Hi I refer you to Oliver Elphick's response about disk repartitioning for more swap. If you *need* more swap space, you can create a swap file.

XKB + changing X font
How do I set scroll-lock to modelock and alt to mode-shift in .xmodmap (i couldn't find them under xkeycaps, only mode-switch which seemd to do the same as mode-shift but couldn't get it to do mode-lock). also how do i get the extra charachters to work (hebrew). when i set them up to output the right values i got nothing on screen with mode-switch (including in netscape where i really need it for searching). i also tried under vim but it also did nothing (the that where not defined acted as if the character wasn't pressed those that where did nothing, and those maped to english characters, others then the normal ones gave the changed characters). also, how do i change the default font under x (I am using enlightment) so it can display hebrew headers?); Thanx _ Do You Yahoo!?

lilo problems
hey all I just expanded the 2.2.6 kernal into /usr/src. I have only the base system installed, but am getting debs and throwing them into a windows directory. among them was "make". so I got to the "make menuconfig" step and I got an error (sorry can't remember which one). I thought I'd find out what files I might be missing, so I shut down. When I cranked old betsy back up, lilo was unresponsive. I used the rescue disk to reload lilo, but it would then only boot to my debian partition. Nothing there works yet, really, so I wound up toggling my windows partition bootable. (and now can't even boot from the debian boot disk) oh yeah, I did look at lilo.conf--but I wasn't sure what to put there. btw, I used tomsrtbt's (the micro distro) fdisk to toggle, and will also be able to get at lilo.conf from there too.. Hmm. hda1 is windows, hda2 is swap, and hda3 is Linux. Can anyone, ah, tell me what to write or do? Of course, I have questions about other stuff too, but I don't want to get tiresome.

? using "make-kpkg" for modules ?
Hello all, I have compiled my kernel using 'make-kpkg' before and found it relatively painless - as long as I didn't use modules.. Today I tried to set up module support for my kernel and "modulize" a bunch of stuff, and I'm having some problems. First, from reading the /usr/doc/kernel-source-2.2.1/debian.README file, I thought that 'make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.5 kernel_image' was supposed to take care of the modules. So I did that, installed the .deb package, and rebooted. Now printing works (I'm pretty sure that lp should be a module now), pon works (same for ppp support) but sound does not. So I see elsewhere buried in the documentation that you're also supposed to do 'make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.5 module_image' I did that, and it spent a couple of minutes going through the routine, but no modules .deb package was created (that I could find...). Now if I try that command again, it goes through a very quick program listing and stops as if it's done... but still no .deb package... My kernel IS smaller by a couple hundred bytes now... Here is what my /proc/modules file says: ppp_deflate38516 0 (autoclean) sound 54484 0 (autoclean) (unused) soundlow 208 0 (autoclean) [sound] soundcore 2084 3 (autoclean) [sound] bsd_comp3468 0 ppp17712 2 [ppp_deflate bsd_comp] slhc4136 1 [ppp] lp 4268 0 (unused) What am I doing wrong here?

compiling and packaging vim
I compiled vim ver 5.4h for my computer (i needed the hebrew support), only it made only vim without gvim. When i run vim -g i get the graphical interface. How do i make gvim itself? It also gives me a message when run under rxvt: 'rxvt'not known. Known terminals are: GUI ansi xterm ... defaulting to ansi. Any way to solve this? Also on the debian package i saw that it was compiled wtih a -DDEBIAN flag. Is it important, and if so, how do i use it?

How stable Debian is depends largely on the kind of software you
use. Debian as a server OS (without any of the end-user type of
software) is very stable. You are attempting to use software that
is either still under heavy development and *not* ready for
primetime (Mozilla) or is known to have problems that haven't been
fixed by the commercial owner (Netscape).

Most distros, I suspect, don't install the old libc5 library by
default. Either use the Debianized package of Netscape from slink
(maybe only potato?) which is libc6, or download the libc6 version
from ftp.netscape.com ('unsupported' dir tree, and use the old
netscape4 installer), or install the libc5 stuff from the oldlibs
section in dselect (libc5, xlib6, xpm4.7) to get the libc5 version
you already have working.
Using the Debianized package is strongly encouraged. It isn't
easy, though, because of a number of 'base' packages that need to
be installed first. Select the package which has the Netscape
binary (communicator-smotif-451, for example) and use the
subsequent dependency screen to select the other packages that are
needed.

