Sound & Modem on one ISA Board?
A friend of mine would like to install Linux; he has a board by creative that has both sound and modem on it. Might linux have a problem with this - Is there any reason why it mightn't work properly with a single board for music & modem? (It's not one of the IBM DSP things). Or better yet, has anyone been able, or unable to get one of these to work? Thanks, Timothy. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Yes. You have a Matrox mystique 220; that's what's wrong. Although XFree86 3.3.1 can handle this, Debian 1.3(.x) ships with xfree86 3.3, which can't handle this card. Fortunately, however, all is not lost; I have this card and was using it long before I upgraded to hamm. You can see a post of mine about how I did it by pointing your browser to: http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-user-9712/msg00142.html When I talk about the "standard XFree86 3.3.1" in that message, I mean the Linux XFree86 3.3.1 binaries available from ftp.xfree86.org. When I ask you to do an all-debian install of Xfree86 3.3 in there I mean the fonts packages, xbase, xserver-vga (yes, xserver-vga - which, by the way, you can run on the Mystique 220 right now without downloading anything - you just can't get better than 640x480), and at least one window manager (fvwm2 or fvwm95 are good ones to start with). As a side note, my Mystique 220 showed odd behavior in text mode when I first got it (characters would begin to drop or add pixels after a while until the entire screen went black with white squares) until I ran a (DOS-based) utility (downloaded from the Matrox site) to kick the flash bios.

Wha That's a matter of opinion I suspect. There may not be agreement on the point between the maintainers of these packages. I don't see anything in the /bin/login man page which indicates that replacement will be made for '\?' sequences in /etc/issue. In fact, the man page doesn't mention /etc/issue at all. A quick look at /etc/login.defs indicates there *is* a variable to control whether or not /etc/issue is printed before the 'login:' prompt. Looking at the mgetty man page (I suspect you use mgetty and this is where you see this prompt) I see: -i Outputinstead of /etc/issue before prompting for the user name. The same token substi tutions as for the the login prompt are done in this file. My conclusion is that if any package is at fault, it would be mgetty for using special formatting on a file that is used by more that one package/program. As far as a fix goes, I believe mgetty should have its own issue file (perhaps /etc/mgetty/issue). You could easily do this since you can specify the issue file to mgetty while you can't to /bin/login. NOTE: take a look at 'strings /bin/login | sort -u | less'. There appear to be all sorts of things in there that aren't defined or discussed in the man page. Looks like we need a new man page. -- Jens B.

Kernel doesn't boot!!
Hello everybody! I wonder if anybody has experienced a similar problem: while trying to install the kernel onto a new machine, the kernel starts booting, it arrives to the following: > checking hlt instruction: ok > ... Then the machine is suddenly reset and the familiar BIOS screen is shown again!! The system is a new Pentium Motherboard: BIOS reports that is it a HX 512 KB cache system, also called Powerboard P586 TX ( ?? ) CPU is Intel Pentium MMX 233 The motherboard supports Bios mastering for IDE devices and has 2 serial port which can be configured as standard COM or USB Serial Bus port. I have tried EVERYTHING: starting with bare configuration, disabling caching, using the safer possible configuration. I have tried to disable hard disk and boot using only floppy disk (boot + root). I have tried different kernels, from Slackware, Debian and RedHat. I have tried also the new 2.31.0 kernel. The really strange thing is Win95 (OSR 2) boots without any problem and withu t using any non-standard configuration. Is it possible that Linux cannot do what Win95 does ? I won't believe it, but I actually need to change motherboard to have a fully working system. (The other devices should not be involved in the problem, perhaps only serial ports can do some mess, but I think this is very unprobable) Is anybody who knows something about this motherboard model... I can try to dig other info, but it is very difficult since Linux suddenly reset the system and it is very difficult to read what is displaying. Is it possible to redirect kernel output at boot on a serial line, and if so, is it possible to read it easily, for example using another Linux box ? Thanks everybody!

Please reply to me aswell as I'm currently not on this list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I have the cgiwrap running greatly. It was fun getting it to work for the chroot environment part of my server uses aswell as the permissions. I still have a few questions and interested in what others think.

I noticed that there was someway to do it with the handlers in apaches conf files but I just got errors. I was also thinking of running cgi's not from the aliased cgi-bin through apache (www-data) but from a virtual host under a new user/group cgi (cgi.domain.net). This would be where system cgi's (forms/system wide counter) would run from). The reason would be so the server doesn't have to be exposed as much by running cgi's itself. Has anyone set this up?

If, by this, [EMAIL PROTECTED] means running linux with a filesystem rooted in C:\LINUX under UMSDOS, then AFAIK this is easily installable with Slackware but not Debian. (I've done the former, but wouldn't know where to start the latter.) Mounting UMSDOS partitions is as easy as most things are in Debian; just compile support into the kernel and install the package. So, to answer the original question (I know Linux can be installed on top of a dos partition. Can it be installed on top of Win 95 or NT.), I've not heard of an equivalent to UMSDOS for non-FAT16 filesystem, and that's what's critical. So a qualified yes to W95.

