apt-get wants to remove my packages ?

Phillips PCA20TV TV card
This is still kind of hypothetical at this stage as I think I need isapnptools installed even to get my soundcard working , but the hardware HOWTO had a link to PCA10TV which no longer works; the ftp site is down or no longer existant. Does anyone know if I was able to find this package whether it would work on PCA20TV and whether I need some kind of plug and play tools? Many thanks Angus CLaydon .

The trouble is that Dale made libc conflict with the only dpkg in slink.
APT and dist-upgrade considers a new libc6 to be more important than dpkg
so sacrifices dpkg. Neat eh? No this is not a 'bug' the entire point of
dist-upgrade is to purge obsolete packages.
I might twiddle with this and see if I can tweak things to be better
behaved, but that might cause side effects for people upgrading from
rexx or bo.
This libc should have NEVER been allowed into slink when it conflicts with
dpkg.

If it was the kernel opening the file, there wouldn't be any problem, just like there's no problem with ordinary executables. That explains the weird behavior I was having when I tried getting a counter example working. I've been taking a course in OS and when I implemented this in my kernel I had to do two opens because of the way I was setting up my address space. If I had implemented it right, I could have seeked back to the original open file. But considering I never got to multiuser stuff, this wasn't a problem.

Re: why are win/dos files UPPER CASE ?
Hello, Windows (and dos) has no concept of case, Linux chooses to show them as uppercase. This is not completely true. For Samba, it's actually DOS choosing to show them in upper case. If you have Win95, you'll see long names in the correct case, 8.3 names in all-caps. That said, Samba does allow you to mangle the names. See: man smb.conf You will also note that if you mount a fat partition in linux all the files have the x bit turned on, even txt files. If you are mounting it directly, you can choose the case, and in fact I believe the default is lower-case. See: man mount HTH Jiri [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On Sat, 5 Dec 1998 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In the access part I selected Harddrive and I put in the directory where I put the packages.gz file it said it found it but then after I selected the packages I wanted it gave me a ton of errors When you say you put the packages.gz file this indicates that you've gotten the file from a CD or from an FTP site, etc. The location of the .deb packages is relative to the location of the packages.gz file, so if you've copied/moved this file, you'll need to point dselect to where the packages.gz file came from (or close thereby; I'm not sure of the exact relationship). The packages.gz file is merely a table of contents for the many .deb packages. Pointing dselect to a packages.gz file won't do you much good unless you can also get to the actual .deb packages. Let's make this easier; what tools do you have? Do you have a Debian CD, or do you have network access? If you have network access, probably the easiest way to install is to tell dselect to use the ftp method. It'll ask for a site to connect to; although ftp.debian.org is pretty busy, it's the one I always choose, simply because as a relative beginner myself I take the smooth road; also since I'm in the US, it seems to be the closest site to me that I know of. Then it'll ask about the path; mine is simply: debian I answer the next couple of questions as stable; then main, contrib, and non-free. Then I'd do an Update, then go into Select and mark the packages I want to install, then Install, then Quit. If you don't have network access but you have a CD, you do a similar sort of thing, but you tell it to use the CD access; I've only tried this once and, being a newbie, didn't have a whole lot of success, but I'm sure if you have a CD and you reply to the list instead of just to me you'll get someone's help who knows what they're doing on this issue. If you don't have either, you're getting into territory I'm not at all familiar with. But just as you can't install Netscape on a Win95 box if you don't have access to the Netscape installer via network or CD, or etc, you can't install Debian packages unless you have access to those packages via network or CD or etc. As I said, just having the packages.gz file only gives you the listing of available packages; it doesn't actually give you the packages. So let us know what kind of tools you have (network access, Debian CD, etc), and we'll go from there. -- Kent West [EMAIL PROTECTED] KC5ENO - Amateur Radio: When all else fails. Linux - Finally!

w3-el, Howto?
Having become more comfortable with Linux after playing with it for a couple of months, I thought it might be good to fire up dselect and see what neat packages there might be. One I found interesting is w3-el. Near as I can tell from the description, it's a graphical web browser that doesn't require X. This is EXACTLY what I've been wanting. (My home machine is too underpowered to run Netscape (taking 15-20 minutes just to start up), and lynx doesn't let me see images or view frame-based pages, etc.) Problem is, I know nothing about emacs (apparently required for w3-el), and I can't find any documentation for w3-el. I can start emacs(20?), and after pressing 7 or 8 different key strokes finally figure out how to exit emacs, but I haven't a clue as to how I run w3-el from within it (or beside it, or below it, or above it, or behind it, or in front of it). So two questions: 1) Is this what I've been wanting: a graphical web browser that does not require X? Or have I misunderstood its capabilities? 2) How do I get started with it?