Re: X, netscape
You almost certainly broke something. Netscape works fine on several different systems here. In fact it works great because of the magic wrapper scripts Debian installs. I suggest reading: http://www.debian.org/~hp/tutorial/debian-tutorial.html/ch-docs.html#s-docs-support then asking again. In particular, include the *exact error messages* and the dpkg --status output for relevant packages (e.g. Netscape). Without these details all we can say is "works for us." Havoc

PPP and masquerading
Yeah, I ran into this same problem while changing my gateway over from one machine to another. I had forgotten to take out the default route on the NEW masquerade system, so PPP didn't set the default route. But I was getting 'Permission denied' errors from my ISP's nameserver from the masquerade machine. Manually replacing the default route and restarting ipmasq did not solve anything. Rebooting the entire network fixed it. Also, interestingly enough, I upgraded the old gateway to kernel 2.2.4 to use the video framebuffer, did not compile in anything other than basic networking, and REMOVED the ipmasq and port forwarding packages. Turned out I had forgotten to update the default gateway on my single windows machine, so it was still sending to the old gateway. Well, it's STILL connecting to the external network quite fine. Why?

Re: anyone get voodoo3 to work correctly on debian box?
I just got my voodoo3 a few days ago. Actualy, alien converts the xserver stuff very well because the package is quite simple, and it runs well. Just make sure you uninstall the Debian xserver-svga and xf86setup before you install the voodoo accelerated ones. Now if only the voodoo3 glide drivers would get ported... :( Eric.

Re: windowmaker
KDE and GNOME support - Since 0.51.0-3 there are two additional pacakges, wmaker-gnome and wmaker-kde. They install: /usr/bin/X11/WindowMaker-gnome [30] /usr/bin/X11/WindowMaker-kde [20] They are registered with Debian's alternatives system (the numbers in brackets are the priorities used -- GNOME is in Debian, KDE is not) PLEASE NOTE: I don't use GNOME and I don't use KDE. That should give you a hint as how wonderfully tested the packages are. I'm providing them because some people have asked me to. If you submit a bug related to either GNOME or KDE support, PLEASE use the proper Package: field. You have been warned. The KDE package is compiled with --enable-kde --enable-lite. I won't make a wmaker-kde-lite package. If -lite doesn't work properly, please let me know. But please keep in mind: wmaker-kde is meant to _replace_ kwm, if --enable-lite is not used, KDE users will have a very hard time. (If you just want to use some KDE apps, I think you better use the normal wmaker package) | Hints (information given by applications to integrate well with the window | manager) for Motif(tm), OPEN LOOK(tm), KDE and GNOME are also supported. | So you can replace any of the window managers for these environments with | Window Maker while keeping most, if not all, of the native window manager | functionality. (that's from /usr/doc/wmaker/README.gz) >From Window Maker's NEWS file (/usr/doc/wmaker/NEWS.gz) --- 0.50.0 KDE and GNOME - Added full support for GNOME and KWM hints. Read the INSTALL file to see how enable them. Everything in the so called GNOME window manager bla bla bla pseudo-spec is implemented. As for KDE stuff, it implements 90% of everything kwm does, adds some Window Maker specific extensions to it and still uses half of the memory kwm does, which should be enough to let you dump kwm ;) For details on what exactly is implemented, see comments in src/kwm.c Read the README.KDE file for more information. WARNING: Some KDE hints are badly designed, so doing things like using kpanel's desktop switcher/pager and Window Maker's internal workspace management functions to create, destroy and rename workspaces at the same time might cause unknown effects. To be on the safe side, only use either of them to manage workspaces. Switching workspaces is hopefully, safe, so you can switch workspaces from wherever you want. Marcelo
nis don´t work properly
( I posted this letter yesterday, and it didn´t make it to the list, so I´m trying again, if is not my intention to flood this list) I have been trying for a whole day to get nis to work, but it will not. I have a minimal LAN with two computers. They both are running slink; the server has been upgraded from hamm (2.0). I have managed to make ypcat work, it is also possible to finger. But when I try to login on the nis-client with my user pow the xconsole window tells me: May 1 17:06:21 lazy login[571]: no shadow password for `pow' on `ttyp2' May 1 17:06:23 lazy login[571]: invalid password for `pow' on `ttyp2' I have no idea why, I have tried many things. On the nis-server in /var/yp I have done 'make' 'make passwd' 'make group' 'make shadow' 'make', I still don´t get it to work. When I was ready to give up I changed the password for pow on the nis-client with yppasswd, then it worked, and I could change it on to server to with out any problems. But that isn´t necessary in a working system, is it? I have added +:: in passwd, + in shadow and +::: in group and in /var/yp/nicknames I´ve added 'shadow shadow.byname', just in case. I have done Somme on both the nis-client and the nis-server. If I restart the nis-server the console on the nis-client print out this message: May 1 18:42:27 lazy icmplogd: destination unreachable from supreme.pow.com [192.0.0.7] I don't know why, after all ypcat works, as well as finger. The nis-client name is lazy and the server is supreme (but right now I don´t think that it is so very great). -- And I know that there are people in this world who do not love their fellow human beings and I hate people like that.

