Make sure you have screen installed on the remote computer.

a) ssh to the computer in question.
b) type "screen"
c) start the program
d) Ctrl+a d

Voila, you have a detached screen. To reattach it, just type
"screen -r" on a later occation.

I believe it does - but you might get better results with the
kanotix variant of knoppix which seems to have WiFi sorted out better.

Lack of imagination on your part Peter. sure the source could be important.
The writer might use files within the source to control the program.
That most writers do not do this is something you learn, it is not a self
evident proposition.
And telling the user to try it-- only to have him discover that it breaks
what he just spent 5 hours setting up is as stupid as a source code writer
making the program dependant on the source files.

 
 
 

As always experience can be an expensive teacher. How many have not wasted
days of work "trying stuff out". Part of these newsnet things is exactly
gaining from the experience of others so not everyone has to learn by
their own experience.


WEre I Peter I would have suggested that the user make the file
chmod a-rx
so that the program could not use anything in the source files. If that
worked reliably for a while then I would erase the source. Ie, do not
engage in irrevocable behaviour without testing is a lesson Peter has
apparently never learned.

 

localhost / KDE error

Some browsers may think that localhost is an incomplete name and will
automatically search for an FQDN for it, possibly attempting to go to
www.localhost.com (which may exist, but would not have your URL path).
Sometimes it is hard to figure out how to disable that (sometimes called
"Smart Brousing") So try http://127.0.0.1/phpMyAdmin

Note that you do not really need a route for loopback
(127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0), since Linux is smart enough to know about routes to
its own interfaces (including lo).

I use separate screens for this type of operation.
Start a new screen using
xinit ./xinitrc.[gnome|kde] -- [:1|:2]
from your home directory the .xintrc files above can be duplicates of
your original with the exception that they launch gnome or kde (your
choice) rather than fvwm. You can then access all three window managers
via the ^ALT F[7|8|9] feature of X.

FC3 on Dell laptop

Posted: 09 Dec 2004 04:12 PM PST

I tried to follow the instruction in the INSTALL file, but still have
trouble. (firmware_class not found. I did copy all the *.fw to the
/lib/firmware directory.) Then I saw links at the bottom for FC3 rpms,
installed the 3 required rpms, and now it recognized the wireless card.

Now I need to talk to our sysadmin to solve the "determining IP
information for eth1... failed." message.

Thanks for the pointer.
