Debian linux

2002-11-28 Thread Andre



Hey,
I have been through your help files and cannot find 
think one thing Ive been trying to do...
Well i have installed Debian and created 2 accounts 
(root and my own). So anyway it starts up(eveything is fine there) and before it 
boots up a sort of dos comes up.. it asked to login, so i login either to root 
or my other one and it says something like this
[Root]*
or
[Myname@Myname]
and then i can type commands after 
that.
now im assuming that there is a command to access 
the debian window and actually get into it, so do you know what it 
is?
Please can you help, i want to get this up and 
running asap.
thanks 
Andre

Issues with pulling out data from MySQL

2004-03-25 Thread andre
Hi folks,

NEWBIE here, I am having issues with pulling data out of several tables in
MySQL.  I am running debian 3.0.23 with MySQL 3.23.49, I can create the tables
and view them through mysqladmin along with the data, put using the webform
that I created with PHP4, only some of the fields of data are being displayed. 
Any idea at where I need to start to look for issues?  Does this sould like a
DB issue or a code issue with my webform?  Any insight would be much
appreciated.  Thank you.

Regards,

dre

Hey Monique, Thank you much for the reply.  The code is listed below, wasnt sure
if i should send it in a file or not, security purposes.  Database is named
dtrackLog, all tables are present, and if i query from the command line, I can
see the data in the fields that I have previously entered.  When attempting to
draw it out, none of it or one field is present.  With the code below, I am not
seeing any data at this point.  Let me know what you think and where I could
have some issues.

Thanks Kirk for the insight.  The DB is offline at the moment and can not be
reached except for people connected to my LAN, which might explain something. 
I will google this evening for PHP injections, and I greatly appreciate the
direction.  Is there anything that i should be currently looking for withing
the DB or my box to see if someone has corrupted my tables or anything else to
that matter?

Etch to Lenny, two kernel options now, why?

2008-01-16 Thread Andre
Hi there

I recently moved to Lenny from Etch via dist-upgrade. Now I got two
kernel options in grub available for boot. Doesn't a dist-upgrade mean
that the old kernel is quite useless with the new system (with all its
new libraries and stuff)? If so, how do I get rid off Etch's leftovers?

Thanks a lot

Andre

Re: Etch to Lenny, two kernel options now, why?

2008-01-16 Thread Andre
Ahhh, good thing to know. I think the problem was that with dist-upgrade 
all those new packages came along, and I was subconsciously thinking 
they were installed due to dependencies on the new kernel and thus 
wouldn't work with the old kernel. But apparently there are some 
packages (some of the new ones) that require the new kernel, as we have 
seen in that nvidia discussion. But of course, some failing services 
will not cause the system to fail.

Thanks

Andre

That's good. DVDs IMHO are useless as serious backup medias.


Because?



for example lifetime of the media itself, problems to read on different

there are so many reasons why enterprise companys never use dvd's as

What makes you chose ansible instead of a debian package applying your
scripts and configurations?


I didn't want to create a new distribution, I wanted scripts to configure a 
bare distribution, that anyone could maintain using the standard Debian 
procedures afterwards.

Also, if you have a look to the solution, you will see that the integration 
between all the packages is not appropriate to the packages modification.

There is some debian packages for internal checks: rkhunter, tiger,
lynis, checksecurity, john, etc
Also OpenVAS https://openvas.org/ (fork from nessus) and other tools in
Kali Linux (debian-based)

Hi,
I am not familiar wit mod_unique_id but this seems more like an error 
with your /etc/hosts or hostname setup.

Make sure your /etc/hosts has an entry similar to this:

127.0.0.1	localhost atheos

And your /etc/hostname has at least

atheos

in it. That should work and if it doesn't it could be something related 
to unique_id.

Perhaps you still have hdc=ide-scsi in your lilo/grub command line? Remove

Perhaps try to compile your own kernel from source. If the problem
persists it might be a kernel problem - if not it seems to be related to
debian patches or packaging.

I fear your NIC is damaged.

