Re: Version 2 All Betas - Error in /etc/init.d/network

Mike,

I agree about the DHCP. Beta 5 was terrible. I am using Beta 4 with my own
version of the storage.hotplug to allow access to USB and I am fairly happy
with it.

I only every use RDP so perhaps the problem with the host name is also
related to this. The quotes fix definitely fixed my problem.

Cheers, Steve Flynn

Hi Miles,

beta 6 is great, the libz is included for the dillo.
Thanks also for the upgrade version 0.8

Mike,

I can confirm the behaviour that Steven mentions.
Although I've only tested uptill version 2.0b41, in my case it seems to have 
to do with enabling or disabling dhcp. When I put ALL the networksettings on 
the CD, I see this behaviour, but when I do use DHCP, it is fine.

xfree 4.40 released

Hi All,

Any idea where things are at with the license debate? 
Do we still want to hold off releasing this into TS?

Btw, course I'm on is going well :o)

Cheers

Miles

I think it is safe to assume nothing will change the next couple of 
months! Now it is an ego contest.

If I understand correctly then, the latinamerican keyboard (code 'la')  
is:

In console, la-latin1.kmap.gz

In X, it wasn't on the list.. I could send you the file that came with  
my distribution (I'm using with a latinamerican MS-Natural keyboard):
I have both a /usr/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/la and a
/usr/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/la

In Rdesktop, it wasn't on the list either.

In Blackbox, the language should be es_AR

As I went looking for these files, I discovered that the PXES project  
(mentioned in the Links area in thinstation's website) already has  
support for this keyboard. They have a xkb/symbols/la file and also a
rdesktop/keymaps/la file. Since they're both GPL, I think we should  
incorporate those files into the Thinstation distribution. I can send  
these as well.

Thanks

Re: Thinstation-developer digest, Vol 1 #242 - 3 msgs

Paul,

This is exactly right.

The reason is that the error code is only executed when you have a fixed IP
address.

When DHCP is used different code is used in the script, which happens to be
the same as my corrected code sample (that's where I got the correct code
from).

Cheers, Steve Flynn

Re: USB CDROM & Floppy Device Security

My guess is that SAMBA_SECURITY=Server takes care of this, but I only use 
the insecure SECURITY=User myself since I have no domain controller.
