AcceleratedX4.1.1 work with GLIBC ?
I had slackware runnin great for about 2 years, could never get XFREE running on slack but was shocked to see it setup perfectly in debian 2. I still wanted to try to get AcceleratedX working, but when I installed it, and hit startx, or Xsetup, nothing happened..no errors..just got a new command prompt. Does AccelX run with glibc? i have the libc5-compat package installed.. and nowhere in my AccelX manual nor on the cd's documentation does it say _anything_ about glibc problems. Also, any way to get Staroffice 4 to run on Debian 2 ? when i tried the installer, it crashed(saw the readme say it didn't support glibc) ..Staroffice5 ? what about applix how's that run in glibc. I saw an email a week or 2 back about getting SO3 to work in debian, saved it will look over it again later..or maybe it mentioned SO4 i forgot. since this list generates so much traffic i had to make another account just for this list ;) if you reply to this would you be so kind as to send it/cc it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as well, as that is one of my main addresses. I usually download this mail once a week in packages of 900+ and it'd be hard to sort thru them all :| one last question ..can anybody reccomend a POP client for X that can handle multiple accounts smoothly. 5 of my accounts i try to check regularly. (keep different ones for different purposes) I got a pretty good linux-links page up as well ..not just linux links it has other things too if your interested - http://yahoo.aphroland.org . About 350 links total, around 160-170 linux-specific. made it cuz it was a pain to keep my favorites/bookmarks available through 2 computers, 5 OSs, and about 8 different browsers ack! heheh (and before you flame me for using eudora..im only using win95 to test out my new v90 flash!! honest! :> --sofar it sucks ) nate /\ * System Administrator http://www.aphroland.org/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * -- * "For Centuries philosophers and theologians have debated what it means to * * be human.

Re: problem with /dev/lp0
which module is loaded for the parallel port? i prefer static kernels but from what i can see you would need parport_pc loaded and not parport. and for 2.2.x you gotta tell it to support parallel printers in character device section of config, again i always do my kernels as much static as i can since it so rarely changes..only stuff like vmware, lm_sensors etc get to be modules. nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Linux System Administrator http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Wed, 6 Oct 1999, Debian Mail wrote: > I use Debian with kernel 2.0.36.

Quake 2 trouble.
I tried posting to linuxquake.com and got no response..maybe someone here
can help.
Quake 2 shareware runs great.. full 3D acceleration (TNT) no crashes no
problems what-so-ever. (quake 3 flies too)
the problem is when i try it with my quake2 cd. It won't load..here is
the output: Happens with both quake 2 3.19 from slink and from 3.20 which
i d/l offa cdrom.com. Happens both when i run from the cd, or copy the
files off it and run from hd. checked the newsgroups and other places
didn't find anything that mentions this error.

Re: vnc-problems
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/faq.html#q20 Q20 Why can I only run vncserver/Xvnc as root? The most likely reason for this is that Xvnc can't create the unix domain socket (the path for this unix domain socket is usually /tmp/.X11-unix/Xn). Try making sure that users can write to this directory by making it world-writable, i.e. "chmod a+w /tmp/.X11-unix". Note that to avoid a security loophole the "sticky bit" should also be set on the directory by doing "chmod o+t /tmp/.X11-unix". If you don't do this then someone else logged in to the same machine may be able to intercept the X protocol and thereby access your desktop and snoop on it, etc. An alternative is to set the Xvnc binary to have the same permissions as your normal X server, but this may be more of a security risk.

Re: Netscape and its cache
i for one love netscape. mainly for it's roaming abilities. i setup mod_roaming on my main www server an can get my bookmarks and cookies and history files from any machine at any time. at home i use squid for my cache and i set my cache in netscape to 0. dont remember if netscape still caches things but it doesnt matter to me, squid works better. although because of the roaming stuff i do close out netscape when im done using it, i don't go weeks or days with it open. if i didn't the roaming information would be out of synch. nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Linux System Administrator http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On 11 Oct 1999, Arcady Genkin wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > > > So it only cleared 700K.

