* multiple X sessions
From: Karthik Vishwanath @ 2003-12-09 1:46 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: linux-newbie
Hello,
Could someone point out how I could setup my machine so that a second user
may log in to the machine and run a 'startx' even though the first user is
logged in and has an active X session running, without killing the first
user's X session?
Thanks,

* Process information?
From: Neo Wee Teck @ 2003-12-09 1:37 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: linux-newbie
Hi,
I saw some difference in the process info when using RedHat kernel 2.4.20-8 and the kernel from kernel.org (2.4.23)
With Redhat's kernel, process show something like this
www 10186 0.0 0.1 2536 1272 ? S Dec08 0:01 [httpd]
www 10187 0.0 0.1 2536 1272 ? S Dec08 0:01 [httpd]
www 10188 0.0 0.1 2536 1276 ? S Dec08 0:01 [httpd]
But with 2.4.23 kernel it shows
www 5673 0.0 0.1 2536 1272 ? S Dec08 0:01 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
www 5674 0.0 0.1 2536 1272 ? S Dec08 0:01 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
www 5675 0.0 0.1 2536 1276 ? S Dec08 0:01 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
Any configuration in the kernel that i missed out? I prefer the way processes are shown in Redhat's kernel but would like to use the 2.4.23's kernel.
Cheers
Neo

Not that I've heard about. How much space are we actually talking about
(100% of what capacity)? And how quick was "suddenly" (seconds? minutes?
hours?)? These days, I never see this problem, but way back when, I saw it
happen if logging got out of hand, so /var/log got full (assuming /var
isn't a separate filesystem).
Since the system is reinstalled, suggesting diagnostics is a bit late. If
it should happen again, use "du" to hone in on where the space is being
gobbled up.

In the Debian packaging system, this app is part of the package
"gnome-pim", along with gnomecal (the Calendar app). You might see if RH,
or gnome.org, packages it similarly.

From: Peter @ 2003-12-05 8:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Hi,
A weird thing happened. All of a sudden my / partition was 100% full when
normally and as it is now again only 30 % is used. I could not find any files
to delete so I had to reinstall RH73.
In the process I lost the program gnomecard for my adresses. I can't find it
on any of my old CDs, not in gnome.org and a google search put me back on
gnome; tocosw was negative as well.
Does anyone know where it is hidden and guide me in my apparent blindness.

I've never found a decent online reference for this info. I usualy turn to
the book Internet Core Protocols (by Eric A. Hall; O'Reilly, 2000) when I
need to untangle ping responses (or most any packet internals).
Or you could try asking specific questions here ... I don't have the time
to answer a question as open-ended as "EXACTLY what ping messages mean" ...
but I can help with the occasional *specific* question.

Assuming that by "turn-off" you mean run the "shutdown" or "halt" command
... it does not run because shutdown is runlevel 6, not runlevel 5 (or at
least it is on every Linux system I've ever used ... I haven't used RH in a
very long time, though). If you look in (probably - I don't know RH's
organization) /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/, you will see the symlinks for the init
scripts that run as part of shutdown.

* irqmask doesn't work
From: Jing Xu @ 2003-11-26 21:50 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: linux-newbie
Hello,
I'm having some trouble with PCI IRQ's and I was
hoping someone here could help.
I'm running linux 2.4.20 and rtai 24.1.11. My linux
kernel module needs to use IRQ 9 10 11 for AGP graphic
card, sound card and PCI-Dio24 IO card. These irqs are
also shared by USB controllers. My module hangs when
it tries to request the above irqs used by USB
devices. I figured it would be a good idea to remove
this apparent conflict. I have scoured the web and
found that I can reserve these IRQs by specifying
pci=irqmask=0xxxxx on the kernel boot line.
I have tried to set "pci=irqmask=0xf1e8" to reserve
Irq 9 10 11 4 from my driver, and it hasn't had any
effect - those irqs are still used by usb controllers
on initialization.
How do I change these IRQ's? Is there some other
configuration file I haven't found? If anyone can
provide any insight into this, I would appreciate it
greatly. Let me know what/if any details you need - I
am by no means an expert in this area and didn't want
to post reams of irrelevant information, but if there
is something I'm missing let me know and I'll get
it...
Thanks in advance,
jing

It could be happening for any number of reasons, ranging from physical
failure of the keyboard/mouse or motherboard, through BIOS problems, or X
problems (assuming this is happening in X), or problems specific to the
application where this happens, or even user error (for example, a focus
problem).
To get help, you will have to tell us more. For example:
What version of Linux (what distro, what kernel)?
Are the keyboard and mouse PS/2 devices, or USB? (Or AT and serial, if this
is an old system?)
What version of X and what X driver (or if this is not an X problem, what
display setting it occurs in)?
What application are you running when you see the problem? Has this
SPECIFIC application worked properly with the keyboard and the mouse
before? Is "suddenly" completely out of the blue, or did you just do a
system update that may have loaded a new version of the app or apps in
question?
How are you "scrolling using the mouse"? Are you referring to a scrool
wheel or the use of scrollbars provided by the app?
Is the keypress problem happening with all (or a lot of) keys, or did you
just encounter it with 1 or 2 keys (which ones)? Do single keypresses still
work?
Is the system simply busy, so responding v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y? Even though
it usually has high priority, the UI is still a process (actually, a whole
set of processes), and if the CPU is heavily loaded, it can bog down. You
might try running "top" in an xterm or over an ssh connection while this
problem is showing up, just to check for this (admittedly, long shot)
possibility.
There are so many other possibilities that I can't really frame good
questions, so I'll end with a general one: Can you think of anything
different between the situations where keyboard and mouse work the way you
expect them to and situations where they do not? For *example*, are
different uid's involved?

