Re: spurious error

Sometime on Jan 29, Satish Alwani assembled some asciibets to say: > When i do major transfers to this box, the machine ends up hanging. > > Average transfer speeds in excess of 7000K or even higher than 10,000K at > times. Your hang has nothing to do with the spurious IRQ7. IRQ7 is the parallel port interrupt, and it generally means that the interrupt was generated, but no one sent it. This can happen for example if you have some static near the parallel port pins. What network card do you have? Philip -- Beer -- it's not just for breakfast anymore.

I'am sorry if my explanation is completely illogical...but this is what I figured out ........pls inform me if my notion is completely wrong..... In a system like Windoze ---->DLL--->EXE (RAM)---->Compiled but no check for size of compiled output. In GNU/Linux OS ---->object/.so----->binary/daemon(RAM)---->Compiled and checked for size of compiled o/p. And as for shell scripts, and rpm's which we blindly execute sometimes........pls do a md5 verification to check for trusted signatures........ So it's 98% safe to open mails on a linux system than any other system........these days a lots of executable stuff on the prowl..... bothered abt bugs in the system......well the community is so alert that you'll definitely know abt it before the hacker knows it......... hope this leads us somewhere, bijucyborg >>.On a sidenote : Guys what do think abt Bill gates getting knighthood for >>Services to global enterprise<<< __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Why do Viruses not infect GNU/Linux PCs?
by Amish Mehta 29 Jan '04

29 Jan '04

Because GNU/Linux systems are not written by MS guys who simply execute any file just because it pretended its content-type to be an audio file. In my opinion MS always had policy to make system more user-friendly(trying to auto-play a sound file for user) at cost of security(and executing exe instead). This bug and so many other bugs are so obvious(assuming MS has good developers!) that sometimes I feel they are kept on purpose, so that they can ask user to upgrade to their new OS/apps claiming to be MORE safe.

Viruses and Market Dominance - Myth or Fact? ============================================ An article at The Register, authored by Scott Granneman of SecurityFocus, examines the conventional wisdom that if Linux or Mac OS X were as popular as Windows, there would be just as many viruses written for those platforms. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/56/33226.html Mr. Granneman bluntly says this is wrong, then proceeds to detail the fundamental differences between those OS's and Windows which make Windows an easy and inviting target for virus-writers, as opposed to the Unix-based platforms.

by linuxdev 26 Jan '04

[snip] Dont put an end to this thread. Perhaps someone can summarise the points you have made. They are very valid. a. Increase Swap b. Stop services that are not required c. Get More RAM (since lower ram = more swap file usage = slower / inefficient performance) d. Recomend use of less resource hungary software (galeon instead of mozilla) e. Do not fully shut off software that you are going to use again and again (eg, minimise mozilla instead of closing it when you finish looking at a webpage) An additional point I guess we can also make here is that in MS Windows XP also, most software takes time to open. Outlook express takes more than 20 seconds (and massive HDD Access) to open and MSOffice XP is much worse. We can not compare a PC running Win98 to RedHat9. That comparison does not make sense. [snip] Talking of the preloader of mozilla in Windows, can we have a *generalized* pre-loader in linux ?? I would say it wouldn't be too difficult to write a daemon that preloads stuff and keeps general statistics as to which executable/library is used the most. This would increase the booting time by little but the net result should be quite surprising in my opinion. IE starts so fast in windows is because just about everything that it requires is preloaded when windows boots. On the other hand most of the stuff that mozilla needs is loaded when it is started. Taking up the proj. anyone ? I might do so, but let me know if it would really make a difference.

hi, i am running rh9.0 in runlevel 5. kde is the default window manager. many times during boot, the graphics are not loaded. the services turn on, after which the text prompt is shown. the next step is to get a graphical login. but often the graphics get scrambled. i get a few vertical lines flashing like in X configuration and then need to reboot. but mostly gui mode starts up without any errors with proper colors, mouse etc. why does X not load sometimes? i have an onboard intel extreme graphics card on an intel 845 gbv motherboard. as i mentioned earlier mostly X and kde run smoothly. thanks rahul

Your problem seems not to be a generally observed phenomenon. man! i am not complaining about the hdd access my system does.... mine is a RHL8.0 on a P3-933 mhz, with 128MB SD RAM, the hard disk also runs at 5400 something RPM... swap alloted is half GB, i've seen hdd access right from the days i had RHL6.0, then 7.1 and now 8.0... I've always chosen to do a full installation off the CDs, just to taste everything that's inside... Agreed i have many services running, I just turn it on to work with it... telnetting into smtp/ftp/telnet servers... I think the people here are comparing the hdd access of M$ windows with gnu/linux... Windows loads all the configuration settings (Registry) into the RAM at startup, whereas gnu/linux apps have to read the config files the first time they start (am just speculating a reason)...also many services report their errors to the root's mailbox... These might be one of the many reasons of unexpected hdd access... Is my justification correct???

