Degraded fonts
Hi list, yesterday I updated my unstable and since fonts in some programs like mozilla (menu, folder list, mail list but mail viewer is ok!) or gaim are degraded which means not regular. KDE or console, mplayer... fonts are ok. Any idea? Also, I'm not able to change language in Mozilla. I can download new languages but no icon or something like this to tell this is my default language. Thanks for any idea. -- : __ __ __ __ __ __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] : /_// __ // __ //_// __ // / phone.: +48 32 285 4554 : / / / /_/ // /_/ / / / / /_/ // / fax: +48 32 285 4554 : /_/ /_//_/ /_/ /_/ /_//_/ mobile..: +48 602 284 546 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Upgrade? Dist-Upgrade? OR.. ? Oh one more I personnaly do it like this : i always use upgrade, and once that is done, if they were hold packages, i install them one bye one (or in block) and verify that nothing untoward happens. This is the safest way tyo upgrade, as you will catch any new package which will remove huge parts of your installed packages. Usually such problems are due to a lag in new packages upload or something and will usually go away in a few days. The ideal would be a new apt keyword which would enable to install new package but not remove old ones.

MySQL over NFS
Hi, I've got to install a MySQL server with a hihg availabity configuration: one MySQL server running and the other in standby. I was thinking about using a NAS serving NFS partitions. But I have read documents about database servers (like oracle and others) not running well over NFS filesystems (because they use raw files). Do you know if there is any problem to run MySQL over a NFS filesystem? Or do you know any other way to configure MySQL with high availabiliy?

This is dirty but it worked for me:
if you have all the deb packages in your hard disc, go to that directory and
issue this:
find . -name '*deb' -exec dpkg --force-all -i {} \;
this traverses down file hierarcy and installs each deb package without
considering any dependencies, and removing previous versions ruthlessly. Then
all becomes installed but some unsatisfied dependencies emerges.
To correct these be sure you have a debian mirror in your
/etc/apt/sources.list and issue
apt-get update
apt-get install -f
Use your at your own risk though.
Oguz.

Never ever ever ever ever use --force-all. Ever. Once upon a time
somebody produced some broken KDE packages which contained a file (not a
directory) called /usr/sbin by mistake. This would normally have been OK
because dpkg would have refused to install them, but one person
installed with --force-all, which includes --force-overwrite-dir.
Suddenly his /usr/sbin directory disappeared to be replaced by a useless
file. You can imagine that it took him a while to restore his system.
> Use your at your own risk though.
This is actively dangerous. --force-depends is one thing (somewhat
unwise, but perhaps not too bad if you know you intend to fix everything
up afterwards); --force-all is quite another.

You also need to install the nvidia-glx package and then modify your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 like the following description from the nvidia-glx readme file: If you already have an XF86Config file working with a different driver (such as the 'nv' or 'vesa' driver), then all you need to do is find the relevant Device section and replace the line: Driver "nv" (or Driver "vesa") with Driver "nvidia" In the Module section, make sure you have: Load "glx" You should also remove the following lines: Load "dri" Load "GLcore" Note: if you have version 4.x of the X server (you can check this with 'dpkg --status xserver-common'), which is most probably the case, then you have to edit XF86Config-4 instead of XF86Config.

Re: "resetting" a network card
Hi, I'm not sure about resetting the stats for ifconfig, but if you use IPtables on your box, you can setup a accounting chain for the IP (i think you can also use the "eth" address, tho never have needed to do it by "eth") which then logs the packets and data, you can then reset the IPtables accounting chain which effectively resets the accounting chain stats.

I suspect it is just a matter of "free" time to make the debs, and other things have more priority. There has to be a companion package the each of the various "kernel-image" offerings. Considering this and the fact there are 11 different CPU types, this represents a LOT of debs to compile! I have compiled the ALSA modules, and it isn't all that hard IF you know a bit about compiling and are comfortable with the process. The instructions on the ALSA site are pretty clear. The debs cover all the possible sound cards from what I see, while the instructions I used was oriented towards just compiling the modules you needed for your card. One is a "generic" approach, while the other is specific to your card(s). This all may become moot when ASLA gets embedded into the kernel. I hear that it is in the 2.5.XX developemental kernels now and will be part of the 2.6.X series when it is released. I also have observed that for most sound cards I have used, the OSS drivers built into the "stock" kernels work just as well as ALSA. I really don't see any advantages to ALSA (for me) at this time. It all boils down to working through the configuration of each type/method, and each way has its advantages and disadvantages, IMHO.

