Gnome problem
hello, I currently have a small minor problem with gnome: when I execute gnome-control-center and that I go in screensaver the screen gele freeze.

Quick way to tell if online for use in cron script?
Hi debian-users, I wanted to run 'ntpdate' periodically via a cron script. However, I would prefer if the script would only run ntpdate if I am online (my dialup account), in order to avoid filling up my logs with 'can't find xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' messages. Is there something in /proc or a simple command that I could use to tell whether I'm dialed up? Currently I am simply running 'ifconfig ppp0' to see if I'm online, but that seems a little inelegant to me. This is the line I'm using currently: 39 * * * * nobody /sbin/ifconfig ppp0 && /etc/init.d/ntpdate start Thanks, =wl -- Albert ``Willy'' Lee, Emacs user, game programmer "They call me CRAZY - just because I DARE to DREAM of a RACE of SUPERHUMAN MONSTERS!"

The lone advantage here is that if there are problems with the script, as it comes from a single, known, source, it can be checked, and reported, if there are any problems. There's an aptness to the use of a penguin as the GNU/Linux mascot, regarding how penguins enter the water. They crowd the edge of a floe and jostle.

Given that you're trying to see if you can access xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx how about using ping? That will protect you in the case you're dialed up but the ntp server is unreachable for some reason, too.

mgetty problem: calling behind an office telephone station
Hello, Please tell me if somebody knows how to make sendfax working from behind the office telephone station. The problem is that in order to place a call I have to dial "*0" and my pin code first. Only after that the dial tone shows up. Instead, sendfax quits with "NO DIAL TONE" complain. I did try to set up the dial-prefix in the /etc/mgetty/sendfax.conf, but this made the sendfax hung without bothering the modem (no modem sounds or lamps were on) I have a similar problem when calling my ISP from home (there I have to place "0" before the number to get the dial tone). I would also appreciate if any of you know the solution for Windows 98 (sorry :)), since by far I have no Internet access from home in any way due to this stupid problem thanks in advance -- Peter O. Fedichev (Ph.D.) ITP, Innsbruck

If so, then this is one of the few times in linux when a reboot is required.

ncr53c8xx and wd 8013 NIC problem
Hello I have a problem with my ncr53c810 card (Asus SC200) and a SMC Elite 16 T network card (WD 8013). My machine runs under Debian Linux 2.2 and it uses the ncr53c8xx driver which is compiled into the kernel. When the NCR-bios of the motherboard is turned on the NIC is not working although the wd.o module is loaded correctly and the eth0 interface is up. When I turn the SDMS-bios support off everything works fine. At the moment I'm booting from floppy and I can mount the SCSI partitions but I can't boot from SCSI. So how to solve the SDMS-bios problem? Is it possible that the bios is interfering with the memory of my NICs? My NICs are on: eth0: irq=10, io=0x300, mem=0xCC000 eth1: irq=3, io=0x280, mem=0xD My ncr53c810 is on irq=11, io=0xe400 My machine: Debian 2.2 kernel 2.2.17, vanilla kernel, ncr53c8xx driver compiled into kernel.

ifconfig & route
Hi. Why ifconfig adds route in localnet when I use it to bring up my eth0 interface? Shouldn't that be done with route command after using ifconfig? That is what is said in networking howto and in a Debian book I have. I read manual pages for ifconfig, and there weren't a word about this feature. Neither did I found option for switching this feature off. I have to say that this doesn't cause any problems for me, I'm just curious. regards, Petteri Heinonen email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel.: +358 (0)50 3363 286 addr.: Pehkusuonkatu 21 B 38 33820 Tampere, FIN

