ESS ES1898 Chipset Sound Card
Hi, I have a No Brand name PCI sound card with ESS ES1898 Allegro Chipset. Please anyone knows which sound module I have to use for this sound card? Thanks,
[slightly OT] solution for pnp module problems
Just though I would pass this info along, in case it might help someone. I use the cs4232 OSS sound module to drive my PnP onboard sound card. The driver specifically supports PnP. When I switched to the 2.4.2 kernel from 2.2.18, I noticed that I could no longer insmod cs4232 - it said "no such device". After some poking around on the kernel list, I found that this was because I had enabled the ISA PnP feature in the kernel, as well as standard PnP. Apparently the kernel was grabbing the card before the sound driver had a chance to. Recompiling and leaving out ISA PnP support from the kernel fixed my problems. Anyway, if you have a similar problem with this or other modules supporting PnP, give this a shot. HTH - Tom
Outlook conversion
I was wondering if anyone knew of a program that converted a .pst Outlook file into something that a Linux email program like Kmail or Evolution can read. I want to totally convert over to Linux, but this is a big thing because I don't want to lose my hundreds of saved messages from the past couple months.

A pity the dump file got clobbered. I suspect the dump from 6.5 was in a form that 7.0 rejected - you had those two failed creates in the log.

ispell within emacs
Hi!, I have a problem to set up an emacs-ispell connection which works with Spanish for TeX/LaTeX files. There are two spanish dictionaries in the emacs edit>spell menu --the second one suitable to check for 8-bit characters. It appears that the flag -t is intended to cause ispell to pro- perly interpret TeX/LaTeX commands and act accordingly. While this works for English it does NOT fully work for Spanish. Thus for example the command ispell -t -d castellano spanish_file.tex(1) issued from an xterm does not recognise TeX style accentuated char- acters as parts of words. If the following is issued instead ispell -T TeX -d castellano spanish_file.tex(2) then everything goes smooth, and the dictionary can be used to full power. It seems to me, by its behaviour, that the call made to ispell from within emacs has the form (1) above. I would like to know if it is pos- sible to customize emacs so that it rather uses the form (2), and how. Anybody any hints, please?! Best, Alberto PS: I run GNU Emacs 20.3.2 on Debian 2.1. -- J.

thats the line in the /etc/bind/named.conf:
forwarders {
THE-IP-OF-YOUR-ISP;
}
later you need two zone files called in your named.conf for your local
network, one for resolving and one for reverse-lookup, eg:
zone "your-domain.de" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.your-domain.de";
};
zone "10.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.192.168.10";
};
then you need two new files wich are mentioned in the zone-entries above
and they have to be setup like this:
/etc/bind/db.your-domain.de:
@ IN SOA your-server.your-domain.de. root.your-domain.de. (
951213 ; serial number
43200 ; refresh every 12 hours
7200 ; retry after 2 hours
1209600 ; expire after 2 weeks
172800) ; default ttl is 2 days
@ IN NS your-server.your-domain.de.
IN MX 100 mail.your-domain.de.
gateway IN A 192.168.10.1
workstation IN A 192.168.10.2
/etc/bind/db.192.168.10:
@ IN SOA your-server.your-domain.de root.your-domain.de. (
951213 ; serial number
43200 ; refresh every 12 hours
7200 ; retry after 2 hours
1209600 ; expire after 2 weeks
172800) ; default ttl is 2 days
@ IN NS your-server.your-domain.de.
1 IN PTR gateway.your-domain.de.
2 IN PTR workstation.your-domain.de.
...then type a "ndc restart" at your command-line as root and you have a
working dns with a forwarder to your provider. if you are offline you
will get a little resolving-error but thats all.
Hope that helps, for any further questions just ask :-)
regards
joris

(e.g. gnome-apt is removed when upgrading apt because the cache files changed). Just a hint, please inform me if i'm right :-) regards joris -- Joris Mocka, Leiter Abt.

