Re: [SLUG] Overclocking under LINUX
quote who=Mick Boda I wanted to get back into overclocking, but it crashes linux redhat. Is there anyway to hack the kernel so that it thinks it's running on a faster processor? No, the kernel won't care what speed the processor is running at. [ You only need to change kernels if you change architectures or sub-architectures, not MHz. :-) ] Alternatively there is an Epox motherboard (8K9A+) with locakable PCI slots, that can unlock athlon XP processors without physically cutting and joining bridges, would this scenario then allow Linux to be overclocked (assuming the motherboard has some sort of CPU blocking technology) Not sure, but you're not always going to get a good result when overclocking a box with Linux on it. Linux drives the hardware much harder than Windows usually would, so it's more likely to barf. Maybe it's time to get the best hardware for your most excellent OS. ;-) - Jeff -- Socks for the foot menu! - Liam Quin -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Is there anyway to hack the kernel so that it thinks it's running on a faster processor? What you are seeing has NOTHING to do the what processor speed Linux may or may not think its running. If your machine is stable at the rated clock speed, and crashes when above the rated clock speed then you are running into the limits of what that piece of hardware is capable of. The main thing that happens when you increase the clock speed is that the quality of the digital signals within the components (CPU, bus controllers, PCI bridges, RAM chips etc etc) degrades. Clean transitions between logic 0 and logic 1 (and vice versa) become less clearly defined, the slopes of the transitions increase as a proportion of the clock speed etc. In addition, because heat is generated mostly during the switching transition and the swicthing time per clock cycle has increased, you get increased heating at higher clock rates. In addition, as the termperature goes up, so does the resistance and hence more heating and worse signals. The ONLY way that you MIGHT be able to overclock is if you can find the component which is causing the crashes and cool it down. Cooling will decrase the resistance, decrease the power consumption which and by doing that, help clean up the signals.

RE: [SLUG] How to Use VNC !!
It went in and opened an xterm. I thought that it would show the Linux graphical login screen, and once logged in it would take me to the graphical display I see when I logged in from the Linux machine itself. This seems different to the way cgiwin/XFREE86 works. It should give you X windows - basically a real bland type... Right click should give you the X windows menu... And so on. It's not like the windows version where you move the mouse and it moves the mouse on the local screen. It has its own terminal so to speak. Although, in the latest Mandrake (9.0, soon 9.1) they have actually implemented their own (I think its their own) sort of remote admin version of Linux VNC, where it acts like the windows VNC.. i.e you control the users mouse, KB etc. But I'm sure it has it's advantages. Now how do I kill this session. Does just getting out from Windows kill this session, or I have to do something at the Linux machine. Close VNC should do it, or right click for the menu to log out Havent used it on linux in ages.

[SLUG] Which XFree86 is Applicable for Red Hat 7.1 ?
Hi Sluggers: My live server box runs Red hat 7.1. No X Windows is installed. After browsing I believed that I need to install something called XFree86 for Red Hat 7.1. I came across this url http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2002-010.html#Red Hat Linux 7.1 which I believe has the stuff I need. However I don't know which ones I should download. i.e do I need SRPMS, alpha, i386, ia64, or noarch. How do I find this out ? Also do I need to install mesa, XFree86, and Xconfigurator stuff for the i386 (if this is what I need) to get X Windows going, or do I just install all the XFree86 rpms only that is provided ? Is it possible to use up2date to directly get these rpms ? If so what is the command ?

Comparing dpkg to rpm would be an interesting exercise, but I don't think I've yet seen a thorough, even-handed review of them. I've only had minor contact with up2date, and that was slightly unpleasant. But I hear it works fairly well, as does apt-rpm. In my uninformed and mildly biased opinion, that levels the playing field quite a bit. I just think debian wins out in its adherence to strict packaging policies. It still wins because it has an official repository of official packages, and you know that everything in that repository is going to work in similar, well-thought-out and sane ways. I liked the way it silently wiped out my modified /etc/mail/Makefile. I last checked late this afternoon, and debian stil didn't have official packages for my distribution. So most of my afternoon and evening was spent patching a source package, building a binary, and pushing it out to the boxes I manage. I had to manually tell dpkg not to recreate sendmail.cf, otherwise it would also wipe out my custom /etc/mail/Makefile. Yeah, I pretty much use debian exlusively.

