Now I don't remember the make of the mainboard, but I think that this might work for me as well. (That computer of mine is at home, not connected with the net, I'm writing this using another computer at work.) My system is (for some reason by someone, because it has been working, I haven't changed it) as follows: 1 Gb hdd as hda, debian boots from this HP cd-writer as hdd ___ 1) Should I try to change my cd into hdb and that IBM as hdc? 2) Or should it work, if I put IBM as hdc, but don't change anything else? I've actually tried already 2), but didn't get it working. Which program (fdisk?) should I use to check, if I can do anything with that BM hdd? -hv

Building modules
--- =_aa0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I essentially build and install my kernel as follows (I've included
the full script in case someone finds it useful):
make-kpkg --revision=${revision} kernel_image
dpkg -i ../kernel-image-${version}_${revision}_i386.deb
My question is this: How do I add modules to /lib/modules?
For example, I found that I neglected to include the lp modules and
want to build and install them in a similar Debian-fashioned way but
without doing a full kernel install and reboot. The docs indicated
that this might do it:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:503]# make-kpkg modules_image
[...compilation deleted...]
for module in ; do
...
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: `for module in ; do
But alas, it did not. make-kpkg modules_image appears to be more for
addons in /usr/src/modules (which does not yet exist on my system,
but creating it didn't help) rather than mainstreamed modules.
Suggestions?

package naming?!
Hello! I'm using testing and while installing on my system I've noticed some thing about the available package names. Examples: If you want to _use_ telnet. Install package telnet. If you want to _provide_ telnet. Install package telnetd. If you want to _use_ ftp. Install package ftp. If you want to _provide_ ftp. Install package ftpd. If you want to _use_ ssh. Install package ssh. If you want to _provide_ ssh... Oh, there is no sshd. This is part of ssh. Maybe it would be more convenient if this is the same to all packages. To use the service you can start with the package of the services name. (Sure there are alternatives) If you want to provide a service use d to install the daemon... Or is there any problem with this naming convention? Andre
Re: net mask

The -26 release of libpam-modules seems to have a broken refference to the file /lib/security/pam_condev.so, you can get the old package at ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/pam/libpam-modules/libpam-modules_0.72-25_i386.deb or use your cached copy if you still have it.

Re: big IBM harddisk
Hi, Some more info. 1) Make sure your system boots using your 1 Gb hdd 2) Check what your kernel says about hdd's (dmesg is your friend) 3) Once you have found it use (c)fdisk to create partitions, and add filesystems using the normal tools 4) mount em somewhere This *should* work for all. One tip to prevent bios crap: 1) connect the 1 Gb and CDROM to your mainboard 2) power-on and go to bios, do autodetect 3) check that the Secondary master and slave are set to NONE 4) save settings 5) power down 6) connect the Big One as Secondary Master 7) Power On (DO NOT GO TO BIOS TO TELL IT ABOUT THE BIG ONE) This way you leave all the work that needs to be done to your kernel. If i try to autodetect my IBM the Abit stops responding.. The wisedom behind : Put the 40 gb drive in as hdc, and cdrom as hdb: Loads of controllers have to talk to both drives (on the same cable) in the same way. This means that both of them run at the maximum speed of the slowest drive. Putting the Big One on it's own cable allows for maximum speed. There are controllers who are smarter than this, check out if yours is. btw, i made a typo... my drive is a DTLA-305040, not a DLTA-304050 (whoepsy) regards, Nico de Haer - Original Message - From: virtanen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: nico de haer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2001 7:37 AM Subject: Re: big IBM harddisk > On Mon, 25 Jun 2001, nico de haer wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I own a IBM DTLA 304050 (41.1 Gb) and i have the same problem using it on my > > Abit LX6 mainboard. > > To solve it i installed a second hdd (old 1 gb seagate) as hda (told bios > > about it) the ibm as hdc (did NOT tell bios about it) and my cdrom is > > connected as hdb.

