Re: [coLinux-users] Win XP Bridged Network Disconnecting

[overbored <ove...@ov...>]

Perhaps I got lucky, it didn't seem so complicated. I just followed the 
instructions under 
http://www.colinux.org/wiki/index.php/coLinuxNetworking ("Using native 
network bridge support in Windows XP"). I ran the CoLinux setup 
executable. That gave me a Local Area Connection 2 under Network 
Connections. I then selected the two Local Area Connections, 
right-clicked, and chose Bridge. In the default.colinux.xml file I have:

     <network index="0" type="tap" />

All this worked before, but not anymore; creating that bridge just 
disconnects me from everything.

RE: [coLinux-users] Colinux CD?

[peter g. <plu...@bi...>]

there are a few issues here

1: installing the colinux driver (not hard but is a system level operation
requiring admin privilages)
2: conflicts with existing colinux installs on the system (see point 1) we
need the ability to customise the driver name how hard is this to add?
3: networking (im working on this one right now and im nearly there)
4: a cd is read only so you would have to use a livecd style of design

its not impossible to make a workable colinux live cd (codename conoppix)
but it will require quite some work

RE: [coLinux-users] Colinux on 98?

[peter g. <plu...@bi...>]

from the point of view of the low level stuff colinux uses win9x (95/98/ME)
is a totally different os from winnt (NT4/2K/XP)

noone has tried to port colinux to win9x yet although i expect it could be
done

[coLinux-users] Colinux CD?

[Sandy H. <sa...@st...>]

As I understand it, Colinux can either
use a Linux partition or a big Windows
file that acts as the Linux file system.

So could you build a Colinux CD that
used Windows autoboot? Put it in a
Windows box and it brings up Linux.

Has anyone tried this?

[coLinux-users] Colinux on 98?

[Sandy H. <sa...@st...>]

I have a decent Linux box for serious
computing, and another for a firewall,
but I keep a spare machine around
with Win 98 on it, mainly for games.

Has anyone tried Colinux on 98?

In a quick look at docs, I could not
find anything that gave the system
requirements on the Windows side.
If I mised it, I'd appreciate a
pointer.

[coLinux-users] Win XP Bridged Network Disconnecting

[Yang Z. <yan...@ov...>]

Hi, I was able to get XP's native bridged networking going just fine 
before (I'm on a home LAN with one of those Linksys cable/DSL DHCP 
routers). However, I temporarily removed my Local Area Connection from 
the bridge (to appease my ISP's tech support guy who thought the bridged 
network was why my Internet connection was slow). But now when I try to 
add my Local Area Connection back to the bridge, I get disconnected; I 
can't reach my LAN or get on the net. I tried recreating the bridge from 
scratch, but no difference. I saw the following details under the 
Support tab (which I think is identical to ipconfig's stdout):

For the bridge:
IP: 169.254.169.245
Subnet: 255.255.0.0
Gateway: [blank]

For my ethernet (Local Area Connection):
[all blank]

For CoLinux TAP (Local Area Connection 2):
[all blank]

I tried hitting Repair for all three, to no avail (I think this just 
does the same as ipconfig /release followed by ipconfig /renew). For the 
bridge, there's a long pause before I see the error message.

Anybody know what's going on? If it makes any difference, I have SP2, 
which has that application/port-based firewall, but I highly doubt it's 
the cause behind all this. Thanks in advance for any help.

[coLinux-users] colinux-0.6.2 alias problem

[Ian A. <ia...@ab...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the alias feature in the colinux-20040710 snapshot 
so I can dual-boot my Gentoo natively or from Windows/coLinux 
without messing up my /etc/fstab.

