Re: bash, but no .bashrc??

2003-01-25 Thread mess-mate
Hi,
here, users have different profiles etc..
So I'm using bash interractive.
Change your /etc/profile like that:  
f [ "$BASH" ]; then
#  PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ '
bash -i
else
  if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
PS1='# '
  else
PS1='$ '
  fi
fi
and your user .bashrc would be executed on login.

| Maybe you could explain in a little more detail what you did?  The
| lm-sensors-source package is intended to be built as a set of add-on
| modules; you should be able to unpack /usr/src/lm-sensors.tar.gz and
| run 'make-kpkg modules-image' from the top of your kernel source tree
| to get the modules, without patching your kernel.
The  source packages unpacked in a /home/user.
Then in this dir :
mkpatch/mkpatch.pl . /usr/src/linux > i2c-patch (for the new i2c package)
cd /usr/src/linu
su
Password : 
patch -p1 -E < /home/user/i2c-2.6.3/i2c-patch
cd /home/user/lm_sensors-2.6.3
mkpatch/mkpatch.pl . /usr/src/linux > lm-patch
patch -p1 -E < /home/user/lm_sensors-2.6.3/lm-patch
cd /usr/src/linux
make xconfig and selected everything as a module sensors/i2c
make dep ; make bzImage ; make modules ; make modules_install (old way)
After that a 'sensors-detect' with nothing detected.
Then a i2c-detect and detected a i2c-0 device.
That's exactly what I did.
I have sensor devices, the bios display temp's and fan's.

| 
| Note that it is possible you don't have sensor devices on your
| motherboard.  But the upstream Web site,
| http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/supported.html, suggests that that
| chipset should be supported using the w83781d driver, which is pretty

| Got hardware sensors working on a few motherboards here and even
| took notes on how it was done. Perhaps these notes might be useful to you.
| 
| Notes on Installing sensor support in a Debian system.
| 
| 0) For the following, it is assumed that a new
|2.4.20 kernel was already compiled, installed and
|working. It is also assumed that the kernel was compiled
|using the debian kernel build system make-kpkg. The
|kernel source should be in /usr/src/linux either directly
|or by a symbolic link.
| 
| 1) have a working 2.4 series kernel with module support
|included. Make sure that i2o items are NOT compiled
|in. Once this kernel is installed and working, the modules
|are ready to be included. Make sure you are running
|the kernel to which the modules are to be added. This
|seems to be the easiest way to make the module version
|numbers consistent with the kernel version number.
| 
| 2) obtain the debian packages: i2c-source,lm-sensors,
|   lm-sensors-source, and sensord. Optionally also
|   get other monitors like sensor-sweep-applet,
|   wmsensors or xsensors. The package xsensors is
|   not in woody but getting the source and building
|   it locally using apt-get source works fine.
| 
| 3) Become root and change to the /usr/src directory.
|In this directory there will be tar files named
|   i2c.tar.gz and lm-sensors.tar.gz. When these
|   tar files are expanded they write themselves
|   into the /usr/src/modules directory. This
|   directory may already exist if other modules

|This tool sweeps the smbus and determines the devices

|suggestions if the modules were detected incorrectly.
| 
| 8) Cut and paste the results from sensors-detect into 
|the relevant files as it requests. For one motherboard
|as an example,
|the lines:
| # I2C adapter drivers
| i2c-viapro
| # I2C chip drivers
| w83781d
|   have to be pasted into the file /etc/modules.

Thanks to all and George,David,Jsen and Hugo
Let me explain somewhat better what's my pb:
My MB is a ASUS P4T533-R with an ASB100 - Bach chip ( w83781d ??)
And have kernels 2.4.20-bf24, 2.4.18-bf24, 2.4.686 and my own
2.4.20 installed. Yes by old-way I mean bzImage, etc... ( all manual)
At now I tryed 2 installation methods without any success:
1. Patched the i2c and lm-sensor modules in the kernel and 
recompiled with the debian lm-sensor-packages installed.
2. Removed the debian lm-sensor-packages and installed 
the lm-sensor...tar.gz in my /home.
All i2c and lm-sensor modules setted as module, and setted-up the 
devices in /dev.
When running 'sensors' in both methods no sensors where detected :-(
This is why I decided to try the method from Hugo but there is no 
2.4.20 kernel (with this name exactly) available to download.
But I doubt that the method from Hugo  result the pb.
So before go further with it I have to search somewher else ( I think) 
to solve the pb.

