error upgrading debconf in debian unstable - python2.2: invalidoption -- O
Hello! I have problems upgrading to debconf 1.3.4. I get the following error message: Setting up debconf (1.3.4) ... python2.2: invalid option -- O Try `python2.2 --help' for more information. dpkg: error processing debconf (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 It's been like this for a week now, and it causes a lot of trouble because all packages that depends on debconf complains that debconf isn't configured yet. Does anyone else have this problem or am I doing something wrong? /Johan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

problem with multipath since I upgraded form etch to lenny
Hi
I have a problem with my multipath setup since I upgraded a server
from Etch to Lenny.
One of my paths doesn't show up anymore.
The command multipath -v6 gives me those 2 errors :
libdevmapper: ioctl/libdm-iface.c(1623): device-mapper: reload ioctl
failed: Invalid argument
SAN_ess5Disk1: domap (0) failure for create/reload map
Any idea ?
Do I have something wrong in my config ?
Thanks a lot
Johan

Does not even have startx. Usually I end up with a graphical interface. Obviously this time not.

Re: Multiple ethernet cards
I've been experimenting with this stuff, too. So maybe I can help you I put two ethernet cards in my pc. However, i can't ping a remote host from both interfaces (eth0,eth1, after swapping the cable over). I assume you mean a computer that is not in your own network. If that is the case, you are completely right. To reach a computer beyond the specified routes in your routing table, you have to specify a default route. This however, is only possible to specify for one inteface as long as you use the standard 'route' tool. Try the iproute package and read Advanced Routing HOWTO on tldp.org. But I don't see why you need this complex setup. If the "remote host" is a computer at your LAN, then you've got something set up wrong. If i disable one interface, then i can ping from the other. Both cards are pci of different brands. By disable, do you mean a) ifdown or do you also b) remove the module? The difference could be a) routing problems and for b) rescource conflicts. I've tried giving both cards the same address and different addresses. I think it's because of the routing. netstat -rn: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Iface 210.50.118.58 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH ppp0 0.0.0.0 210.50.118.58 0.0.0.0 UG ppp0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U eth0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U eth1 I want to connect two PCs to the 3rd gateway PC. So this is the 3rd computer? And you want the following setup?: Computer0 eth0 <-> eth0 Gateway PC ppp0 <-> ISP Computer1 eth0 <-> eth1'' And you don't want to use a hub/switch for the internal network, right? So then you'll have to use different address spaces for eth0 and eth1, otherwise it will use the first one even if the desired computer is on another interface. It might be possible to have the addresses in the same space by specifying more rules (eg. 192.168.0.2/32 on eth0, 192.168.0.3 on eth1) but I don't see why it would be worth the extra work. If you have simple address spaces, you won't have to touch the routing table. One computer could be 192.168.0.2, the other 192.168.1.2. The gateway would then be for example 192.168.0.1 and .1.1.

Re: after knx-hdinstall howto network configure ?
yes it's good but Network is unreachable ? when i make a ping -c 4 10.0.0.138 Can you send me the output of the following commands: ifconfig route dmesg (relevant parts about pcmcia and network card) lspci -vv (network card part) It sounds like the card doesn't get it's address set up correctly. This can be caused by many things. The output from those programs will help. there are many file that contain pcmcia and 2 contains pcmcia xcard (trade name's card) Don't worry about them for now. If the module gets inserted correctly (two high beeps, not a high and a low) then it should be all right. Btw, what is the etho address? I think's it's necessary ? I've never heard of it... it's probably eth0, which would be your computers network interface, but you said that is is 10.0.0.3. Can you tell me what the address for etho is used for? If all configuration is static, the interface is configured in /etc/network/interfaces. There you should have the following entry: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.0.0.3# I believe this was your laptop netmask 255.0.0.0 gateway 10.0.0.138 For name resolving, edit /etc/resolv.conf There you should have your DNS server specified: right...

