Hi Luggers, I tried using Dreamweaver with wine. However it is not working. Whenever I try to run any windows programs it throws up a kernel32.dll error. Does anybody know how to tackle this? The exact error message is given below: err:module:PE_fixup_imports Module (file) KERNEL32.dll (which is needed by C:\windows\system\version.dll) not found err:win32:PE_LoadLibraryExA can't load C:\windows\system\version.dll err:module:MODULE_LoadLibraryExA Loading of native DLL C:\windows\system\version.dll failed (error 14), check this file. err:module:PE_fixup_imports Module (file) VERSION.dll (which is needed by C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 2\Dreamweaver.exe) not found I tried including the line "kernel32" = "builtin,native", the result was that I got the error given below: err:win32:do_relocations FATAL: Need to relocate C:\windows\system\kernel32.dll, but no relocation records present (stripped during link). Try to run that file directly ! err:module:MODULE_LoadLibraryExA Loading of native DLL C:\windows\system\kernel32.dll failed (error 193), check this file. err:module:PE_fixup_imports Module (file) KERNEL32.dll (which is needed by C:\windows\system\version.dll) not found err:win32:PE_LoadLibraryExA can't load C:\windows\system\version.dll err:module:MODULE_LoadLibraryExA Loading of native DLL C:\windows\system\version.dll failed (error 14), check this file. err:module:PE_fixup_imports Module (file) VERSION.dll (which is needed by C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 2\Dreamweaver.exe) not found Thanks!

Wine, Dine and Network(tweak)ing
by Jeetu 08 Dec '02

08 Dec '02

Hey all, Am new to the list and relatively new to Linux in general, though have been using it as my primary OS for quite sometime now and luv it :) I'm using Debian 3.0 with kernel 2.4.18 and my research interest is in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) - a subset of AI. I have my open source project called Mother (http://mother.sourceforge.net) Have a few queries and would really appreciate if I could get some help on them : a) Over a period of time have been trying to follow the Wine project and it's progress. I'm quite impressed by it. Recently I've been trying to install Office 97 on it using wine-20021125 and the installation fails after it searches for installed components. Any ideas on how to get it goin?....and I use OpenOffice and just wanna see if I can get this going to guage the progress of Wine (basically trying to see how long it'd be before I can run my VB based inventory software at work which is currently under development under Linux....then I can run Linux at work :) ). The Wine newsgroup doesn't seem to respond to this, however there are ppl who say Office 97 is running for them....if anyone here knows how then i'd appreciate. b) I have a Realtek 8139 based NIC and it runs great. I'm using the BSES Powersurfer Broadband service. I get speeds similar to those I get under Windows and was wondering if there's tweaking I can do that'd help improve that. My network interface comes up during bootup as set in half-duplex mode....is that due to the card? or due to the network?? basically can I set this to full duplex? or is there any other way to significantly improve speeds. c) The Konqueror file browser upon trying to unzip a .tar.gz file seems to do it very very slowly, for huge files, when compared to the tar utility. Is that a bug or is there something i should do to set it right? d) Anyone here knows of any project (or app) that aims to bring Voice Chatting abilities to MSN clones under Linux. I know the aboves quite a long list of questions.....thanks a lot in advance for all the help. Bye for now

I am going to follow these basic rules. 1. Should use the same mailing list software and not try to reinvent the wheel by writing a new mailing list software. (This will include studying the present mailing lists softwares and their analysis) 2. Include POP as an option to it instead of forcing everyone to POP from the server. So POP will only be an feature and not a compulsion, list admins my diable this feature if required. 3. Support to reply to mails online - web based. (Online Yahoo groups or google groups for example). The interested programmers who have contacted me and I have managed to gather their info are: "Srinivasan.

MBR / Partition table woes
by Chetan Vaity 07 Dec '02

07 Dec '02

Has anyone recoverd a partion table with a tool called "gpart". This tool scans the entire disk block by block looking for partition begin patterns. The guesses can then be used to recreate the partition table by hand. A friend of mine wanted to reinstall Win2000 on a dual boot machine. The (fateful) sequence of events: --------------------------------- 1. I copied the first sector of /dev/hda to a file /root/MBR.grub using dd. 2. Booted from the Win2K CDROM and installed Win2K. 3. Try booting. No grub. Directly goes on and boots Windows. 4. Booted from RedHat 7.3 CDROM, entered rescue mode. It recognised the existing linux partitions. Copied the first sector of /dev/hda to /root/MBR.win, again using dd. Then copied the /root/MBR.grub to /dev/hda. 5. Try booting. Grub appears. Enter Linux choice - boots Linux properly. But when Windows is selected in grub, it pops up Grub again. 6. Again booted using RedHat CDROM. Copied /root/MBR.win to /dev/hda. 7. Try booting. Nothing. Just a blank screen. No error messages. 8. Panic. 9. Try booting using RedHat CDROM. Now it doesn't find any Linux partitions. Only raw device /dev/hda available. 10. Panic! 11. Compile "gpart" on another machine and transferred it to this m/c using a floppy. (in Linux rescue mode). Started gpart. I will try and get the output of gpart and post it here. Any help, advice will be appreciated. - Chetan

