StarOffice can't find anything
Greetings! After doing a major update to unstable last week, I find that Star Office won't start. It can't find shared libraries in its own lib directory. So I save my work and schedule and decide to wipeout and reinstall. Same prob - /cdrom/linux/office51/setup returns ./setup: error while loading shared libraries: ./setup: undefined symbol: atexit atexit is certainly present on the system in /usr/lib/perl/5.6.1 and in /usr/lib/python2.0 and as a man page. Wonder what's happening? I do my invoicing and job tracking in StarOffice. About time I changed to gnumeric I suppose. But meanwhile I need to use that stuff. Nick

Re: StarOffice can't find anything
Are you running *testing*, or are you running *unstable*? The current version of libc6 in unstable is 2.2.4-1, and the version of libc6 that has the atexit flaw is 2.2.3-10. It sounds like you haven't updated your box since installing the flawed library package. So. The *unstable* distribution is known as "Sid". The *testing* distribution is known as "Woody".

How to upgrade stable -> testing today, avoiding the libdb.so.3 bug.
Hi Ben,
Thanks for your great work!
I see you've got a very important bug marked closed:
libdb2 breakage when upgrading from potato to woody
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=107636&repeatmerged=yes
Would you kindly take a moment to give us the procedure of
how to upgrade stable -> testing today, avoiding the libdb.so.3 bug?
("today", so we are able to do this upgrade without
having to wait for updates to propagate from unstable to testing.)
Several list readers have been very helpful with replies on this topic
already.
(See:
libdb.so.3 woody upgrade failure-bug - Please help.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2001/debian-user-200108/msg03557.html
Potato to woody problem
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2001/debian-user-200108/msg03612.html
)
I'm greatful for their work monitoring the lists and answering questions
(Thanks! :) ) and suspect they probably have the gist of it correct.
But, since there have been some, perhaps crucial, differences
in their suggestions, I think it could save many upgraders many hours
of some trial & error if you (someone who should be _certain_ about all
the details) would give us an exact procedure.
Your help here would enable the Debian community to put more time into
progress rather than re-searching & some trial & error.
Judging from the # of bugs I've seen you've closed I'm sure you're
very busy.
Would you please take a moment, though, to provide a short, but _specific_,
_complete_ procedure for accomplishing a s -> t upgrade, as of today?
(Something along the lines of:
1. Install a minimal Potato system (no packages selected from the
automatic Tasksel that runs during install. Merely the ~5 MB of
debs the installer puts in on its own. And don't put _anything_
else in.)
2. Change /etc/sources.list: stable -> testing .
3. apt-get update
4. - Now here's what I'm not sure _exactly_ what should come next.
Do we need to ftp down some debs first?
(And if so, put them where?
/var/cache/apt/archives ?)
Do we need to "dpkg -(something)" some specific packages?
(What exact package names?)
Do we need to "apt-get install" some specific packages?
(What exact package names? libc6? libdb2? dpkg?)
Or, would it be better to do an apt-get using preferences,
similar to what is described in:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2001/debian-kde-200108/msg00156.html ?
(And, if so, what are the exact steps & files to dl, configure, and install
using which commands?)
Do we then do an "apt-get dist-upgrade"
Something else???
)
Thank you so much for your help. :)
Also, when
1. by time (as in days) and
2. by process (perhaps as in "when the packages are automatically moved
from unstable to testing")
should we be able to skip the procedure you provided above,
and just do a straight "apt-get dist-upgrade"
to successfully accomplish the upgrade?
Lastly, to provide some foundation for understanding as we do the
above installation steps:
In just a few sentences, what was the cause(s) of the bug?
(Perhaps something like: "Libs __ were moved from package _ to ___,
and some dependencies were overlooked when that was initially done.")
Thanks again for your time and great work! :)

Err, I think I would rather have titled that message: "How to accomplish a fresh install of today's Woody system." rather than "How to upgrade ...", because I the procedure I gave there (and want) is about doing a fresh install. Of course, the answer is relevant to doing an upgrade of an existing system, nontheless, I suppose. __ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!

