RE: S3Trio3D
Hola. Siento no poder ayudarte. En mi trabajo tengo un IBM Netfinity 3000 que trae incorporada una S3Trio3D con 4mb. He tenido que instalar una tarjeta Cirrus Logic de 1mb para ejecutar las X. Como te imaginarás, tengo unas ganas enormes de ver a la S3 en su salsa. Según me han comentado, el paquete de las Xfree86 de Debian (3.3.2) está pasando por unos cambios de organización grandes, y el mantenedor quiere acabar con los problemas de estos cambios antes de actualizar la versión de las X a la nueva 3.3.3. Es muy posible que la nueva versión incorpore soporte para la S3Trio3D. Por ahora, esperar (creo que no será mucho, los mayores problemas se solucionaron en Diciembre). -- Tinguaro Barreno Delgado [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: System won't boot, lilo.conf problem
Not a lilo expert but I think that you need boot=/dev/hda instead of /dev/hda1. Also, are you sure you don't need the compact line ? BTW: I am sure that /usr/doc/lilo/* will be more helpful then me. Hi I have the same situation to Tam. Whenever I boot my PC, It only show LI and freeze. The different thing is I have only one disk ( 2GB) and all dedicated to linux. No other operating system inside. The /etc/lilo.conf content is boot=/dev/hda1 root=/dev/hda1 install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map vga=normal image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read only I have been bothered by this problem for 2 weeks! Please help me to solve the problem. Thanks!!! My system is similar to yours (2 hd, Win95 on hda1, Debian on hdb). Perhaps my /etc/lilo.conf could help.

After I successfully installed the base system, I configured the /etc/lilo.conf file and when I reboot, my sytem displays this : LI and then freezes. Hopefully someone can help me. Now I will give you a description of what I am trying to do so you can understand my problem better. I have two hard drives and I'll call them /dev/hda and /dev/hdc. /dev/hda is a master on the first IDE chain and /dev/hdc is also a master but on the second IDE chain. I have DOS/win95 on /dev/hda and just installed the base of Linux on /dev/hdc (dedicate only to Linux). ***When I make the /root partition on /dev/hdc, I make it bootable*** This is what I want to do: I want to have a choice to of DOS/win95 or Linux when I boot my system This is what I did, I not sure if it is right or not: -run liloconfig -said YES to the first question to install a partition boot record on /dev/hdc. -said NO to making a master boot record on my second drive /dev/hdc cuz to want to boot from /dev/hda and I assume that it is right not making a mbr on /dev/hdc. -said NO to the third question, not making my /dev/hdc active. Now I go in /etc/lilo.conf and fix it by hand and this is what it looks like: (I delete the original data that lilo provided such as compact, install=/boot/boot.b, etc) boot=/dev/hda delay=40 other=/dev/hda1 label=windows table=/dev/hda image=/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdc2 #hdc2 is my root partition label-Linux read-only This is the exact data in this file. I save this file and type the command lilo and I get this : Added windows * Added Linux Then I reboot and I system freezes atLI Now I can't even boot DOS/win95 because I can't get my /etc/lilo.conf to work. I tried to remove the file boot.0300 in the /boot dir on /dev/hdc2 but that doesn't work . I also have the file boot.0613 or something like that in my /boot dir but I didn't delete(I am not sure what it is).

Re: RH vs Debian (Switch to Red Hat ?)
I have found that there is much more packages available for debian than there are for Red Hat Isn't it odd ? Given that there are much more RH users then Debian users (3:1 ratio ?), how can it be ? Are there more programmers who use Debian then those who use RH ? Are all of this packages constantly maintained by both a Debian developer and an upstream one ?
Games, sound and multi processes OS ?
Since linux has many processes that are constantly switched by the processor, using the PC internal speaker is practically impossible. Isn't it ? Is there a similar problem with a sound card ?

How can one scan and/or defrag a ext2fs? Hmmm. I think you should be able to defrag the root while it's mounted read-only, as long as the defrag tool knows to flush the cache afterwards. You can fsck the root while it's mounted no problem. You're right for fsck, but not for defrag. So the problem still stands.

