So, basically you've been running SMP on your dual PPro machine...

My dmesg says:

GNU/Linux)) #6 SMP Mon Feb 14 16:22:26 JAVT 2000

mapped IOAPIC to d000 (0022a000)

I need a simple explanation (ie: layman's terms).
Does this "mapped" thing mean that the multi-processor board is detected?

Scanners in Debian

[Cameron Matheson]

Hey,

My friend is thinking about buying a scanner tomorrow, but I told him to
let me find out if it would be possible to use in Linux.  It's just an
offbrand, 50$ scanner.  Could we get drivers (or use it) in Debian
Slink?

Thanks,

Yes sure, but the problem is that the other machine is currently being
used (I have to shut it down, pull-out the card and install it on my
machine). So, before doing so, I'd like to make sure that it would be
worth the effort.

It may not be fast (all right, it will be slow), but the point is
simple, I'd like to get an experience on running  SMP on Linux :-)

Mine runs 2.2.13, so it support APIC, right?

BTW, how "unstable" is 2.3.45 compared to 2.2.13?

where is lpr (or LPRng) ?

lpr is in packages LPRng or lpr. It's physical location is
/usr/bin/lpr. 

To get printing set up with LPRng (which is what I'm familiar with),
you need to have the following packages installed:

  lprng
  magicfilter
  gs or gs-aladdin (I use gs-aladdin)

if you don't have these installed, use apt to resolve dependencies.

Once they're installed, run (as root) magicfilterconfig --force to
set up a printcap file.

I think the hardest part is getting the device right, but you can
solve that by trying to print a small text file to them until you
get some output:

  cat smallfile.txt > /dev/lp0, etc.

I have an HP printer that has the stairstep effect, but it is solved
with this set up.

Squid on Slink a little sick

[Damon Muller]

Hi folks,

We have a slink system that has been running quite nicely for some time,
which acts as a pretty important server (for us, at least). One of the
functions that it serves is as a proxy server, running squid (the
current slink version, whatever that is).

Yesterday I noticed that it had stopped accepting connections. The proxy
server to which it was chained was still working perfectly, but our
little squid was quite dead. Trying to fetch a URL using squidclient,
for example, just froze (or rather, did nothing). While not responding,
it wasn't logging any connections in any of it's logs.

Having a look via top, it seemed that the parent squid process (is
`parent' the right term - it was the one that the /var/run/squid.pid
defined, anyway) was using 90%+ CPU time. After starting and stoping it,
it climbed to this high CPU usage very rapidly.

The only thing that has changed lately is the proxy we are chaining
through (windoze box - don't ask), but squid worked fine with that proxy
for a while at least, and all the other browsers, etc., can use that
proxy fine by themselves.

Nothing has changed in the squid.conf file during this time.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be really interested in hearing them.
At the moment I have a hacked-up netcat session running out of inetd to
redirect to the other proxy, but that's hardly an acceptable situation
(and really defeats the purpose of a proxy anyway). If conf/log files
would help diagnose this problem, let me know and I'll post them.

cheers,

damon

DHCP clients

[Brad]

This is a question more for curiousity than anything else, but here it
goes...

I see several dhcp clients available: pump, dhcpcd, and dhcp-client.
There's almost certainly more available that aren't debianized. I was
wondering what the differences are between them, which one people
recommend and why.

For my part, i've been using pump, patched to have an option to cut down
on the amount of junk it dumps to syslog (one day it filled my 400M /var
partition... the next i patched it). Haven't had any problems other than
that.

I don't think so.
Here in my place, I use Squid on a Linux dial-up router, used for
connecting to the Internet via 28.8K modem. I have set up NAT on the
router, and the users on the LAN can share the modem (up to 7 users can
browse comfortably). 

IMHO, if you intend to install Squid for your own use, I think it wouldn't
be that useful (taking up resources with not much gain). In addition to
it, if the connection is down, you wouldn't be able to use all the data
already exist in the Squid's cache. I believe that "wwwoffle" would be
much better for personal use. (BTW, I haven't tried this, some of my
friends on a mailing list done it).

Dselect question - mirroring packages on new box

[Anthony Green]

Hello,

Just a quick Dselect question.

I have a box running Deb 2.1 using dselect and apt, which main hd now has
errors everywhere .. so im about to blow away space on another hd and do
a re-install of debian etc. time for a cleanup anyways.

