My first experience with anything *nix was in April of this year. Mandrake 7.0 on a standard intel box. Linuxconf works well with Mandrake. I installed Potato on a new laptop, rebuilt the kernel for VESA framebuffer and all. A couple of days ago, I installed bind and set the laptop up as a subdomain of my main domain, the Mandrake box. I use several VirtualHost aliases with Apache (jake.my.dom, www.my.dom, project1.my.dom, project2.my.dom, etc.) (No, I do not use linuxconf for zone file creation, Debian or Mandrake). I changed /etc/resolv.conf on the laptop to first use itself as its main nameserver. For this I did use linuxconf. Then verified /etc/resolv.conf and was happy with the result. URLs like www.lap.my.dom were pinging fine, and Netscape displayed the page I was wanting to see, even when not on the network. Then I rebooted the laptop. Apache stalled because it couldn't resolve www.lap.my.dom. Something had reset my resolv.conf to use my box as it's nameserver. So I reran linuxconf, verified /etc/resolv.conf, chmod 444 /etc/resolv.conf, reboot. Same thing... Cannot resolve www.lap.my.dom, as well as root write permission on resolv.conf. So now in /etc/rc2.d I have S27fixresolv (a short perl script to rewrite /etc/resolv.conf) S30bind and S32apache which works, but is sloppy. What am I getting at? 1) Why would Debian include anything that would rewrite a vital system configuration file that has no write permission? 2) Why would Debian include a "System Configuration Tool", only to rewrite the files it produces? #/etc/init.d grep resolv.conf * only matches my fixresolv script #/sbin grep resolv.conf * only matches binary files #/usr/sbin grep resolv.conf * aha! pcnetconfig OK, So now I can restore rc2.d, but my questions remain.

What is the best Xfree Setup Program?
I have been using debian for a long time now and I some of my friends are coming on board from Redhat. Is there any new programs that will aid in the Xfree problems.

Re: Frontpage
Your best bet is to either: 1. Install apache from deb packages and then customize it as needed. Then install your libapache-mod-frontpage-mirfak 2. Manually buld the libapache-mod-frontpage-mirfak extensions from tgz. (that is why it is best to stick with all debs. Plus it will help to keep you up to date when you do apt-get update; apt-get upgrade;) Good Luck, Jake Johnson http://www.plutoid.com On Sat, 7 Jun 2003, Reaz Baksh wrote: > Hello > > I'm trying to install Frontpage extensions on a web site I have.

Re: Shell script or Perl?
Hi Edwin, It all depends on the level of difficulty the problem is and how well you know shell scripting vs. perl. I would recommend using perl script if you need to massage files and need advanced features in your program, otherwise I would stick to a shell script that is small and fast.

need help with installation
Hi there I'm installing Debian 2.1 (slink) via floppies on an IBM Thinkpad 360 with 12 MB RAM and 340 MB HDD. I was able to partition the hard drive and mount filesystems without any problem (I chose /dev/hda1 mounted on /, /dev/hda2 swap partition and /dev/hda3 on /usr). When I get to install the kernel and modules from the floppy, I get an error message: "unable to mount the rescue floppy", followed by "Floppy error! The attempt to extract the rescue floppy failed". I tried to mount it manually by launching a terminal and mounting /dev/fd0 but I got the message "/dev/fd0 is not a valid block device". I have read the help files on the rescue floppy, and I noticed that some extra parameters may be needed for Thinkpads. However, the default installation doesn't seem to let you add any parameters. If you add parameters it seems to think you're going for a ramdisk installation, which I'm not. I want to use the floppies (rescue floppy, driver floppy, plus 7 installation floppies) to install slink on the hard drive. Can anyone help?

problem with installation
Hi I'm new to the list - I've joined to get some help with installation! I have an IBM Thinkpad 360 with 12 meg RAM and 340 meg HDD. It only has a floppy drive so I downloaded the floppy images (for slink). I booted the rescue floppy and got as far as partitioning the hard drive and mounting the filesystem (I mounted /dev/hda1 on /, /dev/hda2 as swap, and /dev/hda3 on /usr). But when I get to install the kernel and modules, I get an error mounting the rescue floppy. I tried to mount it manually by firing up a console, but it told me "/dev/fd0 is not a valid block device". I did notice in the help pages on the rescue floppy that Thinkpads may need some extra parameters when booting, but if I try any of them it seems to think I'm going for a ramdisk option and asks me for a root floppy. Of course I'm trying to install to the hard drive, but it only seems to want to do that as the default installation, which doesn't seem to accept any parameters. Any ideas? I know a bit about GNU/Linux from other distributions but I'm new to Debian. Thanks, Jake

This is the exact same problem I get when trying to install Debian 2.1 from floppy images.

