Re: using IA32 chroot: Exec format error

2005-03-13 Thread Max
Oh, one more issue related to IA32 chroot'ing. When I run 'dchroot -c ia32 -d 
openoffice' like suggested in the FAQ, I get
$ dchroot -c ia32 -d openoffice
(ia32) openoffice
dchroot: chdir: No such file or directory
dchroot: Child exited non-zero.
dchroot: Operation failed.
What could be wrong?
Thanks,

that's it!!! Thank you for your right guess!
This needs to be added to FAQ.
Now I've got chroot'ing as well as direct running some ia32 binaries to 
work.

Max,
   everything you write is consistent with having a kernel that does 
not have 32 bit emulation available.  Could you please check your 
config file for the status of the symbol CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION in your 
running kernel ?  The quick way to try, which may not work, is
   zgrep CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION /proc/config.gz

Hello!
I'm having troubles using IA32 applications under debian-amd64.
First, I installed ia32-libs with apt-get. I noticed that ia32-libs 
description/docs do not mention 'chroot' at all but claim that ia32 
Linux applications can be executed on 64-bit systems. So I hoped 
that I would be able just run ia32 binaries as promised. But in 
reality I got cannot execute binary file errors.

Next I tried to get into ia32 enviroment with `chroot 
/emul/ia32-linux/' command but it didn't work saying that '/bin/bash' 
is missing. I checked ia32-libs package and indeed it did not provide 
'/bin/bash'.

I decided to follow FAQ with debootstrap'ing. So I run
debootstrap --arch i386 sid /emul/ia32-linux/ 
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian

It did a lot of checking/installing/validating/extracting but finally 
ended up with the following

chroot: cannot run command `mount': Exec format error
W: Failure trying to run: chroot /emul/ia32-linux mount -t proc proc 
/proc
umount: /emul/ia32-linux/dev/pts: not found
umount: /emul/ia32-linux/dev/shm: not found
umount: /emul/ia32-linux/proc/bus/usb: not found
umount: /emul/ia32-linux/proc: not mounted

So debootstrap installed a lot of IA32 stuff including '/bin/bash' 
but that stuff still does not work.
In particular, chroot'ing now reports

# chroot /emul/ia32-linux/
chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error
The same error appears on attempts to run any other application with 
'dchroot'.

At the same time 'file /emul/ia32-linux/bin/bash' reports
/emul/ia32-linux/bin/bash: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, 
version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, dynamically linked (uses 
shared libs), stripped
which looks OK to me.

So I got stuck. Please advise.
Thanks,
Max

What could be wrong?
It looks like a hospital invervention went horribly wrong, and I can 
only hope the child will recover from this.
During surgery, the child for some reason was too excited, the doctor's 
knife may have slipped, and the operation failed.
It's hard to tell exactly what went wrong without more details.

Alternatively, it could just be a permissions issue -- the user's home 
directory must be mounted in /etc/fstab along these lines:

/home/ilona /var/chroot/sid-ia32/home/ilona  none   bind
0   0

Otherwise openoffice can't write to the .openoffice for that user.
Cheers,
Dave

Can I install desktops like Gnome from NET inst?

2005-03-13 Thread Rupert Heesom
I will shortly be trying to install Debian 64 onto a dual-opteron
machine.

I also want to install support for an Nvidia graphics card and the Gnome
desktop.  I've seen instructions here about handling the NVidia
graphics.  

What I don't understand so far is whether the netinst CD downloads the
necessary files for nvidia support and (optionally) the Gnome (or KDE)
desktop.

Does the net install CD only install the kernel/progs/IA32 chroot etc
and leave you to install anything further such as workstation desktop
etc?

Which version of AMD64 install?

2005-03-13 Thread Rupert Heesom
I've looked through the mailing list and HOWTO, found some info re what
the different versions of AMD64 do, but I'm still a little confused
about which one (if any) is right for me.

My needs are:  

Installing onto dual Opteron machine, used as server  workstation
Would like to run 64bit if possible.
Will need to run IA32 chroot environment as well.
Workstation usability more an issue than security.

It seems to me that it doesn't matter which version:  Sarge, SID, GCCxx
I use.

I remember reading that the net install CD for sarge and SID are now the
same thing?

What is the gcc version compared to the others?  IE I know that gcc
compiler 3.x and 4.0 are used, but that don't mean much to me.  What gcc
version does sarge  SID use?

