Nautilus broken (once again)...
Hello,
Nautilus is broken once again on my machine. I use latest unstable.
When I launch it, it just doesn't display anything (either launched from a
terminal or from gnome menu).
If there is no ~/.nautilus/first-time-flag file, then it shows the wirzard
and hangs.
The whole story is that was broken about a week ago, then it worked after
an upgrade of oaf, bonobo and such libraries, then it broke again...
I have got an error message when I do :

printing pdf containing font not recognised by ps printer
Hi, I have a document that contains fonts that are unrecognisable to a postscript printer (hplj2100tn) The fonts are (AFAICT): HMLODN+Universal-GreekwithMathPi AIKCIF+MathPackOne acroread correctly displays the document, but when printing, it is sent to pdf2ps (which is from the gs package) but obviously it just sends the font along to the ps printer (which doesn't recognise the font). Does anyone know about this problem? (I obtained these font names from the error messages of an old acroread on a sun. debian's acroread displays correctly) Thanks, Mark

kmod and NAT broken in 2.4.1?
I built a 2.4.1 kernel from the debianized source, and have noticed a couple of problems: 1) kmod shows no signs of working, though I did compile with this option on. modprobe is able to load the necessary modules. 2) iptables NAT facility doesn't seem to work. I have a line iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.10.0/24 -o eth1 -j SNAT --to-source x.y.z.q where eth1 is connected to my DSL (static IP) and x.y.z.q is the address assigned me. When I trace a ping to x.y.z.1 from a local machine (running NT 4) it looks as if traffic on my router machine flows from eth0 (local subnet) to eth1 and then back to eth1, but that's the end of it. ping works from the router machine. By the way, if anyone has any suggestions for how to trace and diagnose routing problems--in particular to get the history of a single interaction--I'm all ears. I've been mixing counting traffic on the adapters with -j LOG statements in the iptables. I figure this is likely my misunderstanding rather than bugs, so I thought I'd appeal for some wisdom. Thanks. By the way, my return address may not be valid, but the cc should be.
Serial port weirdness
Hi; I just installed Debian on my x86-notebook again (I ran it a lot last year, but never really mastered it), and I tried to run pppconfig to connect, via modem, to my ISP. Alas - it couldn't find my modem. At all. It used to be able to do so. I tried wvdial (just in case); but it didn't find it - it seemed like it couldn't even find that serial port. It asks if I have configured it properly with setserial, or something to that extent (I'm at work now; I'll see if I can dig up the exact error message, if requested). I guess not. It worked fine until a friend helped me get my pcmcia-network card running, last fall - when I returned home from our lan-gathering I couldn't dial up. I've since reformatted my ext2-partition (for various reasons) and reinstalled Debian; but the same problem persists - the serial port that the modem is connected to doesn't seem to work. I'm sure I might have neglected something in the installation process, but what? I currently dual boot Windows and dialing works fine from it. I'd like to get back into running Debian full time as soon as possible. Thanks for reading this letter; Sunna

Have you loaded nfs-common-utils? What does 'rpcinfo -p' on the server say? At least rpc.mountd and rpc.nfsd should have been loaded. Also did I discover that sometimes portmapper is not load automatically, so by doing: /etc/init.d/portmapper restart /etc/init.d/nfs-common restart /etc/init.d/nfs-server restart and rpcinfo -p should display something like: 1 2 tcp 111 portmapper 1 2 ucp 111 portmapper 389 2 tcp ??? mountd 389 2 ucp ??? mountd 385 2 tcp ??? nfsd 385 2 ucp ??? nfsd I cannot remember exactly, just check the most right colom.

I can't say whether this is an "official" way, but I have put my truetype fonts in /usr/local/share/fonts/truetype[1] -directory, run mkttfdir[2] in that directory and added the directory in X FontPath. For XF4, I't sufficient to add 'Load "freetype"' in the Module-section in XF86Config, but with 3.3.x -versions, you need to use a truetype-capable font server. I think that was all there was to it.

The undeliverable message is always spam of some kind, and always addressed to a non-existent user like the one in the subject. The addressee is always [EMAIL PROTECTED] I never see the incoming spam, just the outgoing Mailer-Daemon messages. They usually wind up frozen because the spammer site is refusing connections. Big surprise there. I see between five and ten of these a week. This is making me paranoid because I'm not sure exactly what's going on. I'm fairly certain I have relaying disabled in exim.

