smbmount hangs
I am using smbmount to mount a remote drive and it works well except in our large data folders. These folders have roughly 2500 data files in them. If I try any of the following commands in these mounted directory the prompt just hangs and nothing happens for many minutes (using dos lanman or Nt the listing is almost instanteous). ls ls *.raw cp *.raw ~/ more specific commands appear to work reasonably quickly ls c0.raw cp c0.raw ~/ Using smbclient I don't have any problems. I use the following command to mount the samba share smbmount sharename /home/username/sgi -U username -C -P password using debian 2.0.38 kernal I think. Go easy on me I'm only a Linux novice and am still learning all the commands. cheers matt cocker
pine 4.1 on debian slink
There is a termcap compatibility lib in the old libraries section of slink packages which has the termcaplib and a termcap file. I installed that and then the downloaded the linux binaries from the pine homepage. Pine 4.10 works on my slink system cheers Matt Cocker
Kernel 2.2.1
I finally got up enough courage to upgrade to 2.2.1 and compile my own kernel. Well compiling the kernel was actually pretty painless, except that I tried to compile everything into the kernel the first time and made a huge kernel. The second time I took my time and moved lots of stuff to modules. The result was a small kernel and no zip. After moving all the files for zip access to the kernel (as mentioned in the digest archives) I was fully operational. Has any one managed to get a zip working from modules. Automatic modules loads at boot time failed as did manually loading the modules after booting up. Is there a bug in the ppa modules or is it somewhere else? Cheers Matt
netscape and mozilla just stop
With either kernel 2.0.34 (debian install) or 2.2.1 (my own little baby) I am having troble with netscape 4.5 and mozilla (.deb packages in slink). Netscape 4.5 often cuts out (xload goes from lots of green to nothing) when reloading pages. The following two pages always crash netscape http://wxnet4.nbc4.com/cgi-bin/scrCapDoppler1/ won't even load page before is crashes (moving to mozilla fixed this problem) and http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-user-9901/threads.html both netscape and mozilla load this page (or any of the monthly pages) and if I follow any of the threads, say the first one on the page (url below) it will load the page ok. http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-user-9901/msg0.html However if I now press the back button the treads.html page will partically load then netscape or mozilla will lock up (xload drops to zero). Now as this is a linux box I can just kill the process and start again but it is getting to be annoying. Does this happen to anyone else or is it something funny with my machine like a missing library (both these pages work flawlessly with mac nav4.5 and NT4.0 nav4.5?). Lastly when I try to change the preferences in mozilla I keep getting these Netscape:subprocess diagnostics (stdout/stderr) dialog boxes keep popping up saying that something of of class XmList or Xmform etc crashed etc. Is this because there is already a .netscape in my user directory from netscape which is incompatible with mozilla. cheers matt

Gnome programs crash
After installing gnome programs from slink, the programs won't run. I get the following error message gnome-session: error in loading shared libraries /usr/lib/libgnome.so.31: undefined symbol: poptHelpOptions Any ideas cheers matt
gnome
Thanks for all the emails I received about GNOME. In the end I got the debian slink 0.3 version going and liked it so much I promptly deleted it and went and got the gnome1.0 tar balls and compiled a new version. It only took me a couple of days (not bad considering I have never compiled my own programs before and screwed it up the compile order a couple of times). Gnome is GOOD! Cheers Matt
Is Linux addictive?
Linux should have to be distributed with a surgeon generals warning about the possible addictive nature of Linux. cheers matt
program can not load colors
since upgrading from hamm to slink one of my progams (XPMA) can no longer display colors and gives the following error message. ATOMTYP COLOURS(r,g,b): GR 31 .500 .500 .500 ATOMTYP COLOURS(r,g,b): PT 32 .800 .800 .800 ATOMTYP COLOURS(r,g,b): S 33 .800 .750 .000 ATOMTYP COLOURS(r,g,b): Q 34 .800 .800 .800 ATOMTYP COLOURS(r,g,b): C 35 .000 .250 .700 ATOMTYP COLOURS(r,g,b): H 36 .000 .800 .800 ATOMTYP COLOURS(r,g,b): N 37 .120 .840 .400 xinit: could not allocate colors 0 to 10 Is this because these codes are not defined in my rgb.txt file or is it something else? Any ideas on how to fit problem (unfortunately the developer of the program died last year so needless to say support from him is not possible). cheers Matt
kernel upgrade
I installed hamm on my machine, but have since upgraded to slink (using dselect) and kernel 2.2.1. Problem is I have just got this error message: >Whoa, something is wrong with the system include files on your machine! The file is for a 2.0.36 Linux system but you are running a 2.2.1 kernel. This will not work for building the VMware device drivers; you must have include files that match the version of your operating system.< So I had a look around my /usr/include/linux directory sure enough the version.h file looks like this #define UTS_RELEASE "2.0.36" #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 131108 in /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.1/include/linux/ I have the correct version.h file #define UTS_RELEASE "2.2.1" #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 131585 #define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c)) can I just copy the correct version.h file to /usr/include/linux. All the files in /usr/include/linux have creation dates that match the compile date of the kernel. What about the rest of the files in /usr/include/linux, should I check them all or is the make install suppose to place everything where it is suppose to go. I also have a kerneld.h with the orginal hamm creation date should I delete it. Thanks for your help Cheers matt cocker
VMware again
The install script for vmware installs a /etc/rc.d/init.d directory with a vmware init script for setting up and loading the required modules. When I reboot my box the vmware moddules did not load. My guess is if I make a link from /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware to /etc/init.d/vmware things should start automatically. Is this correct or should I move the vmware scripts to normal debian places? Cheers Matt
