Re: Bash 2.00 error in xterm
I use startx to launch my xserver. A default xterm comes up with no

the following error:

broke? Where should I put the matching `'' to get the same functionality

Well, I seriously doubt if this worked under bash 1.14: you're messing
up the quotes. Eighter you want:
PS1=\u\'@'\h\n\w
or you want

(I guess the latter). What you've got now is simply a unfished string.
Question 2: Why doesn't the error occur in the default xterm. After all
that isn't a login shell...is it?

~/.bash_rc.

Debian woes
Please pardon the rant, but I gotta let this out. Where the heck can I get a CD with a WORKING debian distribution on it? I've tried LDR, LSL's Trilinux, and stuff I've FTP'd. I've yet to get 1.3 to work. Since I intended to format the drive Linux lived on anyway, I thought I'd see what the different distributions looked like. Sorry to say, slakware and redhat installed just fine, debian demonstrated the epitome of bagbiter. It looked like it might work, but it crapped out big-time when it cam time to install X. In fact, errors to the degree that there were missing links, and xf86config couldn't run. I've used debian before, and it worked great! I like it! Is there something I've done wrong?

How to get X installed properly ( was: Debian woes )
On Sun, 15 Jun 1997, Tim O'Brien wrote: Please pardon the rant, but I gotta let this out. It looked like it might work, but it crapped out big-time when it cam time to install X. In fact, errors to the degree that there were missing links, and xf86config couldn't run. This is a pain indeed. You can get it to install correctly though, if you install the packages in the right order. After trying it a couple of times I found that the following procedure in dselect should get everything installed correctly: - first time you run dselect, don't select any more packages than are already selected. run install and go back to select to select more. - only select xbase and run install again, then return to select. - if you want to use the XF86Setup program (recommended): - select xfnt75 and run install on it, return to select and - select xserver-vga16 and the server you need for your card and run install. Here, you'll be asked some questions after each of the servers are unpacked. Say no to using the xserver-vga16 (unless you actually need it) and say yes to using the server that fits you videocard. Say yes to running XF86Setup. otherwise, only install your xserver and manually run xf86config later. If you get XF86Setup running without error notices, you should have no more hassles installing lots of other X packages. If you already installed X and did not carefully follow the above steps, try running dpkg -i on xbase, xfnt75, xserver-vga16 and xserver-your chipset from the prompt. This will force a reinstallation and reconfiguration of possibly broken packages. One more quirk, with xdm (if you chose to run it on your display): When you chose to install shadow support, xbase did not take notice of that and forgot to replace xdm with xdm-shadow. running shadowconfig on should fix this. If you've already found yourself at a xdm login widget and cannot login, just switch to the console with ctrl-alt-f1 and log in as root. type: /etc/init.d/xdm stop shadowconfig on /etc/init.d/xdm start This should fix xdm permanently. In 1.3.1 this will not happen anymore because xbase is fixed (at least with respect to xdm and shadow, I don't now about the dependencies issue.) I've used debian before, and it worked great! I like it! Is there something I've done wrong? All I did was a new install... Most problems with x seem to be related to the fact that so many x packages depend on the existance of configuration files, that are only in place until after xbase has been unpacked and configured. These problems don't surface when doing an upgrade because then the necessary configuration files are already in place. I don't know if this is a bug in the packages information or a shortcoming of dselect. I did notice other problems, which are clearly caused by dselect imperfections: You might have noticed that dselect iterates through the stable, contrib, non-free and local trees in that order. It only iterates each next tree if the last one ended without an error. Thus, if a package in stable has a problem, then none of the packages in the other trees gets installed. This gives a catch-22 if the package in stable did not install because it depends on the presence of a package in, say contrib. Of course, the latter one never gets installed because dselect bails out because the package that depends on it gives an error. An example: you select pinepgp, then dselect indicates that it notices dependencies on pine, pico and pgp. So you select all of those and want to continue with the installation. Now, notice that pinepgp is in contrib, pine and pico are in non-free and pgp is in non-us (which I mirror as local.) See what happens? The only way out is to select pinepgp for removal, install pine, pico and pgp and then reselect pinepgp. Only rerunning install does not solve the problem. Other example: gv or ghostview (stable) and gs-aladdin (non-free). Generally, don't select too many packages at once for installation, just be patient and sit through dselect cycling all those packages (there are only 1000 of them after all ;-) .) But lighten up, almost all the other stuff installs just fine. Good luck with your installation (and have some fun too), Joost -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

