by Keller, Tim June 7, 2001

June 7, 2001

Hey Guys, Here's the skinny on it... Manufacturer: Sun Model: 365-1324 Max Resolution: 1280x1024 Sync Type: Composite H Freq/ V Freq: 88.1khz / 76hz Tube Manufacturer: Sony (Trinitron tube) Tube Size: 20" (19" viewable) Connector: 13W3 (however, they do make a 13W3 to 15pin vga adapter that works great) This is one of those sun monitors that has the little credit card remote in the front (which is still in there). The monitor is in mint condition and works fine. I'm asking 175 for it. Let me know if you want it. Thanks, Tim.

Hi all, I recently bought an ipaq. I know there are are a few members of the wlug that have and ipaq with linux running. I have done some looking about on the net and i have found a hand full of options or a linux distro to put on the ipaq. I am curious to hear what the group's experience are with linux and the ipaq, and if you have any suggestions/warnings. Thanks --Brad

dual PII/PIII motherboard of questionable origin up for grabs
by Brian J. Conway June 6, 2001

June 6, 2001

The WPI Linux Association received a donation of a SuperMicro SUPER P6DBE dual PII/PIII 440BX motherboard (http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/MotherBoards/440BX/p6dbe.htm) The original owner upgraded because it was flaky and thought the parallel port was bad, but upon buying a new motherboard found that it was his fubared sound card causing flakiness, so I'm under the assumption that this motherboard should be good or at least workable, but of course there are NO GUARANTEES. As we currently have no use for it and I'd hate to see it go to waste, get back to me if you'd like it, but please only do so if you'll put it to good use, I'd hate to see something like this go to waste. I'll bring it to the next WLUG meeting to hand off. Brian J. Conway dogbert(a)clue4all.net Geek for hire: http://clue4all.net/resume Power Mac G4 Cube. Some of us are getting laid tonight. (http://www.pvponline.com/archive.php3?archive=20010509) P.S. I'm also told the screen at POST looks a little garbled, but that's due to the latest BIOS update and performance should be unaffected.

routing table question
by Bill Mills-Curran June 6, 2001

June 6, 2001

My routing table definitely looks wrong to me: > route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 millie.mills.cu 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 And, "route" hangs for a while before printing the last line. My network response is fine. Comments? TIA, Bill

Handspring & Linux
by William Smith June 5, 2001

June 5, 2001

All, I recently "upgraded" from a Palm IIIx to a Handspring Visor Deluxe (screen on the IIIx went South. 8( ). As you might be aware, the Handspring Visor comes with a USB cradle. Has anyone had any success in getting a Linux box to sync-up with a Visor through the USB port? Any ideas are welcome. Best regards, Bill Smith Fall River, MA

ssh2 -> openssh
by Bill Mills-Curran June 5, 2001

June 5, 2001

Tonight I tried (briefly) to convert to openssh from ssh2, and I ran into trouble. Maybe someone has an idea. The two machines in question are at RedHat 6.1 and RedHat 7.0. I built ssh2 (version 2.4.0) on each machine, and the install went smoothly on both sides. I have been happy with it. Then a friend suggested openssh. So I thought I'd try to convert. Since I could not find a ready-build openssl and openssh rpm for 6.1, I build openssh 2.9p1 and openssl 0l.6.6a. On my 7.0 box, I used the rpm's from the distro. I deinstalled the ssh2 code using "make install". I did not try to remove any other files, but I did stop all ssh2 processes. The install of the openssh code went just fine. I could log into my 7.0 box from my 6.1 box (I can't go the other way due to a company firewall), but the port mapping did not work. (I used the "-R 19999:box1:23" to give me access back through the company firewall.) I'm wondering if I'm running into basic code problems, or is it likely that the ssh2 installation needs some careful manual cleanup prior to decommission it. I'm back running ssh2, but I'd like to stick with open source, if possible. Suggestions? Thanks, Bill

DVD RAM
by Andy Stewart June 4, 2001

June 4, 2001

HI gang, I saw a note on SuSE's website advertising their upcoming release of version 7.2 In that press release, they boasted about supporting the new Panasonic DVD RAM drive (LF-D291), which supports writing 9.6 GB on a two sided medium. I know that reading a DVD is supported on recent (2.4.x) kernels, and also on some later 2.2.x kernels, and that patches exist for earlier 2.2.x kernels. (Data mode, like a giant CD...not DVD video). What I would like to know is: what is required of Linux to support writing a DVD RAM device. Do I need a program analogous to xcdroast? I have searched quite a bit and cannot find this tidbit of information. I am considering this for a backup solution first, a data DVD reader second (SuSE distributes their stuff on DVD), and DVD video lastly (www.linuxvideo.org) Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org