Is there a way to copy the exact package list of what I have installed now
over to the new box ?  .. so that when i run dselect on the new box .. all
the packages that i now have will be selected .. and it will just start
downloading and installing them etc.

Im going to just use loadlin / deb install from dos partition method to
install deb on the new box .. get the base up and running and then setup ppp
and then hopefully just download all the packages from the net.

One thing i just thought about is that apt may not come with the base package
so i may need to install from the .deb package seperately first. Everything
needed for PPP / internet connectivity comes with the base doesnt it?

Im also using ipfwadm / maasq'ing etc .. so think i'll be sticking with 2.0.38
for the initial install .. and move to 2.2 when all my current ipfwadm masq'ing 
commands are worked out in ipchains language =)

Thanks in advance.

dhcp-client has a hook that enables easy site configuration.  For

So each user would have its own ppp-on-script, or better yet: A global

private chatscript.  Let's see if how that works.

Well, right now, I'm using kppp, to establish the PPP connection, and
I'm quite happy with it, because of its nice accounting features.  (I'm
in Germany and I like to know just how much money I'm burning while I'm
online.)  Thus, I still had to put myself into "dip" and "dialout",
because kppp won't start pppd, before it has made the connection, and
therefore it needs access to /dev/ttyS0.

Our experience is that the ONLY real off the shelf systems that will be
recognized as SMP are Intel processors. If you are determined to try out
your systems the simple test is to make a boot floppy with a precompiled
SMP Linux kernel image on it. I will be happy to send you a generic one
via e-mail or set it up for download as you wish. If this kernel
recognizes the dual processors, it will say so during the boot process.
I have precompiled 2.2.13 which we are currently shipping on all of our
systems. Best wishes!

RE: Scanners in Debian

[John Gay]

Scanners are supported under sane for Linux. I've got a AGFA Snapscan 1236S SCSI
scanner and this works fine with sane, xscanimage, the X window interface and
xsane, a separate X interface for sane. This also works directly as a plug-in
for gimp as well. I would recommend going to :

www.mostang.com/sane and check for supported scanners BEFORE buying anything. My
first scanner was an AGFA 1212U USB scanner, which wasn't supported, but now
support is available.

Once you are sure the scanner you are buying is supported, you can use apt-get
to install xsane, this will install the rest of sane as it depends on it. The
configuration _should_ be fine once you use apt-get to install. This worked for
me first time. If it doesn't, check the doc's. There are a few config files you
can change to get everything working.

Let me know if you have any problems, and I can try to talk you through it. I'm
no expert, but I have been doing some work with my scanner and know a few things
to try.

enabling suexec with debian apache ...

hi.

hopefully this isn't a cause of me failing to rtfm, but i can't find the
docs on it.  i want to enable suexec for the debian apache but as far as i
know this is a compile time option.  the debian docs discuss suexec but when
i try and enable it by using the User|Group directives i get this error:

gotham(root)# apachectl configtest
ERROR: User directive in  requires SUEXEC wrapper.

i see that the binary is included with the apache package but i'm unsure hwo
to tell apache to use it.

help?

problems with gnome-card-games and libguile6

[Michael Perry]

Hi all-

I decided to grab the latest deb gnome stuff to play with a bit.  I got the
task stuff installed, got the regular games installed, but when I go to get
the gnome-card-games deb installed, I get something like this:

Unpacking libguile6 (from .../libguile6_1%3a1.3.4-2_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/libguile6_1%3a1.3.4-2_i386.deb (--unpack):

package libguile4
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libguile6_1%3a1.3.4-2_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

If I leave the process as it is, apt-get is broken trying to resolve this
dependency.  I am running this on a heavily modified slink system.  The card
games are not a necessity but they would be nice to have.  I usually end up
manually removing gnome-card-games using dpkg so that apt-get will work
again.

The card games install correctly but it leaves apt always failing trying to
fix dependencies.

Thanks.

No.  Each user would have his own chatscript in /etc/chatscripts and his
own provider file in /etc/ppp/peers, with names like
/etc/chatscripts/viktors-ppp and /etc/ppp/peers/viktors-ppp.  The
administrator would set these up using pppconfig in the normal fashion and
then chown the chatscripts appropriately.  Viktor could then start up ppp
with 'pon viktors-ppp' but when John ran the same command it would fail,
and only Viktor and root would be able to read
/etc/chatscripts/viktors-ppp.

