but when I try to compile ANY of the QT apps, using the command line:

g++ -I/usr/local/qt/include -L/usr/X11R6 -lqt filename.CC

I get an error message about a whole bunch of undefined references...

Can anyone help me out?

Howdy Matt,

You can login as user ROOT, or you can run the 'su' program from the 
bash$ like this:

bash-2.01$ su root rootpassword

su works like this:  su username userpassword, on my system, use the su 
command like this:

bash-2.01$ su root root

This logs you in as user root. After you have gotten the mount 
successful, exit and return to normal user mode by typing 'exit' from 
the bash$

Hope this helps,

Brant

cpu used too much...

Howdy Y'all

I'm a VB Programmer trying to pick up on Linux & C++...  When a program goes
into a loop, like when a program crashes, the computer will act strange...
Things will be extremely slow, or will not work, etc...  If you check with 'top'
& see what's eating up your cpu, like Andrei suggested, make sure you know what
the process is that is eating up the cpu time... If you are not familiar with
it, see what others may know....

Hope This Helps,

Try adding the 'mount' commands into the /root/.bash_profile  (.bash_profile is 
the
autoexec file in each user's HOME Directory...But only the root user, or one

Hope this helps,

There is a way to set up an "autoexec.bat" kindof thing in Debian, based on each

are
using the bash shell.

Kernel 2.2.3 & Kernel Panic...

1999-04-05 Thread Brant Wells
Howdy All!

I've been working with installing the Kernel 2.2.3, and I have a
problem... After I run the 'make menuconfig' and then 'make clean; make
dep; make install'... I then make a boot file for the NT Boot Manager...
When I get the NT Boot Manager to go to Linux, Everything works fine,
until it comes time to mount the hard drive... I get a MSDOS FAT 12...
yada yada yada... Then I get:

Kernel Panic.  Unable to mount the root partition on 16:05

I have DOS Fat support turned on, and the VFAT support is turned on...
The MSDOS Fat is not set (It doesn't work even if it is set)I have
SCSI & PPA enabled for my ZipDrive

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Brant


Re: Kernel 2.2.3 & Kernel Panic...

1999-04-05 Thread Brant Wells
Howdy All...

My Linux box is running on an ext2 partition.

I use 'make install' , because it automatically makes the necessary changes for
me, plus the fact that the last time I tried 'make zImage', it wiped out my
Hard Drive when I installed it.

I just went back and looked at the setup in 'menuconfig'  I see absolutely
nothing about Ext2 under the FileSystems tab I do have enabled, Second
extended fs...

When you use zImage, what do you do after it makes the zImage?? Move the file
to the /boot directory?

Thanks, Brant.

What DO you lose with Linux

1999-04-06 Thread Brant Wells
Howdy all...

I saw a message in this thread pass by a couple of days ago...  It was
talking about some software called VMWare.  Http://www.vmware.com

Anyone that has a PC with Linux & Win 9x/NT installed needs to see this
site.  I've downloaded the software for Linux (still in the first beta
stages), but it works,and works well.  It allows you to run Linux & Win
9x/NT on the same PC at the same time!

I've got a Pentium 200 MMX system, with 48 megs of ram... Linux runs the
Vmware program, that runs NT 4.0... While under VMWare, NT runs a little
slower, but it is still VERY usable.  I reccommend this program to
anyone who has Linux & Win on the same machine, and a fast computer (A
Pentium II 233/266 w/32 megs of ram would be nice).


See Ya,
Brant

I need linux to be able to share files, etc...  Can anyone help me?

RE: Installing Debian and WinNT4.0

1999-01-06 Thread Brant Wells
Hey Tom!

How are you?

I got NT & Linux to work like this:

Boot up linux, and log in as Root

get to a command prompt

when you have, type the following:  

dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/dev/fd0/lnxboot.sec bs=512 

replace /dev/hda2 with the boot partition for linux (usually hda2, I 
think...)

Set WindowsNT to boot, and crank it up, Logon as Administrator (or with 
Administrator Privs...) 

open up a dos window, and remove all the attributes of the file 
C:\Boot.ini

then, make a folder on your c-drive and put the file from the 
(lnxboot.sec) in this folder...Example...

from dos window,

attrib C:\Boot.ini -s -h -r
md C:\LinuxBoot
copy a:\lnxboot.sec C:\Linuxboot


after you have done this, then edit the boot.ini file...
The quickest thing to do, is add one line...It should look something 
like this:

C:\LBOOT\LNXBOOT.SEC="Debian Linux!"

then save the file...

