Yeap, I have the same situation on a system with that chip. What happens
is that eth0 and eth1 simply "swaps places" on some boots (integrated
SiS900 and a Intel Etherexpress Pro 100S) i.e. it seem to initialize the
devices in the wrong order sometimes. Personally I couldn't be bothered
in finding a real solution, so I just scripted to have the system reboot
if eth0 did not come up with the MAC-address it was supposed to have.
Ugly solution, but workable.. change MAC's as needed.
#!/bin/bash
ETH0MAC="AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA"
REALMAC0="$(/sbin/ifconfig | grep eth0 | awk '$0 ~ /HWaddr/ {print
$NF}')"
ETH1MAC="BB:BB:BB:BB:BB:BB"
REALMAC1="$(/sbin/ifconfig | grep eth1 | awk '$0 ~ /HWaddr/ {print
$NF}')"
if [ "$ETH0MAC" != "$REALMAC0" ]
then
echo "REBOOTING DUE TO MAC MISSMATCH"
sleep 3
/sbin/reboot
fi
if [ "$ETH1MAC" != "$REALMAC1" ]
then
echo "REBOOTING DUE TO MAC MISSMATCH"
sleep 3
/sbin/reboot

.deb builder for Intel Compilers
Hello everyone, if anyone out there finds it usefull, I have managed to package the Intel Compilers for ia64 and i386. Assuming it is not allowed (and fair) to redistribute any binaries, I provide a .deb 'builder': http://www.physik.tu-cottbus.de/~george/debian/unstable/intel-compiler-source_8.0-3_all.deb or via apt deb http://www.physik.tu-cottbus.de/~george/debian unstable/all/ and install intel-compiler-source You will have to download the binaries from Intel yourself http://www.intel.com/software/products/compilers/ Detailed instructions for building the packages can be found at http://www.physik.tu-cottbus.de/~george/unix/admin.html#intel Have fun!

Is a later KDE version ok for Debian (Woody)? > > Thanx > Jeff Goodwin Hi Jeff, 'Woody' aka the current stable, is the official supported version of debian -- it is the only one with security updates. Its software does not change once debian sufficiently tests all of its software thus kde 2.2 was tested enough to be considered 'stable'. Unstable has the most recent version of kde. As the version in unstable gets sufficient testing, it goes into testing. After a while, the testing distro becomes 'stable'. This will happen shortly (cross fingers). So, what ever version of kde in testing, will soon become the version in the next 'stable'. here is the current kde info from the debian site: stable: 2.2.25 testing: 3.1.2 unstable: 3.1.2 although my unstable says: 3.2.3, so the site appears to a bit out of date. BUT there are other choices: 1) use unoffical 'backported' debian software 2) install kde from source (debian or non-debian source) to backport is when someone takes some software that people may need a more recent version for their job (like a sysadmin) and compiles the lastest version with libraries that are compatible with the current 'stable' environment. The stability of the new backport is not known and so it may or may not disrupt your system. in regards to KDE 3.3, i'd expect it wont be in the next stable version of debian. But folks will backport it, so you may want to use that. HTH -Kev -- (__) (oo) /--\/ / ||| * /\---/\ ~~ ~~ "Have you mooed today?"... signature.asc Description: Digital signature

If you used the nvidia drivers from the nvidia side and not the ones
that come with Debian you have to create a few device files at startup
to make them work. The nvidia install script creates those devices
itself, but in case of devfs or udev, those devices will be gone after
a reboot:
This is the script I currently use:
#! /bin/bash
case $1 in
start)
for i in `seq 0 7`; do
mknod /dev/nvidia$i c 195 $i
chown :video /dev/nvidia$i
chmod 660 /dev/nvidia$i
done
mknod /dev/nvidiactl c 195 255
chown :video /dev/nvidiactl
chmod 660 /dev/nvidiactl
;;
stop)
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
esac
# EOF #
You can save it to /etc/init.d/nvidia and 'activate' it via:
$ /usr/sbin/update-rc.d nvidia defaults
You also should make sure that the 'Driver' line in
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 points to:
Driver "nvidia"
not to "nv".
If this all doesn't help, have a look at /var/log/XFree86.log and
copy&paste the exact error message you get on XFree start.

upgrade to 2.4.27 kills VMWare?
Hi, I was running VMWare on kernel 2.4.26 and now that I seem to have apt-get upgrade'd myself into 2.4.27 VMWare won't run. I says I should reconfigure it, but when I do I get the following error: What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?

