Re: [Wlug] Driver question

by John LaFleur

The Hollywood Plus has the same driver as the Creative Labs dxr3, there's a project page at http://dxr3.sourceforge.net/ I've tried the drivers on my dxr3, which worked OK, but I never got the VGA-overlay working properly. Maybe I should give them another shot... - John (jplafleur(a)adelphia.net) On Tue, 2003-06-17 at 20:00, Geoff wrote: > > I tried playing around on the net and I didn't find it in the first 100 > links on google so I was wondering if anyone out there might know this.

530 TLS subsystem failed.

by aramico＠duahati.com

Hi all, I've just re-compilled all the system's need such as openssl, php and its need, etc. Here, I got a problem like this : [root@voyager named]# ftp 192.168.21.22 Connected to 192.168.21.22 (192.168.21.22). 530 TLS subsystem failed. ftp> Can you please inform me what was wrong with this ? Is it a kind of problem which caused by openssl upgrade ? How can I solve this ? In fact, I get a slow connection too when accessing local mail using browser. I can send and receive mail fast using outlook. Thanks.

whois question

by Gregory Avedissian

Is there a way to do a whois search for a registrants name, and get all the domains registered in that name? I checked the RIPE help file (whois -h whois.ripe.net HELP), but I don't understand it. I figure there's some way to do an inverse search with the -i switch, but it's not doing what I want it to do. Thanks. Greg

They have both a 50 pin and a 68 pin internal connector, and a 68 pin external. You can hook everything up to the 68 pin connector, but you need 68 to 50 pin dongles, or you can hook some to each as long as the IDs are unique. --Skip

Flaky disks or controller?

by Andy Stewart

HI Everybody, Having recently rebuilt my "good" computer, I'm now seeing a bunch of disk I/O errors in my system log. I have 3 SCSI disks connected to a Symbios controller using the sym53c8xx module and a 2.4.20 kernel. At first, I suspected an individual drive, as it is nearly 4 years old, and all of the errors were there. I have since physically removed that drive, and now the other drives are logging errors rather sporatically. Typically, I see an error message from reiserfs about how it couldn't write to the drive, and a disk I/O error in the log. The system is then wedged and requires a reboot. With the problem showing up on all 3 SCSI drives, I'm now suspicious of the (used) controller which I received as a "present" from a guy at work. If it should be the controller, do you folks have recommendations about reasonably priced SCSI controllers? I have 6 SCSI devices in my system and I need 68-pin as well as 50-pin capabilities. One of my disks is U160, and I think the others are slower, but with disks always getting faster, I'd probably want a U160 controller. I don't think I want to pay the premium for a U320 controller.

Re: [Wlug] Linux and wireless 802.11b

Actually I did get it working. The problem was I had some undefined symbols after I built the kernel. The symbols appeared to be related to SMP. So I compiled SMP support into the kernel (strange since this is a laptop...).

IP Chains on RH. 7.3 to disable YM, ICQ, and MSN Messanger.

by aramico＠duahati.com

Hi all, I'm using masqueride for my client's internet connection. Here I defined only on port 21, 22, 80, 53, 25, 110, and 443. By this chains rule, all my client can get the access of the internet for ftp, ssh, Web handling, mail (pop3 and smtp) and https. That something I hate, I could not disable the access for Yahoo Messanger : (. YM has its personal proxy managing that can use defined common port as 80 (http port). How can I disable the connection for Yahoo Messanger using IPchains ? It's a good thing too if I can do the same thing for MSN Messanger, and ICQ.

CD/DVD-ROM question

by Gregory Avedissian

I just noticed that my boot message tells me that my CD-ROM and CDRW drives are also DVD-ROM. I wasn't aware that either of them had that capability when I bought them. All those spam messages about reading DVD from my CD-ROM went in the trash without being read, so now I'm wondering. Is it possible to read a DVD on a CD drive? If so, how? If not, why does the boot message say that? Thanks. Greg
