[SLE] Hosed MBR
by skoper＠mediaone.net 04 May '00

04 May '00

I was doing some work with gimp the other day, when the computer froze. There was nothing to do but press the reset button, and when it came back, the message indicated that the hard drive was no longer available (insert system disk and press enter). Can I get my hd back, or do I need to reformat and re-install? I can boot to the hard disk by using the boot disk that came with SuSE (6.3), so it's sort of usable, but I'd hate to have to clean the disk and re-install. I've updated a lot of packages, and it's the server for my home LAN.

[SLE] manpath?
by pras＠linux.ca 04 May '00

04 May '00

Everyday, I suspect after the cron daemon does its job, I see that 'manpath -q' takes up 90% of my CPU. It never stops running. I checked the man page for manpath and it just locates the directory of the man pages. Why does this just keep running non-stop and how do I fix this? Thanks.

[SLE] Bad idea to "pick on" a particular distribution
by hattons＠cpkwebser5.ncr.disa.mil 04 May '00

04 May '00

NOTE: This message is being e-mailed to info(a)redhatisnotlinux.org as well as to "suse-linux-e(a)suse.com" <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com>. Please RE to the SuSE list and let the RSN folks drop by and listen or participate as they like. I took a look at this site [ http://www.RedHatIsNotLinux.org ] because it was posted to the SuSE Linux mailing list. I agree with the spirit of what you are trying to accomplish, in so much as it regards the preservation of a free GLinux. (the 'G' may be silent as in "GNOME") I believe it is a bad idea to pick on any particular distribution. I have used SuSE for two very solid years. For the most part I am happy with SuSE, and I have the feeling they are on of the truer distributions in the OSS spirit. The has it's ups and downs. I have spilt blood over HP's WJA for (Red Hat) Linux. I have had the same type of experience with Corel's WordPerfect. In the latter case Corel was willing to assist the SuSE community in using their product with reasonably good results. The danger in naming Red Hat specifically is that it threatens to polarize the overall Linux community. I agree that RH has the potential of becoming the Microsoft of GLinux. To a large extent this is not their "fault". It's not RH who demands these vendors produce RH specific products. It seems to be more a combination of the traditional, one vendor of OS's, paradigm, as well as an ignorance on the part of the hardware vendor community as regards the overall GLinux community and market. I have never used RH, but I'm sure they produce a fine distribution. In the last century the Unix industry attempted to standardize on an agreed upon framework, and ended up with a heterogeneous plethora of Unix products that tend not to provide the interoperability promised by such an agreement. I would like to see the GLinux community accomplish what the Unix vendors failed to do. I don't believe singling out RH or any other distributor as the culprit will produce the sprit of trust and cooperation required to create a truly open GLinux platform. The problem arises that the GLinux distributors need some type of market differentiate to attract customers. If companies who distribute GLinux cannot make money, they will not survive. Finding the middle ground is not easy. It becomes more difficult when we start using antagonistic tactics. I humbly suggest you change the focus of your campaign away from an opposition to RH, and toward the goal of a truly open GLinux.

[SLE] ucd-snmp installation, or why Linux can't win...
by mark＠corridor.net 04 May '00

04 May '00

I installed the ucd-snmp from the ftp site but it did not include any of the standard mibs or directory structure as defined in the man pages. I then tried to install the source packages twice, and YAST says it completed but the source cannot be found on the machine. This is probably the single biggest reason Linux is not a viable replacement for the current paradigm in client computing. The documentation just doesn't cut it. Installation is incomplete with no followup help. There are no readily available methods of determining whether something is indeed installed on the system. In short, I have blown 6 hours screwing with this. The cost of that lost time begins to justify the extremely high cost of snmp solutions on other platforms, so it is no surprise to me that they continue to thrive. Am I missing something obvious or did I fail to offer the correct sacrifice this morning? What linux god to I need to grovel before this time?

[SLE] Using CVS
by moseley＠hank.org 04 May '00

04 May '00

This is way off topic, but I'll try. I'm trying to understand CVS. I've got the repository setup on the same machine I'm developing on so it's ready to go. I'm the only developer on this project, so I'm just using CVS for my own version control and too keep track of the state the software was in when it was installed on other machines. I have read 'info cvs', yet, but it hasn't soaked in yet, I'm afraid. Too much fun in my youth, perhaps. I'm really more curious how people use it day-to-day while developing, and then the process used to update some "live" site. Say I've got a CGI application that I'm working on with the following directory structure. ~/project_one/ cgi-bin <-- want under cvs control template <-- cvs, too config <-- cvs, too data <-- Don't want under CVS Here are my questions: 1) How do I put this project under CVS control? I don't want the data directory placed in CVS, which is very large. 2) and I'm unclear how to group all those directories as a single project under CVS. That is, how do I checkout a file from ~/project_one/cgi-bin and not from ~/project_two/cgi-bin. Yet, I don't want to have to checkout/checkin the entire project each time I make an update. 3) What is the checkout and checkin procedure? - Can I checkout just the cgi-bin directory? - Can I checkout just one file in one directory? 4) I have a "live" site running this project on a remote machine. On the remote machine I have two copies of the files: one for testing, and another for the "live" files. Is CVS a good way to move files from the repository to the live machine? Is this also a "checkout" or is there another way to move files? 4a) And, is there a way to do a remote checkout over SSH? Finally, I'd be curious on the general way people use CVS when developing. How often you checkin and such.

No It is not free (about $300NZD a month). They would not give me any information on the modem. All I got told was that the data gets sent down the phone line and returnning data comes back via satellite. The hardware alone is going to cost me $1100.00 + sales tax(%12.5)NZD. All the other isp wanted to charge me over $1000.00 a month + hardware on top.