The message just says that a problem with that
device has been encountered. But ifconfig showing errors is a bad sign -
might be driver problems or hardware. If you did not change anything I
would guess it is a hardware problem. As Windows has problems with the
card, too, a hardware problem is quite sure.

If you can put the NIC in another PC, and another NIC in your PC.

Did you set the gcc options to compile for i586? If your kernel is comiled
with standard options (guess i686 for a new machine like your laptop) it
will not run on a pentium.

Installed sun java some days ago. Dowloaded .bin from sun, installed it.
Used equivs-package to build dummy packages for dependencies if I would

Hi,

had some PCI problems with 2.6, too. I were able to solve them by
disabling ACPI (partially or generally). You do not have to compile a new
kernel for this, just try to append one of the following options in the
boot prompt (edit lilo.conf or menu.list (grub)):

pci=noacpi
pci=biosirq
acpi=off

For me, test3 worked without any options, test4 required pci=noacpi and
test5 would not work until I diabled ACPI (acpi=off). Now I have test7 and
it works with pci=noacpi.

Greetings
Andre

No, you only have to add one. Try acpi=off first - if your system does not
boot with this option you can forget about the others.

If it works but you do not want to disable ACPI you can try one of the
others.

It is very simple - you do not need any config. I just installed mutt
(from unstable). Then I call:

mutt -f pop://[EMAIL PROTECTED]

where xxx is my customer number from GMX (you can use both e-Mail
address and customer number as login but I guess E-mail won't work because
it has an @ inside). pop.gmx.net is your providers pop server.

Then you are asked for your password and see the contents of your mailbox.
Use arrow keys to move up and down, press D to delete a message. Q exits
mutt, it asks you to delete the marked ("D") messages. Just press enter
and you are done.

I do have a dial-up connection too, so this is my way to get rid of SWEN...

That is OK, I have one in my laptop, too. AFAIK, the ISA bridge is
contained in the chipset that is able to support ISA slots. Mainboard
manufacturers normally do not put ISA slots on boards - except for
industry purposes where you still need them sometimes...

ISA is sometimes needed for PCMCIA support but missing support should not
stop boot process.

Try to enable apic you can disable it by passing "noapic" on the boot
line.

Did you try a kernel version different to test8? - sometimes a kernel
version does not work with everybody's hardware - for me test5 did only
work without ACPI.

I attached my dmesg output so you can have a look if you can find anything
strange before your system hangs.

One thing comes to my mind:

if you use jpilot the symlink /dev/pilot is set to /dev/ttyS0 after every
update. So you can either update it to point to /dev/ttyUSB1 after every
update of jpilot or tell jpilot to use /dev/ttyUSB1 directly. I prefer the
latter.

If something went wrong with framebuffers: do not use it. In general if
nobody has a better idea (see post of pigeon) I would suggest the
following:

Try to build a vanilla kernel with only those features you will
need to boot:
- Disable framebuffers (from kernel config, no vga parameter on boot
prompt)
- Disable ACPI, APM
- Disable APIC
- Disabe USB
- Disable support for "special devices" like TV cards, ISDN cards etc.
(searching for them might (?) confuse the PCI bus)

Make sure you backup your old config so you know which options you wanted
to set.

It should not make a difference but I always use the "make clean bzImage"
for a new kernel. make-kpkg should not do anything but ...

OK, might be what Pigeon wrote: your BIOS uses an invalid APIC -> disable

These services are needed to be run on the server side:
- NFS server
- Portmap

Check if one of them is started via Inetd (etc/inetd.conf): if one is then
you also need to start inetd.

Check the log of your server if it is receiving any requests.

Wie du schreibst, ist IDE3 (hdd) eine Platte. Die Option ide-scsi ist
jedoch im 2.4 er kernel nur für CD-Brenner erforderlich.

It should already be installed because it is contained in standard
installation. Type "which ssh" if you get "/usr/bin/ssh" then ssh client
and server (same package) are installed.

> How to get sshd up and running?

During installation you were asked if ssh
server should be started. If you said no it wrote a file /etc/ssh/
sshd_not_to_be_run. If you remove this file ssh server should start during
bootup.

> Modify hosts.allow?