inetd startup warns portmapper not running?
Hi, My potato system has started warning that portmapper isn't running during the execution of /etc/init.d/inetd at boot. I've checked that portmap is indeed running and I've even manually executed the logic that leads to this message. After boot it doesn't match the failing condition (rpcinfo returning non-zero). The RPC services are working. I can talk between virtual consoles. All I've done recently is install security updates and packages from the official CD-ROMS (2.2 r0). Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening? TIA, Neil Darlow.
Linuxconfig opinions
A question for all Linux gurus out there: I have encountered a program called 'linuxconfig' which, on the face of it, appears to be a useful system tool. It is a curses- based program, that knows where all the various debian system files are, and allows root to modify users, groups, networking configuration and so on. Just as a simple example, if you want to add a bunch of users to a group, you could use linuxconfig to look at the group, and type in the names of the users you want to add (yes, I know, not much saving there - it was just an example). The program will also tell you of permissions that are incorrectly set, and let you put them back how they should be. This of course hides information from the user about where the real files are that you are changing, which I guess a purist would despise. Other than that, is linuxconfig a 'good thing', or does it have security problems associated with it that one ought to know about? -- Best regards, Peter Hugosson-Miller "Quidquid Latine dictum sit, altum viditur."

If you're talking about linuxconf, we know about it. Most more experienced admins frown on such tools -- it's an additional layer of cruft between you and what you want to do. It's a new tool to learn, which may or may not be different on other systems. It may introduce new security vulnerabilities on a system. It may automate the process of scrambling your system state beyond recovery (a problem I had with some early versions of Linuxconf). I've used Unix systems since 1987, GNU/Linux since 1997, and Debian for just over a year. I learned more in the first two months of running Debian -- because I was both admin of the box and *didn't* have a bunch of "friendly" tools getting in my way, than I did in the previous ten years of using and running Unix. There are a number of GNU/Linux-based configuration tools, including a graphica RPM administrator from Red Hat, YAST from SuSER, tools from Mandrake and TurboLinux, Corel, etc. Linuxconf is at least distribution-neutral, but I've never had to go there. There are a couple of tools which can be helpful -- printtol and pppconfig are two I swear by. But in general, you're better off getting comfortable with the guts of config files and how they work.

Samba across internet
Hello, I think I may have something v. badly set up with Samba I ntice that in the logs there are a number of connections from machines with internet ip addresses (ie not local). They are all from the same isp as my dial up connection (judging from the ip addresses anyway). I'm guessing that I have Samab bound to both eth0 (where I want it on my local network) and also ppp0 (where I don't want it). If this is so, what do I need to change. As far as I can tell no one has actually been able to gain access to anything except the cd-rom drive and the printer (nothing has been printed though).

Problems with locales
Hi ! I am using a Potato system and I have got some problems with the locales : I would like to enable the french locale so that programs are displayed in french, but I cannot. I have installed the locale package and tried to set the environment variable LANG to the value "fr" in /etc/profile or in /etc/X11/xinitrc but when I start a gnome session, this variable is set to "C". Is there a solution ? Ben, a rather new Debian user.
adaptec 1505 / potato
I'm trying to configure an adaptec AVA1505 adaptec ISA SCSI card on a potato system. 1) default aha152x.o module included with 2.2.17-ide deb was generating unresolved symbols 2) after kernel compilation I've no more errors but a resource busy message. For the moment IRQ and IO adresses configured for the module are consistent with the jumpers on the board. /proc/interrupts doesn't report IRQ 11 as used and /proc/ioports doesn't report Ox340 as used. Maybe the solution is within bios setup but I dont'understand anything to PnP or IRQ managing within the bios setup. Any clue ?