Re: make-kpkg, stock kernel, and alsa
Kent West wrote: I've compiled a kernel or few, but mostly just stumbled through the process. Question 1: -SNIP- < Near as I can tell, there are no binary alsa drivers; I have to download the source and compile. However, apparently I can't compile the alsa modules without having the full kernel source for my running kernel. Can anyone confirm or deny this? It seems a bit crazy that I can't run alsa modules with a stock kernel, forcing me to roll my own kernel. Perhaps there's a good reason for that? Or am I misunderstanding? You don't have to do a complete kernel compile on the source, but you must "prep" the source package to look like it COULD compile your existing kernel. This is needed to setup the source so it will provide the necessary external headers, etc. for the ALSA compile. If you already have the 2.4.20-K7 kernel running on your machine from the pre-compiled debs, all you have to do is the following: 1. Link the kernel-source tree to /usr/src/linux (ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20 /usr/src/linux) 2. Do a "make mrproper" on the new kernel source tree to set everything back to a "pristine" state. This step WILL erase any existing .config files! This is really just a check, as you shouldn't really needed it on a newly installed kernel-source package... just my parinoia showing . 3. Copy /boot/config-2.4.20-K7 /usr/src/linux/.config 4. Run "make oldconfig" 5. Run "make dep". Your kernel is now preped to compile any program against your specific kernel being used. If you have rolled your own kernel, then these steps should have already been done, and you would want to use the existing "prep" you used to compile it. You can then use any available method to compile the ALSA modules and programs from the Alsa-source from this point. When I downloaded the alsa-source, it put a tar.bz2 file in /usr/src. I bunzip2'ed it and untarred it, which put the "alsa-driver" directory in /usr/src/modules. I also downloaded the kernel-headers. Then run I run cd into /usr/src/linux and "make-kpkg modules", it seems to think I'm compiling a kernel instead of just the modules against the headers. But as I say, I'm just stumbling through, so am probably expecting too much or am doing the wrong thing(s). I don't use the "make-kpkg" method, so I cannot comment on your procedure. I learned the "old way", but I believe the prep of the kernel is still needed for kpkg to work correctly... It just might be leading you through these prep steps... dunno. Automated programs that I don't understand make me nervous;) Question 2: Closely related, last time I faced a situation like this, I downloaded the kernel source for the same version of stock kernel I was running and copied the "config-[kernelverson]" file to /usr/src/linux/.config, and then compiled, expecting to get almost the exact same kernel I started with. However, it wasn't nearly the same (I don't remember the details now). I know this is vague information, but does anyone have an explanation for that? See the above procedure. The "make mrproper", "make oldconfig" and "make dep" steps are important to setup the kernel source to use the imported config file from /boot/.

So that may be the way to go. Just to follow up my own post. I'm using a new batch of cdrs and on 2 different burners cat /dev/device > test.iso fails, as does md5sum /dev/device but dd if=/dev/device of=test.iso succeeds. If I recreate the iso using mkisofs after mounting the cdrom, the 2 iso's give different md5sums. If I mount the isos on the loop device and do a file by file md5sum, the 2 sets of sums are the same. So it looks like the only way to verify your cd is on a file by file basis. It also looks a bit like I have a sus batch of cdrs because I've made 2 coasters in 2 weeks, none at all from the batch before that.

I would for sure strongly reccomend against MySQL over NFS. NFS locking on linux is pretty bad still, and NFS in general isn't the most reliable thing. Nor is it secure.

In any case I reccomend stunnel or some sort of vpn between the machines, or a 2nd nic in each one connected to an isolated switch for the communications between them(even a VLAN on an existing switch is probably good enough though not perfect). nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I've been using the file by file method in backup scripts without any problems except when I get the odd coaster. So that may be the way to go. Just to follow up my own post. I'm using a new batch of cdrs and on 2 different burners cat /dev/device > test.iso fails, as does md5sum /dev/device but dd if=/dev/device of=test.iso succeeds. If I recreate the iso using mkisofs after mounting the cdrom, the 2 iso's give different md5sums. If I mount the isos on the loop device and do a file by file md5sum, the 2 sets of sums are the same. So it looks like the only way to verify your cd is on a file by file basis. It also looks a bit like I have a sus batch of cdrs because I've made 2 coasters in 2 weeks, none at all from the batch before that.

Personally I wouldn't recommend it in a production environment. My system is in my room and I'm the only one who uses it. Since the database is operating via the network (assuming your MySQL server is receiving commands from another host), having its backing store via NFS will just enlarge the network traffic (assuming NFS and the other host are on the same network channel). If this is the case then there may be some speed problem. > Or do you know any other way to configure MySQL with > high availabiliy? Replication. From: http://www.mysql.com/news/article-54.html One way replication can be used is to increase both robustness and speed. For robustness two (or more) systems can used to switch to a backup server if you have problems with the master. The extra speed is achieved by sending part of the non-updating queries to the replica server. Replication can also benefit database backup operations. Live backups of the system can be done on a slave instead of a master, eliminating potential problems and possible downtime.

