Hi, does your computer get as far as resolving a hostname into an IP
|
|
address? If not, try telnet with an IP address instead of a name and
|
|
see if that works (you can find out the IP address from another
|
|
(working!) computer)... if that does, chances are is that computer is
|
|
having problems resolving names, probably due to an incorrect
|
|
configuration in /etc/host.conf or /etc/resolv.conf. If you thinks
|
|
thats the problem, the these files should read something like this:
|
|
|
|
/etc/host.conf:
|
|
|
|
order hosts, bind
|
|
multi on
|
|
|
|
/etc/resolv.conf:
|
|
|
|
domain demon.co.uk
|
|
nameserver 127.0.0.1
|
|
|
|
(substitute your domain for 'demon.co.uk' and the IP address for your
|
|
nameserver in place of '127.0.0.1')

You can get a list of the color codes in /etc/DIR_COLORS, here's an

extract:
|
|
|
|
# Below are the color init strings for the basic file types. A color init
|

# Attribute codes:

|
|
# Text color codes:
|
|
# 30=black 31=red 32=green 33=yellow 34=blue 35=magenta 36=cyan 37=white
|
|
# Background color codes:
|
|
# 40=black 41=red 42=green 43=yellow 44=blue 45=magenta 46=cyan 47=white
|
|
NORMAL 00 # global default, although everything should be something.
|
|
FILE 00 # normal file
|
|
DIR 01;34 # directory
|
|
LINK 01;36 # symbolic link
|
|
FIFO 40;33 # pipe
|
|
|
|
You need to use the escape sequence ^[[ in front of the numbers, and
|
|
the suffix 'm'. You can get '^[' from the command line by pressing
|
|
control-v and then escape, or from emacs by pressing control-Q then
|
|
escape.
|
|
|
|
E.G. to echo something in blue (the color used for directories by ls)
|
|
|
|
echo '^[[01;36mBlue^[[00m'

Hi folks
|
|
I am working on graphics application using srgp and sphigs in my
|
|
Ambra EVL/66 DX2. My interaction with Linux and its friend thus far had
|
|
been smooth until I used srgp and sphigs to write programs for my graphics
|
|
class. I compiled the libraries and put the libsrgp.a and libsphig.a in the
|
|
approprate dir's, and it complies with out problem, when I tried to
|
|
execute them I get the message "Segementation Fault" would someone
|
|
kind enough to shade light what it means.
|
|
Does any body knows that the libphigs.a in /usr/X11/lib is the
|
|
actual phigs or is it phigs plus standard library, and further more
|
|
would some one knows if there are special linux specific compiled of
|
|
srgp and sphigs library.

Subject: swapfile: mkswap swapon
|
|
Date: 30 Sep 1994 10:16:03 GMT
|
|
|
|
When I notice my Linux (several user, 16Mb) running low on swapspace
|
|
I frequently create some additional swapfile (if there is some disk space)
|
|
and attach it:
|
|
|
|
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=4
|
|
mkswap /swapfile 4096
|
|
swapon /swapfile
|
|
|
|
However, frequently the system did not accept the newly created swapfile.
|
|
The reason is, that writing the swap signature to the swapfile ends up
|
|
in the Linux buffer pool, whereas the swapon system-call bmap's the file
|
|
directly from disk. The solution is quite easy:
|
|
|
|
sync after mkswap!
|
|
|
|
Perhaps this call should be implemented directly in the mkswap command.

I just got a slackware Linux 2.0 and installed on my machine.
|
|
Somehow, I messed up and Bootdisk does not start Linux.
|
|
|
|
In my lilo.conf, I only have DOS section because I want to start
|
|
Linux only from Boot-Floppy.
|
|
|
|
Also, how can I make changes for my Mitsumi CD-ROM working?
|
|
My base address for Mitusumi is 0x340 and irq 11, but Linux setup is
|
|
base address 0x300 and irq 11.
|
|
|
|
Can anybody give me good example of 'lilo.conf' file?
|
|
|
|
I installed only Toolkit for Linux part 1 which is one of two CDs.
|
|
Do I have to install the second CD-ROM in order to use X-Windows?
|
|
|

Thank you for your helps,

|
|
|

OK. After several mails indicating that smail does not have that
|
|
problem, I looked more closely. The culprit is in the OS configuration.
|
|
The hole doesn't show iff you 'HAVE=...SETEUID...' set in conf/os/linux -
|
|
smail then uses seteuid() to play with userids, and neither needs
|
|
nor uses check_path.
|
|
If you compile without SETEUID, check_path is neccessary.
|
|
|
|
I just recompiled my smail with SETEUID and can now safely omit check_path.
|
|
It doesn't hurt to have it in there, so it is still a good idea to
|
|
put check_path in the file transport configuration.
|
|
|
|
Sorry for any confusion this might have caused, but the problem seems
|
|
to exist in some distributions, so I think it is important.

