(Amp is also available as a deb package). However, that doesn't work with the mp3 I wanna do it with (the file is kind of bad). Anyway, the issue is no longer relevant (for me). The reason I brought this up is that a user on my system wants to play an mp3 at X startup, but the MP3 was bad, so I thought I could convert it to wav and play it w/ 'play'. But amp could handle the buggy MP3, so I didn't have to.

Cnews ? There are two different ways of doing it. One is the "Windows" approach where you have one program which downloads the news and provides a reader interface for it. You get this in, for example Free Agent (which I heard will run under Wine, but don't quote me on that) under Windows. There are some Linux newsreaders that support this mode - the only one I can name for you is Gnus, which is built into the different Emacs variants (run "M-x gnus" or select it from the menus). The more traditional Unix method is to have a seperate news server and news reader. This gives you a much better range of readers to play about with, and can be more flexible. The reader bit is simple - point your news reader at the local machine and everything should work (this is probably the default). If you're simply pulling news from one upstream site then there is a news server called leafnode (avalible as a package) which is designed for this and should be pretty much hassle free. If you have more complex needs, or feel more adventurous, you can use a news server like inn or cnews together with a seperate program like suck or newsx to download and upload the news. > Is there any good documentation about it ?

Since you don't seem to have an actual sound card, you should check to see if there is a slot on the motherboard to plug an audio CD cable into. The Crystal PNP Audio System is in fact your sound card; IIRC, that particular model is usually built into the motherboard. Where do your speakers plug in? There might be a connector near there.

However the hardware you list is all supported. The Diamond Fire GL 1000 PRO is supported under X by the XF86_3DLabs Xfree86 server. I don't think this server driver is in the X packages v3.3.2.3 that are currently available with any of Debian's distributions(stable, frozen, unstable). But you can download the XF86_3DLabs binary from the ftp.xfree86.org and use it until Debian's X packages are upgraded to v3.3.3(after Debian 2.1 is released), the detail of this can be found at, http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-user-9812/msg03370.html.

I've been looking at the info you provided and I don't think there is enough to troubleshoot your problem. What are the IP addresses/netmasks of your machine(s)? How is your network connected together (number of ethernet segments, IP address/netmask assigned to each segment)? What machine is apache running on? It would be better if you provided all of your information in IP address form, so for routing tables do 'netstat -rn'. Also an 'ifconfig' would be interesting to see what the network interface configuration is also. I'm not that familiar with ISDN modems, is it a separate hardware device for which there is a configured network interface in a machine, or is it a network entity on one of your ethernet segments? This should be a fairly simple problem to fix I would think. Basically you must assign an IP network address (e.g. 172.16.0.0, mask 255.255.0.0) to each 'network' (ethernet segment). Then each network entity (e.g. host computer, router) connected to that network is assigned an IP address from the network's address space (e.g. 172.16.0.1). When each network interface is configured on a given host, there will also be a network route added to the routing table that allows IP (on that host) to forward datagrams to any host on this locally connected network. Other routes might need to be added, like a default route, to allow IP reachability to other IP networks.

If it is, you will need to download and run isapnptools Q2: It seems that it's not a Winmodem, but just in case recheck. ALso, try downloading wvdial package, it helps to configure the modem. But I think that if the port is configured properly, and pon still can't do anything ( When you run pon, do you hear a click when modem initializes? Technicly, pon will not display anything. The only way you know htat it worked is because you have the connection to the net, or just check through plog, it will tell you why pon can not connect.)

Network setup problems
Hello, I have a strange problem I cant seen to understand what to do about it. I am running Apache as a web server and everything runs fine when I am attached to my home LAN, using my own machine as the gateway. However, when I connect to the office to use the internet I have to assign our ISDN modem as the gateway. All of the network stuff works fine when I do this, except I cannot connect to my Apachie web server. I get the following message: A network error occured: Unable to connect to server (TCP Error: No route to host) The server may be down or unreachable. I did a trace route, but that didnot enlighten me: starfury: # traceroute 172.16.1.9 traceroute to 172.16.1.9 (172.16.1.9), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 172.16.0.9 (172.16.0.9) 0.168 ms !H 0.138 ms !H 0.1 ms !H starfury: # traceroute 172.16.1.9:80 traceroute: unknown host 172.16.1.9:80 I also tried a few other things after re-reading Net-3-Howto: starfury: # /bin/netstat -r Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface localnet* 255.255.0.0 U 1500 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 3584 0 0 lo default gateway.oa.nl 0.0.0.0 UG 1500 0 0 eth0 starfury: # /sbin/route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface 172.16.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 14 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 01 lo 0.0.0.0 172.16.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG1 0 60 eth0 As far as I can see the only thing that changes is the gateway address. I am not using DNS at home so that doesnt change. I am using Debian 'Hamm' kernel 2.0.34 and pcmcia modules to match for the network.

