You might be better off doing this in a scripting language like Perl.  Your script 
would be a lot simpler and you wouldn't have to worry about such annoyances as 
quoting.  There are a zillion modules to easily parse filenames and such...

}

sub decode
{
my $file = shift;
system('flac', '-dc', $file);

Re: pon dsl-provider

[Robert Storey]

Dear Rafael,

For normal users to be able to start "pon dsl-provider", /usr/sbin/pppoe
has to be suid root. You can set that like this:

chmod +s /usr/sbin/pppoe

After you've done that, permission levels should look like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> ls -l /usr/sbin/pppoe
-rwsr-xr--1 root dip 31020 Sep 17 03:13 /usr/sbin/pppoe

Note that this would also be true of /usr/sbin/pppd if you were using a
dial-up modem (rather than adsl).

regards,
Robert

Re:Wine - Does it actually work?

[David Baron]

Wine is a very pesky utility.

OK, stuff like windows solitaire and freecell run perfectly. MVP-Bridge hangs 
up. So did a sound-card editing program but it did get my installed MIDI 
devices correctly which nothing "native" has done so far. Once these hangup, 
one must log out to get rid of their windows. Copernic web search which runs 
off the IE com object hung the system. Big red switch and a real scarey fsck 
session to recover--I mean heavy duty.

Just as Windows requires a "pid" file to describe how to run a DOS program, 
Wine needs such a descriptor to correctly run Windows programs in Linux. ... 
and this might well vary from flavor to flavor and release to release.

  For an ISA one I would try the ne module. The LDP's Ethernet-HOWTO is

I don't use either KDE or gnome; I keep trying other WMs but always come
back to icewm in the end. I do of course use suitable fonts for all
those apps that work via xterm but the problem is with the others.

However, I had a helpful suggestion from someone on alt.os.slackware,
viz to do startx -- -dpi 110 (or whatever). Should have thought of this
myself, I suppose...

I did these, but I must confess, I don't understand them well
enough to know if there is an IRQ conflict. I do notice in the ioports
report that the realtek driver is reported twice.

I also removed 2.4.20 and installed 2.4.18, because some fellow said
that did the trick for him, but no dice.

  You might try any Debian mirror, for example

I saw a problem a bit like this once on a potato machine running kde.
I can't remember the details, but there was a huge file of zeros
in a .kde directory or similar.

I found it by doing du -sh * from the top directory and following
down through the biggest ones until I found the file.  Finding the
file will give you some clue as to its origin.  Someone might
suggest a find command to find all the really large files in one go.

On my system they are logged into /var/log/kern.log*
I don't think they are likely to be the problem unless you either have
a tiny amount of free space or a _really_ busy site.  These log files
normally amount to just a few megabytes.

There are a couple of ways to stop the logging to the console.
The only one I know off hand is a bit dirty - that is:

# echo "1 4 1 6" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk

to adjust the kernel logging levels.  You could put it in a startup
script or just run it when you feel like it.  Have a look at that file
to see what it is now.

There are much nicer ways though!  It would be better for instance to
redirect all that stuff to one virtual console.

That is going into your /var/log/(syslog|messages|kern.log).
du --max-depth=0 on /var/log and on /tmp or du --max-depth=1 on / to
see where the data is hiding. Since it clears when you log out
(reboot?) its probably a temp file. If only logout then I would guess
something related to you window manager or session.

Dear Anthony,

I also saw that suggestion on alt.os.slackware, and it's great - I've
been using it. Hats off to the person who made the original suggestion.

You can also expand on it a little bit just to make things more slick.
For one thing, to avoid typing those parameters every time, you can make
it into an alias (put in .bashrc file):

alias startx='startx -- -dpi 110'

If you (or any user on your system) finds that typing "startx" is too
traumatic, you can get rid of gdm login (not a bad idea in itself) and
put the "startx -- -dpi 110" command in your/their .bash_profile.

regards,
Robert

Woody: TaskSel - XWindows; startx fails

[J N]

When installing woody, after getting to the tasksel screen, I noticed 
that choosing "XWindowServer" option by itself did not resolve enough 
dependencies to be able to run the server.  I also tried apt-get install 
kdm, suspecting that I just needed to choose a window manager, however, 
kdm wouldn't resolve either.