Re: buring potato iso's for an older CDROM

I have found the same problem with the CDROM drive in my oldest machine. The CDROMS which cannot be read are Debian 2.2, OpenMotif, and a handful of other OpenSource (non-commercial) CDs, and also the commercial CDs from one British computer magazine. The problem only became apparent a few months ago. Up until then that drive would read anything. I think this must relate to some new version of burning software. The machine with this problem is an old 486 still running Debian 2.0, with an original Mitsumi 1X CDROM drive with its own interface card running on the mcd kernel driver. This machine is still running bog-standard Debian 2.0 because it is just a backup workstation, and I couldn't be bothered with giving it any more updates. (this machine started life with a very early Slackware, progressed up the versions and then converted to Debian 1.3.1 and finally 2.0) All the CDs affected are read perfectly by other machines I have running later versions of Debian including 2.1, 2.2 and also Debian Progeny on a modern CDR/W While on the subject of my old Debian 2.0 machine, it might be interesting to some that despite this distro not being claimed to be Y2K compliant, it made it through the date transition with only the following problems: On the 1st of Jan 2000 hwclock messed up completely and had to be reset, but works fine now. Netscape 3 SSL certificate validation stopped working (everyone knows about this though). Perl gave a year 100. And then late in 2000 my ntp updates stopped working. The final problem noted has been on 1st Jan 2001 when the Perl month slipped back one to give a month of 0. These are the only problems noted, and none were in anyway critical. This Debian 2.0 workstation still functions very nicely. The only reboots needed since I installed Debian 2.0 on it were due to hardware problems, except the one needed to cure the hwclock problem as above. Well done Debian! (I still don't know what happened to ntp!) Helen McCall ---

My old Mitsumi reads all CDs burned more than a few months ago. It is only some of those burned recently which give the problem he was talking about. I am also getting the problem with a few commercial printed CDs. Helen McCall ---
how do you use a module more than once
I'm building a router to play with out of an old PC an a few Intel EthereExpress 16 cards. How do I insmod or modprobe to for each of the cards? I can load the module for any *one* of the cards by specifying the io parameter, but if I try again I receieve a message to say a module of that name is already loaded. Is there a way of 'reusing' the module, or specifying all the parameters on one line? Thanks! Richard

Agreed ... it dumps everything into a single directory so keeping track of where it's installed files is not an issue. Every time you "upgrade" it, just remove the existing mozilla directory and un-tar the new one. Other than having to change to that directory, or at least give the path to it, to run the program, it's not a problem using it. Hall

RE: ssh on Debian, not connecting to OpenBSD 2.7 ["Disconnecting: Bad packet length 1349676916"]
Through empiric testing, I have discovered that this is caused (for me at least) by a problem in the way that OpenSSL has coded the new Rijndael/AES implementation. Allegedly, this has been fixed in the CVS tree, but YMMV as I have not had a chance to try it yet. To check this, look at your ssh_config files to see which alogorhythm you are using by default and if it is AES, switch to 3DES and try to connect. - Ed -Original Message- From: Saad Kadhi (Home Tech Accnt) To: Darren Wyn Rees Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org; misc@openbsd.org Sent: 2/26/01 10:56 PM Subject: Re: ssh on Debian, not connecting to OpenBSD 2.7 ["Disconnecting: Bad packet length 1349676916"] > >> Offhand, I'd recommend updating OpenSSH on the Debian box to 2.5.1p1, >> available from many mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/portable.html. > > > Will do. a fast ! :)) I have run into the same problems some time ago & upgrading solved all the issues + corrected some vulnerabilities at the same time. > > bash-2.04$ ssh -V > SSH Version OpenSSH-2.1, protocol versions 1.5/2.0. > Compiled with SSL (0x0090581f). well on this side too you need to upgrade to 2.5.1. -- Saad "Authoritarians thrive on censorship and secrecy.

Thanks to all who replied about the apt question. I was just wondering, is there a way to do a testing install over ftp? I would like to set-up another box and go this route.Would I just go to the testing directory and download some floppy images? Which ones? What url would I point the install at? Can some one tell me if there is any docs on this subject? Thanks in advance.
Re: burning potato iso's for an older CDROM
Hello! I'd also give a real cdr media a try if you have previously burned a cdrw... if you have old drives, it's very probable that they can't read cdrws, but I could even read cdrs with two old 1x-speed drives I had.

Hello! I couldn't find any of those files in the debian distribution (searched in contents of the distro on http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages). I know that probably doesn't help you very much, but I have no idea where those libs come from... at least you know now that they aren't from any "free" debian package - could only be in non-free or non-us, perhaps because I don't know if they are included in the search.

