Shell mode fonts.
by Q u a s i 16 Aug '01

16 Aug '01

Folks, Earlier when I had Slackware (now Debian), I remember there used to be some utility called fontconfig or something with which one could change the screen font in the normal text mode. Some of the fonts were _very_ good. Is this still possible in Slackware and is this available for Debian? quasi -- postscript -- Math is like love -- a simple idea but it can get complicated. -- R.

VSNL's mail and how to use sendmail to help
by Philip S Tellis 15 Aug '01

15 Aug '01

So VSNL has sent a clarification mail to all subscribers. The question now for us linux users is how to configure sendmail/postfix/exim/etc to set the MAIL FROM: as blah(a)vsnl.net while still keeping the From: as whatever we want? Editing the source is one option, but one I'd like to avoid as far as possible. Is there a configuration directive/pipe through procmail that can do it? If you don't want to go through this hassle though, the easiest way is to set a Reply-To: header. This may mess up with mailing lists though, like this one.

sound card configration
by Sameer Shinde 14 Aug '01

14 Aug '01

Hi all, I tried isapnptools. But I still can't use my sound card in RHL 7.1 During the bootup (dmesg) the message appears like : Activating ISA DMA hang workarounds. isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards... isapnp: Card 'OPL3-SAx' isapnp: 1 Plug & Play card detected total that means the sound card is detected by the RHL7.1 But still the sound test fails. I alsp try to execute pnpdump but, I didn't understand anything out of it. Also when I logout & halt the m/c. I get the message something like: saving mixer settings modprobe : Can't locate module sound - slot - 0 modprobe : Can't locate module sound - service - 0 - 0 aumix: error oopening mixer. How can I get rid of this & enjoy music form my linux box?

md devices
by Sameer Shinde 14 Aug '01

14 Aug '01

Hi all, Some days back I have asked about md devices which were causing problems during halting my system under the title Halting problem. At that time Mr. Rajan Parekh suggested that, it is happening becoz the sys is trying to swithch off the m/c, which can be done if one uses ATX type of mainboard. So he suggested me to remove the "-p" switch from your "halt" command. The idea works out properly. But later I found that when I try to softboot the system with ctrl-alt-del. One last line appears below system halted line is, stopping all md devices, before the system reboots. Why is this line appears? Does the system really halts or it just hangs or goes into wait state instead of halting? Thanks & Regards, SAMEER :)) ~~~~~ My Messanger IDs MSN: s2sameer Yahoo!: s9sameer RediffBol: s2sameer Indiatimes: s2sameer AIM: s2sameer ICQ : 126769285

Rotten VSNL.

I kick myself for voting them the best ISP in a survey some time back. Those rotten assholes have gone mad or something? We should all come together and sue them for wasting so many man hours to fix this idiosyncrasy. But the current situation is bad, so a few questions. 1. If we have our own smtp server running (eg. exim, qmail) then will the current restrictions of VSNL affect us? Or will it affect only those using VSNL smtp gateways? 2. If we have our own smtp gateway, we bypass vsnl dont we? quasi -- postscript -- Math is like love -- a simple idea but it can get complicated. -- R.

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.

Office-Worker Linux: It's Here and It Works
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 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!?

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

In linuxconf...Access local drive..set mask of partition to '000'(zero-zero-zero)(simple zero should also work :-)) which allows everybody write access to partition. Hint: Its second last or third last option. I dont know exactly where but its there! Amish. Sameer Shinde wrote: > How can I give the permision to other users to write to >windows partitions?

Look at the folowing sites: http://www.ltsp.org http://etherboot.sourceforge.net You can emulate the diskless node operation using a floppy disk instead of burning the boot R0M(not RAM) again and again. Once you are satisfied, the contents can then be written to the boot ROM. Regards, Ashok

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Mouse Config Debian 2.2

Its /dev/psaux for PS/2 >mouse. I was also confused when I switched from RH to Debian. I got a Logitech Serial Mouse and is on COM2, so I selected /dev/ttyS1. 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.
