Re: Q: multi-cd method.
Actually, you need to insert the second or last CD of your multi-cd archive first if you have more than one cd..

The machine I'm ssh in from works for this on other machines. I've restartd the sshd task. What else do I need to check ? You need to edit two files for X11 forwarding: On the remote machine (the one you are ssh'ing to): /etc/ssh/sshd_config And on the client machine (the one you are sitting at..) /etc/ssh/ssh_config Each of these files gives you a basic configuration to work with, but you do need to switch on X11 forwarding in both configs...

Re: lost my 'c' key in X

I also see it in the logs: (**) Option "XkbLayout" "us" (**) XKB: layout: "us" it's cool to have a workaround, but i think we need to fix the bug at a deeper level. what the heck is going on? and why 'c' and 'e'? sounds like a corruption of the keyboard map files to me. or something like that... A problem sounding suspiciously similar to this afflicts U.K. keyboard users who had specified "uk" as their XkbLayout rather than "gb". The XKB layout names are based on ISO 3166 country codes, which means that the U.K. gets the odd "country" code of "gb" rather than "uk". Does this information help any? I have a slightly different error, but which is in the same vein. All keys work unless I press Caps Lock, then all keys are shifted left. So with Caps Lock on, if I type ls I get ;D. I did not notice this straight away, as pressing shift does not have the same effect. This problems occurs in all X programs I use, but not on the Virtual terminals. A snipped from my XF86Config is as follows: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "uk" Option "XkbVariant""gb" EndSection I have this problem regardless of whether XkbLayout is set to "gb" or "uk".

Re: Question about installing nvidia driver
James,
I have tried the following command suggested by Gary Parker.
# sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4349.run \
--kernel-include-path=/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4/include/ \
--kernel-install-path=/lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/video/
Are you actually running kernel 2.4.18.bf2.4 ?? Try typing in uname -r
at the command line. It must match exactly or the install will fail.
Also, you are using an older version of the installer, 1.0-5336 is the
latest installer available at: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux.html
If you compiled your own kernel, you will need to have the sources
(still) installed in order to compile the nvidia kernel module (unless
you made your own headers package...).
If you are running the testing or unstable debian distributions, there
are several specific debian packages that can replace the Nvidia
installer and IMHO are much easier to use. Do a search for nvidia
('apt-cache search' or www.apt-get.org).
Johnny.

Hi
How did you downloaded the iso image?
What program did you use?
The one that I have used is on winXP is freedownload just google
for it,
its free.

I suspect that the filenames in question contain some national characters and you have an encoding problem. Also, was the CD written in XP? I purchased the cd's mp3's set (the filenames are short) and thru a manufacture. With windows xp I can see all the files on it.

Movies, household network and 54g limits... (maybe...)
Hi, in my flat there are 1 router, 1 range extender, 2 vista, 1 XP and my 2 linux ubuntu (one of which is mail/samba/nfs/etc server, is monitored via mrtg and contains a lot of music/movies). All, wireless. The problem: when I listen to music or watch movies from my laptop (my flatmates idem) the results are not so good... many freezes... The graphs say it is clearly not bandwith fault. Reading around: "It is well known that the medium access control (MAC) layer is the main bottleneck for the IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs." There are scientific publications around but seems the problem is not solved. 1. Do you know something, please? 2. With the new N technology, the problem is solved? [I doubt but I should test...] Thank you so much, Gionni -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Movies, household network and 54g limits... (maybe...)
> It's actually pretty hard to get the full bandwidth that 802.11g promises. Sorry if I cut a bit but your objection is fondamentally this way (possible factors: close wireless networks, 2.4GHz devices, ..., ok, but all linked to your mother reasoning). But I am telling you that if you see mrtg graphs you clearly see that G is not the problem because the bit rate of a movie is Max 2Mbps (when I use my LAN for copying with scp, I can touch 8/9 for a long time without problems). So, maybe, is something different... There is an interesting paper, "Saturation throughput analysis of error-prone 802.11 wireless networks" that explains just like the nature of a wireless lan (many efforts on CMDA...) take you to have more problems when there are more clients... - at least, this is the idea that I put in my mind :) - and in fact (but I have to replicate my tries) to me it would seem that freezes are worse when all my flatmates are using their laptop... For example, Peter, with N, you say is better, but may I ask you the architecture of your network? (fast: only you or...)

