ANNOUNCE: Crude hack for installing Debian thru the loopback device.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hello Folks on Debian-User, I have been using Debian for quite some time and am very happy with it. I have it installed on my (very) old Dell laptop and it runs perfectly. I want to do something different however. I have the Debian 2.0 (Hamm) CD-ROM from Cheapbytes. What I want to do is install Debian onto my D: hard drive partition in a file using the loopback device. The problem is that the Debian installer program seems hard-wired to offer me only /dev/hda1 but not /dev/loop0. I can switch to the second virtual console and mount the D: drive and use losetup to associate a loopback device with my file; but how can I get the installer to offer me /dev/loop0? You can find a preliminary ALPHA version here: http://www.weh.rwth-aachen.de/~jens/DropInDebian/ Get root.bin for installation from harddisk or resc1440.bin for floppy install. Beware: * ) You will not be forced to partition or even mount a harddisk, dinstall will nearly immediately offer to install the kernel and the base system. You have to change to the second console and mount the file from there. mount the file you want to install in on /target using /dev/loop7 as /dev/loop0 will not work (dinstall needs it to manipulate some files during the installation --- using loop0 will _not_ work). (BTW dd syntax differs a little bit: dd bs=x count=y /dev/zero image). * ) If the kernel does not work, you have to replace it with a one which is capable to use a loopback as root device (I didn't test the kernel, it should be a standard kernel_image with loopback root support, see howto --- It is late now and I want to go to bed). * ) I deliberatly removed all checks for a valid root device. As it is a quick hack you have to supply the right root and swap devices in /target/etc/fstab yourself. * ) You have to set up the initrd[gz].img yourself, too (see: http://www.gedanken.demon.co.uk/linux/looproot-2.html#ss2.3 ). IMPORTANT: Consider this ALPHA software: I successfully used it to install by booting from DOS, but not for installing from floppy, etc. Please report problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED] And as always: Be sure you know what you! Good Night and happy linuxing, Grimaldi P.S.: I will be Away From Keyboard till monday!! P.P.S.: Yes, I want to integrate it into dinstall. But the arrival of the looback root howto has increased the demand for support by debian, so I provide this preliminary version.

Re: Voice Chatscript
David Stern writes: I tried making my modem init string ATC0DT, but my modem still hangs up after about 10 s. That won't help. Try ATS7=255. That will tell the modem to wait 255 seconds for carrier. ISP-Connectivity mini-howto says: Chat sends your_init_string to the modem, then dials isp_number. It then waits for CONNECT, then .., so I'm thinking that maybe chat still expects CONNECT, even if carrier detect is overridden at the modem level. That would cause no further action, as occurs. This is misleading. chat is a very simple program that knows nothing about modems, dialing, carrier detect, or CONNECT. It just reads its standard input looking for the current 'expect' string and when it finds it writes the corresponding 'send' string to its standard output and moves on to the next expect-send pair. chat will not expect CONNECT unless you tell it to. man chat. -- John HaslerThis posting is in the public domain.

samba
hi, I have some problem with my samba config my network config is: 1 linux box and 1 win95 box. my network is ok, because I run ip masquerade on the linux box and it works. problem 1) I can see my win95 box from my linux box, but my win95 box dont see my linux box. It's probably a messed up in my config (smb.conf). 2) I have a printer on the win95 box (canon bjc-210) how can I config my linux box to print there? I looked in the howto, but it'smore like a cryptic language than a help file :). It say something about /etc/printcap, but nothing about inkjet printer. if I had some real config file, it will be great :) thanks, Benoit Joly email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
xemacs' HTML [html] mode?
I've been working on my personal web page with xemacs recently. Just today, it started acting goofy on its own. When I open xemacs 20.4 with my .html file, the first time I press the TAB key to indent for me, xemacs runs some things off across the bottom (the status area), ending with parsing prolog... Then my modline changes from (HTML), to (HTML [html]), and indent doesn't work properly (at all). I tried explicity going back to HTML mode (Meta-X html-mode), but when I hit TAB again, it just does the goofy [html] thing. This is driving me nuts. Any hints?

qmail-pop3d/xinetd/vchkpw -- my madness.
I currently have a server running qmail as its MTA. I would like to run
qmail-pop3d as my pop3 daemon but I can't seem to get checkpassword or vchkpw
to like the way debian handles shadow passwords. (i.e. with -lcrypt instead
of -lshadow...)
Is there anyone here running xinetd and qmail-popup+vchkpw that could show me
the light?
Here's my current config. While this works for virtual hosts, it doesn't work
for normal user accounts, so I am forced to run cucipop on another port for
those.
service pop-3
{
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= vpopmail
server = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
server_args = flounder.net /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
only_from = 0.0.0.0
}
Maybe there is an incredibly easy way of doing this that I'm missing...
anyone?