Re: [Fwd: Installing debian with Win98]
Olaf Meeuwissen wrote: Hi Tim, I have Window$98 and Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 running on a IBM ThinkPad 385XD laptop without any trouble (sofar?). I've kept a detailed log of all the things I did and can mail it if your interested. You'll have to wait till tomorrow though, 'cause I don't have it here. Basically, I repartitioned the 4GB internal hard disk, did a recovery installation of Window$ on the C: drive and then put Linux on the rest. From what you say (having things already partitioned), you can skip most of that and just jump in at the Linux installation. I had the same problem as you mentioned: linux just won't boot. The reason is that LILO can not boot Linux if the root partition is not in the first 1024 cylinders of the boot disk. I will still need to repartition my 2nd hard drive as win98 didn't give me any options when I installed it. My first work-around was a DOS boot-floppy that auto-execs loadlin to boot Linux. Worked like a charm, but I found the floppy boot a little clumsy. Following the loadlin docs, I modified the Window$ boot to give me a choice (much like LILO would have done if it worked). So, I boot Linux through M$-DOS, but, hey, if it works, who cares? Ah yes. I thought of trying something like that but, when I tried to make a boot disk (floopy) It wouldn't work (sigh). Now, if I could only get that silly Window$ logo at boot time replaced with something more Linux, like a penguin ... Now THAT would be cool! Tim

guilty?
The serial number must increase for the zones to be updated. The
usual method would make the serial numbers above something like
1999010701 and 1998121201, which means that the slave's old serial
number would be less than the new one on the master.
For example, using my ISP:
$ dig -t soa clear.net.nz @dns1.clear.net.nz
[...]

clear.net.nz. 22h47m53s IN SOA dns1.clear.net.nz.
hostmaster.clear.net.nz. (

10M ; retry
3D ; expiry
1D ); minimum
[...]
If they updated their records tomorrow, the serial number would change
to 1999011101, and dns2.clear.net.nz would pick up the changes because
1999011101 (SOA record on dns1.clear.net.nz) 1998122102 (local SOA
record on dns2.clear.net.nz).
Anyway, the records on the master are *broken*. You should change the
serial number to 1999011001 (which is greater than 121219981), or
you'll have to try manually getting BIND to forget its cached zone
files and get the whole lot from the master again. (And you'll have
to do this every year. You *don't* need these problems in Jan 2000.)

If your employer's net access doesn't work properly, get a real ISP account for home. Whether or not you choose to acknowledge it, the firewall issue is a real one for many people (myself included). This argument always seems to boil down to one or the other (email-list vs. newsgroup). This isn't what I'm advocating, nor is it a realistic possibility, precisely because many can't use a newsgroup. I would hope for a news.debian.org news server which was connected (gated?) to the email list, so that one could chose their preference with the knowledge they are getting everything that is going on the other email-list/newsgroup. We would restrict this server to serving only the official Debian lists, including debian-user, and not the Usenet to keep the load down to a minimum (someone at my ISP said their (full Usenet) newserver is chewing up hard drives at the rate of one every 4/5 months). One could then choose their preference without having to give up anything. The problem as someone mentioned earlier, is that debian.org supposedly doesn't have the resources for this. I personally don't know what it would take to set something like the above scenario up. Can somebody lay out the details of what this idea would take? At least we would have some concrete info to use in this debate (instead of 'newsgroup suxs' or 'I like it the way it is'). As the traffic load on debian-user continues to grow (because of growing popularity of Debian), this argument, like it or not, will continue to increasingly show up on this list (IIRC, I've seen this twice before already), and it won't help matters to keep 'blowing off' the minority in this debate.