PPP connection can't find servers
Apologies if this has been posted before - I've only just subscribed. I'm in the process of a new debian installation via floppies and ppp. I'vegot to the point where it dials my ISP to get to the FTP server, but itnever connects to it and after a while the modem hangs up.I had this problem once on another machine, and the reason was no entries in/etc/resolv.conf. But both the nameservers are in there this time.I've tried pinging the loopback IP address, which works. But I can't pinganything else, not even the name servers.
Re: PPP connection can't find servers

system.kdeglobals - which package?
Howdy, I've wound up in a situation where I don't have the file /etc/kde3/system.kdeglobals for some reason (likely I lost it in that recent snafu with kdelibs4 postinst deleting it). The problem is I can't figure out how to get it back. It's not owned by anything (which one would expect of a conffile), but it also doesn't appear to be listed as a conffile for anything. Apparently it used to be a conffile from one of the kdelibs packages (kdelibs, kdelibs4, kdelibs-data, etc... don't remember which). So where does it come from, and more importantly, how do I get it back? (BTW, running Debian-unstable, originally installed from a testing mini-cd using d-i from 4/13/2004).

How does the new kernel work without running esd? I still stay away from esd because of the extra load.

Apache2 'SSLEngine on' not working in testing
Howdy, Yesterday I apt-get upgraded a web server to apache2 2.0.50-12 (it was ~1 week old, I think) and my SSL site isn't working anymore. I couldn't figure out what was wrong, so I purged everything I thought was relevant (apache2, apache2-common, apache2-mpm-prefork, libapr0, ssl-cert), rm'ed /etc/apache2, and reinstalled, using all new config files. I've got it listening on 0.0.0.0:443 in /etc/apache2/ports.conf, and my site in apache2/sites-enabled starts out like this: ServerName SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile/etc/apache2/ssl/-ssl.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/-ssl.key BrowserMatch "MSIE [1-4]" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \ downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 BrowserMatch "MSIE [5-9]" ssl-unclean-shutdown SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP I used /usr/share/apache2/config/default-443 as the template for it, and I used /usr/sbin/make-ssl-cert to make the certificate/key pair. That program actually outputs only one file, but it contains both the RSA PRIVATE KEY and the CERTIFICATE- I manually split them into two files.

shared address book
I've got a Debian-sarge box set up as a mail server, and I'm looking for users to share address books. I was hoping to use Thunderbird (Windows clients, btw), but its LDAP support is read only - I need read/write... or a simple way to add entries (ie: a separate program). How does one deploy shared read/write address books? I'm open to most any free/cheap solution, provided it'll work on Windows client-side.

Drag-and-drop actions broken for Firefox 122.0.1 under Wayland
I'm running Debian 12 (bookworm), using GNOME 43.9 under Wayland. I installed Firefox 122.0.1 from the Mozilla binaries as described on the Debian Wiki [1]. Drag-and-drop actions with Firefox seem to be broken under Wayland. For example, when I switch to Xorg, I can drag-and-drop links from Chromium to Firefox in order to open them in Firefox, and I can select multiple Firefox tabs (with Shift+click) and then drag them away from the tab bar in order to move them to a new window. These actions do nothing under Wayland. Since I've installed Firefox directly from Mozilla, I can't justify reporting this as a Debian bug. However, I'm curious if anyone running Debian sid (unstable) can reproduce this bug with the `firefox` package installed via the Debian APT repos. I've already reported this bug via Bugzilla [2]. If anyone can reproduce this issue with Firefox 122 under Wayland on any version of Debian, and you'd like to see it fixed, please add a comment on the Bugzilla issue (linked below) so that we can get this issue more visibility. Or, please let me know if there's some post-install configuration I need to do in order to fix drag-and-drop for Firefox 122 on Debian 12 under Wayland.

Thanx for any hints and comments. This is not a Debian/Linux thing. The problem is that nVidia TVOut sucks. See the latest article on tomshardware.com for more instances of this.

The deal is that new systems get /var/mail, and old systems get a /var/mail symlink to /var/spool/mail. All Debian packages are now to try to reference the spool as /var/mail, but the old configuration (/var/spool/mail) is fully supported. Is there somewhere that explains the reasoning behind this??
