Sound config
by N. Shrikant 14 Aug '01

14 Aug '01

I've noticed that, on most any flavour of GNU/Linux [RedHat, Slackware, Debian, Mandrake, WinLinux], the loading of the sb module with the correct parameters for your sound card enables sounds perfectly. Of course, your sound card must be touted as "SoundBlaster Compatible", which most cards are, these days. At least, this worked for me in Redhat 6.2, Slackware 7.1, Potato, Mandrake 7.2 and WinLinux 2000. Does this also work on other flavours/versions? - Shrikant

[OT:Lisp] anyone still interested?
by Q u a s i 14 Aug '01

14 Aug '01

Folks, People still interested? Well I will list some misc. info I came across. Might be totally redundant, but am doing my li'll bit. Beginner's Text: Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation -- David S. Touretzky. A excellent book for starting. A mite on the slow side but builds solid foundations. Can be found at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/LispBook/book.pdf Another book by David J Cooper gives a good introduction. A link can be found at www.franz.com Some Sites www.lisp.org www.franz.com I have tried GCL, CLISP and finally setteled on CMUCL. GCL, they say is not fully compliant with the latest CL standard. It is a compiler which translates Lisp to C and then uses GCC to compile a true native binary. Quite fast. But it seems it is not actively maintained or developed. CLISP is actively maintained or developed but it compiles to byte code which has to run on a VM. CMUCL compiles to native binary and is quite fast. I have also got ilisp (an emacs package) to work with Xemacs and CMUCL. It allows to run lisp in a emacs buffer and one can (supposedly) do incremental developement. (Xemacs because I do not subscribe to RMS philosophy ;)) BTW Philip, Emacs _does_not_ have a built in lisp interpreter. It has a built in elisp interpreter. elisp is a very small and restricted subset of CL. hope I am not being overly enthusiastic. quasi p.s. I have a problem : The Alt key is not defined as the Meta key in X. In Xemacs I have to use ESC as the meta key. How do I redifine? -- postscript -- Math is like love -- a simple idea but it can get complicated. -- R. Drabek __________________________________________________ \?/ .Quasi.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] sort order of ls
by Amish Mehta 14 Aug '01

14 Aug '01

On Slakware its environment variable $LS_OPTIONS, with 'ls' aliased to 'ls $LS_OPTIONS', which controls output of ls. I guess its similar in case of Redhat. So you might have to set the environment variable and alias. Amish. Philip S Tellis wrote: > How do I revert to asciibetical order?

Office-Worker Linux: It's Here and It Works
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 13 Aug '01

13 Aug '01

http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=01/08/10/1441239 Walk into the Largo, Florida, city hall and look at the two computer screens behind the reception desk. Instead of the typical Windows "Start" button in the lower left-hand corner, they have a KDE "Gear" logo, as do almost all of the 400-plus monitors on Largo employees' desks. Receptionists, administrative assistants, and division fire chiefs here all use Linux instead of Windows, and most of them don't really notice one way or the other. But the elected officials who are responsible for Largo's IT budget certainly know about and notice Linux, because using Linux instead of Windows is saving the city a lot of money. One of the great anti-Linux screeds we hear is, "The secretaries will never be able to figure it out." If that is so, then Largo employee Judy Judt must be one of the world's smartest office workers. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

permision granting for vfat & modem.
by Sameer Shinde 13 Aug '01

13 Aug '01

Hi Friends, Today I assign windows partition to my linux box. Now I can access win partitions from RHL 7.1 But while testing with different users I found that, I can write to the partition only if I login as root. If I login as other user I can't write on the partitions. I can only read. If I try to write on the partitions, the message appears as, permision denied. How can I give the permision to other users to write to windows partitions?

telnet/ftp problem
by Keyur Shroff 13 Aug '01

13 Aug '01

I have installed RedHat Linux 7.1. I am not able to telnet to my machine from some other machine. While trying to telnet from some other machine to my machine, it gives me following error : Trying 202.141.151.92... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused Similarly when I try to ftp, it displays following error message : ftp: connect: Connection refused xinetd is running. From my local machine, it allows me to telnet/ftp to localhost. I have looked into /etc/sysconfig/network, /etc/xinetd.conf files and /etc/xinetd.d/ directory. All files seem OK to me. There is no firewall setting enabled. /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny have no entry. If someone wants to see these files then I can send the files. What may be the problem? - keyur.

VSNL stuff
by Fart Crimson 13 Aug '01

13 Aug '01

The last time I checked they seemed to only scan the "MAIL FROM:" i.e., the envelope addys. :-) One can circumvent the VSNL filtering mechanism by using fake addys that look like anything@<vsnldomains> and use correct ones in the headers. But, the moment they start scanning the headers we will have to do direct delivery :-( Fart

But now when I try startx it gives me Fatal Server Error. Mouse(Input/Output Error) It does suggest that there seems to be some communication problem with the mouse while X starts. At the back of mouse its written MouseMan Logitech Serial-Port Mouse. Now should I select Mouseman protocol or the option for serial mice in the Mouse config section of xf86config. I'm a little bit confused about it. I dont have manual for that mouse.
