Real Text-Mode
Hi! Does anyone know how to tell debian it should not switch to graphic mode? (640x480 16 cols) I want it to boot in ordinary textmode, but I wasn't able to do it. vga=normal in lilo.conf did not work. Using rdev to alter the kernel file did not work either... Any clues?

Try doing "apt-get install kdelibs3 kdebase-libs" to figure out why apt-get doesn't want to install them[the testing versions are fine[kdebase-libs has identical versions in testing and unstable and kdelibs3 is pretty close to identical[1 packaging version]]. The usual reason would be that something would need to be removed, but nothing in debian conflicts with kdelibs3or kdebase-libs...

dselect purge
Hi, Relative newbie, been wondering about dselect purge option... I had installed quite a bit of stuff and decided to do a major cleanup since most of my time is on console anyways cause i'm still learning Anyways..in dselect i set all these packages to purge. The thing is that after the purge/remove process has finished i still have quite a lot of dirs like gnome...afterstep...etc etc directories in my regular home dir. And during purging i also see the 'blahblah dir not empty so not removed' message flash by...with dirs outside home. Is there a way to make dpkg/deselect purge to really purge...as in..dump it all. I guess it is like it is to prevent user placed or app generated files from getting deleted but it is rather annoying that purge doesn't really purge. cheers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Which one you use depends on three Factors: - Your Users are behind Firewalls: Yes/No - You run your own IRC Server: Yes/No - The Box which runs the HTML-embedded Client is weak: Yes/No The First one, preferred if your Users do NOT run behind Firewalls, you have to use use foreign IRC Servers and if your Webserver is weak is Javachat; the User downloads a small Applet and connects directly to the IRC Server. He shows up on IRC with his own IP. The Second one, preferred if your User DO run behind Firewalls, You use your own administered IRC Server and your Webserver is NOT weak is something like CGI::IRC. That means, the User connects to a CGI, which connects to the IRC Server. The User appears on IRC with the IP of your Webserver. Drawback to this is that most IRC Networks forbid more then a certain amount of connections from one IP, so you had to ask Admins of that Server to raise that Limits.

After reading it, make your own /etc/lilo.conf with the desired options, then run the command "lilo". If everything is allright with your config file, lilo will simply install itself in the bootsector. If you have trouble use one of the example files (probably found in /usr/share/doc/lilo/examples, something like that). It is also wise to create a linux bootdisk during install because lilo may not detect all logical errors in your setup (for instance forgetting to add a root=/dev/hda1 or similar which will cause kernel panic) > can anyone give me idea is > it okay to do partition using magic partition? Best thing to do is just resize your windows partition with partition magic.

I'd say they mean Intel's non-Free C/C++ compiler. It costs a bucket in general, but I think it's free (as in beer) for personal use. Of course, the C++ compiler's ABI is incompatible with every GCC release thus far (not that GCC is even compatible with itself, across releases), so you'll have a hell of a time getting it to integrate int your Debian system, if you decide to use it. Depending on what you do, it can apparently lead to enormous speedups (mostly with numerical code though, or so I hear), but GCC 3.x is closing the gap... Anyhow, I can't imagine that a smart compiler could do *that* much to help, since getting good performance on multi-processor systems is more of a programming design issue, rather than compiler smarts. No doubt having two 'CPU's in the once chip, sharing registers and cache requires some compiler intelligence though. -rob msg22510/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Have you heard about the kernel-image packages? apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-, where arch is something like 386, 686, k7 or whatever. They contain full kernel images, with most everything you could want compiled as modules. Install one, reboot into it and use modconf to load the approprate modules and you should be all set.

Heh, I wrote all the below before even seeing this actual question! Which font are you trying to use? the xfonts-konsole one? It doesn't seem to be in sid ATM, so I guess it's one of Karolina's or Ralf's packages. I'd ask them about it directly or on d-kde...One thought tho, have you added /usr/share/fonts/ (where you say it drops the fonts) to your XF86Config-4? > Before starting, I should state that I "think" I am running the Xserver > without an additional font server (ie neither xfs or xfs-xtt, not xfstt), as > I can't quite understand why I should need it .

