What happened to e-conf?
Hi all, I just installed E on a new computer and found out that e-conf is not in the unstable dist anymore. I used to change my key bindings using this tool. Is there now an alternative way to change my key bindings? I checked all the E settings menus and I couldn't find a way. Thx in advance, Cyrus
possible to extract .cab files under linux?
Hello.. Rather silly question but here goes: I don't have access to Windows or DOS and I need to extract the contents of some .cab files. I was wondering if there is any tool I can use to do this, since this is a Microsoft free Debian machine. All I want to do is extract some truetype fonts from various .cabs I have on old cd-roms (I need them for something in particular). I did consider the possibility of using dosemu or wine with some kind of command-line program made for DOS (something like winzip or cabview I guess it'd be) but since Windows/DOS is not installed on this machine I really have no way of doing this (that I can think of). Any help would be greatly appreciated.. either a recommendation for a program which runs under Linux to extract such files, or any other logical method I might use to accomplish this task.

Re: What happened to e-conf?
You have to copy /usr/share/enlightenment/config/keybindings.cfg (if you're using a debian system, which I'm assuming) to ~/.enlightenment and edit it by hand. Sorry, I guess they haven't had time to work on e-conf for 0.16.

Hi, Hans,
I do not know the exact relation. The following is quota from the bug

The last line of /etc/init.d/setserial:

examines all serial devices, even those that will be controlled by

causes them to fail when pcmcia-cs takes over. Without this line,
the modem works.

You can browse the debian web for the details.
I am currently using potato (frozen) and got these upgraded package

I hope these packages can solve your modem problem, too.

How to install Zope products in Debian
Hello, I'm trying to install some Zope products, particularly Squishdot, following the install instructions of untaring the tar file in zope's root directory (/var/lib/zope) and then restarting zope (zopectl restart). However, the products never show up in zope (not even under "product management"). Is there something Debian-specific about installing zope products that I am missing? I managed to install ZPhotoAlbum only because it comes with a .zexp file that allows me to import it directly into zope. But there's no equivalent import file on Squishdot. I'd appreciate any suggestion. Thank you, -- Pedro PS. I'm running Potato.
glibc 2.1.3 + kernel 2.3.47
debians, I've installed kernel 2.3.47 on my frozen potato box in order to take advantage of large files (>2GB). I can run a test in the box, and it sucessfully creates a 16GB file. ls sees it as a 64MB file, however. When I asked Matti (author of the large file portion), he referred me to the large file summit, item 3.3: http://ftp.sas.com/standards/large.file/x_open.20Mar96.html#3.3 What additional work, if any, do I need to do to get large files working on my box? Thanks very much, ethan fremen ps. I only really need this functionality for zope's database file.

It would be nice if apt-move were working like Squid, become a daemon that's waiting on the background and serving every package request from any clients; storing the downloaded packages on the local disk and building the local Apt database automatically. In other words, there's still a problem (ie: making Apt to be not that cool) when the package you request is not yet available on your local package server. The above setup would make sites with slow connection happy. Those with faster connections, IMHO, would like to have someting like "apt-mbone" daemon; for getting the package upgrade via multicast.

Configuration management
Hi all, Up to now, I've been managing my system's configuration in a rather ad hoc kind of fashion: configuration during installation, fine-tuning it with with the set-up/configuration utilities that come with a package (or as a separate package) and roughly document what I did in a normal ChangeLog file. However, I'm not really happy with this way of doing things. I'd like to hear about some other ways. I've toyed with the idea of using CVS, archiving /etc and making a local package.

Gateway
Hi folks ! I'd like to setup my home network (I installed the cards, softwares, set up ipchains etc.) But I have a final question. If my look out to the world is ppp0, what should I wrote to the /ezc/init.d/network ? The interfaco to the LAN is eth0 and that's clear that I don't have to add the default gateway address to this card, only the broadcast and IP address of this card. But, again, what to write to the ppp0, if this is my inerface to the outside and I get my IP dynamically ? Could anyone post me a working /etc/init.d/network script to the situation like this ?

IMP Configuration
I have installed IMP 2.2.0 and am very pleased with it. It took a bit of figuring out the installation of imap, but that seems to be working too. One issue is still open. I would like the users mail data in ~/mail (which is Debian standard, it seems). I cannot seem to get IMP to handle that. I have tried all kinds of tricks in the setup.php3 file, but it does not give me access to mail folders in my ~/mail directory. I would be very pleased if someone could send me their setup.php3 file as an example. Also, I am having slight trouble with understanding the workings of imap. Very little documentation comes with the package. Can someone give me a pointer for some background reading?

