re: downloading the GNU/LINUX Operating System.

2001-02-06 Thread upward





Greetings!
 
I am interested in the above system. However, there 
are few hurdles I need to get over to download it. If someone could help me with 
the following questions that would be terrific...
 
To provide some context, I have no programming 
experience (have just started learning HTML) and really don't know much about 
the technical side of things. That being said I have a Toshiba Satellite 
(laptop) and am keen to to get a greater understanding of the above operating 
system. (I have done a enough surfing to realise that my Windows 98 system is 
simply not good enough in terms of security and efficiency, compared to UNIX 
based systems.)
 
I am also intending on studying to become a 
Webmaster over the next couple of years. This has been a prime motivator to get 
greater understanding about UNIX type operating systems.Enough context, 
now the questions:
 
1. Can I still run the Windows 98 with the 
GNU/LINUX  operating system?
 
2. Are there any tutorials that you can recommend 
that relate to the above system?
 
3. Where and how do I download the 
GNU/LINUX operating system?
 
I look forward to your feedback.
 
Regards

  yes, you can dual boot - partition the system so that you have at
least one windows partition, one swap (generally twice as large as
amount of RAM) and at least one another (for linux itself)

> 2. Are there any tutorials that you can recommend that relate to the

  there are quite a few laptop how-tos on the net, just search google
for linux laptoptoshiba satellite... lot of them use other distros as
examples but you can load any other distro, you'll just have to read
which drivers and what settings they used. lot of toshiba satelites un
linux. start with www.linuxdoc.org is you can't find anything with
google.

  go to www.debian.org, you can download the system there.

2.4 kernel

2001-02-06 Thread Renai


Hi,

a quick question. I have Woody, and I want to install the 2.4 kernel. 
I'm familiar with the kernel building procedure, but are there any 
Debian localisations that I should be careful of/use when I'm installing 
the new kernel?


thanks in advance,

Renai

iptables and MSN zone

2001-02-06 Thread Nicole Zimmerman

I have set up a NAT/firewall box running debian testing/unstable (a mix)
and kernel 2.4.0. I am using the firewall.sh script from
firewall.nerdherd.net (iptables-firewall-0.99).

So far everything works well. I think the script should have mentioned or
included `echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward`, which tripped us up
for a while, but that's a separate issue :o)

We have found one problem: playing Asheron's Call from a windows box
inside the firewall. We did a lot of digging on the net and found some
information about loose UDP communication and fixes for 2.2.x kernels for
these services. I can't find anything on 2.4 kernels, though.

I have tried a few things, but I do not think I know enough about
iptables to really get it working for sure. I think this loose UDP thing
could be a factor, but I don't know enough about kernel 2.4 to know.

1) does anyone have success stories about Asheron's Call with 2.4 in a
similar configuration? What was the solution?

2) is there any iptables-based advantage to switching to 2.4.1?

3) is there any (dis) advantage to switching *back* to 2.2.x where known
fixes exist?

I swear I saw a fix for this somewhere on a mailing list very recently but
I can't find it.

Re: Potato with helixgnome

2001-02-06 Thread christophe barbe

It's safe. If you want only a part don't select task-*.deb packages (there are 
only meta-package).
Add wimian in your source.list, do apt-get update and then do not do apt-get 
install task-helix.
Then you can simply upgrade what you want without downloading the last version 
of gnumeric, ...

Re: Apt with cd-rom and ftp

2001-02-06 Thread christophe barbe

That right you should put the cdrom lines at the beginning of your source.list.
In my sense, this is a bug. When you install a system, you insert all discs to 
generate the list of available packages and in the same time they are added in 
the source.list but after the commented ftp sources. So when the fresh debian 
user (like me) uncomment the ftp source lines and then all packages are 
downloaded from internet. When you use a 56k line, it's a problem (so you 
certainly dicover the problem).

!!! The cdrom lines should be added at the beginning during the installation 
process.

Hi,

depending on what exactly you want to do, it might help to set the
input record separator ($/) to something other than the default "\n".
If you set it to "\n\n" for example, the input "lines" you get will
be broken up at double-newlines...

