|
|
|
After downloading almost the entire SLS 1.03 distribution, I find that
|
|
my current system does not boot using the SLS a1.3. It claims that I
|
|
have a sound card installed, and then hangs. I removed all hardware but
|
|
for my MFM controler, and 512k ATI VGA Wonder. Still says I have a sound
|
|
card installed. No-go. Ok, so now I have spoken to people on irc who
|
|
say. . ."SLS? Mistake!" or "MCC is the best." or "Slackware is the
|
|
most bug free. . ." Well, I ca't make sense of this at all. So if
|
|
somone could please clear up the situation, I'd be most appreciative.
|
|
|
|
My questions are: Which package is best for a new user to install?
|
|
which is the most error-free instalation? Which contains all the
|
|
important stuff, including X-windows? Which is the best?!!!! (grin).
|
|
|
|
I booted up Slackware's boot, and it worked fine. It seems like quite
|
|
an excellent system, compared to my experience with SLS.
|
|
|
|
Ok, so give me the low down on the different dists., and tell me if I
|
|
can keep the SLS "x" series of the disks, even if I install the
|
|
Slackware.
|
|
|
|
Thanks!

I've upgraded the kernel, shared libraries, and keyboard table utilities
|
|
in the Slackware Linux distribution on ftp.cdrom.com. The files that
|
|
have changed are noted in README_ChangeLog. Just in case anyone was in
|
|
the middle of downloading (again), the old files will be saved in
|
|
/pub/linux/slackware/obsolete for a while. This also provides a nice
|
|
safety net in case I introduced any big bugs :^)
|
|
|
|
The kernel has been upgraded to the newly released .99 patch level 13,
|
|
and the shared libraries have been upgraded to version 4.4.2 alpha. I
|
|
know I said I wasn't going to do that, but I'm giving in. I'll replace
|
|
these with the official versions as soon as they are released. The
|
|
keyboard utilities have been upgraded to version 0.81, and several new
|
|
keyboard maps are included.
|
|
|
|
The new package "shlibs.tgz" cannot be upgraded using pkgtool. If you
|
|
wish to upgrade an existing system, do the following:
|
|
|
|
Put "shlibs.tgz" in your root directory.
|
|
Boot the bootdisk, and mount your root partition under /root.
|
|
rm /root/lib/libc.so.*
|
|
rm /root/lib/libm.so.*
|
|
cd /root
|
|
zcat shlibs.tgz | tar xvf -
|
|
|
|
Reboot, and you'll be all set.

I had the same problem yesterday (with SLS-1.03). Create a directory
|
|
/var/spool/lpd, and edit the /etc/printcap file to be correct. Mine
|
|
had an open entry for a hp Laserjet (which is ok for me), but the
|
|
"of=" entry is wrong (there is no output filter there, remove this entry)
|
|
and better set "sd=/var/spool/lpd" and "lf=/var/spool/lpd/lpd.log".
|
|
After that lpd should come up, and could be enabled with the lpc commands.
|
|
|
|
There is unfortunately not printcap(5) man page, but as an old 386bsd hacker,
|
|
I got one from there.

RTF FAQ! (Enclosed clipping for your benefit.)
|
|
===================
|
|
Question 4.3. How can I have more than 16Mb of swap ?
|
|
|
|
You have to set up more than one swap partition or swapfile. Linux only
|
|
supports swap area sizes up to 16Mb, but you can set up and configure
|
|
several swap areas and Linux will use them all.

Please help. I am using Linux and gcc. I also have dbg and xxxdbg. My problem is this
|
|
I have a program that uses doubles, I can compile the code, but when I run the
|
|
program it crashes giving the error
|
|
program received signal 8, floating point exception error
|
|
|
|
When I got my setup it said
|
|
|
|
HOSTTYPE=i386
|
|
|
|
I am running Linux on a 486DX/33, it was installed on this machine.
|
|
|
|
I am certain that the program core's because it cannot use the maths co-pro on the 486, because it is in i386 mode.
|
|
|
|
How can I fix this, how can I set the HOSTTYPE to 486.
|
|
|
|
Also where can I get PS docs for gcc, dbg and xxxdbg, or even books on these programs.
|
|
|

I have tried everything, but nothing helps. Please help. ASAP.