[Slightly OT] Linux's 10th Birthday
Please excuse me if this is slightly OT, but it's important stuff!! I went to Linus' book-signing in Stockholm yesterday and finally got to meet our hero in person. The event was organized as a kind of "press conference", where the "press" were the people waiting to buy a signed copy of the book. My guess, from looking at the number of "got root?" t-shirts versus the rest, is that of about 200 people present, less than half were actual Linux enthusiasts, the rest being those merely interested in the Linux phenomenon, and/or waiting to meet Linus. We got the chance to ask Linus some questions, but as soon as people started to get technical he asked us to tone it down to a more general level. So I asked him the question I posed here back in January (with no response): "When exactly is Linux's 10th birthday?" Linus thought for a moment, then said "Well it depends who you ask: My first posting to comp.os.minix, when I announced that I was working on Linux, was on August 25th, but the first time I made the souce code available for version 0.01 was September 17th. I would say, if you want to be really certain, you should party on both days." So it sound as if Linux, like the Queen of England, has two birthdays. Linus apparently has no strong feelings about which is the "official" one, so... Party, Party! -- Best regards, Peter Hugosson-Miller "Linux - the choice of a GNU generation!"

Re: libdb.so.3: Potato->Woody

Quake3 & ymfpci
Hi, Tried to play Quake3. unfortunately there is no sound output. This is the error that it gives. I did search at google. it showed some relevant posts with respect to alsa saying that was problem. However I am using the driver that comes with the kernel. I am using 2.4.9 kernel. I have a YMF-742F card. --- sound initialization --- Sorry but your soundcard can't do this - regards harsha -- Chaos is found in the greatest abundance wherever order is being sought.

That doesn't explain what happened with the upgrade, but it could have something to do with the keymap. I remember something in a recent woody (testing) upgrade that asked if I wanted to use my current config file or something like that and the word keymap was in it. I just chose the default, N, as I recall. I'm sorry that I don't recall what that was. You might be able to check if it has something to do with this, by going into Single and adding those two links into /etc/rc2.d. I just double checked and it appears that the second one is a broken link, because keymaps-lct.sh does not appear in my /etc/init.d directory. So just go to /etc/rc2.d (or whatever runlevel you use) and do: ln -s /etc/init.d/keymap.sh S05keymap.sh and see what happens when you reboot. Meanwhile, maybe someone knows where to look for the config file that might have got changed. I found something called /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz and there is an old one too. It looks like mine was updated on the last upgrade. Maybe that has something to do with it. I don't really know how it all works; so I can't give you any real answer. Sorry. Anita

I've looked recently at the Enlightened desktop and have found that the menu list is not as complete as the GNOME menu bar (I'm assuming that's what you mean) Go to your home directory, you should see an .enlightenment subdirectory.

QUANTUM UNVEILS INVESTMENT IN PEOPLESTREET.
New York, NY., August 17, 2001 PEOPLESTREET ("Peoplestreet" or the
"Company", nears FINAL Series B closing with a
commitment from Quantum Venture Partners.
As per the following Press Release by MICROSOFT:
Microsoft and Peoplestreet Announce Alliance to Offer LiveCards To Users
of Windows XP; Peoplestreet to Be Showcased in the New Windows Catalog
Redmond, Wash. and Cambridge, Mass. , Aug. 6, 2001 -- Microsoft and
PeoplestreetTM, the leading provider of Personalized Relationship
Marketing Services (PeRM), today announced a strategic alliance that
will bring the power of Peoplestreet LiveCardsTM to users of the
Microsoft(r) Windows(r) XP operating system.
As part of this alliance and Peoplestreet's commitment to meet or exceed
the Designed for Windows XP specifications, Microsoft will showcase
Peoplestreet in the new Windows Catalog, offering users of Windows XP a
direct link to Peoplestreet, where they can create and send
self-updating electronic business cards called LiveCards. Once on the
Peoplestreet site, users will have the ability to download the LiveCard
Companion for Outlook(r), offering them the ability to store and send
LiveCards directly within the Outlook(r) messaging and collaboration
client. In addition, Peoplestreet will support single sign-in with
Microsoft Passport, speeding the login and registration process.
"Peoplestreet's Services complement the Microsoft .NET strategy of
developing XML-based Web services that integrate across multiple systems
and devices," said Sanjay Parthasarathy, vice president of Platform
Strategy at Microsoft. "With LiveCards, businesses running Windows XP
have a new customer retention and loyalty tool, without having to change
the way they work, and consumers have a great way to keep in touch with
friends and family as they move and change jobs."
"Our alliance with Microsoft provides massive exposure of the
Peoplestreet LiveCard Service to users of Windows XP worldwide," said
Alper Caglayan, CEO of Peoplestreet. "Working with Microsoft, we will be
able to bring new .NET-based services to market faster and more
efficiently, plus serve the vast network of enterprises building their
businesses on the Microsoft platform."
Also announced today is the LiveCard Companion for Outlook 2002, part of
the Office XP suite of productivity software, which will enable
Peoplestreet members to add LiveCards they receive from others directly
into their Outlook address book with one click, saving them the
time-consuming task of re-entering contact information. In addition,
with the LiveCard Companion for Outlook 2002, Peoplestreet members can
edit their LiveCards, create new LiveCards and change their account
preferences directly from the Windows XP desktop, allowing them added
functionality, without interfering with their daily workflow. The
LiveCard Companion for Outlook 2002 will be available from
http://www.peoplestreet.com/ later this fall. Peoplestreet currently
offers LiveCard Companions for Microsoft Outlook 2000, and today
additionally announced support for Outlook 98 customers, further
expanding the reach and value of the LiveCard Services.
The Peoplestreet Web site will also be Passport-enabled, allowing
Passport users to quickly and easily register and log in to the
Peoplestreet Service with a single sign-in. The Passport single sign-in
(SSI) service lets users create one name and password to access all Web
sites participating in the Passport service. With this, users do not
have to create or remember additional sign-in names and passwords. The
strategic alliance also calls for the companies to work together on
future development efforts around Peoplestreet Services for Microsoft
products.

