Ok, several problems I had.

I've installed emacs20-dl and w3-el-e20.  Software works better when
it's there.

Hmmm  Looking at things, I'm still trying to figure out if w3 and
w3m are the same thing, just in and out of emacs dress.  I was getting
really convinced they were, now I'm pretty convinced they're not.  If I
haven't mentioned it recently, I *really* like w3m, even when I am in X.
There's a lot to be said for a text-mode browser with uniform
presentation across sites with very badly fscked HTML.

Ok.  Up and running now.

Any hints as to what the various "W3 Style Face #" correspond to?
I'm doing a sort of hunt-and-peck right now trying to figure out what
sort of markup they correspond to.

I'd check the build tree for something that looks like it ought to be
'no', and find out why it didn't build.

Access problem solved

[Carl Fink]

I solved the problem shortly after posting, and then twice sent
private rather than list-directed explanations by accident.

As a listmember pointed out, the problem was in my hosts.deny file,
not hosts.allow.  Once I read the man page carefully I changed the
line to ALL: ALL and telnet/ftp/smtp were locked.

Oddly, this *didn't* lock http (port 80), though.  A quick check of
inetd.conf indicated that inetd doesn't handle http connections.  So
I edited boa.conf to only "listen" for connections from 127.0.0.1. 
(I only have a web server at all to handle dwww.)  Now all ports are
closed.

Interestingly, the scanner at www.gsr.com still shows my ftp, smtp,
and telnet ports as "open".  My tests indicate that one can connect
to the port, but not actually do anything before my host closes the
connection again.  

Someone suggested using IPCHAINS.  The thing is, my only goal is to
lock *everyone* outside my local LAN out, while trusting everyone
within 198.162.  If I need more complex rules, I will investigate
IPCHAINS.

Thanks to those who replied.

No specific experience, however, this error message has been reported to

locale problem

[Sven Burgener]

Hello

Since doing a rather large dist-upgrade to woody recently, I have
been experiencing problems with my locale settings.

For one thing, I still cannot use German Umlauts with 'less'; it just
prints '?'s instead of the actual characters...

Another thing is when I upgrade packages, in the process of doing so,
I get this printed to the console:

 [...]
 perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
 perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
 LANGUAGE = (unset),
 LC_ALL = (unset),
 LC_TIME = "de_CH",
 LC_NUMERIC = "de_CH",
 LC_CTYPE = "de_CH",
 LC_MONETARY = "de_CH",
 LC_COLLATE = "de_CH",
 LANG = "de_CH.ISO-8859-1"
 are supported and installed on your system.
 perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
 host:~#

My locale should be set to "de_CH" (Switzerland, German part).
Am I missing a package that should be installed?

What things might need some fixing?

Cheers
Sven

Uh oh.  And you're still getting these log messages?  That's probably not
good.  It's possible that lsof could slip through the cracks, so to speak,
but it's pretty unlikely.

I've not worked with masquerading much; I use ipchains primarily for
firewalling.  It's possible (though, I think, fairly unlikely) that this
record is due to packets you're relaying for the Windows box.  That's easy
to test:

ipchains -I input 1 -s  -p udp -d 0.0.0.0/0 161 -l -j DENY

will block all traffic from the windows machine to port 161/udp ANYWHERE,
as it enters your Debian machine.  If you stop getting these REJECT
messages on your output chain and start getting DENY messages on your input
chain, then that's the deal.  If that's the case, then the Windows box is
likely running some sort of SNMP software, so you'll need to consult your
local Windows guru for further instructions.

Otherwise, it's not that.  Yank the rule:

ipchains -D input 1

I'm not very familiar with the Debian packages, as yet.  The only ones I
know of that deal with SNMP at all are snmp (the client), snmpd (the
server), and associated libraries.  It's been a while since I've done SNMP,
but I don't think that either of these two packages would cause this kind
of behavior; the port numbers look bogus.

SNMP is the Simple (ahem!) Network Management Protocol; it's basically
intended for monitoring and administering various devices across the
network.  The SNMP folks redid the terminology for no adequately-explained
reason (although I think the telephone companies may have had their fingers
in this pie)---rather than client/server, they have manager/agent.  Sorta
makes sense, but there's no reason to come up with new terms.