HOW: PRINTER INSTALL
I know this is simple, but how do I get my Okidata OL 410e installed at LPT0 (LPT1). magicfilter sets parameters, but I need something that sets up the printer. Like an installation script that creates a printer.conf file (or whatever name). I have 9 books here and they don't say how to do this really simple stuff. The Debian 2.0 install did NOT ask about the printer at all... Bob Barth EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Netscape error
Hi, This problem often occurs when somenone who is different from the person from who opened the Xsession try to run an X application.: To run an X application, you must have rights to dispay it. This can be done using the xhost command. Sorry, my english is so poor that I am not sure to be really clear. An example : I open a Xsession with 'franck' loggin I try to run Netscape as 'root', it doesn't work (root doesn't have rights to display on franck loggin screen) As franck, I do 'xhost +' Now, I can run and display netscape as root. Hope this help Franck Hi everyone, I have installed netscape and when I go and try to run it (not as root) I get this message Xlib: connection to :0.0 refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key Error: Can't open display: :0.0 Any idea what this is and how to fix it Thanks -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null --

Re: Voice Chatscript
David Stern [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hello, I'd like my computer to call up one of those automated voice business information systems, then execute some transactions by entering my user account information and make some selections from the menu. I'll need to execute this task repetitively while I'm away from home. I tried writing a chatscript, but my modem hangs up, presumably because there's no handshake on the other end (I hear the automated voice on the other end after answering, then after about 10 seconds my modem hangs up). I see chat is intended for use with pppd, and I didn't see any options to disable the handshake expectation. ---chatscript--- ABORT BUSY ABORT NO DIALTONE ATDT777- (phone no.) \d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d (more than enough time to answer) \d\d\d\d\d99#\c (hear dialogue, enter user info followed by #) [..never gets past the initial dialogue, my end hangs up after 10 s..] As other people have pointed out, it's not chat that's hanging up, it's your modem. chat knows nothing of how long to wait for a handshake from the remote modem, etc. Besides that, even if your modem didn't hang up, this wouldn't work. What's the modem supposed to do when it sees the ? It's not dialing anymore - you finished that ATDT line. The modem will think you're trying to send the string 9 to a remote modem, or that 9 is supposed to be some modem command. In any case, it's not going to work. To make it work, don't depend on the delays in chat to separate key tones - let the modem do the delays in the dialing and just think that it has to dial a long number before it hears anything. So, your chatscript would look like: ABORT BUSY ABORT NO DIALTONE +++ ATZ OK ATDT777-,,,999#, \d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d The +++ and ATZ are to set the modem to its default configuration when we start all this. Then, the long phone number given to the modem is what to dial; commas mean delay (how long is configurable in one of those S registers) - on some modems, you can use @ signs instead of commas for longer delays - check your modem manual. The \d's at the end say how long chat waits after telling the modem to start dialing before chat sends a return character, which will hang up the modem. (so that after doing what it needs to do, the modem isn't still sitting around waiting for some modem on the other end; remember, there's no way to tell in a voice conversation if that click you just heard was the other person hanging up or just line noise without asking them, so the modem won't be able to tell that the other end hung up after getting the # sign) Adjusting the numbers of commas and \d's should get this to work.

