Re: lpr wants /usr/spool???
it worked probably because there used to be a symlink from /usr/spool to /var/spool. this link has disappeared in the new base-files package (1.6), so you either create the symlink by hand (like i did) or edit the printcap file. --alex-- -- | I believe the moment is at hand when, by a paranoiac and active | | advance of the mind, it will be possible (simultaneously with | | automatism and other passive states) to systematize confusion | | and thus to help to discredit completely the world of reality. | -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Sure, if you've got a 15" monitor, and have never used a 132 column monitor. However, this argumant is pointless as it doesn't fulfill the purpose of the list - address the user's question.

If you don't use gpm, you could comment out the reset program in the stm config file ... or, even if you do use gpm you could try this. I'll try it out on my Compaq monday at work.

a problem with headers (Was: in search for Mr. Scheetz)
Hi, first of all I want to thank all those who helped me in my desperate search for Mr. Scheetz. Now here's the problem that made impossible for me to reach Mr. Scheetz directly I'm using elm+sendmail+popclient to send/receive my mail. On my outbound mail, I use elm to properly rewrite the header with my POPaccount address. It used to work, but Mr. Scheetz's ISP does (or at least this is what I have understood) some checks on mail headers to reject spam. My mail messages seems to originate from my machine, which is not permanently on internet and has no valid DNS name. Since this name doesn't resolve, my messages can't reach Mr. Scheetz directly since they're taken as spam (coming from a fake address). Once upon a time I used to masquerade (in sendmail) my local machine name with my ISP name. This was the only way known to me at that time to make the return address come out right. When I discovered (thanks to this list again) the elm header rewriting function, I stopped masquerading. I tried to revert to this solution, but it doesn't seems to work (take a look at my header) now. Now my questions are: 1. how can I make my messages reach Mr. Scheetz (and everybody who has spam address check)? 2. is there a way (preferably with sendmail, but I'm evaluating all suggestions) to masquerade only outbound messages (I have a small LAN and masquerading makes mail stop working on my LAN) I'm not attaching any config file (pollution-wise), but I'm ready to send whatever could help sort this out.

Hi.
I studied the code of both ftp and ncftp recently and found that while
there is a great deal of inspiration of ncftp from ftp, they are a bit
different in settings the socket options for both control and data
connection. But you can't change it. The other thing is that ncftp
uses passive mode by default while ftp sendport mode for data connection.
Try setting "passive" in ftp and see if it helps.

Hi.
While the following is all true, what you probably asked for is just that
most (if not all) X programs have "-geometry" option which allowes to
specify the initial size of the window. Like in the following
gv -geometry 200x300-0+0
will make gv open the window in the upper right corner with height 300
and width 200.

Re: xearth
To solve that problem, you need to tell the compiler where to find libXt.so. Edit your Makefile and find all instances of the string '-lXt'. Insert -L/usr/X11R6/lib, or whatever the appropriate path is to the directory containing libXt.so. However, instead of building this program from source, you should download the Debian package file containing the pre-compiled binary. It's available at ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/non-free/binary/xearth_1.0-12.deb Use 'dpkg -i xearth_1.0-12.deb' to install it once you've downloaded it. noah On Sat, 21 Feb 1998, Abou Anber wrote: > > Dear Sir: > I try to Install xearth, version 1.0 under Linux but I got an error > > message, which is"ld: cannot open -lXt No such file or directory" > " make: *** [xearth] error 1" > > I'll be appreciate if you can help me about solving this problem. > > Many thanks > Scincerly > Ahmed > > > > -- > TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] . > Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . > PGP public key available at http://lynx.dac.neu.edu/home/httpd/n/nmeyerha/mail.html or by 'finger -l [EMAIL PROTECTED]' -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

FTP Killing PPP Connection
Using Kernal: 2.0.32 I'm having some strange results when I use the default FTP software. It goes for a while and eventually kills my PPP connection. I don't make it to a meg of a download before the system redials. This also happens when remote users access ftpd and transfer files. But not as badly or as often. The strange thing is... ncftp does NOT do this. I have never had a redial while using it. Anyone else run into this? Could it be a network setting that needs to be adjusted? Because I can't nail this down to a specific cause... RTFM hasn't been too successful ;) The connection is a standard 33.6 USR Sportster. I run a low usage Apache server, sendmail (20 users max) and 21 Eggdrop bots. I first thought I was taxing my bandwidth. however, lag is not a problem... everything else functions great, and if it was a bandwidth problem... ncftp would have the same problem.

