Again, thanks! The only thing is you have 64 megs of swap on each drive. This is a total of 256 megs. Linux will not make use of more than 128 megs, unless you're running a 2.2.x kernel. I'd suggest making each swap partition 16 megs, for a total of 64. This would suit you just fine, unless you will have lots of memory hogging apps running. In that case, I'd make each 32 megs, for a total of 128 megs. Jeremy --- email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp key : http://www.blueriver.net/~darqside/pgpkey.asc

problems w/pppd 2.3.7
Last night, I ran "apt-get dist-upgrade" before I went to sleep. When I got up today, I logged in and tried to execute "pon". I received an error, which I think had something to do with .ppprc. This file didn't exist, so I did 'touch .ppprc' to create it. Also, I had to make pppd setuid root again. Now, only root can run pon, even though my users are in the dip group.

I'm having trouble with my NIC
I have an old 486SX25 with 16MB of RAM and a SMC 8013WC NIC, which worked under the 2.0.36 kernel, but when I upgraded to potato, WD.O tells me that there is no card installed. When I boot back into DOS and run the config utility, it says that the EEPROM was trashed and rewrites it. I downloaded and tried the wdsetup utility, but it doesn't find the card either. Any suggestions? I completely erased, repartitioned, and reformatted my hard drives before upgrading, so there was nothing left that could be interfering. Thanks for your help, Jeremy

I can't really say whether your CD ROM is supposed to be hdb or hdc,
because it depends on how it's set up in your system, but I encountered
this error as well. For me, it was only happening on one CD, which
happened to be the first in the 3 CD set of potato. I foundthat it was a
problem with how I had burned the CD the first time, and so I made
another and haven't had the problem since. I don't know if it's happening
with a CD you made yourself or not, but it's only a thought.

(perhaps I'm not doing it right, but I seem to have to start up the window manager seperately when I do that) That allows you to start a new X session in a window within your current one. "man Xnest" for details. My other method is that I have startx aliased to "startx -- :1" for my root account, so if I need a root X session, I can just pop open an xterm, su to root, type startx, and it automatically starts a new X session in the next display (F8) I then can switch between the two like normal (Ctrl+Alt+Fn), and when I exit it, it automatically drops me back to my other X display.

Problem w/ linking to /etc/X11/X

Problem upgrading X

Dselect vs. apt-get... thank you!
This isn't a question, but a 'thank you' to whoever it was that mentioned in one of the posts sometime this week about doing a dist-upgrade with dselect instead of apt-get dist-upgrade. I'd been trying to upgrade to Woody for about 3 weeks without any success by using the apt-get method. After I read someones suggestion on using Dselect instead (because of it catching the recommends and suggests), I tried it out, and lo and behold it worked! Finally!!

Kernel Rebuild
I'm new to the idea of rebuilding my kernel for including or excluding things in my configuration, but I decided to brave it today and was (fairly) successful. I'm having a little bit of a problem, though. I need both the UMDA66 and the SMP features. I have the potato 2.2r2 installation CD set (the first 3, not the sources), and I'm currently using the UMDA66 kernel (2.2.18pre21) to access my extra hard drives that are on a Promise ATA/66 card. I tried building a new kernel with SMP, but I found that in doing so, I can't seem to include the UMDA66 options that are in the original kernel. Before the new kernel, I had ide0, 1, 2, and 3, but now 2 and 3, which are on the card, aren't found. I know that I could probably just build an SMP module (or perhaps I'm wrong on that) to load in with the original kernel, but I really want to be able to delve into the world of kernel configuration and really make it my own at some point after I'm a bit more comfortable with it. Does anyone know what I need to do in order to include the UMDA66 features in on a custom kernel? Any and all help is appreciated! Jeremy
USR modem problems
I recently purchased a USR internal 56k PCI modem (model 3CP5610A), but I've had no luck getting it working on my woody box. In the instructions in the box, it tells me that to get it working with linux, I need kernel 2.3 or above. "Good time to upgrade!" I thought, and I went for the 2.4.6 kernel. I did a little research on in the debian-user archives, and found some suggestions of enabling ISA plug-n-play, and also changing some serial settings within the kernel config. After doing these things, I still can't seem to get anything to identify my modem. Under *cough* Winders *cough*, it's on COM port 5. I enabled the "Many Serial Ports" option in the kernel after I found this out, but to no avail. No matter what COM port I try, it doesn't seem to find it. dmesg gives me something about (I'm not at my box right now... I'm at work) finding a serial board and right under it lists /dev/tty4 with an IRQ. I thought this was my modem, so I tried connecting to it in minicom, but I couldn't get it to show up. One thing I found strange about using minicom, though, was that it said "online" in the bottom right corner. I'd try to tell it to hang up, and it would do it for about 1 second, and then it would go back to online. I'm sorry that I don't have exact error messages with me right now, but if any of this sounds familiar to anyone and you have suggestions, please let me know.

