Georg Thanks, I am looking at the docs now. There are a lot!

Where to get libraries to make Communicator 4.06 work
I am using Debian 1.3.1 Linux, connected to the net via cable with an ethernet card. I just downloaded Communicator 4.06 and also 4.5, and am having the same problems in both of them. They seem to work ok for a variable amount of time (3 or 4 minutes), bringing up a few sites, bringing up Help Contents, and allowing me to set preferences, then the trouble begins: Unable to create a network socket connection on any site, including Cool, etc. as well as other assorted problems Once trouble starts, these manifestations continue until I exit and restart. >From release notes, I think problem might be due to libraries. In the following from release notes I have put in parentheses the libraries I have (O.K. if not followed by paren) Linux 2.0.x only: If you are experiencing random hangs while running Communicator, you may be using an incompatible version of one of the system shared libraries. For reference purposes, here is the list of shared libraries linked into Communicator: libXm.so.1.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.1.2.4 (only applies to the dynamic binary) libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0 libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6.0 libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6.0 (6.3) libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6.0 libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4.9 (4.7) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.1 (6.3) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.1 libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1.7.14 (so.1) libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.3.12 (so.5) libg++.so.27 => /usr/lib/libg++.so.27.1.4 (2.1) libstdc++.so.27 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.27.1.4 (2.1) libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5.0.6 (0.9) If these are causing the problem, I would like to know where to get the desired libraries, and how to install them.

RE: accessing Win95-hours50-to-load filesystems
For recompiling the kernel, you need to have the kernel package and kernel source installed, I think -- you can do this with dselect. Then, take a look at the FAQMatic on the Debian web site under Installation, to see how to build a new kernel. The instructions there are clearer than the others I've read.

Currently, nothing; `slink' is the code name for the unstable distribution, just as `hamm' is the code name for the stable distribution. When slink becomes ready for beta testing, it will become `frozen', then when it's released it becomes stable and we'll need another code name for unstable. Noel
[lynnd@IHS.COM: CLUE: [Fwd: Fwd: [humorix] Indian Legends Predicted Linux Revolution]]
fwd,fyfun, from a leader of the Colorado Linux Users & Enthusiasts forum...a little humor-rumor here. Art - Forwarded message from Lynn Danielson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Subject: Fwd: [humorix] Indian Legends Predicted Linux Revolution >From: James Baughn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [humorix] Indian Legends Predicted Linux Revolution > Indian Legends Predicted Linux Revolution NAVAJO NATION, NM -- A Native Amercian archeological convention held in northern New Mexico last week turned up some startling revelations. Evidence unearthed from ancient Indians seems to indicate that they predicted events in the modern computer industry. One archeologist explains, "Rock paintings, oral legends, and word meanings seem to foretell, in part, recent events." Rock paintings found near the Four Corners region depict scenes reminescent of today. "One painting shows a man with disheveled hair clutching huge wads of green paper. The man is surrounded by hoards of sad people handing over green sheafs of paper and staring into rectangular blue things. Another nearby rock painting shows a different scene. In it a huge animal -- what appears to be a penguin - -- is charging after the man with disheveled hair and green papers," one archeologist explained in a speech. Ancient Indian words are also suggestive. In the keynote address, a prominent archeologist said, "The ancient word 'whindowez' means 'white faced man staring into blue'. 'Mikroshopf' refers to a 'powerful enemy who sweeps from the North and conquers many'. Finally, 'Lennuhks' means 'great liberator'. I'd be willing to bet money that the Ancient Ones knew what was to come in regards to Microsoft, Linux, and the Open Source Revolution." One oral legend passed down through the generations matches current events almost perfectly. In it, a powerful enemy sweeps in and conquers all tribes. The enemy has unbeatable weapons. The conquered tribes slowly become assimilated into the enemy's kingdom. One wise man, however, develops a weapon that is invincible to the enemy. The wise man openly shares the secret of the weapon's construction to his fellow tribesman. They are able to destroy the enemy, which can't figure out how to produce the new weapon." The general consensus at the convention was that all known evidence points to an understanding of events to come thousands of years later. "We're not sure how the Ancient Ones knew about computers. We do know, however, that they were exactly right. Microsoft, the 'powerful enemy' from the legend, is failing because it can't complete its new weapon, Windows NT 5.0. Everyone else, already has a weapon, Linux, and they are kicking Microsoft's butt with it!" - --- James S.

