Two common ways:
rm -- -rtsp-stream-over-tcp

rm ./-rtsp-stream-over-tcp
In the first case, the -- tells rm to stop processing options, in the
second case you're finding a way to refer to the same file in such a way
that it does not start with -.
 

Often, too, you can use the TAB key to advance over problematic 
characters, a "?" to represent one of them and "*" to represent any 
number of them. So

rm ?rtsp-stream-over-tcp
rm *over-tcp
Sometimes, what prints as a space is actually something else. That can 
be particularly confusing.

Stopping kernel 2.6/discover loading Alsa and OSS

[Mark Cooke]

Hi,
I just upgraded from 2.4.26 to 2.6.8 from unstable, in the process I 
upgraded hotplug, alsa, and discover to version 2, everyhing is 
generally fine, apart from when I run the gnome-mixer, it shows a 
sigmatel soundcard?? and my SB live (alsa).

I have no alsa configuration files in /etc/alsa any more, as I moved 
these to a tmp location, to avoid problems, the problem is discover has 
changed the way they handle the config, it's xml based, and I cannot see 
(even after googling), what I need to put in there to avoid running oss 
drivers ( yes I know I can not build them in the kernel, but this kernel 
will be used in my dads machine, which alsa does not support).

I've tried converting the old discover.conf to the the discover 
configuration, as this was suggested, and nothing, it just moans, about 
invalid config options.

Is there a way I can only load one or the other?
Thanks
Mark

Sendmail: Deferred: Name server: : host name lookup failure

I realise that this must be one of the most commonly asked questions on the

It should be noted this comes in useful for all gnu commands.

grep -i -- -CaSe-InSenSeTive-Regexp-With-A-Dash-At-Start -filename-with-a-dash-at-start

And if you get a filename with non-printable garbage in it, then you
can say

rm -i ?rtsp-str??m-over-t??

Use rm -i though, otherwise the first time you try this, you will make
a mistake :)

Sometimes, but in this case it wouldn't work.  Using a * or ? will help
with characters that the shell wants to mess with, but - generally has
no special meaning to the shell. [1]

So "rm *over-tcp" will be globbed by the shell and passed to rm as
"rm -rtsp-stream-over-tcp".  This doesn't help because the first - is
interpreted by rm itself as an indication that the argument is a flag
instead of a file.

Some people take advantage of this behavior by creating a file called
"-i" in important directories, so "rm *" will turn into "rm -i ..."
causing rm to ask for confirmation before deleting.


[1] Yes, I'm aware of "cd -" and there are probably other special cases.

FreeBSD or DEBIAN for remotely administered internet server

[Peter Gutbrod]

Please no discussion about different licensing and other fundamentals, this
has been discussed over and over again.

Just some comments (ideally backed by practical experience), which one is
easier to keep up-to-date remotely via ssh, mainly in request to security.
So no fancy X-Windows stuff, no cutting edge beta apps, just stable
standards like apache, bind, MySQL, Qmail, Courier, Proftpd etc. (so the
advantage of FreeBSD's ports to be some times more current than DEBIAN's
packages shouldn't count very much, as long as both come up with important
security updates just in time). Some, like apache/PHP are likely to need
installation from source, due to the great number of options, most could
just be installed as binaries.

In case someone hosting a headless remote server and used both, DEBIAN and
FreeBSD, I'd like to hear the reasons why you prefer the one (expect to be
DEBIAN on this list ;-) over the other.

Thanks for your comments

Peter

PS: Posted this as well to  to collect arguments
from FreeBSD evangelists, just in case you are interested

This was mentioned on the debian-x list and seems to be a bug in the
t1-cyrillic package.  See http://bugs.debian.org/270346 .

As a workaround (note: not tested personally), you can probably
temporarily uninstall t1-cyrillic, install xfree86-common, and then
reinstall t1-cyrillic:

# dpkg --purge t1-cyrillic
# apt-get install xfree86-common
# apt-get install t1-cyrillic

This should work since /usr/lib/X11 is shipped as a symlink in
xfree86-common and as a directory (the bug) in t1-cyrillic.

