Subject: aewm++-1.0.11 has been released
Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2001 19:29:28 CST

http://sapphire.sourceforge.net

Here is the change log:

1.0.11 (3 Nov 2001)

   * made it so transients can't be iconified.
   * fixed up _NET_WORKAREA to take into account _NET_WM_STRUT that have
     been set by clients.

     encountered a time yet when I needed to maximize one. =)
   * code clean up in client.hh and client.cc
   * fixed a bug in switching desktops which wouldn't take into account
     if a window was iconified and it set its state to Withdrawn.
   * added _NET_WM_STRUT support.
   * added a setenv() function for those Unix systems that don't have one.
     thanks to Jeremy Naylor for this patch! This is a compile time option.
     Edit the Makefile and uncomment #NEED_SETENV in the DEFINES line.
   * Fixed bug which involved Gimp starting and looking like it had
     the focus when it really didn't.
   * Tweaked click to raise window.
   * Tweaked the setFocus function.
   * Fixed motion handler to make sure button1 is the only button
     which can drag a window.

Subject: Commercial: Linux System Administration Bootcamp W/Free Laptop!
Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2001 19:29:26 CST
Reply-To: info@linuxcertified.com

Hi All,

LinuxCertified.com announces the  weekend system administration
bootcamp for IT professionals

- All attendees get a free Linux laptop!

Contact:
info@linuxcertified.com
http://www.linuxcertified.com/

LinuxCertified.com,  a  leading  provider of Linux training, will
offer its next  weekend  system  administration  bootcamp on
November 10-11, 2001 in San Francisco bay  area (south bay).
This workshop is designed for busy information technology  pro-
fessionals and is designed to cover the most important Linux
administration areas.

In  addition  to carefully designed lecture material delivered by
experienced Linux professionals, there is  a  heavy  emphasis  on
hands-on learning. The training starts two weeks before the actu-
al class, with access to an online Linux server,  where  students
complete  few  challenging  pre-class activities. Attendees get a
powerful Linux laptop on their arrival, along  with  other  class
materials.  They load Linux on their laptop during the class, and
use it for all the class activities and assignments.  At the  end
of  the  class they take this laptop with them to further enhance
their Linux expertise. Absolute beginners with no UNIX experience
can  first  come  to  the popular "Linux for Beginners" class and
subsequently join the system administration bootcamp.

Rapid growth of Linux into corporate and government  IT  environ-
ments is fueling the need for Linux certified professionals. CIOs
and managers are eager to have Linux experts in  their  organiza-
tions.  A  certification  provides a tangible mechanism for their
hiring evaluation, as well as a means to market  the  prowess  of
organizations.

"As  an independent IT consultant I am always on my toes to learn
new technologies, without much free time to  devote  to  classes.
The LinuxCertified.com bootcamp was a perfect way for me to jump-
start my Linux knowledge.  I  can now use  Linux  as  a  valuable
tool in my career," said Taylor Cottam, an independent consultant
who joined one of the LinuxCertified.com weekend bootcamps.

This  weekend bootcamp is specially designed to prepare  the  at-
tendees   for  the  objectives of Level 1 certification exams of-
fered by Linux  Professional  Institute (LPI). The workshop  also
meets the objectives of the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) ex-
am and Sair Linux  &  GNU  certification  (LCA).

Our attendees build a strong sense of community with our instruc-
tors, fellow students, and our network  of  recruiters  and  com-
panies looking for Linux consultants.

About LinuxCertified.com

The mission of LinuxCertified.com is to bring Linux to mainstream
IT  usage.   We  firmly believe that Linux has an enormous poten-
tial, once it crosses over from the early adopters  to  the  more
mainstream  users. Our goal is to help this transition by providing:

- Linux trained and certified professionals

- Linux certified products that cater to mainstream users  rather
   than early adopters.

Subject: Ann: C interpreter for GTK+ and X11/Motif is available now
Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2001 19:29:34 CST


SoftIntegration, Inc., the leader of scripting technology for ubiquitous
computing, has released Ch GTK+ and Ch X11/Motif toolkits. These
toolkits add new graphical user interface (GUI) capabilities to Ch --- a
cross-platform
C virtual machine with classes.

The Ch X11/Motif toolkit conforms to the X11/Motif of the X Window
System. The Ch GTK+ toolkit is Ch binding to GTK+. X11/Motif and GTK+
are application programming interface (API) in C with widgets for
creating graphical user interface in multi-platforms. With Ch-GTK+ and
Ch-X11/Motif toolkits, developers can now write C applications with
user-friendly graphical interface in one platform and distribute them to
run in multiple platforms, without tedious compile/link/execute/debug
cycles.

Ch GTK+ toolkit version 1.0 beta runs in Windows/Linux/Unix, whereas Ch
X11/Motif toolkit version 1.0 beta runs in Linux and Unix.  Both are
available free for Ch users.

       http://www.softintegration.com

For what it's worth, I just wanted to say you guys are doing a hell of a
good job moderating this list.  I have no doubt it takes a lot of time,
or if your robots do most of the work, I'm sure it took a lot of time to
set them up.

I've always been impressed at how the list stays on topic and doesn't
have a lot of spam.  Your efforts are greatly appreciated by the
thousands of lurkers in this world.

Subject: SOLUTION: lilo awol on win/lin dual-boot, boot disk gives kernel panic
Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2001 19:29:43 CST

I installed Mandrake 6.1 to dual-boot on a Windows 98 machine. 
Everything worked fine for a long time, then one day LILO simply didn't
load anymore when booting.  I tried booting with the Mandrake bootdisk,
and that gave me a kernel panic error.  More detailed information on
the problem and solution below.