hi, if run cpan and install perl 5.6 on potato it should be installed in /usr/local/lib/site_perl/. So it should be possible to have the potato perl 5.005 with latest 5.6.1 togeather on the same machine without breaking dependencies. in that case the debian packages would use perl 5.005 while my programs could use 5.6.1 when i specify '!/usr/local/bin/perl'. am i getting something wrong? thx martin -- GnuPG 1024D/3E8DCCC0 30DC 1D28 1D79 32F5 5E67 3ABB 28EE B35A 3E8D CCC0 work: factline Krisper Fabro Harnoncourt OEG (www.factline.com)

I have a couple of books on networking I recently purchased, and will read them and the ip-subnetworking howto that you suggest. I couldn't help but wonder if the calculator gave the correct answer. I put my own ip in and it didn't answer with the subnet mask that my isp gave me. I then downloaded a newer version of the calculator, that was several versions newer, and it still didn't give the same subnet mask my isp gave me. So I figured I had better start doing some reading. I assumed the calculator would give a proper answer, but I should have known it wouldn't be that simple when it comes to networking. There is one thing that I hope you don't mind me pointing out to you Nico. It is considered unpolite netiquette to 'cc' someone in on your reply to the mailing list, unless they have requested it. I have seen some people respond as if they consider it to be pretty rude. It's no big deal to me, but in the future you might want to reply to the mailing list only, fyi.

Re: big IBM harddisk
Hi all, I have a (bold) idea that *might* solve the "My bios does not see my Big HDD" problem. There are several 'magical' boundries in bios/hdd land created in the last years. these are: 2.1 Gb (mostly on 486) 8.4 Gb (Pentium class mostly) 32.8 Gb (even recent pc's have this one) note: Don't kill me if i'm off a bit (or byte) here. Along the way software solutions where developed (Ontrack, EZDrive) to overcome these problems. Most (if not all) go into the MBR. To use em your bios MUST be able to load the MBR. If this is not the case, most hdd's offer a *special* jumer setting to report a smaller size to the bios. Later, the diskmanager software re-enables you to use the full capacity of the hdd. As we linux guys/girls use Lilo/Grub, the mbr is already used. (I know, you don't have to put em in the mbr, but this is the most commen to put it in the mbr) As a lot of you have noticed, Linux is quite able to handle hdd's without the bios knowing about it. So my conclusion is that all we need the bios to do is "get the kernel running" and after that, linux can take over, controlling your hdd's My idea: 1) set the jumper to the *special* setting 2) Use autodetect in bios (*should* find a smaller hdd than you have installed) At this point, you *should* be able to boot using your big hdd. If you stop here, you loose a lot of diskspace (in my case, my ibm reports 32 gb instead of 41 so i 'loose' 9 gb). After reading doc's in my kernel source (2.2.19pre21) if found that i can share my opinion about c/h/s settings with my kernel by adding "hdx=c/h/s" as a parameter. 3) add hdx=c/h/s to lilo.conf or whatever you use to tell the kernel something. I hope that this is the key to get full drive capacity back without a diskmanager. I haven't tried it yet, i'd like your opinion about it. Is it sane or stupid ? Is it the solution or *just* the first step? btw, i've mailed this idea to Mark Lord (maintainer of ide code in the kernel) the other day, and i hope to hear from him soon. Feedback please!

Re: net mask
Hi, About the calulator: The subnetmask it calcultates is sane but assumes that there is no sub (or super) networking going on. This is the source of loads of confusion about classes vs netmasks (i've had to convince several that they *are* related but *not* the same). Happy reading.

I have a couple of books on networking I recently purchased, and will read them and the ip-subnetworking howto that you suggest. I couldn't help but wonder if the calculator gave the correct answer. I put my own ip in and it didn't answer with the subnet mask that my isp gave me. I then downloaded a newer version of the calculator, that was several versions newer, and it still didn't give the same subnet mask my isp gave me. So I figured I had better start doing some reading. I assumed the calculator would give a proper answer, but I should have known it wouldn't be that simple when it comes to networking. There is one thing that I hope you don't mind me pointing out to you Nico. It is considered unpolite netiquette to 'cc' someone in on your reply to the mailing list, unless they have requested it. I have seen some people respond as if they consider it to be pretty rude. It's no big deal to me, but in the future you might want to reply to the mailing list only, fyi.

