Ahh, you are right, that solves the xdm problem.  ulimit -v is what I
wanted.  I missed this because I use tcsh which doesn't seem to have
an analog of this limit using its built-in limit command.  Is there a
way to set a limit on virtual memory use within tcsh?

And is there a natural place to put a ulimit -v command for ssh logins?
Somewhere that can't be overridden by users and which works for users
who use tcsh?

Thanks for the help!

I can not see how that can rectify the situation.  I get this problem

install-info error when installing package

[Alan Davis]

One of the most usual errors I have received over the years when installing
debian packages has been the failure of install-info.   
  
So what is the solution?

The problem is an error in both prerm and postinst scripts when running

well im making assumptions here, but since Xsession is run with bash
(as i changed it to do) and the limits are set there, they SHOULD
apply to any child processes, including the windowmanager and any
processes it spawns, such as terms and the shells they run.  so even
if tcsh does not have a limit command it should still be subject to
the resource limits in effect by parent processes.  (netscape does not
have a limit command either but is still subject to my limits in
/etc/X11/Xsession) 

as for the console, login should set these limits before it runs your
shell via pam_limits.so

add 

sessionrequired pam_limits.so

to /etc/pam.d/ssh

this will work with OpenSSH.  

pam_limits is shell agnositic since it sets the limits before the
shell is even spawned.

Runaway printer!

[Glyn Millington]

Can you help me with a runaway printer?  (Canon BJ200, using
Potato and with apsfilter).  Somehow, being careless, I have
managed to put a huge (around 1mb) file into the printer queue;
and I cannot stop the SOAB from printing, reams and reams of
Postscript code.

I've switched it off and tried "lprm" both  as user and as root;
I located the folder in /var/spool/lp where the job was being
sourced and removed the two files and the lockfile that applied
to that task - that approach did the trick n Mandrake but not
with debian - STILL it keeps printing.  I have tried "killing"
lpd while the thing is printing...

There must be a cheaper way than lettinmg the thing run through
two ink cartridges.  Can anyone tell me how?

Thanks in advance,

Glyn M

Firstly, does printing of other formats (eg. Postscript) work?  If
so, I guess it's just that particular magicfilter line.  If you
can't print anything, check your /proc/parport/0/hardware to make
sure you have one.

A friend of mine had this problem and I only solved it for her
today.  Basically we purged lprng and then reinstalled it, then
reran magicfilterconfig afterwards.  If you can't find other reasons
why it doesn't work, this is worth a try.

I just installed Debian 2.2 just over a week ago.  I managed to keep
my old /home partition from a previous RH install.  It was actually
pretty easy.

I took note of what partition was already mounted as /home (in my
case, /dev/hda7).  During the partitioning phase of installation,
Debian noted that I had existing ext2 partitions, and gave me the
option to make new partitions or mount the existing ones.  I chose the
options (can't remember the exact wording) that meant make filesystems
on most partitions (I think the phrase was "Initialize"), while
mounting /dev/hda7 as /home (perhaps the phrase was "Activate").

Actually the real sequence of events was a little more complicated
because it involved installing a new hard drive at the same time and
copying the contents of /home to a larger partition, but I'm positive
that it was close enough that the above should work fine.

RAM problems

[Vincent Perdrix]

Hi everyone.

I just managed to get "Potato" but it seems that I have a
problem with my RAM.

I currently have 192M installed in my AMD/Athlon 700 Box.
Of course I added the correct line, ie: append="mem=192M"
in lilo.conf and ran /sbin/lilo.

Linux swap partition: >600 MB

Everything was fine, for 2-3 minutes after the command
prompt appeared. cat /proc/meminfo would show me that
indeed 192MB were recognized. X starts just fine, but for
no reason, the system crashes. I then have to violently
reboot my box (I choosed Debian to precisely avoid that!),
and it won't reboot correctly: the disks partitions are
definitely corrupted ie: Repartitioning of the Hard Drive +
re-installation (I know it's not the best way to solve
that).

The strangest thing is that the systems worked just fine
with 192MB installed but without the correct "append" line
in lilo.conf.

Removing 64MB of SDRAM and adding append="mem=128M" in
lilo.conf lead to the same results: system crash.

-Just to be sure, I tried to install a RedHat 6.2 and got
the same problems-

Shall I accuse my SDRAM, or my Mainboard, shall I accuse
Murphy or did I miss something important?

Thanks for your help.

I am not sure if the Rage 128 Pro is the same as the Rage 128 AGP that
I have, but I think it should be fine.  If you go to the XFree86 site,
and look at the supported cards list for 3.3.6, they mention Rage
128.  It needs to use the SVGA server, and in the "Device" section of
your XF86Config, have a line like:

Section "Device"
Identifier  "r128"

XF86Setup had an option for the Rage 128, if I recall correctly, the
only thing I had to add was change the Identifier line.  It's worked
perfectly ever since.

