different file timestamp on samba
Hello! I have Samba 2.0.7 on Potato. File dates after a modification are: -for Win95 clients the clients date and time -for WinNT clients the Samba server's date and time. How can I make for Win95 clients the file modified timestap to be the server one, like for WinNT clients? Thanks, Karesz.

Are you using Vim? If so, I've attached a good script by Claudio
Fleiner which allows you to use Ispell from within Vim. Source it
from your .vimrc and then just hit when you want to check
the file you are working on. This may work in plain Vi too,
wouldn't know because I haven't tried. Instruction are there in
vimspell.vim.
Good luck!

Restoring printer to operation
Short of re-installing potato how can I get my printer back after having done a dist-upgrade to woody. Everything worked with an earlier upgrade.

When a printer is selected and 'OK' button is clicked a Tcl script error is displayed: bad listbox index "": must be active, anchor, end, @x,y, or a number. Oh, just occurred to me - that's the second click. The first click does not return a list of drivers. Did apt-get remove printtool, then apt-get install printtool. Ideas?

Changing from X to a virtual terminal doesn't work
In debian 2.2 with a Diamond FireGl 1000 pro, the screen goes sleep when I change *from X to a virtual terminal*. Virtual terminals works fine before starting Xserver. Xserver works well also, but it seems like the screen lose the sync or the video card doesn't get back well to virtual terminal vga mode. Getting back again from the virtual terminal to X works again. I tried with Xfree86 3.3.6 3dLabs xserver and with XFree86 4.0.1. And the problem remains the same. Anybody knows something about this problem... and a solution ? Thanks, Unai

Re: IP TUNNEL / was Re: doesn't anybody use tunnelling / vpn?
Hi folks, I'm certainly no expert in this field, but until some BOFH put up a firewall between college and my ISP, the following worked for me (should be all on one line...): ssh -C -P -f -L 8181:localhost:8080 remotehost.com "sleep 365d" > /dev/null 2>&1 This will create an encrypted tunnel between port 8181 on your machine and port 8080 on remotehost.com (you must have RSA authentication working for SSH so it doesn't ask you for a password). Put that in a little script file, and run it when you need the tunnel. It should stay up indefinately, but if it doesn't, run your script again. Too easy. Of course, if you want to tunnel lots of different services (the above is only good for a web proxy, but adapt the ports for whatever you need), it's going to get prohibitively complicated. BTW, I don't believe that sleep needs to be as long as I have done it - that was just what I ended up with to be on the safe side.

Re: 3c509 troubles
Hello! I've also got a 3c509b and it works fine. I switched on PnP mode in the DOS-based "3com utilites" setup program and then you don't really have to do anything complicated any more, because the bios automatically assigns irq/dma. Perhaps, there's just another pnp card using the interrupt of the 3com and this could be changed by switching the 3com to pnp. And: You've got to compile and install the kernel module for 3c509, it normally is able to autodetect irq, i/o etc.. For the irq etc... configuration, you could use isapnp, but it doesn't seem to be necessary for this card. I never used linux 3c...setup in my life.

