Is there a line containing something about cracklib in /etc/pam.d/gdm
but not in the pam configs for those other services? Still, I'd expect
it to be set up to disallow changing the password *to* a weak one, but
not disallow login with a weak password. Depends on the setup, I
suppose, but it sounds strange to me, still.

good times,

Netsaint

[Oki DZ]

Hi,

I use Netsaint, and I don't think there's an option to truncate the log file 
("Log File" menu at the main menu). How am I supposed to deal with this 
growing log? Would it be safe just by setting up logrotate for Netsaint?


Thanks in advance,
Oki

I'm running Sid. YMMV for Woody.

That said, I've got a functional OpenOffice.org installation using the
following source:

# OpenOffice
deb http://people.debian.org/~nidd/debian/ unstable/

Installs all nice like, then does the per-user installation the first
time you run "ooffice". 

Hope this helps.

Take care,

Peter.

problem with my sound configuration!!!

[Joel]

I can't figure out how to make my sound hardware work. I am running 
potato. Compiled ALSA in my 2.5.9 kernel.
Using xmms to play my mp3's reports no problem and the display shows 
normal playback but there is no sound output.
I have made adjustments to my volume using the mixer. I am sure the 
volume is not zero.


One thing I have noticed, my sound hardware uses IRQ 9 in Win2000 but it 
uses IRQ 9 here. Is this relevant to my problem?

I just noticed that you don't specify a version, and neither did I :-)

The build I've got up and running is 638 - package name is "openoffice".

I've just this minute installed openoffice.org 1.0, but as I'm currently
ssh'ed into my box I can't test it yet. I'll give it a whirl and let the
list know how I get on.

Take care,

Do you have any java at all installed?

I've had no problems using the j2re1.3 Blackdown Java package.

I use the following line in /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/debian/
woody non-free

(All on one line - pesky line wrapping!)

Hope this helps

Not tried it yet, but I've got another question. Why isn't openoffice available 
via the debian mirrors? Is this because nobody ever bothered to package it 
properly or are there some licence issues?

ogle and audio volume

[Leonardo Canducci]

I'm runnig ogle-mmx to play dvds in my woody (far better than xine, that
has no menus). it works well but the volume is too low. it's far lower
then when playing mp3 with XMMS or AVIs and MPGs with xine, so it should
be an ogle problem.
the mixer and speacker levels, even when at their max, don't help. is
seem like there's some kind of saturation.
I'm using gnome 1.4 with no esd (only oss). I tried with esd and got the
same result.

my .oglerc file says (audio section):

  

  /dev/dsp1


  2
  0
  0

  

is there anything wrong? did someone encounter the same problem?

tnx for any hints,

Please do the following:

edit /etc/openoffice/autoresponse.conf and change
JavaSupport=preinstalled_or_none 
to
JavaSupport=none
then:
rm -r .sversionrc .openoffice
openoffice

This will start the debian package autosetup.

You will see a load of errors about .kde2 file copies, but these can be
ignored for now.

Sorry about these problems.  Now the dependency issues are sorted the next
wave of problems are comming to light.

No fundamental reason, as far as I know. From what I've gathered, it's
just a huge amount of work and hasn't been polished enough for unstable

Building 'internal' deb packages?

[Vincent W.S. Tam]

Dear all,

We're using Debian 2.2 for most of our systems. We've also tried bunk's
packages to include some early Woody packages added to our machines to
allow us to run kernel 2.4. 

Now, for some reasons we'd like to build our own packages. (e.g. want to
use newer version of the software not included in Debian distribution,
internal written software)

Is there a recommended way to build and name these internal packages so
that they can work peacefully with the 'official' packages? We've
checked the Debian Policy and seems didn't find this kind of
information.

Anybody can give us some guidelines? :)

Thanks a lot!,
Vincent

/etc/resolv.conf keeps getting changed

Every so often, presumably after an apt-get upgrade dist-upgrade, my 
/etc/resolv.conf file gets modified, and my DNS stops working. I then 
manually edit the file back to how I want, and say to myself, I Really Must 
Find Out What Causes That - then forget about it.

Is there a way I can stop this file being modified automatically?

[Announce] OpenOffice.org-1.0.0

[Jan-Hendrik Palic]

Hi...