Anyway: manager (think network administrator sitting at a console watching
his network) sends out a query to one of the agents, which responds with
the requested data.  The manager also has the ability to write to the
agents (drop this route, reboot yourself), and there are provisions for
allowing the agents to send asynchronous notifications to the manager
(though those typically use port 162/udp on the manager side).  The data
supplied by each agent varies from machine to machine, but it typically
contains stuff like network performance metrics (# dropped packets),
network configuration (routing tables), and so forth.

It's been some time since I've worked with SNMP (I actually had to port a
manager, developed in-house, from Solaris  to Windows NT ), so the details are a little foggy.  The agents (== servers) do have
to listen on port 161/udp, but I don't know that there's any requirement
that the managers use a specific port.  Likewise, I think the agents can
send their response out any port, but 99 times out of 100, they'll just use
161/udp, since they've already got it open.  Since you seem to be sending
*to* port 161, that would suggest that you (or the windows box) is acting
as a manager.  That's not generally something that runs unless you
specifically start it, though.

Here's a thought---try installing ethereal, run it as root, and see if you
can't snoop the packets that are causing this message.  Filter on
destination IP and port; unfortunately, I don't remember the details of
ethereal's filter syntax.  There's also a good chance you'll have to
install libsnmp for the decode to work.

Then, drop the ipchains rule that's blocking this traffic and get a record
of what exactly is going on here.  Send that along, and we'll see if we
can't figure out what's happening.  (Once you've finished with ethereal,
you'll probably want to reload the rule.)

Good luck,

Richard

Don't know if this solves your problem, but you definitely should use
"repeat_type=raw" here.  And to complement the use of "raw" you should
specify the corresponding types/protocols for X and for gpm.

Mouse freezes in KDE 2.1 under unstable

[Bart Szyszka]

Hello,

I've finally gotten my X server working on this computer with an Ati Rage
128 All-InWonder Pro graphics card, but am having trouble with the mouse.
It's a generic two-button mouse hooked up to the PS/2 port. When I get
into KDE 2.1 under Debian unstable, the mouse jumps around to a few
places while Ksplash is loading things and I'm able to use it for a few
seconds, but then it freezes. If I open some programs by using my keyboard
and I close them, then sometimes the mouse will work again, but then it'll
freeze again. When it's working and I move it over some things, sometimes
it's as if it puts focus on something without me clicking on any buttons.
I'd
appreciate any help with this. I've uploaded a copy of my XF86Config-4 file
to:
http://www.gigabee.com/linuxextras/xf86config-4.txt

I have the latest stuff from Debian unstable. Is there anything I need to
add or
delete from this file? Any other files or programs that I should be looking
at?
It took me a while to get this X server up and running and I'm not even sure
what finally did it so I'm afraid of running anymore X configuraiton
programs
that could mess things up.

Happy New Year everyone!

- Bart

Ok, got it figured out.

If you don't already, add a 'source' package list line to your
/etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

As root, from a directory you don't mind building in:

$ apt-get update
$ apt-get source mutt

Get the appropriate comresseded mailbox patch, and follow directions for
applying patch, from:

http://www.spinnaker.de/mutt/compressed/
   
You need to create a new rules file from the old one as follows.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:debian]$ diff rules.old rules 
17c17,18
<   --with-pgp --with-mixmaster --with-ncurses --with-sasl 
---
>   --with-pgp --with-mixmaster --with-ncurses --with-sasl \
>   --enable-compressed

Build and make package.  Following assumes you're in the mutt source directory:

$ debian/rules build
$ debian/rules binary

If everything looks OK, install:

$ dpkg -i ../mutt.deb

You might want to place this on hold so it's not overwritten on your next 
upgrade:

$ echo "mutt hold" | dpkg --set-selections

Cheers.

Um.  --enable-compressed

I added this to the debian/rules script as a compile option, appears to

I do have that package, but this command turned up no output.

Just yesterday I got another machine connected to this one via a
second nic, and I have a windows machine attched that I'm
masquerading for, but that is not the IP i configured that machine
to be.  I'm certainly not knowingly running anything for SNMP, hell,
I don't even know what it is. :P  Any ideas, what I might be running
that would cause this?

Specifying configure options building from source?

[kmself]

I'm trying to build mutt from sources with the gzip patch.

