Mysterious Galeon Crashes
by Tahir Hashmi 14 Jun '02

14 Jun '02

Hi! Folks, it's not very frequently that one sees Galeon crash (> 1.0) Try opening this URL: http://thekompany.com/products/blackadder/ and Galeon will die without a whimper as soon as the page stops loading. If you add this page to your bookmarks (I use the XBEL format), Galeon dies as soon as you click on the Bookmarks button on the main toolbar! I'd like to know for sure whether this is an isolated case. However, do save your bookmarks if you are trying the crash on bookmarking also if you don't want to trawl the bookmarks.xbel file. --- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/tahir tahir AT ncst DOT ernet DOT in __________________________________ We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed _______________________________________________________ WIN a first class trip to Hawaii.

Nope, It does not. I opened the site and added it to my bookmark, no probs. I also use XBEL format for bookmark. There were few problems with galeon's stability few days back but now it is stable. I use Galeon 1.2.3 which uses Mozila 1.0 as renderer. I think, my problem got solved because of Debian's fantastic upgrade facility. It keeps upgrading and bug fixing ur system. You should look for an upgrade for ur Galeon. -Dharmesh

Dear Luggers, Hi�! I�ve some problems regarding FTP, Telnet ,ISDN and Accessing mails in Mutt Mail client, which are elaborated as under. I�ve installed RH Linux 7.2 on a machine. That machine is having the Local Area Network IP is = 192.168.0.1 Now from the machine having IP 192.168.0.2 I wants to Telnet the Linux machine, but it shows me an error �The remote host refused connection.� The same case is there in FTP. So n e body suggest me step by step configuration for accessing Telnet / FTP to Linux machine from my Windows PC.�? I m having mail account with VSNL. And I wants to access my mails of VSNL POP3 account in to the Linux Mail client like Mutt. So, how do I access it in Mutt/Pine etc�..? Apart from there n e body have the Idea to configure multiple POP3 as well as multiple SMTP servers like wat my friends were doing in MS-Outlook Express. Is there any mail client which allows the facility like MS-OE�.? My friend is installed RH Linux 7.2 just last week. He is having ISDN connection for Internet as an alternative to his Cable Internet. So, how can he b able to configure his ISDN Connection on Linux system�.? Plz. Suggest step by step configuration. Is thr n e body who can burn the CDs of FreeBSD for me�? I m also ready to pay the cost of the CDs. So, plz. Contact me Off the List for that matter. Lots of thanx to all Lugger Friends. Happy Linuxing.

debian mirrors

Hi, I had posted a mail earlier saying that I found it very difficult to run "apt-get update" ... it turns out that the default debian sites have become extremely slow to access from IIT. Now that I switched to the Australian mirror (arbit decision) everything is fine. Has anybody tried using netselect to see which is the best mirror to use from India? I can't do that from IIT since ping packets can't go out ...

Linux Sucks?

Hi Luggers, here is something to laugh about.... http://www.linuxsucks.com Check out the Linux vs. Windows NT link. Enlightening ;) However SOME points written about GNU/Linux cannot be ignored. Like limited hardware support (I myself am a victim of SiS6215) and lack of multithreaded kernel on GNU/Linux (this prevented us from porting our software from Solaris to Linux). Nevertheless site is worth a look-laugh and ignore... ===== rgds, Aditya N. ---------------------- Junior Research Fellow, Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Powai, Mumbai, 400076. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Connecting to Dishnet DSL
by Himanshu Shukla 02 Jun '02

02 Jun '02

Hi, I have been trying to get Dishnet DSL working on my Mandrake 8.2 machine. This is a USB modem supplied by Dishnet in Mumbai, and is probably a Conexant-make (as is seen in Windows). When I plug this in Linux, the power light does turn on, as in all USB devices, and on running `usbview' I can see it listed as "USB ADSL modem". But my problem is how do I connect to the net? Is there any tool available, like wvdial, that allows ADSL connections, through USB modems? If not, what are the scripts for ppp? Any specific parameters for Dishnet? Any pointers to the same will prove extremely useful. Thanks, --------- Regards, Himanshu

