Cannot find map file
Hi For some time my system gives me this error mesage on boot up. Cannot find map file My messages log files only go back to Feb of this year. Each of these have have this error message at each boot. I think the error goes all the way back to installation of Debian 1.1 over a year ago. This message occurs the following context: Mar 15 12:16:11 frodo syslogd 1.3-0#6: restart. Mar 15 12:16:11 frodo kernel: klogd 1.3-0, log source = /proc/kmsg started. Mar 15 12:16:12 frodo syslogd 1.3--0#6: restart. Mar 15 12:16:12 frodo kernel: Cannot find map file. [] I am (still) running Debian 1.1 on a 486/66 with 16 MB Ram and a AHA2840 SCSI controller and several disks. While I am not aware of any problems, I want to know whether this is inoccuous. Do I need to fix this? I'm about to upgrade to Hamm. I don't really want to do anything about this unless it will give me grief in the upgrade. --David --- LINUX: the FREE 32 bit OS for [3456]86 PC's available NOW!

Debian on Thinkpad 560x...
Dear all, I have just gotten a thinkpad 560x and would like to put debian (preferably 2.0) in. My previous attempts were taunted by the system rebooting upon loading the kernel (it passed the LILO prompt). I located the linux on tp560 homepages. Success was reported on the tp560x but I did not manage to catch the authors of the page by email. The problem is probably due to the apm incompatibility discussed in the page.

Re: Household proxy
G'day, I have researched a few different distributions and found Debian to be the best-documented of the group, and that's important to me. My mates and I seek only to inplement a household proxy for concurrent connection to the 'Net at the moment, but we will doubtless want to do more in the future. Does anyone know a good way under Debian to set up a proxy that 2 windogs clients and a macinslosh client can share locally? Please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have found the easiest way to do this is to use IP masquerading, and use a non-internet subnet (I tend to like 10.0.0.0). Set up your linux box with the modem, assign it an IP something like 10.0.0.1 and set up IP masq, then use it as a gateway for the rest of you windoze machine... I wont go into detail here how to do it, but the IP Masq (mini-)HOWTO is very easy to follow... I had it up and running in about 30 mins (not including recompiling IP Masq support into the kernel Alternatively you could use a proxy server like squid, but IMHO IP Masq is much sexier, and lets you do a lot more stuff over your network...

Re: It's all so confusing, so should I get a CD Distribution?
G'day 1) Would you recommend a distribution disk for a newbie? 2) Are there different ones to get? what are the differences? 3) I know this is a Debian list, but do you recommend Debian for user-friendliness? What are its advantages/disadv. ? I read an article about Red Hat being good, but it's expensive (£50 = $85) Well, I have now installed both RedHat 4.2 and Debian 1.3, and found them both pretty easy to install (actually, debian was a bit of a pain, but only because I was using an old laptop with a small HD and no CD-ROM!), and if I had to install one again, i think i'd probably go with debian... Redhat is pretty easy to install, but it seems to me (even tho I've only been using Linux for a few months) that the guts of Debian is a little easier to get a hand on than RedHat... RedHat has some nice X-Windows configuration tools, but using them you never really learn what's going on, and changing something by hand then becomes quite difficuly... 4) Can I dual-boot Windows NT and Debian? Yes, you certainly can... My system boots between RedHat, Win95 and WinNT4. There is actually a HOWTO that describes how to add Linux to the NT boot loader, which it pretty cool :) NTFS support in Linux is still a little shakey (seems to work, but i wouldn't want to bet important data on it) YMMV, but I tended to find that Linux was easist to set up on a disk by itself (that's if you have a HD to spare...) but lots of ppl seem to be using dual-boot systems, so I guess it can't be too hard!

I am running Debian 1.31. I want to install X windows on my system. Keep in mind that I have run X windows on this machine in the past using XFree86. So I know there is no incompatability in the software hardware issue. Here is the problem: I cannot run XF86Setup. It will not show anything on my monitor. I configure it by way of xf86config and run startx and get a blank screen also. I have tried the copy off my CD and the copy on the debian FTP site with the same results. BTW, it must be loading because all I have to do is wait for the hard drive activity to stop and press CTRL-ALT-Backspace and get back to my CLI. This has to be something simple that I have overlooked since I cannot see the system not working. BTW, I have looked at the configuration file from my old install and cannot find anything meaningfull different between the two.

