The problem is properly that you dont have a /etc/dosemu.users file, specifying
|
|
who is allowed access to the Dosemu. The format is simple - just one line
|
|
per user login id who is allowed access.

I have got the kernel 1.00 running and the chance to get an Future Domain
|
|
SCSI-1 All in One plus (with TMC-950) or a SCSI-2 All in One (with TMC-1800)
|
|
quite cheap. Now I wonder if anyone has got any experience with one of them
|
|
- most important if they are supported or not (the doc is not fully clear -
|
|
it says "Seagate .../Future Domain ... TMC-950" with some problems, "Future
|
|
Domain 16x0 with TMC-1800" - I don't know if the SCSI-2 board is compatible
|
|
with any 16x0 board).
|
|
|

Sorry if this question was treated here already - I've just joined the group

Please do not post questions to comp.os.linux.misc - read on for details of
|
|
which groups you should read and post to.
|
|
|
|
Please do not crosspost anything between different groups of the comp.os.linux
|
|
hierarchy. See Matt Welsh's introduction to the hierarchy, posted biweekly to
|
|
comp.os.linux.announce.
|
|
|
|
If you have a question about Linux you should get and read the Linux Frequently
|
|
Asked Questions with Answers list from sunsite.unc.edu, in /pub/Linux/docs, or
|
|
from another Linux FTP site. It is also posted periodically to c.o.l.announce.
|
|
|
|
In particular, read the question `You still haven't answered my question!'
|
|
The FAQ will refer you to the Linux HOWTOs (more detailed descriptions of
|
|
particular topics) found in the HOWTO directory in the same place.
|
|
|
|
Then you should consider posting to comp.os.linux.help - not

comp.os.linux.misc.
|

|
|
Note that X Windows related questions should go to comp.windows.x.i386unix, and

that non-Linux-specific Unix questions should go to comp.unix.questions.
|
|
Please read the FAQs for these groups before posting - look on rtfm.mit.edu in
|
|
/pub/usenet/news.answers/Intel-Unix-X-faq and .../unix-faq.
|
|
|
|
Only if you have a posting that is not more appropriate for one of the other
|
|
Linux groups - ie it is not a question, not a contribution to the development
|

of Linux, not an announcement or bug report and not about system administration
|

- should you post to comp.os.linux.misc.

Well, just to set the record straighter, as someone with the same

|
compialtion who is running fine. His problems are problems with his
|
|
setup, understanding, or expectations. Although he really didn't give
|
|
enough info for me to even TRy to diasgnose fully, quite a few of his
|
|
problems seemed to fall into the same calss as the xmodem one-- lack of
|
|
understanding rather then lack of system performance... (And over it all
|
|
was a VERY conentious attitude, almost like he wanted it to fail. In my
|
|
experience, my machine always works better when I try to understand it...
|
|
kinda like people...)

Unfortunately, for those of us who don't have Motif, the

compiled binary on sunsite is version 3.0, and it's a mess. It

crashes so often it's unusable. Would some kind soul who has compiled

3.1 with Motif please upload a statically linked version to sunsite?

They may need new solutions, but they don't need a bunch of

users who are too confused by their dumb-terminal/Linux to get any

I ask you again... since you stated that the main thing

they'll be doing is word processing, WHAT WORD PROCESSOR ARE YOU GOING
|

TO USE UNDER LINUX on these dumb terminals?
|
|
|

And, I think you're going to have to use X-Terminals, not dumb

terminals. Have you checked out the price of X-Terminals? They ain't

cheap, guy. And these days, low-end Macs are available to educational

I am sorry but what is wrong with using the iBCS module and running SCO

wordperfect. In fact iBCS currently allows linux to run binaries from

lots of other intel unices with work on *BSD being made as we speak.

Linux doesn't need a WP of its own when it can be used as a base to run

Installation was also easy. You only have to enter the following

Surely I have changed cua to ttyS when I was using both programs...

To solve this problem I've watched the permissions and noticed, that

They don't seem to have a Linux version of Netscape (mozilla!!) at

Not directly, latest available patch (although I can't find where I

that to work on 1.1.54 , at least we have on mechnix.me.liv.ac.uk

(compiled without errors, not tested yet due to 'us' being 100 miles

running fine).

The one we got for 2.0.0 was only a patch against 1.1.21, not
|
|
good... (then again the kernel srcs with 2.0.0 are for 1.1.18 *boggle*)

You can get a single for $300 and at school we used to run the single on
|
|
multiple machines all the time. No idea why. I personally think
|
|
floating licenses are a ripoff. I know people with more than one
|
|
machine at home and it's stupid for them to not be able to log into
|
|
either of them and run a program.
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I know all about loss of sales but I think most of that is BS.

Subject: Lynx+term blocks modem
|
|
Date: 16 Oct 1994 20:01:45 GMT
|
|
|
|
Hi all
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am running Term 2.1.4 on 1.1.54 kernel.
|
|
My problem is this :
|
|
When I use Lynx (downloaded from sunsite) with term and the
|
|
host I connect to is unavailable, the modem line is blocked and no
|
|
transfer takes place for a few minutes. Term.log just says there are
|
|
timeout errors. The point is that if a host is available and accepting
|
|
connections
|
|
there is no problem. Usually after the modem restarts, I can only use
|
|
about 1/2 of bandwidth ,eg if doing tdownload of about 200cps, but
|
|
after running lynx and connecting host is not responding (eg ftp to
|
|
sunsite) tdownload continues with about 100cps and this can also be seen
|
|
on tmon with graph 1/2 previous size.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I tried recompiling term with no success. (lynx is binary on sunsite)
|
|
|
|
I would appreciate it if somebody could help.
|
|
PS: If you need more info, email me at
|
|
starmage@aztec.co.za
|
|
|
|
Thanx
|
|
Andre

And the VLB. At 50Mhz, you can only have 1 slot, ne?

Subject: PAS16 Problems Part II

|
|
|
|
Thanks for all the comments from other people ..
|
|
|
|
umm the problem is still there, but I have isolated the problem.
|
|
|
|
1. The PAS-16 SCSI interface seems to work.
|
|
2. When I plug in the CD-ROM to the PAS, it tries to workk with
|
|
the CDROM but ends up just sitting in :
|
|
|
|
Detected SCSI CD-ROM sr0 @ scsi0, id1, lun 0
|
|
scsi0: reseting for second half of retries.
|
|
|
|
This is where it hangs... Anybody else have this problem ?
|
|
|
|
I have tried 2 versions of the PAS16.. 650-0044-06H and 650-0097-05D.
|
|
Both exhibit the same problem.
|
|
|
|
I tried talking to mediavision but they (as I expected) didn't
|
|
know anything about Linux and the PAS16.
|
|
|
|
Thanks in advance

Well, it turn out that the new kernel can't handle the IRQ setting
|
|
that I had for the old (1.0.8) kernel. There was an error message
|
|
during the bootup process and I didn't notice it before since it pass
|
|
by pretty fast. Anyway, all I had to do was reassign my IRQ to a different
|
|
unused one and that was that. By the way, my controller card is the
|
|
Ultrastor 34FA. The IRQ that was giving me problem was IRQ10.
|
|
Now if I can only get my Stealth Pro to go 16 bit color depth. Any
|
|
hints?
