Synchronising system time
by Manish Jethani 24 Sep '01

24 Sep '01

I want to synchronise my system time with any external source each time it boots. I've heard of ntp and stuff but I don't really have any clues. Would appreciate if I get some quick help here. Thanks. Manish J. -- Objects are lost only because people look where they are not rather than where they are.

RX and TX. Is there any other way to find it out? How precise are the values reported? Thanks Amish.

Hi friends, I am not able to load X windows on my node. I have booted the diskless node under LTSP and I tried to load X windows. The mother board is intel 810e chipset. I have also tried with Trident SVGA card. I am briefing here under the messages appeared on the screen using both cards. Also I am attaching the lts.conf file for reference. Please guide me how to go further to get X loaded in node. XFS is running on the server when given the command ps aux | grep xfs, it shown as follows. xfs 1331 0.0 1.6 5312 4144 ?

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Telling rpm what is installed

Philip wrote: >How do I tell rpm that I have installed some packages from tgz? It >refuses to install software that requires these files. AFAIK, you can't ... unless someone decides to write a utility which will do just that. The best way is to create an rpm out of the tarball - it's rather straightforward once you get the hang of how to create a spec-file. The only hard part is creating the list of files in it, which specifies what goes into the package. But that can be done by inspecting the output of "make -n install" in the tarball.