Kmail and my existing folder setup
After my recent, successful upgrade to KDE 3.1, I took a quick look at it's mail app, "KMail". I *thought* it would take me through a wizard to set things up, but no it just used my existing mail and folder structure that I've created with procmail and used with mutt for a while. Later, I went back to mutt and noticed that my "main" folder was empty. The problem is, it was named "trash" as I hadn't worked out my procmail filtering yet... :-( I don't think there was anything terribly important in there, but I don't know for sure either. If they're all gone, they're gone and I won't dwell on it. If I can get them back though, I'd sure like to give it a try !! I assume KMail creates a "trash" folder. I did look at some settings and it is NOT set to empty deleted messages on exit, so I would think they'd still be there. If they are, I'm blind. Any ideas or help ?? Thanks !

Re: must.. surpress ... murderous rage.... (simple boot floppy qveshtion)
Victor Stan said: > Why is Debian so retarded on simple boot floppies??? Red Hat is like: > makebootdisk And done! WHY WHY WHY? I think debian 2.2 had the mkbootdisk program. I don't see it in 3.0. I really didn't like it. Main reason was that it seemed to use SYSLINUX and created a boot disk which I was unable to pass kernel parameters to at runtime. e.g. different root partition, scsi driver options(most often used is aic7xxx=no_reset), memory options(mem=XXXM), init options (init=/bin/bash) ..maybe the redhat version is different in this regard. Second, because of the above the bootdisk was generally tied to a specific system, since my root device is usually different on most every machine I have. Looking at the mkbootdisk manpage on my redhat 7.3 makes me think of this tool I used on debian 2.2, not 100% sure but it looks the same ..looking at the /sbin/mkbootdisk script(bash script) itself I think confirms it, it uses a MSDOS filesystem on the floppy and uses syslinux to make the disk:( ugh. The syslinux package description on debian 3.0 even says: "SYSLINUX is probably not suitable as a general purpose boot loader. However, SYSLINUX has shown itself to be quite useful in a number of special-purpose applications." so, I make my boot disks manually using lilo, there seem to be some boot/root disk tools(apt-cache search bootdisk). Gives me the flexibility I need.

Here is what I get if I do mkboot, a lost and found folder and a vmlinuz file. I tried this before, it doesn't work, but in the man it says something about if lilo is in use it des something with lilo??? I don't want anything but a simple straightforward way to make a simple straightforward boot disk that is all. How exactly, does Debian do it when it installs itself? It asked me if I want a boot floppy and then it made one simple as that. Why does that application/script not exist now when everything is in place? OR, here is another avenue; I already have the old original 2.2. floppy and it gives me a boot: prompt (for like 3 seconds!) can I put any stuff in there that will allow me to boot the new kernel?

The navy knows how to travel in style. Good food and drink with clean sheets to sleep on. - Original Message - From: Bill Cannon To: PROMISE;CIRCLE Sent: 3/5/03 7:26:05 PM Subject: Go Navy! Thanks to Dawn O. & Jim P. Subject: Ironsides Some little known American military history. The U.S.S. Constitution (Old Ironsides) as a combat vessel carried 48,600 gallons of fresh water for her crew of 475 officers and men. This was sufficient to last six months of sustained operations at sea. She carried no evaporators (i.e. fresh water distillers!). However, let it be noted that according to her log, "On July 27, 1798, the U.S.S. Constitution sailed from Boston with a full complement of 475 officers and men, 48,600 gallons of fresh water, 7,400 cannon shot, 11,600 pounds of black powder and 79,400 gallons of rum." Her mission: "To destroy and harass English shipping." Making Jamaica on 6 October, she took on 826 pounds of flour and 68,300 gallons of rum. Then she headed for the Azores, arriving there 12 November. She provisioned with 550 pounds of beef and 64,300 gallons of Portuguese wine. On 18 November, she set sail for England. In the ensuing days she defeated five British men-of-war and captured and scuttled 12 English merchantmen, salvaging only the rum aboard each. By 26 January, her powder and shot were exhausted. Nevertheless, although unarmed she made a night raid up the Firth of Clyde in Scotland. Her landing party captured a whisky distillery and transferred 40,000 gallons of single malt Scotch aboard by dawn. Then she headed home. The U.S.S. Constitution arrived in Boston on 20 February, 1799, with no cannon shot, no food, no powder, no rum, no wine, no whisky and 38,600 gallons of stagnant water.

