I'm a quasi newbie to Debian also. I would reccommend that you learn all about apt-get. This is a Really Powerful Tool. To find if there is a Debian program of what you want to install do either a dselect update or a apt-get update. Then you can do a apt-cache search and that will show you all of the programs with that name in them. To find out what the program does you can do a apt-cache show and that will give you a description of the program. After you find the program that you want to install do a apt-get install and that should install the program and the required dependencies if any are required. HTH Don __ Do you Yahoo!?

The /etc/mplayer.conf has the gui=yes . I guess what I need to know is how do I change the menu to be EXEC /usr/bin/mplayer ? Appreciate the help. Thanks Don __ Do you Yahoo!?

In your etc/lilo.conf you need to add to the append="apm=on" After you make that entry you need to type lilo in the terminal to maje sure that you update the lilo.conf file.

Then from what I see you did not run lilo after you changed it so I would open lilo.conf in your favorite editor, make sure that append="apm=on" is there, save it and then run lilo. If you then do shutdown -r now as su or root the system will reboot. The next time that you shutdown your laptop, it should shutdown correctly.

If you want to keep the gnome2.2 updating to the current release then leave the sources list the way it is. If you just want to stay with stable then all you need to do is add a # as the first charcter in your gnome2.2 lines in your sources.list and then all you need to do is apt-get update && apt-get -u upgrade.

USB support?
Excuse me but I am just a LURKER, two questions if I may? #1. Is there USB support for NETWORKING in Linux? I think there is something that is to the NEGATIVE that I read but do NOT remember where. #2. With all of the messages on this 'ls' where do any of you find the time to do anything for yourselves? I spend most of the day reading, just the selected ones that may interest me, or is it just that I am such a NEWBIE that I feel all messages should be read so I may learn as much as possible and go into OVERLOAD! OVERLOAD! OVERLOAD! OVERLOAD! OVERLOAD! OVERLOAD! OVERLOAD! OVERLOAD! OVERLOAD! , etcetera. I think you get the idea. TIA, don Hodges [EMAIL PROTECTED] San Antonio, Texas
A NEWBIE inquiry......
Hey folks, this is the LURKER again with an inquiry on installs on the same drive. I purchased a copy of "Mandrakesoft's Linux® Mandrake©" v7.0/w 3 CD's (installation disc #1, source disc #2 and extra #3) about a year ago. To make a long story longer, NOT really, there were some major problems I had to deal with here and had to put it to one side. Well about 2 weeks ago I saw a copy of "SAMS Installing Debian GNU/Linux®" with one CD v2.1. Could NOT pass this up so I purchased it to learn as much as possible about these two systems. I am running Windows SE 98+! V4.10.a on a PCChips PC100 MBD/w AMD K6 II 3D 400meg, 163.48meg RAM, USR 56k INT MDM plus a PCTEL WinModem (that is NOT being used at this time), two 8.4 gig IDE H/D's. One is setup to run WinBlows 98 the other I have set to 7 partitions, three for Debian v2.1 and three for Mandrake v7.0, there are 6 of them the other is just FREE SPACE. Hope to be able to access that from which ever one needs added space. Now my question is what would I have to do to set these up so I can access one from the other? I can now access the WinBlows from Mandrake, have NOT set things so I can do that from Deb just yet. The other is how can I get both of them to acknowledge my USR MDM, neither one will recognize it and MD never has even from my first install? I know there are HOWTO's and many other MAN pages and various other thingys, I spend most of a day just attempting to keep up with these messages. THE END. This has gone on far enough, I am going to give you the chance to do what most people DREAM of being able to do, TELL ME WHERE TO GO to reach my END. ONE more for the ROAD, please.where is a GOOD place for a NEWBIE that is NOT a programmer nor very familiar with UNIX or Linux to learn how to get started. I Know READ, READ, READ, etcetera, at 61 I do NOT have that much time left to do all of that. TIA, don Hodges [EMAIL PROTECTED] San Antonio, Texas

Again, to make a short story longer, from what I have seen and read in most of these messages the ones asking these questions for assistance are NOT the same type of NEWBIE that I am classified. Most are really up on this CPUing thingy, as for my self well lets just say I am a project in work or is it a work in progress? You get the pic any way.

