Redhat user login prob!
by Simon Jude 21 Feb '00

21 Feb '00

Hi, I have a slight problem in that when a user tries to login to my redhat 6.1 system they get kicked straight back to the login screen. Only the root user can login! How can I fix this?

Apache: Is this a bad trick?
by MJ Ray 21 Feb '00

21 Feb '00

Any apache gurus on the list, I've been doing some site development, and rather than have to tweak all the addresses, I added 127.0.0.2 sitename to the /etc/hosts file and defined 127.0.0.2 as a virtual host. I don't know why, but I feel that's a bad thing to do: is it?

Surftime
by Green J M K 16 Feb '00

Looks like BT may finally be getting the message: http://www.zdnet.co.uk/news/2000/6/ns-13373.html Question is, if BT could lower the Surftime price from 35GBP/month to compete with SurfUnlimited's 9.99GBP/month server (conditions apply), just how much profit did BT think they could make? Anyone know when Often are due to make their announcement about Surftime? Debian upgrades just become a little more realistic :-) James.

Did anyone else see The Money Program on BBC 2 last night?
by Adam Bower 15 Feb '00

15 Feb '00

If so what did you think? Didn't it sound as though some very devoted Linux guys took over the editing of the program? For those who didn't see it, well unfortunately it doesn't seem to look as though it will be repeated. But the article was around 20mins long and made comparisons between Linux and NT. They featured Powys council who have deployed Linux boxen as dial on demand routers/mail servers for their local community's drop in centre type things, and saying that they chose Linux as it's cheaper than NT and easier to support. They had interviews with Linus and they featured Linux Expo in New York (I think it was the one but it may of been some other Linux show in the States) They made a comparison between the cost of MS Office and StarOffice. They said about how IBM supports Linux, they featured Oracle, they had lots of other things I can't remember, But best of all they seemed to be saying that Win2K is a bit pants and that maybe you should consider Linux solutions instead of deploying expensive MS solutions. It was really cool it seemed as though they were trying to put a bit of a spoiler on the launch of Win2K and this was on British TV! It just goes to show how Linux support & advocacy has grown in the past year. If anyone does find that it will be repeated (maybe on News 24?) then let me know as I would like to see it again.

sendmail question
by Chris Glover 09 Feb '00

09 Feb '00

Hi peeps I have a sendmail problem. I have at home a network of 2 Windows PC's and an IP masquerading Linux gateway. The Linux box acts as an SMTP server for the rest of the network. This works ok excewpt, sometimes sending mail fails, as the receiving machine tries to look up gateway.glovercc.freeserve.co.uk. I know I'm being lazy here. When I do dial up with Freeserve, everything works fine, as they trap everything heading from a host to an SMTP server and process it themselves. I have recently started using ClaraNet. What I need to know, is how do I set up sendmail to caryy on receiving mail for my local network, but for any mail heading outside, to go via Claranet's SMTP server? I hope that made sense, as I'm sitting here at work at 3:15am, and it's not what I'd describe as concise :-) Any help grately appreciated.

Debian Install of Sendmail
by Green J M K 08 Feb '00

08 Feb '00

Hi there, I'm odds-on to take the plunge and install Debian (VA CD hi Gareth!) this weekend. Now I am paranoid about my mail. I was so paranoid about sendmail that rather than follow the instructions a fellow Demonite put up on the web, I instead downloaded a copy from another site for Demon. I have seen Debian installing before, asking about fetchmail, sendmail, god knows what else. That actually scared the sh*t out of me, since I've already had one install when sendmail bounced all my mail - I don't want that happening again. So, I can grab a copy of the .cf file as a backup, but what I need to know is what to say to the Debian installation to make sure mail works exactly how it does currently under RedHat 6.0. FWIW, I have a number of 'users' here accepting mail, such as 'webmaster', 'gnome', etc., all getting stored in /var/spool/mail/{user} Thanks, James Green [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

ALUG5
by John Woodard 02 Feb '00

02 Feb '00

As it's only 1 week to go before ALUG 5 is upon us I wondered has anybody posted an announce message to the UK Linux newsgroups? Who is coming and what are you bringing? There is a map posted on the ALUG web site http://www.anglian.lug.org.uk/meetings.html to help you find the hall. It might also be an idea if we could agree on IP addresses etc. before hand to save the normal ALUG tradition of a network frenzy for 50% of the meeting. :-) Cheers, BJ [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

Linux on a laptop: a request for help on Sunday
by John Woodard 02 Feb '00

02 Feb '00

I've got this Dell Latitude laptop PII366, 128MB RAM 4.6Gb hdd. I'm having trouble getting Linux on it due to its lack of CD-ROM drive. I have however got a PCMCIA external CD-ROM for it but I cannot get Linux to see the device at bootup. So far I've tried using the PCMCIA boot disk image that is supplied in the RH6.1 CD but despite finding the PCMCIA device (I know it accesses the CD drive because the damn thing spins up at the appropriate moment) no joy, I just get messages saying insert driver disk for the PCMCIA device and guess what the only drivers I've got are for Benevolent Bill's operating systems. I did think about dumping the install tree in the root of a DOS partition but when I tried that it wouldn't play ball throwing up about illegal characters in the file names such as <translation table> and such like? I'm bringing it on Sunday has anybody had any experience with this? If so I'd appreciate so help - it's definitely worth a beer to you.

