The CPU fan and the case fan were not blocked by dust and both appeared to be running at full speed. There was a little dust on the tips of the fins, but no fin was completely blocked or covered by dust. As for a kernel build, I'm doing a second one right now as I write this in Netscape on X11. ...

Re: fetchmail + procmail setup
Hi,
Could you please clarify my understanding??
I read the document about procmail. I don't understand why we need
to use .forward.(what does it do wanyway??)
In the man page, it says if we use
fetchmail -v --mda formail -s procmail
Then all the mails arrived will be going through procmail
am i missing anything??
thx.

I was emphasizing the fact that I've never seen a console program crash the kernel. My hardware has been the same since Debian 1.3.1. I never had this kind of problem before Debian 2.0, and I don't see anything similar in Win95. Keep in mind what I said about using dpkg manually to sucessfully install the same package(s) that crashed dselect/apt. Also, if it were a hardware problem, I'd be seeing other Linux software (unrelated to dselect/apt/dpkg) having similar and frequent problems, but that is not what is happening on my system. In fact, IIRC, I've never seen the 'General protection/failure' message from any other software. I realize this is a rare problem, because few if anyone is seeing it, but its clear to me that its not a hardware problem, even though I understand that you don't believe me, and you are not the only one to tell me its not Debian software thats causing the problem. It may be related to filesystem problems I had earlier, yet fsck says that now my filesystem is fine. I even ran a grep on all of my filesystem files (except /proc & /dev) hoping to trigger an invalid and/or broken file with errors, but that didn't find anything wrong either. Next time I upgrade, I'll do it manually with dpkg; maybe the problem is with dselect/apt. I also promise that I'll send a failure report to this list if I can just find one of these errors to be repeatable. So far they are all transient. -- Ed C.

> But, ... > my target is to bring the .wav - files back to > audio-format to create audio-cd's which I can > run in my "stereo-box-cd-player" > Is there any way to do this, maybe a converting- > program ? There is no need to convert the files. cdrecord can write .wav files directly to CD-R (I've done this once or twice). From the cdrecord man page: If a filename ends in .au or .waw the file is con sidered to be a structured audio data file. Cdrecord assumes that the file in this case is a Sun audio file or a Microsoft .WAV file and extracts the audio data from the files by skipping over the non-audio header information. In all other cases, cdrecord will only work correctly if the audio data stream does not have any header. Because many structured audio files do not have an integral number of blocks (1/75th second) in length, it is often necessary to specify the -pad option as well. cdrecord recognizes that audio data in a .WAV file is stored in Intel (little- endian) byte order, and will automatically byte- swap the data if the CD recorder requires big- endian data. Cdrecord will reject any audio file that does not match the Red Book requirements of 16-bit stereo samples in PCM coding at 44100 sam ples/second. -Jon Burchmore

Lowmemory Installation Help
I am currently attempting to install debian 2.0 (hamm) on a 486-25MHz computer with 4MB of memory using floppy disks. When I go through the installation program, everything seems to work okay, after about five trials. I always seem to get stuck at the point where I have a choice of making a bootable floppy or booting from hard disk Lilo says I have bad disk geometry 0/0/0. Which is wierd because in the partioning program run by the lowmem disk, I had to set the cyclinders,head, and sectors through the experts menu. After writing the partion table, the disk or the operating system "forgets" these settings somehow, and I have to retype them in. The installation program on the rescue disk also "forgets" right after I get done type them in!! The hard drive I'm using is a Conner 420A hard disk with 826 cylinder,63 sectors and 16 heads. I've also tried making a boot floppy, but the installation program seems to hang when creating a filesystem on that floopy. I don't know what is happening being new to this system, but I would appreciate any advice or help you could give me. Thanks, Sean McIlwain

This a cheap hack, off the top of my head and untested.
Use pppconfig to set up named providers ispA, ispB, and ispC, in addition
to 'provider'. Put this in /usr/local/bin/pon and make it executable:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/pppd call ${1:-provider} ipparam ${1:-provider}
Put this in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/00nameservers and make it executable:
#!/bin/sh
cp /usr/local/lib/nameservers/$6 /etc/resolv.conf
Create /usr/local/lib/nameservers/. Create four 'resolv.conf' files with
appropriate contents and put them there, naming them provider, ispA, ispB,
and ispC.
> ...but also the right pap-secrets file, I believe...
Nope. Not a problem. pppconfig will create a line for each isp and pppd
will pick the one that matches the username it was given.

