autoloading of modules in 2.6.x kernels

[Pim Bliek]

I did the Google, I searched for docs but somehow I just cannot make it work 
to autoload modules at boottime with this 2.6.4 kernel I installed...

I now have something like:
install agpgart /bin/true 
in my /etc/modprobe.conf but this does not load anything. I have to uncomment 
the line before I can manually insert the module with modprobe.

I am missing some major point here, and I cannot find it... Gets 
frustrating :). I just want to load some modules... What was wrong with the 
previous modell? Why was this changed? /etc/modules with just a list of 
modules to load was working fine for mein 2.4.x world...

Can anyone shine some light on this?

Pim

Re: serial mouse under debian/sarge, 2.6.4

[Joris Huizer]

Thank you for your replies

I'll first try to get an USB hub, and if that is a problem, I'll try the 
solutions posted on the serial mouse!

Are there things I coould/should check for a USB hub? Do I need special 
modules and/or drivers?

Thanks for all the answers I got so far,

Joris

I did it quite simply, by clicking on Escape with the right mouse
button, selecting duplicate, and then clicking on Caps Lock. I did a
similar thing with the Alt keys. But you could also do it manually; in
my xmodmap I have:

keycode 0x42 =  Escape

keycode 0x71 =  Alt_L

You can get the actual keycode values for your keyboard from xkeycaps.

The only thing I've found with xkeycaps is that choosing  to save just
the altered keys doesn't produce a valid xmodmap; you have to save all
the keys.

I (or Thomas) actually toned down this quite a bit.

   apt-get is a basic command-line front end to APT. aptitude and synaptic
   are, respectively, text mode and GUI front ends which provide more
   advanced features. aptitude, for example, remembers which packages you
   deliberately installed and which packages were pulled in through
   dependencies; the latter packages are automatically de-installed by
   aptitude when they are no longer needed by any deliberately installed
   packages.

Very good point.  I expanded aptitude section and pointed out this very
important fact.  

Once you start using aptitude, it is depreciated to use
apt-get for installing packages since you lose the
benefits of aptitude tracking automatic dependencies.

Thanks.

Re: Restart kdm after logout

[Pim Bliek | PingWings.nl]

Actually, you don't need to edit a script. If you just installed KDM
through the regular apt-get system you should have a script in
/etc/init.d/kdm.

Have a look at it, and also at /etc/X11/default-display-manager 

So probably the only thing you need to do is run:

/etc/init.d/kdm start

Which will also be done automatically when you reboot.

Good luck!

That is SGML tag for command name. (I copied from source.)

By the way, -R and -G in manual does not seem to work together and in
some conditions.  H...

I will hold off further rewrite of this section until I get to used to
aptitude.  (I have been using primarily dselect)

The easiest way is to install etherconf:

Sorry.
I meant to include something else.
That probably came across as arrogant.
It's what's called an attribute in the SGML medium.
There are two types (that are included in the text body),
'status' and 'identifier.'
This would probably be a status type,
and a shortened form of something very much like 'PRoGramme Name.'

I had basically the same problems. Everything seemed to be ok, but
fiddling with the order the kernel modules were loaded fixed things. 

>From /etc/modules :

This is the order in which the modules should be loaded. If I load the
radeon module before any of the others, DRI won't work.

Hope to have been of any help,

Thanx for the info!

However, this does not help. I already had the modules properly loaded
(my X will not start without them...) but this does not make DRI to
work...

Hi Jaap,

since noone answered until now, I just wanted to tell you that I have the

It seems to be some kind of interrupt problem for me, because after the

they have in these science fiction movies before the escape doors are

I read the kernel list a bit, but since I mostly *work* with that machine,

Well, assuming that you have everything configured at your ISP end, and 
you have configured things like 'static' and 'dynamic' options correctly,
the simple way (because you haven't stated if you have X installed, or 
anything else for that matter) would be to open a terminal, and type the 
word 'pon,' (without the quotes).
When you want to disconnect, type 'poff.'

