dhcp problem

1999-06-21 Thread sam

Hi,

  I just can not use DHCP on my Linux box.
My kernel is 2.2.9

I get the following error:
dhcpcd[1158]: ioctl SIOCSIFBRDADDR (ifConfig): Cannot assign requested
address

since it was giving me this, I tried option -r, does not work either...

As an example, strace dhcpcd -r -d gives me this:
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3
ioctl(3, SIOCGIFHWADDR, 0xbcdc) = 0
ioctl(3, SIOCSIFADDR, 0xbcdc)   = 0
ioctl(3, SIOCSIFBRDADDR, 0xbcdc)= -1 EADDRNOTAVAIL (Cannot
assign
requested address)
write(2, "ioctl SIOCSIFBRDADDR (ifConfig):"..., 65ioctl SIOCSIFBRDADDR
(ifConfig): Cannot assign requested address
) = 65

BTW, my network card works fine, I can do networking with a computer on
the
same hub if I set the IP address by hand using ifconfig ... Bu it put
the
mess on the rest of the network sometimes since it can bring ip
conflicts,
and other computers can not access mine.

I tried the dhcp package from slink, and then from potato
The last package I tested is dhcpcd 1.3.17pl2-1 (potato)

I tried both packages (slink,potato), with or without option -r on
kernel
2.0.36 and 2.2.9.


I read the DHCPD mini-HOWTO and had a look to /usr/doc/dhcpcd, ...
nothing helped 

I did a 'man ioctl_list' to see if I could get a clue (what is
SIOCSIFBRDADDR about ?), and I did not.

So, I am kind of desperate... Can some one help me please ? I really
need
to use the network, and for the moment, I have to switch back to windoze
to do so.

Please, CC me in the answer, since I am not on this list.

Cheers,


vdb

Netscape always does weird crap like that. Usually, if I swith virtual
desktops it works again. Give it a try. Other than that all u can do is
kill netscape and run it again. Stomix's ftp (ftp.stormix.com) had 4.6 but
its not any more stable than previous versions.

Also, there are a lot of window managers that use a lot less resources
than KDE. I use WindowMaker. Check freshmeat for other choices, there are
a lot out there.

If you use KDE, you always have the option of using it's file manager

How do you allow FTP clients, when uploading files, to overwrite same

I understand that some FTP servers have the   /etc/ftpaccess, which I

Backspace acts like delete in X

I've heard that this was a commom Debian problem but I"ve never
experienced it before. When in X my backspace key deletes to the right of
the cursor instead of the left. In console or in an xterm it's normal. I
can't seem to find anything to edit in /etc/X11/XF86Config to change
this. Any ideas (don't tell me to run xf86config again I'd rather just
know where the setting it)

Go to this site and download the source for the sblive kernel module
(emu10k1)  http://opensource.creative.com/

Once that is compiled, cp it to /lib/modules/kernelversion#here/misc/

Then:
insmod soundcore
insmod emu10k1

If that doesnt work substitute modprobe where the insmod's are.

You didn't compile sound support into the kernel did you? Also, this
kernel doesn't work if you are using a kernel with SMP enabled. For the
driver to work sound support has to be compiled as a module
(soudcore.o) and SMP has to be disabled.

mouse problems after switching to Woody

2002-02-27 Thread sam

Rather than go into a lot of detail on my problems, I would prefer to get
a reliable reference to a comprehensive discussion about the installation
and trouble shooting of mice.  I am currently using Woody (Debian 3.0), a
ps/2 modem, AMD 500 Mhz cpu -- in other words, nothing very unusual or
fancy. 


If no good reference exists, can some computer science or engineering
instructor suggest this topic to one of their more adventurous students as
a term project, or even as a Masters thesis.  By the way, I don't
understand why many exchanges on the Debian lists refer to unpredictable
mouse problems from unknown sources:  Are mice and their software really
stochastic machines, or are those people merely as ignorant as I am
(which is very)?

Thanks for any help.