I have a few entries in my colinux config file as follows:

     <!-- Gentoo root -->
     <block_device index="0" path="\Device\HarddiskVolume9" 
alias="hdc10" enabled="true" />
     <!-- Swap -->
     <block_device index="1" path="\Device\HarddiskVolume6" 
alias="hdc7" enabled="true" />
     <!-- Gentoo boot -->
     <block_device index="2" path="\Device\HarddiskVolume8" 
alias="hdc9" enabled="true" />
     <!-- bootparams allows you to pass kernel boot parameters -->
     <bootparams>root=/dev/hdc10</bootparams>

Gentoo seems to boot okay until it tries to check/remount the root 
device, when it fails to open /dev/hdc10.  If I drop to a shell and 
look in the /dev directory, I see no /dev/hdc10, /dev/hdc7 or 
/dev/hdc9, but I do see /dev/hdc/10, /dev/hdc/7 and /dev/hdc/9.

(I actually have a couple more aliased partitions, but I've omitted 
the details for clarity.)

Similarly, instead of /dev/cobd0, etc., I have /dev/cobd/0, etc.

During boot, the cobd driver claims to create the aliases okay:

cobd: loaded (max 32 devices)
alias for cobd0 is hdc10
cobd alias cobd0 -> hdc10 created
alias for cobd1 is hdc7
cobd alias cobd1 -> hdc7 created
alias for cobd2 is hdc9
cobd alias cobd2 -> hdc9 created

Any idea what's going on here?  Something to do with devfs and 
devfsd, perhaps?  (I have a devfs filesystem mounted on /dev and 
devfsd running, using /dev.)  I don't have similar trouble booting 
natively with a 2.6 kernel.

Ian.

[coLinux-users] Random signal 11 problems?

[Jules <ju...@ds...>]

I've been using the colinux 2004-07-10 snapshot with some success for a 
little while now (host system WinXP Pro), but recently I decided to 
compile a new kernel as the one included with the snapshot lacks a few 
features I wanted.

I downloaded the source to the 2.6.7 kernel and applied the patch 
included in the colinux source to it, made a few changes to the config 
and then compiled it.  The resulting kernel runs, but occasionally 
processes die unexpectedly with a signal 11.  I've also seen corruption 
on my root ext3 filesystem -- I'm not sure if this was related or not.

Has anyone encountered similar problems, or is it just me?

For reference, my distribution is SuSE 9.1 personal with a load of extra 
development tools downloaded from the standard SuSE 9.1 drectory.

RE: [coLinux-users] colinux 0.6.2 with pcap (snapshot coLinux-200 40710)

[Claude L. (QB/EMC) <cla...@er...>]

Hi,

The new network interface search order to be implemented seems to be:

	(1) exact match
	(2) first substring match

And this looks pretty good. I guess most of the users will use the =
exact match. So, most of the users will get the correct network =
behavior as expected from their config file.

Thanks,

Claude LeFran=E7ois=20

coLinux does string searching instead of string matching, and "Local =

is obviously a substring of "Local Area Connection 3" - here shows the =

Perhaps we should change it to string matching instead. What's your =

  Doesn't this apply to TAP too?  Last I looked they code and
the matching is basically the same.  Why hasn't this come up
with TAP?  If it has, how was it solved for TAP?  If not, then
I should probably make the same fix for TAP.



  Anyways, I was thing that instead of breaking out of the loop
when I find an partial match, I'd keep going through the loop,
checking each item with an full string match, if that is sucessfull
then over-ride the partial match that's found, otherwise go with
the first partial match.  Basically, it'd go with the first partial,
unless an exact match was found.  And it'd only go through the
loop once, instead of twice.

RE: [coLinux-users] colinux 0.6.2 with pcap (snapshot coLinux-200 40710)

[Wegert, E. L <eri...@ed...>]

Dan:

Could we make 2 passes/attempts by doing a "string matching" and if that
fails, then do a "string searching" .. This would allow for the exact match
of "Local Area Connection" first and if not found then match on "Local Area
Connection ..." .

