Kernel 2.4.9 and X
by Philip S Tellis 08 Sep '01

08 Sep '01

I have kernel 2.4.7 and 2.4.9, XFree86-4.0.3 Under 2.4.7, X runs perfectly, under 2.4.9, it refuses to start up, giving me a DMA allocation error. I get errors like this in my kernel log files: i810_ioremapfree:mappings] *ERROR* Attempt to free NULL pointer i810_ioremapfree:mappings] *ERROR* Excess frees: 153 frees, 2 allocs Absolutely no problems in 2.4.7. The only difference in kernel configs is that ftpfs is enabled in 2.4.9, but module sizes are very different in the two kernels. Ideas?

Telnet Server
by shailesh bhate 08 Sep '01

08 Sep '01

Hi guys! I just installed RHL 7.1 from the PCQ July CD. I had a "install everything" install. I created a user on the system and when I try to telnet to the m/c from Windoze, it says "Connect failed...". I then tried to telnet the m/c from the m/c itself. Same problem. I could not find inetd on the m/c. But I did find xinetd and ran it. In vain. I also tried to run telnetd, but it never ran. It said:- " telnetd: getpeername: Socket operation on non-socket " What could be the problem? Regards, Shailesh.

locale settings
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 08 Sep '01

08 Sep '01

I seem to have messed up the locale settings on my machine ... here's what perl says when I try to run a script. perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = "en_US.ISO-8859-9" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). Similarly any GNOME application gives the following error Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library The original error messages had reported "english" as the locale setting. While experimenting I ended up with the above strings when I stuck an alias for "english" in /etc/locale.aliases. Where do I set up my language environemt? Do I need to restart bash and all? I am using Debian unstable ... the whole thing probably started when I upgraded my glibc and other packages .. SameerDS. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Problems with X (SiS 6215c and Sampo Monitor on SuSE 7.1)
by Kinjal Sonpal 07 Sep '01

07 Sep '01

Hi Luggers! One of my friends has SiS6215c Display Card with 2mb VRAM. He recently installed SuSE 7.1 in his machine. The monitor is Sampo AlphascanSV. The problem is that, the display card is not being detected. Hence he's not being able to run X. When he tried to run SaX, the SuSE X configurator, not even the initial screen comes up. Entire screen looks very garbled and after some time SaX exits. We tried xf86config, but we did not get any near as my freind has misplaced all of the Manuals and docs. We also tried our hands during installation, but that too went in vain. Anyone having similar configuration, please help. I think there was a patch available for the display card, but I cud not find on the net. TIA. Warm Regards, $ sonpal -kj _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Support Services for Linux Based Environment
by K M 07 Sep '01

07 Sep '01

Hi, My company is setting up a number of linux desktops and servers in our offices at Delhi, Bombay, Indore and . Since there is a lack of appropriately trained personnel, the management is considering outsourcing some of the initial setup and the subsequent software support services. I wanted to find out of there are any firms in Delhi and Bombay which offer such services for Linux environment and what is the range of annual / per call charges. I have been told that Red Hat has also setup its operations in India but I haven't been able to find out their contact and service details. Please mail me information regarding linux services and Red Hat's India operations. Thank you, Kamat __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