I'm not sure if there's something I'm misunderstanding here... you already have your HDD partitioned into two, and you have windoze installed into it (which you want to keep). If that's correct, I can't see what you need fips for (unless you want to reclaim some space from your first partition). All you have to do is move any data from d: to c:, leaving thus the second partition empty, and then install Linux in the second partition. The Linux setup will take you through the right steps (including repartitioning the second drive to create both Linux swap part. and Linux native part.)

Harddisk troubles
Hi all, Yesterday I rebuild my kernel for the first time in my life. Compiling the kernel went very smooth when I rebooted my system it ran perfectly. I was very happy.However, today I booted my system and trouble started. The system gave a message that the filesystem had not been unmounted properly and that a check was forced (I did shutdown the system using shutdown -h the day before). After checking the filesystem linux told me that the filesystem was mounted read-only and that I had to run fsck manualy. I did that and I let fsck fix some problems. Now I can start the system, X/kde also starts, but I can not start any programs in X. The desktop also stays empty. Could there be a connection between this problem and the kernel rebuild, or is this just a coincidence? To be on the safe side, I have booted my old kernel now. I do not think I made a lot of filesystem changes in the new kernel. How can I restore the X system, so that my desktop returns and I can start X programs again? Thanks very much, Robert-Jan

But I don't need to do address translation. All I need is IP forwarding. I don't think that IP forwarding depends upon IP masquerading. (Quite the contrary, in fact.) Please correct me if I'm wrong.

basic question on splitting partitions
Sorry if this question is too basic. I've been following several newsgroups for a while and haven't seen this situation addressed. I have a 3.2 GB hard drive and 16-bit addressing, so it's partitioned into a C drive of about 2 GB and a D drive for the rest of the space. I'd like to keep Windows 95 on the C drive while I work on installing Linux on D. >From reading the installation instructions it sounded like I should create a Swap partition within "D." So I created a system floppy with the FIPS directory on it. Upon execution it displayed the partition table showing partition 1 consisting of 2047 MB and partition 2 consisting of 1047 MB. It asked which partition to split, and I chose "2." The resulting error message said: "Can't split extended partitions. FIPS can not yet split extended DOS partitions." What should I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Peter Christensen

unresolved(able?) gnome install problems
Hey, I'm using apt-get (with ftp.us.debian.org unstable main contrib non-free) and trying to install gnome, but nothing seems to be working. Assuming I'm staying with a binary distribution, is the only way to get gnome working by using RPM? Is that safe with debian, or will it screw up the wonderful world of dselect which made me convert from Redhat? -abr

I think a 40 mb install should be doable. I have such a system, so yes, it is doable. But after setting aside swap space, plus that 26 MB from the base installation, there isn't a whole lot of room left. Regards, David H.

IP forwarding for 2.2.x kernels
Is there some magic involved with IP forwarding for the 2.2.x kernels? I have a box with a brand-new Debian installation (slink), a custom- built 2.2.5 kernel, and a pair of ne2000 ethernet cards. I can ping systems going out through both cards, so I know they are both working. I just cannot get packets to route _through_ the system. I have done the arcane bit of magic mentioned in the kernel help file: echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0 echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1 The routing appears to be correct. I have specified routes to networks through each of the ethernet cards and a default route to one of the hosts on one of the networks. Networking part of the kernel .config: # # Networking options # CONFIG_PACKET=y CONFIG_NETLINK=y CONFIG_RTNETLINK=y # CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV is not set CONFIG_FIREWALL=y # CONFIG_FILTER is not set CONFIG_UNIX=y CONFIG_INET=y # CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST is not set CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER=y CONFIG_RTNETLINK=y CONFIG_NETLINK=y # CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES is not set # CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH is not set # CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_TOS is not set # CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_VERBOSE is not set # CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_LARGE_TABLES is not set # CONFIG_IP_PNP is not set CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL=y # CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL_NETLINK is not set CONFIG_IP_ALWAYS_DEFRAG=y # CONFIG_IP_TRANSPARENT_PROXY is not set # CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE is not set CONFIG_IP_ROUTER=y # CONFIG_NET_IPIP is not set # CONFIG_NET_IPGRE is not set CONFIG_IP_ALIAS=y # CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES is not set (Note that I have aliased eth1, to that there are two virtual networks on that physical network, but I don't think that should affect this.) I have a system with 2.0.35, through which packets route just fine, so I don't think I'm totally lost. I suspect I either mis-set something when I built the kernel, or there is some new configuration that I don't know about. Someone please enlighten me. Thanks, David H.

Ahh, that's probably it then. It's not in my options file, because my setup is rather customised because I use diald for one link. I have two other /etc/ppp/peers/ files which have the lock option in them, though, created by pppconfig in hamm if I'm not mistaken. I do seem to recall the port being locked in /var/lock, though, and the diald-managed link is certainly locked in that directory. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3TYD.