I wrote:

I meant substitute a different command for chat in the 'connect' line in
/etc/ppp/peers/.  Anything that reads standard input and writes
standard output will work.  Expect is often used to get a password from the
user.

It might also be possible to use chat's new environment variable and/or
include capability to get a password from another file.

during the upgrade /etc/ssh/sshd_config had the wrong path in this line:

HostKey /etc/ssh-nonfree/ssh_host_key

actually now that i think about it, i think it was when i reverted back to
ssh-nonfree ... it was still pointing to /etc/ssh instead of
/etc/ssh-nonfree ... so ignore me :)

i thought there was something else little as well going on but whatever it
was because very obvious when i killed ssh (/etc/init.d/ssh stop) and tried
to start it manuall with the -d switch (/usr/sbin/sshd -d).

If you're signed up correctly for debian-user, you should be getting some 100 
emails
a day. Unless, of course, you subscribed to the digest.  In that case you get a
periodic (I have no idea how often) mailing of the postings. My guess is you're 
only
getting the copies and not the posting to the list.

Point your browser at http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/subscribe and try

Mustek 1200 LS scanner working in Debian?

[Bart Szyszka]

Hello,

I've needed to upgrade Win98 to Win2000 Pro yesterday, but a side
effect of that is that my Mustek scanner won't work. Apparently
Mustek has refused to develop drivers for Windows 2000 because
they sell to home users and Windows 2000 is a business OS. My
only hope right now is that I can get this scanner working in Debian
Linux (which Windows2000 has thankfully not ruined), but I'm having
trouble finding good info on scanners and Linux. Isn't there a database
like the one for printers which tries to get nearly all of them listed and
offers info on their current support in Linux (perfect, partial, beta,
paperweight, etc...)? I haven't been able to find any info on my Mustek
12000 LS scanner's support in Linux. I might try the mustek driver
for sane if I can figure out how to setup sane-gimp1.1 (it doesn't have
a manpage).

This last executed with no apparent problem.

What baffles me is that this same package is behaving so differently on two
potato systems. It works fine on the brandy new potato installed from scratch
via ftp just this past week. It's broken on this older install (I think it
goes back to hamm or bo or somebody!) which I have kept in sync with potato
via apt-get, most recently also just last week.

Maybe it's time to look at the libs sshd is linked with, and see what differs
on these two machines.

enlightenment control-panel?

[Robert L. Harris]

I just nuked my RedHat box and installed Debian.  Since I installed debian
I've been re-installing things like Enlightenment.  I can't seem to
find the enlightenment configuration tool though.  I checked
enlightenment.org but no sign of it there.  

What package to I need?

There is no relevant device for eth0. It is not a device, it is an
interface, and you communicate to it via ifconfig (interface config).

Right, but your best bet (IMHO) would probably be to
stay off the list if you aren't very experienced. 
i.e. if you can't figure out how to get onto a
listserv =).  When I first joined I unsubscribed after
a couple weeks because it was too much mail, I
couldn't answer anybody's questions, and couldn't
benefit from the answers they got from others because
I didn't understand enough.  So I asked questions for
about the first six months that I used debian with the
request that replies be "cc[ed] to me, as I'm not on
the list".  Most ppl do this already, but not all. 
Now that I'm more experienced I get more out of the
questions other people ask and answer and can
occasionally even answer a query or two.

You'll have to get the enlightenment and related packages (duh! ;))  I
guess the question is, what version of Debian are you using?  If
you're using 2.1 (slink), I do suggest upgrading to frozen (woody).
2.1 has 0.14 enlightenment, which is very out of date, unless that's
what you're used to.  frozen has the new 0.16, and it has the
configuration tool.  Just right click on the desktop.

Hope this helps.

Go to www.mostang.com/sane

There you will find a link to supported scanners. I know there is a Mustek
back-end, but I don't know if it supports the 1200 LS scanner.

This will give you just about as much info there is for scanners.

Re: enlightenment control-panel?

If you had read, I have installed enlightenment and related packages.
The problem is that if you open the Gnome control panel, and go to
WindowManager, you can select Enlightement, and then a configuration 
editor that was standalone for adding themes, etc.  I just found the
source to the enlightenment-conf package, but no .deb file.

Most SCSI scanners work under Linux, using SANE.

USB and parallel port scanners may work with kernel 2.4 
when it comes out, which means they may also work with
some 2.3.x (development) kernels).

