try running it directly, instead of from inet.d because I'm guessing
this is an inet.d configuration problem. I don't use inet.d, so
someone else will have to help here.

Well, I've called "$ sudo /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart", but
tftpd doesn't seem work.



I tried a tftp client, but could not get files. Also I tried "netstat
-a | grep tftp", nothing shown up??




Thank you.

dpkg --get-selections will list installed packages.



/var/log/dpkg and /var/log/apt/term.log and /var/log/aptitude have some
install-related stuff, but you would need to do some work to get the
date packages where installed. I don't know of any other way.

Confused? Frustrated?X

I just got a Gateway 935 1u server with 3 SCSI drives off Ebay, and
setup a RAID1 array on it.  I followed: 
http://www200.pair.com/mecham/raid/raid1.html .  There were some
tiny little differences but it worked really well.

you could always try finding the RPM for it and using
alien or apt-rpm to install

OK.  I Manually downloaded the gspca-source module and did 'm-a update' 
and when I went through the steps it seemed to build OK, but did not 
load.  Silly me!  Once I unplugged the camera and re-plugged it in, the 
driver loaded just like it ought to.  At least is seems to have done 
so.  Running lsmod shows the gspca module and a few other new modules.  
Dmesg shows:

usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3
usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
Linux video capture interface: v2.00
/usr/src/modules/gspca/gspca_core.c: USB SPCA5XX camera found. (SPCA501 )
/usr/src/modules/gspca/gspca_core.c: [spca5xx_probe:3887] Camera type YUYV
/usr/src/modules/gspca/gspca_core.c: [spca5xx_getcapability:1165] maxw 
640 maxh 480 minw 160 minh 120
usbcore: registered new interface driver gspca
/usr/src/modules/gspca/gspca_core.c: gspca driver 01.00.04 registered

So my drivers seem to be loaded.  Now, how do I access the camera, so 
that I can capture an image to be processed?  I am currently thinking of 
using opencv through either C/C++ or Python.  How would I access the 
camera to generate an image (probably jpeg) that I could then save to 
disk or, preferably, pipe to opencv?

If you do that, you hit "u" for "undo"...

As someone else pointed out, vim and others show what mode you're in  
at the bottom of the screen.  Perhaps you were using nvi or some older  
version that doesn't have a visual indication of mode?

I have an older friend who's been doing Unix since, well... the  
beginning, and we were talking about this once, and he pointed out  
that he and his buddies figured out the in all of the possible modes/ 
windows, three ESC's would always get you back to command mode from  
"anywhere" in vi.

I've never really analyzed that statement, but it did start me a new  
habit... I usually hit it more than once while/if I'm thinking about  
what to do next and know I need to go to command mode before doing it.

Aha! Thanks a lot!

Might see if I can contact them and extract some protocol specs or code
for disabling it, hopefully there will be a way to disable it from Linux
in the future.

Should have been opt-in from the start, I'll be sure not to buy Toshiba

They are two separate devices, the cdrom one is not writable, and k3b
can't burn stuff to it either. Hopefully the U3 uninstaller will work.

Thanks Andrew, you are indeed so helpful.

Fow anyone who knows debian, please help me the following:

In FC6, the tftp script is in xinetd.d, I can call xinetd restart to
include tftp service.

In Debian, I could not find a tftp script in init.d. In fact, I could
not find a tftp script under /etc. How can I get the tftp service?

Thank you.

Jim

Its own versions are installed in its own directory, they don't replace the 
etch system versions.
Besides, looking over google, I have read a statement which says that salome 
works well both in sarge and etch without installing anything (I imagine it 
refers to the sarge binary, since to build salome you would need to install 
both etch and non-etch dependencies, such as netgen).