How do I pass the option "--enable-gzip" when running 
"debian/rules binary"?  Specifying this on the command line doesn't seem
to work.  The Debian FAQ doesn't mention this, nor the dpkg-dev manpage.

i just leave my machine at the defaults, never had a problem. if you

at all(one of my machines had it's hardware clock off by more then

RE: Java???

[Vadik Kutsyy]

With JDK 1.2 they used to have two separate JDK packages for UNIX.  Sun
decided to drop one of them.  JRE is supported, and is part of Netscape 6 as
of today.  JRE is just a part of JDK, and can be downloaded from:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/jre/

PS: JDK included everything in JRE.
PS2:  Installation does not creates links to /usr/local/bin, so you need to

(First, sorry about the lack of references headers; I wanted to reply to
the original post in the thread, but I'd already deleted it.  Cut-n-paste
off the archives on debian's web site.)

Now, to those who asked which tool was generating these log entries: kernel
2.2's firewalling code, as controlled by ipchains(8).  (Thus the `kernel'
label.)

However, I'm feeling really stupid about now.  I only just noticed (after 3
posts!)  that these messages are being generated from an *output* chain,
rather than an input chain.  (That, of course, would be why it says `output
REJECT' instead of `input REJECT.')  Everything I've said on this thread
has dealt with INPUT chains and is therefore completely irrelevant.  
(It's still useful, of course, if you get unexplained crud from an input
chain.)

You're not getting scanned, JD.  You're actually trying to *send* a packet
to 172.16.72.113, port 161/udp (SNMP), from IP xx.xx.xx.xx, port 61662/udp.
Your firewall rules don't allow this traffic to leave your machine.  (If
xx.xx.xx.xx isn't your IP, then you're forwarding it instead---I think.  I
can't check that, since I've only got the one machine.)

Now, find out *who's* sending this traffic.  Make sure you've got the
lsof-2.2 package installed.  As root, run

lsof | grep 61662 | grep -i udp

The first and second fields are the name and pid, respectively, of the
program(s) which have this socket open.  The next step depends on what you
find there.  If you're actually trying to run an SNMP manager, then it
looks like you've misconfigured it.  Otherwise, you'll need to revisit your
firewall rules to allow outgoing traffic to the SNMP agents you're trying
to administer.  If you're *not* trying to run SNMP, then you may have a
fairly serious problem---somebody may have managed to get onto your system
and run a process that probably shouldn't be there.

I'm a little surprised by the fact that you're trying to send from 61662; I
thought that was a port in the range reserved by the kernel for IP
masquerading.  I could be wrong, though, so I wouldn't worry about that too
much.

Also, I *think* I've figured out what the (#43) means.  I'm fairly, but not
completely, certain that this is the index number of the ruleset in the
named chain (here, output) which caused the packet to be blocked.  This may
be helpful in rewriting your firewall rules.  (I do wish that ipchain's log
output format was documented better.)

Sorry for the misinformation,

upgrade to 2.2.18

[patd]

hi all

i just finished upgrading my machine to the stable 2.2.18 kernel and
everything seems to be working fine.  i just have a bunch of little
questions someone could shed light on.  

1)  CMD640 & RZ1000 IDE CHIPSET?
when configuring the kernel, one has the option to include
work arounds for the CMD640 and RZ1000 ide controller.  i have 
an FIC PA-2013 motherboard using the VIA APOLLO MVP3
chipset.  am i susceptible to this problem?  i compiled them
in anyways since it was the suggested thing to do.

2)  hwclock and ntp
i run ntp to keep my system time correct.  i didn't even know
that i update my hardware clock until i came across
/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh, which update the hw clock during
shutdown and updates the system clock during boot-up.  i
hardly ever shutdown my system - should i even bother updating
my hw clock?  i can see the advantage of saving the system to
the hw during shutdown, but i probably should not set the
system time from hw during boot-up since ntp will do this for
me.  also i read somewhere that the hw clock is updated from
the system clock every 11 minutes.  is this really necessary?
if not how do i stop this?