gpm-configuration for use of ps2-mouse with X-Windows
Dear community, because of the mouse doesn't work after starting X-Windows by startx, I tried to reconfigure the repeater-function of gpm. So I've got after starting gpmconfig: Current configuration: -m /dev/psaux -t ps2 -Rms3 Do you want to change anything: y Where is your mouse [/dev/psaux]? What type is your mouse [ps2]? Set the responsiveness [ ]? 15 *CHANGE* Repeat protocol [ms3]? msc *CHANGE* Do you want to add additional arguments [ ]? Do you want to test this configuration? y gpm -m /dev/psaux -t ps2 -r 15 -Rmsc ...so gpm works correctly at the console at the test ...but if I starting X-Windows again, the mouse doesn't still work! Of course there is a possibility to stop the gpm manually by: /etc/init.d/gpm stop ...but I'd like to get an automatism in X-Windows<-> gpm according the use of mouse. Do you have an idea, what I've made wrong or what's here uncomplete? Thanks Christoph Walther mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I had the exact same symptom once, and the reason in my case was that there was another mouse manager installed already (sorry I don't know exactly, maybe part of xdm?). My fix was just to remove gpm, run XF86Setup again, and then the mouse ran fine after that. Of course, then the mouse doesn't work in the console window any more, which is maybe what you intended. If that's what you need, I'm afraid I don't know how to fix it (I can live without the mouse in the console). -- Best regards, Peter Hugosson-Miller "" begin:vcard n:Hugosson-Miller;Peter tel;fax:+468 676 5010 tel;home:+468 756 93 58 tel;work:+468 676 52 70 x-mozilla-html:TRUE org:http://www.im.se";>http://www.nasdaq.com/logos/IMIC.GIF ALT="Industri-Matematik International"> version:2.1 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Software Development Specialist note:Private mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Personal Homepage: http://www.netg.se/~hugge/ adr;quoted-printable:;;Kungsgatan 12-14=0D=0ABox 7733;103 95 Stockholm;;;Sweden x-mozilla-cpt:;19328 fn:Peter Hugosson-Miller end:vcard

Dead keys not working in kword+X4.0.1
Hi! I don't know if this should be submited here or in the X or KDE lists. Anyway, here goes... I'm trying to keep my machine up to date with woody and the first time I installed kde I was very happy because I could write dead keys like "ã" (atilde) or "á" (aacute) directly. After another update, and every time since then, the dead keys never worked again, although they work in other KDE apps like konsole. I hoped that X 4.0.1 would help with this quetion but it didn't. Is this a bug in KWord? Should this be sent directly to the KDE folks or is this a problem in my X configuration? TIA, Fernando

boot-floppies: how do I go about making my own version
I am interested in creating my own boot-floppies Primarily so i can change some of the text messages and change some of the menu options. Ideally I would like to create a single boot floppie that would be expressly used to do network install. In particular I would like to have a kernel which has a fairly wide choice of NIC support compiled into it. One of the first options the user should be presented with is network configuration. Afterwhich more files needed for the install could be retrived from an ftp server... Any ideas? Has anyone done something like this already? I would love to see some examples... I have done apt-get source boot-floppies -walter I also posted a query on the debian-boot mail list.

Question and goodbye...
Hi... Just to ask you a question: is there a way to specify which users may start the X window system? The Xserver file in /etc/X11 allows you to limit the access to X only to users on the Console, but is there a way of doing this on a user base? I still want my users to be able to use the X clients with a server on other machine.. I just want to limit the access to X11R6 on my machine... Just another thing... I'm unsubscribing debian-user.. The traffic is too much for me to be able to read any of it... I'm thinking of subscribing the digest version of the list.. Is it any good??? Thanks...

Re: signing gpg key with old key ...

In short, my question is Can I use the XFree86 4.0.1 debian package from Woody to upgrade X on my (pure) Potato K6 system with an 8 MB SiS 6326 video card? My interest is support for accelleration. My system -- runs Potato (from a Dec 30 1999 snapshot CD). My hardware is a Tiger System with an AMD K6-2 350MHz processor on a 100 MHz motherboard, and 128 MB Ram. My video card is an SiS 6326. I am still using the XFree86 3.3 server only works with the accelleration features of this card turned off. XFree86 web site says that XFree86 4.0 with their sis driver supports this card's accelleration features. The question, again: Can I use the XFree86 4.0.1 debian package from Woody to upgrade X on my Potato K6 system and get support for the accelleration provided by the SiS 6326 card?

How do 3D cards work under Linux (Debian)
Hi all, I'm no rookie to Linux, but, I'm missing something on how 3D really works in Linux. I've been able to get 3D working but don't really understand what's going on. When I say 3D, I'm speaking of 3D video-hardware acceleration under Linux! If someone could present me with a step-by-step tutorial/walkthrough of what's going on, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'd like to see it geared towards Debian (which debs to grab) and possibly my hardware (Celeron 300, 3dfx voodoo banshee). Something in line with a textbook or HOW-TO is what I'd like to see the info in. Of course, since you're not being paid, any info will be appreciated. Thanks. Scott

That changed with 2.2 kernels. With 2.0 kernels you needed to manually
add the route to attached networks.