Re: GNOME2 questions
1) gdm looks the same as in woody (gnome 1.4). I had the backported gnome 2 packages in woody and I'd like to use the "graphical" login. Check the archives from debian-gtk. There was some discusion on this. From what I remember, some parts of gnome2 dont build on some archs and the gdm maintainer doesnt want gdm2 in there till everything does build. So till then: deb http://harshy.homelinux.org/files/debian/ ./ deb-src http://harshy.homelinux.org/files/debian/ ./ Yeah, that explains it. Thanks for the link. 2) Something seems to be very slow with gnome-terminal. Scrolling text in it eats my CPU to 100% and the scrolling is slow. Do you have transparecny enabled? That can make it slow. Transparency doesn't seem to affect the performance after it has loaded the background. (= turning it off does't help). 3) I can't find advanced control panel functions like "remember window palcement" and so on. I hate it when I have to maximize mozilla every time. Are you using metacity or sawfish? From what I remember sawfish does this type of thing, while metacity doesn't. I think. Well, I thought of this as a "general" question. For example I can't find where to set my home directory in Nautilus. I use sawfish, and in Woody the above mentioned setting were available in gnome control panel under sawfish. I can find sawfish but it seems all useful settings (not just sawfish) have been simplified (read: removed). Anyway, I just love the new nautilus. It's really fast. That was the only con about the old nautilus, it was slow. Thanks for the help! /johan -- Johan Ehnberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Windows? No...

Re: Beginner help
I have downloaded Debian and want to set up an old PC as a server which will initially serve a PC and an X-box. Will it be the gateway for these also? To connect to the internet I'll be using an Alcatel Speedtouch USB modem. My question is this, how do I set up Debian?!? OK, that's a big question. To start with, do I choose a normal install or a 2.4 kernel install (thinking of the USB modem, I downloaded a Linux driver for it. TAR file?). Depends on the driver. If it's not supported by the kernel itself you'll have to install the kernel with which you can use your driver. If you don't know, I'd go for 2.4. > Secondly, what system do I set it up as? I got this far (mail server, games, SQL server etc) but went down the wrong path, I chose Dial-up system and got truly lost. You're talking about tasksel here? It doesn't matter what you choose, you can always change the selections in dselect or whatever you prefer. Aptitude is a good one, too. Tell me what the machine will do and I can tell you what to install. Basically, in tasksel, you'll want as little as possible. hth, /johan -- Johan Ehnberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Windows? No...

You're using non-accelerated drivers. Download the nvidia-kernel-src and nvidia-glx-src packages and install the accelerated driver.

Well, if fsck can find something on your drive (=inodes from the earlier filesystem), you might get something. There is a slim chance that this happens, if the first and second filesystems were a) the exact same size and b) ext3. And, the user files are more likely to be at the end of the drive than files written during installation. But isn't it possible to recover files in the style that it is possible to recover files deleted (not shreded)? Deleted files after all don't have an entry in the FAT anymore? Well, if they can be recovered, they obviously have an entry somewhere. That could be a) RAM b) some other cahce c) backup FATs d) FAT (marked as deleted). Dunno exactly.

Now I just moved the module away. Do I have to disable it in the kernel and recompile? Now I compiled ALSA "on top" of my current kernel. I get the following at /etc/init.d/alsa start/restart: Starting ALSA sound driver (version none): emu10k1-failed no driver installed. Basically loading the modules results in a lot of unresolved symbols like this: /lib/modules/2.4.20/alsa/snd.o: unresolved symbol register_sound_special_Rbabfcb33 ALSA is horribly documented, if it's gonna be the next de facto standard they have to shape up...

Re: ALSA conf
Yes. That solved it! Many thanks to you. I'm now listening to music through xmms :-) . The functionality of ALSA seems great, I just hope they will make it more user friendly. That's basically what the community needs to concentrate on to bring linux to the desktop. On Thu, Mar 13, 2003 at 06:46:06PM +0200, Johan Ehnberg wrote: Howdy!

If my information is wrong, then I hope someone will correct me. What I've read somewhere, and is hopefully accurate and current, is that in order to make ALSA happy: 1) You must have core sound support installed (in my case it's the module 'soundcore' but I suspect you could have it compiled-in). 2) You must *not* have any other sound *drivers* installed. So if the driver you were using before was a module, unload it, if it was compiled-in... I guess you'd have to recompile without it. 3) Dunno if this is relevant to your case, but I'm using alsa from binary debs, and it required me to upgrade to a 2.4 kernel. And, umm, I doubt I need to mention it, but you do have your ALSA emu10k1.o module compiled and in its appropriate place in the modules directory, right? ALSA is horribly documented, if it's gonna be the next de facto standard they have to shape up... Absolutely right. After I *finally* got it to work, the sound is great; but I found f*&%-all documentation for it. Only with the great help of a few people on this list, and some google results from other mailing lists, did I manage to get it going. I still have no clue what the 'options' in /etc/alsa/modutils/ are for... I just know that if I exclude them it works, but if I leave them in it doesn't.

