I want a linux internet connection going thru a win98 box:how??
Hello I am a new linux user I use netzero as my ISP and pay 9.95 per month! netzero is installed on my win98 box. I use a modem for dial-up service to netzero. I also have both my linux box and win98 connected with an Ethernet card. Is there a way I can dial up to netzero using my win98 box, Then go to my linux box create an internet connection succesffully.

wtf is port 1024 kdm?
I nmap'ed a machine on my network which is running Woody, and realized that: 1024/tcp openkdm I am ssuming that kdm means KDE Display Manger. What's strang is that this machine does not have (and has never had) any graphical display manager or desktop environment installed on it. 1. What is this port used for? 2. Why is it open by default? 3. How do i get rid of it? I don't care if it is "harmless", i want to close all services i don't need. TIA!

(e.g. open netscape and go to > www.debian.org from my linux box) [never done this, not an expert] You will need to setup a proxy server on the win98 box. This one is free, but there are probably a lot of others: http://www.nycsoftware.com/easyproxy/ Then you just connect the gnu/linux box to the 98 box a crossover cable, unless you have a hub or router -- which would be worth buying if you need to give more computers access later. Once this is done, you setup the gnu/linux box to use the 98 box as its proxy server. This is _probably_ as simple as changing a few settings on your web browser. Since i am lazy, i would probably use a router with DHCP built into it. This way you don't have to deal with assigning IP addresses to both machines. However, if you are looking for the cheapest method (not that a routher isn't cheap), a crossover cable seems like the best way to go.

Yes, but more specifically, it has more to do with the fact that the mail server could not find a PTR for that IP address, and the server is configured to never recieve mail from nameless hosts (not a bad thing, as usually only rogue ISPs lack PTRs).

It highly dodgy, a pain to set up, has stupid defaults and generally drives people insane, but if you're persistant it does work. Once you have it set up on the windows side, just set your linux default gateway to the ip address of your win98 box.

Help -- Scanner problem with MAKEDEV
I am trying to install an Epson 1650 (USB) scanner. Sane is installed, everything is plugged in, but I cannot get MAKEDEV to do its thing. I have added a /usb directory to /dev, and run "mknod scanner0 c 180 48" by itself and in company with MAKEDEV (as MAKEDEV scanner || mknod scanner0 c 180 48). mknod installs scanner0 OK, but I still get nowhere with MAKEDEV, which I think should complain that the device is already created. sane-find-scanner says "failed to open (status 4)" I have been through Google, the MAKEDEV manual is out of date and not useful, and I am starting to tear out what hair I have left. I have usb enabled in the kernel, as well as usb scanner support, and both ohci and uhci set as modules. I have not tried to insmod them, though since I have an ALi chipset, I think uhci won't do anything. /proc/bus/usb/devices does not exist -- there should be something there. Help!

GeForce 2 MX200 and XF86 4 hard lockup
I'm trying to set up Debian on a friend's computer since he's finally decided to give up the evil M$ empire. He's got a GeForce 2 MX200 hooked up to a Gateway FPD1500 flat-screen. (TFT) I compiled 2.4.17 for him and got the latest NVidia drivers (2802) and using the latest Sid packages. If I start it up using the "nv" driver, the screen flickers for a while and then dies. If I start it up using the "nvidia" driver, everything loads fine and I get the "NVidia" logo on the screen. Then the computer just hard locks. Everything dies.

If I understand your question, it's not about keybindings, but about
creating your own apps root menu for Windowmaker.
I do this with the following as ~/GNUStep/WMRootMenu, which shows a

opening an application.
Note that Debian's menus are still accessed under the "Debian Menus"
link, by invoking:
("Debian menus", OPEN_MENU, "/etc/X11/WindowMaker/menu.hook"),
...you could configure your own menus to your liking, then addd this
action, and you'd have the best of both worlds: your own menus, but
Debian menus for stuff that's actually on your system, automatically
updated for you.

debian on IBM Thinkpad iseries (P3-500)
I was wondering if anyone has gotten debian to work on this machine. It is Type 1171-91U. It's the first machine I can remember that won't boot the debian install CD at all. it just says "Boot Failed". I tried both CD 1 and CD 2. I installed SuSE 7.3 professional with no problem, but wanted to dual boot with debian. running 2.2r5. really odd...theres no floppy drive on the thing, maybe there is another way to boot it? maybe i could copy the kernel from the CD over and boot via SuSe's lilo .. ? nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Still stuck on install of 68k
Hi, It's me again, IIfx. I can't complete an install because my screen looses characters on the left side when I get to the part where the installer wants to partition the hard drive. I have a full screen up until then. If someone could send me the commands/options list for that screen, ( the one where it says some thing about /sda or ? for help), I might be able to complete the install. The full screen was there before, it may come back once the install is complete. The lost screen real estate may come back.