I read your mail yesterday and whereas it was really interessting, it seemed somehow problematic. Well, slept one night on it and with that ideas came: First of all i'm with you, in depreciating the existence of old bugs (out of date tracking system is equally bad), but i do not follow about which consequences this implies on presentation in class. "Honesty" is one of the essential benefits you get with free software, and maybe the "warm fuzzy" feeling is not the best starting point when talking about software. (has to do with beings human or animal a lot more than with software and technical knickknacks) I'd recommend the following aproach: a) Tell what debian is and what it wants to be. Both can be learnd from the policy. b) Build up familiarity and confidence in the debian system by using it (potato that is). Maybe tell stories from your personal debian history. c) Point out that there are deficiencies in the debian system and which mechanisms exist to address theese. This is the time to mention the bugtracking system, your bugs and the overly old ones. d) Show and practice how to contact the debian people, teach netiquette and how to write a useful mailsubject, last not least how to cope with high traffic mailing lists. Getting in contact with people will then create the "warm fuzzy" feeling. I think this aproach could be used for any debian presentation regardless if 15min shorttalk or half a year of intense training. Finally here is some truths to keep in mind: - Hiding of deficiencies is an indication of weekness I think debian is strong enough to address its deficiencies. If you hide debians deficiencies in class, it is because you fear your lecturing beeing to weak to present them properly. (Don't take this too personal, if your lecturing is on debian your quite good anway. This is just to show that, if you are tempted to not talk about something it's quite sure you definitly should talk about it.) - Perfection is illusion and would be boring anyway This is the advertising problem, TV-world is perfect in a way, but real life certainly isn't. This is true with software and everything including human beings. One should face this fact sometime and you could consider it an entry ticket to the free-software community to drop the illusion of perfection. (recomended reading: Aldous Huxley - Brave New World) This means aiming at perfection nevertheless but not being restrained by being imperfect. - It's more fun to do the big things than the small ones, but both are equally necessary Well this is why documentation is rare and often out of date. I don't really know what to do about this. Maybe there should be awards to spice the small things. Personally i think it wrong to seperate small things from the big ones. In documentation issues the concept of literate programming seems most appealing to me. Sometimes you can't avoid seperation, i know, but it means troubles in every single case. Well, one could think i've been carried away a little, but that's fine with me. Maybe there's some ideas in it you can use in class. I'd like to hear how it went sometime.

Mariusz -Oryginalna wiadomość- Od: unai [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wysłano: 28 września 2000 10:23 Do: debian-user@lists.debian.org Temat: Changing from X to a virtual terminal doesn't work In debian 2.2 with a Diamond FireGl 1000 pro, the screen goes sleep when I change *from X to a virtual terminal*. Virtual terminals works fine before starting Xserver. Xserver works well also, but it seems like the screen lose the sync or the video card doesn't get back well to virtual terminal vga mode. Getting back again from the virtual terminal to X works again. I tried with Xfree86 3.3.6 3dLabs xserver and with XFree86 4.0.1. And the problem remains the same. Anybody knows something about this problem... and a solution ? Thanks, Unai -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null

Try 'netstat -a', or 'netstat -an' if it bogs down trying to do DNS lookups. You might have to look for the port numbers from /etc/services rather than the service names.

That's how the C library describes the EINVAL error code, which is a fairly vague error saying "you passed the wrong argument to this function".

unzip not installed?
Hello, A strange thing, I installed the 'zip' package: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg --status zip Package: zip Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: utils Installed-Size: 153 Maintainer: Santiago Vila <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 2.30-1 Replaces: zip-crypt Depends: libc6 Conflicts: zip-crypt Description: Archiver for .zip files This is the Debian GNU/Linux version of InfoZIP's zip program. It produces files that are fully compatible with the popular PKZIP program; however, the command line options are not identical. In other words, the end result is the same, but the methods differ. :-) So 'zip' works, but strangely enough, unzip doesn't seem to have been installed. What's going on? Do I need to install another package to get unzip?

mount problems NEED URGENT HELP
Hi All, I've got the following problem: My debian system use one local fs (/dev/hda2 on / (rw)) But time to time I've to mount some other (network) fs This works fine, so simple asking "mount" I receive list of all mounted fs. Now when i do umount that network fs this clear ALL information about mounted fs, so asking "mount" produced emty list. But in fact everything remains mounted !!! (I've try to mount /floppy and then mount/umount network fs and can access /floppy/* although /floppy is not listed in mounted fs) Any help is VERY apriciated

Use the "Partition the disk" menu entry. If the disk is partitioned, then this won't be defaulted automatically, but will be an alternative. Then "Initialise partition" and select (or type) /boot. This command is always an alternative, offered at the "Install something or other" stage. Of course, it you already have your /boot partition in Mandrake, there's no reason why you shouldn't share it with Debian. Just install Debian normally, then rename /boot, edit /etc/fstab to mount the right partition, mount it and copy the files. (You could even have the partition contain two directories, one for each OS, with symlinks pointing to the correct one, I imagine, though I don't think it's necessary.)

