I'm not sure how closely you track the kernel but I've read several places that the "generic" kernel is rarely the choice for anything other then x86. the non x86 stuff is not always in sync, doesn't always work etc ...that said, where did you get the sources? I would expect the source package for whatever kernels debian has to build on the sparc. But if your getting a kernel directly from kernel.org it may not(without some patches). I don't have personal experience with linux on sparc yet, Downloading the woody ISOs for it now and plan to install it on my ultra 1 probably tomorrow though. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: simple exim configuration
Oops! I didn't send two of these to the list:

${local_part} is taken from the recipiant's email address. if someone
sent you an email (to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) the exim splits up the address on

local_part: paul

What process does that substitution?
I'm not exactly sure, to be honest...
I tried a little experiment below
woody:/usr/src/linux# exim -d8 -bt david
Exim version 3.35 debug level 8 uid=0 gid=0
Berkeley DB: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 2.7.7: (08/20/99)
Caller is an admin user
Caller is a trusted user
user name "root" extracted from gecos field "root"
address david@woody
local_part=david domain=woody
domain is local
system_aliases director: lsearch key=david
file="/etc/aliases"
system_aliases director declined for david:
userforward director: file = .forward
set uid=0 gid=0 euid=1000 egid=1000
successful stat of /home/david/.
/home/david/.forward not found
restored uid=0 gid=0 euid=8 egid=8
queued for local_delivery transport: local_part=david domain=woody
errors_to=NULL
domain_data=NULL local_part_data=NULL
localuser director succeeded for david
david@woody
deliver to david in domain woody
director = localuser, transport = local_delivery
I guess the debugging above indicates that it is set prior to any of the
delivery facilities configured in exim.conf...I dont know...is this
useful? maybe I'm not sure what info you are trying to find.
Yes, it's useful in that it leads to questions. My results are almost
identical except that domain for you is your hostname where for me it is
the username part of my e-mail address. The local_part for both of us
seems to be the argument for -bt.
The other difference is that I don't yet have a .forward file.
With my hostname in exim.conf I get results consistent with yours.
(snip)
That part was clear. I was just expecting local_part to be something
that I set somewhere else in exim.conf.
I think those are set at delivery time. if you were able to set them in
the config file, it would seem to me that all your mail would get dumped
in one box.
It's fairly clear that that is correct. local_part was the part after
the -bt in the test.
I will see if that change makes any mail appear anywhere.
Thanks,
Paul

Compiling a kernel on an UltraSparc?
Is there any special info on getting a 2.4.20 kernel to compile under woody on a Sun UltraSparc-1 Creator. Yes, the Debian Way (tm) -- or not, I don't care. Right now it fails at the "make dep" stage using either method. First it was some missing header files. Figured out where they were and got that fixed. Then it was "cannot execute cc1 -- no such file". Found it, linked it into /usr/bin. Now it an "invalid option to "cc1": "cc1 --mmedlow no such option" Cascading errors, yuck.

I don't think exim was the last programme to write to the file - it would have
set the mode to 660.
[or at least if its local_delivery that is delivering the file. It could be
being delivered by another route - for instance procmail?]
I am a little confused by what you are using in your mail chain after all the
advice. The simplest this is
Fetchmail ->smtp->exim->/var/spool/mail/paul->mutt
but for instance, I do
fetchmail ->smtp->exim (as MTA)->pipe->spamassassin->exim(as
sendmail)->$HOME/Maildir->courier->pop3->kmail
So you can end up with quite a range of things getting in the way.

can't set belgian dutch local
Hi, i'm trying to add euro support to my console and X environment. Now, to accomplish this i'm following the Debian Euro howto. 1) In chapter 3 there is a part on modifying a keymap. It basically deals with copying an existing keymap and adjusting it accordingly. I did that with the /usr/share/keymaps/i386/azerty/be-latin1.kmap.gz I added the changes according to the manual: $ echo "include \"euro\"" >>be-euro.kmap $ echo "altgr keycode 46 = cent" >>be-euro.kmap be-euro.kmap was the map i copied and changed. When i run kbdconfig command, i cannot install this keymap: After the initial screens, you get to select from a list of keymaps and the keymap (be-euro) isn't available. How can i do this via kbdconfig or another way? 2) I also saw that when i did dpkg-reconfigure -plow locales, that it made nl_BE@euro after i selected it but i cannot find it in /etc/locales.alias or isn't that important? It didn't procude errors so can i assume it worked? I hope to really solve this keyboard stuff so i hav my shift-L back in console.

