Very strong second on this.  My suggestion for a new box, particularly
if network connectivity is reasonably constant, is to install *only* the
base system, then apt-get individual packages (or groups at one time,
or, in some cases, tasks), as you find you want some functionality.
You'll find that it takes a while longer to get your system up and
running (in the future you can use apt-get --get-selections > file and
apt-get --set-selections < file to transfer package lists to other
hosts), but you have much better control and a much better understanding
of what you have.

With Debian, it's trivial to install new software you want to explore or
evaluate:  'apt-get install foo' and you've got foo.

wwwoffle, IIRC, provides this option, if properly configured.  I looked

A "communicator" package exists in stable, testing, and unstable.  It's
in contrib/web.  Make sure apt is setup to get contrib and non-free
packages.

This is easily checked by going to

Try:

Sorry to reply to myself, but I've tried X4.02 with the new matrox
drivers and would like to report complete success.

Running at 16bpp, I now have working hardware acceleration! woo hoo!

All I need now is to work out why apt can't find xmame-gl and tuxracer
in unstable!

Re: Keyboard (how to ping others)

[DSC Lithuania]

Okay, you have to look at a file named something like hosts in the directory
etc.

/etc/hosts

See if it is there.  That file then needs to define all of the other systems
along with names.  So first, you need a "local only" IP address for your
network.  This should be 192.168.x.y , where x can be any number from 1 to
255, and y should be the computer's individual ID number (1-255).  So my
network's *MASK* is 255.255.255.0, and my network's address is 192.168.1.0

(the '0' computer address is a broadcast address for the network.)  You then
need
to go around to each computer in the network, and set up a TCP/IP protocol,
and assign
an IP address with a different unique number 'X' for each.  Usually, the
server will have
x=1, then other computers can have x=2, x=3, etc.

As you go, write down each computer in the list, and also assign each
computer
a name.  Names should not be confusable with people's names, nor should they
be confusable with project names or even the actual computer's name (no
'IBM'
'DELL3', etc.)   One good set of names is trees, for example.
"OAK","ELM","WILLOW",
etc.  Or cars "TEMPO","CIVIC", "F100", etc.  So you write all these down on
a sheet
of paper.  You can add any other aliases you want, though.

Now edit at that "hosts" file, and add some entries to it.  Each line should
contain
the IP address of the computer, it's name ('Elm'), and then any aliases you
want.

Now also come up with a name for your network (I have "netname" below, but
it
could be "trees" instead.  I'm not sure, but it could need to be the name of
the workgroup.)

127.0.0.1  localhost
192.168.1.1 elm.netnamealiaselm
192.168.1.2 oak.netnamealiasoak1   aliasoak2
192.168.1.3 birch.netname  aliasbirch

and so on.

Once you have this set up, now you can go ahead and "ping oak.netname" and
it should work.

alsa sound

[Alan Chandler]

I have an sb-live sound card and I am having trouble getting sound to
work.

I have installed (from unstable) alsa-base, alsa-modules-2.2.18pre21
(and kernel-image-2.2.18pre21), alsa-utils, libsound1, but in order
for anything to work I seem to have had to manually add lines into
/etc/modules for soundcore and emu10k1.

When I start /etc/init.d/alsa 

I get loads of 

depmod:  *** unresolved symbols in
/lib/alsa-modules/2.2.18pre21/0.5/snd ...

and then

Staring ALSA sound driver (version none): do driver installed

It looks to me like there should be an alsa directory in /etc/modutils
with the appropriate alias lines in - but nothing got installed.

I tried re-moving and re-installing all packages, but that hasn't done
anything.

Where do I go next?

TIA

  I guess you can remove it, I did remove true type font server (forgot
which one I had) and I have the true type fonts.

  not ure why it wasn't removed automatically, I guess it does not
really conflict with anything, it is just obsolete, maybe it still has
some features that are not matched by true type font support in X 4.x

Re: X woes....

This is , I assume, where anXious asks to autodetect the card. It can't 
detect alot of cards. Click past it finish the install (Go with simple). 
Then just set the card up usind xf86config and of cource xvidtune to get 
the modlines just right. Works with the TNT2 and I get the same error 
from anXious. Have fun.

