problem starting up Fedora on an IBM Thinkpad 600E using Xircom card

Posted: 31 May 2004 06:58 PM PDT

Hi Lenard,

Thanks for the suggestion. I added the GATEWAY statment to ifcfg-eth0
as you suggested, but that did not solve the problem. Also, I have
DNS server addreseses in /etc/resolv.conf which appear to be ok.
They were taken from my router and seem to work with the other PCs
on my LAN.

[PATCH] Patch to hook up PPP to simple class sysfs support

Looks like FC may not have changed the pppd code. If I jumped to a

pppd 2.4.2 code that generates error:

pppd/options.c: option_error("error in active-filter expression: %s\n", pcap_

Perhaps your libpcap and mine differ, and mine does the right thing.
It was installed back in late 2002:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 135878 Oct 21 2002 /usr/lib/libpcap.a

Anyway something is different, since the pppd (2.4.1, 2.4.2) filter
options work great here.

Crazy mouse kvm problem again with SUSE 9.1

Have you tried swapping your mouse out for another model/brand? Does it do

Converting ext2/ext3 fs to ReiserFS or XFS Journaling File Systems

After 'installation', first make sure that your current
kernel supports the filesystems that you want, and you have
the proper tools to make them, eg. mkfs.xfs, mkfs_reiser.
Provided you have a spare partition with a fs on it, mount it
and copy the files from the partition that you want to convert.
ex. # cd /var , # find . -depth -print | cpio -pudm /mnt/spare
or something like that, to preserve the original attributes of
those files. Edit your /etc/fstab, and make sure the mount points
do refer to the new partition. reboot/remount(?). Now, create
the filesystem that you desired on that old part. , copy the files,
reboot and feel the changes. And thats about it, you're done.

A loaded question. First off, Linux is merely a kernel, although
a lot of people get a bit sloppy usage-wise (after all, such
nifty stuff can be enfolded around it!). A bit like asking
what the best fuel pump for an automobile is.

Second, all the distros work for the most part, unless one
has strange needs. I favor Gentoo because I like the idea
of consistently building systems from scratch, for example;
however, the rank newbie might have problems with such
a distro, although the directions are for the most part
clear enough. (If one's behind a firewall there's a bit
of a bugaboo, though; use RSYNC_PROXY=a.b.c.d:e instead of
the suggested format in the Handbook. I probably should
file a bug... :-) )

I just installed RedHat Enterprise 3.0, however, on a
Dell Precision tower, and while I'm having minor problems
with Java/JBoss, the install itself was extremely smooth.
(It was for work, of course; Fedora is apparently the home
version, that much I know. It's using 2.4.21, which is a
little long in the tooth by now.) Debian was the system
I was using prior to Gentoo; it's a very easy system to
work with as well. I've not used Mandrake but have read
good things about it.

http://www.distrowatch.com

contains a list of over 100 distros. Pick one. :-)

upgrading disk to lvm

In article <uio.no>,
Patrick Guio wrote: 

It's my belief that there is no "easy" way.

If you have multiple partitions, you might be able to migrate one
partition at a time, if you have some spare space. In that case, you
could archive what's on one partition onto another partition, redo the
partition as a PV, put it in a VG, create an LV, make a filesystem and
"unarchive" your data into that LV. Then archive the next partition,
declare that as a PV, extend the VG to include it, etc... repeat as
necessary. Kinda messy, but possible. For me, I'd add that second disk,
put it under LVM, migrate stuff off the first disk, then add that space to
LVM.

Of course, if you don't have any backup, then obviously, your data is of
no value to you, so why don't you just blow it off (pretending you had a
disk crash or a totally corrupted filesystem), and start over with LVM.

RTL 8139 with 2.4.2 bf2 kernel (debian)

Posted: 26 May 2004 12:53 AM PDT

One caution: if you install your own kernel, you must set kernel headers
properly; in my system, I install my own kernel in /usr/src/linux-2.4.26,
and make a symbolic link /usr/src/linux pointing to /usr/src/linux-2.4.6.
Then remove directories, /usr/include/asm and /usr/include/linux, then make
symbolic links /usr/include/asm to /usr/src/linux/include/asm and
/usr/include/linux to /usr/src/linux/include/linux. Then you can compile
additional kernel modules. On my system, NVIDIA kernel module driver and
vmware kernel modules compile and work perfectly. Debian is very generous
to your own kernel. I used woody in the past with my own build 2.4.x
kernel. But sarge is also stable and comes with newer software (for example
apache2 and xfree86 related packages) I upgraded to sarge (testing).

I can't find what's wrong with my lilo.conf

Posted: 25 May 2004 08:44 PM PDT

Removing a hard disk will shuffle BIOS device codes. This kills versions of
LILO earlier that 22.3. Since then, LILO defers final BIOS device code
assignments to drives until boot-time, allowing the boot-time environment to
be different from the install-time (/sbin/lilo) environment.

Your config file looks as though it were designed for an earlier version of
LILO, possibly version 21.

"In Turkey Kurdish is written with the Latin alphabet and in parts of the
former Soviet Union it is written with the Cyrillic alphabet. When
Kurdish is written with the Arabic script, Arabic loan words retain their
original spelling, though are often pronounced quite differently in
Kurdish."

The Kurds do not have a homeland and have been persecuted and discriminated
against for centuries. Turkey has a long history of human rights violations
against its citizens of Kurdish origin.