3)  update-modules /lib/modules/2.2.18
i've updated my modules.conf by turning off the following
network protocols:
 alias net-pf-3 off  # Amateur Radio AX.25
 alias net-pf-4 off  # IPX
 alias net-pf-5 off  # DDP / appletalk
 alias net-pf-6 off  # Amateur Radio NET/ROM
 alias net-pf-9 off  # X.25
 alias net-pf-11 off # ROSE / Amateur RadioX.25 PLP
 alias net-pf-19 off # Acorn Econet
chances are i don't need these modules.  i then ran
update-modules but now i get this message during start-up:

Dec 31 16:59:52 yakko modprobe: Note:
/etc/modules.conf is more recent than
/lib/modules/2.2.18/modules.dep
 
is this normal?  should i touch modules.dep to get rid of this 
warning or did i do something wrong.

thanks

Several hacks come to mind:

  - Copy the files and grep the copies (does this change the
timestamps?)

  - Remount the partition read-only.

  - Build a tool to check timestamps, save them, grep the files, then
reapply the timestamps with 'touch'.

/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/0dns-up for ipppd ?

[Felix Natter]

hi,

I was pleased to see that there is a file in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d that
does the dynamic nameserver-assignment (option usepeerdns) for pppd
(probably created by pppconfig).

Now I would like to know if there is anything similar for ipppd
(option ms-get-dns) ? The above file would most probably work
except for the fact that the environment variables are called MS_DNS1/2
instead of DNS1/2.

thanks,

I doubt it. The point of the timestamps are to be accurate. However, you 
might
be able to hack the inode afterwards, not that I'd recommend it.

Like he said .

The usefull stuff is:

  - userid specification
  - password specification
  - phone number
  - DNS
  - Any initialization strings or modifications to the standard 'ogin'
'assword' expect strings.  That's '(Login|login)', usually, and
'(Password|password)', trimming off the initial letter usually
insures standard handling.

The scripts provided are almost always broken or incompatible with
current GNU/Linux configurations.  Check them for the above information.

While I agree snort is a good tool, I fail to see why the poster
blanked out the source address but left the dest address.  Therefore
all speculation about "where" this packet came from is a bit
premature.

Come ON people, 172.16.0.0/12 is part of RFC 1918 Private Network
Addresses.  Also, in this case it's the poster's IP address (must be
using NAT somewhere along the way).

My (worthless) guess:  the provider just got a new HP Openview box and
it's doing autodiscovery on the network.

Once the CDROM is properly detected, the mounting/unmounting is handled
within the installation process.  Manually mounting/umounting the device
is likely to fubar the process (nothing irreperable, the installer just
expects to find the device in one state or the other and gets upset when
it's not).  Yes, you can switch to another virtual console and mount the
device.  Usually specifying filesystem type, device, and moutpoint:

$ mount -t iso9660 /dev/ /cdrom

Officially, even.  It's listed in the README, as Marco d'Itri (mutt
maintainer) pointed out in response to the bug report.  I've requested
it be added, as this breaks backward compatibility.

Meantime, I'm about to learn how to compile from sources and apply the
patch myself.  Tips, anyone?

In which case, you should have rather more verbose output.  Post it.

My general suggestion is to look at the Network Administrator's Guide
(NAG).  You should have a version under /usr/docs/ldp-nag (or can
install it with the appropriate package).

You can also access the PPP chapter online at:

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linag2/book/ch08.html

If you can't identify the problem through your ppp/chat scripts, try
manually connecting to your ISP via minicom.

When I say "could be a lot of things", there may be specific
modifications in your ISP configurations, such as how you specify,
quote, or preface your userid and/or password.  Seeing the interactive
output is very helpful in debugging these issues.  See also your ISPs
support pages.  Almost *all* ISPs now provide instructions on how to
connect via GNU/Linux, even if they don't officially support it.

Cheers.

I don't know what tool generated this log entry. This is a situation where a
good IDS such as snort would shed a lot of light. For example, grepping a
set of snort rules for that port yields:

misc-lib:alert udp any any -> $HOME_NET 161 (msg: "SNMP public access"; 
content:"public";)

misc-lib:alert udp !$HOME_NET any -> $HOME_NET 161 (msg:"BUGTRAQ ID 1009 - 
Possible attempt at Bay/Nortel Nautica Marlin DoS); dsize:0;) 

netbios-lib:alert udp !$HOME_NET any -> $HOME_NET 161 
(msg:"NETBIOS-SNMP-NT-UserList"; content:"|2b 06 10 40 14 d1 02 19|";) 

vision.conf:alert UDP $EXTERNAL any -> $INTERNAL 161 (msg: 
"IDS333/SNMP-NT-UserList"; content: "|2b 06 10 40 14 d1 02 19|";)

Follow up by surfing to (see last line above)

http://www.whitehats.com/IDS/333

and also that Bugtraq ID looks interesting.