I believe the XFree86 site mentions that the Rage 128 has 3d accel
support under the 4.0* versions, using DRI.  I haven't tried that yet
however.

ATI Rage Fury Pro 128

Hello,

I installed Debian GNU/Linux (potato). All went well except for the setup of my

I have a ATI Rage Fury Pro 128 graphics card
(ASIC Type: Rage 128 Pro
ASIC ID: 5046
Bus Type: AGP
Mem Size: 16 Mb  SDR SGRAM 1:1 /SDRAM)

I have the impression that this card is not supported by XFree86-3.3.6?
Anybody any idea how I should install this card under XFree86-3.3.6?

Or should I try to install XFree86-4.0.1?
If so, can I find some debian packages somewhere?

Which kernel are you running? 

Remove the line from lilo.conf, rerun lilo, reboot and see what
cat /proc/meminfo says.

If you are running 2.2-Linux or better, no need to put the mem line in
there.

Hm, I don't have anything in /proc/parport... in fact I don't have a

You mentioned in an earlier message something about BIOS settings?  Do
you think that has something to do with it?

I think I shall have to sit down and read up on parallel port stuff.
I didn't even know until a couple days ago about the parport stuff,
I'd only heard of /dev/lp0 etc

Re: 3c509 troubles

[Stephan Hachinger]

Hello!

Maybe, it could be a "normal" hardware resource conflict. But, why is the
module loaded properly although the card has a conflict? I think, the card
has a resource conflict, but the 3c509 module doesn't detect it. When
ifconfig wants to configure the interface, it therefore cannot succeed. Hmm,
as I said, the card works absolutely ok in pnp mode in my machine, but if
you use jumperless, but non-pnp mode, you maybe have to assign the resources
to this isa card in bios. In pnp mode, it could be possible that it has to
be configured with isapnp (but not at my machine :)). Just write me some
more about your hardware settings, maybe some interrupt and i/o listings
from /proc and we'll see.

Hmmm, are you SURE?

Maybe you dont HAVE more that 64MB even though you THINK you do.

I have not had to add a mem line since I upgraded from 2.0 to 2.2 and it
works just fine here. That would also explain why it crashes when you try
to tell it you have more.

Get into the BIOS on boot. How much RAM does the BIOS say you have?

Re: partitions and lilo

[Gil Elad]

5 OS's ?!
WOW good luck!
you might have a problem loading some of them, though, if they start
after the 1024th cylinder (roughly 8.5 GB). The BIOS won't be able to
see your kernel image after that.
If they're all linuces (that's plural for linux) try partitioning only
the root partition (no more than 50 MB) for each version, but mounting
the same /usr and /home partitions for all of them. That way you can
squeeze as many root partitions as you like before the 1024 cylinder
mark and leaving the hefty /usr and /home partitions for last, to be
mounted after the kernel has been loaded (at which point the 1024
cylinder barrier disappears).
This idea is just off the top of my head. I don't know if it'll work if
you use different distros ( i'm relatively new to linux too).
As for primary vs. extended partitions - I'd recommend putting all your
linux partitions (except maybe your swap partition) in one extended
partition. IDE drives can have 63 logical partitions in one extended
one, but only 4 primary ones (with SCSI the number shrinks to 12, but
that's still plenty).

Try reading the partition mini-HOWTO at  
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Partition/index.html

or the large disk HOWTO at

http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Large-Disk-HOWTO.html

Hi will,

Quoth will trillich,

While this probably isn't exactly what you are asking for, I believe
maildrop and reformail will do what you want. Though I have never tried
it, there is an example in the maildrop man page that seems very similar
to this (the actual example is of a vacation-type responder, but the
concept is pretty similar to what you want).

While procmail is certainly the most commonly used MDA around here,
judging from the list, I quite like maildrop. It natively supports
Maildir, and the rules are very simple to work out, using bog-standard
regex's. It also has a very comprehensive set of man pages and is under
active development. It's also a debian package, so no pain installing
it.

No lyx mini-window in WindowMaker

LyX parameters are handle in a strange way by WindowMaker:

there in no way to post-generate a mini-window for LyX in WindowMaker.

Whipe the disc(s) clean and reinstall. Install snort + possibly firewall.
Then set in /etc/hosts.deny :
ALL: ALL

and in /etc/hosts.allow you put in the addresses you trust.

It's a start at least.

Updated check-debian-cd

[Francesco Potorti`]

check-debian-cd is a shell script for quick checking of Debian CD images
after  having burnt them,  and for  checking of  Debian CD  images after
having rsync'ed them.  It is released under GNU GPL.  Simple usage:

   check-debian-cd
looks in /dev/cdrom and cheks the disc.  Or:

  check-debian-cd binary-i386-1_NONUS.iso
checks the image.  You can give any number of images as arguments.

