GRUB question

[Linux]

Greetings all.  I've been with Linux for a few years, but trying Debian for the first 
time.  I'm having a bit of a problem getting GRUB set up, and I know it's my fault.

Could someone using Debian 3 please post the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst for me to 
take a look at? 

Thank you very much.

Sorry friends,
After I subscribed to the linux-gate mailing list,
I posted my first 'testing' newspost after waiting for
about 1/2 hour. That did not appear on this linux.debian.user
newsgroup. So, I tried again. Then again... Sorry. I kinda
became desparate.

By the way, I am not using the mailing list for posting.
I am using this as a newsgroup (linux.debian.user). So,
I felt that my news post should appear instantly.

Please also ignore my other posts here about 'testing'.
All of them seems to have appeared today, after I downloaded
the news headers. Sorry again.

Regards,
Santanu

next thing would be stop portmapper

/etc/init.d/portmap stop

and run netstat to be sure nothing is using port 111

netstat -an | grep 111

also be sure portmapper is really stopped by checking the process
list. if something is using port 111 use fuser to determine what
it is:

fuser -n tcp 111
fuser -n udp 111

if both of the above tests return nothing my next idea would be to
run strace on portmapper as it starts and log the output:

strace /sbin/portmap >&/tmp/output.log

it may give some clues..though strace is REAALY verbose,
finding the problem is usually not too easy for me at least,
I'm not a developer, but sometimes it can be found... try posting
the log file on a web/ftp site if you can't decipher it.

and after that I'm not sure what to suggest, are you running
woody? if not I suppose it could be a bug..

Re: Borland Kylix on Linux - Both Pascal and a C compiler

[S Yuval]

Actually, Kylix comes with both a Pascal compiler and a C++ compiler. It's
shipped in the same bundle, but the uses different startup scripts (startbcb
for a "C++ Builder" like environment and "startdelphi" for a Pascal like
environment).

Do you know the display title of this option in xconfig (meta-question:
is there a doc that maps the xconfig sections & display titles to the
config file options? I'm having trouble finding docs on xconfig, doesn't
seem to be covered in the 'make' documentation).

This isn't set in my 2.4.20 kernel-pkg kernel, I'll certainly add it.

Well, the cost of a new motherboard with built-in support for 133 ide
bus speed is just than $20 more than the cost of an enhanced IDE
controller, but still it's great to learn about a new kernel flag.

(admittedly I lucked out to find a motherboard that will take my current

Re: Borland Kylix on Linux

You do realize that kylix is a pascal and not a c compiler...?
stdio.h is a c header file... not going to work.
in kylix you would have something closer to

program hello(input,output);
begin
  writeln('hello');
end.

however because it is actually much more than just a pascal compiler, it
gets much more complicated.

mkisofs oddity

[Jason Pepas]

hello,

perhaps I am using it incorrectly, but it seems mkisofs behaves oddly with 
respect to directories.

lets say I have a filesystem:

/foo
/bar
f1
f2
/bork

that is, our filesystem is composed of

/foo/bar/f1
/foo/bar/f2
/foo/bork/

Now, if I simply want to make an iso of the bar directory, such that my cd 
would contain

/bar/f1
/bar/f2

the obvious thing to do would be

mkisofs bar

however, this instead creates the following filesystem:

/f1
/f2

but if I wanted that, the obvious thing to do would be this:

mkisofs bar/*

is this considered correct behavior?

is there no way to simply make an image of a directory without resorting to 
graft-points?

thanks,
jason pepas

nfs-related rpc stuff runs standalone (/etc/init.d/nfs-common)

for now ipchains -F

and restart portmapper and nfs-common

/etc/init.d/portmap restart
/etc/init.d/nfs-common restart

run rpcinfo -p

should work now..

try starting the nfs server

then run your ipchains scripts again, you'll probably have to tune them,

Borland Kylix on Linux

[S Yuval]

I'm trying to use Borland Kylix for Linux to write 
a simple "Hello World!" program.  I have installed it in single user mode, 
in my home directory, skipping the RPM installation and using the binary tarball 
archive directly.  The development environment runs, but when I include 
stdio.h, I get an indefinite list of complaints about syntax errors concerning 
preprocessor directives in the file.  Does this mean that Kylix is 
incompatible with the GNU libraries? can anyone suggest a 
remedy?