Uhm, it's a quite ugly hack, because I'm not familiar with sed/awk,
but this seems to work:

find . -type f | xargs ls -lk | awk '{ print $5 "\t" $0 }' \
| sort -nr | sed -e 's/^[0-9]*\W*//;' | less

Which kernel-version do you use? In newer versions there is a emu10k1
module in the sound section so you don't need alsa at all.
Before the kernel-module I used alsa too but I compiled it from source
and followed the instructions from the alsa-mini-howto and never had
any problems.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Whats the deal with LD_LIBRARY_PATH in Debian?

I have a ORACLE::DBD perl module that needs this set to include the Oralce

Sounds like there should eb a "Debian Way" of doing this though. ??

How to set DPI when running KDM?

[Viktor Rosenfeld]

Hi folks,

I just went through my monthly apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
for woody, and noticed that X now is running with -dpi 100 when started
with startx.  This is great, finally I have a consistent font
resolution.

The only problem is that I'm running KDM, which will still run my X
server with -dpi 75.  I have been looking into the files in
/etc/X11/kdm, but couldn't find a place to specify the different
resolution.

Any ideas?

TIA,
Viktor

Would I be better off installing a system from teh "testing" distribution, or

somewhat OT: Long Range Wireless LAN under linux

[Peter Howell]

	This is a little off topic because it's more of a hardware question than a 
software question.


Is there a system available that would let me have wireless connectivity 
with a range of at least 1500 feet.  There is one building in the way, but 
it is otherwise open.  I could even put the base antenna outside on the 5th 
floor of my building.  The mobile system will be in a tent (circus tent, to 
be specific) most of the time.
	The best I've been able to find offer about 1000 feet.  Of course these 
are all at least 10Mbps.  For my application, I'd be happy with 56k.  The 
base system will most likely be running linux.  The laptop will be running 
whatever it takes to get the system operational.  (I'll be using VNC, so 
the OS of the laptop isn't that  important.


Thanks

Keyboard

[Ales Jerman]

Hello!
I installed Debian 2.2 on 486. After reboot the keyboard started to act
strangelly - When you tiped one "a" it wrote "aa", multiple
letters, sometimes it didn't write even a letter. At the end it stopped
working. At start I can push Del buton to get into BIOS, but ones that
Linux loades, the keyboard is death. So, how to deal with this problem? At
startup Linux says:
 
AT Keyboard not connected
or
AT no Keyboard
 
or something like this.
On Debian is only Base System from 11 floppyes installed.
Tahat is maybe also because I might defined devices that are not
installed(hardware), so there was written that in that case linux might
not respond. How to delite modules? There are some modules for PCMCIA, and
on startups it shows that that device wasn't find.
There is another problem
too: I can ping localhost and IP of this computer that I defined in
/etc/network/interfaces, but I can't ping other computers on the net. What
am I doing wrong?
Thank you!
Bye,

pkspxycwrap

[MaD dUCK]

so my pgp6.rc file, which i use with mutt to enable embedded pgp, lists
the following line:

set pgp_getkeys_command="pkspxycwrap %r"

however, pkspxycwrap (who the heck baptised that name???) doesn't
exist on my system, and in fact, i have never seen it anywhere, not on
debian, not on suse, not on redhat, and not on slackware. google
doesn't return but pgp6.rc files and i am semi-clueless, not only
because the display of

pkspxycwrap: command not found

screws up my mutt's curses display anytime i get a message signed with
a key not on my keyring.

i can just delete/comment the line, but the concept of it fetching
keys automatically isn't all that bad.

any ideas? is anyone using this successfully?

There is too much output to capture, but from

I don't run kdm, but look in /etc/kdm (??) for a file with a line like:

/usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 100 vt7

and make sure it has that -dpi 100 argument.

If you as administrator want to make it available to everyone, I think you

cyrus und mail-sorting

[Sven Gaerner]

Hi,

I switched a server to cyrus-imapd. Before I did this I used the 'normal'
imapd for storing mails and deliver for mail-sorting. I used one file for each
mailfolder. Now deliver seems not work with my cyrus-imapd.
How can I get deliver work with the cyrus-imapd?

Thanks.