Cannot log into any account other than root
When I installed Debian, I selected shadow password and MD5. I can "adduser" and the entries appear in the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files as I expect to see them. However, when I try to log in as that user, the system pauses (for a few seconds) after I enter the password and then tells me "Login incorrect". Can someone help me understand why I can log in as root and not as a user? Do I need to download PAM? Thanks -- Randy

Functionality simular to FreeBSD's jails
Hi, I'm interested if there is exists some software which allows to implement virtual boxes under Linux (something that provide simular capabilities as FreeBSD's jails). The only thing I know about is user-mode linux kernel. Does anybody had experience with it? How stable is it? Is there any limitations? Is there any other alternatives that can run under Linux? -- Ilya Martynov AGAVA Software Company, http://www.agava.com

Debian with read-only /usr
I'm looking at NFS-mounting /usr for a largish number of machines, with the basic idea that then I can just keep the binaries on the central server up-to date and the workstations will all follow along with (hopefully) a minimum of effort. I'm a little concerned about apt, though... I wouldn't expect it to be very open-minded about /usr being read-only. OTOH, I probably wouldn't need to run apt very often on the workstations unless there's a change to config file formats or an all-new package is being installed.

I want to create virtual boxes in which I can give root rights to other people and I want to be sure that they can't break other boxes. AGAIK if you have root you can escape chroot'ed directory. Another problems that root can have direct access to devices. I don't want to allow it. Good solution is really independant virtual boxes which are run from one real.

I had no issue with installing the nvidia drivers on my box other than the fact that is was a long winded process, and getting the glx module to work correctly was a pain. I got kernel-source 2.4.1-3, configured it to my needs, and built the kernel and then the modules with: # make-kpkg kernel_image # make-kpkg modules_image This created two files kernel-image-2.4.1_aaron.1_i386.deb and nvidia-kernel-2.4.1_0.9.6-2_i386.deb which I installed in succession using dpkg. After rebooting, everything was ready (and looked significantly better since I was using the entire 1280x1024 area of the screen.)

Installing a new machine with a selected list of package ...
I would like to install my new laptop with the same packages as those installed on my desktop (which is a sid debian). So I installed a basic potato debian without selecting any packages, then after the first reboot I mount (via NFS) a directory where I stored a debian ftp site mirror plus some specific packages (a home made kernel (build with kernel-package) and such packages (alsa-modules, pcmcia-modules)). I configure apt such that it looks for package on this nfs mounted directory. I then installed my own packages (kernel, pcmcia, etc.) reboot the system, then I do on my desktop dpkg --get-selections > mylist and on my laptop cat mylist | dpkg --set-selections I have then done a : dselect install And all was not right. Dselect have had a lot of problems with some package. I call dselect install a lot of time, and then all seems right, but a lot of stuff does not seems to be well installed (X for instance, even after I copy my own hand-made XF86Config-4). So here is my question : What's the good and efficient way to install a debian box with exactly the same list of packages than another machine ?

RE: ah1542 scsi CD probs, deb potato
Is this the only scsi device attached to the controller ? I remember similar problems when there was a termination problem or a conflict between the assigned scsi id's. Check this first. The 1542 does require you to set the ID on the device and to properly terminate it. Also make sure your cable works fine and that the end of the cable is attached to a device thus not hanging around unattached.

Re: Debian with read-only /usr
Dave - You could always mount the `/usr' filesystem on the server as readonly and use the `remount' option of `mount' to remount `/usr' as writeable during an apt upgrade. The other option would be to export `/usr' readonly, i.e., in the `/etc/exports' on the server.

dear all,
i'm installing ibm's viavoice on debian woody. in converting the rpm
package ViaVoice_runtime-3.0-1.2.i386.rpm to a deb package using alien,
i'm getting the following error:
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: format of libviavoiceps.so not recognized
BUG IN DYNAMIC LINKER ld.so: dl-version.c: 217: _dl_check_map_versions:
Assertion `needed != ((void *)0)' failed!

make: [binary-arch] Error 1 (ignored)
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends}
viavoice-runtime_3.0-2.2_i386.deb generated
does this mean the conversion passed or failed? i have two options--install
this deb package or just install the native rpm package.
anyone care to comment what the best course of action is here?
thanks!

Configuring SSH2 is quite completely different than configuring OpenSSH (and SSH1 for that matter.) What you need to do, is extract your public key from OpenSSH in a format that SSH2 recognizes.