My (rather blunt) solution to the problem was to choose the "desktop" 
option in tasksel as well -- that appears to resolve whatever 
dependencies need resolving.  I know just (not) enough about 
XWindowServer theory to suspect that this may be by design -- that I 
need to make some sort of 'choice' about my environment that is made by 
selecting the "desktop" option.

Does anyone know why this is, or if it is just specific to laptops, or 
if it is just that something failed that should have worked?

I'm interested in theory.  I don't have the specific error messages on 
hand (to get them, I would need to do a fair amount of work) -- but I'm 
learning how to compile kernels, and the process has resulting in 
needing to reinstall debian woody about 6 times so far... (yes, I'm 
doing things terribly wrong and I'm aware of it)... I figure 
reinstallation will go faster if I don't install all of XWindowsServer 
and the desktop each time...

Thanks!

-Jason.

Hi George,
I would recommend that you contact IBM and tell them that you would like

of linux compatible laptops. Also, you can check google,

Evolution was in sarge a couple months ago, but it was uninstallable due
to broken or conflicting dependencies, which is why, I assume, that it was
removed.

The kernel source comes with a document called
linux/Documentation/serial-console.txt . You need to follow the
directions in that document.

If you don't have an unpacked kernel source handy, look at for example

If one is setting up a server, one may only want to run an X server
(XFree86, for example) on that machine, and not an X client.  Other
machines on the network would be running X clients and connecting with the
server's X server.  One doesn't need stuff like window managers running on
the server.

As you evidently wish to run both server and client, then you need the
desktop setup.  A window manager is part of the client, not the server.

BTW, startx starts a client X session.

Try man startx, man Xserver, man XFree86, etc.

This is necessarily very brief and incomplete, but I hope it gives you the
picture.

Well I have no such descriptors for running Lotus Notes (the only Windows

under Wine successfully on an otherwise Linux only laptop since september
2001.  There are a few (very few) oddities, but nothing serious.

Finding I/O For ISA NIC Card?

[Russ Schneider]

I have a KNE20 card in my machine.  I'm pretty sure I need (thanks to the 
help I've found here) the ne module to use it.

However, it requires I enter it's I/O with io=0xNNN.

Problem is, I can't determine what the I/O is?  lspci -vvv doesn't give it 
to me, nor does /proc/pci.

How do I determine the I/O?

No, never encountered this problem; neither on Thunderbird 0.3 (Testing)
nor Sid (Thunderbird 0.4)

Woody comes with 1.0.5, once again AFAIK. So go mixed systems, then !?

Or try Thunderbird, nevertheless. Contrary to Evo, which depends on half
of the worldwide accessible libraries, Thunderbird is much more lean. Try
both and decide for yourself !

Well, that's what PPP in general is for.  Some DSL providers have

Either the i/o and IRQ settings are "jumpered" on the card or
you need the vendors' DOS app to view / configure the settings.

Surely not. But this is a common occurrence in many distros and
situations. Not only on Linux, but also *BSDs. There are minimum 2
philosophies to it. Before I adhered to the strict one: remove the
dependencies, if required forcibly. Now I tend to look at the sizes of
harddisks and ask: why does it bother if you have a few 10s of MB lying
around dead. Does it really bother as long as you never start X ? These

Kent - great job! You hit it exactly.

Router: a device that connects your home network to other networks. It knows
the way (the route) to networks outside your own. You would use a router
when you have more than one home network, or when you connect to the outside
world.

Hub: you got that one, too! It's a device that connects PCs on the same
local network. Bandwidth is shared, and every PC "sees" every packet on the
network. It's suitable for smaller networks.

(note for sneaky-type guys: if you have a hub and run Etherpeak, you can see
every packet on the network destined for every PC. Reading and understanding
those packets is an entirely different thing.)

Switch: also connects devices on the same local area network, but can also
support virtual LANS with the help of a router. Each PC only sees the
packets destined for itself.