Re: Why not as a newsgroup?
For people who want to read the debian mailing lists as a newgroup because of conevenience of using the client (as opposed to bandwidth concerns), it is pretty easy to set up a local news-server to do this. Just get the inn package and the newsgate package. Configure inn and add a group for each mailing list. Then, add something similar to this in your .procmailrc: # Mail for debian-devel-changes :0 w * ^From.*debian-devel-changes | mail2news -nfoo.debian-devel-changes -S # Mail for debian-devel :0 w * ^From.*debian-devel | mail2news -nfoo.debian-devel -S # Mail for debian-mentors :0 w * ^From.*debian-mentors | mail2news -nfoo.debian-mentors -S # etc, etc I am experimenting with this currently. Although mutt has great support for newsgroups, there are some things I like better about slrn. I also like that the news server keeps all the messages archived for me without me having to hassle with it in the mailing list mailboxes. Note that this is a one-way newsgroup (read-only), but you can set it up so that postings to the group are forwarded to the mailing list. -Mitch

Danny, FAT32 itself did not change from Win98b to Win98. Linux can read/write it with no problem provided of course that vfat support is compiled into the kernel.

GNOME and Packages
I am very new to Debian, and linux in general. I installed hamm, base12 this afternoon, and tried to install GNOME with it but when I told the install to get the packages from the floppies where I had copied the files I downloaded from GNOME's ftp site it said there were no packages there? Also.. I was told by someone in an irc.debian.org channel that the dir command worked in Debian, but it doesn't work for me. Rogue - One who travels apart from the pack, and is wild and fierce.

Re: Any good Debian books?
Try to look in debian's home page. I am searching for a good Debian Linux book. Does one exist? I tried meta keyword searches as above and didn't come up with anything specific to Debian. I have Using Linux published by QUE - Slackware and Linux Unleashed published by Sams - Redhat5.1, OpenLinux and Caldera. Anything for Debian? I've still got some hurtles to overcome. Read my CD ROM. Dial my ISP. You know the basics. MAN pages are good, but I would like a good book.
Re: slink PPP hangup problem
What I trying to say is that IIRC, chat should only appear at the lines that describes the creation of the connection. And I do not understand why there is a line that mentions chat after the connection is made. That is, it is my understanding that chat terminates before the ppp connection is fully established. But I might be wrong. Even if I am wrong, posting a more detailed log + configuration files can help in solving your problem. Here is my log file: [01:00:52 shaul]# tail -n20 /var/log/ppp.log.0 Jan 10 01:50:24 rakefet pppd[3130]: pppd 2.3.5 started by shaul, uid 1000 Jan 10 01:50:54 rakefet pppd[3130]: Serial connection established.

And then when i kill -INT pid of ppp I get the error that the hangup chatscript failed But the connection is terminated... On Sat, 9 Jan 1999, shaul wrote: Isn't the failing of chat (2nd line of in your messages) means that you were connected at all ? Hello All I have been using Debian Slink Linux for a while now, but I have a problem hanging up (terminating) a PPP connection. I have the latest version of PPPD installed, I have edited the chatscripts ect... to dial the interent, and i use pon to logon to the internet. But when it comes time to log off the internet I do have a problem. The problem is that when I run /usr/bin/poff. The program does not 'terminate' thet PPP connection properly. The connection is terminated but in /var/log/syslog I get the following messages: Jan 6 07:01:49 indolent pppd[296]: Terminating on signal 2. Jan 6 07:02:34 indolent chat[851]: Failed Jan 6 07:02:34 indolent pppd[296]: disconnect script failed Jan 6 07:02:35 indolent pppd[296]: Exit. I have no clue how to fix this problem. I know that poff does work on this other debian box that I have, and it hangs up instantly off the internet. When I use poff of this machine I can't get off the intenret instantly it takes a few minutes then puts some errors out to syslog (shown above), I was just wondering if anyone has nay idea how to fix this. Or what kind of problem this is... And once in a long while sometimes the modem won't hangup when i execute /usr/bin/poff and I am forced to reboot the box. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

Use something like PHP3 to create an HTML file, then print from netscape. 2. Use embedded perl (I think its in the eperl package) to embed commands from the perl packages for Postgres (check CPAN http://www.perl.com/CPAN for the Perl Database packages) Hope this helps. Your idea is neat! Perhaps release the database as public domain.

Query re: netstd update
I noticed when I updated my Packages file for proposed-updates that the listing (i386) for Netstd's updated version is for m68k architecture. I know this is not the right version information, but I'm uncertain how to correct it in my Packages file (or if I should bother...). Any answers, comments, etc.? Roger