What I gather is that this could be a student at isi.edu, which is
apparently part of the Univ. of California, trying his or her hand at
configuring an NT box in some weird way. Who knows?

I would send a very nice comment to someone there along with your data and
see what comes of it.

Either way, it's still a private IP address range.  NOBODY should let
packets with one of these addresses, either as source or destination, cross
a network boundary.  If the ISP is getting this traffic from its upstrea
provider, it should configure the router between it and the provider to
drop all private address ranges, and let the provider know it's leaking
private IPs.

Sorry, should have clarified this in my post, but 172.16.72.113 is the
*destination* address---i.e., the IP address of the machine doing the
logging.  Doing lookups on this aren't going help (even if it weren't a
private IP address.)  The source address was blocked out by the original
poster.

Could be a lot of things.  For starters, set debug on -- you can do this
through pppconfig by modifying your existing script.

I would ask my ISP if it was coming from them or from their upstream
provider.
I had some odd stuff appearing in my logs once, coming from the same

Linux Progress Patch for Debian available!

[Raphael Bossek]

http://master.debian.org/~bossekr/

hi Debian users,

for all of you looking for a graphical start screen, this is the right patch. 
I've modified it a little bit
so more init scripts are supported and a additional patch against the latest 
linux-2.4.0-test12 is part of
this tarball too!

The official project page from the Linux Progress Patch is 
http://lpp.freelords.org/.

You can find here the latest informations about the implementation and some 
additional themes (http://lpp.freelords.org/Themes.phtml) of course!

Applying the patch against your kernel (you need a VESA2.0 or compilant 
graphics card to get framebuffer device working!) you get the following result: 
http://master.debian.org/~bossekr/debian-lpp.png

If you are now thinking about XDM and how to make it more Debian GNU/Linux 
compilant, take a look at http://x.themes.org/ ! I've found some interesting 
configurations for XDM there :)

port 161 is snmp, so it looks like someone´s trying to get information 
 about your machine (or something at your ISP or the like is 
 misconfigured), proto 17 is UDP which fits snugly since snmp is 
 udp-based.

Someone (xx.xx.xx.xx) is poking at your SNMP port.

Use /etc/protocols to map from PROTO=17 to udp, and then /etc/services to
map from 161/udp to SNMP.  (For those who don't know, SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol) is a protocol system originally intended for
monitoring and administering networked devices remotely.)

I'm having to guess, based on RFC 760, but I think the other fields are:

* L: packet length
* S: type of service -- see RFC 760
* I: identification #; aids in reassembling fragments
* F: fragment offset, possibly with the IP flags thrown in?
* T: time to live.
* and I don't know what (#43) represents.

(If someone knows better, I'd love to hear corrections.)  These are most
probably not relevant here.

Did you change your IP address in the above report?  IIRC, 172.16.*.* is
a block of private addresses.  Packets to this address should be dropped
automatically by an upstream router.  My guess, therefore, is that these
transmissions are coming from somewhere else in your network---probably a
misconfigured SNMP manager who thinks you're an agent.

If it's *not* somewhere else in your network, then to try to find out where
it's coming from, do an nslookup on the source IP (the address you've
blocked out) to get its domain, then try doing a whois lookup on that
domain to see who's responsible for it.  (And bug your sysadmins to drop
packets coming in from outside your network addressed to the private
address ranges.)

For example, try typing `whois gmx.net' to see the kind of information you
should be able to get.

HTH,

Richard

Indeed if your mouse is a PS/2 this is the entry you should have:

Section "Pointer"
   Protocol"IMPS/2"
   Device  "/dev/psaux"
   ZAxisMapping 4 5
EndSection 

 Never use "Emulate3Buttons", it spoils the wheel behaviour.

the old soundblaster cd roms were proprietary and
ran off the sound card's controller. Because of
this, it doesn't show up in the bios.
see the CD ROM HOWTO:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/CDROM-HOWTO.html
and see the section 3.3 Proprietary CD-ROM
Drives.
the soundblaster should use the spbcd kernel
driver. 
I believe the lilo boot parameter

should work. see section 4.3 Creating Device
Files and Setting Boot Time Parameters in the CD
ROM HOWTO.

how to grep without changing timestamps?

