dosemu-freedos on woody / using glibc from woody+sid?
hi,
the dosemu packages in woody says that there is no freedos-package and
that I should get the freedos binary package from www.dosemu.org
(and that I should read README.Debian for instructions on how to
install it)
However, these instructions don't work with dosemu-freedos-b8p-bin.tgz
(I get something like "no os found").
So I tried the dosemu-freedos package from testing mixed with the
dosemu-package from stable. This doesn't work ("bad or missing command
interpreter" (command.com)).
Now it looks like I have to use the dosemu and dosemu-freedos packages
from testing or sid (it works at a friend's who runs sid).
How can I do this if dosemu depends on glibc-2.3.1-1?:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of dosemu:
dosemu depends on libc6 (>= 2.3.1-1); however:
Version of libc6 on system is 2.2.5-6.
Is there a way (apt-pinning?) that I can use these packages
without compromising my woody system?
thanks!,

woody laptop hangs at various init scripts
I have an elderly Compaq Presario 1020 P120 laptop running Woody with icewm window manager, tetex, emacs, gnumeric, and not much else. One day, out of the blue as far as I can tell, it hangs during the boot process at: Initializing random number generator so I boot from a rescue CD and put exit 0 at the top of /etc/init.d/urandom. Then it hangs at: Configuring network interfaces: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: no such device SIOCSINETMASK: No such device So from the rescue CD I disable /etc/init.d/networking. Then it hangs at: Cleaning: /tmp /var/lock /var/run Losing patience, I reformat and install the base system, since I have a full backup from when the machine was working. The base system boots just fine, but then I restore from backup with: mount /cdrom ; cd / ; tar -xvzf /cdrom/fullbackup.tar.gz I fix lilo.conf and run lilo for the newer kernel, change fstab to stick with ext2 so that copying .journal from backups won't cause problems, reboot, and the system goes back to hanging at various startup scripts. (Now at netenv, which I had disabled after the backup, then at Cleaning: /tmp /var/lock /var/run again.) Note that I don't use a display manager, I used to use 'startx' to start icewm. This seems very odd to me. Any ideas what might be going on? Or how to go about restoring just configuration from backup, preferably without losing the ability to boot? Otherwise I will just start over from the base system, and maybe restore only a few important files like xf86Config and modules.conf. The computer has a pcmcia network card, cdrom, floppy, sb16 sound, neomagic video driver. Sleep and hibernate never worked properly, I did some remapping of the keyboard. That's about all the configuration I can remember. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Recent dist-upgrade in Sarge
Dear all, I've recently done apt-get --fix-missing --fix-broken dist-upgrade on debian-testing (Sarge). Lots of package got thrown out but I see some of them got thrown back in. After the process done. I can see I'm in GNOME2 now. Being experienced with GNOME2 in previous lifetime, I remove sawfish, install metacity*, gtk2-engines*, and do some other things to make my lovely GNOME2 became prettier. But I still found some troubles. For example: 1. When first logged in, I got Settings-Daemon failed to start. And then something that said Gnome-Mixer also failed to load. 2. If I'm not mistaken, There's also a version of nautilus, galeon, and some other packages for GNOME-2, right? But I still can't find it. I figure, is it because the transition still ongoing? So I just need tobe patient a little while. Or is it I'm missing something? Thanks for any clues.

Kirchhoff I ran FVWM (back when it was FVWM2) on my first generation Pentium/90MHz in 80 MiB of RAM and nine desktops loaded with programs (top, system monitors, diald's dctrl gui, Netscape 4, several xterms, emacs) with reasonable comfort and response - only slow aspects were the full hard drives and that I was on dial-up back then. The big consideration is what sort of load are you placing on the hardware and what is it honestly capable of. The Pentium/90MHz system started straining when load pushed much over 2, while my PIII-800MHz with 512 MiB RAM now handles a load of 4-5 comfortably, and only starts to slow as it approaches 7, and crawls at 10. I have seen it hit 12+, but I remember a VAX 11/780 I used a couple decades back hitting a load in excess of 40 at one time when a university course had an assignment due on that machine. That VAX was good up to a load of 10 for interactive functions, and it wasn't until it moved past 15 that it started to be unusable for interactive functions. -- Mark L.

Thanks in advance. I can't say I've read the above guide (and I'm offline now), but here's the quick'n'nasty Debian Way of building a kernel: 0) Install 'build-essential' (required to build anything with the C compiler) and 'kernel-package' (generates kernel-image .debs from your kernel source) and 'fakeroot' (required to build .debs as a normal user). 1) get and untar your kernel source. From kernel.org or a kernel-source- package, it doesn't matter. 2) run 'make menuconfig' (which requires libncurses5-dev to be installed) or 'make xconfig' (which requires tcl and tk to be installed) to configure your kernel just as you like it. Make sure you select the correct CPU type, or it will not boot. Don't forget to include support for your root filesystem (ext2, reiserfs, whatever) AND support for your root hard disk (and IDE controller or SCSI card or whatever) or the kernel will fail to boot. 3) run 'make-kpkg --rootcmd=fakeroot kernel_image kernel_headers'. 4) install the kernel-image and kernel-headers .debs that appear in ../ Note, you only need to be 'root' for step (4). After you've done all that, your new kernel should be installed and ready to go. Just reboot and you should be in your brand spanking new kernel. 'uname -r' lets you check this.

gstreamer problems
Does anybody know why I only get silence when I play a soundfile in gst-player. The time display on gst-player showes that it is playing the file. The following command works fine to play music: 'gst-launch filesrc location=/path/to/file.mp3 ! mad ! alsasink' I only use pure ALSA (OSS emulation drivers are not loaded) together with linux 2.5.73 and Debian Sid, and alsa is the only gstreamer audiosink installed. Also, I have set alsasink to be the default audiosink in the gconf registry. As you can see from the messages from gst-player below, gst-player does use the alsa audiosink.

