Re: Sound module
At 00:59 1996-12-19 +0100, you wrote: Hej all, I recently put up Debian on my machine, and think that it's a good system. There is one thing, that I would like to mention, on the new stable kernel release 2.0.27. I was using the debian 2.0.6 before, and after upgrading the sound module disappeared. Some other modules, the CD-ROM modules seem to have been put into the kernel, these are the modules mcd, mcdx, and others the like. When installing the 2.0.6, I tried to activate these modules for my CD-ROM (a NEC 4x CD-ROM), that was connected to an ATAPI interface (non PnP). Non of them worked, so they weren't installed. But with the new kernel, all of these try to probe for a CD-ROM, each in turn after the other... non of them finding my CD, even if it is connected to an active ATAPI interface. The older module 'cdrom', did find my CD and activated it, but now... the new release is blind as a bat. Failing all else, my CD-ROM works as /dev/hdc :-) As i see it the ATAPI module is now included in the kernel and it dosn't tell that it has found the cd-rom(not for me it dosn't). And the sound module does not exist for me either, but it's only to recompile the kernel(it is very simple actualy) and it should then work. But I miss the sound module... is there a sound module for the 2.0.27 kernel? i miss it to but in order to get those dam cdrom-drivers not to search in the startup sequence you must recompile the kernel? or have i missed something. _, _, __, _, __, _, _, __, _, _ _, _, _ | /_\ |_) (_|_ | / \ | \ |\/| /_\ |\ | | , | | | \ , ) | | , \ / |_/ | | | | | \| ~~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ E-Mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Url:http://www.ntostud.mh.se/ Phone:+46 (0)63128373, +46 (0)106556258 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

libg++ for 1.1

List of installation problems for 1.2
The following list was composed from reports of those who have already installed Debian GNU/Linux 1.2. If you are having any trouble with your installation, consult this list for possible solutions. 1. Already reported as a bug: Can't find xlib6 so file. Add /usr/X11R6/lib to ld.so.conf and run ldconfig. 2. Dselect fails to satisfy pre-depends for perl (libdl1) Installing ldso by hand solves the problem. 3. Bug#5659: dpkg-gencontrol fails in chown new files listfile. Possible patch. 4. New sendmail fails to use old .cf file One report indicates re-installation fixes the problem. 5. Cron dies. (actually never starts) Run update-rc.d cron defaults 6. Gcc depends on cpp, but cpp conflicts with gcc. Retag gcc and re-run deselect. 7. Modconf messes up screen display on some lines. Possible dialog problem? 8. /bin/perl disapears and reappears during installation. Replace link by hand: ln -s /usr/bin/perl /bin/perl 9. Bug#5479 dpkg fails to preserve set id bits when copying files. No fix reported (possible patch) 10. gpm preinstall can't remove old gpm Remove by hand using dpkg --purge. 11. xbase can't remove xdm and xfs Remove by hand using dpkg --purge. 12. libg++ and libg++-dev conflict. Re-running the installation fixes it. 13. dependent packages bomb because libc5 is not installed first Upgrade base first. 14. no /dev/sr0 from MAKEDEV New version fixes this. 15. Gimp fails because there is no .gimprc file Create an empty .gimprc 16. Base-files should Provide: base Was: Smartlist and possibly other programs as well, depend on base. Fixed in the next version. 17. Adduser depends on perl-suid, not in base. Install by hand using --force-depends 18. Mc fails to declare it's dependence on libgpm. Should declare dpendence on libgpm. Install the gpm package.

I also had a similar problem on an old Ultra 386/SX laptop. I was finally
able to install by using my main machine to compile a very generic kernel.
I'm not sure what I took out that solved the problem though. If you have
the means then:
1. create the new kernel, zImage, with as few options as possible
(RAMDISK support is required!!)
2. mount your rescue floppy with the kernel image on it, usually named
linux
3. cp {source_root}/arch/i386/zImage /mnt/linux, or wherever you mounted
the floppy.
Hope this helps.

