I've been slowly trying to get one thing working at a time since I installed
|
|
Linux on my PC several months ago. I am currently stuck on FTape. I have
|
|
a Conner 250MB tape drive. I have also just done a clean install of the
|
|
Slackware 2.0.0 distribution. The command 'mt -f /dev/ftape retension' works
|
|
fine, but to tar to the /dev/ftape device results in 'I/O error'. The Conner
|
|
manual suggests a jumper be removed from the drive for Unix operating systems
|
|
that has something to do with auto-positioning. This didn't make a difference.
|
|
Can anybody give me some hints as to why it's not working?

Here are several [Q's] I have.
|
|
|
|
1) I was using textedit to edit a file. I saved the file & got the
|
|
error message "Cannot save file: filesystem full". Or something
|
|
similar. This is fine, except for 2 things.
|
|
|
|
a) I have 120+MB free
|
|
b) The file was successfully saved anyway.
|
|
|
|
This happens anytime I save a file with textedit.
|
|
|
|
2) When I have any of the 2 filemanagers open I cannot save the workspace.
|
|
The problem is definately with the filemanager. I can save the workspace
|
|
when I don't have a filemanager running.
|
|
|
|
3) I cannot start rcp.statd. I get an error about a failed connection.
|
|
|
|
Help with any of these is greatly appreciated...

the shutdown messages will end up going to one of the VC's, probably

VC1. try Cntrl-Alt-1 right after you enter the shutdown command.

There is also a script, in /var/adm/scripts called gonzo. This script

will install the three users listed above, and thus should also be

|

One more small thing, the very useful utility, /usr/sbin/usermod

contains a VERY SERIOUS TRAP. When it is used to change a current

users login name, it sets his passwd to <null> so no passwd is needed.
|

Cops will find all these, but usermod probably should be fixed.

Has anybody used /etc/ppp/ip-up script?
|
|
|

I set one up, but it doesn't seem to be executing at all...
|
|
|
|
Is there a command line option for it?
|
|
|
|
In the man pages for pppd it sais that if an /etc/ppp/ip-up file exists, it
|
|
is executed as soon as the IP layer is available. I really need this
|
|
feature, cause I have to do some ifconfiging and routing that pppd itself
|
|
doesn't allow on the command line.
|
|
|

If ip-up doesn't work, is there another ellegant way to see if the IP is

setup (that is chat is finished with logging in etc.)?

You have to run a program to attach the two machines across the line. Did

amisetup and other programs that allow you to backup and tweak your BIOS

really do the trick, but consider this... If you have already set the

I've been using minicom to dialup our campus and have been getting

My mouse is a PS/2 type mouse...my modem is on COM3 IRQ 2, and that

|

It's also worth knowing that the ftp daemon changes it's root
|
|
to the ftp directory tree. This means that when ftpd uses
|
|
/bin/ls it gets translated by the system into ~ftp/bin/ls.
|
|
Also you must use hard links rather than softlinks if you want
|
|
to access a file that is outside the ftp directory tree.

well, as far as I know the point is, that a break at an v.24 is done
|

by setting the dataline for about 250 ms active. this behavior is an
|
|
property of the v.24 controling chip and can be activated by setting

an port to a sertain value.
|
|
though i dont know, i assume, that an io-ctl shuld be provided by the

driver or the programm via you access the v.24 shuld provide a hotkey

or the like.

You should get the source of ftape-1.13b on sunsite in /pub/Linux/...
|
|
and recompile it with the -DCONNER_BUG option enabled in Makefile.
|
|
But that doesn't work with the newest kernels. At me it works fine with 1.1.35

is there a free one available? my central point sofware has no option for
|
|
_just_ formatting a tape. silly.
|
|
ennyway, i had a dos formatted qic80 and used afio (via tbackup program)
|
|
to back up, & i kept getting I/O errors throughout. is this something
|
|
to worry about, or is this just a feature of the ftape drivers & afio?
|
|
|
|
thanx.

You can't blame it on me, either -- I only put it in rc.M. :^)
|
|
|

I've actually never had this problem of crond putting messages on the
|
|
console on my machine, and haven't seen it on any others, or I would
|
|
have fixed it. This solution does seem like it could be on the right
|
|
track, though, and I'd be interested in hearing if the people suffering
|
|
from this problem really did have two copies of crond running.
|
|
|
|
(I'll bet that would be *lots* of fun ;^)

Rubbish. 14.4kbps modems use the V32.bis protocol which permits data transfer
|
|
at 14,400 _uncompressed_; if you also turn on data compression (V42.bis), you
|
|
may achieve an effective transfer rate of 57600 kbps on compressible files.
|
|
The difference between V32 (9600 bps) and V32.bis (14400 bps) is *NOT* data
|
|
compression, but the number of channels (4 vs. 6) used to transmit data at
|
|
2400 baud. (4x2400 = 9600, 6x2400 = 14400).

Try upgrading the networking 'application' and 'system' level software.
|
|
Grab NetKit-A-0.xx.tar.gz and NetKit-B-0.xx.tar.gz from sunsite.unc.edu
|
|
They shoud be in the '/pub/Linux/system/Network/sunacm/...' directory,
|
|
or similar. Should fix a lot of problems.