Exit the dos prompt, and reboot the computer...
When the WinNT boot screen comes up, you should see a choice that says 
whatever you put in, like "Debian Linux!"  Just select it, and press 
enter...  If all goes well, and is done correctly, then your Linux 
System Will boot...

Let me know if this works...
Brant Wells.

Downloading & Installing WP8....

1999-01-06 Thread Brant Wells
Howdy Y'all

I just downloaded the WordPerfect 8 GZ file from the Corel Ftp site...
I downloaded the single part version (I saved the file as WordP8.gz)

When I go to unzip it (using gzip -d), I get an error saying that the 
file is not a GZipped file...I downloaded it with Netscape 4.5 (which 
thank God installed flawlessly...)  

What should I do?

Thanks,
Brant

Why WordPerfect won't run....

1999-01-07 Thread Brant Wells
Howdy Y'all

My WP8 installed correctly, but I am unable to execute it for some 
reason... If I start an X-Term session, I get a command not found 
error... :(

It doesn't matter who I log in as, it won't run, even if I go to the 
folder that it is installed in...

For reference, I am running the Bash shell prompt (default?)..


Thanks again...

1999-01-26 Thread Brant Wells
Howdy y'all :)

Sorry I've been off the air for so long (I've been waiting for my debian 
Cd's to get here).. I finally got them :)

Okay here's the scoop... I was running kernel 2.0.32, and I custom 
compiled 2.0.34 for sound using make menuconfig...Here's the problem...

Under kernel 2.0.32, I could issue a mount command, such as 

mount /dev/hda1 /ntpart  

and it would mount the the Fat16 partition just fine, or the CDROM...

Now, under 2.0.34, I have good sound... but I can't mount my fat16 
partition or my cdrom... I get the 'you must specify partition type'... 
I try vfat for the /dev/hda1 , and it tells me it is not supported...

Re: I really need some help!

1999-02-06 Thread Brant Wells
Hey Nuno!

How are you?  

Log in to your Linux system as root.

Then run the dselcect to install the packages (libs, etc..)

When you get into dselect, go to the packages list, and then press the / 
key.  Then, you can search for the libs that it is missing, like for 
xpm, or libg++, etc. (You don't have to use the version #, just the 
first few letters)...Press the \ key, to see if there are any more 
matches to what you are looking for... For the qt libs, you need to go 
to http://www.troll.no/dl
and there you'll find the qt libs.  

>Some of the libs asked for are: xpm, libg++27, libjpegg-dev, 
>and 
>something like qp something.

Hope this helps.

What you can do, is take the firewall and map a specific port to the IP address 
of one
of the local machines... I'm not familiar with the Linux Firewall (yet), but 
I'm sure
you can map something like port 23 to IP address 192.168.0.110 or something like
that.  I ran behind a home firewall like that for a while (for incoming 
telnet...)...
That should work under Linux as well.

Re: xhosts question..

Howdy Allen:

In your $HOME direcotry, edit the file .xinitrc

In this file somewhere should be a line that says something like:
xhost + blablabla.

If you have no need for security (in a small home network like mine...) you can 
just
add in:

xhost +

and and that should solve the problem.

I think you may have to be root to run xhost.  I'm not sure.

What happens, is I can telnet to the system(ie: telnet 192.168.0.115),
and it will say 'Connected' but it will never show the login prompts.
However,. if I am connected to the net, it works without a problem..

You need to start up a   xterm  session after you run startx.  Do this by going 
into

manager
(usually the last line) to the effect of

xterm&

and then try to run those programs after you get into X.

Okay...  Here's the deal...  I've got the same IBM 360Cs up and running in

Just a quick hint for downloading files... If you click on a link to

link as.  While I'm running Linux, I have just made it a habbit to right

I don't use FVWM so I can't help you configure it. I'm fond of IceWM,
which would probably work well under your hardware constraints (it's
fairly lightweight). I never liked the mouse at the edge of the screen
popping over to the next virtual desktop -- rather change desktops with a 
pager. But, heh, Linux is about choice!

Out of all the WM's for Linux, I like KDE the best, but when I'm installing 
a system, or a small one like this, IceWM is by far the best!! Right On :)


When I run the XF86Setup prog, I don't get any display at all.  The screen 
goes black while it switches graphics mode, and then, all I get is 
nothing... I can't CTL+ALT+BKSPC to get back to my command prompt, or 
anything... I have to reset the computer :(


I like XVidTune :)... If I could see it... (grin)  Any ideas(?)