#
# Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool.
#
# This is the main Apache server configuration file. It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/> for detailed information about
# the directives.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.
#
# The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:
# 1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a
# whole (the 'global environment').
# 2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server,
# which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host.
# These directives also provide default values for the settings
# of all virtual hosts.
# 3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to
# different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the
# same Apache server process.
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log"
# with ServerRoot set to "@@ServerRoot@@" will be interpreted by the
# server as "@@ServerRoot@@/logs/foo.log".
#
# NOTE: Where filenames are specified, you must use forward slashes
# instead of backslashes (e.g., "c:/apache" instead of "c:\apache").
# If a drive letter is omitted, the drive on which Apache.exe is located
# will be used by default. It is recommended that you always supply
# an explicit drive letter in absolute paths, however, to avoid
# confusion.
#
### Section 1: Global Environment
#
# The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,
# such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it
# can find its configuration files.
#
#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# NOTE! If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)
# mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation (available
# at http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mpm_common.html#lockfile>);
# you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
#
# Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.
#ServerType standalone
#
ServerRoot "C:/Apache2"
#
# ScoreBoardFile: File used to store internal server process information.
# If unspecified (the default), the scoreboard will be stored in an
# anonymous shared memory segment, and will be unavailable to third-party
# applications.
# If specified, ensure that no two invocations of Apache share the same
# scoreboard file. The scoreboard file MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL DISK.
#
#ScoreBoardFile logs/apache_runtime_status
#
# PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process
# identification number when it starts.
#
PidFile logs/httpd.pid
#
# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
#
Timeout 300
#
# KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than
# one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.
#
KeepAlive On
#
# MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow

Well, that's wrong too (not to steal all your fuzz =) exporting variables makes them available in child processes, not parent processes. So if your shell runs a subshell that exports variables and then exits, the net effect will be zero.

What are the file access rights. It should have set the user to "paul" and
the group to "mail" (user is set in the director that directs it to
local_delivery) but if its not then it might not be readable

I've only used jpilot and pilot-xfer, never tried evolution or anything else .. what does the kernel log say?(dmesg). I have not exeperienced the symtoms you describe since the visor support first came out more then 2 years ago, the solution at the time was to use a program called coldsync, which did something that was more compadible, I think whatever coldsync did was incorporated into pilot-xfer in a more recent release as I haven't seen the problem in ages. I have 2 visors, 1 deluxe and 1 prism, and both work ok, the only problems I have is sometimes the visor is not detected when I hit the hotsync button(usually on the deluxe, the cradle is old), but once I can establish a transfer the transfer always completes successfully. another thing to check is, is the USB adapter conflicting with any other devices? on my laptop under 2.2.x I could not seem to use my USB camera and I think I couldn't use my USB visor while I had my sound modules loaded, I suppose because of conflicting irqs, since both devices were on the same IRQ. I upgraded to 2.4.20 about a week ago for testing and haven't seen that problem yet. perhaps the log will provide more info. I don't sync my visors to my computer at all, only time I connect them is to do a full backup(which is rare since i have backup springboard modules), or to install a new program. good luck nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I followed the advice on the Ximian support pages, created a group named 'sync', added my username, chown'ed the devices, set chmod to 770 and tried again. Hotsync doesn't happen at all (works in my Redhat with gnome-pilot) and pilot-xfer starts sync'ing, transfers a variable number of files, then fails on the Visor. I've done it several times, and it fails on different files, so it isn't db file specific. Any thoughts? Thanks, Bret -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I think those are set at delivery time. if you were able to set them in
the config file, it would seem to me that all your mail would get dumped
in one box.

Take a look at the output of lspci. At the beginning of the output for each device there is a set of numbers like 00:0b.0.

