Well, your basic networking is functional, but there is some problem in your domain name resolution setup. You should have the numeric addresses of domain name servers willing to do the translation from names to numbers for you. These servers are probably maintained by your internet service provider. I got it to work by manually creating the file /etc/resolv.conf containing the addresses (some linux distributions have automated setup scripts). My /etc/resolv.conf file looks like this: domain umd.edu nameserver 128.8.xx.yy nameserver 128.8.pp.qq nameserver 128.8.rr.ss Actually, the xx, yy, etc are the numbers of our campus servers, but these are for our use, you need to find the numbers for the servers your internet service provider maintains. You might also check that your /etc/host.conf file has a "bind" somewhere in it -- this tells the lookup software to try DNS as well as a static host table. The file contains something like: order hosts,bind multi on but I suppose if "bind" gets lost that could also explain the symptoms you describe... This is all documented on pages 459 and 460 of "Running Linux" (Second Edition) by Matt Welsh and Lar Kaufman. -- Charles B. (Ben) Cranston mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wam.umd.edu/~zben

It seems that gpm causes problems, so you need to either uninstall it, or prevent gpm from starting up on boot (usually done by either removing the symlink from rc?.d/ directory to the gpm script in /init.d, or just removing the script itself.

PHP3 and Mysql -- Broken Module
I'm using the latest Debain versions of PHP3 and the PHPMysql module. I'm also using the latest version of Mysql. It works fine. PHP3 seems to work by itself; PHP3 scripts that don't access Mysql work. When I try to run a PHP script, I get a message saying "Call to unsupported or undefined function mysql_connect()" I've added the mysql module to the PHP configuration, but it's apparent that it can find a library or something that it needs. Does anyone have this combination working, or are the the PHP module for Mysql broken? Thanks, JEB

Re: Ethernet help
Actually, it's not quite that easy to setup your nic. You need to know what you irq and io port your card uses to set it up. Then, you need to edit your conf.modules and add these lines: alias eth0 ne options ne irq=xx io=0xXXX where the x's stand for the respective irq and io address. Also, you need to compile your nic as a module. In this case, it will be ne.o. Make sure you modularize the isa ne2000 driver if you have an isa card and same goes for pci. Then when you reboot, if should find your nic and you'll be off and running. You technically don't have to reboot to get the nic up and running unless you have to compile your kernel.

slink: Which directory am I supposed to install from?
Hi! On the official slink CD images, there are two different directories from which an install can be tried: /install with boot.bat /dists/slink/main/disks-i386/2.1.8-1999-02-22 with install.bat Both batch files seem to run installation systems that look alike. From trying a few weeks ago, I think that I remember that running /install/boot.bat yields a running system with kernel in /vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36. I needed to mount the CD to install the base system since /install doesn't contain the base*.bin files. Today, I tried installing from /dists/slink/main/disks-i386/2.1.8-1999-02-22/install.bat. Installation went through fine, the kernel is /vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36-scsimod. This time, all the install needed was in the 2.1.8-1999-02-22 directory without needing anything else. However, the installed system dies with a kernel panic because it can't mount the root file system. I suppose that the other kernel (that is quite a few KB smaller than the one installed by the install system from /install) doesn't contain drivers for the NCR SCSI chip that my system has. Which directory am I to install from? Why does the other directory exist? How can I make the disks-i386-install-System install a kernel that actually works on my system?

I bought a Brother 1050 laser printer and am very pleased indeed that I did. I also have an HP 690C but have found inkjets painfully slow to print. The Brother is extremely fast and allows me to print out web pages without hassle. The quality of laser printing is just as good, if not better, under Linux as under Windows - the same cannot usually be said about inkjets. There is also the issue of economy. The cost per page is a lot lower with a laser than with an inkjet. I have just bought my first toner cratridge at a cost af around 13 UKP (20 US Dollars). I have printed absolutely loads of things - much more than I could with an inkjet cratridge costing nearly twice as much.

Hi all, I want my outgoing mail messages have a return path different to my e-mail address, with smail one can define return_path_field="Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>", how can I do this with Exim??

hamm upgrade
I'm trying to upgrade a debian 2.0 (hamm) system to 2.1 (slink). I've got 2.1 on a mounted CD-ROM and apt installed correctly on the system. The problem I am having is getting "apt-get dist-upgrade" to work. When I run the command (as root) I get the following error message: Updating package status cache...E: Can't open /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin - open (2 No such file or directory) E: The previous errors apply to a Package Cache File /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin E: You should probably re-run apt-get update I added the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb file:/cdrom/debian/dists stable/binary-i386 main and I've commented out the default http: references as I don't want to do this across the web. I ran across this problem a while back but decided to reformat and start clean. I am now getting to upgrading the systems that I cannot afford to rebuild.

kde apps as .debs??
I've got KDE installed on my slink system but I'd like to add some kde specific applications. Are there .deb files out there somewhere for things like Korganizer? Is there some central location where they may be downloaded? If not... I tried building Korganizer from source but the configure script complained about not being able to find the qt libraries. I know they are installed properly as kde is working well. Is this a common problem and/or what am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