How to apply no-debianized kernel patch to debianized kernel-source?
Hello everybody I (like many others in the last few days) have a problem with kernel 2.4.21. I have downloaded the kernel-source-2.4.21 deb, and want to apply the acpi patch from acpi.sf.net to it. So here we go: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/linux$ zcat ../acpi-20030619-2.4.21.diff.gz | patch -p1 patching file arch/i386/config.in Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n] n # loads of files produced or patched OK, but also some errors. No matter which option I choose, I cannot apply the acpi patch to the debian kernel-source. Or, when forced, compile fails (surprise, surprise). Unfortunately I am no programmer and can't look into the source and fix the problems myself. Is there a chance to get acpi working on debian kernel-source, or will I have to switch to a kernel.org source-tree? thanks joerg -- Gib GATES keine Chance! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

'make menuconfig' is part of the Linux kernel. libncurses5-dev is distribution-specific. The Linux kernel isn't generally in a position to give you advice on things that differ between distributions.

Kernel 2.4.20
Hi all. I downloaded the file: kernel-source-2.4.20_2.4.20-8_all.deb then ran dpkg -i kernel-source-2.4.20_2.4.20-8_all.deb Ran dselect, and selected the new kernel and told it to configure and install.

3c59x.o && kernel 2.4.18
I'm running debian woody on a AMD Athlon and compiled a new kernel (2.4.18) from kernel.org Menuconfgig goes fine, and so does the compilation process. When I boot up the new kernel, everything seems to be working except for my NIC. I have a 3Com 3C905B-TX (3c59x.o) and it does work with my 2.2 kernel.

Module loads fine during startup, but cant ping anything, eth0 gets no ip from DHCP, and the static IP config fails also. Tried just going ifdown then ifup, made sure module loads, took module off etc etc etc a few times, nothing. Is there something I should be enabling that I'm not?

Info: documentation on Using Samba as a PDC (mainly for starters)
About the whole Samba thing: Some time ago, when looking for Samba information, I got to this very nice document by IBM, freely downloadable from their site, which explains, step-by-step, how to set up a Samba server. I have deployed it on a client as a windows server for win2000 clients, and it works pretty well. The documentation is very easy to follow up and explains the issues with accounts and passwords pretty well. These are the URLs: Online version: http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/esdd/tutorials/samba/ PDF version: http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/esdd/tutorials/samba/samba-ltr.pdf It's a little outdated, but it's still fairly useful.

(These were posted in the thread about the new [EMAIL PROTECTED] worm going
around)
SUBJECT: To be honest...
I can't really see how it's microsofts fault. Reading about it, it comes in a
zip file, the user has to get the zip, extract it and then execute the payload.
Is it just me or is this more like social engineering than a real problem with
the system?
[This is the reply)
SUBJECT: MOD PARENT UP + read my insightful comments ;-)
As the parent poster said, a malicious person trying to do maximum damage would
write for Windows. The Mac is the next best choice because, like Windows, you
don't have big binary compatability problems.
Linux is tougher to write this kind of thing for because it would require that
the user perform so many steps. First the user would have to extract the tar
file from the gzip file. Then he would have to expand the tar archive onto his
hard drive, which would put the source there. Then the user would cd to the
location where the source extracted. Then he would probably have to set various
environment variables. Then he would have to run gmake. Then he would need to
interpret the error messages to determine why the build didn't work. Then he
would have to find and add various development tools and libraries to his
system, adding any environment variables that they needed. Then he could try
building again. When he finally got the build to work, he could then run the
resulting executable, which would tell him to to type "man {trojan/worm name}.
The man page would show various command line switches for specifying the e-mail
client being used and various network options. Then the user would construct
the proper command line to run the program and WHAM! Just like that, his system
is infected.
I may have left out a few steps or so, but you get the idea...

Clarifying/amplifying what I said before: "There can be only one" /.config, so it is replaced each time you save and exit menuconfig or xconfig. (The one you started with is moved to .config.old.) This is true whether or not you use make-kpkg, and it's true whether or not you patch the kernel. make-kpkg puts a copy of .config in the kernel .deb. The config isn't really saved in /boot as I wrote before; it's written there along with the kernel and System.map when you install the kernel .deb. If you want to move a configuration out of harm's way before changing it, the easiest way is probably to copy it to another name (other than .config.old). I'm sorry for the poor wording before; the stuff you already know is for lurkers. :) Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I would guess the problem is at your end, as nobody else has posted that they're having problems with the list. Have a look in your exim logs, and see if there are any messages from the list that are being treated differently to the rest. In particular, make sure you're not bouncing any list mail, or you will end up being automatically unsubscribed. Your exim question did get through, and attracted a reply from the dman himself, which I am quoting below, and also CCing you in case replies to your posts are also not getting through.