No. hosts.allow and hosts.deny are used by the inetd server who can pass
requests to other servers (e.g. telnetd). sshd is running standalone, so
you do not need hosts.{allow|deny}.

If you want to restrict access edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and add/modify
the parameter ListenAddress and set it to the IP of your ethernet card.

The command is called "chmod". To use it you have to understand unix file
permissions:
Every file has an owner and a group.
The file permissions contains three parts: user (owner), group (members of
the group) and other (everybody else).

If you do a "ls -l" you will see perhaps the following permissions for a
file:

rwxrwxr-x

The first three are the permissions for the user (he may read, write and
execute), the second three are for group (same permissions), the last
triple for other (may read and execute but not write).

You use chmod like this:

chmod o+w file

That means that other (last triple) get write permissions.

Or you might say

chmod u+rwx file

so user gets all permissions (he normally already has)

and so on...

chmod (u|g|o)+(r|w|x) file.

To change permissions recursively add the -R parameter.

Has been this way since test0. A new version of mount should fix it (I

Hi,

linux automatically uses your ram to cache hard disk accesses. You the

GImageView is very good - it shows thumbnails of your pictures and allows
you to create sets of thumbnails you want to see in one page.

question about suggested fs for solid state flash disk

2003-11-12 Thread Andre Sodermans
what is the suggested filesystem for a solid state
flash drive, which appears to the os as an ide drive.

The manufacturer warrants 1,000,000 writes per block
minimum and the drive has 'active remap' technology
which remaps bad blocks and is transparent to the
user.

As I understand, there is JFFS out there - would it be
suitable in my case?

How about cramfs/ramdisk combo?

Any other fs that would be applicable?

Also, since number/frequency of writes to disk should
be minimized, how can I disable the swap space? My
application is quite simple so there is no need for
virtual memory (I hope :-) ) - I just need to write a
few datafiles to disk.

Will I still have to take care of moving certain files
over to ramdisk, i.e. /var/* ?

thanks in advance,
A.

Evolution without X / PIM on server

2003-09-20 Thread Andre Kalus
Hi,

can you run evolution without a gui? If not perhaps anybody has another
idea:

I have a palm as well as a mobile phone that can sync to evolution via
multisync. I want to keep all data in sync and AFAIK evolution is the only
solution in linux "everybody" can sync to (perhaps some kde applications
but that would not help me either).

I have a linux server (DNS, Firewall, NFS, etc.) running at home and would
like to have a cantral calendar and contacts I can sync with - so
evolution. But the server does not have X installed and I do not want it
to.

Is there any way to run evolution without X and all those gnome gui
libraries? Or is there another way to have a central calendar, contacts
and tasks repository that can sync to palm and other devices?

Thanks in advance
Andre

Hi, AFAIK kernel 2.6 has the latest pcmcia-sources included. So you don't
need the extra pcmcia-source package. Just use the pcmcia-cs debian
package to have the control binaries and config files.
Just make sure you include PCMCIA support when building your kernel.

I am running 2.6 sice test1 with running PCMCIA (well for me it's CF
support as I only have a CF slot) and it works very well.

Having the same problems here. Solved it by writing a script setperms.sh
that sets the correct permissions. This script can be called by a cron
job. Not a nice solution but I found no better.

Try to set cdrecord.mmap suid for groups, too (chmod g+s
/usr/bin/cdrecord.mmap). suid on cdrecord is ignored as it is a script and
calls (at least for me) cdrecord.mmap.

Hope that helps for you; I have the following permissions:
-rwxr-xr-x1 root root  142 Sep 12 15:17 cdrecord
-rwsr-sr--1 root cdwriter   342924 Sep 12 15:17 cdrecord.mmap
-rwsr-xr--1 root cdrom  342924 Sep 12 15:17 cdrecord.shm
and get the same warning.

You can create your own directory, say /etc/icewm.local, and you
should be able to make $HOME/.icewm a symlink to it.=20

# ln -s /etc/icewm.local $HOME/.icewm

In case this doesn't work, symlink not to the dir but to the files,

# ln -s /etc/icewm.local/preferences $HOME/.icewm/preferences

and so on.