As long as you use a different userID for each isp you'll be fine. If you
use the same userID you will have to use 'remotename'.

creating audio-cds from .wav-files
Hi, yesterday I buyed a SB - AWE 64 value Soundblaster-Card and sucked some sound-programs from debian/slink I can: plug in my audio-stereo to the line-in SB than can mix the input-pegel with `xmixer' record the audio-data with `sound-recorder' and play the generated `XXX.wav' with `splay' that works pretty funny and Im very happy to get this running. But, ... my target is to bring the .wav - files back to audio-format to create audio-cd's which I can run in my "stereo-box-cd-player" Is there any way to do this, maybe a converting- program ? the hint is, if possible, I like to: 1. burn some LP'S to CD's 2. make DEMO-CD's from tape-recording's during live or studio-gigs; Im musican this, however, will be very highly recommended, if possible Any ideas, or tips thanks a lot -- wish You all the very best Peter

new LILO won't install a new boot sector ...
So I have a laptop that has been running slink since August. I just downloaded the new lilo and tried to install a new kernel via lilo. I get the error message : [EMAIL PROTECTED] sudo lilo First boot sector has a pre-21 LILO signature lilo -q does not show the new kernel has been installed. In rebooting, the new kernel is in fact not installed. Any one know if there is a way to update a lilo 20 boot record so that lilo 21 will install? Or do I have to bite the bullet and do an fdisk /mbr and boot from a disk? -Seth -- "It is by will alone I set my mind in motion"

how to set up delete and Num_Lock under X Window ?
I. Under X Window backspace works in the standard way but delete works exactly the same way as backspace. How can I achieve the two keys named delete working under X Window in all applications (e.g. xterm, emacs, mathematica, netscape, vim,..) in the standard way (erasing the sign after cursor not before, like backspace does) ? On the console (without X Window) delete works in the standard way (erases signs after cursor). II. In many applications (e.g.:netscape, mathematica) the keys from the "numeric keyboard" does not work (when push some key it is heard "bip"). Pushing Num Lock does not give anything ? To be more precisely I have quite big mess. In Mathematica3.0, netscape4.5 any of the keys from numeric keyboard does not work. Under Netscape the standard delete (not the one from the numeric keyboard) works in the standard way (erases signs after cursor) but in Mathematica front end delete works exactly the same way as backspace. I have read in keyboard-howto that it is rather needed to define for each applications separately the keymap to get delete and numeric keyboard working in the standard way under X Window. If anybody has the keyboard (delete and numeric keyboard) working in the standard way, please help me (e.g. some input code for .inputrc, .Xmodmap, .emacs,...). I use debian2.0, kernel-2.0.36, xserver-3.3.2.3-2. Thanks in advance Please send the answer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] because the mailing list is too busy for me so I could miss the answer. Jan Krupa

That sucks, I've had the entire system go down on me as a part of this, but I can't say why it hasn't.

Well, actually I had a hamm/frozen that I upgraded through slink/frozen, and I had no problems. Now I have hamm/stable, and it blows. My problems are not specific to dselect. I just noticed it there first I think because I was doing a lot of installing. Question one question. Could you tell if the General Protection/failure messages were from dselect, or the kernel.

Correct. Although what I would recommend is not trying for a full news feed. That is a T1 in and of itself. Just grab the groups that are requested and tell the people up front they have to request news groups. > I understand that it is no great drain to forward e-mail as it is received > from the user and ftp to remote sites via my machine works similarly to web > browsing in that the file is downloaded to my machine first and then > distributed to the user. Is this also correct ? Close. When FTPing the file is not, technically, downloaded to your machine first and then distributed to the user. It is diwnloaded to your machine *as* it is distributed to the user. > Is there anything I have forgotten to ask (or don't know to ask) ? Well, if you do do it, something that you may think about is looking at "at" and "cron" extensively. Watch the utilization on your link to see when the users are hitting it and then schedule bandwidth intensive stuff for the off-hours. With at and a handmade perl script you could also have a scheduled FTP process that people can request files from with email. Just tell them the time the system will try to retrieve the file and approximately when it will be there. Hrm... Oh, and definately, definately setup a proxy and insist that your users use it whenever possible. I run a small lan here at home and my proxy does get hit often enough to help and that is only with me and my parents on the network. If you get ~20 people dialing in chances are a lot of sites will be hit repeatedly. Like the comic syndicates, pages they email to one another, etc. -- Steve C.

