KDE 1.0 packages?
I installed kdebase, kdeutils, kdegraphics, etc, by finding the packages at the debian website. I installed and it works, but there are some problems related to permissions, and most problematic, there are many missing help files. How do I figure out whether I have kde 1.0 or a beta? What is the best way to upgrade the whole kde "suite" to 1.0? Thanx, Ed -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
Lilo Source
I am trying to find the Lilo source files. I'm sure they must be available somewhere but I'm not sure where to look. (As far as I can tell they're not in the kernel source code or in a separate package in the devel section of the debian download archive.) Incidentally, I wanted to look at these files because I'm trying to figure out how to work the "Flux Operating System Toolkit" from the University of Utah. If anyone has any tips on how to use this package I'd be very interested. For instance, do I need to set up a separate partition to try out their sample kernels? Should I just add an entry to lilo.conf to run their sample? Etc.. Thanks for any help someone might have. Dennis Dixon P.O.

Re: A question about an include file.
__P is basically a macro that lets the declaration work with both K&R-style and ANSI C compilers. I haven't looked at it directly but it's something like #if (K_AND_R) #define __P(x) x #elif (ANSI_C) #define __P(x) #endif __const is likewise a macro, probably to work with compilers which don't like const. There are info pages for the C Preprocessor if you're intested in syntax. I doubt there's any documentation per se for these conventions used by the C library headers.

A question about an include file.
Could someone explain what the following line, which is taken from /usr/include/errno.h, means : extern void perror __P ((__const char* __s)); As I understand it, it means that perror is defined in an external file and returns a void type. But what are the __P, and __const ? And why there are 2 sets of brackets, and not only 1 ? Where does these constructs being documented ?

No. set_prompt is executed once (in my startup file), and the local
variables store the escape sequences only while setup_prompt is running.
The `...` will execute tput and store the ouput in the local variables. Then
this output is used to put together the prompt. The prompt does contain the
real escape sequences and is itself not portable to other terminals.

I think you have to make bash know that those are not really printed
characters, or you may get problems with line breaking, deletion of
characters and so on. At least you have to do it when you move things around
(I have the date printed in the upper right corner, for example).
You can do this by using \[ and \] around the escape sequence.
More portable is it when you query the terminal capabilities:
set_prompt ()
{
local SAVE_CRS=`tput sc 2> /dev/null`
local RESET_CRS=`tput rc 2> /dev/null`
local CLOCKPOS=`tput cup 0 90 2> /dev/null`
local FOREG=`tput setf 6 2> /dev/null`
local ALT_FOREG=`tput setf 3 2> /dev/null`
local BACKG=`tput setb 0 2> /dev/null`
local NORMAL=`tput sgr0 2> /dev/null`
local BOLD=`tput bold 2> /dev/null`
PS1="\[${NORMAL}${SAVE_CRS}${CLOCKPOS}${FOREG}${BACKG}${BOLD} \@ [EMAIL
PROTECTED]:\w\$ "
}
set_prompt
This will print a yellow user name, followed by normat hostname, ":" and
path + final "$ ". It will also print a cyan clock hh:mmXX, where XX is
wither "am" or "pm".
See "man tput" and other man pages referenced from there.

xfstt 0.9.9-5 is not serving for some reason.
Hi all, I recently grabbed the latest xfstt from Slink and I removed the old xfstt first before upgrading (maybe this is where I went wrong). Anyways, the new xfstt installed without giving any error messages but when I started X and Netscape, Netscape was no longer using truetype fonts and I could no longer select them from edit -> preferences -> fonts. I looked at my XF86Config file and noticed there was no longer a FontPath "unix/:7100" entry but adding one just made X fail to start (could not open default font "fixed" error or something like that). I rebooted also before trying all of this again and xfstt starts up just fine at boot time so I'm clueless here. Thanks for any help, Chris -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null

problem at start of debian linux installation
Hi people, I have a laptop from TOSHIBA, model 310CDS, and I have a copy of your last distribution (hamm, 2.0, 24/7/98.) I have a floppy disk that I wrote using the command rawrite2 whith arguments 'resc1440.bin' and 'A:'. (from debian/hamm/main/disks-i386/current) Then I inserted the floppy disk and rebooted the WindowsNT system I already have on this laptop. I viewed the normal debian welcome message and the 'boot:' prompt. So I pressed ENTER. The boot process was starting. I read the messages about loading the root.bin and the linux kernel. Then the laptop was rebooted. Starting the same boot process. Endless... I tryed several times this operation, but it is always restarting after loading kernel and root image. Do you have some hints about that? I thank you very much, Giuseppe Sacco -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null