I appreciate the help :)

Thanx,

Re: XF86 probs on IBM Thinkpad 360Cs

1999-10-21 Thread Brant Wells

Hey :)


 Sorry, I'm not much of an X'pert. However, if X runs after configuring
 with xf86config, then you can still run xvidtune. Haven't a clue if
 that'll help your problem though.

Re: Need help for x window

1999-10-21 Thread Brant Wells

From: jh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>



Hi. I have recently installed the x packages from cd. When I type startx I
receive:

Could not find file!
Tried
/root/xf86config
/etc/x11/ef86config
/usr/x11r6/lib/x11/xf86config.debian
/usr/x11r6/lib/x11/xf86config

Fatal server error:
No config file found!



My question is how do I find and properly install xf86config? I'm pretty
sure that I installed all the x packages in dselect. Could someone help me
in layman's terms?

Thank you all very much.

Jeff
Have you tried running xf86config, or XF86Setup?  One of these is on your 
computer, if you installed X right ;)

Re: small dselect question

1999-10-21 Thread Brant Wells



Hi. If I just want to install 1 program from dselect, would I want to go
through and put an = sign by the programs that are currently installed so
it doesn't have to go through all the files when installing? I hope this
question makes sense.


If you know exactly where the .deb package is, you can skip making it have 
to go through all the programsGo to the directory where the .deb file 
is, and type:


dpkg -i debianpackagefilename.deb

and it should install the package.  If it comes up with errors, then I 
reccmmend using dselect, otherwise, it should be fine.

You don't have to make your own file... run the xf86config (and it IS case

XFRee86 3.3.2(.3-2) on an IBM Thinkpad 360

1999-10-21 Thread Brant Wells

Hi.

I need help...!!

I have an IBM ThinkPad 360Cs, 165 meg hard drive, and 8 megs of ram.

I installed XFree86 3.3.2(.3-2).  If I tried to run the XF86Setup, the 
screen would go blank, and the only way I can get it back is to reboot my 
computer.  If I do the CTL+ALT+BKSPC, I get the command prompt, but I can't 
see anything anymore.  The only way for me to get video back is to reboot 
the computer.  (I've tried the Fn+F7 trick)...


Anyway, I used XF86Config, and configured my IBM Thinkpad 360 monitor as a 
Starndard VGA (640x480) monitor @ 60hz... I set the defaults to 8 bit color, 
and 640x480 resolution...Using the SVGA server (3.3.2.3-2)...


The screen comes up, but it looks like it has been shifted too far left and 
too far down.  As I move the mouse around on the screen, I can see two mouse 
cursors... One that is where it should be, and the other that has been 
'wrapped' around the screen.  if I move my mouse to the right, it comes back 
over to the left a short piece, and then stops (like it hit the edge of the 
screen...).  Same thing if I move the mouse up or down.


I have tried the tpdualscan.elf (this may not be the place to post this...), 
and I get an error saying cannot execute binary fileAnd I haven't been 
able to find the libsmapidev packages (debian or rh...)


Can anyone help me??

TIA,
Brant

Subject: Can't boot from floppies - HELP!
Date: Fri, 22 Oct 1999 14:18:53 -0600 (MDT)


I'm trying to boot from the Debian rescue disk to install linux for the
first time.  I have an adaptec AIC-7890 scsi card, so I was typing

linux aix7xxx

to boot.
After the kernel loads, I get the following after the scsi driver loads:

sda: sda1, sda2
sdb: sdb1
[MS-DOS FS Rel. ...
[me=0x0, ...
Transactions block size = 512
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00
***

Hey Jake...

Just out of curiosity, where did the disks come from, and what kind of 
partition have you got on your hard disks now?



On your Debian CD, or an FTP site, there should be a folder called Install 
(on my cd..) or something like that... (it is accessible from dos/win)...If 
your computer supports booting from the CD, I recommend that you do that.


Otherwise, in the Install folder, there's a bunch of files, and some 
documents on how to make the boot floppy used for installation...


If you are using those disks, then here's another idea... Make you a Dos, or 
Windows Boot Disk, then, from windows, copy the following files off of the 
install folder on the CDROM (ftpsite..) onto the floppy:


boot.bat
linux
root.bin
loadlin.exe


Then boot off of your Dos/Windows boot disk, and then insert the disk that 
you put the listed files on... then run the boot.bat file Try that and 
see what happend ;)




Hope This Helps,

Thanks for your words of advice. I have been running xf86config and
rerunning it but I can not nail down my monitors horiz and vert sync rates. 
I keep getting a messed up screen. So I remove xmd and try again. I have run 
searches on the net, (with another computer but can't find and info on my 
monitor, it's an older vga) I'm shooting in the dark but I would hope that 
eventually I will hit the mark.


