Webcam and TV-card how do I switch?
by Olle Viksten 13 Feb '02

13 Feb '02

I have a Creative USB webcam and a Haupage TV-card. My problem is how to switch between them so I get the one I want to use. The TV-card is the one active in programs like xawtv and videodog most of the time. But if I boot into windows to use the webcam it is the one active when I boot into Linux the next time. The only way I've found to get the TV-card active again is to shut down, disconnect the webcam and restart. There must be a way to solve this. Probably something to do with /dev/video but I don't want to muck about with it without knowing what I do. Thankfull for any help.

inode-max
by Joost van der Lugt 13 Feb '02

13 Feb '02

The file inode-max is nowhere to be found in /proc anymore, however /usr/src/linux/Documentation/proc.txt still mentions the file: ---- The value in inode-max denotes the maximum number of inode handlers. This value should be 3 to 4 times larger than the value in file-max, since stdin, stdout, and network sockets also need an inode struct to handle them. If you regularly run out of inodes, you should increase this value. ---- main:~ # ls /proc/sys/fs/ . dentry-state file-max inode-state overflowgid .. dir-notify-enable file-nr lease-break-time overflowuid binfmt_misc dquot-nr inode-nr leases-enable main:~ # Thought I read somewhere this limit was now dynamic..., but confused because of the docs... Idea anyone? Thanks, Joost

RE: [SLE] Suse7.1, Nvidia Drivers freeze on KDE logout
by Chin Kwie Joe AJST (Armand) 13 Feb '02

Unfortunatelly i have the same problem with SuSe 7.2, Geforce3 and AMD Althon. Also manifested itself in SuSE 7.3 I can not even run Sax2! This is what i got so far. Help from SuSE: Update Sax2, hwinfo and pam_devprm; all rpm from suse. Add all users to the 'video' group. (Does not work for me) >From the net: Add 'mem=nopentium' add the boot line. The first time i used this it worked. Thereafter never! If you have 2 memory modules, remove one. and check if that is the problem. The first time i used this it worked. Therafter never! So still no results.

Weird problem with sftp
by Praise 13 Feb '02

13 Feb '02

Hi all, I have a very weird problem with sftp. I have to computers in a network and I want to use sftp between them. sftp is working but only when I use it with my account. If my mother tries to do that, she receives "Received message too long 1147215983" error message. On the server side, logs does not indicate anything strange. The number is always the same. On both the client and server side I have: root@main:/home/praise > rpm -q openssh openssh-2.9.9p2-73 How do I avoid this problem? Praise

Re: Emulate real ip's to access intranet hosts from outside
by Ramon Acedo 13 Feb '02

13 Feb '02

Hi again! Thanks for your quickly answers, I think I hadn't explained enough clearly in the first mail. The problem is the following: I have a SINGLE public ip with an associated domain. In that host I have a DNS server, mail server, web, etc. The important point is at the DNS. What i'd like to do is that the firewall forward all the packets independently of the destiny port, which can be any, to a host of the intranet with a private ip. The rule for decide which packets go to what host in the intranet is the name that the client refered to. Example: when I do a ftp to ftp.mydomain.net my DNS server would forward the request to the host 192.168.1.10. I'd like to have a map like this: ftp1.mydomain.net ---> 192.168.1.10 ftp2.mydomain.net ---> 192.168.1.50 www1.mydomain.net ---> 192.168.1.12 www2.mydomain.net ---> 192.168.1.33 and so on But Actually in the internet all that names lookup to 213.1.2.3 and of course the 192.168.x.x is never seen from the internet I know that apache can manage vhosts and I could redirect to a intranet host all the web traffic coming to www2.mydomain.org, the same can be done with wu-ftp or proftp where u can have multiple domains/dubdomains and have different ftp root directorys depending on the name the client used to contact it, and then I could set that roots pointing to nfs mounted directories of the internal net, but what I'd like is that all the traffic forward would depend on the name used by the client. As I said it's not a port forwarding matter it would be a program which could manage domain name vhosts and do some kind of bridging / forwarding to the intranet depending on the name the client reffered. So the idea is to emulate lots of real ips with just 1 public ip and 1 domain with all the subdomains I'd need. Uh! I hope to have been clear enough this time, my English is not perfect (I'm Spanish) so please let me know if u got the idea, ok? Thanks a lot guys! Ramon Acedo