Re: Need help for file sharing -- linux --> linux boxen

[C-Cose Masters]

Greetings nate,

I followed your advice with results as follows:

## started portmap daemon

grommit:/etc/init.d
00:18:01==>SUPER: /etc/init.d/portmap start
Starting portmap daemon: portmap.
grommit:/etc/init.d
00:18:08==>SUPER: rpcinfo -p
rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: rpcinfo: RPC: Unable to receive;
errno = Broken pipe

Similar error to that received when installing nfs-server ...

## starting nfs-common

grommit:/etc/init.d
00:18:34==>SUPER: /etc/init.d/nfs-common start
Starting NFS common utilities: statd lockd.
grommit:/etc/init.d
00:18:48==>SUPER: rpcinfo -p
rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: rpcinfo: RPC: Unable to receive;
errno = Broken pipe

Same error as above ... hmmm 

Is there any way that either portsentry or ipchains is interfering with
communication?

I've attempted to install with portsentry stopped, but haven't yet tried
to alter my ~limited~ chains scripts.

Also, while problem solving I've:

1   checked inetd.conf for RPC services and restarted it with them
commented out.
Result: no change

2   Re-started inetd with RPC services enabled (that is the hash marks
removed)
Result: no change

I've also removed xinetd as it didn't convert all active services listed
in inetd when it was installed (as it ~appears~ to in the conf
messages).


Thanks for the suggestions.

Trying to install Gnome 2.2

[Jeff Tickle]

Howdy...

Now that I have X up and running and things are good, I tried upgrading 
gnome to version 2.2.  Unfortunately, dselect is having some problems 
resolving some dependencies, and refuses to move past this one screen:

Opt libs libxft2 (libxft2 depends on xlibs >= 4.2.0)
Req libs libperl5.6  (gaim depends on libperl5.6 >= 5.6.1-8.2)
Opt libs xlibs (libxft2 depends on xlibs >= 4.2.0 and gnome-core depends 
on xlibs >=4.2.0)
Opt web mozilla-psm (evolution recommends mozilla-psm >= 1.3)
Opt mail evolution (evolution recommends mozilla-psm >= 1.3)
Opt net gaim (gaim depends on libperl5.6 >= 5.6.1-8.2(
Opt x11 gnome-core (gnome-core depends on xlibs >= 4.2.0)

Everything here seems to be satisfied, so why can't I move on?  just 
pressing enter results in the "Dependency/conflict resolution" help 
screen, and shows the same dependency issues.

When I tried setting some of these to 'not install', it broke down 
worse.  If anyone can provide help or if I can send more useful 
infromation, please let me know.

make sure portmap and nfs-common are running:

rpcinfo -p

on a system running those should return something similar to:

   program vers proto   port
102   tcp111  portmapper
102   udp111  portmapper

Re: Need help for file sharing -- linux --> linux boxen

[C-Cose Masters]

Greetings,

the "t" in my apt commands is so from attempting to get the testing
version of these packages. I've attempted to install nfs* pkgs from both
stable and testing with the same post-install errors.

There appears to be a problem connecting to RPC services.

I've done the following ~before~ posting to the list:

1.  Attempted to install stable version of nfs-user-server.
Result: error as before

2.  Purged above package and attempted install of nfs-kernel-server.
Result: same error

3.  Purged all nfs-common, nfs-*-server, and portmap, then attempted
fresh install.
Result: same error

4.  Step 3 repeated but attempting testing versions.
Result: same error

A bit of a patter developing.

I've also disabled portsentry while installing -- thinking that it was
interfering in the process.

At this point all I can think of is that my ~limited~ ipchains rules are
somehow interfering (although they shouldn't as I have unrestricted
traffic on the lo interface).

Still looking for advice, pointers, fm's, etc.

Thanks anyway,

C-Cose

I think the solution to your problem would be to download and install Animail:

http://animail.sourceforge.net/

I installed Animail a few months ago, and I'm very enthusiastic about it. Among it's 
notable features, it's got the ability to delete (without downloading) email messages 
and attachments over a certain size that you specify. Since the digests are likely to 
be pretty large, you can send all big messages to trash without losing smallers 
messages that you might want to read.

Hope this helps,
Robert

xfstt superfluous?

[David Wright]

In an attempt to fix ugly fonts in gtk1.2 apps, I just added 
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType to the xfs configuration file 
/etc/X11/fs/config, and it worked! Does this mean that xfs can serve 
both PS and TT, making xfstt completely unnecessary?