Re: Symbolic links in /etc/alternatives not working as inten

I followed your instructions... here is what I get when I did a

david:/etc/alternatives# update-alternatives --display vi
vi - status is auto.
 link currently points to /usr/bin/gvim
/usr/bin/nvi - priority 30

Current `best' version is /usr/bin/gvim.

It looks correct, however, when I do a vi , vim is
still launched instead of gvim.

Any advice?

Thanks :)

Hmm...  I personally think a symlink or wrapper in /usr/local/bin
would be easiest and most appropriate.  It is a local configuration
for you but not really part of the system.  YMMV.

Right, gvim is a symlink created by the 'vim' package which points to
/usr/bin/vim.  The 'vim-gtk' package diverts /usr/bin/vim to vim.org
so with vim-gtk installed (which I think is typical for gvim users)
gvim gets you the graphical vim with gtk widgets.

The easiest thing is to look at the vim postinst script and see what
it does to set this up.

  pager /var/lib/dpkg/info/vim.postinst

There is a for loop that translates to this example:

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/vi vi /usr/bin/vim 120 \
  --slave /usr/share/man/man1/vi.1.gz vi.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/vim.1..gz

Which means I think you want to say this to create your own
alternative pointing to gvim.  (Untested!)

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/vi vi /usr/bin/gvim 150 \
  --slave /usr/share/man/man1/vi.1.gz vi.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/gvim.1.gz

Does gvim behave like vi on a text terminal?  Hope so because that
what I would expect of an alternative for vi.  Personally I would
simply call it vim or gvim instead of getting used to calling it vi
since it is so much different from vi it really is hardly an
alternative for it.

logcheck config

[Pim Bliek | PingWings.nl]

Hi All,

I get these in the mail via logcheck every hour:

Apr 12 10:55:01 fourtytwo CRON[7688]: (pam_unix) session opened for user
list by (uid=0)
Apr 12 10:55:01 fourtytwo CRON[7688]: (pam_unix) session closed for user
list

Repeat the above a zillion times :)

I looked through the config in /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/...,
but to be honest I am no regex guru... Can someone help on how to build
simple regexes for my purpose? I just want to leave out all these
non-interesting messages...

Pim

Donno wich logformats are used by exim and uw-ftpd, they're not listed
literally in the faq as supported formats.[1]
So I think you've to use the source and add support first or you'll find
unoffical patches or something similar.

There's a bug tracking this as well 241080.

It'll be fixed in the next upload.  (well if I ever get gdm to work
given #237615).

Upstream have been promising 4.0.5 since 21st March but it hasn't
happened yet and I was waiting for that before fixing the other bits up.

It'll run all the bits in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ first too so for instance
it'll run ssh-agent if you have use-ssh-agent in /etc/X11/Xsession.options

Basically it means it should fit in better with what everything else
does (startx, other session managers).

I´ve also found that is better to save all the keys, note to your self
what key is what, then in the saved file make the modifications by
hand. But it seems that with the new X (4.3) there is no much need to
modify anything.

Just make sure to get the update modutils (and e2fsprogs, I think) by

I think it also gets you access to the 2.6 kernel images available from

Kernel recompilation

[Jansen Carlo Sena]

Hi all, 

I must compile my kernel to support ACPI and other features. But, when I
untar the kernel-source Debian package and run "make menuconfig" many
features enabled in my working are disabled. Thus, I must re-enable all
these features again. 

Is there any way to me get the ".config" default file including the
standard options to my kernel? This way, I can mark just the new
features.

Can anyone help me?

I'm using sarge with the 2.4.25 kernel.

Jansen.

Re: Kernel recompilation

Hi,

The kernel config file used to compile the debian kernel is installed by
the kernel-image package in /boot/config-kernver

Copy /boot/config-kernver into your kernel source tree as .config to get
the options of the debian kernel.

