Wine.
by Fred A. Miller 02 May '03

02 May '03

Recently, I helped a buddy of mine install 8.2 on a dual AMD Tyan box in Texas......spent a lot of time from here on the phone with him. He prefers Agent for mail, and I have to admit its a GREAT app. He used the below site as reference to setup Agent under Wine ON HIS OWN (NOT knowing Linux at all!). I'm posting it here as there may be someone else who could use this info. Fred http://www.oliversampson.com/computer/#Agent -- "DRM.. Digitally Retarded Media.

I use the free domain server ods.org and just this morning discovered that name servers from several different locations can no longer resolve my domain name or ods.org. Has anyone else experienced this? Sorry for OT post, but I don't have any other groups to ask. Jim

Yast2 crash, now system halts or no keyboard.
by Digital Cowboi 02 May '03

02 May '03

I'm a Linux newbie. But I've had some shitty experiences which are making me quite aware of how Linux works. (So this is good, I guess... :) my system: dual boot via LILO. SUSE 8.0 and Win2000pro Kernel 2.4.18-4GB. Pentium PIII, i686 architecture. Laptop. 5300 Gateway. Linux 3.3GB partition with 376.5 MB swap. RAM: 196MB Two days ago, I tried installing a USB mouse and while using Yast2, the system halted. After this point, the system almost always halted at boot and even when I got to a terminal window or a kde login prompt (I tried both), my keyboard and mouse failed to work. Yesterday, after spending 5 or more hours trying to get my system repaired, I reinstalled the system since it was easier for me to do this than figuring out the problem. Strangely, the first reinstallation didn't take. xdm failed, as did the keyboard. (both were fine during install.) As of this morning, I've got my system running again. Twice now with Yast2, while configuring something, the system has halted and I lose the use of my keyboard the next time I boot. I've reinstalled both times. I suspect it is either a corruption of the X.o file which the kernel uses initiate the keyboard at boot or a flaw in the configuration file which points to this file. Can someone please tell me where these files for my keyboard are? I assume from LILO I can specify another keyboard until I reinstall the proper module? (I am a newbie...) I would be very appreciative if someone could provide an explanation and possibly tell me what I should be fixing in the future. thank you for your time and patience with a newbie sincerely, h.s.wetherell

Apache HTTPD consuming 97% proc?
by jrn＠oregonhanggliding.com 02 May '03

02 May '03

Hello again: I noticed today for the first time an HTTPD process consuming 97% processor as reported by TOP. I did an apachectl restart and the problem is corrected. Has anybody run into this? What might be the cause? I check logs to see if I was getting slammed with some DoS but saw never spectacular and net speed felt normal. Any ideas? -Jim-

Responsible corporate behavior through OSS use
by Rich3800＠aol.com 02 May '03

02 May '03

I found this fascinating article on how to change corporate behavior. I'm just wondering about how to implement it when a shareholder votes by proxy. And since this group is about Linux, how to encourage more responsible financial behavior through saving money by the use of open source/Linux. http://www.divinerightofcapital.com/change.htm

starting apache 1 @ boot time
by Sourian 02 May '03

02 May '03

Hi list! I want to start apache at boot time. Where do I have to change? In redhat I had a thing called services where I could specify which services should run. I cannot find it here. I understood that I need to make an entry for apachectl in a script rc.local, but I cannot find it :(. Another question: is apache 1 (from Suse 8.2) coming with php 4 preinstalled? I have started apache 2 and there was no php at all :(. Thank you, Sourian

what packages are needed to get apache and php running on 8.2?
by MaC 02 May '03

02 May '03

Hi, Sorry for the vague subject, I've just installed 8.2, and so far I'm impressed, its got a few niggles, but then so has all the distros, the main thing I'm finding hard is the different package names (the SuSE names don't always make sense to me at times), and configuration layout, I'm comming from a redhat background, which I have been using since 6.2, so I'm kinda still stuck in their way of doing things and certain programs are preconfigured, apache+php being one, (upgraded to rh 9, and its very slow, nfs/nis keeps crashing, alot of programs just don't work, evolution keeps bombing, glibc issues, blah!, blah!). Anyway, can anyone possably advise me on what packages I actually need to get php running on either apache 1.3 or apache 2 (1.3 is currently installed), also quickly looking at httpd.conf it seems that it is setup for php files, except that apache just displays the directory listing of the file, without actually parsing it, which would indicate that either php is broken, missing or not configured correctly :) I currently have apache 1.3 and phplib installed, which looking at the rpm description, seems to be what I would need The machine I'm running it on is a workstation, on a private segregated network, so securing apache isn't really an issue here, its only for some development work anyway and localhost usage.