What do folks use to mirror repositories

2022-04-15 Thread Sam
That's pretty much it. I want to mirror all my updates to a single server on  
my LAN and have everything on my LAN apt update from it. This seems more  
efficient than having everyone download their own copies.


Google told me to use apt-mirror. My updates repository turned out to have  
some metadata filename with an @ in it, apt-mirror refuses to do anything  
with this state of affairs. I learned (after poking apt-mirror's page( that  
this bug was two years old, but the project is not maintained any more.  
Digging through aptly-mirror's bug tracker I caught a reference to aptly.


I got aptly to work, after applying a reasonable amount of elbow grease. The  
only unsolvable problem was that after taking a few seconds to download a  
handful of updates it takes aptly well over an hour to republish the local  
repository snapshot, to incorporate those updates. The full repository adds  
up to about 18000 packages, and looks like aptly recompresses each one of  
them, every time. I don't know why but that's what it does. I see it  
launching xz over and over again, while aptly keeps me in the loop of how  
many of those 18000 packages are left to process.


Although I don't need to worry about wearing any SSDs (since it's spinning  
rust), this is still somewhat suboptimal. So, that brings me to: what do  
folks use to mirror repositories?

Understanding the two-year release cycle as a desktop user (and a Debian newcomer)

2020-02-25 Thread Sam
Hello,

I would like to hear opinions about the release cycle of the Stable Debian 
releases for a Desktop user. 

I love the Debian ideals and perks (its social contract, independence from big 
companies...) and understand to a certain extent the fundamentals on why 
keeping "old-ish" versions of packages with backports and the Shiny new stuff 
syndrome, but I fail to see how Debian can make a useful desktop distribution 
with the current release cycle.

For example: My main PC is an already two years old ryzen-based system and a 
Vega graphics card from 2017, and the kernel used in Stable has regressions 
which cause complete, unrecoverable system hangups on Vega cards which were 
not alleviated until kernel 5.3 onwards (and they still keep happening, though 
rarely!). This means that to ensure stability on a Debian installation I would 
need a backported kernel, or use Debian Testing or Sid, which IMO collides 
with the point of a Stable release.

I also see everyday many announcements about performance (GNOME) and usability 
(KDE Plasma) improvements which are not exactly new features. This is 
obviously happening on more recent releases, which Debian may not see (unless 
these changes are also backported, which I would find extremely cumbersome?) 
until approximately two years have passed since that.

All this makes me think that while Debian is a fantastic distribution, its 
Desktop, common user-facing side of things would greatly benefit from 
something like a separate yearly Stable release.

Thanks,
Sam






Re: Re: Understanding the two-year release cycle as a desktop user (and a Debian newcomer)

2020-02-25 Thread Sam
Thanks for your points of view! I agree that Stable comes at a cost, and of 
course if I ever were to set up a server Debian would probably be my choice.

Regarding derivatives, I know about Ubuntu, Mint, etc., but I don't exactly 
like distributions tied to or ultimately dependant on commercial entities (I 
want a change of air after going through Ubuntu, openSUSE...)

I have also seen independent Debian derivatives (MX Linux comes to mind), but 
they either used backports or the Testing distribution.

I would happily consider using Debian Testing for example, but wherever I see 
someone asking about it I always find someone discouraging from using it due 
to the possibility of having broken or unsecure packages for a long time due 
to it being automated. Is it actually usable for a Workstation? The same would 
apply to Sid, I can no longer allow myself to fix big breakages after broken 
updates (I don't know if that really happens often in Sid)

Thanks,
Sam




Re: Re: Re: Understanding the two-year release cycle as a desktop user (and a Debian newcomer)

2020-02-25 Thread Sam
Thank you very much for the tips! 
I will give Testing a spin and will definitely take another look at the Debian 
derivatives. You also made me admire the Debian community, so that's a big 
plus on the reasons-why-I-definitely-need-to-switch-to-Debian list :)

Thank you,
Sam




Re: How Do I Keep Track OF the Files Being Downloaded From My Apache?