For setting the hostname, you could try using the 'hostname' command. I've tried this myself and it does'nt work. What I did in the end is set the '/etc/sysconfig/network' file to the new hostname And also the '/etc/hosts' file to the new hostname. After that you must reboot the computer and Voila, the comp has a new name :D Ravster _________________________________________________________________ Play the prediction game on MEZ.

Is there a 'free(dom)' variant of Knoppix?
by Rishi Gangoly 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

Hi I got to know that there are non-free applications bundled along with Knoppix CD. Does anyone know if there is a variant of Knoppix? I figured it would be easier to just download and use / distribute that instead of removing the non-free packages from the Knoppix CD and creating one myself. Apparently RMS told me a few days back that the 'vrms' tool does not guarantee the results to be 100% true since it purely depends on the deb package maintainer. http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/vrms.html Regards Rishi

[Announce] getmail.com 1.0
by Philip S Tellis 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

Announcing the release of version 1.0 of getmail.com http://sourceforge.net/projects/getmail-com/ Getmail.com downloads email from a mail.com account. It uses HTTP to log in to your account, get the inbox listing, and download messages along with attachments. Login name, password, and maximum message size can be specified through the interface or in the configuration file. It does not delete messages or look in folders other than Inbox. Caveats: The configuration file is called .gmcom.rc and is in your home directory. The program will prompt you to create it if it does not exist. The password is stored as plain text in the file, but the file's permissions are 0600 (-rw-------), so only you can read it. You may edit the file and delete any parameter from it. The program will either prompt you for it, or choose a default value (if it can). The file will be written only if it does not exist.

[Announce] libyahoo2 0.7.4 released
by Philip S Tellis 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

It's on sourceforge, so go download it. http://libyahoo2.sourceforge.net/ Changes: auth fixed ext_remove_handler takes two parameters - the tag returned by add_handler and the client_id. Also note that I've decided to stop releasing rpms. It made no sense since anyone using this library would have to build it as part of his own project anyway. Yes, it would be cool if it were distributed as a separate library, but I don't see that happening. Philip -- I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.

Do you need a swap at all? How much RAM do you have? The 2.4.x pre kernels might have had a logic for the swap = 2xRAM rule, but what now? Unless you are seriously short of RAM, and use a tonload of swap, there is no need to use a lot of swap. And if you really have that less RAM, then you should'ntbe complaining about "speed" issues. Also, for special purposes like suspend to disk/ACPI on laptops, you might have a case for swap = 2x ram. The installation howto was written when people used 4M-32M RAM, we've come a long way after that. Maybe the howto needs updation.

tcp util library
by Philip S Tellis 17 Jan '04

17 Jan '04

Is there an existing project to build a tcp util library? I mean one that will do the following: int tcp_connect(host, port); int tcp_connect_async(host, port, connect_callback, status_update_callback, callback_data); void tcp_connect_async_cancel(int id); int tcp_readline(fd, buff, maxlen); int tcp_writeline(fd, buff, nbytes); etc. I ask because if there isn't one already, I'd like to release ayttm's tcp library as a separate project that would be of use to others. I would also like to look at a separate library that does asynchronous dns lookups. It is important that none of these libraries use multiple threads, or any extra toolkit. It will have to be in vanilla C or C++. Philip -- Make input easy to prepare and output self-explanatory. - The Elements of Programming Style (Kernighan & Plaugher)

Anyone volunteering for WSF Event...
by suhas prabhu 08 Jan '04

08 Jan '04

HeLLo Linuxers, I am a bit surprised that there is no discussion on WSF to be held in Goregaon from 15-22 Jan. According to Mr. Nagarjun of FSF-India There is going to be place called media centre in the event where approx. 150 0r so PCs will be running on FLOSS. The PCs will be used by Reporters from all over the world to communicate,etc. This is a nice chance to show the power of OSS to Mumbaites and the common man. A mail asking for volunteers had been sent by Mr. Nagarjun to this mailing list. I am sure all have read it. I being interested quickly subscribed to their Temo mailing list Wsf-volunteers(a)mm.gnu.org.in but for some strange reason the mailing list responds that my email has been pending for Moderators Approval. Time is ticking away and so are my dreams of volunteering for the event. And no one is even mentioning about the event. Has anyone else tried to volunteer? I am sorry for the gloomy letter but I thought it should be better to discuss why this is happening. I would be greatful for any comments on this. Thanks, Suhas Yahoo!