My guess is that there's a text file somewhere, say
/etc/elightenment.conf for instance.  Then there would
probably also be individual $HOME/.enlighenment.conf
files.  Just like with .xsession files and with other
window managers' conf files.  Any control panel is
just a superfluous (though perhaps nice) front end. I
think.  I don't really know for sure, this is just
from past experience w/ other WMs.  So check the docs
and try to find and edit the conf files.  There is
probably a sample/template in /usr/doc or /usr/share/doc.

Use Blackbox.  It works just like that, by default,
which I find incredibly nice.  I haven't played with
GNOME or sawmill, and it's possible there is no way to
do what you want--being "on top" may be inextricably
linked with being in focus, as it is in windows. 
Really don't know.  But Blackbox works the way you
described with the added advantage of being a very low
drain on system resources and looking quite sleek.

Re: Sawmill/Gnome raising windows

[TaoX { Brian Hinson; }]

Actually GNOME isn't a window manager... so you should look toward the
window manager that runs under GNOME typically enlightenment or KDE...
though any window manager that supports GNOME's hints should work with
GNOME. If your windows manager is enlightenment.. then use enlightenments
configuration tool... if you are using the Current version of enlightenment,
just right click on the desktop and you will be provided with a menu of
options inwhich there is a focus preferences... as for other window managers
I wouldn't know how to get the window to raise on click.

Ive now had this happen a few time.

Update local mirror
ran dselect ( using apt ) and update
Eterm shows up as newer version

I go back in and eterm is still listed under new updated, i confirm it
wasnt installed by checking the current version on the system. Its
marked for install not hold so what gives.

I then try another run of the above and it shows 0 packages to
install/update etc weird. ??

I just installed it manually using dpkg -i  , checked version and
yep its newer.

I *have* worked with GNOME and sawmill, and as a
result have an answer to the question he asked.
I have a "Windows" keyboard, and Win+RightButton
over any part of the window raises it as does
Ctrl+Win+UpArrow, and right-clicking on the title 
bar alternately raises and lowers the window.  The
"Win" key is bound to "Meta", so you should be able
to do the same once you find your Meta key.

You can customize these bindings interactively by selecting
Customize from Sawmill's pop-up menu (middle button in the
root window, if you haven't discovered it already) and
looking under Bindings.

Adding second IP problem

[Chuck Peters]

After installing imp with apt from frozen I want to add an IP for the
webmail.axs.org.  I did the usual add a ifconfig and route in
/etc/init.d/network as follows:   

/sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 192.190.237.140
/sbin/route add -host 192.190.237.140 dev eth0:0

Works fine on the command line, but when I reboot the IP 192.190.237.140
is not activated.

Poking around a little I found the following in the messages log.

Why is it working on the command line and not on boot up?

The problem is related to the TrueType font definitions for gs.

Invoking gs with no arguments produces an error message with the bad
gs.Fontmap file.

The problem is line 564 of gs.Fontmap.  There is some garbage data in
the Lucida Sans Typewriter Bold Oblique definition line.  I've corrected
this; gs now runs without errors.

Patch attached.

Re: Dselect question - mirroring packages on new box

[Damon Muller]

Quoth Colin Watson, 
> You'll want to look at 'dpkg --get-selections' on the old box, and 'dpkg
> --set-selections' on the new one.

I know this is a bit of a clueless newbie question (which I'm not
really). I've seen this advice quite a few times, and even tried it once
or twice myself without much luck...

What on earth are you supposed to do after --set-selections?

Is the idea that you can then go into dselect and just hit [i]nstall? My
impression is that you can't use apt with it (which may be wrong), and
there doesn't seem to be any command you can pass to dpkg without going
through dselect (which I try and avoid). 

If someone could fill me in on this, it'd make my backups/resores a hell
of a lot easier.

Sorry again for the newbie question!

cheers,

damon

Ipfwadm -> ipchains conversion syntax help 2.0.x -> 2.2.x

[Anthony Green]

Hello .. 

Im about to go from kernel 2.0.38 to 2.2.x

I have some syntax questions with regards to ipchains .. and have
included below my existing IP setup in init.d/network and some
local settings .. 

If someone could let me know the ipchains syntax .. that'd be great.

Current net config .. with ipfwadm setup .. simple enough setup,
linux box in 10.1.1.1 with win box on 10.1.1.2 .. linux acting
as gateway with static IP, and masq'ing for the win box.

