Re: samba problems
Domain=[workgroup] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 1.9.15p4] I believe two or three loop bugs were found in the earlier releases of SAMBA. The current release is 1.9.16p2, you should probably install that release. I have been running it for a few weeks (on IRIX 5.3) and it seems quite stable (although there are a few browsing problems). This seems to be the case (i.e. there were bugs in version 1.9.16alpha10) as since I down graded all my hosts to using Samba 1.9.15p4 every thing is fine. I think I will wait for the debian package of samba 1.9.16p2 rather than installing it by hand. I'm in no hurry to upgrade samba as 1.6.15p4 works just fine. I would warn others from using Samba 1.9.16alpha10 and would go so far as to advise debian to remove 1.9.16alpha10 from rex and replace it with 1.9.15p4 from buzz pending the debian release of samba 1.9.16p2 (yes, that is how broken 1.9.16alpha10 is). In reading the samba news group (which I do now) I understand that the new version is quite stable. I would just like to finish by saying that this is the first major problem we have have had in the past year with an unstable version of debian. The completeness and robustness of the debian distribution (even in the, IMHO misnamed, unstable version) continues to astound me day after day. Debian truely is the best, most up-to-date, best supported, and easiest to use linux distribution that I know of on the market today. Thanks for everyone's help!

It is an internal 33.6 cardinal voice modem, and it uses com3 on my win95 setup.

Also, I have the minicom program ( I think that is what it is called, so until I get the net tools and the ppp going, this should do. So basically I just need to find which of the dev choices is my modem, and if it is even on that list. is there any reason why you cannot copy the files directly from your Win95 partition? for example, make directory in your Linux root dir ( /drivec or something like that) then, use mount. mount /dev/hda1 /drivec -t vfat /dev/hda1 represents the partition where win95 resides. You'll probably have to change it to represent where YOUR win95 partition is. -t vfat tells it to use the vfat filesystem, so you get your long filenames. in Unix: /dev/hda First IDE hard drive on primary channel (master) /dev/hdb Second(slave) /dev/hdc First IDE drive on secondary channel(master) /dev/hdd Second (slave) then, you need to know what the partition number is. you can find this out in linux fdisk. just type fdisk /dev/hd? where ? is the drive in question. then type p to print the partition table. don't worry, fdisk won't do anything unless you tell it to.

list server finally changing
Special instructions if you want to un-subscribe: send the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . The Debian mailing list server is changing over now. I changed the name lists.debian.org in the DNS database, and not every site will get this change immediately because DNS data is cached at each site. You can force use of the new server by using the host name new-lists.debian.org for the next day or so if you wish. All sites should have the updated DNS data in a day or so. I'm afraid that the address list in the new server is slightly out of phase with that in the old one, so we may have to re-add people to debian-devel, etc. Once this change is completed, all 100 Debian maintainers will be able to control the mailing list, so there should be no more problems with the prolonged absence of the list manager.

This should get your ppp up prior to going to the mount
phase.
Are you the guy who's doing data collection with a underwater linux
system? I think that'd make a great Linux Journal article :-)
This seems to be a very popular problem. Debian, RedHat,
Slackware, SunOS, Solaris, Irix all kill all processes prior
to unmounting filesystems. The theory behind this is that
if a filehandle is open on a filesystem, it can't be
unmounted. The problem is when the process killed is ypbind
or pppd and you can't resolve the hostname of the NFS
server.
I did like redhat's solution; it worked for me, but I can think of
situations where it wouldn't..
I think Solaris 2.5+ has a functional fuser command
that could be used to kill all processes (close all open
filehandles) on a mount point. The shutdown procedure could
then kill processes on NFS mounted filesystems first,
unmount NFS filesystems, then do its normal routine of
killing all processes and umounting all filesystems.
Anybody know if Debian's fuser command supports this?
Anybody got any other ideas here?
It looks like fuser will support this, it has a -k flag that will kill all
processes accessing a file. fuser -m -k /home should kill every process
using the /home partition.
I see that red hat uses a nfsfs script that's responsible for
starting/stopping nfs services at the appropriate time. Unless I'm just
totally missing something with my problems as I described them above, I
propose that a similar script be added to debian.
How does this script handle the open filehandles issue on
It doesn't handle them at all. The key thing is, it's a standard sysv init
script, so the sysadmin can change the order it's executed in my changing
the symlink, and so can ensure that anything else that's using the nfs
mounts gets killed before the script is executed. (In theory, anyway.)
Do you have a copy of the script?