Deb-Newby: Read HOWTO's?
LURKER here again, what is used to read the HOWTO files? All of the ones I have on my system are **.gz, I know that means compressed. What to use to uncompress? When I used to work on UNIX systems you used a command called "compress" with different switches to do that or to uncompress. As usual one for the road, if those that are NOT a user nor a programmer would put in the "Subject" some thing like what I have installed would help MOA find the ones with the 'HOLD MY HAND' instructions and save me and I am sure many others much time searching for thingys that could be useful to me/us.

Deb-Newby: Read HOWTO's?
LURKER here again. In the Configure-HOWTO file the instructions are written by a person that uses RH and the suggestions will NOT work for Deb. I know I am using a very OLD version of Deb v2.1 but that is what is on my CD I have and that is much easier to work with when if I have a problem with my modifications of some of the files, I have to reinstall it is simpler for me to use this CD instead of having to compile (which I am NOT familiar with) a new kernel, vmlinz, or what ever is needed. Can I just find a HOWTO on Configuring the different files that is for DEB? Finally got to my question. BAG!! TIA, d Don Hodges San Antonio, Texas

Re: Netgear FA311/312
If you go to the www.netgear.com and search around a little bit you will find a linux driver for your nic card in .zip form. When you open it you will see a readme on how to compile the driver. I believe that you also need the kernel-headers for the kernel that your using. HTH Don --- Louis Roth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Do u have any info on setting up to use the above > network card.

Re: Computer won't power off
dman, Thanks for this info. I was previously using the potato kernel 2.2.? and did the "apm=on" in lilo.conf and when I gave it a shutdown it shutdown. Then I moved up to hernel 2.4.12 and I had to manually shutdown my laptop, the "apm=on" was still in lilo.conf so I was stumped. As you said inset apm into /etc/modules and it will work that is the step I forgot. Did that and now it works thanks for the information.

apt-get lists
Whenever you do a apt-get update there is a new list generated, I assume, made in the /var/lib/apt/lists folder. After awhile this folder can grow to be kinda large. Would there be a problem deleting some of these old lists? Currently on my laptop there are 35 lists in that folder and I know that there are more then 35 on my desktop. I think that if possible it would be nice to have some sort of script/program that would limit that folder to a reasonable number of lists. Just a idea. Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Re: A package that does not want to die
I would suggest doing a dpkg --list |more and see if the package is listed. If not then you might have come configuration files still on your system that were not removed from your last removal.

riddle me this??
I was looking at updating a Potato 2.2.r3 running kernel 2.4.9 (from Bunks page) to Woody. Following this list I have noticed all of the problems woth x font and the Xserver's. I did a apt-get update pointing to the testing and then did a apt-get -u dist-upgrade and looked at the list of packages to be changed. The following packages were to be removed: This is a partial list, task-x-window-system-core xbase-clients xf86setup xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi xfonts-base xfonts-cjk xfonts-cyrillic xfonts-scalable. The only packages that I see that will replace these are xfonts-pex xfree86-common. From what I see, if I would have continued with the dist-upgrade I would not have any fonts available to me, or does the xfont-pex replace all that is going to be removed? Am i missing something? I always appreciate the knowledge that is passed on. Don __ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo! Personals. http://personals.yahoo.com

Re: video card detection
As with any software sometimes it will not detect all hardware. I know on my Laptop I have the S3 Savage and during initial installation this card was not detected, I had to manually configure it. During that process you will get to a data base of video cards and it should be on that list. You need to know what video card that you have, the vertical and horizonal refresh rates, and the amount of video ram that you have. If you go to the Debain site there is good installation documentation available for your reading.

Re: Network config tool
If memory serves me correctly, during the installation of Potato at the point of inserting/selecting modules, if your nic card is on the list and you select it, when you exit that portation of the install it will ask you if you want to configure your network. Saying yes will start the process and the only question that you need to answer is what is your Hostname? Then it will ask you if you want the program to set up your network automatically, saying yes will do this and if the program is successful it will say congratulations your network is set up. What can be easier than that.

Re: XFree86 problem on Woody
During the install did you notice if xserver-xfree86 was installed? If your unable to do dpkg-configure xserver-xfree86 then xserver-xfree86 did not get installed when you did the upgrade (that was my problem). You can look in /var/cache/apt/archives and see if that package is there, if not do a apt-get install xserver-xfree86 then do the dpkg-configure and see if you get your xfree4.4.? working. --- Rachel Andrew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > >How about X -configure ? > > that selects the wrong video card driver, doesn't > get the mouse working and > comes up with the same font issues that the file I > wrote has. > > I haven't been able to get any of the automatic > configurations to write > anything close to a working X, the XF86Config I am > using is at least > allowing me to launch KDE. > > Is there a way of totally removing XFree86-4.0.1 and > going back to the > version i was using with Potato which I didn't have > any problems with > whatsoever. > > Rachel > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Laptop install, console screen small
You can try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and during that choose 1024x768 as the window size.. I'm guess that you accepted the options that it provided to you when you first did your setup.