[SLUG] X forwarding over ssh
Hi all,
can I have X forwarding over ssh such that it works from
desktop to desktop machines with 2 firewalls in between?
ie.
desktop1 -- fw1 --internet-- fw2 -- desktop2
and desktop 1 and 2 have private IP addresses (on different
subnets etc as well). fw 1 and 2 have real IP addresses.
So far when I try this, my display var starts off set to
:0 on desktop1, I ssh -X to fw2, display var is now not
set so no X apps start. I manually set the DISPLAY to
export DISPLAY=`echo $SSH_CLIENT | awk '{print $1:0}'`
but the trouble is it is the IP address of fw1 which not
surprisingly rejects the connection.
So what am I doing wrong?
ta,
Dave.

Try passing init= option to kernel' Can anyone help me figure this one out ? I never had a problem using the boot disk to boot into linux even tho partition is above cyl 1024 before this. cheers turbo3000. -- ___ http://www.operamail.com Now with OperaMail Premium for only US$29.99/yr Powered by Outblaze -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

James Gregory wrote: distribution. Redhat 7.1 is pretty old. Xfree V3. something or other is the answer to the question originally asked. wholeheartedly agree. Up2date probably can do it but you'll need to read the documentation to find out how. I don't think anyone actually uses it. The trick with using RedHat's Up2date is to use wget to download the updates from http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au server, or elsewhere (launch up2date and get the version required. Put these downloads into the /var/spool/up2date directory, then run the RHNetwork stuff. If it finds the update files there, then it uses them.

I'm not having a go at anyone. Just confirming that what a search pops
up can be total trash sometimes. I might have mentioned that when asking
for debian networking help the other day. I used three words like
(debian network config) and the results were anything but. I don't know
if it is consistent/reproducible, but it does happen occassionally. I
have no idea where the problem is. I notice that google sometimes does a
similar job as well fttt.

Has anyone been able to import .PST files from Outlook to another email client. I can't remember if they were .pst files (what version of outlook is it?), but I have been able to import outlook files into kmail before (~12 months ago). kmail turned them into a more linux friendly format (mbox I think) that I could use to import into the client I really wanted them in (evolution for the g/f). At the time I couldn't work out how to do it with evolution directly however it may be able to do it on it's own now. So suggestion is:- make a copy of the files onto your linux box, check whether your client has an import outlook option, if not, cross your fingers and try importing into kmail. From there you should be able to massage them into whichever client is your preference. ***Confidentiality and Privilege Notice*** This email is intended only to be read or used by the addressee.

It looks like your ssh is not requesting X forwarding, regardless of the -X flag. I get a debug1: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing. when I tried -v -v -X here, even when it is denied from the other side. The lack of the DISPLAY variable also points to this. Typically, it will be something like lisa:10. So why is your ssh not asking for X11 forwarding? Maybe there's an option in your local .ssh config (personal or /etc/ssh/ssh_config which says not to ask for X) Or maybe it doesn't know you using X at the local end. I presume the DISPLAY is exported. You could try setting it explicitly: export DISPLAY=desktop1:0 and try again.

I did it using an imap server. (Setup an imap server on your linux box, conenct outlook to it, copy up all the mail, then the linux box can connect to the imap serve also). I'll second that. I mucked around with other options for a while and ran into too many glitches. Outlook crashed on me several times before I had it all done, but was generally much easier to use this imap approach. I think that the University of Washington IMAP server while it has security issues (read any file as a logged in user) probably does allow you to just dump your mail straight into mbox files rather than having to do a second imap transfer to get your files to a usable form on your linux box.

I managed to fix the problem and thought I'd post it here as a reference for the next poor sod who needs to do this. The problem was two fold: 1) don't use + as a domain seperator as it can cause problems with samba resolving domain groups. (good 'ole testparm told me so) 2) domain groups are case sensitive (duh !) When referencing domain groups in samba be sure to enclose the group in double quotes if the group name includes spaces eg. @DOMAIN\Domain Users I love google groups and especially comp.protocols.smb ! :-) -- Rgds, Chris MacKenzie Either one of us, by himself, is expendable.

RE: [SLUG] Steps to install printing (lprng) on new debian system
I don't know what your requirements are but have you considered cups?
The packages you'll want are cupsys and foomatic-db there will be some
dependencies that apt will solve. Configure via QT-Cups or the web
interface.
For lpr you'll want lprng then I find printtool useful to configure
(if you have a GUI)
