Hello , I've got the sources of gc31, alias pctools, once compiled
|
|
and run , the programs shows me a segmentation fault ( core dumped )
|
|
I've compiled it with gcc2.4.5 kernel99.12 libc4.4.1.
|

The program upon start draws the left winodows and then crashes.

Hello again...
|
|
|
|
I posted a query a little while bach about my Future Domain card
|
|
not being seen by Linux, and I sorted this last night thanks to
|
|
the pointers from Martin (you know who you are ! :-)
|
|
|
|
This leaves me with two outstanding questions. Now I've added the
|
|
latest TMC-950 ROM configuration to the file, it ought to be added
|
|
to the kernel distribution (after testing of course) - How do I
|
|
arrange this ?
|
|
|
|
Secondly - and more important to me, The Seagate SCSI disk I've attached
|
|
is not being detected at bootup. The screen reports 1 scsi hosts with
|
|
0 disks 0 tapes and 0 cds. The drive is a VERY old 300Mb ish device
|
|
which may be missing from a config. table somewhere. Clues please ?
|
|
|
|
Thanks,
|
|
|
|
Steve.

I have a problem (dont we all)
|
|
|
|
I am designing software on a Sun Sparc 2, in c and I am using cc to compile it.
|
|
It comilies fine in work, but when I take the source home and try to compile it
|
|
in Linux with gcc I get the following problems.
|
|
|
|
Im using gcc -ansi - traditional
|
|
|
|
In the following code, claimline is an array, s_time is type Double
|
|
|
|
if (claimline[i].tra_det.s_time != NULL)
|
|
|
|
On the sun I can compile this code and the process of checking a double for NULL works
|
|
fine. But in Linux using gcc I get an incompatable data type error.
|
|
|
|
I know that I could just write
|
|
|
|
if (claimline[i].tra_det.s_time != 0.0)
|
|
|
|
and this would work, but if possible I just want to tell gcc to ignore and allow these such statements.
|
|
|
|
Please can someone tell me how to get around this problem with gcc.
|
|
|

Thanks for the help. Paz

You have to use bootutils found in sunsite.unc.edu, read the README
|
|
carefully, don't forget to mount your filesystem read-only *AFTER* you
|
|
installed bootutils proberly (with rdev or, better, put 'read-only' in your
|
|
/etc/lilo/config and rerun lilo).
|
|
This problem dosn't apear in SLACKWARE, there are the bootutils properly
|
|
installed.

Hi, I hope somebody can help with a problem I have loading Linux.
|
|
I have been given a series of Linus disks but I can't even get the boot
|
|
disk to run. When I boot the computer from the disk, it checks for comms
|
|
and printer ports. It then checks the SCSI Bus and reports the
|
|
following:-
|
|
|
|
Future Domain: BIOS at ca0000; Port Base at 140 using IRQ 5
|
|
Future Domain: SCSI Bus Reset
|
|
Future Domain: IRQ 5 Requested from kernel
|
|
scsi0; Future Domain TMC-16x0
|
|
Future Domain TMC-16x0 scsi driver version 3.5
|
|
scsi: 1 hosts
|
|
scsi (Future Domain): Abort Phase=2; target = 0 comnd = 0x00 pieces = 0 size =
|
|
256
|
|
IMR = 0xdfd9
|
|
IRR = 0x0000
|
|
ISR = 0x0000
|
|
scsi Status = 1
|
|
TMC Status = 43
|
|
Interrupt Mask = 29
|
|
scsi (Future Domain): Abort Phase=2; target = 0 comnd = 0x00 pieces = 0 size =
|
|
256
|
|
IMR = 0xdfd9
|
|
IRR = 0x0000
|
|
ISR = 0x0000
|
|
scsi Status = 1
|
|
TMC Status = 43
|
|
Interrupt Mask = 29
|
|
|
|
At thios point the system hangs with the HD light permanently on but
|
|
there doesn't appear to be any disk or other activity.
|
|
|
|
On the SCSI bus I have 2 hard disks, a Toshiba CD-ROM drive and an
|
|
Archive Viper Taper Drive. Both access lights illuminate briefly when
|
|
the disk first runs but go out and don't come back on again.
|
|
The BIOS is by AMI and is dated 6/6/91.
|
|
|
|
I have been given two different boot disks (by the same person) and they
|
|
both stop at exactly the same place and the second disk was tested
|
|
before given to me to try.
|
|
|
|
Any clues or hints will be gratefully received.
|
|
Please reply direct as I don't receive this newsgroup regularly.