If it's not - check /etc/exports (i think you should add (ro) to the cdrom export - but i'm not sure) and reload portmap and nfsd (i don't know why but sometimes reloading only nfsd didn't work). But this is probably OK - so check logs on server - there you should find the answer (look for mountd and nfsd). It's also possible that you put something in /etc/hosts.allow or hosts.deny that refuses mounting - take a look at these files. And as i remember - rules of access for portmap have to be given with IP-adresses - not domain names. Eg. /etc/hosts.allow This will not work - portmap: host.domain : ALLOW ALL:ALL:DENY - and this should be OK. - portmap: 192.168.1.1 : ALLOW ALL:ALL:DENY - I hope it'll help. tom.
Re: fetchmail at login
You may benefit from also checking out getmail. It's simpler, cleaner and may be less prone to dropping mail (a fact advertised by the author of getmail). I find it works really well, particularly when combined with wmbiff. Wmbiff can be set up to execute getmail whenever its polling detects mail arriving at the server. Since I live in X this works better for me than starting it at login time. I also like that it's written in Python, and therefore theoretically easy to modify.

The closest Linux comes to FreeBSD's "jail" functionality is User-Mode Linux. The home page is http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/. What it is is a port of the 2.4.x Linux kernel to run as a user-level application. It creates a virtual machine with its own root file system, root password, and so on. The applications running in the virtual machine (eg BIND) have no way of knowing that they are running in a virtual machine. If the application in the VM gets hacked, all the attacker gets to is the simulated root, and has *no* access to the host machine (rather, as much access as the administrator gives the vm). Network access goes over a simulated lan on the host machine using Linux's ethernet tap functionality. - -- - -- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG fingerprint: 9BF9 D84C 37D0 4FA7 1F2D 7E5E FD94 D264 50DE 1CFC GPG key id: 50DE1CFC GPG public key: http://tux.creighton.edu/~pbrutsch/gpg-public-key.asc -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6sQQ0/ZTSZFDeHPwRAvasAJsH/jheWQl6MTNJbb9gTvPcxtXO4wCfQKNy /POH7VXL5sqhWtGd2WbI4ac= =6Io3 -END PGP SIGNATURE-
Re: nfs problems

no sound with kernel 2.4.2
Hi everybody, I just compiled the 2.4.2 kernel. Everything is working fine except for the sound. Under kernel 2.2.17 I had this is my /etc/modules: sound mpu401 ad1848 opl3sa2 opl3 options opl3sa2 dma=1 dma2=0 io=0x538 mpu_io=0x330 mss_io=0x530 irq=7 options opl3 io=0x388 I used gom as the mixer. When I booted the 2.4.2 kernel (witeh the same /etc/modules) and tried to play a song I got this: "Cannot open audio device. Please make sure that the audio device is properly configured." And when I try to use gom I get this: gom ERROR: Can't open mixer device special file "/dev/mixer": No such gom: device. Error help: if loading a mixer special file leads to "No such gom: device", then you most likely do have the kernel sound driver gom: not or incorrectly installed.

It's possible that you (I mean - Don) have 'PnP OS Installed' (or
similar) option set to 'Yes' ('enabled' or something...) in BIOS - I had
the same problem with a PCI Ethernet card (IRQ was 0 and it didn't work).
AFAIK this works only under M$-Win - for linux (and probably other OSes)
you have to set this option to 'No' - the BIOS will assign IRQ resources
(when the option set to 'Yes' - BIOS leaves this to OS...).
You can type 'cat /proc/pci' to check yourself IRQ settings that
your linux kernel sees presently for PCI-bus devices.

My concern is with how apt will behave if/when run on the workstations, where /usr will be forced to be ro by the ro export. Many packages include files in /var, /etc, and/or other places besides /usr, some of which (like /etc) are not well-suited to being mounted off a common NFS directory.

Dell OptiPlex GX110
Hi, We received such a machine and I've installed Debian testing/unstable on it. I'm running 2.4.3-pre4 and one problem I was not able to get solved is for DMA/UltraDMA. The box has a Maxtor 20GB 7200rpm 5T020H2 model and whenever I try to set the using_dma flag with hdparm I get an HDPIO_something not permitted. Does anyone has a clue about this? How to enable DMA in this HD. The chipset is i810 with Intel Host Controller (ICH). The kernel detects it correctly, but nothing else. I've tried to pass several parameters to kernel at boot with little success (ide0=dma idebus=66 hda=autotune), that is, the bus speed was set to 66MHz but DMA and PIO optimization were ignored at all, or at least not set.