I am after the equiv. ipchains syntax for the above ipfwadm statements.

Also .. I use ipautofw port bouncer to bounce a port for battle.net etc,
im sure some ipchains syntax can do the same?

Is Debian going to run on my machine?

[Rong Shen]

Hi:

  I am thinking of doing away with Windows completely
and using Debian. But Microsoft has suckered me into
buying a bunch of hardware that I am reluctant to
throw away. Specifically, I have 

(1) a printer (HP color deskjet 722C), 
(2) a CD burner (Memorex CDRW-1622 rewritable),
(7) an ATAPI 24x CR-ROM,
(3) a scanner (Microtek scanmaker v310),
(4) an AOpen FM56-ITU modem
(5) an SiS 5597/5598 display adapter (on motherboard)
(6) a CMI 8330 Audio adapter (on motherboard)

  I checked the Linux web site. It does not say it
will or will not support these hardware. I posted a
message on USENet and some suggest I try. But I don't
want the trouble of finding out that it doesn't work.
So I am turning to the official authority now. I just
wonder if you could tell me whether Debian will run on
my stuff.

  Thanks.

Does it include only "SCSI over Printer Port" scanners or proprietary

eth0: unknown interface

[Armin Wegner]

Hi,

At boot potato gives me this message

eth0: unknown interface: No such device

I guess that eth0 is an interface for ethernet cards. I don't have
one. So I don't need this message. What can I do against it? Is there
a package which I can delete?

mouse with gpm and X

[Armin Wegner]

Hi,

I've to kill gpm with 

gpm -k

before starting X or I can not use my ps2 mouse in X.
That's new in potato. Switching back to a console I don't have gpm then.
I'm not pleased with this. 
I would like have gpm and a mouse under X. In slink this was no problem.
What can I do?

Upgrading to potato

[fasanti]

Hi,

I am going to upgrade from Debian slink 2.1 to potato. Can
anybody tell me if I am wrong about the procedure? Actually,
I am working with a spanish non-official Debian distribution
and it includes apt-get, Kde, gnome, etc. I am not sure about
the consequences of upgrading to the official distribution.

1) I need to change /etc/apt/sources.list so that it will only
include the following lines:
deb ftp://ftp.usc.es/pub/mirror/linux/debian potato main contrib
non-free
deb http://ceu.fi.udc.es/debian-non-US potato non-US/main non-US/contrib 
non-US/non-free

2) Now, as root, 
dpkg --get-selections "*"
apt-get update
apt-get install apt debconf
apt-get -f dist-upgrade

Do I need to take any precaution to execute the aforementioned commands?
I think that I do not have to change to single user mode, etc.

3) From now on, if I want to upgrade to the latest release of potato I
will have to do:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Is everything right?
Thanks in advance.

voodoo question

[Robert Waldner]

Hi!

I have an old Voodoo-I (Orchid Righteous 3D) lying around here. Would I gain 
anything (eg better performance) if I installed it in my P166-box, especially 
when using snes9x? Theres something about 3dfx-support in the documentation of 
snes9x, but no word regarding better performance...

I also wonder if X could gain some speed, too, it sure could use a boost on 
this box ;-)

If you know C, the following can help explain it:
You cannot open(2) /dev/eth0 and then write(2) to
it to communicate; instead you have to get a 
socket, then send(2) a message to the socket. If
eth0 were a file in /dev, it would be very tempting to
open it as a file, which wouldn't work.

Re: eth0: unknown interface

[Ron Rademaker]

That has nothing to do with it and won't work (by the way, there are a lot
more network cards then just ne compatible ones).
What you should do is edit your /etc/init.d/network, you should make it
look like something like this:

#! /bin/sh
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0

If you want to you could let your system think it's on a LAN by adding the
following lines:

IPADDR=10.10.10.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST=10.10.10.255
GATEWAY=
ifconfig lo ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
route add -net ${NETWORK}
[ "${GATEWAY}" ] && route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1

I never actually tried that, but I guess it should work (take notice of
the lo after ifconfig, in your /etc/init.d/network it will probably be
eth0 (ip adresses can of course also be altered (that is: 10.10.10.10 and
with it 10.10.10.255).

ppp possible VJ compression problem

[Richard Vanek \(ETM]

Hello,


I would like to ask you for a help with ppp connection. I was
searching for past five days debian-user mailing list. I have found a
lot of different solutions for different problems but I think I didn't
found situation which happens on my computer.

