Hello all,

 1.0pre5 was released on 3/11, after the 1.3 codefreeze.  The
Debian rule seems to be no new code, except bugfixes, after the code
freeze.  1.0pre5 does fix some very minor misfeatures, but still has
bugs with shading.  It also adds significant new code, including the
Animate module and locking patch.  On the whole, it didn't seem worth
breaking the "no new code" rule over.

Anyway, I plan to fix the one outstanding bug on the 1.0pre4 package
today or tomorrow, and then package up 1.0pre5 to placed in the new
unstable distribution.

Thanks for the nudge. :-)

How many different floppies did you try?  The other day I had to make a new

Hey, that's a cool idea.  Someone want to go package it?  If not, I'll

I use an editor to search the packages file found in /var/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/.

On an i-86 platform it is provided by ldso, which is in the base section.  
Someone else would probably
provide a better answer in regard to the other platforms.

There are security problems with lpr and it doesn't seem to detect
local users properly. The fix is to upgrade to lprng (which is in the
unstable tree, but I have had no problems---in fact it's a lot nicer
than plain vanilla lpr & co.).

Network Configuration

[Jordi Inglada]

Hello,

last week, I had a problem with my ethernet card not being detected by
the modconf program so I asked this list. I got lots of answers and
finally my card is detected. 

The problem now is that I can't make it work. I mean, I can't do ftp,
telnet, etc... When I try some of these, I wait and wait,... If I use
nfs as the access method to the distribution, I got the message "server
 seems to be down or inexistent".

I have configured the network, I have installed the drivers (my card is
a DIGITAL depca), the card is found when rebooting at the correct
address and interruption...

Could somebody give me a hint about what's happenning? Maybe there's
something I forgot to do. I'm a beginner in LINUX, so I would apreciate
being told what to do step by step.

Thanks.

Newbie question

[jr_martinez]

  I am new with Linux and I don't know very well what to do in this
  situation:

  - A few months ago I buy a CD with Debian 1.1 distribution included.
  After that, I download Debian 1.2 from www.debian.org.
  I week ago I installed Debian 1.2 but I didn't run dSelect program, in
  that moment. Last night I run dSelect program in order to install
  several packages. When I finished the system was in Debian 1.1. After
  that I reinstall, using floppy disks, Debian 1.2 again. I am not
  very sure what I have rigth know.

  Could any Linux expert advise me how to know what I have in this moment?.
  Is the process I did OK?.

wish4.2 - the disappearing file

[Douglas Bates]

I recently installed the tk42 and tcl76 packages then went to
recompile my kernel.  On using
 make xconfig
I discovered that tk didn't seem to be working.  Trying to check
further on this has produced some mystifying behaviour.
 $ ls -l /usr/bin/wish4.2
 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root root 5780 Mar  3 21:41 /usr/bin/wish4.2
 $ file /usr/bin/wish4.2
 /usr/bin/wish4.2: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 386, version 1, stripped
 $ /usr/bin/wish4.2 /usr/doc/tk42/examples/hello
 bash: /usr/bin/wish4.2: No such file or directory

I even checked with strace and the first call to execev with the
argument of /usr/bin/wish4.2 fails.  That message of "No such file or
directory" can appear in mystifying ways for shell scripts but I have
never seen a case like this before.  One is reduced to shouting at the
screen, "It's there, I tell you.  It's really there!".

The reason I was recompiling the kernel is to adjust the IRQ's used by
my sound card.  I fell back on a plain
 make config
but even that failed.  When I indicated that I had an Ensoniq sound
card it prompted later for the base address (SSCAPE_BASE) with the
default of 330.  No matter what I respond at that point it just
returns a message that there is no help available for that variable.
Does "make config" have difficulty with the "hex" type of variable?

Suggestions welcomed.

Re: wish4.2 - the disappearing file

[Jean Pierre LeJacq]

I'm not sure if this has been reported as a bug yet.

wish4.2 has been linked against /lib/ld-linux.so.2 which
hasn't been released yet as a debian package.  You can see
this by using "strings" on the wish4.2 executable.

A quick solution, that so far is working for me, is to
create a symbolic link to the version of /lib/ld-linux.so.?
that you do have installed. 

I'll check and submit a bug report if it hasn't already been
submitted.

ld-linux.so.2 is the dynamic linker for glibc which is available

Diald setup problem - Please help

[Ramasubramanian Ramesh]

Hi all:

  I have the following problem which makes diald difficult to use. I have a
straight forward installation of debian with options (diald,ppp) file adjusted
to reflect my setup. Whenever I fire a network needy application (like telnet,
ftp) diald immediately wakes up and sets up the connection. However the
utility that woke up diald simply hangs. Furthermore, any other session started
soon after a connection is established goes through. Let me explain this with
a little example

command: telnet 
actions: (1) telnet fires up resolves host addresses and tries to connect
 (2) diald wakesup and makes connection
 (3) connection is setup but telnet still hanging

Suppose I start another telnet at this time to same address the second one
will go though while the first one is still hanging. Furthermore, if diald
disconnect phone line due to inactivity then all running tools will hang even
if diald wakes up and reestablishes the connection immediately. I suspect some
routing problem but cannot figure out how to fix it.