Before you buy hardware, it's a good idea to make sure that it is going 
to be compatible with your system.
Always a good idea to investigate before investing.
Using Google is usually a good idea.
Death, or ill health, have rarely if ever been attributed to overuse of 
Google.
Do Linux drivers exist for this new item of yours?
There is advice onsite at Debian.org regarding hardware compatibility, 
and at a number of other places. The Linux Documentation Project for 
example.
It is always a good idea to check out the manufacturers' website also.

 
no i have use command line debian not graphicall. How i can access 
switch consol? because i want some configuration over swtich.
The previous questions must be answered before this can become a reality.
If a driver/loadable module doesn't exist for this new piece of 
equipment, the only communication over the switch that be occurring, 
will be by way of a note attached to a frisbee. A lot of routing 
hardware doesn't need to be specifically matched to software, but I have 
an idea that some does.

Is is it possible that i can access consol same loke Microsoft windows 
like (hyper terminal services) but remember i just want Command line 
interface not graphical.
Yes, there are applications that give remote manipulation, and other 
applications called 'talk', or 'gnome-talk' that will provide 
intra-terminal communication. It depends on what you want to do.
Debian has over 13,000 applications, and with that you can accomplish a 
lot of different things.
Others on the list will probably be able to assist you in a more 
productive fashion than I can.
I am not all that familiar with the kind of hardware you are talking 
about, but with Linux hardware, always check first, or it can cost you

David.

Try adding to you sources.list

deb http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-trunk-sid/ ./

And fetch
xlibmesa-gl1-dri-trunk
drm-trunk-module-src
xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk

I just saw that there is a driconf package there but I don't know
it. You will probably have to compile the drm kernel module though if
you are using 2.4 kernel (the source is in drm-trunk-module-src).

This simply means that DRI isn't loaded. Please check

$ grep EE /var/log/XFree86

for errors. My suggestion is, that agp doesn't work properly.
You have to load both, the agp-modul ant the agp-chipset-module to
get agp work. As well check wether radeon is loaded:

$ lsmod | grep radeon

I don't use precompiled kernels, I use the Debian kernel-source packages to

4 AMD all runing Debian, 2 of them for over two years now. No problems.
They ran RH6.1 in the past.  Have 3 others in San Diego that run 24/7

Its a bit more complex. And depends on the version of windws and FAT
you are using.

Look at the following in 'man smb.conf':
case sensitive
default case
preserve case
short preserve case

Also under Project Settings you should be able to change the directory
name to all lowercase. I'm unsure if this would work.

'.cvsignore' might also be useful. IMHO you shouldn't be CVSing your
Release(or Debug) directory anyway.

The current official nvidia drivers do work with kernel 2.6.x.  The 
versions in Debian testing and unstable also work just fine with kernel 
2.6.

For step-by-step instructions on installing the nvidia driver, see

There's an option in /etc/default/rcS to keep files for X many

The IDE controller comes first.  The kernel uses the disk controller
drivers it has available to try to detect and begin communicating with
the disk controller.  This has to happen before the kernel can get
anything (ie the partition table) from the disk.  Next the kernel
reads the partition table and tries to interpret it.  If the partition
table support is missing, then at that point the kernel will panic.
After reading the partition table, the kernel proceeds with reading
the filesystem.  (if support for the filesystem on that partition is
missing the kernel panics at this point)

Maybe you already did this in an earlier message and I just forgot,
but could you send the subject line of one of the email reports that
you're trying to stop along with a sample of the relevant content?
It's sounding to me like the people on the list think you're trying
to stop mail from one source, but it's actually coming from somewhere
else, perhaps logcheck, perhaps not; I haven't seen enough

Sounds reasonable. I hope that there is a 'nice' way to do this (under
devfs there was, and also needs to be considering the amount of
third party devices).


I also found the solution to my second problem. It was a lot simpler than
it looked like. I had to load the modules for ide-disk and ide-cd and the
device nodes/trees are created automatigcally. Devfs and the old dev made
me lazy, since the kernel always loaded necessary modules on it's own
(and according the FAQ this is not going to be implemented in udev).

This raised another problem however. After loading the ide-disk module,
udev is not fast enough with creating the device nodes, causing the boot
process to go into single user mode when it tries to mount an IDE harddisk
right after inserting the module.

Of course there are simple solutions to this, but I don't think it's
appropiate. Should I report this as a bug?

Thanks,
Sebastiaan

I guess you want to know which packages need to be installed, since udev
completely replaces /dev, leaving you only with a few nodes.

