Its a "Miro Crystal 20 SD PCI", which is in the list of S3 cards. RAM is 2 MB. Maybe I have to fiddle something with individual settings, chipnames, anyway, after a nice easter monday afternoon, still no success. And ./rp7* is still coredumping at the end of the installation process......

However, if i type this: [1:06] /home/sjuke>realplay [1:06] /home/sjuke> that is what happens; Nothing at all. No error messages, no nothing.

By the way, netscape plugin was istalled to /usr/lib/netscape/plugins, but I just copied it over to /usr/local/lib/netscape-linux/plugins/ and it seems to work also. @-`--,--`--- Jukka Simila To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Tue Apr 25 16:36:39 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from hotmail.com (f265.law8.hotmail.com [216.33.240.140]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id CD4C337B54E for ; Tue, 25 Apr 2000 16:36:36 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jmd526@hotmail.com) Received: (qmail 21036 invoked by uid 0); 25 Apr 2000 23:36:35 -0000 Message-ID: <20000425233635.21035.qmail@hotmail.com> Received: from 209.220.228.2 by www.hotmail.com with HTTP; Tue, 25 Apr 2000 16:36:35 PDT X-Originating-IP: [209.220.228.2] From: "John Daniels" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: StarOffice difficulties with msdos partition Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 19:36:35 EDT Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi: Dual boot setup with Windows98 and FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE, KDE and StarOffice 5.1a. /etc/fstab file contains: /dev/ad0s1 /msdos msdos rw,longnames,-u=1002,-g=1002 0 2 Problem: StarOffice editor: File -> Open shows only a limited number of file and directories. For example the MyDocuments folder is not listed. But if I specify a path and filename which is not listed, it _will_ open the file. I tried editing a word file (which wasn't listed) and it found it and wrote it (with a different filename) but when I tried to open the file after booting Win98, I got an error message (check filename and permissions on file and directory...) The KDE editor and KDE file manager show all files and directories under the /msdos directory and will edit them and write them and I have no problem opening the files again under Win98. *BUT* I have only used the KDE editor with text files, not with word files. Is anyone aware of these problems, know of any fixes/workarounds? Am I doing something wrong? Any help is very apprecitated.

Yes, I could make the server start with defaultcolor 16 in the XF86Config. But slowly I am digging man XF86Config, thanks Jukka ;-), and the other manuals for X, and then its easy anyway, to read and understand the output of X -probeonly >& outputfile, what importance the monitor section has. In the moment, I have 16 bpp at 640x400, which is fine but still not what I have in Windoze. Would be ok for "the real beast" (tm) ;-) Color cycling to this 640x400 screen with contr - alt - + (+ on the number block) works also with defaultcolor 8.

Most people who use it use this version. Seems that the installer was/is coredumping, because I still have 3.1 Release and not the newest linux base port. I would have to upgrade this first. But maybe its only the installer, that needs this upgrade (???).

BTW: From what I've heard coming > down the pike, I'm sticking with 3.2 That would be a workaround, but wouldn't solve the problem: I installed RealPlayer 7 for RedHate yesterday and it has the same problem, if I try to Open File, and go to /win98/ (symlink to /usr/win98/) it will in fact show me only directory WIN98 there, no other directories. (Btw, could this be because I installed it from rpm?) This is no problem to me, since I don't need to access realplayer files between the two OS, I have RealPlayer on win98 too, but it isn't really making me happy either. And you don't need to pay $50 for the Corel WP if it is for personal use. It is free for that, but you'll need to register it anyway. For commercial use it isn't free.

In other words, it may happen if Netscape tries to send a non-RealAudio file to the RealAudio plugin, for instance. One of the possible causes is that the site you are trying to get the information from uses redirection. I'm not sure if this helps, since I don't know the context you're getting the message in. -- Nitebirdz "Open source tries to move software from a witchcraft to a science.

Preferably, version 0.3.7 beta. Or...does anyone know of a better program? I needed to use a sniffer at work to find out why the network goes down when using Norton Ghost Multicasting software over the LAN but I can't seem to get Sniffit to work properly. The only way I can get it to work is in interactive mode only and that only seems to track UDP traffic only. When I try any of the command line options, it just says Sniffit is running and nothing else. I know how to create the config and log files but don't know where they're supposed to be stored. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this will help to gain a lot of acceptance for Unix/Linux where I work. Thanks.