Unless I'm mistaken, transparent gateways, due to their transparency, can't be bypassed, which makes them unsuitable for Dave C's preferences. (Or mine.

The overhead involved would be substantial and some protocols would be impossible to distinguish on the fly. (e.g., You use 'telnet someserver.com 80' with the intent to make an HTTP request. telnet client attempts normal telnet handshaking because it doesn't know any better. iptables sees handshaking and assumes it's a telnet connection since it has no way of knowing otherwise until after the connection is established and you sent a GET.

Actually, to do a fresh install of woody, you download the woody boot-floppies, and install woody. That's pretty simple, right? :) I don't suggest upgrading to woody yet.

Modem/PPP fails on Progeny, works on Mandrake
Hi, First, apologies for the cross-posting; I'm not sure which list this plea belongs on. I finally took the plunge last weekend and made my switch to Progeny Debian from Mandrake 7.2. I'm not going to talk about Progeny's (horrible) installer in this message. Suffice to say I got Progeny installed, at the cost of losing my windows and Madrake partitions. After I got it installed, and got my non-standard modem IRQ configured with setserial, I got to work configuring my internet connection. I've done this before on Mandrake, so I figured it would take 5 minutes. Wrong. The following narrative is somewhat abridged, but it captures the essentials: I get my /etc/ppp/peers/provider and /etc/chatscripts/provider configured. I try to dial in. The modem is *amazingly* slow to respond. But it dials, and then slwly the ISP's prompts appear. Now, before, I had been dialing up and then immediately authenticating with PAP; I hadn't even known that the ISP's system would give a login prompt if a ppp session was not immediately started. Hoever, the default chatscript I modified had the "ogin:"/"sword:" expect/reply pairs in it, and I had went ahead and used them. Turns out the ISP /does/ give login prompts, albeit vey slowly. Thinking nothing of it, I watched the prompts go by in my syslog, and then watched pppd hang up as some timeout was reached. After awhile I got various timeouts tweaked so that neither chat nor pppd would timeout while waiting for a response. Once I even managed to get as far as seeing the PPP data begin to stream over; but no matter what I did, pppd was unable to negotiate a connection. I kept getting LCP response timeouts; or simple an "alarm" message in pppd's log and then an exit. I tried changing the lcp timeout and lcp-max-configure setting, to no avail. At some point a light bulb turned on and I realized "Hey! I never had to use a chat script to enter login and password before! I was using PAP!" So I modified the chat script to only go as far as dialing and waiting for a connection; made sure the "user" option was in my 'provider' file; and verified all the right info was in pap-secrets. No deal. pppd reported "response not 8-bit clean" or somesuch. After searching around from my work internet connection, I discovered that this meant that the ISP was not switching over to ppp. "Huh" I thought. "They must have changed their login procedure at the exact same time I decided to upgrade. I guess now they require a manual login". There followed a period of my tweaking every possible ppp setting; trying various different changes in my chat script; trying other dialup configuration programs, such as pppconfig and kppp. Nothing. I couldn't just switch back to Mandrake or Windows to see if /their/ connections still worked, because Progeny's installer had summarily erased those partitions from my boot record. Finally, this morning, I created a new partition and reinstalled Mandrake 7.2. I configured kppp with my usual setup; with PAP authentication. I hit "Connect" and within seconds, I was connected on the first try. No long pauses; no LCP errors; no timeouts. So, I'm stumped. I can't figure out what's different. It almost seems like my ISP acts differently depending on which distro I use. Absurd, I know. The one suspicious thing all along has been the fact that my modem has been strangely slow in all it's responses to AT commands when used under Debian. It's a Motorola VoiceSURFR 56k, not a winmodem. I guess what I'm saying is: HELP!!! Does anyone have any idea what's different about Progeny/Debian that makes me unable to use my modem to get online? I *really* want to switch to Debian; but until I can get this resolved that's not going to happen. Thanks, -Avdi Grimm