RE: Getting to the GUI...
Hi again, > Thanks for the offer of help, the request files follow. Xlog.log is > the output of the startx command. Please note that I edited quite a > bit of XF86Cconfig to compact it. The XF86Config file looks OK to me at first glance, but are you sure that this is the one that actually gets read in? According to the Xlog.log you posted, the file that gets read in is /etc/XF86Config (see below). I seem to recall you mentioned a different location of your file in an earlier post. In /etc/XF86Config, there seems to be a "Screen" section asking for a "Monitor" section named "Primary Monitor" and a "Device" section named "Primary Card", both of which are not supplied in the file you posted and obviously neither in /etc/XF86Config. Hence the error of "none of the configured devices were found". So, try to make sure that the file you posted actually gets read in, and if X still does not work, post the output again and we'll try from there. > Unfortunately, I don't have the manual for the monitor, which is an > off-brand that my son brought home from college with him (Dad inherits the > junk! ;-)) If it has any name at all on it, have you tried typing this into Google? I'm often amazed at what obscure knowledge you can dig up there. If not, try looking up what other monitors of the same size offer and start with conservative guesses (i.e. a little lower, especially if it's an older monitor). But first, some Modelines have to be recognized at all. Getting the right ones would be the second step ;) Hope this helps.

network problem
Dear authorities,I am writing from Turkey and I have a problem with my laptop. I have an IBM Thinkpad 380XD. I'm having trouble with using my laptop in network. I have a PCMCIA Ethernet Card(Compex Linkport ENET-A) and its' driver disket. I am doing everything written in the manuel but I am still having problem. The problem is the network adapter's not being install correctly.(It shows an exclamation when i look it from system/device manager). But I want to inform you about something. My laptop was installed Windows 95 when it came. And also it has a recover CD beside. But a few days ago,i had my computer formatted accidently. So I set up Windows 95 from a different CD-ROM which i got from a friend. Could it be the possible reason for my problem ? If so, How can I overcome it ? If you help me about this subject, I will be very hapy. Thank you very much. Yours sincerely.Orhan FIRAT

It's almost impossible to work out what's happening just from that log; the errors are well separated in time from the log entries surrounding them. Are there any applications that are failing mysteriously? Or do you know what you were doing at the times mentioned in the logs? If no applications are failing, I would say it isn't something to worry about. Otherwise you'll have to look in the first couple of bytes of executable files that might be related to the application in question for those things. Possible causes might be scripts that don't begin with a #! line, or old a.out programs still lying around when you've removed support for a.out in your kernel. The 'file' program will tell you what type a file is. If it doesn't know, then either there's a bug in 'file' or there'll be a problem executing that file. > > >You can remove one entry or all entries by echoing -1 to > > >/proc/.../the_name or /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status." > > > > Try the binfmt-support package in unstable, which should make > > things a little easier to manage. :) > > What is this?

Random reboots & freezes on SMP
[This has also been sent to the linux-smp@vger.kernel.org list, but I thought the debian community might have some insight on the dselect error.] Hi, I have recently had a pile of problems with my Tyan 1832DL based machine. Before adding the second processor, I began having a number of BSoD crashes under Windows 2000 when I had only had one BSoD in the previous year. That was when I decided to move to Linux permanently, combining parts from an older secondary box that was running Linux. Currently, the machine is running: two P2 450's one generic 256MB 10ns ECC Registered SDRAM Voodoo 3000 PCI both on-board IDE buses running, with a IBM 10GB and a Plextor CD-R/W a Adaptech 2940UW SCSI controller with a 4GB and a 10GB IBM drive two 3Com 3C905B PCI-based NICs Creative Lab SoundBlaster AWE32 PnP both serial ports and the parallel ports have been disbaled and I'm running Debian off of the Testing pool with a 2.2.18pre21 kernel. Originally, I didn't think this was a SMP problem because of the Windows crashes and becuase Linux crashed many times before I added the SMP kernel (but after I installed the secnd processor). When I did finally get around to installing SMP and reading the HowTo, I began using the "mem=255M" kernel parameter which vastly improved the situation. I will mention that the most common activity just prior to a freeze/reboot, is playing with dselect, debian's console based front-end to the package manager. One thought I had was that the problem was related to /dev/sdb, where /var was located (and thus dselect had lots of activity), but I have since moved /var to my root at /dev/sda and have had two crashes since then. Now I am down to one or two reboots/freezes a week, but I don't know where to look next. I have double checked my BIOS for allt he recommendations listed in the HowTo, and I haven't found any error messages in any of the logs during any freeze or reboot. Where can I look for clues? Anm
