Deb Installed? Now What?
I think that I completed an install ... but I don't know where to go from here. I actually think that I may have only installed a minimal package. No extra stuff. During the installation process I was asked about the locations of certain files and didn't have any idea of their locations. (I have the Official Debian 1.3.1 Binary and Source CD.) Does this mean that I haven't installed everything as lead to believer during the "dselect" phase? (when I selected "install all.") How do I go back and add the extras? If it is any help, what I intend on doing is having the Debian PC as a Mail and Proxy server and also a router to route to 1-2 other PC's on the home "pretend" network attached to a dialup Internet connection. (I currently have another PC attached via a hub and can ping the network from/to the Debian PC.) Thanks -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Debian install woes
Hi All, I'm trying to install Debian on some Dell 1750's and really need some guidance. As these machines ship with Fusion MPT scsi host adapters I replaced the kernel on the rescue floppy (none of the rescue kernel images recognised the MTP adapter) with the latest stable kernel (2.4.22) with MPT support compiled in. I reach the 'Install Kernel and Driver Modules' stage and it tells me it can use the CDROM to load the installable packages. I hit OK, it then tells me it can't load the rescue disk from the floppy. I've re-inserted the rescue disk after it wanted the ram disk image guessing that it would need it as the kernel to install. I use Alt-f2 to get a console up and tailed /var/log/messages, it's complaining about Mounting /dev/loop0 on /floppy failed: No such device I ensured the kernel I built had loop device compiled in as per the docs. I look at the contents of /dev and /dev/loop0 is there as is /floppy. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated enormously.

sound hell
hello, i'm currently running potato (upgraded from slink) and am finding it absolutely impossibe to get sound working. i've never had this problem w/ my last 2 debian machines. the only difference being those two had SB AWE64 cards, and this one has a SB PCI128. in the past i've always just downloaded and installed OSS w/ no problems. this time however, is different. it's given me a billion errors. i seem to have fixed most of them by downloading the kernel source (which wasn't there after the initial install), making some changes in xconfig, saving them and doing a 'make dep'. finally i've got it down to only one error during installatio of oss: *** 'sndshield' version error *** See /usr/lib/oss/Readme for more info. in which it mentions: This means that the "active" kernel sources have to be in /usr/src/linux. If compiling sndshield fails it usually means that you have installed, configured or compiled the kernel incorrectly. which they're not. fine. recompile time. yet, a good ways through "make bzImage" it dies w/ this: make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot' gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -E -D__BIG_KERNEL__ -traditional -DSVGA_MODE=NORMAL_VGA bootsect.S -o bbootsect.s as86 -0 -a -o bbootsect.o bbootsect.s make[1]: as86: Command not found make[1]: *** [bbootsect.o] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot' make: *** [bzImage] Error 2 grr.. so my question is: 1. am i just stupid? 2. am i making this way too complicated 3. is there an easier way? all of the HOWTO's end up mentioning "isapnptools" which does me no good since it's a PCI card. i'd be willing to do a re-install if i have to (btw, i got lazy and installed a preconfigured setup this time around. the "dialup machine" option, if that matters). i absolutely can NOT do w/o sound and afraid i'll have to wipe out this drive in favor of Corel this weekend (damn it! why can't debian adopt corel's "sound_setup" program. it works so nicely!), which i really don't wanna do. so if anyone has ANY suggestions, i'd be SO grateful. thanks in advance, james
Re: sound hell
I LOVE YOU! heh, well, no. but seriously. after installing bin86, the kernel did, indeed compile correctly. after many tries, the soundcard still wouldn't work (i did select sound support for Ensoniq pci 97... the chipset for my card). i swapped it w/ a SB AWE64 i had in another machine and xconfig'ed again and selected support for it and, upon reboot, it worked fine. though, nothing i did w/ my PCI 128 ever worked. does anyone have a success story for this card? perhaps i still did something wrong(?) well, as a last resort i installed OSS again which WAS a asuccess w/ the PCI 128 card w/o any probs. so, while not a perfect solution (i'd rather have it compiled into the kernel), i have sweet, sweet sound emanating from my speakers, nonetheless. so, while i'm here, i have one last thing until this whole setup is perfect. does anyone know about the current support for USB devices? i have an Epson Stylus Color 740 w/ USB i'm trying to get to work. though no luck so far. can't find a HOWTO for the life of me on this. thanks again, james On Fri, Mar 31, 2000 at 10:36:44PM -0500, Sean Johnson wrote: > apt-get install bin86 > > Sean > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null > >

