Re: Frequent download time outs - Solved?
I have figured out a way to solve my problem. Using tcpdump I was able to determine that the problem always occurred when the exchange was doing SACK (Selective Acknowledgement). This is a feature turned on by default in the 2.2.x kernels (actually since 2.1.??). It is intended to increase performance in the face of packet loss. Turning SACK off has solved the problem. It also explains some of the variability I have seen. Some sites are not SACK compatible, so the download happens fine. Some sites do not generate the packet loss problems which start SACK options being exercised (at least not all the time). Later, the same site might be much more congested and start having problems. The way I turned off SACK is to execute the following (as root): echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_sack Since this has corrected the problem, I have updated /etc/init.d/networking to include this step. I am not sure why SACK is not working properly. At least now I know what to search for and have found several references on the kernel mailing list regarding problems seen with SACK implementations. There seems to be a good deal of disagreement about whether the problem is in the linux implementation or the implementation used by various ISP's. Since I get these problems trying to download Debian files, I suspect I am talking linux to linux. As time permits I will try to troubleshoot this further and document it with tcpdump output. For now, I would like to see if the above fix corrects the problem for others who are seeing the same timeout problems. Regards, Jeff

Thank you very much. Well, that was it. I remembered I read somewhere that NVIDIA's drivers only supported 16-bpp. I remember how my PII350 slowed almost to freeze in 24 or 8 bpp, so maybe what I'm watching is my PIII800 being able to maintain a very slow motion netherless.

If that is all that is wrong, add a final newline to
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libgnome-pilot0.list
If the install of a package is severely messed up:
1) remove any files listed in /var/lib/dpkg/info/.list that
do not belong to any other package (use "dpkg -S " if
you can, "grep *.list" otherwise).
2) look at the /var/lib/dpkg/info/.{pre,post}rm scripts to
see what specials need to be done
3) do "rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/.*"
4) edit the packages entries from /var/lib/dpkg/{available,status}
it will be like dpkg never installed it.
If you think the files list file is truncated you can use
"ar -x *.deb" on the .deb to get at the data tarball, which
will let you see what was placed on the file system.
Maybe you can get away with fixing the list file, doing "dpkg --purge
", and manually removing any files not in the list file.

Memory/cpu quoatas for users
Hi. I am looking for a way to limit the amount of memory and cpu used by the apache daemon, since the web machine is very resource-limited. I know I can reduce the maximum number of servers, but that doesn't limit usage by each server. Perhaps a default "nice" level would also help. How do you set the default nice for a user? The thing is, would either of these stop something like a while(true) loop, which allocated memory? I've been making some changes to the apache daemon mod_perl setup recently and I end up being locked out because something swamps out the system. I get `half-connects' where, for instance, ssh/telnet connects but then just sits there until it times out. This sounds exactly like a thrashing problem. I had a top running and kswapd seemed to be the last thing I saw before it hung. Maybe this is a kernel level thing? Is there something like a high-watermark process killer that I could use, ie something which started rampaging around when memory usage crept above a certain level? Note that I think the problem will probably settle out once I've stopped making so many changes to the apache setup but, for now, it is a pain to have to ask for my machine to be powercycled. Regardless, it would be nice to know I have a safety net, just in case. Thanks, -- Mike

I suppose that several packages > (e.g. pppd) need to be updated to get a functioning system.. Since no-one else has provided a step-by-step guide, I've give it a go based on what I did. Some of this you will already know, but I'm trying to be complete! NB: `*' used when I couldn't be bothered finding out what the file was actually called. Tab-completion is your friend here! 1) Download the kernel % wget http://your.kernel.mirror/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.1.tar.bz2 2) Unpack it into the directory you want to build it % tar xIvpf linux-2.4.1.tar.bz2 /usr/src 3) Download the ac patches if you are adventurous and/or have issues that they help resolve. % wget % http://your.kernel.mirror/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/2.4/patch-2.4.1-ac2.bz2 4) Apply any patches % cd linux ; bzcat ~/downloads/patch-2.4.1-ac2.bz2 | patch -p 1 5) Build your kernel % make menuconfig % make kpkg-clean ; fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image 6) Download any extra bits and pieces you need. You at least need modutils-2.4.x, and may need reiserfsprogs and/or devfsd. You will probably need to get these from sid and compile them yourself, so: 6a) Add: deb-src http://your.debian.mirror/debian unstable main contrib non-free to your /etc/apt/sources.list 6b) Download and build your needed apps: % apt-get source modutils % cd modutils-2.4.* % debian/rules binary 6c) Install your new packages # dpkg --install ../modutils*.deb 7) Install your kernel # dpkg --install kernel_image*.deb 8) Double check that you have a sane /etc/lilo.conf 9) Cross your fingers and re-boot. That should be all you need to do, although getting the right options in the new kernel can take a bit of work, so be prepared to compile it a few times (I think I did it about 8 times before I got everything I wanted, and then 2.4.1 was out!) Also be aware that it seems to take a lot longer to compile that older kernels do. On an up-to-date potato, I suspect that modutils is really all you have to upgrade (maybe ppp, if you use it, I don't, so I don't know). Building the source packages from sid is quick and easy, however, so go nuts. I don't believe you have to do anything silly like upgrade gcc.