Members of the Java Developer's Connection help prioritize bug fixes and RFE's by voting for the one's that they believe are needed most. The FreeBSD port RFE is currently the #1 request by far with 2953 votes vs. 819 for the #2 request. Even with this wide lead, Sun has no obligation to make an official port of Java to FreeBSD or *BSD, or to be helpful to the *BSD efforts to port Java (see www.freebsd.org/java). The larger the number of votes for our RFE, however, the more difficult it is for Sun to ignore. And the more that we can widen the lead between our #1 RFE and #2, the more dramatic a statement we (collectively) make. An official Java JDK port to FreeBSD would likely mean that all BSD's would benefit either by being able to use the FreeBSD port or by being much closer to a port of their own. In fact, many who have voted for the RFE have left comments supporting a port to *BSD, not just FreeBSD. As you may know, Sun recently teamed with Inprise to create an official port of Java to Linux (building on the work of Blackdown). The *BSD's, with a large and loyal base of developers, also deserve an official native version of Java. Please support the Java on *BSD effort by voting for the RFE at: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4288745.html If you are not already a member of Sun's Java Developers Connection, you will need to register before voting (membership is free). Your support is greatly appreciated. Thank you. John PS Please forward this message to any person, list, or organization that may want to support this effort. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Thu Apr 27 11:29:20 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from desh.cse.iitd.ernet.in (mailer.cse.iitd.ac.in [202.141.68.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C79A937B6FD for ; Thu, 27 Apr 2000 11:29:13 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from rakhesh_sasi@bigfoot.com) Received: from kafi.cse.iitd.ernet.in (csu96154@kafi.cse.iitd.ernet.in [10.20.11.14]) by desh.cse.iitd.ernet.in (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id AAA10378 for ; Fri, 28 Apr 2000 00:01:12 +0530 Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2000 00:01:11 +0530 (IST) From: Rakhesh Sasidharan X-Sender: csu96154@kafi.cse.iitd.ernet.in To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: test message Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org kindly ignore.

It is also available at http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies/) FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions about installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies questions. FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for help or answer how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies. FreeBSD-Newbies provides a place for new FreeBSD users to meet and covers any of the activities of newbies that are not already dealt with elsewhere. Examples include helping each other to learn more on our own, finding and using resources, problem solving techniques, how to seek help elsewhere, how to use mailing lists and which lists to use, general chat, making mistakes, boasting, sharing ideas, stories, moral (but not technical) support, and taking an active part in the FreeBSD community. We take our problems and support questions to freebsd-questions, and use freebsd-newbies to meet others who are doing the same things that we do as newbies. One of the things we do together is learn more effective ways to find help when we need it. Here are some suggestions: When something doesn't work the way you expect 1. First look at the errata for your release of FreeBSD at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/releases/ for the latest information and security advisories. 2. Search the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/search.html 3. If you still have a question or problem, collect the output of `uname -a' and of any relevant program(s) and email your question to FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. Mailing lists When you have a problem that you can't solve by yourself, there's only one support mailing list and that's FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. FreeBSD-questions helps with installation and basic setup as well as more general and advanced questions. You don't have to actually join freebsd-questions before asking a question there. Replies to your question will normally be sent to you personally as well as to the list. Just make sure you have read and followed the guidelines for posting, because you might find them different to what you're used to. If you do subscribe to freebsd-questions you'll have the advantage of seeing all of the recent questions and their answers. Before you post to FreeBSD-questions, please read the guidelines at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html Many of the people who answer FreeBSD-questions are very knowledgeable, but they get frustrated when they get questions which are difficult to understand. http://www.lemis.com/email.html is worth reading too. If you're not sure that you can follow these guidelines, come back and ask the other newbies for help on how to post an effective question to the support mailing list. Maybe your question has been asked before. If you search the mailing list archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search.html first you might get the answer right away. It's always worth trying. Other mailing lists (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-CHARTERS) cover specialised areas and many are more developer-oriented. You'll need to read their charters carefully before participating, but it's probably a good idea to ask on either -newbies or -questions for advice about where to post a more specialised question. FreeBSD-announce is a very low volume read-only list for occasional announcements, such as notice of new releases, and the Really Quick Newsletter. It's worth subscribing to FreeBSD-announce too. Manuals You'll always be expected to show that you have made some effort to use the available documentation before asking for help. That's not always as easy as it sounds! If you know what documentation you need but can't locate it, send a brief query to FreeBSD-questions. If you don't know what you need, always have trouble finding it, or can't make any sense of it when you do, ask some patient newbies to steer you in the right direction. Anyone interested in writing or reviewing documentation for FreeBSD is encouraged to join the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Details are at http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html Other resources A resource list is available at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html to help new and inexperienced FreeBSD users to find relevant information quickly. It includes books, on line documents and tutorials, and links to web pages that other newbies have found useful for learning. If you have a suggestion for good material to be included, please write to freebsd-newbies and tell us about it. But I have seen people asking questions here! It is quite common for people to send the wrong kind of post to a mailing list. Because we're newbies it'll certainly happen here from time to time. The best thing to do if you see a message that doesn't belong on a list is to ignore it. There's always someone around whose job it is to sort these problems out privately. The posts to the lists go straight through, whatever their content. It is going to be confusing for a little while because we're all newbies so we all make mistakes. That's OK. One thing we're going to see a fair bit is people posting questions, believing they're doing the right thing by posting here as newbies, not realising how it works. If someone answers those questions the situation will snowball. There's nothing wrong with helping someone to redirect their question to freebsd-questions, but please do so gently. There's nothing wrong with the occasional mistake either. So all questions, requests for help, etc still go to freebsd-questions as usual. Ours is more of a discussion group, a place where newbies can relax with other newbies and focus more on our successes than on our temporary imperfection. We can talk about things here that are not allowed on freebsd-questions. We're also a bit freer to make the mistakes that we need to make in order to learn. _________________________________________________________________ To Subscribe to FreeBSD-Newbies: Send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "subscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message.