There are reports of the Cruzer working with SuSE 8.0, so apparently it can be done. Some ImageMate models work with Linux, and some don't, because some of them are USB Mass Storage devices, and some aren't. I think there is a custom driver in the Linux kernel for one of the non-USB-storage ImageMates, but I don't recall offhand which one. Craig msg20318/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
free alternative to xwin32 anyone?
hi all, so i'm back home for the holidays, and unfortunately sitting at a windows 98 machine. now lately i've really gotten used to x-forwarding certain applications off of a central server (like my licq/aim programs for example), and would like to do so here as well. in the past i've used xwin32, which does exactly what i want, but for me to continue using it would raise not only moral but also legal implications... i've looked at cygwin, and i haven't been able to get it to work in the same way--it wants to open its own x-session in a separate window, and then x applications show up in there, whereas i want them to show up on the desktop like any other app. does anyone have any experience, ideas, or recommendations about this? thanks, sean msg20317/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Some of SanDisk's USB card readers are USB-storage compatible, and some aren't -- and of those that aren't, one or two have custom drivers available in the Linux kernel, but most don't. This means that some SanDisk USB card readers work with Linux (with a recent 2.4 kernel, suitably configured), and some don't. I have had good luck with two models: the SDDR-33 CompactFlash reader, and the SDDR-75 dual-slot CompactFlash/SmartMedia reader. I would expect that the similar SDDR-73 (CompactFlash/Multimedia SD) and SDDR-77 (CompactFlash/MemoryStick) would also work. Craig msg20316/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

${local_part} is taken from the recipiant's email address. if someone

the @ and sets two variables:
local_part: paul

What process does that substitution?
so if you were doing multiple domains on one box, you could do:

or some such.
That part was clear. I was just expecting local_part to be something
that I set somewhere else in exim.conf.

Another way, is to move the "other" hardware to another slot. many motherboards have slots that have shared IRQs with other slots and/or onboard devices and it is impossible to change them. usually the first and last PCI slots are configured this way, so use them last. check your MB manual for details. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

console framebuffer in Woody r1
I've just installed Woody r1. (At least I was connected to an apt-source on the net while installing and it downloaded a lot, so I assume it's r1). I've been using Redhat 7.3 and SuSE 7.3 before that, and I've been using framebuffer support for my console sessions (Alt-F1, etc). I get my 1024x768 display (128x48 text) just fine. During install of Debian, there was a question about using framebuffer for consoles, and I believe the answer was 'yes' (whatever it was, I thought it made sense at the time). Now, I boot to a GUI, but my consoles are unreadable. They're simply blank as installed. If I add "vga=791" to lilo.conf, I get full-screen scrambled versions of some of my GUI screen. I don't even know where to start. Is this an X86 problem, a Debian specific issue, what was installed to do with "framebuffers" by Debian I might need to look at, unscrew, uninstall, re-install? Any pointers would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Bret -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Handspring Visor hotsync problem
I just installed Woody r1 (presumably, as I connected to sources on the net while installing, and it downloaded a lot of stuff). I included pilot-link, gnome-pilot, evolution, and the things they each said they depended on. The kernel is 2.2.20. I have been running Redhat 7.3, and have been reliably synch'ing my Handspring Visor Prism for months. I know this works - I've been doing it. It's not happening with Debian so far though. I've appended some information at the end of this message. The visor modules reports as loaded, but the error message seems to say it's not. I'm not at all sure how to proceed from here. I've read the Visor mini-HowTo - that's how I got it working in Redhat. Nothing in that document seems relevant here - I followed all the steps again, and that doesn't seem to be it. This appears to be the relevant issue: Dec 20 10:50:37 ganesha /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: missing kernel or user mode driver visor lsmod says the visor modules is loaded. Directly attempting the hotsync with pilot-link, a la the HowTo, gets a message about pi_bind: Unable to bind to port /dev/ttyUSB1 pi_bind: Permission denied Any thoughts, please?

what does: ls /var/mail/paul tell you? is it a file, or a directory?
BTW /var/spool/mail is just a symlink to /var/mail, hence my use of it
above.

${local_part} is taken from the recipiant's email address. if someone
sent you an email (to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) the exim splits up the address on
the @ and sets two variables:
local_part: paul
domain: foo.com
so if you were doing multiple domains on one box, you could do:
file = /var/spool/mail/${domain}/${local_part}
or some such.

For some reason I read Tom's problem differently. Does somebody
have a rule to remove the attachment and retain the text of an
email? Or how do you disentangle the text from an email that has
both text and html parts (as if there are mail readers that can't
handle pure text mail)?

debs,
firstly, thanks to all that replied.
i got good info. ("world writeable,
vi.recover"..."glad to meet-'cha'.")
secondly, i still don't know how i
screwed up the perms.
and thirdly, during my morning 75-mile
commute to denver, the thought popped
into my head that i could remove the
~/vi.recover files, try to move the
contents of .muttrc to a new filename,
delete .muttrc, and then copy the con-
tents of that new file back into a
_new_ .muttrc.
in other words:
1) rm /var/tmp/vi.recover/*
2) cat .muttrc > new_muttrc_for_testing_1a
3) rm .muttrc
4) cat new_muttrc_for_testing_1a > .muttrc

oh, yeah
kthxbye.