Usually, there's a genuine (and good) reason. For example, I recently installed FreeBSD 2.2.5 here and was surprised to find that all the non-essential software was installed into /usr/local. When I asked my local expert, he said it's because that's the way traditional BSD systems are installed. But is that a good reason? I don't think so. To me, the FSSTND gives a very nice, pure system; a fresh FreeBSD install does not feel the same. (These comments are not instended to be anti-FreeBSD, since the same applies to Solaris, BSDI, etc).

Paul Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > When I set the MANPATH environment variable, the /usr/man, etc. manual > pages don't work...

Longer answer: Debian uses a more recent convention for determining manpaths than just a MANPATH environment variable. It's explained somewhat in the manpath(1) and manpath(5) pages. Essentially, the manpath program is run to get where to search for man pages, instead of just looking for a $MANPATH environment variable - manpath then will return the $MANPATH environment variable if it exists, or use its own rules if that environment variable doesn't exist. (manpath's own rules have it figure out the man path from the current $PATH variable) To the list: does anyone know if manpath actually examines anything but the path? The man page claims that it looks also at the current directory and the user's environment, but I don't see the effect. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: XWindows too big for my screen.
Hello, == > In X-Windows, almost any software I run extends off the edges of the > screen, making it difficult or impossible to use some stuff (Especialy > games, but other stuff too.) I'm using an SVGA monitor, but with a > generic VGA graphics card. Well, how much VRAM do you have on your graphics card? I have just 1 MB, but it allows me to run XWindow in 800x600x256 colors with virtual screen of 1024x768. I think it is also suitable for you. Virtual screen is a screen that 'exceeds' the size of your physical screen. You can enlarge it and move in it by simply dragging your mouse towards some corner of the screen. I suspect your virtual screen is too small, so it'll be good to enlarge it. So, edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config file, find the 'Screen sections' section and add this line to every 'Subsection "Display"': Virtual 1024 768 (or how much do you want) so it looks like this: Subsection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024" "640x480" ViewPort0 0 Virtual 1024 768 EndSubsection Of course, only one of that subsections is responsible for your display (because X automatically chooses the proper driver and settings for your card), but because I don't know which one of them is to be used to set up your X, I suggest you put that line into every such subsection. Of course you may experiment and find out which one subsection is really needed and edit only that. I think you should edit preferably those section which are commented to be for generic VGA. But there is nothing to mess. By the way, how many screens do you have on your X? It is set in the system.fvwm2rc file (if you're using FVWM2) in the line DeskTopSize. Make sure it is at least 2x2.

Re: lpr remote printing
the problem is the missing link to /var/spool from /usr/spool. since there are no references to /usr/spool/lpd in lpd, this most certainly comes from the /etc/printcap file. it certainly does on my system (the printcap is generated automatically by the distributed printing people). which brings up one of the things that i am beginning to find annoying about linux these days: this so called file system standard, which seems to be getting weirder and weirder every day, and more and more different than the other unixes. i used unix long before there was even linux, and for a while it was a pleasure to watch linux transform itself into a full fledged unix-like operating system. but now it is beginning to suffer from the emacs syndrome, insisting on doing things its own way for the sake of being different (or so it seems to me). don't get me wrong, i love linux and emacs (i am typing this in emacs on a debian/linux machine) but i do think that the fsf people suffer form terminal grandeur and debian, by choosing to follow them so closely, is beginning to exhibit the same symptoms. --alex-- -- | I believe the moment is at hand when, by a paranoiac and active | | advance of the mind, it will be possible (simultaneously with | | automatism and other passive states) to systematize confusion | | and thus to help to discredit completely the world of reality. | -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