OT: C++ Newbie and KDE/QT
This summer holiday I took on the task of learning C++ with (shamefully :) the help of C++ For Dummies. Having tried to learn C++ in the past I'm now reasonably familar with it's synax so i thought i'd also try learning QT/KDE programming at the same time. But the tutorials I've been through on the doc.trolltech.com site have left me a little disappointed. Does anyone know of a good site where QT/KDE programming is explained? And what did you start with when learning C++? any suggestions are appreciated.

Exactly. > Suggestions? All you want is to rebuild the lp modules in the kernel source. But it is easier to just rebuild your entire kernel, with lp added to the config. Then upgrade the kernel-image, it will replace the kernel without lp cleanly (another advantage of make-kpkg). Maybe it is possible to only rebuild the lp.o objects and simply insmod them into your original kernel. YMMV. You will have to add the lp.o file to /lib/modules by hand and dpkg will not clean it up when you dpkg -r the kernel-image it belongs to. Cheers, Joost

A normal ide/atapi cdrom, or any cdrw used as plain cdrom only should not need any of it.

0.0.0.0
it's just a little undocumented trick to make local DNS requests not
go via the expensive route of the IP stack, but rather through a local
socket.
pppconfig should really be able to do DNS stuff itself, or you should
write something for /etc/ppp/ip-{up,down}.d. A BIND installation is
cumbersome, eats resources, and is absolutely unecessary on a
workstation. nscd if all fails, but not bind.

It's /dev/3dfx, and you don't create it manually. Get the device3dfx-source
package. Build the deb from that (make-kpkg, it's in the README), and when you
install the deb, it'll load the module and create the dev entry.

[ ? ] Locked out after recent dselect upgrade
Yesterday I did what has become a pretty standard dselect update and install. But something went very wrong with yesterday's upgrade. I can no longer log into my workstation as root, myself or any other user remotely or at the local console. In fact, at the local console the login fails without asking for a password. I'm pretty sure that I should be able to reboot and do something like: linux init=/bin/sh or: linux single to get root access again, but I would still be at a loss as to how I could correct the lockout problem. Any thoughts? Thanks, m
Re: Careers in Linux
Hi it depends what direction you're heading. if you want to join MIS or IT departments then, there are issues that are much more important then C. you should learn a lot(!!!) about networking, routers, firewalls etc... . also, you should know at least perl and bash (or tcsh). knowing C could be a great help, but I'm a unix administrator and I've never written a single line in C (except "hello world" :-)). another important thing is that I never met a "Linux" system administrator. you should learn a lot about other unix based OS's as well. most important are IRIX (in my opinion, the best) Solaris, FreeBSD etc...

Broken SID. Cannot login from console
I updated my apt sources today 26 June and then allowed deselect to upgrade packages that needed upgrading. ~=130MB. I rebooted and now I cannot login. The window manager loads but does not show the use accounts (served via yp). Ok. So maybe yp is broken. But this should be no big deal because I have a good /etc/password file containing important accounts. The real problem is, if I go to console 1 and try to login as root, I cannot. I type "root" and hit enter. Then I *never* see the "password:" prompt. The system simply pauses for a second after I hit enter, and then says that I don't have permission to login. I also cannot login via ssh remotely. Any ideas? Hints?

Re: Using different DNS per ISP
You could just find a nameserver out there somewhere to use that doesn't restrict lookups in the way your ISP's do (I'm not sure why they're doing that anyway.) There are plenty of them out there and they would probably work just as well (obviously the closer/faster the traffic to the DNS server you use the better performance you will see.) vector On Tue, 26 Jun 2001, Marcus wrote: > > I'm using two different ISPs depending on time of day, and cost. > Problem is that they will only accept their own nameserver under > /etc/resolv.conf.