Need help for file sharing -- linux --> linux boxen

[C-Cose Masters]

Greetings,

I'm having difficulties installing nfs- (user-server | kernel-server)
through apt. Basically they exit with pre- and post-config errors as
follows:

for nfs-user-server

==>SUPER: apt-get -u install -t testing nfs-user-server
Reading Package Lists... Done

The following NEW packages will be installed:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

for nfs-kernel-server, the same error about RPC "Connection refused" is
returned after it hangs during post-install and has to be interrupted
with +c.

When I was running potato, I had "nfs-server" installed without any
difficulties at all but removed it as, at the time, it was an
unnecessary extra service.

Now, I've finally got a small home LAN set up with a mixture of Mac, MS
and Linux boxes. I'd like to have a way to transfer files between the
Linux boxes (currently ~this~ desktop, with two users, and a laptop,
with only myself).

Am I over-thinking the means to xfer files to and fro? Seeing as I'll be
on a secure wired LAN and no more than two rooms separating the desktop
and laptop, I'd like to do this without having to resort to ssh, ftp, or
emailing files to and fro.

I'm also having quandaries with other servers (specifically pop3 service
offering to the MS and Mac machines) but will address them in another
post.

Many thanks for any help offered,

C-Cose Masters

This is unix, Caps are AnNoYiNg.  YMMV.  If you inferred that I

I'm the author of that snippet of code.  I can't tell from what
you've quoted, but it looks like you might have an earlier
version that omits the "/usr/bin/apt-get update -qq" which runs
prior to the apt-show-versions line.

Perhaps that's the trouble you're having (in which case I
apologize).  If apt-get upgrade is not run prior to
apt-show-versions you may not get an accurate report of what new
packages are available.

Or perhaps your problem is related to a similar problem I'm
having where I've used pinning, to make apt-get aware of all
three versions (stable/testing/unstable).  When I apt-get upgrade
or apt-get dist-upgrade, it doesn't automatically upgrade those
packages I've obtained from testing or unstable.  

I recall reading that you could only track two versions at once;
perhaps I should be using some other method of getting testing
packages into my stable systems.  Currently, when I find that a
testing package has been upgraded, I simply apt-get install -t
testing $PACKAGENAME and it gets the upgrade.

That's all I've got for now as far as insight -- hope it's of
some use.

And, thanks for using my script, such as it is!  :-)  One of
these days I intend to figure out how to create an apt repository
of my own so that scripts and custom kernel compiles can go
there, and I can point people at it if they're interested -- and
so that they will obtain the bug-fixes too.

I know exactly what you mean. If you don't mind spending a bit more, you
can buy a small, silent, low power computer such as the openbrick
(http://openbrick.org), which can run Debian and function as an access
point. You'll need to get one of the right wireless cards which linux
can use in access point mode uwing either the hostap or wlan-ng drivers,
and do some tweaking.

- Route -
I have used a Linksys, a Netgear RT314 and currently use an FR114P.  The 
Linksys lasted under a year before the power supply toasted.  I needed a 
replacement that day and saw that Compusa had the Netgear RT314 on sale for  
$50 off.  

I recently retired the RT314 and replaced it with the FR114P since the latter 
has finer control over what "rules" you can apply.  I have been *very* happy 
with Netgear.  

I will buy another FR114P soon and run the two of them in series.  This will 
allow me to form a physical DMZ for my web server by putting in the server in 
middle of the two routers.  If you want a "real" DMZ in a single box requires 
a much more expensive device than most of us are willing to pay.  I give 
Netgear credit for pointing out that what most inexpensive router's claim as 
a "DMZ" is nothing more than the exposure of all IP ports from the WAN side 
to a particular IP on the LAN side.  But the exposed computer can still see 
everything else on the LAN side so if it does get compromised what has been 
gained?

You don't have to lose any "control" by using a hardware router since  you can 
always expose specific IP ports on the WAN side to specific IP/ports on the 
LAN side.  If you do that you will certainly want ot make sure that the Linux 
box you are exposing has everything in proper order.  For example, for last 
month alone there were a little over 20,000 break in attempts.

I bought an AOpen F50L (15 inch) as it was the first model that I found 
locally for $300.  About the only consession that I had to make was to 
manually put in the Vertical and Horizontal frequencies.  And even that may 
have been more of an artifact of have a Linksys KVM between my Debian box and 
the LCD screen.