2007-07-08 Thread Sam

Hi,

I have a little perl script I made a while ago, takes the path of your
logfile and, optionally an output file to write to; as command line
arguments. Anyway, thought you might like to tinker with it, as you might be
able to alter it for your specific needs.



#!/usr/bin/perl -w


#$LOGFILE = "/var/log/apache2/access.log";  #uncomment this line is you have
standard apache2 logging
open(LOGFILE, '<', $ARGV[0]) or die("Could not open log file.");
open(OUT, '>', $ARGV[1]) or die "Error: $!\n";
foreach $line () {
   $w = "(.+?)";
   $line =~ m/^$w $w $w \[$w:$w $w\] "$w $w $w" $w $w (.+)/;


   $site = $1;
   $logName  = $2;
   $fullName = $3;
   $date = $4;
   $time = $5;
   $gmt  = $6;
   $req  = $7;
   $file = $8;
   $proto= $9;
   $status   = $10;
   $length   = $11;
   $ident = $12;

   %log =
("ip","$site","lname","$logName","name","$fullName","date","$date","time","$time","gmt","$gmt","request","$req","file","$file","prototype","$proto","status","$status","length","$length","ident",

"$ident");

   print "\n$log{ip} , $log{date} , $log{time} , $log{request} ,
$log{file} \n\n $log{ident}\n";
   print OUT "$log{ip}\n"; # this is where it decides what to print to
the optional logfile, you may want
# to add $log{request} to show
what they downloaded.
}
close(LOGFILE);
close(OUT);

lol, very painfully written, as you can see.. but it works!

That should work fine till a log rotate happens and you download counts
and other data will reinitialize. You will need some cache mechanism or
a temporary file to append your results and use that for HTML generation.

Take a look at awstats and Analog Stats while you are exploring Webalizer.

Hard disk dying?

2007-08-06 Thread Sam
Hi All,
I noticed this in dmesg the other day

hda: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
ide: failed opcode was: 0xb0

and i have started to get corrupted data off of it. I assume it is dying,
but thought to ask, as its rather new (*Power On Hours* 827) its a maxtor
160gb.

Yeah it is backed up, I just happen to need to drive to expand my

No errors tho, in both the short and extended tests.

Problems with beryl after dist-upgrade

Hi all,

I don''t have webmin open on the net, so I'm not so concerned with security.
I suggest you consider your own needs relative to the value of your assets,
the openness of the system, etc. Sounds like you'll be fine, as long as you
keep it LAN side.

Installing a promise ata 66 pci ide card

2007-11-01 Thread Sam
Hi all and thanks in advance,

I have reached a storage conundrum, i have a dual p3 server 1gbit ram
running off a 9 gig scsi as well as 4 ide hdd's totalling 1.5Terabytes. The
problem is: I cannot afford scsi drives and i have used up all 4 ide slots.
I am trying to plan for expansion, I happen to have a promise ultra ata 66
pci card with two ide slots. My question being what is necessary to install
this promise card? I tried googling but there was nothing but "debian not
recognizing hard disks, using promise card" etc, nothing about installing
the card on a boxen that already has debian on it.

As a side note, if anyone has any other suggestions for expansion, feel free
to field them, as I am not set in my ways ;)

Thanks, Sam

Re: Why ext3 doesn't need defragmentation ?

2007-11-17 Thread Sam
Hi Kamaraju,

I am also not an expert in filesystems, however, I do know that the new
native linux fs ext3 has what is called "journaling". Linux keeps track of
where everything goes, so it doesnt get disorganized. Once in a while you
could run fsck if your really concerned about it.