[coLinux-users] colinux + networking + further reading

[<stu...@ya...>]

hi all,
 
i installed colinux on  windows 2000 , did all that there was to do as written on the colinux site under installation heading ...
 
as regards to networking and colinux , which they refer as the hardest part , i dont undertsand what is the fuss all about . is it that we can access other computers on lan from the colinux console or something ....
 
further more i have to submit a 50 page report in college regarding something new that i find interesting .... and have chosen coLinux , 
plz suggest apart from the installation procedure , on colinux.org ,,,where else can i find more matter .... i read the paper which dan gave  in some linux workshop  and found it very informative .
suggest further reading please

Dan Aloni gave me a link to it but I don't remember anymore. You should 
find it easily with google, but you can also get it at 
http://nlucas.homeip.net/colinux/test/flops20.zip (it is my home pc, so 
it is possible the net be down or something).

After some googling I found this last year forums about the pentium 4 
CFLAGS problems with floating point:

http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20030401-newsletter.xml#doc_chap4

It seems one way of testing if you have a gentoo configuration that 
activates this gcc bugs is executing:

# python -c 'int(10.1); int(10000.3); int(1.2)'

If it doesn't show nothing (no error) it is because your configuration 
is ok (or you have a mixed compiled environment, off course).

coLinux does string searching instead of string matching, and "Local Area Connection"
is obviously a substring of "Local Area Connection 3" - here shows the problem. 
Perhaps we should change it to string matching instead. What's your opinion?

After looking at this earlier discussion, it is clear to me that it is
unrelated to the problem I am reporting. The key differences are:

1. The earlier discussion is from 2003-04 and earlier (more than 16
months ago) and refers to GCC version 3.2. In many places, it
states that the bugs are going to be fixed in GCC 3.3, and I am now
using GCC 3.3.4.

2. The earlier discussion does not observe any connection with linking
with libpthreads. The problem I am reporting only happens to
programs that are linked with libpthreads.

3. The earlier discussion does not refer to any difference between
Linux kernel versions. It also (obviously) does not mention
coLinux. The problem I am reporting only happens with pre-0.6.2
coLinux snapshots using Linux kernel 2.6.7 and does not happen with
coLinux 0.6.1 using Linux kernel 2.4.26.

Thanks for pointing out the earlier discussion though.

Sounds good to me. I'll prepare a patch/fix and check it in
ASAP.

I responded to this another time, I'm sure. But here goes again.
You can find this test at the following Source-Forge Track-It
item:





http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=980389&group_id=98788&atid=622063



Which is an closed bug.



Specificaly the link to get the file that has this test as C
source is:



http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=98788&atid=622063&file_id=92006&aid=980389





If you're serious about tracking this problem down, since the
developers can't seem to duplicate this problem on our machines,
I'd be willing to build special builds for you to try (steping
backwards in the source code repository versions) until we found
the version that it last works correctly in and then looking
at the code to determine what change has produced this problem
then maybe apply an fix to the latest source and have you try
it to see if it fixes your problem.

that could break stuff a lot for exsiting users
what about checking for an exact match first and then going in for the

Re: [coLinux-users] WiFi bridge with XP

[Doctor B. <do...@gm...>]

In principle a WiFi networking card is no different than any other
networking card when it comes to bridging.  However, many WiFi routers
do not accept packets bridged to another IP address.  I believe this
is done as a security consideration.  It also prevents problems from
users whom naively bridge their WiFi and LAN line, because they think
it will allow them increased bandwidth when plugged into the LAN.

[coLinux-users] WiFi bridge with XP

[Brendan J S. <Bre...@fa...>]

I have a Dell D800 with WiFi and GigEth networking.
I have colinux-20040710 running with XP in bridged mode.

Is there a way to get my WiFi interface to work with colinux, using XP 
bridging or some other method ???

Does the WiFi interface look like any other Ethernet interface or is it 
a different beast.  If it looks like an ordinary Ethernet then it should 
work with XP bridging without any problems, but I can't get it to work.

Thanks for any help,
Brendan Simon.
