psDoom - kill processes via Doom
by Ashley T. Howes PhD 16 Nov '02

16 Nov '02

Just read about using Doom as a user interface to killing processes on your Linux box, and thought I would share this cool app with the group. Check it out at: http://psdoom.sourceforge.net Note: * wounding a process monster is equivalent to renicing it * keep shooting and you will kill the process Hmm, I wonder what the affect of the BFG as root would have ;) -- Ashley T.

Saving /var/log/dmesg
by Paul 16 Nov '02

16 Nov '02

Hi Folks Having fun and games here trying to track down a bug that is causing my kernel to crash and do a cold boot. Much of the information I need is in the /var/log/dmesg (oops reports, etc), but this is overwritten on the next boot - Question: Is there any way of saving an old dmesg log at the next boot ? I've tried adding a "mv -f /var/log/dmesg /var/log/old-dmesg" to the end of rc.sysinit, but it copies the current dmesg log. Regards, Paul.

Samba 2.2.3a-6 not showing files
by N3tw0rkAng31B0y 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

I have a local guest account called winguest. winguest has a password via linux passwd and smbpasswd. I wish to share a directory called /home/ricardo/mp3 , and all the files and directories below it. At first, the directories and files were owned by ricardo, group ricardo and chmod'd 700. So... I created a group called winguest, added my normal linux user to it, and also the winguest account. I: chgrp -R winguest mp3/ chmod -R 770 mp3/ I can "see" the shares using gnomba on the local machine, but they are empty (i.e. reports as 0 files). The appropriate lines in my smb.conf are: [mp3] comment = mp3 files writable = yes path = /home/ricardo/mp3/ public = yes I suspect I have done something silly with file permissions, because in the /var/log/samba/log.pixiedust file (pixiedust being the samba server) I have: [2002/11/14 17:13:35, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(589) pixiedust (192.168.0.2) Can't change directory to /home/ricardo/mp3 (Permission denied) Using gnomba on my laptop, I get a different problem. When trying to access these files I get the following error: mounted on:>/tmp/PIXIEDUST_mp3< Gnome-Message: gnome_execute_async_with_env_fds: returning -1 There is no mention of the laptop being denied access in log.pixiedust. Any ideas?

Fwd: 88Mhz an' still chuggin via Syleham
by MJ Ray 13 Nov '02

13 Nov '02

Sent to wrong address. Please use main(a)lists.alug.org.uk Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2002 07:46:06 GMT From: fluff <fluff(a)zetnet.co.uk> Subject: 88Mhz an' still chuggin via Syleham Dear Egg Spurts - herewith the Debian3 installation saga, Episode 97. Despite successful restrarts with lilo/linux s/dselect/install, the process seems to fail when it gets to the request to acces the web to get the ibm.jdk files. I respond "no+return" but get the same loop. I have d/l the tgz files and burned to CD but can't get install process to look at cd-rom and since system doesn't seem to look at cd-rom, can't copy tgz file to /tmp! Have I invented perpetual emotion? Or as Chef Fourwalls says, "If we 'ad some eggs, we could have eggs and bacon, if we had some bacon."

Why I'm getting involved in linux: It looks fun. It looks like it works better than WinXX whatever. It looks like WinXX whatever is only going to get worse! Dave Cooper
