Hi
Network card is up and running. A big thanks to all the ppl who pitched in .. esp. Binulal and jtd.
I then planned my next big jump. Installed Samba and reached my next dead end. This time it appears to be a common problem. Use google with the search string as "samba no service destination end-point" or
http://news.cbn.net.id/cgi-bin/dnewsweb?cmd=article <http://news.cbn.net.id/cgi-bin/dnewsweb?cmd=article&group=comp.os.linux.net…> &group=comp.os.linux.networking&item=121336&utag=
I am getting the same response. Couldn't get far with the docs either.
Also was curious which user account would Samba use. Do I need to create a specific user account on the machine from where I access the share on the Linux box....
Also smbstatus gives me a cryptic lock error
#Samba version 2.2.5
#Service uid gid pid machine

#Can't initialise locking module - exiting

LST250 FWT works at 230Kbps. Just set Baud = 230400 in /etc/wvdial.conf.Ofcourse the over-the-air speed stays at 4.5kbps or so.

Hi Linuxers,
Running Mandrake Linux 9.1 (kernel 2.4.21) out here. I
copied couple of files (excel) from a floppy to my
home dir. 2/3 hours later, i noticed that the floppy
LED is constantly on and the drive is being
continously accessed. So, i did ctrl+alt+f12 to see
the kernel(?) messages and i found this:-

To stop the floppy drive access, i put back in the
same floppy, ran ls and then took it out. After that,
my floppy drive's LED is repeatedly blinking on & off,
even as i write this mail. On checking the messages
again, i got this:-

I use reliance connection to access internet and their dialer too. I dont know why, but any other way fails to connect me to internet (like wvdial, kppp or pppd on command line).
I am able to connect to internet at a very slow speed as against that in windoz. Also, it shows a very low value of MTU (264). I tried to change it in /etc/ppp/options to "mtu 1500", but whenever I connect again, the values get vanished (gayab). How do I change the MTU values? Or get faster internet?
And one more thing, I always need to be root to run the reliance dialer (even switching to root is of no use) and changing permissions does no good. How do I make it run by a normal user (or even after su to root).

Hi all,
I've so far been enjoying the stability,security and freedom because of OSS Linux,but I think the guys @ the Open Source has been straining more on applications of stability and security and making Linux easy to use but I think they miss out one area is gaming...look at all the major games they all run on Win with advanced graphics and high resolutions which leaves a geek like me sticking to Win for games.
So here goes a request to all game developers to make a version on Linux where you can use OpenGL and make ppl like me happy :D
...waiting to exhale.
Rgds,

hi,
i was just experimenting with the phone settings when i found that the
default 115 kbps can be changed to 230.4 kbps. but the phone doesn't
respond when i try to connect. but i found one web page which claims it
can be done, anybody tried connecting at speeds higher than 115. the
link is given below, its written on the bottom of the page, but i am
not able to do it.
here is the link...

Hi Sel,
May almost all games from 'Activision' works fine in Linux; either they have publish linux version or patch is available on net; I played q3a and rtcw on linux better than window$.
And go for 'frozen-bubble'. It's amazing game and OpenSource game of the year from LinuxQuestions.org !!

Using the term `ethical hacking' assumes that there is something
called `unethical hacking'. All hacking is good. Cracking is bad.

Someone wanted to know about device drivers. There's a decent book by
Alessandro Rubini. I forget the title, but a google or amazon search
should turn it up.

One program's data is another program's metadata.
We are developing a pyTGK based application, in which we need the
graphical output of other applications (blender, and gnuplot) to be
shown in the parent window of our application. Presently we able to
create new windows for them, but we wish them to be integrated with in
our application window.
How to do this? any clues? is there another application that does
simialar thing?
Thanks