Can > anyone give me some advise here? Also which of the > sparc models are 64 bit (don't think any of them have > hit ebay yet?). Just sharing my experience the benefit of all who might be looking to try Debian Linux on a Sparc for the first time: I bought a SparcStation Classic from workstation.net awhile ago that didn't have a floppy drive, or a cd-rom drive. The only possible contact it had with the outside world was through ethernet. Netbooting an image via the PROM was fairly snappy and Debian was the obvious choice here. This isn't the first piece of Sun hardware that I've bought either, btw. One thing I've found about their hardware is that it's very picky. Sparcs don't boot unless you have both a (non-standard) Sun keyboard and mouse connected, and I've found their keyboards to be low quality in terms of durability. Perhaps it's because I bought used equipment, but I hear this a lot from people in corporate/university settings. YMMV. This could be a little suprising to someone who has only used ia86 hardware (such as myself). If possible, buy everything you can in a single package because it's far more expensive to hunt down individual pieces for something like Sun hardware. Also, workstation.net is a great company to deal with and I was very pleased with both their prices and quality of service. Also, If you're not interested in running X, I'd recommend the 19" B&W monitors, workstation.net only charged me $10 for one (with purchase of sparc) and they're great if you like working from the command-line. This is probably off-topic. Let me know if this is was unappreciated. :) -MB

RE: Installing E themes?
Move the themes you want to install to ~/.enlightenment/themes (~ denotes your home directory path) Next, root click on the desktop, go to maintenance, and regenerate your menus and it should show up when you root click and goto "themes". The "control-panel" (I assume you mean "control-center") is used to install gtk themes. E themes don't have an installer; you have to manually put them where you want them.