Hi Guys This is what HP has to say about scanning software for one of their Scanners we happened to buy a few years back. :-( Anyone managed to find another option? Regards Rishi ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: hp scanjet 5470c e-mail support Date: Tuesday 06 Jan 2004 10:31 pm From: HP ScanJet E-mail Support <scanjet_support_en(a)mail.support.hp.com> To: Rishi Gangoly <rishi(a)theargoncompany.com> Dear Rishi, Thank you for contacting HP Total Care. According to your e-mail, you want information on how to obtain the scanning software compatible with Linux operating system from your HP Scanjet 5470c scanner. I would like to inform you that HP does not recommend that you install your scanner under the Linux Operating System, as it is not supported. Your scanner can be installed only under Windows operating system. Your scanner cannot work under a Linux based Operating System. Some HP scanners are supported using HP Backened for SANE and SCL commands in LInux. The HP Backened is present in SANE. Usually all HP scanners with a SCSI-interface support SCL. Some scanners with parallel port interface or USB are using SCL too. But most of the newer models with USB do not support SCL and thus are not supported by the hp backend. For more information about the supported scanners, please visit: http://www.kirchgessner.net/sanehpfaq.html Download the latest SANE 1.0.8 drivers for the scanners from: http://panda.mostang.com/sane/source.html For HP scanners and there SCL commands, please visit: http://www.kirchgessner.net/sane.html For more information on HP and SANE, please visit: http://www.mostang.com/sane/man/sane-hp.5.html Note: The URLs above will take you outside the HP Web site. HP does not control and is not responsible for information outside of the HP Web site. Though HP does not provide support for scanners on Linux, please contact: http:\\www.mostang.com for support with the SANE drivers for HP Scanjet scanners. Also, please click on the link given below to have more information about Linux support for HP scanners. http://www.hp.com/cposupport/scanners/support_doc/bps05180.html I hope the above information would have answered your question.

Try setting the -forcespeed option instead of speed. By default cdrecord picks the optimal speed for the cd you've slipped inside. This is necessary as it automatically detects the chemical makeup of the cd and decides optimal speed and power setting for the blank. More often than not writing at higher speeds than that of the rated speed of the blank gives coasters or degraded cds. > try using xcdroast. you might use cdrecord too. but try the newer version of cdrecord which should be 2.0 C Get Your Private, Free E-mail from Indiatimes at http://email.indiatimes.com Buy The Best In BOOKS at http://www.bestsellers.indiatimes.com Bid for for Air Tickets @ Re.1 on Air Sahara Flights.

CDRecord writing speed

Hello All, I am using CDrecord software version 1.10 to write my CDs. I found that it writes the CD too slow. I am using Lite-on external USB CD-Writer. I explicitly specified the speed by using the speed option to 40x. But that doesn't help. I tried with the same media and writer on my Windows machine with similar configuration and it writes it much faster.(It took only 4 minutes on Windows but 11 minutes on Linux). Is it an issue with CDRecord ? Is there any other Cdrecording software on Linux that will write it faster ? -- Regards, Mohan Cheema

With regards to the expenses and sponsorship as highlighted by you i would earnestly suggest that you discuss the same with your peers at the upcomign meeting. Very simple Madhav.....in this world everything works based on a simple philosophy of demand and supply. You can lead 10 horses to the river but cant force even one of them to drink. The way i look at it Madhav, it makes no sense to take up the mantle alone if there is no vociferous support. I would earnestly suggest that we scale down the size of the event and lets have a 2 day joint workshop between bombay-goa linux user groups. Me will have the same presented to the bombay lug and line up speakers for the next month. Feb 21-22nd can be a good time to hold this workshop. Lets have a target of 15 speakers spread over 2 days and arrange the same between bomba-goa lugs. The workshop would be open to all over the country with a small entrance fee of 200-300 towards meeting the expenses of food/eatables. This i can assure you will work without any sponsorship and won't require you to cry out hoarse. Get this moving and once we can pat ourself on the back for such small events like this Madhav i can assure you the rest will fall in place.

New Kernel installation problem
by Nikunj Virani 04 Jan '04

04 Jan '04

Hi Everyone, I have installed RHES 2.1 installed on my machine, which comes by default with kernel-2.4.9-e.24. It works well. I recently upgraded to kernel 2.4.18-27.7.x using kernel RPM as follows: rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.18-27.7.x.i686.rpm /sbin/mkinitrd -f -v /boot/initrd-2.4.18-27.7.x I am using grub as the bootloader and it has following configuration for booting into new kernel: title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-27.7.x) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-27.7.x ro root=/dev/hda3 initrd /initrd-2.4.18-27.7.x.img When i boot into new kernel i get following error: pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot, /sysroot/initrd) failed: 2 Freeing unused kernel memory: 160k free Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. Thing to note. I can still boot to older kernel and works well. Any one any ideas what could be the problem in here? Any help on the matter will be appreciated. Thanks and Regards, Nikunj
