Hi, all. Thanks to those who answered. Apparently the problem is that
|
|
the install file, as I received it, reads:
|
|
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
./lilo $1 -C /etc/lilo/config
|
|
|
|
but where it says './lilo' it should say, instead '/etc/lilo/lilo'.
|
|
|
|
Once again, thanks, and I hope that this is changed in the next release.

Subject: Microsoft Inport Mouse
|
|
Date: Tue, 5 Oct 93 01:12:52 GMT
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm having trouble getting Linux/XFree86 to recognize
|
|
my Microsoft Inport mouse. I've got 99pl12. Here's
|
|
what I've tried so far:
|
|
|
|
Using the original kernel, which detected a MS Busmouse,
|
|
Logitech mouse, and an ATI inport mouse at the same
|
|
time (odd!), I created /dev/inportbm with major = 10,
|
|
minor = 2. Then, I specified Busmouse "/dev/inportbm"
|
|
in the Xconfig, and also tried Microsoft "/dev/inportbm".
|
|
I tried setting baudrate to 1200 and 9600 for both of these
|
|
configurations. Didn't work.
|
|
|
|
Then, as per someone's suggestion, I recompiled the kernel
|
|
and specified that I only wanted to detect the Microsoft
|
|
Busmouse. The kernel successfully detected only the
|
|
Microsoft Busmouse. I tried the above configurations in
|
|
my Xconfig file again, and it still didn't work.
|
|
|
|
What's a fellow gotta do to get X to work with his Microsoft
|
|
Inport mouse?
|
|
|
|
I also tried making a symbolic link from /dev/mouse to
|
|
/dev/inportbm, because there was some comment on this in a
|
|
man page or doc file I read. That didn't work (obviously).
|
|
|
|
Oh, one other probably relevant piece of information: I've
|
|
got an S3 chipset, and I'm using the XS3 Xserver. Is it
|
|
still Linux's responsibility to enable my mouse, or the xserver's?
|
|
|
|
Any suggestions? Please mail scottco@lynx.cs.washington.edu,
|
|
as I don't read here very often (I'll post with a solution
|
|
if one comes through). Thanks,
|

It means everything is great. The kernel is just telling you about the

stuff.

Don't worry, be happy. It's working fine.

How about getting GNU C++ for your sun and installing that? It's

specifically configured so you can bootstrap yourself up to a working

copy with almost any C compiler, and then you'll have full ANSI C and

I do not know whether it is a good idea to put this all into one program,

I will throw myself at the user-maintainement-stuff first.

I personally would like to see some tools like this for text mode as

well since a graphical version will be much larger and slower to

navigate. It will be great for some but suppose you are not able to

get X running or don't use it? I wonder if we could write core
|
|
routines for doing things like parsing the various files and then
|
|
patch them together under the different interfaces. Just an idea. I
|
|
would like to do this but I have another major project in the works.
|
|
It's possible that it will not be feasible to provide different
|
|
interfaces to the same code but I would think parsers and low level
|
|
file manipulators would be pretty much common to both.

Just edit /etc/issue.

It's a really great place to color ANSI escape sequences. Better, don't

switch back to white and you get colorized text (until an ANSI reset).

To boot from the hard drive you need to run LILO. My experience is that
|
|
the LILO that comes from the Yggdrasil distribution will not work, because
|
|
of some incompatibility with the run-time library. With some trouble I
|
|
got LILO to run from a second Linux installation on another partition,
|
|
from SLS, but this is of course not a recommended fix.
|
|
|
|
In fact, I am not very happy with the Yggdrasil CD. As a CD, it is
|
|
expensive to produce an update, and the Yggdrasil is patchlevel 5 or 7,
|
|
while the newest Linux version is pl 13. Probably we are better off
|
|
with a bigger hard disk and the newest version from SLS or downloaded
|
|
from the net. E.g., Yggdrasils linux does not recognize ext2 file systems.

The MakeTeXPK created the fonts. However, the dvips cannot find it.
|
|
I also had set the TEXFONTS to /usr/TeX/lib/tex/fonts:.
|
|
How can i fix it?

No. From the SCSI HOWTO
|
|
|
|
Section 3 : Hosts
|
|
Subsection D: Adaptec 154x
|
|
|
|
Unsupported Configurations:
|
|
The 'C' revision BIOS options to
|
|
- Autoprobe
|
|
- Support > 2 hard disks with the BIOS
|
|
- Do extended mapping
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Turn off the > 1G option when booting Linux, and turn it on again when
|
|
booting DOS.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, find a contact at Adaptec and figure out why the > 1G option
|
|
breaks the Linux driver.

I seem to have a problwm printing. I get a banner page with lpr, but not
|
|
the file. I use an HP LaserJet 4 and the following printcap:
|
|
|
|
# HP Laser jet plus
|
|
lp:lp=/dev/lp1:\
|
|
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd:\
|
|
:mx#0:\
|
|
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd.log:\
|
|
:sh:
|
|
|
|
I thought sh was supposed to kill the banner?
|
|
|
|
I set up the perms as in the faq, and the daemon runs fine.
|
|
|
|
The printer is set to handle the staircase effect manually.
|
|
|
|
cat file > /dev/lp1 works fine.

Subject: Moved VI

|

|

I have a bad file perms problem that I need help with.
|
|
|
|
I moved my home directories to /usr2/home. I set the perms for the users
|
|
and changed the /etc/passwd.
|
|
|
|
When I run vi I am told (garbage()..... error writing to tmp file).
|
|
|
|
When I run strace it seems that it can't write to tmp (no room left one
|
|
device). The user can touch new files into /tmp w/o problem.
|
|
|
|
Of course :) root works fine.
|
|
|
|
Any clues where to look?
|
|
|
|
BTW: The elv files in tmp do get written.
|
|
|
|
Help Help!
