On most modems I know about, 'AT&F' turns *OFF* error correction. Try AT&F2
|

and see what happens.

Hi Linuxers,
|
|
I'm planning to buy a Targa 17" monitor and of course a new VGA card.
|
|
I'm concerned about speed, therefore I have some question about that:
|
|
|
|
1) Up to you, wich will be the best buy for a VGA card (price/performance)?
|
|
(I don't want to spend too much, for example for a Viper chipset).
|
|
2) When using a 17" monitor, what's the resolution on it and will I be able
|
|
to have a full screen display or will it still be a "dancing" virtual
|
|
screen?, do I need a particular VGA chipset?
|
|
3) Do you know the "Targa" monitor's brand? Is it good?
|
|
4) Will your adviced card be fast with DOS, also?
|
|
5) Will having 2M instead of 1M onboard really speed-up my display?
|
|
|
|
|
|
PS: at present I have a Trident 8900C, it's kind of slow, right?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Very thank you guys,
|
|
have a wonderful day.

Hi,
|
|
|
|
I have dial-in enabled on my box with uugetty. It works perfectly with an acient 2400
|
|
Bd modem (the caller). When the caller has an 14400Bd modem too, the connection is
|
|
made, but uugetty dies with a segmentation fault.
|
|
|
|
I think it has to do with the missing 14400 speed line in /etc/gettydefs. Is it safe
|
|
to add it bluntly? or is there any other alternative (locked on 38400, for instance,
|
|
instead of auto-select through circulating speed lines in /etc/gettydefs)
|
|
|
|
Any hints welcome, i want them to call!!
|
|
|
|
Thanx,
|
|
Steef

Subject: Floppy disk errors
|
|
Date: 30 Aug 1994 19:57:13 GMT
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since several kernel revisions I've encountered some reproducable errors
|
|
with handling floppy disks. The procedure is as follows:
|
|
|
|
1. fdformat /dev/fd0H1440
|
|
2. mke2fs -c -v /dev/fd0H1440 1440
|
|
3. remove disk from drive
|
|
4. insert it again
|
|
5. e2fsck -v -y -f /dev/fd0H1440
|
|
|
|
Step 5 shows the message
|
|
Block bitmap -151587082 for group 0 not in group.
|
|
If I try to mount such a disk before checking it, I get the message
|
|
ext2_check_descriptors: Block bitmap for group 0 not in group
|
|
(block 4143380214)!
|
|
Another time I copied some files to a disk after creating the file system and
|
|
mounting the disk. Then after unmounting, removing, inserting and mounting
|
|
the disk again I got the two messages:
|
|
ext2_check_blocks_bitmap: Wrong free blocks count for group 0,
|
|
stored = 1241, counted = 1377
|
|
ext2_check_blocks_bitmap: Wrong free blocks count in super block,
|
|
stored = 1241, counted = 1377
|
|
|
|
The problem still exists if I'm using MSDOG formated floppy disks.
|
|
|
|
I'm using e2fsprogs-0.5a with kernel 1.1.49 on 386 and 486 systems with
|
|
Adaptec 1542C and on 486-PCI with NCR53c7,8xx.
|
|
|
|
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Subject: PLIP: Laptop to Desktop
|
|
Date: 30 Aug 1994 20:07:34 GMT
|
|
|
|
I have been folloing the recent discussions on PLIP setup
|
|
and after reading the HOWTOs and getting a cable made (following
|
|
the pin-out as described in NET-2-HOWTO) dared to try:
|
|
|
|
the desktop (sierra) is a 486/66 running Linux 1.1.18,
|
|
the laptop (oblivion) is a 486/25 running Linux 1.0.8.
|
|
|
|
After recompiling the kernels with the PLIP option, the desktop reports
|
|
plip0: configured for parallel port at 0x3bc, IRQ 5.
|
|
on boot-up, the laptop says
|
|
plip1: configured for parallel port at 0x378, irq 7.
|
|
|
|
then on the desktop, I do:
|
|
ifconfig plip0 sierra pointopoint oblivion up
|
|
route add -host oblivion
|
|
and on the laptop:
|
|
ifconfig plip1 oblivion pointopoint sierra up
|
|
route add -host sierra
|
|
|
|
but no luck: none of the network services (ping, telnet, ...)
|
|
work. They just hang.
|
|
|
|
"dmesg" reports this on the desktop:
|
|
plip0: Connect failed in send_packet().
|
|
"dmesg" reports this on the laptop:
|
|
plip1: wrong header octet
|
|
checksum error
|
|
|
|
What did I do wrong ?
|
|
Are the 2 kernel versions compatible in using PLIP ?
|
|
Could it be that my laptop has a wrong parallel port chip
|
|
(something to that effect was mentioned in the NET-2-HOWTO,
|
|
the laptop is a Midwest Micro Elite subnotebook) ?
|
|
|
|
Any help is appreciated.