Many ISP's run software that detects manual connection attempts and offers chat authentication instead of the PAP that it offers when the connection appears to be automatic.

changing date's output
hello i'd like to change the names of the months into slovenian ones, that is the old-style names (like vinotok for october).

Especially on a firewall. portmap, unfortunately, isn't removable on a potato system. Trying to remove it would break dependencies in the netbase package. Next best thing would be to not have it running. Another alternative would be to build your own netbase package that doesn't have that issue, but it's up to you to decide if the effort to do so is worth it. > > | xfree86-common install > > | xlib6g install > > | xlibs install > > These are arguable.

latest in my struggle to set-up a debian box for the first time
Here's the run down on what has happened so far... Installed Potato onto a Dell Inspiron 3000 laptop using the CD's. After a few miscues on disk partitioning, I got a good install (note: this is a debian-only box. No other OS on it). I got into X and have the Enlightenment manager running things. Tried to run Netscape, since it was listed on the menu options and nothing happened. Come to find out, Netscape wasn't loaded. I then got some good advice on downloading Galeon from the net. After, again, a few miscues (syntax is everything) I was able to run the following: apt-get update apt-get install galeon The updates downloaded and galeon downloaded and installed. During installation, however, the install program asked about locale-gen and mentioned something about this proably affecting 8-bit fonts (or something close to that). Being new to the game, all I felt I could do was take the default suggestion. Galeon completed its install and even came up running, except that the fonts were all screwed up. I tried to look at the locale-gen file using one of the gnome text editors, and the fonts were screwed up there as well. So, I rebooted (seemed logical at the time). Now, I boot up into linux and login on the text screen. I try to run 'startx' and it says 'command not found'. I got a suggestion to run '/usr/sbin/locale-gen' and did. That action did something, but I still cannot run 'startx'. One other problem, I was trying to run balsa before all of the above occured. I could send email out, but the program temporarily locked everything up when it tried to get mail (I sent myself a test email). I know that the email was sent, because I got it on my MS box when I checked there. My goal is to get mail and browser running first. Then I plan on downloading StarOffice so that I have a functional word processor. Oh, and I hope to get this done with unfortunately limited time at the computer within the next 5 or 6 days. Thanks for all who have helped so far. i've learned much in the last few days. I'm quite rusty on unix (been 12 years since I've seen it) but I've made a commitment to switch away from M$ as much as I can. James A.

Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] > - End forwarded message - I also was pissed off when I start to use locales. The names of the months were with capital letters. I manage to change that in /usr/share/i18n/locales/ro_RO (for Romanian). Search for LC_TIME. abday contain the abreviated names of the days, and abmon contain the abreviated names for the months. day contain the names of the days of the week and mon contains the names for the months. You may notice that you have to use the Unicode codes for each letter. A is U0041, etc. After that you have to uncomment the sl_SI in the /etc/locale.gen and run /usr/sbin/locale-gen (as root). You may want to keep a copy of the /usr/share/i18n/locales/sl_SI somewhere, otherwise if you do an upgrate of the locales you will overide the file (it happend to me). All this is valid for woody, I don't know for potato. I run locale (GNU libc) 2.2.3. You did not mention what do you have. For a better understanding of the format of the file you may want to search the net for ISO 14652 (don't have a reference handy).

In my haste, I said that ipchains was running. What I should have said is that when I look at dselect, the ipchains package is installed. I do not know how to tell if it is running. I also installed telnetd, with the same problem (connections to my machine are refused). So I assume it is not a problem with my ssh configuration (which is default). Any guidance is appreciated.