[Maciej Kalisiak]

Hello all,

Is it possible to grep a ton of files without modifying their date/timestamps?
Currently if I use grep, it changes the access time of all files touched,
which causes mutt to lose track of the folders which have new mail (I guess it
looks at the timestamp last modified and last accessed to figure this out).
Occasionally I do want to include the mail folders in my greps, so bypassing
the "mail" directory is not a solution.

  Imwheel is, in principle, not necessary to make the wheel work. The wheel
support can be implemented directly in applications. KDE has built-in wheel
support, so the only required thing is the line "ZAxisMapping 4 5" in
XF86Config. The same is true for Gnome apps or Staroffice, for example.
Imwheel is therefore needed only for apps without built-in wheel support.
  Netscape 4.X doesn't have wheel support, whereas Mozilla or Netscape 6
have. So two solutions :

1) launch imwheel in .xsession, not .xinitrc with a line like "exec
/usr/bin/X11/imwheel &". If gdm is Debian-compliant, it should use
.xsession.
2) abandon imwheel, as most modern apps have built-in wheel support.
Konqueror and Mozilla are very good now, even for Java, PHP or plugins.

  Hope it helps,

4 Mouse buttons with gpm?

[Sam Vilain]

Hi,

I've got a Logitech 4 button "MouseMan" (according to the label) mouse, and I 
can't get gpm to repeat the fourth button; it keeps being repeated as button 2.

This X configuration works (sacrificing gpm, of course):

[/etc/X11/XF86Config-4]
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Generic Mouse"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "CorePointer"
Option  "Protocol"  "MouseManPlusPS/2"
Option  "Device""/dev/psaux"
Option  "Buttons"   "4"
EndSection

The configuration that doesn't work properly is:
[/etc/gpm.conf]
device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
type=imps2
append="-l \"a-zA-Z0-9_.:~/\300-\326\330-\366\370-\377\" -b 9600 -S 
:/etc/gpm-special/middle:/etc/gpm-special/right"
repeat_type=ms3

[/etc/X11/XF86Config-4]
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Generic Mouse"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "CorePointer"
Option  "Protocol"  "Intellimouse"
Option  "Device""/dev/gpmdata"
Option  "Buttons"   "4"
EndSection

Does anyone know if this is possible?  There seems to be no "-4" option to gpm 
(or "-5" or ...), but it says in places it does allow wheel repeating, which 
IIRC are just 'buttons' as well.  I've tried the "mman" gpm mouse type, but it 
doesn't work at all.

Any ideas?

Can't get X server working in unstable with Ati All-In-Wonder 128 Pro

[Bart Szyszka]

(( If you've gotten this message twice, reply to this one. I had
accidentally
sent this from my dad's account. Please send replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and not [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Thanks! ))

I'm trying to setup my X server on a different computer and am having
trouble getting it to work. I have an Ati All-In-Wonder 128 Pro
graphics card with 32MB and have gotten the latest XFree86 stuff
from the unstable branch, but it just won't work. All the X11 messages
that I get when it doesn't work just say something to the effect that I
didn't select the right graphics card. There are several that seem to
be able to fit both on the SVGA server and Mach64. In Windows
when I view info on the card, it says some things about it being
Ati Rage 128 Pro so I tried the 'Ati Rage 128 (generic)' option and
that didn't work. I've also tried 'Ati All-In-Wonder' and 'Ati
All-In-Wonder Pro' without any success.

I'd appreciate some help with this. Is the problem on my end or the
packages in the unstbale branch? I want to setup KDE 2.1 since
I'm at home on vacation from my university and my dad has an
800mhz computer.   : )

What makes you think that a "very old" Creative (Panasonic) 2x CD-ROM is
going to be IDE?

Isn't /dev/sbpcd a better bet?  

I would try doing an lsmod, and checking to make sure that the sbpcd
module is loaded.  If not, try "modprobe sbpcd".

Difficulties with FvwmPager in fvwm2 (potato)

[Richard Cobbe]

Hello, all.

I'm running fvwm 2.2.4-2 on Debian 2.2r2 (potato), and there's something
that's been bugging me for a while.