Soundblaster PCI 128
The last days I've read some messages that I should use the es1370 or es1371 driver for that card. lsmod identified my card as es1371 so I've loaded this driver as module. But although my card seems to be found by the kernel, there is nothing in /dev/sndstat. Did i forget something to do? I also have no idea, which drivers are needed too, to get my soundcard working (sound, soundcore, soundlow, ...) part of dmesg: es1371: version v0.22 time 12:12:16 May 13 2000 es1371: found chip, vendor id 0x1274 device id 0x1371 revision 0x08 es1371: found es1371 rev 8 at io 0xe800 irq 5 es1371: features: joystick 0x0 es1371: codec vendor CRY (0x435259) revision 19 (0x13) es1371: codec features Headphone out 20bit DAC 18bit ADC es1371: stereo enhancement: Crystal Semiconductor 3D Stereo Enhancement cat /dev/sndstat: OSS/Free:3.8s2++-971130 Load type: Driver loaded as a module Kernel: Linux darkstar 2.2.15 #1 Sat May 13 10:22:03 EST 2000 i586 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Card config: Audio devices: Synth devices: Midi devices: Timers: 0: System clock Mixers: lsmod: Module Size Used by nls_cp437 3744 1 (autoclean) vfat9008 1 (autoclean) af_packet 6072 1 (autoclean) slip7388 2 (autoclean) slhc4436 1 (autoclean) [slip] parport_probe 3332 0 (autoclean) parport_pc 7172 1 (autoclean) lp 5156 0 (autoclean) parport 7288 1 (autoclean) [parport_probe parport_pc lp] nls_iso8859-1 2268 2 (autoclean) serial 19724 0 (autoclean) sound 57592 0 (unused) soundlow 416 0 [sound] es1371 25312 0 soundcore 2628 7 [sound es1371] unix 10148 19 (autoclean) It would be great if someone can help me.

i believe you ... and yet--
you think YOU've got it bad? i'm using MAC netscape, and boy is
it ever screwy! i couldn't count how many times every day i get
text in my scrollbar, overlapping graphics, munged table
layouts... (but consider the alternative!)
and usually when i notify a webmaster that they could take a bit
of time and cater to all browsers by cleaning up their code, if
i'm lucky i get a form response; usually i get silence.
one webmaster actually wrote to say "you're the only one using
mac netscape according to our logs, so we're gonna leave it as
is." there, the display had six popup menus across the top
frame, which on my netscape required 1200+ pixels to display,
since netscape ignored the font specs...!
aaugh!
anyhow--
if you can 'screen-capture' the problem and email it to them
directly, they'd have a better chance at understanding the
situation... (no, i don't know them, and they don't know me.)
sorry to not be more helpful! sure hope you get past the
hurdle...
you might try gzilla or some of the others available, see what
works best. ("apt-cache showpkg www-browser | more" to get a
list if you don't know what options there are...)

Re: adaptec 1505 / potato
Since the AVA1505 does not have an on-board bios, you have to tell the module where it's at. Give the options at load time with "modprobe -a aha152x aha152x=0x340,11,7"(ioport,irq,scsihostid) or using modconf, give the options where prompted. Put an append statement in lilo when you've figured it out. You are using this card just for a scanner, right?

Re: Soundblaster PCI 128
Did you check your /dev's? You will need /dev/dsp for being able to hear sound. Maybe the user you are logged in as has no permission to access the sound devives. By default, these devices are accessible by the group "audio" (you can check if this is true with "ls -l /dev/ | grep audio").

Problem using gprof
Hello, I am trying to profile an app I am writing using gprof. The app uses the Gnome/GTK+ libs as well as the pthreads lib. I have attached a section of the output - it doesn't seem correct. A simple initialisation function is reported to take 50% of the time whereas a complex function that is called over a 1000 times is reported to take 0% of the time. Is this because of the threading?