Resolving hostnames using DHCP

[Clive Menzies]

Hi

I've just installed Debian on an HP Netserver LH Pro which was a 
challenge in itself ;).  I am still very much a newbie and not very 
technical.   I've managed to get Linux running on an old Mac and a G4 
plus we've also got 3 Windows 98 PC's on the network.  So far, I've 
installed Samba and dhcpd on the Netserver and managed to get all 
machines accessing the internet via the broadband router using the dhcp 
server.

However, is there a way in which the server can resolve hostnames to 
local IP addresses automatically or do I really have to list them 
manually in /etc/hosts?  It would seem to defeat the object of having a 
dhcp server.  I can ping all the hosts by IP address but only the 
Windows machines can ping using the hostname which I guess means that 
windows is resolving the names in some way.  What's the Linux 
equivalent?

TIA

Clive

You can also install this package and run it locally.

I use the Netgear MR314.  This seems pretty good to me. But I'm not an
expert. It has a web-based setup that allows you to specify things much as
you want them. But then I only have very simple requirements.  The
manual/user guide can be downloaded in pdf format from their website, so
you can have a good look at what it does for yourself.

I have a 17" Belinea 10 17 20 which I'm very happy with.  It's just like a
CRT in the respect that you mention.  I can't answer your question about
colour compensation.

I'm not sure what you mean about giving up control of networking and
encryption.

I have the Netgear FM114P, and I like it. (I suspect it runs Linux, which
makes me like it a bit more.) It has a stateful firewall, NAT, dhcp server,
print server and upgradeable firmware.

I can choose between no WEP, 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP. I can choose to
allow any wireless unit to connect, or to specify MACs allowed to connect. I
can choose to bridge the wireless and wired networks or keep them separate.

That's just a small selection of the choices I have. I don't feel I'm giving
up control by running this box. It Just Works.

while we're on the topic, what's the recommended way for getting an
external sound card to override the one that's on the mobo?  I have an
Ensoniq ES1371 that I've been using all along, but since the purchase
of a new mobo with onboard sound, i haven't been able to configure it
correctly.  I've compiled drivers for it into my kernel; i disabled
the mobo sound in the BIOS ... but i still get the error(s)

libao - OSS cannot set rate to 44100
Error: Cannot open device oss.

or

Can't find a suitable libao driver. (Is device in use?)

when i try to play anything (depending on if i try to play oggs or
mp3s).

any pointers?

thanks a lot!

You did run "make-kpkg clean" right before you attempted the above,

The error message explains _exactly_ what the (potential) problem is.
If you didn't change what was modular between last run and this run,
you don't have to move the modules dir.  If you did make changes, you
must move the dir, and booting with the old kernel may result in
problems.

2 Hardware Questions (LCD/Wireless Router)

[Matt Price]

Hi,


In the process of setting up a home network which will have the
following machines on it:
- 1 IBM ThinkPad X31 connected alternately by ethernet and wireless
 (802.11b).  Will unfortunately be running XP, unless I replace that
 by Win 2000 Professional (not for my use, or it'd be Debian all the way)
- 1 G3 Mac, currently running MacOS 9, hopefully soon to move to
 Debian PPC, connected by ethernet cable
- 1 Old HP Omnibook. hopefully running a slimmed-down version of
 Debian, connectd hopefully by 802.11 b as well
- (Maybe) a relatively new PC running Debian Woody, connected by
 Ethernet

I need to buy a wireless router and a monitor, and have questions
about both.

First the router.  Looking around, I gather all these routers run
their own networking and encryption software.  Having recently
converted to Debian GNU/Linux, I'm bummed at having to give up control
of these features to some hardware I have no real access to, and I
feel just a little suspicious of these closed-platform boxes.  On the
other hand, they do seem to be pretty practical devices.  So my
question:  can anyone share opinions about particular models, or
general criteria to apply in deciding between competing models?

Then the monitor.  We've settled on buying an LCD monitor, and I wanted
to check about compatibility before I bought one.  I've noticed some
companies talk about "mac compatible" or "linux compatible" products.
Any idea what this means?  My impression with ordinary CRT monitors
is, that as long as the cable on the monitor (DVI; VGA, ADC,
whatever) matches the port on your video card, you're OK.  Is this not
true of LCD's?  Do some of the LCD's require proprietary color
adjustment software, for instance; and if so, are there ways to
compensate under Linux?  


