Problem compiling Gzilla

mgetty voice/fax/data
I have a SupraFAXModem 288i v.34 (33.6kbs) and I'm wondering how to configure mgetty to distinguish voice/fax/date calls and use caller id. From looking at the mgetty logs, mgetty sends AT+FAA=1 to my modem after the init_chat initialization strings.. +FAA=1 is 'Adaptive Answering' for class 2 fax modems, which distinguishes between fax and data. There is another type of answering called 'Silent Answer Plus' (AT+FAA=4 for class 2) that also determines voice. What is the deference between silent answer and adaptive? Does mgetty support silent answer? And how can I send the +FAA=4 command to my modem instead of +FAA=1? For caller id, what format does mgetty expect it to be in? My modem supports 'readable format' (#CID=1) and 'ascii printable characters in hex' (#CID=2). Also, how do I tell mgetty that I'm using caller id to check the dialin.config file? For voice calls, I'd like to send a message (smbclient) to another computer. How can I monitor the caller id strings and if mgetty determines that it is voice? Anyone had any experiance with this setup? I'd like to hear how well it works (please also include your modem type).

How to run multiple X display servers?

I thought this would be neat and thought I'd try it. When I do startx -- :1.0 the server starts, but the clients complain about not having authorization to connect to the server. I played around with xauth to add an entry to the .Xauthority file and got everything to work.

compiling and installing non deb stuff

That is what kinds of changes commonly need to be made to make files and install scripts. 4.

Re: two keyboards, two monitors, two users, one processor?
This question or ones very like it seem to come up fairly often. Of cource the critical (and hard) part is driving two video cards. It is possible. There was an article in LJ a bit ago describing the Metro-X X server, which can control multiple video cards (though they may have to be a particular type and/or brand. I don't know how interrupts and the like fit in the picture (your average video card uses two of them if I understand correctly).

This would be a cheap in time/money approach for my wife and I simultaneously using Linux. It might be worthwhile finding a cheap 386 or 486 with a good graphics card. Install a minimum of programs on it, just the X server. If you run xfs on your main computer, you won't even need the fonts. You could do this with even a 200 MB hard disk, I think. You *will* need 2 network cards for this, but setting up two computers on a network under Linux is easier than some single-computer stuff. X is probably too slow over serial. I think most X apps would run tolerably over a null modem cable. If I understand these gadgets right, the can operate at the speed of the serial port, which is about 120 kbps, I think. Even over ppp (33k modem) many apps function reasonably well. (Just another option.)

Re: compiling and installing non deb stuff
It is recommended that any local software -- not a debian package -- be installed in /usr/local. dpkg/dselect ignores this directory(for the most part). There is a file system standard the all linux dists are supposed to follow. It is currently called the FSSTND, soon to be the FHS. It should be in /usr/doc/debian I think.

problems while updating packages with dpkg
Hello, Sometime ago I got the Debian GNU/Linux 1.1.4.Sept96 release. Working with it, I managed to set up my little system at home.(I was very proud of myself ;-)). Two months ago, I borrowed from some friends the Debian 1.3.1. release. Eagerly :-) I began updating packages, installing this, purging that,... In the middle of the fun, it ocurred to me that it could be interesting to have the new dpkg package(s) on my system. So I installed dpkg1.4.0.8.deb, dpkg_cross_0.1.deb, dpkg -dev_1.4 and dpkg_ftp_1.9.8, well the dpkg-related packages appearing in my new distribution. A few days ago, I ran 'dpkg -l' and I got a message reading something like 'problems while parsing /var/lib/dpkg/available'. I realized that this database was corrupted!. Lots of package info lines were repeated even twice or more times. I tried to restore it (by hand) and finally I achieved to leave it operative (that means I can do dpkg -l, -s, -iGOEB, --purge,... ) but there are still repeated lines (that someday I will have to delete). The question is : is there somebody out there with an idea of what happened in my sistem?. Could it happen again and under what circunstances?.

Re: Getting Started
Unfortunatly I can't install Linux on any of my machines, but I can use the ASH Shell from the rescue disk, as I am a complete novice to Linux, I was wondering what to do next, where can I find some *simple*, and small programs on the net, how to unzip them, and if I need to format a drive for linux, if so how do I format a floppy, or my syquest backup drive.

Neither smail or exim will work on my system, because, apparently, my domain name does not comply to RFC1035 (if this is so, neither does 3com.com or 1800flowers.com, etc. etc.). RFC1912 (Common DNS Operational and Configuration Errors) says: Allowable characters in a label for a host name are only ASCII letters, digits, and the `-' character. Labels may not be all ^^ numbers, but may have a leading digit (e.g., 3com.com). Labels must ^^^ end and begin only with a letter or digit. See [RFC 1035] and [RFC 1123]. (Labels were initially restricted in [RFC 1035] to start with a letter, and some older hosts still reportedly have problems with the relaxation in [RFC 1123].) Note there are some Internet hostnames which violate this rule (411.org, 1776.com). [...] If a domain name is to be used for mail (not involving SMTP), it must follow the rules for mail in [RFC 822], which is actually more liberal than the above rules. Labels for mail can be any ASCII character except specials, control characters, and whitespace characters. Specials are specific symbols used in the parsing of addresses. They are the characters ()@,;:\.[]. (The ! character wasn't in [RFC 822], however it also shouldn't be used due to the conflict with UUCP mail as defined in RFC 976) However, since today almost all names which are used for mail on the Internet are also names used for hostnames, one rarely sees addresses using these relaxed standard, but mail software should be made liberal and robust ^^~~^^^ enough to accept them. ^ I don't think exim and smail should refuse to work just because they're trying to be strict (it *is* just possible to run email without DNS) but I'm not surprised if they don't work.