Checking is  done using  the md5sum program,  and comparing  the results
with an  internal database of  sums.  The program  automatically detects
the  image, because  the internal  database contains  signatures  of the
Debian CDs.   If the  signature is not  found in the  internal database,
check-debian-cd  looks in  the  current and  parent  directories for  an
MD5SUMS file (or  one can be provided with an  option), and compares the
hash generated by md5sum with all those found in the MD5SUMS files.

Comments  and  bug  reports  welcome.   The  latest  version  is  always

Console didn't wake up from blank

[Christian Pernegger]

Hello,

when I came home this afternoon I was rather looking forward to reading
my e-mail - only to find out that my two ttys wouldn't wake up and rather
stay blanked.

Unfortunately I did not try to shut the machine down via ctrl-alt-del
but panicked and brought it down via sysreq. I couldn't find anything
unusual in any of the logs.

I realize I don't have much to go on - I just hope this is some known

Listing only the package names with dpkg?

[Preben Randhol]

I'm trying to list out all the packages I have installed on my system.
I can do a dpkg -l, but I only want the package names not the rest, as
I'm going to use the package names.

dpkg -l gives:

ii  xfonts-scalabl 3.3.6-2scalable fonts for X
ii  xfree86-common 3.3.6-10   X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure

I would like to have:

xfonts-scalable_3.3.6-2
xfree86-common_3.3.6-10
etc...

I've been looking through the man page, but I cannot find out how to
achieve this.

big problem !

[Pep Ciuraneta]

hello all !

i've got a big problem with my new Debian 2.2.

yesterday, i want to add a new 3GB hard disk into my system (P120, 64MB,
3GB) substituting an old 540MB HD (my /tmp). i did it without problems,
and partitioned it into three primary partitions: 1.- 2GB, 2.- 200MB 3.-
800MB.

i intended de first one to be the new /home with quotas enabled, the
second one the new /var and the third one the new /tmp. i formated them
and made the changes into fstab. finally i copied the original
directories into the new partitions and rebooted the system and  ups
!  the system gets locked trying to load the postgreSQL service.

seeing this, i reverted the situation, installing again the old 540 MB
hard disk as /tmp, but the system still gets locked at the same point.

now my question is ... can anyone tell me why? maybe i made a mistake at
some point, but i cannot figure where :_(

please i need help about this.

i don't want to bore everybody reading the list with my problem, so you
can answer directly to my e-mail address [EMAIL PROTECTED] , thank you very
much.

I'm new to Debian (not to Linux/UNIX) but you could pipe the
results through "cut".  For example:

dpkg -l | cut -c 5-30 > my_log_file

This will output only columns 5-30 of the output.

theres still a need for many systems(including mine). its a bios thing

I've been doing that with Partition Magic (DOS, Win98, WinNT, Win2K Pro, RedHat

bind and address rewriting

[Thomas Voss]

Hello,

I have a linux box (Debian 2.2, kernel 2.2.17) running as an ISDN dial-on-
demand gateway to my ISP. The ISP is assigning dynamic IP adresses, and I
have address rewriting enabled (echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr).
UDP packets from my internal network arriving for port 53 of the NS of my
ISP are masqueraded and routed through the ippp device.

On my main linux box (also Debian 2.2), I have a local caching-only
nameserver installed (bind8) which forwards to the NS of my IP.

Now, when bind tries to resolve a domain name and wants to connect to the
forwarding NS, the UDP packet is masqueraded correctly and triggers the
PPP dial-out to my ISP. But finally, the UDP packet gets dropped out there
because no address rewriting is done for UDP packets to match the newly
assigned IP address of the ippp interface.

bind seems to resend the request after one long minute has passed, but by
this time, my dial-on-demand configuration has closed the connection due
to inactivity on the link.

Is there something reasonable good to work around this? Since no address
rewriting is done for UDP packets, it would be an alternative to make bind
resend its requests much earlier than after one minute (say, 5 seconds or
so), but it seems to me that there is no option for setting the delay
between the retransmissions.

Does anybody has an idea about that?

Greetings,
Thomas

Thanks for the suggestion.  It is not easy to do that because the
seminar style uses several PostScript specials.  These would all have
to be rewritten to used pdflatex.  Also, I am incorporating PostScript
figures into the slides.  I would have to convert all of them to PDF
for pdflatex.

Another person showed me that I can do what I wish by changing the
PostScript Prolog.  Dvips produces 

%%BeginSetup
%%Feature: *Resolution 1200dpi
TeXDict begin
 @landscape
%%EndSetup

If I modify this to 

%%BeginSetup
%%Feature: *Resolution 1200dpi
TeXDict begin
  << /PageSize [792 612] /Orientation 0 >> setpagedevice
%%EndSetup

I can convert the PostScript file to PDF with ps2pdf and get the
desired orientation.

