Re: Formatting umsdos partitions
Try using the vfat filesystem type. I think that this should work...I have it running (as a module) and it let me download a lot of stuff onto a FAT partition under NT 4.0 that saved everything with those nice filenames...works swimmingly.

virtual mail domains...
On Mon, 16 Dec 1996, Tim Sailer wrote: Now that exim is making it's debut in Debian, I'd like to try it out... I looked at the docs from it's home site, but the Virtual Domain stuff was not real obvious. Can someone who is using it (anyone?) post a quick example on setting up a virtual domain? [ snip ] We do virtual domains with POP3 here by using a custom local mailer and a modified version of qpopper. The first step is to create a virtual_pop transport, then a virtual_pop director, e.g. This seems crazy to me. Originally, this was that approach I was going to take. However, I didn't want to be forced to run a different MTA other than smail. Not that smail's all that great, but it's the beast I'm familiar with. Also, smail supposedly supports virtual domains, but you have to run multiple copies of it... which wasn't all that appealing. What I eventually settled on was to have it all done by elm's filter(1). The reason for this was because I realized that I didn't need virtual POP interfaces, I needed virtual addresses and that was it. In fact, I concluded that having accounts like [EMAIL PROTECTED] was a bad idea since they're not directly mapped to an individual and that the login and password would be probably known by several individuals at SomeCompany as the job of handling the info mail got passed on from employee to employee. So, I figured that what I really wanted were *aliases* that would send [EMAIL PROTECTED] to some single individual on the system. I was able to pull this off by aliasing names like info and sales to myself. Then, in my .elm/filter-rules file, I'd put lines like: if To contains client1.com and not To contains jemenake forward jjones if To contains client2.com and not To contains jemenake forward bsmith ... This worked like a charm! However, I wanted to take myself out of the loop. Now, filter supposedly allows for you to specify a certain rules file with the -f option. So, I tried putting the following in my /etc/aliases file: info: |/usr/bin/filter -f /etc/virt-aliases.filter But this doesn't seem to work (smail and filter are REAL finnicky about permissions and ownerships of files and what UID they're running as).

1.2 installation cache problem
I recently installed version 1.1 (successfully) and while going back to re-install for a new ethernet card, I trashed my installation boot disk. Since I could not find a replacement for 1.1 on the Debian ftp site, I decided it was a good time to install 1.2 so I downloaded all the files for 1.44 floppies onto my wintel machine. Now, when I begin the install, after the 'boot:' prompt, and after a number of hardware items are probed-for, I get the following error and it won't go away.

Aargh, what´s eating my serial IRQs?
I have a strange problem with a newly configured Debian system. The hardware is an Asus P55TP4 with a P166 CPU, a 3com 509b pp, 2940UW, ATI Mach64, no IDE drives. This system works fine under NT3.51. On Linux, however, there´s no Mouse support. The pnp card is configured by the BIOS and can be found at the default address when I insmod the proper driver (io=0x300, irq=10). During the boot, the system recognizes them as 16650 UART driven, and IRQtune sees them, too. But a cat /proc/interrupts shows neither IRQ 3 nor 4, and a cat /proc/ioports misses the 3E8/2F8. To confuse matters further, /dev/ttyS* seems now to be owned by dialout, and not by tty as on my system at home. Any ideas what I might try to get my serial ports to work?

Even if I tell make config to include slip/ppp/slhc in the kernel instead of as modules, I cannot use slip or ppp. I noticed these modules were advertised as being (NEW!) on the first compile. The kludge I used was to compile the kernel with my specifications, but use the /lib/modules/2.0.27-old directory instead of the one installed by the make modules_install. o Incidentally, I noticed the Latex2e distribution does not include a lot of the style files mentioned in some Latex2e books, and that are found with the teTeX distribution on our campus machines (specifically the directories in /usr/lib/texmf/tex/latex).

Re: icmpinfo (old thread)

That's theoretically, but I am only sure about the first three line. The first icmp port unreachable error are in responce to a udp(0x11) datagram send by localhost to localhost (7F00 0001 7F00 0001 ). The rest of the information shows, among others: id of undemultipled ip was 06FD id of ip of this icmp was 06FC (again, they were generated from the SAME host) The rest of the icmp port unrechable requests also are from localhost and for the same reason.