The Web Page I am trying access is www.columbiahouse.com. I try to access it from either Netscape or Lynx but both get hung up on waiting for the host to reply. This is on my machine inside my firewall. My set up is a two machine network. One is my gateway with a masquarading firewall with the following rules: ipfwadm -F -p deny ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0 -D 0.0.0.0/0 I can get to the web site from the gateway using Lynx (can't test Netscapr. No X.). This only happens for certain web sites. For the most part, I can access the web from the machine inside the firewall just fine. Now I have just tried upping my kernel to 2.0.36 to find out it still uses PPP v2.2.0. But the new kernel does not fix the problem. I have tried using an older kernel 2.0.32, but that did not work. I have also tried different kernel configs: with & without 'optimize as router and not host', 'always defragment', and 'use large windows'. Any other suggestions?

calculating bandwidth requirements
Hello All, I am looking at setting up a dial-in machine to have a permanent connection to the net so that family and friends can have accounts with me rather than with seperate ISP's and therefore share the costs. It is intended that all normal services (e-mail, ftp, web browsing, newsgroups etc) will be available. Thanks to the help I received previously, I understand that the data is downloaded via my high speed link and then distributed to the dial in user who requested it meaning that the high speed link is idle for much of the time while the requesting user reads the information thusly provided. It also seems apparent that someone who never waits for a page to finish loading in their browser before clicking the next link will be more of a bandwidth hog than others. Having said that, is there some rough guide to calculating the mimimum bandwidth required to support a given number of users with 56K connections to my machine ? eg.0 - xx users :64K (xx + 1) - yy users : 128K (yy + 1) - zz users : 256K etc... Also I think it is correct that I can download the newsgroups to my own machine and therefore newsgroup reading, whilst requiring a dial in line and processing and disc access time, does not use the band width except for when I download the information for redistribution ??? I understand that it is no great drain to forward e-mail as it is received from the user and ftp to remote sites via my machine works similarly to web browsing in that the file is downloaded to my machine first and then distributed to the user. Is this also correct ? Is there anything I have forgotten to ask (or don't know to ask) ? Thank you all very much for your help. Ivan.
exim: my contrib :)
hi debianers,
after some struggling with exim (mostly due to myself, not to this nice
program) i've found a setup that could be interesting for other people
beside me. so i'd like to contribute it, with the hope it can help someone
and maybe help myself too in bettering my config.
BACKGROUND
i've a small net at home. i've some mboxes at my ISP. i've always had the
problem to separate outbound mail (goint to the Net) from locan (lan) mail.
exim seemed to offer a simpler way, compared to sendmail, and i never liked
smail that much. so i started playing with exim. i couldn't get anything
working with 1.62 (coming with debian 1.3), but i could get something
useful with 1.92 (coming with debian 2.0). here it is.
RELEVANT CONFIG LINES
i set up exim as a permanently connected machine (don't remember how it is
called during the setup, but i hope you can get it), and i added those
lines at the very beginning of exim.conf, my isp address as a macro, to be
used after:
ISPname = my.isp
then, in the router config, i create those two routers:
lan:
driver = lookuphost
transport = smtp
# my.home is my local domain
domains = "*.my.home"
internet:
driver = domainlist
transport = smtp
route_list = "* mail.my.isp bydns-a"
NOTE:mail.my.isp is my isp smarthost
to rewrite address on outgoing mail, i used this rewriting rule:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] "${if !match{$header_to:} [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL
PROTECTED] fail
} Ffr
that should mean: if the mail is not going to anything inside my.home,
change domain to ISPname.
TEST
i haven't fully tested my config. i tried with different addresses and saw
that:
- local delivery is still working
- lan delivery is working
- internet messages get spooled, waiting for delivery with adresses
properly rewritten
in the next future, i'll try to test the whole process
STILL TO BE DONE
what i'd like to get is the ability to properly rewrite headers based on
sender identity and message destination. this set up would be more general
and usefull if i could do something like this:
msg frommsg to proper sender address
==
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
i've tried with rewriting rules with linear lookup, but failed until now
i've also tried adding and removing headers, but nothing happens

i'm not smart enough to promise anything, forget about any warranty. :)

ftping StarOffice in small doses
Hi all, I want to download StarOffice but with it being 70Mb I don't fancy having an open line for seven hours plus. Does anyone know of an ftp program that can download in chunks at a time and doesn't mind frequent interruptions. I think in the past someone mentioned 'cftp' but I can't find any information on that. Does anyone know if StarOffice 5 is libc5 or libc6. Libc6 would be better from my point of view, if it's not can anyone recommend an alternative. Thanks