Well not exactly. As Howlin' Bob explained it to me that while EDIT uses
|
|
the normal BIOS keyboard driver for regular operations, it switches to
|
|
the INT 16 KB driver when it pops up a menu. Why? Nobody knows. Two ways
|
|
to get it to work:
|
|
|
|
1) Do the multiple keystrokes very quickly. That way it never gets to
|
|
the second driver.
|
|
2) Turn on the kbint option in the config file. However this is unstable
|
|
at last report.
|
|
|
|
I personally use a version of vi for DOS.

May not be an issue, (since I don't quite understand /proc)

however my fstab is:
|
|
|
|
/dev/sda1 / ext2 defaults
|
|
none /proc proc defaults
|

maybe it is because you are looking for device /proc while
|
|
mine is stated that there is no device, and just use the directory.
|
|
oh, and I am glad to see someone else use the ext2 filesystem
|

(and not the Linux extfs)

I like the results, and it hasn't crashed yet!

No. There is no support for Arcnet cards. Most likely never will be

you'd need t be on a TCP/IP network and not IPX.

Usually, /etc/securetty contains a list of all consoles that permit root login,
|
|
and by default it only contains the local console(s), I mean Alt-F1/.../F4, not
|
|
the virtual ones used when telnet-ing.
|
|
Insert ttyp0, ttyp1, ... an try again.

Hi, there
|
|
|
|
only a few words on the diffs between SQL and QUEL (from a theoretical
|
|
point of view :-):
|
|
|
|
-1- SQL's query parT is mainly based on the so-called
|
|
RELATIONAL ALGEBRA, a set
|
|
of operators manipulating the relational tables, loosely
|
|
speaking. This operator set is made up of the
|
|
|
|
- Projection (SQL: SELECT) "get only specified columns out of
|
|
the target table"
|
|
- Selection (SQL: WHERE) "select some lines (tuples) out of
|
|
the target table, matching a given predicate"
|
|
- Join (SQL: FROM/WHERE) "append the columns of two tables,
|
|
connect those tuples matching a given join
|
|
predicate" (called THETA-Join)
|
|
- Union (SQL: UNION) "do a set union on the tuples of two
|
|
target tables of certain uniform layout"
|
|
- Minus (SQL: ---) "do a set difference, like above"
|
|
- Rename (SQL: SELECT renaming) "rename the column names
|
|
of the target tables" (useful for Joins)
|
|
|
|
:-( SQL does not implement the full relational algebra!!!
|
|
|
|
-2- QUEL is based on the RELATIONAL CALCULUS, theoretically as
|
|
powerful as the ALGEBRA mentioned above. QUEL queries are made
|
|
up of a Projection and Selection part, giving you all and
|
|
m o r e oppurtunities than SQL!!! Not as readable as SQL's
|
|
|
|
SELECT
|
|
FROM
|
|
WHERE
|
|
|
|
blocks but more powerful. QUEL is the choice of the early
|
|
Ingres and Postgres implementors, overridden by SQL only for
|
|
marketing purposes.
|
|
|
|
So get INGRES/POSTGRES and do QUEL-querying... It's the right thing :-)

This definitely qualifies as a FAQ. I've answered this question 4 times
|
|
this week and twice today. Is this question in a FAQ list somewhere?
|
|
|
|
As a security measure root logins are only allowed on secure TTYS. The
|
|
entry for these is found in the file /etc/login.defs. The entry can be
|
|
a colon separated list of ttys or a file containing the list of ttys.
|
|
In most default set of secure ttys are limited to the virtual consoles.
|
|
Therefore you can't log in as root either via telnet or via a serial port.

Please Note: This is a FEATURE! It's good security not to be able to log
|
|
in as root from anywhere. Any time you really need root acces you can log in
|
|
as a normal user and su to root. Oftentimes this prevents malicious access
|
|
from intruders and su forces the superuser to remember he/she is now root
|
|
and that you can now cause major damage to you system. I'd advise folks
|
|
unless there is a really good reason to have outside root logins, just
|
|
leave them alone.