Re: MP3 encoder
Due to patent problems (because Fraunhaufer enforces their patent on encoders), there will be no packages for approximately 19 years (see http://www.patents.ibm.com/details?pn=US05742735__&language=en --- I hope this is the right patent --- for licensing conditions see: http://www.iis.fhg.de/amm/legal/index.html).

laser postscript BW printer versus ink jet printer.
I am considering what printer to buy. With today low cost (< $400) laser postscript BW printers, they seem appealing. But is there really a reason to spend 2 times the sum of money on this kind of printer ? Perhaps a $200 new ink jet, maybe a color one, should be preferred ?
Zip Drive & Printer
Hi! I have some problems in configuring my zip drive and my printer. I have compiled the kernel 2.2.9 with Zip Drive support. But, after some tries, I lost the contact with my printer. I have a script that mounts the Zip Drive perfectly in monkey Linux (with kernel 2.0.30). But, when I run the same script on a Debian (with kernel 2.2.9), I receive the following message: rmod: module lp not loaded Adding Zip drive module on port 0x378 /lib/modules/2.2.9/scsi/ppa.o: init_module: Device or resource busy can't locate module 0x378 mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/sda4 as a block device (maybe `insmod driver'?) And when I was booting Linux, I received the following message from the lp driver: lp: driver loaded but no devices found I don't know what's happening with my printer and my Zip Drive. It's runs perfectly in Monkey Linux and Win95. But I have problems in a Debian. Any help will be welcome. []'s Adilson
Re: How Can I install WindowMaker 0.53?
The libjpeg62 is part of Slink, and should be under either the libs or graphics directory. I'm not sure about which, as I have the Hamm CDs, and use apt-get to move to Slink. The gif stuff is usually on the non-free CD. You could also get the souce and compile it. That's what I've done with my Hamm installation. And when I upgrade to Slink everything still works (as far as Window Maker goes). I also like to compile things like Window Maker because of the fairly quick rate at which new versions can come out.

Configuring X server
I installed the following: twm xf86setup xfree86-common xserver-vga16 xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi zlib6g xterm xbase-clients xfonts-scalable xserver-common xfonts-base xserver-svga xdm I have the following: Video adapter VGA Monitor VGA color Video Memory: 0kb VGA chipset: Western Digital My mouse is Microsoft, so I guess the name is /dev/psaux (it's PS/2 compatible). It's a 2 button mouse. So I configured the Xserver like this: Mouse protocol: Microsoft Mouse device: /dev/psaux Emulate3buttons enabled Resolution Medium (default) Button 3 (default) Sample rate : 0 (default) Emulate3timeout 50 (default) I don't have a video card, so the card selected was none. Then I commited the changes, and ran the server using startx. But the mouse only seems to remain in the first row, and even then moves very fast..it seems to be too sensitive. Also the menu barely pops up. All I get is a fine checkered screen with a cross signifying the mouse pointer. And when I click on any of the buttons, I don't get anything, no arrow, no menu, nothing.. I thought this may be of help in diagnosing the problem: I get the following warning: /dev/psaux unable to get status of mouse fd (Inappropriate ioctl for device) Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you're talking about saving Font, Size, Weight. Add the following line to your .emacs file, (setq options-save-faces t) if that doesn't work add it to .xemacs-options. I can't remember which one I put it in. Then "save options" under "Options." I've added this line to both files at one time or another. The line gets bumped out of the file, which I don't understand, but the options are saved next time you bring the program up. This works for emacs 20.x. I read somewhere there is another fix for prior versions. It has been a while since I messed with this:) Take a look at the Xemacs web site I think this is all documented there. hth, kent

I believe "Netscape" is the company; "Navigator" is the browser";
"Communicator" is the suite that contains the browser
("Navigator"), mail client ("Messenger"), and maybe another few
odds & ends.
Even lighter-weight than Navigator, you might take a look at

Linux and FreeBSD file system mounting.
Hey all, I've been playing with FreeBSD and Linux. I was trying to mount a FreeBSD partition from linux and got a nice little message. And being at work right now i can remember the error, but I remember the second line of the error said Sun Fing Sucks me. AH, although I love the error message it doesn't quite help me. I'm using Debian 2.1 with kernel 2.2.5 trying to mount a FreeBSD 3.1 partition. I have used: mount -t ufs /dev/hdb1 /Freebsd and placed a reference in my fstab, but nothing is working, I'm starting to believe that there is some incompatiblity in the nfs modules of the two. sidenote: Has anyone had this problem or know if this is true. I created a Linux partition. I noticed that if I use kernel 2.2.5 everything is fine (that the kernel that was running when the part was created). But, I had to boot with a 2.0.36 kernel ( I use loadlin and my 2.2.5 image was erased - damn kids) and it would not read the partition is this possible? Rod