Re: Q: dselect and FTP
I've been installing, purging, etc several packages with dselect. After quitting I wanted to install some other thing and, to my surprise, ftp is no longer available as an Access method (just cdrom, nfs, harddisk, mounted, floppy). Probably I did something wrong when installing things, but what should I do now? Hi, I suppose you accidently purged dpkg-ftp. So reinstall the dpkg-ftp package from your CDROM or download it from ftp.debian.org . You can install it for example by dpkg -i pkgname . After reinstallation the ftp method should be available again in dselect. If you can't get it to work email me !

missing ethernet drivers
I just completed the 1.2 upgrade of a local college's web server, but when I did the system reboot this morning I lost all networking. Couldn't see the machine from anywhere else and couldn't see out from the machine. Did some checking... the network file in /etc/init.d is still set correctly, but when I run ifconfig eth0 nothing comes up... so all the eth0 settings/drivers are gone. Where can I find the ethernet drivers I need to reinstall so that I can get the network running? Or what I can do to get the network running again. Chad Chad D.

pppd only works once per reboot
I have run into a strange problem with a Debian machine I am setting up in my workplace. pppd only works once after a re-boot and then subsequent attempts to run pppd result in chat timing out and exiting on an alarm. What's strange, is that I can run chat from the bash shell's command line (redirecting its i/o to the serial port) and it dials up my Internet provider with no trouble at all. It's just when chat is invoked by pppd that it doesn't work (except for 1 time after a re-boot). Minicom also works with no problems at all. Strange. As far as debugging goes... I've enabled debugging on both pppd and chat. The only thing that the log files show is that chat doesn't appear to be getting any response from the modem (except when run the 1st time after a reboot by pppd, or anytime from the command line). FWIW, I'm running Debian 1.1.1, kernel version 2.0.0 and ppp version ppp_2.2.0f. I have ppp running successfully on my Debian machine at home with no problems and I thought I duplicated my home machine's setup on the work machine. Maybe I've missed something.

Bug#6047: badly initialized union in gcc include file
Package: gcc
Version: 2.7.2.1-2
-- Please describe the problems with the package here
Found a small syntactical blunder in
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.1/include/float.h:
/* float.h */
#ifndef _FLOAT_H___
#define _FLOAT_H___

/* Maximum int x such that 10**x is a representable long double */
#undef LDBL_MAX_10_EXP
#define LDBL_MAX_10_EXP 4932
#endif /* _FLOAT_H___ */
When initializing the int array in the union __convert_long_double, only a
single pair of braces is used, but since initialization rules apply
recursively, a pair is needed for both the union itself and the array.
Without them, innocent programs can generate compiler warnings.
Use the following code, compiled with -Wall, to demonstrate this:
#include stdio.h
#include float.h
void main(void)
{
/* These next two lines both generate this message:
* warning: missing braces around initializer for
* `(anonymous).__convert_long_double_i'
*/
printf(long double minimum = %Le\n, LDBL_MIN);
printf(long double maximum = %Le\n, LDBL_MAX);
}
This is probably something for the upstream maintainer.

apropos core dumps
Hi! I installed debian 1.14 a few weeks ago, and have found some problems. 1.- apropos finishes with a core dump, and there is no makewhatis command. 2.- mc fails to work saying that there is no libgpm.so 3.- I canot run executor, as I need libgdbm.so.2, and there is no package available with it... even rex has the libgdbm-1 Apart from this problems, I think debian is the definitive distribution. I work at the university as system administrator, and I plan to remove that old slackware in favor of debian. BTW, is there any way to install debian in a large group of computers without selecting the packages every time? Perhaps using a particular file as default packages selected?

We hope to do something with the Mystique, and Matrox are currently working on documentation for it. But we cannot talk time frames or delivery dates at all, as we don't have anything started yet. Right now for Comet*, Marvel*, Ultra, Impression, and Mystique owners, there are a couple of choices: Metro Link (MetroX) or Xinside.

When initializing the int array in the union __convert_long_double, only a
single pair of braces is used, but since initialization rules apply
recursively, a pair is needed for both the union itself and the array.
Without them, innocent programs can generate compiler warnings.
Use the following code, compiled with -Wall, to demonstrate this:
#include stdio.h
#include float.h
void main(void)
{
/* These next two lines both generate this message:
* warning: missing braces around initializer for
* `(anonymous).__convert_long_double_i'
*/
printf(long double minimum = %Le\n, LDBL_MIN);
printf(long double maximum = %Le\n, LDBL_MAX);
}
This is probably something for the upstream maintainer.

