Caching server setup options
I've just enabled the apache caching server for our home lan, and was wondering why things are only cached for seconds at a time, and only up to 5k (doesn't seem like it would help much).

Re: IRQ woes
cat /proc/interrupts Will give you irq's, but in most cases not everything in your system. I suggest you download the dos driver file for your nic and if your lucky (most have it), there will be a utility to change the irq, io, mem addresses for the card. Then just play around until you find a setting that works.

RE: Looking for programs...
I'm looking for a cupple of programs for redhat linux5.0 and i was hoping you could help me. The programs I'm looking for is: 1) a ftp program for down uploading. Something like cuteftp Filerunner works quite well. I use it to work on my web page. Available from sunsite I think. I use it mostly for uploading. Netscape does most of my downloads. 2) a music program. I have a small keyboard connected to my comp, but sice I dropped M$-Windoze I have not been able to use it I use Jazz to edit midi files, but it won't play them. I use the kde midi player to play the files after I edit them with jazz. Some of those keyboards are WS-WIN only unless it's a midi keyboard maybe... Not my area. 3) A program for making a homepage. I want to make a homepage and I would like a program which allows me to make one more or less visually. Depends on what you want to do. For basic WYSIWYG HTML editting, netscape communicator is quite adequate. 4) I'm starting school soon, so I have to get a good wordprocessor. can anyone tell me what the major differences is between: StarOffice, ApplixWare and WP Which one could you reccoment and why Staroffice is quite nice but it's a big download and takes a lot of resources and it's fairly slow.

Hi Well, initially I wanted to buy the Millennium II card, but someone posted to this list that he had experienced some problems with it, something about his screen loosing an inch for some reason, so I have been looking some more at some Diamond cards. Anyway, I would really appreciate it if some of the subscribers to this list who have any experience with eighter a Diamond or a Millennium II card could give me some feedback about their experience with it under Linux , both good and bad ( I'm using RH5.0 and running KDE ). Also, if someone have another card which they can recommend then pleace give me some feedback and tell me why you can reccommnd this particular card.

Missing libXm.so.1.2
Installing Netscape Communicator 4.04.rpm failed and I received an error from rpm that libXm.so.1.2 was missing. It isn't on my system: I searched under /usr/X11R6/lib and in all directories but isn't there. I searched on the web and although I can find some pale traces of it, I couldn't find a place to download it. Could somebody help pointing me to the right site ?

re: ICQ
I finally have the jdk-1.1.5 working on my machine. Does anyone know how to setuup the scripts of ICQ for java (like ICQ.bat, and ICQ.cmd, these by default are setup to windows 95 eviorment variables and paths). Thanks, Dan Hughes I picked up the jdk-1.1.5 rpm from ftp.redhat.com, installed it, picked up the ICQ preview for Linux from www.mirabilis.com, untarred the file and executed install.

