It's /etc/init.d/bootclean.sh from the initscripts package. There are already some bugreports about this.

Nothing special AFAIK - you just put the appropriate server name into "Server Settings" using /usr/sbin/squirrelmail-configure and you should be all set.

If it is not explicitly set in main.cf, then you are using the defaults. You can find out what those defaults are by issuing "postconf -d".

Re: Re: SATA problems
you wrote "Boot the 2.6 kernel in installation, after hardware detection go ontothe console and post the output for `lspci -v` and `lsmod`." Sorry Adam, you've got a newby to install problems here... bear with me! Question: how do I go into console during an install? The system doesn't install, as there are no disks discovered, so I assume you mean some form of install console? I'm *well* out of my area of competence here, so can you give a few more details, pls. I was fumbling around on this last night, googling and anything else that might help, and tried "expert26" install off "etch", and got to a point where I could select drivers for my disks. I saw no drivers in the list that matched, but there was a selection to allow loading off a floppy. Meanwhile, I had emailed ULi, who emailed some drivers back (complements to ULi, I didn't expect a reply either quickly or at all, after all, if they replied to every Joe Soap, they'ed get no work done). Problem is, I don't know how to use them. ftp'ed (binary mode) them off the windows machine they arrived on, onto another Debian box, linux formated a floppy and copied them onto that, but the install program said it wasn't a driver disk, so no joy there...

libxml2-dev vs libxml2-devel
I have installed libxml2-2.6.17-2 which isn't in the offciail debian repository, and I have it successfully installed. Now I need libglademm-2.4-dev installed which depends on libxml2-dev-2.6.17-2 but I get this: libxml2-dev: Depends: libxml2 (= 2.6.16-7) but 2.6.17-2 is to be installed This is because it tries to install libxml2-dev version 2.6.16-7 from the official repository. So downloaded a libxml2-dev as a rpm package, transform it in a deb package with alien and used dpkg-scanpackages then apt-get update. The problem is that apt sees the package obtained from the rpm file as libxml2-devel and not libxml2-dev and that causes apt to try to install libxml2-dev from the official repository. So how can I make apt to recognize the package from the rpm file as libxml2-dev not libxml2-devel.

CD burner and automount experiences/misadventures w/ kernel 2.6.8 on sarge
I just recently upgraded from woody to sarge and struggled to get my CD burner (SAMSUNG CDRW/DVD SM-348B, ATAPI) and automount to work. Since I could not find a cogent and concise description in any one document, thought I would share with the list how I finally succeeded with the kernel 2.6.8. I originally thought I would have to upgrade to a more recent version of the kernel since I found numerous references to a problem with the kernel 2.6.8 and atapi cd burners. Fortunately, this turned out not to be the case. Following the Sarge release notes [http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes.en.txt] for upgrading from a previous release, I upgraded to sarge then installed kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686. I removed all references to ide-scsi from '/etc/lilo.conf' and '/etc/modules' and added ide-cd, ide-disk and ide-generic to '/etc/modules'. Added (or verified) my username was a member of groups: disk, cdrom, floppy, plugdev and adm (not sure if this last one is necessary). Use adduser as root to do this. The gnome-volume-manager provides automount for removable devices. It, in turn, requires udev, d-bus (dbus-1, dbus-glib-1) and HAL. Some (if not all) of these packages were added or upgraded in the distribution upgrade. However, the gnome-volume-manager was not installed to start (auto-magically). I added it to the startup menu for my gnome session using: Applications->Desktop Preferences->Advanced->Sessions (Startup Programs tab) Can now automount pre-recorded CD's and burn new ones using the Nautilus file manager. :-) -- Carl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Then, I downloaded both the kernel-source-2.6.8 package and the kernel-patch-grsecurity2. But I am not able to apply the kernel patch because in the kernel-patch-grsecurity2 package there are not any diff files to kernel 2.6.8, just for other versions like 2.6.11, 2.6.10 and 2.6.7.

Do you have "X11Forwarding yes" set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config? (Make sure to run "/etc/init.d/ssh restart" if you make changes to that file.) The "ForwardX11 yes" line in your ~/.ssh/config file will only affect _outgoing_ connections from that computer, not incoming. Plus, both "ForwardX11 yes" and -X will only work if the "X11Forwarding yes" line is set in the sshd_config file.