Re: Modem problems after kernel upgrade (long, w/ Radeon VE sidenote)
Dang it all... I went and forgot my Radeon sidenote. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has gotten the ATI Radeon VE video card (AGP) working with X. (preferably 4.0.3). Anytime I try to use it, I get broken server connection messages. Any suggestions? TIA, Jeremy

I'm not sure how well this will pertain to you, but if it were me, I'd just run the apt-get update, and then apt-get install your_package_here, and let it do it's thing. If you've already downloaded it and it matches what's on the source you're retrieving it from, it won't download again. (when you apt-get stuff, it usually keeps it in /var/cache/apt/archives, so that's probably where it's looking for it) So, either that, or like Mr. Zimmerman said, and use dpkg if it's in a non-standard location. Hope it helps, Jeremy

My serial devices are ttyS[0-3] (1 digit only, not 2). I > tried using setserial to assign the irq, and i/o to ttyS1, but setserial said > the recources were in use. Hi! I just went through this myself a few weeks ago with the exact same modem. I found, actually, you can do this two ways. Even though it says differently in the instructions that came with the modem, you can get the modem working with the 2.2.x series kernels. (using the method you tried with setserial) It works perfectly that way. But, since you already have the 2.4.x kernel, then all you have to do is create a new ttySX device and run the setserial on that. (I had the same problem after upgrading the kernel in that it wouldn't allow me to use the ttyS* devices already there. I never did figure that one out). So, just: cd /dev MAKEDEV ttyS4 (yes, MAKEDEV has to be in caps) setserial /dev/ttyS4 uart 16550A port 0xdff0 irq 11 Then just point your ppp configuration (whether you use pon or wvdial or whatever) to the /dev/ttyS4 device file, and *poof* you should be online! If it works, then all you have to do is add the setserial line (minus the actual "setserial" command) in your /etc/serial.conf file, and then it's configured for you each time you boot. Truthfully, as far as the system saying that it's assigned to ttyS04, I don't know why it says that and then the file's not in /dev. If someone knows why and can show either of us how to use this to our advantage in setting up the modem, I'd love to hear it. Good luck! Jeremy
Fetchmail question
While downloading my email via fetchmail this evening, when it was trying to get the first message from my mail server, I got an error message that said "nameserver failure while looking for 'neutral.verbum.org' during polling of [my.mail.server]. I would just assume that my mail server was inaccessable if mine were the neutral.verbum.org, but it's not. That's what has me perplexed. Why would this show up if it's not my mail server? (as a side note, the message it couldn't retrieve was one from the debain-devel mailing list, but I didn't see that server listed anywhere in there, either) Thanks for any help, Jeremy
[OT] Power supply specs
Heloo, all... I'm looking around for a new case to replace my current one, and in looking at the power supplies that come with them, I've noticed that a number of them say that they are "AMD approved". I was wondering if this means that they cannot be used with a P3. (I'm wondering the same about ones that say they're P4 ready) I have a dual P3 mobo, and I just want to make sure that I get a power supply that works with my current setup. Thanks for your time, Jeremy