These functions belong to the filesystem; X is simply a window/graphics system. In the filesystem, the equivalent to these would be symlinks (shortcut) and directories (folder). You can read about this in the Debian tutorial: http://www.debian.org/~hp/debian-tutorial.html X provides no default interface to the filesystem, so you have to use the shell from an xterm. However, there are X "file managers" which do provide a filesystem interface. Examples of X file managers include TkDesk (in its own package) and kfm (in the KDE packages). A non-X file manager is mc, also in its own package. > scandisk > fdisk does this, but it's run automatically when the computer starts.

Kind of depends on your window manager. WindowMaker (wmaker package) provides some nice graphical configuration.

To change the background color, try the command 'xsetroot -solid blue' or whatever you like; put it in your .xsession.

Far more easy method: 1. install ssh (from section non-us/net) 2. do "ssh -l root localhost" in an xterm to become root 3. in this root shell, start any X program to test it Ssh takes care of X11 forwarding automatically. This was done to make it easy to run X programs on a remote host and have them use the local display, but it goes equally well if you connect to the local host as another user. I admit ssh is overkill for this. But if you have enough memory, it is by far the easiest method. Remco
Installation of two-cd distributions with only one CD-ROM drive
Hi! Is there a strategy for the above problem? Simply mounting the other CD-ROM and just running apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't work, although the update fetches the distribution lists (after changing /etc/apt/sources.list to include contrib and non-free, of course).

RE: ping: sendto: Operation not permitted
This was the message I got when I had tried to put my local IP address in the LOCAL_IP in my ppp config file. When I fixed that by setting to 0.0.0.0 (it's dynamically assigned) all went well, to a point. I can now Ping, but get nothing back.

Re: debian 2.0, keyboard conflict with PCMCIA
Here is some more info from syslog, it seems like everything is loaded fine,
and then one of these hits:
Sep 5 21:11:36 ankle kernel: 3c589_release(0x0027cce4)
But it loads back up immediately after it finishes unloading.
And still, the machine goes for long periods of successful network activity
if I'm not typing on the console keyboard, these unload/load cycles only
occur when I type directly on the machine's own keyboard.
Eventually, it crashes.

Since the upgrade keeps libc5 on your system, there should be no problems. I don't recall if the upgrade removes libc4 (a.out), but if you have any binaries requiring libc4, you should probably replace them anyway.

Segmentation faults
I never had such a lot of segmentation faults before I have upgraded to Debian 2.0. I even had te push the reset-button after pine made the computer hang and there was no response to the keyboard or the mouse. The past few weeks reminded me of the time I was using Windows 3.1 for a lot of my work. Can it be a hardware problem? I got segmentation faults from efax, taper, lyx and pine. Taper gives a segmentation fault every time after it opened the info-file. I reinstalled it and rebuilt the info-file. In both cases it had no effect on the problem.

My system too often freezes
Hi, I've a Cyrix P166+ with 96 EDO Ram on an Asus motherboard PI55T2P4C and a Matrox Millenium MGA video card. My system runs under Debian Hamm. I often use Xemacs and Gnus (original deb packages) under X11 (3.3.2.3-1) and Wmaker (0.19 from slink). Too often, the system freeze when under X11 and the _only_ solution is to press the reset button :-( No way to have a console. I've read docs about set6x86 and i've removed it from rc.boot to be sure the problem doesn't come from a bad configuration of it.

The primary difference between ISDN in different countries is if the telco provides the NT or not.

Well, I once had a Zyxel omni.net which could talk several D-channel protocols but which was available either with or without NT. In Germany it was sold without NT as the telco provides it and the manual stated it was available with an internal NT e.g. in the USA. This is probably what the original poster was wondering about. No, I don't know of a universal ISDN TA that operates everywhere. > I don't know of a software that operates everywhere. And this is the part of the original question which I didn't understand. Usually you get an external ISDN device to circumvent any driver problems as they are usually connected to a serial port of the computer. Why would I need special Debian support for brand a, brand b etc?