RE: DHCP and Adelphia Cablemodem (dhcpcd)
Oh, it's definitely fast enough. I have a Pentium90 at home and it works fine. I have heard an anecdote used before, saying a 2.2.x kernel with ipchains MASQing on a 486 50mhz with 4meg-8meg of RAM can saturate a T1 line (1.544 Mbps). I don't know the validity to it and haven't really been interested enough to look up any statistics or benchmarks. - James -Original Message- From: Michael Patterson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 11:51 AM To: Raghavendra Bhat Cc: Debian List Subject: RE: DHCP and Adelphia Cablemodem (dhcpcd) [Snipped suggestion to compile in CONFIG_FILTER] This worked. It worked really well. DHCP now appears to work with one minor problem-- It appears that the DNS isn't being caught by the DHCP-Client.

It's sad that I actually had a quick debate with myself if that could really be the cause. :) The cablemdoem is still exhibiting the speed problem (really slow connection, then eventually drops conenction until power cycled). My first question is: My Debian system is a 200Mhz Pentium, not running any form of X. Is it fast enough to keep up with the cablemodem? Maybe this is the bottleneck? If so, how fast SHOULD the machine be to keep up? Secondly, could someone point me to a set of tools I can use to debug this problem? I'm currently on hold with the cable company, but I'm willing to bet that they won't have a clue what the problem could be (and will get scared off if I mention Linux..)

Can't login as root
Hello I think I have just done something really inept which seems to have made my Debian system useable details as follows: 1/ Login as root working in the -/- directory. 2/ While using chmod to change permissions on a file accidentally hit the return key when I had only written -chmod R 777 /- Youve guessed it every file on the system was given a 777 permission level. 3/ Logout and login as a user everything seems OK 4/ Logout and tried to login as root and got the following error -incorrect login- 5/ Did a hard off/on restart of the system (user account not allowed to shutdown-). On rebooting gdm and ssh (prime suspect?) failed to start -incorrect permissions-. 6/ System returns -incorrect login- error when trying to login as root- but will allow a user login. 7/ The problem cant login as root, user account does not have enough privileges to do any thing meaningful (which seems strange since everything on the system now has 777 permissions). How do I get my system back? I have had quick look in the Debian achieves but cant spot anything similar so any pointers would be gratefully received.