#!/usr/bin/perl

$/="\n\n";  # set input record separator

while (<>) {
# every line ($_) will inlcude everything up to and including
# the "\n\n", so you can match against it (if still needed...)
if (/\n\n/) {
print "yup\n";
}
}

The input record separator can be any string, but it's _not_ interpreted
as a regular expression. If you need that, you can read the whole file
into a string in one go (if it fits into memory), and then do any kind
of processing on it, e.g. split() or repeated regex matching

#!/usr/bin/perl

$/=undef;   # 'undef' causes whole file to be read in 

$s = <>;# file now in $s

while ($s =~ /\n\n/g) {   # do some repeated matching
print "yup\n";
}

The advantage of the latter approach is that you can craft your
regex to do any kind of sophisticated matching, independently of some
concept of line termination...

BTW, if you don't want the modification of the input record separator
to apply globally for the script, you can use "local $/ =..." instead,
in soubroutines, for example ("my" doesn't work here).

Cheers,
Erdmut

Without having ever seen or used Opera, I suspect that you probably
*will* be able to block the adds with junkbuster. As it sits as a proxy
between the browser and the internet (from where I am, unless it fetches
it's adds through the proxy, it wont be able to get them anyway), as
long as it's fetching the adds from a predictable server (you can check
this by tailing the /var/log/junkbuster.log file), there is no reason it
wouldn't be able to block them.

Of course, if Opera uses http 1.1 to fetch the ads, it could be a
problem, as junkbuster has a problem with that.

Anyway, someone try it and report back to the group (that's you're
homework for tonight, if you're reading this and have Opera and
Junkbuster!)

vim and TERM=linux problem

2001-02-06 Thread Bostjan Muller

Hi!

I have a weird problem with vim under debian. Whenever I start vim in the
console my cursor dissapears, this only happens if the TERM variable is set to
linux (xterm and xterm-color and ansi work ok for vim). Is there a way to make
vim work with TERM=linux variable? Couse if I set any other variable some other
programs display things weird. And the only way to get the cursor back in vim
is to write reset on the bash prompt.


THX in advance!

Upgrade to g++ 2.95.3 in testing

2001-02-06 Thread Enrico Zini

Hello!

I upgraded to gcc and g++ 2.95.3 in my testing system and I cannot compile
c++ anymore.  The problem is it can't find libstdc++.
This also made autoconf configure scripts stop to run stating that the
"c++ compiler cannot create executables".
I solved removing the old g++ and gcc packages (keeping only g++-2.95
and gcc-2.95.  Funny, the old g++ and gcc packages were also version 2.95 
(2.95-2)), and making two symlinks in /usr/local/bin pointing gcc to
gcc-2.95 and g++ to g++-2.95.

Right now, the only gcc and g++ packages I have are the -2.95 ones.  IMHO
the links to gcc and g++ should have been created automagically; should I
file a bug report?  Is there something wrong on my system?

The system is an up-to-the-last-minute Debian testing with mysql and php4
from unstable.


TIA, Enrico

With the proper modutils ( >= 2.4.1), I was able to build it (with
kernel-package) with no problems. You'll need some extras if you want to
run devfs (devfsd) or reiserfs (reiserfsprogs), but if you don't want to
do anything too exciting, it should just work.

During installation or after? After installation, you can add a line to
/etc/fstab like:
/dev/hda6   /home   ext2defaults0   1

This will mount /home at boottime.
Adding noauto will not mount it at boottime, but you can mount it later
shortly with 'mount /home'.

I'm not sure what you want the result to be but here are my two
assumptions:

1.) You want perl to print yup 4 times ie. 0a0a is 1 unit, there are
four yup; so here is how i did it:

perl -ne 'print "yup\n" if /(\x0a)$1/;' junk

result:
yup
yup
yup
yup

2.) You just want one yup meaning yes there is an x0a in there:

perl -ne 'print "yup\n"; last, if /\x0a/;' junk

result:
yup


I hope this helps.

