2 Xsessions?, 2 graphics cards?
Hi, I am a happy debian user (since 0.93R6) and I am wondering if I can do something a bit unusual. I suffer from having 2 computers in my office, one is a debian PC, the other a sun workstation. I would really like to cut that down to just the PC by using a remote sun computer. Is there some way to run more than one X session on my debian PC? Ideally I would do something like run an 8-bit depth xdm session that logged me into a remote sun computer and a second X session that is 16-bit depth that is my local session. If it requires a second video card it is no problem. I would then be able to switch between the two sessions via ALT-F7, ALT-F8 or something. Is this pie-in-the-sky or is there some way to do something close to this. Stuart PS. I realize I could just run remote X clients on my local display but I need to run the Sun solaris applications (saoimage, ximtool, idl) etc in 8-bit mode. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null

Pine not building from source
I have tried about three time to build a debian package from the Pine 3.96L files that I downloaded from the debian server.

Do you have the IP-Masquerade / IP-Firewall package installed? (I forget the actual name.) I had similar problems after installing the ipmasq tools.

If you're running X, the XKEYBOARD server extension in XFree86 should allow you to do this. Inside of Section "Keyboard" you can try the line: XkbKeymap "xfree86(pt)" And make sure you don't disable the extension by having the line XkbDisable In this section.

Of course you benefit from the extra bandwidth if you have multiple devices on that bus, say you have UW SCSI rated at 40MB/s, then you can run two of those Chetah's simultaneously without degraded performance. My point was that if you're benchmarking a disk and you get greater than 20MB/s you're seeing the results of caching, either in RAM or on the disk itself. Or you have some special set up, e.g., solid state disk (they still make these?) or a RAID. Gary -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null

Also, note that Pine is not available directly as a binary for hamm; it was actually a mistake to distribute it for bo (Debian 1.3.x) in the first place, and the University of Washington has asked us not to distribute any precompiled binary other than the ones they've approved; however, we can distribute the source, and so in hamm pine exists only in source form. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null

You shouldn't have to change anything to the window-managers file. Gnome does not contains a window-manager, gnome *is* not a window manager. You should get your preferable windowmanager running, and then add 'panel &' to your .xsession (if you're running xdm) or .xinitrc (if you're using startx), and if you want to gsm (the gnome session manager, it's in package gnome-session).

The quick answer to your question is just the 'make' package. If you're actually going to try to compile programs using make, though, you probably want a C compiler and the support files necessary to use it; you should install at the very least gcc and libc6-dev, along with the -dev packages for any libraries the program you're trying to compile needs. -- _ / \ "Dad was reading a book called | David Maze | _Schroedinger's Kittens_.

RE: Drive mounting
Should be: mkdir /dos mount -t msdos /dev/hdb6 /dos The mkdir command only has to be given once. The mount command needs to be given everytime you log in (or you can edit the /etc/fstab file so that the partition is automatically mounted). The second logical partition on the second drive is hdb6. The first logical is hdb5. The primaries are hdb1, hdb2, hdb3 but you don't have any primary partitions on the second drive (which is a good thing). Run "cfdisk /dev/hdb" to see which partitions are on the second drive and how /dev names are assigned. By the way, I would probably do mkdir /dos_e mount -t msdos /dev/hdb6 /dos_e instead. You can then mount /dos_c and /dos_d later if you want. You might want to reconfigure System Commander, it boots Linux off of a second drive just fine for me. (It should for you too as long as you can access the second drive via BIOS routines.) Just run dselect again and change your access option to point to your /dos directory. Sorry, I can't help with the zip drive (don't have one) or ethernet card (I've got the same card, but haven't installed it.) Good luck Tony Richardson -Original Message- From: Cristov Russell [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 18, 1998 5:43 AM To: debian-user Subject: Drive mounting Hello all. I'm very green at Linux and unfortunately no one that I know is currently using it. I'm having a little trouble understanding how to mount a drive. I have to physical hard drives and a parallel zip drive and I am dual booting with Win95. The primary HD has a single FAT16 partition and second HD has an extended partition with two logical drives also FAT16. Linux is also on the second HD (I'm still booting from a floppy BTW) and I'm using System commander as my loader. I've tried using the following command immediately after logging in as 'root': mkdir dos mount -t msdos /dev/hdb3 /dos I get an error that says the mount point doesn't exist. Also, i'm attempting to access the second logical drive (E in DOS). Is the syntax correct? What do I use to access the zip drive? The reason I want to mount the drive is to install the packages I downloaded. How do I run dselect again after going through the setup. One more. I have a Linksys EtherPCI II Lan card in my system. They say that I should choose the NE2000 driver. When I choose the driver and try to install it, setup says that the I/O address must be specified. I know what IRQ (9) the card is using and I can look in Windows for the I/O settings it's using (6400 starting) but I still can't install the driver. Any suggestions?

