Uuuuh. Sounds like you're losing a *lot* data.

|
|
|
|
Well, are you sure that mgetty 0.13 is running? In older versions, this
|
|
was common (well... that's what you get if you use unbuffered one-byte
|
|
read()s for ease of implementing), but in 0.13 the fax reception stuff
|
|
has been changed to use buffered read()s.
|
|
|
|
With the old unbuffered reads, it was very likely that data is lost, but
|
|
with 0.13, I have tried receiving a five-page fax while the system load
|
|
was at 5 (!) - and no lost any data at all (on a 386/40).
|
|
|
|
Does your port use a 16550? Which port speed do you use for fax
|
|
reception?
|
|
|
|
>I seem to have noticed that even during
|
|
>the fax receive, OPOST and OCRNL are active; is it quite OK?
|
|
|
|
That will not do any harm, since only the direction *to* the modem is
|
|
postprocessed by the serial driver.
|
|
|
|
One problem *may* be that you use a fairly old linux version, I think in
|
|
the serial driver had been a lot changes since then, improving reliability
|
|
at high speeds.

I have finally set up SLS 1.03 on my machine with Ultrastor 34F after
|
|
recompiling the kernel w/o soundcard support. Now I have some other
|
|
questions.
|
|
|
|
1. I can't seems to start a printer daemon. If in lpc I try:
|
|
|
|
lpc> start lp
|
|
lp:
|
|
printing enabled
|
|
lpc: connect: No such file or directory
|
|
couldn't start daemon
|
|
lpc>
|
|
|
|
What did I need to set up? I've created a dir /usr/spool/lp1,
|
|
which was listed on the printcap file.
|
|
|
|
2. Running X with my Cirrus logic card and it freezes the system after
|
|
logging in and out with xdm couple (mostly like the second) time.
|
|
|
|
3. Always get error message while starting up during rc.net.
|
|
Something about invalid syntax, etc.
|
|
I have a standalone machine, but I want to be able to telnet back
|
|
to my own machine. Telneting to localhost work. But telnet to
|
|
'machine name' conplain about network unreachable.
|

Does Linux support any display controllers in the 1280 x 1024

you don't actually need to save the WHOLE partition. there are a
|
|
number of DOS utilities that can tell you where the start of the
|
|
data is on a partition. save all of the sectors up to that one,
|
|
and that one also. (for example: I had a setup where the fat took
|
|
the first 23 sectors, so I saved 24, using
|
|
dd if=/dev/hda4 of=/etc/dos.swp bs=512 count=24
|
|
and
|
|
dd if=/dev/hda4 of=/etc/linux.swp bs=512 count=24
|
|
|
|
of course, the first dd was done after setting up the windoze
|
|
swap file, the second, after running "mkswap" on the
|
|
partition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
>/bin/mkswap /dev/hda4 5967
|
|
|
|
becuase I also saved the first set of sectors when the partition
|
|
was set up for linux, I restore with
|
|
|
|
dd of=/dev/hda4 if=/etc/linux.swp bs=512 count=24
|
|
instead. faster than mkswap

I did something similar, then realized that, if using the sysvinit
|
|
package, I was being silly. If I had to do it again (different
|
|
setup now, don't do stuff like above currently), I'd just modify
|
|
/etc/brc to look something like:
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
PATH=/bin:/etc
|
|
export PATH
|
|
|
|
dd if=/etc/dos.swp of=/dev/hda4 count=24 bs=512
|
|
|
|
echo Unmount filesystems...
|
|
umount -a
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
NOTE: the "count=24" was for a PARTICULAR situation. try using
|
|
norton disk editor, or a share/freeware program called "fat", or
|
|
something similar to figuire out what the number for your system
|
|
should be.

hi...
|
|
first of all, thanks to everyone who helped me with the swap-disk prob.
|
|
|
|
here goes another FAQ question(?)
|
|
I couldn't find this in the FAQ.
|
|
|
|
I keep getting this message during boot time.
|
|
|
|
EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked file system, running e2fsck is recommended
|
|
[EXT II FS 0.3c, 93/08/05, bs=1024, fs=1024, gc=17, bpg=8192, ipg=1592}
|
|
|
|
I ran e2fsck several times but...
|
|
I am still getting this message...
|
|
what's the problem?
|
|
is this normal? and do I have to run 'e2fsck' every time I boot Linux?
|
|
any comments are welcomed.

Thanks..