Re: Do all debian kernel packages require an initrd?

There is no (more) need to use or setup an initrd image when you 
compile your own kernel.
But if the kernel comes with this image and you want 
use this kernel then you MUST run the initrd image.
WITH GRUB FOR EX: (located at /boot/grub )
title  Debian 20-686

There is a .config in the header source " Automatically generated make config: don't

So, can I use my .config file from the 2.4.20 kernel ??

Hi list,
Used until now only sylpheed as my mta but needs X to run.
If I want using 'mutt', a complete set of packages must be setup :(
But what packages, I'm completely newbie about messaging.
I've a little network and 1 isdn-router.
And I've personally 4 mailing accounts on 3 ISP's,
that's 12 accounts.
The goal is to deal a console mailer with my sylpheed mail directory (maildir) + a

What's the best combination of packages ?
Thanks for your advice.

| Sorry, I don't think I understand your situation.  Do you already have Debian 
| installed on the machine?  If so, why do you want to boot off the CDROM?
| 
| There are 4 reasons that I know of why you might not be able to boot off a CD:
| 
| 1) Your bios doesn't support it  (Have you checked your BIOS?)
I did; choices are : A, HD, CDROM. So I selected CDROM.
| 2) Your bios isn't set up to boot off the CD (again, check BIOS)
See above.
| 3) faulty CD
Sorry, NO. Works on another machine.
| 4) faulty CDROM drive
No, worked on another machine and I can read cd's.
On the motherboard I have 2 connectors, 1 for ide1 and 1 for ide2.
My CDROM is connected to the connector of ide2.
Can this be my mistake ?
Thanks

If they are isa then (informatical) you need 'isapnptools' and to 
do a isapnp dump.
Then a config of  /etc/isapnp.conf is needed. There you chose the irq and the io(s) 
of your cards. (uncomment these lines)
The isapnptools must be started at boot of course.
The rest is a config of your cards as eth0 and eth1.

No problem and easy todo.
Insert your first CD; select your language, keyboard and hdb to setup the 
partitions you like. And there you go with the install. (follow the
 instructions)
Don't forget to set the jumpers on the slave HD as slave of course,
and create a bootfloppy at the end of the install !

Yes it's a typo :)
Must be tar zcvf ~/Backups/Maildir-date '+%d'.tgz ~/Maildir
But the way i want is as follows:
Add  number 1 to the backup file and when backup next that file,
delete the  newer one(s) and restart with number 1.( the number 1
file will be automatically overwrite )
Say 1-maildir.tgz as first, the next backup verify if there are
newer (greater of nbr 1) and delete them first and recreate
with nbr 1 = 1-maildir.tgz.
(This incase if older backups wheren't deleted before )

You see, I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty
attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose.  A fool
takes in all the lumber of every sort he comes across, so that the knowledge
which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with
a lot of other things, so that he has difficulty in laying his hands upon it.
Now the skilful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his
brain-attic.  He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing
his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect
order.  It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls and
can distend to any extent.  Depend upon it there comes a time when for every
addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before.  It is of
the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out
the useful ones.

If it can help some:
Udev has selected and attributed the cards.
So eth2 was named eth0 in /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules.
A little change and eth2 was up.

can't get running ethernet card smc

2007-02-20 Thread mess-mate
Hi,
i've installed etch on a machine to get it function as a router for
my internal net.
So there are 2 eth cards installed:
1 D-link 530tx ( detected and running without any problem)
1 SMC 9332BDT ( recognized on boot )

What strange is, on a sarge box the driver for the SMC card is
(detected) initialised as a 'de4x5' and,
on the etch box as a 'tulip' driver.

I can't get ethx up with that card running on the etch box,
nor with the de4x5 nor the tulip driver.