WAP: this is a wireless access point. It has 2 connections. One is typically
a wired ethernet connection, the other is wireless. You use it to allow
wireless devices to connect to your LAN. Wireless devices can be wireless
PCs or wireless bridges. You can also get wireless game cards for your PS2!

To confuse the matter, some routers have built in switches or hubs. Some
routers have built in WAPS. Linksys has a book out 'splaining the various
products in THEIR product set. If you don't mind being vendor-specific, that
might be a good start.

I made a mistake.  I am running 'Debian testing'

$ apt-cache show thunderbird
W: Unable to locate package thunderbird

$ apt-cache search thunderbird
mozilla-thunderbird - Mozilla Thunderbird standalone mail client
mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail - Enigmail - GPG support for Mozilla Thunderbird

What is the version of Mozilla Thunderbird available on Debian site for

If you are dual booting with a Microsoft OS, boot up Windows and take a
look at the card in device manager.  You should be able to see the
resources it's using including the I/O addresses.

I know that's kind of cheating, but, hey, whatever it takes :)

I would if I could, but this is an old "Frankenstein" machine and it 
currently only has Debian on it.

I'm trying to see if I can use an MS-DOS bootdisk.  Anyone know how to use 
a .img file to get the image to a floppy in linux?

It's probably just not installable at the moment. Look at gnome's

I haven't had a chance to look in detail, but the tool you want to strip

syntax under "Parameter Expansion" in bash(1).

You probably have the modelines option set to 0, which appears to be the
default in /etc/vim/vimrc in some recent Debian vim packages. You can
override that in ~/.vimrc if you want.

I'm not sure I agree with the default; if hazardous modelines are
possible then that in itself is a bug which needs to be fixed by more
than just changing the default, but you may want to read about it for
yourself.

It is available for Unstable; 0.4. Read the doc for mixed versions, add
the unstable sources to sources.list, update your sources and apt-cache
show evolution will bring 1.4.5. or so.

But: start by reading the doc about the settings for mixed. See debian
documentation therefore. It needs a few steps to work well; you have to
indicate your base version, which program should follow unstable, etc. Too
much for in here.

Good luck,

Uwe

I just use procmail to remove duplicate messages when I am cc'ed.

I have not backported spamassassin to stable from testing.
Is their a backport of spamassassin for stable?


I generally use the testing mimedefang/spamassassin becuase it uses the
newer perl version 5.8.
You can pin it so you only need to upgrade perl, and 17 perl modules to
use the newer perl on a woody system.

Or seriously consider avoiding it altogether and backporting instead; it
seems to cause much confusion.

Of course Evolution depends on every library known to man (CVS versions 
required on 1/4 of them); it's a Gnome app isn't it.   (I am a KDE zealot,
can't you tell )

I say that as a happy Kmail user, I use POPFile for my spam sorting needs
and I have KMail set to filter on the spam headers and to place email 
in the approriate folder for my mailing lists. 

POPFile is a good baynesian filtering proxy that works anywhere perl
does . My particular install is running 99.68% accurate.

Bah. KDE isn't really all that much better; they just put all the
libraries into one massive lump instead of splitting them out. There
isn't much to choose between them on that front, really.

eth0 doesn't have an address, just as I thought. And hasn't passed a
single packet so far.

Let's try giving it an address:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.200

for a starter. Probably you know which one you need ? Instead of that
192.168.1.200 ??

But even if not, you can then always 

ping 192.168.1.200

, should give you some result like

64 bytes from 192.168.1.200: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=2.2 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.200: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.7 ms,

and show some bytes under eth0 (ifconfig, see above); not 0 0 0 0 0

Then you'd know that everything is fine (except its address, eventually)


HTH,


Uwe

can not ping other hosts with VT6105 Rhine-III on 2.4

[Bill Kalebaugh]

I have two computers running through a hub.  Computer Bills will ping 
the other computer OK with
2.2.20 woody running but if I try to upgrade to 2.4.xx I can not ping 
anything but its self.
I have tried 2.4.18, 2.4.20, 2.4.21 & 2.4.23.
Suse 8.2 works and pings hosts with 2.4.xx on this same computer.

