CEP Workshop on "GNU/Linux at Work"
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

First of all ... we desperately need publicity for the workshop to work. No turnout so far, although the DEP people say its not yet time go get really alarmed. We are trying to put together a list of people who might be interested and mailing them the brochure. Would be great if people on the list also helped by doing the same. Is there any way to get some publicity done through the groups in Pune, Nagpur, Nanded, Hyderabad, Indore? The brochure is available at this link: http://www.it.iitb.ac.in/~sameerds/cep-gnulinux.pdf Sameer. -- Research Scholar, KReSIT, IIT Bombay http://www.it.iitb.ac.in/~sameerds/

Hi I wasn't able to create a username with dots (m.vinayak) on my local machine which runs RH 9. Any idea why this has been disabled and how this can be circumvented. This was allowed on RH 8.

modem troubles
by Amit Upadhyay 04 Aug '03

04 Aug '03

hi, i have got an internal modem, and it works fine on my comp [got drivers etc for linux]. now i want to install it in a lab comp, and that comp is really old [had to take apart three junk PCs to assemble one working one, and still not sure if everything is fine]. neways, there are two free pci ports and i have tried the modem on both. the problem is: i am expecting linux to detect the device atleast, and show it in lspci/cat /proc/pci etc. but it isnt. i remember harddrake showing a red entry for the modem [as winmodem] when i had not installed the drivers on my PC, but here it just says "cant load serial module" when starting up and doesnt show any modem. i tried changing bios settings to do the pnp stuff itself with autmatic setting. but despite everything lspci is not showing the modem :(( its eating up a lot of my time, and got to get this working before i cud proceed. please let me know if u have ideas on how to deal with this. tia, -- amit upadhyay

Printing from GNU/Linux m/c -> Windows m/c
by Shashank Ashtikar 04 Aug '03

04 Aug '03

Hello Everyone, I am trying to share a printer connected to windows98 m/c. I am using cups to manage printing from GNU/Linux box. The printer is an Epson dot matrix 24 pin series printer. on the windows98 m/c printer is shared(no authentication required) and is visible in the Network Neighbour Hood as shared. In cups I tried few settings but results have not been encouraging at all. Setting 1 Deviece URI : smb://1.2.3.4:80/printer_name Driver selected was Epson 24 series. But after these settings I get error saying "Connection failed with error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFULL" The log level setting for cups is at debug2 but the error log also shows the same statement nothing more. Setting 2 Device URI : ipp://1.2.3.4/printer_name or Device URI : http://1.2.3.4/printer_name Driver was the same as in above case. After doing this setting I get an error saying "host 1.2.3.4 is busy or is down will retry in 30 seconds." and then the same line is also present in the error log. Printing to the same printer is posible from another windows machine. but cups is having trouble. Suggestions anybody. Thanks in Advance Shashank

help me
by allan dsouza 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

hello, I am writing in for the first time to this group. Please see if u can help me out with this problem. I have Red Hat 8.0 installed on my system. Kernel : 2.4.18-14 Setup : I have installed vncserver on the linux system. and i use the vncviewer(for windows) to access the xdesktop on the windows clients. (The windows clients and the linux system are in the same network). This works perfectly fine for one user. Working : Everyuser who wants to view his desktop via the vncviewer on the windows machine has to manually start the vncserver after logging in via telnet after which he is assigned an id for his desktop, then only he can see his desktop via the vncviewer where he specifies the id which was assigned when he started the vncserver. Problem : What i want to know is whether this process can be automated by the administrator so that everytime the machine starts the vncserver can be started for all the users in a sequence known by the administrator so that the id's of each of the users desktop would be know and only fixed id's could be given to the users to connect to their desktop. Please let me know if this problem can be solved. thank you, ALLAN --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo.

How do I build a Linux Blackbox?
by Subba Rao 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

Hello everyone, I am interested in building a Linux blackbox. The typical distros that I switch between are Slackware and Debian. When I do a typical install of these distro, I pretty much install everything. Once I configure a system for a specific need I would like to strip off the unnecesary "stuff". For example, the Web server, GCC compiler need not be on this black box anymore. It is easy to remove them as well. How do you determine the dependency chain for the "removable" tools? I do think leaving the GCC compiler on it is important since there are patches and kernel updates to be installed frequently. Regardless the function of the blackbox, what are the minimum set of tools that need to be left alone on a black box system? Thank you in advance for any information. -- Subba Rao subba9(a)cablespeed.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Old American Wild West saying: God created men but Colt made them equal.

multi-boot error w/ 2 hdd's
by Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. 28 Jul '03

28 Jul '03

I have 2 hdd's hda and hdb. I have RH 9 on hda2 w/ grub as bootloader. I then installed slackware 9 on hdb2 (which previously had RH 8.) hdb3 also has RH 8. Slackware is on reiserfs. I have installed lilo of slackware on boot sector of / (hdb2) as I did not make a seperate boot partition. I have copied the vmlinuz of slack to /boot of RH 9 and have made the entries in grub.conf as below: ---------------------------- default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Red Hat Linux 9 (2.4.20-8) root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/12 hdd=ide-scsi initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-8.img title Slackware 9 (2.4.20) root (hd1,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-ide-2.4.20 ro hdd=ide-scsi title DOS rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 ---------------------------- Now, when I try to boot into slackware from grub, it boots into RH 8 *even though it is pointing to the correct partition as grub recognises the reiserfs partition type*. I can only boot into slackware thru the install CD with the root= option. Previously, the original RH 8 loaded up from grub. What am I doing wrong ? Why hasn't slackware overwritten the boot sector of it's root partition ? I used to get pretty vague fs erors on this disk previously which is why I bought a new hdd and kept the old one as a backup. regards, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. Mumbai, India.

blurred display
by Pradnyesh Sawant 28 Jul '03

28 Jul '03

the display on my screen is very blurred (both on command prompt and also the gui). all letters and even icons are very fuzzy. it's really hard to read anything on the comp. it all started after i installed mandrake9 on a blank partition. i'm currently using RedHat 7.3 besides mandrake9. it is on RHL 7.3 that i'm experiencing this problem. all entries in /etc/X11/XF86Config and /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 are correct. when i try to change the resolution of the screen using Xconfigurator, i get the foll msg at the end: "There is a problem with your X configuration. You may go back and modify your configuration or exit now". is there any way to restore my X configuration, other than reinstallin RHL 7.3 plz help !! -- HACKER: Someone who loves to program and loves being clever about it. --- Pradnyesh Sawant (The Doubtfire) B.E.