Re: PPP connection speeds...
Hi,
So how do I improve the browser speeds??
Again, I have the exactly same set up in both redhat debian. I must be
missing something here...
I have three ISPs, the best ISP works well in bothe RH debian. But the
other two only works ok in redhat, not debian. I believe they are using
relatively old technologies..
Please help...

None of these will change the speed of your ppp connection.
One other thing that I found is that It seemed that lynx's transfer rate
is much faster than netscape. That's why I had a go on installing the
package squid.
I think you may be confusing the performance of your browser with the speed
of your ppp connection.
Also, Redhat has got a RPM called caching-nameserver. Do we have one in
debian??
Install bind and give the correct answers when you run bindconfig and you
will get a caching-only nameserver.

Use ssh-keygen with an empty password[1] and follow the instruction in ssh(1): Ssh implements the RSA authentication protocol automati- cally. The user creates his/her RSA key pair by running ssh-keygen(1). This stores the private key in .ssh/iden- tity and the public key in .ssh/identity.pub in the user's home directory. The user should then copy the iden- tity.pub to .ssh/authorized_keys in his/her home directory on the remote machine (the authorized_keys file corre- sponds to the conventional .rhosts file, and has one key per line, though the lines can be very long). After this, the user can log in without giving the password. RSA authentication is much more secure than rhosts authentica- tion. I just tried it and it works in the way you probably want. Torsten Footnotes: [1] The use of empty passphrases is strongly discouraged in ssh-agent(1).

Instead, you said 'xhost + localhost', which disables X access control (anybody on any machine anywhere can connect to your X server, and say watch the password you type when you 'su root') and incidentally lets localhost connect if access control was enabled. A much better way is to su to root, and then do something like XAUTHORITY=/home/me/.Xauthority export XAUTHORITY (assuming root uses some Bourne-shell derivative), replacing me with your username.

Jaz 1Gb on hamm dist
I have recently gotten v2.0 installed on my desktop, however, due to space restrictions on my primary disk I am keeping the binaries, etc on a Jaz 1Gb cartridges. These cartridges were low leveled by the SYMBIOS 22801 controller prior to being formatted by MS-DOS 6.22 MS-DOS 6.22 scandisk reported no errors or surface flaws. Currently the Jaz device resides at /dev/sdc2, SCSI ID 6 on the A channel of the controller. In all version of DOS that I own (going back to PC-DOS v2.04) when I boot with the Iomega drivers I can read the cartridges without any problems, however, from Linux I get a mount error that reads: MSDOS filesystem not found or too many devices mounted. Since this is the only device I am trying to mount when this error occurs and I have successfully mounted the CD-ROM I do not think I am out of mount points. I have tried the following methods: mount -t vfat /dev/sdc2 /jaz mount -t msdos /dev/sdc2 /jaz mount /dev/sdc2 /jaz mount -t nfs /dev/sdc2 /jaz All return the same error about incorrect/unknown file system. Can anyone enlighten me as to the correct method to mount this bugger? - BOHICA
X 11 vs. window manager (was: Re: Make xconfig)
I haven't been on this list long enough to know if this has strayed too far off-topic (since it isn't debian-specific) to include the cc: to the list, but I'm sure I'll hear about it if that's the case ;-) X windows (or X or X11 or X11R6, all names for the same thing) is the displayserver that creates windows on a graphical screen. You can run it by itself,but normally don't since there is no easy way to control the windows you create. A window manager is usually started after X, it puts frames and titles on the windows, allows you to easily move or resize them, and gives pop-up menus for various functions. The window manager is what gives the look and feel to the display. Common window managers are mwm (Motif) and fvwm2. There is also an fvwm95 that gives the look of Microsoft Windows 95, and several others such as fvwm (the predecessor to fvwm2), olwm (with the old Sun OpenLook look), and cde/kde. I believe the X HOWTO goes into most of these in pretty good detail and may help you decide which ones you might want to try out.