I've had this happen when I transferred a module incorrectly. I think I
transferred it across an ms-dos-mounted floppy instead of vfat. Maybe you had
a transfer problem? 

Try "file ". The modules should say, I believe, 32-bit ELF.

One question that is asked during the installation procedure is whether 
you want to
make the hard drive bootable.  This may be a stupid question, and I have 
no wich to

offend, but did you do that?

None taken.  I did specify that I wanted the drive to be 
bootable.  It asked me where to install the mbr program, which confused me 
a bit since I usually think of mbr as referring to "master boot record."  I 
went with the default which was to put it on the target partition.  When I 
boot, I get:

MBR

L  07  07  07 .

and the 07's continue in what is apparently an infinite loop.  If I hold 
down shift I get the

MBR 1FA:

prompt, but I'm having a hard time finding out what I can do from there.

Can the machine normally boot off a cdrom?  If you installed from a cdrom, you
should be able to boot off that one.

Second (sorry, third) question, what's the make of the cdrom?  Is it 
non-standard?

Did you include it in the kernel?

Alas, no.  It's a parallel port cdrom.  That's why I loaded 
paride.o.  Unfortunately, I think there are a couple other packages I 
should have also loaded, but I don't know what they are.  The model # is 
166550.

I was still able to get the base system installed via the floppies and I 
can boot with the aid of the boot floppy.  Getting the rest of the packages 
installed has become a secondary concern right now.  If I can get the drive 
to boot, then I can drop it into the ricoh, which has a cdrom with a 
somewhat more standard laptop ide interface and hopefully I'll have more 
luck mounting that.  Right now the trick seems to be getting it to boot.

Thanks for the help

Unlikely, because when I try to login into my old slink machine with an

I have a slink machine with sshd 1.2.26 and a woody machine with sshd
version OpenSSH-1.2.3 and ssh version OpenSSH-1.2.3.  All login attempts
are made from the woody machine (OpenSSH).  Connects to the old ssh

Exactly.  That's the behavior I want to achieve.

Network device (eth0)

2001-02-06 Thread Danilo C. M. Marques


Hello for everyone !!

I had begin Debian 'Potato' installation. I followed all steps
indicated by installer program (loaded modules, etc,etc ...). When a tried
to configurate the network via DHCP server ... no works. So, configurated
it 'by hand'. Using a ping command in tty2 virtual console, I noted that
 the network wasn't up ! My question is: Do I how do to get up the network
? I loaded the correct module to my eth0 device (ne.o because I have a
NE2000 ISA PnP network card), with the correct options (IO=0x300 IRQ=3).

Thanks for any help,

using it for DOS/Windows right now.  You will have to move all the
files you want to keep off the D: drive and onto the C: drive (this
includes the downloaded stuff above).  You need to have some available
disk space.  That is, some space that Debian (or any other OS for that
matter) can do what they want with, not just free space that Windows
has control over.  When I installed Debian, I made the boot floppies
and booted from them.  Since you are using windows, download the
"rawrite" program.  Use it to copy the rescue.bin and root.bin file
onto floppy disks (1 file per disk).  You can't use windows (Dos
prompt or Windows Explorer) to do the copy.  The .bin files are exact
binary copies of the entire disk.  If you use Windows Explorer, you
will have a Windows format disk with a file on it and you won't be
able to boot with it.

Compiling 2.4 kernel

2001-02-06 Thread Tom George

I am using 2.2.12 and would like to compile a 2.4 kernel.  The release 
notes warn against compiling with gcc 2.95.2 which I currently have 
installed and recommend compiling with gcc 2.91.66 (egcs 1.1.2)  How do 
I best replace gcc 2.95.2 with gcc 2.91.66?



I have become fairly acquainted with using apt-get to download and 
install packages from the stable distribution.  Is there an 
egcs_1.1.2.deb somewhere?  Must I first purge gcc 2.95.2?

Well, no. I'm using good old-fashioned XFree3.3.6 and Helix Gnome 1.2

screensaver stops and I'm back at the gdm login window.

any other idea?