First, provide technical descriptions of the failures, not metaphorical
ones (e.g., "just flopped over" is colorful but not very informative).
Beyond that ...
What were the symptoms of the initial failure? Did it occur out of the
blue, or after a reboot, or what?
What does happen when you try to reactivate the interface? That is, what
happens when you enter (as root) the command "ifup eth0"?
What is the complete, unedited output of "ifconfig -a"? (After you do the
above attempt to reactivate, or right after a fresh boot/init, but tell us
which you are reporting.)
What kernel are you running ("uname -a")? Is it stock or one you compiled
locally?
What sort of NIC is it? What kernel module(s) does it use (or is the driver
compiled into the kernel)?
Is there any possibility of either a physical failure of the NIC or a BIOS
problem?
During the boot/init sequence, does the kernel (or the loading of the
relevant module) detect the NIC? (This info will show up in the dmesg
buffer, which RH *may* write out someplace like /var/log/dmesg .)
You may have checked some of this already, but I don't know what actual
efforts are covered by your statement that "nothing seems to work", so I
decided to be inclusive rather than risk skipping something useful because
it was too "obvious" to ask about.

First, provide technical descriptions of the failures, not metaphorical
ones (e.g., "just flopped over" is colorful but not very informative).
Beyond that ...
What were the symptoms of the initial failure? Did it occur out of the
blue, or after a reboot, or what?
What does happen when you try to reactivate the interface? That is, what
happens when you enter (as root) the command "ifup eth0"?
What is the complete, unedited output of "ifconfig -a"? (After you do the
above attempt to reactivate, or right after a fresh boot/init, but tell us
which you are reporting.)
What kernel are you running ("uname -a")? Is it stock or one you compiled
locally?
What sort of NIC is it? What kernel module(s) does it use (or is the driver
compiled into the kernel)?
Is there any possibility of either a physical failure of the NIC or a BIOS
problem?
During the boot/init sequence, does the kernel (or the loading of the
relevant module) detect the NIC? (This info will show up in the dmesg
buffer, which RH *may* write out someplace like /var/log/dmesg .)
You may have checked some of this already, but I don't know what actual
efforts are covered by your statement that "nothing seems to work", so I
decided to be inclusive rather than risk skipping something useful because
it was too "obvious" to ask about.

* activating eth0

Hello everyone,
I am running RH 8.0. My network card was working just fine and then one day just flopped over. I have tried
reactivating it using the GUI and using the command ifup eth0, but nothing seems to work. Any thoughts?
Thank you.

Hi All
First I assume competence with my response.
By that I mean that the person knows to do all the normal clean up things like
check printer cable, check plugged in, turn off printer to clear buffer,
clear files from cash et before a question like that is ask.
For mysself I have a printer HO 890 C connected to a dual boot Win XP / Md 9.1
box that at times refuses to print correct.
I have seen the same file printed under the same program in the same operating
system print and not print.
This printer may and often is connected to another dual boot Win 98 / RH 6.3
box where it always works.
There is a third box RH 7.3 form which it also always works.
At the last SLUG meeting here in Tampa I mentioned the problem because I
thought it has something to do with the fact that I had split the HD of the
offending computer into 3 sectors. The Win XP can see two: WIN XP and Common;
the Md 9.1 can see two: Common and Md 9.1. I was concerned with the partition
format being used for Common.
Oh I for got to mention the problem is independent of file format except for
plain text which always works. All other formats work and/or fail seeming at
random.
Turns out that regardless of the file format used any files brought up in Win
XP Office become corrupt. If Win XP Office is not used then there is no
problem.
I found the problem by the simple means of using a second Canon portable
printer I have.
Regards
Frank

I can't help you directly, Sean, since I use neitner ISDN nor this product.
I did look around a bit, though, and found a thread on the suse-isdn list.
Unfortunately, it is in German, so (unless you speak German) you'll need
help from someone other than me to interpret it. Good luck.
One entry point into it is ...
http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/289/2002/3/0/8251597/
... but you are probably better off Google'ing the topic ("DrayTek
minivigor TA linux") yourself for leads.

Well, if the problem occurs with DOS as well as Linux, that certainly
suggests it is not a Linux problem. There are a couple of things to do
before you buy a new printer, though.
1. Have you power-cycled the printer? If not, do so, just in case something
caused a transient change in the settings. Leave it off for a minute or so.
2. You say "I checked all the cables, can't find anything wrong". Checked
*how*? Visually? That wouldn't catch a single broken wire, which would be
enough to turn good signals into jabberwocky ... and could easily happen if
the cable is bent sharply at either end (I've never actually seen this with
a parallel or serial cable, but I have seen it happen to VGA cables). The
only real way to test for a cable problem, unless you are better with a VOM
than I am, is to substitute another cable and still see the problem (or to
use the cable in a different setup and see no problem there ... even that
is not a *completely* certain test, though).
3. You probably want to ask for help on a support list for the printer, not
a Linux list. There, the question to ask is if there is some persistent
change to the configuration that can occur accidentally ... stay in NV RAM
or whatever.
4. Any chance that you made a BIOS change to the port (you don't way if
this is a parallel, serial, USB, or LAN/Ethernet setup, so I can't be more
specific than that ... though I suppose you use of DOS implies either
parallel or serial)?
Were I to **guess**, it would be that you missed a bad cable. Only a guess,
though.

Try a different printer if it works correctly then buy a new printer.