Re: New ATI fglrx drivers work with AMD64

2005-03-13 Thread Max
Manuel,
These MTRR errors are the reason why direct rendering does not work.
I've just faced a similar problem. Hopefully, in my Tyan Tiger K8W S2875 BIOS setup there is an 
option MTRR Mapping which can be either Continuous or Discrete. The former explicitly 
describes the PCI hole as non-cacheable while the latter leaves the PCI hole below the 
4G boundary undescribed. Continuous is default. All MTRR errors and fglrx direct rendering 
ability had been fixed when I switched MTRR Mapping to Discrete.
You can see the current MTRR state with 'cat /proc/mtrr'.
This is how my MTRR looked with Continuous mapping:
reg00: base=0x (   0MB), size=4096MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0x1 (4096MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1
reg02: base=0xc000 (3072MB), size=1024MB: uncachable, count=1    this 
was problematic
And how they look now:
reg00: base=0x1 (4096MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0x (   0MB), size=2048MB: write-back, count=1
reg02: base=0x8000 (2048MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1
reg03: base=0xe000 (3584MB), size= 128MB: write-combining, count=1
reg04: base=0xf000 (3840MB), size= 128MB: write-combining, count=1
I guess that two 128Mb regions are video card memory and AGP aperture.

More ooo/chroot problems

2005-03-13 Thread Angus Mackenzie
Sorry to have to add to the large number of entries on this subject.

I have pure64 running very smoothly on an Asus K8V-X motherboard with a 3400 
processor. It has been acting as a cups print server for a usb printer for 
the rest of my network.

A couple of days ago I felt the need to try to get openoffice going with the 
chroot process described in the amd64 howto. All seems to be going quite 
well; when I type oowriter in a shell, an oowriter window comes up, complete 
with icons on the toolbars and a default frame. Unfortunately it doesn't 
display any fonts in the frame or windows.

Should I have an XF86Config-4 in the chroot, to set font paths? My limited 
understanding suggested that would be the job of X running outside the 
chroot. I have downloaded and installed only the packages suggested in the 
Howto.

I suppose I could use rdesktop or nx to access openoffice on a 386 machine 
running sarge a metre away, but it would be nice to be migrating to the AMD 
64 machine for most of my desktop work.

I'm sure I should have given more information but I'm not sure what

Suggestions?

+++
Hi,
I have used the netinst CD several times recently. I would
recommend just getting the base system installed first and
then working on the many options after the netinst is done.
The first step after booting the netinst CD and getting the
partitions and network configured and a small part of the CD
packages installed is the reboot. Remove the CD as
instructed and then reboot to finish the basic Debian.
The Installer will continue after rebooting without the CD
and begin to download many additional packages from the
internet until the Debian can function at a minimal level.
The very last step is to either install optional packages
or quit and install them later. The options include a choice
called the Desktop and I think that installs Gnome. There
are also options for File Server, DNS Server and also a
choice of Manual Package Selection. Or you can make no
choice and just finish. Then everything is ready to be
customized in any way imaginable at any time thereafter.
Have fun. The installer worries about everything else.
P.S The sid gcc is version 3.3.5 and I think sarge is the
same. I have both sid and sarge installed. Use the matching
netinst as you choose. The real choice is pure64 == sid
or debian-pure64 == sarge. Even pure64 for sarge will
turn out to be sid. That is just trivia. Sid is a good
distribution anyway.
Edit the sources.list during installation as you choose:
deb http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/pure64 sid main
deb http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/debian-pure64 
sarge main

Re: New ATI fglrx drivers work with AMD64

2005-03-13 Thread Max
Jan,
I did the same things except that I copied fglrx32 libraries from the actual 
debian-i386 installation and used 'apt-get install' within chroot for the rest 
required packages (e.g., xlibs etc.). I also mounted tmpfs from within chroot 
(not from outside like you did) with the command 'mount -t tmpfs tmpfs 
/dev/shm'.
And now DOOM 3 runs under my debian-amd64!!! Speed is not worse than under 
debian-i386.
There are still some problems though that require further investigation. In 
particular, it hang up when I tried to load a saved game. Anyway it's a good 
start ;)

I did not change the kernel which was installed in December 2004.

ran apt-get update
Using Synaptic, I did the update in batches, upgrading the things that
I use most first. The package that failed was adduser, while trying to
remove some files and directories that did not exist. I re-ran the
update and it complained that there were files that could not be found
(in the archive).
Close Synaptic and could not run anything, including shutdown.

