[coLinux-users] Any plans to support hyperthreading?

[Glen S. <gs...@gm...>]

I've got a hyperthreaded system.  I'd rather not turn it off if
possible.  Are there any plans for support of hyperthreading in
colinux?

Read the Samba manual. Write config file as usual. Start the necessary 
services (smbd and nmbd). 

I went through this, and it works. 

Hmmm.. "to mount the user homepage"? I think I'll use that for my sig :)

I want to run a samba server on my colinux (Fedora 1 running on a

Is there any advice on what to do for the configuration file to mount

Have a look at NEWS:

* Bug fix: Proper floating point state preservation in the Linux

So maybe you have better luck with colinux-20040710,exe...

I read a while back that you could use the windows NTFS driver under linux.

See: http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/
However readingh details at 
http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/doc/Details.html.pl
reveals limitations that perhaps make it unsuitable for real use

Or you can pay for commercial support: http://www.ntfs-linux.com/
but I dont know how well it would work under coLinux, the source not 
being available.

I think the parent is right, use sambauntil hostfs support is provided.

Re: [coLinux-users] random floating point errors

[miguel m. <jj...@gm...>]

thanks to those who have replied.

I've just upgraded to 0.6.1 from 0.6.0, and I think things became
worst. For proper context, I'd try to explain what I'm doing. I have a
lisp program (in cmucl) that generates tons of circuits (~100k). This
is piped to (a modified) gnucap, a circuit simulator and then my lisp
program gets the simulation result and do some stuff with it. I'm
doing this on my "job" pc, which is in windows and there is no windows
port of cmucl (gnucap too, but that is hack-able) that's why I have to
go through the colinux route. cygwin won't do.

Last time on 0.6.0, cmucl is spitting "Floating point
exception|error|something-to-that-effect" and then I apt-get upgrade-d
and then cmucl stopped doing that. Then in the middle of the program
it would suddenly halt because gnucap generated NaN, which is not
expected. I simulate the offending circuit and, if gnucap won't abort
and return 139, I don't see that NaN.

I am not aware of this. So I guess it just can't be done (for now).

I think this is in the kernel headers, and probably corresponds to
some floating point error =)

[coLinux-users] Swap Partition

[Andrew M. <AM...@ci...>]

I have a 1GB swap partition on my system from a dual boot Redhat
installation I used to have.  Is it possible to tell coLinux to use this,
even though I'm running my root filesystem from my C drive as follows:

    <block_device index="0"
path="\DosDevices\c:\coLinux\Debian-3.0r0.ext3.1gb" 
    enabled="true" />

Thanks,
Andrew.

Re: [coLinux-users] random floating point errors

[Henry N. <Hen...@ar...>]

Hello miguel!

I never hear about "gnucap", NaN and other things in your mail.
It's a graphic tool? Can you run this in standard debian distribution?
Have you a some source lines in C, so anybody can check, what do you means?

You say the errorcode is 136? So thats fine: Search this number in your 
source or in source of the tools lib header files that you use!

And also check this in other distributions such Knoppix.
I think, it's no colinux problem.

Henry

Probably issues with gettimeofday...  try the 0710 snapshot of

[coLinux-users] Re: colinux-0.6.1 issues (MOSTLY RESOLVED)

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

I have fixed the problem after some heavy googling.
It seems the gnome-keyboard-switcher panel applet was causing the 
keyboard mapping problem.
Removing it from the panel and restarting the vnc server fixed the 
problem :)

There is still the problem with xscreensaver timing out VERY quickly.  
Seems colinux is the culprit as it works properly under native linux.
Anyone know how to fix this timer problem ??

Cheers,
Brendan Simon.

Re: [coLinux-users] Me and the kernel, BOTH in panic!!!

I messed up fstab once .  Im a novice almost.   I used knoppix - a debian
live cd distro - then copyed that fstab to a windows partion .  Then edit=
ed
it and then copyed it to the native debian linux  using knoppix .  fstab =
has
to have root permission so cp fstab as root or su in knoppix .  I hope yo=
u
understand this .

If you want to try it out over a 64 bit winOS you can download the 64bit 
beta from Microsoft's website... geeze... shouldn't that be a curse word 
or something... hack...