Thanks as always for the help!  Look forward to hearing back,
Matt

My OpenOffice.org packages are a recompiled version of the 1.0.2-1 
packages taken from Debian unstable (I'm recompiling them myself since I 
want to know how the packages I'm providing are built to be able to add 
local bugfixes).

I can't make any garuantees.

My goal is to provide a set of high quality packages [1] with working 
upgrades both from Debian 3.0 to Debian 3.0 plus my packages and from
Debian 3.0 plus my packages ti Debian 3.1. I don't support combinations 
with any other sources of backport packages (there are _many_ sources 
for backported packages of various quality).

> 3.  Are you planning on following the release schedule of the
> semi-official version?

My plan with the whole collection of my backport packages [1] is to get
them into a bugfix-only state in the near future. It's possible
(depending on the estimated release date of Debian 3.1) that I'll start
another set of packages but the bunk-1 packages will then stay in a
bugfix-only state (e.g. they will never include OpenOffice.org 1.1).

nvidia geforce 2mx won't load correctly

[Joris Huizer]

Hello everybody,

I have some experience with my Nvidia Geforce 2MX
allready - but I can't figure this out.

I have compiled a 3123 nvidia driver - after failing
to find the 4191 sources I used before with succes
(unfortunately I didn't backup those)
Initially it looked like things were fine - but the
nvidia driver won't load succesfully - it launches,
and it's broken off immediately ! this is repeated
some times.
I get the output 'NVRM: AGPGART: freed 16 pages' each
time it's broken off (4 times now)

Can anybody tell me what's wrong ? I may have
forgotten something but I don't have a clue what that
would be...

Thanks for any help,

Joris

issue with make-kpkg kernel_image

[Andy]

I am using this for reference and can successfully do a custom kernel:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-kernel.en.html

I must be doing something wrong because when I try to do it again with 
using "Custom.2" I get this error:

---
server:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18# make-kpkg -rev Custom.2 kernel_image
I note that you are using the --revision flag with the value Custom.2.
However, the ./debian/changelog file exists, and has a different value
Custom.1.  I am confused by this discrepancy, and am halting.


So I have to call it Custom.1 every time.
Why can't I use different revision numbers?

Furthermorewhen I install the package I get this error:

---
server:/usr/src# dpkg --install kernel-image-2.4.18_Custom.1_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 15783 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace kernel-image-2.4.18 Custom.1 (using 
kernel-image-2.4.18_Custom.1_i386.deb) ...
You are attempting to install a kernel image (version 2.4.18)
However, the directory /lib/modules/2.4.18 still exists.  If this
directory belongs to a previous kernel-image-2.4.18 package, and if
you have deselected some modules, or installed standalone modules
packages, this could be bad. However, if this directory exists because
you are also installing some stand alone modules right now, and they
got unpacked before I did, then this is pretty benign.  Unfortunately,
I can't tell the difference.

If /lib/modules/2.4.18 belongs to a old install of
kenel-image-2.4.18, this is your last chance to abort the
installation of this kernel image (nothing has been changed yet).

If this directory is because of stand alone modules being installed
right now, or if it does belong to an older kernel-image-2.4.18
package but you know what you are doing, and if you feel that this
image should be installed despite this anomaly, Please answer n to the
question.

Otherwise, I suggest you move /lib/modules/2.4.18 out of the way,
perhaps to /lib/modules/2.4.18.old or something, and then try
re-installing this image.
Do you want to stop now? [Y/n]
--

So I stop and then move /lib/modules/2.4.18 to /lib/modules/2.4.18.old
and all is well and I can continue.

But I don't think I am doing this the right way.  Am I not?

Hi Alan,

Glad to hear that it all worked out. BTW, a good ("best?") way to
achieve this effect (if your kernel is heavily modularized, like the
standard Debian 2.4.x kernels) is by adding a file (pick a name, any
name) in /etc/modutils/ with the following contents

options ide-cd ignore=hdd
pre-install sgmodprobe ide-scsi
pre-install sr_modmodprobe ide-scsi
pre-install ide-scsi  modprobe ide-cd

Run update-modules after you do this to plonk this into
/etc/modules.conf. The next time you boot, things should work fine
automagically. You don't even need to add ide-scsi to /etc/modules if
you add a line like

alias scd0 sr_mod

to the same file (where you replace scd0 with your DVD device). You
might have to tweak this a bit since you have a real SCSI card, but
you get the idea

Try installing Mplayer. Either grab sources and compile, or go to
apt-get.org to find a Debian source for it. It plays almost every

You're right.  I stupidly thought that if a config file was involved, it
would come with the main package.  All is well now.  I'm sure a lot of
bandwidth, and angst, could be saved if the error messages made things a
little clearer.