2011-12-08 Thread Sam
yet without erasing the source code or lying about how it works either,
perhaps the software bits are the key to not cash but to make mroe physical
goods via cnc...

yet the point, is that the web site with the gnu/debian is not very user
friendly, nor specific in intent...

how about a nice little 'meta app p2p' client, like an app store, with some
'packages' for jobs like farmer, or assault cuber ;p, along with solid
network p2p options to share the bits and the information, and perahps
coordinate the physical goods there too, for we can't really look around
here  ?


why doesn't google maps zoom in further or have infared or the other color
direction ?



and why are the games all so similar, battlefield 3 like 2 like 42,

with more cheaters too



option b , perhaps, is the distro cds, that boot and run ez mode and do
'something useful' even with bad hardware, maybe on a car too, or in cnc,


and the open source hardware? with the woven nanowires ?




you build it with 3d printing and cnc, both blocked by the copyright on
physical shapes, like gears from the watermill that spun the great clutch

then it comes off the line in a ring

I had a similar problem with my CD-ROM. What I did was make a one-line
executable in /etc/init.d:

/sbin/hdparm -d0 /dev/hdc

When my system boots up, it disables hdparm on hdc which is my cd-rom.

I tend to agree. Even getting something to display correctly on
different versions of the same browser and browsers which are said to be

Switching to console mode from X problem almost solved

2003-03-02 Thread Sam Yuval



Several weeks ago I sent an email concerning my 
inability to switch from X windows to the virtual console using Ctrl+Alt+F1. I 
own a Viewsonic P810 21" monitor and an S3 Trio 2D/4X video adapter. It appears 
that the problem is cause the use of the wrong X server: when I started using 
xserver-svga instead of xserver-xfree86, the problem disappeared. I hope this is 
a helpful hint for other users who experienced the same problem I 
did.
    There is however, one 
unexplained problem: I have 8 MB of RAM on the adapter (according to Windows 
98), but Linux-based probing software can only detect 4 Mb. Furthermore, when I 
set up X to use all 8192 Kb of ram on the card (using dpkg-reconfigure 
xserver-svga), my sprite turns into a usually white square. When I tell X to use 
only 4096 Kb of ram, the problem is solved, but the card cannot handle high 
refresh rates. Any ideas?


re: The LAN interface on my server stops being able to seethe LAN intermittantly.

2003-10-29 Thread Sam Burney
I am having a network issue with my Debian server which I've never seen 
with any other Distro I've tried to use as my server box.  I'd really 
like to get it fixed because Debian is by FAR the best for this application.

What happens is that the gateway Intermittantly (Randomly, but at least
once every hour or so) stops being able to send data to local machines
(the ones its sharing Internet to).
Basically the client machines can ping the server itself fine, but if 
they try to ping anything OUTSIDE the network (on the Internet) they get:

   
   C:\> ping 192.231.203.132
   Pinging 192.231.203.132 with 32 bytes of data:

   Reply from 192.168.1.1 : Destination net unreachable.
   Reply from 192.168.1.1 : Destination net unreachable.
   Reply from 192.168.1.1 : Destination net unreachable.
   Reply from 192.168.1.1 : Destination net unreachable.



Also during this time if I try to ping FROM the server to the clients it
just gets no response.
I've tried now with three different LAN cards (Different brands and
chipsets) and it happens with all of them. The problem happens every
couple of hours and isnt affecting the connection to the Internet (the
server can ping stuff on the Internet via its PPPoE connection with no
problems whatsoever).  I've also tried upgrading to the latest kernel
version and it seemed to fix it for 24hours, but on reboot its started
again.
I'll try to provide ANY other info possible if more is needed.

I really hope I can get this issue sorted soon

Thanks,

Sam.

Upgrade - I'm currently running linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre14 under 2.6.0-test8
without any problems, and have been for some 24 days or so.  I believe work on
2.5/2.6 kernels didn't really start in earnest in the wlan-ng project until
sometime after 0.1.16.

Good way to run Windows apps on Debian 3.0?

2003-01-27 Thread Sam Rosenfeld
Is Wine a decent choice for executing scientific and tax-assistance
windows application programs on Debian 3.0?  If so,  how does the
winapp recognize ext2fs?  I've read the relevant docs that come with
Wine, but they are a bit ambiguous for my purposes.  (I would prefer to
run Windows applications within Linux rather than installing Windows
and shifting between the OSs.)