Re: Maus/ was: Debian Hamm used
Off topic, but educational. Thomas Adams writes: > Hmm, does anybody out there in Germany > know Art Spiegelman at all? :) A few might. A court in Sonneberg handed a public prosecutor, one Hoenninger from Meiningen, free license confiscate whatever the publishing company distributing "Maus" in Germany had in store that offended him, his 40 cops, or the dog (well, they were allegedly facing 8 employees). That was in July 1995. The Hoenninger decided in August 1995 that a "Maus" ad poster should be considered nazi propaganda (it showed a swastika). The same month the case collapsed, and most publications were handed back - but not "Maus". The Hoenninger announced further investigation at his discretion. In April 1996, the Hoenninger asked in another shot at this publisher (seemingly following up on the case of "Maus" as nazi propaganda) 480 police departments all over germany to search bookstores (a total of 1200) and confiscate whatever publications they deemed offensive. Public support enabled the publisher to succeed in a higher court, which basically dismissed the case entirely in March 1998. The Hoenninger is currently appealing this decision. Remember the name.

We'll see how it goes. Following another thread on this list, I got hold of a 1440k image for a Slink boot disk. This one behaved exactly like the Hamm disk, hanging on the "md driver".

to fetchmail -v --mda formail -s procmail
I also have a .procmailrc in the home directory.. But, when I dial

So what did I do wrong?? Do I have to put .procmailrc in the root

X fonts problems. nothing available for helvetica
Hi there. Appologies for re-hashing this. Just upgraded my system for the first time in a couple of months with slink. Everything mostly went right, but I have had some problems with X. When starting it, my windowmanager (windowmaker) complains with a message like: Can't load font -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*. Trying fixed. >From the following thread (http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-user-9811/threads.html#01674) it seems that the fault is of the new break up in the xfont/xbase packages. The resolution from the mailing list archives seems to be nuke all of X and re-install. I'd rather not do that though :) (though it is possible of course). I've tried purging all of the xfonts packages I have, and re-installing them but to no avail. If anyone can help me 'easily' fix this, I'd appreciate it a lot. Thanks a lot.

Re: Unsure of how Debian is updated
Hello,
> I am converting from RedHat to Debian and in the main am pleased with
> Debian. One thing I can't quite work out though is how Debian handles
> updated packages.
Normally, updated packages go into "unstable", which is a sort of
"work-in-progress area". Every now and then, unstable gets cleaned up, and
released as the new "stable" version, and the previous version becomes,
well, the previous version.
So the upshot is, if you want to keep up with the latest version, just
check the "stable" directory on the ftp servers. Sometime in the next few
weeks, you should get a pleasant surprise :-)
OTOH, if you want to stay with 2.0 for some reason, you should use the
"hamm" directory.
> For example XFree86 3.3.3 is out now, will this eventually be integrated

As far as I understand it, only serious bug fixes are allowed into hamm.
3.3.3 actually just missed getting into "slink" (Debian 2.1 is called
"slink"), so it'll go into Debian 2.2 ("potato"). However, if you need it,
you can always ftp it from unstable and install it (dpkg -i *.deb).

If you are using dselect, it will check and list all the upgraded packages
under the heading "Updated packages (newer version is available)". You can
then pick which ones you want to upgrade.
In some respects this is even better than a list of packages upgraded since
a release, because it compares to what you have installed (so if you have a
mixed system, you still get the correct list).
To have dselect do that, you have to tell it to use the "stable" directory.

PalmPilot going OpenSource?: off topic?
I know this is slightly off-topic, but, I just found an article and had a look around Palms site and found this page: http://www.palmpilot.com/devzone/rom3/srcavail.html I followed some of the links and, basically, You can register on-line as a developer, then fill out the Source code license and physically mail it to Palm Computing. The License agreement is rather restrictive, 3COM only agrees to release selected code, and the licensee is required to respect 3COM's ownership and copyrights etc, but this might be the start of more open access to the Palm's OS.