Bug? - Priorities/disk access
(The following message was posted to
news://news.redhat.com/redhat.kernel.general on April 29 with
message ID [EMAIL PROTECTED] - but something seems
to be wrong with the news-server; the message is not there.)
I have a Linux box where the rc5des client is normally running
(see http://www.distributed.net/rc5/).
However, I have now discovered the following weird behaviour
which has made me kill the rc5des client. Unfortunately, I
think that my findings show a more general problem.
When the rc5des software is not running, the following procedure
takes around one minute:
time cat /dev/hda1 /dev/null
(CPU usage is around 30%)
When the rc5des software is running, the same procedure takes
15 minutes ('time' reports CPU usage as 0%)
hda1 is an IDE disk (PIO4) of around 360 MB. The rc5des client
has no relation to the partition whatsoever (the partition
is not mounted at all).
I'm running the rc5des client as a special user - and at the
lowest priority possible, I should think. I start the rc5des
software with the following line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
usr/local/sbin/desstart
desstart looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
su -c "cd /home/des; nice /home/des/rc5des /home/des/log-1
2/home/des/log-2" des
I have also tried this su line without any change in behaviour:
su -c "cd /home/des; nice /home/des/rc5des /home/des/log-1 21" des
(one line - again, my browser may have wrapped the line)
When I run top, I'm reassured that rc5des is running at low
priority and as the special "des" user:
USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT LIB %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
des 20 19 284 284 208 R N 0 98.0 0.9 0:12 rc5des
des0 0 736 736 540 S 0 0.0 2.3 0:00 su
des0 0 652 652 536 S 0 0.0 2.1 0:00 bash
des 19 19 284 284 208 S N 0 0.0 0.9 0:00 rc5des
des 19 19 284 284 208 S N 0 0.0 0.9 0:00 rc5des
As far as I know, the rc5des software should have extremely low
priority and should not be able to influence performance in any
way (except some memory usage).
However, the rc5des software seems to be able to slow down a
root-initiated process (the cat command) by 1500%!
When rc5des is running and I'm cat'ing from hda1,
/proc/cat's pric-ID/status presents like this in 19
out of 20 tries:
Name: cat
State: D (disk sleep)
[cut]
Once in a while, I'm able to get a
/proc/cat's pric-ID/status looking like this:
Name: cat
State: R (running)
[cut]
As soon as I kill rc5des, there seems to be a 1:1 relation
between cat's status being D/R.
The system is Intel-Redhat 5.0 with all the latest official
Redhat updates.
I have tried with Redhat's latest kernel sources. I have
tried with a clean 2.0.33. And I have tried with the
latest pre-release of 2.0.34 (11b).
I have also tried various configurations of the IDE
controller/harddisk (changing parameters in the hdparm
utility). Nothing is able to improve the situation.
A hdparm -i /dev/hda gives the following output:
/dev/hda:
Model=QUANTUM FIREBALL_TM3200A, FwRev=A6B.1T00, SerialNo=29562753
Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw15uSec Fixed DTR5Mbs TrkOff }
RawCHS=6232/16/63, TrkSize=32256, SectSize=512, ECCbytes=4
BuffType=3(DualPortCache), BuffSize=76kB, MaxMultSect=16,MultSect=16
DblWordIO=no, maxPIO=2(fast), DMA=yes, maxDMA=2(fast)
CurCHS=6232/16/63, CurSects=6281856, LBA=yes, LBAsects=6281856
tDMA={min:120,rec:120}, DMA modes: sword0 sword1 sword2 mword0 mword1
*mword2
IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:300,w/IORDY:120}, PIO modes: mode3 mode4
'hdparm -W1 /dev/hda' does not improve the situation.
More system info about the computer is at
http://www.studmed.ku.dk:8000/
I do not suspect any hardware defects.
I consider the phenomenon as a potential denial-of-service
problem: I think that a normal user should not be able to
bring down the performance of basic disk access to this
dramatic degree - even running the program 'nicely'.
(On an other Linux computer, 'cat /dev/disk-unit /dev/null'
has a constant throughput of 6MB/s, no matter if I'm running
rc5des or not. This is an Intel system using SCSI.)
Any ideas/comments?
Could this be a kernel bug? A glibc bug? Some other bug?
Is there something utterly wrong with time-slicing to the
IDE-controller?
Could there be a connection between my observations? - The IDE
throughput/priority/time-slicing problem and the
non-responsive apache?

UNix and NT servers, article

IS employees in many corporations have secretly installed Unix servers that provide native NT services. Why take such a risk? Linux and FreeBSD are free, as is SAMBA, the software that provides NT services. So the IS department saves money. And managers are unlikely to find out Unix is behind the scenes because fewer people will complain about server downtime.

RE: c/c++ under linux
If there's a command to perform your function on the command line then there is most surely a command to do it in gcc's C/C++ .. at the worst case you could just do a system call withing the program... however inneficient that might be. Also, if you go looking through the man pages `man -K clear -S 3c` that'll look through the 3c section for the "clear" string .. give that a shot. I hope this helps out at least a bit.

I tried basically every video driver on the list when I was configuring. It can work with "Generic VGA'" but with no modes. I can only get 256 colors and the screen resolution stinks. Right now my best consolation is that at least I can use Linux and that over time there will probably be support. The card rocks under Windows 95 and NT4.

Strange. However, 'nice' by itself doesn't guarantee that the nice'd
process will always run at the lowest priority -- it only guarantees
that the process will run at a relatively lower priority than other
processes on the system.
If you want to specifically tell the system to run your process only
when not doing anything else, then use 'nice -19' rather than 'nice'.
You can change the priority of the process by 'renice PID'; I suggest
you renice it to -19 and then rerun your tests.

