resolv.conf gets modified on boot
Hi All I'm a newbie to Linux and trying to setup a firewall / masq system on a computer with 2 ethernet cards. I have installed the 2.2.18pre21- compact kernel. I modified the resolv.conf file and added our ISP's primary and secondary DNS server IP so that the file now looks like: search .co.nz co.nz nameserver nameserver Ping to an ourside domain name and all is fine but whenever I reboot the computer the resolv.conf file gets changed back to: search .co.nz co.nz nameserver 192.168.123.1 The IP address is the address I entered when installing the system orginally (before I got the second ethernet card working). Where is it getting this from and how do I get it to accept the correct version of resolv.conf? I have read through lots of FAQs and HOWTOs but have not been able to find the answer. Thanks Lex

Onshore TimeSheet
Hi, does anyone have any experience with the Onshore Timesheet application? I have read a review in LinuxJournal that I like so I downloaded the tar ball. The install documentation mentions a Debian package, so I went back and searched their ftp to no avail. Had a look at the packages on www.debian.org but did not find anything. I tried their mailing-list but that gives a bounce (attached) and the support link on their site does not work... Does anyone know: - If this company is still alive? - If the TimeSheet app is a decent application? - If the Debian package is around somewhere?

Re: Senior Project
Hi, I have a 486DX with 12MB which works perfectly. It serves BIND, SSH, telnet, firewall (well, not well configured yet), ip-masq, smtp and pop3. Now it serves for three people to share their internet on an ADSL link. The only thing with which I notice slow processor is when I ssh or telnet to it and read mail on it. So, if you do not need this, the machine serves well. But for installation, playing and research you can better use a more up to date computer. Installation and reconfiguration takes a long time.

( go in the xfree dir ( with the stuff u downloaded ) run "sh Xinstall.sh" and then do the pickin chicken :-) <- this one is important, at first i overwrote some files (changed from n to y) and i had to remove all xstuff again )... when that is finished run "xf86config" and you should find a driver for i810 in the card-database... startx and :-) hope this works for you but please don't blame me for anything goin wrong... im pretty new to linux and debian... i feel like playin with my LEGO !! when you still got problems just mail me... cu peter p.s. also i would be interested in what the real debian cracks think of that installation procedure ( is it bad style ?? ) On Thursday 22 February 2001 09:32, you wrote: > studenten wg schrieb: > > i think the best solution is to look if the hardware your going to buy is > > supported under linux... > > i had much more trouble installing linux ( exspecially the xserver ) on a > > new intel i810 board with a clereron 433 ( graphic & sound onBoard ), > > than with > > By the way: can you tell me how you did that (the thing with the i810 > onboard graphics) because I have the same problem. > Tanks in advance... > > Sebastian Mörchen > > [...]
mutt used to list folders in a directory
A within the last week my unstable mutt stopped doing a cool thing. After invoking mutt I used to type 'c' to change to a different mailbox, and then I would type '?' to see a list of all mailboxes in my ~/Mail directory. Now, 'c' still prompts me to enter '?' to see a list, but typing '?' does nothing. After typing 'c' I can enter the full path to a mailbox, but I miss my cute mailbox list.

Lan & Browser
At my office (NT Lan and access to the WEB controlled through a proxy),when I used RedHat and Netscape, asking for an external page a window popped-up asking for the user (I gave it in the form myworkgroup\myuserid) and password and it all worked properly. Now with potato 2.2r2 & Mozilla even if I've configured the browser in the same way for the proxy no window comes up asking for those info and no connection is possible. Can anyone out there help me to fix the problem? If it can't be fixed is there in potato another suitable web browser?

Telnet and ssh send more or less one character per packets in both ways, each geting a full header, and hence move much more data than you actually realize (You don't see the character you type until the remote host echoes it). Also, for being very small packets you get full impact of latency which isn't that short with ADSL. So it's quite unlikely that your 486 is such responsible for that. Did you try it using a faster computer? Also, did you try moving a mail with a big attachment? You should notice that it comes quite a bit quicker.

Re: iptables and 2.4.1
You "generaly" must replace "ipchains" with "iptables" in your script if you want to have the possibilities of Iptables, I don't know in how far they changed the syntax, rtfm. If you still want to use ipchains you must compile your kernel with backward compatibility (not to remind that you possibly must compile your kernel anyway for using iptables!!!). Also you must have the netfilter tools (just search for netfilter at freshmeat.net, there you are :)). Hanno - Original Message - From: Michael P.

