append the memory size in grub or lilo.
 

OK, let´s clear the air about this now.

The standard kernel will allow you to use up to 1Gb of memory.
If you have 1Gb-4Gb, you need to select the 4Gb memory model when
building your kernel.
If you have 4Gb or more, you need the 64Gb (max RAM supported on ia32)
option.  The numbers are max memory, not minimum.

I know this because I´ve seen it on systems w/ 3Gb and 8Gb of memory. 
It´s all in the Documentation (/usr/src/linux/Documentation/...).

You also need to verify that
1. Your system BIOS is actually enabling your total amount of memory.
2. Your motherboard supports that amount.
3. You don't have any bad memory that's being disabled. That means both
system memory and video memory.
Also what's the output of dmesg,  cat /proc/meminfo?

My point was that some video cards (that is built ins) do use system ram. 
Anyway have you tried appending mem= to lilo or grub?

Ick. One of the first things I change is /etc/sysconfig/i18n and remove
everything except en_US. The UTF fonts cause problems when displaying
man pages, I don't know if it will help your problem though.

 's/#lineA(.|\n)*#lineB//gs'
 
 Both of the above seem to work fine if #lineA and #lineB are on the same

 Shouldn't the /s modifier allow multi-line matching to take place?