Ah, this will be fixed soon (i.e. it's in the version of dpkg in CVS,
I'm told), by allowing you to set the COLUMNS environment variable to
say how wide you want the output to be. Or you could just resize your
xterm, if you're using one and not the console; you might need to type
'reset' to force the terminal to notice the resize, if it hasn't
already.

If no address rewriting is done you need to check your ipchains rules.

Yes but what has probably happened is that the TeX code was accidently

BTW the last \ in the subject line should not be there either.
\verb|\|  will print the \

Don't know if anyone's suggested this yet - it might be easier to manage if
you put lilo on a partition and point to all your linuces from there.
Solves the 1024 cylinder problem anyway.  I use BootMagic (which comes with

There are Arabic console fonts (/usr/share/consolefonts/iso06.f??.psf.gz) and 
I suppose you can find Arabic fonts for X too.
However, as you are probably aware of, a major problem with Arabic support is 
its right to left requirements.

shutdown problem

I notice a strange behaviour when I want to shutdown my PC. 
When I do shutdown -h now it shuts down linux as it should.
But when I then turn of the Power my PC restart after one or two seconds.

I have the same behaviour with WinNT (i have a dual boot system) but i did not 
care about that to much. Now, suddenly it seems to occur with linux also??

Anybody any ideas ??

It's ACPI BIOS.  Many new BIOS have a setting which make the power switch 
behave as standby/power switch.  This changes the power off behaviour.  Try 
pushing the power switch and holding for 4-5 seconds before releasing.  It 
should stay off.  Also, look through your BIOS setup menu's to find the power 
switch setting.

When you say you copied the files to the new partitions, do you mean you
used cp?  This doesn't preserve the permissions - you should have used tar
instead.   I don't know of a fix besides chmod 777 (horrible!) or
reinstalling.  At least you still have your /home.

them
and made the changes into fstab. finally i copied the original
directories into the new partitions and rebooted the system and 
ups
!  the system gets locked trying to load the postgreSQL service.

seeing this, i reverted the situation, installing again the old 540
MB
hard disk as /tmp, but the system still gets locked at the same
point.

now my question is ... can anyone tell me why? maybe i made a
mistake at
some point, but i cannot figure where :_(

please i need help about this.

i don't want to bore everybody reading the list with my problem, so
you
can answer directly to my e-mail address [EMAIL PROTECTED] , thank you
very
much.

I tried this and it seems to work. The command has to be entered from
the cpan command line at the beginning of each session though. That is
the case on my setup anyway.

In my opinion there should be some kind of wrapper similar to the
RealPalyer or Netscape installer for these CPAN mods and also for
Apache. It would allow for removal of specific debianized mods in the
distro and allow for updates that would be recognized by debian. I
wonder why that has not been done? I suggested some time back that this
function be considered for Alien. There were no replies.
Thanks for the pointers Will!!

Software-RAID and partitioning

[Christian Pernegger]

I have 3 18GB SCSI disks I want to use in a "new-style" Soft-RAID-5
configuration. At the moment I have

1. partitionsd.4swap
2. partitionsd.3ext2(for squid)
3. partitionsd.1raid-auto

This of course means I have to have the whole md device under one
mountpoint (the directories under which are the targets of symlinks under / .)

I'd rather be able to have a real seperate partition on the array for at least
/home.

Is it feasible to split the raid partitions (sd.1) on the disks and create an
md0 and an md1, or does this hamper performance?

Thanks

Christian

go figure. the command-line command is
% cpan
but the perl package name is
CPAN
as the actual module is called
CPAN.pm
... why they didn't keep it all upper-case, i dunno.
just to cause folks like us, stress.

there may be a config file it reads. check the manpage
(i haven't) or* browse the source code (very, very large)
looking for /open or /config or suchlike.

*of course, with the perldoc facility, they are actually
the same file...

Qs from a newbie (help ASAP?) (long)

[Erin Lewy]

Hi.  Well here I am finally subscribed.  Actually I've been reading selected
bits of the list for a while (ooh I wanted to join in on the why Debian vs 
Redhat
thread...) because my BF is subscribed to this list and has been for a while
(Hi, Tom!)

The very short version of why I'm here is that I'm a hopeless apt-get addict
and could never go back to the hell that is RPM-searching (and not finding...)
ever again once I saw this thing.

I'm a relative linux newbie going to an artsy fartsy college where I am rapidly
realizing I am the most linux-savvy person on campus unless I am severely 
miscalculating
(my immediate boss in the computer lab sometimes doesn't seem WINDOWS-competant
but that's another story altogether).

