|

Well, i installed the SuSe 8.2 pro, and it's really nice. Found Kino
|
|
and got my firewire DV video camera to download some AVI files. wow! To
|
|
get a final product SVCD of my little princess riding horses, i decided
|
|
to use Cinelerra.it won't install, because libstdc++so.3 isn't found.
|
|
I have all the C++ from SuSe, but, not this.
|
|
</STRONG></P>
|
|
<P><STRONG>
|
|
My Questions:
|
|
1 i have the files from a Linux Format DVD "essentials" section. It
|
|
looks "involved" to install. Do i need the one file libstdc++so.3, or
|
|
the whole group?
|
|
</STRONG></P>
|
|
<P><STRONG>
|
|
2 Could you recommend a course of action. I would like to do some video
|
|
editing again. I'm 1/2 way there and real excited. Dang! i'm getting
|
|
all shaky again!

This looks like a classic case of "I cannot find the symlink". I usually
|
|
get annoyed at programs that do this, but the solution is simple:
|
|
</BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE><BLOCKQuote>
|
|
1. Find "libstdc++" (possibly in <TT>/usr/lib/</TT>)
|
|
</BLOCKQuote></BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE><BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
|
|
2. ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++ /usr/lib/libstdc++so.3
|
|
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
(What you may find is that a file called "libstdc++so.so" exists, and
|
|
should that point of a library file, symlink it as appropriate).
|
|
</BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
3. run "ldconfig -X" (as root)
|
|
</BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
(Step 3 is there to keep the cache happy, although it is usually not
|
|
needed).

Hi,
|
|
We have leaseline from our isp and they have given us
|
|
8 ethernet ipz(public ip) for our internal servers.
|
|
The problem is that our ispz dns doesnt work properly.
|
|
so i thought of setting up my own dns.
|
|
</STRONG></P>
|
|
<P><STRONG>
|
|
I was able to setup the dns on the private

<P><STRONG>
|
|
network(192.168.1.1-first ethernet card) successfully
|
|
but was not able to setup the dns properly on the
|
|
public ip(another ethernet card). What wud be reverse
|
|
lookup zone file in the case of public ip?(I was
|
|
given by my isp only 8 pulic ipz ).
|
|
Anticipating ur reply

|

This can only be done by subnet assignment. The ISP needs to
|
|
create entries for your in their reverse zone file which point
|
|
to your server. Look for CIDR or Classless Internet Domain Routing
|
|
on google.
|
|
</BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
I think this is only applicable if bot hyou and the ISP use "bind".
|
|
If you use DJBernstein's domain name server programs then things are
|
|
different.
|
|
</BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
To repeat, this is only possible through co-operation with the entity
|
|
(presumably your ISP) who has been authorised to provide reverse lookup
|
|
to the entire Class C net to which your eight addresses belong.

Hi there dude,

</P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
i have a general question regarding Home LAN setup on Linux
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
I have 2 PCs to be networked and sharing a connection. Do i need 2 network
|
|
cards, 1 leading out to the outside world, another leading to my internal
|
|
LAN? Is this setup common? Will it help in LAN security?
|
|
</P>

Thanks a mil

Generally speaking, if you're using one of the Linux boxes as a
|
|
router/firewall. If you're using, say a LInksys router/firewall, then
|
|
no, you don't need two NICS in one Linux box.

<p><em>That "rumor" is per a Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML) post by Sam Flory. It's probably mirrored lots of places, but here's a pointer:

<br>In the rest of the thread, Hugo notes that he's only looking for
|
|
basic drive-access features, but above, he notes that he hasn't managed to code them
|
|
up himself, and is giving up (his main contribution having been patching
|
|
the PCI ID recognition). For fairness sake they have binary modules for a few other stock boxed-linux kernels but as soon as you stray off the beaten path - and possibly as soon as you upgrade even if staying within the distro's offered kernels - someone else will have to figure out why the SiI3112 chip hates Seagate SATA drives.<em></p>

<p><em>Meanwhile, if you're the sort who bristles about binary-only drivers going into your otherwise trustable kernel, look out for VIA's "support" for the MPEG2 hardware on their EPIA boards, too. -- Heather</em></p>

Then it tells you your system's clock may be so wrong it is causing the
|
|
problem. What is
|
|
really going on is the certificate and the up2date program is out of
|
|
date. You need to
|
|
download the lateest up2date from Redhat.

Might be good to try an rpm --rebuilddb command, too. Just in case
|

rpm segfaults on a corrupted dbm/database.

How do I get a snapshot (preferably in gif or jpg format) of the current

I haven't run KDE for years

(I'm an FVWM fan), but I do know that "ImageMagick" offers the "import"

utility which does the same thing, as does "xwd".

For the ImageMagick method I keep a directory named prn and if I like

what I captured I rename this image. This happens to also be where I

keep documents I only have around to be printed. Here's my bash alias

Note that the man page for import is actually readable - you can take

Actually i am not using red hat, although it is insalled on my pc.
|
|
Rather
|
|
i am using cygwin (<A HREF="http://cygwin.com"
|
|
>http://cygwin.com</A> which is linus-like environment for
|
|
windows platform - my OS is Windows 2000) for these rpms. It is working
|

fine with .tar and .gz files..but giving problems with all the files of
|

rpm format.

That is the problem! I have used Cygwin before, but I didn't know that
|
|
they
|
|
had even ported over RPM! In any case, if your need is just for a Java
|
|
SDK,
|
|
you can download the one available for Windows from the Sun website.
|
|
Install
|
|
it and the java, javac and other commandline tools will be available to
|
|
you
|
|
under Cygwin. Just remember to update the PATH variable with the directory
|
|
where the Java binaries are located.

|
|
For other Linux utilities that are not available from the Cygwin mirrors,
|
|
you will have the best chance with the .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 files of those
|
|
applications.

I have a NVIDA GForce 2 Go 100 card that supports