At reboot:
... my disks get mounted ...
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
exec: 426: chroot: not found
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

Google was not my friend here and I cannot find this error in the
archives.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Re: More ooo/chroot problems - solved

My ia-32 chroot version of openoffice ran but had no fonts in the window

Lucien Saviot suggested I installed ttf-bitstream-vera in the chroot

That plus its dependencies solved the problem; ooo now seems to perform

Another program for burning dvds

Since I tried to burnt 5 dvds with k3b (it's very unstable, maybe
developers should focus on bugs instead on new features??) and none of
them is being read by any of the readers I tried I ask for another

Completely coincidentally, I actually installed this this morning, but 
I've been having issues.

1. It keeps saying that I need to install ProDVD support before I can 
write DVDs. Now, I can find the cdrecord-prodvd source (I think), but is 
there a package for it somewhere?

2. Even though I've enabled scsi emulation on my DVD drive (added 
hdd=ide-scsi to my grub kernel line, and have had to change the 
mountpoint of /media/cdrom1 to /dev/scd1), when I select [3,0,0] from 
the Device-Scan part of the XCDroast setup, it says that I've selected 
an ATAPI device as my CD writer. There is an ATAPI version of my DVD 
drive about, but I don't select it! Curses.

Any suggestions?

lm-sensors and Abit AV8

Hi!
Anybody running an Abit AV8 motherboard, and got the lm-sensors running?
I cannot see the cpu temperatures, but the voltages are ok. I get -1, so I 
guess SOMETHING is there..

way to get the stuff on a dos-floppy..

Try http://www.xcdroast.org/manual/dvd.html

There is no debian package. I think it's because of the license and
there is no source code included.

I chose to ignore it because the 2.01a11 version is older than
2.01-pre-x86_64. Haven't tested it yet though.

Re: Another program for burning dvds

/usr/share/doc/cdrecord/README.DVD.Debian describes four official ways to 
burn DVD under Debian.
Personally, I like the last one with patched cdrecord which is to be manually 
compiled. There are simple instructions for that. But to get the job done you 
may need to additionally install the following packages: dpatch autotools-dev 
smake
Good luck!

(2004-09-14) Actually a Winbond W83L950D in disguise (despite Abit 
claiming it is a new microprocessor designed by the ABIT Engineers) 
with many Abit-specific additions. A driver was requested by several 
users but no datasheet is available from Abit, so we cannot help. We do 
not support undocumented chips.

Lately, fewer and fewer chips seem to work with lm-sensors, in addition 
to all recent Abit boards, I didn't have any luck with two recent Asus 
boards either. Can't blame the lm-sensors developers though. What I 
can't really figure is the reason of the motherboard manufacturers to 
keep such simple things so secretive.

Yes, Debian works fine. Follow the instructions in the
Debian AMD64 HOWTO.
I don't use 32 bit anything on AMD64. I can chroot to some
more 64 bit installations. This is what I do:
Either install debian from the Installer in a new partition
or use debootstrap to build a debian in a new partition.
Then mount the partitions as the HOWTO and then chroot to
that partition. The big puzzle is getting the mounts setup
and the bind mounts before trying to chroot.
Or boot the new debian and chroot to ubuntu.

Re: Which version of AMD64 install?

2005-03-13 Thread Aritz Beraza Garayalde [Rei]
 I've looked through the mailing list and HOWTO, found some info re what
 the different versions of AMD64 do, but I'm still a little confused
 about which one (if any) is right for me.
 

Right now your choices are mainly if you want sarge or sid. In case
you want sarge, you have 2 more options: pure64, the one being
maintained, or gcc3.4, at your own risk (so you will probably choose
pure64).

 My needs are:
 
 Installing onto dual Opteron machine, used as server  workstation
 Would like to run 64bit if possible.
 Will need to run IA32 chroot environment as well.
 Workstation usability more an issue than security.
 
 It seems to me that it doesn't matter which version:  Sarge, SID, GCCxx
 I use.
 

that's true, all of them fullfill your requests.

 I remember reading that the net install CD for sarge and SID are now the
 same thing?
 

In the begining there was a port of the sarge netinst for sid-pure64,
right now i don't know if there are 2 installers (one for sid and one
for sarge). I reinstalled my sistem 2 weeks ago using DFS live-CD. I
cdebootstrap all the packages from the network, so with DFS you can
install all debian amd64 flavours with just one command (althoug this
method it's not suitable for everybody as you will have to edit some
configuration files from scratch, so it's better if you know a bit of
how debian works first).