Then again, you can save yourself from all those kinds of potential trouble
with make-kpkg. It builds debian packages from the kernel source.
I normally use something like:

Brand new kernel:

cd /usr/src
tar xjf archive/linux-2.4.0.tar.bz2
bunzip2 -c archive/patch-2.4.1.bz2 |patch -p0
mv linux kernel-source-2.4.1
ln kernel-source-2.4.1 linux
cd linux
make menuconfig
sudo make-kpkg --revision computername.0 kernel-image
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i kernel-image_2.4.1_computername.0_i386.deb
(fix up the lilo settings as I don't agree with the defaults, then run lilo.)

Later reconfiguration:

cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
sudo make-kpkg clean 
sudo make-kpkg --revision computername.1 kernel-image
cd /boot
mmv "*.2.4.1" "#1.2.4.1.0"
cd /lib/modules
mv 2.4.1 2.4.1.0
sudo dpkg -i /usr/src/kernel-image_2.4.1_computername.1_i386.deb
(fix up the lilo settings as I don't agree with the defaults, then run lilo.)

(Any perfections would be appreciated.)

don't worry about it, almost nobody (if not nobody) has any problems
compiling 2.4 with gcc 2.95.2.

No, I mean Opera beta version 4.0b4 . I do not have
konquerer on my box.

The thing to be done here is to download the statically 
linked version (since  Opera is linked to kde2),  which 
is not  installed on regular potato boxes.  If you down
load the statically linked version,  you can do without 
installing the kdelibs for kde2. This an issue which is 
independent of window-manager dependence.

I  had  downloaded the beta in .deb  format from one of
the links on www.opera.com ( I think Polish, just don't
remember) in ".deb" format few weeks ago. The main site
at Netherlands was a bit too busy at that time. This is
in response to a subsequent post on this thread.

I've done  this using two different approaches.   Both involve copying
~/.ssh/identity.pubfrom   one   machineand   addingit   to
~/.ssh/authorized_keys on  the other  machine.  (It looks  like you're
using SSH protocol version 1; the  files to be copied will be slightly
different for version 2.)  The first, discouraged, approach is to just
hit "Enter"  for the passphrase (i.e.  set up a  null passphrase) when
running  ssh-keygen (do this  before you  copy the  identity.pub). The
second, "official"  approach is to  use ssh-agent and  ssh-keygen (see
their manpages) to prompt you  for your passphrase only once, and then
"export"  it to your  environment so  that subsequent  ssh invocations
"know" what it is. In my case this is accomplished by putting

SSH_ASKPASS=/cs/local/bin/ssh-askpass ; export SSH_ASKPASS
eval `ssh-agent -s`
/usr/opt/ssh/bin/ssh-add $HOME/.ssh/identity $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa < /dev/null

in my ~/.xinitrc.

Without having ever seen or used Opera, I suspect that you probably
*will* be able to block the adds with junkbuster. As it sits as a proxy
between the browser and the internet (from where I am, unless it fetches
it's adds through the proxy, it wont be able to get them anyway), as
long as it's fetching the adds from a predictable server (you can check
this by tailing the /var/log/junkbuster.log file), there is no reason it
wouldn't be able to block them.

Of course, if Opera uses http 1.1 to fetch the ads, it could be a
problem, as junkbuster has a problem with that.

Anyway, someone try it and report back to the group (that's you're
homework for tonight, if you're reading this and have Opera and
Junkbuster!)