NIC drivers. for Debian
by Q u a s i 30 May '02

30 May '02

Friends, As I did not find anyone to lend me the latest Debian CD's :D, I had to look for alternatives. I convinced a acquaintance (who has a 128kbps line in his office) to allow me to do a all night online install. I went along and then there was this problem. His card is a Dlink dfe-538tx and there was no driver for it. (I have Debian 2.2 rel 2 CD's). A quick search on the net told me that the chipset on that card is a rtl8139 one. I tried the install again and there was a driver for this, but it 'failed' to load. Another quick search on the net told me that this is a problem with the driver which comes with the 2.2.18pre21 kernel. They gave a .c driver file and asked to compile and load it. But the compilation failed as it said that the file was written for gcc 2.7 while I had 2.95. Now I cannot update till I have access to the net. I will not have access till the network card works. What shall I do? Can anyone send me a newer version of the rtl8139 driver which I can load in the 'load extra drivers from floppy' phase? It should also work with my current kernel... Or any other solution...? thanks, quasi

Mindrome is not a Red Hat training partner
by Shankar Iyer 28 May '02

Dear Mr. Wadhwa, Mindrome had signed with Red Hat as a training partner, they were never an RHCE center for exam. Red Hat has no association with them since they had not completed the agreement with Red Hat, and had closed the Mindrome training centre even before commencement.

> it gives permission denied error. Whats wrong? Isn't the script suid > to root? Why isn't 'mkdir' getting root privilege? Scripts can't be "suid"ed. The effective UID used will be that of the program used to execute the script (sh/bash/python/perl etc). SUID only works with binaries, i.e. stuff that is executed directly, not using an external interpreter.

partitioning
by Q u a s i 25 May '02

Hello folks, I (finally) acquired a 40Gb HDD. I have partitioned it as follows :- primary - 2Gb - fat32 - /dev/hda1 extended - rest logical - 1.3Gb - Linux /dev/hda5 - 4Gb - fat32 /dev/hda6 - 9Gb - fat32 /dev/hda7 - 9Gb - fat32 /dev/hda8 - rest - fat32 /dev/hda9 I my haste and excitement I did not create a swap partition for Linux. Can I *delete* (using linux fdisk) the /dev/hda5 partition and split it into 2 without harm to the rest of the partitions? I think we can do it as the linux fdisk allows a lot of control, but I would just like to be certain about side-effects. :D Or can I use a swap _file_ instead of a partition? Or is a partition recommended? I would have experimented, but I already lost a lot of data in my last HDD crash and now I do not have a backup HDD. thanks, quasi

Alix - The original name for GNU kernel
by Pankaj Jangid 17 May '02

17 May '02

Hi All, I came across this paragraph while reading about "The GNU Project". These words are written by "Richard M. Stallman" Alix The GNU kernel was not originally supposed to be called the HURD. Its original name was Alix--named after the woman who was my sweetheart at the time. She, a Unix system administrator, had pointed out how her name would fit a common naming pattern for Unix system versions; as a joke, she told her friends, "Someone should name a kernel after me." I said nothing, but decided to surprise her with a kernel named Alix. It did not stay that way. Michael Bushnell (now Thomas), the main developer of the kernel, preferred the name HURD, and redefined Alix to refer to a certain part of the kernel--the part that would trap system calls and handle them by sending messages to HURD servers. Ultimately, Alix and I broke up, and she changed her name; independently, the HURD design was changed so that the C library would send messages directly to servers, and this made the Alix component disappear from the design. But before these things happened, a friend of hers came across the name Alix in the HURD source code, and mentioned the name to her. So the name did its job. -- Pankaj Jangid NCST, India

This is pretty basic. But yeah... the moment you want to do something that's not "inside" tomcat, you'd want to use Native Methods. For this you will have to code on the platform on which you are coding. For example if your external program/method is on Linux, you'd use CPP or C on Linux; if its on Windows, something equivalent. Lets hope things are not much ambiguous now. The question I replied to before had me stumped with ambiguousness. The answer is wrong nevertheless. This one sets things right.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] how to run Tom Cat Server on Linux?
by Amish Mehta 16 May '02

Hints: 1) install tomcat on linux.(JRE required) 2) by default it listens to port 8080, if u disabled it then re-enable it. search for server.xml file, in tomcat directory. Amish. P.S. Apache(port 80) can also serv JSP pages through a module. You will have to modify httpd.conf for that. MALHAR PUJAR wrote: >using JWSDP.