on upgrading to testing
Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I am not currently subscribing to the list(s). I am looking for an honest opinion. I currently am a Debian 2.2.r2 (with several extensions) user. Because of several circumstances among which are: 1) I manually installed Xfree86-4.0.2 over the stable version to get access to the 3D capabilities--running fine 2) I installed KDE2.1 from Ivan via his potato archives at kde.tdyc.com--running fine 3) kde.tdyc.com is now gone so Ivan has no where to upgrade that tree for us stable users--Ivan has gone far and beyond what most people would have put up with this. I could live with, but for a desire to keep kde 2.1 bug-fixes current via apt-get. 4) I just found out over the web how to use anti-aliasing fonts under kde 2.1 and I would very much like to do that--neat stuff!! 5) I have everything I need to use the anti-aliasing features except the potato version of kde2.1 is not compiled to handle it.-- :-( I understand though! So, to get what I want, I can either 1) bite the bullet and upgrade to 'testing' and install the kde 2.1 packages that have anti-aliasing capability compiled in, or 2) try to build the kde 2.1 packages from source like some have done I really would rather go with option 1. My only concern is the stability, etc. What has been the experience of those who are now running 'testing' ?? And I will listen. Please e-mail responses directly if possible. Thanks... P.S. do I need 'testing' or 'unstable' ? If 'unstable', I will hold. -- James D. Freels, P.E._i, Ph.D. Oak Ridge National Laboratory [EMAIL PROTECTED] - work [EMAIL PROTECTED] - home

I just found a page that might contain what you are looking for: http://www.gnu.org/directory/vsd.html "VSD - Facilitates Linux Virtual Servers within a 'chroot' environment." The Virtual Server Daemon is free software that creates Linux Virtual Servers with the look, feel, and functionality of a dedicated Linux appliance. This lets web servers and other applications be deployed and administered discretely without a security threat. VSD powered servers run just one instance of the Linux kernel per host server. A single Intel P-III with sufficient RAM can service 250 Virtual Servers. VSD was developed for situations where leased lines and server colocation were impossible for financial or technical reasons. VSD creates replicas of a working GNU Linux file system and uses this as a template for Virtual Servers. The replica files (not the entire OS) are 'hardlinked' to the original image, and share the same inode as the original file (which saves disk space). Each replica is assigned a unique IP address, and a user can then log into that Virtual Server transparently using Telnet or FTP. Using 'chroot' software, the user is then 'locked' into the Virtual Server environment and cannot reach adjacent Virtual Servers or the main Operating System files, thus reducing the security risk.

There If your keyboard has fallen out of the socket then you can plug it back in. It should work fine. (Well, if you plug it in nicely. If you touch some wrong pins together the system will reboot :} ) If your keyboard is broken then rebooting will not help you any. And I can't think of anything else that would cause your keyboard to stop responding. I can't think of any way to reboot the system using just the mouse. Just exit X, wait a few seconds and push the power button (if you really, really want to reboot). You will be fine. :}
more nfs problems (thank you all for last time)
sorry folks, i don't know why i didn't tail my syslog on those systems sooner. it would have helped a lot faster. here is my network setup. server/router/etc (truffula.net) eth0 192.168.2.1 (lan2.truffula.net) eth1 externalip eth2 192.168.1.1 (lan1.truffula.net) on eth0 is a hub. on eth2 is a crossover cable to thneed. thneed is the nfs server in this case (192.168.1.10) on the hub swomee (192.168.2.20) grickle (192.168.2.30) lerkim(192.168.2.40) now...i can mount the nfs share fine on truffula.net. since the interface going from it to thneed is 192.168.1.1.but, i can not mount the share from anything on the hub.when i try and mount from a machine on the hub, syslog on thneed reports that it got another mount request from lan1.truffula.net.i belive this has somthing to do with ip masquerading that i'm using. but, i couldn't say for certain. the only solution i can think is to re-export from truffula.net to the machines on the hub. the odd thing about this is, the machines on the hub can ping, nslookup, ssh etc, etc... each other just fine. so, would all machines have to be on the same hub, or is there a way to do this? -- Forrest English http://truffula.net "When we have nothing left to give There will be no reason for us to live But when we have nothing left to lose You will have nothing left to use" -Fugazi

Re: Reboot only w/ mouse.
heh. i've had this happen. if you're luck enough to have the letters "s", "u", either "h", "a", "l", "t" or "r", "e", "b", "o", t" and all the letters in your root password, you can cut and paste your way into a reboot. this has happened to me before, and worked. can you ssh into your machine? that would be easiest of all. pete On Thu 15 Mar 01, 3:14 PM, Mathieu, Barry said: > Trouble. > > My keyboard is not responding (poof - dead), even the LED indicator for caps > lock doesn't > illuminate.

Try adding yourself to the audio group. I'm already a member of the audio group ! Otherwise I wouldn't be able to play music using the 2.2.17 kernel. Even root gets an error trying to run gom.