We now have Openoffice.org packages for debian on i386 and and powerpc.
These are currently the only supported linux architectures. I saw, that
someone is working on ports on sparc, alpha and IRIX, but it will take some
time.

Openoffice.org 1.0 was announced yesterday, and we already have .debs
available for i386.  Building on powerpc takes longer, so they will be ready
in the next day or so.

The sources and .debs are now available from three sources.  The master
server is at Moscow State University, and we now have a fast mirror in
Germany, thanks to the guys at vpn-junkies.de!   A slower source at
Sourceforge is also available.

You can get openoffice.org and the needed files, libstlport4.5gcc3 for i386
and libstlport4.0 for powerpc, by adding one of the following lines to your
/etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://www.mx1.ru/~chris/openoffice unstable main contrib
or
deb ftp://ftp.vpn-junkies.de/openoffice unstable main contrib
or
deb http://apt-proxy.sf.net/openoffice unstable main contrib

Sources are also available from these servers (replace deb with deb-src).

If you are using apt-proxy (maintained by one of our team!), you can
configure it to pick up openoffice packages like this:

apt-proxy.conf: 
  add_backend /openoffice/ $APT_PROXY_CACHE/openoffice/ 
http://www.mx1.ru/~chris/openoffice/
sources.list:
  deb http://SERVERNAME:/openoffice unstable main contrib
>
You can participate in development by getting the debian-directory for
openoffice.org from here:

export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib/cvs
cvs login 

cvs co oo-deb

CVS commits are mailed to the debian-openoffice mailing list, so you can
follow our development and comment there.

If you are planning on building openoffice.org more than once, we recommend
the use of ccache (apt-get install ccache).  This reduces the build time
from 10 hours to 4 on i386 on the second and subsequent builds.  To activate
use of ccache during the build, set the environment variable
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=ccache before you build.

If you have issues, please mail them to debian-openoffice, so we can
discuss them! :)

What has been done:

We have packages for debian on i386 and powerpc. I hope, alpha/sparc and
perhaps MIPS will follow once they are supported upstream.  The dependency
bugs are fixed and the sort in the MANIFEST-File, but there is much to do!


01. Port OpenOffice.org on powerpc to gcc3. In the module bridges there is
assembly code, which has not yet been ported to gcc3. I talked to Kevin
B. Hendricks, the whoswho of OpenOffice.org on powerpc, and he told me,
that he does not plan to do the port for gcc 3.0.4 and is concentrating
on being ready for gcc 3.1. I will help him.

02. We have a report about ugly fonts after installation. We have not yet
investigated this problem to find a fix.
We need to look at SAL_FONT_PATH variable.

03. Where should the configuration files go?
Tim Wheeler pointed out, that the splash screen should be disabled.
Showing the splashscreen couses a high load on his computer (Athlon
1.2GHz). In this issue he asks about the location of the
config-files. They should be saved global in /etc. sofficerc is in
/usr/lib/openoffice.org/program is a kandidate for /etc/openoffice.
The name of the dir in /etc could be changed to openoffice.org :)

I'm not really sure that it is splashscreen that makes a load. --Nidd.

04. Tim Wheeler also mentioned:
I had to add /usr/lib/openoffice/program to /etc/ld.so.conf so that i
could run spadmin (to add fonts).  i couldn't find a wrapper/link to
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/spadmin.bin.

We will fix this when we start looking at the file locations.  Most files
are still in their default locations as installed by openoffice setup.
Many of these locations are not correct for a Debian system and are not
necessarily FHS compliant.

You can work around this by running spadmin like this:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/openoffice/program 
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/spadmin.bin

05. OpenOffice.org ready for debian main?

Peter Novodvorski is working on patches for two problems that will let
OpenOffice.org be put into main. The problems we have are two
build dependencies: Java 1.3.1 and libgcpl0. Both packages
are non-free, which means that currently OpenOffice.org can only be
uploaded to contrib.  Since Openoffice.org is due to release 1.0 in the
next week or so, we will not be able to get rid of these in time for the
release.  Hopefully it will be possible to announce Openoffice.org for
main soon :)
gpc patch is already in CVS --Nidd.
it is in the 1.0 .deb :) --Chris

07. Upload OpenOffice.org to debian experimental?

If we decide to upload OpenOffice.org to experimental, we have the
advantage of the debian-BTS for handling bugs.  But we are not ready to
do this yet.