Re: Household proxy
G'day This is probably a dumb question, but exactly what is proxy, how does it differ from IP masquerading and why would one use it instead of IP masq? Nah, no such thing as a dumb question! That's why the list is here :) Basically, with the growth of the internet, getting more than 1 IP address is getting particularly difficult (they're almost impossible to get in Australia). So most ppl use IP addresses on their local network that can't be routed onto the net, like the 10.0.0.0 subnet. So, as these can't be routed onto the net, none of the machines on your LAN can access the net, only your gateway (your machine with the modem) can. To get around this you can do thwo things... 1. Install a proxy server. A proxy server caches content. Basically netscape on any computer on the LAN can talk to the gateway computer, and the gateway computer can talk to the net. So Netscape asks the proxy for a file, and the proxy goes out and gets it, then gives it to netscape... Everything you do must be done thru the proxy. This is inconvienent because a lot of things don't work well with proxy servers. 2. Use IP Masquerading. IP masq is, like the proxy, installed on the gateway computer. Unlike the proxy tho, it allows all the machines on the LAN to access the net without a proxy, as if they were directly connected. It does this by looking at all the IP packets that go thru, and remembering who asked for what, and making sure it gets delivered back to the right place when it gets back. Hope some of that made sense... You can use both if you like, as a proxy tends to work well with web browsers. IP Masq tends to be more transparent, but is conceptually a little more different to understand, so a lot of ppl tend to get discouraged. In reality, everything is safely hidden from the end user, and it's pretty easy to get working... Hope that went some of the way towards explaining it... damon Damon Muller ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Web Page: www.sub.net.au/~tr It's not a sense of humor.

However, if the title is long the whole thing is meesed up. Is there a way to change that and either hjave no page headers or use title abbreveations ? Do I need to play around with the style files or some other sort of files ? Where would those files be in the tetex distribution of debian ? Any ideas would be appreciated.

IP Masq and ftp on the LAN
What is a good way to solve the ftp problem that our Windoze LAN users experience? I half heartily tried setting up an IP tunnel without success and that isn't a good solution anyway because I am running a static IP dialup account and it requires setup on the dialup server side as well. I want something that would be an ideal solution for a small office and not create problems if they hop from one ISP to another.

RE: X Help
I am running Debian 1.31. I want to install X windows on my system. Keep in mind that I have run X windows on this machine in the past using XFree86. So I know there is no incompatability in the software hardware issue. Here is the problem: I cannot run XF86Setup. It will not show anything on my monitor. I configure it by way of xf86config and run startx and get a blank screen also. I have tried the copy off my CD and the copy on the debian FTP site with the same results. BTW, it must be loading because all I have to do is wait for the hard drive activity to stop and press CTRL-ALT-Backspace and get back to my CLI. This has to be something simple that I have overlooked since I cannot see the system not working. BTW, I have looked at the configuration file from my old install and cannot find anything meaningfull different between the two.

Re: LINUX Proxy

Um... That's not _quite_ correct. Ctrl/O shifts to the primary character set, which is usually the right one. (The escape sequences necessary to change the primary char. set are rather unlikely to appear in a binary file, but they can happen - especially if, for example, the binary was of a program that did a lot of screen manipulation) I always go with outputting esc-c, which resets the terminal (and ends up clearing the screen too; oh well). I think the keyboard HOWTO has all sorts of information like this. (The reason it's so common to need the ^O fix is that to get the terminal to switch to the secondary character set (which starts out on well-behaved terminals as the graphics set) one only needs to send the terminal a ^N; assuming characters are evenly distributed in a binary, it gives a binary file about a one-in-two chance of leaving the screen in a messed-up state). -- E-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST.