Uhm, it's a quite ugly hack, because I'm not familiar with sed/awk,

find . -type f | xargs ls -lk | awk '{ print $5 "\t" $0 }' \

i don't think you can. you gotta use cyrus's delivery program for me, i
have
this in my sendmail.mc:

define(`confLOCAL_MAILER',`cyrus')
LOCAL_RULE_0
Rbb + $+ < @ $=w . >$#cyrusbb $: $1

there is a tab inbetween > and $. if your using something else the

since cyrus stores mail in /var/spool/cyrus it needs it's own delivery
program.

I have similar but different problems between a lap top and my
workstation.  The fonts after the kde session starts is fine - but on
the lap top the kdm logon box fills most of the screen, the
workstation is is of a reasonable size.

the file you refer to with the line like the above in is

/etc/X11/kdm/Xservers

but there is also a file

/etc/X11/kdm/Xresources 

which has a some degree of influence here.

Where I think you are getting confused, there is a directory /etc/kde2
in which there is a file kdmrc - this describes a whole load of
paramters for the login box too.

I was running 2.4.1 with the module from the kernel - and then I
couldn't get sound to work because all the documentation I could find
(including in the kernel) couldn't tell me how to get the module
loaded.  In the end, I did a kernel recompile and started it and it
seemed to destroy the root partition filesystem, so ...

I reloaded debian from scratch using the potato (stable) cd 1 to get
me to the point where you can edit apt/sources.list and then chose
"advanced" selection of packages to put me into dselect.  I have a
potato mirror on another machine with "selected" debs from unstable
(mainly xfree 4, kde 2.1beta and then the libraries etc that that
decision drags you into loading - also the alsa modules 0.5 - because
they have the sb-live drivers in them), so it set sources.list to
point to potato and (in another line entry) an "extra" directory tree
where I have stored the extra stuff (used dpkg-scanpackages to create
a Packages.gz file)

So ...  I am now running 2.2.18pre21, and the alsa .debs are all the
versions that use those kernel headers.

margin size for a2ps printing

[mike polniak]

When using a2ps to print in landscape mode, i lose four columns
of print on the left (interior)margin.
The a2ps default interior margin = 0. I've tried using a
negative value, but that doesn't work. Apparently this is room for
binding space, but i need to define a margin size that doesn't chop off my
first four columns.
Any way to work around this setting?

debian with install on reiserfs?

I would like to know if there are any debian floppies that would enable a

   So console-data and console-tools have a packaging bug in that they
should depend on perl-5.6.

   I want for proof that perl-5.6 is not available in testing. If the
dependencies of console-data and console-tools had been correct then
they would never have made it to testing.

It's a known bug in console data, it depends on a version of debconf
that is not in testing. (One of the types of things that testing's

A strange story! I just copied your `jed' file to my own

and it works OK for me (I don't have jed installed, so I just

Well, you can try

and you can later read file slowly. (using `less' for example)
(and, a UNIX tip: see `man script' if you want a more
general solution to `too much output to capture')

There realy should be a line like:

Update-menus[1659]: Reading menuentryfile /etc/menu/jed

in the `update-menus -d' output. Are you certain even
that is missing? Then something strange is going on.

Oh, maybe you already told me, but what version of menu
are you using? (dpkg -l menu)

   Ok. I assume that since it's a known bug I don't need to make a bug
report.

ispell no hash

[Todd V . Rovito]

I have just installed Debian for the first time, and
am very impressed with it.  The ispell program seems to
be missing the hash tables.  I did "apt-get install ispell"
to install ispell. Does anyone know where I can find the
hash tables so ispell will function?  Or how do I build 
them?  I can not find a dictionary file on my system.  Any
help you can offer would be great.

XVideo with 3dfx V3

Hi.

I can't seem to find any info on this in the XFree docs.

Does 3dfx Voodoo3 support the XVideo extension?

If so, how do I get it to work?

odd delay with ssh and ipchains

[Timothy H. Keitt]

I just configured ipchains on my firewall box to only allow www and ssh  
access from outside the local net.  Web access works like a charm, but  
when trying to connect with ssh, I get a 5-10 second delay before the 
connection completes.  I'm running woody with 2.2.18.  Here's the rule 
chain:


keittlab:~# ipchains -L -v

Perhaps this is because I'm matching on interfaces and not net addresses?

