Currently it's afterstep, but I don't think the WM is a factor because it happens when I'm using no WM at all (Hardcore X) or at the VT or anything. I was grepping some kernel sources which led me to the setterm hypothesis, but I'm still nowhere. -Chuck

Re: [Wlug] Booting!

by Charles R. Anderson

If you installed your distribution's packages of Apache and Postgres, or other well-packaged software, it is as simple as: chkconfig httpd on chkconfig postgresql on And you can use the service command to start/stop them at any time too: service httpd start (or stop, status, restart, reload, etc.) This is all done through the magic of SysV-style initscripts: /etc/init.d /etc/rc*.d and on Red Hat systems, this is documented in: /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysvinitfiles On Mon, Feb 03, 2003 at 03:27:47AM +0700, Aramico wrote: aramico> How can i make these things run automatically at first time of My linux boot aramico> up. -- Charles R.

Blanking screen blanking @#$!

by chuck＠vvisions.com

Howdy, y'all. I'm just inches away from using my wikkid new Fujitsu notebook as a DVD player. After solving the seemingly difficult problems of playing a movie in the first place (xine), playing an encrypted DVD (libdvdcss), getting hardware scaling to work on my ATI (gatos), and enabling the S-video output (atitvout), I'm left with the final daunting challenge: Turning off the #!$@ screen saver! I've tried the following (in this order): setterm -blank 0 setterm -powersave off setterm -powerdown 0 xset s off xset s noblank xset -dpms apm -i (a long shot, which is not compiled in my version) Still my video goes out every 5 minutes. WTF? I don't who or what is turning off my screen, and for what motive. But their treachery must be stopped! Surely someone on this list has the knowledge I need to restore justice. TIA, -Chuck -- Chuck Homic homic(a)ml1.net

Feeel free > to I have never used Gentoo, and I do not know of any config tools they include that my help you; so my comments are distro independent (they are really all the same in the end - maybe the start of a good flame war!). First thing is to run 'XFree86 -configure' assuming you are running version 4.x.x If this does not work, you will have to manually configure. Start by running 'lspci -vvv' to scan the PCI bus and see what type of card you have etc. Then see if there any good docs (ther are) at http://www.xfree86.org/ You should also go to the following site where there will be links to what others did to get Linux on a particular laptop http://www.linux-in-laptops.net/ibm.html You can also try IBM http://www-1.ibm.com/linux/ or http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/ This should get you started where you can likely get X up and running. Any specific questions, just post to the list. I use a T23 and X runs fine 1024x768 on the LCD panel or 1600x1200 on my Viewsonic flat panel both at 24 bit. So you should have no problem getting the A30 to work. Good Luck! TG

oracle ad :-)

by doug waud

Hi all This morning's T&G had an amusing ad from Oracle. It consisted of a large heading "Email" and then two columns Oracle and Micro$oft starting with cost per user of $60 for Oracle and $126 for Micro$oft. It then continued the comparison of other properties. However, at the bottom of the Micro$oft column was "Costs more, but you also get Melissa, Snow White, Michelangelo..." doug

.htaccess for an exception!

by Aramico

Hi All, I have several subdomain where each is put on the diffrent directory and it has one index.html for each. The thing that I want is, the visitor can only access my html file, so if they want to connect to another page where the location is the same, it must be a password asked for this. My point is, can I defined *.* as protected files where the index.html, fly.jpg are not inlcluded in *.* definition. So, here, the visitor can still freely accessing the my index.html and fly.jpg where they are availbale in every sub domain directory. Thanks!.

qmail Problem! - Can only take my mail if sent using qmail-inject,.....

by Aramico

Hi all, I'm still got a serious problem with my qmail server. Now, I can send email to my address using qmail-inject directly from my console. Then, I'll try to retreive my email from my Outlook, it works, I can get my my mail, but it is said form my MAILER-DAEMON. In other case, I can send using my email address that listed in my qmail server successfully, but If some body send me message, I could not get it, in fact, the sender doesnt get the confirmation that the email has sent to invalid username in the defined domain. It means that I can receive the email, but where the email saved ? what configuration that I've got to do to fix this ? Thanks Men.

iPAQ update

by Wesley Allen

OK, I had a great time at the meeting on Wednesday, just let me say that first off. The great thing about linux is community, and WLUG certainly has that.... Now, at this moment I'm listening to a Nickel Creek .ogg on my iPAQ using Opie's media play w/ libvorbis. It's a little unstable, but once I get a decent flash card I'll finally be able to take my music files with me.... It took a while to get to this point. I disliked wiki before, now I positively HATE it (and I think Linux Magazine is on drugs for liking it so much). Stuff is just, missing - like how to make sure your iPAQ has dns entries by copying one file.....arrrgh! I could ssh in right away, and on usb, that was the easy part; but for some reason iptables weren't working at first and I had to wipe them and start over, now I've got dns AND iptables forwarding my packets, and the ipaq is on the internet (no, I'm not writing this e-mail on it, an iPAQ, no keyboard, remember?). The only problems I have are with the todolist (it won't start), and qtopia desktop (it won't link). The todolist is missing a library, which I'll find, but the syncing issue is a pain, it just won't see it. Brad's been great and he think going up to opie unstable may solve the issue, we'll see (don't you just love debian users? They say, "Go use unstable" as if that's just what people do...). Now, when I get a tape-player or mp3 input in a car stereo I can finally ask for that microdrive for Christmas! Thanks again! Wes