Re: Exceed 6.0 with Debian 2.2r2 and Windows95
You first need to tell xdm (or kdm or gdm) to allow XDMCP connections. There are some security considerations in allowing anyone to connect, so you may just want to add just your Windows host to the list. The config file for this is in /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess (or /kdm/ or /gdm/). Once you've made the change, restart xdm. On your Win box, run the Exceed Xconfig program. Selet "Communication". The mode should be set to XDMCP-query. Select "Configure..." and set the "Connect Host" to your Linux box. That should be it. Run Exceed and you should get your xdm login box. rgds-- TA ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I don't speak for the Federal Reserve Board, it doesn't speak for me.

Yesterday's dist-upgrade broke qt
Hi folks, I did a "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" yesterday to the latest woody tree. IIRC, it only upgrade three libs: libmng, libqt2.2, and liblcms according to /var/cache/apt/archives. Well, today I log into my machine to realize that the desktop background of KDE2 is broken. When I start kdesktop from the command line, I get: $ kdesktop kdesktop: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/kdesktop.so: undefined symbol: noxim I was wondering whether this is fixed in unstable, but I am reluctant to upgrade libqt2.2, because it will upgrade libc and libc-dev in the process, and I don't want to make things worse. Is there any known instability in libc, libc-dev in sid, or is it (more or less) safe to upgrade. BTW, is there a way to down-grade via apt? Besides, only kdesktop is broken (desktop background and screensaving) the rest is working without problems, so this isn't really an issue. I guess, it will be fixed within the next 10 days anyway.

Hiding my 2nd partition?
As I was merrily doing a dist-upgrade this week (and go caught in the perl mess ;-), I encountered another problem. *Something* I upgraded this week out of unstable, my bet being lilo, keeps hiding my second fat partition. My structure is something like this: /dev/hda1 NTFS, NT 4.0 SP5 /dev/hda2 FAT16, ... linux partitions ... No matter what happens, the second partition gets marked as Hidden FAT16. If I fomat it NTFS, it gets marked Hidden NTFS. Linux (Kernel 2.4.0) will still mount the partition, and the data is there, but NT refuses to see it. NT Disk Admin sees as an 'unknown' parition. I should mention that this setup worked flawlessly for 3+ months, across multiple invocations of lilo and mounts & usages of the second partition from both OS's, until this week. I've tries using fdisk/cfdisk to change the type of the partition, but it doesn't persist, and I get a 'unable to reread partition table' message when I write out the table. Any help?

hogyan kezdjek neki a debiannak?
Helló Nos annyit elmondanék magamról hogy használok dos-t is és sajnos win-t is. Mind két rendszert elég jól ismerem.(már a hátam mögött van legalább 15 win95 és 15-20 win98 telepÃtés, Dos-t nem telepÃtettem annyiszor mert az nem hal meg minden kis problémánál, de ezzel is elég jól megismerkedtem). Sajnos nem tudok angolul és még program nyelveket sem ismerek.(de ami késeik az nem mulik) De most ugy vagyok a Debiannal mint annak idején a dosal, hogy semmit sem tudok róla. Nem tudom mi kell hozzá? Kell e a Linux? Kell e ismernem a linux parancsokat hozzá? Esetleg vegyek egy linuxos tankönyvet és tanuljam meg, és majd csak ez után próbálkozzak a Debiánnal? Vagy elfut a gépemen(van egy dosos partÃcióm és egy wines paricióm)? Mit kell letöltenem hozzá hogy használni tudjam? Használható e alatta X windows system?(sajnos nagyon sok olyan program van ami csak win alatt fut és nekem nagy szükségem lenne rá) Ãsa mi a legfontosabb amit sajnos nem tudok: A linux ingyenes e?(azok a linuxok amik már felhasználóknak vannak és nem a fejlesztÅknek) Ãs hol találom meg azokat a programokat amik kellenek hozzá? Most még van internet hozzá férésem de lehet hogy jövÅ hónapban már nem lesz. EgyenlÅre ennyi is elég mert nem szeretném rabolni az idÅdet. Válaszodat elÅre is köszönöm. Tamás