Yo. Because after switching to this folder the sort method will

Smartd frequent attribute change

2003-04-01 Thread Andre Marenke
Hi,

I am using the package smartsuite to monitor my server harddisks. 
Unfortunately, a Seagate Barracuda on /dev/hda keeps filling up my 
syslog with messages like the one attached below(1).

Attribute 1 and 195 keep changing by 1/-1 almost every time smartd runs 
the check. When I run smartctl -v /dev/hda, the results(2) do not really 
mean anything to me me as they were like this right from when I put the 
harddisk in.

Does anybody else experience similar log events and if so, is there 
anything you did to stop this from happening?
Thanks,
Andre

pb w/ man

1999-06-14 Thread Andre FAURE
Hi,

I'm using slink that I've upgraded to kernel 2.2.9
Suddenly I can't use the man command. It yields
libc.so.6 can't be loaded!
ldd man responds libc.so.6 -> Not Found
This is stupid because the system wouldn't start
if so. Besides I can list the libs and the links in /lib
and I can compile *.c programs.
I haven't installed anything nor have I made any
modification other than compiling the new kernel
which should not be a problem.
Does anyone have a idea of what's happening?

XFree86 problem

1998-09-10 Thread Daniel ANDRE
I have a problem with XFREE86 configuration on my laptop (thoshiba
tecra730xcdt):

The svga chip is CT65550 with 2Mb VideoRam.
I have successfully set up for 8bpp up to 1024*768 resolution

I have tried with 16bbp and the 1024*768 mode has too high mclock
frequency.
I have tried to adjust if with
Option "set_memclk xxx" with no success.

Any help is appreciated

Problem resolving $(hostname) with DHCP

1999-10-09 Thread Andre Majorel
I've just moved to a site where they use DHCP with W95 clients.
I've managed to configure my (and a colleague's) good ol' Hamm to
insert in the network with dhcpcd 0.70-5 but some problems
remain :

>From   To Operation   Results
-  -  --  ---
Linux  NT SMTPOK
Linux  NT POP3OK
Linux  AIXHTTPOK
Linux  NT HTTPOK
Linux  AIXftp ftp prints "connected to xxx" then hangs
Linux  Linux  ftp ftp prints "connected to xxx" then hangs
W95Linux  ftp ftp prints "connected to xxx" then hangs
Linux  W95pingOK
Linux  Linux  pingping hangs
Linux  W95traceroute  OK
Linux  Linux  traceroute  traceroute hangs

Getting the IP address from the DHCP server seems to work fine.
The DNS server apparently contains only the addresses of the
various servers, not the addresses of the clients that get their
address through DHCP. In our /etc/hosts, there's only "127.0.0.1
localhost".

Note: my colleague (who uses the second Hamm machine) has told
me friday morning that he had solved the problem by putting
"3273.xxx.tm.fr" instead of "jf" in /etc/hostname. I've tried to
do a similar operation on my machine ("aym3" -> "3275.xxx.tm.fr")
but it did NOT solve the problem. Besides, on his machine, the
problem returned at noon ! (The numbers 3273 and 3275 are the W95
machine names assigned to our respective boxes by the local
sysadmin).

I've used tcpdump -s 500 -x udp port 67 or port 68 to see what's
happening during a ping. Results :

1) during a (successful) ping of a W95 box : no DHCP traffic.
   Immediate response. Everything's fine.

2) during a (failed) ping of a Linux machine (from 3275.xxx.tm.fr
   to 3273.xxx.tm.fr): 6 packets were captured. I'm showing only
   the headers here, the dumps are too large.

Can't help with the sg module, but I had a similar problem when
upgrading from potato. Make sure all of ppp's dependecies are
fulfilled:

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), libpam0g (>= 0.72-1), libpcap0 (<<
0.7.0), libpcap0 (>= 0.6.1-1), libpam-modules, netbase, sysvinit (>=
2.75-4), procps, makedev (>= 2.3.1-56)

(from apt-cache show ppp)

One of the libs is "new".

"Works for me". You might want the yenta_socket module and refer to
the documentation, esp.