Re: Strange SCSI problem
Mike A. Lewis, CNE wrote: New RH5.0 install. AST Manhattan with Adaptec 2940UW controller (same controller working with RH5.0 in another machine). Earlier today, installed RH5.0 via FTP. Absolutely no problems during install. After finishing installation, when rebooting, I get the following: Scsi: 0 hosts Scsi: detected total Partition check So far so good, this is right for an initrd based boot setup. Ramdisk: Compressed image found at block 0 Crc errorVFS: Cannot open root device 08:01 ^ This is the problem. It's getting a crc error reading the initrd file from the boot directory. The file is responsible for loading the aic7xxx driver so that you can read/write to your scsi disk once the system is booted up. Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:01 Just what would be expected if you can't load that aic7xxx driver and it needs to access a root partition on that scsi controller. The answer you ask? Boot up the install disks in rescue mode, load the aic7xxx driver, mount the root partition of the hard disk, go into the root-mnt/boot directory and remake the initrd file (something like mkinitrd should work, or just gunzip the initrd file and see if you can find the problem). After you've remade the initrd file, re-run lilo to re-init the boot setup on the hard drive. Things should work fine after that. NOTE: I'm not sure the exact options to make the mkinitrd package rebuild from a specific mount point, which is what you need, but to make lilo re-init the hard disk, do the following. Assuming you mount your root partition on the /mnt directory, the lilo command to use would be "lilo -r /mnt" and it would do the right thing. You may have to use /mnt/sbin/lilo if lilo isn't in the current search patch. Additionally, the initrd file may not be corrupted, lilo may just have a bad map of the file. If that's the case, the lilo command should be enough to fix the problem without having to remake the initrd file. You can find out if this is the case by going into the /mnt/boot directory and issuing the following commands: mv initrd initrd.gz gunzip initrd.gz ^ If this commands succeeds, then you shouldn't need to remake the initrd file, at this point you would just put it back like it was by issuing the next two commands gzip initrd mv initrd.gz initrd Then issue the following command before re-running lilo to make sure all of the disk blocks are allocated and properly written: sync Then re-run the lilo command as I mentioned above. If the gunzip command does fail, then you need to remake the initrd file and I'm sure someone here is up on the mkinitrd command more that I am. -- Doug Ledford [EMAIL PROTECTED] Opinions expressed are my own, but they should be everybody's. -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
Problems with a SCSI drive
I picked up a new Seagate Hawk 4.3 gig SCA drive ST-15230WC recently, with an adapter to attach it to either a 68 pin wide or 50 pin narrow SCSI bus. This adaptor is not terminated. I have an Asus SC-875 ultra-wide SCSI HBA, based on the Symbios/NCR 875 chip. Attached to this bus is an IBM wide HD (terminated) on the wide side of the bus. On the narrow side, I have 2 Quantum drives, a Panasonic CD drive and a Connor tape drive (terminated). This SCSI bus is linear. I also have a Symbios/NCR 810 based card (terminated) to which I have only a terminated Umax scanner attached. When the Seagate is not installed, this system works perfectly. However, I cannot get the Seagate drive to play nicely. When I attach it, whether to the wide side or the narrow side of the 875 HBA, it causes no end of problems: it won't hold a partition or file system, error messages come from the OS that the drive isn't functioning, at times an OS won't boot if the Seagate is attached to the SCSI bus. At all times, my system is seriously slowed down, with the HD access LED almost constantly lit. There is no SCSI ID conflict and the SCSI BIOS sees the drive correctly (i.e. it identifies the drive at the correct SCSI ID). The drive does not work in DOS, OS/2 or Linux. Yesterday, I disconnect all other hard drives, just had the Seagate attached. I tried to install Red Hat 5.0 from CD on to it, but gave up after 3 hours of writing an ext2fs to the drive (2 gig partition, set by RH fdisk). I've checked the Seagate web site for documentation on this drive; it's configured with the default options and I can see no reason (from the docs) why the default configuration shouldn't work. I'm really hoping that one of you is a SCSI wizard, a scholar, a gentleman and a judge of fine whiskey and can help me figure out what's going on. If it matters, the rest of my system is a Asus Triton FX motherboard, 6x86 P-150+ CPU, 64 MB EDO RAM, Matrox Millenium 4 MB video, Gravis UltraSound PnP Pro (which I can't get working in Linux).