probs: color printing with canon bjc620
hello debians
i configured my printcap to print with my canon bjc620 using the bjc600 filter
it works fine -- but only black and white (i´ve tested with SO5, Netscape, xv)
i remember some time ago it works! (this was on my server which is momentaly
down)
i´m using
ii magicfilter 1.2-21 automatic printer filter.
ii lpr 5.9-27 BSD lpr/lpd line printer spooling system
is there anyone who prints color with this machine??
or: is there a better (special filter) for the bjc-620??
any hint is welcome
until next mail ;)

Not that simple (was Re: ICQ over IP Masquerading)
[long boring :) text removed] You need to study a bit more into the subject to back yourself up before laughing at other people. ICQ worked out of the box for me. I just did: /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a masquerade -P all -D0.0.0.0/0 -S192.168.99.0/24 Of course you can make icq connect to icq server and show yourself as online without any additional configuration. *BUT*, when others try to send you message, they have to send it through server, and that is about all they can do about you. Let them try to initialize a chat with you. Let them try to send a file to you. Let them try to initialize a internet phone application with you. I'm quite positive they will *NOT* work. In other words, anything that requires direct host connection will *NOT* work. With my configuration, it will work. The only situation where my configuration will not work is when both machines are behind the same firewall, which could be what Hamish pointed out early in this thread. When I did that, I found weird entries in the masq table. I haven't tried machines behind different firewalls. Next I'll try socks 5 when I have time. -- Guoqiang Dai [EMAIL PROTECTED]

2.0.36 compile prob
I've just tried compiling 2.0.36 with SMP support on my brand new and shiny debian box (hamm), but it broke halfway through. I'm asking the question here as I think I'm missing an important system file, and was hoping somebody would be able to tell me which .deb it's in. make menuconfig and make dep; make clean work fine, but after a fair degree of success with make zImage I get; -- gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.0.36/include -E -D__ELF__ -D__SMP__ -traditional trampoline.S -o trampoline.s as86 -0 -a -o trampoline.o trampoline.s make[1]: as86: Command not found make[1]: *** [trampoline.o] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.36/arch/i386/kernel' make: *** [linuxsubdirs] Error 2 -- It compiles cleanly without SMP support (i.e. with SMP=1 commented out in /usr/src/linux/Makefile). Thanks in advance. P.S. not really sure what I'm doing with dpkg yet, as I've just switched from using Red Hat (which may explain a few things). -- Graham Ashton
Fw: install hamm from Inet
I MUST do a 0 floppy install, lacking a floppy. :-) I start to wonder why this is done now-a-days. They are cheap and convienent for many things. Although, having them may create security problems for some. But I'm babling :-) My IBM 8870 at the cellars has one. It's useful for many things. The best thing is: it heats up the hole house cause of it's power consumption. But I'm kidding :-) Now tried 2 install hamm, also failed. dinstall says: File Error: There is a problem extracting the Base System from base2_0.tgz. I believe the utility is called star. Try cd'ing to /target and running star base2_0.tgz from tty2. Maybe you can get a better error message than File Error. I.e. this won't fix your problem, but let us know what the problem is. star base2_0.tgz doesn't work, star uses standard input. I'm fully used to it, tried star base2_0.tgz and echo base2_0.tgz | star. Both result in Error in archive format or so. Ben

backpack CD on Toshiba laptop
Anyone willing to educate me on how to mount a parallel port CD in Linux? All the HOWTO's, FAQ-O-MATIC's and FAQ pages for both Debian and Linux that I can find say things like after mounting an external CD device through the parallel port... without ever actually telling me HOW to mount the doggone thing. Since this particular laptop doesn't have a built in CD and the only PCMCIA NIC I currently have is a Xircom and thus not supported by the installation drivers. The CD is so that I can get access to the LinuxPress distribution CD and install the aditional PCMCIA support sot hat _then_ I can go online and get everything else installed. Responses? Flames? - Ed
diald documents
Where can I find some documentation that is specific to the Debian way or running diald? I've been reading the docs in the /usr/doc/diald directory, but they don't seem to touch on how the .deb file setup the stuff in the /etc/ dirs. Thanks, Chris
SQUAKE SVGALIB problems
Well, I tried to use xquake but my system locked up 3 times after about two seconds of use. I then decided to try out squake however when I run squake I recieve the error: svgalib: Cannot get I/O permissions. I checked the permissions on the lib files and changed them so group and user could read and execute them, but there was no change. Suggestions? Panz
Re: SQUAKE SVGALIB problems
As root: chmod u+s /usr/games/squake It needs root to use svgalib, and permissions are then dropped to play quake.