 What is the gcc version compared to the others?  IE I know that gcc
 compiler 3.x and 4.0 are used, but that don't mean much to me.  What gcc
 version does sarge  SID use?
 

sid-pure64 has gcc3.3 and 3.4 available, kernel-images are compiled
with 3.4, but all other packages are compiled with gcc3.3

sid-gcc3.4 has packages compiled with either gcc3.4 or gcc4

  64bit install 'production' I decided to use the 32bit sarge space to do a
  fresh amd64 system ('test') and I stupidly let the installer install grub.  
  Well
  apart from having to mount and edit the 'production' fstab, I managed to

  succeeded

  Unfortunately, I don't have a floppy on this machine and so I have to
  repeat the 'test' install to get grub installed to the master boot
  record.  So the installer is successfully installing grub on the mbr.
  
  I've tried this a number of times but not making headway but before
  filing a bug report, I thought I'd check here first.
  
 
 This is a known bug of grub, i had it 2 weeks ago. You won't be able
 to install it by hand. I think it is a conflict with something in the
 kernel as it only hapens with some versions of the kernel. For
 example, with an old 2.6.6 grub works fine installing in the mbr,
 but not for newer kernels like 2.6.8 or 2.6.10. You can download DFS
 live-cd and try to install grub chrooting to you debian 64
 installation. I thing DFS can boot with an amd64 ready 2.6.4 o 2.6.6
 kernel.
Thanks Aritz

DSL got me a grub boot disk - thanks.  

Strangely, amd64 ready 2.6.4 o 2.6.6 kernels booted fine but nothing
appeared when typing 'root' to login.  Booting off the first 32 bit
kernel worked fine.

I haven't yet tried to chroot into my production system to fix grub -
another little project, once I get some more time ;)

Regards

Clive

 Have you tried to boot using noexec=off on the kernel command
 line?
Thanks but it's not even getting to the kernel options.  The problem is
that grub isn't being wrtitten to the Master Boot Record.

libc6 install problem

2005-03-13 Thread Clive Menzies
Hi

Doing a fresh install on my Acer laptop,which is already running pure64
on other partition, I've running into a significant problem.

After rebooting halfway through the install, aptitude started and went
through the intital download of packages but seemed to barf on libc6.

dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.2-ds1-20-amd64.deb
trying to overwrite /usr/lib64

I've tried 'aptitude install libc6' with the same result.  I've already
had to repeat the install once for this because aptitude removed locales
(depends libc6) and I couldn't recover.

Regards

Clive

What is the installer type and date used here?
What is the sources.list used?
This seems like an old problem that has already been fixed.
Does the error say which is also in package base-files?
I had to fix this on previous installs except not recently.
1. Check if there are links installed or make them by hand:
/lib - /lib64
/usr/lib - /usr/lib64
2. Try to force install the libc6 overriding the problem.
3. Be sure the sarge installer uses debian-pure64 and
   the sid installer uses pure64 archives.
4. Mount the partition from a good install and update the
files by hand. (this is a little more difficult)
5. Wait for somebody who knows the answer.
Also, I think your MBR is corrupted with your lilo and grub.
With DOS use fdisk /mbr if you can get at the disk. Then
grub should install if that was the problem. There are ways
to fix the mbr using various additional techniques I don't
remember.

Monitor Out of Range Error with xf86

2005-03-13 Thread Patrick Carlson
Hello.  I brought my AMD64 system home over spring break and I'm
trying to configure it for another monitor.  Whenever I try to
configure with xf86config, and startx, it the monitor goes gray with
wavey lines and says out of range.  I looked up the properties on my
gateway EV900 monitor and everything seems correct.  I can't seem to
figure out what the problem is.  Everything works great with my other
monitor.  If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
 Thank you!

I am talking about the system used to install grub on
your MBR. noexec=off switches off the NX feature of
your AMD64 CPU.
AFAIK a fix is in grub's CVS.
Good luck

Re: Monitor Out of Range Error with xf86

2005-03-13 Thread Chris Wakefield
Hi Patrick.

Post the output of:

# cat /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

so we can see your config file.
also post your video card model and information (just for fun  just in case):

:~$ lspci|grep VGA or just:  :~$ lspci

Also, meanwhile try using:

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86This method is a little more up to date I 
believe. (as opposed to xf86config).

unless you are using Xorg instead of xfree86, in which case I wouldn't know 
what to suggest.

Chris W.