My understanding has been that /etc/hosts.deny ALL:PARANOID is a good thing (tm), in that visitors not invited in, are kicked out. Which is your objection in this case. /etc/hosts.allow is tested first and if a match is found, then host.deny is never tested. Thus, you can "allow" your whole LAN by: ALL : 192.168.0. # <--note the trailing "." or a piece of it: ALL : 192.168.0. EXCEPT 192.168.0.46# or ALL : .foo.bar EXCEPT honker.foo.bar # note leading "." Won't these general allows eliminate the need to edit each host for each addition/subtraction on your net? If ALL : PARANOID is not used in hosts.deny, then any host not specifically denied, is allowed. That seems to me to be a bad thing (tm). In the above example, everybody in the world except honker is let in. If this is not germane to the thread, I apologize.

problems with dpkg/deselct installing woody
Hi ! I have the following problem. I once installed potato on an old pentium-machine and then didn't use it for a year or so. Now I d like to use it again and tried to update to WOODY (before there was nothing really important on the machine), so I just pointed apt in sources.list to the testing-url. Then I started the update with dselect. Download of all files/packages worked fine! :-) BUT: During the installation-process with dselect it run into the following error: Removing gnome-games /var/lib/dpkg/info/gnome-games.postrm: scrollkeeper-update: command not found dpkg: error processing gnome-games (--remove): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 127 errors were encountered while processing: gnome-games dpkg --remove returned error exit status 1. press enter to continue. So,the thing is that I cannot continue/finish the installation process because any retry runs in the same error-message. I had a look in the man page of dpkg and tried some manual error fixing like: dpkg --force-reinstreq gnome-games or dpkg -purge gnome-games but I always got the same error messages the dpkg --status gnome-games command shows the output you can see in the inclosed attachment-textfile. Is it a good idea to just erase all files in the /var/cache directories and restart the whole installation process from scratch or is there some nicer way to fix the problem? any help and hints really appreciated, because it is impossible for me at the moment to finish the installation due to the cercle vicieux. thx in advance, Richard PS: please use my email-adress in the CC-line as I am not subscribed to the mailing list at the moment. -- Mag.

No. Your problem is with this particular package. Look at the script /var/lib/dpkg/info/gnome-games.postrm The error message says it is trying to run a command that is not present on your machine, so you need to make the script bypass the error. The easiest way is to delete the line containing the dud command (scrollkeeper-update), and any lines dependent on it. Then run dpkg --purge gnome-games If any other errors show up, repeat the procedure until they all go away and the package is successfully purged. -- Oliver Elphick[EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

Hi, I am currently running woody on my Celeron 400MHz box with Matrox G200 video card. My display defaults to a depth of 16. If I run tuxracer in this mode, the backgrounds (textures) are not drawn properly. What I see are smudges on the screen. But, tux races neatly. If I shift to a depth of 24, everything is fine, but speed is so low, that I cannot even move the mouse. Can I run this program at 16bpp with proper rendering or should I upgrade my videocard/cpu? :-( Regards, -- Sridhar M.A.mas at uomphysics dot net System checkpoint complete. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

There may actually be a valid idea in this; If we allow dpkg to install
files in different places than the package says, and puts symlinks in
place, then it just might work. E.g. if the package wants
/usr/bin/foobar, then dpkg could be put in /mntpoint/bin/foobar and add
a symlink to /usr/bin.
Something like:
dpkg --substitute /usr:/mntpoint --install my-favourite.deb
(some packages may not like having their files becoming symlinks)

I have to agree here. I would not want to fiddle with location of the
files. Although it is probably possible to symlink things into /usr, I
don't see the need to. Perhaps it will be useful for very odd systems,
e.g. multiple 100Mb disks !? (LVM sounds better).
Noah:- if you're really interested, feel free to hack dpkg. I have to
admit that I would not want to use such a feature, but somebody else
might. As long as it doesn't break dpkg and the default behaviour
doesn't change, I guess it would be OK. Just because *I* don't like the
idea, doesn't make it wrong.