Any help with counsel or references will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

sam

I have a related problem which I have sidestepped by using "xdm"
instead of "startx".   Although I have loaded Gnome, I rarely use it
explicitly (don't particularly like KDE -- in fact, the same goes for Gnome). 
But I would like to return to some form of "startx". 

On trying to initiate X by "startx" under root, the following error messages 
appear:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
xinit: unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3) server error

Thanks for any help.

.efx to Gimp generated file

2003-01-31 Thread Sam Rosenfeld
Efax (apparently not related to Unix Efax, which is strange) is a fax
application that runs on MSWindows (but not Unix) and converts the
common fax format to their (probably proprietary) format, xxx.efx.  Is
there any reasonable way to convert an .efx file to a Unix-readable
format?  To my knowledge, no source code is available, and, when I
investigated getting a copy of their code for this limited purpose they
were not interested.

netdev watchdog eth0 transmit timed out

g'day all,

i've just set up a debian box for use as a server, using woody.
everything has gone well apart from this message which keeps coming
through every now and then:

netdev watchdog eth0 transmit timed out

i used the 2.4 kernel which came with the disks - 2.4.18-bf2.4. the
network cards on the box both use the rtl8139 module.

i'm about to put the box on the net to test it but wanted to find out
the cause of the messages before i do so.

any help would be appreciated.

Following Alvin Oga's advice, I got a completely different box and still 
have the same problem with the RealTek-based cards. I even compiled a new 
kernel from the 2.4.19 source and installed it but I keep getting the same message:

netdev watchdog eth0 transmit timed out

On my existing server, the same card has been running without any problem
since late 2000. The kernel is 2.2.20. 

Any hints to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

i mean what would you use to set up the connection - like you use
ppoeconf to set up a link when you're using an ethernet dsl modem?

Infrastructure? Ain't no such thing Down Under, mate.
The provider, no matter who, tries to put you through the wringer by over-charging 
for a modem and line splitter so if you've got any sense you buy your own and 
just pay for enabling your phone line. 
I bought an ethernet modem to $A150 - my ISP was offering this for $A225. 
I bought a splitter for $A10 - the ISP was offering it for $A15. My own connection 
was set up using ppoeconf. I'm trying to set up for a friend who has bought a D-Link
DSL-200 USB modem which he was told would work under Linux - hence my
queries.

DNS BIND 9.2.1 enabling dynamic updates

2003-09-17 Thread Sam Warren
I think I found what my problem was. Somehow I think DNS installed without
getting two required libraries. I decided to try updating to 9.2.2 and it
upgraded 1 package and installed 2 new packages. I think these new ones
should have already been there. Anyway, after the upgrade to 9.2.2 and
regenerating the name.conf file, the problem is no longer occurring. Thanks!

LPRng

2003-09-29 Thread Sam Warren
I have Debian running on my s/390. I have LPRng serving printers to a
variety of different clients. My mainframe prints lpd to the server, my
windows NT/95/98 clients print samba to the server, and my 2000/XP clients
print lpd. I started out with a few printers as a test and now I am adding
printers. In the end, we will have somewhere in the neighborhood of 160
printers on this server. I want to do some performance and statistic
tracking, i.e. number of print jobs total and possibly broken down by
printer, memory usage, processor usage, retries, etc. Does anyone know if
there is a way to do that in LPRng? Or is there an add-on for doing that?
Thanks!

Try updating any other distribution (using the tools they supply)
and then try apt-get. You won't ask these questions again.

There's a product called Samsung Contact which is the former HP Open
Mail. It's free for up to five mailboxes - anything over that has to be
paid for.