I don't use xdm, but I'll take a look. I've followed this thread for a while
|
|
and _finally_ got xconsole to work with:
|
|
|
|
startx >& /dev/console
|
|
|
|
which I've now aliased startx to. No problems (tho' it's probably a major
|
|
security hole or something; inelegant at the very least).

Tss, tss, Alt-F6 ! When "shutdown kills X, you go back to VC1, where X was
|
|
started first, so you're on a text term. In runlevel 6, the only text terminal
|
|
available for login is the 6 one, so you might have type the command on
|
|
this terminal, don't you ? To go back to this terminal, hit the Alt-F6 key, it
|
|
should work. at least it works on my linux box...

Perhaps not related, but on a similar note, when I get done using ftape on my

All that is neccissary is to boot up in "single user mode". On a SUN
|
|
I think you would give "vmunix -s" to boot in singleuser. (I only had
|
|
to do it once :-) ) I don't know what the same command would be in Linux
|
|
though. I'm sure it is possible. Then you can re-edit your passwd file
|
|
with vi. After all this was done, then I think a CNTL-D switched from
|
|
single user to multi-user mode. All this was about 2 years ago, so I
|
|
may be rusty.

No, it should not. It has no effect unless you run it as root. (Haven't

we been through this already?)

This package has caused so many people to freak out for no good reason

There is way to avoid checking whole filesystem during boot.
|
|
The followind rc script has been taken from Slackware 2.0.0.
|
|
Before using that make this with your kernel image:
|
|
|
|
rdev -R /vmlinux 1
|
|
|
|
where
|
|
/vmlinux is your kernel Image.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
#
|
|
# /etc/rc
|
|
#
|
|
# These commands are executed at boot time by init(8).
|
|
# User customization should go in /etc/rc.local.
|
|
|
|
PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
|
|
|
|
# enable swapping
|
|
/sbin/swapon -a
|
|
|
|
# Start update.
|
|
/sbin/update &
|
|
|
|
# Test to see if the root partition is read-only, like it ought to be.
|
|
READWRITE=no
|
|
if echo -n >> "Testing filesystem status"; then
|
|
rm -f "Testing filesystem status"
|
|
READWRITE=yes
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
# Check the integrity of all filesystems
|
|
if [ ! $READWRITE = yes ]; then
|
|
/sbin/fsck -A -a
|
|
# If there was a failure, drop into single-user mode.
|
|
if [ $? -gt 1 ] ; then
|
|
echo
|
|
echo
|
|
echo "**************************************"
|
|
echo "fsck returned error code - REBOOT NOW!"
|
|
echo "**************************************"
|
|
echo
|
|
echo
|
|
/bin/login
|
|
fi
|
|
# Remount the root filesystem in read-write mode
|
|
echo "Remounting root device with read-write enabled."
|
|
/sbin/mount -w -n -o remount /
|
|
else
|
|
cat << EOF
|
|
|
|
*** Root partition has already been mounted read-write. Cannot check!
|
|
For filesystem checking to work properly, your system must initially mount
|
|
the root partition as read only. Please modify your kernel with 'rdev' so that
|
|
it does this. If you're booting with LILO, type:
|
|
rdev -R /vmlinuz 1
|
|
(^^^^^^^^ ... or whatever your kernel name is.)
|
|
|
|
If you boot from a kernel on a floppy disk, put it in the drive and type:
|
|
rdev -R /dev/fd0 1
|
|
|
|
This will fix the problem *AND* eliminate this annoying message. :^)
|
|
|
|
EOF
|
|
sleep 10
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
# remove /etc/mtab* so that mount will create it with a root entry
|
|
/bin/rm -f /etc/mtab* /etc/nologin /etc/utmp
|
|
|
|
# Looks like we have to create this.
|
|
cat /dev/null >> /etc/utmp
|
|
|
|
# mount file systems in fstab (and create an entry for /)
|
|
# but not NFS because TCP/IP is not yet configured
|
|
/sbin/mount -avt nonfs
|
|
|
|
# Configure the system clock.
|
|
# This can be changed if your system keeps GMT.
|
|
if [ -x /sbin/clock ]; then
|
|
/sbin/clock -s
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
# Setup the /etc/issue and /etc/motd to reflect the current kernel level:
|
|
# THESE WIPE ANY CHANGES YOU MAKE TO /ETC/ISSUE AND /ETC/MOTD WITH EACH
|