I didn't find a sources.list for it, but I installed the 1.4 j2sdk from
Sun's site.  The only caveat is that I needed to also install
libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1 to satisfy it's shared library requirement.  I
dropped the j2sdk into /usr/local with a symlink of /usr/local/jdk to the
version specific folder.  The OpenOffice debian package found everything
on it's own.

If you need to use newer versions of package "foobar" than the one
included in debian, there are several ways to go:

- If testing (currently=woody) or unstable (=sid) has those packages,
  install them from there. However, these may depend on newer versions
  of libraries than you already have.

- If testing (currently=woody) or unstable (=sid) has those packages,
  "apt-get source" it and create your own .deb. (you may have to install 
  other packages to get it to compile; check the Build-depends:). The
  resulting .deb can be installed as any other package (dpkg --install
  foobar*.deb), and shouldn't depend on versions of packages you
  don't have.

- install foobar yourself in /usr/local, and remove the debian-supplied
  foobar. Other packages may depend on foobar though; using the equivs
  package will satisfy the dependencies here.

AFAIK there are no differences between official and non-official
packages. As long as a package obeys the relevant policies, it should
basically be OK.

This one is a must-read (although I suspect you have been there before):

That's most likely because you selected some stuff for
installation that was not on the first CD. Also, once
you've got the base system installed you have to
change the sources.list file to point to a debian
mirror instead of the CDs in order to do the type of
install I was talking about. This does take some
familiarity w/ the debian install process...

You might want to try out the iso images here:

I've never used these myself, but they seem to be set
up to install base system and everything from the net.

Re: Gimp - Image resolution is out of bounds, using default resolution instead.

[Alan Shutko]

Gary Turner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:

> The Gimp works at 72 or 96 ppi(pixels per inch).

No, it doesn't.  This is one of the most commonly held misconceptions
about digital resolutions.  

First, about image resolution.  There's a tag within most image
formats which contains the number of pixels per inch each way.  When
scanning, the scanning software usually puts a value in here which
lets you figure out how big the original was.

The ppi[1] value only makes sense if you're trying display something
to a certain physical size.  So it matters when you want a certain
size print, or when you want a certain physical size print on your
monitor (ie, you want to match the size of a print).

In the Gimp, you can set or change the ppi value in the Scale Image
dialog.  If you just change the stuff in the "Print Size & Display
Unit section, you aren't changing anything about the image, just those
tags I mentioned earlier.

What does the gimp work at?  The Gimp has two modes: first it can work
in "dot-for-dot" mode, where 1 dot on screen corresponds to one dot in
your image.  The zooms will then work on dots.  Reduce it to half
size, and it'll show half dots.

Turn off dot-for-dot mode, and the Gimp will display images on your
monitor the same size they should be on paper, according to the ppi
tags.  If you have a 100ppi monitor, and you're viewing a 300ppi
image, at 1:1 mode the Gimp will scale the 300ppi image down to 100ppi
for view, so it's the same size it would be elsewhere.

Gimp knows the real image resolution of your monitor from the
File->Preferences->Monitor.  It's probably not 72ppi or 96ppi.  Mine,
for instance, is 116ppi.  The Gimp has a way to calibrate your so you
can get a ruler and figure out the size.

Back to the original poster's question, if it was scanned from film,
either it was scanned at a really high resolution and gimp doesn't
think it's reasonable, or Walmart didn't put real information in those
tags.  Who knows... it's a benign error anyway, since you probably
don't care about displaying an image on screen the same size as a 35mm
film frame.  (For a similar reason, the ppi info coming from digital
cameras is similarly useless.)

A bit of both, actually.  We've only just got libgpc (non-free) out, and
Peter is still working on pulling the Java build dependency.

And as Colin says, it needs much polishing before it can go in.  We have
only had good .debs of build 641 (now 1.0) since a few weeks - it took
months to work through the build process, adding patches and workarounds as
we went along.