Subject: strange unix socket behaviour (term gurus read too pls)
|
|
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1993 05:42:34 GMT
|
|
|
|
Hello - I just set up the alpha 13 kernel to see if it would
|
|
fix up my unix socket weirdness, and it does - but only for a while?
|
|
|
|
just after a reboot I can 'netstat -x' and see the status of all the
|
|
af_unix connections, however, eventually (after running some term clients
|
|
usually) doing a 'netstat -x' produces a segmentation fault and a register
|
|
dump. The seg fault happens in unix_get_info (from memory).
|
|
|
|
The reason Im concerned is that Im trying to modify the ftpd-diku
|
|
sources to work over a term connection. It works fine, except that
|
|
exenually (sooner or later) the 'connect' system call in terms
|
|
'open_unix' function catches a SIGCHLD, gets interrupted and the
|
|
program segfaults. Under pl13 it takes lonmger for this to happen,
|
|
but it still does.
|
|
|
|
ok heres a little scenario for you:
|
|
before: netstat -x works fine
|
|
from remote I ftp into my tredired box
|
|
do a few dirs, then after about 5 or 6 -"425 remote server has closed connection"
|
|
|
|
debugging output from ftpd:
|
|
socket(PF_UNIX, STREAM, 0) = 13
|
|
connect(13, AF_UNIX(//.term/socket), 16) = -1 (Interrupted system call)
|
|
- [SIGCHLD]
|
|
write(12, "connect 4 Interrupted system cal".., 34) = 34
|
|
close(13) = 0
|
|
- [SIGSEGV]
|
|
+ [SIGSEGV]
|
|
|
|
result from netstat -x now
|
|
ahh.. well it erm still works at the moment ... hmm
|
|
|
|
ANYHOW - does anyone have any ideas what the SIGCHLD is doing and why it
|
|
causes that bit of code to seg fault?
|
|
also - if I put a loop around the connect, so that if it fails, it tries again,
|
|
it just loops indefinately, trying.
|
|
|
|
any help that anyone has to offer is muchly appreciated...

Don't do this! All you need to do is to include CLOCAL in your gettydefs.
|
|
This turns off the carrier detect and hangups in software. Much easier -
|
|
and it works for other Unices too.

Try using 'openwin' to start OpenWindows, not 'startx'.

This script tries to execute ~/.openwin-init.

Enter a number, or a Maxima list of numbers, all or none:0;
|
|
|
|
LIMIT(exp, var, val, dir) finds the limit of exp as the real variable
|
|
var approaches the value val from the direction dir. Dir may have the
|
|
value PLUS for a limit from above, MINUS for a limit from below, or
|
|
may be omitted (implying a two-sided limit is to be computed). For
|
|
the method see Wang, P., "Evaluation of Definite Integrals by Symbolic
|
|
Manipulation" - Ph.D. Thesis - MAC TR-92 October 1971. LIMIT uses the
|
|
following special symbols: INF (positive infinity) and MINF (negative
|
|
infinity). On output it may also use UND (undefined), IND (indefinite
|
|
but bounded) and INFINITY (complex infinity).
|
|
LHOSPITALLIM[4] is the maximum number of times L'Hospital's rule
|
|
is used in LIMIT. This prevents infinite looping in cases like
|
|
LIMIT(COT(X)/CSC(X),X,0).
|
|
TLIMSWITCH[FALSE] when true will cause the limit package to use
|
|
Taylor series when possible.
|
|
LIMSUBST[FALSE] prevents LIMIT from attempting substitutions on
|
|
unknown forms. This is to avoid bugs like LIMIT(F(N)/F(N+1),N,INF);
|
|
giving 1. Setting LIMSUBST to TRUE will allow such substitutions.
|
|
--More--
|
|
Since LIMIT is often called upon to simplify constant expressions,
|
|
for example, INF-1, LIMIT may be used in such cases with only one
|
|
argument, e.g. LIMIT(INF-1);
|
|
Do EXAMPLE(LIMIT); for examples.
|
|
|
|
(D7) DONE
|
|
(C8) limit(sin(x)/x,x,0);
|
|
|
|
(D8) 1

|
This even shows how you can get on-line help, using describe();.
|
|
|
|
This is not as small a program as you might be looking for, but it sure
|
|
does what you need, and you can figure out how to use it reasonably
|
|
easily.

For graphics, use gnuplot.

Uhh... I've ported GNU utilities to System III (HP-UX 2.1 actually),
|
|
and it wasn't that difficult.

Getting back on topic here, I was actually hoping for a Refridgerator
|
|
emulator for Linux. It would be greate to not have to get up from the
|
|
computer in order get a snack and having somewhere stick old software
|
|
projects so the stay nice and fresh would be nice. Just think of the
|
|
possibilities if you could use it over a network!

Get POSTGRES, a relational active database management system. it WORKS!

Subject: how many Linux installs?
|
|
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1993 08:33:13 GMT
|
|
|

|
|
I work for a hardware and systems company. We have an
|
|
Interoperability Lab where they install our products on
|
|
the OSes our customers run, test our drivers, run
|
|
benchmarks, etc.
|
|
|
|
I want the Lab to install Linux and check it out. But
|
|
I can't make a business case for doing it without knowing
|
|
how big the Linux market is. (All of Unix is only about
|
|
5% of our market.) How many people run Linux,
|
|
on how many machines? If you think you know or have a way to
|
|
measure, I'd like to hear from you. Thanks.
|
|
|
|
(BTW, I got my dial-up logins working by switching from
|
|
bash to pdksh. Don't know why bash doesn't like my modem,
|
|
but I like ksh better anyway, and my users don't care.
|
|
Thanks to everyone who offered advice!)