Of course, depending on the amount of memory, speed/size of the disk, presence or absense of memory cache, etc, performance may vary widely.

If so, you need to change it to this:

spd_vhi
Or you could be more brute-force about it and simply do this:
${SETSERIAL} -b /dev/cua2 irq 4 skip_test autoconfig ${STD_FLAGS} spd_vhi
This stuff is in the file /etc/rc.boot/0setserial on Debian systems.
Modify it to suit your system.
Also, you need to make sure you have no IRQ conflicts with other devices.
A few programs may work fine in DOS/Windows with IRQ conflicts, but
probably things will not with Linux. First off, I would try the AUTO_IRQ
option as Susan mentioned. But if you have problems, then I would suggest
investigating whether you have IRQ conflicts.
Typically, IRQ 4 is used for COM1, so it probably should not be used for
COM3. COM2 usually uses IRQ 3. IRQs 5 and 7 are usually safe to use for a
modem on COM3 or COM4. However, if you have a sound card, it probably uses
one of these so you'll need to find out which one it uses then use the
other one for your modem. Generally, IRQs are changed on an internal modem
with jumpers. Look in your modem manual for details (sometimes the cards
are labeled too). Then modify /etc/rc.boot/0setserial appropriately.

RE: Trashed disk
From my SCSI days of long ago... I believe your disk is telling you that it tried to write to a sector but that when it went to read it back to verify the data written was correct, the verify failed. Typically SCSI disks will then automatically reallocate the bad sector with some reserved sectors at the end of the disk. To find out for sure if the disk is saying this, you would need the tech manual for your fujitsu disk and look up the codes contained in the sense data. If this is the case and you're consistently seeing these messages, I'd say your disk is spiraling downward. Eventually the disk will run out of sectors to re-map and a SCSI write will fail. If Linux does not support its own remapping on failed writes (does anyone know if it does?) you'll probably get a panic, your system will halt and you'll probably have a hell of a time trying to repair the volume and remount it to back it up. Your disk could last for years to come or it could fail in minutes. My experience with these types of failures is that they tend to spiral relatively quickly (hours to days).

NTeX for Debian generalized packaging
There has been talk recently about replacing the debian version of the TeX stuff with teTeX or NTeX. I myself have been using NTeX and have found it very good. The only problem is that because I haven't installed the debian versions of TeX, when I want to install another package that wants you have have TeX stuff, eg lyx etc, dselect wants you to install all the TeX stuff. It would be much nicer to have something like NTeX as part of the official Debian distribution. Some time ago, I emailed the creator of NTeX, Frank Langbein. He runs debian himself, so I asked him about the possibility of debianizing his distribution. He said that he wouldn't and gave the following reasons: To provide a debian package I would have to reconstruct all the install procedures, etc. Once thing that will no longer be possible is the free choice of the various installation directories. And if I use the special debian package dependencies I have to provide a binary for installation. This causes trouble if NTeX is install on any non-Linux system. Currently I'm rather happy with the installation scripts form NTeX even if they are a bit slow. Since I'm not part of the debian project I prefer to have my own packaing system. Can any of his concerns be addressed? I know very little about the mechanics of the Debian package system, but could the packaging system be made more general so that the same packaging system could be used on multiple platforms? Ie, if the debian packaging tools were general enough, he (or another volunteer) could distribute NTeX using these tools, not just on debian systems, but on a range of platforms. Perhaps the debian package tools could be modified to provide the flexibility needed for use on a range of systems. Each system would then set parameters to mold the packaging system to the platform in question. The Debian packaging system would be simply one version of a more generic packaging system. Perhaps what I'm suggesting is simply infeasible, but it's worth asking. It would be great if somehow NTeX could be packaged for Debian. Mark Phillips. ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

RE: Scsi errors
Can anyone help me here? I've got an AHA1542 with a quantum XP32150W as the only device on the chain.