How to set IRQ for a module?
After months of trying to grasp an adequate understanding of modules, I
still find myself having to ask this list; sorry for the bother. This is
long, but I'm trying to be complete.
I've got a soundcard (Creative CT2940, Soundblaster 16 according to
isapnp.conf). It's a PnP card. Here are the steps I've taken to get it
going.
Insert card.
As root, run "pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf" to create an isapnp.conf file.
My understanding is that this contains all the possible settings for all
the ISA PnP cards in the box. Since I only have the soundcard, that's
the only device mentioned in the isapnp.conf file. Since there are
several "logical devices" (?) on the card, such as joystick circuitry
and etc, there are several sections in the isapnp.conf file.
Trying to keep things simple, I leave all the extra logical devices
commented out for the time being, and work only with the "Audio"
section. The way this file is put together is really confusing; the file
says to "choose one only", but there's no indication if that means one
line, or one section, or one item between DMA and IRQ and IO; the file I
have mentions a "DMA 0" and a "DMA 1", as well as an "IO 0" and an "IO
1" and an "IO 2"; do I select only one of all five of these? Or one of
the DMAs and one of the IOs? or one of each, but only in this section
but not another section with similar choices? Very confusing, and the
documentation hasn't helped me any.
What I've done is to uncomment the following lines:
(CONFIGURE CTL0026/321098269 (LD 0
(READPORT 0x0273)
(ISOLATE PRESERVE)
(IDENTIFY *)
(VERBOSITY 2)
(CONFLICT (IO FATAL)(IRQ FATAL)(DMA FATAL)(MEM FATAL)) # or WARNING
(INT 0 (IRQ 5 (MODE +E)))
(DMA 0 (CHANNEL 1))
(DMA 1 (CHANNEL 5))
(IO 0 (SIZE 16) (BASE 0x0220))
(NAME "CTL0026/321098269[0]{Audio }")
(ACT Y)
))
and left everything else in the file commented out.
Recompiled the kernel to support SB16.
In /etc/modules, there automagically appeared a line with
sound
I don't remember whether that worked somewhat or not, but for some
reason that I don't remember now, I commented out the "sound" line and
replaced it with "sb".
Now when I do an "lsmod", I see the following:
3c509 5744 1
sb 32992 0
uart401 6128 0 [sb]
sound 56336 0 [sb uart401]
soundcore 2608 6 [sb sound]
vfat9056 0 (unused)
fat29312 0 [vfat]
smbfs 24304 0 (unused)
nls_cp437 3904 0 (unused)
coda 50960 0 (unused)
I reboot or restart /etc/rcS.d/S15isapnp.
When I run "saytime", I get "The time is now."
When I try to splay a .wav file, usually I get silence; occassionally I
get a high-pitched whine or something similar. Very similar to an IRQ
conflict type behaviour.
So I take a closer look at dmesg; sure enough, there's mention of an
interrupt conflict when trying to put the card on IRQ 7:
Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996
SB 4.13 detected OK (220)
sb: Interrupt test on IRQ7 failed - Probable IRQ conflict
But wait a minute; in my /etc/isapnp.conf file I uncommented an IRQ 5
line, and nothing about IRQ 7 is mentioned.
So I make the guess that perhaps the isapnp.conf file is setting the
actual hardware to IRQ 5, but that the module(s) is/are looking to IRQ 7
to find the sound card.
"man modules" is useless, as is "man modutils". Neither "man
modules.conf" nor "man update-modules" mentions "irq" or "interrupt".
There's no /usr/doc/modules directory. The info on /usr/doc/modutils
hasn't helped me. It mentioned modules.dep, but there's no "man
modules.dep" nor a doc directory for it. I did find a modules.dep file
in my kernel source directory, but it didn't give me much of a clue.
I'm sure there's probably some way to tell a module to look to a certain
IRQ, but I haven't found the documentation for it. Or perhaps I'm wrong
about needing to tell the module about the IRQ, etc?
So my questions are:
1) Am I getting close to an understanding of how things work?
"isapnp.conf" specifies the "jumper" settings a board should use, and
then isapnp reads that file and sets the board accordingly. Then the
modules have to be told which IRQs to look to when loading the modules?
2) How do I tell the modules which IRQ is to be associated with which
module?
3) "modprobe sb" loads four modules. Is there a single command to
unload those four modules rather than having to use four separate rmmod
commands? This would need to be a generic command that is the opposite
of modprobe, rather than something specific like a script to unload
these specific four modules.
Thanks for any direct help and any pointers to documentation that is
understandable!

Dual NIC Problem
I am a new Debian (2.2) user and am trying to set up an Intel machine for two NIC cards. One NIC will monitor (tcpdump) one ethernet segment while I telnet into the machine on the other NIC on another segment. eth0 is on the segment I want to monitor. eth1 is the one I was planning to telnet into. The problem is that I do not get a login prompt when I telnet into the device, I get a "telnet> " prompt. If someone could point me in the right direction, either to some written resources or advice, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Brian

Gnome sounds
Question about Gnome for all... does anyone know how to have NO sound for common things like opening and closing windows? I want it for login and out and more notable things, but since my sound card makes a POP whenever it plays a sound, this is really too much. I tried putting a blank entry in the configurator but it replaces it with the defaults.

The only problem I can see with the above is, if you have to run this thing several times, you might get several orphaned "sleep 365d" processes on your remote machine.

Re: Default Route
It's not in the same subnet but works when I add a route of .. route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev eth0 metric 1.