However, Hamm does have the old libc5 libraries available for you to install so the stuff you have compiled (or was compiled) with it will still run. I use rar extensively here and it is a libc5 program, no problems at all. >I am most concearned about this upgrade, I don't want to be left with a box >of broken bits, followed by a long night of tape restores. I've never gone through that upgrade since I started with Hamm. However, I don't think "a long night of tape restores" would be a wise response if things do break. If things break you're looking at two options. 1: A long night of reinstalling from tape. 2: A long night of installing from scratch. Personally, I've gone through several Slackware installs, one Red Hat install, one Stampede install, one FreeBSD install and two Debian installs (one on a laptop). If I were given those choices, I'd take the latter since at least then the upgrade would be over and done with. I find that fresh installs are a lot less painless than trying to cobble together everything from backups. There are exceptions, mind you, but at that level of breakage, there aren't many. ;) - -- Steve C.

Upgrading
I run Debian 1.3.1 and wish to upgrade to release 2.0 Having read up on this a little, am I correct in saying that I will be able to do this without breaking everything? I am concearned about the LIB6c stuff, and what upgrading will mean to my old (LIB5) non-debian packages. Will they still work, or will I end up breaking everything from trying to change to 2.0 ? I understand I need to run the autoup.sh script first, then use dselect as normal afterwards. This is fine for upgrading my Debian Packages. But what about other stuff *I* may have installed in /usr/local etc ! Can I make the autoup.sh script take the LIB6c info from the Debian 2.0 CD(s) I have. (Or Will I need to run autoup to Debians site using FTP etc) I am most concearned about this upgrade, I don't want to be left with a box of broken bits, followed by a long night of tape restores. Whatsmore, I do not want to be stuck with 1.3.1 just because I have a few non-debian packages installed ! Thanks in advance. -- Nidge Jones
Re: configuring serial port
Multi part answer: 1) ttyS2 == COM 3 in dos/win 2) edit /etc/rc.boot/0setserial, disable autoprobing and set it manually 3) add "serial" to /etc/modules.conf so the modules and your changes aren't unloaded when not in use.

Sounds like a bad brute-force approach. Can't dpkg do the remove and
the install of the equivs package in a single operation? Or can I
"update" smail with equivs?
Should this be filed as a wish-list bug?

Re: Modem stopped working when I upgraded to hamm
- Received message begins Here - After listening to a number of suggestions, I installed a clean copy of hamm from the CD to a spare SCSI disk. The modem still doesn't work. I removed the sound card and disabled all serial ports except for the modem. Tonight I'm going to install bo from Cd and make sure the modem still works. If it does then I'll install things one at a time and see what happens. Quick question. Before I do that, what is the AT command to restore the modem to factory settings? Just in case diald screwed with them somehow and that is what caused the problem. This is a US Robotics 33.6 sportster internal modem. I wish they'd include a manual with modems still. Thanks, Jim.

Network Installtion problem.
I hope someone can help me. I can't get my network card working and as the CDRom is on another machine I cannot install the packages until I can get an ftp connection between the Linux machine and NT server. When I installed the base system the network card that I have, installed properly as a ne200 compatible, it even came up when I ran ifconfig under the shell from the installation menu. When I rebooted the into Linux the network card had disappeared. I only get the loopback when I run ifconfig. I am a newbie to Linux and hope that someone can solve this problem, I have been searching through the debian archives and other sources for this answer. I had problems with installing RedHat onto the machine and gave up in the end, so it could be a problem with the machine. The strange thing is that it configured and displayed in the installation, but won't when it is running. Tom..

[Q] Automating the imm module
Hi! I've compiled the imm module for my Zip+, put it in /lib/modules and built a kernel with scsi support. Now, I'm able to do this: | insmod imm | | rmmod imm Obviously, what I'd like to do now is automating the loading/unloading of imm. Like, if I say "mount /mnt/zip", the module would be loaded (I think kerneld knows already how to unload it after some time, right?). How can this be achieved ? A partly related question: I don't understand exactly what does kerneld, and how it does it. In particular, I read in the SB mini howto that when modules are in /etc/modules, they're not subject to automatic removal. So, does kerneld only manage modules loaded with insmod ? -- / / _ _ Didier Vernahttp://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / E.N.S.T.

You may have to use 'dpkg --purge --force-depends smail' to delete

You just typed 'pppd' with no options at the prompt right? That's normal.

I did exactly this yesterday (replacing smail with exim). apt-get install exim was smart enough to first remove smail and subsequently install exim.