Khalid Could you be asking about chmod? That file utility sets permissions for the file owner, file group, and others, and devices as well. An extract from the man page is: CHMOD(1) CHMOD(1) NAME chmod - change the access permissions of files SYNOPSIS chmod [-Rcfv] [--recursive] [--changes] [--silent] [--quiet] [--verbose] [--help] [--version] mode file... DESCRIPTION The format of a symbolic mode is `[ugoa...][[+-=][rwxXs- tugo...]...][,...]'. Multiple symbolic operations can be given, separated by commas. A combination of the letters `ugoa' controls which users' access to the file will be changed: the user who owns it (u), other users in the file's group (g), other users not in the file's group (o), or all users (a). If none of these are given, the effect is as if `a' were given, but bits that are set in the umask are not affected. The operator `+' causes the permissions selected to be added to the existing permissions of each file; `-' causes them to be removed; and `=' causes them to be the only permissions that the file has. --David David Teague, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux Because software support is free, timely, useful, technically accurate, and friendly.

Boot warning: SIOCSIFADDR
Hello, when booting my debian 2.1. (kernel 2.0.36) I always get a warning about SIOCSFADDR and similarly. Also, the system is complaining about `ppp unknown'. How can I switch off these messages? My kernel as an included ppp, which I do not need for booting. I deactivated `ppp' in /etc/init.d with `update-rc.d remove', but the warning still appears. I also have got an Zip-drive (SCSI, since the whole box ist SCSI), which is switched on during boot, but does not have a disk. My former Linux did not complain on `SIOSFADDR' but only noticed, that there is no disk. Any help?

If MAKEDEV won't do the right magic for you, you'll have to create the device entries by hand with the mknod command.

One solution is hidden in the VIM-docs. See options.txt.
*'shortmess'* *'shm'*
'shortmess' 'shm' string (default "")
global
{not in Vi}
This option helps to avoid all the |hit-return| prompts caused by file
messages, for example with CTRL-G, and to avoid some other messages.
It is a list of flags:
flag meaning when present~
f use "(3 of 5)" instead of "(file 3 of 5)"
[plus more flags...]
This gives you the opportunity to avoid that a change between buffers
requires you to hit return, but still gives as useful a message as
possible for the space available. To get the whole message that you
would have got with 'shm' empty, use ":file!"
Useful values:
shm=No abbreviation of message.
shm=a Abbreviation, but no loss of information.
shm=at Abbreviation, and truncate message when necessary.
Plus you will want to read message.txt's explanation of |hit-retrun|
messages:
*hit-return*
> Press RETURN or enter command to continue
This message is given when there is something on the screen for you to read,
and the screen is about to be redrawn:
- After executing an external command (e.g., ":!ls" and "=").
- Something is displayed on the status line that is longer than the width of
the window, or runs into the 'showcmd' or 'ruler' output.
To reduce the number of hit-return prompts:
- Set 'cmdheight' to 2 or higher.
- Add flags to 'shortmess'.
- Reset 'showcmd' and/or 'ruler'.

Help with setting up a mirror
Hi, I'm looking at setting up several machines running under vmware with slink and/or potato. I'm currently running my network over a single 28.8 dial-up connection, so I'd like to mirror the distribution trees (main, contrib, non-free and non-US) and not have to download the same packages multiple times. What would the best way to set this up be? I can mirror the entire distribution tree for i386 (complete but slow) or if someone knows a way to set up a caching proxy with a large cache (preferable, especially if I could move the cache into a local distribution mirror) I'd rather go that way to save bandwidth. Disk space is not the issue here. I have about 10G or more free on my server, and I can pop in an extra 4G into my vmware box if I need. But until Ricochet upgrades or I can afford DSL I'm stuck at 28.8 Thanks, Ian

I've used ppp_2.3.5-2 and kernel 2.2.{6,7,8,9} with no problems, so it
should be possible.
Your log files contain LCP request and reject messages from your end but
only LCP requests from the other end, so it looks as if the other end
is not seeing your machine's LCP requests; in fact the other end seems to
be repeating the same request over and over, ignoring the LCP reject message
that your machine returns each time. That makes me think that wherever the
immediate problem is, it isn't in your ppp configuration or chatscripts.
I notice that kernel 2.2.7 and 2.2.8 both include patches to the kernel's
ppp driver; I'd suggest that you upgrade to 2.2.9 (works for me) and see
how that works.
Good luck,
John P.

Inetd: smtp/tcp server failing (looping), service terminated
Hi! I receive my mail via uucp and send it to am internal machine via smtp; that means that each time I poll, there are many (30-200) brief smtp connections to my mail spool. I noticed today that some incoming messages were queued on my uucp host, and saw the following in /var/log/syslog on my mail server: inetd[164]: smtp/tcp server failing (looping), service terminated although there was no sign of trouble in /var/log/exim/*. I'm guessing that exim was forking to perform the local delivery and was returning so quickly that inetd assumed something was broken. For the moment I'm running exim as a stand-alone daemon rather than from inetd, but I'd like to be able to use inetd because it allows me to use TCP wrappers. I also want exim to return quickly rather than delivering in the foreground. How can I get inetd to work nicely with exim?
