DHCP problems
A heads-up for anyone experiencing network connectivity problems. It seems that both the 'testing' and the 'unstable' debian trees are missing the 'dhcpcd' utility. I spent the better part of 5 hours (I am new to this ...) figuring out why I couldn't connect to my cable ISP. Turns out that dhcp wasn't working. It was working just fine until I recently did a apt-get dist-upgrade instead of the normal apt-get upgrade I have been using before. For some reason or other this removed dhcpcd (does a file get removed if it isn't in the distribution tree any more ?). After a LOT of digging (hey, I now know how to set up ethernet connectivity without DHCP) I found the problem - the missing dhcpcd program. I don't know who I should tell about this so it gets fixed in the distribution so I am posting this here. Jens

cdrom won't mount
I am losing my mind over this. If I don't fix this by tomorrow I am starting over. I am running a pretty straight up 2.2.r2 install. I downloaded the 2.4.2 kernel to play around a little, but when back to 2.2.18pre21, because I just didn't have the time to figure out why lp no longer worked (something with modutils and other dependencies, I think, but I don't really care any more.) Perhaps the new ppp I needed to work with the 2.4.2 kernel interferes, but I don't know how to step it back down. Anyway the crux is now when I try: #>mount /cdrom mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom, or too many mounted file systems is what I get. I have read several dozen postings about this problem, but no solutions. There is a CD in there, it is not already mounted, and it is not an audio CD. It is not a hardware problem, as audio will play, and I can still boot the Debian CDs as rescue. Also, I can boot up the 2.4.2 kernel and 'mount /cdrom' works. I recompiled the 2.2.18pre21 kernel and mounting /cdrom still won't work. I browsed around /proc and it looks like it sees the cdrom, iso9660 support is built in, I am just at a lost.

virtual terminals
hey folks. i was just wondering about virtual terms -- is there an easy way to change how many there are? debian seems to default at 6 running getty, and X opens up 7. presumably i can use as many as 12? how does this work? is it as simple as running getty from init, or is there a kernel definition somewhere that specifies how many i can have, or a little of both? is there some documentation on the subject somewhere? -- Alexander Poquet| We leave the obvious generalizations to the [EMAIL PROTECTED]| reader. -- Israel Herstein Use of PGP preferable in reply | Use Linux! pgpFXolmkpsQm.pgp Description: PGP signature

I think up until kernel 1.1.54 you had to recompile to change the number of virtual consoles. Now you can just add a line in /etc/inittab: 8:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty8 This will give you another console on cntrl-alt-f8 after a reboot. Be careful using tty7 to avoid an X conflict--I don't know what would happen if getty and X both tried to use the same device. There's a huge number of tty's available (try ls /dev/tty*), but I suppose you're limited to 12, one for each of the F keys.

compiling kernel modules [fixed]
Ok, I managed to compile the kernel module successfully.
/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.headers file was the starting point
to understanding. The file contains a hint about using -I to compile
against the exact kernel headers required. I also had to use the
-nostdinc flag to gcc, and add other paths to the -I list in the
Makefile as I discovered them missing. (Missing as a result of
-nostdinc.)
In the end, it wasn't as easy as I had hoped, but at least I managed to
work out the problem. The worst part is how long it takes to generate
the kernel-{source,headers,docs,binary} packages -- I need a faster
machine.
Here's hoping someone else is saved the few hours it took me to find the
Right Answer to the problem. :)

apache not running cgi-scripts
I am running unstable with apache and I'm trying to run php scripts. I've tried using both php3 and php4. When I run connect to the server it sends the contents of the script instead of what the script should be printing out. I uncommented the load_module php line in httpd.conf and enabled everything that looked like it might have to do with php or scripts (with the notable exception of setting script alias /cgi-bin/ to the directory where the scripts live (because the scripts live in the main directory, it didn't seem to make sense to alias cgi-bin to it...)). I tried sticking a perl script in the same folder with the same results. All scripts have global read/execute permissions or are readable/executable by www-data (I can't remember which way I did it...) Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks, Nick Urban

Windowmanager for gnome/sid
Hi, I recently upgraded my workstation to sid. But now for some reason the windowmanager has changed to the x-window-manager (wmaker in my case). I tried changeing /etc/gnome/default.wm to gnome-wm, setting WINDOW_MANAGER to /usr/bin/sawfish in my .zshenv, changeing .gnome/default.wm to /usr/bin/sawfish and removing all my .gnome files and directories. The strange thing is that the startup screen of gnome says starting gnome window manager, and then later it says starting sawfish, which never happens since wmaker is already started. Does anybody know what config file is broken? Greets, Ruben

Re: cdrom won't mount
It's not a problem with my fstab: /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 as I have not problem mounting if I reboot with 2.4.2. And changing iso9660 to auto, doesn't work either. And /proc/filesystems shows: ext2 msdos vfat nodev proc iso9660 nodev autofs nodev devpts I am just stuck with why mounting the cdrom broke under 2.2.18.