With cgiwrap, you don't directly specify the cgi, you pass it as a parameter to the cgiwrap cgi ex: if you want to run ~user1/cgi-bin/a, the correct url is http://server.domain/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/user1/a.cgi cgiwrap will take care of making sure a.cgi belongs to the user, isn't setuid, etc, etc and then run a.cgi as user1 > And another thing I have been running circles around is: > > - how can I protect data files from being read from the filesystem, > which should be readable from the web, but only after authentication? > Since they should be http-served, they should be world-readable...

Re: nmbd refuses connection
What machine is 192.1.1.25? Is that the machine gateway? If so then is nmbd actually running? It might be configured to run from inetd.conf if it is then check out /etc/hosts.allow and make sure that it's setup to allow connections. I'm guessing nmbd probably isn't running for whatever reason and isn't set up to run from inetd.conf. It could be possible you've got a bad smb.conf file.

On redhat 6.0, I think someone found out that installing the 100dpi fonts _and_ the 75dpi fonts is necessary to make netscape java work.

Hello all, Sorry for crossposting, but I think this may be important enough to warrant that action. I have received the following letter from IBM. This states that in two weeks the license for IBM JDK will change so that it will not contain any restrictions for the usage of it on any Linux system (the ridiculous clauses concerning RH6 and Caldera2.2 will go away at the very least). I don't know anything about what the exact license will be, whether it will allow packaging IBM JDK in non-free, or only the installer, but anyway, there will be no legal problem concerning the usage of the ibm-jdk11-installer. I don't expect IBM JDK to go open-source by the way, so I don't think that it will go into main.

dont know what else to suggest other then wiping the whole drive out, rebooting, adding a swap partition, rebooting again, format the partition and try to mount it. ive gotten that error and the above has always fixed it(if you've tried it try again- delete ALL the partitions on the drive). to be safe make sure the swap partition is less then 128MB (you mentioned 24MB for your setup? - newer kernels can support larger swap partitions but just incase..keep it to 128MB or less) make sure its the right type(82 "linux swap"). here is a couple of examples of 2 machines i got running: Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1108 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System /dev/hda1 115120456 82 Linux swap /dev/hda2 *16 197 1461915 83 Linux /dev/hda3 198 1108 7317607+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 198 379 1461883+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 380 561 1461883+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 562 743 1461883+ 83 Linux /dev/hda8 744 925 1461883+ 83 Linux /dev/hda9 926 1108 1469916 83 Linux and for a scsi setup: Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 554 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 *1 108 867478+ 83 Linux native /dev/sda2 109 554 35824955 Extended /dev/sda5 109 261 1228941 83 Linux native /dev/sda6 262 452 1534176 83 Linux native /dev/sda7 453 518 530113+ 83 Linux native /dev/sda8 519 537 152586 83 Linux native /dev/sda9 538 554 136521 82 Linux swap nate On Mon, 28 Feb 2000, FreeMan wrote: c-3 >I also have rebootet before I formated the disk, I tried it thousand c-3 >times, no matter what I did, I always got "swapon failed - drive or c-3 >resource busy" c-3 >I also tried other HDs, another RAM, nothing helped. c-3 > c-3 >> you didnt mention that you rebooted, that message is very common when you c-3 >> do not reboot. some system configurations REQUIRE it. make sure you c-3 >> reboot BEFORE you try to format the drive, otherwise you will probably c-3 >> screw the whole drive up. c-3 >> c-3 >> nate c-3 >> c-3 >> On Sun, 27 Feb 2000, FreeMan wrote: c-3 >> c-3 >> c-3 >I already tried what you told me.

