Kernel Versions
Right now, I'm running Debian 1.1 - stable (no updates or anything installed). I'd like to install the kernel sources in order to build a custom kernel. If I'm running version 2.0.0 of the kernel and I download and try to use the 2.0.27 version (from Debian 1.2) what, if any, problems might I run into? Is this a concern? Or will things work okay?

/etc/daily.cron/man broken by Debian 1.2?
Apparently the upgrade from Debian 1.1 to 1.2 broke a daily cron job which cleans up old catman files. The script used to work without any problem before the upgrade; now I get daily error messages to root. It's a minor annoyance, but I haven't found out the reason for it yet. Any ideas?

Problems with Talk under Debian
Hello, I have been having problems with talk and ytalk under Linux. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Both programs work fine when trying to talk to somebody else on the local machine. When trying to use talk or ytalk to talk to somebody on a remote system, neither program works. Talk just locks up displaying [Checking for invitation on caller's machine]. Ytalk complains of find_daemon: recv() failed Connection refused and then complains sendit: recv() failed Connection refused. On IRC #linux, somebody told me that there might be a problem in /etc/hosts, but did not know what the problem might be. I am using PPP and have dynamic IP addressing. My system also is UUCP-connected, so for the purposes of things like hostname, it is known as complete.org (the domain name used for news, mail, etc.) Everything seems to work OK -- IRC, News, etc. But not talk. So I hope that somebody here can help me. I have tried setting localhost to 127.0.0.0 but that seems to break more things than it fixes. People have told me that everything else is supposed to be 127.0.0.0 so I did that. Here is my /etc/hosts file: 127.0.0.0 complete.orgcomplete 127.0.0.1 localhost # These below are rarely used. 127.0.0.0 centre.complete.org centre 127.0.0.0 mail.complete.org mail 127.0.0.0 news.complete.org news # Some other irrelevant stuff trimmed.

Re: X Serial Ports
Hmm, it's look like X is trying use /dev/cua[13] or a symbol link to one of them. For instance, it might be that X is using /dev/mouse and the latter is a symbol link to /dev/cua[13]. Check out your '/etc/X11/XF86Config' file to see which devices are used Nope. /dev/mouse is linked to /dev/ttyS0, and /dev/modem is link to /dev/cua3. And the only thing is the X config file is /dev/ttyS0. Anyone else got any ideas? Cheers Paul -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Kernel Source
I've always rolled my own kernels from the source off of sunsite.unc.edu and never from the Debian source. My problem now is, I decided to wipe out my own kernel source and replace it with the Debian kernel source. I configured everything up to how it was before, and tried to run make dep but I get the following errors: gcc -I/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.27/include -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/mkdep scripts/mkdep.c scripts/mkdep.c: In function `main': scripts/mkdep.c:267: `patth_array' undeclared (first use this function) scripts/mkdep.c:267: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once scripts/mkdep.c:267: for each function it appears in.) scripts/mkdep.c:267: parse error before `;' scripts/mkdep.c:273: `name' undeclared (first use this function) scripts/mkdep.c: At top level: scripts/mkdep.c:290: parse error before `return' make: *** [scripts/mkdep] Error 1 dst:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.27# and as you see, it doesn't want to make the dependancies. Whats up with the kernel? I've never had this kind of problem before, and I didn't do any configuration differences on the configuration, except for modularizing a a.out support. Just to let everyone know, my ISP's T1 connection went down, and they are too stupid to figure out how to get it back up and running. I tried sending several messages out earlier, but it seems that they have been down for at least 3 or 4 hours. (I think it may be time to switch to a new ISP... nobody there REALLY knows any type of detailed knowledge of the systems they are running) so if this message DOES arrive, it will probably be REALLY LATE. :( -- Daniel Stringfield mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jax-inter.net/users/servo Send email for more information on the Jacksonville Linux Users Group! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

ANNOUNCE: New Logo and Feedback Page for the Debian Logo
Hi folks! I just installed the new Debian Logo Page (v3) today. You can have a look at it via http://fatman.mathematik.tu-muenchen.de/~schwarz/debian-logo/ The new page contains 31 new and 8 old logos and uses HTML forms to make it easy for you to tell us your opinion. We collect all the comments we get this way and make a ``feedback page'' out of it. The current version contains 290 comments. Thanks a lot to all that told us their opinion! Note that we present you the logos in an early state of development. Most of them need further improvement and that's why we ask you about your opinion. Thanks a lot to all who submitted a logo so far! Our plans are to have an official logo for the next Debian release. Some people contacted me about troubles with the CGI script. I hope that these are fixed now and that the new location works more reliable than the old one. If you think you can make a better logo or have a nice idea feel free to send me your drafts.

Win/PC: IP 192.168.42.2, mask 255.255.255.0, Broadcast 192.168.42.0, no DNS, use LMHOSTS lookup, no Gateway.

Re: Kernel Versions
Not too much breaks from 2.0.0 to 2.0.27. If you do so and then you later experience difficulties with the /proc filesystem or any of the process utilities like top or ps, that would be the most likely cause. Note the Debian kernel packaging system is much different, though -- if you want to actually generate a debian kernel-image pacakage for distribution you'll have to upgrade your libc and so you might as well upgrade to Debian 1.2 in that case. -- Brian S.