/usr/share/doc/pcmcia-cs/README-2.4.gz
/usr/share/doc/pcmcia-cs/FAQ.Debian.gz

Also, the configuration file location of /etc/pcmcia.conf has moved
to /etc/default/pcmcia.

/usr/share/doc/pcmcia-cs/notes.Debian.gz

I hope this helps.

Add "apm=3Don" to /etc/lilo.conf and don't forget to run "lilo -v"

X problems with two monitors

2002-09-24 Thread Andre Fassbender

Hello all,

i have two monitors (2x 1024x768) on my debian 3.0 with X 4.1.0.1 and WindowMaker 
0.80.0. I configured the xinerama mode and most all works properly. When i set a 
scaled backround picture its being resized to 2048x768 but the right monitor shows the 
same "left part" of the picture that the left monitor shows. 
Through a transparent window like Eterm the picture on the right side is correct so if 
i fullscreen the window on the right side the full picture is correct.

Has anyone else experienced this? How can i resolve this?

Thanks for your help,

Andre

Here is what I have done last Sunday. I wanted to upgrade my old
slackware that didn't work any longer since I had installed a new
version of gcc without reading the manual first.

I tried first to use the floppy distribution of Debian. It didn't work
since it requires a fresh partition. I had nothing to backup my hd so
I didn't want to format the partitions. I try insist and to go to
further steps (configurind modules and so on) but all what I managed
to do was beeing anable to boot again.

So, I decided to install a redhat from december infomagic cdrom (the
base system (which brings a 2.0.x kernel) and C and C++ developpement
utilities (so that I could compile a new kernel and dselect needs C++
to be compiled.). 

Then I found a debian distribution 1.2.7 from march pht mo'linux. I
took the source of dpkg compile and install it. To be able to do that
I had to comment the part of the makefile which call debiandoc-sgml
(which was not installed).

Then I started to dselect install the base distribution. May be for
first installation following the amount of spare disk you have you
should dselect emacs (which debian puts in /usr/lib/ rather than in
/usr/local/share so that you could have twice the same version of
emacs :

- installation of ldso was ok
- then I went in a circular dependency pb : (libc5 depends on
dpkg which depends on libc5). I quit dselect and try to use dpkg
--force-depends to install dpkg (it needed sysvinit first to have
access to /etc/rc0.d which dkpg needs). Finally I got dpkg.deb
installed but it didn't work (dselect was no longer able to find an
access method, none were available). So I reinstall dpkg from the
source distribution (Now it is recorded as installed so that depencies
works and it is working).
- i went back on dselect and went on installing : libc was ok
... after bash was installed dselect which probably use /bin/sh didn't
work. So I quit dselect and made ldconfig -v and dselect worked
again. But it started installation from beginning. In order to speed
installation up I made dpkg --configure --pending to configure already
unpacked packages and dslect again. 

Installation was ok with sometimes need for ld-config or dpkg
--configure.

Then I had to modify /etc/ld.so.conf and /dev/mouse and I had
a slackware system patched with a debian one. I wouldn't dare saying
I'm using a real debian system since I'm not sure that already
existing software might not conflict with new installed debian
software. And it brings to ask a question :

How can I sweep my hd get rid of old files ? 

I've already made a perl script based on locate which find
duplicated files (for exemple /usr/bin/emacs and
/usr/local/bin/emacs). The result of my script looks like :

emacs 96/8/6  /usr/bin/emacs
emacs 96/9/28 /usr/local/bin/emacs

Where the date is the date of last modification of files. Now
I need to know the list of files installed by dpkg. Is there a debian
command which could tell this.

Sorry for being so long. Hope this could help.

Replacing Exim with self compiled qmail

2003-11-28 Thread Andre Marenke
Hi,
I have a minimal Debian install with an Exim in broken configuration. In
addition, I have installed qmail which is running fine. 

Is there a way to uninstall Exim and have dpkg recognize my qmail
installation as the system mailer so that I can install other packages
that rely on an mta? 

The qmail-src and var-qmail packages are not an option btw.

