svgalib: mmap error in paged screen memory.

[satyap]~$ zgv svgalib: mmap error in paged screen memory. [satyap]~$ Why? Kernel 2.4.8. That's the only change. -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> To this day she declares that I told her one moving anecdote as to how a musket looked into my tent at the dead of night, and how I fired a double-barrelled tiger cub at it. --Watson, in "The Sign of the Four"

If ur using 802.11b the spec standards specify power limits I am not referring to 802.11b, except for the frequency range. We use the same frequencies (and we can ask for a wide enough range), but not the tech. Sorry about any confusion there.

Sorry my earlier prob was not defined properly So I am sending the error again. I guess my dial up connection died down when i tried previously. the actual problem sounds like this.................. 2 messages for goldwyn_r at pop.softhome.net (8132 octets). reading message 1 of 2 (3711 octets) .fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed fetchmail: can't raise the listener; falling back to $procmail -d %T..sh: -d: command not found fetchmail: MDA exited abnormally or returned nonzero status not flushed reading message 2 of 2 (4421 octets) ....sh: -d: command not found Please note that it works perfectly fine with a MUA(Mail User Agent) like KMail. howeevr I am not keen on doin gthis as there are quite a few people worin gon this system and i want mail of eveyone to be downloaded in one connection and distributed accordingly. Procmail is also installed. Another question. I am in bash shell why is it showing sh for errors?? Sorry for the trouble, and thanx again for the help. Goldwyn :o)

Philip had written a script to this effect. Try this one liner: /sbin/ifconfig|grep P-t-P|tr -s ' '|cut -f 4 -d ' '|tr -d adr: This is mostly from memory, so the paramter to cut may be wrong. To explain: /sbin/ifconfig -- get all network details grep P-t-P -- get the line containing the external ppp ip address tr -s ' ' -- convert all multiple space fields to a single space. cut -f 4 -d ' ' -- cut the fourth field using a delimiter of a space. (There is a space at the beginning, which you have to consider) tr -d adr: delete the addr: part of this field.

Either your link is slow or your mail server is down. I use poll mail.server with protocol pop3 timeout 1200 HTH Noel.

Using Two gateways
by noel seq 14 Sep '01

14 Sep '01

Hi luggers, Is it possible to use two gateways, one from a fixed ip provider (hathway) on my eth1 and the other from dial-up (vsnl) on my ppp0 (modem) Using hathway, i can browse better, but download of mails is painfully slow. Using vsnl dial-up, i am able download mails, but browsing is very slow. Moreover if i use vsnl for browsing, it slows my mail download. Right now i have to manually change the gateway (using linuxconf), and then connect to vsnl. After downloading the mails, i disconnect and switch to hathway. I tried man route to change the routing rules manually, but it does not work. route add gw 202.88.136.1 Nm 0.0.0.0 dev eth1 Suggestions please Noel.
