X -- xinit dies but the server alone will run?
Ok.. this problem seems kinda strange to me, maybe one of you guys can explain it. I'm running (well -- trying) Accelerated X laptop edition. Those of you who know about X, please don't stop reading there -- I don't think the problem is AccelX specific. When I try to run startx, X begins to start, the server starts loading and I see the startup screen, and then it dies as if it'd been shut down. No error messages are created (see bottom of mail for log). I narrowed the problem down to what seems to be xinit -- when I do xinit (which startx does) on its own, the same thing happens. The strange part comes in in that when I run the server on its own (X :0) and then do DISPLAY="localhost:0.0";afterstep& it works (albeit not completely). Looking at xinit's man page, it appears to me that xinit is essentially doing the same thing I can do manually. This problem starts when I upgraded to hamm. I upgraded all of the X packages and then reinstalled AccelX just to make sure -- still the same problem. Computer specifics: This is a Dell LM166mmx with a Neomagic 128xv+ card. 2.0.33 kernel on hamm. Idiots at XIG won't give me support until hamm is an official release.

SCSI Adaptec AHA 1520B/1522B ISA (iomega jaz jet) Trouble.
Hi, at the bottom is my var/adm/messages file. The problem is this: When i boot to get the adapter recognized i have to append aha152x=0x340,11,7,1. The card is recognized and also the jaz drive. But no partition is reported and a "scsi: detected total." is displayed. /proc reports both the adapter and the jaz drive but when i try to access the jaz disk (/dev/sda) or partition (/dev/sda4) i get a "coud not open device /dev/sda" or something like that.

Can I (and should I?) stop it doing this? This will happen if the network you are on is running low on ip addresses. Basically when you shutdown, I believe the server knows. Then, it will try to give out IP's that haven't been used before to new users or users who's ip was taken. Then it falls back to giving out any ip address that is free. When you boot up, you ask for the ip, and if it's available, you should get it. I'd suggest contacting the network admin (or service provider) and ask if they have enough ip's that you should have a stable ip address.

ipx_configure: socket: Invalid argument ?
Hi I'm trying out Debian 1.3.1 because I've recently moved from Yggdrasil to RedHat 4.2, and wasn't completely happy with RH. Overall, the installation went well, though the dselect user interface seems almost absurd, it's so bad. (How does one find out about Deity, and the plans for it?) I'm slowly trying to learn about network administration in my home :-), with my old 486 and my new 586 and ethernet. I've installed Debian on the 486. I now have an NE2000 card configured correctly, detected during boot up, and the ne kernel module installed. But, after booting, dmesg reports a couple of these errors: ipx_configure: socket: Invalid argument which is also what I get if I later run ipx_configure manually. These errors I think explain why pinging the machine itself results in the error: `Network is unreachable'. (I assume it's because these errors stop /etc/init.d/network from being run.) If I run "/etc/init.d/network start" manually, this problem goes away. (* See below) (I must say, this Debian idea is one of several good ideas.) But, the socket problem remains. I'm a bit lost about what to do next. A couple of oddities: if I run modprobe -c the output seems to have 2 contradictions: 1) alias eth0 ne.o io=0x280 irq=11 ... alias eth0 off which I read as saying ethernet is on and off; and 2) alias net-fp-5 off alias net-fp-4 off alias net-fp-3 off alias net-fp-3 off alias net-fp-4 ipx alias net-fp-5 appletalk alias net-fp-5 off Anyway, having fought my way past dselect (a worse UI is hard to imagine), I expect it's quite possible something got screwed up. Any suggestions? Maybe I should scrub the disc and re-install, having a new attempt at the $#@&*^! deselect command. A local Debian user (Terry Dawson) suggested that it might be because the sysvinit or netbase packages weren't installed.

Installation writing to Hard Drive error
( This was originally a bug report. I'm forwarding it to debian-user. )
Package: Debian Installation
Version: 1.3
When I try to install Debian GNU/Linux to my machine, every time Debian
tries to write to my hard drive, I get an error. For example, when I am
following the installation program, and I try to partition a hard disk,
before I even get into the cfdisk program (after selecting which drive to
partition), I get the following error:
hda: read_intr: status=0X59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest
Error }
error=0X10 { SectorIdNotFound } CHS
0/0/53 , sector 52
And then after repeating that same message about six or seven times, it
says this:
ide0: reset: success
and then I get the first error six or seven more times, and then the
partitioning program launches. Now, I can continue with the installation
(partition my disk, etc), but whenever it tried to load files from the
floppies to my hard drive, it gives me that first error again. I even
got so far as to loading the fifth base disk, but then I get a "kernel
panic" message and it completely shut down. Is this a program error or
something wrong with my machine? I'm running a Compaq Deskpro 486/25 22
megs RAM and a 650 meg hard drive. I can run DOS 6.2 and Windows and any
other DOS-supported program fine and I've never experienced a similar
error before.

X-Windows Question
I'm pretty embarassed to be asking this question, since I'm sure there's a simple resolution. But, here goes: I have recently tried to follow a better security model, by creating a user account for myself on my Linux box, instead of doing everything as root. In doing so, I have somehow managed to change a setting somewhere such that I can no longer get X to boot from my user account. I can start an X-windows session as root, no problem.

According to the source this message means, that one of the SCSI devices tells the host adapter: "I have data for you" but the host adapter didn't expect such a message as all of its own queues are empty. How often does this message occur? Only at startup or sometimes while working with the system?