I installed udev en sysfsutils and made sure my kernel was compiled with
the option CONFIG_TMPFS=y was set (could be other options necessary).

Then udev worked almost instantly, leaving me with a few issues, which I
hoped will all be solved in this thread:

Kernel 2.4 and iocharset/codepage conversion crash

[Virgo Pärna]

 I'm using Woody with 2.4.18-1-686 kernel. When I mount smb share
from another computer with icocharset and codepage parameters and then
run zip on this share, it will crash with Segmentation fault (specific
mount command was like this: smbmount //computer/share mnt -o
username=username,password=password,codepage=cp775,iocharset=iso8859-15). 
There are some files in this share that use estonian accented
characters - õöäü in their names. It does not happen, when iocharset 
and codepage are not set. Google search seemed to indicate, that it's
possible for same to happen when mounting floppy, with iocharset and
codepage options set.

i can tell that _something's_ not recognizing my kernel version, but

Ok, 

I moved the /boot/config-2.4.25-1-386 file to
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.25/.config and ran "make oldconfig". After, I
just disabled APM and Local APIC support and enabled ACPI with battery,
AC Adapter, Button, Fan, Processor, Thermal Zone support (kernel
module).

When I rebooted my system using this new kernel I get the follow
message:

*
VFS: Cannot open root device "hda7" or 03:07
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:07
*

All of my partitions were ext3 formatted. I looked the kernel configuration again and 
the ext3 was supported like a kernel module.
Are there other reasons to this problem?

What's wrong?

udev starts by copying the existing /dev into the ramdisk it mounts
over /dev.  This is why you see nodes for devices you don't have.

Solution :
Boot the installer CD or Knoppix or something.
# cd / 
# mv dev _static_dev
# mkdir dev
# cd dev
# mknod c 5 1 console
# chmod 600 console
  (if desired, also create null and zero with proper perms and ownership)

The simple solution is to load ide-disk sooner.  To do so :
1)  list it in /etc/modules
2)  run 'dpkg-reconfigure kernel-image-2.6'

Then ide-disk will be put in the initrd image and loaded before the
root fs is mounted.  Then udev will have plenty of time to create the
/dev nodes before any userspace application tries to access them.  (I
know it works because my on-disk /dev only contains console null and
zero and all of my disks are IDE and I have no problems with
unattended boots)

Debian packages will never install stuff in /usr/local/bin.  If any
documentation mentions /usr/local, then it's presumed that you have
compiled by hand.  Otherwise, the binaries will always be in /usr/bin.

I looked through the documentation mentioned, and it makes some mistakes
(mostly stuff that has been deprecated in never udev).

For instance, memorystick isn't necessary a scsi device. At my place,
it's a USB device:

  Device = "3-1"
  Device path = "/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1d.2/usb3/3-1"
bConfigurationValue = "1"
bDeviceClass= "00"
bDeviceProtocol = "00"
bDeviceSubClass = "00"
bMaxPower   = "200mA"
bNumConfigurations  = "1"
bNumInterfaces  = " 1"
bcdDevice   = "0140"
bmAttributes= "c0"
detach_state= "0"
idProduct   = "0069"
idVendor= "054c"
manufacturer= "Sony"
product = "USB Memory Stick Slot"
speed   = "12"

The udev rule I would create for this would be
BUS="usb", SYSFS{manufacturer}="Sony", SYSFS{product}="USB Memory Stick\ 
Slot", NAME{all_partitions}="Memstick"

Note that the format has changed a little (the old format is deprecated,
and was totally removed starting with version 023).

Also, note the {all_partitions} attribute in NAME. There was a problem
with the node (ie memstick1) not beging created unless it is accessed,
but it can't be accessed without being created.  So, the all_partitions
attribute was created to statically create the nodes.

Re: Kernel recompilation

[strawks]

You probably don't have specified an initrd for your kernel in your
bootloader.
This way, the kernel cannot mount the root fs because the ext3 module is
not loaded.
You can create an initrd image using mkinitrd (I don't really know how
to make one, see manpage), or simply add support for ext3 and ide disks
directly in the kernel, not as a module.

