Fatal server error: no screens found Action: dneighbo has never had good luck with X on debian (i generally end up mucking with XF86Config-4 directly i think this might be you have your monitor configured poorly what monitor do you have EV700 who makes it gateway the dark lord himself is away at the moment and i would never hassle him with X issues :) do you ahve the manual for it? heh where you could find its vertical and horiz refresh rates? im not finding squat on the net about it it's not the refresh read-edid the driver isn't even even loading should work i'm sure it's an X driver thing, not monitor yup exactly when i have had similar issues its been refresh rate if you want to sell your soul you could try the prop. drivers, or the experimental xfree86 4.2 packages even though i THOUGHT it was driver you had this machine working with redhat no? if so you didnt happen to save the x file from it? yup psu (psu@manorcon.demon.co.uk) joined #gnuenterprise. mope hey psu hiya err... nope didn't need it Action: ajmitch is one of these fortunate ppl who don't get X issues because in redhat, everything is automatic detects your monitor and vidcard for you um as it is in debian ;) every distro needs an X file yes, but I never needed to know the values or keep the X file I know I had one, but I never had a need to back it up or keep it for reference even on redhat its a GOOD idea to back up such files heeh just re-run Xconfigurator i have had Xconfigurator do evil things after an upgrade on redhat just seems kinda weird that debian doesn't have an automagic X configuration tool steal redhat's! well... how do I get 4.2 installed (that's another thing that seemed weird to me... 4.2 has been out for a while) nvidia-glx-src - NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x driver nvidia-kernel-src - NVIDIA binary kernel module s/steal/share code within the spirt of the GPL um as much as i HATE the way debian does some things REMEMBER Debian is the X bad mutha humper i.e. it is the thing that makes sure that X runs on like 10 or more platforms guys like red hurt and manlove only care about x86 so they dont have to play by nearly as many rule :) believe me i have a half supported trident cyberblade and i have done MORE than my share of bitching about X on debian ajmitch: do you know anything about nvidia-kernel-src or nvidia-glx-src hell no Action: ajmitch doesn't touch that stuff would you have to compile a custom kernel? or will that give you what you need/ shouldn't have to compile a custom kernel woody is released for 11 archs, xfree86 is supported by upstream on 4 or 5 of those it's a module apparantly xfree86 don't test their releases too well the big problem you have here stbain is debian dont like nvidia cause it aint free and the debian packages are patched a lot i would try to apt-get install one of these nvidia-glx-src - NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x driver nvidia-kernel-src - NVIDIA binary kernel module aegagrus:/home/dneighbo# probably the first one then see if you can find it in modconf and load it then try X although it says that 4.1 has built in Geforce support dunno bout geforce 4 tho how do I tell what files a .deb provides once it's installed? dpkg -L package because I don't see crap in the /usr/src directories that those packages installed hey what computer is this? is it a gateway? if so give me the model yes dunno the model and i bet we can find you a XF86Config-4 from someone who does back up theirs and post to the net :) http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/xsf/ heh... GeForce4 is an upgrade didn't ship w/ the PC i see :) i got so many cyberblade questions cause i talked about here and the logs get googled i finally posted mine hmm, uploaded 17% of this cd :) http://gnue.org/~dneighbo/homedir/XF86Config-4 only about 12 hours to go for this image, and then i have 3 more to upload ;) if you are brave enough to try 4.2 let me know how it goes as i need to try it on my box ok http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2002/debian-project-200204/msg00042.html apt-get install nvidia-glx-src Action: ajmitch pasted a 4.2 mirror link just before i think that might make you compile a kernel though nope I've done that on redhat it's a module ok apt get it then as root do modconf go into kernel/drivers/video/? ok probably it will add nvidia if not look in just kernel/drivers/video/ see if you can find a geforce or nividia and activate it don't see it in there try a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and see if in drivers you get any new choices nope don't see it in there either i really think you have to compile things yah it puts the files in the /usr/src dir question is what do I do from there I don't exactly see a configure file i dont build kernel mods or kernels i figure if it dont come packaged i shouldnt be using it aj or chilly could help perhaps they compile kernels daily if its supported in X 4.2 w/o kernel stuff i would do that other option is running framebuffer nvidia Action: dneighbo shudders i had NO luck getting framebuffer to work with trident daily?

I was a little worried for a while. well "what do people except from free help" - ee... help? :) lol, see art you know english better than me :) I dont really think about this sort of thing when it comes to free software (or the internet in general really). ooooo I just think of it as something that just happens, not having any servers of my own. i just checked the whois database that site you're seeing was setup last October and I don't think it's changed since then :) honestly , upon reflection i wouldn't want to do GNUe full time as that puts deadline pressures on me that would take the fun out of it You've got to have a hobby :-) yeah, and nothing beats writting buggy software for businesses they give you money for this :) is there any other kind of software? :-) reinhard (~rm@M694P005.adsl.highway.telekom.at) joined #gnuenterprise. they'll give me money!?!?!?!?!? who?!