Re: sshd
Check your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny to see if connections from your client are explicitly allowed. Also, see if your package of ssh has tcp_wrappers compiled in (they like to do that around here), in which case you'll need to explicitly allow hosts. As previously mentioned, try ssh -v -v -v to get some pretty serious debugging output and see what occurs. -Wes On Tue, Aug 21, 2001 at 12:57:57PM -0400, Titus Barik wrote: > On Tue, 21 Aug 2001, Titus Barik wrote: > > > On Tue, 21 Aug 2001, Titus Barik wrote: > > > > I take that back.. seems I have ipchains running. > > > > I apologize for the multiple posts.

Thanks for the info and your suggestion, but it doesn't seem to change things. I have noticed under 2.4.8 that in-use swap space doesn't grow as rapidly as 2.4.7, but the problem persists.

Re: More problems with xfstt
Thanks for this pointer - as it turns out, you're right; a barcode font was the first returned when xfstt was on. I've fixed it like this; a hack, but it makes things work right: 1.) Make a new font directory: mkdir /usr/lib/X11/fonts/default 2.) Put the default font in it: cd /usr/lib/X11/fonts/default ln -s ../misc/10x20.pcf.gz 3.) Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config: Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" FontPath"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/default/:unscaled" FontPath"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/default/" FontPath"unix/:7101" FontPath"unix/:7100" ... That causes non-picky applications (e.g., those that just use the first font available) to be assigned the default (10x20), since it's the first one returned by the fonts system.

forgot root password on head- and keyboardless machine *blush*
I have a head- and keyboardless machine running debian potato that I used to log into with ssh. Now I have forgotten the password. *blush* What I want to do, is either; a) make a bootdisk with a script that automaticly starts running that disables the root password, then halts the machine. I can then log in via ssh and change/enable the password again. b) make a bootdisk that boot the machine and starts a telnet or ssh server so I can log in and mount the disk and disable the password. I think a) is preferrable to b). I can probably write the script myselfi (pointers appreciated though), but I need some info on how to assemble a bootdisk that will run this script automatically. Any input is appreciated. The machine holds no important data, so if it were not for the problem of the missing keyboard (and cdrom) I would not hesitate to reinstall it. PS: the nic in the machine requires a custum kernel, but if it is possible to boot from floppy, log in via the net via telnet or something, and do a fresh install over the network, controlled from my regular machine, then I only need to be able to make such a bootdisk. That might be simpler, as I have seen howto's on customising the kernel for the rescue disk. Regards, Stig (who is very ashamed) -- www.brautaset.org

OT: competent .de registrar sought
hi guys, i am trying to register a couple of .de domains but so far, the two registrars i have tried, netbeat.de (ACK) and accountservice.de do not meet up to my needs. what i want is a registrar that allows me to configure and reconfigure DNS entries as well as admin-c, tech-c, and zone-c. i have my own NS servers and don't need/want anyone else's NIC handle in my records. netbeat.de is too incompetent for a nameserver change, and accountservice.de says that i need to tell them formally through a letter (!) of a change, and that zone-c won't be changed ever. do you guys know better registrars that will handle .de domains for no more than DM 30.00 per year? and preferably .com, .org, and .net as well...? martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "a rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral." -- antoine de saint-exupery

ssh refuses connections
I have four machines: a firewall, an internal server, and two workstations. When I try an SSH connection from the firewall to the server, or from outside the firewall using its port forwarding to go to the server, I get the error: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host I can connect just fine from the two workstations to the server, the server to the workstations, or any of the internal boxes to the firewall. The only changes that I've made since it last worked were the installation of NIS on the server (which has since been removed), and some NFS changes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jason

Maybe because playing it can get you in jail. ;-) DVD playing is perhaps one area where the hacker/cracker distinction (which I myself don't believe in) falls apart. Playing most DVDs in Linux is ILLEGAL.(That, however, shouldn't stop you.) For most brainless Hollywood movies VCD's are just fine.

I suggest you read the IPCHAINS-howto (on linuxdoc.org). It is very informative and explains a lot about packet filtering (firewalling). ipchains isn't a running service, but rather a tool to adjust the kernel's packet filtering tables. You can see what the current rules are using the command ipchains -L Post that output here and someone (probably even me ;-)) will decipher it for you and tell you why you can't make any connections.

Well, if you're looking to just make images (copies) from the CDs, I believe that readcd should work. (it comes with the cdrecord package) After I have these images I just have to edit /etc/fstab and add the location, mount point, type and options, right? It depends on what you're doing with them. Are you creating a personalized installation set? Of course I have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list too, but then I would be able to mount these images like any other device or partition? Hm... this isn't something I've attempted, but I'm _thinking_ that you should be able to use the loopback device to mount the images made by readcd.