Re: running root X programs
Another idea, the simplest one I could think of: in your startx script, add the line ``cat ~root/.Xauthority >> ~/.Xauthority'' just after ``serverargs="$serverargs -auth $HOME/.Xauthority"''. First startx as root to create the ~root/.Xauthority file and chgrp it so that only users in a group who locally access the machine can read it. Only problem is the file is re-created whenever root uses startx, but I'd start X as the normal user anyway.

error compiling xemacs 20.4 from debian source
I am trying to compile xemacs 20.4 withOUT gpm support because of the CTRL-Z error in the console. I got the three xemacs 20.4 files pertinant to building a debian package. I did a "dpkg-source -x xemacs20*dsc" then edited the debian/rules file to remove gpm support. For the actual build, I typed "dpkg-buildpacke -us -uc" from the top level of the xemacs source. A bit into the compilation, I get the following error: /home/garman/temp/xemacs20-20.4/lib-src/profile.c: In function `reset_watch': /home/garman/temp/xemacs20-20.4/lib-src/profile.c:51: too few arguments to function `gettimeofday' /home/garman/temp/xemacs20-20.4/lib-src/profile.c: In function `get_time': /home/garman/temp/xemacs20-20.4/lib-src/profile.c:64: too few arguments to function `gettimeofday' m Does anyone know what this problem is, and how I can fix it? Note: I also got the vanilla source, and unpacked in in /usr/local/src, trying to build my own xemacs 20.4 (versus a Deb package), and encountered the same error. Can someone suggest a viable solution? Thanks a million! Matt

Re: 2 net cards on the same network
Thanks, I want to do this because one card is an ATM card which is 155mb/sec but is in pre alpha stages in linux. I want the other card to be there as a backup in case the ATM fails. I guess with that setup I could just set both to the same IP and leave the ethernet car unconfigured unless the ATM card dies. BTW does anyone have a good script/something to test and see if an interface has failed? I'm thinking the best way to do this is have anouther computer connected to the server and to the network and have the second monitor the server and tell theserver it if the ATM card has failed.

upgrade queries
Forgive me for reintroducing a topic which has probably been done to death on the list in recent months, but I had to unsubscribe for most of the summer-months and haven't seem recent postings. I'm currently running Debian 1.3. I have the 2.0 binary CD and also the CD_autoup.sh script written by Craig Sanders. I'm hesitating about the upgrade though and I was wondering if someone could take the time to answer two questions: 1. What improvement in performance (or kinds of improvement) should I expect to notice? 2. I have in /usr/local a number of non-debian programs that I use a lot and that I'm very attached to (xv, rv_player). What are the chances that they would be broken because of the library upgrade? Thanks very much for any help or advice, Jim McCloskey

I think you would need to set up your Debian machine with samba acting as a primary domain controller. PDC support is experimental if present at all, as I recall (it is to be implemented for samba 2.0 IIRC). Then set your NT workstations to log in to the domain. Your NT workstations will already have to use passwords set on the Debian box for shares on the Debian box, but they will need local NT accounts to login. With domains, you are actually authenticated for login from a remote server too.

Jan, when you reboot after doing the 5 disks, etc., you should be in dselect. If not, type dselect. Then pick the method, which will be FTP, and just pick all the defaults, unless you want to pick an mirror site closer to where you are. Then pick your packages, and you're off and running.

After that I chose to install *the base system* via nfs but did not know "how to type" the name of nfs server. e.g. I tried to type 'debian.org/dist but it did not work. Could someone please explain to me how to install debian via nfs or ftp ? I mean which floppies should I prepare and how to type the name of the nfs server ? Of course I have other possibility to install the base system from 5 floppies but what then ? The file basecont.txt shows that the 5 floppies do not contain e.g. ftp. For now the only way I see to install debian on my computer is to buy distribution on CD-ROM but it would be faster(earlier) to install via ftp.

Slang vs. ncurses.
At first glance both Slang and ncurses seems to me comparable: They both intend to help the programmer accomodate the terminal. 1) Is it correct ? 2) can someone give a short comparison of these 2 libraries ? Thank you.
Re: 2 net cards on the same network
>does anyone know how to set up the routes to have 2 network >cards(differtent ip's) on the same network? The configs would be the same, except your default route would have to be one of the cards. Then, if the card fails, you'd delete the default route, and add it to the second card. Typically, this isn't utilized since you won't increase the bandwidth at all, unless some of your other devices on the network go through one card, and the rest go through the other cards. I do this with my NT file servers - the first NIC card sits on the network that feeds the rest of the house, and the second NIC connects to a small hub, which the backup server sit upon, so when ArcServe (backup software) is hammering the network, its not so apparent on the public side of the network throughout the rest of the house. I can back up the server, and get throughput close to 40Mb a second, without hampering my other workstations from accessing resources, say, the internet for example. Two NICs are typically used for a dual-homed system, where the segments are different for each NIC card. One card still has to be the default route for access to items external to the two segments.

Di you install debian packaged version? Did you get any errors during the installation phase?

2 net cards on the same network
does anyone know how to set up the routes to have 2 network cards(differtent ip's) on the same network? Thanks, Tod Detre