Maybe someone can provide some insights. Allthough I dont know for sure, but considering that you're not the only one it seems that this is fluxbox' normal behaviour.

configuration of nsswitch.conf ignored by system
Dear DebUsers, I've the problem that on all debian systems (Woody, Sid) it seems that some configuration changes of the nsswitch.conf are ignored by the system. We've a lot of Laptop systems that should resolve the groups also from LDAP - but only as long as they are in our company network. As soon as they leave this network (and can't contact the LDAP server) I've the problem that all logins and all actions where some user- or group-resolving is done take up to minutes (tcp timeout?). For this I've created the following nsswitch.conf: ---cut--- # /etc/nsswitch.conf # # Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality. # If you have the `glibc-doc' and `info' packages installed, try: # `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file. passwd: files group: files [SUCCESS=return] ldap #group: files shadow: files hosts: files dns networks: files protocols: db files services: db files ethers: db files rpc:db files netgroup: nis ---cut--- For me this config tells that first the process has to look at the local files and when the entry is found the resolving stops and does not start an ldap lookup. Unfortunately this does not work! As long as the ldap entry is in the nsswitch.conf and I cant reach the server I cant work with my system, I have to comment out the ldap-line and have to comment in the files-only-line. ==> Is this behaviour wanted? ==> How can I configure my system that it will JUST look into the LDAP when the files-lookup was not successful? Thanks for any help, Matthias P.S.: The problem is that on a server of our company this same bug brings some software to segfault and usually this bug is solved with a config like above, which works not on Debian...:-( -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This program has the advantage that it doesn't read the whole file into
memory, which is important if the file is large. Save it as an executable
file, randomlines, and then type "randomlines N file" to get N random
lines from file (without repetition). The lines will be in the same
order they were in the file. Type "randomlines -r N file" to get N random
lines in random order.
#! /usr/bin/perl -s
$N=shift; #first arg is N
srand;
while(<>){
if(rand($.) < $N){
if(@lines == $N){
# drop one random element
splice @lines,int rand $N,1;
}
if($r){
splice @lines, int rand @lines+1, 0, $_;
}
else{
push @lines, $_;
}
}
}
print $_ for @lines;
__END__
The proof that the algorithm is correct is by induction on the number of lines
in the file (also, see Knuth reference below).
It is based on a program in the perl documentation that returns 1 random
line from a file, which I found by typing "perldoc -q 'random line'":
How do I select a random line from a file?
Here's an algorithm from the Camel Book:
srand;
rand($.) < 1 && ($line = $_) while <>;
This has a significant advantage in space over reading the whole file
in. You can find a proof of this method in The Art of Computer Pro-
gramming, Volume 2, Section 3.4.2, by Donald E. Knuth.
You can use the File::Random module which provides a function for that
algorithm:
use File::Random qw/random_line/;
my $line = random_line($filename);
Another way is to use the Tie::File module, which treats the entire
file as an array. Simply access a random array element.

Debian Install
Greetings.. For those who have found installing Debian difficult in the past, well I recently downloaded the new Debian Installer (sarge-i366-businesscard.iso) and used it today to install a new system. I have tried numerous times unsuccessfully to install a system (with working GUI) prior to this time. My install today went without a hitch and the operations of the installer were much improved than past ones.. I installed a 'unstable' system, which installed kde3.2 and various other up-to-date packages, very easily.. For those who always wanted a Debian System, go for it..!! You can get it from Debian Homepage. I too now have a fully function Debian system and very impressed with it.. (and that apt-get tool.. how powerful is that!!) WELL DONE to the various maintainers of the Installer..!! -- Regards - Stef VK5HSX -= Support Open Source Software =- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: domain name of debian
> where does the domain name of a debain stored? > is there anyway to change it? I presume you mean DNS domain, not NIS domain. I think it is derived from looking up the name of the host, which is in /etc/hostname. E.g: my /etc/hostname contains 'dione'. my /etc/resolv.conf says to append 'myth.net' to undotted hostnames also, my /etc/resolv.conf says to contact 127.0.0.1 as the name server so then it contacts my name server (but it could equally well be any other one that knows how to resolve names in the domain) and asks "what is the IP of dione.?" What exactly you should change depends *why* you want to change it :-) Why?

release change
Hello list, I'm considering to switch a preproductive machine to testing, which will go after one or two months productive. Because it's my first branch switch, I have several questions, but previously some word definitions I will use: - currentStable (the current stable version Deb3.0) - currentTesting (currently the sarge branch) - newStable (the new stable Deb3.1 release point maybe end of September) - newTesting (current unstable? Don't know how it is called, or what it will be) Now my questions: - how will the branch switch from Testing to newStable be realized? - how can I tag my installation to a defined branch to stay on the currentTesting, which will be equal at the release date with newStable? I do not want, that my installation automatically moves from currentTesting to newTesting after the releaseDay. Currently I have tagged my installation to testing, should I switch the tag to sarge? Okay as you can see, I do not know how the releasing process of debian works, therefore I hope someone could explain me the facts.

