awk command on text files
by g.lams＠itcilo.org 02 Mar '05

02 Mar '05

Hi all, I've a lot of text files like the one you can see at the end of my mail (starting with Message-ID). I need to import parts of those messages into mysql: Message-ID, Subject, From, Newsgroups, and the text which is in html. I want to first create the text files containing only the information I want to import and then import them in mysql Using "awk '$1~/Message-ID/ || $1~/Subject/ || $1~/From/ || $1~/Newsgroups/ ' 4060bb67.txt > txt1.awk". I'm able to take the first fields and using "awk ' /<body>/,/<\/body>/ ' 4060bb67.txt > text2.awk" the text in html but when I try one unique command it just doesn't work. Any idea? Is there perhaps a more elegant way of doing the same thing?

Two Problems: Part 1: Apache2
by Sylvanus A. Currie 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

I am having trouble with my Apache2 installation on SuSE 9.2 "rcapache2 status" reports that it is running but when I connect to "localhost:80/" I get the following messages in konqueror: "An error occurred while loading http://localhost:80/:" *and* "Connection to host localhost is broken." In firefox, no messages are displayed but neither is the page, although the page title is shown in the tab bar correctly My "access_log" is empty and my "error_log" only shows the following: >>> arizona:/var/log/apache2 # tail error_log [Mon Feb 28 20:30:49 2005] [warn] child process 13382 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM [Mon Feb 28 20:30:49 2005] [warn] child process 12311 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM [Mon Feb 28 20:30:54 2005] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption: 0x08469160 *** [Mon Feb 28 20:31:32 2005] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec2) [Mon Feb 28 20:31:32 2005] [warn] Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache] Destroying config 0x80f5b38 Creating new config (0x80f9108) for (null) [Mon Feb 28 20:31:36 2005] [notice] mod_python: Creating 32 session mutexes based on 150 max processes and 0 max threads.

Sometimes Linux makes me crazy.
by contiemilio＠virgilio.it 01 Mar '05

Hi all I just bought a notebook for my daughter (Dell Inspiron 510m). Tested with Knoppix 3.7 (wonderful) Tested with FreeSBIE 1.0 (see above). Then, yesterday in the afternoon, I tried to install SuSE 9.1: yast did not start in graphical mode or with incredible colours and characters if I changed the screen resolution on boot. Since I am quite curious I tried SuSE 9.2 (same result), Mandrake 10.0 (same result), SuSE 8.2 (WORKS FINE!!) Is there anyone thet can explain to me such a behaviour Ciao emilio

An apology to the list
by Kevanf1 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

I have only just found out that this list does not like Gmail. I have been replying to what I believed were messages on the list. It turns out that I have been replying to individual list members. I'm not a wet behind the ears newbie to mailing lists so for once this is not my fault. I have been hitting the 'reply' tab in Gmail expecting the reply to go to the list as it normally should. Well, in Gmail it doesn't. So be warned everybody. -- Take care. Kevan Farmer 34 Hill Street Cheslyn Hay Staffordshire WS6 7HR

Hi, I have just installed SuSE 9.2 PostgreSQL 8.01 RPMs from: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/postgresql/postgresql-8.0.1 Unfortunately, PostgreSQL seem to be not running... Calling rcpostgresql or /etc/init.d/postgresql scripts return nothing for start, stop, restart, etc. Like nothing happen. Anyone have an idea what might be wrong? Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). ************************************************ *** with best regards *** Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) *** Mac, Linux, DTP, Programming Web Site *** *** http://snow.prohosting.com/guru4mac/ ************************************************

ALSA question
by Hans du Plooy 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

Hi all, At home I have a Soundblaster Live. This card can handle multiple audio streams, for example, I can listen to music, and the kde plings and plongs will still sound, and if someone phones me on skype, it will ring while the music is playing. At work, I have an old Soundblaster 128, which doesn't have this functionality in hardware. I know arts does this, but arts always lag (ever tried to watch a movie with sound going through arts?), and not all sound apps can talk to arts. I also know that ALSA can handle this. I've seen it done, but for all the things I've tried, I can't get it to work. I know it can be done, I've seen it done (saw it on a audiophile's PC, old redhat with alsa added by hand). Does anybody know how to do this? Thanks -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy SagacIT (Pty) Ltd hansdp at sagacit dot com

APC UPS
by Jim Flanagan 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

Hi all, Does anyone know how to set up an APC Back_UPS XS 1500 battery backup? This APC ups works with a USB cable on the PC side connecting to an RJ-45 plug in the back of the ups. I'm using Suse 8.2. The apcupsd that comes with 8.2 does not seem to know how to handle the usb connection. Nor does the PowerChute I downloaded from APC, it only seems to work with serial. I tried installing rpm's from suse ftp for suse 9.0 and 9.1, but they have too many dependencies on 8.2. Does anyone have an rpm for a newer version of apcupsd for suse 8.2? Many thanks, Jim Flanagan linuxjim(a)jjfiii.com

Upgraded Mozilla still renders wrong
by Christopher Carlen 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

Hi: I just upgraded my Suse 9.1 to Mozilla 1.7.5 using the .rpm from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla Unfortunately, this version still renders some pages horribly. I know that Mozilla and Firefox on Windows, and even Firefox (vanilla from Mozilla.org) renders these correctly on Linux: http://shop.mellesgriot.com/products/ProductLine.asp?plga=020160&mscssid= For that site, text is rendered on top of itself and the menu in the upper left is messed up. http://www.travelocity.com/?Service=TRAVELOCITY For the Travelocity site, notice the link overlaying the "Search flights" button. Things get really screwed when I: 1. select "Minors" equal to some number >0, 2. then the "Minor ages at time of travel" drop-down is overlayed by a link, so it cannot be used. Anyone else notice these rendering problems on their Suse 9.1 installations? I am using 32-bit. Thanks. -- ____________________________________ Christopher R.
