Keep in mind, however, that the reverse action from your side of the modem may not be what others see; it may be working but you can't see it. After you set up port forwarding on your DSL modem then you may want to ask a friend or someone with a different net IP address to try and report what he or she sees.

Re: [OT] Why does X need so much CPU power?
I'm not a gamer myself. Occasionally I might play a game of chess on the net, and on an install the first things I get rid of are games. They just take up too much space, because they simply aren't condusive to the direction I'm heading in. BUT:- The lad has a point. If it wasn't for gaming, graphics cards, processor development, and a number of other computor applications would be stuck at a stage not all that far advanced from the point of electricity invention Gaming has been , if not the foremost innovating force, at least in the top two.

Electric traction offers a few benefits: - Quieter. - Less (near zero) right-of-way (RoW) pollution. - Better high-speed performance. - Fewer ventilation issues for tunnels or enclosed operations (e.g.: RR terminals). - Ability to power all axels. This last provides several benefits. One is to reduce the amount of slam between cars as the train accelerates or decellerates. Ordinarially, cars pack into the locomotive as the train slows, and start moving incrementally as the train starts (incidentally distributing the startup load). More significantly though, for long trains, is the elimination of the stringlining problem. This is the result of having all your motive force at one end of a long line of cars, while drag is distributed through the train. On a long curve (or series of curves), the tendency is for the string to straighten out. This has resulted in several derailments in mountainous regions, notabily Dunsmuir in northern California (near Mt. Shasta, just south of the Oregon border). Downsides of electrification are notably the cost of electrifying the RoW, and aquisition of stock. Also, back in my intern days at SMUD, I recall that the city's light rail system operated in power blocks seperated (though not fully independent of) the city grid, largely because of the acceleration and deceleration power draws and surges.

The uhci and ohci are for different USB controllers on your PC. The uhci is for VIA chipsets (and a few others - I not sure which though) and the ohci covers the rest. Only one will work with your PC. If you use lspci -vv to see the details of your USB controller it should show either UHCI or OHCI.

zmodem file transfer w/ minicom over serial connection
I'm still trying to debug my file transfers between two Debian GNU/Linux
systems using zmodem file transfers from within minicom, over a serial
connection.
I'm running minicom over a null-modem serial cable settings: 57600 8N1.
File transfer setting is:
zmodem /usr/bin/sz -vv -be YUN Y Y
I've played with that a bit, the default is /usr/sbin/sz -vv -b.
When initiating a transfer, I do:
$ rz# on the remote side of the link.
Remote side shows:
rz waiting to receive.**B010023be50
^AS # in minicom to start the transfer.
Select protocol and file to transfer.
The zmodem dialog shows:

And back on the remote side I have:

Retry 0: Got TIMEOUTe.**B010023be50
C **B010023be50
Transfer incomplete
Both sides have the lrzsz package installed.
I'm stumped. This doesn't appear to be a frequently used configuration
;-)
I've tried setting the blocksize ("-k") and escape control chars ("-e")
on send side, as well as connection baud rates of 9600, 19200, 38400,
and 57600. None of these appears to make a difference.
Assistance appreciated.

Debian packages aren't signed. There are authentication requirements
for uplaoding packages to distribution servers.
There are various reasons for this. Joey Hess is probably closest to
the authoritative source.
Many files within many debian packages _do_ have MD5 sums. The debsums
package allows you to validate installed files against an md5sum
database. Think through what it is you're trusting when you do this.

Not necessarily so.Axle-hung (and hence unsprung) electric motors are far harder on the tracks than steam locomotives are.(This would apply to any diesel-electrics with axle-hung motors as well, of course). The Southern Railway in Britain found this out when it extended its suburban electrification to its main lines. Axle-hung motors are fine at lower speeds but when speeds get over the 60mph mark, the track starts to suffer. As to steam, the 'hammer-blow' is caused by the balance weights used to balance out the weight of the pistons in a fore-and-aft direction.It was found that three- and four-cylinder steam locomotives often needed very little or no balance at all, and hence caused no hammer-blow. cr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug (proposed) - lockd_down: lockd failed to exit
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Below the contents of a bug report I plan to submit against sysvinit. The bug concerns an error message on console during poweroff when unmounting NFS-shares. Any comments/suggestions welcome. Frans Pop From: Frans Pop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: umountnfs.sh: lockd_down: lockd failed to exit Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Package: sysvinit Version: 2.84-2woody1 This bug also concerns package nfs-common, version 1:1.0-2woody1. During poweroff I always get the following message on console: unmounting remote filesystems... \ lockd_down: lockd failed to exit, clearing pid \ done This is on a desktop client for a Debian Woody NFS-server. I have NFS-kernel support compiled in the kernel, so when the system is up I have (from ps alx): F UID PID ... WCHAN STAT ...