I've installed, and happily run, potato on a 486 with 8M of RAM (an old notebook, for which a ram upgrade is difficult). It works, but I hope you're a very patient man to survive the install. dselect and dpkg are woefull on low mem systems. Expect to wait an hour or more for the selection of files to come up in dselect. Expect dpkg to crash a few times whilst installing stuff. dpkg does seem to have a lowmem option (or something like that), which helps. It may be possible to force dselect to use it, but I don't know how (try man dselect?). In short, it worked for me. It runs fine when it finally gets going (I only use mine in text-mode), but I'd highly recomend compiling a much leaner kernel than the debian default. cheers, damon -- Damon Muller | Did a large procession wave their torches Criminologist/Linux Geek | As my head fell in the basket, http://killfilter.com | And was everybody dancing on the casket...

kernel 2.4 & iptables Q
Hi! I have just compiled 2.4.1 kernel on my potato box and set up iptables firewall, but I am having some problems. I used to have a few ipchains rules, that contained the -t (tos) flags. Iptables also supports --tos, but I cannot make it work. A rule with -tos 0x10 returns: Bad argument `0x10' Does anyone know how exactly (the whole rule) to implement this -tos parameter?

Sig 11 in X4.02 using Matrox G450
Hi gang, After having bought a spanking-new Matrox G540 video card, I'm not able to get it to use drm/dri for accelerated 3d. This is mildly annoying, as I went and bought myself an expensive video-card so I could see the cool OpenGL XScreensaver hacks! I'm using X4.02 from testing (as of tonight), but the same happens with the same packaged built for potato. If I run it in 24-bit depth, X starts fine, but there is an error message in the logs saying it'll only do hardward-accelerated drm in 16bpp (why do I have 32 #%^! megs of ram in my video card if I can only do 3d in 16bpp!?!) Anyway, when I try and launch in 16bpp (ie., startx -- -depth 16), it tries, and crashes out, saying: (II) MGA(0): [drm] Sarea 2176+624: 2800 Module called exit() function with value=1 Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting The full log is attached to the end of this message. BTW, this is using the mga_drv.o module from the Matrox site (the standard X4 one does not work with the G450). Can anyone offer any suggestions? I'd hate to have to use my old Voodoo3 and confine this cool new card to my (ew!) windoze box! cheers, damon -- Damon Muller | Did a large procession wave their torches Criminologist/Linux Geek | As my head fell in the basket, http://killfilter.com | And was everybody dancing on the casket...

The link to the development page from the Dock Applications Warehouse page and Freshmeat indicates the developer is AWOL. Basically, it gave CPU, memory + swap, and disk I/O as three separate displays. Mem/swap also provided uptime. I've settled on wmSMPmon, designed for SMP support, for the time being as a replacement. Looks the part and does most of the job. I've looked at gkrelm, but it's not as eminantly wmakerish as I'd like.

kerneld and 'Kernel module loader'
Hello, I build a new kernel v2.2.17. I choosed to enabeld the 'Kernel module loader' in the 'Loadable module support' section while make config. I took a look at Documentation/kmod.txt and found that enabling this feature doesn't need the kerneld anymore. Then, I boot my new kernel and saw a message saying that I shouldn't use the kerneld. I agree with that but where can I disabled this feature ? Thanks, -- Pascal Thivent

You can check your kernel configuration in /boot/version/config. That will tell what is configured as a module(=m) and what is compiled directly into the kernel(=y).So check for the following: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD CONFIG_SCSI CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR IF you previously loaded ide-scsi and sg modules then they are ok. If IDECD is not a module then that causes the modprobe failed messages. So you can remove the 2 lines in /etc/modutils/aliases that refer to ide-cd. But now you must tell the kernel to use scsi before ide by adding a line to /etc/lilo.conf : append="hdc=ide-scsi" and run lilo. -- ~~~

