weird ethernet problem...
by Keller, Tim 30 May '02

30 May '02

I just moved a box from a testing network to a DMZ network and I'm getting all this weird ethernet crap... here's the error's I keep getting NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out status 7088 0c00 at 241/301 command 001c000 the commands are different along with the status codes. the box has a Intel 10/100 Pro card running at 100 full duplex. I hooked up a win2k laptop configured it to the proper ip in the DMZ and it worked fine, so I know it's not the link. Thanks, Tim.

USB Driver: Where to start?
by Bill Smith 30 May '02

30 May '02

Folks, I've got this idiot little USB camera that I got as part of a promotion. (Specifically, it's a QuickVideo weeCam USB from Alaris that I got a couple years back from Earthlink.) Near as I can figure, there are no drivers for this fool thing for Linux. IF I were to attack the problem, where should I start? I've noticed in the logs that the system sees it when it is connected and disconnected, so I suppose that's a Good Thing, but I don't know where to go from there. Bear in mind that I've never had to write anything like this before, so I'll be starting with a clean slate, as it were... 8\ Any assistance would be appreciated. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- William Smith wsmith-at-chezsmith-dot-com Fall River, MA http://www.chezsmith.com Wherever you go, there you are. * TAG! v3.0 *

Sendmail
by Joe Riopel 27 May '02

27 May '02

I have sendmail set up here at work, and everyone can send email fine, except when I try to send using the good old mail command.. it tells me "Can't create transcript file ./xfg4OGa2S21960: Permission denied queueup: cannot create queue temp file ./tfg4OGa2S21960, uid=500: Permission denied" I have tried doing chmod 777 on the "/var/spool/mqueue" and it still fails. However when I use pine and set my smtp server to box.domain.com ( the localhosts name ) I am able to send fine. This problem is preventing a webmail client I wrote from sending mail... Any ideas? Thanks, Joe

SCSI reset error
by Chuck Homic 26 May '02

26 May '02

Hey guys... from my syslog: May 22 17:05:28 biznatch kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 5591, scsi0, channel 0, id 2, lun 0 Read (10) 00 00 61 01 11 00 00 80 00 May 22 17:05:28 biznatch kernel: (scsi0:0:2:0) SCSISIGI 0x44, SEQADDR 0x110, SSTAT0 0x0, SSTAT1 0x3 May 22 17:05:28 biznatch kernel: (scsi0:0:2:0) SG_CACHEPTR 0x0, SSTAT2 0xf, STCNT 0xe8 May 22 17:05:29 biznatch kernel: SCSI host 0 abort (pid 5591) timed out - resetting May 22 17:05:29 biznatch kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0. May 22 17:05:30 biznatch kernel: (scsi0:0:2:0) Synchronous at 10.0 Mbyte/sec, offset 15. Can anyone who knows more about SCSI tell me what can cause a command timeout, etc... Do I need a terminator or something? I thought my configuration was right, since I can transfer hundreds of megabytes between errors. Can a problem with terminator configuration even be that subtle? (Forgive a SCSI newbie!) So, the error resolves itself in 7 seconds, and no data is lost, so maybe I don't care. ;) Really, the problem is that it muddies up the console when it happens, and I have to press ^a l. The system is a decade-old experimental dual Pentium-133 running 2.2.21 SMP, with an onboard AIC-7870 (with a BIOS that says "EVALUATION VERSION. DO NOT DISTRIBUTE.") and a 4GB Western Digital Enterprise that someone told me was dead. Heh... okay that sounds pretty bad. So, I guess only pay attention to the terminator question. ;) Thanks. -Chuck

KDE 3.0.1
by Andy Stewart 24 May '02

24 May '02

HI gang, I had installed KDE 3.0 as part of my upgrade to SuSE 8.0 and was quite unhappy with the frequency of crashes with Konqueror (multiple times nightly). Well, I've just upgraded to KDE 3.0.1 and have been using Konqueror for over an hour without a crash. Things are looking up! If you are a KDE 3.0 user, I'd recommend upgrading to version 3.0.1. -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

I thought it was brand new, but its not. so change that to used. Though I bought a dvd player of this same person and he had all the original packaging, etc. So, I can vouch and say his "used" is about 3 times nicer that what I would consider "Brand new"...