Re: SPARC Station 5: how to find out what's the HW configuration?
Thus spake Erik Steffl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > I have a SPARC Station 5 with debian installed. It works fairly well, the > problem is I have no info about the HW configuration (I got it on sort of > garage sale from company going out of business (or moving, I am not sure > which)). Good rescue. The config defaults in any recent 2.2 series kernel (definitely go with 2.2.19) should be sane, you'll probably want to build some things as modules instead and remove some of the higher end defaults that do not pertain to your setup and/or needs. SS5's come with the following: a TI MicroSPARC II 70, 85, or 110 MHz or a Fujitsu TurboSPARC 170Mhz. It takes 8 MB or 32 MB fast page mode 5V, 168 pin JEDEC DIMMs, 8 slots for a total of 256MB. Can accept two 50pin (narrow) SCA hard disks using a special drive sled. Be careful though, things can get very toasty in there if you use modern speedy disks. A fast SCSI HBA (aka scsi2). Should be an ESP(something), they use an NCR chip, usually NCR53C9XF. The audio is a CS4231 chip, you may need a special cable to use this, I forget. The NIC should be a sunlance, which is a 10bt. Some systems may sport a SunSwift card. This gives you another SCSI bus and ethernet interface. There's many framebuffers for this and any other sbus sparc. You'll probably have a TGX or GX. Hope this helps. I can elaborate further, if ya need it. -- James <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 1024D/62C2F77D uri: http://oneiros.darkspire.net/ EBB8 AF14 8C43 2F12 7623 irc: EFnet / opn / tietnet C0AA C0AE 56D4 62C2 F77D
Mail Client Help
Please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] because I don't have this email address subscribed to the list, and I can't check my subscribed address without messing anything up at the moment. I am having trouble finding a mail client that can do these things: - Allow more than one identity, and to choose what identity is used when composing and replying to mail - Choose a different SMTP server for each identity - Filter mail on Subject, From, X-Loop, X-Been-There and the body of the mail - Allow to bounce HTML messages - Allow to bounce spam to sender - Check all identities' email accounts separately as well as all at once - Put each identity's mail in separate inboxes So far KMail is the winner, but allowing different SMTP servers for each identity seems to be impossible, and I am having trouble getting KDE for my Debian 2.2r4 Potato anyway. Balsa is excellent but buggy as hell, and crashes with Windows EXE attachments (segfaults). Mutt is way too hard to use and I can't figure out the command to set it up anyway. I type ? for help and I see nothing about setting it up. How do I write muttrc files? Is this what I need to set it up the way I want it? Thanks, James

Mouse and X problems
Hello I am trying to to install Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 rev 2 non US on to Compaq Professional Workstation 5000 (system outline below). So far I have managed to successfully install the basic Debian system. But I need to recompile the kernel to take advantage the systemy?s dual processors on trying to do this I discovered that ?make? and ?xconfig? had not been installed. I try to fix this by using ?tasksel -s? to upgrade the basic Debian system to a standard system (ok I admit it I dony?t want to spend time trawling through ?dselect? looking for the right packages). During the install process I was given a number of new mouse options to choose from. I probably got this badly wrong because it seems to have led to the following problems: Mouse problem- On rebooting mouse cursor is now either stationary in the middle of the screen or shoots uncontrollably all over the screen with the slightest movement of the mouse. Cany?t get ?man? pages- Using the keyboard I managed to get an ?xterm? up but was unable to display any ?man? pages the error message was ?man: can?t create a temporary filename: Permission denied? at the time I was logged in as root. X became very unstable- If I tried to run ?mc?, ?gmc? or ?xmseconfig? X would hang. General X question- Is there any method in which you can reboot a system with out it automatically booting X? I would be very grateful if any one could give me a suggestion as to what to do next. Look forward to receiving any helpful pointers.

Webmin install problem might be openssl or hostname
Hello I have posted this problem to the debian user list because I suspect that this is a system rather than a webmin problem. Currently I am trying to install Debian (Testing) on a Compaq Professional Workstation 5000 (P-Pro SMP) the goal being to set it up as a headless print server for a home network. In order to remotely administer this server I have been trying to install webmin (via aptitude) but unfortunately I have been getting the following error message: Setting up webmin (1.130-1) ... miniserv.pem: No such file or directory hostname: Unknown host I understand that openssl generates the 'miniserv.pem' and as far as I can tell it is installed and working fine. Also when I run the hostname command I get: chopin which is the hostname I gave the computer during initial set-up. It would be great if some knowledgeable person please point out the blindingly obvious error I am making here. Any useful pointers gratefully received.