I have the same problem and another one: innwatch requires that the field domain in inn.conf to be filled. But I have nothing to put in this field as I have no domain name. What should I do? Thank for your help, -- David
Re: dselect does not offer CD as an install choice, why?
Hi Stan, > Problem is now when I go inot dselect and take choice 1, I am not > offered the choice of installing from the CD's. Which choices *are* you offered. I get cdrom as the first option. Another candidate would be apt, if it's there. Try putting the CDs in (no need to mount them) and issuing 'apt-cdrom add'. This should put them into your aprt sources.list. Then select 'apt' as access metod from dselect. HTH, Manuel
RE: Infinite sevens: MBR problems
Thanks for the advice. I put "linear" in and rebooted with no
change. Then of course I remembered to run lilo. (Haven't had my coffee yet.)
When I run LILO, I get the following errors.
debian:~# lilo
hda: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hda: read_intr: status=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
hda: status error: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hda: drive not ready for command
Warning: /dev/hdc1 is not on the first disk
Added Linux *
Skipping /vmlinuz.old
debian:~#
I get the impression from this that lilo is trying to do something with the
first drive, which on the PC110 is a 4MB internal flashram drive. Here is
my current lilo.conf, sans comments.
linear
boot=/dev/hdc1
root=/dev/hdc1
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
delay=50
vga=normal
default=Linux
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
image=/vmlinuz.old
label=LinuxOLD
read-only
optional
It appeared that despite the errors, it was installing on hdc, so
I went ahead and rebooted. I still getting "LI" and then it hangs. :-(
Thanks for the help. I feel like I'm close.

My documentation indicates that if you see LI at the prompt and then the

Try adding the word "linear" to the global portion of the /etc/lilo.conf
file.
Re-run LILO --> /sbin/lilo
Then reboot
This is interesting, let us know what works

Yes. That very well could be the problem.
LILO complains about the same thing for me on one of my home machines
(which has a nice fast SCSI for 'real' stuff and huge IDE drives for
mp3's and other piggy stuff where size matters more than speed... :)).
The way SCSI inserts itself into the boot chain annoys LILO (and hurts
my head anyway... it's REALLY bizarre trying to convince the bios to
boot a bootable CD on a scsi drive...)
What happens on my home system if I ignore the warnings is that the BIOS
will gladly load the LILO mbr off the hard drive, but when that mbr
tries to read the kernel, it ends up looking at the IDE drive... which
doesn't have it.
Anyway, there are some little-used options in LILO to get around this
and to convince the BIOS what to do. Look specifically at the 'disk='
section of the lilo.conf man page. You'll probably need to convince
LILO of the actual ordering of devices by the BIOS.

I followed the directions on the page above and got the results shown here with Netscape: http://www.mindspring.com/~hallstevenson/files/screenshot-012801.jpg I'm using *only* the built-in TrueType server with XFree86 v4. If you notice the items that are bold, but should be italic. I've since fixed that by taking the "alias" file like this one: -monotype-Arial-medium-r-normal--6-60-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -monotype-Arial- medium-r-normal--9-90-75-75-p-0-iso8859-1-monotype-Arial-medium-r-normal --7-70-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -monotype-Arial-medium-r-normal--9-90-75-75-p-0 -iso8859-1 and duplicating it but replaced either the "medium" or "normal" entries to "italic". I don't have a current screenshot, but slashdot.org now shows up properly. I'm also able to pick any size font with Netscape's drop-down selection box (from 6 up to 24 -- the same sizes shown in the alias file). I must admit, it was a pain in the a**. It should *NOT* be that much work, but it's fixed now. Good luck Hall

Hi, I've been trying to get my system to work with dual monitors, and
I'm
having a little trouble.
Card 1 is a Voodoo3 3000 PCI with a generic monitor attached
Card 2 is an ATI Rage Pro GB (Mach 64) with an NEC MultiSync XV14
attached
The X Server reports that it is unable to find device when it is
started.
However, the console itself recognizes the card. Any thoughts?

Include file problems
I have installed a new potato system, and choosen the "developer" install. I have looked in dselect, and confirmed that libc6-dev is marked as installed. Yet when I try to compile things, I am having include file problems. For example I am trying to compile the Oracle ProC samples, and they include stdio,h (which is there in /usr/include). It in turn includes, for example stddef.h, whch is not in /usr/include. I did find a copy of it in /usr/include/linux.