XF86 modelines
can someone explain what the XF86 option 'doublescan' is ? I'm trying to define modelines so i can watch videoCDS full screen with MPEGTV. not having much luck though. For some reason the modelines generated from XF86Setup make the really low resolutions (below 640x480) run at really high refresh rates(say, 130hz) which my monitor (Princeton E0500) doesnt support. Maybe someone on this list has a E0500 and can let me take a look/try at their modelines. kvidtune didn't generate any useable modelines either. (and it crashes with a floating exception below 480x XXX ) I'm using a Creative Labs TNT 16MB @ 1024x768 76hz currently (1024x768 85Hz max for my monitor) any ideas would be appreciated :) nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Linux System Administrator http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]--

Re: DHCP problem....
sounds like a DNS issue, run a reverse lookup on the IP and see what comes out. you can also add this line to your /etc/resolv.conf domain yourdomain.com that will cause the system to search the local domain when you ping a hostname. for me if i pinged the host galactica, resolv.conf would automatically try galactica.firetrail.com but it looks more to be a DNS thing. the hostname may not be a valid (Domain Name) host. that can be checked by trying to resolve the full host.domain.com. if it resolves the problem is on the client machine(the /etc/resolv.conf shit) nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Linux System Administrator http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Wed, 13 Oct 1999, J.M.

Canary 720653 = aff0d died in procedure tcapterminalinfo
It's not a serious problem, but it is curious as it only happens on one of my servers, none of the others. It seems the terminal type is not set properly when a user logs in and if its not a compadible terminal type pine crashes: $ pine Canary 720653 = aff0d died in procedure tcapterminalinfo. Segmentation fault --- On my other machines if the terminal type is wrong it will just say unknown terminal type (whatever term is being used) and exit cleanly. not on this machine though. Currently running pine 4.20 but it happened on 4.05 too (both compiled from the source distro) i have 4 Debian slink machines and this is the only one that has this prob, so i figure its something other then pine causing this problem. any ideas ?? btw, if i export TERM=vt100 pine loads fine(which is why its not that serious:)) ) but still would like to fix it so it at least responds like the other systems.

Re: apache + cgi
usually i just kill apache, set the ulimit (ulimit -u 40) and restart apache. you could prob do this in the rc script too. i'll check out the rlimit directives, but that sounds like an apache thing. i feel safer with a system level limiter. and kernel patches i have applied ensure they are enforced (better) then that of a 'stock' kernel.

Re: where is my memory going?
its supposed to. i'd stick with 2.2.10 unless there is something specific in the newer ones you want. in my experience 2.2.10 is BY FAR the best 2.2.x kernel(although i never tried a few, missed .3 .4 .6 .7 ..) the reason(i read it, could be wrong)for the problems in 2.2.11 -.12 is there was a large number of fixes backported to 2.2.11 which introduced a lot of new problems(why do this in a stable kernel?! ack) and theyve been working on ironing o ut the bugs ever since. hopefully 2.2.13 is as stable as 2.2.10 nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Linux System Administrator http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Wed, 20 Oct 1999, Aaron Solochek wrote: > Yeah, 2.2.12.

rtl8139 in slink?
curious as to why there was no realtek 8139 driver included in slink. and it doesnt appear as an option in the kernel that slink comes with (2.2.12 currently -- using the CD from the new O'reilley book) even tho the rtl8139.c file is there(it failed to compile as a module for some reason) gonna try again with the 2.0.36, hope i can get the NIC working the only other machine i got has no floppy drive. dont want to burn a cd with only 10mb on it :/ nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Linux System Administrator http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]--
rtl8139 in slink(again)
2.0.36 kernel works great.

check to see if there is anything in /etc/hosts.deny i think debian defaults to denying everyone access (could be wrong) then either add your ips to /etc/hosts.allow, comment out the lines(reccomended) in hosts.deny (tweak it later) or rm hosts.deny hosts.allow/deny easiest way to add your stuff: ALL : 1.2.3.4 1.2.3. where 1.2.3.4 would be a full IP and 1.2.3. would be a class C block of addreses, this is different from firewalling where to do a class C you would do 1.2.3.0.(i get the 2 confused a lot). nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Linux System Administrator http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Fri, 22 Oct 1999, Evan Burkitt wrote: > I have just installed Debian 2.1 and need some advice on how to get FTP and > telnet working.

