proftpd can't determine IP adress
Hi list, the professional ftp server isn't working since some days. The demon exits with the following error message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/init.d/proftpd start Starting professional ftp daemon: hugo.paed.uni-muenchen.de - Fatal: unable to determine IP address of 'hugo.paed.uni-muenchen.de'. I've got no idea why, it runs for several month before. The problem occurs after I rearranged my hard disk partitions. The copmputer is running the testing distribution and has a permanent IP adress, all other network stuff run without problems. Thanks for any hints, Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Postscript level 3 with dvips
Hi List, how can I create a postscript level 3 file from a dvi file? I use the tetex 1.0.2 distribution and it seems that dvips produce only Postscript level 2 files. Thanks, Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hallo!
I'm a new Linux user, so I've got some unsolved
Problems.
1. First, the Linux Loader LILO doesn't work correctly.
Win95 and Debian 1.3 run on my box, so if Win95 runs
as default, Linux won't boot, if Linux runs as default,
I'm unable to boot Win95. Here are some system
informations:
Harddisk: Quantum Fireball 2.10 GB

No ramdisk support
LILO configuration file:

2. I've installed XEmacs. The keys "Backspace" and "Delete" work both as
"Backspace".
I'd like it, that "Delete" works as "Control-D" (^D).
I've tried this in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, but it doesn't help:
xmodmap -e "keycode 22=Backspace"
3. I don't like it to shutdown the computer. So if I don't work, I shutdown
to the
xdm-login and switch off the monitor. But if I want to login after some
time, the
xdm-login is shifted up and after login the screen presents a much wider
display,
so I have to adjust the monitor again.
My monitor is a new Yakumo Modell.
Default resolution is "1158x864".
Maybe it helps to print some parts of the /etc/X11/XF86Config file:

Maybe OT: Debain and Real Time Kernel
Dear List! Maybe this is OT. I wanted to install a KU Real Time (KURT, http://www.ittc.ukans.edu/kurt/) kernel on a SuSE 6.4 system without succes. My question is if anyone of you have got some experiences with installing a realtime kernel on a debian system, maybe a KURT system, which is available for the 2.2.5, 2.2.9 and 2.2.13 kernels. Thanks, Sven
linking x11 programme failed
Dear all, I´ve succesfully installed Potato last week. It´s a real great release! I´ve got some trouble to compile a programm which needs the X11 lib. The linker returned, that there is no such a library: ld: can´t find -lX11 Is this the wrong option or is there a package missing? Thanks, Sven

XFree 4.0.1 and xdm
Hi all, I´ve succesfully installed Woody and XFree 4.0.1-8 last weekend. Only xdm shows a strange behavior. It starts nearly one minute after the system has bootet. It´s possiblke to login to a console, and suddenly xdm awakes. Any ideas? Regards, Sven

Hi all, I´ve got trouble to config my ps/2 two button mouse (Compaq) with X4. The "normal" ps/2 config does not work (although under X3...). Are there a tool what automatically detects the mouse and -protocol? Thanks, Sven

Sorry, but because this box is in our lab and many non-firm Unix users have to use it (under X), it´s difficult to explain why a new system isn´t able to boot into its graphical UI. Thanks, Sven
reiserfs support
Hallo, does anybody know if the ReiserFs can be installed during the installation procedure of Debian 2.2? Or must the ext2 replaced after the installation? Happy easter, Sven
Documentation for the Xlib
Dear List, I want to port some old DOS-programs to Linux. The programs produce simple graphics like filled circles, moving rectangles etc. I´ve take a look in the xscreensaver sources, but I would find it very helpful, if there´s an overview about the xlib-functions. Is there any documentation about this? Thanks & bye Sven

Invalid boot signature
Hi all, today I've deleted all Windows/DOS stuff on one of our Debian (Potato) Boxes. Then I rearranged the hard disk. I know looks like: size in MB hda1BootPrimary Linux ext2 789.63 hda5Logical Linux 2097.45 hda6Logical Linux 2097.45 hda7Logical Linux ext2 16.46 hda8Logical Linux swap 131.61 hda9Logical Linux 5124.35 When I run lilo, I got this error message: $:/sbin/lilo Added j Added n Added r * Fatal: First sector of /dev/hda1 doesn't have a valid boot signature What does this means? There are no problems while booting, the system runs fine. But I can't reconfigure lilo. Thanks, Sven

This overwrites lilo in mbr and you can boot windows. After that, you can only boot Debian with a boot floppy or rescue disk, so make sure you have one and it works. By, Sven

Mounting vfat filesystem via NFS
Hi all, maybe this is not Debian specific and so OT. I want to mount read/write (on my Debian Potato box) a vfat-Filesystem via NFS from a SUSE-Linux Box. Mounting is ok (via mount ~/labor), but the owner and group of the mounted directories and files is root.root, so I haven't any write permissions. The vfat filesystem on the suse box is mounted at boot time, I think that might be the problem. But if this is the point, how can I export a filesystem that isn't already mounted? Here are the configuration: /etc/fstab on my deb box: # mount NFS IP_ADRESS:/windows/D /home/sfg/labor nfs noauto,rw,user0 0 On the suse box: /etc/fstab: /dev/hda5 /windows/Dvfatuser,rw 0 0 and /etc/exports: /windows/D IP_ADRESS to deb box (rw) Any ideas? Thanks for any suggestions, Sven
Xfree 4.0.1 corrupted in testing?
Hi all, I uprgaded from Debian Potato Progeny (with Xfree 402, kernel 2.2.19/2.4.5) to testing yesterday. Update was succesfull, but know dri is disabled (agp and dri are compiled into the kernel and runs fine with both kernels before update). I even compiled a new 2.4.9 kernel, no success. In the archives I found some mails refers to the same problem, but no solution. Maybe this helps: got a matrox G400 card. Maybe I need a downgrade, are the any easy ways? Thanks, Sven