Automounting
Hi, everybody! I'm having some problems automounting Windows shares from my Debian GNU/Linux system running unstable. However, mounting it manually with: root@bettan:/import $ mount -t smbfs -o username=Johan,password=foobar //nisse/C /import/nisse works flawless. So it's not a Windows problem(!) :) I'm quite new with autofs so I don't know if I'm my setup is right, although people have reported that this works for them. Anyway this is what I've done: root@bettan:/etc $ cat auto.master | sed -e '/^#/d' -e '/^$/d' /import /etc/auto.nisse root@bettan:/etc $ cat auto.nisse | sed -e '/^#/d' -e '/^$/d' nisse -fstype=smbfs,username=johan,password=foobar ://nisse/C Some other information that might be useful: root@bettan:~ $ /etc/init.d/autofs status Configured Mount Points: /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=300 /import file /etc/auto.nisse Active Mount Points: /usr/sbin/automount --pid-file=/var/run/autofs/_:import.pid --timeout=300 /import file /etc/auto.nisse root@bettan:~ $ df -a Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 5573936975708 4315084 19% / proc 0 0 0 - /proc devpts 0 0 0 - /dev/pts automount(pid219)0 0 0 - /import I'm suspecting all this might have something to do with the fact that I'm trying this from a laptop using PCMCIA, and I don't actually get net connection until after automount has been started at boot. But doing /etc/init.d/autofs stop followed by /etc/init.d/autofs start didn't work either. Neither did changing the order it starts at boot time.

Re: X11 stability
In my experience, this sounds like a resource conflict. I've also had about the same problem with nVidia cards using old drivers. The fact that this problem was also in RedHat, would support my theory. I think your GFX card conflicts with your audio card (or some other card). Some specific actions on to the graphics borad freeze the computer. What you can do is: -Try looking in your 'dmesg' and 'lspci' outputs how your cards' resources are configured. The IRQ is important. -Some broken motherboards can also cause this problem; check your BIOS and try moving cards around. -If the computer freezes so that it still answers on pings, and you can ssh to it, but nothing can be done locally it's probably a GFX problem. The KDE sound card error can be solved by loading the appropriate modules for your sound card and adding your user to the 'audio' group. I dunno about the shutdown thing, though. hth, Johan Ehnberg S Yuval wrote: Ever since I installed Debian, I have to hard boot at least 3 times a day, because X windows crashes and hangs the machine.

However, when I used Red Hat 7.1 and even Red Hat 8.0, I could always use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get out to a console and kill the X process, however, now even this is impossible. May I note that I have experienced this problem both when using an old 2.4.2 Red Hat kernel and when using the newer 2.4.18 kernel supplied with Debian. Another issue is KDE, which locks the system upon startup unless I switch to terminal mode, let it finish loading, and only then switch back to X.

Swap capslock-control in console?
I have swap-caps-ctrl in X, why shouldn't I want it in console too? How do I set things up so that I swap caps-lock and control in the console? Everytime that "console-data" updates it tries to clobber my setup (explained below). Is there a debian way to configure this? I hacked myself a new keymap which does this and called it /etc/console/us+.kmap.gz. Then changed /etc/init.d/keymap.sh to point to this by setting CONFFILEROOT=us+ instead of the usual boottime. Every so often upgrading stuff will ask about a modified keymap.sh. Since the package is kind enough not to outright clobber keymap.sh and it graciously makes a new keymap.sh (called something obvious but unmemorable like keymap.sh-dpkg.new or somesuch, but the exact name isn't important here) so I can then manually update things. I had tried replacing boottime with my own keymapfile but console-data will unceremoniously and silently clobber that. Is there a better way to get this?

What you can do is use the -p flag for su. 'su -p' will preserve the user's env.vars. for the invoked su session (or login for 'su -'). Now you can run X apps as root. If I don't remember it completely wrong, at least Redhat and Mandrake do this by default, so in those distros you don't have to worry about -p, but they might also use some other mechanism. This makes it confusing for someone who's used rh or mdk earlier. hth, /johan Andrej Prsa wrote: Hello List, I have a very-difficult-to-reproduce-but-pertaining problem with accessing X applications (such as nedit) when gaining access via su from some other user's X session.