Re: xdm doesn't start properly
make sure /etc/init.d/xdm is not zero lenght (ie: nothing in the file). As dumb as it sounds I kept typing '/etc/init.d/xdm start' and nothing was happening. Dumb mistake, but it can happen. If it is zero you probably need to reinstall the package again (xbase if I am not mistaken.) Good luck... --Jay > Hello, first is xdm started, is there an xdm process in the table?

startx fails/freezes machine (hamm)
Hi,
On a fresh Debian 2.0 installation I am having severe
problems running X. It seems like some hardware incompatibility
and I've exhausted my own knowledge of what to try. I have to
suspect the video and scsi cards but they work together just
fine in text mode.
Now for the details:
Symptoms: When I "startx" the monitor clicks, and appears to go into
text mode with a blank screen. No further keyboard input
is recognized except Crtl-Alt-Del which cleanly reboots
the machine. None of {Crtl-Alt-Backspace, Crtl-Alt-F2, etc..}
work to get back out of X. Output from startx and
"strace -f startx" show nothing helpful.
Software: A fresh Debian 2.0 install with XF86_S3
as the xserver (xserver-s3_3.3.2.2-4.deb).
Hardware: Number Nine GXE64 2Mb video card (~4 years old)
Symbios 53c875 based scsi card (Diamond Fireport 40) (new)
5 scsi devices of various ages (cdrom and disks)
Abit BX6 motherboard w 64MB PC100 memory (new)
Intel PII 233 MHz cpu (given to me -- unknown history)
Sony 200sx monitor (~2 years old)
modem, soundcard, ethernet card (old)
PS/2 style mouse, keyboard
I tried with the soundcard and ethernet card removed. Same problem.
During the installation, the xbase-configure program worked fine
up to the point where it tries to run XF86_S3. The XF86_VGA16
server works fine during the xbase-configure program. Naturally
rebooting at that stage of the installation caused a few problems.
I had previously been running Debian 1.3 on an Intel 486 66MHz machine
that used the same video, monitor, modem, soundcard, nic. I used to
use an ncr53c810 scsi card also but had to buy the Diamond Fireport 40
since the new motherboard bios did not recognize the old scsi card.
I tries various bios settings. I made sure there are no memory
holes or memory shadowing settings enabled. I also tried having
the bios assign an irq to the video card -- it made no difference.
So, can anyone recommend a solution or course of action? I will try
another video card if I can borrow one but I am really suprised that
my old faithful S3 based card is not working with this new setup.
Perhaps I should have bought a buslogic scsi card instead?
thanks in advance,
Stuart

When you start up an xterm, it will inherit the environment variables from the process which started it. If it's set to be a login shell then /etc/profile and ~/.bash_profile will be read and processed. These could also manipulate your environment. The shell will also process ~/.bashrc.

Hi, When you point apt's config file, sources.list, to more than one Debian archive, is it possible make sure it uses a specific site when the same version of a package is found on more than one site? Is it just the order in which you put the archives in the sources.list file? -Remco -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null

I have a freshly installed hamm, with / mounted to a 500 MB partition

To test this I made
ls -Rl bin boot dev etc initrd lib lost+found root sbin tmp var vmlinuz |
awk '{ total+=$5 }; END { print total };'
This reports only 18MB in use.
How can I get rid of this problem???

A make zimage for that does work. i did try something like this earlier, but i think i ended up w/ something like: "unable to open initial console" after the root filesystem was mounted read-only. i'll give this a try again -- what i did before was to take the zimage that i compiled and replace it w/ the kernel image on an existing rescue disk. is there anything else i should do besides replace the kernel? btw, does anyone know how to report these bugs? is boot-floppies the appropriate package to report this under in the bug tracking system? thanks for your attention. -sen -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null

Re: daily thinkpad 770 ed post :-)
The only way we were able to get our thinkpad to boot debian was to rebuild the kernel using 'make zimage' instead of 'bzimage'. The tecra fix doesn't work for 2.0.34 or above for us. The other alternative is to use the development 2.1.1xx kernel. A make zimage for that does work.

Several questions before I run Debian
I do not subscribe to this list and do not currently run Debian. Before I run Debian I want to know: What kernel version does the current Debian 2.0 come with? What support is included for Fat 32? Do the X servers include support for the Diamond Viper V330? If I can get acceptable answers to these questions I will begin to run Debian ASAP. Thanks for your time and help.

(Of course, this prompt may look a little different depending on how you've configured your system). It is the default master boot record installed by Debian (unless you choose to NOT install a master boot record; most users do, I imagine), and it will allow someone to boot with a floppy before LILO even runs, unless the sysadmin has disabled floppy boot in BIOS. Not all BIOSes support this option, so it makes sense to consider mbr's place in a security scheme. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet - 410 South Phillips Avenue - Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9) -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