Re: List of installation problems for 1.2
Nicely summarized list, Dale. But, I've a few notes to add: Dale Scheetz said: 1. Already reported as a bug: Can't find xlib6 so file. Add /usr/X11R6/lib to ld.so.conf and run ldconfig. I did not have this problem. My /etc/ld.so.conf still contains /usr/X11R6/lib after my upgrade. 4. New sendmail fails to use old .cf file One report indicates re-installation fixes the problem. I could not get sendmail to use my old .cf file, nor a new one I generated. Re-installing sendmail did not help. It always complains about the line: Kdequote dequote saying file does not exist. My only solution was to down-grade to 8.7.6-1 5. Cron dies. (actually never starts) Run update-rc.d cron defaults cron died for me, but the symlinks remained. All I had to do was /etc/init.d/cron start I did not have to use 'update-rc.d' 11. xbase can't remove xdm and xfs Remove by hand using dpkg --purge. Again, I did not experience this problem during the upgrade. 17. Adduser depends on perl-suid, not in base. Install by hand using --force-depends On a philosophical note, I don't believe that a required base package should depend on a program which is an inherent security risk (perl-suid). As a final note, 'elm' is still broken when reading mail from a nfs-mounted spool dir. It fails to restore the correct permissions (should be 660, ends up being 600). This makes it impossible for the remote sendmail to deliver the mail (not sure exactly why -- the sendmail on the remote in this case is AIX's sendmail). I had to restore my hacked version of elm (which is fixed for my situation only). -- Scott Barker Linux Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cuug.ab.ca:8001/~barkers/ (under construction) [ I try to reply to all e-mail within 3 days.

Re: 1.2 installation, more notes
o I'm having problems recompiling the kernel. Compilation and module installation proceeds smoothly (using kernel-sources-2.0.27_1.00 ), but at boot time the slhc, slip and ppp modules I selected (and I suspect the rest in that category) are not recognized/loaded. Even if I tell make config to include slip/ppp/slhc in the kernel instead of as modules, I cannot use slip or ppp. I noticed these modules were advertised as being (NEW!) on the first compile. The kludge I used was to compile the kernel with my specifications, but use the /lib/modules/2.0.27-old directory instead of the one installed by the make modules_install. This might be the same one I noticed some time ago (older kernel). When you compile a new kernel with the same number (2.0.27 in this case), the new modules go to the same modules directory. However, the installation does not remove the old modules from the same directory. If you compile some module into the new kernel, the same module is both in kernel and in modules. It seems that the kernel gets confused in this case.

Re: zircon needs X11R6 package?
Well, zircon needs tk which needs tcl and X. And yes, I didn't notice that before, but there is no X11R6 package, and there has been some discussion about what the dependancy should be, And for the life of me, i can't find where someone answered that. Help, anyone? The xbase package has a virtual package named X11R6. Maybe your xbase package isn't the newer version. It's the xbase_3.2-1.1.deb, in x11 directory.

Re: List of installation problems for 1.2
Thank you for your response. On Wed, 18 Dec 1996, Scott Barker wrote: Nicely summarized list, Dale. But, I've a few notes to add: Dale Scheetz said: 1. Already reported as a bug: Can't find xlib6 so file. Add /usr/X11R6/lib to ld.so.conf and run ldconfig. I did not have this problem. My /etc/ld.so.conf still contains /usr/X11R6/lib after my upgrade. Correct. This only happens with a new install. 4. New sendmail fails to use old .cf file One report indicates re-installation fixes the problem. I could not get sendmail to use my old .cf file, nor a new one I generated. Re-installing sendmail did not help. It always complains about the line: Kdequote dequote saying file does not exist. My only solution was to down-grade to 8.7.6-1 I will forward you comments tothe sendmail maintainer. 5. Cron dies. (actually never starts) Run update-rc.d cron defaults cron died for me, but the symlinks remained. All I had to do was /etc/init.d/cron start I did not have to use 'update-rc.d' If you don't update rc.d you will probably have to manually start cron every time you reboot. Does it still have a cron entry? 11. xbase can't remove xdm and xfs Remove by hand using dpkg --purge. Again, I did not experience this problem during the upgrade. Great! 17. Adduser depends on perl-suid, not in base. Install by hand using --force-depends On a philosophical note, I don't believe that a required base package should depend on a program which is an inherent security risk (perl-suid). Almost everyone here agrees. This is currently being fixed. As a final note, 'elm' is still broken when reading mail from a nfs-mounted spool dir. It fails to restore the correct permissions (should be 660, ends up being 600). This makes it impossible for the remote sendmail to deliver the mail (not sure exactly why -- the sendmail on the remote in this case is AIX's sendmail). I had to restore my hacked version of elm (which is fixed for my situation only). As the elm maintainer I would be pleased to see a diff of your hacked version. I have no way to test an nfs mount, so I will rely heavily on your feedback. Again, Thanks for the input.