GnomeCal and Evolution

[Keith O'Connell]

Hi,

I have just reinstalled Woody from scratch and there is a small cosmetic 
feature in Gnome. On the menu panel is a small clock that is a fixture to the 
panel at the right hand side. It pulls up a small PIM called "gnomecal", but it 
would seem that "gnomecal" is balking at my setup. I get an error message of;

Gdk-WARNING ** locale not supported by C library
Segmentation fault

How do I fix this as I am assuming this is a symptom of a bigger problem 
waiting to bite me, or better still is possible to get evolution to come up 
instead when the clock is selected

Do you use dhcp?  dhcp clients tend to rewrite resolv.conf to contain
the data the dhcp server returned.  If you use dhcp-client then it is
easy to edit /etc/dh-client to not overwrite the existing file and
even to append all new data as comments.

There are no *.deb's for the recent versions of Java.  I have yet to install

java.sun.com and download the latest Linux (for there is no Debian) package and

Perhaps this is one of:

?

As far as I can see, it is a release-critical bug. I suspect the package

so, is that the only choice, a manual non-deb install? to take the question 
further, is openoffice worth the effort? how does it differ from the last

reeks of submission to the same manner of hegemony that microshit employs.

I'm assuming that you want to have different address for the different
mailing lists.

If you use fetchmail, you can write the .fetchmailrc to collect from
all your mailboxes, but then it will just dump them to your local
spool, so when you use mutt, you'll have to sort them some how.  I'm
sure mutt is able to do that, but I don't have any exprience with
that.  (I use gnus).

Sending them out to the various mailing lists, you'll have to set mutt
to rewrite the From: headers (and other relevant headers) for the
appropriate mailing lists.

One hack that you can use to do that is to have 2 accounts on you home
box.  e.g. name1 and name2.  These correspond to your 2 accounts.
Then you can edit /etc/email-addresses to rewrite the From headers.

e.g.

name1: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
name2: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Then you just set up fetchmail to get the mail and dump it to the
proper accounts.  No need to hack up mutt or gnus to do it.

But you have all this switching.

Anyways, my 2 yen.

Good Luck.

How about adding lines for each isp in your .fetchmailrc file?

poll [EMAIL PROTECTED] with proto POP3

poll [EMAIL PROTECTED] with proto POP3
  user  there with password  is  here


You can fetch from any number of servers this way (and if you set it up
as root your can grab mail for multiple local users too).

man fetchmail is your friend here.

You could also use the fetchmailconf program.  It does a decent job of
holding your hand and writing your .fetchmailrc file for you.

max number of processes and woody [thread from some time ago]

[Adam Majer]

Hi all,

Some time ago there was a thread asking about the limit of ~300 processes 
allowed by 
the kernel and no more. Actually, in 2.4 kernels, that is not necessarily 
imposed
by ulimit but by the kernel limit set in the /proc directory.

/proc/sys/kernel/threads-max

By default, this is set to 320. To fix the problem, just set this to some
larger value at startup. Like

echo 2048 > /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max


Hope this helps some people,

FW: /etc/resolv.conf keeps getting changed

I too had this problem when I was using dhcp on my Woody 
(recent installation). Initially I was not sure of the
reason, but later figured out that it was the dhcp client. 
There used to a "^M" at the end of each line in resolv.conf.

A few days later our sysadm issued me a static ip, as per
the standard lab process, and I did not face any further
problem after migrating to static ip.

Checking hard disk for errors each time machine starts?

Hi

    I am using woody and would like my hard disk to
be checked every time the machine starts up. How do I set it up to do this?

 

Thank you

gdm startup (xsession)

[Richard Otte]

Hi,
I have gdm installed, but am unable to have any commands executed at
startup in .xsession or .xinitrc.  I have the line
exec wmaker&
in my .xsession file, but when I choose xsession in gdm the screen goes
blank and I'm shortly returned to the gdm login session.  I can login
by choosing windowmaker in gdm, and I then find that the 
file .xsession-errors is created, and contains the line:
/usr/bin/WindowMaker warning: could not find icon file "wmaker-nav.tif"
I created a .xinitrc and put commands in it, such as:
xplanetbg&
but they are ignored.  Does anybody know what files gdm will look
at when starting up an xsession?  I looked at the file
/etc/gdm/Sessions/Xsession and noticed it contained the line:
startup=$HOME/.xsession
which I thought would tell it to use my .xsession file in my home
directory.  Does anybody know what is wrong with my .xsession file that
would throw me back to gdm?  (by accident, I originally didn't have
.xsession executable, and then I could login, but .xsession was ignored
and I got some other default window manager).  Thanks very much,

Ric

More PCMCIA woes...