Although I wouldn't always trust what an Adaptec controller was telling me. Too bad your logs don't give timing information. From the data given (and my limited knowledge of how Linux disk drivers work) I'd say that Linux's timeout on IO requests may be too short, causing a race condition between when the status of the async disk IO is is returned and when Linux goes in to reset mode. (Linux times out, sends the bus and device reset (which should cause this disk to forget about any IOs) but after all of that's over, the Adaptec tries to say the IOs completed successfully). Last time I was writing SCSI disk drivers (about 1992) newer disks were capable of queuing 64 commands. That number could be up substantially now. If an average IO takes 10ms to process, 256 queued IOs could take 2.5 seconds to process; may be bumping into Linux's SCSI device driver timeout. Just a theory... Then again this whole problem may be as simple as a bad SCSI cable or termination (very common problem and usually intermittent) or disk controller or host adapter brains going south. I don't have the source for the SCSI disk controller, If I get a chance I'll download some source and try to look through it to see what the timeouts are and if they're easily configured.

Netatalk borke in 2.06 to 2.0.20???
Hello all. Netatalk does not seem to be functioning on my system since upgrading to kernel 2.0.6. I upgraded to 2.0.20 to see if it would come back. Everything loads fine, but the macintosh clients don't see the Linux box's file system and printers. Nbplkup shows all the devices on the network (Mac and Linux) and I can use the equivalent of ping to bounce packets off both Mac and Linux boxes. Any ideas?? Pat Ouellette
Re: Missing terminfo entries?
Raymond Penners wrote: Perhaps not ncurses itself, but something is wrong somewhere. Several programs such as vim (3.0-5), joe/jmacs (2.8-4) complain about a missing termcap entries (e.g. when I set TERM=amiga). Here we are. ncurses is termcap compatible but doesn't provide a termcap file. To get it you have to install termcap-compat package. a grep on the Contents file is always helpfull :-) I did not have termcap-compat installed, since it mentions: [...] You need this package if a program [...] complains about a missing /etc/termcap file. This was exactly your case. But, why those packages requires termcap? I have checked vim and found that 3.0-5 was linked using -ltermcap while 3.0-6 uses -lncurses Grab it from development/binary-i386/editors/vim_3.0-6.deb and install It works, I have tested it. For the other packages I don't know, but can imagine a similar problem. Try first to install the versions that are under unstable (development). ciao Fabrizio -- +-+ | e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] | | http://megabaud.fi/~fpolacco/ Join the UKI Linux Project! | | fingerprint 70 1A 72 2D 2B C8 A5 63 7A C2 CC E0 2A 54 AE DA | | finger: [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] | +-+

Cirrus Logic GP-5446
Hi folks, [not me again].. I decided to do the decent thing and switch to PCI. . ... The long and short of it is that I am stuck with a Cirrus Logic GP-5446 (2Mb) video card that X claims it cannot id (X -Probeonly actually reports something like 64k) I wonder if there is anyone out there who knows about these things or has (is having) the same problem...

HELP for network setup
I'm recently instaling Debian 1.1. from CD-ROM. I made X11 window works. Everything seems fine and I like it except that I can not make networking up. Here is my situation: I have a office-wide LAN with a hub. Currently A freeBSD and Sun workstation are communicating through hub very well. So I don't have the direct access to Internet, but I do registered my domain name as newsham.com. I do have a PPP account (with static IP 205.198.193.254) provided by the local ISP. I have NE2000 Ethernet card installed. I am using following IP numbers for my machines 192.168.3.1 ultralean.newsham.com # Sun station 192.168.3.2 supanee.newsham.com # freeBSD 192.168.3.4 xlean.newsham.com # Linux (Debian 1.1) All this IP number are not registered, they only work locally. How can I configure the network and make PPP work under Debian. I guess the netmask is 255.255.255.0. Then what is the IP adddress of my network? what is the broadcastaddress to use on my network? what is the IP address of the default gateway system you should route to, if I do not have a gateway? Please help. I am almost desperated with Linux (I spent 3 days to install Slackware96, but Slackware96 is very buggy). Thanks in advance for any help. If you have a little time this evening and you willing to help me on networking, give me your phone number (international number is fine) I will phone you. Best Regards Tianlin Wang