Sorry, I know that. I'm thinking of actually not downloading them over
dialup from the POP3 server. I know more or less nothing about the
inner workings of email transmission and delivery, but the consensus
on this list as to what to do with spam seems to be to deliver it to 
/dev/null as anything else either returns errors to the spammer which
they can use for evil purposes, or accidentally spams with error
messages some innocent whose address has been forged in the From header.

Checking through man fetchmail it seems that this may not necessarily
be the case as if the MTA can be configured to return error 553 on
unwanted mail no error will be returned to the sender, and the same
for various other "spamblock" error codes if the spambounce option is
off. However, unless you're using IMAP, which my ISP doesn't, it's 
always going to download the entire message body before dumping it. 
Avoiding the unnecessary downloading is of more concern to me than 
the duplicate messages in my mailbox.

I'm being thick, aren't I. I can just unsubscribe from the digest
temporarily, check www.faqchest.org to see when it gets going again
and then resubscribe. Or would I still get the digests from March 31st
up until today? Probably. Oh well.

(Funny how wanted mail becomes spam in the wrong context. Like the sound
of an EE 16CSVT on full bore...)

1. copy /boot/config-2.4.18-bf2.4 to /usr/src/linux/.config.
2. do "make oldconfig dep".
3. Edit /usr/src/Makefile. Change the EXTRAVERSION line to read:
 "EXTRAVERSION=-bf2.4".
4. in /usr/src/modules/NVIDIA_kernel do "make".
5. in /usr/src/modules/NVIDIA_GLX do "make".
6. edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 per the nvidia instructions.

That should get you up and running for now.

For future use, check out the Building Custom Kernels newbiedoc:

http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html

Install Debian's nvidia-kernel-src and nvidia-glx-src packages, and read
their instructions. You can use the kernel-src package together with
make-kpkg to make a matching nvidia driver .deb whenever you rebuild the
kernel.

CD label maker - what's your preference?

[Neal Lippman]

I am looking for a utility for making cd labels (round ones to stick
onto the CD itself) and jewel case covers, and need to do this both for
audio cds (I like to copy my CD's so I can have a copy at home and a
copy in the car) and for data cd's.

A scan through apt-cache shows (at least) the following offerings:
cdlabelgen
cd-circleprint
disc-cover
kover

Another choice, kcdlabel, which I used a while back when I ran Mandrake,
doesn't seem to be available, at least in the official debian packages.

Any comments on relative merits / drawbacks for these packages greatly
appreciated.

Thanks.

RE: Kernel compilation and modules and stuff

Jeff, 

If you simply download and install kernel headers 2.4.18-bf2.4 and recompile
following the instructions in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel and glx, you
should find it works.

sorry, I'm doing this with telnet to port 25.. I meant kernel-source-2.4.18.
Anyways, if I download my kernel source, and compile the nvidia drivers with
that, it doesn't work with my current kernel, because that has an
append-to-version on it.  So, if I compile the kernel source and make my own
kernel, I lose all the modules that came with -bf2.4, which is very bad.

apt-cache search rtsp comes back with:

Look into hotkeyd and acme.  Acme is the better of the two, but it is a

Thanks a lot - I am sure this is what it was - although there was no error

cat /proc/scsi/scsi must show your scsi emulated dvd player. So try
modprobe ide-scsi (check with lsmod | grep ide-s) and do a link from
ln -s /dev/scd2 /dev/dvd. I suppose scd0 is your burner and scd1 is
your card-reader. To load ide-scsi on every boot put a single line 
ide-scsi
in you /etc/modules.

Kernel compilation and modules and stuff

[Jeff Tickle]

Hello...

I have just finally gotten around to trying Debian out.  Installation has been fun...  
it's not until one tries out Debian that they understand how bad user-friendliness 
elsewhere has been.  But it's all finally installed, and I am trying to get it to work 
with my video card.