Re: More sound problems...
you may not be able to get sound because there is not enough free memory below 16MB for the dma buffer. in more recent 2.2.x kernels you gotta enable the persistant DMA buffers in sound config and it will reserve the memory at boot. it may not solve this problem, but its an idea :) nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Linux System Administrator http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Sun, 24 Oct 1999, Chris Mayes wrote: > Well, before I left for the weekend, I had my sound working.

Re: Can't get seconf NIC to work
did u try to compile the NIC driver static into the kernel, i got 2 machines that use tulip(although on 2.0.36) and i try to avoid modules at all costs. the only thing that get modularized for me are stuff thats 3rd party and not included w/the kernel. if its a server, there are modules out there that help maintain root access for an attacker and cloak his activities. so it's good practice not to use modules unless you really need em. (with ethernet is there any reason you'd unload the driver? i have never had a reason to). also 2.2.9 isnt the best kernel i had probs with it, 2.2.10 is great though. 2.2.11-.12 aren't too good(memory leaks, other minor bugs due to backported fixes in .11 2.2.13 not sure about havent tried it yet) as for the route, the route command isn't needed for 2.2 it will automatically add it for you(you can add it anways with that command u gave). i see the route command for u failed, did you have a eth1 interface at the time you issued it? nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Tue, 26 Oct 1999, Patrick Kirk wrote: > Hi all, > > Effortless is one word I wouldn't use to describe the move to the 2.2 > kernel.

you can use weblogs.. in apache i use this: CustomLog /path/to/www-access.log combined so a virtual host directive (for me) looks like: ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /users/virtual/aphroland.org ServerName www.aphroland.org ErrorLog /users/virtual/aphroland.org/www-error.log CustomLog /users/virtual/aphroland.org/www-access.log combined which outputs very detailed information in the logs: 141.64.14.110 - - [26/Oct/1999:07:16:10 -0700] "GET /linuxbanners/linux12.gif HTTP/1.1" 200 14515 "http://yahoo.aphroland.org/OperatingSystems/Windows/WindowsCE/"; "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows NT)" if you want to use this for bandwidth tracking, you may want to place the logs in a directory that the user can't access so they can't delete em :) a better solution, but does nto appear to work for virtual hosts, is ipac, the IP accounting package, i could onnly get it to work on physical interfaces though (like eth0 not eth0:1) i may of had broken IPAC rules though i didn't play with it for long. after you set the logs up you can setup a stats program like webalizer to analize the logs and output html (like http://webstats.aphroland.org) hope this helps! nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Tue, 26 Oct 1999, venu wrote: > hi all > > heres a nice query from a friend > > >where can i find an utility which can account for bandwidth usage of each of > >the sites hosted on one web server with only one ip address > > can we help him ? > > http logs ?? > and then he is bound to ask about "controlling" so ip route ? tc ? > solutions ??? > > cherio > venu > > > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null >
Re: connection cost monitor anyone?
i saw this recently on freshmeat: http://www.freshmeat.net/appindex/1999/03/16/921605259.html pppcosts is a small utility that calculates and displays the time (and phone costs) you have been online using a modem or ISDN ppp connection. The time and costs are saved, so that you can use pppcosts to keep track of you monthly phone costs. Cost files for many phone companies are included. If your phone company isn't on the list, then you can create a costfile on your own, which is very easy. there is 1-2 other such utils on freshmeat, check there for the links. nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Tue, 26 Oct 1999, Philip Lehman wrote: > I'm looking for a convenient way to monitor and log telephone costs > (using ppp in a country where telephone bills can *really* spoil the > day) but I can't seem to find a powerfull utility. > > At the moment I'm running pppcosts.