It looks like an error when it was making the file (or else it has
error messages embedded in it); specifically, unwind-dw2-fde-glibc.o
references the abort function but it was not resolved.
Take a look at unwind-pe.h line 76.

int main(int argc, char * argv[]) {
if(argc == 2) {
x = 2;
}

Problems building a GCC cross compiler using the toolchain-sourcepackage
Hello, I'm trying to build a cross compiler using the toolchain-source and dpkg-cross packages, along the lines of what is described at http://people.debian.org/~debacle/cross.html But I'm running into problems: 1. When building binutils the scripts complain about dh_split not found. I thought this was part of the debhelper package but it is not. Where do I find it? The scripts keep processing though, so I'm assuming this is harmless, but I really don't know. 2. When building gcc, dpkg-checkbuilddeps complains with "Build conflicts: libgcc300" and aborts processing. I don't want to override this with the -d flag because I believe my host machine is going to be toasted with the wrong libraries. What is the work around? My host machine is an Intel PC running Debian/unstable. I would appreciate any suggestions.

By default, mail ends up in /var/spool/mail/(username), but typically mail to root is forwarded to the admin's non-root account. /etc/aliases is a common place to find mail mappings of this sort. Additionally, any user can forward his mail elsewhere with a .forward file in his home directory. Craig pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I am using an up-to-date sid. It's because apt some weird ideas about package versions. It basically refuses to let you keep installed a locally built package if a package of the same version is available in sources.list. Personally I think this is quite braindead.

In many cases the mail to root will end up there. Please look in /etc/aliases to see which user is getting the root mail (root is not expected to read his mail himself - because of security considerations) Next you should have look in directory /home/target-user-for-the-root-mail.

Unable to mount cd burner as read device
Greetings, I need advise as to what might've become bollixed after a kernel upgrade. Problem: Unable to mount the scsi (real, native, scsi cd burner for reading). Symptoms: mount /dev/sr0 will immediately spool up the cd-r/w after 3-5 minutes of running a message is printed: media not found. Or sometimes: too many files systems mounted, or bad block, or wrong file system type. At this point if one does "cdrecord -scanbus" the device will have been removed from the bus, invocation of Xcdroast will confirm by stating :" something on the scsi bus has changed, please run config." A reboot (hard boot) later and everything is back on the bus and addressable, one may burn cd's but not read them from the native scsi device. The IDE cdrom works fine and is running in scsi emulation. I have mucked about changing /etc/fstab device names and relinking (/dev/scd0 instead of /dev/sr0, etc.) to no difference. Also noted are links in the home dir. that were never there before, deleting these cause no problems but they are returned at each reboot. The mount point "/cdrom" seems to have been added to at the time of the kernel update also (the mount point dir. /cdrom now has a subdir. //cdrom0 which makes no sense to me) the additional sub directory will always reinstall if removed at subsequent reboots. DAMN annoying, as my Microlite BackupEdge/RecoverEdge software is now an expensive virtual boat anchor It requires that the cdr device be able to read and write. I was thinking the there is something someplace about max_devices sometimes needing to be reset with the 2.4.18 and upward kernels (at least on Debian), and dim memory vaguely recollects some type of scsi wait/time out issues with some cd devices, BUT, I am not sure where or how to proceed. System: Debian 3.0,2.4.19-k6, Attached are some files I hope will be descriptive and helpful. NOTE: these are from a state where the cd burner is recognized and would run through cdrecord or what you will. As a quick after thought, I wonder if perhaps the proper Cdr. device in the 2.4.xxx series for cdrecord, cdparanioa might not be an sg designation? If so how to set/ find proper sg#?

Sorry - my error.I should have phrased this differently. The detection I am refering to is that the installer detects the NIC as being a sis900.Dhcp - no dice.I did give up on it because it looks like the kernel on those images doesn't support anything else then ext2/3 file systems and thats what I want to avoid in the first place. I did report some of this malaise to the debian-boot mailing list.Only response I got was about not having enough memory. Just use the 'boot.iso' if you don't have a problem with ext2/3.That works fine for my sis900 and once that works you can update anything you feel like - except the file system the OS is on.

It's a perl script that mirrors what ever sections/arch/dists you want by reading the Packages file. -- Jason Chambers ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Leicester, England Registered Linux User #271693 (http://counter.li.org) pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Also, I had a similar issue with my first potato install a couple of years ago. I finally had to hard-wire the http_proxy variable in order to get the install to work. I seems like the Debian installer is just not proxy friendly yet (although it makes an attempt at it). Thanks for the help. Brian __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Check out how mine is: > http://www.the-penguin.org.uk/fucked.png When I looked, I thought maybe it was using 2-byte characters - and "charset=unicode utf-16" seems to back that up. Then while copying & pasting for this email, I noticed something else: charset=unicode utf-16" There's no opening quote. So perhaps Konq is failing to recognise that it is 16bit? This was kind of interesting too: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp$ wget http://www.daniel-kuefner.de/j1/installation.html 10:49:29 (170.62 KB/s) - `installation.html' saved [7338/7338] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp$ file installation.html installation.html: MPEG 1.0 layer 3 audio stream data, 48 kBit/s layer 2 audio stream data, 56 kBit/s, stereo MPEG??? but I guess perhaps file can't cope with 16bit data either.