The general answers given are: 1) Debian works on 13 different architectures. The installer must work on all thirteen also. Trying to squeeze an anaconda-style installer to fit 13 different arches is a lot more work than sticking with what we've got. 2) Installation on Debian only has to be done once, unlike some other distros that require a re-installation with each so-called "upgrade". Therefore installation ease is not a high priority. Maintainability is. 3) The Debian developers are volunteers. They scratch their own itch, and creating an installer isn't within their domain of interests as much as other projects are. If you want a good installer, write it yourself, or talk someone else into writing it. Don't demand things of volunteers. 4) Some folks don't like anaconda-style installers, because it's a solution that doesn't fit their problem. I'm not familiar with anaconda, but does it allow remote network-based installations? Booting from a USB pen drive and pulling the rest from the network? etc. 5) If you insist on an easy install, there are Debian distros that provide that. Debian is the core; these other distros are the fluff. Xandros, Libranet, Knoppix, Kanotix. Kanotix is based on Knoppix, but results in a pure Debian install. You might want to go that route. Generally, the people who ask about an easy-to-install Debian are thinking x86 workstation use, and don't give any thought to the other 12 architectures or to special-use situations. That's okay, but you need to be aware that Debian is a bigger project than that. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

alternative to cdrecord?
I've been hit with the issues between cdrecord and the 2.6.8 kernel. I've tried running as root as some have suggested (off-list), but at least for an audio cd, the results were less than satisfactory. Actually, they were crap. A bunch of mechanical-sounding bloops where King Crimson was expected. For now, I've reverted to kernel 2.6.7, where my audio cds burn fine. I could stay with 2.6.7. I could patch my kernel, but my confidence in my kernel patching skills are low to nonexistent.

Sound configuration (arts+alsa+jack+synth)
From Rosegarden FAQ [1]:
"Alsa? aRts? huh???"
I would like to use music editors like Rosegarden and it is very tough
to configure the environment so it can play MIDI through soft synthesis.
I could do it with "timidity -Oj -iA", but JACK is losing frames. I did
not get fluidsynth/qsynth to work with Rosegarden.
[[ I do not know if I took the right steps, though: downloaded a
soundfont from hammersound; installed fluidsynth and jackd*; killed
arts; ran "jack -d alsa" and fluidsynth -m alsa_seq -a jack font.sf2;
tried to play in Rosegarden; nothing ]]
I miss a utility that configure sound properly (all the environment, not
only ALSA) and documentation about configuring all these together
(arts+jack+alsa). I could not find any documentation about it in Debian
Reference, although AFAIK Debian docs are being rewritten for the next
release. The Linux Sound HOWTO [2] was last updated on 2001. Searching
on Google [3,4] gives many maillist messages and most recent is from
2002. Many things I found are for older kernels (2.2 and 2.4).
When I tell aRts to use JACK, at KDE startup, aRts does not find JACK. I
suppose I should call jackd at some place in KDE session start, before aRts.
In fact, my problem is: my adapter/driver (snd_intel8x0) accepts only
one channel so I need to mix channels by software; also I want to use
Rosegarden which needs synthesis. aRts seems the natural option since I
use KDE (I guess I have no other choice besides arts and esd).
Rosegarden site tells me that I need jack+{fluidsynth,timidity} and that
I should prefer fluidsynth.
I'm using kernel 2.6.7 and I have used alsaconf to set up sound card.

Request for help in tracking down a bug in X or hardware.
I am running Xwindows on Sarge. I have an S3 Savage video card. I have a strange problem in web browsers that use the Mozilla, i.e. all but Opera. My problem seems to occur with only one web site, namely www.theregister.co.uk , and not always even with that site. Sometimes when I bring up a page at that site, I get a region on my screen that is filled with narrow horizontal black and white lines. In particular, I just opened http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08/20/sp2_scripting_vuln/ amd got such a region on the far left of the screen, top to bottom, and 55mm wide. I can clear them from the screen by ctl-alt-F1 followed by alt-F7. I have several ideas as to what could cause this: 1. video card hardware is dieing. 2. bad XF86Config-4 3. uniquely weird html at that web site only 4. bug in Savage driver 5. bug in Mozilla I don't really like any of these theories, but still, the problem is there. Does anyone have any other ideas? AND in particular, does anyone on the list have similar hardware, run Sarge, and either sees the problem, or doesn't see it? Perhaps, you would be willing to help off-list by running tests and sharing results? -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Haven't you heard? IIRC the kernel 2.6.8 plugged a security hole that cdrecord used to function. Once the hole was closed, users could no longer run cdrecord as they could in previous kernels. With the old kernel, a user could potentially wipe a drives firmware. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I wonder if the other guy KNEW there was an RC1 out for the installer.

There are some scsi commands that can toast a drive; the kernel now has a blacklist of commands that non-root users are forbidden from sending. Unfortunately, cdrecord uses some of these commands, and hence cannot record when run as a non-root user. Root users can still send any scsi command they like to a drive. Unfortunately one comment I saw indicates that making cdrecord suid won't help, as cdrecord deliberately drops back to the real user id before burning the cd, for "security". I guess kernel hackers are working on a solution..

Apache2 binary mod_perl for Woody?
Hello, Where can I download binary mod_perl for Apache2 built for Woody? I checked backports.org but came up empty. What is apt-get's sources.list sequence to download this module? I downloaded Apache2 from backports.org but the mod_perl module was not automatically downloaded. Thanks, Guru -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