Package insall/uninstall weird behaviour
hello. I have a little problem running debian 3.1 r0a i was trying to install a hl5140 driver package, and the only one i seemed to find was an rpm. So i installed it with alien, but it wasn't very useful. Upon uninstallation (w/ Synaptic PM under KDE) all seemed well, but when i try to (re)install a deb version of the package, i get something along the lines of "Package needs to be reinstalled, but i can't find the archive' from apt. alien and dpkg request me to uninstall the package that somehow is still there, but can't do it, giving me something of the sort: Removing hl5140lpr ... /var/lib/dpkg/info/hl5140lpr.postrm: line 3: /etc/init.d/lpd: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing hl5140lpr (--remove): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 127 Errors were encountered while processing: hl5140lpr E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) RESULT=100 Any ideas how to get rid of the old pacake so i can install the new one..? or how to reinstall the new one Over the old? thanks adijr. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I tried to remotely print to the HP from a second system and hit the same problem. A google search indicates it might be an hpijs/gs interaction, so I tried different versions of gs without success. The solution in the archived message was to switch drivers, but that was for a woody install. Thanks for any help. My remote system was missing these packages: libijs-0.35, foomatic-db-hpijs, and hpijs. I had mistakenly assumed apt would handle all relevant dependencies, but apparently this is not the case and CUPS itself does no sanity checking. I now interpret the error messages as indicating a "raw job" resulting from the lack of a complete foomatic install. The lack of error reporting on the remote side is a bit puzzling, although I had forgotten to turn on debug logging there so it's possible it would have been flagged. It seems like a more "in your face" warning or even error message would have been appropriate. FWIW I suspect that my use of the CUPS server-server model, instead of the client-server model is a factor here, requiring the complete set of printing packages. On a side note, I was one of the many who apparenly are unsuccessful setting up the CUPS client-server model. It seems that most users who report problems default to the server-server model, which seems much simpler to set up at the cost of a little more disk space. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I'm sorry your having problems. Here's a debugging list to get started: 1. Are you downloading the netinstall iso from a reliable site? A lot of mirrors are unfortunately broken. 2. Have you verified the md5sum of the CD? 3. Has the iso image been properly burnt? Check to see if there is a single file or multiple files on the CD. It should be the latter. 4. Is it in fact a CD? Some PC will not boot from a DVD. Stupid, but true. 5. Have you been able to boot any other linux distro with that drive, on that PC? 5. Is it definitely a i386 netinstall iso?

That certainly makes sense but HOW DO I DO IT? The installer gives me no option either to format (select fstype) the logical volumes nor to specify a mount point. The installer creates the volume groups and logical volumes but then does nothing with them. The installer installs *everything* into /. Do I have to accept that then manually format the logical volumes, copy the /usr, /var, /home directorys, edit /etc/fstab, and then reboot? -- If I try to be like him, who will be like me? -Yiddish proverb Rick Pasotto[EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.niof.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

IIRC, in the partitioner screen, you will create the partition and when you press enter on it, instead of choosing use as /boot, /usr, or whatever, choose "use as LVM physical volume." After that, you go back to the partitioner and choose "configure LVM" or something like that. You tell it to create a volume group and it will ask you which physical volume(s) to use. Select the one(s) you want and create the volume group with whatever name you like. After that, you create and name the logical volumes. After that, you go back to the partitioner and then the new LVM logical volumes will appear at the bottom of the list. Then you select them one at a time and assign them to the partitions/whatever you want. In my case, I have logical volumes called var, usr, local, and opt in a volume group called vg00. I have / and /boot on their own real partitions, for good measure. In the partitioner, I had to go and select /dev/mapper/vg00-usr and tell it I wanted ext3 and to mount it as /usr. Once I figured out the correct sequence it was not too difficult. Unfortunately that part of the install process seems a little too unintuitive. -Roberto -- Roberto C.

Re: Opening urls in evolution
>I have the same question wrt firefox and KMail which I'm running in >gnome rather than kde. Interesting. I don't know kmail, but evolution provides no place for configuring this. I thought it might have something to do with the 'preferred applications' in gnome, and or /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser, but changing these (which are set to firefox anyhow) make no difference. when you say 'same question' are you getting the wget->vim result as well?

Totally screwed dpkg, I think ...
Hi all, Electric power went down while I was apt-getting dist-upgrade. Of course *the* filesystem that got to be trashed was /var ... Right now I got a parse error in /var/lib/dpkg/available.. Don't throw stones at me, I compounded the problem by deleting the file (yeah I know.. not bright. I figured that I'd get recreated at the next apt-get update).. So now I'm stuck with a system that won't upgrade itself.. Any way to get out of this ? I'm running the unstable branch.

No, in my case it opens Konqueror -- a lovely browser/file manager combination but without the platform independence that firefox offers.

Re: what programe like chconfig as in redhat
Khanh Cao Van wrote: > I'm news for debian and used to chkconfig in redhat to manage deamon > scripts to startup at boottime or not . Could you please tell me what > program in debian with the fuction like that ? A couple of points... People usually ask about chkconfig because they are used to other distros where it is very hard to install something later. So they install everything they can at initial system install time and then disable everything. This is not the Debian way. In Debian it is very easy to remove and install software at any time. Therefore there is little need to keep everything installed just in case. In Debian if you don't want a service running one generally removes it with 'apt-get remove'. If you want it running just install it again with 'apt-get install' (or 'aptitude install'). Configuration files are preserved across these actions so this is very easy. In Debian there is no difference by default between the run levels. The default runlevel is 2. Everything is started in that runlevel by default. If you really want to edit runlevels then the two programs useful for this are sysvconf and rcconf. They are quite different. Try them both and use the one you like. apt-get update apt-get install sysvconf rcconf Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Laptop loses sound on reboot
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I just installed Sarge on my laptop and upgraded to Sid with kernel 2.6.11-1-686. I installed the latest versions of linux-sound-base, alsa-base, libasound2 and alsa-utils and ran alsaconf. Everything worked fine until I rebooted, when the mixer programs told me that the mixer didn't exist. I tried rexima, alsamixer and aumix, all with the same results. The strange thing is that the mixer, lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2005-07-02 16:34 /dev/mixer -> sound/mixer does in fact exist, the modules snd_intel8x0 33216 0 snd_intel8x0m 18500 0 snd_ac97_codec 78360 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m snd_pcm_oss53344 0 snd_mixer_oss 19872 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm92712 4 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 24644 1 snd_pcm snd55300 7 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 9664 1 snd snd_page_alloc 10020 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_pcm are all loaded and I can find no error messages relating to alsa in any logs.