Stock Debian kernels use an initrd image. Did you configure it for your
new kernel?
Alternatively, you can include support for ext3 and whatever you need
directly into the kernel, not as module,

tmp's probably being cleaned by...

/etc/rcS.d/SXXbootmisc.sh

If your moving into runlevel 2 after the initial boot, it seems
strange that you carn't create a file in tmp. I put a stamp file for
"hdparm" there, so that i don't end up re-running it on level changes
during the same session...

Make sure the "local" script is at the end of the list of runlevel
scripts to run. I'd even consider just looking for one thats quite
simple/brief, and using that as a template to startup your mysql
stuff.

Check that "world/others" have write permission to tmp as well, that
could muck things up a bit, as we don't loggin as "root", do we.. :)

Playing backups of DVDs with mplayer and xine

[Bill Moseley]

I'm missing something obvious. How to do I play a dvd backed up to disk
with mplayer and xine?

I've got a dvd that won't play in my DVD player, and on my laptop with
mplayer it fails to read the VTS_01_4.VOB file, so I suspect there's a
problem with the DVD media or the drive.  I can't use dvdcopy or just
plain cp to access that file on the dvd media/drive combination.

But, I was able to use another machine to access the dvd.  I used
dvdback (there's also vobcopy on debian) to create a backup.

My question is how do I play the movie directly on disk?

I know I can do this to play the dvd:

   $ mplayer dvd://
   $ xine dvd://

And I know I can play the VOBs directly

   $ xine file:///path/to/VOB

but how do I play the back up copy on the hard disk like it was on the
dvd directly?  That is, so xine shows menus and operates just like
playing directly off the dvd player?

Did you install 'vim-gtk'?  I don't use vim myself (emacs user) but I

Your setup is requiring the remote system to authenticate itself to you.
This is probably not what you want.  Most of the setups I am familiar
with, the ISP requires you to auth to them, but they don't auth to you.
This is what you are asking it to do.

It has been a while since I used ppp, but re-read the documentation---you
are looking for the auth/noauth option to specify on your connection to
your ISP. Last time I used ppp, this would be in a file in (e.g.)
/etc/ppp/peers/

I don't have an idea to solve your prob yet except that your chipset
nvidia isn't supported yet. You can try 2.6.5-mm4 where Andrew added
the DRI-CVS tree. Maybe this will solve your prob.

Debian has turned unusable.

[Trollcollect]

Hello list,

after 3 days of twiddling with a "recent" copy of
debians woody release i need to vent a bit of the
anger and frustration that this distribution has
caused.

I want to start with saying that i was a strong
advocate of debian compared to distributions such as
RedHat and SuSE. Being a UNIX admin professionally
(Solaris mainly), i felt home on a debian system
pretty quick, and the packaging method was unique
among all linux deriatives i have seen. Also i used to
like debians approach of stability before
bleeding-edge stuff.

However as i have to install a small network now (7
WS's and one server), i have to reconsider this
assessment. I downloaded woody (2 failed attempts to
get an installation CD with the new jigdo method).
What i got after installation was 
- a 2.2 Kernel without ext3 support
- a KDE 2.0
overall totally outdated and useless versions of
libraries and software.

I then tried to figure out how to update those
packages i need in recent versions. As i know KDE from
Solaris, i trust enough in their own QA procedure to
consider their 3.2.1 stable enough for usage. Why
debian believes KDE 2.0 is more stable, or even usable
at all, is beyond my understanding.

However it turned out that i could not update only
selected packages easily. In fact neither of dselect
or apt-get seemed to have a method to do this in a
sensible way. 

Now it MAY well be that i am just an idiot who is not
capable of doing this, however i asked in a few linux
related channels and also at work, noone could tell me
how to set up a half-way decent debian without
compromising the pkg system. Sure many told me to
build it all by hand but then, without the packaging
system what good is debian?

I hope that whoever is responsible for the direction
debian is steering to currently thinks about the
target of the whole distribution, which is to provide
users with a decent linux system that comes stable,
yet with all neccessary parts to be competetive among
other distributions.