Re: PGP with netscape
Not to discourage you from using Netscape for E-mail or anything, but mutt is
the best
(IMHO) for e-mail. It can automatically encrypt and sign messages as well as
extract
public pgp keys sent to you in e-mail messages. That my friend is a mail
client..
Yea, I know I sent this in netscape but I'm in school where they don't have
linux..
Mutt also supports PGP 2.6.3a. The only downfall I see in mutt is that it
attaches
everything so automatic public key decryption in the receiving mail client fail
to
auto-decrypt, so I've been told. It also doesn't automatically decrypt
messages or at
least I haven't found a way to make it do so..

Re: ZIP drive and kernel 2.2?
The only think I can think of is there's another program, more specifically a TSR that's running resident in the background causing modprobe to report with this error. Are you sure that you don't have lpd running in the background and that you have unloaded any other possibly conflicting modules that may take up your IRQ or use the parrallel port? Reboot your computer and check the bios settings for your parallel port's IRQ and memory address. Then modprobe lp and make sure it's displayed as shown in your /proc/interrupts and the other file that's in the /proc directory that shows memory address for devices connected to the system (sorry, I can't tell you exactly which one, I'm in school on a NT box). If everything isn't 'congruent', then you need to check to be sure that no other device is using those resources. Debian Mail wrote: > > Just modprobe ppa and e-mail the output to this list.

Re: Kernel 2.2.x: PPP routing problem?
I had the same problem.. IP masquerade isn't re-reading the firewall rules
after the link goes down. Creating a null /etc/{wherever}ipmasqueradeislocatedinthisdirectory/ppp
file.
touch /etc/ipmasq/ppp .. That should solve your problem.. ;)
If that doesn't work, uninstall ipmasq because you probably don't need
it anyway.
BTW: STOP REINSTALLING.. :)

PPP is compiled into the kernel (of 2.2.9), and I'm using the latest

upgrade
using the unstable area; makes no difference. Re-installed many times.

Once you have installed your system you could run the tcl/tk program to either add/remove packages or to configure existing packages.

Problem: update-menu not working
Hello, I have no entry's in the menu's of fvwm2. I have just installed Debian 1.3.1 which is supposed to update the fvwm menus with all the packages installed on my machine. This has not happened. I searched and read through all the documentation I could find and found the command that is supposed to do this: update-menu Hopever, I have executed this command a number of times and still have my left mouse button menu as and xterm and the exit menu. I checked that the correct format files for the packages are in the stated directories, which they were with no luck. Then through sheer desperation, copied all the package files in the default director into /etc/menu and still I have had no success.

There seems to be a conflict between the .tkdesk files that are create
in your home directory between version 1.01 and 1.04.
So when you update tkdest to version 1.04 it complains about the "geom"
variable.
All I have done to fix this problem is rename my original .tkdesk to
something like Old.tkdesk and then run tkdesk (1.04) again and it works
fine, installing a newer .tkdesk directory in my home directory.
Then all you have to do is add any changes that you made to the files in
the origninal .tkdesk directory and you are back in buisness.
I do like the updated version of tkdesk, looks much sexyer. well the
app bar does anyway..
Hope this helps.

mtools problem
Hello, After upgrading to Debian 1.3.1, I am now having a problem using some of the mtools operations. The command 'mdir' works but 'mcopy a:' and 'mdel a:' produce the following error: This command cannot operate on "." or ".."

start-stop demon problems
Hello, I have a problem with the start-stop demon at bootup. Most demons start ok except the following: at cron sysklog xinet I know they haven't started as the message at boot up complains: No such file or Directory but neglects to tell me which file or directory it is looking for. All the packages have status 'install ok installed'. I tried to manually run these deamons and managed to get the 'atd' going, but the rest all churned out the above error message.