Anyway, my Linux savvy (yeah right) has landed me as co-admin of a student-run
webserver. I'm the linux geek, she's the HTML guru.  Well, me being the newbie
that I am, I did mess some stuff up and I NEED YOU GUYS' HELP! No laughing.
:)

Okay. Here's the deal. The poor machine was an ANCIENT P75 running (I didn't
do it!) RedHat  5.1.  They wanted a hardware upgrade, I wanted a system upgrade.
 When the hard drive failed, they REALLY wanted a hardware upgrade, and I REALLY
wanted to never see RedHat again.  So here we are. The new machine is a Xenon
somewhere in the neighborhood of 350MHZ (it doesn't matter with Linux so I've
forgotten already...) and 64 RAM. We're thinking of upping the RAM but not sure
we need to right now.We got this machine free from the nice lab boy so we're
not complaining as yet.  We popped in the RAM from the old machine as well as
a huge hard drive and I did the install okay. Only one small problem:

The domain is registered with internic and we have a static IP. Only, I, being
the doofus that I often am, said yes when Debian's nice little install asked
me if I wanted to use DHCP/BOOTP.  Why not?  It works. I wanted to FTP the 
backups
off my home machine anyway and just wanted to get us up and running ASAP.  We
got Apache up and running and everything (Unfortunately I can't get into the
box right now to let you know what version it is...but I would assume it is
the most recent in the "Potato" directories...I just want to get everything
running before I mess with Woody because I'm paranoid as all hell.)

Well of course now we can't get it to take the old static IP due to using DHCP
so for all intents and purposes even though the machine is running we won't
be accessable save by IP address. And that IP address is dynamic. So it's not
happy. Not at all. Yes, I know, but earlier in the mail you promised not to
laugh at me, so don't start now. ;)

So at some point after realizing our dilemma we found this web site which I've
been trying to search for for the past half hour and can't find it. In any case
it told us to edit a file which was to have our current IP address on the second
line and we could just change it and be done with it (I know I am being 
excessively
vague here but at this point I was otherwise occupied and a fellow geek was
handling this aspect of it). Well this file had everything on one line and 
changing
the IP (along with restarting inetd) did nothing We are quite at a loss.


So my question is, how do I set the static IP in such a way that it will 
actually
work? Permanently? ;)  A swift response would really be appreciated as I have
to go deal with more networking and web server people relatively early in the
afternoon. I'm sorry I rambled so much

I'm looking into making a raid setup also, and I'm not familiar with the
"new-style" you're talking about.

You would have to resize all of the partitions on each drive.  

I'm not too familiar with Raid5.  Does the parity partition have to be the same
size as the data partitions?

Oh, that's ok. I always thought I was a bit on the rambling side :)

You want to edit /etc/network/interfaces, read 'man interfaces'. A snippet
from mine:

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.254
netmask 255.255.255.0

Do 'ifdown eth0'. Adjust the ip and netmask, do 'ifup eth0'. Edit /etc/hostname
to contain the unqualified (???) hostname.

That's basically what's needed, you'll have to set the domain somewhere...

Those are libraries used by xmms. You can do apt-get install libmikmod2

Onboard NIC problem

[Matt Grant]

I have Debian Potato 2.2 with Gnome running on this PC
with an on board NIC.
The motherboard is a PR440BX with 2 Ppro CPU's w/256 MB RAM
and 2 scsi drive's I have win 2000 on /dev/sda and Debian on /dev/sdb
Debian found the onboard Scsi Controller but not the NIC or 2nd CPU
the 2nd CPU isn't important( Linux works great with one Ppro)

The Nic comes up in 2000 as intel 8255x-10/100 io=ff40-ff5f irg=24(huh)
but in modconf I can't find a driver for it or I'm missing something.

If someone could shed some light on this It would be greatly appreciated

Check your load average every once in a while, and mem usage.  Then you'll
know.  Try the top and w command.

The immediate solution?  Use the ifconfig command to set a static ip, remove the
dhcp client with apt-get.

Here's how to use ifconfig (more in the man page) I'm assuming that eth0 is your
ethernet card for your static address:

killall -9 dhcpcd

this will stop the dhcp client process, unless you're not using dhcpcd.

ifconfig eth0 

edit /etc/init.d/network and place your static ip address in there.

All of my machines are upgrades from slink and have customizations, so I cant'
give you exact instructions on the changes needed.

Is this soon enough for the afternoon? ;)

Did you look in /proc/pci?

You'll need to recompile the kernel to get the 2nd CPU working.

The driver eepro100 might work.

modprobe problems

[Chris Mason]

I have a firewall using two rtl8139 cards, which I had to compile my own
kernel to use. I have had probelms with uploading files through the firewall
so I installed the kernel binary 2.2.17. I removed these cards and installed
two linksys LNE100TX4 cards. The instructions with the card told me to use
the tulip driver. When I tried to run modprobe
/lib/module/2.2.17/net/tulip.o I got "cannot find module tulip.o"
I have tried a Inter pro 100 using eepro100.o and can;'t get that to
modprobe.
What am I doing wrong? I would like to use the linksys cards. Do I need to
compile a module?

Just had to share...

[Erin Lewy]

Well, I felt like posting this because it still baffles me and makes me laugh:
a little snippet of some distro dick wars. ;)

So as I was being dragged on board as this web server's co admin the question
of upgrades came up and I voiced that if I was going to run anything on a server
it would be Debian.