RE: [coLinux-users] Colinux on Althlon 64 computers

[peter g. <plu...@p1...>]

afacit windows does not yet support running the opteron/athlon64 in 64 bit
mode

this would make supprting 64 bit mode in colinux near impossible

32 bit colinux on 32 bit windows on an athlon64 shouldn't be a problem
though

[Alan B. <Nig...@ne...>]

is that a 3200 athlon 64 though... Yes it will cuz the Athlon 64 
supports 32 bit applications...
as to whether or not it works at 64 bit? no... somebody will have to get 
a copy of the 64 bit code, and recompile a 64 bit kernel... and all the 
apps too...

Yes, I use TAP driver and have a separate network inside colinux and 
local network. So I set some routings and can connect from local network 
to colinux.

How is your ipaddress in linux? Is this rith, that you use the same 
network inside colinux?
Please type "ifconfig eth0" on shell.

Re: [coLinux-users] Me and the kernel, BOTH in panic!!!

[Henry N. <Hen...@ar...>]

Hello again!

To repair your system:
Run colinux with a small file based colinux image and mount your=20
demarged partion, or run fsck from this help system.

http://www.colinux.org/wiki/index.php/LinuxRescueDisks
In Wiki I have also see some more Rescure colinux root images for varius=20
distribututions (google it!).

Re: [coLinux-users] Me and the kernel, BOTH in panic!!!

[Henry N. <Hen...@ar...>]

Hello,

Yes, fsck is also my problem in running SuSE 7.0 and SuSE 9.0. I do edit=20
   the system runlevel scripts. My scripts detect a running coLinux=20
kernel and use an other fstab, based on other Mail in this list.
	http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=3D8865932
	Thanks! Dwight Campbell :-)

And second, I modify my runscripts that they shold not run fsck, if I=20
give command line "fastboot" in XML-Fild.

And last: I say colinux kernel to mount root filesystem as Read Only.

<!-- ext2 SuSE 9.0 Root hda6 -->
<block_device index=3D"6" path=3D"\Device\Harddisk0\Partition5" alias=3D"=
hda6"=20
  enabled=3D"true" />

<bootparams>root=3D/dev/cobd6 ro</bootparams>

SCRIPT, where fsck was call is "boot.localfs" in my SuSE 9.0:
# do nothing, if coLinux running
if uname -r | grep "co-" >/dev/null
then
         echo " FSCK skip (colinux)"
         export fastboot=3Dtrue
         if [ ! -d /etc/co/run -o ! -f /etc/co/run/co.flag ]; then
                 echo " ### SWITCH to colinux"
                 mount -n -o remount,rw /
                 rm /etc/co/run
                 ln -s colinux /etc/co/run
                 mount -n -o remount,ro /
         fi
else
         if [ ! -d /etc/co/run -o ! -f /etc/co/run/real.flag ]; then
                 echo " ### SWITCH to reallinux"
                 mount -n -o remount,rw /
                 rm /etc/co/run
                 ln -s reallinux /etc/co/run
                 mount -n -o remount,ro /
         fi
fi
...
if test ! -f /fastboot -a -z "$fastboot" ; then
... your fsck doing ...
fi

Re: [coLinux-users] Colinux on Althlon 64 computers

[Ken H. <kh...@ea...>]

I have it running on an athlon 3200 with 512mb ram ... I gave colinux 
128mb. It works fine although I have not used anything but the debian 
that came with it. I have not had much time to use it, but what I have 
used worked. ...  some advice, don't try to do anything fancy at the 
start, use what comes with it and try to use defaults until you get it 
working. Get the latest package. and check out the archive of this 
list... it was a tremendous help to me when I started to install it.

[coLinux-users] Colinux visible from another computer?

[John F. <J.P...@as...>]

I have coLinux (Fedora 1) installed on a computer running 
WIndows 2000, using tap.  The computer is 192.168.0.1 and the 
coLinux is 192.168.0.40.

I am running vncserver and can see this on my PC using 
192.168.0.40:1.  Is it possible to access it also from another 
computer on the local network?

Thanks

John