XFree86 4.0 introduced support for TrueType fonts, so a font server is useless for 99% of users. If you have a bunch of machines, it might be useful to share fonts amongst them, but aside from that, 'no'. > Anyway, I have started to look at the various packages and config files that > seem to be in use and as far as I can see, I have at least four copies of > some x fonts (particularly the truetype ones) stored on my system > > /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts (with /usr/lib/X11/fonts via symlink) Contains fonts from the xfonts-* packages, AFAIK. > /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs On my system, the files in here are mostly symlinks to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/, and thus take up virtually no space. AIUI, the x-ttcidfont-conf package symlinks all your truetype fonts into here so you can just point X, or ghostscript or whatever at just *one* directory, instead of a whole bunch. I point X at this to catch all the truetype fonts I might install. > /var/lib/defoma/gs.d/dirs/fonts (not sure this is not just ghostscript - but > there are truetype fonts in this directory) Hmmm...on my system, ghostscript owns this...There is a gsfonts-x11 that claims to let X use ghostscript fonts... Oh, wait. It's all symlinks too. I guess it's central location for ghostscript to find all it's fonts...Again, it takes up no space since it's all symlinks. > and > /usr/share/fonts. This contains actual fonts for me. All from msttfcorefonts, AFAICT. > Why the separate places, and which one is correct. Just for simplicity I guess. xfonts-* packages dump their fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, everything else goes in /usr/share/fonts/. The others are just symlink farms to simplify things. FWIW, I have the following FontPath lines: FontPath"/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc" FontPath"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic" FontPath"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo" > My /etc/X11/XFConfig-4 has the following in it > > Section "Files" > FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc" > FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled" > FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled" > FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" > FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc" > # if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these > EndSection > > Since this part of the the file is controlled by debconf - why has it not > added the /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs lines into XFConfig-4. I'm not sure, but I think there's a policy that packages are not allowed to fiddle with each other's configuration files like that. x-ttcidfont-conf does tell you (as a debconf notice, IIRC) to add /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs to your XF86Config-4 file though. > As you can see /usr/share/fonts does not figure - however, the package > xfonts-konsole puts its fonts into the top level of /usr/share/fonts (in a > compressed form?) and then there are type1 and truetype subdirectories with > further directories underneath. Hmmm...sounds like a package bug or such, I'd imagine some sort of hierarchy is intended in /usr/share/fonts/... > Now in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf there is a list of directories that includes > /usr/share/fonts but NOT /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs Ah...fontconfig is brand spanking new, and only entered sid a little while ago (weeks).

Well, those might be the same thing. Yes, some fonts are fine. For example, http://hank.org/images/fonts.png the side-bar menu fonts look worse on mozilla (the one on the left), although I'm using my laptop now and the look better in that image than on my CRT (Sony 21") on my desktop. Is mozilla using anti-aliased fonts there? The other problem with that image is the drop-down form in Opera. Notice the "United States" in mozilla with the fonts on Opera. Much bigger in Opera. IIRC I think adding the truetype fonts caused that. The next image http://hank.org/images/fonts2.png is showing the results of using XftConfig to enable AA fonts -- the difference is seen in Opera. I guess AA fonts are a personal thing, as they look fuzzy to me. http://hank.org/images/fonts3.png does look better on my laptop than on my CRT. The google results in mozilla the characters are of different thicknesses -- or even different parts of a single character vary in line thickness. On my CRT it kind of looks like random characters are bold. Also in the image you can see xfontsel using the comic sans ms font. Why in the world is it doing that? I have not specified any fonts in .Xdefaults or any other place that I can think of. So yes, it's proably a matter of the wrong fonts. I don't understand how applications like Opera and Mozilla select fonts. What is Opera doing to get that big thick font for the form elements? It would be nice to be able to monitor what fonts the applcication is requesting and what fonts the X server is supplying. In the form field case I suspect that Mozilla and Opera are selecting similar fonts, but different enough that the X server is supplying very different fonts.

Shouldn't the floppy module got loaded automatically?