ethernet card installation
Hi, I am new to Linux, and have recently installed Debian. In my attempts to get connected to my school's ethernet, I have found that there is no /dev/eth*'s on my system. I have one network card, a Netgear FA310TX. I found this card in a hardware list with the word "Tulip" in parentheses next to it, so following the Ethernet HOWTO's instructions on how to use ethernet drivers as modules I tried to install the card by adding an alias to my aliases file in /etc/modutils. The line I added was "alias eth0 tulip". This didn't seem to have any effect. There was no /dev/eth*'s after I rebooted. If someone could tell me what I need to do to get Debian to recognize my card, and then how to set up DHCP, I would be extremely grateful. -JB __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I was able to modprobe many of the modules in my /lib/modules//net directory successfully. I'm clueless as to telling if this allowed the detection of my NIC. I didn't see /dev/eth0 appear, and when I ran "modprobe --showconfig", one of the lines said "alias eth0 off". That line is nowhere in my modules.conf, so I don't know where that's coming from. Would I even see a /dev/eth0 appear after modprobe'ing the correct driver? I'm not sure what I'm looking for. As far as updating the kernel goes, does the 2.4.2 kernel work ok with the potato dist? I'm currently running 2.2.18pre21. Thanks for your help so far! -JB __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Auctions - Buy the things you want at great prices! http://auctions.yahoo.com/
alien/perl
I was trying to install alien in order to convert some rpm's to deb's, so I downloaded the latest version of alien in deb format. I tried to dpkg --install it, but it balked at my not having the package "perl" installed on my system. I have perl-5.005, perl-5.005-base, perl-5.005-doc, perl-5.005-suid, and perl-base installed. I then went to dselect to try to find a package called "perl", which there is, but it conflicts with perl-5.005-base. A lot of other packages depend on the perl-5.005 packages, so installing the plain 'perl' package would break them. I'm new to debian/linux, so I don't want to mess things up by removing perl-5.005, but I want to get alien installed. Any solutions/suggestions? Also, I tried to dpkg --install perl-5.6.0-20_i386.deb from the unstable section, and again the problem of many of my packages depending on the perl-5.005 packages came up. -JB __ Do You Yahoo!?

unresolved symbols in 3dfx.o
I've been attempting to prepare my machine to play some quake, but I can't get the 3dfx.o module to work. I downloaded the device3dfx source using apt-get, ran the buildpkg script, and then installed the .deb created. As the deb is trying to update-modules, I see a message saying "Unresolved symbols in lib/.../3dfx.o". When I depmod -e this (I've been hitting the man pages...), the two symbols it mentions are "register_chrdev_Rbbdcb79f" and "printk_R1b7d4074". In the the archives someone mentioned running nm 3dfx.o | grep printk, and then grep printk /proc/ksyms to see if the kernel headers that were used match. Mine don't. I'm not sure how to fix that, because my kernel source is in /usr/src/linux (actually kernel-source-2.2.18pre21, but it's symlinked) where the programs should be able to find the right files. I just recently recompiled my kernel because the makefile wouldn't run without the kernel having been configured and installed, so I dont' think restoring my old kernel would help. Also, none of the modules made after "make modules; make install" worked -- they all had unresolved symbols. I restored the old modules, and they're working fine with my new kernel. So I guess it boils down to a) why can't I compile a working 3dfx.o, and b) why aren't modules made based on my kernel src (retrieved using dselect) working either? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry I'm so verbose, but I work tech support and know how important every little thing can be...

ALSA with vi82xx loading and static problems
Hi,
A while back, I had sound working with kernel 2.6.8. But I had to switch
to a 2.4 kernel for a while and sound broke. It continues to be broken
after switching back to 2.6.x. (I never deleted any of the kernels, just
booting different images through LILO). I specifically want to use
2.6.6 now...
First, dmesg shows a LOT of lines looking like:
snd_{pcm|seq_device|rawmidi|via82xx|...}: Unknown symbol snd_*
(i.e. lots of modules, with lots of unknown symbols)
After booting up, I tried manually running "modprobe snd", but I'd get
$ modprobe snd
FATAL: Error inserting snd (/lib/modules/2.6.6/kernel/sound/core/snd.ko):
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
But if I goto the modules dir, and manually run "insmod snd.ko", the
modules load... So why doesnt it load normally on startup or the first
time I run modprobe?
After loading, I can run alsaconf/alsactl without errors. KDE/arts also
stops reporting errors. But the only thing coming out of the speakers
is static.
Here is my lsmod and lspci output if it helps:
$ lsmod | grep snd
snd_via82xx22144 0
snd_pcm84360 1 snd_via82xx
snd_ac97_codec 61444 1 snd_via82xx
snd_mpu401_uart 6144 1 snd_via82xx
snd_rawmidi20128 1 snd_mpu401_uart

snd_via82xx,snd_pcm,snd_ac97_codec,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device
soundcore 7392 1 snd
snd_page_alloc 8964 2 snd_via82xx,snd_pcm
$ lspci -v
:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

