There's a good HOWTO on the subject of IP Masquerading/NAT at
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/howto/mini/IP-Masquerade. You
might also check the Firewall-HOWTO available from the same place.

That would be me :) Although the groups are available, most people
aren't using them. We're currently restricting access to registered
developers (same as these lists) by requiring a login/pass to access the
server due to some privacy and spam concerns. If the developer community
has no objection to exporting the netwinder.* newsgroups to the world at
large, I'd be happy to take you up on that offer. Ideally I think they
belong somewhere in the comp.* hierarchy...

Hi,

I'm new to the list and just received a Netwinder DM with build 12.  I
read the Linux journal article and thought the Netwinder would do great
for a kiosk project I'm working on.  Unfortunately, the DM I received
didn't have Netscape Communicator as the author in the article stated he
got out-of-the-box (same for KDE).  I've checked the netwinder.org web
site and done some searches but the only one netscape rpm I found, I
couldn't get to work.  Any ideas?  Sorry if this is a old question, I
tried all the faqs I could find before asking.  

Thanks.

The best I have been able to do is QtScape.  It is located in

Alternatively one could also use lynx or install KDE from the same
directory.  It contains a web browser that is built into the file manager.

Subject: Netscape

Hey there,

Here are Carleton U we've had a NW as a kiosk.  Works well with a touch screen.

YOu want mozilla not really netscape.  I think ralph has an RPM for it.  If not an RPM it's a tar-ball with all the libs included and pre compiled.  Mozilla is a slow browser to use... but it's pretty close.  Some of the HTML interpetation I felt was a bit screwey.  But a bit of playing and your pages will still work.

Let me know if you find it.  I think I may have it here on one of our NW's (It make take me a while.. we have a few and I forget where I kept the file).

Netscape Communicator is not available.  The port was completed, but
Netscape haven't released it.

The reviewer likely managed to get his hands on the first beta version
Netscape sent us (I have one here dated November 18, 1998).  It isn't
licensed for distribution, so we use it internally and for demos.

Actually no.. i've never managed to get it to build... gave it a try a while
back... got lost in all the libraries and modules...

I tried the x86 version, it was pretty horrible (or maybe I just picked a
bad build.. dunno)... I think mozilla is still a ways from prime time.  I'm
hoping we'll get a real version from Netscape someday soon (yes there are
people working on it).

I've added an entry to the FAQ regarding browsers.  Since this does seem to
come up fairly often :)

Subject: __sigprocmask

I am trying to execute the Netwinder jre a root file-system built from the
TITAN
distribution and a 2.2.5 kernel.  However, the jre generates following
error:

jre: error in loading shared libraries
libjava.so:  undefined symbol __sigprocmask

The glibc I have installed is from glibc-2.1.1-3.titan.990419.armv4l.rpm.
If I dump the
symbols in /lib/libc-2.1.1.1.so, it shows __sigprocmask as a local symbol.
Why isn't
this being exported as a global symbol?

Thanks,
Eric

Thanks everyone! I'll stick with Lynx for now and perhaps set my sights

Well, good news and bad news.  KDE is available somewhere on
netwinder.org, and apparently runs well.  Netscape does not appear to be
available, so graphical browser choices are limited.

	-Netscape from another machine via X windows
	-Chimera
	-Hot Java (if you can find the Corel JRE for the 'Winder)

I recall seeing comments from someone on the list regarding Mozilla builds
on a 'Winder as not quite functional.  Given the rate of change of the
Mozilla code base, that story may now be different.

Good Luck

I can't help imagining that this must have some vague connection to all the
svgalib hacking I had to do yesterday to try to get 1.2.10 back on my machine
after following the suggestion to load 1.3.xxx a while ago. It sort-of worked
and now the vidcap_test program sort-of works, which is a sort-of improvement.

KDE is still running apparently fine on vt7.

Maybe the info above will be useful to somebody...

Could you look up this PC address in your System.map (if it's up-to-date) or
otherwise use objdump or nm on the kernel file and figure out where the
crash happened?  

> process run-parts (pid: 5396, stackpage = c3882000)

This is part of the cron package - running an automated script at
predetermined times.  Very unlikely to be related to SVGAlib, unless the new
version installed a cron job of its own (take a look in /etc/cron.*/ to be
sure)

Hey folks - I'm the one who did the first communicator port a while back. I
had forgotten about that until I saw this thread.
Anyhow, I got stuck with character set conversion problems and then I moved
onto another group before that could be completed. (basically it got dropped
on the floor with all the chaos over here)

I'll see if I can't get someone to complete the port. Has anyone else had any
charset conversion problems that you've solved on the netwinder and could
suggest possible things to look at? I know nothing about i18n stuff, so I'm
kind of looking for a "Oh, you're probably seeing the [glibc, font, locale,
etc] problem where.... the proper thing to do is..."

Also, I was working on DiskImage 10 - have any charset problems been fixed in
recent disk images?