in what context? ## This should have been submitted as a patch for peer review. um we well hang on.... phone call peer review == let others look over changes first prior to inclusion in the main code base where was this at? yes, what jamest said /common/src/dbdrivers/_pgsql/DBdriver.py ## # To convert date from format '2002-12-31 23:59:59,99' ## # into '2002-12-31 23:59:59' format. well for starters, you are doing that conversion to all values not just date values and secondly, it's in the wrong place that's what _toSqlString is for no, i understood all that, the question would be how do i do that per review? how do i do that peer review? i thought that something like that is going here (on #gnuenterprise) do i have email change proposition or something else? as a general rule, anything outside of your normal realm should be sent as a patch to info@gnue.org this changed the functionality of the db drivers (actually, broke them to be more specific) what is 'our normal realm'? how is patch created? cvs diff brb how do i know what changes i can simply commit and what to send as a patch? on the db drivers I almost always ask jcater personally before I change them as some of that code hurts my brain and I got sick of breaking the drivers :) so as far as i understand, jcater is responsible for dbdrivers? er, i wouldn't quite word it like that he rewrote the driver system so he understands the interactions best it's because of bad my English knowledge :/ so I get ahold of him before I change something or before I commit it the last time I didn't do this I broke something that I didn't notice for 1 month then in talking to him he politely pointed me to the correct solution i see when I know he'd rather have beat me over the head with a 286 case thank goodness I'm like 8 hours away yeah, but I DO know where you live but honestly I've found that in the db driver section just asking him up front will save you a ton of time as I didn't know about _toSqlString until I talked to him and it saved a ton of code digging now if it's my code you are working on, good luck as even I don't know whats going on in there :) thanks :) Action: jamest mashes buttons until the computer gives up and just does what I wanted so I'll leave it alone instead of that new extreme programming fad that is fad that is becomming popular i use abusive programming what is 'abusive programming'?

At least this is what I've gathered. NO it doesnt FUD spreader ;) btw: yes it was Hehe i worked with Daniel Dittmar there and within a week of asking the released under the LGPL and provided us with sources sweet Action: dneighbo notes this is ONE of many reasons Im impressed with them now if that bailey character would get on the packages.. they stated they were sorry didnt release earlier but they wanted to do some clean up before they shoved down to others i will admit SAP-DB is like oracle (ie. it aint a point and click setup) it needs loving from a good DBA i.e. its not a 'street' car its a formula one vehicle if you want to race its suitable, but plan on some effort okay so I should stick with Postgres? if you want to do reasonable work but lower administration and still have freedom i would say use postgres hello if you want easy admin, lots of penetration, high speed but a slew of other problems use mysql postgres' baffling authentication stuff pisses me off all the time i am hoping to debunkify sap db some if we had deb packages and good support in designer for schema creation and such ja. i think i would definitley say SAP-DB is better choice than postgres for about any situation You tend to be very opinionated tohugh heh pretty much i say the same about debian if you want the best use debian, but surely its not for everyone and python it takes a little work to get used to some of its oddities, but certainly once you make it over the learning curve its WELL worth it no, I'm pretty sure python is for everyone. i think SAP-DB will fall in that category it has a little higher hump than mysql or postgres and you wont find as many folks to aid you bouncing over that hump but you will be well rewarded if you do so well, I'm not at all opinionated and for once actually agree w/derek 100% jcater: sure with his analysis some of the stuff im trying to tackle is getting word out that SAP-DB is GPL (many folks think there is some catch) and working with others get community sites up that help a 'newbie' transition i think you will see SAP-DB become more common in Free Software circles as the community begins to embrace it and help grow its penetration i can right now, there is about 4 to 5 times the traffic on SAP-DB list than there is on all postgres lists combined and most of them are answered by SAP employees contrary to FUD they didnt drop SAP-DB on the communities lap, they claim to have about 100 folks still working on it (i know for certain at least 4 are active in the list) and there is a new version coming out very soon 7.3 was just recently released but enough about SAP-DB :) Well you've given me touchy-feely reasons that it would be a good choice, but no hard feature reasons ok, here is one reason if you go to their site you can get a list of all the limits and features in a matrix i cant say the same for postgres or mysql (or at least i cant find it) one of my goals is to line them all up side by side i will tell you the number 1 reason 1. I know several hundred to thousands of folks use SAP-DB for SAP R/3 in production. The best mysql example I am pointed to is um SLASHDOT. 2. There are about 100 paid employees pounding on SAP-DB. I dont think postgres or mysql now even have 'real' paid employees now, with mysqlAB and greatbridge having so many issues. btw: this is from 'corporate' prospective not my personal use i.e. SAP-DB i think will be MUCH easier for me to bring into enterprises than mysql I'm more interested in the techinical perspective than the social perspective ok main features Referential integrity (to be defined in CREATE TABLE or ALTER Table statement) Referential CONSTRAINT definition Stored procedures Database procedures and CREATE DBPROC statement After statement trigger (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) CREATE TRIGGER statement Updateable views, although not every view is updateable Updateable view table Datatype BOOLEAN Data type A number of functions including functions for date values Function (function spec) Maximum length of object names is 32 characters Names (and links indicated there) Subtransactions Subtransaction (and links indicated there) Sequences (number generator) JOIN predicate Scrollable cursor FETCH statement Temporary tables that will be destroyed if the application ends the session.