I setup Debian 2.1 from CD, I made a minimal installation with ppp and
pppconfig. I setup my modem at /dev/ttyS2 IRQ 5. this works correctly,
which I tested by minicom.

I run pppconfig and answers all the questions. I have two DNS, I also
have dynamic IP address. I used the same ISP from Win95 with no
problem.

Here is a piece of the ppp.log and you can see that after
autentification which path correctly the IPCP is repeatly trying to
get IP address from server. I don't know what is wrong here and how it
should be corrected. If you can help me any way please write my a mail.

Recently I was speaking with a friend and he told me that possible VJ 
compression is not supported by the server. Could that be a problem?

Thank you in advance

  Secondly,  how would I go about customize my afterstep desktop.
  For instance, I'd like to add a few more button on the desktop
  to start some other program and a few more menu to run more

  Again, thank you very much!

Re: mouse with gpm and X

  What was the options that were supplied to the gpm by check
  the file in /etc/gpm.conf (in potato).

  If you see the  line "repeat+type=".  Comment this out
  by placing an '#' (without the quote).  and stop and restart
  the gpm by:

  /etc/init.d/gpm stop

  and 

  /etc/init.d/gpm start

  then try to run your X again to see if it would resolve
  the problem.

Ok, I think your right, because it could be possible that some daemons
need a network card to work properly. All of our computers which are
running Linux have a card, because they are connected in a network. I
have never tried to setup a computer with Linux but without NIC.

Do you install sane-gimp1.1? Because if I install gimp1.1, then sane
gets removed and if I install sane then gimp1.1 gets removed. Is there
a configuration utility that comes with their one of them? An X-based 
one?

Re: eth0: unknown interface

[Ron Rademaker]

Well, what you said about the modules.conf would only prevent the computer
from loading the module for the network card when booting. By loading in
this module the interface (eth0, or if there are more network cards eth1,
eth2 etc.) is known, later during boot the init.d scripts are being called
(when switching to runlevel 2, as specified in /etc/rc.2) and the
/etc/init.d/network script is also called, that script configures the
network and uses the interface eth0 to do so. That's where the error
occurs, the script tries to bring eth0 up (using ifconfig) where the
interface does not exist.

Recommended networked filesystem structure?

[Nils Ackermann]

Hello,

We have four SparcStation4 and an Ultra1.  Up to now we had Solaris
running, the whole System installed on every machine.  I added a
/usr/local hierarchy on the Ultra server with all the good stuff from
GNU, and mounted it as a nfs filesystem under /usr/local on each one
of the clients.

Now I want to switch the whole configuration to debian (that I've been
running at home on a PC for two years).

1. What would be the preferred way to have this kind of distributed
   setup with standalone, but thin clients?  Is there a standard way
   to use the debian packaging system to divide installation up into a
   base system with X that is installed on every machine, and
   applications that reside on the server only, to be mounted via nfs?

2. How difficult is it, to do this in a heterogeneous network?  We
   might be adding PCs soon, and I would like to have a real uniform
   network, all running debian, with only one application/file server.

Thanks,
Nils Ackermann

So I think there are only two ways to stop an unnecessary network card
form starting up at bootup.

1) Start the installation program from CD and remove the unwanted modul

2) Deactivate any unwanted startup job in "/etc/init.d/" and you can
later activate it if you want. There are several files in know which
must be stoped from starting network jobs.

/etc/init.d/netstd_init
/etc/init.d/netstd_misc
/etc/init.d/network

Am I right?

Removing the module won't work, because bye removing the module the
interface eth0 still won't exist (you could say it exists even less) and
the error will still occur. Renaming the scripts will work, along with
editing /etc/init.d/network and another possible solution is reconfiguring
the network (the way you did installing debian).

Nm, have you considered adding 1900 to the returned value? 8^)=

And maybe try reading the documentation for the date commands in the
perlfunc manpage.

Exactly what version of perl?

Post some code that illustrates the problem you are seeing.

And read the perlfunc man page section on gmtime, especially the last
sentence.

Please note that Aladdin does not distribute any Fontmap that references the
Lucida fonts.  The only Ghostscript distributions for which we take any

It is the way it is supposed to be. With suEXEC enabled, cgi-s run
setuid-ed, which is always a risky thing, so it should be done on the
administrator's explicit statement, hence the need for enabling suEXEC
manually.