corrections to last post (all apologies)
to start with, the debian-rsync script should point to 'debian/', not '/debian/'. i realize the entire problem has to do with blocking out 'binary-*/' and 'disks-*' and then attempting to allow just the i386 stuff through with '+ *i386/'. the rsync works fine if i manually specify the directories to skip and don't attempt to make a rule and then modify it for a more simple setup. i've also tried setting the excludes without a '-' so it doesn't make an unbreakable rule with no avail. my rsync is functional with a specified script, so i don't really have a PROBLEM; i'm just wondering if the hamm version of rsync has a bug or a syntax error. _ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Quick Question
Hello Everyone, I have a quick question about linux/debian. Does anyone know of a way or a program that if you call your Modem (With it being offline), it will monitor the port and if it sees RING, the system will automagically start pon? What I am trying to do is have my home computer on and connected to a separate line, and be offline. Then if I need something from my computer from work or somewhere else besides home, I can dial my home number, the system will see an incoming call, the start the ppp/pon so I can telnet, ftp, web, to my machine. Kinda like diald in reverse. Has anyone ever heard of such? Just wondering as I was looking through dselect and didn't see anything. I am running Debian Slink, diald, pppd, I have slip and ppp compiled into the 2.0.35 kernel. If you have, please let me know. Thanks... Mike

Hi, Maybe I didn't explain very well (poor english mine!). As I said, I have three NIC's (the linux is a masq machine). The tcp/ip part is working ok, since all my internal machines can reach internet (http,telnet,etc). In the smb.conf I added the correct ip's for all interfaces. I even can connect to winnt machines with smbclient. Better, I can connect to machines in all three networks (192.168.9.0, 192.168.10.0 and 200.136.52.0) from the linux server. The problem is with the winnt machines trying to connect to my linux box thru the valid ip. (one of my nic's have a valid ip). 192.168.9.0 eth0-| | 192.168.10.0 | eth1-| |---winnt/win95--- | | |valid ip | |---eth2--|-winnt- linux box I thought MacAddr was the problem because it was the only strange thing I could notice from the winnt machines outside my dept. Wins is based in MacAddr, isn't it? Should I put the linux box IP in the lmhosts of the wins server? Could this help? Thanks, On Thu, 24 Sep 1998, Jens B. Jorgensen wrote: Ok, first of all it isn't the MacAddr that's needed, it's your IP. Now, the machines that can't reach your box, are they on the same physical network (for at least one of your ethernet cards)? samba usually only sets up one interface and that's the one that corresponds to the IP address which matches the host name (at last with the default smb.conf).

new SCSI driver
I purchased a new PCI based SCSI card locally and was dismayed to find that the 2.0.3x kernels did not support this card. I went surfing and found the linux ready driver for this card (source code no less!) So my question here is: What do I have to do to fully integrate this new SCSI driver into the kernel? OR would the SCSI driver expert like to do this for all of the Linux folks? I'd be happy to forward the source files to that person. Details: card is KW-910U from Kouwell Corp. It uses the 9100U chip set from INITIO Corp. The driver handles the 9100U and 9100UW chip sets. I suspect that other brands of PCI SCSI cards also use one of these chip sets. -- -= Sent by Debian 1.3 Linux =- Thomas Kocourek KD4CIK @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@westgac3.dragon.com Remove @_@ for correct Email address --... ...-- ... -.. . -.- -.. - -.-. .. -.-

Re: Quick Question
There are two things I would like to add.(Hope you find it interesting) 1. When I installed xringd, it could not find the modem and -m option did not work.So I recompiled xringd and explicitly defined modem device as /dev/ttyS1 2. When you start pon it resets the modem and after you do poff, xringd will NOT detect incoming calls. I did not find any clever way to overcome this problem, except making cron execute start-stop-daemon -stop -s HUP xringd every hour. This resets xringd and thus the modem.

Re: samba problems
WINS maps NetBIOS names to IP addresses. When it comes time to send a packet the MAC Address is gotten through arp. NetBEUI does sit right on top of ethernet (and thus uses MAC Addresses) but this is not the same thing and Linux doesn't support NetBEUI. To complicate things, a NetBT (NetBIOS over TCP/IP, the proper name for this type of windows networking, described in internet RFCs 1001 and 1002) node may operate in different modes. A node may be either a B node, P node, M node, or H node. The difference is mainly how names are resolved (and claimed, etc.). In short, B nodes use broadcast only to resolve names, P nodes only use a specific WINS server(s), and M H nodes use combinations thereof. I believe WinNT machines default to operating as Hybrid. This means that first an NT machine will broadcast and if that doesn't work it will contact the WINS servers it's using. That's why I asked about the 'interfaces' line since this controls what addresses nmbd (the daemon responsible for NetBT Name Service) responds to. You may want to use 'tcpdump' to see what packets are shooting around that ethernet. Also, do you have WINS servers set up? Do you have your samba configured to register with them?