Corel WP 2000 and X4.02/testing

[Damon Muller]

Hi gang,

I have wp2000 installed on my system, which I recently updated to
testing, including X4.02.

I haven't used wp2000 since I updated, but when I went to do it today,
it didn't work.

I got an error about the font server not running, which I presume is the
fontastic font server, which wp2000 uses. The process is running
(fontfs), and netstat --listen shows something listening on port 7102.

Looking back at my old X3.x XF86Config file, there is no entry for it in
the font list, so I presume that it works that out itself.

Is anyone running wp2000 under X4+? If so, did you have to do anything
special to get it running?

cheers,

damon

Small debian install

[Neil Walsh]

Hey all,
I have this P75 with 500MB HD and 16Mb RAM just sitting there
doing nothing (unwanted present from friend) so I'm going to install
Debian on it.

I was wondering has anyone managed to install debian on such a spec
machine with an X server. Is it even feasible?

Thanks in advance,

IP masq'ing with 2.4.1 - FA311 (83810 vs. 83815) - Kernel module symbol versionning

[hogan]

Well folks, I'm pretty much convinced that my past problems with my box are
wholely based on the duty cycle of the modem (I gotta turn it off when it's
not online or it overheats and slows down to a crawl - yay Auslinx :)

Currently running 2.2.17 prepackaged (semi testing/unstable :) debian kernel
until I get this sorted, but did the following:

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
wget ftp://ftp.au.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.1.tar.bz2
tar -jxvvf linux-2.4.1.tar.bz2
make clean
make menuconfig
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --revision=daserver.1.0 kernel_image
dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.1_daserver.1.0_i386.deb
vi /etc/modules
vi /etc/lilo.conf
lilo
reboot

... and the thing reboots beautifully... except:

Supplied RTL 8139 driver now "8139too" - easy fixed :)
IP masquerading not working...

Which modules do I need to load for iptables ipmasqing and ipchains support?
(I compile most things as modules so I can pull things out and put them back
in again without recompiling the whole load)

After digging around my HDD, I come up with:
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter$ ls
ip_conntrack.o  ip_tables.o  ipt_MARK.oipt_REJECT.o  ipt_mac.o
ipt_state.o   iptable_mangle.o
ip_conntrack_ftp.o  ipchains.o   ipt_MASQUERADE.o  ipt_TOS.o ipt_mark.o
ipt_tos.o iptable_nat.o
ip_nat_ftp.oipt_LOG.oipt_REDIRECT.oipt_limit.o
ipt_multiport.o  iptable_filter.o

What do stick in /etc/modules? Do any of the entries require arguments?

I tried some of the more obvious things at the CLI like:
modprobe ip_tables
modprobe ipt_MASQUERADE
etc. and get all sorts of errors (oops.. didn't grab them - running 2.2.17
right now) ranging from various /dev/net entries not being present to
ipmasquerading not enabled..

... but:
/etc/network$ cat options
ip_forward=yes
spoofprotect=yes
syncookies=no

I'm guessing it's a combination of my not knowing what I'm doing half of the
time (Oh yeah.. that looks useful... "m" :) .. and that things like ip_forward
etc. can't be turned on until relevant modules loaded.. I did compile with the
auto kernel module loader thingy (highly technical terminology :) though.. I
also put versionning on kernel module symbols on, but someone was telling me
this doesn't work right now - would this fsck things in general?

At present system uses ipmasq package to configure everything with ipchains -
which, I understand is supported through compatibility module
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipchains.o

Anyway, any hints etc. appreciated - if I can get my head around IP tables, I
might dump the ipmasq package.

Oh yeah, anyone know if NatSemi kernel supplied 83810 series driver works with
83815 (NetGear FA311)? I want to take out the RTL8139.. I guess I could just
try it (but then that means pulling all the cables out of my server to get to
it etc. etc. etc. :)

different bug, this message refers to the RESOLV_HOST_CONF variable

affects glibc 2.1.3 which is what potato has.

GDM, KDE2 & Port 1024+

[Volker Schlecht]

I noticed the following phenomenon when using the KDE2 binaries on
a otherwise usual potato systen and GDM:

When I log in the first time after booting up, KDE (?) seems to open
port 1024. If I close the session and log in again, the port is closed.