Re[2]: rawrite under nt - bad things happen...
RE: RAWRITE.exe under MS N/T - Bad things happen... The fix? was to load DOSKEY. I think it has something to do with memory pages.

procmail as local mailer for sendmail
Hi, A couple of weeks ago I changed the default local mailer for sendmail (deliver) with procmail (this was a suggestion of [EMAIL PROTECTED]). The reason for this change was that deliver does not notify comsat of new mail so I ca no get asynchronous notification of incoming mail through the biff program. Well, everything works fine except that with the default setup some situations are not handled right: when I am using vi and am connected through modem to the system and get disconnected because of noise, the cron daemon sends me an e-mail leeting me know how to recover the file I was editing. Well, in the list of processes I see a sendmail -t and a procmail -Y -a -d eparis. The procmail process never finishes so sendmail (the parent process) does not finishes either. I guess the problem is this -a switch that according to procmail's man page, requires a parameter following it. I don't see this parameter when the cron daemon sends the message to me. I can solve the situation by getting rid of the -a switch in the local mailer args. This is the important part of my sendmail.mc file: FEATURE(local_procmail, /usr/bin/procmail) define(`LOCAL_MAILER_ARGS', `procmail -Y -d $u') MAILER(local)dnl If I get rid of the define statement above I get the problem described. This is because the default for the LOCAL_MAILER_ARGS define is `procmail -Y -a $h -d $u'. Does any one has a clue of what's happening with this -a $h switch and why the cron daemon has problems sending local mail? Thanks in advance. E.- -- Eloy A.

Accents like DOS and Windows?
Hello. I've read *all* the documents in /usr/doc/HOWTO and /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini about configuring the keyboard for non-us languages, and learned how to use the dead-keys in text mode. Now I'm really close by stop using Windows 95, but I'm with troubles. In DOS and Windows, persons who don't have the ccedilla Ç key and use this character, like me, can use the apostophre key followed by the C key. But the dead_acute option in the '.map' files don't do it. The result is 'c. The solve I encountered was using the AltGR key in conjunction with the C key, but this is very inconvenient. I don't found the solution in any of the HOWTOS or man pages I saw. There is some manner of using the dead_acute option to make the C key generates the ccedilla character? Another question: I don't found how to make the X-Windows use accents correctly. The documents I found are all about the old method 'xmodmap', who doesn't have dead-keys. None of them talk about the new 'xkdb' extensions, who have dead-keys. There is some new HOWTO about using the xkbd? Where can I find it? Thanks in advance.

If I remember this correctly: Data Communication equipment (DCE) and Data Terminal Equipment (DTE). When connecting something like a computer and modem together you don't interchange any of the wires. Since the send pin on one matches the recieve pin on the other. The wires only need switched when connecting two pieces of equipment of the same type together, which it sounds like you are doing. One solution is to simply make your cable with the one-to-one mapping of pins and simply buy a null modem adapter to swap the pins. If you want to hard wire the change into your cable, I've got a null modem that I've opened up here. It looks like pins 2 and 3 have been interconnected. Pins 4 and 5 on a given connector are tied together, and go to pin 8 on the opposite connector. Pin 6 is tied to pin 20. I would try to verify this with someone else though just to be sure.

Compilation and module installation proceeds smoothly (using kernel-sources-2.0.27_1.00 ), but at boot time the slhc, slip and ppp modules I selected (and I suspect the rest in that category) are not recognized/loaded. Even if I tell make config to include slip/ppp/slhc in the kernel instead of as modules, I cannot use slip or ppp. I noticed these modules were advertised as being (NEW!) on the first compile. The kludge I used was to compile the kernel with my specifications, but use the /lib/modules/2.0.27-old directory instead of the one installed by the make modules_install. This might be the same one I noticed some time ago (older kernel). When you compile a new kernel with the same number (2.0.27 in this case), the new modules go to the same modules directory. However, the installation does not remove the old modules from the same directory. If you compile some module into the new kernel, the same module is both in kernel and in modules. It seems that the kernel gets confused in this case. This couldn't have been a problem the first time I compiled the kernel, since I was careful to rename the 2.0.27 directory to 2.0.27-old. So when make modules_install ran, it created a new directory containing only the newly compiled modules. However, on comparison with the old modules.dep file, there seems to be some missing information in the new modules.dep file. Some other mails indicated that /sbin/depmod -a might be required at some point during recompilation, probably after make modules_install.

