Have you got a link from /var to /usr ? (If not, do 'ln -s /usr /var')
|
|
If so, is there a directory /var/spool/lpd ?
|
|
If so, is there a file /var/spool/lpd/lock AND/OR /var/spool/lpd/lpd.lock ?
|
|
If so, remove them !

Hello hackers,
|
|
|
|
I'm currently writing a devicedriver for the DAS-12 I/O-board.
|
|
I try to use dma to fill a 64k block an take advantage of the dma counter
|
|
which loops after 64k. Before this loop happens I have to check out if
|
|
some of the dma-memory, for example 32k, has been allready filled and
|
|
then send a signal to the user program which had started the data recording.
|
|
My problem is how to send the signal. I studied the kernel hackers guide allready
|
|
but didn't find any note how to send a signal from a kernel driver to an user
|
|
program.
|
|
If somebody knows where to look, I would be happy if he could share his
|
|
knowledge with me.
|
|
|
|
Bye, Ove.

Start your xterm with the optione '-ls' !
|
|
|
|
That way xterm will read the .login or .profile because it'll act
|
|
as a login shell.

Please note that "HZ" on Linux is 100, not 60, unlike most other common
|
|
Unix systems (SunOS, Ultrix, *BSD, etc.). Since 5217.4 / 8695.7 is
|
|
*exactly* 60/100, it's clear that the time taken under Linux was exactly
|
|
the same as the time taken under 386BSD. Note also that the "Dhampstone"
|
|
results were identical.
|
|
|
|
Remember, these are designed to CPU-only benchmarks, so they don't
|
|
exercise the OS at all. Leave those "shared library" theories at home :-)

I find this hard to believe. Subjectively on a 4Mb machine I found Linux

faster however straight CPU benchmarks were within 5% for 386BSD, Linux,

Date: 6 Oct 93 10:37:26 GMT

|

hi,I'm trying to make XDMCP connections from an Xterminal to my linux server
|
|
Whenever the Xterminal does an XDMCP request to the Linux server the linux
|
|
server doesn't respond...
|
|
|
|
So what I'm trying to do is setup a Remote Xterminal that sends a XDMCP request
|
|
to the linux server for a login window....and then just work on the Xterminal
|
|
instead of the console.....
|
|
|
|
I'm running SLS 1.03 and I also have problems with XDM ....when I start it with
|
|
the display going to the console (normal setup) it will only allow me to login
|
|
three times..then the server will go down and I need to do a reboot...
|
|
|
|
Can Anybody help me with these 2 problems ??

a) obviously this NCR video card has no et4000 ;)
|
|
comment everything OUT in file /usr/X386/lib/X11/Xconfig that belongs to
|
|
vga256, comment IN what belongs to vga2.
|
|
Then cd /usr/bin/X11; rm X; ln -s XF86_Mono X
|
|
|
|
b) your mouse device is wrong.
|
|
edit Xconfig with the correct one. I dunno, what YOU have. *I* use a
|
|
Logitech Pilot, which will be
|
|
Microsoft "/dev/ttyS0"
|
|
|
|
c) Never mind Roman_M

This seems to be a bug.
|
|
You can work around by pressing ALT-F<another console>.
|
|
E.g. ALT-F2 if you started X on screen 1 (the bootup screen)

The following was recently posted by af426@yfn.ysu.edu (Eric E. Bardes) as
|
|
an answer to a similar question:
|
|
|
|
In the mount options it allows for the specification of uid, gid, and umask.
|
|
I have a special group called "dos" (gid=30) that I issue to anyone i want to
|
|
be able to read/write my dos partition. This is also good for floppies.
|
|
|
|
From the shell:
|
|
$ mount -t msdos -o uid=0,gid=30,umask=007 /dev/sda2 /dos
|
|
|
|
In /etc/fstab:
|
|
/dev/sda2 /dos msdos uid=0,gid=30,umask=007
|
|
|
|
This should be added to the FAQ.

Hello fellow Linuxers, please take a decision: the decision where to post
|
|
your messages. I find it rather annoying, when I see many articles in
|
|
COL and the same in COL.* (except COL.Announce, because its moderated). The
|
|
list is split up that long now, most sites now should carry all the COL.* now.
|
|
Or am I wrong there?
|
|
|
|
You are not wrong but I should add that if you do decide to cross-post
|
|
(anywhere on usenet) then at least have the common courtesy to do it
|
|
properly - post one copy of the article to multiple groups not
|
|
multiple copies. This way anyone with a decent newsreader will only
|
|
see it once.

Dear everybody,
|
|
I just get so frustrated on configuring for X. I am to Linux and X windows. When I try to use startx to run Xwindows, it gave a error message like this:
|
|
Could not open default font'fixed'
|
|
because it is in none of the fontpath directories.
|
|
But I have changed the config, so that the system can reach all of the
|
|
fontpath that given from the SLS packages. Also, I have problems with video
|
|
setting! I have a Zenith 486SX25, but I have no idea what video card I have..I guess is a paradise's. I hope if anyone can provide me information to config my Xwindows, I will greatly appreciate your help!!
|
|
|
|
Waiting your help!
|
|
