Or you can pop dslip201.tgz from sunsite.unc.edu in

Subject: Termina Hanging Problem
|
||
Date: Thu, 1 Sep 1994 01:14:53 -0400
|
||
|
||
I need help. I have running Linux 1.1.28 w/ slip.
|
||
|
||
My terminal - xterm - hangs at seemingly almost random times. It
|
||
generally only happens when I'm inputting characters into the terminal
|
||
window. It looks as though no more input is being accepted and output
|
||
stops being displayed.
|
||
|
||
Doing a netstat I got Recv-Q to be some 700 and Send-Q to be 0.
|
||
|
||
It seems as though bytes are being buffered by the socket, but the
|
||
data isn't being read from the socket. It also looked like data was
|
||
still being sent because Send-Q was 0. I then typed ls then did
|
||
another netstat.
|
||
|
||
I got Recv-Q to be some 900 and Send-Q to be 0.
|
||
|
||
It seems as though ls was executed by the remote machine and the
|
||
result was received by my local machine and being queued in the
|
||
buffer. However, the display on my terminal window did not change - no
|
||
"ls" nor any result of ls.
|
||
|
||
Any help to solve this problem will be greatly appreciated.

|

The crond in rc.M should only be started if you haven't installed TCP/IP.
|
||
So it's strange that you have two cronds running.
|
||
BTW my workaround is to change the entry in rc.inet2 to this:
|
||
${net}/crond -l0 -d0 >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &
|
||
I know that is bad but I got rid of the annoying messages.

This typical problem seems to be caused by one of two things:
|
||
|
||
1: dip needs to be setuid to root,
|
||
|
||
2: make sure dip is compiled with the right path for route and ifconfig.

Well, be careful when hitting the RESET button. I had linux on a UMSDOS
|
||
partition on a 100MB drive. I started X, and the disk kept accessing &
|
||
just wouldn't stop. In a panic, I hit RESET. What I heard was the worst sound
|
||
you would ever want to hear from a computer disk. As the disk was a couple
|
||
of years old, I took it apart. The mechanism that moved the heads back & forth
|
||
across the disk was physicaly broken. I think a better solution would have
|
||
been to turn the power off. Then back on after the disk stops spinning.
|
||
|
||
BTW, I learned from my experience. Linux is now very happy on a 340MB
|
||
drive with Linux swap & Linux native partitions. The speed difference
|
||
of Linux on Linux native partition vs on UMSDOS partitions is very big.
|
||
With the UMSDOS partitioned version of Linux it would take 60 minutes
|
||
to compile the kernel. With Linux partitions, the same Kernel compiles
|
||
in 15-20 minutes.
|
||
|
||
Hardware config:
|
||
|

Salckware 2.0

So is Pascal, actually. There is a Pascal-to-C translator called p2c
|
||
somewhere on sunsite, and I think there is an alpha version of gpc
|
||
(GNU Pascal).

I have an early ALPHA version of The System Manager on sunsite.unc.edu, in
|
||
/pub/Linux/ALPHA/sysman. Development is continuing, although a new release
|
||
is unlikely for a while.

You don't need to recompile anything. The easiest way is to delete the
|
||
binaries for hostname and domainname and reinstall those from the Slackware v2
|
||
distribution. It is just a case where if installing over the top of an old
|
||
installation where hostname and domainname share the same executable, you are
|
||
actually only effectively installing one of the new executables (due to over-
|
||
writing).
|
||
|
||
There have been anumber of fixes that suggest re-compiling from source!! You
|
||
could get the same problems if you don't remove the original linked binaries!

Are you sure it is related.. ?
|
||
Sometimes, my machine reboots at night, this is often due to power failures...

i think i know what the "failed" is from.
|
||
i had it as well until i fixed the setting for my Adaptec SCSI. check the SCSI FAQ. it's
|
||
not the simplest thing to read--but hey, it's a document for running UNIX :) anyway, there
|
||
are some notes about adding command line parameters to LILO. when i fixed that, the CD-ROM
|
||
worked and "failed" went away, to be replaced by information concerning the CD-ROM hookup.
|
||
|
||
hope that helps.