But if I add sequences that already have a meaning (like "\C-s")
it's still the old value that's in effect. Besides, how do I

Mutt doesn't lock the config file while running - I've often made changes to it while running mutt elsewhere.

I'm still working on my master's degree, so I can assure that no Ph.D. is necessary. :) All of the stuff I have is from binary packages, so no compiling should be necessary. I know this is the "cool" way to do this, but I'm in grad school and I don't have time to recompile kernels every few months. You'll need a kernel to mach your system arch (of course) and the corresponding package of alsa-modules. At this point, you really shouldn't need to do much more. I've got a little bugginess in my system where I have to manually set the volumes after every reboot, but you can do this with whatever favorite mixer tool you use. My output from lspci (for the device in question) is different only in IRQ and I/O address (mine are 10 and 0xe800, but I don't think that makes any difference). Then, of course, there are the standard caveats about creating the 'audio' group, making sure that you're a member, log out and back in, etc. So what do you get when you try and play a sound file?

potato -> woody: E: Internal Error, Couldn't configure a pre-depend
When attempting an upgrade from Potato to Woody via either apt-get or dselect, I get the following error: E: Internal Error, Couldn't configure a pre-depend This appears after placing disk 1 of the update set into the CDROM tray, and the disk is read for several seconds. I've researched this on Google and tracked down several related bugs, but no solution: #58827 #154670 #138217 Part of the problem is that the package(s) whose pre-depends is/are failing aren't noted. Google suggests that it's a libc issue, but I can't confirm this. Running a 'strace' on apt-get doesn't provide any clues to me, it ends with the following output: <...> munmap(0x40491000, 266240) = 0 munmap(0x40205000, 2669540) = 0 close(-1) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) write(2, "E: ", 3E: ) = 3 write(2, "Internal Error, Couldn\'t configu"..., 47Internal Error, Couldn't conf igure a pre-depend) = 47 write(2, "\n", 1 ) = 1 close(3)= 0 munmap(0x40015000, 4096)= 0 munmap(0x40014000, 4096)= 0 _exit(100) I applied the "" option suggested in the Potato x86 release notes with no effect. http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html # apt-get --fix-broken --show-upgraded -o APT::Force-LoopBreak=1 dist-upgrade I also updated via apt-get http sources to the most recent potato packages, hoping that this might resolve the problem.

According to man fetchmail, it delivers it by SMTP to port 25, whence it is picked up by exim or whatever other MTA you have and delivered to wherever it has to go. I set up fetchmail by using fetchmailconf, and as with eximconfig it just worked and I can't remember any awkwardnesses. That's the problem with these easy config tools - when it all works you don't learn anything. Pigeon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Brian Nelson wrote: Tom Allison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: This will probably get me ejected from the planet or accused of not understanding how Debian works, but here goes. There has been a long standing "bitch" by some that Debian is so vary slow to update their base system. Personally I stand entirely behind the philosophies of making stable really stable and releasing updates when they are ready. I would not want anything to interfere with this as I believe it to be one of the greatest assets of Debian. But... I recently got burned a few times when I would skip an update to testing. There are some dependency problems I ran into where I had to jump to unstable in order to get all the right versions of the right software. And some of them were less stable than others. [snip rest of explanation] However, you proposed any solution to the above problem; namely, that packages in unstable tend to depend explicitly on versions of other packages that are only in unstable. This makes it quite difficult to mix packages between unstable, testing, and stable. Yes, you can recompile packages, but compiling software against older libraries will likely uncover a lot of bugs that have already been fixed in newer versions of the libraries and no one will want to deal with. Inevitably, I think an implementation of the system you're proposing would be less stable than any of Debian's current distributions. Or, if you intend to ensure that a package and all of its dependencies are "stable enough" before you will use it, then you're just reinventing the testing distribution. My experience of late has been contrary to what you say. I have testing packages that required unstable installations or unstable installations that were dependent upon testing packages and were incapable of being compatable with their counterpart unstable packages. They have definitely been mixed. If I run into it again, I'll post it in detail. The only suggestion regarding "stable enough", as you put it (and reasonably so) is to cap the age that you consider seeing a package in testing if you are using a apt_preferences configuration which supports both stable and testing. This would provide some increase of exposure to the testing packages prior to their roll-over into stable. -- An atom-blaster is a good weapon, but it can point both ways. -- Isaac Asimov -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