SSH2 packet too long error
After upgrading my maching to woody (After many tips on x-config from other users--thanks) I decided to go from ssh to ssh2 protocol, since the mail server at work uses this. It works fine and I can connect to the server, use scp, etc. Now I want to use sshd2 to login to my machine remotely. I edited /etc/inetd.conf to include ssh stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/sshd sshd -i I also edited hosts.allow to include: sshd: ALL : allow sshdfwd-X11 : ALL : allow sshd1 : ALL : allow sshd2 : ALL : allow So now the sshd2 port starts up when I reboot. And I can login using a public key I generated remotely and copied over(I also edited the authorization and identification files appropriately on both ends). It accepts the passphrase just fine, but then I get the following error: warning: Authentication failed. debug: client_disconnect: Protocol error: packet too long: -1364331183. debug: Ssh2/ssh2.c:76: locally_generated = TRUE warning: Disconnected; protocol error (Protocol error: packet too long: -1364331183.). debug: uninitializing event loop I've looked around, one suggestion is to configure ssh2 without tcp-wrappers (--with-libwrap=no). I have libwrap-0 installed as well, if that matters. The ssh.com FAQ suggests changing the encryption to Blowfish, but the ssh-keygen2 I have doesn't support this. Is the debian woody ssh2 configured with or without libwrap? Should there be another ssh2-nolibwrap distribution, or is there another way to work around this. Also, I've tried connecting without the inetd.conf line (I get an error that there is no TCP/IP connection). I also tried changing the line from sshd to sshd2, but the problem is the same. I had ssh on woody here before without a problem. Any hints??? Thanks, Glen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Debian shoot 'em up games review
[Please Cc: to me because I am not subscribed to the list.] I am interested in shoot 'em up games. This is a comment for some of them that are available in Debian. Note that .deb may be unavailable on a potato system -- I use unstable. By "shoot 'em up" I mean a game in which you pilot a plane or a spaceship to shoot enemies. Games in which you can shoot as an extra feature are not covered here. I have a motto for shoot 'em up games: "why a shot button?" If the game is just a kill-everything, why do I have to push a key to shoot? There should be a reason -- this is not a strict simulation of a airplane. * Asteroids clones In these games you shoot rocks (asteroids) and a few UFOs. Since rocks don't shoot you (UFOs do, by the way), you are safe -- if you can move your ship properly. Your ship can turn left or right, or accelerate, but it has no brake. Once you start moving, you have to turn back and accelerate to slow down. Another problem is that there can be only a finite number of player's shots in a game window. If you miss several times, you need to wait till one of your shots vanishes to shoot again. Aiming accurately is more important than shooting hard. ** xasteroids - X-based asteroids-style arcade game This one has the simplest graphic. Your ship has a shield and it can teleport. Time affects your score -- your score decreases as time passes. ** xoids - Asteroids game with powerups and color graphics. This is the most "realistic" one. The graphic is not line-only diagrams. Shooting pushes you back a little. Crashing into a rock does not break your ship if you are moving slow enough. Both your ship and an UFO can power up by getting an item. Your ship can teleport but has no shield. ** vectoroids - vector-based rock-shooting This one comes with a sound. The key control is the simplest -- no shield, no teleportation, and your ship will slow down automatically. Only two shots are allowed at a time, so aiming is very important. There seems to be no UFOs. * kill all of them This is a rather old type of a shoot-em-up. In each stage, a specific number of enemies will appear. If you kill all of them before you are killed, you can go to next stage. ** criticalmass - Shoot-em-up a la galaxian It has a nice graphic if you have a 3D accelerator. It also has a nice music. It will be a very exciting game if the player ship can move up or down (See #136642). Enemies shoot horizontally. Shooting too much in a short time will overheat your ship, so aim before shoot. ** nighthawk - An improved version of Paradroid - a strategic shoot-em up. This is a bit off-topic because you are a droid _in_ a spaceship. The goal of the game is to destroy other droids by shooting them or cracking into and taking over them (which may be far easier than shooting it). A mouse is required. ** powermanga - A vertical shoot 'em up for X11 with colourful 3D graphics. If you are tired of near-future look and feel, try this one. It has an individual graphic and sound. Though it has scrolling stage intervals and end-of-stage bosses, this is basically a kill-everything. Here is a tip: you have to choose how to power up your ship carefully to survive, that is, to kill the first boss. Upgrade your ship two times, then get a homing missile. [Why a shot button?] ** xkobo - a game of space battle This is a search-and-destroy. The window is small (at least you have a 1024x768 display).