Likely because you're only moeaningfully [EMAIL PROTECTED] on free.fr's mail server. You appear to have told your exim that your own machine is the correct place to deliver all @free.fr mail to. That is likely not the case (or else sell that domain for lots of fr.fr. and stop trying to be an isp until you figure out these "details"). ;-) What you need to do is tell exim that you are really only authoritative for mylinuxbox.myphonydomain.org and that it should send out all mail for all other destinations via free.fr's mail relay. If you do not do the latter, then you may find that some mailservers think that you're a spammer. Then configure fetchmail and tell it that "user robin.jag is user foo here", or something along those lines (rtfm - my memory is weak here). > mutt an balsa gives the same result. Fix your personal configuration to set a custom "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" header on any mails you write. That is only a message header and will not confuse any mta's, but will hint people's mua's where to reply to. The only disadvantage is having to do this for all mua's independently. But then fixing it in exim is slightly more than a trivial excercise. Try it the simple way first. Cheers, Joost

deselect & aptitude show different packages !!!
Hi
I am using ustable, with kernel 2.4.5. Aptitude shows many more packages
than deselect . Moreover while deselect shows no broken dependencies
aptitude shows that some installed packages are broken ("iB" in red).
I am perplexed by this. Any ideas what may be going wrong ? Which
should I use to install packages ? . Does aptitude inform the user in advance
of possible conflicts like deselect does ?
I wonder if my source list has any thing to do with this. I kind of cooked it
up myself (and was not to sure) but it work ; and I would like to be with
the latest unstable distribution ? (sources.list are attached)

Re: pam broken in sid

Me too. The other ways mentioned here are probably better, but here's
what I did, just for the record...
I had another Debian install on another partition (and I think I'm going
to keep it for just such emergencies). I booted to that and downloaded
libpam-modules, libpam0g, libpam-runtime from the testing branch.
Then, mounted the partitions with the broken PAM on /mnt and:
dpkg --root=/mnt -i libpam*.deb
lilo -r /mnt # ('cuz I'd hosed my LILO in an earlier attempt)
...and rebooted.
Good luck.

Maybe you forgot to search the web for "samba username map linux domain" Try google, it came up with many good-looking hits and hints when I tried just now. I never had to deal with this stuff myself, but I do remember reading about it in the samba docs when I last did that. I took a look and I saw I had no username.map file. I neither had any smb.conf file. I run smbpasswd and created a user named adri. Then I edited the username.map file with a Debian_user = NT_domain_user row. I also asked to my admin to erase and recreate a record for my machine in the domain, since I read this was necessary for samba to successfully join the domain. I restarted samba (etc/init.d/samba restart) Then I got a different error message; this time it was "NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT" So my changes produced an effect, though not the hoped one.

Re: Pluggin in Galeon
> Galeon is a great brower but is there any pluggin > like flash, java work under it? Pluggin for network > work well (most of the time) just wanna switch to > galeon ASAP coz it is cool =) galeon is to a large extent just a front-end to mozilla (I don't mean that negatively towards galeon). Install plug-ins for mozilla and they should work with galeon. I don't know if galeon has it's own plug-in directory or not, but I don't think it does or should. In fact, you *have* to have mozilla already installed to use it, so why duplicate plug-ins ?? Also, if there isn't a plug-in specifically for mozilla, ones designed for the "old" Netscape browser, navigator, are supposed to work. Hall

now that testing's ssh goes out on the net to do reverse namelookups, I, again, am looking in ways to provide reverse DNS lookups preferrably without having to run bind. any pointers? What I want is "host myhost.local.domain" to work. "host localhost." (yes with a trailing dot) works, but other names for my local machine choke:( some config files $ cat /etc/host.conf order hosts,bind multi on $ cat /etc/resolv.conf domain local.domain nameserver ipnr-of-isp's-nameserver $ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.1 myhost.local.domain myhost $ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf # /etc/nsswitch.conf # # Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality. # If you have the `glibc-doc' and `info' packages installed, try: # `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file. passwd: compat group: compat shadow: compat hosts: files dns networks: files protocols: db files services: db files ethers: db files rpc:db files netgroup: nis -- groetjes, carel