Cheers,
Andre Marenke

Re: Request for window manager recommendations

A window manager is a program that just "manages windows". It gives
applications an area on the screen where they can be displayed and most
often the WM draws a border around it, gives it a nice title and enables
the user to do things with these windows - put one on the foreground,
minimize another one etc.

Very often window managers come with some kind of a panel, virtual
desktop support and some kind of application launcher (a "start menu" or
icons on the panel), but strictly speaking, this is exceeding the task
of a minimal WM.

Desktop environments (KDE, Gnome. Xfce) do far more than that. They come
with a file manager, draw the background with pixmaps and icons, they do
some work behind your back to easily handle removable storage or enable
drag'n drop. They come with "control centers" to do system
administration and generally give the user a simplified, cleaned up view
on their system. Applications supporting the DE all look the same and
share a lot of routines to do common tasks. DEs also provide
applications with a way to register themselves for a filetype which they
can handle, which is then reflected when using the DE's file manager and
so on... Of course, this list is not complete.


Interesting, thanks.

Mouse : can't locate module char-major-10

1996-11-04 Thread Andre Dewevre
Hello All,

I am new to Linux and of course new to the Debian distribution.

Recently I tried to install X on my box using the vga16 server.
When started, the server immediately die with a message
"Cannot open mouse : (no such device).

Because X is a rather complex package, I tried to troubleshoot 
my mouse problem using gpm. The result was the same as
with X, now the message is gpm : /dev/psmouse :  No shuch device.
Because psmouse is a symbolic link a also tried psaux and because
it still didn't work, I even tried /dev/msmouse and /dev/inportbm (in
fact this is a non-sense because my mouse is a PS-2 style).

The problem is not the mouse hardware, because under Windows95,
the same mouse on the same PC work ok. It is discovered as a PS/2
compatible mouse using interrupt 12.

The computer is a Gateway 2000 P100. I think they use an Intel
Alladin mother-board, but I am not completly sure. The mouse
is a Microsoft "Mouse Port Compatible 2.0"

I had also a look at /proc/devices and I didn't find any mouse device 
there. Also /proc/interrupts do not show any entry for interrupt 12.

Finally I found that every time a started X or gpm, I got an entry
in daemon.log : "modprobe : can't locate module  char-major-10

So it seems that I need to load a module for my mouse.
In /usr/lib/module_help/modules I found that modules
should exist for psaux and mouse, however I didn't find any
psaux.o or mouse.o on my system.

Now I am stuck. I only see two possibilities :

1)I really need to load psaux.o and mouse.o; but where can I found
  those files?

2)The mouse driver is build in the kernel and for some reason the 
mouse is not detected at boot-up. How can I force the mouse 
configuration?

I have really no idea which of those two possibilities is correct.
As I am new to Linux maybe I made a stupid mistake.

All the software was loaded from the stable subtree of the 
distribution. Kernel is 2.0.6.

Any help would be appraciated.

Thanks,

Andre Dewevre

Igor,

Many thanks for your suggestion. I recompiled the kernel with PS/2 
mouse support and the mouse is now working.

Re: stopping ssh attacks

2005-06-16 Thread Andre Venter
Two things, allow SSH access only from the netblock from which you want the 
machine accessed (This helps but doesn't solve the problem) Second is switch 
from password auth to paswordless RSA Auth, this renders brute force attacks 
pretty much useless.

Re: Remote administration of a server

2005-06-17 Thread Andre Venter

Once again,

RSA auth for SSH works well, since there is no password a dictionary attack 
won't work, make the key a 1024 bit or 2048 bit ket and it'll take an 
extreme amount of time for any would be intruder to get past this. Of course 
you'll need to get the public key to yourself when you change keys, which 
should happen on a regular basis, as would password changes. Getting the key 
to yourself is relatively easy too, it can be copied through SCP to your 
workstation and into the relevant file in your home (unix) or in the dir 
where your ssh client lives (windows)

I will have people who can press reset button for me. This is not a
problem.


If you have a fixed IP in China, it would be a good idea to
restrict ssh access to the server so that only that IP can connect.



I have ADSL connection without fixed IP, can I then set some kind of IP
net mask to restrict access from other IP?