Good luck,

KDevelop 3.1 anytime soon?

Hi,

I know this is a touchy subject, and Debian freezes seem oddly
coincident with KDE releases. So let's be civil ;-)

Is there anything known about KDevelop 3.1 coming to unstable anytime
soon? A large part of KDE 3.3 seems to have made it there already.

If this is a movie DVD, have you installed libdvdcss2?  Note that this
is technically not
legal in the U.S.  Once that's installed, "xine dvd:/" should do the
trick, assuming you've
installed the codec for unencrypted DVDs.

You may not have the appropriate decss codecs installed. Take a look at 
"/usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/README.Debian".

Hi All,
I'm having problems with getting my HP DeskJet 895C printer to 
work.  It is connected with a usb cable.  I have, I think anyway, 
all the appropriate usb modules (ehci, uhci, usblp, and usbcore) 
loaded in the 2.6.8 kernel I'm using, and I'm running sarge(upgrade 
from woody).  I also have CUPS and the HP drivers "hpijs" and "hpoj" 
installed.  I can log onto the CUPS admin page and work with it so 
CUPS seems to be installed correctly.  However, I cannot get the 
computer to find the printer.   I know the printer works as I just 
unplugged it from another computer and used the same usb cable for 
both hookups.
Anyone have any good ideas for troubleshooting this?  Being a newbie 
to Linux I'm at the end of my own ideas as to where to go from 
here.  I have run the "/etc/init.d/hpoj setup" command and it scans 
for, but does not find the printer.  I have the .ppd file for the 
printer installed in the /usr/share/cups/model/ directory.  The 
/proc/bus/usb/ directory is empty.   When I tell CUPS to look to usb 
interfaces for the printer, no matter what usb interface # I have 
used, the error log tells me the device can't be found.  When I run 
"gs -h" the "ijs" device is listed in the output.   

Try installing hotplug
Description: Linux Hotplug Scripts

and lets you plug in new devices and use them immediately.
It includes support for PCI, Cardbus (PCMCIA), USB and Firewire devices
and can automatically configure network interfaces.

Wayne,
I installed the hotplug module in the kernel as you suggested.   I 
even rebooted afterwards, but still no joy.


Move to tty1 then remove and insert the usb cable and check if the

Hi Martin (I'm BCC-ing you since your email was anti-spam munged),

Stefan already addressed your main question, so this is a little
off-topic.  But if you are concerned about security, you should be much
more worried about the fact that you are permitting user logins by FTP
than that the users can read some files in /etc.  Are you aware that FTP
transmits passwords over the 'net without encryption, so anyone snooping
on the connection could steal them?

I suggest SFTP as an alternative -- it unfortunately isn't as featureful
as some FTP clients, but at least it will encrypt passwords.

[If you are only using FTP on a closed trusted LAN, of course, I
withdraw the comment.]

Do you have a /dev/dvd link to the device of your dvd drive ?
You can verify with
ls -l /dev/dvd
If it does not exist you can create it (as root)
cd /dev
ln -s hdc dvd
(replace hdc with the actual device of your dvd drive, hdc is for
secondary master).

dont forget to change the group of the link. by default it will be
root change it to cdrom or video, and make sure you are a member of
the needed group. If it still wont work change the group on the device
- /dev/hdc or whatever it is to video (or cdrom)
 


 

Do you mount the dvd like:
#mount /dev/hdd /cdrom1
Or are you using automount?

FreeBSD or DEBIAN for remotely administered internet server

[Peter Gutbrod]

Please no discussion about different licensing and other fundamentals, this
has been discussed over and over again.

Just some comments (ideally backed by practical experience), which one is
easier to keep up-to-date remotely via ssh, mainly in request to security.
So no fancy X-Windows stuff, no cutting edge beta apps, just stable
standards like apache, bind, MySQL, Qmail, Courier, Proftpd etc. (so the
advantage of FreeBSD's ports to be some times more current than DEBIAN's
packages shouldn't count very much, as long as both come up with important
security updates just in time). Some, like apache/PHP are likely to need
installation from source, due to the great number of options, most could
just be installed as binaries.

In case someone hosting a headless remote server and used both, DEBIAN and
FreeBSD, I'd like to hear the reasons why you prefer the one (expect to be
DEBIAN on this list ;-) over the other.

Thanks for your comments

i've not used discover, but hotplug may be what's loading your sound
drivers by their pci device.  you may need to blacklist the one you
don't want automatically loaded by creating a file in
/etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/ and listing the modules you want ignored.

my system seems to have a /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/alsa_base file which
lists all the oss drivers to keep them from loading.  maybe you can
install the alsa-base package and get your system to use alsa (and oss
emulation) only.

It's an mml (MIME Meta Language) tag.  Paul uses Gnus, which in turn
uses Emacs' Message mode to compose messages.  mml is a tagging
language mecanism used by Emacs' message mode to convey
meta-information internally to the MUA, mainly to compose mime
messages.  AFAICT, it shouldn't actually appear in the resulting
message, instead it should be rewritten as some MIME stanzas - or, in
this case, as an inline PGP sig I guess.

To give you an idea of what use they are, if I want to encrypt a
message I add an mml tag to it.  The message only actually gets
encrypted at the time I send it.  This way, I can edit it without
breaking the crypto.  You can see it as a way to say "hey, MUA -
remember to encrypt just before sending - but not now, it is too
early".  Signing, encrypting, attaching some file work this way in
Gnus world.

So what you see in Paul's messages looks to me like a leftover of a
Gnus missetup[1].

Paul:  You might want to investigate that.  There are two issues that
I can see: First, this mml tag shouldn't end up in the final message,
should it ?  Second, ISTR that PGP/MIME is recommended over inline
PGP.  The reason is that mail systems can handle reliably &
automatically PGP/MIME signatures (handling being verify, strip,
whatever).  OTOH, they cannot with inline PGP.

Regards,

Footnotes: 
[1] Or, maybe, just maybe, some bug in Gnus.  But as we all know, this
fine piece of software is bug free, isn't it ?[2] 
[2] But then, with Gnus the difference between core Gnus code and
personal configuration sometimes dims.  That's half the fun with
this MUA.

Do you get both of these errors each time, or are they from different attempts?
Do you have something set up to try to automount CDs?  From an earlier
message, it seems that you have the softlinks and permissions set up properly,
so presumably that's not the problem.

Have you tried softlinking /dev/dvd to /dev/cdrom rather than
/dev/hdd?  There might
be an emulation layer between the raw IDE device and what xine wants
to see.  For
example, on my machine at work (RedHat, so I don't know how it differs) I have
/dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0
and the ide-scsi module installed.

upgraded libraries

[Wayne Ayotte]

I have installed debian 3.0r2. I would like to 
install aspell and a few other packages. They all report dependencies such as; 
libc6 2.3.2.ds1-4 and telling me I have 2.2.5-11.5.  I take it I need to 
upgrade my c libraries. I have tried using apt-get install, but it tells me I 
have the latest version??, rather confusing. The best I can come to is that I 
have the latest version for the distro. Can I still upgrade or will I break 
everything if I even attempt to? Try as I might, I can't find any 
tutorials/discussions on upgrading on the net. Any hints would be

you need to apt-get install bridge-utils
and read /usr/src/doc/bridge-utils/HOWTO


i did belive you could add the br0 settings into you'r
/etc/network/interfaces file to make it easier to get to start at boot,
but it's a while since i'v been doing this.

good luck

[OUCH!!] There are no input plugins.
 xine needs at least one input plugin, but none is installed.
 You should probably reinstall xine-lib...

# apt-cache search xine-lib
quark - music player daemon controlled from the gnome panel or cli
totem - A simple media player for the Gnome desktop (dummy package)
totem-xine - A simple media player for the Gnome desktop based on xine

So, it has some errors like that one, but the only one it might be

One solution here is to just prefix the file name with a directory

$ rm ./-xfff

Dual Boot Problem

[Patrick Moroney]

I'm trying to install Debian Sarge stable as a second operating 
system on a 200 gig drive and not having a lot of success.  The 
installation goes fine; I install Lilo in the MBR, the system 
goes for a reboot and then I get the following errors upon reboot:

request_module[block-major-3]: Root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open root device "302" or 03:02
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS Unable to mount root fs on 03:02
Please note, the reboot is unsuccessful, I never get to the step 
where it asks to set up mail or create a root password.  I just 
get the above message.  I can't scroll up to see any of the other 
messages.

To recover and make the system so that I can at least boot back 
into windows is using a dos boot disk, do a "fdisk /mbr" - clear 
out the MBR, and then using debian's fdisk, blow away debian 
partions, and mark the windows NTFS as bootable.  This has worked 
many times being as I've tried Lilo, Grub, and GAG as boot 
loaders - all successful.

The machine is x86 box with ASUS motherboard, AMD 1800 CPU, gig 
of RAM, ATI video card, and Audigy sound card.  Windows occupies 
the first 35 gig of the 200 gig board.

Should I make the system so that it will only boot into debian 
with a floppy?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Also note, I'm running Woody at work no problem, but when I try 
to install Woody at home, the natsumi driver does not work for my 
Netgear ethernet card - and therefore cannot complete the 
installation.

Yay pgp/mime, but it still seems to befuddle some poorly designed but

Re: problems in stalling 2.6.5 kernel

[Hervé Cochet]

Hi,
I 'va got the same problem with the aic7xxx scsi driver and the 2.6.5
kernel which did appear with the older 2.4 kernel version.
I finally resolved this problem by performing two steps:
1/ unactivate the acpi with the following line in /etc/grub.conf
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.5SMP)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5SMP
ro root=LABEL=/1 acpi=off
    initrd /initrd-2.6.5SMP.img
2/ use module-init-tools 3.0 instead of modutils

ressurecting a failed attempt to upgrade to sarge, w/out tossing /home

[matthew bradley]

Hi All,

I'm in a slightly frustrating situation due, primarily, to two things: my
relative amateur use of Linux, and this particular problem happening on a
Debian Linux box that I didn't originally setup. I'm particularly new to
Debian, and new to having to handle many things with linux.

I have a Dell PowerEdge 600SC, 2.4Ghz PIV, 80GB hard drive. It was running
Woody.

At someone's suggestion, I edited my /etc/apt/sources.list to update
essentially to sarge (he had done it, he's vastly more experienced, I was
trusting, and then he became unavailable -- traveling, I should have
waited). I seemed to go through the process just fine, got asked some config
questions, I believe I answered them correctly and before I knew it, it was
over and I had a couple of errors about a couple of things that didn't
totally install (don't remember what they were, but I think I know what they
weren't -- didn't say anything LILO for example, that I saw).

Anyway, I rebooted to see how everything worked. And all I got was a black
screen with some text that spit back my processor speed, cache size, bus
speed, etc. And then, on a new line the character "LI" and a blinking cursor
after that.

Someone suggested that maybe LILO got screwed up or mis-installed. They said
I could possibly re-install LILO, from say a net-install CD that I had. I am
not sure how to buck the regular install process. When I try, I get pulled
into the disk partition tool. I am not sure what I need to do.

My goal is to resurrect this system without killing the data in /home. 

The partition layout looks like, as displayed by the Sarge installer's
interface to the partition tool, including a couple of odd little icons:

IDE1 master (hda) - 80.0GB WDC WD800BB-75FRA0
#1 primary 57.5MB fat16
#2 primary 509.9MB swap (odd little smiley next to this)
#3 primary 79.4GB ext2 (odd little lightning bold/crooked arrow next
to this)

Any suggestions, particularly any detailed steps -- the hardest thing to
find -- would be very welcome.

Best regards,
Matt

libxine1 should install files like
/usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.0.0/xineplug_inp_dvd.so
If not, try xine-check's advice of reinstalling it.

Since mplayer isn't having any better luck, I'd still suggest trying
other softlinks.
You can see if scsi emulation is present by trying:

/sbin/lsmod | grep ide-scsi

If it shows up, try

cdrecord -scanbus

to see what scsi devices appear.  Other than that, maybe it's a kernel
issue.  I'm
still using the 2.4 series.

Did you install the hotplug package? apt-get install hotplug.

If you have set up hotplug correctly, you can check the syslog to see
if the printer is being picked up.

In a console, F1-F6, run this
tail -f /var/log/syslog

watch the output as you plug/unplug the usb cable to the printer.  If
you have it set up correctly you will see something like this: NOTE
this is for my usb camera as I don't have a usb printer.

Some question on source.list.

[Spencer]

Hi,

If one is going to upgrade to sarge do you need
the security pointers?
Here is my current sources.list file from installing woody.

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main

deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main

I want to change it to this.
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/  unstable main
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US  unstable/non-US main
#deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main

#deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main

My first attemp kept giving me warning that apt-get
couldn't stat  the security files. So on this attempt
I thought I would comment them out and the source
files..

On another related note, how do I know if the install
went well? I read that one may need to run 
apt-get install severals time for all the dependencies
to be satisfiled.
TIA
Wayne

you need to apt-get install bridge-utils
and read /usr/src/doc/bridge-utils/HOWTO
I did it and I tried but I got into troubles as the waproamd and plugd 
packages seem not ready to deals with bridges:
hence my request on the list.

no more idea ?
i did belive you could add the br0 settings into you'r
/etc/network/interfaces file to make it easier to get to start at boot,
but it's a while since i'v been doing this.
good luck

Hi All,
I'm in a slightly frustrating situation due, primarily, to two things: my
relative amateur use of Linux, and this particular problem happening on a
Debian Linux box that I didn't originally setup. I'm particularly new to
Debian, and new to having to handle many things with linux.
I have a Dell PowerEdge 600SC, 2.4Ghz PIV, 80GB hard drive. It was running
Woody.
At someone's suggestion, I edited my /etc/apt/sources.list to update
essentially to sarge (he had done it, he's vastly more experienced, I was
trusting, and then he became unavailable -- traveling, I should have
waited). I seemed to go through the process just fine, got asked some config
questions, I believe I answered them correctly and before I knew it, it was
over and I had a couple of errors about a couple of things that didn't
totally install (don't remember what they were, but I think I know what they
weren't -- didn't say anything LILO for example, that I saw).
Anyway, I rebooted to see how everything worked. And all I got was a black
screen with some text that spit back my processor speed, cache size, bus
speed, etc. And then, on a new line the character "LI" and a blinking cursor
after that.
Someone suggested that maybe LILO got screwed up or mis-installed. They said
I could possibly re-install LILO, from say a net-install CD that I had. I am
not sure how to buck the regular install process. When I try, I get pulled
into the disk partition tool. I am not sure what I need to do.
My goal is to resurrect this system without killing the data in /home. 

The partition layout looks like, as displayed by the Sarge installer's
interface to the partition tool, including a couple of odd little icons:
IDE1 master (hda) - 80.0GB WDC WD800BB-75FRA0
#1 primary 57.5MB fat16
#2 primary 509.9MB swap (odd little smiley next to this)
#3 primary 79.4GB ext2 (odd little lightning bold/crooked arrow next
to this)
Any suggestions, particularly any detailed steps -- the hardest thing to
find -- would be very welcome.
Best regards,
Matt
 

You didn't say for sure, but is home part of partition 3 or is it 
mounted on partition1?  Also is this a dual boot system with windoze?

Re: pureftpd (testing) size breaks files under subdirs > 2.1gbs

[Ralph Crongeyer]

Hi Justin,
I had this problem also.
In /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/ create a file called "LimitRecursion" and inside put:
5 500
'ls' recursion limits. The first argument is the maximum number of
files to be displayed. The second one is the max subdirectories depth.
That should hold you over for a while.  :-) 

And then restart pure-ftpd (/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd restart).
Thanks

Pureftpd uploads a file within it's subdir.
It starts the upload and creates .pureftpd files.

The dir has not been created by pureftpd.  The dir is still a .pureftpd

So pureftpd restarts the transfer and I get a bunch of .pureftpd files
and no file in a sub dir greater than 2.1gbs.
Is there an option I am not aware of here?

Suggestion: (But I may be mistaken about what is available on Sarge
netinstall)

Boot from Sarge netinstall, but do -not- press return.

Instead, press F1 to see a list of stuff on the CD. Take note of stuff
that sounds useful.

Then press F3 to see a list of optional ways to use the CD. There is,
I hope, a 'rescue' option.

Note any description as to how to use rescue. They might give better
instructions than I can give from memory.

Using rescue option you can gain access to hda and look at /etc/lilo.conf
Check for misconfiguration of lilo.conf
If you are lucky, you will see what is wrong. Fix it, with whatever 
editor is available under rescue. And then run lilo again. Watch the
screen output from lilo. You should see some confirmation that lilo has
installed good stuff on hda. You may have to retry a few times, if you
are new to doing lilo.conf

If this doesn't work, consider getting another HD. Install new drive as
hda, and move the present hda to hdb. Install whole new system on hda.
During install, using netinstall, you can arrange to mount hdb with its
data and file system preserved. Select mount points for the 3 partitions
in /mnt. When new system is running, copy data that you want to save to
new HD. Rearrange the furniture in your new, bigger home.

The security pointers are useless until sarge becomes 'stable'.  Once
sarge becomes stable, they will provide security updates.

These will give you sid (unstable) not sarge (testing).  To upgrade to
sarge, you want something like this:

deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main contrib non-free

Well,  if you had 'doze on partition 1 you could use the utility found 
at the link below to get the data off partition 3 assuming it is indeed 
ext2.

http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm
Baring installing windoze on a linux box to do that, the best bet it to 
get lilo fixed.  Hopefully someone will have some titbits for you on 
that one.

Hmm... I don't think this works since the shell will expand to

Re: Dual Boot Problem

[RRPotratz]

The strange one about this is that to restore the mbr in xp you are 
supposed to boot from the xp intallation cd, select recovery console and 
then run fix mbr and fix boot (might be fixmbr and fixboot, with no 
spaces)  I wonder what fdisk /mbr did? 
Is partion 1 Fat32 or ntfs?

instructions than I can give from memory.
Using rescue option you can gain access to hda and look at /etc/lilo.conf
Check for misconfiguration of lilo.conf
If you are lucky, you will see what is wrong. Fix it, with whatever 
editor is available under rescue. And then run lilo again. Watch the
screen output from lilo. You should see some confirmation that lilo has
installed good stuff on hda. You may have to retry a few times, if you
are new to doing lilo.conf

If this doesn't work, consider getting another HD. Install new drive as
hda, and move the present hda to hdb. Install whole new system on hda.
During install, using netinstall, you can arrange to mount hdb with its
data and file system preserved. Select mount points for the 3 partitions
in /mnt. When new system is running, copy data that you want to save to
new HD. Rearrange the furniture in your new, bigger home.

I ran xine-check after reading this thread and got a few [OUCH!!]'s of

I've also been using libdvdcss2 instead of libdvdcss.

Re: Dual Boot Problem

[Patrick Moroney]

After wiping out the debian partitions with debian's fdisk, I tried the 
XP installation cd - followed it's instructions, it failed & I lost 
everything on the harddrive.  Using debians fdisk to mark the windows 
partition as bootable got the thing going again.  Partition 1 is ntfs.  
fdisk /mbr clears the boot loader off the mbr.

This one definitely has me scratching my head . . .

wireless lan

[john gennard]

I want to connect to a neighbour's network to use his adsl connection
for large downloads.
I have a Usb Belkin Adaptor (F5D6050) which works fine in W2000,
but I need it in Sarge with a 2.4 kernel that I shall some change to 2.6
one, and also in Sid with a 2.6.7 kernel.
I've been unable to find a newbie type howto showing, what are the kernel
requirements, what to put into /etc/networks/ and so on. At the moment I
seem unable to get either installation to recognize that the Adaptor is 
there
at all. 'wireless-tools' is installed but 'iwconfig'  says no wireless 
extensions.

Both kernels are those with the installs (ie I've not yet done any 
recompile -
am waiting to see what is required).  It does seem, however, that 
everything
except the kitchen sink is selected as a module. 

I've spent hours in googling - there's a mass of information, but nothing at
elementary level where I need to start. I think the driver I may require is
the atmel at76c503 unless there's one already available in the kernels.
I've ploughed through Jean Touttilhes' vast output and understand some
of it, but not exactly where to start. There's much more,  but no overall
step by step.
A LUG group I often attend started to give me help, but that's  now  gone
quiet.
Would someone please assist me if they have the time.
Thanks,John.

BitTorrent Clients

[Brad Camroux]

Hello all,

I am trying to get started using BitTorrent on my system (Deb. Woody).  But I seem to 
be
having some troubles getting the client installed.  Specifically, I would like to use
Azureus, but have no luck so far.  Has anyone got this working on Woody without having 
to
"upgrade" to testing?  I think the main problem is that I don't have gtk2 installed, 
but
when I 

  #> apt-get -s install libgtk2.0-0

I get a long list of new installs, upgrades, and removes.  I don't have the time or 
desire
to sit for hours configuring what would basically be a new system at this point.  Does
anyone have any suggestions for getting a bittorrent client on Woody?  I really wish I 
had
a testing machine that I could fiddle with and not worry about breaking things, but 
this is
my "production" system, and it's my only system at this point.

Thanks,

Hi All,

I'm having problems with getting my HP DeskJet 895C printer to work.  It 
is connected with a usb cable.  I have, I think anyway, all the 
appropriate usb modules (ehci, uhci, usblp, and usbcore) loaded in the 
2.6.8 kernel I'm using, and I'm running sarge(upgrade from woody).  I 
also have CUPS and the HP drivers "hpijs" and "hpoj" installed.  I can 
log onto the CUPS admin page and work with it so CUPS seems to be 
installed correctly.  However, I cannot get the computer to find the 
printer.   I know the printer works as I just unplugged it from another 
computer and used the same usb cable for both hookups. 

Anyone have any good ideas for troubleshooting this?  Being a newbie to 
Linux I'm at the end of my own ideas as to where to go from here.  I 
have run the "/etc/init.d/hpoj setup" command and it scans for, but does 
not find the printer.  I have the .ppd file for the printer installed in 
the /usr/share/cups/model/ directory.  The /proc/bus/usb/ directory is 
empty.   When I tell CUPS to look to usb interfaces for the printer, no 
matter what usb interface # I have used, the error log tells me the 
device can't be found.  When I run "gs -h" the "ijs" device is listed in 
the output.

That did the trick. I had seen the hotplug module when I built my
kernel, but had never seen the hotplug (utility?) that is installable
using apt-get. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

What kernel?
Self compiled or from installation?
What are your lilo/grub lines to the kernel?

Ok, I understand fixing the MBR to boot XP again, but why rm debian?
I don't understand this problem.  It is sufficient to just restore the
MBR and mark windows as bootable.

Why not just boot from a rescue disk (I think most/all install disks can
be used as rescue disks also--check the boot options) and fix the lilo
install so you can boot windows also?  This at least fixes your boot
options until you figure out the debian install problem.

Alternately, I think XP allows you to create a boot menu that will boot
another OS in its own partition (never tried this so can't vouch for how
well it works).

Yes, this means that DRI and DRM are not being initialized. I had the
same problem, but I can't remember the exact steps I took to resolve
it. I beleive you need to load the module 'agpgart' if it is not
already built into the kernel, and then load your agp chipset module
'via-agp' if that is the correct one.

I'm not sure :) But make sure you did a make modules_install as root,
that should set up the module dependencies properly.

After you have loaded the module, check the output of  dmesg to see if
it successfully detected your chipset. I get something like:

agpgart: Detected AMD Irongate chipset
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 176M
agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xe800
...
agpgart: Found an AGP 1.0 compliant device at :00:00.0.
agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at :00:00.0 into 1x mode
agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at :01:05.0 into 1x mode

debian system. When I am trying to configure this tool I get the following 
message:
 
.
checking for pkg-config... 
/usr/bin/pkg-configchecking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0... Package gtk+-2.0 was 
not found in the pkg-config search path.Perhaps you should add the directory 
containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variableNo 
package 'gtk+-2.0' found
 
configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 
>= 2.0.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment 
variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find 
them.
I do not know how to do this. What does "Perhaps 
you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH 
environment variable" mean? And how do I do this?
 
I am hoping somebody does know how to solve this 
problem
 
Thanks in advance,

It's basically looking for the development packages, the *.pc files are 
usually packaged with them, so just install libgtk 2.0 dev.

apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
Hope that helps

Trouble mounting floppy with 2.4.27

[Eric Dickner]

I didn't have any trouble mounting my floppy drive as
file system type "auto" with 2.2.x, but since my
upgrade "mount" insists that I provide a file system
type.  I tried "msdos" but it tells me the kernel
doesn't support that type.

What might be going on?

Mouse Wheel not working.

[Eric Dickner]

I am using XFree86, but I'm not sure if the problem
isn't with the Debian (2.4.27) configuration.

Or is it a problem with how I've configured XFree? 
The KDE control center seems to think that the wheel
is there and working fine.

I think you need "apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev"
in order to get the pkg-config file, .so symlinks, etc.

apt-get install pkg-config libgtk2.0-dev libgtk2.0-0

and try again.

Printing From Browser Uses Ugly Font

[Jacob S.]

I'm not exactly sure when this started, as I've done a couple of
updates recently. This is on a box running all of the latest updates to
Sarge.

Whenever I print from Mozilla, Firefox or Galeon, all using the
'Postscript/default' printer option, the html is printed using a really
ugly font nothing at all like what I see on the screen. The font looks
like it's supposed to be some sort of fancy script font, but it just
doesn't look right having a page full of text written in a font that big
and gaudy. 

E-mails still print fine, but html pages printed from a web browser
don't. I'm using cups + hpijs to print to a HP Officejet G85. Any
suggestions where I could look to change this printing problem?

TIA,
Jacob

Not what I meant.  At the moment, stable = Woody, testing = Sarge, so I
still don't know what you mean by "Sarge stable."  Do you mean you are
using the new Sarge netinstall CD to install "stable?"

What exactly are you using to install Sarge? CD from ??? Sarge
netinstall CD (and what date)?

Why not?  Although grub is strange to use at first (if you are already
used to linux device names and lilo), it does have the advantage that
you can dynamically change what it is doing at boot time.  This can be
convenient to fix some boot problems.

Anyway, that is not really the topic, but it might be something nice to
play around with later.

It is sounding like a boot floppy might at least help you boot into
debian to finish the installation, but I wouldn't make that a permanent
situation.  The booting problems can be fixed.

:> I second that. Although I have set up dual boot where windows has
control of the MBR and installed lilo to my / partition (marking it as
the bootable partition) to avoid having windows trash my lilo
installation when it crashed/fixed things or upgraded (I never bothered
to figure out what circumstances lead windows to re-write the mbr
).  Rescue CD/boot floppy works just as well.

P.S. No need to CC me, I read the list.

expat.h

[Paul Akkermans]

Hi everyone,
 
Indeed I am trying to compile my structure editor, 
but I have one more failure and then in works. Now during make I get the message 
that I have not got expat.h. I believe that this is a Debian library file? If so 
(or not) how can I get this file?
 
kind regards

Probably what is happening is that you run udev on /dev without doing
anything to /dev (the debian bootup scripts should have fixed this).
Check to make sure that /dev if mounted as tmpfs.  You might have to
enable tmpfs in the kernel.