Re: moving the root partition (esp. /dev)
Ok, thanks to you guys I got it working. If you're interested, here's what happened (I think). The first time I tried to copy all of the root partition using -axR. This was working until it got to one of the bttv (brooktree tv card) dev files. I think that because the card was in use (but it could be my own incompetence), it started copying data from the card.

Hi David Herbert; unless Mutt is confused, you wrote: > I tried your suggestion, it did not return an error but also did not > work I continued on and also tried your suggestion using a shell from > inside install program it return the error "couldn't find kernel > image:aha152x=.0x3" I don't know enough about the kernel, but are you sure you typed =0x340? the line above suggests you typed =.0x3 if that is not the problem, try typing: linux aha152x=0x340,11,7,1 ^ note the linux part! Also, this will either work or it won't when you give that parameter at the boot prompt, I don't think you can enter that from the shell; not unles you are insmod it, but for that your kernel will need to be recompiled.

I reported transient errors with apt/dpkg. Do the errors start with 'General Protection: 00' or 'General failure: ' or something like that? The only person who responded to that part of my message, insisted the problem was elsewhere and not Debian, but I can't figure out any other explanation other than corrupted data files used by apt/dpkg or some similar problem. In my original post, I believed dselect/apt/dpkg were being pushed beyond their capabilities. Dpkg is being swamped by packages, now more than 2700. However, the errors, from my point of view, are far more common when running dselect with apt as the access method. This Friday I tried an upgrade using dselect/apt. I had a lot of stuff on hold, so decided to let dselect upgrade all of them (~30 packages). The download was a long one, but uneventfull. When installing though it started installing the latest netbase package of slink and crashed...hard. I first got the same kind of 'General failure: 0' message from apt/dpkg then I got the kernel message that began with 'Aiyee' or something like that. It was the first time I've seen a hard kernel crash outside of the X win system. The wierd thing, and this is why this problem is so frustrating, is that I rebooted, let fsck fix the inevitable filesystem errors then installed the same packages manually with 'dpkg -i' and everything installed sucessfully. Like you this is something I've only seen recently, I don't remember having these kinds of problems back with Deb 1.3.1. -- Ed C.

Yeah, I've read about joy2key, but I did not know where to get it. I was asking about quake2, not quake.. but thats not a problem, playing quake2 multiplayer with a joystick is instant death. I just wanted to try out the drivers. Quake2 does have negligible joystick support, but I think it's only cosmetic. Such as an initialisation command, an option "Use Joystick" but there is no input from it at all. I even linked /dev/js0 to as many different joy* devices that I could think of. Anyway, I have been pointed to "sabre", a flight sim. > With the new joystick driver in the kernel I would expect more games to > natively support the js? devices.

system instablity
Hi all, I'm asking here because I'm hoping someone might have a nicer diagnosis for what I'm seeing. I had been running a debian hamm installation that I had upgraded with no trouble until I had a disk failure. I verified it was the hard drive that was hosed. Anyhow, I recent bought hamm on CD and installed again on a different drive. I've had a few odd problems here and there but nothing unusual until the past couple of days. I have been seeing dpkg die with odd perl syntax errors, seg-faults, etc. Other programs such as netscape 4.05, emacs, smailconfig, and kfm (and many other I can't remember) have been dieing with illegal operations, segs, and bus errors. The problems will be repeatable for a short time, and then the program will behave, or exhibit a new and interesting problem. I know linux and the software I'm using is more stable than this. I guess I'm wondering if anyone know if there may have been problems with the official cd image? I would image that the problems I'm see would have been fixed if it were the software. I guess another question would be, does anyone have any idea which hardware is most likely to cause this without crashing the whole OS? Judging by the randomness of the error, I'm guessing not the CPU. Maybe a bad spot in memory? I'm running hamm pretty much out of the box still. I have not compiled my own kernel yet. I'm not using any new hardware. This has all work within the last month. If anyone has any idea's, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Dan Hursh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
moving the root partition (esp. /dev)
I'm trying to move all the files in my root partition to a different disk parition. I had no problems using cp -ar to do this with the /usr tree, but /dev is giving me problems. I can't seem to copy the devices in /dev. I get messages like "cp: /dev/sdh3: Operation not supported by device". MAKEDEV doesn't seem to create all the devices, or set the proper file ownerships. Is there anyway to do this other than re-creating the hundreds of them by hand? Thanks, John Paul

I have wine in my system, but it still does not work well yet. My guess is that your need change the setting in file wine.ini or ~/.winerc .