[Grant Edwards]

Since /etc/init.d/pcmcia won't work with modules built as part
of the kernel build, I thought I'd try using the modules from
the pcmcia-modules package.

That doesn't work either.

The only way to get the pcmcia-modules package to build the
orinoco modules is to enable "wireless LAN / orinoco" in the
_kernel_ build.  Then you end up with two different (and
mutually incompatible) versions of orinoco modules.  

This causes two problems:

 1) Errors when the packages are installed since they try to
overwrite each other's files. Even with --force-overwrite
you _still_ end up with multiple versions of orinoco
modules.

 2) /etc/init.d/pcmcia loads an incompatible combination of
modules from the kernel and pcmcia-modules packages.

It will work after you go in by hand and delete the
kernel/drivers/net/wireless directory (and it's contents).

I've found a couple ways to get a system to work:

  1) Use kernel-image modules and then delete a directory in
 /lib/modules installed by the kernel-image package.

  2) Use pcmcia-modules and deleting the wireless modules
 installed by the kernel-images package.

But if I ship a box like that, the first time the customer does
an upgrade the deleted files will reappear and the system breaks.

Somebody else out there must be using PCMCIA support.  It
simply _can't_ be as broken as it appears to be.

What am I doing wrong?

I'm using kernel 2.4.8 sources and pcmcia-cs sources that were
current as of about a week ago...

Problems with remote X-connection

[Pedro Quaresma de Almeida]

Hi

I am having problems with the remote X-connection.

Trying to explain:

In a certain Debian box:

I can't connect to a remote machine and run an X-application in my
screen.

I can connect from a remote machine and run an X-application in the
remote machine screen.

What will be the problem?

What are the files controlling the X-access?

What are the "log" files where I can look for error messages?

Thanks.

What does it get changed to?  Are you using ppp?  If so did you configure

Re: gdm login problem

There is nothing in /etc/pam.d/gdm about cracklib.  Also lib-cracklib

In the files 
gdm 
password required   pam_unix_passwd.so shadow 

login
password   required   pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=4 max=8

ssh
password   required pam_unix.so

pam_unix_password.so is a link to pam_unix.so

It's puzzling why gdm is doing this, but now the user has a better

Are you using pcmcia-modules or modules from kernel-image?

Let me guess; this is on a machine that's been on for a while, isn't

calculating the uptime after 2^32 clock ticks; it's also harmless, so

evolution: printig bug: resolved?

[Leonardo Canducci]

I'm using woody with evolution 1.0.3 mail client. It had a serious bug:
when attempting to print mail component always crashed.

I know this bug has been fixed with gtkhtml lib and devel packages from
evolution snapshot channel from ximian, but I don't know how to get
these files (you are supposed to user redcarpet) without messing my
apt/surces.list. I don't want ximian packages - for debian potato - to
mess up with my woody packages, and I don't know if these packages would
work with my evolution package - tailored for woody - from debian.

Anybody has tried this yet or resolved the printig problem some other
way?

Are the modules in /lib/modues//kernel/drivers/

Do you have symlinks or modules in /lib/modules//pcmcia?

I suspect my problems are unique to the modules I'm using:

 i82365: The i82365 module depends on isa-pnp.  If the
 above-mentioned directory is present, the
 /etc/init.d/pcmcia script uses insmod instead of
 modprobe to load i82365, so the isa-pnp module doesn't
 get loaded as it should.

orinoco: It's not possible to build orinoco modules into the
 pcmcia-modules package without _also_ building them
 into the kernel-image package (unless you do the build
 twice and futz with the configuration in-between).
 Unfortunately the kernel-sources and pcmcia-sources
 have different (incompatible) versions of orinico
 support, and /etc/init.d/pcmcia mixes them together.

