First of all you can have c++ in linux by installing the g++ package (GNU's C++). And about java, you will have to install it seperately for both. The win version can be found on the March2001 Chip CD. For java in linux you will have to download the package from Sun's website. You can also install the jdk docu only once and access the same in bot winnt & linux. And about c++ under winnt i suggest vc++ over plain c++. Paresh C.

Recovering an unfscked disk (partly OT)
by Satya 10 Jul '01

10 Jul '01

[For those who don't know, IDE hard disks are hda=primary master, hdb=prim slave, hdc=secondary master, hdd=sec slave] So this morning I woke up, checked my email, and... started hearing noises from hda. Ugh. fsck went nuts on the next reboot, as well as the next. All sorts of weirdness. My dealer suspects a problem with this particular model of hard disk. IBM DTLA something... he says the platters used may be bad. Also suspects heat problem. Now for the interesting bit. I seem to have recovered most of my Linux installation by installing RH6.1 temporarily on hdb, putting my old hda as hdd, and a new Seagate as hda. Created the partitions (somehow... egads, DOS fdisk, Linux fdisk, and Disk Druid simply do NOT play nice!), then mounted each of /, /home, and /usr (/var is on hdb and safe, and /lib is on /... I ought to separate it). Used cp -ax to copy all the stuff from hdd to hda, on the appropriate partitions. One reboot later, everything came up... except postfix the Great Mail Server. Seems most of /etc/postfix ended up in /lost+found on the last fsck. So I hand-recovered the essentials, dumped the rest in /etc/postfix/lostfound, and restarted postfix. Voila. We're back in business. Rest of the night will be spent in watching hda like a hawk, and rebooting hdd a few times to see if it's a transient problem. Amazingly, hdb is a Quantum Bigfoot. I've had it for 3 years, and I've heard all sorts of bad things about it. hda I've had for < 1 year. The name of the temporary installation? "bootstrap". -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> US-bound grad students! For pre-apps, see <URL:http://quickapps.cjb.net/> Murphy was an optimist.

India's contribution to Linux
by Kompalli SuryaPrakash 09 Jul '01

Hi There, > > 1. Why do you think Linux is important to India? > [snip] consider WRT the following points - 1> as a learning tool - Linux conforms to the Open source code... Since source code is public, and we can hack a system - do some re-engineering on the product without crossing legal borders - it is an excellent tool for students to learn the various aspects of an OS and its' working. 2> Very good OS for Indian desktops. Linux can run from a 386 and above...It is not a resource hogger... Hence, it is ideal in cases where ppl operate very old M/C to cut down costs and at the same time need some stability. (My college itself ;) ) Q's 2 and 3 have been answered by Satya an Trevor... > > 4. Has the Indian government showing a keen interest > > in Linux ? Can you mention some names and examples? > [snip] It (Govt.) does some work - one cannot say they are ignoring it - NCST works on Linux, IISc does simputer work etc. But there is no fixed direction or Direct involvement of the Govt. Everything gets lost in redtape - basically because; barring a few groups - Rest of the Govt. agencies remain oblivious to the benifits of good S/W, so Linux is still a very distant target. > > 5.

Precisely... wot is to be done is to make ppl understand that a Computer System or a OS is not intended to be a glorified resource hogger - It has to be economical(free), scalable(386-supercomp??), Stable, crossplatform, economical learning curve...

Hi There, I use sendmail and fetchmail for Emailing along with pine - everything (read pine/sendmail) is configured to handle mail thru a dial-up connection. I had a problem recently - All my emails are being directed to the wrong ppl. After tht, I just went thru the /var/spoll/mqueue - (of course for the new mails) there are some files starting with d/q followed by numbers with correct combinations of Email headers and body. I assumed that files starting with q inside /var/spoll/mqueue were headers and those starting with d were data ie. body of the email. There is another file startng with T. Shud that be there?? Now, wot cud the reason be tht sendmail mixed up my emails??I am a novice WRT sendmail :) Bye, SP -- Please NOTE: - I have changed my Email ID to neosurya(a)yahoo.com from ksuryap1(a)yahoo.com _ _ |/ |_ |_| |\ompalli _|urya| rakash MSN : - neosurya(a)hotmail.com Email: - neosurya(a)yahoo.com Phone: - 022-5506101 _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

hello folks, i'm new to your list and find your discussions enriching. i'm implementing a intranet based general purpose program for communication between users, implemented with jdk1.3/swing. if i want to enable file transfers between clients logged into the server, which is the better implementation for the actual data transfer? - p2p - this may not work behind firewalls, with applets - client->server->client - on the same socket - might result in congestion/messy implementation because of mixed file+other traffic - client->server->client - on a dedicated socket. all ur suggestions are most welcome.

Well if you want to implement load balancing on Linux then I would suggest just make your Linux router handle the request and the other 2 machines on which the actual requested data is, keep them on the internal network. The application on your Linux router machine should decide on which server the request should go.

my tomcat has more than 9 lives
by Philip S Tellis 06 Jul '01

06 Jul '01

I have tomcat running through apache (mod_jk). No one ever uses it though, so technically, it shouldn't be doing anything. However, I've noticed that after a day or so, there are about 30 java processes running, all attached to tomcat. The logs show that no one tried to access it (in fact, other than me, no one's even used apache on the machine). These processes take up loads of cpu time and basically slow down the machine. Any ideas? Anything I should try? Anything else you need to know? Philip -- Did you know that for the price of a 280-Z you can buy two Z-80's? -- P.J.

Next create a partition of the balance space. This will all go into the extended partition. format first partition with dos /win95/win98 floppy install windows on the first partition. >If I install Linux in the extended partition, will i be able to boot >using lilo or some other boot manager tool ? >and i also didn't understand what did u mean by Next Boot through Linux CD and repartition the second partition (extended) to however way you want. Make sure you put the lilo within 1024 cylinders because older kernels have this limitation. Fdisk (from linux cd) will give you the cylinder no details. Accordingly create the partitions that you want for win98 (d:) swap, /boot, /usr and /root. Install lilo on the MBR.

SIOCADDRT: No such device
by Mayur Joshi 06 Jul '01

06 Jul '01

Dear Linuxers, I have a newwork of 2 machines running RH 7.0 on the network 192.168.2.0. I was trying out Heartbeat(High availibility solution for Linux) on those 2 machines. I have configured Heartbeat to listen to ip 192.168.1.x. I tried to route request to 192.168.1.x to the network of 192.168.2.0. When I restart the network I get the error: SIOCADDRT: No such device In the docs of Heartbeat I found that I may need to enable IP aliasing in the kernel build. They asked to check for /usr/src/linux/.config and check CONFIG_IP_ALIAS=y. Now I don't find that file in the specified path. I just want to know on RH 7.0 how will I come to know whether that option is set or not. Best regards, Mayur Joshi _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

My new (as in, bought today) Seagate Barracuda 20GB is making high-pitched (sounds to be around 10kHz) whines now and then. Is it going to fail or something? Is this normal? -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> US-bound grad students! For pre-apps, see <URL:http://quickapps.cjb.net/> Don't use a big word where a diminutive one will suffice.