Set up of MS Office 2004 including Virtual PC for Mac

Posted: 23 Jul 2007 03:09 AM PDT

One *small* point to add to John's list :

Office 2003 will not serve as the basis for an *upgrade* to Office 2004 in
the first place - It isn't an "upgrade" you're making, it's a lateral
switch. IOW, you can only upgrade from one Mac version to the next or from
one Windows version to the next, not cross-platform. If you want to use the
Mac version of Office you'll need to buy the Full Retail Package (Standard
version , or - if you qualify - Student/Teacher... as John points out, you
have no need for Professional. The only thing it offers that the others
don't is VPC7, which you can't use).

Question about saving a layout

Posted: 22 Jul 2007 10:18 PM PDT


Me again, Michael.

Have now had time to check.

You don't need to quit Word after amending the Normal template --just change
the zoom value and save, then close it. New blank documents from then on
will be in the zoom value you have chosen.

By the way, irrespective of the view you have been in when you have closed
the Normal template (e.g., Normal view or Page Layout view), Word will open
new blank documents in the same view as the last document you were in.

cheers,

You can't. You need Exchange Server for that.

The closest you can come is to "Publish" your Outlook Calendar to a website,
where you can view it when you are not at your desk.

Alternatively, some ISPs will provide you with a hosted and managed Exchange
Server account as part of your mail service. That will permit you to use
Outlook Web Access to view and manage your calendar online.

XPS for Mac

Posted: 19 Jul 2007 04:33 PM PDT

Hiya,
AS far as I went XPS (metro) should be alternative to PDF. The point was
to make some portable file format at OS level on PCs. Similar as on Mac
PDF support build into OS.

I haven't the opportunity to test/see such files to compare them with
PDF, but PDFs sometimes suffer in font handling... so we have to wait
for a while to see how XPS can cope with them, how it will possibly
spread to pre-press...

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime double so :)

Interesting, I saw some benchmarks stating that raw devices are

Dual-Boot of WinXP/Fedora-Core 2 - can't boot WinXP after install

Posted: 20 May 2004 06:07 AM PDT

Hi mjt:

Thank you for responding.

I'm not sure if that change would have any effect or not but I did find a
solution.

There is a 'bug' in the FC2 (from what I have read now it seems that FC1 had
this too, but I don't recall any issue(s) when I did this with RH9)
installation process that changes the number of 'virtual' heads (hard-drive
configuration) reported to the operating system (WinXP can't deal with it).
I found a solution after a bit of searching and a few iterations of playing
with the settings using sfdisk. The information I used is located at
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-May/msg02114.html and
replies to that message. The bottom line is that you have to boot from a CD
(I used the fedora rescue disk) and then I 'chroot /mnt/sysimage'. I saved
the boot image as indicated in the message above (I would highly recommend
that anyone attempting this does that). Once you get to that point you need
to type: 'sfdisk -d /dev/hda | sfdisk --no-reread --force -H255 /dev/hda'
(no ' ', of course). This works if you need to tell the opsys that you have
255 heads. The number after -H may have to be something else for other
configurations (the message says that on some laptops it needs to be 240,
but I'm clueless how one figures out that number) and I'm not sure exactly
what this does besides changing the reported head number (if anything). The
final result was that WinXP once again booted and all worked fine.

After doing all of this I made another partition to share between Linux and
WinXP using 'parted'. This created the same problem again and I had to use
the fix above to get access to WinXP again. This would lead me to believe
that 'parted' is making this modification (which is not all that
surprising), as it is the same utility that the install program uses to
setup the partitions.

Making NTFS writeable without recompiling kernel

Posted: 18 May 2004 09:19 PM PDT

In comp.os.linux.setup, Markus uttered these immortal words:
 

I doubt that you'll be able to add NTFS write support without re-compiling
the kernel. It's almost trivial with Debian though.

BTW I found this in the help for kernel 2.6.6:

<quote>
NTFS write support (NTFS_RW)

This enables the partial, but safe, write support in the NTFS driver.

The only supported operation is overwriting existing files, without
changing the file length. No file or directory creation, deletion or
renaming is possible. Note only non-resident files can be written to
so you may find that some very small files (<500 bytes or so) cannot
be written to.

While we cannot guarantee that it will not damage any data, we have
so far not received a single report where the driver would have
damaged someones data so we assume it is perfectly safe to use.

Note: While write support is safe in this version (a rewrite from
scratch of the NTFS support), it should be noted that the old NTFS
write support, included in Linux 2.5.10 and before (since 1997),
is not safe.

This is currently useful with TopologiLinux. TopologiLinux is run
on top of any DOS/Microsoft Windows system without partitioning your
hard disk. Unlike other Linux distributions TopologiLinux does not

Reusing mozilla instance on Fedora

> ## mozilla -remote "openURL($1, new-tab)" <-- Didn`t work. Why ?

For me it works (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5)
Gecko/20031007).

Digging around I found that there's also a 'ping' command that tests
for the presence of mozilla.

However, I'd like the KDE icon to open a new, empty mozilla; iow I
have no URL to give it. I can think of two ways of doing that: pass a
special URL (but which one? I tried 'blank:' wu=ithout success); or
send the event for File!New!Navigator Window, according to
http://wp.netscape.com/newsref/std/x-remote.html (but I can't find the
resource name for that action)...