This second warning shows up whenever I start emacs. Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged My other problem is with the 'history' command.

Problems with gs-aladdin_5.10-3
Hi! I've tried to install the recompiled version of gs-aladdin_5.10-3. I've downloaded the necessary files (gs-aladdin_5.10-3.diff.gz, gs-aladdin_5.10.orig.tar.gz, gs-aladdin_5.10-3.dsc) from ftp.de.debian.org, but when i ran the dpkg-source -x gs-aladdin_5.10-3.dsc I received the error message: dpkg-source: error: diff patches file (gs-aladdin-5.10.orig/contrib/hpdj-2.3/NEWS) whose directory does not appear in tarfile I ve tried to find the older version gs-aladdin_5.10-2, and I successfully installed the sources, but compilation failed because of lack of file: gdevln03.c How can I compile the gs-aladdin_5.10-3 (or 2) package?

Re: dhcpcd problems...
When you look at the log do you see that your dhcp client is requesting an IP address that it isn't being granted? It's probably trying to get its old IP and the server won't give it. I haven't read the RFC but I'll bet that releasing the lease on shutdown is compliant behavior. What would be the point of having a pool of IP addresses which could be handed out to any host if each client insisted on holding on to its address? In a lan environment this might (but not if people sometimes bring in laptops, etc.) be ok but for a situation like an ISP it would be impossible.

Re: kcore
Close (probably even closer than it 'sounded' to me)... /dev is a real directory and is 'normal' in every way. However, the files in /dev are usually rather special in the sense that I think you are referring. /proc OTOH is not really a 'real' directory. It exists in the kernel, gets mounted and naturally has much the same sort of data structures as do directories that actually are on disk. > I have heard it said that unix works entirely on files.

Re: bbs for debian?
Hamish; It seems to me that there are several good bbses that should work under Linux.

These latter might be a bit more difficult to compile except that I don't recall that any of them used anything other than a console interface for the control op.

removing user from group; vigr -s errors; group policies
I have recently installed Debian 1.3.1 on my computer.

If I modify the /etc/group file directly with vigr, do I have to modify the shadowed group file as well?

Setting up modutils (2.1.85-1) ... Starting kerneld, version 2.1.85 (pid 6944) IMPORTANT NOTES === 1) Support for request-route has been dropped from modutils. If you used this feature please switch to diald. 2) Debian GNU/Linux modutils now supports persistant module storage. Please read the readme /usr/doc/modutils/README.Debian.gz before using it though!
RE: Smail uucp file
The more I think about this the more I wonder exactly what you lost. The spool files of mail that are waiting to go to the uucp user are in /var/spool/uucp/ Smail keeps all of its configuration information in /etc/smail uucp keeps its configuration in /etc/uucp There are no files having to do with uucp and smail that are kept in /var/mail This is, if you are using Debian Linux.

Am I correct in assuming this ? This is a pretty good summary, although it varies depending on the Unix. Most Unixes don't do /proc like Linux does, if at all. OTOH, some Unixes actually have devices in /dev for the networking. /proc is more like an easy to use view of the internal structures in the kernel. /prox/sys is where most of what you can fiddle with in the /proc filesystem is. -- Carey Evans http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/ GNU GPL: "The Source will be with you... always." -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Linux on top of win95
>I believe that you really should have a swap partion This is not true. To begin with, you don't need swap space if you have enough memory. For linux, swap is just an extra bunch of (slow) memory that can be used if need be. If it is not there, and enough RAM is available, that is not a problem. Secondly, you can do with a swap file instead of partition. To use a swap file of 8 MB, you would do something like ( from the mkswap man page) # dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=8192 # mkswap swapfile 8192 # sync # swapon swapfile You can put an item like /swapfile noneswapsw 0 0 in /etc/fstab to activate the swap file every time the system boots (assuming swapfile is in / ). However it is true that a swap partition is definitively faster than a file. Eric Meijer -- E.L.

Yes. All kinds of things are presented as files, even though they aren't really. (Even `tasks': every live process has a directory under /proc which contains `files' with information about the running process.) Originally it was just devices like printers, disks, tapes and memory. With the /proc filesystem, you also have things like lists of interrupts and network parameters. All these things are presented as files, so that you can use routines like open() on them. -- Oliver Elphick[EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP key from public servers; key ID 32B8FAA1 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Good luck, and let me know if you find anything. I've never been able to find a BBS program for Linux that looks anything like any DOS BBS program I would run. They all assume you only wish to chat. Ugly solution: I'm running my RA 2.50/Bink 2.60/IMAIL 1.75/Squish 1.10 system under dosemu on Debian 1.3. With a fast enough processor (Cyrix P166+) it goes okay. Lost serial interrupts is a big problem; the dosemu serial code's author recommends BNU instead of X00 and that seems to help a lot. I also put my serial speed back to 38400, I used to use 57600. I just unplugged the hard drive from my DOS BBS machine and plugged it into my Linux box, mounted all the drives, set up dosemu to map them in as DOS drives and off it goes. Eventually I repartitioned it so that all the DOS BBS files actually live on an ext2fs partition, for speed & space saving reasons.

It seems the reported bug is that you can't print from 5.9-23. I just upgraded my lpr here to 5.9-23; the server is still running 5.9-20.2 (it's a bo machione). lpr still prints fine.