In the meantime I'll see if I can get the version we have right now pushed
out to ftp.netscape.com. The only broken things that I know of right now are
What's Related and IMAP, which I'm sure many of you can live without.

Subject: Installing a new image.

In a conversation last night at the OCLUG Linux meeting, installing a new
disk image came up.

What I did to upgrade from a pre-10 image to a DM12 image was to untar the
image onto the other partition /dev/hda3 and then change the BIOS (nettwerk)
setting to point to the correct hard drive.

After I did this my hard drives were still mounted incorrectly and so I
edited the /etc/fstab to mount /dev/hda3 onto root (/) and /dev/hda1 onto
/mnt.

Can anyone see problems with the way I have done this?  It seems to work
well enough.  I am also wondering if I erase /dev/hda1 (the old image) that
things may not work.

Hope this helps,

]{evin.

Everything sounds correct (except it's called NeTTrom :)

Be sure that your kernel is also loading from /dev/hda3 if you want to nuke
/dev/hda1... otherwise you might have some trouble.  The appropriate
commands would be

	setenv kernconfig fs
	setenv kerndev /dev/hda3
	setenv kernfile /boot/vmlinux
	save-all

Other than this, there is no reason you can't nuke /dev/hda1... (of course,
take out the entry in etc/fstab for it if you do this...)

Umm...that's ancient.  We're up to 12 (shipping) and 14 is about to be
released, which is completely incompatible (different libs).  Perhaps
we can arrange an upgrade of the machine?

What version of gcc or egcs did you use for the port?  I was under
the impression that egcs was required, but I could never get
GTK to work properly with egcs (GTK tickled some little ARM-egcs
bugs here and there).  Or was this the Motif/LessTif version
you ported?

I'll see what I can do. We were shipped the machine with DM9, and I think I
upgraded it to 10. I'll see what I can do to get it up to DM12 or 14. When is 14
coming out? Maybe I should wait if it's going to be completely incompatible? As I
recall the upgrade process was kind of a pain in the neck (not hard, just a pain)
so I'd like to avoid too much unnecessary work..

gcc 2.7.2.?? I think. I ported 4.5, which is the motif version.
Even 5.0 does not require egcs (anymore - there was about a month period when the
gcc build was broken)

You tried to outsmart the computer, but weren't as clever as you thought. :-)

The `arm-linuxelf' target name has been deprecated for some time.  Use 
`arm-linux' instead, if you need to give a target name at all.

(There is no need to give --host if EGCS can guess it, and there's no need to 
give --target if it will be the same as the host system.  So, on most systems, 
it suffices to say `./configure' with no parameters.)

It was probably the Corel modified 2.8.1 which shipped with the NetWinder;
it was pretty buggy back then IIRC. It's better now, but I'd reccommend
using egcs instead anyway though. Also, you should probably consider
either linking it statically (or do you do that anyway?) or using one of
the distributions which uses a versioned Glibc, as that is what RedHat 6.0
will use. Then again, if Corel^HHCC^HRebel.com's own "build 14" 
distribution is going to be totally incompatible with previous versions,
that might mean that they have switched over to a versioned Glibc
themselves...

I understand that, however:

./configure
Configuring for a arm-unknown-linux-gnu host.
Created "Makefile" in /usr/src/egcs-1.1.2 using "mt-frag"
Configuration arm-unknown-linux-gnu not supported
Configure in /usr/src/egcs-1.1.2/gcc failed, exiting.

In other words, I tried it with no parameters first; it failed. Thus, I
tried it again with parameters:

# ./configure --host=arm-linux
Created "Makefile" in /usr/src/egcs-1.1.2 using "mt-frag"
Configuration arm-unknown-linux-gnu not supported
Configure in /usr/src/egcs-1.1.2/gcc failed, exiting.

 ./configure --target=arm-linux --host=arm-linux
Created "Makefile" in /usr/src/egcs-1.1.2 using "mt-frag"
Configuration arm-unknown-linux-gnu not supported
Configure in /usr/src/egcs-1.1.2/gcc failed, exiting.

So, I'm perplexed.

Hmph.  Did the patches apply properly?  If so, I guess I must have screwed 
something up along the line.  You could try copying config.sub from something 
like the latest glibc, if you happen to have that handy.

I didn't find patches for 1.1.2?

The difference is glibc 2.0 vs 2.1.  We're not yet doing versioning,
though Scott is working on it when I'm not making his life miserable
demanding he fix bugs.  Oh well, he usually gets the last laugh [when
I have to rebuild everything].

We're working on making it less of a pain.  Build 14 is completely
RPM based from the ground up (at least 1090 packages).  Makes upgrading
easier...but when we finally move to versioned libs I think another
complete drive image will have to be installed :(

I'll do whatever I can to make porting Communicator easier for you :D
I'll bug some managers in the morning and get back to you with ideas.