As a side-effect calling mc from su session becomes miraculously black-and-white. If I close all open terminals, restart one and go into another session of su, I could sometimes regain normal su operation and sometimes not.

Re: Deb3.0 - Enabling NAT in kernel?
howdy. I'm using an old Toshiba 200CDS laptop with 48 megs of RAM and a 4 gig HD. (I'm using a laptop specifcally so this router will run silently with no buzzing fans.) For this use, I strongly suggest you buy some old non-laptop computer. A P/100 is more than enough, and they are very silent (or can be modified to be). I use a tweaked HP Vectra for this, it has been running 24/7 for years. With a laptop you might run into some serious heat problems. But your choice. So far I've got the 100mbit PC-Card working and seeing the other machines on the network, and ppp can dial out in demand mode, but the next steps seem very vague. I don't know what I'm supposed to do to make NAT function. The IP-MASQUERADE-Howto tells you exactly what to do. Find it at www.tldp.org. It's not difficult. And you can make the machine your firewall at the same time. (MASQ by itself already works as disguise firewall). There's something in dselect called "ipmasq", but it does not work. It seems to install fine, but when it runs I get an error that says "IP masquerade not enabled in the kernel" which is odd because I thought that was supposed to be automatically available in newer kernels. I suggest you compile your own kernel for this use, as you can get some fun functionality to play with. The Howto tells you more. But afaik there should be MASQ in the default kernels. Have you installed a new kernel with dselect (or any other way) or are you still using the original one? I recommend a 2.4 kernel as it is easier to set up for your task. But some protocols don't work with 2.4 yet, look in the Howto for an updated list. You probably won't use them anyway :=). I've been doing a variety of web searches, trying to figure out how to turn on NAT support, but I am not finding anything specific to Debian 3.0 that explains the process. For example, a Google search on "IP masquerade not enabled in the kernel" turns up absolutely nothing. What am I supposed to be doing next to make it work? I'd try a new 2.4 kernel or compile it myself using make-kpkg (you'll need kernel-source, kernel-package and probably ncurses for 'make menuconfig'). Read the Howto and you'll have it working in a few hours, and at the same time you'll understand how it works. I hope I answered your questions :=). hth, /johan -- Johan Ehnberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Windows? No... I don't think so." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

XFree86 supports it since February this year. Unfortunately, debian doesn't have 4.3.0 in its lineup. Woody uses 4.1 which came out in June 2001. XFree86 seems to put out reasonably timely releases.

Visualizing debian releases
Hi! I'd like to share some thoughts with you: I work with people and computers, and I've come to like debian most of the linux dists. So what I do (and would like to do even more) is bring linux to users who havent seen (or even heard about!) linux before. To present how the different debian releases are related, I'd like to visualize with a graph. The graph represents package versions (and overall functionality): Debian GNU/Linux releases: § §§ §§ § §§§ § §§§ § § § § §§§§§ § § § § __--'' § § § § §__--'' §§ §__--'' § § __--'' § __--'' __--'' Legend: §§§ Unstable _-' Testing *** Stable (Official Releases) If all this makes sense, others can hopefully also benefit from my idea. E.g. someyhing like this could also be used to improve the page on http://www.debian.org/releases/ I'd like to know what you think of this idea, if it is correct at all, and if something could be improved. Maybe there is something (better) already? Thanks for your time. Cheers, johan -- Johan Ehnberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Windows? No...

Re: Visualizing debian releases
As far as I know, sarge was born as woody released. It was an identical copy. So the branching is wrong or misleading. Am I right? And I'd like to give a really easy-to-understand picture. What I'm looking for is perhaps more general: - Not release specific -> No updates required -> Works as a general view of how Debian releases are organized - Does not relate to changing statistics such as number of packages -> Relates to how it works in practice - Unstable is a random (averagely growing) graph -> Illustrates how the packages are accepted into Debian and -> What makes Debian so impressively stable :=) I can see a few problems in my own graph, though: - The balance of maturity (stability) and functionality (new features) is confusing because the stability is not illustrated, and unstable appears as the most feature-rich release. - Changes in release policy might make the graph (especially for the stable branch).