The former admin (now a grad student) is still in touch with us semi-regularly
and is very close with my co-admin and so she feels compelled to ask him stuff
quite often. So she suggested we discuss distribution changes with him because
she's a Windows girl and knows HTML, not Linux (as I said)...  Well, I wasn't
going to--the guy's a grad student and a little bit too clingy (That P75 was
his home machine)...but I like him and figured I might as well mail him since
I was sure my co-admin was doing so.

He wrote me back this rambling rah-rah-redhat e-mail saying that A) He had never
heard of Debian, B) He'd not be able to help us and C) switching to Debian would
increase our maintanence time by 5-10 hrs a week.  

I kinda laughed, was annoyed, laughed some more, was annoyed, laughed some more,
discussed what I was going to say with the BF just to make sure I wasn't 
misrepresenting
things, and e-mailed him back saying that he was full of shit.

He very soon afterwards e-mailed me back saying "THIS LOOKS LIKE A GREAT 
DECISION
ON YOUR PART, ERIN."  Tail between his legs...

5-10 hrs a week I'm still giggling.

glibc dependencies problem

[Pascal Hos]

Hi,

I tried installing the kde2 packages from the woody tree into my
potato distribution and it seems to have upgraded the glibc. The 
install was faulty otherwise too. Some of the packages couldn't
be configures due to independencies (not sure what failed anymore).
Now I'm trying to get my system back to where it was before but
that seems to be a problem. First of all ldconfig has disappeared
but apt-get tells me that package ldso is installed. Next whenever
I try to do anything with apt-get it now gives me the dependency 
problems for glibc versions.
Here is an output of the program:

mems159:/home/paashaas# apt-get install ldso
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Sorry, ldso is already the newest version
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  abbrowser: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.93) but 2.1.3-10 is to be installed
  amor: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.93) but 2.1.3-10 is to be installed
  ..
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages 
(or specify a solution).

I'm not quite sure where to go from here. I someone has a suggestion.

Thanks,

Pascal Hos

Re: Onboard NIC problem

[Peter Wilke]

Hi Matt,

try the EtherExpress100 driver. You can compile this code directly into
the kernel or load it as a module. The module name is eepro100.o. 
If you NIC won't be found after that, specify the appropriate parameters
for irq and io. You should have a diskette whith a little DOS-Program on
it. With this program you can find out the vaklues that are stored onto
the card itself. 
Hope, it helps!

Re: Onboard NIC problem

[Jeff Green]

Intel 8255x network cards are better known as Ether Express Pro, to get
multiple processors you need to use a multiple processor kernel and if
you think Linux flies on one processor watch it on 2!!
On the bios on that motherboard you can have 32 irqs, which makes it
much easier if you have oodles of devices.

Samba problems

[Alec Smith]

I'm noticing that if I copy some files from Windows NT onto my Samba
server I end up with the wrong permissions. Instead of files being owned
by alec.mp3 as I'd like, they appear to be owned by root.mp3.

  97153 drwxr-sr-x2 alec mp3  4.0k Oct  3 13:28 ./
  32385 drwxr-sr-x3 alec alec 4.0k Oct  3 13:25 ../
  97157 -rwxrw-r--1 root mp3  4.6M Jul  9 05:14 [Barry
Sadler] - Ballad of the Green Berets.mp3*
  97154 -rwxrw-r--1 root mp3  2.7M Jul  9 04:54
oldies.shelly fabres-johnny angel.mp3*

Although I used the MP3 share to copy these files, the same effect is
seen when copying a file into home directories (root.correct group
name) using the homes share. How can I go about getting Samba to place the
correct ownerships on files? My smb.conf is included below. The server is
running Potato and Samba 2.0.7 (from the .deb).

Thanks,
Alec

I just had this problem, it's a pain but you don't have to rebuild your entire

you've got part of the answer.

what if you also want the mailboxes displayed in date order?

there may be another way, but here's how i did it:

% alias m 'mutt -y -e "push Od"'

then to read my mutt email i just enter

bind and address rewriting

[Thomas Voss]

Hello Phil,

 PB> > the UDP packet is masqueraded
 PB> > correctly and triggers the PPP dial-out to my ISP. But
 PB> > finally, the UDP packet gets dropped out there because no
 PB> > address rewriting is done for UDP packets

 PB> If no address rewriting is done you need to check your ipchains

Hm, AFAIK there is only address rewriting for TCP packets with SYN set, or
am I wrong here? Address rewriting works perfectly with my configuration
for TCP packets with SYN bit set (see below).

 PB> Can you post them here?

Hm, there is nothing very critical about them, so I can do that. I hope
nobody minds this lengthly posting.