apt-get, dpkg, sources lists and other exciting entities
Hi, About a week ago one of the reiserfs filing systems on my computer decided to go pop, and wiped off /var. No backups. So I was pretty much stumped and have spent the last week reinstalling from my potato disks. Last night I finally got my internet connection up and running properly, and as I'd managed to tar up and save (into a windows partition) a lot of other stuff (inc /home, /root, /etc), I wanted to get back up to potato (which I'd been previously tracking). So my /etc/apt/sources.list file looks like this: namkas:/home/matthew# cat /etc/apt/sources.list # See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy # Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs # CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool. deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 _Potato_ - Unofficial i386 Binary-3 (2816)]/ unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main non-US/non-free non-free deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 _Potato_ - Unofficial i386 Binary-4 (2816)]/ unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main non-US/non-free non-free deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 _Potato_ - Unofficial i386 Binary-2 (2816)]/ unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main non-US/non-free non-free deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 _Potato_ - Unofficial i386 Binary-1 (2816)]/ unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main non-US/non-free non-free #deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free #deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free #deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free # Uncomment if you want the apt-get source function to work #deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free #deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US deb ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian testing contrib main non-free deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/testing main non-free contrib deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian testing contrib main non-free deb http://people.debian.org/~kitame/gnome/release ./ Now the really odd thing is that an awful lot of 'stuff' is missing: I did an apt-get update, and then an apt-get dist-upgrade and let it get on with stuff. But flicking through dselect reveals that the whole of kde is not there, reiserfsprogs, iptables, the perl cdk kit etc and I'm sure many more are not being listed. Is there something stupidly obvious here as to why they are not being listed? What do other peoples' sources.list files look like, and has anyone else come across this? I'm using mainly woody (?) with a 2.4.1 kernel on a PIII with 128Mb Ram. Many thanks for any help you could give me. Matthew

No, I don't think you can do that. When you login to the remote
machine with X forwarding enabled, the DISPLAY variable gets set to
something like 'remote:12.0', which points to a 'fake' X server
running on the remote machine (it's actually the ssh daemon) which
forwards the X connection back to your local X server.
If you cleared the DISPLAY variable the client ('xlogo', in this case)
won't know how to contact the X server.
Getting back to the original question: no, you do not have to do
anything special. If you are running X on the local machine (which I
assume you are), then just login to the remote machine using
'ssh -X remote' and run your X clients.

Correct me if I am wrong, but setting DISPLAY=your.computer.ip:0.0 will
create non secure X forwarding, which is a little bit faster. I am
aware of a few ssh servers which don't alow ssh display forwarding. So
the only way there is via regular forwarding.

Re: ssh doesn't stop prompting for password [SOLVED]
Well, not exactly 'forwarding' - setting DISPLAY that way will simply make
the remote machine display to your X server; it's not forwarded, just
directly displayed. And you're correct - it's not secure.

But when I enter the Gnome control center and select multimidia/sound/general and "enable sound server at startup" and "sounds for events" options, nothig happens. Any event generates a "plack!" sound. The same thing occurs when, besides the settings in the Gnome Multimidia, I select "play sound effects for window events" in the sawfish/sound folder. Any help will be very welcome! Regards, Marcelo

Not necessarily - ssh often also compresses data, which means you may very

How to install app from source code?
I can start gnome-session, then mount CDROM #4 from 6 disk set, and then find the .gz and .dsc files. But that's as far as I can get. Which debian install untility will work with these packages? I could try to do it from command line if that would help. If I click on a .tar.gz file the Olde M$h*t way in the Gnome File Manager, the source code will display as text, but no install program gets initiated.

Kernel 2.4.1 Mis-configuring 3c509b NIC
I can start up kernel 2.2.17 and the 3c509b Nic has the proper address and intr, 0210 and 03. However, when I startup kernel 2.4.1, the NIC gets configured as 0220 12. Am I doing something wrong here, or is this some kind of bug? One more question, where can I find the source for getty? Mike Kuhar + mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Major panic after upgrade
Hi. I seem to have messed up big time! I wanted to install onsite-timesheet on my potato box. Because this was in 'unstable', I edited my source.list to point to unstable. The installation upgraded a whole lot more than I wanted: perl, postgresql, and libc6. Now I am unable to do abount anything because apt-get breaks. I get errors like: Data::Dumper object version 2.101 does not match $Data::Dumper::VERSION 2.09 at /usr/lib/perl/5.6.0/DynaLoader.pm line 219.

dist-upgrade badly broken-XFree86

Any suggestions how to proceed? And should I report this as a bug against apt-get, xfree, none, both? Thanks.
Re: Major panic after upgrade
That's kinda hectic. Check in /var/cache/apt/archives for good apts, and such and dpkg -i the stuff. That's what I did when I've blown my system in some special way. Perhaps someone has a better solution... just a note, I think that when you want things like this you want to pull down the source with apt-get source and need to put something like deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free into sources.list. That way you can do your own compile and you don't need the unstable packages (hopefully;) I've seen it in the list before, so you can probably get more info from the archives or the usual places. rick On Thu, 22 Feb 2001, Erik van der Meulen wrote: > Hi.