Re: Stealth Firewall...
connection refused means there is no firewall there on that port/protocol. a properly firewalled port will time out when a connection is attampted. as for IGMP i dont think that is even enabled in the kernel is it ?? thought only tcp/udp and icmp by default. firewalling icmp was for me, kidna complicated, as there are many types of icmp. i ended up blocking icmp type 8, which appears to block pings, but allow traceroutes. some sample rules from my configuration(linux 2.0, ipfwadm) #caught portscanning on 9-11-99 /sbin/ipfwadm -Ia deny -P all -S 131.123.46.150 -D 0.0.0.0/0 /sbin/ipfwadm -Ia deny -P all -S 209.251.178.30 -D 0.0.0.0/0 #caught portscanning on 9-12-99 /sbin/ipfwadm -Ia deny -P all -S 207.108.153.229 -D 0.0.0.0/0 /sbin/ipfwadm -I -P icmp -a reject -S 0.0.0.0/0 8 # lots of connections to DNS 9-26-99 /sbin/ipfwadm -Ia deny -P all -S 216.32.68.11 -D 0.0.0.0/0 /sbin/ipfwadm -Ia deny -P all -S 209.67.78.202 -D 0.0.0.0/0 you could block everyone on all supported protocols(with the -P all flag) and allow each ip/protocol ..would be a lot of work i think but it'd be possible(depending on what u want to be allowed in) i also got telnet firewalled /sbin/ipfwadm -Ia deny -P tcp -S 0.0.0.0/0 -D 0.0.0.0/0 23 if you telnet to me, it will time out(my ip is 208.222.179.31) if it doesn't i will shit my pants, either that or you're comming from inside my subnets :) nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Tue, 26 Oct 1999, Onno wrote: > How can I equip my firewall with -STEALTH- capabilities? > > I know that TCP and UDP connections are done by > specific network demons or that inetd will startup > the necessary network demon.

Re: Compiling proftpd from potato in a slink box
sorta off subject but proftpd had some pretty serious security flaws in it, and i dont think it would be advisable to use on a unprotected system(non firewalled). those flaws were fixed but there are many more potential problems as the base code has some severe security problems. wu-ftpd has similar problems a recent CERT alert was sent out about a current version of wu-ftpd. I use the OpenBSD ftpd v0.2.2 (?) compiled from source. its a very basic ftpd, and for me, works great. if you don't care about security or your system is already safe..then forget what i just said :) nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Wed, 27 Oct 1999, Paulo Henrique Baptista de Oliveira wrote: > I cant compile proftp from unstable in a slink server because it gives > me the following error: > > gcc -Wall -g3 -I/usr/include/mysql -g -O2 -DUSESHADOW -DAUTOSHADOW > -DCONFIG_FILE_PATH=\"/etc/proftpd.conf\" -DRUN_DIR=\"/var/run/proftpd\" > -DLINUX -I.. -I../include -c mod_pgsql.c > In file included from /usr/include/postgresql/libpq-fe.h:28, > from mod_pgsql.c:36: > /usr/include/postgresql/libpq/pqcomm.h:22: c.h: No such file or directory > make[2]: *** [mod_pgsql.o] Error 1 > make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/baptista/PROFTPD/proftpd-1.2.0pre7/modules' > make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/baptista/PROFTPD/proftpd-1.2.0pre7' > make: *** [build] Error 2 > > What is the error? > Thanks, Paulo Henrique > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null >

Re: x windows
for the s3 virge the server would be XF86_S3V. what is the other card's chipset?? might be best to try to yank out the other card, and use the onboard S3 Virge, run XF86Setup, choose S3 Virge, set the resolution, and the color depth .. click on done(i think thats the name of the button) it will test it, sit back and pray it works, if it does, save the config and exit, then you can 'startx' nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Tue, 26 Oct 1999, raymond ferrari wrote: > I have been trying to get x windows up and running but have problems.

Re: any need to upgrade kernel
depends .. if your running SMP you may want to upgrade if you want access to NTFS drives you may want to upgrade if you use a TV card you may want to upgrade 2.2 provides some pretty good overall perforamnce boosters, but its clear to me its still not really stable yet..i'm holding off on 2.2 on my servers till at least 2.4 is out. my dual processor server is still running 2.0 even. 2.2.10 has prooved to be a great kernel for me. haven't seen any reports about adverse effects when using 2.2.13 as of yet .. if your not planning on upgrading/changing your hardware(to something that may only be supported in kernel 2.2/2.3/2.4) i'd suggest to stay with 2.0. nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Wed, 27 Oct 1999 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi > > I am running slink with kernel 2.0.36.