I don't have an .fvwm2rc in my home directory, so fvwm looks at Debian's
/etc/X11/fvwm/system.fvwm2rc and then reads the various hook files in
~/.fvwm.  This generally works OK.  The only problem is the FvwmPager---I
don't like some of the options that are set in system.fvwm2rc, like the
font size and the geometry.

I've put the following properties in ~/.fvwm/post.hook:

*FvwmPagerGeometry  +894+42
*FvwmPagerFont  none
*FvwmPagerSmallFont none
*FvwmPagerDeskTopScale  25

and, as specified in the docs, the following in ~/.fvwm/init-restart.hook:

+ I Wait FvwmPager
+ I KillModule FvwmPager
+ I Module FvwmPager 0 0

However, this usually doesn't take.  I haven't been keeping careful
records, but probably 2/3 of the time, when I start fvwm, the pager is
started with the properties as set in system.fvwm2rc, not my overrides.
Usually, restarting fvwm will case my props to stick, but this isn't
consistent---this morning, I had to restart fvwm 5 or 6 times to get the
pager where I want it.

Since this is apparently not deterministic behavior, I suspect that there's
a race condition in there somewhere.  Has anyone found a reliable solution
for this?

Thanks,

Richard

How can I know it ? Where do I see it ?

How do I mount it ? Must I have to use the bash (Crtl+Alt+F2) and write

hard disk)

I`m waiting. Thanks !

I believe that anXious, with no other commandline options, runs 
"non-interactively". That is, it won't ask you any questions, and uses some 
default settings, *if* they work at all. It's possible that anXious has created 
an XF86Config file for you.

You may want to try running it this way:

anXious --forcesetup --forceconfig.

Typing "anXious --help" includes this info:

This program will automatically guess which step is needed based on what
is available on your system. You can force anXious to start from scratch
by using the --forcesetup and --forceconfig options.

I don't have a clue what you are referring to when you say relaying,
but your setup sounds closer to eximconfig's (2)-option: accept local mail
(fetchmail from your pop3-host) and send mail via smart-host (mail.gmx.ch).
I configured it like this, and now exim sends my mail in an ip-up script.

Re: newbie: 3c905C eth0 card not detected

[Gerjan Teselink]

Hi,

At the company I work we had the same problem (with the 2.0 kernel) and we
fixed it with a patch suplied by 3Com (the don't give any support on it) and
it seemed to go ok.. but then i generated kernel crashes. And it was on the
systems with the 3c905c cards. We have replaced them with 3c905b cards (wich
are a llitle bit expensiver in The Netherlands) but they work ok (after i
recompiled the kernel). I believe they are supported in the 2.2 kernel so I
will advise you if you want to stay with debian 2.1 to upgrade the kernel or
else the whole distribution.

Kind regards,

When the rescue disk is loading, does the boot kernel find the cdrom? It
should show up if the bios is finding it. If so then you should be able
to mount the cdrom as /dev/hdc for this purpose (providing you only have
1 hard disk).

I do not know how the details vary from version to version but on my
system (potato, logrotate-3.2) there is a script
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate.  Perhaps yours is in /etc/cron.weekly?  In
that case move it to /etc/cron.daily.  Various parameters for log
rotation may be set in /etc/logrotate.conf.

apsfilter message

[Marcelo Chiapparini]

Hi to all!

I am trying to setup the printer facility in my potato box at home, using 
apsfilter. 
However, when I try to print an ascii file nothing happens. But by now I am 
concerned 
about a weird message I got from my ISP! apparently apsfilter sent an email to 
my ISP
administrator, who is in vacations and sent to me automatically the email 
apsfilter 
sent to him. Below is the email the guy got from my box. My ISP is 
centroin.com.br, 
my account in my ISP is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Why did apsfilter sent an email 
to [EMAIL PROTECTED], instead [EMAIL PROTECTED] (micron is the name of my 
machine) or 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
Does it has to do with the exim.conf file? If it is the case, I want the emails 
with logs from applications send to [EMAIL PROTECTED], how can I do it?

Thanks in advance for the help!!!