Hi, I have fetched the deb-src package of util-linux 2.10q to comply with the demands of a kernel 2.4.1. Compiling and installing it seems more daunting than usual -- the MCONFIG file in the source archive lists a lot of options that should be answered correctly so as not to wind up with a system that you cannot log into. I am uncertain of the answers to some of the questions that these settings raise and would be greatful if someone could edit the MCONFIG file listed below with the settings filled in correctly for a fairly virgin potato system (only a few updates from stable/security): -MCONFIG begin--- # If HAVE_PAM is set to "yes", then login, chfn, chsh, and newgrp # will use PAM for authentication. Additionally, passwd will not be # installed as it is not PAM aware. HAVE_PAM=yes # If HAVE_SHADOW is set to "yes", then login, chfn, chsh, newgrp, passwd, # and vipw will not be built or installed from the login-utils # subdirectory. HAVE_SHADOW=yes # If HAVE_PASSWD is set to "yes", then passwd will not be built or # installed from the login-utils subdirectory (but login, chfn, chsh, # newgrp, and vipw *will* be installed). HAVE_PASSWD=no # If you use chfn and chsh from this package, REQUIRE_PASSWORD will require # non-root users to enter the account password before updating /etc/passwd. REQUIRE_PASSWORD=yes #REQUIRE_PASSWORD=no # If you use chsh from this package, ONLY_LISTED_SHELLS will require that # the selected shell be listed in /etc/shells -- otherwise only a warning is # printed. This prevents someone from setting their shell to /bin/false. ONLY_LISTED_SHELLS=yes #ONLY_LISTED_SHELLS=no # If HAVE_SYSVINIT is set to "yes", then simpleinit and shutdown will not # be built or installed from the login-utils subdirectory. (The shutdown # and halt that come with the SysVinit package should be used with the init # found in that package.) HAVE_SYSVINIT=no # If HAVE_SYSVINIT_UTILS is set to "yes", then last, mesg, and wall will # not be built or installed from the login-utils subdirectory. (The # shutdown and init from the SysVinit package do not depend on the last, # mesg, and wall from that package.) HAVE_SYSVINIT_UTILS=no # If HAVE_GETTY is set to "yes", then agetty will not be built or # installed from the login-utils subdirectory. Note that agetty can # co-exist with other gettys, so this option should never be used. HAVE_GETTY=no # If USE_TTY_GROUP is set to "yes", then wall and write will be installed # setgid to the "tty" group, and mesg will only set the group write bit. # Note that this is only useful if login/xterm/etc. change the group of the # user's tty to "tty" [The login in util-linux does this correctly, and # xterm will do it correctly if X is compiled with USE_TTY_GROUP set # properly.] USE_TTY_GROUP=yes # If HAVE_RESET is set to "yes", then reset won't be installed.

why does eth0 require modprobe?
For those of you who have been following with baited breath the ongoing saga of my boot floppies: I am now loading a kernel from floppy #1 and a compressed root image from floppy #2, at which point I get a shell enabling me to mount floppy #3 and copy additional goodies from it. Having arrived this far, I crossed my fingers and ran 'ifconfig eth0'. This tried to run 'modprobe -s -k eth0', which failed since modprobe is one of the goodies I don't have yet. My question is, why do I need modprobe to configure the eth0 interface? Since the kernel gets a whole floppy to itself, I've compiled all the drivers (including the NIC driver) into the kernel. No modules. Is there some other way to associate eth0 with my NIC driver (3c59x.c) ? -chris

As someone else already pointed out, that you can install potato on a machine with 8MB RAM, but it's really painful. An alternative would be to do the actual install on a faster machine to get a base system up and running and then stuffing the hard drive into your 486.

If it's any consolation, I'm running Debian's "unstable" version and it's pretty damn stable for me !! ;-) Course, I don't really push it like some people may. Is kernel 2.4 in "stable" now ?? I just checked http://packages.debian.org and it does *not* appear to be... it's still in "unstable". Note though, it has a 99% quality rating. Should be pretty safe to use. ;-) Also, why would the package ppp-2.3.11-1.4 be listed in "stable", but have a quality of 1% ?? Regards Hall Stevenson

Well since idecd is not a module, you need the append line. The only way to change idecd to a module is to compile a new kernel. But your kernel must also set CONFIG_SCSI and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR. Now i assume you have CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI set. If any of these are not set in your current kernel configuration you will have to compile a new kernel and set them as modules. -- ~~~