Petition for help: console pdf viewing
Hi, As I stated to this list before, I'm experiencing some problems viewing .pdf files in console mode. I'm trying to do this with fbi (in it's man page is stated this is possible through the help of convert). Unfortunately, this doesn't work. So my question is: could someone try to view a pdf file in console mode, and send me, if succesfull, his/her configuration for fbi and convert (version number, ...)

Re: New to debian, q about pkgs "on hold"
Most likely the packages in questions have dependencies which did not previously exist. 'apt-get upgrade' will not install them, but if you instead use 'apt-get dist-upgrade' you will get the held packages plus any required dependencies (assuming that the dependencies are available).

There are some pdfto... utilities which can be used to extract text from PDFs, if that suites your needs. In some cases, text locking restricts direct ability to extract text, you may have to go through an intermediate ps2txt stage. PDF files consisting of image pages won't, naturally, be viewable. Other option is to dump to printer. Not sure if this is directly possible through acroread or xpdf, though a pdftops filter should allow this. -- Karsten M.

So the size of about 0.6MB is valid. I was just wondering because the 2.0.38 kernel I recently compiled was not much smaller (~0.5MB), but contained raid features. Here's what I did: make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install which differs from what you suggested by not using "make oldconfig". Why should I have done this since I didn't alter anything and all settings are in ../.config from the previous "make xconfig"? Anyhow I copied system.map and bzImage as "vmlinuz" into /boot and changed the old system.map and kernel into bak files. Then edited lilo.conf and executed lilo. Something must have gone wrong because the system now complains about "unresoloved symboles" after the phrase " calculating module dependancies". Unfortunatly these unresolved errors are not stored into any /var/log file so I cannot attach them to this mail. What do I have to change to get these reports into a file? Is the syslogd responseble for this? The only thing I can provide is part of /var/log/messages and the ls -l listing in the attached file named "files_in_boot". To make the day perfect, lilo refuses to accept any key (the old kernel is supposed to be booted with alias 2) and boots by default the new kernel remarking alias 1 Lilo.conf is aswell attached to this mail.

Now, I want to merge the two file so that page 1-80 is the first file, 80-100 is the second file and page 100-120 is the last 20 pages of the original first file. Could someone give me some hints?

I know this is a little risky, so you probably should take the system down to single-user first, but this usually works: rm /lib/modules/`uname -r` -rf make modules_install If you are being save, then use mv /lib/modules/`uname -r` /lib/modules/`uname -r`.bak make modules_install The unresolved symbols are in all the modules for which the kernel no longer contains support. The error messages are given by the command "depmod -a", which Debian automagically runs at boot, JIC. You don't actually need them, and they cannot be loaded. They will not prevent the viable modules from loading correctly, so you could just ignore the error messages. >Unfortunatly these unresolved errors are not stored into any /var/log >file so I cannot attach them to this mail.

You do not have a prompt line in your lilo.conf, so you will have to be holding down shift when the word LILO appears on the screen at boot, to get the prompt to appear. When the prompt comes up, hit TAB. What do you see? >This really beates me down. > > > >Robert

In short, my question is Can I use the XFree86 4.0.1 debian package from Woody to upgrade X on my (pure) Potato K6 system with an 8 MB SiS 6326 video card? My interest is support for accelleration. My system -- runs Potato (from a Dec 30 1999 snapshot CD). My hardware is a Tiger System with an AMD K6-2 350MHz processor on a 100 MHz motherboard, and 128 MB Ram. My video card is an SiS 6326. I am still using the XFree86 3.3 server only works with the accelleration features of this card turned off. XFree86 web site says that XFree86 4.0 with their sis driver supports this card's accelleration features. The question, again: Can I use the XFree86 4.0.1 debian package from Woody to upgrade X on my Potato K6 system and get support for the accelleration provided by the SiS 6326 card? Or am I asking for trouble by installing a Woody package on an otherwise pure Potato system? --David David Teague, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux Because software support is free, timely, useful, technically accurate, and friendly.