Subsystem: TWINHEAD INTERNATIONAL Corp: Unknown device 0408
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 10
I/O ports at dc00 [size=256]
Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2
Any help with either/both problems is appreciated. Also, only the second
problem (static) shows up when using the kernel 2.6.8, but I still need to
figure out the module loading problem in 2.6.6.
Thanks,

I thought it was something like /dev/scd0, >but I tried several /dev/sd* and scd* files, but none of them worked. >(unless there's one that I'm missing and not trying) I can't really unscrable your question (I'm probably too unconcentrated right now). However, I have a vague idea that you are asking "How do I mount an IDE CD drive that has been set under ide-scsi administration?" Let us take my own system as an example: Before setting up ide-scsi I have one IDE CD-RW. It is the slave on the primary IDE controller. Its device is named /dev/hdb It also has a symbolic link named /dev/cdrom which, in this case, points to /dev/hdb Now I want to be able to both burn CDs with this drive AND I want to be able to mount it as an ordinary CD drive. I do this: I configure the kernel to use sg (generic scsi) and ide-scsi. On my system they are loadable modules. Then I tell LILO to tell the kernel to treat my CD drive as a scsi device by using the ide-scsi driver. I do that in /etc/lilo.conf where I put this in the append line: append="hdb=ide-scsi" I then run /sbin/lilo to make the changes take effect upon the next reboot. I then reboot. Now my CD drive is no longer /dev/hdb. It has become /dev/scd0. However, my /dev/cdrom still points to /dev/hdb. Trying to mount my CD drive now will fail. I must now make /dev/cdrom point to /dev/scd0 I achieve that like this: rm /dev/cdrom ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom I.e. first I remove the old symlink since it is no longer any good. Then I make a new symlik that point to the correct device. For you I my first guess would be that your CD drives must be /dev/scd Have you tried mounting the devices manually one by one? This is the tedious way to find your devices, but it should be foolproof. What does cdrecord -scanbus report? (I haven't got it within reach right this minute) I would think there would be some tools that could scan the virtual scsi bus and list devices. I never needed one, so I can't help you there. I hope this helps you. Best regards Johnny :o)
Create install-CD from /var/cache/apt?
Hi, how do I create a usable installation CD with downloaded packages that are currently in /var/cache/apt? I am running a standard Debian 2.2r3. I just installed KDE 2.1.1 using dselect to fetch and install packages from the net. I need to install this standard setup on other Debian 2.2r3 computers, and I don't want to spend the hours downloading the same packages every time. In some cases there will be no Internet connection to do that (or it will be unacceptably slow). So I would like to produce an installation CD with the packages in my cache. I would like to be able to simply add that CD to the sources.list as any other source, so I can use dselect to install. I have tried looking at apt-move, but I do not comprehend its usage. I have tried searching the lists for similar questions but I couldn't find any. Can anyone help me? Best regards Johnny :o)
Re: Create install-CD from /var/cache/apt?
Sorry I have taken a while to respond. Unfortunately I will be away from my Debian boxes until monday, so I can't start investigating your suggestions before then. Meanwhile perhaps we can come a little further with some questions. It seems rsync could be needed for your solution? (Sorry, I'm not very technically intelligent.) One thought I had was: would it work simply copying the /var/cache/apt tree to a CD, mount that CD on /var/cache/apt, and get dselect to use the contents on the CD that way? Would that require the same Internet source in sources.list that I used on the first computer to fetch and install the first time? I.e. would an Internet connection be needed on subsequent installs on the other computers? One problem I thought of with installing from a "real" installation CD would be that the packages would be cached on the new computer also. In my case I can not be sure that there will be enough space on the harddisc for that. Hence the above idea. Hope this sets some things in motion at your end. Best regards Johnny :o)