PCMCIA Cards
I just purshased a Toshiba 430CDS Laptop that I plan to run Debian on. I have been running Debian on a desktop for about a year now, so I'm comfortable with it. My question has to do with the PCMCIA cards that are available now. I will need to run a modem and an ethernet card at the same time, and I was worried about cable interference and thinking of the future (the machine only has two slots). I figured the the 3com (3c562D) modem/ethernet combo card would do the trick, but a quick look through the Hardware and PCMCIA How-to's revealed that interrupts could be a problem. Should I get separate cards, or a combo? Price isn't a huge issue here, reliability is much more important. Thanks for the help. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

In fact, errors to the degree that there were missing links, and xf86config couldn't run. I've used debian before, and it worked great! I like it! Is there something I've done wrong? All I did was a new install... I can offer several suggestions... I did about 5 installs from scratch during pre-release testing with varying degrees of smoothness. However, I was always able to complete the installation. Here is what I have found: 1. Depending on which packages are chosen, the order of installation will be different, resulting in different degrees of success satisfying dpendencies. When the X installation is attempted along with the standard installation the order of installation causes dependency failures. The most important of which is that, because of missing libraries, the configuration programs will not execute successfully. There are two solutions to this: A. After a failed intallation pass with dselect, make a configure pass followed by another installation pass. Repeat until all packages successfully install. B. Install the standard packages in one run, and the X packages only after the standard installation is complete. The second method (B) provides a smoother installation path and is the recommended path. Method A is the proven method for dealing with dependency ordering problems in dselect. At times the error messages look un-recoverable, but succeeding passes will eventually resolve the problems and allow complete installation. Simply have faith and keep plugging.

X install under 1.2
Greetings, This is my first post to this list. I have looked through some of the archives and ran a search against the archives but have not found anything to help me with this problem. I have installed 1.2 on a 486-66 with a Diamond Speedstar Pro. I followed the recent recommendations and installed in order: xbase, xfnt75,xserver-vga16,xserver-svga. XF86Setup generated a missing font error so I installed xfntbase and xfntscl. The config seems to work fine but startx generates an error 'no screens found _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111'. A previous attempt using xdm generated a flashing screen problem which I could only cure by rm /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config. I have also installed xlib6. Any ideas what package I may be missing or other config error? Cheers, Jim -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Debian woes
Please pardon the rant, but I gotta let this out. You are pardoned. Where the heck can I get a CD with a WORKING debian distribution on it? I've tried LDR, LSL's Trilinux, and stuff I've FTP'd. I've yet to get 1.3 to work. Dunno; I did my installation with the base1_3.tgz file and LOADLIN from a DOS partition. After that I used dpkg-ftp to install other packages. Since I intended to format the drive Linux lived on anyway, I thought I'd see what the different distributions looked like. Sorry to say, slakware and redhat installed just fine, debian demonstrated the epitome of bagbiter. It looked like it might work, but it crapped out big-time when it cam time to install X. In fact, errors to the degree that there were missing links, and xf86config couldn't run. I've used debian before, and it worked great! I like it! Is there something I've done wrong? All I did was a new install...

Instead you should install LILO on the root partition of your hard disk (the /dev/sdb7 partition should be made bootable, however). Then you need to configure Boot Manager to add Linux to the menu (pointing to /dev/sdb7) and configure /etc/lilo.conf appropriately to point to where LILO and the kernel, etc., are located (see the appropriate HOWTO for LILO).

