[SLUG] Partitioning Linux and NT on Same Physical Disk

2002-04-02 Thread Jerome McTeigue



Hi 
All,
 
According to some 
Linux docs, when partitioning NTFS and Linux on the same disk, it's better to 
put on NT first.  Have done so.
 
Now I'm coming to 
install Linux, cfdisk reports correctly on the 6.5GB NTFS partition, but 
incorrectly on the 1.5 free space left on the disk - the disk is actually a 15GB 
disk.  The strange thing is that the BIOS knows it's 15GB and Windows 2000 
knows it's 15 GB.  Any ideas?
 
I am using Debian 
2.1.
 
Thanks for your time 
to consider.
Cheers,
 
 
Jerome.

Thanks, Rick. I found out that they use LivePublish from Nextpage for
preparing their site. No doubt it's full of MS garbage.

FWIW, the backslash is not valid in a URL. My guess: Netscape converts
errant backslashes to forward slashes in such URLs, whereas Moz and
Galeon do not.

I'm not sure about using GRUB, but what I did when I tried to use debian was 
to tell debian to install LILO to the boot record of it's own partition ie: 
hda3; then duplicate the entry in redhat's lilo.conf for for windows and 
change the label to deb and the other=/dev/hda1 to hda3 as below


other=/dev/hda1
optional
label=Win98

other=/dev/hda3
optional
label=Debian

Hope this is of some value to you

[SLUG] Dual Booting Windows 98SE/ Debian Potato/ Rehat Linux 7.2 using Grub

2002-04-02 Thread kate



I have the following OSes installed.  

 
/dev/hda1 win98SE
/dev/hda3 Debian Potato 2.2r2
dev/hda5  Redhat linux 7.2
 
Grub happily dual boots Win and Redhat, but leaves 
Debain out in the cold.  I found (and subsequently lost) an excellent 
article on editing LILO for booting debian, suse, windose and 
redhat.
 
Could anyone please point me in the right direction 
as far finding and editing GRUB goes.  Additional info, 28.8GB hdd, hda5 
falls outside the first eight gig, hence my using GRUB.  Debian has ben 
installed without a swap partition (I have 780MB ram) Redhat uses a 2 GB SCSI 
disk for swap.  
 
Yes I am a newbie, Yes I tried to keep this short, 
Yes, I probably have left out something you needed to know.  Any help would 
be GREAT!

Hi all,

I am looking at a site (www.lbc.com.au) that loads properly with
Netscape. Trying to use Mozilla loads the site, but clicking on almost
anything gives the message "www.lbc.com.au\digest\d_dailydigest.asp
not found". Galeon (of course) does the same thing.

It seems to be choking on the ".asp" directions somehow.

Can anybody tell me what is causing this? Like I say, it works
perfectly with Netscape.

Re: [SLUG] Why is my IPSec tunnel not being routed

2002-04-02 Thread Howard Lowndes

It would appear to be associated with the way Flow Comms set up their ADSL
routing for clients.  It seems most peculiar to my mind.  Apparently you
need two IP addresses to the ADSL interface, one private
(from 172.16.0.0/12), and the other public.

>From what I can see I think the routing is getting a
"SIOCADDRT Network is unreachable" error as a result of their peculiar
routing policies.

I am going to have to hack the IPSec _updown script to do some logging and
find out what gives.

[SLUG] xdm and logging out for newbies

2002-04-02 Thread Mike Lake

Hi all,

Well Debian is dist-upgraded after removing gnome to save space and I
have just been trying to put back on the *same* X display manager that I had
last time - prob is that I can't seem to find it. I thought it was 
gdm and installed that but its not the same. The one I was using before
had a menu at the top for session, language and most importantly a shutdown
option that rebooted the machine. This was used by the other user of my
machine when she wanted to reboot to windows. gdm does not have that.
I have put xdm on and thought "oh I can tell her to use Ctrl-Alt-Del" (CAL) to
reboot. But that only works if you dont login via xdm. xdm traps CAL.
Does anyone know what the display manager is that has that shutdown menu
on it. I was sure it was gnome but gdm aint it.

[SLUG] Login Problems - Redhat 7.2 [Longish]

2002-04-02 Thread Tiwari, Rajnish

Hi All,

Having been a slackware user since my first linux distribution,
over the weekend I took the plunge and installed RH 7.2.

Probably due to the peculiarities of my cheap hardware & setup, 
I got it to install on the 3rd attempt - in text mode. Nevertheless,
even the custom installation was quite easy. I am impressed.

I haven't yet installed X. Will do that only after I login. And
that is where my problem lies. I cannot seem to login - neither
as root nor as a normal user.

At the login: prompt on the console, when I type in root, I get
another login: prompt back !! No prompt for password nor a 
error message (nor a successful login). 

Yes, there is a root user account, and a password. (Checked it
by booting of CDROM, chosing 'linux rescue' at the prompt and
checking the installation under /mnt/sysimage/...).

I suspect it is to do with shadow passwords. Can I easily disable
it - by modifying some rc file or the likes ? 

Any suggestions and recommendations on how I can login successfully
will be greatly appreciated. And thanks in advance.

Regards,
Rajnish

PS: I don't think I am in a good position to judge an entire
distribution
or OS based on installation (what a number of glossy win mags do) -
but Redhat install has had a profound effect on me - in more than
one way. So the next time I pick up some mainstream mag that has a
shallow linux coverage, I might actually care to read their verdict
on the installation process.