I don't know how this will fair with the ATA/100, but I have a ATA/66 card that I had the same problem with a couple months back. What I ended up having to do was to dig down into the first CD and find the directory for the UMDA stuff. In there you will find root and boot images, along with driver images. I just booted off the CD, brought up a console, used 'dd' to write the root and boot images to floppies, and then rebooted with the two disks I made. This identified my ATA card and I was able to install to it just fine. I hope this helps you out. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Jeremy
ide-scsi device question
I recently enabled the ide-scsi option in my kernel (and set it up so that lilo started it for the right devices) for my cd burner. I also have the generic scsi driver in there. My burner BURNS just fine, but I was wondering what the new device file name is that refers to the device. I'm mainly just looking for the pattern it adheres to. I can't seem to mount anything in my burner or in my regular cdrom drive because the /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd are no longer valid for those devices. I thought it was something like /dev/scd0, but I tried several /dev/sd* and scd* files, but none of them worked. (unless there's one that I'm missing and not trying) Thanks, Jeremy
CD device file problem and kernel questions
Hello all! I'm having a problem with accessing my CD drive, and I was hoping to possibly get a little insight into the situation. Basically the situation is that I have an IDE CD-RW drive, but I can't get much to find it. Normally it would be /dev/hdc, but I have the ide-scsi option (append="hdc=ide-scsi") in my lilo.conf file, so supposedly it is now associated with another device file. I've pretty much read (and been told) that it's supposed to be /dev/scd0, but when I try to mount it, I get: mount: /dev/scd0: unknown device Yet, I DO have device files scd0-16 listed in /dev. If I try to mount it at it's old hdc spot, I get this: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file systems (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?) Also, if I try to burn a CD on this drive with readcd or cdrecord, it gives me this error: Copy from file '/backup/disk1.raw' to SCSI (0,0,0) disk end: 1 readcd: Input/output error. write_g0: scsi sendcmd: no error CDB: 0A 00 00 00 01 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 03 00 00 00 00 0C 00 00 00 00 90 82 00 00 Sense Key: 0x3 Medium Error, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x90 Qual 0x82 (vendor unique sense code 0x90) [No matching qualifier] Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 0.008s timeout 40s readcd: Input/output error. Cannot write destination disk Now, all of this would tell me that for whatever reason, something's not finding my CD-RW drive, yet if I run readcd with the correct parameters, it will read a CD to a file just fine. I have a feeling that my major problem lies somewhere in my kernel configuration. I roll my own, and I'm currently running a custom 2.4.7 with Sid. (yeah, I know... that's just asking for trouble) I have ide-scsi and generic scsi both in my kernel, but they're included as modules. Should these be built into the kernel itself? While I'm at it, what sort of things should or shouldn't be built as modules? As an example, I've read that if I want DRI working with my ATI RadeonVE card, then I need to have this as a module and NOT built into the kernel. (which I still haven't gotten the DRI working with that either... yet) Okay, well if I keep going, I'll just start rambling on in my sleepy state, so I'd better go. Thanks for any help in advance, jeremy

I took a look at it, and that is what I had done. The part where I am having problems is here: "Now my CD drive is no longer /dev/hdb. It has become /dev/scd0. However, my /dev/cdrom still points to /dev/hdb. Trying to mount my CD drive now will fail. I must now make /dev/cdrom point to /dev/scd0." I have tried this (although mine should be on /dev/hdc) but my problem is that no scd* devices come up and say that it has successfully mounted. They all give me the same error I posted last night. Should it definitely be one of the scd* devices, or could it be something else? I also did a check in dmesg to see if that had any pointers, but it just lists my drive under /dev/hdc and then later on tells me it's now seen as a scsi device (which my /proc info confirms) Thanks, Jeremy

Re: Strange system lockups.
Unfortunately I don't have anything to add as a suggestion, but I just wanted to say that I've had this same problem. For me, I don't have a remote way into my box, so I have no way of killing whatever process may be doing this, but just recently I had this happen upon opening my email and it corrupted most of my email directory. I also had it happen while I was bunzip2ing my new kernel source, and the resulting tar file was corrupt. Both times I had to do a hard reboot (ala power switch) to get any results. One thing I've noticed, though, was that even though the hard light was on, there wasn't actually any sound of activity coming from the drive. Just my pennies worth of info... Jeremy

Problems with boot after vid. card switcharoo
Greetings, I have both Potato and Sid on my box. When I have to go into X on Potato, I have to pull out my Radeon VE card and put in my TNT2 since that's what works with X in Potato. This used to work fine, but I ran into a snag tonight. After the switch, I booted up into Potato, and all of a sudden the boot process just froze at the spot where it identifies my ide0 and ide1 channels, but it doesn't get as far as identifying my hard drive. At first I swore this was somethin with my hd, but after switching back to my Radeon card, everything worked fine. I switched out a couple more times just to make sure it wasn't some fluke, and sure enough, if I had my TNT2 card in, it stopped there every time. I even tried booting off of the installation CD for Potato, (because i was going to try a quick and dirty install of it to a new partition just for kicks) and that did it each time, too. So my question is this. Why would a video card switch make bootup die at the part where it identifies my ide channels or hard drives? My reason for going through all this is because I needed to install a program under Potato that requires libc6 2.0 or 2.1. Evidentally 2.2 doesn't work with this particular program (CorelDRAW 9, if anyone has any experience with that one) Is there some way to possibly have 2 version of libc6 installed? (Yeah, I know it's a kludge, but I'm desperate to get this thing working) Thanks in advance, Jeremy
Remounting / read-only
Howdy group! I was wondering how I'm supposed to remount root readonly. From what I can figure I'm supposed to issue the command "mount -o remount,ro /", but I only get a "mount: / is busy" message. I've tried it without the comma between remount and ro, and it seems to go through okay, but I'm not 100% sure that it's now read-only. How can I check on this? If I just type mount, I see all the options that are given in my fstab, but not what the current status is (rw or ro) on any given mount point. If it helps, I was thinking it would be best to make a backup of / with it as ro so that no data is changed during the backup process and keep from corrupting any data. (Also, a particular program I want to try out [partimage] requires it to be mounted ro.) Thanks for any help! Jeremy
[OT] How to rsync images?
Greetings! I've read that if I've downloaded a CD image and the MD5sum is wrong, then I can use rsync to just get the parts that are different from the remote file. I've read through the rsync manpage, but I still don't quite understand how I'm supposed to use the command. As an example, if there were to be an image at ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/iso/potato-1.iso (I know there's not, but I just need a "for instance") then from what I've gathered, I'd use the command: rsync -avz ftp.debian.org:pub/iso/potato-1.iso potato-1.iso When I use this, though, I get timeout errors. I know this can't be right, but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to do it. Could anyone offer any help with this please? I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks a bunch, Jeremy