K81nfs-common - stops /sbin/rpc.statd S10portmap - stops /sbin/portmap S19devfsd S20sendsigs S31umountnfs.sh- runs umount -tnfs -f -a -r; causing the error message By the time umountnfs.sh is run, only [rpciod] and [lockd] are still running. Part of the problem could be that, because I have NFS-kernel support, rpc.lockd is not run on my system and umount thinks it should be running. I think this may be part of the problem because it looks like umountnfs.sh tries to remove a PID (for rpc.lockd?). I am running /devfs. This could also be part of the problem as it is stopped (S19devfsd) before umountnfs.sh is run.

IDE hard drive failure
Hi, One of my drives (the least important, thank God!) failled recently. Since I can't afford taking it to some company that recovers data I was thinking of using software to try to recover the best I could. I found a very good program named my_rescue that does some of the dd work, but if it founds a bad cluster skips it a continues to get the rest of the data. It also saves the status of it's work so you can try at a latter time to recover that data that you didn't get the first time. The problem now is that BIOS doesn't always recognize the drive. :/ And that brings me to the question: Do you know of any program that allows access to a drive bypassing the BIOS? BTW, would you recommend RAID5 using an entire disk and two partitions of another? (If it's even possible to do that...)

I ran as > root and as common user in both cases. In general you're not going to be able to allocate more than 2GB of RAM on a 32-bit system like the Pentium. While Intel played some tricks with the hardware and actually implemented a 36-bit address bus (I think it's 36 bits anyway), applications generally use 32-bit pointers on a 32-bit CPU and they're assumed to be signed so that limits you to 2^31 bytes of memory, or 2048MB (2GB). What the 6GB of RAM buys you is that you could run 3 separate processes each using 2GB of RAM and never hit your swap space, but a single application can't use more than 2GB at a time, in general. There may be low-level things in the kernel that would allow you to use more than 2GB of RAM, but I'm not familiar with them and it certainly wouldn't be portable. If you need an application to have access to more than 2GB of RAM then you need to get a 64-bit system like an Alpha, Sparc or Itanium.

Hello all, I've just installed Jabber 1.4.2 and the server seems to be working but I can't register/connect.

Once upon a time, long, long ago, there were character terminals that knew *only* uppercase. They were not able to display lowercase.

First, I may be behind on my Intel marketing, but aren't the Xeon line of processors just good ole Pentium 4's (32-bit) with extra cache? Is Intel marketing the Itanium (64-bit) under the Xeon name? Second, did these applications ever work under Linux on your system? If indeed Intel is selling 64-bit Xeons(TM) using Itanium processors then I'll have to pass on answering your questions as I have no experience with Linux on the Itanium processor. My no-experience guess would be that you'd need to compile the kernel with Itanium support, which I don't see as an option in my 2.4.21 kernel configuration, and install 64-bit Itanium versions of the applications you're trying to use.

(If it's even possible to do that...) > Putting on my "ten years of experience working for a backup software company" hat, here's my take: 1. If the BIOS doesn't always recognize the drive, then you have one of three problems: bad BIOS, bad cable, bad drive. Since the drive has already failed once, you're pretty sure it's the third reason. Try swapping/re-seating the cables or reconfiguring the master/slave relation on your IDE bus. If the problem persists then it's time to start using that drive for a doorstop, bookend, or other purpose suitable to its proven reliabilty. 2. No inherent problems with using RAID 5 as you describe, but if the performance and reliability benefit gained by using a RAID is worth the extra work setting it up and recovering when things really go wrong, then it should be worth plunking down a few hundred $ for two brand new identical high-performance, high reliability drives. Unless you just want to set up a RAID for the practice, of course. HTH, Paul -- Paul Mackinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I thought "Xeon" was Intel's brand name for "server-grade Pentium", which still implies a 32-bit ISA and a 36-bit physical memory address. Maybe you mean that there's a 64-bit physical memory address?