I'm afraid you might have to hand-install some parts of perl again (with dpkg -i perl*.deb) Specifically, reinstall the main perl .deb and libnet and possibly dpkg-ftp. If that still doesn't work, try removing the /usr/lib/perl5/IO/Handle.pm file (move it temporarily away to another place where it is not in perl's include path.) I remember that recently there were similar problems with the upgrade to the pre-2.0 (unstable) distribution. It's not really the same situation as with 1.3.1 debian, but it might work for you too. If it doesn't work, feel free to complain rather loudly on this list. Perl is an important package that should not be broken.

Pentium compiler
Dear experts, I'd really like to switch from gcc to pgcc from the Pentium Compiler Group. (I used their pre-compiled gzip and it's really better than the 'standard one'...) As I have no experience with libraries and there seems to be no Debian package around for pgcc (please give me a hint if I'm wrong here!) I've two questions: 1) What is the best way to install the precompiled binaries packed in a gzipped tar file. 2) Can I break anything by installing this Pentium-gcc-version that can't be undone by reinstalling the Debian gcc package? Of course I'd prefer to install a Debian package. If there's none yet is it intended to build one soon? Thanx a lot for your help and advise!

SNMP agent w/Multible Interfaces?
Greetings, I have a situation where I would like to SNMP monitor the IPX traffic on several floors of an office complex. Each floor has it's own collision domain. I could put a DEBIAN PC on each floor and run the systems SNMP agent, which should give me the information I will be looking for. However I was wondering if the SNMP agent that I can use with DEBIAN is capable of monitoring more than one interface in a single machine. It would be MUCH easier to have one DEBIAN box connected to all four domains and have a single SNMP agent report on each interface. Any help, suggestions or comments are welcome in this matter.

If you remove the diskette and re-boot, you can enter passwd and your desired root password twice to get your desired root password re-instated, then do "shutdown -g0 -i6 -y" to reboot and order may be restored. If not, edit /etc/inittab, check your default run-level, and set it to 3 or 4 and re-boot again. If that doesn't work out, post your /etc/inittab, the outputs of ls /etc/init.d, ls /etc/rc1.d, ls /etc/rc2.d, ls /etc/rc3.d, and if you set default run-level to 4, ls /etc/rc4.d and we'll proceed. > > When I do "/usr/sbin/pppd" I get "/etc/ppp/ppp-connect ;permission denied" > in /etc/ppp/connect-errors!.

Hi debian-users, I have some problem after I by a mistake downgraded ldso 1.9.x-->1.8.x The hole system breaked and I was forced to do a new installation with the rescue-floppy. I leaved the old filesystem unchanged and installed the base-system and made a boot-floppy. Then after reboot, when I was prompted for a "root-password", it did not seem to work. I was not passed to the system, I was just prompted for a password so I had to reboot by "ctrl+alt+del". Now I am "autologged-in" as root!!? And since then I´ve bin automaticly logged-in as "root"! When I do "/usr/sbin/pppd" I get "/etc/ppp/ppp-connect ;permission denied" in /etc/ppp/connect-errors!. I have set ppp-connect to chmod 600 and chown root.root.

Over the past year or so, all packages should have been recompiled for libc6 and these are what you will find in hamm. A code freeze has just been pre-announced for late March, so we're nearly there. Once Debian 2.0 is released, the easiest way to upgrade will be to buy a new CD, unless you're on a really fast Internet link. Changing means going through a carefully defined process to install versions of libc5 packages that can co-exist with libc6 and then installing libc6 and then the rest of the packages. (See the instructions in http://www.debian.org/doc/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO.html and follow them exactly.

Help netatalk
I know this is getting a fair way off the topic, but I am looking for help with linux support for apples. Basically I am trying to find a way for our apples computers to print via our server. At the moment we are using papd (part of the netatalk package), but this does not pass the name of the user to lpd (instead it uses the username "operator"). This is no good for us, as we are trying to do accounting based on printer usage. Does anyone know of another system by which we can obtain the appropriate username?

RE: Linux on top of win95
If you have NT, you can use a utility such as "bootpart" to add a line to the boot.ini which lets you boot to linux from the NT boot loader.

hmm I meant [server] :)
Yes, smbclient [server]\\[service] :) works fine and [server] is the
win95 machine, in this case it is "neb's pc" (dont ask me why.. its a
friends PC)
so:
$ smbclient "neb's pc\\c"
works fine...
I understand that with smbmount you have to use //[server]/[service] , and
that [server] is the server's hostname (in this case "neb"), not it's
netbios name ("neb's pc").
Oh, if I dont use -n with smbmount, I get a "Password:" prompt. I guess
that means it has connected fine?