Matrox Millenium II again
Hello Debian-users, I have installed Debian Linux 1.3.1 (from InfoMagic CD-set dated Aug 97). Next I would like to have XFree86 running, but with my Matrox Millenium II I have faced some problems (I have Nokia 447Xpro terminal with line frequency range from 30 to 96 kHz and refresh frequency range from 50 to 150 Hz). I have made extensive search for help through newsgroups and several Linux links. It seems that in this mailing list there have been discussions about Millenium II as well. But it seems to me that there are various ways to deal with this problem and as a new Linux user I am a bit confused. XSuSE servers have been mentioned, on the other hand somebody says that only latest version of XFree86 is needed from XFree86 ftp site (they should have experimental version that supports Millenium II). I have tried XSuSE-server. I strictly followed the instructions in their web-page under Installation of the XSuSE-X-Server, ie. I downloaded the relevant *.tgz files (both the server and xf86config) and untarred them as instructed. Then I run xf86config. If I then run XF86Setup, while selecting card I get an error message. Matrox Millenium II is on the list, but apparently cannot be selected. I would be extremely happy if somebody could write down short step by step instructions for the XFree86 installation with Matrox Millenium II, either with XSuSE-server or some other valid way.

anonymous ftp permissions
Hello everybody, I have an anonymous ftp site up and running. I want to add some debian stuff to it. The debian is on another drive. There was talk about mounting the drive under the anonymous directory tree. I can't use hardlinks on different drives and/or partitions or filesystems. I was wondering why I can't use symbolic links. I am using ncsa and there is a config file access.conf that has an option of allowing symlinks. What is up I checked my permissions and ownerships for the directory that I want to add to my ftpsite. Can anyone help me. I would really appreciate it. Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Getting Started
I've a Syquest (1.5 G) drive and I do not seem to be able to mount it onto any partition: mount /dev/sdca /syquest Always gave me some error on unknown ftype... Did I do something wrong? Thanks! To mount the disk in syjet, you should know the partitions you have on that disk. Just run fdisk -l, it will list all the partitions you have on your system. If your syjet is really /dev/sdc device, and have only one dos partition, then mount it with mount -t msdos /dev/sdc1 /mnt But if you want just to install linux on the drive, you don't even need to do that. Just insert the disk into the drive, rescue floppy into the floppy drive and reboot the computer. Configure the keyboard and go to the partition the hard drive menu. Select the syjet drive from there (/dev/sdc, if it is correct) and repartion it the way you like. You will create /dev/sdc1, /dev/sdc2, etc. partitions. You will be prompted on where these partitions should be mounted, respond to that and just follow the installation path. Everything will be done automatically. Just don't try to make the hard drive bootable! Create a boot floppy! Now, each time you want to boot linux, insert the boot floppy you created and the syjet disk and reboot. You may remove the floppy after booting.

Re: Matrox Millenium II again

It cost $100 but I think it is well worth it. Hello Debian-users, I have installed Debian Linux 1.3.1 (from InfoMagic CD-set dated Aug 97).

I have made extensive search for help through newsgroups and several Linux links. It seems that in this mailing list there have been discussions about Millenium II as well. But it seems to me that there are various ways to deal with this problem and as a new Linux user I am a bit confused.

Re: Debian Linux and Non-Free Packages.
I hope you'll put it under the GPL. Hope you wouldn't :) Since I wouldn't be able to create a Motif interface in case you put it under GPL. I am having a big problems with GPL'd software now: I am writing a Motif clone of WS_FTP and while the front-end is almost ready, I am forced to write my own back-end because the usable ftp software is GPL'd! I feel more then frustrated about it now. Q: ouch! it hurts when i do this. A: don't do that then. in other words, if motif is causing you problems then don't use motif. there are several GPL-ed alternatives available, including lesstif. Hi. I expected this :) Guys, what I am doing is a high-quality gui programming. (sorry if it sounds a bit ... not humble). Even Motif is not enough for this kind of task. I am using most of the features of Motif 2.0 (those which are also present in 2.1) - this rules lesstif out. And still, it was not enough. I even thought of using the VERY non-free, (check out the prices on www.klg.com), the XRT PDS widget set for Motif. There were several other alternatives though, due to the very long history of Motif many free widgets were created. I compared several of them and found that the gain from XRT PDS would be minimal, ended up with using some free (but still Motif-based) widgets (XbaeMatrix comes to mind). If you like, I can send you a pilot prototype so that you can compare its look with the one of, say, gzilla. Thanks.

Port Scanning
Is there anything out there to stop people from port scanning my system ? I had someone last night scan my system from port 1 to 50,000 ! I heard that there is a portscand out there somewhere, if so where ? Thanks, Matthew -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Cyrix 586/100
Can anyone tell me if this processor is compatible with debian, and if any special installation procedures will be required?

Bug in EGCS?
Hi,
this small program doesn't seem to work properly with egcs. I was wondering if
this is a kwown bug/problem or if I am just doing something *very* stupid:
#include iostream.h
#include iomanip.h
main()
{
cout.fill(' ');
for(float i=0;i10;i+=0.1)
cout setprecision(2) setw(5) i endl;
}
Output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@0.1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@0.2
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@0.3
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@0.4
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@0.5
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@0.6
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@0.7
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@0.8
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@0.9
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@1.1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@1.2
...
AFAIK, there should be no ^@ in the output but spaces.
This works OK. with the old
gcc.
Thanks,
Luis.