I think the actual limitation here is the way the kernel partitions the application address space; some memory needs to be reserved for the program code, shared libraries, to interface to the kernel, and so on. This would bring about the 3 GB limit the OP is seeing. It might be possible to tweak the kernel (as in, modify the kernel source in somewhat non-trivial ways) to get closer to 4 GB, but that 4 GB really is a hard limit that you're not going to get around without a full 64-bit CPU. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.

Libranet-2.7-classic -> Pure Debian/sid kde broken
Ok, I ventured out in a new direction. My (nongeek) wife got tired of the whole windows/virus/worm thing and asked me to put Linux on her machine. I figured she would need a more "refined" user experience than I (who prefers the heavy eye-candy of Enlightenment), so I went with KDE. A friend of mine suggested I try Libranet, assuring me that I could go to straight Debian after install, and raving about how nice the installer was (which I agree with...Its a very nice installer). So I got Libranet installed, copied /etc/apt/sources.list from one of my sid boxes, apt-get updated and dist-upgraded to sid. So far so good. The problem I'm having is that now when I log into this box, kde isn't available. I did a dpkg -l grepping for kde, and had to install the packages (which were in varying states of uninstalled) manually. Currently I have the following packages installed but it still won't start kde (or or even offer it in the gdm2 menu.

I started with RH5.2, Gnome and a P75 w/ 16M of ram. I didn't notice any
"real" ('Reality is relative...') performance difference between win95
and RH5.2 so I stuck with it. (Well at least until I was shown the light
of Debian's Potato :)

I ran a P3-800 and now run an Athalon XP 1700+ and things have only
gotten better.

I have personally never gotten KDE to run "nice" at any point in my
computing history. Gnome 2.2 on the other hand runs very nicely on my
Celeron 266 Toshiba w/ 64Mb ram (now upgraded to 196M and man it runs
snappy-fast).

Here's a thought: Why does it seem that an orange takes more effort to
eat than a microwave dinner? The microwave dinner is so fast 'cause all
I do is throw it into the nuker, hit a preset and in no time my food's
ready, but that damnable orange just takes so much effort! And I know
it's not a problem with the orange peel 'cause I've tried different
types of oranges and it's still just as tiresome!
(Technically, the microwave dinner took more effort because someone had
to prefab the item first, then market it and sell it to the consumer.
The orange on the other hand didn't need manufacturing and instead only
needed harvesting etc.)
Now to complete the circle of dots...
Windows has it's GUI functions INSIDE the kernel itself, does not
partake in any extended functionality [that can rival XFree86]. Is very
much built for the primary purpose of looking good, and (possibly more
importantly), always looking (and feeling) as fast as possible. When you
want skin-deep responsiveness, _any_ version of windows is good enough.
Windows has baggage ("security" and "privacy" seem to me to be the top
issues amongst other things) that renders the benefits of speed useless
if not counter-productive ("...Look Ma! Outlook can send 6-Billion
emails per second with my new hardware and virii!...").
They have to look good, it's all they've got.
When you want a real solution; use the right tool for the right job. Use
GNU/Linux and all of it's feature-full baggage and do what I do; _Enjoy_
the [debatable] lag because it's FREE!

