by Mel Seder 07 Oct '02

07 Oct '02

I can't seem to find a movie player for 8.0. Can anyone tell me what program to run or suggest a good video player to download? ===== MelSeder(a)yahoo.com "The sooner you make five thousand mistakes, the sooner you will be able to correct them." - Kimon Nicolaides __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Question about OS X Server
by Vijay Sankar 07 Oct '02

07 Oct '02

Good day, I was wondering about the following. What do Write_Store, LSRegister, and LSRecentTool do on a Mac OS X Server? I have searched the usual places (Google, Apple, etc.) but there does not seem to be any information. Please let know if you have any pointers or URL's or any information that you may wish to share on this. Thanks very much, Vijay Vijay Sankar, M.Eng., P.Eng.

XMMS and Red Hat 8.0 (psyche)
by Mel Seder 02 Oct '02

02 Oct '02

Note copied from front page of xmms.org ---------------------------------------- if you are using Redhat 8 and the supplied RPMS of XMMS you will find that it is not possible to load any mp3 files. Redhat was supposed to have a placeholder plugin informing you of the change, but that seems to have gone missing. Available >> here << is some additional information and a mpg123 RPM for Redhat 8 installation of XMMS. Hopefully, I've made myself clear on this subject, since Redhat apparently failed to get their message through. Note to Notting: egg->face Thomas Nilsson ( thomas at xmms.org ) ---------------------------------------- When you go to the site >> here << will take you to a link to get the new RPM version of XMMS. Just do a "rpm -Uvh xmms..." to install it. On my system I had to set the output plugin to be "OSS Driver 1.2.7" and now it works fine. ===== MelSeder(a)yahoo.com "The sooner you make five thousand mistakes, the sooner you will be able to correct them." - Kimon Nicolaides __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Why *.i386.rpm?
by Glen Ditchfield 02 Oct '02

02 Oct '02

I've got RedHat 7.3 on an old computer with an AMD K6-2 processor. Looking through /var/log/rpmpkgs, I see that nearly every package came from an i386 rpm. The exceptions are kernel-2.4.18-10.i586.rpm and xmame-0.57.1-2.i586.rpm. gcc 2.96 supports -march=k6, but the gcc info file doesn't say much. Is there any difference between -march=k6 and the intel equivalent (which would be -march=i586, I think)? Are there any programs that would benefit from recompilation for the k6 or i586? I expect XFree86 would be able to make use of the MMX instructions. How about AMD's 3DNow extensions?

by gedetil＠cs.umanitoba.ca 01 Oct '02

01 Oct '02

[Posted to man.unix.general and other news groups] ------ Forwarded Article <anclhe$5mm$1(a)canopus.cc.umanitoba.ca> ------ From gedetil(a)cs.umanitoba.ca (Gilbert E. Detillieux) The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, October 8. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Introduction to DHCP Kevin McGregor, Network Analyst with the City of Winnipeg, will describe the theory, benefits and general operation of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP is a well-defined protocol which is widely implemented but not well understood. This presentation will leave you with a good idea of how and why to implement DHCP in your network environment, whether you manage a home network or a WAN in a large company. The meeting will also include our usual round-table discussion, plus the votes on both the by-law amendments and the MUUG board of directors. The group holds its general meetings at 7:30 PM on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend. ********************************************************************** Please note our new meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy). When you arrive, you will have to sign in at the reception desk, and then wait for someone to take you (in groups) to the meeting room. Please try to arrive by about 7:15 PM, so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30 PM. Don't be late, or you may not get in. Limited parking is available for free on the street, or in a lot across Ellice from IBM, for $1.00 for the evening. Indoor parking is also available nearby, at Portage Place, for $2.00 for the evening. ********************************************************************** For more information about MUUG, and its monthly meetings, check out their Web server: http://www.muug.mb.ca/ Also note that MUUG maintains two mailing lists, called "muug-announce" and "roundtable". If you're not already on these lists, we encourage you to subscribe now: http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/ The "muug-announce" list is used for monthly meeting announcements (such as this one) as well as other important announcements of interest to MUUG members. The "rountable" list is meant to be a forum for follow-ups to topics discussed at the meetings, or for round-table-style discussion on other topics that come up between meetings. Of course, for this to be effective, we need to reach a certain critical mass. So, please subscribe, and stay involved! -- Gilbert E.

Re: [RndTbl] Red Hat Mirrors for 8.0

According to Mel Seder: > has anyone found a site that isn't too bogged down with traffic. Well, the MUUG server has hit its connection limits for non-Canadian and non-Manitoban Canadian sites, but it's still accepting connections for sites within Manitoba, for now anyway. The bandwidth to commercial sites (including most ISP's in Manitoba) is not very good at the moment, and is rate-limited at the request of the U of M's network support group, and that likely won't improve until the new year. This is particularly true for FTP connections. However, for the time being, if you come in via HTTP or anonymous RSYNC protocols, you're still rate-limited, but with less contention. So, you'll get better transfer rates that way. (Keep this information to yourself and to those on the MUUG mailing lists, otherwise that advantage will quickly disappear!) -- Gilbert E.