I have an NVidia GeForce 4 Ti4400.  Here's my problem.  If I download ker

sorry, I'm doing this with telnet to port 25.. I meant kernel-source-2.4.18.  Anyways, 
if I download my kernel source, and compile the nvidia drivers with that, it doesn't 
work with my current kernel, because that has an append-to-version on it.  So, if I 
compile the kernel source and make my own kernel, I lose all the modules that came 
with -bf2.4, which is very bad.

So basically, if anyone here has had any better luck using a GeForce 4 with Debian, 
please let me know how you did it!  Otherwise, if anyone knows how I ca the source to 
all of the modules that came with -bf2.4, I'd appreciate that as well.

Thanks so much in advance!

Well, if you want to get back into tasksel, it seems to me that the
obvious choice is to run tasksel again.
On the other hand, if you want to pick some more packages to install
(having exited tasksel before you had installed everything you wanted)
You can just apt-get those packages and then dpkg --configure them as
needed.
Or, you can use dselect or aptitude to give you a front-end for the
package-by-package installation process.
These will give you a more "fine-grained" control than tasksel will, by
allowing you to choose individual packages instead of sweeping
categories.
Or, if you have packages that are installed but not configured, you
could try debconf.

It really depends on just what it is you want to do.

> Can anybody tell me the location of the prog? 

I'm pretty sure that all the ones mentioned are in /usr/bin, which
should be in your path by default.
You will, naturally, need to be logged in as root to do any of this.

.org because it is part of the actual name - originally it was to be
called just OpenOffice, but after using that name for a bit, it was
found that it was already in use for something else. Well, the domain
name was there, and suffiently different in trademark terms, and it
carries with it the not-for-profit nature of free software - that ended
up being accepted.

I agree that it's (mostly) an empty threat (due to the lack of someone
to pay a lawyer to pursue it), but didn't somebody very
recently get busted in some United State or another...

Judge decided ignorance is no excuse: by using somebody's service
(be it ISP, mailing listserver...) you *have agreed* to their terms of
service.  If you signed that agreement without reading it first, tough
apples. Pay up.

I think I actually read that on this list, though I can't be bothered
to go fishing through the archives right now...

Hmm, now here's a thought:  What about a collections agency?  Don't they
just pay the party who's owed the money some percentage up-front, and
then take their chances on actually collecting? I wonder whether it
would be possible to sell a case like this to a collections agency...

Well, a quick web search turns up the claim that your camera is a USB
mass storage device, so at most, the kernel might need a simple device
descriptor added to it. This is a source code change, so you'd have to
rebuild your kernel.

Personally, I _prefer_ having a separate CF card reader. The USB ports
on digital Cameras are often non-standard (so you have to use their
custom cable, which can be a pain to replace if you lose or damage it)
and look rather fragile (so I wouldn't want to be constantly plugging
and unplugging it). Also, with a CF reader, you don't need to turn the
camera on to pull pictures out of it.

SanDisk makes a nice CF/SM combo reader that works nicely with Linux
(model SDDR-75).

Alan,

I'm not a SCSI expert (have not owned a real SCSI bus in the last 5
years) but here is a suggestion: perhaps you are loading things in the
wrong order? 

If you look in dmesg do you see any text indicating that the ide-scsi
driver has actually picked up /dev/hdd? It is not uncommon for the
ide-cd driver to grab the CD ROM driver, which you must prevent by
giving ide-cd the 'ignore=hdd' option. If the ide-cd driver grabs it,
ide-scsi starts up fine but had no devices to run. You don't see any
errors. I suspect this is what is happening to you, but I can't be
sure since I don't have a real SCSI bus to confirm the behavior.

Finally, I perhaps the order of loading SCSI modules makes a
difference? I suspect not, since the documentation does indicate that
scsi_mod must be loaded before anything else and unloaded after
everything else. For my part, I force ide-scsi to load before both sg
and sr_mod, and ide-cd to load before ide-scsi. This I do via the
/etc/modutils/ structure, a search of the Debian lists should show you
many examples for the pre-built kernels.

Cheers!
Shyamal

It comes with the -dev package. Most likely you haven't installed
libgnet-dev yet.

It's an empty threat... Since non-subscribed people can send messages to

Re: Office soulution

I ended up getting openoffice.org, it's very slow loading as it's 
running on xbox debian, it does the job though. Although i 
have found it does not always open .xls files, it somtimes 
says file is passwd protected and it not.

Why my nfs client doesn't work?

