  Dual booting with Fedora 4
Posted by: halpern - 2005-11-08, 12:57 AM - Forum: Fedora Core Release 4 - No Replies

I believe I read somewhere that you can not dual boot fedora linux on an ntfs partition. Since my main drive is SATA 200gb drive (another issue) and Windows is using NTFS can I use an NTFS partition for Fedora? I would create the partition in partition magic. Also woudl there be any issues in Fedora recognizing a SATA drive during install? Thanks.

it's time to "PICK UP THE PEN!!" and write your congressman (be sure to use spell check {unlike me}).

I just don't know what i would do if i lost my TIVo and i JUST bought a cable drive for my rig so i think my head might explode if this happens.

  Finally updated Nvidia drivers, but...
Posted by: hybrid - 2005-11-06, 11:21 AM - Forum: nVidia Problems - Replies (1)


Well, having upgraded to SUSE 10, I thought I would give the Nvidia drivers a go again. They installed without problem. Well, almost.

 

X works and everything, but I seem to be stuck at 1280x800 @ 60 Hz. I want to (and was running) 1280x960 @ 85 Hz before the driver update. I've tried everything I can think of in SaX2 (the SUSE graphical X config tool). Do I need to modify XF86Config, and if so, what do I change?

 

I am using a CTX VL951 19" CRT monitor. It definitely can handle 1280x960 @ 85 Hz. I've been running XP at that since I had this monitor.

 

Cheers for any help,

 

Hybrid

  IP update
Posted by: xDamox - 2005-11-06, 11:17 AM - Forum: Network Problems - Replies (4)


It's been a while since I've started a post, so I though I would ask if anyone knew of any tools

that can automatically update dyndns or no-ip.org domian if my router resets it's IP address?

 

O by the way anyweb I like how you have now allowed to specify the Opening time :) makes

it easy for anyone wants to reference off this site. :)

  suse to standardise on gnome !
Posted by: anyweb - 2005-11-06, 10:21 AM - Forum: SUSE - Replies (7)


that's right, novell suse is going to put it's energy and money into gnome

 

[/url][url=http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1882118,00.asp]http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1882118,00.asp

 

Quote:Novell is making one large strategic change. The GNOME interface is going to become the default interface on both the SLES (SuSE Linux Enterprise Server) and Novell Linux Desktop line. 

KDE libraries will be supplied on both, but the bulk of Novell's interface moving forward will be on GNOME.

 

"The entire KDE graphical interface and product family will continue to be supported and delivered on OpenSuSE," said Mancusi-Ungaro.

 

In the past, Novell had explored creating a best of breed desktop, but these efforts came to little.

  fbdesk
Posted by: enigma - 2005-11-05, 05:15 PM - Forum: Gentoo - No Replies


I've been trying to use fbdesk using the following tutorial:

 



Code:
http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/fbdesk/




 

I get the following errors when running it:

 



Code:
elrond@rivendale ~ $ fbdesk -rc ~/.fluxbox/fbdesk
/home/elrond/.fluxbox/styles/Cthulhain
Loading: [/home/elrond/.fluxbox/fbdesk.icons]
Warning: Empty icon file, creating one icon.
Load pixmap failed! ()
Using default pixmap
Warning: Failed to save icons to file: /home/elrond/.fluxbox/fbdesk.icons
Warning: Failed to save icons to file: /home/elrond/.fluxbox/fbdesk.icons




 

As you can probably tell the tutorial is not very detailed on where this information goes, or how to set it up. From what i have gathered it all goes in the init of ~/.fluxbox/init. After doing so you add the icond to ~/.fluxbox/fbdesk.icons. The problem is it never saves or uses the actual icons you tell it to, instead it uses a default icon...

  libGL error
Posted by: enigma - 2005-11-05, 03:56 PM - Forum: Gentoo - Replies (2)


i've just emerged bzflag when running the following command as normal user:

 



Code:
/usr/games/bin/bzflag




 

its returns the following errors:

 



Code:
libGL error: open DRM failed (Operation not permitted)
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering




 

Now on the other hand if I run the game as root, it loads everything fine and works like a charm. Just as normal user it lags like no tommorow because of the libGL issue.