SuSE/RedHat RPMS

Hi guys, Rather than torturing myself installing all the KDE Development tools, I am trying to locate the all-in-one package, KDK. I have only found KDK binary rpms for Suse 6.1/2, though. RedHat bins are no-where to be seen. So, is it safe to install and use the SuSE 6.1 rpm on a RedHat 6.0 system? Cheers, James.

Debian/Potato/Lilo/VMware problem
by Anthony_Sale＠proconassoc.co.uk 31 Jan '00

31 Jan '00

Adam I run SuSE 6.2 on a laptop with NT. I use the NT boot manager and when I change my LILO configuration I get the same problem. This occurs because I keep forgetting to copy the boot sector from my LILO boot partition to a file that NT Loader can read. When I forget to to this I get exactly the same response as you (Lil-) from LILO. To save the boot sector to a file for NT I do the following dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/mnt/ntc/linux.cnt bs=512 count=1 Where /dev/hda3 is the partition LILO is booting from and /mnt/ntc/linux.cnt is the file in the root of the NT boot partition.

I recently installed VMware 2.0Beta to use my hda1 partition with win98 on.(the reason I did this is that 1.1.2 vmware's networking caused kernel problems) Anyway everything worked fine but after an apt-get update/upgrade in the past few days the boot loader has stopped working in the Virtual Machine Lilo outputs Lil- . Now my question is that when I did the apt-get update/upgrade I noticed that I downloaded a new lilo that replaced my boot loader now has this totally screwed my Lilo config and means that If I reboot my machine It won't work? If so how do I create the necessary rescue disks and prepare for the worst? If I run lilo now it claims that all is well even with the verbose options. Can somebody give me some pointers as to what the problem is? as this may be a problem with the VMware Beta, but of course I don't want to reboot my machine if it isn't.

It arrived today! (SuSE 6.3)
by Martyn Drake 11 Jan '00

11 Jan '00

And I must admit to being extremely impressed not only with the amount of stuff included within the package (it comes on 6 CDs plus one freebie evaluation CD making 7 CDs in total as well as a whopping huge manual), but the manual is very readable too. I've asked whether it's possible to obtain a couple of extra sets for the group, or failing that, if they're offering any discounts. I'll keep you posted. As soon as we've got the next meeting in the bag you can be sure that I'll be struggling to carry all this stuff with me!

Corel Linux - Partitioning Problem
by Justin Jonas 07 Jan '00

07 Jan '00

Maybe one of you can sort out this one I have 3 hard drives in my machine. So when I did the install I went for the manual partition option rather than the take over my hard drive option don't want to delete the wrong drive!) I have a 2gb drive I wanted to setup Corel Linux on. So for my main partition I selected 1800mb (leaving 200mb for the swap partition) but the partition manager shows it as a 900mb partition. The same thing happened with the swap partition. It seems what ever I put in as my partition size gets halved. Anyone know what's going on?

Corel Linux
by John Woodard 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

Just installed Corel Linux from the PC Plus CD! It took me just 20 min to install to a KDE desktop that is actually quite user friendly. After all the hype/rhetoric documented install problems, I must say that I'm pretty impressed. This is a real step in the right direction for a realistic usable desktop solution. I'm sure that now a viable alternative to MS desktop OSs is just around the corner. I won't be ditching RedHat just yet though because I'm just getting comfortable with its foibles and idiosyncrasies but if I was to recommend a distro to a complete newbie it would have to be Corel flavoured. Just my 2pence worth. Any more info on the next meet?

leafnode and slrn problems
by xsprite＠bigfoot.com 04 Jan '00

04 Jan '00

Hi, I have just installed leafnode 1.9.4 from source on a slackware 7.0 box. All went fine, but whenever I use slrn to read news slrn seems to believe that all newsgroups are new newsgroups. Hence all subscriptions are lost and a screen full of new newgroups is presented. Any ideas why? Presumably leafnode after an amount of time will no longer consider certain newsgroups to be new?