I upgrade the other computer Bill2 from 2.2.20 to 2.4.xx and it works 
just fine.

I have tried ever thing I can think of with no luck.

Any body have any Ideas???

Any d-u equivalent for Mac OS X?

[Mariano Kamp]

Hi,

  I recently bought an Apple pb and now I realize with horror that d-u
is not the right place for my questions anymore ;-) At least not for the
pb related ones. 

  Anyway, any good suggestion for a good list on OS X related stuff?

Cheers,
Mariano

I am also running testing.  The version in testing is 0.3.  I
personally would strongly suggest that you keep your distribution unmixed
and use 0.3, upgrading when 0.4 makes it to testing.  As Colin Watson
pointed out, mixing distributions can be confusing, and it adds a
level of complication to system admin.  IMHO, it's just not worth mixing
stuff up just for a minor release.

You could have used apt-cache to discover the version:

If you're planning on installing Debian on your Apple PowerBook,
debian-powerpc is a great mailing list. Apple is well regarded in making
good Linux notebooks ... just as Debian is well regarded in making good
PowerPC operating systems.

But as for MacOS X, I don't know. macosxhints is a great website for
lots of miscellaneous information. And if you use Fink or DarwinPorts, I
believe there are plenty of mailing lists specific to that.

Questions to trace this problem:

  - How have you partitioned your system?  What filesystems do you have,
and how large are they?  Output of:

   $ df 
   $ df -h
   # fdisk -l /dev/hd[a-z]

...is useful here (note that '#' indicates commands to run as root,
'$' as root or nonprivileged user).

For general partitioning guidelines, including what partitions to
create, and recommended sizes, see:

http://twiki.iwethey.org/Main/NixPartitioning


  - What files do you have in your root filesystem?

  # ls -A /

  - What is disk utilization of these files?

  # du -s $( ls -A / )

...note that this will also show the disk utilization of any mounted
filesystems on /, which are _not_ contributing to your root FS
useage.

  - Are you running user apps as root?  Particularly X?


Peace.

Give us some more information.

What driver are you using? What video card? And what monitor are you
using at what resolution? Perhaps uploading some portions of
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 will help, too.

The Linux kernel has excellent support for USB mass storage devices.
IIRC, all of these standard USB 'pendrives' should work.

I, myself, recently got a Lexar Media JumpDrive from someone for the
holidays. I haven't actually tested it out yet on Debian, but it should
just be able to mount as a USB mass stoarge device and be written to
like any normal block device (i.e., like a hard disk.)

Make sure you add the USB mass stoarage device support and any other USB
support to your kernel.

build/ should just be a symlink to the kernel source, but maybe Debian
kernels leave it out.

I've compiled my own kernel, and build/ is just a symlink to the kernel
source root.

Run this command (one line):

ln -s /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.22-bf2.4/
 /lib/modules/2.4.22-bf2.4/build

(N.B., make sure kernel-headers-2.4.22-bf2.4 is installed)

Undo this.

set KERNEL_SOURCE to /lib/modules/2.4.22-bf2.4/build

That *should* set you up to compile. :)

Time to list some more variables:
xfree 4.2.1-12.1
gv -v gives gv 3.5.8 (debian)
printing is lpr2000.05.07-5
ps printer
testing/unstable mixed distribution (mostly testing, though mozilla
itself is from unstable)
Athlon, with custom 2.4.21 kernel
See below for more on xprt setup
Running under KDE 2.2
At one point I had xprt (not xprt-xprintorg) installed.  It's now
purged.

Fonts are generally somewhat messed up on this system, for reasons
I've been unable to fathom.

ggv (gnome ghostview, still running under KDE) 2.4.0.1-1 shows 4 blank
pages for the file. 

I think I tried this on a CUPS system with the same results, but I'll
double check.

No, I didn't upgrade xprt-common.  I have since done so; the problem
persists.  While installing the new setup files, I noticed two
non-standard features of my C/document file:
*default-medium: na-letter
*default-printer-resolution: 600

In particular, this is twice the usual resolution.  However, I am
getting much more than a 2x (or 4x in area) enlargement).

