RE: [Wlug] Newbie to mailing list- Issue with the generation of graphs inredhat6.2

by Marc Hughes

What do you mean when you say it seems broken? Are there other symptoms besides the java connection to it? Can you sit down at the machine and use X? If this is a server, you probably don't want that ability (that's where Xvfb comes in). What Xserver are you running? If you "ps aux |grep X" do you see an xserver running? -Marc -----Original Message----- From: Sudhaker P [mailto:perams27@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 10:46 AM To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Subject: RE: [Wlug] Newbie to mailing list- Issue with the generation of graphs inredhat6.2 Hi Marc, Thanks for the reply.

RE: [Wlug] Newbie to mailing list- Issue with the generation of graphs inredhat 6.2

by Marc Hughes

I'm guessing this is a server (the errors you showed before made it look more like a servlet than an applet)... So are you running X? If so, when you start the server do you set your DISPLAY variable correctly? Does the server process have access to the Xserver? If you're not running an Xserver, you need to. Weird, huh? Without a running X-Server the JRE can't do most graphical operations, even if those operations never render to the display. It's a long standing issue that a whole lot of people have complained about. What you can do is run Xvfb ... It's a non graphical X server. It just gives programs an Xserver to play with, and never displays the results of those programs. -Marc -----Original Message----- From: Sudhaker P [mailto:perams27@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 9:08 AM To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Subject: Re: [Wlug] Newbie to mailing list- Issue with the generation of graphs inredhat 6.2 Hi, With reply to my previous mail I've figured out that Java "awt" is looking for some parameters in X-windows.

Building RH7.3 server after 7.0 hacked -second request

by Richard Goodman

SECOND REQUEST Additional information This does not appear to be just a problem with server (A). I cannot send mail between any of my three RH7.3 mail servers, but all will send mail locally, and all will send to / receive from the outside world. I am using a RH7.3 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc except for commenting out the DAEMON-OPTIONS line to allow outside mail, and turning off FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains') Is there some change to the sendmail in RH7.3 of which I am unaware that could cause this? I would appreciate any suggestions of where to even look to solve this problem. ------------------------------ As some of you may recall from a mid-week email, two of my RH7.0 servers were badly hacked Tuesday about 5AM, and I lost ssh and think I received a trojan. Friday the hacking got worse - all outgoing mail was rejected as "relaying denied", so I decided to bite the bullet and format the drive and build a new server. This was made more interesting by the fact the RH7.3 wouldn't finish loading packages until I disconnected my second HD which previously held /var, and my web sites (tried 3-4 times) .. "Kernel unable to reread partition table on /tmp/hdc (device or resource busy)", then hung mid-package loading. Late Saturday afternoon I pulled the plug, and started a RH7.3 install. Midmorning I was done, including security patches and had no internet connection .. couldn't even ping from the server. Fortunately, it was just my ISP picking this time to be down for the first time in months. Now I have one remaining problem which over 8 hours of work has clarified, but not solved. For background, I have the just rebuilt RH7.3 server (A), and two other recently built RH7.3 servers (B) and (C) at a different location and each with its own static IP#, all running sendmail for one or several domains From A - incoming mail seems to be fine From A - I can send mail locally to several domain names that are on the A server From A - I can send email (such as this) out into the world Through A - I have several email addresses which are accessed by others from outside and send mail to another outside address in virtusertable or to an alias which is a list of outside addresses, and these are working From A - I cannot send mail to any of the domains at B or C When I try, I get this on the A sendmail log: Oct 27 19:02:56 bach sendmail[3693]: g9S02uO03693: from=<dick(a)goodman1.net>, size=316, class=0, nrcp ts=1, msgid=<p04310101b9e23f71eb3e(a)[192.168.1.9]>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=host9.goodman1.net [192.168.1.9] Oct 27 19:03:02 bach sendmail[3695]: g9S02uO03693: SYSERR(root): 11harvard.com. config error: mail l oops back to me (MX problem?)

The original screensaver just blanked the screen when the terminal was not in use, to prvent the login: prompt from getting burnt into the phosphors. Good idea, but it was hard to tell if the power was on, so somebody had the idea of displaying a small randomly bouncing spot. You could see it was on, but it was still mostly black and no place got burnt by a static image. After that, it has been straight downhill. I've never purposely installed a screen saver, though I suspect that the amount of disk space wasted by the ones that get installed by default exceeds the total amount of space on all disks I used at my first three jobs. There's a classic Dilbert cartoon: PHB: We need a program to track the inventory, print bills and invoices, schedule manufacturing, and ensure that our customers can track the progress of their orders.

Peram, I'll ask an obvious question... You've verified that both machines running the same version of the java run time environment? Also, does the entire applet fail or does it just fail to display the graph. If so, you might have to insert some code to catch exceptions... Possibly some library has gotten mangled... Hope that helps, Tim. -----Original Message----- From: Sudhaker P [mailto:perams27@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 14:35 PM To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Subject: [Wlug] Newbie to mailing list- Issue with the generation of graphs in redhat 6.2 Hi , I've a program that generates graphs with Java 1.3.1_01.

are you running it from the comand line? or an applet? Get any errors on your command line? Did you try on the same machine booting 2.4.16 and 2.4.7 to verify that it is the kernel?

Re: [Wlug] noseguy text

Where did you get it KW> and why do you want it? I remember having noseguy as a screensaver option back at WPI, on the garden lab terminals and the CCC ("Buckaroo Bonzai") lab DECstations, and that would've been around 1995 or so... IIRC, it's a black background, with a white (green?) little cartoon character that's basically a big nose with little feet. The little noseguy walks a little bit across the screen, stops, and a little ponder bubble appears above his "head" that displays something from the fortune file. The xscreensaver package that includes noseguy is available here: http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/ A "screenshot" of noseguy is available here: http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/screenshots.html According to this page, the noseguy for xscreensaver was extracted out of xnlock . According to: http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html#fortune <quote> Where does the text for those silly quotes come from? Some of the xscreensaver display modes (phosphor, noseguy, etc.) run another program to generate text, which is then displayed in some fancy way. Usually that program is fortune (generally found at /usr/games/fortune.) To change which program a specific xscreensaver hack runs to generate text, put something like this in your ``~/.Xdefaults'' file: phosphor.program: /usr/games/fortune See the man page for fortune for how to customize the text that it generates. </quote> So, my guess is that the original question was really how to customize the text that fortune spits out... -- --==*==-- --==*==-- Michelle R.

RE: [Wlug] Looking for networking information

by Daniel Chen

I found that http://www.practicallynetworked.com/ as a good site with review on DSL/Cable routers and home wireless equipment. www.homepna.org was another good site for home networks. But if you were looking at basic information such as installing NIC card and Ethernet Basics. Microsoft Press has a Network book; Cisco Press has a Network book. Both book are the basis for each's Cert Exam Curriculum.

Setag Lib, Microsoft linux is very very good. I use it all the time, though I find I keep getting "SEG_HATESELF" errors all the time. I'd be very interested in helping you get those diamonds out of your country! I am part of the non profit group "Wereever Others are Oppressed, Keep Intacted Entegrity" a.k.a. "WOOKIE". Currently we are in a grievous plight and need your help so we can help people whereever they are being oppressed, like the Galactic Senate.
