[SLE] MuPad and pty's
by JerryKreps＠alltel.net 31 Dec '99

31 Dec '99

Folks, I installed the version of MuPad found on the SuSE 6.3 CDs and registered my license to remove memory limitations. When I run MuPad from a xterm, it appears ok and seems to run ok, but gives the following error message: jerry@JLKreps:~ > xmupad jerry@JLKreps:~ > All pty's in use XView warning: invalid object (not a pointer), xv_get When I quit xMuPad I am returned to the xterm without blowing out of KDE and the Xwindow to the command line. But... If run MuPad by clicking xmupad in KFM or if I create a link on the KDE desktop xMuPad will run ok but when I quit I am blown out of KDE and Xwindows and back to the command line. The error msg claims that all pty's (pseudo tty's) are in use, but that doesn't seem to stop MuPad from running. Anyone know what the solution is?

Do you know how a sparse file is represented within the filesystem? Is there a particular indicator for sparse files? And where's a good place to read about sparse files? Thanks.

To be honest, I don't really know what the ident is for. I recently activated it, hoping it would solve (some of) the problem(s), but it didn't. Is identd responsible for reverse name lookups? > > Try to telnet to port 113 of your host. If you get an instant connection, > identd is less likely to be a problem. If it's blocked or waits a long > time, that probably is your problem. I conected to port 113. Nothing happens when I do nothing. If I type <ctrl>-D and [Enter], it returns a '0 , 0 : ERROR : UNKNOWN-ERROR' and disconnects. The syslogs says this: 'Dec 31 02:42:52 www identd[15313]: from: 212.187.108.92 (c187108092.telekabel.chello.nl) UNKNOWN REQUEST: ^[' Ergo: It CAN tell my hostname, but somehow it doesn't know what to do with it..? Then again, my syslog is full of things like: 'Dec 31 02:42:17 www popper[15317]: connect from 212.187.108.92'. The IP is actually c187108092.telekabel.chello.nl, mentioned in the message identd returned... This is a mystery to me.. Any suggestions? TIA!

[SLE] Joystick setup

I'd like to set up my new joystick and possibly try out a few games under Linux. I've never really had time for games on here, but with the new versions of Quake II and Loki Games planning to port more games I'd like to give it a try. Can someone point me in the right direction to find out how. Maybe a good howto somewhere? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darren R.