[jqdkf]

Hi,

I have set up an nfs server and it can be mounted by most nfs clients,
but there is one doesn't work. I use "rpcinfo -p ***.***.***.***" to
test that client, and it answers "Can't contact portmapper: Remote
System Error - connection refused". When I use "rpcinfo -p" on that
client, which is also an nfs server, it can show the information like
10 2 tcp 111 portmapper. 
I can't figure out what is going wrong. the /etc/exports and
/etc/hosts.allow hosts.deny is right. Any help?

ooqstart-gnome does not quickstart the install, it keeps an openoffice
thread in memory at all times so that documents are opened very fast. If
you have sufficient RAM, it is very convenient because otherwise
openoffice is really slow to launch.

The Openoffice package is openoffice.org

Why .org ? I have no idea, but it's Openoffice for you.

I think it depends on what copyright notice you attached to the original
source code. I think that the author of a derivative work is only
required to include any copyright notice and license found in the original
work. If you, as the copyright holder, just include the GPL and state that
you are licensing the software under the GPL without mentioning yourself by
name as the copyright holder, I don't think the author of a derivative work
is obliged to mention you. Possibly he is not obliged to mention you at all.
The whole issue of copyright with the GPL is a bit dodgy IMHO. It says:

"conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice"

How to read 'conspicuous' and 'appropriate' here? Have to wait for it
to be defined in court.

In the future, please put the information in your subject line into the
main text of your message also.  Not all people can see the subject line
while typing a reply.

char-major-6 would be the parallel printer.  Your system is probably
trying to load the module lp, but cannot find it (eg, it doesn't exist,
it is not in the proper location).

Excerpt from $KERNEL_SOURCE/Documentation/devices.txt:
  6 char  Parallel printer devices
  0 = /dev/lp0  Parallel printer on parport0
  1 = /dev/lp1  Parallel printer on parport1
  ...

  Current Linux kernels no longer have a fixed mapping
  between parallel ports and I/O addresses.  Instead, they
  are redirected through the parport multiplex layer.

Re: Output Plugin for xmms

Ximian Evolution unstable-on-testing sending problem

[Leandro Guimarães Faria Corsetti Dutra]

Just wondering if I should send a bug report...

Evolution stalls all email sends because one of the smtp servers I use
stalled.  I think it should stall only messages due to that particular
server, or at least give indication of what it was waiting for.

The error message that appeared when adding a message to the queue or
trying "Send and Receive" was:

Error while performing operation:
Welcome response error: Operation now in progress.

Does this seems like warranting a bug report?

What does "give credit" means?

The GPL says nothing about that.  But it is a basic principle of
copyright that you can't remove the copyright notices in the originals you
use, either to create a straightforward copy or a derivate.

If someone else uses code copyrighted by you, then they need to include
your copyright notice. As I understand it, this is true regardless of
the licence.

I don't believe that the GPL requires people to give you credit in their
documentation, advertising materials, or what have you. In fact, the
"BSD advertising clause" is incompatible with the GPL.

I have tree output plugins there:

1. OSSDriver 1.2.7

3. Disk Writer Plugin 1.2.7

And non of them seem to work. 

BTW, I guess KDE starts alsa when KDE is tarted, though I don't know

rtsp is used by realplayer and nothing else.  No idea why the ietf bothered.

How to access a file with RTSP protocol?

[Aryan Ameri]

Hi there:

Many of the files in our university's server, have an address that 
starts with "rtsp:\\" I investigated a bit, and it seems that RTSP is a 
standard protocol for real time streaming, which is recognized by IETF.

Still, nither mozilla nor Konqueror aren't able to do anything with 
these file. left clicikng on file, and right clicking on it and issuing 
the "save link target as.." command simply do nothing.

How can I access these rtsp files? How can I doenload/listen to them?

At the top of /etc/bogofilter.cf it states:

`Non-comment lines of bogofilter.cf.example show default settings as
used in the bogofilter source code.'

Now bogofilter's maintainer has taken bogofilter.cf.example and copied
it to /etc/bogofilter.cf, at the same time inserting # at the beginning
of each line.  I would assume this would have no effect on the default
settings (lines commencing with a single #) as they are in the source
code and the binary is compiled using them.

So you have a workable configuration without having to alter this file.

Brian.

Perhaps not quite. You'd also need anything new from:

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

Try this.

# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation
# (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