On Tue, 2002-04-02 at 17:55, S Lee wrote:
> Can someone recommend a good book (or good sources for online and

The book I started with was the O'Reilly one called "Running Linux". 
You pay a premium for them but they're worth their weight in gold.  I'm
sure the guys at www.everythinglinux.com.au could help you out ;-)

It covers everything from installation (web sources are better for this
though as a book can't cover every permutation of hardware etc) and
basic configuration to setting up X and some of the more common apps
that most people use.

The only downside is that the coverage of KDE and Gnome is dated (I have
the 3rd edition) so the web is your best bet for them too.

I found having a book a good stating place as there's so much to take in
if you're used to Windoze like I was.  You can then use the web for more
specific information.

Another good source is the HOW-TOs that people have written.  They are
usualy included in a distribution but on the web you can find them at
www.linuxdoc.org.

Other useful sites are:

Linux Newbie:
www.linuxnewbie.org
The Jargon lexicon:
http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/The-Jargon-Lexicon.html
The Linux Cookbook: Tips and Techniques for Everyday Use
http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/cookbook/
O'Reilly Open Books Project
http://http://www.linuxprinting.org
LinuxPrinting.org
http://www.linuxprinting.org/

If you really want a kickstart, head along to the SLUG Workshop where
experienced users will be helping people install linux and get you
started.  It's scheduled for Saturday, 20th of May (2002!) from 10am to
6pm.  I couldn't find where it was going to be - try the slug site or
wait for an announcement.

I hope this helps you get started.

Remember, ther's a lot of work to do but it's worth it in the end :-)

An AGP slot, of course.

Your motherboard either has one, or it doesn't. If it doesn't, tough

The two book I would recommend are:

1) A Dummies Guide to Red Hat (if you want to run Red Hat) about $40 with CD

Or Dummies for Debian / Slackware / Corel etc

2) Running GNU/Linux published by OReily

For online stuff

1) www.linuxnewbie.org

2) http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/

If you register there are about 100 different courses from newbie to guru 
level.

All without charge.

"Use the source Luke."

[View -> Page Source] inside your browser and look around for a
 tag that has a URL within to a file with a .mov
extension. Just stick that into download agent (eg. wget) and you'll
have it downloaded.

Thanks Luke,

That's neat. I later found that if you put the pattern into a named
buffer, you can paste it into the command line using

which produces a greyed-out ", after which you can put the buffer name.

Also neat.

I found this in vim-tips.

Tim, perhaps you should try out the things you've found referenced
before asking about what software to use?  You could also try
www.freshmeat.net with the words "offline browsing".  I know wget can
do this function but I imagine there could be better solutions.

[SLUG] Troubles with LDAP and NSS

2002-04-02 Thread Robert Reid

Hi everyone,

After the recent discussions about LDAP, I thought I would give setting 
up openldap a go over the weekend.  I managed to install it and get it 
set up, and I can now log in from a debian client using the 
account/password stored in the ldap server.  I installed the libnss-ldap 
deb package on the client and setup ldap for the passwd, group and 
shadow settings in /etc/nsswitch.conf. For the moment I'm not using nscd.

However, its now when I've run into trouble.  I have an ldap user, rob2, 
uid 1502 in the ldap server, and a directory owned by them in the file 
system.  As root I can do the following:

phobos:/mnt# ls -ld /home/rob2
drwxr-xr-x   11 rob2 1502  512 Jul  4  2001 /home/rob2
phobos:/mnt#

 (don't worry about the gid, I haven't set up an ldap group yet).  This 
information is coming from the ldap server, and I can see the connection 
in the ldap server log.

But when I try it as a local, non-privileged user (local = exists in 
/etc/passwd), it doesn't resolve:
rob@phobos:~$ ls -ld /home/rob2
drwxr-xr-x   11 1502 1502  512 Jul  4  2001 /home/rob2
rob@phobos:~$

And, I can log in as my rob2 user, using the password stored in the ldap 
server, but names dont' resolve either:
I have no name!@phobos:~$ ls -ld /home/rob2
drwxr-xr-x   11 1502 1502  512 Jul  4  2001 /home/rob2
I have no name!@phobos:~$

In the last two cases, the ls -l does not even try and connect to the 
ldap server (according to the server logs).

I'm not using SSL/TLS yet, and the ACLs are wide open at the moment.

Has anyone seen this sort of behaviour before, or can give me any ideas 
as to what's wrong?

Regards,

Robert.

Re: [SLUG] (no subject)

2002-04-02 Thread Saurabh Shukla


Hi,

You need to work on the cost and the bandwidht constraints before making any such 
decsion.

All web hosting services can offer you JSP servers, but you have to decide which 
one do you want you use. Do u want a freeware like Tomcat or Resin(close to free) or 
Orion or Jetty.
or if your clinet has $$$ and  can pay and buy websphere/weblogic . 

If you do not have bandwidth issues there is no harm in setting it in your client's 
office.

hth,
SHuklix.

Hello Grant, thanks for the suggestion - now that you mention it, my 8.1 
install occaisionally gives messages about bios clock errors (still works 
fine though so it must be able to recover) I'll try reinstalling again this 
weekend and let you know the result. 

Thankyou, Mehmet

Any external serial modem should be fine.
I would recommend Swansmart from personal experience - however other
Sluggers may have problems with them - they defintely work well with Linux