Large Harddrive Problems
I just bought a new Maxtor 3.5G drive on which I am going to put Debian 1.2 at home (I already have Debian at work). My motherboard at home is from early-mid 1995 and supports a Pentium 120. The Award BIOS (which definitely supports LBA) detects the new Maxtor and gives the correct settings, but states that the size of the drive is something like 1.395G. When I run fdisk from the Debian 1.2 floppies, it sees all 3.5G of the drive, but when I start to initialize file systems I get large numbers of errors (don't remember the exact error). The way I have it set up now, I have a 1G partition at the beginning of the drive for W95. If I try to give the rest of the drive to W95 in another partition, it too has errors upon formatting (but its fdisk also sees it as a 3.5G drive). It sounds to me like a BIOS problem. Maxtor provides software to make DOS/W95 see the entire disk, but will this solution work for Linux? Isn't there a work-around for this in Linux? I can no longer find the old Large-Harddrive HOWTO (although this may have addressed another problem).

RE: virtual mail domains... long-winded response
[ snip ] We do virtual domains with POP3 here by using a custom local mailer and a modified version of qpopper. The first step is to create a virtual_pop transport, then a virtual_pop director, e.g. This seems crazy to me. Originally, this was that approach I was going to take. However, I didn't want to be forced to run a different MTA other than smail. Not that smail's all that great, but it's the beast I'm familiar with. Also, smail supposedly supports virtual domains, but you have to run multiple copies of it... which wasn't all that appealing. What I eventually settled on was to have it all done by elm's filter(1). The reason for this was because I realized that I didn't need virtual POP interfaces, I needed virtual addresses and that was it. In fact, I concluded that having accounts like [EMAIL PROTECTED] was a bad idea since they're not directly mapped to an individual and that the login and password would be probably known by several individuals at SomeCompany as the job of handling the info mail got passed on from employee to employee. So, I figured that what I really wanted were *aliases* that would send [EMAIL PROTECTED] to some single individual on the system. I was able to pull this off by aliasing names like info and sales to myself. Then, in my .elm/filter-rules file, I'd put lines like: if To contains client1.com and not To contains jemenake forward jjones if To contains client2.com and not To contains jemenake forward bsmith ... This worked like a charm! However, I wanted to take myself out of the loop. Now, filter supposedly allows for you to specify a certain rules file with the -f option. So, I tried putting the following in my /etc/aliases file: info:|/usr/bin/filter -f /etc/virt-aliases.filter But this doesn't seem to work (smail and filter are REAL finnicky about permissions and ownerships of files and what UID they're running as). Any ideas or comments? - Joe Well as a customer (actually one of your customers Joe) that uses virtual domains for e-mail, I prefer to have my mail dumped into one mailbox; provided that I have the right information in the mail header to route the message locally. I have several Debian systems running masquerading and diald connected to some of the major ISPs in the Boise, Idaho area. They each support a network of between 6 and 20 Macs and PCs and use virtual domain service for their e-mail service from their ISP. To let the Macs and PCs on the LAN poll for mail whenever they want (without dialing to the ISP every time they want to check for e-mail), I've set up the Debian systems as sort of a mail gateway. All the clients point to the Debian boxes for their SMTP and POP mail servers. For outgoing mail, I run smail on the Debian box setup to relay mail to the ISP's SMTP mail server once every 30 minutes or so. I've seen two different ways ISPs handle incoming mail for virtual domains. The most common method I've seen for handling incoming virtual domain e-mail, is to dump all mail into a single pop account on the ISP's mail server. Unfortunately, I don't believe there is a standard on how to write the mail headers for the incoming mail messages so they can be reliably routed. Without getting into a really long-winded explanation about mail headers and MTAs and sendmail.cf files, to be able to reliably route mail locally from a multi-drop box, the MTA needs to write the SMTP recipient name somewhere in the mail header. The ISPs that I've dealt with generally write the SMTP recipient name in the for field of the Received line and/or in the X-Envelope-To: line. Unfortunately, the ISPs don't always get the recipient name into one of those fields correctly (although Cyberhighway now seems to get the X-Envelope-To: correct all the time). I've been working with the author of fetchmail (which I believe is now the best pop retrieval program going) to make multi-drop mail routing as reliable as possible. With (what I deem) proper configuration of the MTA at the ISP, fetchmail should be able to route mail from a multi-drop mailbox with 100% reliably. (If you'd like to talk about what I think is proper configuration of the MTA for virtual domain support, e-mail me directly) Given the popularity of virtual domain e-mail hosting, there should probably be an RFC for this sort of thing. The other way I've seen an ISP deal with virtual domain hosting for a dial-up account is to assign a static IP address to the dial-up account and then play some tricks with DNS and the MTA to get the mail to its final destination. Basically, the ISP assigns a static IP address to the dial-up account and puts two MX records in their DNS for the mail domain, like: mydomain.com. IN MX 0 mystaticip.myisp.com. mydomain.com. IN MX 10 mailhost.myisp.com. If the link is up when mail comes in, it goes to the right place. If the link is down, the mail will be sent to the ISP's