My next attempt is to hack up the debian/rules file for the
kernel so that it does not create the directory
/lib/modules//pcmcia.  That way /etc/init.d/pcmcia
doesn't get fooled into thinking that pcmcia-modules is
installed and it should then use modprobe (which will load
isa-pnp).  That way I also get more up-to-date drivers.

Doing an lsmod shows:

router being slow

[Rudy Gevaert]

Hello,

I recently (a couple of months ago) installed a router, debian stable
with ipchains for firewall.

The problem is that when I am using a pc that is after the router is
slow.

E.g. sshing to a box outside my network goes fine, but after a
couple of minutes the connection is gone for a couple of seconds.  And
after those seconds it goes fine again.

The delay is only noticable using telnet/ssh/ftp.  When I check my modem
the lights on it don't lighten up, what's correct because no data is
passing by.

Now the problem could be at the side of my ISP (but that is unlikely),
so it must be my router.

Where should I start looking?

Thanks in advance,

I experienced the same problem with ogle, and was unable to solve it,
although I have to admit I didn't try so hard.

Xine's audio is quite nice and clear, and works at proper volume.

On both Ogle and Xine I noticed strange behaviour when resizing playback
windows...  resizing them up worked as expected, but resizing them below 1:1

It appears that when using modules from the kernel image with a
PCMCIA controller that's on the ISA bus, you have to build
isa-pnp into the kernel rather than building it as a module.
Or, I assume you could preload isa-pnp it at boot time by
listing it in /etc/modules.  Building it into the kernel
probably takes less disk space.

You must either have isa-pnp built into the kernel or your
PCMCIA bridge chip is on a PCI bus.  I suspect the latter.

Thanks for the help.

For the archives:

The fundamental problem is that /etc/init.d/pcmcia tries to
figure out if you're using pcmcia-modules.  It guesses wrongly
on Debian systems.  That causes it to use insmod in order to
try to override the normal search path used by modprobe. Then,
if any of pcmcia_core, ds, or PCMCIA-chip-driver (i82365)
modules depend on other modules, it breaks.

Here's a summary of the solutions I've found

Using modules from kernel-image:

  Don't use PCMCIA controllers on an ISA bus[*]
 or
  Build isa-pnp into the kernel or preload it in /etc/modules[*]
 or
  Delete /lib/modules//pcmcia

Using modules from pcmcia-modules:

  (all steps required)
  
  Build kernel-image/pcmcia-modules with orinoco support
 then
  Install kernel-image
 then
  Delete all of the wireless modules [otherwise you'll get version conflicts]
 then
  Install pcmcia-modules

[Fwd: RE: Compiling for FreeS/WAN]

[curtis]

Unforunately, after doing all of the following yesterday, I was unable to boot 
into my customized kernel.
On the reboot it starts to load linux and then suddenly reboots. 


As I wrote last, here's the way I compiled the kernel with freeswan:

addgroup [username] src #this adds you to the src group - I really don't
 know if this is necessary or not
su [user name]  #so you are now logged in as yourself
(related to the above, I guess a security 
caution)
cd /usr/src 
tar -xf kernel-source-2.4.18.tar  #assuming it is not zipped (also
   untar the freeswan package if you 
   haven't)

ln -s kernel-source-2.4.18 linux
cd linux
make-kpkg -config=menuconfig kernel-image
su root #I had to do this, else it won't create
 the deb kernel image
dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.18..deb


Maybe there was some actions I needed to perform during the kernel config?
I just checked to see if IPSEC FreeS/WAN was included.

First major difference is the removal of that damned Star Office desktop
that you were forced to run.  Each of the interfaces are now seperate.  As
for whether it's worth it or not, I have it installed simply because I
work with people that still rely on MS Office.  If I didn't have to read

There are a lot more errors than that -- any file being copied from types/* to

IIRC, there's a minor bug in the current version of debmirror (haven't
filed a bug against it yet).  However, if you're only going to be
mirroring and using one release it should work ok.  The bug had to do with
the mirroring of the Release files.  The attached patch should fix it.