  Zero sized reply error (squid ?)
Posted by: anyweb - 2005-10-31, 08:00 AM - Forum: Site Problems - Replies (4)


hi guys

 

anytime i try to reply to a PM from someone on this forum i get an error (after 10 or so seconds)

 

Quote:ERRORThe requested URL could not be retrieved

 

While trying to retrieve the URL: [/url][url=<___base_url___>/index.php][/url][url=<___base_url___>/index.php]https://www.linux-noob.com/forums/index.php?

 

The following error was encountered:

 

* Zero Sized Reply

 

Squid did not receive any data for this request.

 

Your cache administrator is webmaster.

Generated Mon, 31 Oct 2005 07:56:18 GMT by smoothwall (squid/2.5.STABLE9)
 

this is very annoying for me and dam hard to troubleshoot,. so i'm asking if any of you can help me with troubleshooting it.

 

i've read this [/url][url=http://info.ccone.at/INFO/Squid/FAQ-11.html]http://info.ccone.at/INFO/Squid/FAQ-11.html

 

specifically:-

Quote:11.51 Why do I sometimes get ``Zero Sized Reply''? 

This happens when Squid makes a TCP connection to an origin server, but for some reason, the connection is closed before Squid reads any data. Depending on various factors, Squid may be able to retry the request again. If you see the ``Zero Sized Reply'' error message, it means that Squid was unable to retry, or that all retry attempts also failed.

 

What causes a connection to close prematurely? It could be a number of things, including:

 

1. An overloaded origin server.

2. TCP implementation/interoperability bugs.

3. Race conditions with HTTP persistent connections.

4. Buggy or misconfigured NAT boxes, firewalls, and load-balancers.

5. Denial of service attacks.

 

You may be able to use tcpdump to track down and observe the problem.

 

Some users believe the problem is caused by very large cookies. One user reports that his Zero Sized Reply problem went away when he told Internet Explorer to not accept third-party cookies.

 

Here are some things you can try to reduce the occurance of the Zero Sized Reply error:

 

1. Delete or rename your cookie file and configure your browser to prompt you before accepting any new cookies.

2. Disable HTTP persistent connections with the server_persistent_connections and client_persistent_connections directives.

3. Disable any advanced TCP features on the Squid system. Disable ECN on Linux with echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn/.

 

If this error causes serious problems for you, Squid developers would be happy to help you uncover the problem. However, we will require high-quality debugging information from you, such as tcpdump output, server IP addresses, operating system versions, and access.log entries with full HTTP headers.

 

If you want to make Squid give the Zero Sized error on demand, you can use the short C program below. Simply compile and start the program on a system that doesn't already have a server running on port 80. Then try to connect to this fake server through Squid:

 

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <unistd.h>

#include <sys/types.h>

#include <sys/socket.h>

#include <netinet/in.h>

#include <arpa/inet.h>

#include <assert.h>

 

int

main(int a, char **B)

{

struct sockaddr_in S;

int s,t,x;

s = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

assert(s > 0);

memset(&S, '\0', sizeof(S));

S.sin_family = AF_INET;

S.sin_port = htons(80);

x = bind(s, (struct sockaddr *) &S, sizeof(S));

assert(x == 0);

x = listen(s, 10);

assert(x == 0);

while (1) {

struct sockaddr_in F;

int fl = sizeof(F);

t = accept(s, (struct sockaddr *) &F, &fl);

fprintf(stderr, "accpeted FD %d from %s:%d\n",

t, inet_ntoa(F.sin_addr), (int)ntohs(F.sin_port));

close(t);

fprintf(stderr, "closed FD %d\n", t);

}

return 0;

}
 

and i guess this refers to squid itself ? and not the forums httpd ?

 

i'm using two squids here, one is smoothwall 3.0 alpha protecting linux-noob.com (and it produces the exact same error as a previous smothwall 2.0 on different hardware) and on another network i have yet another smoothwall box.

 

i've tried disabling squid on this connection but when i 'reply' to a pm instead of getting the 'zero sized reply' error, the message never moves on to the 'sent' screen, it just 'stays where it is' after i press 'send message'

 

so something is wrong, but what ? any ideas ?????

 

facts to note:

 

the webserver has been upgraded completely (new os (fedora core 4) new apache, new php, new mysql, new invision power board, different hardware), the smoothwall protecting the webserver has been upgraded completely (both hardware and software)

 

so in other words i dont think this is a hardware issue, but a software one, and i'm having a very hard time finding out what is wrong....

cheers