More Debian Problems
by Adam Bower 03 Jan '00

03 Jan '00

Sorry guys I now have a couple more questions, all help and suggestions gratefully received. No. 1 I now have Exim working as my MTA but the reply-to on the header is listed as adamb@bagpuss (where adamb is my username and bagpuss the hostname) how do I fix this? No. 2 My sound card doesn't work :( (but the tv card does and looks better than it did in windows) I rebuilt the kernel as normal and built the driver in (es1370) and no sound, this used to work with all other distros but not Debian. If I cat /dev/sndstat I get device not found. Any ideas? I have also tried modularising sound in the kernel but no luck. No. 3 In enlightenment I use the scrollwheel button on my mouse to flip between desktops by adding the line ZAxisMapping 4 5 this worked before the upgrade to Potato and E16.3 but now nothing. I hope you all had a good new year, and I'm looking forward to the next alug when/where is it? somebody mentioned that it would be at Laurie's hotel again is this so?

Debian problems
by Adam Bower 02 Jan '00

02 Jan '00

Hi guys, Thought I'd get this question in before everyone gets hammered (or not as the case may be) tonight. I just update to Debian Potato with apt-get dist-upgrade (8 hours on dial-up) and I'm now having a couple of problems. The first is that when I upgraded it only downloaded kernel 2.2.12, why is this as I'm sure 2.2.13 was listed in the mirror and is there anyway to just apt-get the patch? the other main problem I'm having is with xdm when I exit the xserver, ps ax reports xdm as running but the svga server doesn't respawn leaving me with a blank logon screen. Also has anyone got recommendations for a MTA to use with Debian is exim any good? and what about news I figure I will be using slrn to read news but do I want to use suck or leafnode? is there anything better? If you can help guys I will be very happy as I may be able to wave goodbye to Windows 98 for the new year. Have a good time tonight whatever you do.

Apache guru wanted

Hi there, Anyone running apache with a domain name that has multiple sub-domains (Gareth->Linux.com, desktops.linux.com.... rings a bell)? I've got www.linuxnewbie.com working fine with documentroot pointing at /www/lnc, and I'd like to get my.linuxnewbie.com pointing at /www/lnc/my. Problem is very basic: my.linuxnewbie.com/images/ and my.lnc/whatever no longer work for obvious reason (unless I put horrible symlinks in). I gather this can be overcome with the RewriteEngine/RewriteRule directives, but Apache complains they're not recognised. This has to be a fairly basic thing to do. Anyone able to help?

RC scripts
by jg＠cyberstorm.demon.co.uk 13 Dec '99

13 Dec '99

Hi all, Since I'm coding LNC every day it makes sense to get apache going on boot. However, trying to get this going through RH6.0's rc scripts is proving less than entertaining :-( In /etc/rc.d/rc.local I have put the following in: if [-f /etc/rc.d/init.d/apache ]; then /etc/rc.d/init.d/apache start fi /etc/rc.d/init.d/apache appears to be the same as other init scripts but obviously catering for apache. The variable pointing at the executable is fine, but then I don't think this is the problem since I don't receive any messages whlie booting. In fact if I didn't know better, I would think that the code above isn't being executed whatsoever. Before you ask, ls -l /etc/rc.d/init.d/apache: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 504 Oct 8 23:46 apache Can anyone make sense of this?

Mandrake logon problems?

When I get to the standard logon prompt I input root and enter as usual but it doesn't give me a password prompt just another logon prompt, hence I can't get into the system. This is also the case with a normal user and when I try booting from a floppy instead of the hdd (lilo is on the mbr). I can get into a bash prompt by using lilo single but that still gets me nowhere, I tried changing the root password and running lilo again from there. Any ideas? Could the good folks at PC Answers have slipped us a lemon I wonder?

And of course a major blow for Linux on the UK Desktop. People picking this up to have their "chance" with Linux will install, become confused, confounded and depressed, and chuck "Linux" because it was crap. They may then present their experience to others and disuade them from installing it. The question is how many of these pour souls will think that the PC Answers disk is exactly the same as all Linux installs... I haven't seen PC Answers, but it sounds like they just didn't do their homework on it :( James Green [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

Floppies
by Green, James M K 23 Nov '99

23 Nov '99

Hi, There are distributions that fit onto a single floppy - just don't expect to do much with them... (search Freshmeat.net) They might not have bash (more used shell), and they certainly don't have X so you can forget about GNOME/KDE or WM/E/whatever. Quite whether your 386 machine will survive the month after december I haven't the foggiest, and you'd have to bear in mind that with 8Mb RAM you'll (AFAIK) be lucky to erun X no matter what distro you use. If I were you I'd grab RedHat from somewhere (any vers) and do a custom-install. That way you can cut out devel packages (gcc and the like), GNOME and KDE, Apache, Postgres and numerous other things you simply won't use and it should fit into 120Mb. I know it can be done - I know someone who did it. And FWIW, dual-booting is quite easy and comes up as as an option in the RedHat 5/6 installer.