X hangs system on log out
Hello About a week ago I posted this problem on the debian-laptop list, unfortunately I received no response so I am having a 2nd try with this posting on both the laptop & the debian-user lists. Also I suspect that this might be a generic nvidia problem. Recently I have noticed that whenever I log-out from kde or gnome, or run 'shutdown -r (or -h) now' or even try the kill X by using Ctrl+Alt+Backspace the screen goes blank and the whole system appears to hang. System Details (or rather what I think is relevant) - Dell Inspiron 2650 P4, 32MB GeForce2 Go Kernel 2.6.3 Debian (testing/unstable), xserver-xfree86 v4.3.0-7 xserver-common v4.3.0-7 nvidia-glx v1.0.5336-6 (probably earlier when problem started) nvidia-kernel-common v1.0.5336-1 (probably earlier when problem started) nvidia-kernel-source v1.0.5336-6 (probably earlier when problem started) As far as I can tell the problem started as a result of a standard 'Upgrade system' using Synaptic, which installed an upgraded version of nvidia-kernel-common & nvidia-kernel-source. I made the new nvidia module and installed it but did not reboot. Later when I noticed the problem I upgraded all the nvidia & xserver bits to unstable in an attempt to solve the problem but this did not work. I can spot nothing in the syslog or XFree86.0.log (or any log for that matter) that gives me a clue as to what the problem is, it looks as if the system just stops. Any useful pointers as to what might be causing this would be gratefully received.

So if it were me and I had the netinst.iso or CD-1, I would do a minimal reinstall on your two target disks and have ignore your 320 GB drive, BUT I also don't have any experience of verifying how to get a new install to find an existing LVM. So read lots of man pages, and consider backing up your data to a tarball on either a raw device or a file on a filesystem, either way to that 320GB drive. Either way, read the raid HOWTOs and the LVM HOWTO. I have found setting up LVM from http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ quite simple. I am using reiserfs, which isn't ideal from the point of view of error resilience (apparently it won't remap bad sectors), but it is easy and quick to resize.

That will force exim to run its queue and ignore retry times and thaw frozen messages. What happens is when exim notices a host is down, it will not try to send to that host again until its retry time has passed. -- James Richardson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

old software
I installed Debian7 but it has old software. I manually installed LibreOffice-4.4 (LibreOffice-3 was the default).

The system has an nVidia graphics card (this has previously been mentioned on the list, in thread(s) to try to get Debian 7 to display on the external monitor).

You could install package gimp-plugin-registry.
Among many other things, it adds batch processing to GIMP.

Under tab 'Resize' you can enter either scale factor or absolute size.

Acroread not displaying menu text
Hello I am experiencing a problem with acroread (Acobat reader)v.4.05-5 on what I believe is a typical Debian GNU/Linux 3 (Woody/Testing) system running on a Compaq Professional Workstation 5000 (P-Pro SMP). Acroread does not display any menu text at all (just gray line boxes where the text should be) and when it is started from an xterm the following error message is displayed: Warning: charset of fontList (ISO10646-1) does not match locale (ISO8859-1). I suspect this has come about because recently I had to change the user and root locales to ISO8859-1 (using dpkg-reconfigure locales)to enable recent releases of multi-gnome-terminal (currently v1.3.13) to run on my system. Reluctantly (because ISO8859-1 seems to be ideal for a UK based Debian box) I tried to set both the user and root locales to ISO10646-1. But this option is not available using dpkg-reconfigure locales. My system does have the following relevant looking file: /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/ISO_10646.gz But so far I have been unable to discover if it can be used to change the locales. I would be grateful for any suggestions on how to sort this problem out, since I need to use acroread to read work related docs.