What do you mean by "that package" - the scrollbars you describe seem to by the ones you get with xaw3d. Just do as I suggested in my last message and use the nextaw (or, in hamm, nextawg) package - it'll be nicer for you in terms of not havine to use separate mouse buttons. (Now granted, there may be some weird Xdefaults setting I'm not aware of to make regular xaw scrollbars behave with the mouse the way you'd like them to, but I don't know it). -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

I now have at that location some information on fixing one's system if one goes ahead and uses the autoup script anyway. I also have re-done my bash 2.01 for bo .deb's so that they obey the debian version numbering scheme; these new packages are linked off of http://jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu/~dtm12/bash/ - if you are using my bash 2.01 for bo .deb files, you are strongly encouraged to either switch to these packages which have the correct version numbers, or to wait a few days for a bash 2.01 to appear in bo-unstable. [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I found recompiling bash 2.01 for bo a bit annoying; on that page with the new packages is a link to a patchfile I created against the hamm source tree. Unless you've already gone through the process of reworking the debian/* files to build nicely under (and for) bo, you might want to use my patch as a starting point. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

cron fails following hamm upgrade
Hi, According to /var/log/syslog, my cron was working all day on Feb 8 (the day I upgraded to hamm), and stopped working the following morning when I rebooted. /var/log/syslog now shows that crontab edits, removals, and lists work fine, and I've reviewd my crontab entries with diligence, however restarting crontab consistently "fails": --/var/log/syslog-- localhost crontab[951]: (kotsya) LIST (kotsya) localhost crontab[971]: (kotsya) REPLACE (kotsya) localhost crontab[971]: (kotsya) END EDIT (kotsya) localhost /usr/sbin/cron[1520]: (CRON) STARTUP (fork ok) localhost /usr/sbin/cron[1520]: (CRON) STAT FAILED (/etc/cron.d) One thing that seems unusual is that there is no /etc/cron.d, as syslog complains (above), so I'm wondering if this may have resulted from the hamm upgrade. I've reviewd the upgrade document, but see no mention of it. I have all the proper startup scripts in /etc/rc*.d/ for cron (just like anacron). Also, anacron works fine. I've done quite a bit of research on this, including looking at bug reports, change docs, README's, upgrade docs, man pages. I've updated packages many times since Feb 8.

install prob, AHA2920 SCSI, "no disk found"
Version 1.3.1 (newest) rescue disk, gives message "no disk found" when I get to the disk partition step (first step that looks for a hard drive). controller: AHA2920 disk: ST3151N (Seagate) The obvious answer would be that the rescue disk kernel does not have support for the card. Is this the case? How can it be remedied? The drive and the PCI controller are new to the system. The previous SCSI controller was on the ISA bus. It worked fine. There is little reason to suspect the jumper settings. The system finds the controller card at boot, but control-A does not bring up a bios program as on the 2940 (is this normal?). -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

PS/2 Mouse Port
I have a motherboard that has a PS/2 mouse port. It's *not* an ATX motherboard, though - the PS/2 port and the parallel port are together on a metal insert that goes in one of the card slot holes in the case. I have a TrackMan that has a PS/2 port: with an adapter it works fine in the serial port, but I want to free up that port and use the PS/2 port on the motherboard. I tried plugging the mouse in, powering up the system, and configuring XFree86 to use /dev/psaux or /dev/psmouse, but no dice. I also tried "cat /dev/psaux" and moving the trackball and pushing buttons, and saw nothing - I expected to see gibberish. So maybe it isn't working at all!

XWindows too big for my screen.
I'm sure this is a stupid problem, and that the answer is right in front of me in one of the man pages, but I can't for the life of me find it. In X-Windows, almost any software I run extends off the edges of the screen, making it difficult or impossible to use some stuff (Especialy games, but other stuff too.)