"Can't open display" problems
I just upgraded from potato to woody and found that I cannot open my display for X apps anymore. My hostname is MEDESIGN, so I used to set my DISPLAY environment variable to MEDESIGN:0. Now I have to set it to :0.0 to run local X apps. However, this won't work when I try to run an X application from a remote ssh connection. This sounds like an embarrassingly stupid problem, but how do I fix it? Thanks in advance, Trevor

rpm dependencies problem (yes, rpm!)
Hi, I'm trying to install a software-package on Debian potato. It's "Novell NDS 8.5". The good thing is, that it needs a 2.2-kernel and glibc v.2.1.3, exactly what potato comes with. But: I'm unable to install that program, because it's installation is really dirty. On the install-CD, there are lots of *.rpms, which are installed by some obscure install-script (not directly with rpm). Now the problem is, that the installation breaks, because it says, some packages are not installed (glibc not found, /bin/sh not found etc). But they are installed, I think "rpm" is just not aware of that. Is there a way to tell rpm (maybe with alien?), what packages/files are installed (eventhough they are *.deb packages?).

Note that when you use ssh, do *not* change the DISPLAY environment variable once connected to the server if you wish to maintain some degree of security with your connection.

Nothing embarassing there, your old ssh was propably replaced with OpenSSH which has more paranoid default configuration. See above for the fix.

AFAIK, there are no official images for woody just yet. After all, it's still being developed and the distribution is in flux, changing weekly or so I'd guess. However, I happened to see someone pasting the following URL in IRC once ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial so apparently it contains some third-party images of woody.

Unfortunately, Novell's NDS stuff probably won't run on Debian.

If I click on a .tar.gz file the Olde M$h*t >way in the Gnome File Manager, the source code will display as text, but no >install program gets initiated. Most programs distributed this way are source. That means you have to compile them. TTBOMK, there is no "install program" which will do all of the work for you. make handles a lot of it, but you still have to walk through the process on the command line. You need to copy the .gz files to your hard drive. I usually use /usr/src but that's optional. Then, untar and unzip the source using tar -xzpvf myfile.tar.gz This will put the source into it's own subdirectory. Inside that subdirectory you will usually find a README or INSTALL file. Sometimes it will be in a /doc directory. This should tell you exactly what you need to do to install the compile and install the program. Sometimes, it's as simple as running make with no arguments. Sometimes, you have to run a series of "make" commands. For example, compiling a kernel involves something along the lines of: make mrproper (or make clean) make config (or menuconfig or xconfig) make dep make bzImage make modules make modules-install And, of course, all this assumes that you have make, a compiler and possibly various development packages installed. If not, you'll have to install those packages first but they should be available via get-apt/dpkg (or the dselect front end). You might want to check and see if the program you're trying to install is available as a deb package. Some programs, however, aren't and you either compile them or do without them. For better or worse, Debian isn't Windows and you have to get at least a little dirt on your hands.

Have you tried the Open Office stuff? {openoffice.org} I still
don't think it will save in word but it seems to be a bit "lighter."

Absolutely none. the ORA and the Corel are based on the same libraries, etc. You can use packages from one in the other, assuming the dependencies are fulfilled. BTW, they're both one (almost two now) distribution behind: they're both Slink (Debian 2.1) with 2.2 kernels, Debian has since moved on to potato (2.2r2) and is in the process of moving on again to woody. >Please cc my address directly as well as the list - I have limited >bandwidth for email and was overwhelmed by the list. > >I was not able to use apt-get with Corel - it seems to want a dedicated >internet connect and I don't have that. ?! The default apt configuration in Corel is the CD+the FTP site. Comment out the "deb ftp... " line and it should work fine. I think you'll have the same problem with the ORA CD if the aforementioned is the ONLY problem (the solution is similar). Basically the reason it wants a dedicated connection is that part of the use of apt is to efficently keep your system updated from remote servers. If it's simply a CD package setup, dpkg or dselect is a much better option. >Thanks ! >Shawn > > > > -- I can be immature if I want to, because I'm mature enough to make my own decisions.
