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!?

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!?

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Cyberoam client
by Amish Mehta 07 Sep '01

Hi You can also use '-d' command line option in which case the client doesnt go in background and writes debug information to stdout, stderr. I dont remember much abt code, you can send the output to me. Code can be found at http://briefcase.yahoo.com/amishmm Please also read README. Also recently the Cyberoam had launched new client and I was asked to update to new client. So probably they have changed the protocol. I will try check it in 1 weeks time. Amish.

Cyberoam client
by S. Krishnan 07 Sep '01

07 Sep '01

Mitul, The original code was written by Amish Mehta. It worked in daemon mode off a console screen. You had to kill the process to stop it. I wrote a GTK based X client based on Amish's network code. However, since I do not have access to a Cyberoam account, I could not test it, except in simulation. Kishor Bhagwat has reported some problems with it. Anyway, I will e-mail you the code from home tonight. See if you can debug it and get it to work properly. If you want the original console daemon code, please ask Amish for the download details (I think he had a Yahoo download site, IIRC).

Hi guys, recently in my company the sys admin has setup a squid proxy which is now restricting me to access yahoo messnger & other services like ftp, telnet etc. it is only allowing http on 8080. before my network didnt have a proxy & all requests were going to the router so i could directly ping or telnet any server as if i was directly connected to the net. but now as i am behind a proxy i cannot use any service like telnet or ftp .. & if i telnet to my local proxy & verify my login it logs me in but as no shell is provided i get disconnected .. basically all this is done so that we dont waste the bandwidth or misuse it... huh .. now what i want to do is i want to run yahoo messenger/icq, telnet, ftp .. i have used Kiwibox for chat but i want to connect through my usual yahoo messger/icq ..so how do i go about it ...? my office proxy is --> Squid/2.3.STABLE4 .. I am also unable to check my other POP3's except my official one .. so is there any way .. i could some how tweak or do something to enjoy these services .. ;-) Thanx in advance cheers~ </shahazad> -- Get your firstname@lastname email for FREE at http://Nameplanet.com/?su

In our systems we have two partitions of hard disk, one is win'2000 and linux 6.2.. while booting lilo file it will ask two options (linux/dos) In one system we observed that there is no paswd setting in lilo.conf file. But still while booting into linux single, it is asking passwd. Using root authentication, when I opened that /etc/lilo.conf file I observed that there is no passwd setting in lilo.conf. I want to know is there any file other than lilo.conf where i can set the passwd & prevent "linux single" access. ===== Bye,With best regards,-Ramaprasad.M.K.My other e-mail addresses according to the order of preference.mkr_prasad@yahoo.co.in,prasad74@rediffmail.com

installing win after installing linux
by noel seq 04 Sep '01

04 Sep '01

Hi guys, I have installed RHL7.1 on my 8gb hdd with 6gb for linux and 2gb for win95/98. Now that i have completed the installation, how do i get to the 2gb partition which i have set aside and install win95/98. I can see the partition from linux as fat 16. But booting from floppy does not show this partition and i cannot even access it. Fdisk in dos (floppy boot) shows 8gb as a single partition while fdisk in linux shows all my partition /boot, swap, /root and fat16. I have not even formatted the fat16 partition. Can i format it as fat16 from linux? then probably i can install win95/98 and create a label in lilo. Anybody gone through this path before ? Regards, Noel.

DOS recognizes only the first primary partition (don't know why does it not recognize the others) and also this partition needs to be set as the active partition. Also keep in mind that your LILO will be overwritten after Windoze 9x installs itself, so make a Linux bootable floppy before hand and/or copy the vmlinuz file on your Windoze partition. You can use loadlin.exe later to boot into Linux.

I need a quick list of linux packages that would attract an engineering crowd - professors as well as students. Send this to me privately. Also, if anyone writes/sells bootROM for 16bit/32 bit network cards, for booting diskless machines, contact me with details.

GIMP tutorials
by Anand 04 Sep '01

04 Sep '01

Hello List members, I am happy to tell you that the first set of GIMP tutorials named GIMP-Jr.K.G is ready. This set is meant for absolute beginners. The next set of tutorials is also being formed. The effects that these tutorials have given are very-very encouraging.* GIMP-JR.K.G.* This set of tutorials gives information on how to use the basic tools available with GIMP. Usage of Rectangular selection, Fuzzy Selection, Blend, Fill, pattern fill and other such tools are covered. Usage of Some Filters and Script-Fu's are also covered. Creating your own brush and patterns is also dealt with. This is a set of ten tutorials where each and every step has been covered and allows even beginners to easily use the GIMP software. Total size :45 MB. * Karnala-GIMP* (partially over, text formatting, tutorial checks under progress.) Did you know that using simple Script-Fu's of GIMP, you can make more than a billion different web themes!!! This second set of tutorials focuses on how the tools available with GIMP can be used to make powerful web themes in a short span of time. Some 25 exclusive, photographs of Karnala, Monkeys and karnala surroundings, form the base of the presentation tutorials. Topics covered include: Easy creation of several types of custom buttons, headers, banners, arrows and bullets. Easy creation of Image maps using the ImageMap filter. Making custom buttons. Web Presentations. Complete set of HTML and JavaScript codes used in the pages of the tutorials. Total Size 68 MB. Time taken for these tutorials are around three months in total. Plus some expenses, have been incurred. I am looking for some compensation for these tutorials so that I end up at least in a no-loss/no-profit situation. I doubt weather magazines may be interested in publishing tutorials for a non-commercial software like GIMP. Anyway, I plan to approach them. Any other ideas are also welcome. Anand
