Other than that, this says to me that there is something to do with ReiserFS (i.e. it messed up the unmounting)- hence why ME can boot and linux cannot. perhaps boot onto a gnu floppy like Tomsrtbt http://www.toms.net/rb/ and fsck hda5, although I'm not sure if it supports reiserfs, since I do not use Reiserfs myself. Ok, so it's a stab in the dark.... Ricardo -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

That's brilliant, thanks! I wonder if the alug website would benefit from a list of similar type links to add to apt sources for debian users? Jenny.

jre for debian
by Jenny_Hopkins＠toby-churchill.com 14 Mar '02

Hello list, Before i go to the bother of downloading this java runtime environment j2re-1_3_1_02-linux-i386.bin and installing it, can anyone tell me if there is a handy equivalent debian package ready to just rock 'n' roll? The wealth of possibilities in the packages has confused me somewhat. Thanks, Jenny.

Help needed to compile a C app.
by Paul 13 Mar '02

13 Mar '02

Hi Folks I'm fast running out of time trying to get a bunch of stuff ready for a conference in about six weeks time. In an attempt to convert a group of M$ devotees to the wonderfull world of penguins, I have hit a brick wall. I have a C/C++ application that I have been told will compile and run in a Microsoft environment - Whilst I can compile and test it under Linux, I don't have the tools for MS. Is there anyone in Norwich willing to attempt a compile for a W95 platform ? I have all the sources on a CD along with Tcl/Tk for the GUI frontend. I know it's a bit like asking CAMRA to drink larger.... Regards, Paul.

Yes. Excellent. Having somewhere for the 'v' option to send the output to has made the cron task happy. (As in >tar -cvzf $OF /var/www/ /home/cvs > /tmp/some_logfile 2>&1) I guess I had two ways of mending this then, what I did which was to give a file for the v output to go to, or remove the 'v' option, as someone else suggested. Now to the task of finding how to do a rotating cron thing that deletes the backup files when they are more than a week old, and my box backs up using a simple file at no cost. Unspoken dig at the extremely expensive backup software our ntserver runs. But it does have a *lovely* gui. (sarcasm intended). Thanks to all for help. Jenny.

Xv
by Ricardo Campos 12 Mar '02

12 Mar '02

This may be a little silly but- anyone know how to take a screenshot of a desktop that has an Xv application (i.e. Ogle) playing on it? As Xv runs ontop of the desktop, you just get a blue screen normally. Minor problem, but annoying. ;) Ricardo -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze
