Sorry to bother everybody. I hadn't googled enough before:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/debug

I have just just upgraded from woody to sarge, no problem.

But when I upgrade from the 2.2.20 kernel to 2.4.27-2-686, kdm will
not start.

In /var/log/syslog I get error messages like:

I can run X ok and startkde, but I need kdm to provide user logins a
la kde.

With kernel 2.2.20 everything runs fine.
   



Can you find any useful information in /var/log/kdm.log?
 


The only mention there is that:


Note that your system uses syslog. All of kdm's internally generated 
messages

(i.e., not from libraries and external programs/scripts it uses) go to the
daemon.* syslog facility; check your syslog configuration to find out to 
which
file(s) it is logged. PAM logs messages related to authentication to 
authpriv.*.



A grep for kdm in /var/log/* reveals nothing bar the messages above in 
syslog.


Note that I can start X ok and run ordinary applications like xterm, kde 
etc.


in /etc/init.d if I try ./kdm start it tells me that kdm is already 
runing and a ps -ef | grep kdm confirms this, but I have no kdm login.   
If I try ./kdm restart it reports that it has restarted, but the ps -ef 
| grep kdm reports on kdm processes running and again, no kdm login.


All I am stuck for is the kdm login.

thanks a lot.

There is a package called imapsync (I think; maybe it's mailutils), which can 
synchronise mails between imap folders, or move them.  Not sure if you're 
planning to keep the isSpam folder in IMAP though, or outside of it.  If 
you're having learnspam scan IMAP folders over the IMAP protocol, I'd love to 
know how (it would make DBMail much more viable for me).

Evolution browser

[Glenn Davy]

Hi all
I'm wondering how I can set evolution to open firefox. at the moment it
opens a shell, executes wget, then opens the result in vim. It wasn't
that long ago that it was using epiphany, though I don't know what
triggered the change.

incidentally /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser points to firefox,
executing 'sensible-browser' gnome-terminal opens firefox. The gnome
'preferred' browser is set to 'debian sensible browser' though changing
it to firefox doesn't change the situation.

any suggestions?
thanks
Glenn

I'd got the same problem.
And I don't want to go further more with that. If wine doesn't run
winprogram correctly I just leave it and look for alternatives in
linux world. Unless something's really important.
There's so much alternative for Yahoo! client ( I believe you've
already known ) such as Gaim, Kopete, etc.
I assume the reason why you want Y!M v.6 is because its eye candy,
then Gaim now has a lot enhancement on that. Kopete is nice too.
I don't see a feature in Y!M v.6 that hasn't provided yet on those
alternatives.

You should describe your problem more informative so others figure out
what kind of problem you're excactly facing at.
- What kind of mouse ?
- Which version of X ?
- Whisch kernel ?
- How is your X configuration looks like ?
- What "cheat" you had tried as you said ?

Re: 3d accel and agpgart

From: "Elmer E. Dow" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: "Debian User List" 
Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005 4:39 AM
Subject: 3d accel and agpgart



Greetings:

I'm tryiing to get 3d acceleration working on my IBM R40 laptop running 
Sarge

(3.1). I'm attempting to follow the instructions at
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriTroubleshooting.

It says to do "dmesg | grep drm" and if it displays nothing, then "compile
agpgart into your kernel or load it as a module." I can load agpgart with
"insmod agpgart" so I know that the module exists.

I tried adding Load: "agpgart" to /etc/X11/XF86config-4, but then when I 
do a

dmesg | grep agpgart I get:

[drm] Initialized radeon 1.7.0 20020828 on minor 0
[drm: radeon unlock] *ERROR* Process 1847 using kernel context 0

XFree86.0.log says:

(II) LoadModule: "agpgart"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module agpgart
(II) UnloadModule: "agpgart"
(EE) Failed to load module "agpgart" (module does not exist, 0)

But if I do a insmod agpgart, it says that it already exists.

A little later in the instructions, it says that I need to load the 
agpgart

module before the radeon module. XFree86's log indicates that indeed the
radeon module loads later.

The instructions don't seem to address the above problems. Any ideas?

Any input is appreciated, My knowledge and experience is limited.

- Elmer E. Dow

This looks similar to the problem I had recently with X not finding my 
Nvidia module.  Try adding the agpgart module to /etc/modules so it is 
loaded on boot and will be available when X tries to load it.


I'm a relative newbie also so I may be barking up the wrong tree but it 
might be worth a shot.

I cannot tell you which is better, but I can tell you they have
strengths in different places.   I've used courier for years, and I've
never had any issues with it.  You apt-get install it and forget about
it.   The only downside I can see is that it gets slower with large
mailboxes.

Here's where I like Cyrus.  I have a number of mail folders with mailing
list mails (I don't delete anything).  I make subfolders for each year
in each inbox to archive the past year's mail in.  So I have a lot of
mail folders that have between 30,000 and 70,000 mails in them each.
This gets very slow in courier, but hardly slows down in Cyrus.

Another advantage of Cyrus is that it has a built in cluster
architecture, called MURDER (I think).  Once this is set up, adding more
machines to cope with increased load becomes easier.

The downside is that Cyrus is a bit more complex to configure, the
official docs is as old as the mountains, and (my worst gripe), it
doesn't like it if you fiddle with the underlying file/directory
structure of the mailboxes.

check your ServerName in httpd.conf

make sure it is the fully qualified domain name

If you own the natted firewall look at putting apache on it and

using mod_rewrite

RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://192.168.111.11/$1 [proxy]
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.111.11/

that way the connections are not being natted in but accepted on the
external facing apache then redirected in

But isn't he right, at the end of the day, to be concerned about
software patents? Are the large companies not going to use the
legislation in the same way McDonalds used the libel law? Personally I
find the way politics is run these days far more obscene than one or two
swear words, as well. And I would have thought this list was exactly the
right place for a discussion of these issues. Why is it not?

SATA problems

[Jim Blake]

I have a Shuttle ST205G, with 2 x 80GB SATA drives in it. I have
confidence in the hardware, when installed with Windows, even the SATA
RAID (ULi M5287) works fine (F6 to load Raid Driver)

However, with Debian (Sarge) I get as far as trying to set up
partitions, and no disks can be seen by the installer. I've tried with
SATA RAID disabled in BIOS, so there are just 2 SATA drives there,
whcih I would "Software" RAID if I could see them, and I've tried with
the BIOS RAID (1) enabled, which presents the RAID array as a SCSI
interface, but in both cases I cannot see the disks.

I believe SATA support was included in the kernel from 2.6.10, but even
when I try to install with a 2.6 kernel and the NetBoot disk, it fails.

I think I need to add some drivers, etc to the kernel, but I'm not
confident (on what is needed *or* how to do it!). I've googled around
for a couple of days, and everything points in this direction, but I
need to be sure before I hack round and create a bigger problem than I
already have.

Hi Roman

Not something I've ever investigated.  There's been quite a lot of
discussion on the list on quasi (cheap) hardware raid cards.  My
impression is that software raid has a number of advantages.  I just had
a quick google for the threads but without success; someone else may be
able to supply better info.

[OT] Apple will run on IBM compatible Intel pcs

[Chris Bannister]

Hi,

Saw this posted at :

___
This is dramatic. It's been joked that hell will freeze over before
apple will run on IBM compatible / Intel pc's,
 but it
happened.

 This will mean 
faster chips and lower cost for macs, and this is good. We will have 
high performance linux on pc servers and slickly usable macs on pc
desktop.

This is perhaps the biggest move by Apple since OSX or the iTMS/iPods,
and is probably the reason they rewrote the OS to run on Darwin in OSX
(so it can compile to multiple cpus). Perhaps MacOS will finally be
ready for the masses, if they make the PPC -> Intel app porting as easy
as advertised and Windows app -> IntelMac porting easy too. I look
forward to it, OSX (especially Tiger) certainly has qualities to make
Windows nervous.

And then there's Debian releasing a new version.


Is it armageddon yet?
___

OK, because Debian releases a new version, doesn't mean the devil will
go to work on ice skates :-), but apple will run on IBM compatibles?

Hi,

Try adding to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

Section "Screen"
[..]
SubSection "Display"
Depth   16
Modes   "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection

the resolution you want explicitly e.g for 1024x768 @16
edit the above "Modes" line to
Modes   "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

Adjust for other depths as needed.

Go to: http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/#netinst-stable

pick your architecture and download the .iso image.  Burn it as an .iso
image (Track at Once)... and it should boot.  I've never tried the
DVD install and so can't help with that.

mkinitrd & evms. Chicken and egg?

[Tom Larard]

Hi,

I'd like to mount my root partition on /dev/evms/hda1. Currently it is
mounted on /dev/hda1.  (The reason for wanting to do this is so I can
use hda[2-10] with evms)

Mkinitrd correctly probes my root device (as it is now), and notices
that it is not an evms volume, and hence excludes the evms programs
from the initrd. It will create an initrd with evms support if the
root partition is already *already* mounted through evms, but I can't
do that until I have an initrd with evms support!

I looked at the ROOT=probe option in the mkinitrd.conf, which seems to
allow specifying the root device and its type, but I couldn't find any
examples of what to enter here.

Is there some way to force mkinitrd to add the evms support? 

Thanks,

Tom

Ok that is of cause a valid clam - I might have made the massage a
little short - what I was refereeing to is actually a quite old
discussion about niced cron jobs  (i.e.if they should be allowed or
not) and I just wanted to know if it actually was possible now, that
was why I kept it short - I can renice the task from with in itself
(i.e by getting the pidof itself and then renice it) but setting a
level in crontab would be much nicer.

See this post for an old (inconclusive) discussion about niced cron jobs:

the reason for above is either in the man pages and these archives.
essentially once you've editted XF86Config (changed the md5) then
package managers assume you won't want them to write all over your
changes. the fix is also in said sources

Sarge Install | From floppy & DVD | Not finding hard drive or wireless

[David Hart]

Hi,

Installing for the first time. I have Sarge on DVD, but my machine
won't boot from them so
using floppys. Using the boot.img, root.img and cd-drivers.img from the 1st DVD.

Problem 1 - Does not detect my Belkin 802.11g PCI card (F5D7000).
I will leave this until after install to fix, but it means I have no network

The installer then insists on trying to find a mirror - of course it
can't with no network.

Problem 2 - In hardware detect it says it is missing a load of files:
ata_piix
ide-scsi
ide-mod
ide-probe-mod
ide-generic
ide-floppy

I then can't partition or install because it "can't find any
partitionable drives".

It have a feeling that I need to point the installer to the DVD rather
than a mirror and it will find these files and install - but I just
can't see how to do this. I know it is reading from the DVD after
asking for the driver floppy, so it is def. mounted. Am I missing an
installation option?

The machine is a Dell 5000 with SATA HDD on SATA -0, CD-Rom on IDE
(primary) and DVD writer on IDE (secondary).

Thanks a lot,

David Hart

Changing debian/rules == failure

[schnitzel meister]

Hello.

I was under the impression that rebuilding a debian package was a
simple matter of editing the debian/rules file and running debuild.

It fails. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I need to rebuild php4-sybase to use the Sybase libraries rather than
the tds libraries.
Editing debian/rules seems to break other patches needed by the build.

Here's what I did:
 apt-get install devscripts
 apt-get source php4-sybase
 apt-get build-dep php4-sybase

Next I edited debian/rules so that
 --with-sybase-ct=shared,/usr
was changed to
 --with-sybase-ct=shared,/opt/sybase/OCS_12-5

(I've ignored the --without-sybase-ct lines for moment, since I want
to get it building first.)

Running "debuild -us -uc" gives me an error:
 make: *** [patch-stamp] Error 1
 debuild: fatal error at line 765:
 dpkg-buildpackage failed!

I get errors further up too, such as:
patching file ext/standard/url.c
patching file ext/standard/url_scanner_ex.c
 Hunk #1 FAILED at 1.
 Hunk #2 succeeded at 107 (offset 2 lines).

 Hunk #15 FAILED at 870.
 Hunk #16 succeeded at 1085 (offset 65 lines). 9 out of 16 hunks
FAILED -- saving rejects to file ext/standard/url_scanner_ex.c.rej

The compile works fine before I modify the rules file, and I can't see
any references to sybase within url_scanner_ex.c

Anyone help?

Not so much, no. A better place would be debian-legal

Because this list is for "Support for Debian users who speak English"
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/). Political issues are not really
support issues.

The general consensus has been that short-lived off-topic threads are
acceptable as long as they don't stray too far from the interests of the
list members (and they should be marked "OT" in the subject line).
Guillaume's original posting was probably considered by most members as
perfectly acceptable, even raising our conciousness of the issue. But
when no one responded, he went semi-ballistic, and now the whole thread
has just become, for lack of a better term, "trollish". His lack of
grammar/spelling didn't help (see recent "Hackers, Spelling, and
Grammar?" link on Slashdot
(http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/06/30/1532238&tid=215&tid=4)
for relevant discussion)).

Again, the occasional off-topic side discussion about software patents
is probably perfectly acceptable on this list (although it more better
belongs on debian-legal), Guillaume just needs to learn "how to win
friends and influence people" rather than bullying them into his way of
thinking.

Need help securing mail server: already got hacked.

[John Foster]

I have exim4 using the heavy daemon set up and it runs fine. I am setting it 
up to serve mail for 5 sites (all my own) that I have on a single box using 
Apache2 and as virtual sites. All is working fine . I was advised that I 
should set up a pop3 server in order to allow access from a remote system to 
these mail sites. Again (I used popa3d)  everything worked fine. The problem 
is, I got hacked almost immediately and my mail system was used to send a 
load of spam all over the place. The result is that I have had to shut down 
the servers until I get my system hardened enough to do the job & quit 
getting hijacked by spammers. I have been reading the docs but time is not my 
friend here I need to get this done ASAP so I can get these servers turned 
back on. My ISP will shut me down if I leave the system up in its current 
state. All tips greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

[Note: hacking is what knowledgeable sys-admins do when they can't find
a program that perfectly meets their need. Cracking is what bad guys do
to break into your server. Hacking is good, cracking is bad.]

Are you sure it got hacked or did you have exim4 setup as an open relay?
An open relay is much easier to fix than a cracked server.

To have your server tested to see if it is an open relay and have the
results e-mailed to you, go to www.ordb.org.

If your server was really cracked, you are best doing a full re-install.
But first, you might try to analyze how they got in and what they used
to gain root (or if they even got root). Run chkrootkit to see what
it can find and maybe use a Fire[1] cd to do some forensics on the
server. Then make sure you are using the latest versions of all of your
packages and setup an iptables firewall on the machine. 

As an aside, I sometimes wonder if Nationwide would even notice that you
got cracked. August's service has gone down quite a bit since they were
bought out. :-(

HTH,
Jacob

Loading only one file still does not work as well. The same file can be

read only root and udev

[Andy Smith]

Hi there,

I have a 2.6.12 debian sarge system running from compactflash which
I am trying to convert to read-only root.

Following the information at these sites:

http://panopticon.csustan.edu/thood/readonly-root-README.txt
http://roland.entierement.nu/index.php/archives/2005/04/04/read-only-debian-on-soekris-howto/

I have achieved most of what I want to do, but putting the small
number of files and directories that must be writable onto a tmpfs
at /dev/shm and symlinking to them.

I then tried to tackle the remaining minor problem of the system not
being able to change permissions of various devices when I log in.
The first URL above suggests udev.

So I apt-get install udev and reboot.

Things did not go smoothly; it seems my /dev/shm is mounted by
/etc/rcS.d/S02mountvirtfs but then sometime later it is umounted
again by something (I can't work out what), leaving me with no
writable filesystems and no daemons can start.

Anyone more experienced with udev have any ideas what is going on?

Thanks,
Andy

Good luck in your quest to reverse 10 years of media misappropriation
of the term 'hacker', and I hope that the confusion of using the term
hacker with people not in the know (i.e. everyone else) does not

Ouch. I cannot help you with this specific patch, but I would suggest
that if it appears non-critical, you could remove it from the patches
dir and just do without. I think you are on the right track wrt to
your approach to customisation. Maybe it's worth filing a bug?

SATA should work with the 2.6.8 kernel as well. FWIW, I've moved to SATA
only setup at the beginning of the year. The biggest problem for me was
installing Windows because I had to scavenge a floppy drive from somewhere!

Boot the 2.6 kernel in installation, after hardware detection go onto
the console and post the output for `lspci -v` and `lsmod`.

Your problem is probably related to Problem 1 -> Problem 0, aka no
drivers loaded :) I never booted from a floppy to install Sarge, but
from the file names I'm guessing the only drivers you have installed are
for the CD drivers. These are then suppose to be used to install other
drivers? I'm guessing. I don't know exactly.

Well, did it load the drivers? Because your other problems point that it
cannot find the kernel drivers. You can check that the DVD is mounted in
the console - activate it and the DVD should be mounted (use `mount`
command to check current mounts).

bluetooth-enabled cell phones that have the modems built in, and then a 
cable to their laptop computers or bluetooth connections.  Search for 
that sort of thing if your not on T-Mobile, as there will probably be a

of those phones (even the Windows people need the info to adequately use

This requires the user to to be physically present, power down, open the
case and modify the system hardware.  It's unnecessary and may not be possible.


no it does not ...

- you can simulate a missing disk ( at least the missing MBR )
  to see if it boots the other disk

dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/hda bs=448 count=1


This doesn't address the problem.  Again, the only workaround I know about
is removing the SCSI (or "first disk") to make LILO work correctly.  That
requires the steps I outlined.  Even if there is a better workaround, it
still seems like a bug to put the MBR on the wrong disk.

I've never used raid, so I think you are confused about my problem.

If you want something free you can try squidguard (www.squidguard.org),
but I found when I tried it some time ago that there wasn't easy to get
an up to date blacklist, which is essential for what you want.  I use
Optenet (optenet.com), which is a commercial package that runs as a
helper application for Squid.  One advantage of Optenet for you is that
it is a Spanish company, so the text analyser in Spanish is probably as
well developed as the English.

Switching to the 'vesa' driver solved the problem. It works great. The

a specific chip that's not on the board.

Well, I would go the otherway around, i.e. if something in Linux lacks
some features and a Windows application offers it, then it would be nice
to have it under Wine.

However, right now I'm trying to experiment with a few applications
under Wine of whose alternatives are available in Linux and I already
use them, e.g. Gaim (for YIM), Nvu (for Dreamweaver), kpdf, xpdf,
Acrobat Reader (for Acrobat Reader), etc. My aim here is to try some
popular applications under Wine on Debian. So any help would be highly
appreciated.

clamav update to 0.86.1 using volatile.debian.net

[Alex Marz]

I'm currently a new user of debian and am a little confused as to my
install of ClamAV using http://volatile.debian.net. If one looks at the
following link..

http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian-volatile/pool/volatile/main/c/clamav/

It appears that there are updated packages ( 0.86.1 ) for 0.85.1. My
/etc/apt/sources.list looks like this.

hercules:/home/alex/public_html/sasknet# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian sarge main contrib

deb http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian-volatile sarge/volatile main
deb-src http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian-volatile stable/volatile main

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

As far as i can tell my entry in sources.list is correct but when i run
apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade it indicated there are 0 packages
to be upgraded. Am i jumping the gun here or can someone tell me where I'm
going wrong.

lilo puts the MBR where you told it ...
vi /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/  

that is where it isntalls it

- if you have preveious ran other tools that installs MBRs, than those
  MBR is used instead
- there is an MBR for /dev/hda
- there is an MBR for /dev/hda1
- there is an MBR for /dev/hda2

for each disk

raid or not.. multiple diskss or not .. you can still see if oyu can
boot off the other disk

- its still NOT a lilo bug that you get a warning messages, though it may
  not be what you want it to say

Okay, I see what you mean. The only point I would quibble with was the
reference to grammar/spelling: on this list I tend to ignore such
things, especially when the name suggests that English is not the
first language. I must confess I have no former knowledge of Guillaume
Tessier, I don't know whether I'm alone in that. I've had a quick
look at the first few parts of that Slashdot link - it looks
interesting, but too long to look at tonight.

Incidentally, if I seemed to be condoning bad language on the list this
is not what I meant to do, exactly. It isn't that I think bad language
is somehow okay, more that I am so angered by what I perceive to be
going on all around us that I fear swearing should be the least of our
worries. I confess to being prone to the occasional swearword myself
(not openly on list), which probably clouds my judgement. But swearing
on this list is not okay and I didn't mean to imply that it was.

Thank you Kent, and also Adam, for your measured and informative
replies.

Cheers,

Geoff

Kernel 2.6.12 borked my udev rules

[Deviant User]

At first I thought my udev rules (installed as 
/etc/udev/rules.d/001_my_udev.rules) broke because I
installed additional HAL packages. But after I booted to
kernel 2.6.11 without so much as touching a single config
file or installing an additional package, my udev rules
started working again.

I'm now convinced something in 2.6.12 broke my udev rules.
The following udev rule works with linux 2.6.11 but NOT
with 2.6.12:

BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="RunDisk", KERNEL="sd?1"
NAME="USB_Flash_Disk"

This allows me to mount a usb thumb drive as
/dev/USB_Flash_Disk. Can somebody tell me what's wrong, if
any, with the rules, and how I could change it to conform
with the new "rules" for linux 2.6.12?

I'm running a mixture of unstable (mostly for Gnome) and
testing packages (the system).

how did you "verify" that lilo wrote to the wrong disk
vs the scsi disk already having the mbr from prev installs

how do you know the "lilo stuff" you see on the screen is coming
from hda  vs sda 

- did you make the look-n-feel different on the different disks
so you know that the mbr you see on the lilo boot screen is
the one corresponding to each different disks

- label theboot kernel differently, explicitly for each
hard disk

- that is a trivial way to see which MBR is being booted

- it's NOT possible, or extreme slim chance, lilo writes to the wrong
  boot=/dev/xxx divice

than you cannot claim there is abug if you cannot explicitly confirm  it
and duplicate the error

not possible ... more likely that there;s something you forgot or
overlooked ... lilo does NOT write tothe wrong disk ... it does
NOT overwrite anything

- which version of lilo ...
- did you go to the lilo site to download the latest version
that was previously posted ...

bios boot order has NOTHING to do with "disk stanza" (presumably in lilo)

With 2.6.12 you need to use udev-058+ for custom rules to work,

return an error to that effect.

As I mentioned before, the target partition /dev/hda1 subsequently failed to
boot, and removing the SCSI disk from the system bypassed the entire problem.

I just realized I left out an important detail.  At the time I ran LILO
the SCSI disk was the boot drive, and the root partition was /dev/hda1 as
specified in the root parameter on the LILO boot prompt.  This is how I
could get away with unplugging the SCSI drive, in case you wondered.  :-)
I did try booting with a rescue floppy and with the SCSI drive still in the
system but that did not solve the problem.



how do you know the "lilo stuff" you see on the screen is coming
from hda  vs sda 


I don't know offhand how to map the BIOS disk numbers (0x80, 0x81, ...)
to the Linux disk numbers (0x300, 0x301, ...).  That's why I performed
the other tests to verify the actual write to the SCSI disk.



- did you make the look-n-feel different on the different disks
so you know that the mbr you see on the lilo boot screen is
the one corresponding to each different disks


As I pointed out before, I don't get as far as booting.  The target drive
hda still doesn't boot and the SCSI drive stops booting.



- label theboot kernel differently, explicitly for each
hard disk


See above.



- that is a trivial way to see which MBR is being booted

- it's NOT possible, or extreme slim chance, lilo writes to the wrong
  boot=/dev/xxx divice


The impossible seems to be happening.  I'd entertain alternate theories.

 

> - did you delete the mbr info on /dev/hda or /dev/hda1 or /dev/hda2 ...
>   on each partition you are trying to test

I'm not trying to test any partitions, and deleting MBRs generally seems
like a bad idea to propose as a debugging procedure.


than you cannot claim there is abug if you cannot explicitly confirm  it
and duplicate the error


I've seen it many times on different systems, hence the workaround.  I don't 
know
if others can duplicate it or not, hence one of the reasons for posting.




> - did you look at the contents of the mbr BEFORE and AFTER you
>   ran lilo



No, but I think the write to the wrong disk takes precedence over
specifics about what data gets written and where.


not possible ... more likely that there;s something you forgot or
overlooked ... lilo does NOT write tothe wrong disk ... it does
NOT overwrite anything

- which version of lilo ...
- did you go to the lilo site to download the latest version
that was previously posted ...


The last time I hit the problem was a few months ago.  It's possible that
a recent version has fixed the problem, but a quick scan of the changelogs
doesn't seem to indicate that.




> - did you change the bios boot order

Again, I tried using disk/bios stanzas without success.


bios boot order has NOTHING to do with "disk stanza" (presumably in lilo)


I changed the boot drive in the BIOS, if that's what you mean.  That's how
I discovered the problem.

Squirrelmail and remote imap

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello all,

I have a mail server with qmail + vpopmail + courier-imap installed and
working properly. I have another server as a webserver working fine. I'm
running Squirrelmail on the webserver. I've configured it to connect to the
imap server for all mail related stuff.

When I try to login using Squirrelmail it throws me back to the ERROR page
with message "You must be logged in to access this page."

A manual telnet session from the same webserver works fine.

I don't think this to be the right question but to double check, Are there
any add-on modules required for Squirrelmail to work with remote imap
servers?

Regards,

rrs

Well I'm not sure exactly what was going wrong, but I have fixed
this by adding the /dev/shm to my fstab and building its filesystem
after mountlocal in rcS.d.

After boot is finished I'm left with multiple bind mounts of my root
filesystem which I don't quite understand, but it all appears to
work now:

rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type ext2 (ro,noatime)

Hmmm, its in "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc". It is a strange location, 
but it doesn't seem to stop another vmware related module in that 
directory from loading (of course, I didn't actually went through the 
vmware-tools startup script to check if it does a "insmod 
full_path_to_module"... maybe that's it).

Laptop touchpad clicking twice

[Wayne Sitton]

I have Debian Sid installed on my laptop.  Everything works fine except
the touchpad.  when I tap it once it registers a double-click. In the
XFree86 config I have the mouse set to /dev/psaux and the PS/2 protocol.

Where would be the config to look at for this, or how could I fix this?