RE:XFree86-4.0 screen resolution missmatched with monitor viewing area

2001-02-06 Thread John Foster

I recently upgraded to a full woody/testing installation. After a few
hours of reading & experimenting with "xf86configure"  I got the new
XFree86 4.0  server to work well. I still have 1 problem. The
resolutions that are accepted on my monitor are "640x480" "800x600"
"1024x768" "1280x1024" 24bpp . When the server runs XF86Config-4; it
automatically loads the lower resolution first. I then have to manually
(CTRL+ALT +/-) change the resolutions. The problem is that when I select
the one I want...the virtual screen/desktop is diffetent that the actual
edge of the monitor. In fact none of these modes match the screen. In
the past I have been able to correct this by selecting the startup
default with XF86Setup and using only that resolution. That does not
seem to work with "xf86config" or "XFree86 -configure" & xf86cfg
completely craps out. I think there is an option called viewport that
nees to be set, but the docs do not cover it well enough to try it. Any
Suggestions. It would be really cool to be able to switch screen
resolutions & have them all fit the actual 13.7" viewable area. I have
all of the monitor specs and the video card specs as well.

man kernel-img.conf. You can tell the image package not to run
 lilo, or any boot loader.  Also, the latest kernel-packages from
 unstable come with an example script to install a stanza for the
 image being installed into the grub menu (the latest kernel-package
 creates images with install and remove time hooks, so you can add
 arbitrary scripts to be run at install and remove )

Just install the GRUB Package. Follow the instructions in /usr/share/doc to

ISO IMAP-server with SSL-capability

2001-02-06 Thread Norman Schmidt

Hi!

I just went from hardware and basic-level administering our dormatory
network to email.

I want to set up an IMAP server with SSL-capability, i.e. I want to be
able to trans mit mails securely.

- Does this apply to the password as well or is it transmitted in plain
text?
- Which server do you know/suggest?

So far I´m working with Cyrus, but it doesn´t seem to do SSL. Or does
it?

Thanks, Norman.

Transmeta paid for it's employment opportunity spam in advance of

GNOME apps not using KDE2 colors

2001-02-06 Thread Bart Szyszka

Hi,

I have the latest version of KDE2 from unstable and none of
my GNOME programs are taking on KDE2's colors and fonts
even though I have that option enabled in Kcontrol. Is there
a config file I can edit manually to check for this? It's especially
bugging me since all the fonts in my GNOME programs are
larger than they should be. I have used GNOME programs
from Debian unstable and also just upgraded them to the
programs in Ximian's (Helix's) apt source without any luck.

pool vs potato: finding last day's packages on a local mirror now difficult

2001-02-06 Thread Jameson Burt

On my home computer, I mirror Debian i386 versions,
including potato and woody.
The use of pool packages has hindered my search
for appropriate packages.
Here I give three techniques I once used,
the limitations caused by "pool" packages,
and partial solutions.
Below, of the three techniques, "1" searches by time, presenting
the most difficulty under the new pool scheme.

1. Finding recent packages (involving creation time).
   With much of woody pointing into ...debian/pool,
   on my mirror, I can no longer easily find the last day's
   package additions to woody.
   Under potato, I would search my mirror like the following example,
  find /usr/local/mirror/mirrors/debian/dists/potato -ctime -1 -ls

   One solution to this would put in the
   package descriptions file, Packages.gz, a "Date:" field.
   Another solution would strip from Packages* files
   all "Filename:" fields, get the date of this "Filename:"
   from the local mirror, then sort the result by date.
   I currently use this approach, whose script I attach at the bottom.

2. Finding packages by name in a particular Debian version.
   Under potato, I could also search for a package simply,
  locate gimp_  |grep potato
   This can now largely be accomplished, after an "apt-get update", with
  grep-available -P -s Package   gimp
   However, six months after potato's release, I more often install
   woody packages into my potato distribution;
   sometimes I am interested in potato packages and sometimes
   in woody packages.
   So, I must now search through some scheme like,
  grep-available -P  -s Filename  gimp\
$(locate Packages| grep woody)
   However, since I only download Packages.gz,
   I must always uncompress Packages.gz.
   So, searching for packages not in the current installation
   version (potato) has become more difficult for those having
   the benefit of a local Debian mirror.