Re: X install under 1.2
Jim, Did I read your post right? Did you rm XF86Config!!! XF86Config is the configuration file for the X system. It contains all the information about your graphics card, screen, mouse, and other important information that your X client needs to run. The flashing screen problem is most likely a problem with the screen and/or graphics card setup. You need to produce a XF86Config file for your particular hardware setup. You can either read the documentation on the XF86Config and edit the sample (that you deleted), or you can use the xf86config program to produce a config file that should work if you know what hardware you have. However, the config files produced by xf86config are minimal to get X running, you can squeeze much more performance out of even modest hardware with a little reading and hacking (I have 768x562 from a 10 year old VGA monitor that I found at a garage sale for $10). Look in the /usr/X11/lib/X11/doc directory for some good documentation and good luck!!!

Re: Debian woes
It might perhaps help if you explained where exactly the problems were, how you tried to install, what didn't work, etc. Your problem is rather vauge as it stands. I agree. One thing that has gotten me into trouble when attempting to install Debian is selecting too many things at the initial dselect screen. My current method is to go over the default dselect screen in remove-only mode where I am looking for things I do NOT need, remove them, and install these default items first. Then I re-run dselect to get the other things I need. Again, I will sometimes do this in sections. net, devel, etc. usually saving X for the last run. Then finally I go back and put everything on hold = so that it does not try to upgrade something that I have forgotten about when I run dselect again in the future.

slow as molasses
I just installed debian on another machine, and it's slow as molasses. It's an apex 486/33, with a 400mb on / and 514 on sr, with 20mb of ram. For example, when launching dselect and asking to choose packages, it takes a couple of minutes until it gets there. It is a few seconds on a similar machine with 8M and 2 80M drives. After downloading files, it takes minutes on most of htem while checking them. WHen deleting, it's 20-30 seconds each. And top takes about 20% of cpu time (or is that still broken, but it all seems to add up about right). man also takes forever. the only suspicions i have so far: 1) almost all 20m of memory is used. is this normal? [with just dsel going] 2) the interleave on the drives. The bios says it's 3. These are 63 65 sector drives; is this normal? 3) there is a scsi controller, though, so far, i've failed to configure it to read the cd. rick -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

cd /usr/local/lib/netscape ln -s /path/to/nescape/files/*.jar . That fixed the error messages. Hope this works for you, Dennis Nope, still get the encryption error, but thanks for the effort. -- Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Yep. Netscape seems to want policyMoz40P1.jar under ~/.netscape.
I wrote a small wrapper script to do it and I install it in
/usr/X11R6/bin/netscape instead of the symlink. It assumes that the libfiles
for netscape are under /usr/lib/netscape and that the policyMoz40P1.jar is
there too.
#!/bin/bash
if [ ! -d ~/.netscape ]
then
mkdir ~/.netscape
fi
if [ ! -f ~/.netscape/policyMoz40P1.jar ]
then
cp /usr/lib/netscape/policyMoz40P1.jar ~/.netscape
fi
exec /usr/lib/netscape/netscape ${1+$@}

Cleaning Debian Filesystem...
Has anyone come up with a decent way to audit a filesystem... so the admin can wipe out tons of stuff that is only partially installed or not removed completely, etc. ? I know when I remove some debian packages usuing dselect, it usually throws tons of messages like can't remove /blah/bing/bang/ which scroll by too fast. In the end, it seems like I have crap just sitting around everywhere.

You might set the modem to report the link data rate rather than the serial port rate then tail /var/log/messages and grep for CONNECT after login. Another way to do this is to use the REPORT option in your chatscript: REPORT CONNECT ABORTBUSY ABORTNO CARRIER etc... Then have pppd invokes chat with the -r option + filename (e.g., in /etc/ppp/peers/provider for ppp 2.3b3-2): connect /usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/uw -r /var/log/ppp-speed-uw.log defaultroute /dev/ttyS1 38400 user mso noauth noproxyarp (all on one line of course).