Sid CD fails as apt source
I'm trying to use a sid iso image as a apt source. I've successfully mounted it and added a file entry to sources.list as: deb file:/mnt/iso/debian sid main When I run apt-get update, apt reports it can't find Packages.gz: Failed to fetch file:/mnt/iso/debian/dists/sid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz File not found This isn't surprising though since Packages.gz on the iso is in the sid/main/binary-alpha directory instead of in sid/main/binary-i386 where apt expects it to be. I could copy the image to my harddisk and rename the directory to binary-i386 but I shouldn't have to do this, should I? I must be missing something simple here.

pwc webcam freeze: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout

Re: Libranet-2.7-classic -> Pure Debian/sid kde broken
Hi Bradley, I know that for Woody there is a meta package fore kde called "kde" which Description: The K Desktop Environment A metapackage containing dependencies for the core suite of KDE including kdelibs, kdebase, kdeadmin, kdegraphics, kdemultimedia, kdenetwork, kdepim, koffice, and kdeutils. Provides Suggests and Recommends for all other KDE based packages. Making sure that all of these are installed might be useful. Would it be possible to install "kde" from stable and the updating to unstable?... Just a thought, but please keep me posted, I'm thinking of trying Libranet and the synching to Debian unstable so your experience is of interest to me. Good luck...

proftp or wu-ftp?
I need to set up an ftp server. I've looked at wu-ftp and a little at proftp. I'm wondering what people find to be the better, and easiest to set up. Actually, I'm having trouble setting either up. But let me tell you what I want to do. Right now I need to set up an ftp site that authenticated users can only access in order to download files. Authentication in our network is provided by LDAP w/PAM. I see that proftp has an LDAP package, which I have installed right now. So, it seems at first the better. Ultimately, we may be setting up additional Virtual hosts. Basically, that's it. Curtis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Moving some parts of FS to unpopuplated partitions, mounting during booting, swap...
I have some unpopulated partitions. The system originally was woody, using a mixture of testing installer and woody CDs. Since then I moved my system to sid. Due to restrictions in the woody installer, not all 160 gb were recognized. I want to fix this, cfdisk and relatives from sid have no problems seeing the whole disk. So, at this point, all is in /dev/hdb1. What is the best way to move /home; /usr; to some of these partitions, and have then recognized at booting time? I want to create a swap partition, because I didn't create one, due to the fact that I was playing with the netinstaller for testing before using the woody installer, and it seems to me now that it didn't ask me then if I wanted one. And having 512 mb of RAM didn't make me too worried about it. However, the time has come for one. What is the best procedure to get it going? I know (??) that I have to make changes in /etc/fstab, some cp, etc, but would prefer to hear some opinions before going ahead, would not want to mess up a new machine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

To quote from the package description: "Linux/UNIX utility to save partitions in a compressed image file Partition Image is a Linux/UNIX partition imaging utility: it saves partitions in the Ext2FS (the linux standard), ReiserFS (a new journaled and powerful file system), NTFS (Windows NT File System) or FAT16/32 (DOS & Windows file systems) file system formats to an image file [...]. "This makes it possible to save a full Linux/Windows system with a single operation. In case of a problem (virus, crash, error, etc.), you just have to restore, and after several minutes, your entire system is restored (boot, files, etc.), and fully working." There's also mondo and mindi, which together can supposedly create a self-booting rescue + restore system.

Another benefit is that the locomotives are simpler, being essentially less than the electric part of a diesel-electric, and the electrical components also benefit from not having to share accommodation with a diesel engine, so reliability is greater, and maintenance less complicated (although the maintenance of the routes gets harder). > Downsides of electrification are notably the cost of electrifying the > RoW, and aquisition of stock. > > Also, back in my intern days at SMUD, I recall that the city's light > rail system operated in power blocks seperated (though not fully > independent of) the city grid, largely because of the acceleration and > deceleration power draws and surges. The London Underground used to maintain their own completely independent power stations until not all that long ago. Nowadays they take power from the national grid, using a large number of small substations supplying fairly short sections of line. The substations appear to have a fairly high impedance, and the voltage on the rails can vary over a range of nearly 2:1 as a result, while the effect on the main grid is reduced.

apt-get problem
I had a problem updating my two unstable machines this morning. I got the message "Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)". Looking through the archive of this illustrious list I found several suggestions that another copy of dselect (or presumably apt-get) must be running. This was not so, the first instance happened part way through the installation phase, after the download was complete. It also recurred after an init 1. I found that deleting /var/lib/dpkg/lock did not solve the problem and a new instance was created on each attempt. However deleting that file and /var/lib/dpkg/methlock allowed the installtion to complete successfully. HTH Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