lpr plain text files
Hi, I am using a HP Laserjet 4L. If I try to print plain text files using "lpr plain.txt" the printer only outputs an empty page (There are *no* special characters/control sequences in the file). Printing postscript files, dvi files or man pages (man pages seem to include special characters) works fine. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this problem?

usermount sigsegv error
Hello, I've just installed RH 5 on my pc and, as they are in the updates, i've upgraded to glibc-2.0.7-6 and gtk-0.99.970925-2, and i get problems with the usermount utility from the usermode package: i've added the option "user" to the cdrom and floppy entries in my fstab... so when i login as a normal user all is ok and usermount works fine BUT when i log as root and by prompt i launch usermount i get the following: ** ERROR **: sigsegv caught . So i've deinstalled it, ftpiped the source and recompiled... to no avail: every time i run it as root it fails, as a normal users it works! I'm wondering of a bug or so because if i've misconfigured the fstab file then the program would try to notify me of the error, i think... :-) (but i'm sure of my /etc/fstab!). Note also that after fresh installation (without updates) usermount worked when run by root... . Is there anyone that has my same problem? I've to post it to bugs???@redhat.com or can i do something prior to that? Many thanks in advance. ciao fede Semper Voster [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel. +39/2/89.12.65.76 Home Tel. +39/2/89.51.43.52 Parents Via W.

SCSI Tape troubles
Hi all, I have recently acquired a SCSI card and a SCSI DAT tape drive and am having trouble getting them to play together. I am running a RedHat 4.2 system with the 2.0.32 kernel upgrade. The SCSI card is a BusLogic BT958. The tape drive is a Seagate STD64000N 2/4GB external DAT drive. I have compiled support for general SCSI and for the BusLogic card into the kernel. Both the card and the tape drive are recognized at boot up. The problem initially showed up as a failure to write data to tape. If I try to tar to the drive using the command 'tar cvf /dev/st0' I get a listing of files being 'written' to the tape followed by a 5-10 min. pause followed by messages indicating that the write commands have timed out and that the SCSI device is being reset. For what it's worth it appears that the system is actually managing to talk to the drive since the drive whirs and clicks when the command is executed. Some further research found that during boot I am getting the message "kernel: Unable to get major 9 for SCSI tapes." Some hunting around in the Kernel sources revealed that this message is coming out of the module drivers/scsi/st.c when the "register_chrdev" function fails. The function "register_chrdev" is defined in fs/devices.c and only fails if either the major device number is greater than 128, clearly not the problem in this case, or if the major number is already allocated. I can find no indication that major device 9 is being used by any other device. I would be grateful for any help with this.

Re: Bug? - Priorities/disk access
At 17:38 03-05-98 -0400, William T Wilson wrote: Just out of curiosity... why are you doing this at all? :) The thing came up in a Usenet group. I wanted a quick (and dirty?) way to illustrate that SCSI utilizes the CPU much less than IDE - thus making the system more responsive. My result was too overwhelming to be true! ;-) Are any other partitions on this disk mounted at the same time? Yes. The root file system. What about other drives on the same IDE controller? Nope - except the floppy, but I guess that the floppy isn't 'really' on the IDE interface. Anyways, there has been no floppy activity on the box since Redhat 5.0 came out. Have you tried this with the rc5 client's output redirected to /dev/null? Yep. No difference. Do you notice any unusual disk activity while the cat is trying to run? I didn't check for that, actually. I'll do that; if I find something surprising, I'll report back (I doubt it). So the question is not, what is the rc5 client doing, but the question really becomes, what is the disk doing? Bulls eye. Or: what's happening with the damn IDE interface/IDE-driver? Does the rc5 client affect normal file access in any particular way, or only this use of the raw device file? Not that I know of. (I haven't done any realistic benchmarks, though.) But it _really_ annoys me, because I think that it's a 'genuine' (wow!) bug somewhere. It's worse if you have a middle-aged motherboard circa 1994 or 1995, as most of these had buggy IDE controllers. I'd not say so. Specs at http://www.studmed.ku.dk:8000/ Could there be a connection between my observations? - The IDE throughput/priority/time-slicing problem and the non-responsive apache? Possibly. Looking over your message I didn't see any references to bad apache response. :) So I don't know. Sorry; that should have been cut out, before I copied the messeage from my newsreader's outbox. My observations with Apache are probably due to something unrelated. Forget that I mentioned it.
