cryptic diald message

1997-01-16 Thread James Martino
Hi all, I've been trying to chase this one down, but no luck so far. I've got daild/ppp set up to connect to my ISP using dynamic addressing. Everything works fine, except the following weird message about "Nonzero exit status" for route when the link goes down (plus a few lines for context)" Ja

Mike, Thanks for the explanation. I have installed the new version with no problems. I think the setup is just fine. Happy new year, Jim On 30 Dec 1996, Miquel van Smoorenburg wrote: > > It's not just a recompile for ELF. It has some extra utilities in it, > and more documenta

Re: Compile time errors in include files...

1996-12-29 Thread James Martino
Richard, It is likely that an error in your own code, like a missing semi-colon at the end of a line, occurring before the #include statement is causing the problem. The error might not be recognized by the compiler until it gets to the header, even though the header itself is fine. Happ

Mike, I tried to install the new uucp, but it requires mailx, which I don't use. Why the change in dependencies since the last release, if it's just a recompile for ELF? Thanks, Jim On 24 Dec 1996, Miquel van Smoorenburg wrote: [...] > mirror by now. I don't think UUCP needs much main

/etc/daily.cron/man broken by Debian 1.2?

1996-12-24 Thread James Martino
Upgrading to debian 1.2 broke /etc/cron.daily/man; the fix seems to be to use full path names for find and rm. I don't know why cron reported to root that it had a PATH sufficient to do the job when this was not the case. Thanks to Ralph and Fabrizio for replying! Happy Holidays, Jim #!/bin/sh

Oh dear - uucp an orphaned package! What is the (*n*x) world coming to? If it really is orphaned, I might like to adopt it. Happy holidays, Jim On Mon, 23 Dec 1996, Bruce Perens wrote: > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Danny ter Haar) > > I am very suprised to find a.out binaries in the rex (and bo)

/etc/daily.cron/man broken by Debian 1.2?

1996-12-22 Thread James Martino
Apparently the upgrade from Debian 1.1 to 1.2 broke a daily cron job which cleans up old catman files. The script used to work without any problem before the upgrade; now I get daily error messages to root. It's a minor annoyance, but I haven't found out the reason for it yet. Any ideas? Thanks

Upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2

1996-12-13 Thread James Martino
Bruce was asking for upgrade stories - here's a data point. I installed my first debian system from the Sept 96 Infomagic set. (I'm a slackware convert.) I have been happily running 1.1, and it was current when I decided to upgrade to 1.2. It is now running nicely, with all weirdnesses resolve

Cannot find map file?

1996-10-25 Thread James Martino
Hello all, I am a little bit worried about this message about not finding the map file upon bootup. Everything seems *completely* normal except for this little message. I looked in the kernel sources (2.0.22) to try and find the reason for it, but had no luck. This appears after