Any hint would be welcome.

setting-up a dmz

2007-02-24 Thread mess-mate
Hi list,
tought isn't easy setting-up a dmz ?
Well..nor at all (for me)

My config is as follows:
modem--->boxA=router/firewall/proxy>switch>mylan
and also from boxA->dmz--->web-server.

boxA is equiped with 3 ethernet-cards: ppp0--->eth0, eth1, eth2.

The modem is initialised from boxA with pppoe.
The firewall is disabled for testing/setup purposes but can do dmz.
(arno-iptables-firewall)
All cables are straigted except the one connected from boxA to the
server (dmz) = crossed cable.

On boxA:
-/etc/network/interfaces:
auto lo 
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
  address 192.168.1.10
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  network 192.168.1.0
  broadcast  192.168.1.255

auto eth2

  dns-nameservers x
  dns-search yyy
auto orange
iface orange inet ppp
  provider orange # is setup in /etc/ppp 
pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf

-ifconfig shows lo eth1 and ppp0.
-route shows the route to internet-provider

A '/etc/init.d/networking start' give an error about eth2:
eth2: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device.

The 'lsmod' give : mii 5536  via_rhine, 8139too, 3c59x
The 3 cards works.

The internet connection seems on (checked syslog).
but can't establish a connection 'links www.debian.org' nor from any
other workstation.

What did i wrong ??

No shorewall, i prefer a own debian iptables firewall :)
The only bad error messages are these i mentioned.

But i've seen now after a reboot, just before grub come up,
a message from 3Com to do the choice of MBA (?) and choosing XPE or
TCP/IP, local..netware... and so what.Has to little time to see it

What does that mean ? Did a bought a netboot card ??
Is a 3com detected as a RTL8139 by the kernel but with the 3C59x

High Priest: Armaments Chapter One, verses nine through twenty-seven:
Bro. Maynard: And Saint Attila raised the Holy Hand Grenade up on high
saying, "Oh Lord, Bless us this Holy Hand Grenade, and with it smash our
enemies to tiny bits." And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast
upon the lambs, and stoats, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and
lima bean- High Priest: Skip a bit, brother. Bro. Maynard: And then the
Lord spake, saying: "First, shalt thou take out the holy pin. Then shalt
thou count to three. No more, no less. *Three* shall be the number of
the counting, and the number of the counting shall be three. *Four*
shalt thou not count, and neither count thou two, excepting that thou
then goest on to three. Five is RIGHT OUT. Once the number three, being
the third number be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade
towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it. Amen.
All: Amen. -- Monty Python, "The Holy Hand Grenade"

Do you mean creating a debootstrap and when logging into, deleting
the xubuntu system and then recreate new partitions and installing
etch into ?
(without the debootstrap of course)

creating a debian/etch over a xubuntu installation

2007-05-14 Thread mess-mate
Hi list,
i've a machine with xubuntu installed.
The machine have ONLY a hd partioned like this:
HD = 6000M
hda1= / = 5650M
hda2= swap = 50M
hda3 = 300M
I did a debootstrap on the hda3 partition and the etch base is there
installed.
Have to correct grub to boot etch on hda3, seems not a problem.
But after that how can i reinstall etch on hda1 ?
Maybe a second debootstrap ?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion

Ok, setted-up with debootstrap a etch base system to /dev/hda3
(only'/')
Installed a kernel, grub and rebooted to my etch setup.
Runs as a charm :)
But how can i copy/move my etch base if i make different
partitions after deleting hda1 ?
/dev/hda1 = /boot
/dev/hda5 = /
dev/hda6 = /usr
etc...

Wihout loose data ?

| copy all of hda3 to hda1

| redo grub
| reboot to hda1 base install and /home

| -- 
Ok, it's done and runs beautifull :)
The problem was to replace a machine by an other.
So, i bought a barbone with ONLY a HD installed; no other device but
with xubuntu installed.
So from that xubuntu part i've patitioned 300M on hda3 and installed
ther a debian/etch system, big unough to delete the xubuntu system
and replace it over the LAN by the system from the other machine.
This is wat i did but with a dump/restore method.
After installation of the correct kernel on the barbone, the machine
is an exact copy of the other; no matter if the hd, cpu and others
are different. 
Thanks to all for the help.