Removing prefix from subject
by Gautam Mani 07 Dec '02

07 Dec '02

Hi all, I have been using Linux for more than 3 years now, and joined this mailing list around 2 weeks back. I have a small suggestion. Can we remove the [ILUG-BOM] prefix in the subject of all mails in the list as it reduces readability in the index of messages. Is there any specific reason why it exists? It would be cool if someone could point that out. To make my point clear, checkout the two screenshots of my mailer (taken on ilug-bom and the mutt-users mailing list) 1. ilug-bom linuxers: http://www.execve.net/showcase/ilug-bom.png 2. mutt-users: http://www.execve.net/showcase/mutt-users.png As you all can clearly see, it not only reduces readability, but also hurts the eyes (as a matter of speaking). Thoughts/Comments? Cheers, Gautam -- Gautam Mani <execve_at_execve_dot_net> Don't be a slave! Use the Door -- use Linux. Secure-Key: [ A7E6 795F AF8D 91AF 1D5E 3CC5 7847 7DCC 7586 EF34 ]

> [storing mail on the mailing list server, retrieval by POP3, instead > of sending it out via SMTP as god intended] > > You do realise that you're re-inventing Usenet? hmm, I know it does sound similiar to newsgroups (aside from the protocol: NNTP vs POP3) but the key difference is that only people on the list can send mail (which I think is the default) against everyone allowed or moderation by one or more persons on newsgroups. What I really think this idea is useful for is to use an existing mailing list software eg. Mailman, and to modify an exisiting option on it: (disable delivery :: on/off) to something like (Mail Delivery:: On/POP3/Off). So those who want can still get SMTP messages, those who don't want can disable mails totally. The killer app is when you are away for a time, and turn POP3 on for the duration. When you get back, just download the messages for the duration from POP3; this means your real mailbox is never full or don't receive soemthing like 200 messages which is quite possible ;-) And if you disable you cannot get them at all, and have to browse from the web or something. so best of both worlds :-) I'd like to help for this idea, but as I suspect Mailman is in Python it'll take a bit of time to get used to it and I'll do it after my exams, something like after Jan 15. imho there is no point in writing something new, it may not be as well tested or known, just modify some already existing and working software (Mailman) to do what we need :-) Regards, - A. ---------------------------------------------------- There is no stability in life, but only opportunity.

The preffered language for the implimentation of this will be C++, or JAVA. The project goes like this. Today mailing lists function this way. A mail is sent to mailing list server and the server tries to send the mail to everyone who has subscribed, this is a very big overhead on the mailing lists servers since for each received mail, it has to send hundreds or thousands of mails all across the globe on the internet, ofcourse many times the deleivary is not completed in the first attempt as well. There is a very obvious solution to this, is provide a pop account on this very same mailing list server for each member, this is although a good solution is not very practical since multiple copies of a message need to me maintained, one for each member and the memory required on the server will rise exponentially. The solution that I have though is, the mailing list server maintains a index of all the available messages it has received right from the time the server started functioning, whenever a member wants to receve mails then he can connect to the mailing list server using his normal POP client and the server will respond back using the POP protocol. The server will not have a normal POP server running but will actually be a part of the mailing list software that can provide virtual POP, now for each member of the mailing list there will be a index maintained by the mailing list server. In this index there will be account of the messages that the member has not yet received, only those messges will be given to him as new messages.

Extracting data from a .GDB file

Hi Luggers...:-)) I have a .GDB file containing some data. I want to extract that data to a MySQL database or to a flat file. I have never worked with a .GDB file. Some amount of googlizing had led me to believe that .GDB extension is used by Interbase for its database files. How do I get the data out of that GDB file? I don't have Interbase installed on my Linux m/c. Can I still access the data in the file?

[snip] doubts -------- 1.still the server has to maintain all the mails, as it has to make archives, that anyways takes up memory?? 2. while maintaining the index no, after sometime this number will scale upto high values and keep growing. after certian amnt of time, the inbuilt datastructures will not be able to hold the no. and thus we will have to store it in a userdefined structure like an array or a linked list... thats it. although i wont be able work on this project now as i am doing one already! but i can provide help in designing the data structure for the index as am working on something like that... regards Gurpreet Gurpreet Singh Student Final Yr Computer Sc. & Engg. --------------------------------------------------------------------- M A K E Y O U R O W N R O A D --------------------------------------------------------------------