IS there a reason why...
I installed the new apache onto my system, and have all but one thing working, I cannot get anything in the cgi-bin to be found. The srm.conf file has it called out as: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/httpd/cgi-bin/ Which is where it is located on the server, but whenever I try to access any of the cgi scripts I get file not found errors.

Re: List of installation problems for 1.2
Dale Scheetz said:
If you don't update rc.d you will probably have to manually start cron
every time you reboot. Does it still have a cron entry?
Yes, I still have a cron entry in /etc/rcX.d
But, as I said, I was going from an upgrade, not a bare install, so I imagine
my links were left over from prior to the upgrade. (I notice the postinst
script doesn't create them).
As the elm maintainer I would be pleased to see a diff of your hacked
version. I have no way to test an nfs mount, so I will rely heavily on
your feedback.
Here you go. Note that I haven't really fixed the underlying problem, I've
just altered the code so that it fixes my particular situation. My feeling is
that the (!need_to_copy) test should be (need_to_copy), but since I'm not very
intimate with the elm code, I can't be sure. Therefore, I've simply commented
out the test, so that the file perms are restored every time.

named woes
Hi all, I have everything working alright on Debian 1.2, except named. named is working, it will resolve names with no problems. Unfortunately, it connects to my ISP, so when I use it when the link is down it takes quite a while to get up and running. On Debian 1.1 it this worked ok. On Debian 1.2 it times out before it gets resolves the address. I have worked around it for the moment by having my ISP's address appear 3 times in resolv.conf, it treats it as three different name servers. This is but a frig, how can I change the timeout?

ppp and mgetty
Hi all, ... and now for something completely different. I have one modem on my debian box. I use this to connect to my ISP using diald/ppp. works a charm. I now need to enable external access to my debian box. I am going to be travelling and I will need access to my hard disk. I downloaded mgetty and configured it, but when it is spawned, diald will raise the ip link but ppp fails. Any bright ideas?

Network trouble (?) with kernel 2.0.27

I'm getting lots of messages like the following in /var/adm/messages: Dec 19 22:37:19 blackbird last message repeated 569167 times Dec 19 22:38:19 blackbird last message repeated 577432 times Dec 19 22:39:19 blackbird last message repeated 569323 times Dec 19 22:40:19 blackbird last message repeated 575027 times I used to get this sometimes with kernel 1.2.13 when networking with 2 interfaces (ppp and eth0) and assumed that it was ppp trouble. Since it wasn't too bad i used to ignore it, but now it's becoming a nuisance because it's filling up the disk. Since this machine works only with 1 ethernet interface it can't be caused by ppp. One thing that might have to do with this is that i've configured 10 virtual interfaces for eth0 and, although they all work, when I run ifconfig I get a lot of warnings from insmod. It seems to be trying to load a module but fails with wrong version or undefined. It reports about 20 lines for sock_alloc_send_sbk, sock_setsockopt, sock_register, etc. I really don't know what this means and although everything seems to be working I'd like to correct any configuration error.

Re: Cross Compiling for DOS/Windows3.1/Windows95

The win32 is old...the stuff from cygnus is not cross-compiled yet (but it shouldn't be too difficult...) The Win32 development crosscompiler I downloaded yesterday appears to be from cygnus. At least the name is: i386-unknown-cygwin32. The interesting thing is that when I tried using it to compile my code I got undefined function errors for sqrtl() and fabsl() even though I had included math.h. Looking at the library archives for libm.a didn't seem to have these functions, but listed: e_sqrt, ef_sqrt, w_sqrt, wf_sqrt, s_abs, and sf_abs. I tried changing the functions in the program to these and still got errors. I finally just used sqrt() and abs(), and the code compiled. I don't know why though. Trying to run the result on a Win95 machine gave an error saying no cygwin.dll file found. This was easilly remedied, but now I get an error saying the dll requested doesn't match (wrong magic number). I'm barely conversant in C so I'm not too sure what I'm doing here. Don't install djgpp under dosemu...but you need to make a compiler and binutils... According to my understanding of a previous post it seems the djgpp library could be installed for cross compiling with gcc, but that the elf version of gcc could be a problem. Is this correct? Do I need two copies of gcc, one for a.out compilation and one for elf? Basically, can you explain briefly how to set this up? What steps are needed? I can probably work out the details if I know what needs to be done.