When in fact the solution was literally sitting in front of me on my desktop. Anyway lesson learn't for next time (hopefully) and thanks for the advice and suggestions. Further to the comments wondering why I was using arcoread considering the recent legal behavior of Adobe (looking at the above I probably should stop using their fonts). Unfortunately part of my work is checking pdfs created by Adobe distiller to be principally viewed using Adobe Acrobat reader. This involves checking the bookmark tree and the thumbnail images which I understand can not be viewed on any current Linux pdf viewer. If and when a viewer became available with these features (Xpdf looks encouraging) I would be only too happy to change. James -- Personalised email by http://another.com
Setting up a DHCP connection
Hello My work is currently organizing the installation of a broadband internet connection (via a digital set top box) into my home. The intention being that it will be mainly used to network a company Windose laptop. The installation technician saw my Debian box (Woody on a Compaq Professional Workstation 5000 PPro SMP) and mentioned that that although they don't officially support Linux if I could get a DHCP connection up and running through my ethernet card I could probable connect my Debian box on to their network. Following this I did some research in the documentation and mail archives at Debian and the Linux Documentation Project. Both these places have lots of networking information but none of it seems to tell you directly how to set-up a DHCP connection on a Debian box. I would be very grateful if anyone could give me some pointers as to how to set-up DHCP or a good source of information on the subject.

Setting up ntl cable modem/DHCP?
Hi I think I could be tantalisingly close to getting a cable modem up and running with my Debian box (Woody on a Compaq Professional Workstation 5000 PPro SMP) if I could just get my DHCP client to talk to my cable operator's DHCP server. The story so far: *Cable Modem side - My cable operator is ntl (England, SE London/Kent) I know that the line in to my home, the set top box (Pace DITV-1000 Phase 1b) and the cat5 UTP (crossover) cable to my Debian box is working. This is because an ntl installation technician has connected to the service using his laptop. When I have tried to connect my Debian box I know the service is available because of the info on the user information screen I can display on my TV. *My Debian Box - I believe that my Ethernet card is set-up OK because when using dmesg | more I can find: ThunderLAN driver v1.14a TLAN: eth0 irq=20, io=1400, Compaq Netelligent Integrated 10/100 TX UTP, Rev. 16 TLAN: 1 device installed, PCI: 1 EISA: 0 Also when I run ifconfig I get: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:5F:C1:55:40 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:27288 errors:8 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:8 TX packets:35281 errors:26 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:26 collisions:1536 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:3840126 (3.6 MiB) TX bytes:3130668 (2.9 MiB) Interrupt:20 Base address:0x1400 lo Link encap:Local Loopback UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:9195 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:9195 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:3010625 (2.8 MiB) TX bytes:3010625 (2.8 MiB) For what its worth I am also getting a solid green and flashing amber LEDs on the card, unfortunately I don't have a home network or other Ethernets devices I can use to test it. The DHCP client software I am using is chcp3-client v3.0+3.0.1r when I run the dhclient command I get the following: Listening on LPF/eth0/00:80:5f:c1:55:40 Sending on LPF/eth0/00:80:5f:c1:55:40 Listening on LPF/lo/ Sending on LPF/lo/ Sending on Socket/fallback DHCPDISCOVER on lo to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4 DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3 DHCPDISCOVER on lo to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4 DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11 DHCPDISCOVER on lo to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10 DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 12 DHCPDISCOVER on lo to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 21 DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11 DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 DHCPDISCOVER on lo to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 12 DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11 DHCPDISCOVER on lo to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6 No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. Tried the dhclient -s option on the two ntl DNS address' listed in DHCP mini-HOWTO and the STB IP addr of my box but still no joy. Ntl do not officially support Linux and getting any form of in-depth technical information out of them is almost impossible. But the DHCP mini-HOWTO and anecdotal evidence from a conversation with the ntl installation technician (unfortunately he don't know how) indicate that a Linux box can be connected. I would be very grateful if anyone could give me some pointers as to what I am missing or getting wrong. Thanks in advance James -- Personalised email by http://another.com

epson printer dilemma
I have a dilemma regarding setting up my Epson 640 printer. If I use the magicfilter filterset, I get good fast printing in 360dpi mode, but the 720 and 720x1440 filters don't work. No output appears. On the other hand if I use apsfilter, I have all the resolutions available but the 360dpi mode is seriously slow. What I'd really like to be able to do is to use the apsfilter drivers for high quality printing and the magicfilter stuff for ordinary text printing but the dependencies won't let me do that (though looking at the printcap files there doesn't seem to be any good reason why the two systems can't coexist).