Jeff

Hey :)  Post your monitor type here, and maybe someone else can help you.  
Just for the sake of mentioning it... There should be a sticker on the back 
that lists at least the base Horz & Vertical Frequencies(it may be a long 
shot...)  Here's an even longer shot... If you need the company that made 
the monitor to tell you, you should be able to find an FCC id search page, 
and get the # off of your monitor


What kind of monitor have you got?  I run a small computer business, so I 
may be able to get the specs for ya, if all else fails...

Hi Brant. It is a Micron model M14FG. It says on back: 115/230V/1A, 60/50hz. 
I have tried manually entering 60 for the horiz and 50 for the vert. I have 
tried selections that were preconfigured at 60 and 50. I feel like I have 
tried most of the combinations listed. I know the info on my vid card so I 
do not think that is the issue. One question I have is during the install of 
debian, the install screen was at first in full color, as if it was in some 
kind of window, doesn't that indicate that the program has some basic 
settings that would work for my monitor? I'm wondering if I should go with 
another distribution.


--

I'm not sure if its a Debian problem or what... I'm going to be trying 
Mandrake on my IBM 360 I've been posting about... In the mean time, I'll see 
if I can dig up some specs on that monitor.


It could be an XF86 compatibility problem... That's what I'm looking at 
now

Re: any need to upgrade kernel

1999-10-27 Thread Brant Wells

Hi :)


I am running slink with kernel 2.0.36.  Is there any advantage to upgrading 
the kernel.  If so, which kernel would be best?


Or shall i just leave the kernel alone as things are working fine..
---

(Anyone reading this, please correct me...)

Upgrading the Kernel depends on what you need...  The newer kernels suppport 
newer hardware, and have new features.  I've heard that if you want to 
upgrade, 2.2.10 is the best.  I'm about to try it, because I'm having a few 
problems of my own w/ kernel 2.2.1.


Upgrading also depends on how good you are @ following step by step 
instructions.  There should be docs and everything with it... Seeing as I 
don't know how well you work with linux, I would say that if you try it, 
make yourself a rescue disk first!!  (I just got mine un fried, thanx to a 
boot disk!)...

Apache & Listening on another IP...

Hi all

I have apache installed on my Linux boxI need to get apache to listen on 
another ip address in order to be my web server... Can someone tell me how 
to do that?


TCP/IP is working. This is a home network, btw  My main Server, DaHouse 
is running windows 2000, with the dialup connections shared.  Linuxbox (my 
computer while it's running Debian) has the Apache web server.  How can I 
make Apache listen to the IP address of DaHouse?

Re: Booting from floopy slow

1999-11-06 Thread Brant Wells

Howdy:



I installed Debian slink in a second hard drive, which is hdb1 (there
are hda1 to hda4), my system does not allow booting from a slave hard
drive, so I use the floppy system, but it is very slow. What can I do to 
accelerate it?



This is what I've had to do...  in your /etc/lilo.conf, edit the line that 
says boot=/dev/hdb1 (or whatever..)


and change it to say /dev/fd0 (your first floppy disk)...  Then save the 
file, insert a blank disk.  After that, just type lilo from   your command 
prompt.  On my computer, /etc/lilo.conf looks like this...


boot=/dev/fd0
root=/dev/hdb1
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map vga=normal
delay=20
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only

then, when I run the lilo command, it looks like this:

LinuxBox:~# lilo

If you have a blank disk in the floppy, it should say something like "Added 
Linux *" or something like that.  Then, the next time you reboot, use the 
floppy you just made, to start linux...


Hope this helps,

Brant

Hey Chris:

Just for reference, have you checked the lights on the Cards, to see if 
they come on (* a light on the hub should also come on...)?  Check the 
hub, and make sure the fan inside is working.  Also, change the ports on 
the hub as individual ports tend to go bad from time to time...

You may also want to find someone with a cable tester to check the 
cables to the hub.  

What kind of Hub are you running (3com?)?  Depending on what kind of hub 
you have, there may be a port marked as "Uplink" or something like 
that...  Plug your Linux box into that port (seeing as it looks like 
your Linux box will be the dial up for the internet)...

Is any of that any help??  Let me know...