You have to set the suid bit of /usr/lib/apache/suexec or /usr/lib/apache-ssl/suexec according to which one you use. If you have suidmanager installed, then put it in /etc/suid.conf as well (see doc for exact instructions). Robert Varga

how do I pick gnome-terminal's meta key?
I got a new machine and am trying to setup the same meta key to work under all of my programs. gnome-terminal seems to want the alt key and ignores the meta key, whereas emacs uses the meta key and ignores the alt key. So, I can't just swap them with an xmodmap. Is there a way to tell gnome-terminal to use meta instead of alt? thanks, -Cliff [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Kernel Compile
I am attempting to compile the 2.0.38 kernel under debian using a 486 33MHz computer. The current version of GCC is 2.91.66-0slink. I also have all the current versions of the library files. After I configure, make dep, make clean, then make bzImage (or zImage) I get the following errors: as86 -0 -a -o bootsect.o bootsect.s ld86 -0 -s -o bootsect bootsect.o make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.38/arch/i386/boot/compre ssed' ./xtract /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.38/vmlinux | gzip -9 | ./piggyback > piggy.o Non-GCC header of 'system' Compressed size 20. ld -qmagic -Ttext 0xfe0 -o vmlinux head.o misc.o piggy.o ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 0fe0 misc.o: In function `fill_inbuf': misc.o(.text+0x1ebc): undefined reference to `input_data' misc.o(.text+0x1ec1): undefined reference to `input_len' misc.o(.text+0x1ed7): undefined reference to `input_data' make[2]: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.38/arch/i386/boot/compres sed' make[1]: *** [compressed/vmlinux] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.38/arch/i386/boot' make: *** [zImage] Error 2 Any Ideas?
build raid on install
Is it possible to build RAID-1 on install before installing any packages. I was looking at the software-RAID howto, and it says to install linux on a single partition, then create your RAID devices, and then move the data over to the raid devices. Here is my setup: /dev/sda1 swap 64 Megs /dev/sda5 / 100 Megs /dev/sda6 /boot 10 megs /dev/sda7 /usr 700 Megs /dev/sda8 /tmp 250 Megs /dev/sda9 /var 350 Megs /dev/sda10 /home 7000 Megs /dev/sdb164 Megs /dev/sdb5100 Megs /dev/sdb610 megs /dev/sdb7700 Megs /dev/sdb8250 Megs /dev/sdb9350 Megs /dev/sdb10 7000 Megs As you can see, I have configured two disks almost identical. I want to turn /dev/sda7 and /dev/sdb7 into /dev/md0 which in turn will be mounted at /var and then I want to do /dev/sda10 and /dev/sdb10 into /dev/md1 which in turn will be mounted at /home When I read the software raid-HOWTO, it says install Linux on one root partition and then prepare those other partitions, but don't mount them. Then once you have a small running system, create the raid partitions, copy your data over, change you /etc/fstab so it mounts the /dev/mdx and voila, you are off and running. Here's the problem. I only have 100 Megs as root. I suppose I could install a teenie tiny system on this, but it would be nice to create the /dev/mdx devices before installation. Is this possible? brian -- Brian Lavender http://www.brie.com/brian/
plotutils2.2 under debian2.0

VP_IDE
Hi all, I've just compiled 2.2.14 kernel, but on startup it writes: VP_IDE: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39 VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide0: BM-DMA at 0xe000-0xe007, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0xe008-0xe00f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio hda: ST34321A, ATA DISK drive hdc: CD-532E-B, ATAPI CDROM drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 How to resolve this VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqa later? That is VP_IDE? another problem is that I get error SCIOADDRT at booting time, while with 2.0.36 kernel everything was ok. Thank you in advance.
Does Exim support SMTP AUTH?

That might well be your problem right there. From the gcc FAQ (/usr/doc/gcc/FAQ.gz), in the section on "Building Linux kernels": # If you try to build a 2.0.x kernel for Intel machines with any # compiler other than GCC 2.7.2, then you are on your own. The 2.0.x # kernels are to be built only with gcc 2.7.2. They use certain asm # constructs which are incorrect, but (by accident) happen to work with # gcc 2.7.2.

I have an Xpert @work 98 (PCI 8MB) and it works fairly good in X, not so good in console yet (SVGAlib support is iffy/depreciated, fb is still being worked on) There is a GLX (3D hardware acceleration/opengl) module in development at utah-glx.openprojects.net (I think) which I found while looking for Matrox info, interestingly enough. On my K6/233, my framerate jumped from about 0.2fps with software rendering to about 37fps with hardware acceleration (as according to the gears demo in the Mesa source) I hear the AGP cards work better (but you neet the agpgart support from the development kernel) but I have none to test. And 16bpp seems to be a bit faster on the rendering. Hope this helps. > > I am getting a new system (Intel Celeron 466), and want a card that will work > well with that and a 17" monitor.