Re: lilo, linux and win95
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: howdy all.:-) Just installed Debian linux and win95 on a system and wish to have dual boot system with LILO as boot manager. cfdisk shows: /dev/hda1 Boot Primary Dos FAT16 (has Win95 installed on it) /dev/hda5 Logical Linux /dev/hda6 Logical Linux Swap From the numbering above, I can surmise that you installed linux into an Extended DOS partition. If I run LILO and tell it to generate a new /etc/lilo.conf and then answer: Install a partition boot record to boot linux from /dev/hda5?yes Install a master boot record on /dev/hda yes Make /dev/hda5 the active partition? yes then LILO will generate the following error message: 5: not a valid partition number (1-4) If I answer yes to the first two questions but no for the third the system can only boot with Win95to boot linux I must use my emergency disk. Any suggestions on why this is happening? From the LILO manual ... LILO boot sector is designed to be usable as a partition boot sector. (I.e. there is room for the partition table.) Therefore, the LILO boot sector can be stored at the following locations: - boot sector of a Linux floppy disk. (/dev/fd0, ...) - MBR of the first hard disk. (/dev/hda, ...) - boot sector of a primary Linux file system partition on the first hard disk. (/dev/hda1, ...) - partition boot sector of an extended partition on the first hard disk. (/dev/hda1, ...)* * Most FDISK-type programs don't believe in booting from an extended partition and refuse to activate it. LILO is accompanied by a simple program (activate) that doesn't have this restriction. Linux fdisk also supports activating extended partitions. It _can't_ be stored at any of the following locations: - boot sector of a non-Linux floppy disk or primary partition. - a Linux swap partition. - boot sector of a logical partition in an extended partition.* - on the second hard disk. (Unless for backup installations, if the current first disk will be removed or disabled, or if some other boot loader is used, that is capable of loading boot sectors from other drives.) * LILO can be forced to put the boot sector on such a partition by using the -b option or the BOOT variable. However, only few programs that operate as master boot records support booting from a logical partition. ... Now based on the above information, you need to run the _Linux_ version of Fdisk (/sbin/fdisk) and make the extended partition (/dev/hda2) active. Other members of this list use extended partitions for Linux. My personal perference is to use primary partitions only. Without starting over from scratch, as root, you should try tweaking the lilo.conf file by hand and running lilo afterward. Reboot and check. As always, keep that bootable floppy handy just in case 8-) Perhaps others can offer tips on how you can configure the lilo.conf file for your particular setup. -- -= Sent by Debian 1.3 Linux =- Thomas Kocourek KD4CIK @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@westgac3.dragon.com Remove @_@ for correct Email address --... ...-- ... -.. . -.- -.. - -.-. .. -.- -- E-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST.

msql acls trouble
Hi!
I'm newbie in sql databases. I recently installed msqland I've got some
troubles with acls.
My /etc/msql.acl looks like this:

I think it means: user tomek can write to database 'test' from any host in
domain se.com.pl, and locally, others can onlu read. But it does'nt work
for me. User tomek can only read from databse and only if I try local access
(msql test). All write querys fail.
If I invoke msql with hostname (msql -h rabarbar.se.com.pl
test) I get ERROR : Access to database denied

FAQ's should be updated for newbies
Hiya. I just installed Debian 1.3.1 onto a spare partition of my system this weekend. The installation faq found on www.debian.org was very helpful in getting it installed on my system. However, the DSELECT faq was far from helpful... in fact, it was apalling how it ignores the novice user such as myself. So I have DSELECT up and running, and I have to choose the first item on the menu (0 - Access) in order to tell DSELECT where the packages are. Does the FAQ tell me what to do here? No. The FAQ assumes that I am an experienced user, and would know what a Block Device is. But I don't. The FAQ for dselect is lacking in this area. It should give step-by-step instructions on using it, so that newbies such as myself can get it up and running without having to call up their Linux-guru friends at 2am.

Re: It's all so confusing, so should I get a CD Distribution?
OK, I'm finding all this Linux thing really difficult because I'm using it on my home computer and have to go to my mother's college to download things, and I'm a total newbie no! I hate that word. I'm a Brit! so I don't have a clue when it comes to recompiling the Kernel to put NTFS compatibility on, and installing X Window etc. Therefore, I am considering buying a distribution. 1) Would you recommend a distribution disk for a newbie? I Think a newbie (and also others with out fast and handy internet connection) should have a CD. Take a look at www.debian.org. Some commercial companies that I recall selling CDs are www.chaepbytes.com, www.lsl.com. I think that those CD cost about $20 or less, mostly for overseas shipment. 2) Are there different ones to get? what are the differences? Yes. The differences are the addition to the standard Linux software. For example, There might be an office software for Linux, or an integrated clone of Motif, or a book (www.linuxpress.com), to name only some possibilities. 3) I know this is a Debian list, but do you recommend Debian for user-friendliness? What are its advantages/disadv. ? I read an article about Red Hat being good, but it's expensive (£50 = $85) I would recommend Debian for user-friendliness. The fact that a package tells you what its dependencies and if they are fullfiled seems to me very user freindly. And the new deity are said to overcome the difficult sides of dselect. By the way, I think that an official Red Hat can be bought for $40 or even $20, without shipment. It may be that the mentioned $85 includes more then a bare Red Hat distribution. 4) Can I dual-boot Windows NT and Debian? I believe you can althgough I never tried to. -- E-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST. Trouble? E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