3. Search for software in a particular section
   and a particular Debian version.
   Under potato, with my Debian mirror, I could see available
   mail software by simply entering,
 ls /usr/local/mirror/mirrors/debian/dists/potato/*/binary-i386/mail
   For my current installation (potato), I can enter
  grep-available -F Section mail   -s Package
   But for the testing distribution woody, I must enter something like,
  grep-available -F Section mail   -s Filename  \
  $(locate Packages| grep woody)
   Even after I find a prospective package, I must now perform
   a second search for the exact filename in my local mirror,
   which before had the section in the package's path; eg, "/mail/" in
.../debian/dists/potato/non-free/binary-i386/mail/xfmail_1.4.4-1.deb



If one lacks a local mirror, and
if one isn't looking for Debian packages that are new (by time stamp),
finding-and-getting prospective packages (on woody when one runs potato)
is not much more difficult than getting them off a local mirror.
Without altering /etc/apt/sources.list,
one can keep a local copy of "woody" Packages* files to search
as above in "2" and "3", then get those files with, for example,
# From a woody Packages file,
# you see "Filename: pool/main/i/imp/imp_2.2.3-19_all.deb"
wget ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/imp/imp_2.2.3-19_all.deb






# The following script lists in reverse time order
# all Debian "woody" packages on my local mirror.
# I run this script as, for example,
#   this-scripts-name   woody

# Here are typical Packages* files, uncompressed and renamed
# into the single directory, $DEBIAN_PACKAGE_ROOT.
#   Packages.woody.main
#   Packages.woody.contrib
#   Packages.woody.non-free
#
#   Packages.woody.non-US.main
#   Packages.woody.non-US.contrib
#   Packages.woody.non-US.non-free
#

DEBIAN_ROOT=/usr/local/mirror/mirrors/debian/
DEBIAN_ROOT_NON_US=/usr/local/mirror/mirrors/debian-non-US/
DEBIAN_PACKAGE_ROOT=/usr/local/mirror/debian-briefing/
#I consolidate, rename, and uncompress relevant Packages*
# into the above directory.

#If no Debian version entered on command line, use "woody":
DEBIAN_VERSION=${1:-woody}

shopt -s extglob#allow special expansions like  "+(...)".

RE: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in ...

It sounds like you probably didn't move your old modules directory before
installing your newly compiled modules. 

Do this   move /lib/modules/2.2.17 to something like
/lib/modules/2.2.17.old and go back to your kernel source tree and do 'make
modules_install' again.  This should clear up that problem.

Upgrading to kernel 2.4

2001-02-06 Thread Henry Gomersall




I need to upgrade my base system to kernel 2.4 
because the drivers for my ethernet card are simply not in kernel 2.2 (and they 
are in 2.4). I have downloaded gcc and make and installed them (I think). When i 
run 'make dep' after 'make config', I get the following error:
>gcc: installation problem, cannot exec 'cpp' : 
No such file >or directory.
any suggestions anyone?
Also when I try and do 'make menuconfig', it says 
something about not being able to find the Ncurses libraries. I have installed 
these libraries though (again - i think!).
Sorry for the blatant ignorance shown by these 
questions, but everyone's got to learn somewhere.

You could probably specify the --geometry option on the command line.
You would have to make all launchers use it (or a script) to see the
effect.  In a shell you can have scripts in your path (before the

Ok, so you have set KDE's options, and GNOME isn't looking for them.
Is this really odd?  If you want to affect the GNOME apps, you'll have
to set /GNOME/ options.  (or make KDE emulate GNOME so that the GNOME

Re: partitioning 45 gig HD

2001-02-06 Thread Zac Epkes

What i would do in this and for anyone is Make sure / is the first
partition (Primary) or make a small 30mb partition for /boot at the
beginning of the drive which Lilo will require for the 1024 cylinder
max.  As long as the other partitions i would make / maybe 3 to 4 gb
(this is plenty), /usr 5gb to 10gb depennding on what exactly yor doing
(being like me i have Quake3 & Unreal Tourney so i made it kinda big),
/home maybe another 5gb.  Whether u r planing to store stuff used on
/data or /home you either make /home larger or make /home a little
smaller (being some files will Dled there temporarily) and make /data
the rest of the disk.  NOT forgeting your swap if you really need one.
otherwise depending on your system, processer, RAM, reply with that, i
have a P3 650Mhz w/ 256mb RAM and a 500mb swap that never gets touched.
so for the finals :