I have recently installed the latest SLS release of Linux on my PC.
|
|
I've hacked and hacked and can't get:
|
|
|
|
1. lpr to print anything. I can redirect files to /dev/lp1.
|
|
They get printed. I managed to change the ownerships and
|
|
permissions of lpc, lpd, and lpr. The daemon is around
|
|
as ps -x shows. But it doesn't seem to get files to
|
|
my printer. BTW lpq shows the jobs queued.
|
|
|
|
2. X Windows to do anything. I have the listed video card and
|
|
the 17" NEC 5FGe. Can someone running this configuration
|
|
send me some help (i.e. what I have to do to get this stuff
|
|
to work). Can I use the drivers that come with the system.
|
|
My understanding is that they don't take advantage of the
|
|
accelerator hardware. BTW when I do a startx, all I end
|
|
up with vertical lines and the cursor at the bottom of the
|
|
screen about 1/6th the way in.
|
|
|
|
Looking forward to any light which can be shed on this.
|
|
|
|
regards,
|
|
Tony.

Does the fourport support (AST fourport card) exist for the

kernel 099PL12? What are the right settings for the kernel?
|

Thanx for any hints.

hello - I've just finished modifying both the shadowed and non shadow
|
|
versions of ftpd-diku so that they use term calls to create data sockets.
|
|
Everything seems to work fine (except I havent implemented passive mode
|
|
connections yet - stnadby) so I thought I might send it out so I could
|
|
get some feedback. ftpd-term will allow your term box to have incoming
|
|
ftp connections.

README.term:
|
|
This package is a conglomeraton of ftpd-diku sources with
|
|
and also without the patches for shadowed passwords.
|
|
Both sources have been modified to use term calls rather
|
|
than inet calls to create data sockets, and as such should
|
|
allow you to enable incoming ftp connections via a tredir'd
|
|
link. The limitation being that ftpd-term cannot support
|
|
passive mode ftp connections, which basically means it wont
|
|
work for people using the termftp or ncftp-term clients wanting
|
|
to connect. This is a bit of a bummer, but really cant be
|
|
helped.
|
|
|
|
how?
|
|
|
|
firstly, decide wether you use shadowed passwords and
|
|
cp the appropriate Makefile.xxxx to Makefile
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have term's client.a and client.h somewhere
|
|
and that the directory where they reside is correctly
|
|
stated in the Makefile.
|
|
|
|
If you are using shadowed passwords, you also need one of
|
|
the shadow 3.2.2 object files 'valid.o' so make sure the
|
|
path to where that is, is also correctly stated in the
|
|
Makefile.
|
|
|
|
ok apart from these things, the setup is pretty much
|
|
exactly the same as for normal ftpd, so I shall leave
|
|
you to your own devices as far as setting up the package
|
|
goes..
|
|
|
|
how to enable via tredir?
|
|
|
|
remote% tredir {some-local-port} localhost:21
|
|
|
|
will pretty much have you setup & ready to go, and
|
|
someone can then telnet to your term machine by:
|
|
|
|
ftp remote.machine.name some-local-port
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** ANONYMOUS FTP
|
|
|
|
Because anonymous ftp does a chroot to the ftp users home directory,
|
|
some problems arise when ftpd-term tries to open the term socket and
|
|
cant find it due to the root being changed. To overcome this, do the
|
|
following..
|
|
|
|
work out where term puts its socket file ('socket' is the filename)
|
|
- usually in some users directory, possibly roots. eg:
|
|
/home/root/.term/socket
|
|
|
|
if the ftp account's home directory is /home/ftp
|
|
then we need to make a directory
|
|
/home/ftp/home/root/.term
|
|
where /home/ftp/home and /home/ftp/home/root are mode 710 (rwx--x---)
|
|
and whos ownership is root.{group of ftp user} (usually 'other')
|
|
|
|
then, *after* term is up and running, make a hardlink of the socket in the
|
|
new directory:
|
|
ln -f /home/root/.term/socket /home/ftp/home/root/.term/socket
|
|
|
|
and bob's yer uncle. (hopefully)
|
|
|
|
IF, however, bob isnt your uncle and things become hasslesome and you
|
|
cant work out what the hell Im blabbing on about, please feel free to
|
|
email me, or find me on irc (nick: Mcv) and have a yarn.
|
|
|
|
Comments/etc greatly appreciated.