No, apt will still try to upgrade it if file sizes and md5sums etc. don't match. Edit debian/changelog in the source and add an entry at the top numbered 1.2.5-4.0.1 (generally, add 0.0.1 to the version number) and the packaging system won't try to "upgrade" the package until a genuinely new version comes along. >what is the preferred method of resolving this? place a hold on the >local package? That works too, but you might miss genuine upgrades. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For some reason it was probably started or has a default config file somewhere with /root as the current directory. The next time it is run it uses the same. Maybe it has the default of using root's home directory? Maybe it is run by root (during startup of system) and thinks it should use $HOME (/root) as the default dir, but when you run it later as joeuser it uses $HOME (/home/joeuser) as the current directory. I don't know why it would do that, just some speculation on the matter. You can probably find a config file (maybe ~/.gnome/quicklanuch) where the current working directory is installed and you can set it to what you want. It may even allow configuring by right clicking on the applet and select "Properties" in the menu. I'm really not sure because I don't use that applet (in fact, at the moment I hardly have any applets because gnome-applets isn't in woody). -D

As for learning C++ -- it is big and complicated and the little details will get you. I would recommend starting out with an easier language to get the basics of programming down first. Then move into C++ once you understand how to program. I highly recommend Python as an easy, powerful, and clean language to learn. It also allows you to choose the most appropriate paradigm -- you can start out procedurally (simpler) and move into OO (class-based) when you are ready for it. Alan Gauld has an excellent tutorial for beginners at http://www.crosswinds.net/~agauld. Python also has bindings to Qt (PyQt) so you can do Qt/KDE programming using Python and forget about the headaches that C++ can give you. If you decide to try python, check out the tutor mailing list, it is very helpful (tutor@python.org, http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor). You may also want to try Java. It is basically C++ with pointers, manual memory management, and freestanding functions removed. Also the class definition conicides with the declaration (not in 2 separate files). Its syntax is nearly identical, yet it simplifies quite a few things. IMO Python is much better designed, much easier to use, and more powerful (and flexible) than Java. -D

SID USERS READ THIS!
This message is for all sid users who have a broken PAM : The message referenced below was sent to debian-devel-announce last night. It is from the PAM maintainer and explains what happened and how to fix your system. Read it, then go subscribe to debian-devel-announce so you get these sort of announcements. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce-0106/msg00011.html Sorry for the tone of this message, but it is rather annoying to see numerous threads on debain-user repeating the same "how do I fix unstable" question when the answer was already sent by the maintainer (not to mention several different techniques already discussed on -user). -D

single-user mode? strange
I recently ran dselect and did an upgrade with unstable which had the result that I can't log in at all (typing 'root' at the login promt returns Login Incorrect, I don't even get to try the password, similar results with the kdm login screen). My first thought was to boot into single user mode and try and work things out from there, not sure how but it was a place to start. I searched the archives and found several messages saying that to boot into single user mode I need to add the 'single' option at my lilo boot: prompt. So I tried 'Linux single' 'Linux Single' 'LinuxText single' 'LinuxText2.4.3 single' and was inevitablly put into normal multi user mode. My normal kernel is 2.4.5, but you can see I also tried 2.4.3. Any suggestions? I'm going to try using a boot floppy and such, but I would still like to know how to get into single-user mode... Thanks, -Dan P.S. Please CC responses to my email, thanks

I *have* seen behaviour like this before, but the other way around. I have been trying to get my system to talk dutch to my flatmate (she has an account of her own), and I ran into the problem that dutch was defined as nl_NL.ISO-8859-1 in /etc/locale.alias, but as nl_NL.ISO8859-1 in /usr/X11/lib/locale/locale.alias (note the missing dash). Fooling around with those config files is slowly bringing me nearer to a dutch system here, so maybe your gmc failing is related? Mart pgpQQ5sorrueO.pgp Description: PGP signature