Confused by X version 3 and version 4 being part of Woody
I'm confused by the support of both version 3.3 and 4.0 X server in Woody. I have an operational system running under (I believe) version 3.3. I would like to try to configure version 4.0. How do I specify one X server or the other? Is /etc/X11/X, as a symbolic link, the say to do this? Right now I have X -> /usr/bin/X11/XF86_SVGA. What does it need to be to run the version 4.0 X? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You're probably going to run into all sorts of bizarre problems unless you remove the 3.3.6 XFree86 packages - I tripped over this when I flipped my system from stable to testing. The resolution was to remove the older packages and install the version 4 equivalents, after which it was plain sailing.

gnome apps font size under KDE
Hi, I have an up to date Debian woody with KDE as desktop. Additionally I'm using some gnome applications. The menu etc. fonts of these gnome apps are too small for my eyes, but I didn't find any way to change the font size so far. I tried to set under "gnomecc -> theme selector -> user font -> use custom font" some other fonts and sizes - without any effect. So this doesn't seem to be the way to do it ... Any suggestions, how I could change the font size in my gnome apps? I don't mind to edit config files. (Actually, IMHO the best way to configure apps are well documented config files - and it's a pity IMHO that the KDE and gnome developers seem to think otherwise.) Thanks in advance!

Printer dead or CUPS?
I'm afraid my printer may be broken, but maybe just the software. Anyway, using the most recent CUPS version, an Epson Stylus C60 printer, kernel version 2.4.17, and sid (current as of this afternoon). The error message when trying to print (either a test page or using lp) is "client-error-not-possible." When catting a file to /dev/lp0 I get "lp0: compatibility mode" and "lp0 on fire" No smoke or heat, fortunately :-) but trying to troubleshoot. Any ideas?

My xterm looks the same - cdparanoia keeps bobbing up to the top of top every minute or so and then disappearing again, the current track has been recording now for over 4 hours...

Kernel Panic
If anyone could help with this I would appriciate it. I installed a new Nvidia Gforce 4 card in my system last weekend. So I had to compile a custom kernel to setup the drivers for it. I got the 2.4.18 source with apget and used the kernel-packaging tool to create a new kernel image. I got the nvidia drives installed and working but had left out some other drivers that my system needs. So this weekend I decided to fix that. I started by rerunning xconfig and selecting the drivers I needed to be loaded as modules. Then used make-kpkg --append_to_version foo when I rebuilt the kernel. Now I have a 2.4.18 kernel and a 2.4.18.2.4 when I try to boot the 2.4.18.2.4 which is the one built using --append_to_version with make-kpkg I get this Kernel Panic: VFS:unable to mount root fs on 03:42 Anyone have any ideas what I messed up? I can still boot the 2.4.18 kernel but it is missing modules I need. Thanks for any help. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Which X you end up using depends on the symlink /etc/X11/X -> xserver. To use 4.x, install xserver-xfree86 and run: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 (You can always reset to use 3.3 by changing the symlink back to X -> /usr/bin/X11/XF86_SVGA.) If you don't get a working config file with dpkg-reconfigure, try "XFree86 -configure" to let X figure out what XF86Config-4 should be (see man XFree86). (Look for error messages in /var/log/XFree86.0.log.) If you are using [xgk]dm, you may need to stop and restart service. -- Jerome pgpqOHKKdtKN4.pgp Description: PGP signature

I don't want to configure fetchmail as such. I simply want the dialog that I got when I firts installed the fetchmail package rerun. It allowed for the choice between a "system wide" config file, and I want to change that.