Way OT: getting values of list of variables

Error files in /

So I did 'apt-get update' after changing my sources.list file to point to the testing ftp, and after that I did 'apt-get -u dist-upgrade' Everything downloaded fine, but when it went to install the packages it downloaded, right after it finished running the package scan of all the packages to be installed or upgraded, I got this error: Template parse error near "" at /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/DebConf/Template.pm line 102, chunk 3. (in cleanup) Can't call method "DESTROY" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/DebConf/Question.pm line 251, line 3 during global destruction. E: Sub-process /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt returned an error code (29) E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt After it gives me this error, it dumps me back out at the command prompt. Does anyone have any idea what this might mean what what I might be able to do to get apt-get to dist-upgrade?

fetchmail, procmail, and bad mbox formats
I just recently got fetchmail and procmail working together with ssmtp to bring my pop email to my machine and throw it into an mbox. The problem I'm having, though, is that with MUAs like Mutt and Pine are saying that the format of the mbox the procmail is dumping to is bad. Is there something that has to be set with procmail to make this look like a normal mbox? If not, are there any ideas as to what may be wrong? (if I 'less' the mbox file, all the emails are in there, but I don't really want to read them that way) TIA, Jeremy __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

msttcorefonts_1.8_all.deb
I am brand spankin' new to linux and it's world--don't know much about it really, but am trying to get debian installed along side an old win95 installation on an old laptop. according to specifications, it will go on my machine. however, the two different cd image files i've downloaded apparently have the same problem. The installation stops, and when cd integrity is checked, the file named above "failed the md5 checksum verification." Any help in getting in to this is much apperciated. Thank you.

Freetype Hinting
Does anyone know if it's possible to enable the bytecode hinting in freetype2 on a debian system? As I understand, this was disabled by default because of patent issues. I could remove the library package (libfreetype6) and manually compile to get the hinting enabled, but that is going to mess up my apt stuff, right? Maybe there's an alternate debian package for libfreetype6 that has the superior hinting enabled? Or perhaps there's another way to mess with these settings?

Grub and /dev/hdg: Need help please
I'm new to using grub for booting my OS's. I recently bought a new HD, and I've dedicated that one to Linux and left Windows 2000 on the old one. The new HD is /dev/hda. I have a Zip100 on hdb, my dvd-rom on hdc, and my cd burner on hdd. I have a ATA card installed that the old HD is attached to (along with a couple of other HDs that aren't booted, but just used for storage), and it winds up being /dev/hdg, with Windows on hdg1. I've edited my /boot/grub/device.map file so that it looks like this: (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hda (hd1) /dev/hdg I thought that perhaps this would map correctly to the drive I want to boot. Then my menu.lst file has this entry for Windows 2000 title Windows 2000 rootnoverify (hd1,1) chainloader +1 But when I choose this at the bootup screen, I get "Error 25: Disk Read Error". Is it possible to boot Windows from where it is? I'm mainly trying to avoid having to reinstall it. I don't have to 3 hours to spare right now to reinstall and reconfigure it so that it's back fairly close to it's current state. I've tried looking at various tutorials online, as well as the info page for grub, but I've had no luck in getting this to work.

ipchains not logging to syslog
Has anyone experienced an issue with ipchains not logging via syslog? The log info for the packets that should be logged is output to the first VT, but this is hardly convenient as the machine is put up in a closet.

