ODBC on RH8
by Tony Dietrich 16 Mar '03

16 Mar '03

I've just started try to do some programming on a Linux based system, after years of working in WinDoze. One of the first hurdles I'm facing is that the current project requires accessing a remote MySql server (remote, but on the same LAN). I'm assuming its possible to set up some sort of ODBC service, but for the life of me I can't find out the right way to do this. Has anyone got any hints please? I'm using NetBeans or KDevelop, as my programming environment, it that affects anything :P -- Tony Dietrich Transoft Computer Consultants 07769710115

Gnome 1.4 Startup Program Problem
by Keith Watson 14 Mar '03

14 Mar '03

Any ideas on this one? My system is based on Debian Woody, I'm using Gnome 1.4 with Enlightenment 0.16.5 with Nautilus as my desktop manager (so I can drop icons on the desktop - works a treat! :o) ). I'm using 'chbg' to randomly change my desktop background and that works fine too Problem is I've set chbg as an application to startup with Gnome when I log in, trouble with that is that each time I log out and then back in another copy of chbg starts up. How do I prevent multiple copies of chbg starting up? Keith ____________ Courage does not always roar, sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying; 'Sod it! Let's go down the pub!!'

Many thanks to everyone who sent me help on fixing my file ownership problems. Chown -R worked perfectly. Another one for the notebook! Thanks again, Gerald.

Changing file owners
by Edenyard 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

Dear All, I'd be grateful for some guidance on this. As a Linux novice, I set up my system and used it with gay abandon as root (I know, I know...), gathering all sorts of useful data on the disk. Now I know better (!), I have different user accounts, but the problem is that I have entire directories with subdirectories under them and files in all those, all of which belong to root/root. WHen I want to move them as an ordinary user, of course I'm denied access. My question is: is there a command that I can issue (as root, presumably) that will go through an entire directory (including all the subs and files in each), changing the ownership of everything to what I specify (e.g., root/users or gerald/users, perhaps)? Any clues most welcome! Gerald.

wvstreams
by BenEBoy 12 Mar '03

12 Mar '03

Could anyone help please? I'm trying to compile wvstreams under linux 2.4.20 & gcc 3.2 (on my LFS system) but it keeps moaning about assigning a char** to a const char ** in wvcrypto.cc. I've tried patching it to sort out the problems it has with gcc 3.2 but it still doesn't work. Could someone shine some light for me please? please? cheers, BenE

If you can get the source then you should be able to re-build it for you machine - failing that why not upgrade your kernel - it always works for me (when I playing around it does) Tom __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
