Linux Ad

2001-09-08 Thread Lee

Out here in the piney woods of Florida news and tv signals travel
slowly. Saw my first Linux ad on tv last night. It was for IBM Linux
servers. Claimed you could replace a whole warehouse full of servers
running that other system with one IBM server using reliable Linux
technology. Looks like Big Blue is serious about Linux and doesn't fear
the gang from Redmon WA.

Sony is a good brand and it may be the brand I buy in the near future. What I

flawslessly
for a number of years, perhaps making thousands of copies of various flavors of

putting it
to work... Both were scsi devices. Would I buy another Yamaha? Maybe, but it'd
have 
to be listed as 100% CDRECORD compatible and priced very cheap.

That said... I'll probably be buying an IDE interface cdrw this time around.
Something
that sports the BURN PROOF TECHNOLOGY tag... like for instance a TDK VELOCD
line of drives... TDK sells one that supposedly writes at 40x... Wow... If
true, it'll
be alot of fun. 

Basic advice would be... if your computer is totally IDE, then go with an IDE
CDRW 
device on it's own IDE channel. If you're able to use scsi devices, then scsi
is the
way to go. Over here, when the 4416s was still alive, I was able to stream from
a
Toshiba 40x scsi cdrom drive to the scsi burner at 4x and never made a bad
copy. All
the while I was running kde, netscape, you name it...

I've been told that ide writers were good, but I have my doubts if they can do
that
kind of activity because of bandwidth limitations, etc . I'll find out for
certain one of 
these days.

Slackware CD won't boot

2001-09-08 Thread Warren Rasmussen

Hi gang,

My little 'ole linux box has been going thru come changes. As a
result of an apparant hack to my eD2.4 I decided to reinstall,
but alass my Caldera CD's were all at work. The only thing I had
laying around here at home was RH7.0 so I gave it a whirl and it
installed no problem. It is very similar to eD2.4 but different
too in a number of ways, some I would call an improvement, some
not.

Recently, and partly because of this list, upon which I have
been lurking for a while, I came across Linux System Labs
website and saw that I could get numerous linux distros and
other goodies for dirt cheap prices. Sooo I invested all of
$32us including shipping and got 13 cds which I have been trying
out on a 2.4 gig spare hd I had. I just pull the one with RH on
it and reset the bios and plug in the test drive.

My test system is an old p133 with 48megs, a scsi CD, a Sony
CD-RW as the primary drive on the second ide cable, a lousy Mach
32 2 meg video card and my trusty old HP 855c printer.

I tried Caldera W3.1 but it hangs real quick and tells me I
shoulda had a pII.

Redmond Linux Beta 3 does the same thing. I knew it was based on
Caldera but I was hoping for better. I must say I was suprised
to see the Caldera logo still on the lilo boot screen. I mean
come on, if you're going to have your own distro at least you
can do is to replace the logo of the company you stole... ahem,
borrowed it from.

The most successful installation so far goes to EasyLinux,
another german product which has done a lot of good things with
KDE but unfortunately I have been unable to get their eXs
program to successfully create an X config file for my old video
card.

I had high hopes for Slackware 8.0 but I can't get past square
one. The cd won't boot. Here's the uniquely linux error messages
I get:

isolinux 1.62  Loading spec packet failed, trying to wing it

isolinux: Found something at drive = 9F
isolinux: Failed to access CD-ROM device; boot failed

at this point it just hangs.

I'm stumped. Is this a bad CD or what? I can read the cd when
I've got the RH system going but I don't want to dump the RH
until I'm sure I can replace it with something else that at
least lets me get back on the web so I can get help.

My system stops now.
Like my slackware message,
I try to wing it.

TIA,
Warren

Re: The Worm: How you doin'?

2001-09-08 Thread Joel Hammer

I am still getting 100 to 200 hits per day.
I have assumed these are just the same old infected machines, pounding away
day after day.
Not true.
The majority of machines hitting me in September only did it once. That
seems to say the majority are new infections, or at least they are new
around here. Most of them seem in be in the @HOME network, too.
This doesn't seem so surprising when you realize that anyone who hooks up
his windows box for the first time with a web page on the internet will be
infected within minutes, before he/she might think to install the patches.
And, despite @HOME's assurance of a proactive approach, nothing has changed
for several weeks here.

NFS / network performance

2001-09-08 Thread Tim Wunder

I spent much of this afternoon enabling NFS between my son's PC (Mandrak 8.0, 
K6-2-500, 128MB RAM, kernel 2.4.3-mdk) and mine (Caldera 3.1, Athlon 950, 
384MB RAM, kernel 2.4.9) and performance is slow, at best. We have 10 Megabit 
ethernet with only the 2 PCs and our gateway router (freesco -- connected to 
@Home) connected to a 4 port hub.

From his PC, he can mount the NFS shares and navigate the direcotries, even 
play some of the MP3s I have on my box. Directory navigation with Konqueror 
is WAY slow, though, and if he tries to play one of the .WAVs I have, 
performance is choppy at best. Is this the kind of performance that I should 
expect on 10Mb ethernet or is it indicative of another problem?

Additionally, my internet performance has been poor over the past day or 
2 (I downloaded Caldera's supplemental CD ISO last night at 30MB/sec where I 
was getting download speeds in the high 100's not too very long ago), but my 
son seems to think his hasn't been bad - no hard numbers from him, though). 
It's possible my network card is going up (it's about 2 years old, SMC Ultra 
32 ISA card).

Any recommendations on troubleshooting network performance?

Thanks, 
Tim

Gee, I have 4 machines on a NFS and I can access any with a click of 
themouse. 1 is a Winders box, 2 Linux boxes 1 is Solaris 8. go to network and 
select NFS select box and select dir.

I had no problems with my (rather limited) use of nfs when a 10 megabit hub 
was the network backbone here of course with a 100 megabit switch  
everything just blazes along.

 Additionally, my internet performance has been poor over the past day or
 2 (I downloaded Caldera's supplemental CD ISO last night at 30MB/sec where
 I was getting download speeds in the high 100's not too very long ago), but

Lol... interesting typo.  Being able to download an iso in under 25 seconds 
would be really cool.

CUPS Printing from Konqueror... Status 32!

2001-09-08 Thread Matthew Carpenter

Perhaps someone cann shine some light on an issue for me:

I have having an issue printing using CUPS from Konqueror.

SPECS:
COL Server 3.1 on a Celeron-450,
Canon BJC7004
CUPS
URL causing problem:
http://www.brasseagle.com/products/product_detail.asp?item_num=1410cat=Markers

Problem: error_log shows the following (note the stopped with status 32!):

I [08/Sep/2001:13:45:06 -0500] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops 
(PID 5087) for job 16.
I [08/Sep/2001:13:45:06 -0500] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic 
(PID 5088) for job 16.
I [08/Sep/2001:13:45:06 -0500] Started backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel 
(PID 5089) for job 16.
E [08/Sep/2001:13:45:07 -0500] PID 5088 stopped with status 32!

This is a problem since I'm attempting to print out Christmas Gift ideas for 
my wife! G  I haven't been able to find what that error message means...

Thanks all
Matt