X on a laptop
Take a deep breath, I'm new to Linux. I'm trying to set up the svga x-server on my laptop, but I have no idea which monitor to choose and how to calculate the modelines. I've done this yesterday on my desktop and it worked, so I hope to have a basic understanding of what it's all about. But what monitor do you choose, when you are using a 12,1'' (800x600) TFT display? Any hints would be much appreciated.

Re: /usr/local
On Tue, 22 Sep 1998, Paulo J. da Silva e Silva wrote: I would like to ask a question. I noticed that some important packages in Hamm (Latex and Emacs, for example) write in /usr/local during installation (at least they create directories there). Well, our local system administrator is having problem with this. It has decided to mount /usr/local using nfs as read only (then you would have an unique copy of /usr/local in all machines). When he tries to install any package that writes in /usr/local it aborts installation. Trying to write to /usr/local is not a problem. The problem is when a package tries to write to /usr/local and it exits with an error status. It is Debian policy that this should not happen. For example, emacs19.postinst says: for dir in /usr/local/share/emacs/19.34/site-lisp; do test -d $dir || mkdir -p $dir true done The true part makes sure that if /usr/local is read-only, this will not produce an error even if it fails. If you find any package which fails because of not using this or some other equivalent trick, please report it as a bug. Thanks.
Installation Issues
I recently installed Debian Linux, the most recent version, and have had difficulty installing Netscape and Staroffice. It seems to need Motif or something similiar. Man pages and readme files have helped my setup of Debian Linux and xwindows. However, I need help learning what files are necessary for Netscape and Staroffice to work (manual links might have to be done). I already know that Libc5 files are needed for Netscape (4.05) and Staroffice (4). Perhaps the best work around is download the latest release of Netscape and Staroffice. However, I can't do this until I have a working internet connection (it dails but cannot establish handshaking). My solution: re-install Debian Linux, selecting only the necessary packages needed. Then, configure the ppp connection, using pap (which ppp files do I edit?). Then, use one of the internet applications (which one?) to download the most recent release of Netscape for Linux (Debian has an installer, how do I use it?), then download StarOffice through Netscape. What Debian packages do I need? I would like, but do not need: peer network, network server, newsmail, etc. I just need a workstation with some development programs and most especially internet connectivity and office suite applications (a few games would help with creative energy).

It works fine when I run it at -bpp 8, but at -bpp 16 it starts with a completely black background and the mouse freezes as soon as I place the xterm window on the screen (still using TWM). After a couple of minutes the mouse will unfreeze and I can move it around the edge of the screen, but if I move it over the xterm window it will freeze again. Does anyone know what to do about this? Perhaps you have more than 16 meg of ram? I had a similar problem with a 5426; it work before a memory upgrade, not after. Although my symptoms were quite different. see: /usr/lib/X11/doc/README.cirrus for more information. Yes, I have 32 meg of ram. So you mean that I have *too much* ram? As in it would work if I took out 16 meg? How unexpected. Is there any modification I can make to XF86Config to get this to work? Thanks, David Densmore [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Other folk will have suggestions that are perhaps better. I find that using the first letter from each word in a sentance or phrase (including a mix of capitalization and punctuation) makes for easy to remember, almost impossible to guess passowrds. Obviously, don't pick well known phrases: Tb,ontb;, is certianly a bad choice.) Use them as timely mantras, and change them when they get out of date. Keith

3c905 driver installed, but not in ifconfig??
I have a 3com 3c905 Ethernet card that I can't quite get to work. I have turned _OFF_ the PNP OS option in my bios btw. : I recompiled the 2.0.35 kernel including Network support, and the 3c59x driver as a module. When I boot in Linux, the driver loads fine, says it detects the card at IRQ5(which is correct), and the rest of the info looks fine. However, when I log in and type 'ifconfig' the only device listed is the Local Loop Back, and I can't ping an IP... it says Network Unreachable With the eth0 interface not in ifconfig I don't find this surprising...