Unfortunately I'm not at my friend's computer right now, but I'd
like to prepare a little for the next seance -- the last time, of
course, I failed. 
The reason I asked about the 2.4 kernel was that I somehow thought
PPPoE support must be compiled into the running kernel in order to
use it. But this is a different issue, right? After reading some
instructions I came to the conclusion that it's not needed -- what's
more, it could only complicate things even more. Is that correct?
On that computer, I've installed the [1]"Roaring Penguin" which
didn't work -- but there could've been many things wrong. I'm only
asking if the PPPoE support in the 2.4.16 really messes things up.
And is there another approach to this? 

Thanks,

andrej

Now I might be missing something here but there are at least two other
choices:

a) as Chris Halls enlighted debian-user earlier today:

edit /etc/openoffice/autoresponse.conf and change
JavaSupport=preinstalled_or_none
to
JavaSupport=none
then:
rm -r .sversionrc .openoffice
openoffice

b) install OpenOffice with tarball to /usr/local. That will not
require any additional, manual non-deb install of any java-thingy.

There's a HOWTO here (Linux-XFS Howto) available in the Linux 
Documentation Project. Basically, you'll need to do some filesystem 
shuffling here (you can't do a painless conversion ala Ext2 -> Ext3)
as well as install an XFS-enabled kernel.

I'd suggest you grab the CVS version of the XFS-patched Linux kernel 
from oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs. You can build the XFS tools as well as 
the kernel from there.

AFAICS there are three or more ways of using DSL: 

 - direct access
 - PPtP (simple encrypted tunnel protocol)
 - PPPoE (PPP tunneled over Ethernet)

So first find out what the provider does really use.

Errr, "kernel-pppoe" and "pppoe" (aka rp-pppoe) are completely different
implementations. You do not need kernel 2.4.x for Debian's pppoe.

Eduard.

move/rename in cvs

[dman]

Sometimes I want to rename cvs-managed files or directories or I want
to move a file/dir to a different directory.  The only way I have
found, so far, to do that is to go to $CVSROOT and manually change the
repository (potentially dangerous) or to remove and add the file
accordingly (which loses all metadata such as log and history). 
There must be a better way; what is it?

Also, is there a way to create new projects other than
'mkdir $CVSROOT/new_proj'?  I can't checkout a project until it
exists, and I can't add a directory unless I have a local sandbox
(which is created by a checkout).

TIA,

(cvs) import (e.g. "cvs import barham initial some_directory" IIRC) a
blank directory.

# from memory:
mkdir some_dir
cvs import barham initial some_dir
rmdir some_dir
cvs checkout some_dir

   For a new project, the easiest thing to do is probably to create an
empty directory structure, like this:

 $ mkdir tc
 $ mkdir tc/man
 $ mkdir tc/testing

   After that, you use the `import' command to create the corresponding
(empty) directory structure inside the repository:

 $ cd tc
 $ cvs import -m "Created directory structure" yoyodyne/DIR yoyo start

   Then, use `add' to add files (and new directories) as they appear.

   Check that the permissions CVS sets on the directories inside
`$CVSROOT' are reasonable.

Perhaps a little googling might have helped?  I googled for "cvs guide"
and the above are from the first hit.

Yes, use a different source code tracking system.  Since CVS is based
on RCS, there's no metadata kept about file movement.  See BitKeeper,
for instance:
http://www.bitkeeper.com/Products.Comparisons.CVS.html

Also see arch, subversion:
http://subversion.tigris.org/

Sure:

% mkdir blah
% cd blah
% touch afile #optional
% cvs -d import me start

Packages to run kernel 2.4.x on potato (release 26)

[Adrian Bunk]

I have prepared the packages needed to run kernels up to 2.4.18 on a
Debian 2.2r6 (potato) system. Please read [1] for more information.

My packages will be available and and I'll make changes to them if needed
at least as long as Debian gives support (especially regarding security
fixes) for potato (which will most likely be a few months after the
release of Debian 3.0) but don't expect them to be available much longer.

Changes in this release:

  + updated: hotplug (0.0.20010424-2 -> 0.0.20020114-7)
  + updated: kernel-image-2.4.18-i386 (2.4.18-4 -> 2.4.18-5)
  + updated: kernel-source-2.4.18 (2.4.18-4 -> 2.4.18-5)
  + updated: modutils (2.4.6-3 -> 2.4.15-1)
