netatalk -user error
It has been a long time since I have set up netatalk on a server. I have ran into a snare. 1. when I try to connect to the netatalk server via os x and type my passwd it gives me "You have entered more characters than the maximum number allowed" This happens as soon as I press one key and will not allow me to enter a passwd or connect with using a legitimate user on that sever. 2. When I have a guest account and do not want any user to connect just a guest. How do I turn off the user login. Thanks, Adam

Re: Advansys driver freezes kernel
As I understand, the problem before was using bitfields in the structs mapped onto the device registers. However, I just looked at the current version of the driver, and those are all gone. There's even an explicit comment about why they were converted. Other than that, it's likely to be something slightly more subtle. Without knowing the driver code better, it's hard to say.

Re: Advansys driver freezes kernel
Thanks Brad. What would it be likely to take to fix the driver? I learned C a long time ago, but I am not an expert and I wouldn't have time to do a really major engineering project. Would it just be a question of trawling through the source code and changing little-endian things into big-endian things in some kind of fairly obvious way, or would it be much more complicated than that?

This only happens when the card is installed in my machine. I have tried this with various differently compiled kernels from two different sets of kernel sources (2.4.20-8d (Yellow Dog 3.0) and 2.4.22 (from kernel.org)) but the same thing always happens. There were some serious endianness bugs in the advansys driver, and I'm not sure they were all fixed. As I recall, it was only tested on one specific model rather than on all the supported cards. Based on my back email archives, Jerry Quinn got it working on a 970UW card back in 2000. The version of the driver he used didn't support the U2W cards, and he apparently didn't have one to test. I do have both a 970UW and a 940-U2W, but I'm not really in a position to move them around to a ppc box or to fix the driver.

It should work on any system using late versions of glibc-2.3.1 (such as YDL 3.0) or glibc-2.3.2 such as Mandrake, etc. You may want to install and use it while you wait for official debian debs to come along.

Failing that, is there any way to install on that drive > manually? You'd need a new kernel that supported firewire. That'll work for the installer, as it already has it's initrd and can wait for the kernel to init the FW, and provides a nice shell for you to "jiggle the wires" to get the drive to be recognized and function. But that only works for the Installer. In order to actually be able to boot you'll need to concoct your own initrd to spin it's wheels and "jiggle wires" until it's able to find the FW drive and mount it. I have one that works about 1/3 of the time, when it boots at all, but my linuxrc/fake init doesn't retry yet. My iBook I can get too boot with a little bit of luck, the G4 tower I was playing with with a little more luck, I've not had any luck getting the kernel to survive contact with a G5 yet, and the eMac I tried wouldn't acknowledge the drive was connected. Oh, and the yaboot config is a bit of a pain because Apple can't seem to make up their minds about what to call the devalias for the firewire controler.

Yes. Appletalk does not use IP (it uses DDP), so 'redirecting a port' will not do that job. For file services you can use AppleShare/IP, which is supported by netatalk (and uses TCP-Sockets to port 548). Printing using AppleTalk shouldn't be possible via the Internet. If you want to do that, you have to tunnel DDP or to bridge the networks together.

Re: Ethernet problem -- Network completely dies
Not at one of those machines presently, and I don't recall the specific model
atm, but it uses the de4x5 or tulip drivers.
The fix I've seen in the past was to buffer the descriptors to 32 bytes
(cache line size?). I've had to do the same for the epic100 driver when
using it in that machine.

X server memory consumption is a FAQ and has recently been discussed here, but the X server should normally never hog the CPU (and it doesn't here) unless there are clients flooding it with requests. If there are no suspect clients, does the CPU hogging prevail over an X server restart?

Yes, the X server can only work as root, the Xwrapper (/usr/X11R6/bin/X) is needed for mere mortals to be able to startx. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer \ Debian (powerpc), XFree86 and DRI developer Software libre enthusiast \ http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
Re: Installing onto external FireWire drive.
On Tuesday, September 30, 2003, at 10:54 PM, Chris Tillman wrote: I believe the powerpc installation kernel doesn't include drivers for Firewire. You would need to obtain or compile a kernel that does, and substitute it for the linux.bin you are using, or load the module separately (I'm not quite sure how this is done). Indeed--according to a HOWTO for Yellow Dog Linux, you also have to build a new root.bin; in fact, the impression I got is that the new-powerpc kernel (which I'm using) does have Firewire modules, but they're not loaded in the RAM disk. I'm probably mistaken, though. Is there any way to get the installer to recognize the firewire drive? (Do I need a different linux.bin and/or root.bin, and if so, where can I get them?) Failing that, is there any way to install on that drive manually? This is my first Linux installation, though I do have experience with Darwin, so I can understand some Unix-speak. :) This is the hard way to go for your first installation. Do have a few hundred meg available on an ide drive? I do, but I was really hoping to avoid re-partitioning that drive. 120GB hard drives are a wonderful thing for video--my main line--but rather nasty to backup on ten to twenty DVD-RWs. :) I suppose the alternative might be to crack open my iMac, take the Firewire drive out of its enclosure, put it on the IDE bus, and install Debian, then put the drive back into Firewire. Or... maybe I'll just do a backup. :) Thanks, Zach

I have no running apus box at the moment, so maybe Simon would be the best candidate, altough i just need to find a monitor or TV to revive it. 2.6.0 booted on it at Oldenburg.

Re: Ethernet problem -- Network completely dies
Did you build your own kernel? If so, which version? You might need a small patch for that driver to work correctly.

Re: Ethernet problem -- Network completely dies
The 6500 has some quirks, I've got a couple of the 250 MHz model, and have had plenty of annoyance dealing with these issues. Just to be sure, if you do "ifdown eth0" then "ifup eth0", does it re-enable the ethernet? Thanks, in fact if the computer's network has hung, then the command "ifdown eth0" totally freezes the machine, and I have to do a hard reboot. I did a little detective work, and the exact step in ifdown that triggers the freeze is "ifconfig eth0 down". Also, what ethernet card are you using? the onboard one? Yep, it's the onboard one. -- Z