Once I did this the pdf printer option came up in mozilla.  I have 4
options; here are the results:
1) lp@:64  that's what I've been using.  gv barfs, other programs show
enlarged upper left corner only.
2) xp_ps_spooldir_tmp_Xprintjobs@:64 same as above
3) xp_pdf_spooldir_tmp_Xprintjobs@:64 unreadable by acroread, xpdf, gv
(another bug?)

  acroread says  Warning: charset of fontList
  (XDCCC_GRAY_CORRECTION-ISO8859) does not match locale (ISO8859-1)

xpdf says
Error: May not be a PDF file (continuing anyway)
Error (0): PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
Error: Couldn't read xref table
Warning: XtRemoveGrab asked to remove a widget not on the list

Warning: XtRemoveGrab asked to remove a widget not on the list
Warning: XtRemoveGrab asked to remove a widget not on the list
Warning: XtRemoveGrab asked to remove a widget not on the list
Warning: XtRemoveGrab asked to remove a widget not on the list

gv gives the usual Error: PostScript interpreter failed in main
window.

4) PostScript/default (which I think someone said  doesn't use xprt) works

P.S. For the BTS, if you haven't been following this thread: the
problem is not specific to gv.  display (form ImageMagick) and
whatever hylafax uses (ps2fax?) both show the enormously enlarged
upper-left hand portion of the image only.  gs also shows it
enlarged.

Samba share problem

[Stefan Drees]

Hello,
hope someone can help me. I´m using debian 3.0 with latest service packs.
Since i switched my workstation to w2k, my network drives get regulary
disconnected. I can´t find out why. I´m using samba as PDC.
I´m using Shorewall 1.4.2 with so needed rules to access samba shares on it.
The firewall has 3 interfaces, eth0 for pppoe, eth1 for lan and ippp1 for
isdn.
eth0 = 192.168.0.254
eth1 = 192.168.100.254
ippp1 = 10.0.0.1

I tried to also "interfaces = eth1 or 192.168.100.0/24" (local lan), to only
allow
my local network and "bind interfaces = yes" without success.

I found these entries in /var/log/samba/nmbd.log.

Re: Why doesn't pon execute in xterm window

Sorry about the thread but this is the first time I'm sending mail from my 
Debian box, and clicking the reply to at the bottom of the message in the 
Konqueror display didn't bring anything with it.

I have followed the earlier suggestions; adding the dialout group really 
helped, but ...

As shown in the log excerpts below the non-root user can execute pon 
successfully only when plog is running in another window.  I have no idea!

I'm not sure I understand your question, but if I do, you want to run
tune2fs -j on your big linux partition.  Swap is a totally different
"filesystem" whose format you do not want to change.

The one kicker is that you can't have the partition mounted while you're
converting it.  The easiest solution is probably to boot into knoppix,
run the command from there, and then boot back into your normal
configuration.

Also, to actually use ext3, your kernel needs to be able to handle ext3,
and your fstab needs to explicitly be set to use it.

Ooh, here *I* have a question.  Just noticed that I have my ext3 root
partition mounting as 'auto' in my fstab.  My other ext3 partitions are
mounting as 'ext3,ext2' (in case the kernel isn't ext3-aware, I can
still mount them as ext2).  What is 'auto's behavior in this situation?
Will it choose ext3 or ext2?

There is a hidden file called kde3-errors; which at this moment is

Add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

I'm replying to myself in case I run into this again, my answer is right
here.  The error isn't really debconf, but rather a front end for
debconf.  I'm not sure why that was installed since I don't need them
anyway, so I simply removed python2.3-configlet.

Running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 still didn't create a
XF86Config-4 file though.  So I tried dexconf xserver-xfree86, and a
XF86Config-4 file was finally created.  Now I can't wait to get back
home and try restarting X to see if I'm getting any closer to getting
hardware acceleration working.

exim4 and queue_list_requires_admin option

[Vincent Lefevre]

I've just upgraded to exim4 and I'm trying to make it work correctly.
The man page mentions the queue_list_requires_admin option, but this
option isn't in any file from the /etc/exim4/conf.d directory (even
commented out). Is there any reason or is it a bug? What should I do?