The conffiles will be listed. It is exactly what I was asking for. However it is not what I was hoping for. Reading the man page in detail I can see why I never would have put those two things together. Nothing in there says I should be using this option to look for conf files. dpkg -s | --status package-name ... plays the entry in the installed package status database. Report status of specified package. This just displays the entry in the installed package status database. I had tried the -p option. Which is very similar. But it does not display the conffiles like this -s option does. One would have to "become familar with _all_ available information" [US-FAR 91.103 Preflight Action] in order have discerned this capability. I think I will wishlist an item for dpkg such that it would include an option to directly list out the conf files. Similar to the 'rpm -qc' capability. Because I can't think of a way to improve the documentation sufficiently to cover this point.

Hi all, Sorry for the newbie question, but I have been having a bear of a problem configuring sound under kernel 2.4.19 for my Yamaha opl3sa3. My machine is a NEC Direction SPT 200.

The above modules do not appear to be using any ioports or interrupts according to /proc. dmesg says that isapnp, ad1848 and opl3sa2 did not find any plug and play devices.

Home wired+wireless network configuration advice needed
Hi, I would appreciate if somebody could give me some help with the following network setup problem: I used to have a very simple home network setup. All computers plus the DSL router were connected to a single ethernet switch and were sharing the same subnet. Each PC had the DSL router as the default gateway, and each could talk to all other PC, but most importantly to my fileserver that had some directories exported both through nfs and samba. Then I bought a notebook and things got a bit complicated. The notebook has a built in 100MBit ethernet card, and I also have a PCMCIA wireless network card (Orinoco Gold). The later will connect to the network via an access point connected to the same switch. Now, what I would like to achieve is pretty simple: I would like to be able to use either of the two NICs in the notebook to access the same network. This mainly because the wireless NICs seem unbearably slow compared to the 100MBit line when browsing files on the fileserver. e.g. opening simple pictures can take several seconds etc. So I thought that I would prefer to use the built in NIC whenever I am at my desk, where I have a fixed cable I can plug into it. And use the wireless card whenever I'm somewhere else. Ideally, I would like to do this without constantly reconfiguring network interfaces, and if possible without needing to unplug the PCMCIA card whenever I want to use the other NIC. I'm certainly no networking expert but I believe I have some basic understanding about TCP/IP. However I completely lack any experience in routing and having multiple network interfaces in the same PC. I've read a bunch of HOWTOs, but I couldn't deduce from them the best way to proceed... My first thought was to simply assign two differnt IP addresses from the same subnet to each of the interfaces. e.g. 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.11 However, some people claimed that this is not possible. (I have a dual boot setup to Windows XP, and XP does not seem to have a problem with this. Allthough based on the above advise I usually have only one of the NICs up at any given time, but I also tried having both and XP didn't complain...) So if the above is indeed not possible, then I guess I would need to have either a simple way to switch between the two interfaces, or I need to configure both NICs to be on a different subnet. However then there is the issue on how do I access the same Internet gateway and the same fileserver with both cards? I guess I would need to add another NIC to one of the other machines, configure it to be on the second subnet, and then set up some kind of routing or bridging between the two networks... Again, I'm not an expert but this seems awfully complicated for such a simple task. Also this way the network access through that subnet will depend on the other machine being up and running. Allthough this is probably not a big problem as the file server is right below my desk and it is on all the time, but it is still another dependency. Are there any better solutions? If not, how would I set up routing between the two subnets? Should I simply set the default gateway of the second NIC on the routing machine to be the IP address of the first NIC? Could I somehow set the metric values of the interfaces somehow, so that whenever it is up the 100MBit indirect route will be prefered even though the wireless NIC is directly connected to the other subnet? Finally for reference, here is my current network setup and what I was about to do unless someone has a better solution: Stuff connected to my switch: - DSL Internet router at 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 - Fileserver at 192.168.1.2 same netmask, gw 192.168.1.1 - Wireless access point at 192.168.1.3 gw 192.168.1.1 - My wife's PC at 192.168.1.4 gw 192.168.1.1 - Notebook either through: - 100 Mbit 192.168.1.5 gw 192.168.1.1 or - wireless (under XP) 192.168.1.6 gw 192.168.1.6 usually only one of the is active What I thought abit doing: - wireless card on notebook permanently configured as 192.168.1.5 - add NIC to fileserver with 192.168.2.1 gw 192.168.1.2 (!?) - 100MBit on notebook configured as 192.168.2.2 Questions: - Is there a better way? - Would this work? - Can I connect to shared stuff on other computers (192.168.1. subnet) through the 192.168.2.2 interface? - Can I make it prefer the 192.168.2.2->192.168.1.2->192.168.1.X route instead of the direct but slower 192.168.1.5->192.168.1.X route?