Dialup utmp entires (pon)
Hi, Everytime I used to dialup on my system using pon, the system would create a utmp entry for the user 'dialout'. I could then see the number of times and length of dialup sessions by using the command sac. I'm no longer able to do this as it doesn't record these entries anymore. How am I able to log dialup sessions like I used to ? cheers James -- - -Zero Defect Software Engineers Group - ZDSEG - -You need only two tools.

Disk corruption on crash
Hi, I've just had a system crash (possibly a power glitch), and one of my disks seems corrupted. >From dmesg (or /var/log/syslog): Partition check: hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4 < hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 hda9 hda10 hda11 hda12 > hde: hde1 hde2 hde3 hdf: hdf1 hdf2 hdf3 hdf4 < > hdg: hdg1 hdg2 hdf should have two logical partitions hdf5 and hdf6, which are not found. Naturally fsck gets very upset about this when it tries to verify them before mounting. However more worrying is that if I try to fdisk the disk (I do have tape backups) it complains that it cannot seek. (cfdisk also fails). Is there any tool in Debian (or even outside of it) that can at least format this disk or is it a case of bin the disk and restore to a new one?

moving boot drive around and lilo
Hello, I recently had to move my hda drive to hde and now I can't figure out how to reinstall lilo so it knows to boot off hdie instead of hda1. If I boot off a floppy I can mount hde1 (mount /dev/hde1 /mnt) and see all my system files. I then modified /mnt/etc/lilo.conf to say: disk=/dev/hde bios=0x80 boot=/dev/hde root=/dev/hde1 Then I enter the command: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/lib /mnt/sbin/lilo -r /mnt And i get the error: sh: /lib/ld_linux.so.2: version 'GLIBC_PRIVATE' not found (required by /mnt/lib/libc.so.6) So, any help to get lilo reinstalled so I can boot off hde would be great.

So, um, why boot=/dev/hda rather than boot=/dev/hde? Because I thought that boot= indicates where you want the boot loader to be installed? Shouldn't I install the boot loader on my first drive? if i don't have it there then my system just hangs and does nothing at all after it displays cpu, memory etc (standard bios screen). My drive at hda was completely blank when i put it there so it had no mbr. should i run lilo twice, once for hda and then once for hde? ttyl, james -- Time flies like an arrow.

want to install testing distribution on Intel system using network install CD
I am new to Debian and a relative novice with Linux. I want to install the testing distribution on an IBM Pentium II (model 6285-66U, 384 ram, plenty of disk space, 4MB S3 on the motherboard). How I use my current network install CD (which defaults to stable) to install the testing distribution? I've tried editing the sources list, changing "stable" to "testing" on each line, but my success has been only partial. The main purpose for this machine will be a file server (including Samba) inside my firewall, but I would like to be able to use the computer as a workstation occasionally. I've successfully installed the stable distribution over the internet, but I haven't figured out how to get the X server working. I understand that the testing distribution includes newer versions of XFree86 that support the S3 chipset I have. When I run startx on my stable install, the error message says that the file doesn't exist, but I have been able to run through the configuration program and view output file. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

lame file.wav file.mp3
Add the '--decode' option to go in the opposite direction. I have a
perl script that will do a directory at a time, like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Getopt::Std;
getopts("d:");
if($opt_d) {
$dirname = $opt_d;
}
else {
$dirname = ".";
}
opendir(DIR, $dirname) or die "can't opendir $dirname: $!";
while (defined($file = readdir(DIR))) {
$newfile = $file . ".mp3";
$newfile =~ s/\.wav//;
`lame $dirname/$file $dirname/$newfile`;
}
closedir(DIR);