/boot -30mb at the beginning of the drive
/-4gb (plenty)
/usr  -5gb, bigger if installing a lot (IE - games, office
utils)
/home -4gb (bigger if where data is stored)
/data -the rest of the disk (if this is for only global data
then possible 4 to 5gb)
swap  -maybe 500mb if you have a system around mine

and as for primary vs. logical, you CAN have 4 primary partitions seeing
that all logical drives begin at hda5 (and i also got this from
partition magic)
and i would probably make /boot and / primary as the rest logical

Sorry for the strung out responce, and hope it helps =]

No no no. There's an option in KDE2 under the 'Style' section that says
"Apply fonts and colors to non-KDE apps". This used to apply my KDE2
colors and fonts to  GNOME programs.

I wouldn't because GNOME doesn't have an option to apply its color/font

I suspect that for most people this is a breeze. I just use the
monitor controls to put the picture where I want it for each
resolution. The monitor remembers each setting because it's in
a different mode (i.e. it recognises the scan frequencies and
fishes out the correct settings from an internal table).

With old-fashioned monitors that can't do that, I set the controls
using my preferred resolution, then switch to the other one (this
would be just 800x600 to 640x480) and use xvidtune to scale the
new picture. Then I copy the modeline from xvidtune into the
XF86Config file at the appropriate place. (Thank goodness I no
longer use those old monitors for X).

The only problem is: I don't know how XFree86 4 does modelines.
It may be different from 3.

Re: Virgin question: Nvidia graphics card and agp

2001-02-06 Thread Zac Epkes

Yes Linux does support nVidia, In the menu of drivers you would pick the "nv" in
the list..  But if you plan to play Quake3 or UT or similar, You will have to go
to nVidia.com and downlaod the detonator 3 drivers for linux, and after
installing them you will have to edit your XF86Config-4 (i think this is it) and
scroll down till you see Section Device and change Driver to "nvidia" with the
quotes.

libstdc++ links nuked by upgrade

2001-02-06 Thread Daniel P. Katz

Hi.

I just did an incremental 'apt-get dist-upgrade' to my
woody/testing box and got moved to gcc 2.95.3 (along with associated
libraries) as part of that process.  Once it was done, I found that
the symlinks corresponding to libstdc++.so and libstdc++.a had been
deleted without replacement.  

Of course I simply recreated the links and the system works
fine again, but I am wondering if anyone else has seen this behavior.
(More precisely, did it happen because of a peculiarity of my system,
or is it an installation bug to be brought to the attention of the gcc
package maintainers.)  I'm also wondering if there are any other
monsters to beware of...

Please Help: cut-n-paste problem while using hpterm on Debian 2.2 (kernel 2.4.1)

Hi There!,

This is my first time in this mailing list. I am having cut-n-paste
problem while using 'hpterm' on Debian 2.2 potato and kernel is:
"2.4.1 #2 SMP Thu Feb 1 16:22:58 PST 2001 i686"

The problem is like this:

I am displaying 'hpterm' from a HP-UX 11.00 box in my Linux box.
I am using the following parameters while using 'hpterm':

+mb -sb -sl 5000 -ls -display <>

First few minutes cut-n-paste will work, after that mouse will NOT
be able to highlight (cut) and paste. I have tried 'mb', didn't help.

It is very difficult to live without cut-n-paste. I tried using
'xterm', but that doesn't have 'smooth scrolling'. in 'xterm'
and 'dtterm' cut-n-paste always work. I don't like the appearance
of 'dtterm'.

My libc version is : libc-2.1.3.so and ncurses version is 5.0-6.0.


Pl. help me.

Hi,

for compiling the kernel (Debian way) you need the following packages:
kernel-package
libc6-dev
bin86
libncurses5-dev
gcc
fakeroot
dpkg-dev
bzip2
tk8.2-dev (for make xconfig)

You can get them with 'apt-get install'. Hope that also solves your cpp

Maple 6.01 provides all needed libraries itself. The only library
that needs to be compatible is /lib/ld-linux.so.2.
That's the case with potato. Maple uses glibc 2.1.1, potato
uses 2.1.3. So it should work fine.

