I have a GA 586 HX running an K6-3, with a RIVA TNT 1 card, sitting on my
PCI bus. My kernel is 2.4.1, i downloaded the NVIDIA Kernel and GLX Package
from www.nvidia.com, version 0.9-6. Compiled and installed and inserted the
module NVdriver, as the NVIDIA people have writen in theri FAQs etc. The
librarys and modules are correctly installed, too. Twice and more times I ve
redone this. When I use the nv driver everythink works except 3d, but with
the nvidia driver nothing works. X starts and immidieatly exits back to text

any hints please ?

windows seperated by space (bosco tsang), and in /etc/smbusers, I am using
'bosco tsang' ...is this ok? Anything else I am missing?
Btw, one security issue ...since I've setup samba daemon, the log
indicated
that a lot of using from outside trying to access it (although all result
in
access denied). I am wondering why some many users are doing so ...and is
there anyway to make it undetectable from outside. I am using 2 NICs and

Patrik
When rpm says it can't find the dependencies it means either:
1) your path doesn't include the location where they are installed, or
2) you don't have them.
To fix #1 add their location to the environmental variable PATH by putting
PATH=$PATH:their location
in bash.rc or boot.local or ~./profile
To fix #2 go out to http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM
and download and install what you need.

I'm curious, what does this figure count? Kernel-only developers,

but a bit low for all people who've ever been on a GPL project.)
You are correct sir.
The 100,000 people are working on everything you see in a typical

As far as I know, there is no way to do what you want without traversing the
whole filesystem. And if it was possible, which of the many filenames should
be returned to you in the case of hardlinks?
And in addition to multiple names, a file may also have zero names.

It says both. However, with no arguments, there is no "-e", which means

However, with no arguments, "Without -E, the following sequences are
recognized and interpolated:" is explicitly stating that backslash escapes
will work. But they don't.
What's worse, the bash builtin doesn't recognise them either.
It does if you use -e.
Which is of no use at all if you are running #!/bin/sh scripts, unless you
want to edit every script to use "echo -e" instead of "echo". (And, in that

You mean, when you type "ls" you see directories in blue and tar.gz in

Well, that's just "ls --color" (or the equivalent in your shell). many

Identd is the daemon which establishes user identities for

/etc/rc.d/init.d/identd or it may be run via inetd.
I checked several machines running RedHat 6.1, and found
it was stopped. chkconfig showed it off. So it is run

Those are not commands, they are devices.
Just what would you expect executing /dev/fd0 to do?
Oh brother. I made a typo. That should read "invoking commands that
includes a dev such as ftape or fd0"
Clear now?
Then assuming they have the right major and minor (2,0 for fd0 and 27,0
for rft0, which is what ftape usually points at), it's probably that you
built a kernel lacking support for floppy devices.
Look at /proc/devices. If you don't see fd as major 2 under block
devices, that's your problem.
Turned out to be a kernel problem. Even the install kernel had the
problem. Recompiling and remaking modules solved the problem.

Subject: Temp monitor prog for Linux?
Date: 14 Jul 1999 00:07:55 GMT
Greetings,
Does anyone know of a Linux program that is similar to the windows program
Motherboard Monitor 4 which can display the temperature of my CPUs on an
Abit BP6 motherboard?
I'm running kernel 2.2.5 on a dual overclocked Celery 450A and really am
curious what the temps are compared to running NT.
Thanks,

The documentation is some of the worst I've ever come across.
No, I'm running SuSE in two boxes, an AMD K-6 2 3Dnow with EIDE, and a
dual P-II SMP, full U2WSCSI/3 boxes. Both are as stable as a rock.
The only down time have been when I issued the shutdown command.
I think you have mis configed something.
Yes, the doc can be improved. But it's not worst than M$'s doc.

You might have to load/compile the iso9660 fs in. CDROMs use the
ISO9660 filesystem and that normally has to be compiled into a Linux
kernel. With later kernels (2.0 ) you can use insmod to load the
iso9660 fs as a module.

Please reply to my email address.
Try deleting your .Xclients in your home directory.

There is probably good reason not to do this, unless you use the -g
option :-))

Many of the older HOWTO documents are based on Slackware, but the new

on the list of distros represented).
There really isn't a distro "vanilla" Linux layout, at least as far as
I know. The main elements of the filesystem will always be there, but
some things can vary quite a bit.