sound when playing audio files, but not when playing cd
Hi, I have a small problem, whenever I try to play a cd (I use gtcd) the cd starts playing but there is no sound coming out. I don't know why, when starting gtcd from a terminal and playing the cd I see no error messages. I checked my mixer settings and cd sound is at same level as other sounds and not muted.

Can you show the output of 'lspci' (from the pciutils package)? I am skeptical that you are using the right driver if it is not working. Can you boot a KNOPPIX cd and see if it detects your sound and if so copy that configuration? This is a little bit of effort.

Firstly, you want to quote '[l]pd', like so, in case you ever find yourself running it in a directory where there is a file called lpd. Secondly, there is no difference between what's matched by the regular expressions /lpd/ and /[l]pd/ (I'm using the slashes there in sed/awk/perl style to distinguish them more clearly from strings); both match the sequence of three characters 'l', 'p', and 'd'. (/[l]/ is a character class containing only the character 'l'; see 'man 7 regex'.) The only thing that /[l]pd/ does is ensure that the grep doesn't find the running grep command itself among the list of running processes output by 'ps ax'. The regular expression /[l]pd/ does not match the character string '[l]pd'. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Help on iptables
Hi, folks: I have a new machine running Linux 2.4.20 set up as a bridge between an outside cable service and an internal home network. The outside NIC uses DHCP, and the inside network has a fixed IP address system. As things stand now, when I take down the firewall established by the default firestarter config script, I can see the inside network and the outside network from the bridge. From the inside machines I can see all the other inside machines and the bridge, but not the outside world. So both NICs are working correctly. When I put the firewall back up, I can no longer see the inside machines, and they can't see me, but they can still see each other. So the problems that I have are that the default firewall is not permitting any traffic to the inside network, and the firewall is not forwarding appropriate inside traffic to the external NIC with masquerading. I had gotten pretty much up to speed with ipchains, but iptables is very new to me. Could you answer three questions for me: 1. What is the magic to open my internal network (eth0) to all traffic. 2. What is the magic to permit forwarding and masquerading of the internal traffic directed to outside machines? 3. What is a good source of documentation about iptables so that I can get up to speed with it. Many thanks in advance for any help that you can give me. Larry Hunsicker __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

That is more a grep question than a a bash question. grep has a special meaning for [...], i.e match any character found inside the brackets (also known as character class). So "grep [l]pd" will match "lpd" but not "[l]pd" and thus leave out the match for grep itself. Nice trick.

RE: Help Configuring Sound
However when I try to start any sound application, I get a "/dev/dsp: No such device" error message. The above modules do not appear to be using any ioports or interrupts according to /proc. dmesg says that isapnp, ad1848 and opl3sa2 did not find any plug and play devices. It seems to me that I am not actually successfully loading the modules even though they appear when I lsmod. I am new to 2.4 kernels, but I was under the impression that the isapnp module would take care of the ioports and interrupts. Any suggestions? Yours, Streph *** Hi Streph, /dev/dsp message you mentioned usually means you don't have the right module for your chipset installed.

As far as grep is concerned, [l] is a regular expression that matches any single character that is a lowercase l. lp[rd] would match either lpr or lpd. The important effect here is that lpd and [l]pd both match 'lpd', but neither matches '[l]pd', so the grep process itself isn't included in the ps listing. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.

Maybe you could try Marillat's Debianized source packages, available at: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/ I forgot the "apt-get source" line.