'localnet' is my local network which host 'gateway' connects to the
internet. 'nameserver' is the nameserver of my ISP.
'100.100.100.1' is the actual dynamic IP address of the ippp interface
(the firewall rules are updated to match the actual dynamic addresses each
time the link comes up with an ip-up script).

Those chains "Cx" which the build-in chains branch to are for accepting
selected TCP and ICMP packets from localnet to gateway, and from the
internet to gateway, resp. (Simple packet forwarding using kernel IP
masquerading is only done for those UDP connections with 'nameserver'.)

Here is some debug output.

181.119.93.94 is the nameserver of my ISP.
10.20.30.* is my local net.


This is a dialup triggered by a TCP packet. One can see that address
rewriting works:

Later, a forwarding request from bind from the internal network triggers
the next dialout, but no address rewriting takes place. In particular, it
seems that the UDP packet has successfully made its way across ippp0,
since there is no more log entry (all UDP packets would have been logged
in this configuration):

Fax (hylafax)

[Pedro Quaresma de Almeida]

Hi

I am trying to use the hylafax (tkhylafax) program to send a fax but,
whenever I try to send the fax (or the other comands faxstat, ...) it
ask me for a password, and I do nor know what to do, I have already
tried my own password, the root password, ...

Can you help me? Tank you.

Confused on iptables and ftp..yes still...

[William Jensen]

My iptable rule:

$IPT -A INPUT -p tcp ! --syn --source-port 20 --destination-port 1024:65535 -j 
ACCEPT

I read this as any packed that is not a --syn type from source 20 on the ftp
server i'm hooking up to, destined to my pc port 1024:65535 jumps to ACCEPT

here's a snip of my log files:

Oct  3 14:32:44 stimpy kernel: Firewall:IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:10:5a:15:35:f1:00:30
:71:78:24:00:08:00 SRC=209.10.41.242 DST=24.216.244.106 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x0
0 TTL=54 ID=29441 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=20 DPT=32778 WINDOW=32120 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0

And that's telling me that it's coming from port 20, it's tcp, and it's headed
to my port 32778, which should jump to ACCEPT!  I simply cannot understand why
the firewall is dropping those packets.  Allan was nice enough to point me to
a web site talking about firewalls and ftp and I 'thought' I had the right 
stuff being let thru.

Here's a twist...the exact same firewall rules were successfull when I was
runnin woody, but now that I'm on a standard potato with 'iptables' added
separately it's not working.

Any ideas?

Frustrated,

Bill

Thanks for your response. Maybe I do not understand properly. I
understood that the 'Debian way' of doing permission things was by
adding users to groups. For example, if a user wants to do ppp, she
should be member of 'dip'.
If I look at /dev/video0, I get:

  crw-rw1 root video 81,   0 Oct  3 17:19 /dev/video0

So I assume my membership of group 'video' should work.
Also, if I start xawtv when logged in as root, the problems are
identical.

Not sure how to proceed...

pty for Linux

[Paul D. Smith]

Has anyone had a go at porting Dan Bernstein's "pty" program to Linux?
The latest I found was Oct 1990, in the comp.unix.sources archives, and
it's pretty out-of-date.  There were a _LOT_ of configuration options,
and it wasn't at all clear to me how best to handle them for a Debian
installation.

I know I could use expect to get somewhat similar behavior, but I'd
prefer to use pty if possible as it's simpler and lighter-weight (as far
as I can tell).

Anyone ported pty to Linux, or thinking of packaging it for Debian?

Re: partitions and lilo

[Jaye Inabnit ke6sls]

Hello,

In response to a large number of replies, I'll send this via the deb-user
list instead.

Below are links to great reading and WHY I wasn't able to do what
I originally tried. I did install 5 OS's tho, and left room for 2 more.

I did run into the 1024 cylinder problem - anoying to say the least. So
during instals, I used fdisk (from red hat 6.2) and made the following:

hda1 - fat32 (fdisk type c) win98se installed 1500mb
hda5 - "the EXTENDED partition" = boot for hda1240mb
hda6 - boot for hda1340mb
hda7 - boot for hda1440mb
hda8 - boot for hda1540mb
hda9 - boot for hda1640mb
hda10 - boot for hda17  40mb
hda11 - swap file for all my linux installs  64mb
hda12 - root for first linux ext2  2048mb
hda13 - root for second linux ext22048mb
hda14 - root for third linux ext2 2048mb
hda15 - root for forth linux ext2 2048mb

On my forth and last linux install, I asked for lilo to be installed onto the
mbr. This was fully sucessful, and all I had to do was edit that lilo.conf and
add the other 3 linux images. All boot wonderfully, as well as win98se. So I
have my five OS's all booting via the mbr and all boot sectors are before
1024 on this 20GB hard drive. I still have room for 2 more OS's (hda9 & hda10).

I'm not sure if I could of done this more effectively. Perhaps used a common
BOOT partition for all my distro's. But this does work and will allow for 
tweaking each as class progresses. Now if only X was as easy to configure!