Here is some config info.

  for diald
mode ppp
fifo 
accounting-log 
baud 57600
modem
crtscts
defaultroute
connect "chat -f chatscript"
local 127.0.0.3
remote 
dynamic

device is ttyS1 (not cua1)

The options file of pppd is empty

kernel 2.0.x with slip, cslip and ppp

Please help. If I can help you with any debug output please let me know. I can
produce what you want and ship it to you. (I had asked this question to Eric,
the author of diald, but so far I have not received any response. Then again,
the problem started only after I switched from a very old slackware to debian
1.2 recently)

Thanks
Ramesh

DHCP

[Mike Smith]

I've set up the dhcpd debian package (0.5.13-4) with only Win95 machines
using it at present.  For some reason this is causing a problem with the
local DNS mapping.  One day everything works like it should, the next
day the DHCP clients won't see local machines except by IP address.
There is no consistency to the problem...it's been working fine the last
5 days, but didn't work the 3 days before that.  There is never (barring
other network problems :) any trouble with outside sites finding our
machines or ours finding outside machines.

I'm at a loss as to what could be causing this.  Any ideas?  The
DNS stuff worked just fine before I changed the Win95 boxes and still
works fine on non DHCP clients.

Thanks,
Mike

Add line:
XkbDisable
to section Keyboard in file /etc/X11/XF86Config. This will disable Xkb

Ouch! Depca card, eh? A couple of things to check:

It's not enough for the card to be detected. It's also rather important 
that any probing for other hardware doesn't interfere with the depca 
card. So you probably won't get it to work with an installation kernel 
which probes for everything everywhere.

The depca driver may also not work if you compile it as a module, so 
when you compile your kernel, select it as built-in.

I hope that helps. Me, I'm replacing my depca cards with 3c509 ones. 
Depcas worked with pathworks and with netbeui (just about), but they 
freeze up with PC-NFS after a couple of minutes so I'm calling it a day
(as is the Open University).

First, try the command ifconfig

You should see something like:# ifconfig
loLink encap:Local Loopback  
  inet addr:127.0.0.1  Bcast:127.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0

  RX packets:164771 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
  TX packets:184328 errors:13 dropped:0 overruns:0
  Interrupt:11 Base address:0xef80 

# 

If you don't see lo and eth0, have a look at the boot scripts in /etc/init.d
(which are linked to /etc/rc[2345].d)

If ifconfig shows these, try doing commands to localhost (which uses
the loopback interface - that is, the machine talks to itself as if it
were another machine); for example, ftp localhost, ping localhost.

If that works, try pinging other machines on your network, using their
IP numbers; next try their names.  > Hello,

Next look at how names are resolved - that is, translated to IP addresses.
Does your system use DNS or /etc/hosts; are these set up right?  If you
send a query to a nameserver, the program will wait at least 2 minutes before
giving up.

And so on...

Zyxel

[Jason Killen]

Has anyone used Zyxel(?) it is in the unstable directory and looks a lot like
mgetty (v,and the fax stuff).  Has anyone used vgetty and had it work 
*with out problems*.  I asked earlier about using my linux box as an aswering
machine and got tons of messages telling me to use vgetty and now that I've
read some of the docs I am not sure about which modem to buy.

BTW : I still havent solved my problem with not being able to telnet into my 
box, I think I'm going to do a total reinstall of the stable tree, I'm at 1.2 
now.

XTerm with Colors ???

[Christian Groeling]

Hi Debians,

how can I switch on the colors in a XTerm under the 
Debian 1.2.4 release?

Thanks for coming help!

Re: Zyxel

[Stoyan Kenderov]

Hi Jason,

I ran my Linux box for about two years now with an old Zyxel 1496E as an
answering machine under different versions of vgetty. I can tell you, it 
works like a charm! No problems, no surprises!

regards,
  Stoyan

which package in bo provides /etc/shells?

[Joey Hess]

I recently trashed my /etc/shells (I think it was my fault, not the fault of
dpkg). According to bo's Contents file:

etc/shells   passwd

However, I passwd-961025-1 does not include a /etc/shells file.

Add:
*customization: -color
to the system-wide /etc/X11/Xresources, or to your .Xresources

Try doubling or tripling the nameserver line in /etc/resolv.conf.
This problem happens with dynamic IP addresses.

md autostart?

[Pete Templin]

Hi there,

I just put the md package to use, and I have some semi-important
questions...

1) Do I need to do anything to ensure that my /dev/md0 has been started if
I expect to use it in /etc/fstab?  If so, where do I put that?  My kernel
has md compiled in (not a module).

2) Can I also assume that it'll get unmounted cleanly and properly?

Thanks for your help,

Pete

I made it by puting a script into /etc/rc.boot, but I agree mdutils 
should supply it. (or at least some sort of template)

Re: sendmail on two hosts for one domain

[Paul Wade]

Perhaps more specific information is needed. If you have machines
a.foo.com and b.foo.com, the nameserver for foo.com would normally sort it
out for you. Chances are that doesn't answer your question and you are
trying to do more than that.

Yes, the diald documentation clearly explains why this occurs;

This is the cause. Because diald does not know the address 
(at this end) for the connection, you have to use a dummy one,
and so your first connection will never succeed. Likewise
connections can't be re-established if your address changes.


My family of non-computer-literate people use the internet
through a Linux box of mine running diald & IP masquerading.
To start the link, to avoid this problem, I have a CGI
script running from the web server (apache) which uses
diald's fifo option to bring the link up. I have diald set
never to bring the link up on particular traffic, only
by explicit request. And drop the link after 20 minutes idle.