You can just install the RedHat things when the install script
asks for. (I've not tested with the SuSE binaries.)

Yes, it has worked for a very long time. Only recently has it stopped
working. I did a fresh install of Debian/KDE and then the GNOME
programs, but they don't take on KDE2's colors like they used to.

> What I meant was: I would expect KDE apps not to see my GNOME

> preferences.
Why? It's not like KDE/GNOME have any special permissions that
don't allow each other to read each other's config files. This is
why they're all getting closer to WM/UI standards, so that it's easier
(and better for the consumer) for KDE and GNOME programs to
cooperate together. This is a *good* thing. I *want* GNOME programs
to take on my KDE2 preferences (which is why I have "Apply KDE
fonts and colors to non-KDE programs" enabled) so that I don't have
to try to set everything up twice.

legal to use libapache-mod-ssl in USA??

2001-02-06 Thread debuser

I asked this a week or so ago, but it was a day that the mailing list was
having trouble, so I wonder if many people received it. So, I'm asking
again. My apologies to those who got it the first time.

Is it legal to use mod-ssl (or apache-ssl) in the US for commercial
purposes? I've seen some conflicting documentation on the matter (and it
seems like I heard laws changed regarding this recently as well???). Also,
is using mod-ssl or apache-ssl as secure as one of the secure commercial
apache solutions (e.g. Stronghold)? And lastly, from what I've seen, most
people seem to prefer mod-ssl over apache-ssl. I'm interested in
preferences and opinions on this as well.

It is now.

Before Sept 20, 2000, the RSA algorithm was patented in the US and you
would need a license from RSA to use any implementation of the
algorithm.

A couple weeks before the patent expired, RSA released the algorithm to
the public (which was a nice gesture, but would have been a lot nicer 5
years ago...).

The freeing of RSA wasn't due to the US Govt suddenly getting a clue
(you know the same evil crypto stuff that Evil Terrorists use is what
makes your purchasing a book from Amazon 'safe'?) but due to the
expiration of the patent.

At this point, the only restriction on crypto is the bizarre US export
laws (which haven't changed: an executive order doesn't change the laws,
it's merely a statement on how they will be enforced), but mod_ssl was
written in the UK (which is trying hard to have laws as silly as ours,
but isn't quite there yet in crypto export) and is perfectly legal to
import.  [Well, the only restriction for US users anyway... I don't want
to think about how silly French crypto laws are]

Use sslwrap. It wraps in SSL imap, pop3, telnet, http, ftp, ...
For some services there are better options, but for mail reading
it works fine.

Re: DSL

2001-02-06 Thread Ray Percival

I assume you mean Linux :). DSL is easy. Get a external DSL router 
(The Cisco 675 works *very* well) Your provider may want to push a 
internal card on you don't go there. The external is worth the 
extra money. Get a good supported NIC. (Most providers will give 
you one insist on PCI and a good brand all that good stuff.) 
Basically if you then install Debian (This all assumes Potato or 
better) it will ask you for device drivers. Choose the right 
drivers for your card. It will then ask you if you want to use 
dhcp or bootp if you have to tell it yes if you have a static IP 
tell it no. Then give it the right information for your IP gateway 
dns servers etc. It will then work just like any other network. 
Setting up the router is specific to the provider but most 
provider ship them with sensible defaults and you should be good 
to go. Just one word of advice if you do get the Cisco give it a 
password (by default they have none) also consider looking at 
www.floppyfw.org and spending a couple hundred in hardware to set 
up a firewall and save yourself alot of pain. That is really all 
there is to it. Have fun.

You need to build a new so-called format file which includes the
hyphenation patterns for French. To do so, run the program 'texconfig' (as
root), choose the option hyphen and uncomment the line about French, ie.
remove the percent sign in front of the lines:

french frhyphen
=patois

All should fine afterwards. Please feel free to ask if the above is not
clear or does not work.