Congratulations, you have been brain washed. The fact stands: Linux won't maybe load at all on a TCPA enabled hardware, eventually. And TCPA can't be completely turned off. And "non-trusted" clients (read open source) will not be able to read files created on a "trusted" machine. And so on. There are other people and organisations who also have talks on this technology.

Re: depmod and multi kernel systems
And a second question. Is there any arguments for using ext2 instead of ext3? Cause I can't find any that would make anyone choose ext2 instead of ext3, and still Debian 3.0 installs on ext2. I guess ext3 is getting mature in 2.4 kernels. Accordingly, ext3 can be used using the bf2.4 flavor when installing Woody.

The locale system doesn't really cover everything needed. Say, it works well as long as you survive with only C as locale. I would file a bug but I don't know if this is a locale or some gtk package problem. I had the same problem earlier (but with öäå, locale fi_FI), and this is my solution: Edit /etc/environment or apt-get install localeconf so that the result is (replace fi_FI@euro with your own locale: de_DE@euro): LANG=C LC_CTYPE=fi_FI@euro LC_NUMERIC=fi_FI@euro LC_TIME="C" LC_COLLATE="C" LC_MONETARY=fi_FI@euro LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_PAPER="C" LC_NAME="C" LC_ADDRESS="C" LC_TELEPHONE="C" LC_MEASUREMENT="C" LC_IDENTIFICATION="C" LC_ALL= Now you'll have working special chars in traditional terminals as well as in GTK apps, but: -Some GTK apps like gnome-terminal don't work (I use xterm instead, which gives öäå) -Other apps start slowly, eg gedit (30 sec. of 100 % CPU usage), but give öäå -Gnome starts up a bit slower (stops for an extra 5 secs on Windowmanager of I remember correctly). -Some Gnome gunctions are really f:d up, like changing icons for launchers. These crash on you completely. If you explicitly set LC_MESSAGES to your own locale, you'll end up seeing your Gnome in German... Hope this helps!

Re: Font anti-aliasing
Looking at http://people.debian.org/~walters/gnome2.html There's a short FAQ: How do I get antialiased fonts in GNOME 2? Add the following line to /etc/environment: GDK_USE_XFT=1 Also, if you want antialiasing in GDM, add the following lines near the top of the /etc/init.d/gdm file: GDK_USE_XFT=1 export GDK_USE_XFT Cheers /johan Bruno Diniz de Paula wrote: > Hi, > > I am running Gnome2 and I would like to know what I have to do to enable > anti-aliasing (in particular, font anti-aliasing) in my environment. > Which are the options I have?

CDRW is not different from CD-ROM as long as you don't try to write something. Are you sure that your mixer channels are not muted? Do other sound sources work and/or respond to the mixer controls?

Nautilus hangs when double-clicking "Applications"
I've had this problem basically since I installed Debian a couple of months ago. Whenever I go to "Start Here" and double-click "Applications", Nautilus hangs. After this, trying to exit Gnome from the "Log Out" menu also fails (nothing happens). Any idea what the problem might be here? I'm tracking unstable. -- Johan Parin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

If you don't mind using awk instead of sed, try
cat temp |awk '$1="";{print}'

That's why I went straight for sid last August. (ATI Radeon 8500 needs 4.2.1.) At work I just got some crap corporate box with i845g graphics. I need xfree86 4.3.

Re: can't login on console with ctrl-alt-Fn
Where do I go to fix the console keyboard mapping? Would this be in /etc/environment? The CTYPE env does the trick for me (getting my scandinavian keyb to work right). Install 'localeconf', if you are unfamiliar with the system view of it. It's a little tool which tells you about locale envs. hth, /johan -- Johan Ehnberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Windows? No...

GNOME applets not appearing in menu
Hello. I'm having a problem with installing new GNOME (GNOME 2) applets in unstable, in that they don't seem to want to appear in the applet menu (right click -> Add to Panel). For instance, I've installed multiticker, a news ticker applet but can't for the life of me figure out how to start it, which is kind of embarrassing. If I try to run multiticker_applet from a shell it just tells me "The GNOME panel is not running." What am I doing wrong? The applets from the gnome-applets package work fine. I'm just now looking at the dependencies of multiticker, and it seems like the package is made for GNOME 1.4. Does that mean the applet won't work with GNOME 2? If that's the case, can anyone recommend a good GNOME 2 ticker applet? Many thanks in advance, Johan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