Re:Continued Debian Boot Problems
At 23:37 -0600 on 12/20/96, Bruce Perens wrote: I don't think this is a boot floppy problem. Under Debian 1.2, the wd driver is in a module. You should be able to remove or reconfigure that wd module by booting your system with the rescue floppy, mounting your hard disk, and editing /etc/modules or /etc/conf.modules on the mounted hard disk. You can also boot directly from the hard disk by adding the emergency command to the boot command line. Since it says loading device 'eth0', I surmise that you are running kerneld and you have /etc/conf.modules aliasing eth0 to wd. If that's not the case I don't understand how you'd get that driver, unless you built your own kernel. Thanks Bruce Bruce, I didn't explain the situation very well and I asked the wrong question. Let me try again. I couldn't get the Debian 1.2 disks dated 96-12-8 to boot because the system would hang. Your suggestion to add the boot command linux cm206=0x350 solved the problem. Because I was having troubles and my request for help had not had enough time to generate an answer, I built a 1.2 system using a set of 1.1 boot disks. Everything went very well until I tried to boot the new system. First I had to specify the boot command linux cm206=0x350 or else the system would hang just like the 96-12-8 boot disks. Once I got past that point, the system now hangs with these messages: Loading device 'eth0' wd.c:v1.10 9/23/94 .. eth0: WD80x3 at 0x300 00 00 C0 A6 D2 24 WD8003, IRQ5, shared memory at 0xb800 0-0xb9fff It should be noted that this hardware configuration was working with a 1.1 system before I started over with 1.2. Hopefully, this explaination should clarify the situation. So, the questions are: 1. Why does the ethernet driver WD hang at boot under 1.2 when it was working under 1.1? 2. Is there some interaction between the boot command linux cm206=0x350 and the hanging of the ethernet driver? 3. How do I fix it?

DNS... :(
My DNS was working, except for a few weild error messages, so I set out to make new configurations for my DNS, by the way the DNS-HOWTO tells you to. After I did that, my DNS stopped working at all. And of course I don't have backups. :( For now, I've switched my network over to /etc/hosts, and use my ISP's DNS server. I wish to get my DNS back up and running asap. Could someone (privately) send me EVERYTHING in /var/named so that I can take a look at a working config, and see what I did wrong?

Re: Problems with Sendmail and X..
- install gpm. - Make sure that In your '/etc/gpm.conf' device=/dev/xxx (xxx is the device name of your mouse I believe psmouse) responsiveness= type=ps2 append='-R' - check out that gpm is running and you can see the mouse cursor on your Linux console (if not you have to work on your gpm config). you may start gpm by typing as root '/etc/init.d/gpm start' - make sure that '/dev/mouse' is a symbol link to '/dev/gpmdata' - change the Protocol and the Device type of your Pointer. the Section Pointer in '/etc/X11/XF86Config' should contains Protocol MouseSystems Device /dev/mouse I tried this but alas it didn't work.. there was no gpm.conf file located on my system and no gpmdata...Hmm .. I wonder why you don't have '/etc/gpm.conf' (some one else told me the same to) even though I have it on my Debian box :( I'm using gpm-1.10-2 right know, but the package was installed from long time, maybe the config. file's name has changed since. One way to know what config. file is used on yours, is to look into '/etc/init.d/gpm', the shell var 'cfg' in the first few lines contains the name of the config. file : -- # less /etc/init.d/gpm #!/bin/sh # # Start Mouse event server test -x /usr/sbin/gpm || exit 0 cfg=/etc/gpm.conf ^ cmdln= if [ -f $cfg ]; then . $cfg if [ -n $device ]; then cmdln=$cmdln -m $device; fi if [ -n $type ]; then cmdln=$cmdln -t $type; fi if [ -n $responsiveness ]; then cmdln=$cmdln -r $responsiveness; fi if [ -n $append ]; then cmdln=$cmdln $append; fi fi case $1 in start) echo Starting gpm $cmdln /usr/sbin/gpm $cmdln -- If for some reason you dont find 'cfg', go and edit '/usr/sbin/gpm $cmdln' line above, and put instead : /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/psmouse -t ps2 -R if '/dev/psmouse' is not the name of PS2 mices please change it to whatever it might be (sorry I don't have such mouse) for '/dev/gpmdata', it will be created once gpm will started with -R option. hope things will go more smooth for you by know :-) Matthew - Matthew Stone, 23 Roosevelt Drive, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada L4C6V1 Pager (416)339-9052 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Bug or feature?
If I understand correctly, as soon as I set the 'user' flag in /etc/fstab, any user can mount/unmount a partition. But - why can't I use 'mount -atnfs' when all nfs partitions have the user flag set (error message is 'mount: only root can do that')?

RE: Drivers for Iomega Zip Drive?
Chad, On my PC, this works magically. I've a PC with an Iomega ZIP drive attached to the parallel port, and for some time --believing the HOWTO re ZIP drives claiming only the SCSI version is supported, not the parallel port-- I made backup in a two stage manner (booted Linux, copied files and TAR sets to a DOS volume, booted DOS, and then copied them to the ZIP drive). However, I noticed that, when the ZIP drive was powered on and connected to the parellel port while booting Linux, I got messages on a SCSI device that the boot image apparently found (I do not have a SCSI adapter or any SCSI device on my PC). The messages were on a device /dev/sda4, and when a diskette was inserted in my ZIP drive, the messages during boot identified the non-exisiting SCSI device and an IOMEGA drive. I then decided to play stupid, and while Linux (Debian 1.1.4) was booted, I gave the command (under root): mount -t msdos /dev/sda4 /mnt The amber light of the drive flashed, and I got the UNIX prompt without any warnings. Subsequent commands like: ls /mnt copy /mnt/* . copy ~/*.c /mnt worked OK. Also, after booting DOS, I could simply read the *.c files on the ZIP drive that were copied there from Linux and vice versa! I suggest you try this as well. NB the ZIP drive HOWTO is rather out of date; I did send an email some time ago to the HOWTO's author, and got back a fairly arrogant answer which I trashed, but from the few lines in the multi-line answer that were to the point I could deduce that apparently the parallel port is a SCSI interface in disguise, hence the above trick to work. Hope this helps.