IMHO, all the options should be in one of the configuration files.
That way, the user knows what file he should modify exactly.

TIA for any information,

RE: web page -> ps problems

[Ross Boylan]

Even the old version of xprt-xprintorg seems to work fine on this CUPS
based system, which is also a little more "unstable" and less "testing"
than the other one.

There's also an outside chance the difference stems from using different
web pages, but that hasn't seemed to matter so far.

xprt-xprintorg   0.0.8.cvs20030508-6
xfree86-common 4.2.1-12.1
mozilla-browser  1.4-2  (hmm... maybe 1.5 at home, but see below)
cupsys   1.1.20candidate6-6
cupsys-driver-gimppr 4.2.5-6  (not sure if this is used)
gv   3.5.8-30.2
Athlon chip, 2.4.22 custom kernel

document config file at default:
*default-medium: iso-a4
*default-printer-resolution: 300
Changing to na-letter/600 and restarting xprint made no difference.

Changing to mozilla 1.5-3 still works.
Upgrading xprt-xprintorg and common to 0.0.9.cvs20031220-1 still works.

pdf doesn't work on this machine either (using xpdf).

With "auto", mount will probe the superblock to get the filesystem type.
cf. "man mount"

It might be an ISA-PNP board. Try looking at /proc/isapnp if you have
isapnp support compiled into your kernel. Otherwise install isapnptools as 
recommended upthread.

Getting the penguin on linux 2.6

[csj]

After three days of browsing various leads posted here[1], I
managed to get my spare computer running on linux 2.6 and
nVidia's binary-only video drivers (installed with the help of
the non-free "nvidia-graphics-drivers" packages).

Everything seems to be functional, including chromium, tuxracer
and armagetron.  My only remaining problem is getting the
framebuffer console to work.  I can get the console to work if I
don't enable framebuffer at boot time, i.e. if I boot without the
penguin mascot;-).

Any pointers?  FWIW I built my 2.6 kernel using a
framebuffer-capable /boot/config-2.4* saved (with no user-addled
changes) thru "make gconfig".

How does the superblock/mount -t auto work? (was: Synching volumes on logout -- tune2fs)

I'm not sure how to take a peek at the superblock myself, but the
relevant output of tune2fs -l is:

Filesystem magic number:  0xEF53
Filesystem features:  has_journal filetype needs_recovery
sparse_super

Now, here's what I wonder about.  As I understand it, ext3 is really
just ext2 with some added features.  So then, is the magic number for
both the same, and is the fact that I have has_journal under "filesystem
features" the same as saying that it's actually *using* the journal?

Or in other words, is the superblock actually going to look any
different between ext2 and ext3?  My naive guess is that the superblock
would be the same, and therefore that 'auto' would mount an ext3
partition as ext2, but I just don't know.

I've been trying to come up with a good google search that would
demistify this stuff for me, but so far most searches just come up with
superblock/magic number *errors*, not explanations.

`man mount` does say this:

The auto type may be useful for user-mounted floppies.  Creating
a file /etc/filesystems can be useful to change the probe  order
(e.g.,  to  try vfat before msdos) or if you use a kernel module
autoloader.  Warning: the probing uses a heuristic (the presence
of  appropriate `magic'), and could recognize the wrong filesys-
tem type, possibly with catastrophic consequences. If your  data
is valuable, don't ask mount to guess.

So it appears that, if I knew for sure that a filesystem could be seen
as more than one type, I could give mount hints.  More importantly, I
should really explicitly set it to 'ext3,ext2' for the root partition
(and will, when I get home).  But I'd really like to understand how all
of this filesystem stuff works.

Hi all,
It appears that with some of my mailing list subscriptions, when I click 
'reply', they reply to the originator, not the list. Why is this?

Is it in correct headers from this list? Or most likely my settings?

Gavin.