The default policy for the input chain is ACCEPT, however, there are individual rules for packets that I want allowed, then there's a default "catch-all" at the end of the input chain which should log everything that isn't allowed. The packet logs never make it to the loghost however.

The key set is all messed up(ie, I type j and another character comes up and F7 is backspace,etc). However, if I find a way to get into X, all the keys work fine. Also, the mouse is not properly working in X either. All I get is a black box in place of the pointer and some error messages about detecting the mouse. I am wondering if it has to do with the motherboards mouse and keyboard ps/2 ports. I am also wondering if upgrading the kernel will do anything.

Re: Mounting SMB FS
Try leaving out the fs in mount -t smbfs. So it would be "mount -t smb //server/resource /mountPoint." The problem with that is you have to make sure that your kernel is configured to support smbfs.

nvidia geforce4... help...
I have successfully built the nvidia drivers and Gnome is looking great.

Does anyone know why and how to fix this? It's really annoying to have to reboot everytime to return to pure console.

Re: nvidia geforce4... help...
When I first built the drivers, I had an older 64mb nvidia agp in there and didn't have that problem. However, since the older one is starting to tweak out, I had to replace it with this newer one that's a 64mb Geforce 4 MX440SE-T. I redid the process starting at the /usr/src/linux. Would wiping everything and and removing the nvidia deb packages and restarting all over again make a difference? Or is it because the new cards really need me to disable APIC or switch the console drivers to text mode? Thanks!

RE: Debian and LDAP
I've attached two Perl scripts which may or may not
come through. One is the LDAP-aware version of
useradd, the other the LDAP-aware version of passwd.
If they don't come through, let me know and I'll
send them privately.
You don't have to create all the accounts manually,
there are "migration tools" to help complete this task.
IIRC, http://www.padl.org/ has some scripts.
As for a user being a member of multiple groups,
the groups go into a separate organizational unit
("ou=groups", usually), and each user that is a member
of this group is included under this, "member: username",
IIRC.

If you can't understand it, it is intuitively obvious.

RE: Debian and LDAP
If you have to create your users from scratch, as
opposed to "migrating" them, the ldapuseradd script
I posted may greatly assist you in that. The script
is somewhat old, so it may require a few changes
to work with the newer LDAP server version (I haven't
used it for quite some time, so I'm not really sure).
As you may or may not have noticed, I am using Outlook.
I have a "directory service" account set up for my local
LDAP server. When I compose a new message, Outlook will
query the LDAP server to find the e-mail address of the
person whose name I enter into the "To:" field. It does
this via the "mail" attribute. I created my initial LDAP
entries by manually composing an LDIF file and importing
that into the LDAP server. Here's my "record" in the LDAP
server, from the LDIF file (some information blocked out,
of course):
[snip]
dn: cn=Jeremy Gaddis,ou=People,dc=gaddis,dc=org

postalcode: 47446
telephonenumber: +1 812 555
mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
givenname: Jeremy
sn: Gaddis
[snip]
Also, if you use the right entries (which I didn't),
you can also use Start -> Find -> People in Windows
to query the LDAP server (instead of the local Contacts
database) and Windows will show the person's name,
address, phone numbers, etc. in the appropriate fields.
I can't give you any information regarding Evolution as
I don't use it, but I assume the setup is probably very
similar, since Evolution aims to be an Outlook "clone".
HTH,
j.

Yes, and there are many who read this list on Windows-based also. Many people read it from the office where they may be forced to use Outlook or another Windows e-mail client. Then, there are those who have this holier-than-thou attitude and think they are so damn cool because they use Linux instead of Windows. I have come to refer to this as "Linuxitis", it is generally limited to those who understand that Linux isn't the answer to everything and that, yes, some people do use non-Linux operating systems. The message was intended as a general "heads-up" to any of the others who may have received the original (off-list) message. I *do* use Outlook. I do, however, also have the appropriate measures in place to prevent virii from affecting my Windows machines. If my original message didn't concern you, great. If you think you're so much cooler because you use Linux, well, I hope you seek treatment. Good day. j. -- Jeremy L.

"ou=Roaming" used to be used for Netscape's roaming profile
support. I usually create another organizational unit
("ou=users") for user accounts and put regular address book
entries under the People organizational unit.
There is no certain way you *HAVE* to do it, you're free to
create organizational units and use them how you see fit.

You can either download the kernel sources, patch it, and compile a new kernel yourself, or wait for the Debian team to release an updated kernel (if they haven't already). j. -- Jeremy L.