Me too. But it's an ET3000, and even root hangs (though less frequent).
|

Strange enough, this doesn't seem to happen with my old 99pl8 Image.

Has anyone ever tried other kernels ? Maybe pl13A ?

Egads! And I even checked for updates before reinstalling last night!
|
|
|
|
Oh well. Here are some Obligatory Cleanups for slackware103:
|
|
|
|
/etc/rc.local looks for /etc/syslog[dk],
|
|
which are actually located in /usr/bin, so they never run.
|
|
|
|
Also, some of the commented out examples in syslog.conf
|
|
do not actually work when uncommented..
|
|
|
|
There are still many duplicated man pages in /usr/man/cat1,
|
|
mostly of the form: xclock.1.z xclock.1x.z
|
|
|
|
There are several games manpages in /usr/man/cat1 that
|
|
really belong in (and are formatted for) /usr/man/cat6
|
|
|
|
Not all of the /usr/man/{cat[0-9],man[0-9]} dirs are created.

Sorry, but thats just wrong. Of course both adaptors are SCSI-2. Sorry again.
|
|
To prevent being flamed I'll withdraw my stupid statement
|
|
|
|
One of the main differences between B and C is the SCSI select feature which
|
|
can entered during boot time by just pressing Ctrl-A. This feature allows you to
|
|
modify the settings of the card (e.g. disabling the host bus termination,
|
|
selecting the DMA transfer rate, testing the bus, and a lot more) without
|
|
changing any jumpers and without the need of any other utility progs.
|
|
|
|
Actually the 1542C allows a slighty higher DMA transfer rate (10 Mb/s instead
|
|
of 8 Mb/s) but this feature is only of theoretical use, because the bus is
|
|
not affected - the recommend setting for most hardware combinations is still 5 Mb/s.

Subject: can't start xconsole in X for non-root user
|
|

Hi there,
|
|
I've been unable to get xconsole to open the console when
|
|
running X as a non-root user. The xconsole works fine for root or su
|
|
but not for normal user. I have done the following but no success:
|
|
1) set root uid for xterm, xconsole, X386, xdm, xinit
|
|
2) set perm for tty0 to be 'rw' for all
|
|
3) /dev is now 'rwx' for all
|
|
I'm currently running SLS's copy of Linux and Xfree 1.2. Can
|
|
someone enlighten me on this ?
|
|
|
|
Thanks in advance,
|
|
Wai-Ming Ho

Subject: Why are my SCSI drivers so slooooww

I suppose you could qualify this as a help request.
|
|
Under DOS, I can move 45 Meg between partitions in about 18 seconds
|
|
with a HP SCSI disk, and an Adaptec 1542. Not bad - quite happy in fact.
|
|
|
|
Under linux I moved 200 Meg between partitions the other night in just
|
|
under 30 MINUTES. Do the calcuations, is there something major I've
|
|
done wrong. I'm running pl12 at the moment on a 486-50 - with 8 meg of
|
|
RAM. When I reboot, I should have pl13 running.
|
|
|
|
sigh - love the OS, but my poor HD is sooo sloooow.
|
|
|
|
(mail replies are probably a good thing.)

I have a similar problem.
|
|
I'm trying to compile perl5alpha under linux (only guaranteed to work
|
|
on sun sparc ;) And any time (all the time) it tries to coerce a
|
|
double to a (long) int it generates an FPE.
|
|
|
|
Is this an interaction between gcc * the fpu? is their a switch to fix
|
|
it?
|
|
|
|
thanx,
|