IHTH

Thanks to all for the help, best regards

Part of the problem is that you're treating iptables like ipchains as if
they are the same; they are totally different packet filtering/mangling
mechanisms.

I see you're not using the super nifty connection tracking capabilities of
iptables.  Perhaps it'll help to see a working configuration:

$IPT -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $OUTSIDE_IFACE -j MASQUERADE
$IPT -P FORWARD ACCEPT
$IPT -A INPUT -s localnet/24 -j ACCEPT
   
$IPT -A INPUT -s localhost -j ACCEPT
$IPT -P INPUT DROP
$IPT -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

This is all you effectively need for a firewall that does internet
connection sharing.  These lines will block all new and invalid incoming
connections, but allow through services that need to connect to a port on
your computer, like IRC, web and FTP.

I use startx to bring up X and like you wondered whether a dpi setting
in XF86Config is possible.  The man page for XF86Config does not appear
to have anything relevant but man startx mentions an xserverrc file.

So after creating .xserverrc I put in it the line:

exec X :0  -dpi 100

This worked for me so maybe it will also be of use when starting X via
gdm.

ISP modem connection

[romeu]

Hi,
I'm sorry the long mail, but I would have no way of describing my problem
without it.

I'm trying to connect to my ISP, using my Lucent Venus Voice Modem, since
august, 2000.
I made these things:
-  ISA PnP issues, with pnpdump --> isapnp.conf
- setserial /dev/ttyS1 - the port whas detected as 16550A.

Well, now I have access to the modem. So I used pppconfig to set the chat
scripts.
But the connection with my ISP is not going on. The modem dials, makes the
modem noise, but I think there's no handshake with my ISP. I tried PAP,
CHAP (even  Chat, but my ISP is windows based).

So I tought: the modem is not yet configured. I'll try to do it with AT
commands. This is my modem log under windows:

So I tried this, with my /etc/chatscripts/provider  :

# This chatfile was generated by pppconfig 2.0.5.

This is my pap-secrets file:

#

# This is a pap-secrets file to be used with the AUTO_PPP function of

I think I'm doing the same steps I use under windows, but nothing works.
When I type plog, the only information I have is that the chat script

2.4.0-test kernels?

[Damian Menscher]

Can anyone provide some info on how to get working with a 2.4 kernel?  
I need to switch so I can get my scsi card working with raid support.  
Other than the kernel, I'd prefer to have everything as stable as
possible.

So far I've learned that I need to get an updated modutils, but that
causes all sorts of grief since the one in Woody depends on libc6,
etc.  And I've been unable (so far) to find any source .deb's.

BTW: what's up with #debian being an invite-only channel?

>Can anyone provide some info on how to get working with a 2.4 kernel?  

About a month ago I started running 2.4-testX on an otherwise potato
system.  I had to upgrade modutils, nfs-common, and nfs-kernel-server
to make things work.  If you aren't running kernel nfs, then you
probably will only need modutils.  Fortunately I still had the .deb's
on the machine, so you can download them at
http://ibgwww.colorado.edu/~lessem/2.4/

They are dated 26 Aug 2000, so they aren't the latest, but they did
dpkg -i right onto an otherwise potato system.

really, eh.  I had a ZX81 in '78 (stock with 2k of RAM, IIRC), the 'net
was around (if you were at a university) but there was no WWW - it must
have been a ZX81 that made it through to the early-mid 80's without an

All you need to worry about is modutils, and maybe updating the NFS stuff
if you're going to use the kernel NFS server.  I didn't need to update.  
TMMW.

Keep in mind that the 2.4.0-testx kernels have been crash-prone recently,
although 2.4.0-test9 (what I'm using now) seems to be pretty solid and
makes 2.2.x look slow as molasses going uphill (I'm exaggerating, but you
get the idea).

Re: partitions and lilo

[csj]

Now how did you manage to install FOUR different distros? I tried installing
two (Mandrake + Storm, a debian derivative). While I was able to run stuff like
Gnome (practically the whole bunch I guess), I ran into module loading problems.
My Storm installation kept looking for the Mandrake modules.

How did you keep the different distros from stepping on each other's
filesystems?

Neat.

I also have a mutt-related question:

If I leave a mailbox having new mails, they become _O_ld. I don't
like this.  Can this be changed so that mails stay _N_ew even when I
leave a mailbox and return to it later?

The problem is the windows system not found the printers!

Well, not a solution, but try to add "kdebug 1" to your ppp options
file. I'm experiencing a similar situation, but had no time to
continue work on it. In my case, it seems that my configuration is
rejecting pap authentication, but I couldn't see why. Maybe such a log
might help somebody else on this list to find the solution.

Re: Samba problems

[Alec Smith]

Your Samba machine does have a [Printers] share, right? If that share is
there, I'm not sure what's wrong. I'm by no means a Samba god... :(