Hello everyone,
|
|
|
|
I cannot make the two ones mentioned in the header work together. ZyXEL has
|
|
ROM 6.12, kernel is 1.1.51, dip is dated 5.9.94. Script's start is as follows:
|
|
|
|
*************
|
|
get $local walhalla
|
|
get $remote tserv
|
|
# Set netmask on sl0 to 255.255.255.0
|
|

|
|

|
|
# Set the desired serial port and speed.
|
|
port ttyS1
|
|
speed 38400
|
|
print Now connecting $local ($locip) towards $remote ($rmtip)...
|
|
|
|
# Reset the modem and terminal line.
|
|
# This seems to cause trouble for some people!
|
|
reset
|
|
|
|
# Prepare for dialing.
|
|
send ATQ0V1E1X4T&N17\r
|
|
wait OK 2
|
|
if $errlvl != 0 goto modem_trouble_1
|
|
dial 1613075
|
|
if $errlvl != 0 goto modem_trouble_2
|
|
wait CONNECT 60
|
|
if $errlvl != 0 goto modem_trouble_3
|
|
|
|
# We are connected. Login to the system.
|
|
*************
|
|
|
|
It breaks directly after dialing (and goes to modem_trouble_2). An older
|
|
script (and dip-3.3.7) make the connection with the very same modem without
|
|
any problems, and I do not know where to search for the error.
|
|
|
|
Can anyone help?
|

They got rid of the pure emulation that SoftPC did, then? That would imply

I want to transfer a binary file between Sun5.3 and Linux.
|
|
Generally, I use "tar" to transfer file, but it seems that "tar M"
|
|
does not work on the Sun's tar. The file is larger than 1.44MB.
|
|
What can I do?
|
|
|
|
Although "split" is line oriented, and designed for text files, you
|
|
can usually play around with the parameters to get reasonable size
|
|
chunks. Then stick each chunk on a floppy, then "cat" them together at
|
|
the other end.
|
|
|
|
Or you can write a binary split. It's pretty short, so here's one
|
|
someone else did earlier...
|
|
|
|
=======================================================================
|
|
|
|
This is a little C program to split files by size in bytes, rather than
|
|
by lines like the default Unix split. I use it to split large archives
|
|
to take home to unpack on the amiga by putting them on PeeCee format
|
|
disks. If anyone out there has a method of reading a multi-volume tar
|
|
archive off of disks with a PeeCee sector format let me know!
|
|
|
|
The program is supplied as source and should compile with any ANSI
|
|
standard C compiler (if you have gcc on your system just type "make").
|
|
Once you have compiled it, the command syntax is, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
bsplit GNUEmacs18-58.lha emacs.l 720000
|
|
|
|
Will produce files emacs.laa, emacs.lab, etc. of length suitable to
|
|
fit one of each on a PeeCee DS/DD 3.5" floppy. They can then be read
|
|
into your Amiga with MessyDOS or whatever and reassembled with:
|
|
|
|
join emacs.laa emacs.lab ... as GNUEmacs18-58.lha
|
|
|
|
or, if you have reed them in sequence:
|
|
|
|
join emacs.l?? as ....
|
|
|
|
|
|
I realise this is not an amazing piece of code but we're not all
|
|
programmers out there :-)

I'm trying to get the newest kernel to compile (think it is 1.1.51)
|
|
To work with I have : linux-1.1.45.tar.gz
|
|
patch46..51
|
|
|
|
To patch the kernel I'm doing the following:
|
|
1) remove link to current kernel src
|
|
2) pwd=/usr/src
|
|
3) tar -xzf linux-1.1.45.tar.gz
|
|
4) patch < patch46
|
|
5) strain eyes at text flashing by @ 1000 mph (everything seems to say
|
|
........ succeeded)
|
|
6) patch < patch47 ......... etc
|
|
|
|
Now the problem:
|
|
|
|
after certain patches new files (and their .orig) are left in /usr/src namely:
|
|
|
|
ncp.h
|
|
|
|

Subject: on board SCSI in Zeos systems
|

|
Hello all,
|
|
|
|
I am thinking of getting a SCSI drive for my Zeos dx66, running Linux.
|
|
Is there anybody out there who uses the on board SCSI chip Zeos offers? I
|
|
would like to get an idea of how it compares with SCSIcontrollers cards, if it works with Linux, and if it works with 1GB SCSI-2 drives, for instance
|
|
the Seagate Barracuda. Thanks for any information,
|
|
|
|
Peter Tieleman

It is possible to change your video mode via lilo.
|
|
|
|
Set the video mode to ASK.
|
|
|
|
Then press return when you reboot. You will be presented with a list of
|
|
modes available on your card.
|
|
|
|
You can set this permanently by using the number of the mode you use instead
|
|
of ASK in you lilo.conf.
|
|
|
|
I occasionally use 132x66 mode when Im using irc of tin - makes for better
|
|
usage of the screen. Im not sure if there is a way of changing this when
|
|
you have already started.
|
|
|
|
Perhaps someone else can provide an answer.

Im producing a small colouring util that will allow you to
|
|
add ansi colour escapes into your echo lines by doind things
|
|
such as echo "`lgreen`This is light green.`default`".
|
|
|
|
It should be ready by the end of this week (unless other things
|
|
get in the way.)

Try doing a ln -fs /dev/null /var/adm/szlog.

It worked here, but the downside is that you dont have any accounting
|
|
information returned. Anyone know what has changed in minicom/sz/rz
|
|
that this occured. It only occured as from the 2.01 Release of
|
|
Slackware.