Tulip driver unresolved symbols
Hi all I have installed Potato 2.2.r2 on my HP Pavilion N5450 Laptop and this system uses a Accton en2242 nic card that uses the tulip driver. I know that I've seen this discussed on this list but I am unable to find it. I have downloaded the drivers for the card and did a cp pci-scan.o tulip.o lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/net. I then did a depmod -a and got the unresolved symbols. I had Mandrake installed Kerenel 2.4.3 on this system and the nic worked right after installation. I copied the drivers (tulip.o.gz and tulip_cb.o.gz) that it was using but did not do anything with them, I didn't know what to do with them. I have searched the net and from what I have found, I'm suspose to compile the driver, but all the information I see is for the RedHat distro. To do that I understand that I need the kernel-source for my kernel, where can I get the source for 2.2.18pre21? I also did a make xconfig and looked to see if tulip was a option in the nic drivers in the kernel and did not find it for 2.2.18pre21. Any and all help on this is greatly appreciated.

LAPTOPS AND TWO DIFFERENT WORKPLACES (OT)
Hi all, The system administrator at work is a subcontract employee. He is also the administrator at his company. The company that I work for also has employe's from his company working here and they travel back and forth between companies and use their M$ laptops at both sites. Here is the problem.. both sites use M$ and my company has the DHCP set and the other company doesn't, so when these people go to their company they have to go and set the nic card up. He asked me if I knew of a way to do this and I have searched the web and came up dry... I think that a lot of the people that are on this list are also very knowledgable about M$ also. Is there a way to do this with out setting his company up to use DHCP? Thanks, Appreciate all the help that I can pass on. Don __ Do You Yahoo!? NEW from Yahoo!

Re: Tulip driver unresolved symbols (UPDATE)
Well in response to Does mine work the answer is No. I have tried for a few days to get this going and finally figured out that I did not have a eth0 device it was a sit0. I tried and read everything that I could and could not figure out a way to get the eth0. I tried to compile the driver like the instructions told me, but came up with the error that I did not have a modverdion.h. I copied tulp.o and pci-scan.o to the appropiate folder though. Then I did a apt-cache search for pcmcia and found out that I did not have the right kernel and was missing the pcmcia packages. I installed those and still nothing. At this point I was really frustrated and figured I'd go about this from a different perspective. I installed a Distro (Mandrake 8.0) that I knew that the tulip driver worked in and was going to try and load Debian, but leave the pcmcia stuff.. I'm not sure if I can really do that, still investigating. (I saw something to this effect in the last couple of days on the list) I ran across a site today that I think has the answer to How do I get a eth0. I think that if I do a ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 that might do the trick, This is a pure guess though. Have I given up on installing Debian on this Laptop, No, The install went great its the Accton EN2242 nic card thats giving me the problems, but I will get it. Any pointers from this rambling?

I changed my sources.list to unstable and did a apt-get install xine-ui. Works great using the Xv video driver and the oss audio driver. I have watched a few .avi movies with it and full screen is clear as a picture. Just my two cents worth. Don __ Do You Yahoo!? Send your FREE holiday greetings online! http://greetings.yahoo.com
Re: Downloading with Netscape 6 and Mozilla
Theo, This might be a really DUHHH response, but if you have the folder open and minimized, then download something to that folder, did you do a refreash after you opened it from being minimized?

Re: OT: Rant
I will go WAY out on the LIMB here and say, I have a WordPerfect8.tar.bz2 that I will share with anyone that wants it... If that's legal... I believe that I downloaded it from the Peanut Linux web page. I have not installed it on Debian so I can not say that it will work.. My delima is how do I get it to anyone that wants it, its 16.9M. I sit behind a Linksys router to DSL and I have had problems DCC things to people. I do not use ICQ but there is ICQ capabilities in the house. Let me know.

On my Pavilion n5450 in order for me to get it to shutdown with shutdown -h now I had added to lilo.conf append="apm=on" and I also added to /etc/modules 'apm' . That shuts down my system completely.