How to use Exim with GMX and other quests

[Raffaele Sandrini]

Hi all

I have some Exim questions. I comming from a SuSE system wich uses 
Sendmail so i have very little knoledge about exim. First of all: I use 
Kmail to get my mail via POP3. I use a relay, mail.gmx.ch, for outgoing 
mail so i chose option 3 in eximconfig. If i try to send a local email 
(via Kmail) i.e to [EMAIL PROTECTED] then exim doesn't send anything. 
If i type sendmail -bp i get the mail in the queue... How can i say exim 
to deliver the mail.?
Secnd problem. GMX uses the today non-standard to login via SMTP 
(RFC-2554) as lots of cliants can do that. Is it possible to give exim a 
username and a password to login in the smarthost?

General question: Is better to use sendmail than exim i thought to use 
exim because the debian developpers would have thought something before 
they decided to use it apart of sendmail...
Thanks a lot.

potato_install

[Antonio Alberto Lobato]

I`m tryieng to install the potato with a CDROM debian. But, when I`m going
to install the "Kernel and Modules", the "dbootstrap" does not take-me the
option of install it with the CDROM, only: "fd0", "fd1", "hard disk" and
"mounted". Is it not recognizing my CDROM. Detail: my CDROM reader is very
old. It`s a Creative SB 2x (Panassonic).

I`d have a idea: I can Download the "Kernel and modules" from internet to
my Windows partition. Then, I choose the "hard disk". Who does can help-me
?

the system then halts. Does anyone know what may be causing this?
I buit another kernel from the same 2.4 source and it boots fine.

Then change /etc/postgresql/postmaster.init so that the postmaster allows
TCP/IP connections.  If you want to prevent access from other machines,
you can edit /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf to allow access only from localhost.

  Imwheel is, in principle, not necessary to make the wheel work. The wheel 
support can be implemented directly in applications. KDE has built-in wheel 
support, so the only required thing is the line "ZAxisMapping 4 5" in 
XF86Config. The same is true for Gnome apps or Staroffice, for example. 
Imwheel is therefore needed only for apps without built-in wheel support.
  Netscape 4.X doesn't have wheel support, whereas Mozilla or Netscape 6 
have. So two solutions :

1) launch imwheel in .xsession, not .xinitrc with a line like "exec 
/usr/bin/X11/imwheel &". If gdm is Debian-compliant, it should use .xsession.
2) abandon imwheel, as most modern apps have built-in wheel support. 
Konqueror and Mozilla are very good now, even for Java, PHP or plugins.

  Hope it helps,

If the machine's going to be up over this weekend, /dev/random might
be more of a problem since /etc/cron.millennial/standard will be
introducing extra chaos into the system.  The best fix is to install
anarcron, which runs cronjobs at random intervals.

To use the wheel you must add line for ZAxisMapping in your XF86Config.
Look at http://www.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/ That is a good
source for information how to get your wheelmouse working.

Probably of little help, but I saw the same problem occur at an install

But festival reports an error and exits if esd is not available.

The article I read said that they didn't want to support a separate
package anymore, and were telling people to just grab the JDK. *shrug*

Re: imwheel

[Rob VanFleet]

I'm assuming that since your KDE apps work correctly you have the ZAxisMapping
line in you XF86Config.  You don't need imwheel to make the wheel work with
netscape, just use this Xdefaults file kindly provided to me by Andrea
Vettorello:

http://linux.wku.edu/~rvf/Xdefaults.gz

You just need to gunzip into your home directory and add the following line to
your ~/.xsession file:

xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults

imwheel

[Mircea Luca]

Hi

I'm running unstable ,KDE2 ,gdm,kernel 2.4test12,X4 . My problem is
simple.The wheel won't work in Netscape unless I open an xterm and start
imwheel .The wheel works fine otherwise in other KDE apps altough if I
do an "ps aux | grep imwheel " it will show only the grep which means
AFAIK that imwheel doesn't work.
I tried to make .xinitrc and exec imwheel -that didn't work .
I know it's not related to kernel since it did the same thing with
2.2.18 and without devfs

Any ideas welcome

mozilla and .mailcap (and realplayer)

[Pedro I. Sanchez]

Hello,

Does Mozilla read .mailcap? It looks to me that it doesn't. I am trying 
to incorporate support for the realplayer and a few other applications 
and I want to believe that there is an automatic way of doing this other 
than manually adding each mime type entry using the mozilla dialogs. Is 
this possible?