I have one 6GB hard disk which, _previous_ to installing Mandrake, was
partitioned into:
  c:\ FAT32 2GB
  d:\ FAT32 2GB
  e:\ FAT32 1.6GB
  f:\ FAT   0.4GB

I installed Mandrake replacing the e: partition with 3 EXT2 partitions
(root, swap, home).  Everything worked great, LILO would start when
booting the computer.


Problem:

After a few weeks my computer started simply booting to Windows, LILO
had disappeared, but Windows worked.  If I tried booting with the
Mandrake boot disk, it would stall during the boot up checks at the
following lines:
     Partition check:
       hda: hda1 hda2 < hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 >
     Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:07

Eventually I noticed that the e: drive (previously f: - the FAT drive)
had disappeared entirely from Windows (and the whole system.)  It turns
out this is what caused the entire problem.


Solution:

I downloaded and created the very useful "tomsrtbt" diskette, which
contains a complete Linux distribution on a floppy, and allows you to
mount the different partitions.

I booted with that and ran `/sbin/fdisk -l`, which gave:

   Device Boot    Start      End   Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1      261  2096451    b  Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda2           262      783  4192965    5  Extended
/dev/hda5           262      522  2096451    b  Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda6           523      611   714861   83  Linux native
/dev/hda7           612      627   128488+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hda8           628      665   305203+  83  Linux native

Evidently the 3rd windows partition - hda6 (the FAT one after the ext2
ones) had disappeared.

I downloaded and installed the free Windows program 'explore2fs'.  This
lets you read Linux files and/or export them to Windows.

explore2fs showed 2 partitions:
hda6 (root)
hda8 (home)

I booted with tomsrtbt and took a look at /etc/fstab.  hda6 was indeed
still being set up as a DOS partition, and hda7, hda8 and hda9 were
root, swap and home.

Here is the diff that was necessary - 'diff /etc/fstab
/etc/fstab.orig':

1,3c1,3
< /dev/hda6 / ext2 defaults 1 1
< /dev/hda7 swap swap defaults 0 0
< /dev/hda8 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
---
> /dev/hda7 / ext2 defaults 1 1
> /dev/hda8 swap swap defaults 0 0
> /dev/hda9 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
10a11
> /dev/hda6 /mnt/DOS_hda6 vfat user,exec,rw,conv=auto 0 0

So basically I just decremented the Linux partition numbers to take
into account the partition which had vanished, and deleted the previous
hda6 line.

This correction allowed me to boot into Linux with the Mandrake
bootdisk, but LILO was still nowhere to be found during bootup.

I decided to use Loadlin, another Linux loader.  I got Loadlin.exe from
the Mandrake CD under directory 'dosutils' (can also easily be found on
the net) and put it in a Windows folder named c:\linux.

Then, using explore2fs, I found my compressed Linux kernel (in my case
it was /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.13-7mdk) and exported it (right-click) to the
c:\linux folder.  I named it 'vmlinuz' in Windows.

Finally, so that I would be given the choice of Linux or Windows when
booting, I edited my c:\config.sys with my favorite text editor and
added the following:



[menu]
menuitem=WIN, Windows Boot
menuitem=LINUX, Linux Boot

[LINUX]
shell=c:\linux\loadlin.exe c:\linux\vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 ro

[WIN]



A big thanks goes out to the ever helpful readers of
comp.os.linux.setup!

M station News for November 01
===============================

Hi Everyone,
This month we have an update again and as promised
we have some tech stuff. Our BeatZ section has a new
eclectic emphasis now instead of being mostly dance music.
We also have another makeover which goes back to the old
dark background. Our excuse is that Mstation.org just had
a birthday and, well, the dog ate the old logo.

Here is what we have ...

John Lazarro talks about the new networking facilities
for sfront for linux.
Article

Stagefright is icky. We look at ways to make it go away.
Article

Next month we have an interview with DAP developer Richard
Kent in addition to whatever else we come up with.

Cheers
John

Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2001 19:29:51 CST

Dear users of both large and small computing tools,

A new release of Guikachu is available.

About Guikachu
==============
Guikachu is a GNOME application for graphical editing of resource
files for PalmOS-based pocket computers. The user interface is
modelled after Glade, the GNOME UI builder.

Catch it all from http://cactus.rulez.org/projects/guikachu/

Features
========
* libXML-based I/O
* Exporting to PilRC .rcp files (compile with pilrc -H)
* String resources
* Dialog resources
* Menu resources
* Form resources
* Per-application resources (e.g. version number, icon)
* Form editor, with 100% accurate preview and graphical drag & drop
  capability to make designing forms more easier and faster
* Native font support in the form editor for more precise
  preview
* XSLT style sheets and shell script to generate RCP files from
  Guikachu documents

About this release
==================
All the bugfixes and features planned for 1.0 are finished, so this is
the feature-freeze release.

Changes:
        * Lots of bug- and memory leak-fixes
        * Session Manager support: the last opened file is remembered
          accross sessions
        * The editor of Dialog resources uses the same list editor as
          the List widget editor

So, what does the future hold? The 0.98.x line will be for bugfixes,
and 0.99.0 will be the release candidate for 1.0. Of course, this all
means that everything is pretty much going to stay the same, so now is
a good time to work on the translations and the documentation. 
http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/14820/2001/10/0/6922132/ has the
details.

Guikachu uses GTK-- and GNOME-- for its user interface. File I/O is
implemented with the libxml package. Dialog windows are loaded via
libglade. You will need the versions of these packages available in
the GNOME 1.4 bundle (with the exception of GNOME-- which you will
need to upgrade to version 1.2.0)
To actually create the PalmOS resource files, you will also need PilRC
(part of the GNU PalmOS SDK) to compile the .rpc files produced by
Guikachu.

Beware of bugémons!

        Cactus