Like expr, but for floating point numbers?
I would like to have something like "expr", but not restricted to integers. For example, I have a bunch of numbers: 99 100 99 98 100 . . . and I take their average with "awk". This gives me some floating point number. Now I would like to compare, in a shell script, this floating point number to some other floating point number. How do people do this? -chris

Re: Changing from X to a virtual terminal doesn't work
Thanks both ! You were right. The framebuffer support was in the kernel (a debian instalation kernel version 2.2.17-idepci). I didn't think about it. It's a little bit strange. This kernel has also de configuration lines : CONFIG_FB_VESA=y CONFIG_FB_VGA16=y so support would be quite generic. For the moment I compiled a new kernel without the framebuffer support. Only with de VGA_CONSOLE and VIDEO_SELECT options (they were also selected in the previous kernel...). And it works fine ! May another day I will try with the framebuffer and Permedia 2 support. Thank you very much again ! Unai

Which files in /var to back up?
With the advent of apt-get and cable modems, it appears I no longer have to back up every file on my machine. In particular, things like debian packages can be easily retrieved after a crash, provided that the appropriate status files exist. Presumably these are files in /var like /var/lib/dpkg/status or maybe /var/cache/apt/* ... anyone know exactly which files I should be backing up?

I assume those are kernel version numbers since they don't look like Debian versions. However, all of them need the kernel's updated, since there are bugs and known security issues with all of them IIRC. > I have two questions that I am trying to get answered for them, and did not > find the info on the Debian web site: > > 1) What are the minimum hardware requirements for installing Debian > GNU/Linux? Will this change for near-future versions (next 18 mos or so)? On our website we have install docs that give this information. Off the top of my head, I think the minimum sane hardware is a 486 with 8 megs of RAM, prefered is a Pentium with atleast 32 megs, and even more if you are going to use things like X or a database. What you do with the machine has a lot of impact on the hardware requirements. > 2) Is there (or will there be) a web-based version of this product available? I'm not sure what you mean by this. If you mean a version with web capabilities, like http etc. Then yes we have always had the capability. Also I'd like to add a quick note, "Debian GNU/Linux" is not a product. It is a Linux distribution that is completely free and developed/maintained by hundreds of volunteer developers. You wont find a company called "Debian" although we do operate under a non-profit org called "Software in the Public Interest". You can, however, purchase versions of Debian from some corporate vendors. These come in two forms, such as standard CD vendors like CheapBytes to "box sets" like the VA/SGI/Oreilly Debian distribution. Then there are companies that distribute versions of GNU/Linux based on Debian, such as Stormix and Corel.

You could probably use awk to do it.
Anyways, here's a quick shell function that I whipped up to do simple
comparison... really, dealing with floating point in the shell is messy.
Also, this may be bash specific... I don't know if plain sh supports the $
# and % stuff.
# returns 0 if $1 > $2
# returns 1 if $1 < $2
# returns 2 if $1 = $2
# returns 3
cmp() {
local int_a=${1%.*}
local dec_a=${1#*.}
local int_b=${2%.*}
local dec_b=${2#*.}
[ $int_a -lt $int_b ] && return 0
[ $int_b -lt $int_a ] && return 1
[ $int_b -eq $int_a ] && {
[ $dec_a -lt $dec_b ] && return 0
[ $dec_b -lt $dec_a ] && return 1
[ $dec_b -eq $dec_a ] && return 2
}
return 3
}
I don't think the first -eq comparision is required, but it makes it a bit
more complete. It'll only work for decimals x.y where x and y are not
empty.

doc-debian failed to build
I was told that there is a emacs&ispell answer in the new doc-debian which I am interested in. I used: apt-get -b source doc-debian to get the newest package (with sources.list pointing deb-src to woody) Build failed because there is no debiandoc2html. I don't know if this is a bug, because the "binary" of doc-debian should not depend on debiandoc2html. Is there something like a build-depend? What I am missing of apt-get is a "install-unstable" function so that I can install some packages from unstable while using stable. Then I could do something like "apt-get install-unstable doc-debian" and I don't have to use ftp myself.
