Loaded the cpia module, made the video devices... says no such device /dev/video0 (altho it IS there). Anyone else got a Creative Webcam (USB) to work? :( I wanted to use gnomemeeting to talk to my sis in Canada... looks like I'll have to boot into Winblows to use it.. *boohoo* Ricardo -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

> I run a program called webcam that is included in the xawtv package, Well, I have the camera, and can modprobe cpia with success (after a kernel recompile). When I start xawtv it says that /dev/video0 does not exist. This is true, but does anyone know how to make that device (with mknod) and make sure it is pointing to the webcam (it's a USB one)?

Redhat 7.x RPMs : CDRs anyone?
by James - listmail 07 Sep '02

07 Sep '02

I'll be at CB2, Cambridge on Sunday. Have some spare time to burn CDRs for interested parties on Saturday, probably. Intel architecture and sub arch types only. Happy to hand stuff over to folk willing to collect in person. I don't have packaging materials to operate a postal service, and don't particularly want to spend money and time doing that. One Good Thing [tm] about all the disk archiving that I've done for the first week of September is to collate all the Redhat 7.x Update RPMS, and other goodies that I've built recently. For folks wanting to update a system from a new install using the original RedHat install CDs, but no ( or slow ) internet access - better to use a CD update archive. The binary update rpms (just) fit on one 700M CDR. Too early for the Redhat 7.2 backport rpms of KDE 3.0.3 that I'm still trying to build and resolve dependancies upon, BUT some other rpm packaged goodies available are: 1) selinux SELDI binary rpms for the 2002082308 release that can be rpm installed in a standard RedHat 7.2 system includes big archive of email from the NSA listserver, and documents / saved articles. 2) postgresql 7.2.2 built for RedHat 7.2 i586 and i686 3) snort IDS with a recent ruleset ( 31st Aug ) I can burn CDRs for anyone willing to compensate me for doing so ( 700M / 80min ) email me privately if interested, please. ( Within reason ) I am willing to mix n' match components to squeeze the number of CDs needed. Sizes of components: ( first column current packages; second column are obsoleted packages, MegaBytes ) RH7.2 Update RPMS: i386 469 426 i586 21 61 i686 50 179 athlon 21 81 noarch 90 0 SRPMS 546 316 images 7 - RH7.3 Update RPMS: i386 180 171 i586 25 37 i686 57 112 athlon 25 49 SRPMS 190 102 selinux : 462 snort : 11 postgres: 24 nmap: 14 Just the stuff that I have to hand. I can probably collate all the KDE 3.0.3 SRPMS from a RedHat 7.2 backporting site, but I haven't had time to resolve dependancy issues and build binaries successfully. Some way to go before all that is operational, and fit to install. These weigh in at about 83 MBytes AFAIR. Anyone else been working on RedHat 7.2 KDE 3.0.3 RPMS by any chance? If you have, and know exactly how to resolve all the missing deps, do tell! -- James To reply by private email DONT delete the "nospam" in Reply To or From header addresses!

Webalizer and stdin problem
by bsamuels＠beenthere-donethat.org.uk 04 Sep '02

04 Sep '02

I want Webalizer to take its input from STDIN by using something like cat various*.log|webalizer -c /path/to/webalizer.conf I find that if I enable DNS lookups, which I want, Webalizer does all the lookups and then stops, displaying the number of addresses resolved, but does not produce any output. If I disable the DNS lookups it produces all the expected output but, of course, no resolved addresses. If I cat the log files to another single file, which I don't want to do, Webalizer will do DNS lookups and produce the expected output if this file is specified as the log file. Does anyone know how I can get Webalizer to do both using STDIN? Regards Barry Samuels

For a 'fresh start', and to pay a bit closer attention to what exactly is going on during the install. Think I was scared to look last time! Plus, what else would I want to do on a Saturday?*g* It will partition itself within the two hd's then? Am working (studying, researching, swearing) on 2 other things Linuxy atm and don't wish to get into partitioning if I can avoid it.

Webcams
by Ricardo Campos 02 Sep '02

02 Sep '02

heh, broadband soon, and with it I want to set up a webcam. Has anyone got any tips on which of the programs to use in order to achieve this? I would probably want to host the webcam locally, i.e. set up apache so ppl can just browse to a dyndns hostname. TIA Ricardo -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

Linux wins!
by Kelly Ash 02 Sep '02

02 Sep '02

Once again (can't count the times in the past 6 months alone) Bills creation has taken a dive and I'm done. What I'd like to know now is how differently an install is if it's going to be a Linux only machine? I didn't do any partitioning for the current installation (dual with Win98se - each having their own hd) and let Linux go about it's business. I want to wipe both hd's and start again from scratch with NO Win anything on here. Due to Malcolms kind offer, I'll be installing the ProSuite edition of Mandrake 8.2 and was curious as to how Linux will see/use 2 empty hd's. As always, any pointers and tips thankfully accepted!!

Kword and ISpell
by Martyn Drake 02 Sep '02

02 Sep '02

Any Kword fans out there? If so, what do you do when Kword complains that "ISpell cannot be started - check that it is configured correctly and is in your PATH", and having checked all of that, still doesn't work (same error). This is on a RedHat 7.1 box with Kword 2.1.1.. Regards, Martyn

It appears it's a pretty decent Server Admin job in New York, responsible for running some 100+ Redhat boxes for a bank. Jason tells me it's a high calibre job with high a salary ticket, so thought someone may be interested? Perhaps if you are also happy, you may like to forward to your lists?

Retchmail also supports spop (and is much simpler and faster, but doesn't do multidrop or other things fetchmail gets wrong itself). APOP should be in the snapshots now. There is interest in someone updating fastforward to support SSLing a port forward. There's already SSL support in its stream library, so shouldn't be too hard. It's just that it's not been needed yet, so no-one's written it. Fastforward is a fast port forwarder that tries not to waste more CPU or memory than absolutely necessary. It's with retchmail at http://open.nit.ca/ Maybe if you're not interested, someone in your LUG might be? Feel free to forward this request onwards.