I don't know if you have the same kind of problems I do, but make sure your hardware is solid before you worry about software. I have a Supra external modem, and it looks like it doesn't do a proper power-on reset. If I have a momentary power flicker, the odds are fairly good that the modem will be completely locked up. The only fix is to unplug the modem for a few seconds, and it will then come up fine. This wouldn't be a problem if I had a UPS, but it seems a little ridiculous to buy a UPS just for a modem. -- Carl Johnson[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null

I'm assuming that since you don't know much about Linux, you're using a standard kernel (as opposed to one you have made yourself), and AFAIK, all of the standard kernels have DOS file system support. Put your floppy disk in the disk drive and make sure you are root type: mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /floppy cd to the directory where ppp.log is (prolly /usr/log) type: cp ppp.log /floppy umount /floppy and you're done.

Re: Lan Tcp/ip Question
Hi... It may be useful for you to assign the NIC's address to something other than 0x300. A lot of different (very different even!) cards try to use 0x300 (sound cards, primarily). Also you may want to try pinging the machine's own address on the ethernet. See what that produces. Aside from that I can't help you much. ;\ Alex On Sun, 19 Jul 1998, Tomt wrote: > Date: Sun, 19 Jul 1998 12:06:49 -0500 > From: Tomt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: Lan Tcp/ip Question > Resent-Date: 20 Jul 1998 05:11:37 - > Resent-From: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Resent-cc: recipient list not shown: ; > > Hi Everyone, > > Question for anyone who knows much about networking under Debian. > > I have two computer one is running Debian Linux.

Lan Tcp/ip Question
Hi Everyone, Question for anyone who knows much about networking under Debian. I have two computer one is running Debian Linux. Kernel 2.0.29 and the other is running Windows Nt Workstation Sp3. Now heres what I'm trying to get done is the two machines to connect up and let the debian download stuff off the Nt machine(I'm in the process of replacing the NT machine and need to do some data transfer.) I've already figured out that I need samba, and have it installed but it doesn't work. So I was reading through some of the FAQs when it said to check and see if I can ping the other machine, so I try that. Both machines CANNOT get any response when they ping each other, I know the NT machine works because I can ping another Windows machine on the network. I get what looks like an activity light on the hub everytime I try something like ping from either machine. But machines can ping themselves. Heres the setup Windows NT machine - ip address 192.168.1.2 subnet 255.255.255.0 no gateway defined Debian Linux machine - ip address 192.168.1.1 subnet 255.255.255.0 no gateway defined Debian Machine is running a 3com 3c509b(Very close to the best isa Nic I've ever used.) I've narrowed my problem down to have to do something with the debian routing setup. Heres route and ifconfig information route -n output __ Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 02 lo __ This is the way the output appears after login. I've been manually adding this line 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 01 eth0 By typing route add -net 192.168.1.0 eth0 (I do know that this can be done through a script at startup, but I want to get it working correctly before doing that.) ifconfig __ loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1 RX packets:57 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:57 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:AF:72:43:7C inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:215 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:8476 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 Interrupt:10 Base address:0x300 ___ Local Loopback is working because I ping myself or 127.0.0.1 and I get a response. I have tcpdump installed(very handle util.) And when I try to ping I get a message about icmp: echo Request but thats it. Like I said I'm very sure this has something to do with my routing table, but everything I've read or seen about the routing table confuses me more. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong Do I have to have a default gateway? And what is that used for? A router?(I don't have one if so) Thanks in advance -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
Re: Hard drive spindown settings
Hi... Um, if this is possible you might want to do a software spin-down thing. Have a daemon watch for disk activity, and if there is none in a set amount of time (30 sec?) the hard disk will be suspended and SIGSTOP will be sent to update. Then the daemon will send SIGCONT to update and spin the drive back up at a set amount of time later (30 minutes?). This probably requires some form of kernel hacking.

cdrom error? (instalation)
I am attempting to install debian with floppies. I successfully get through all the installation until I attempt to install the kernel and modules. It installs stuff from the rescue floppy fine, but when installing from the drivers disk, I get the following error: --- lib/modules/2.0.29/cdrom/optcd.o: File exists star: No such file or directory --- Sometimes the optcd.o is replaced with cm206.o in the same error message, at the same part of the installation. It looks to me like it is having problems with my cdrom. Can anyone help? PS. I am trying to install to a section of my hard drive that was partitioned and compressed by the Win95 Drive Space program. Is this wrong? -jake _ DO YOU YAHOO!?