|
|
echo > /etc/issue

echo Welcome to Linux `/bin/uname -a | /bin/cut -d\ -f3`. >> /etc/issue

# set up extended serial ports try it out. It usually works great.

It depends on what program you're using to telnet in...it seems that
|
|
every one is different. I have a mostly functional termcap for QVT,
|
|
and I'm trying to work with a friend to get a termcap for QM Win working.
|
|
|
|
I'd really like to see some type of termcap repository so that others
|
|
don't have to duplicate my efforts and I don't have to duplicate others
|
|
work. What do you netters think?

Hi,
|
|
The /usr/adm/wtmp file records all logins/logouts. Upon examining the system,
|

I found that there isn't a file like that. How do you enable this process?.
|

Can someone help me out.

Has anyone experience in getting future domain tmc950 cards to work properly under
|
|
linux ?
|
|
|
|
Ive followed the advice in the FAQ's, managed to fdisk the scsi drives ok, but when
|
|
setup calls fdisk with the -l option to list partitions, it fails 'coz fdisk
|
|
reports on needing to set heads/sect/cyls etc. I overcame this by hacking the script,
|
|
but then during the format phase, it all locks up.
|
|
|
|
controller is at ca00 int 5, and has v6.0 rom from future domain, but the card looks
|
|
like a clone of some sort. when the system boots from floppy it reports ST01/02, and
|
|
shows scsi devices correctly.
|
|
|
|
I'm figuring theres probably something obvious thats escaped me ...
|
|
|
|
Any help appreciated.

I use Dell 433s/P Netplex with the same type of ethercard and I discovered
|
|
no trouble. I use Slackware 2.0.0 with kernel 1.0.9. Works perfectly. So:
|
|
check out the settings if IRQ channel and I/O address at your card and
|
|
compare it to the defaults in kernel source.

Subject: 4P Serial on same IRQ ?
|

|

Reply-To: mayfield@itd.adelaide.edu.au

Ive set up an MS400 card with all 4 ports on irq7, using the AA4RE interrupt
|
|
sharing mod (4x1n4148, 1x4.7kOhm etc).
|
|
|
|
Every time I use setserial to set the serial irq's to 7, it locks up the whole
|
|
machine (I know it warns about this).
|
|
|
|
I have no parallel ports, scsi is on 5. Ive tried it as ttyS0-3, and also with
|
|
a dual port S0-1 with the 4 port at S2-5, as well as removing the 2 port and
|
|
just trying the 4 port as ttyS4-7 et al. same results all the time. I also tried
|
|
the IRQ commoned to 2/9 instead of 7 (2 is a standard setting for the MS400, 7
|
|
has to be engineered :-)
|
|
|
|
any help would be greatly appreciated !