He sent me a Samsung Contact evaluation CD plus a Solutions CD which

You can use signify for this. Install it and then create a .signify file
in your home directory thus (this is the simplest form of this file -
lots of others on this list will be able to offer much more complex
examples):

% {
Name
Tag line
% |
Name
second tag line
% |
Name
Third tag line
% }

Then to your .muttrc add this line:

set signature = signify|

That's all you need to do.

Fetchmail doesn't fetch

2002-12-09 Thread Sam Rosenfeld
My command of "fetchmail" yields an index of messages which hangs and
then after it times out (300 sec), gives the reason for the error as
"7". ?The manpage says this condition (fetchmail timing out) can occur
"while waiting for the server."

I am using linux 2.2.20, debian woody, exim, and mutt -- service by
dialup to ISP. The mail service worked find until I started playing
around with some not-very-esoteric aspects of the software.
(Unfortunately, I do not remember all that I did, except that I did make
some changes as root (what hubris!).

I'd appreciate any help that can get me and my mail together again. ?(I

Some extracts from http://web.cuug.ab.ca/~leblancj/nt_to_unix.html may
be pertinent here:

Engineers and developers recruited from Digital Equipment Corporation
(DEC) brought excellent VMS-based expertise into the Microsoft fold.
Dave Cutler, considered the "father" of NT and perhaps the key developer
of DEC's VMS OS, had been working at DEC on a new OS, code-named "Mica",
meant to be a successor to VMS. DEC's highest management were troubled
that Cutler was approaching the design from a hardware platform-neutral
operating stance. Central to the Mica design was the concept of the
"Hardware Abstraction Layer" (HAL) that offered a uniform software
platform regardless of the underlying computer machinery. In retrospect,
and somewhat ironically, HAL was a foreshadowing of Sun's Java platform,
which has as its main goal the equal functioning across disparate
hardware architectures and which Microsoft has fought an ongoing crusade
against. Doubly ironically, in a feat of twisted logic, Microsoft has
subsequently cloned Java into their own "C#" platform (a crippled
Java-clone running only on Microsoft Windows). 

DEC executives, worrying that their proprietary hardware-derived revenue
would suffer as Mica was potentially adapted by non-DEC hardware
vendors, terminated the Mica project. Cutler, now adrift, was quickly
integrated into Microsoft and began work on the Windows NT project in
1988. Amid suspicions of intellectual property theft, DEC eventually
sued Microsoft, citing that Cutler and his Mica team had actually
continued the same project within Microsoft, culminating in the birth of
the Windows NT OS. After Microsoft settled the case with DEC for $150
million, inside sources alleged that large quantities of NT's code (and
even most of the programmer's comments) were identical to Mica's.

I have been running a Debian workstation on a LAN (server hosts a web
site and also acts as a mail server) from August 2000. There are two 
Windows boxes on the LAN. No viruses at all - the server runs Debian and
exim's system filter has caught them all. The two Windows boxes have 
anti-virus software installed but nothing has ever got through the Debian 
server - yet.

Getting Gnome to run on testing

2003-06-10 Thread Sam Varghese

How does one get Gnome 2.2 to run on testing with its default window
manager? I've done the necessary downloads (at least I believe so) 
but when I add the gnome-session option in my .xsession file and run 
startx I get Gnome running with blackbox.

Thanks for that. The Sawfish wm wasn't installed and once I apt-getted
it, Gnome works fine.

Updating to new kernel from 2.4.18-bf2.4

2003-06-11 Thread Sam Varghese
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

This is one of the doh! type questions but please bear with me.
I have a box running Woody with the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel. After the
advisory yesterday, I downloaded the recommended kernel-image.

Then I realised that I can't use this because it would not have the
specific modules I need compiled in.

The only source I can find in the cache for my Woody box is 2.4.18 which
is source for the kernel currently being used on that box. 

Can I use either the 2.4.19 source or the 2.4.20 source instead (both of
which are available in testing) and do a recompile? Or will these not work 
properly with Woody?

I understand that they have shifted providers and are having some
problems with the new provider. There were three messages from the list
admin over the last two days explaining the problems in detail.