The kernel will only detect it if it knows to look for it. Without having support compiled in or as a module for that card, the kernel will do nothing with it.

Several installation kernels were built without the unix.o module which is kind of unfortunate. But this normally is just a hiccup, e.g. Linux version 2.2.15 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.95.2 2313 (Debian GNU/Linux)) #1 Tue Apr 25 17:13:48 EST 2000 ...

I guess you just need to copy a kernel like your hard disk one (which contains unix.o as built-in) onto a (copy of a) rescue disk. It should easily fit as installation kernels are so bloated. Then you can work on fixing lilo.

You have perl-5.005, so my advice doesn't apply yet (Bob had perl-5.6). If you haven't upgraded your version of perl yet, don't worry about debconf until you do. If you're trying to get the libpaperg in testing installed, though, you might try 'apt-get install perl' first. All this should be straightened out by the time woody goes stable, I hope ...

(especially with the case of >Debc(C)onf) *shrug* That just indicates you're using an old debconf, because the Perl modules have moved since and the old ones are deprecated. This is really a problem with testing being hideously inconsistent at the moment; if you're running testing because you like it being mostly stable, please wait a while before upgrading (i.e. until the new debconf gets in). >Also - I have no Idea wether these config files are the sort of things >that I should be editing :) - but oh well - it worked Not usually, and if libpaperg is upgraded then you'll have to do it again. :) Sometimes these things are necessary with semi-stable distributions, though. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
startx not passing options to server?
I recently downgraded from XFree 4 to 3.3.6 (the one in Potato). I also made sure to downgrade xbase-clients and xserver-svga (the server I'm using). Then, I recreated my XF86Config file. I have my XF86Config file set up so that there is only one resolution choice for each color depth. That way, I can simply use the '-bpp' option to force X to use a particular resolution as well as color depth. This all worked fine under version 4. But now, when I do startx -- -bpp it does not choose the desired color depth and resolution. It always goes to the default depth that I specify in XF86Config. The error output shows no sign that it tried and rejected a particular depth or resolution. However, X -bpp chooses the color depth and resolution just fine, as the error output shows me. Has anyone seen this before? Where should I start looking for a handle on this problem? It might be because of the "downgrade"; I really don't know. TIA.

Sorry, Karsten, I've no solution. This is just a "me too" reply. I'm using woody, but the xfree86 in woody is the same package as sid. I'm hoping you have solved this perplexing problem since you posted, but just in case you haven't, I just wanted to know a couple of things, like: Do you use the: Option "DPMS" in XF86Config-4? I've never got this to work, so I've always used: xset dpms 0 0 2400 in my ~/.xsession file. This has worked until the recent upgrade.

Netscape often hangs
Hi, I use Netscape 4.76 together with Debian 2.2r2. Very often when I start Nescape and click its menu bar the cursor changes and all of X freezes (btw, I'm running Gnome). I then have to switch to the console and kill Netscape in order to continue working with X. What might be causing this problem? TIA, Felix
Customizing a source package (how to patch a deb-src?)
Suppose that I want to (1) specify my own flags to ./configure, and (2) apply a patch of my own to an app's source tree before the deb source package builds. Is this achievable with debian source packages? If yes, any pointers would be highly appreciated. Many thanks, -- Arcady Genkin Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

sound compiled into kernel as opposed to a module
I have a es1371 card and I've compiled support into the kernel (not as a module). How does the install process differ? Before all I had to do was go into modconf and select it. Now I'm not sure what to do. It is detecting the card on bootup. I see it in /proc/devices and /proc/interrupts but if I cat something to /dev/dsp, I don't get any sound. What else do I need to do to make it work? -- Charles Lewis [EMAIL PROTECTED] 817-556-4720