So far so weird, but it gets even better: If, at the first login I don't
check for open ports (using "nmap localhost"), log off and on again,
suddenly port 1025 is open. If I do the same again without checking,
it's port 1026. Again, a simple portscan and logging on again closes
these ports.

(BTW: I set up GDM so that it does not listen for XDCMP)

Notably, the usual KDE log-off prodcedure (screen darkening) seems
to run significantly slower when I close the session in which I checked
for open ports, it runs smoothly when I don't.

Can anyone hint me to where the problem is? I currently feel a bit
like using Schroedinger's Desktop Environment...

cya,
Volker

For myself, the following works:

# apt-get install iamerican

A quick grep, etc. on Packages suggests these might work as well:

Package: iamerican
Package: ibrazilian
Package: ibritish
Package: iczech
Package: idanish

My laptop is a 486-50 with 12MB and 384MB HD. It's running hamm with X.
Haven't bothered upgrading. But I'll bet your machine will do fine
(although performance under X won't be that great). Choose your window

apt-get: 93 Protocol error

[Mike McNally]

The full error is:
Could not create a socket - socket (93 Protocol not supported)

apt-get was working fine and then I made the mistake of attempting an
upgrade which required editing the sources.list.  To get a newer ver
of gnome or kde or something like that.  Eventually it was obvious 
that the edited sources.list was not going to work and, as usually,
returning to the original text did not fix the problem.  I have been 
able to do an ftp upgrade via dselect but would like to get apt-get
running.

To that end I went to ftp.debian.org and ftp://non-us.debian.org and 
found these paths (for goodness sake, this should work)

Please set your mail client to wrap at 72 characters.

Just edit -
/etc/network/interfaces

Take a look at "man interfaces"


It should look something like -

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.10.7
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.10.0
broadcast 192.168.10.255
gateway 192.168.10.1

depending on your configuration.


Then run -
# /etc/init.d/networking restart

That should do it.

O.k. I just installed kernel 2.2.18 that was a .deb on a 
2.2.12 system.  How to get this kernel to start over the 2.2.12.  
Tried to make boot disk for it but i got fd0 errorsabout bad block 
sectors.  Need new floppies??  It's on a dual boot with w98:( .  
Also tulip will only run in half duplex .I tried to add a line to /etc.modules 
like i was told but it still runs in half when checked with tulip-diag.  
Would I be better off getting the lastest driver and where to get 
it?

Re: odd delay with ssh and ipchains

[Jason Schepman]

Tim,

I don't think you're doing anything wrong.  I assume that you're running ssh
as a daemon.  If this is the case, mine does the same thing.  Sometimes my
ssh connections don't even go through until I attempt a second connection.
It's almost as if the daemon has to 'wake up' before it will accept
connections.

I run woody with kernel 2.4.1, using DHCP. My
configuration file of network interface is following.

--- begin ---
$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation
# automatically added when upgrading
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
---  end  ---

When you edit your configuration file, you should
restart your network.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Thanks. BUt now I have more questions. (maybe you would like to point me
to some documentation so I don't overflow the server, hehe). If I don't
need any special tt server, how can I make X to recognize my tt fonts,
something ala mkttfdir and then changing FontPath?

Do not forget to select task-newbie or console mode MC (midnight

Well, the problem with that is that there aren't any solid docs on it...

Basically, the idea is that the "script" can do basically anything to
determine what mode you're meant to be in. I have it basically:

for each place it could be:
configure the network as though it is there
try pinging a host that should be on that network
if you get a response:
we know where we are
otherwise:
no idea where we are, don't configure anything

But you could also do it based on GPS coordinates if you have a GPS, or
something else.

The API is basically that you get the interface (eth0) as $1, and you get
the "map" lines (without the word "map") in standard input, and you just have
to echo the name of the logical interface you want on standard output when
you're done (or exit 1 if you give up).

Dunno if that helps.

Cheers,
aj

Just use lilo to manage multiple kernels. The default is the first one, or
a named default argument. Check the lilo and lilo.conf manpages. 