Zimmerman Editor: Web-Zine -- http://www.nmsu.edu/~czimmerm/Web-Zine/ Chad, I had a similar problem a few days ago, I think... I had used dselect to upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2. After working through some problems due to pre-depends and rebooting, I had the updated kernal and all, but could no longer use the ethernet card, or the cdrom (cdu33a - ugh). The ethernet was the easy fix. In my case, I have a 3com 3c509 card. What I needed to do was run modconf (I think that's it, I can't check right now since my Debian machine is dead until I get a new power supply) and install the module for the 3c509 card. After that the network card worked fine (until my power supply croaked...) The cdrom was a little trickier, and in the end I re-made the kernal so that I didn't have all those other cdrom's being probed during bootup. Hopefully your situation is similar enough that this helps.

Sound module
Hej all, I recently put up Debian on my machine, and think that it's a good system. There is one thing, that I would like to mention, on the new stable kernel release 2.0.27. I was using the debian 2.0.6 before, and after upgrading the sound module disappeared. Some other modules, the CD-ROM modules seem to have been put into the kernel, these are the modules mcd, mcdx, and others the like. When installing the 2.0.6, I tried to activate these modules for my CD-ROM (a NEC 4x CD-ROM), that was connected to an ATAPI interface (non PnP). Non of them worked, so they weren't installed. But with the new kernel, all of these try to probe for a CD-ROM, each in turn after the other... non of them finding my CD, even if it is connected to an active ATAPI interface. The older module 'cdrom', did find my CD and activated it, but now... the new release is blind as a bat. Failing all else, my CD-ROM works as /dev/hdc :-) But I miss the sound module... is there a sound module for the 2.0.27 kernel? Thanks for the help. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

java trouble
Hi I would appreciate any feedback from the list : I've tried to install the JDK package for Debian-1.2 and I can't run the appletviewer. I've installed motifnls, tk42, netscape, and other packages and I have checked the presence of libawt.so in the /usr/lib/jdk/i686/ directory. I've also added /usr/lib/jdk/i686 to the /etc/ld.so.conf and executed ldconfig. However, when I try to run the appletviewer (on a local file or on a http: file) I get the following message : [no properties loaded, using defaults] File not found (/usr/lib/jdk/i686/libawt.so) java.lang.NullPointerException at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary(Runtime.java) at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java) at sun.awt.motif.MToolkit.clinit(MToolkit.java:35) at java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(Toolkit.java:190) at java.awt.Window.getToolkit(Window.java:139) at java.awt.Frame.addNotify(Frame.java:82) at java.awt.Window.pack(Window.java:80) at sun.applet.AppletCopyright.init(AppletCopyright.java:41) at sun.applet.AppletViewer.main(AppletViewer.java:768) java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: init at sun.awt.motif.MToolkit.init(MToolkit.java:39) at java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(Toolkit.java:190) at java.awt.Window.getToolkit(Window.java:139) at java.awt.Frame.addNotify(Frame.java:82) at java.awt.Window.pack(Window.java:80) at sun.applet.AppletCopyright.init(AppletCopyright.java:41) at sun.applet.AppletViewer.main(AppletViewer.java:768) Thank you in advance for any help Olivier BOUSQUET Ecole Polytechnique 4eme Cie, Promotion 94 91128 Palaiseau, FRANCE tel : (33).1.69.33.50.68 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.polytechnique.fr/poly/~bousquet -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
