Sarge netinst: CD-RW Sony CRX175A1

[Dani]

Hi.

I'm netinstalling Debian Sarge from a minimal CD.  I boot the CD and it
fails to autodetect the CD drive, maybe because it's a CD-RW.  It's Sony
CRX175A1.  The installation show me the following list of kernel modules:
aztcd, cdu31a, cm206, gscd, isp16, mcd, mcdx, optcd, sbpcd, sjcd,
sonycd535.

Which may I choose?  I suspect that none of the above because my drive is
CD-RW.

Please help.  TIA.

By IDE, as most of CD-RW drives.

Now what?  My CD-RW is in the secondary master.

I installed a Samsung SC-148B CD driver in my secondary master and tried
the installation.  Guess what.  I had exactly the same problem.  It seems
not to be something of the CD or CD-RW driver.  Might it be the
motherboard?

Please help.  TIA.

Documentation wrapper

[Dani]

Hi all,

Is there any console tool that allows the user to access easily to the
documentation of any package? For example, if I am working with
python-matplotlib (a matlab-like python plotting system) and I want to
read its main documentation, already installed in my box (package:
python-matplotlib-doc), is it possible to do something like

 $ helpwrapper matplotlib

to start viewing the contents of
/usr/share/doc/python-matplotlib-doc/index.html?

The wrapper should launch the appropriate viewer depending on the
format of the documentation (a browser for docs in .html, xpdf for
docs in PDF, etc.)

For those who work with tetex, note that I am asking for something
very similar to the command 'texdoc', which searches for the name
provided as argument in the TeX tree and shows its documentation with
the suitable viewer:

 $ texdoc booktabs

my apologies if this question has already been raised before.

Thanks a lot for your attention,

dani

Re: Documentation wrapper

Thank you all for your help.

The combination doc-base + dwww (or dhelp) is exactly what I was looking for.

How come there is no mention to 'doc-base' in the Debian reference or
the Debian FAQ? It seems a pretty useful tool :)

Hi Farid,

you first need to start an X server. Put the following line into your
~/.xinitrc:

exec fvwm

Create one if it doesn't exist (or comment out the lines pointing to
other window managers if it does). Then start your X server by running

$ startx

This will read your ~/.xinitrc and then start the X server and finally
fvwm. The "exec" tells the X server to stay up and running until fvwm is
shut down. It then also will shut down.

Hope that helped.

Hi!

Hm... Not quite sure if he's right. Most of them work but "out of the
box"? I got a Netgear WG511 and it works like a charm. But I had to
patch the kernel to get support for the prism chipset
(http://prism54.org). And I had to get the firmware and make it load via
hotplug. Took me some time to set up but there was a good tutorial on
the site.

Hi,

somebody had the same question here yesterday. Maybe it's because they
are including KDE 3.3.1 in sarge at the moment? I also had some
problems when there was an update to KDE 3.2.3 in sarge some months ago.
But just guessing...

Hi,

just check if your $USER is member of the group audio.

As user type
$ groups

If "audio" is not in the list do (as root):
$ adduser $USER audio

Unfortunately not true! Bought a Creative modem some time ago. This

I tell you when I'm at home this evening, okay? I am working right
now and don't know by heart what it is... (writing it down on my
Palm).

Hi,

the years old modem I use (and which works fine) is a "Rockwell
V1456VQE". I never had problems with it.

... and what's your firewall settings at work??? Guess it's blocking

You need to type "bf24" at the boot prompt when installing woody.
This will take the 2.4.18-bf24 kernel. Guess you didn't and so it
was installed with the old 2.2.X kernel :-/

Palm-Tool (something like JPilot) for console?

[Dani Belz]

Hi,

does somebody know a tool like JPilot to handly contacts, todos,
calendar etc. for console? Maybe one that doesn't need Emacs? :)

TIA

Hi Maurits,

I already have pilot-xfer installed. I use it to get data out of my
Palm. But it is binary data I can not edit. What I search is a
console tool to edit my todos, appointments, etc. based on this data
and then sync it back to my Palm. I'm using JPilot at the moment to
achieve this but a non-X program would be more my way :)

KPilot is still very buggy. Allthough I have a very old Palm V, it
still doesn't work very well (using KDE 3.3.2, built from source).

But using pilot-xfer and JPilot shouldn't cause any trouble as
pilot-xfer writes the data to another directory than JPilot does
(default: ~/.jpilot/).

Hi,

shouldn't a firewall by default accept any incoming connection (no
matter what port) that is related to an outgoing connection?

iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

So, is this _really_ the problem? Or just a workaround? I mean, why
should a windows client accept an incoming cvs response at a port
and a linux client doesn't? They are behind the same firewall...

Can anybody help me to understand that?

TIA

if you often use the same command over and over again you can also
use

$ !

This calls  with the arguments you used last time.

Well, I got a problem with that:

Let's assume I search for 'cdrecord'. I find several entries in
history, but not the one I was searching for. So I do a C-a C-k or a
C-u to get an empty prompt again. But now, I am somewhere in the
middle of the history. Is there a possibility to jump to the end of
history again? Let me clearify this a bit:


hist1
hist2
cdrecord --bla
hist3
cdrecord --bla
hist4
hist5


I do 
$ C-r cdrecord
$ C-r

I now have:
$ cdrecord --bla

I do
$ C-a C-k
or
$ C-u

When I now use arrow up to go back one entry in history I get "hist2".
But I want "hist5" :(

Thank you, Maurits. It works fine on a console, but not in a XTerm
:( There it just prints "Å"...