Not sure on tulip. I'm using it in several machines, but I've never tried
tulip-diag to see if it's full duplex or not. Where did you get that?

Newbie! Need help w/display config

[matthew johnson]

My brother and I are newbies!  We have installed Redhat 6.0 on his Compaq
Presario.  When we boot, and GNOME starts, the desktop is HUGE! We must've
configured the display modules wrong.  He has a Compaq 700T monitor, and
an NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 graphics card, with 8+M.  We can barely move around
the desktop since only a fraction is shown at one time.  Please help us...

Perl warning on woody apt-get revisited

[Glen Snyder]

I still get warnings when using apt-get. I've tried using dpkg to
install perl-5.6 and perl-5.6-base. It does not remove perl-5.005. If I
try to do dpkg -r or apt-get-remove with perl-5.005, I have all sorts of
dependency problems. So I have both perl versions installed. Do I have
to force a replacement of 5.005 by 5.6? If so, how might I go about that
(without breaking all of the applications that depend on it)?

Thank you for your help and suggestions (Sorry if I have had to ask
about the problem more than once to get it straightened out)
-Glen

I get something similar to this, whenever I use apt-get dist-upgrade.

ack. Asus CUV4X is for Intel cpus only. Socket370/FCPGA. i REALLY hope
your not trying to run a socket A processor in one of them :) I have
2. one runs P3-733 one runs P3-800..it is a VIA chipset based board
but won't run AMD unless you did some serious hardware and chipset

modems are the most pricey. to get a good modem usually runs $70-80
minimum.
others may get cheaper ones working but if it's my system i don't take
chances. video cards...since your in brazil im not sure. but i picked up
2 16MB refurb creative labs TNT1s over a year ago for $45 a piece. a few
months later i picked up a 16MB voodoobanshee for about $50(also
refurb),
all of them work great in linux. 

as for cdroms if your going IDE, the only drives i use in my IDE systems
come from SONY or TOSHIBA. i don't trust asus/aopen/anyothermbmaker to
make cdroms. just like i would never buy a toshiba or sony branded
motherboard :) but thats me.

i picked up a 40X(more or less, forget the actual speed, they are all
the same these days) toshiba cdrom last night for about $50 i think
(OEM packaging).

and if your building a computer, i already responded to your other mail
i HOPE you did not order a duron to run with a CUV4X as that will not
function. i didn't read this mail and assumed you already owned the
hardware and just made a typo, but this email makes me think you are
currently ordering the hardware.

Xlibs problem

[vijay]

I just noticed that the xlibs package (version 4.0.2-1) doesn't
provide the shared libraries for some of the libraries, Xrender and
Xft to name a few. The static versions of these are however
available in xlibs-dev. The binary distro of Xfree86 from xfree86.org
however has these in Xbin.tgz. Is it a bug in the packages or are
they included in some other package that I haven't installed. 
Also the xlibs-dev package doesn't seem to provide
Xft/XftFreetype.h. No bugs seems to have been filed regarding these
problems however. 
I just wanted to confirm before filing a bug report.

Vijay.

No idea what protocol 93 is (it's not listed in /etc/protocols). FTP
should use the tcp protocol (6).

But what is dselect using to get packages?  CD-ROM?  Based on
sources.list below, did dselect work with apt-get from CD-ROM?

Good question?

Maybe you can use http://... instead of ftp.  Does it make a difference?

Do you have some funky /etc/apt/apt.conf ?  A broken apt.conf will cause 
problems.  Still, no idea what the 93 is...

man perldiag :

   perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
   (S) The whole warning message will look something
   like:

   perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
   perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
   LC_ALL = "En_US",
   LANG = (unset)
   are supported and installed on your system.
   perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

   Exactly what were the failed locale settings varies.
   In the above the settings were that the LC_ALL was
   "En_US" and the LANG had no value.  This error means
   that Perl detected that you and/or your system admin-
   istrator have set up the so-called variable system but
   Perl could not use those settings.  This was not dead
   serious, fortunately: there is a "default locale"
   called "C" that Perl can and will use, the script will
   be run.  Before you really fix the problem, however,
   you will get the same error message each time you run
   Perl.  How to really fix the problem can be found in
   the perllocale manpage section LOCALE PROBLEMS.
