apt-get and two cds
I downloaded and burned my own official Debian Slink 2.1 cds. There are two binary cds. I downloaded these while at school while I had an ultra-fast connection so that I can use apt-get on the cdrom, rather over the much slower (and costly) modem. My question -- I have been successful installing packages that reside on the first CD, but this does not work for packages on the second CD. For example, the package cnews is stored on the second CD, but if I try to do a apt-get install cnews, I get the following error: E: Package cnews has no installation candidate This is with cd 2 in the drive and mounted. So I figured that maybe I have to run apt-get update with the second CD in the drive and mounted (previously, I had ran apt-get update only on the first CD). But when I run apt-get update on the second disc, I get this error: E: Line 2 in package file /var/state/apt/lists/cdrom_debian_dists_slink_main_binary-i386_Packages has no :. E: Package file /var/state/apt/lists/cdrom_debian_dists_slink_main_binary-i386_Packages line 2 does not start a package Any ideas?

Re: NIS and /etc/group
Take a look at /var/yp/Makefile on your NIS server. There's a variable in there: MINGID=??? Which defines the group id below which entries will be ignored. The dialout group is 20 and this is probably lower than the MINGID in /var/yp/Makefile. You can change MINGID and re-make or create a new group (above MINGID) and assign this group to all the dialout devices on all the machines. Stephen A. Witt wrote: I've just set up NIS on a small group of Debian machines with one NIS server and the rest as clients. Everything seems to be working fine, with one small exception. Most of the users need to be able to use minicom or kermit to connect as a dumb terminal to some devices in our lab and so I've added them to the 'dialout' group in /etc/group on the NIS server. These changes aren't being propagated by the NIS server to the clients however. I've tried a couple of different things in the /etc/group files on the clients to fix this but haven't been successful yet. This is all on slink by the way. The first configuration was with a group file on the client exactly as it comes out of the box from a Debian install, with the addition of the '*:::' as specified in 'nis.debian.howto.gz'. The only groups I see on any of the clients are : % ypcat group users:*:100: nogroup:*:65534: I then tried 'group' with just '+:::' in it, nothing else, hoping that it would pick up all the groups (including the default groups) from the server, but it didn't change. I got the identical results as above. So, do I have to edit all of the group files on the clients and add the users to the dialout group? I hoped that NIS would take care of this for me.

packets hanging diald
Hi...
Well, this seems to be the time for PPP problems, so here's my
contribution. :-)
I got around to installing diald and using Debian's pon/poff for the last
2 weeks. It very well with one exception. It won't drop the link. It
appears that either Debian or my provider is expecting me to be running
routed. I shouldn't be. I just have a simple dialup PPP connection.
routed is not running. A sample tcpdump of the link looks like this:

Equivs and Mail problem
Hi Folks, I wanted to get rid of exim install qmail. I didn't want to use the qmail src deb, because it's only 1.02, so I got the source and compiled it myself. Now, obviously a lot of things are going to complain loudly if I get rid of my MTA, so acting on something I saw on the list, I used the equivs package to provide an equiv for mail-transport-agent. I think I did the quivs correctly. In /etc/equivs.conf I have: $ cat /etc/equivs.conf mail-transport-agent I installed the resulting deb file. When I have a look at the deb file in mc it says Provides: mail-transport-agent. I uninstalled --force-deps exim and installed the equivs deb. It all seemed to work nicely.

Re: Equivs and Mail problem
DM == Damon Muller [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: DM Why am I getting all those unresolved dependencies? I thought that DM was what equivs was for? The version in slink does not work well with apt. You installed a new equivs package with different dependencies, but there is a equivs with the same version on the ftp mirrors, so apt doesn't take the info from the local package, but from the one on the mirror, so it doesn't see the changed dependencies. The best way to solve this is to install the equivs package available in unstable. It will build truly new packages, so the config scheme is different to the one in stable, but also more flexible.

If you intend to boot from that hard disk you should set it's id to 0 (unless your scsi adapter has a configurable boot device, which on cheaper cards it couldn't be the case...). Also check that: 1) the hard disk is on the first connector next to the adapter card. (this really is not required but eliminates some error possibilities because that's the way it works for me :-) 2) the cdrom is on the last connector on the strip. This is important. If your strip has more than 2 connectors, the LAST ONE must be occupied, possibly leaving some empty ones in the middle. The empty ones in the middle don't hurt. 3) The hard disk MUST NOT be terminated (there's a little series of jumpers on the hd, check for the one that has a mark as TE or TERM - better yet, check on the instruction manual that I hope your dealer gave you) 4) THe cdrom MUST BE terminated (again, a small jumper on the back of the device, better if you check the manual because usually there are 6 or 7 jumpers all together and it may be confusing figuring out the right one) 5) Check that both devices support parity check (there are jumpers for this too), and that parity is set up to be used in the adapter's set-up 6) Set adapter's speed to auto-sense so that you don't have to mess with 20 MB/s or fast buses or the like :-) Any advice, RTFM pointers, or tips would be appreciated.

Have you tried just booting with the 2.1 rescue's default kernel? Yes, No go. I replaced the kernel with one compiled for ESDI / MCA. Goes further. It seems to talk to the disk controller, but I cannot interpret the error messages to decide if they are genuine errors. The installation still does not see the hard disk and offer fdisk. I can switch consoles. There were no /dev/eda devices. I created these, but still the installation would not recognise the disk.

gdm/xdm/login.app weirdnesses
I'm running potato and till recently was running XDM with login.app to give the login screen a nice clean look. Then GDM (Gnome Display Manager) showed up in unstable so i grabbed it. Next time i rebooted, it gave me the gnome login screen and my mouse works, but for some odd reason it disables my keyboard. The kb works through bootup but once it goes to the gdm login screen my led lights won't even come on off. The only possible thing i can think of that i might have done was put login.app into the wrong runlevel or something...when i initially installed login.app it tried to configure before X and XDM were configured so it told me to configure later with some config script somewhere. When it ran, it asked me which runlevel to put login.app into. I know nothing about runlevels, and was given the options 2345 ...i chose 2. When i decided to install GDM i removed login.app fearing problems; when i removed it, it spit some things out about the runlevel stuff. I don't remember what this said nor do i have any idea what it meant. Anyway, i simply went in with a boot disk, renamed gdm within init.d to prevent it from booting, and then removed GDM, Login.app, and XDM altogether within dselect. This has thusfar solved my problem; however, i sure would like to be able to have some freedom in choosing xdm, login.app, and gdm without worrying about this. Is it simply a bug in GDM?

Netelligent, still problems

I installed the base system from the base-floppies and also found a 2.0.34-based tlan.o (now in my /lib/modules/2.0.34/net/ directory). But on issuing the command insmod tlan nothing happens afterwards (also error messages). No network. The command ifconfig eth0 results in eth0 unknown interface I'm not an expert at all (You probaly recognized it :-)). What to do??? I also tried to use a 3c509 card, which used to work in another Linux-PC (Compaq Deskpro 66L). But here on insmod 3c509 I got device or resource busy. Is there something special which has to be setup in the Compaq-Setup/BIOS and/or with insmod like Bus Mastering or Bus Priority, Interupts, io-adresses ?? Thanks a lot for any help!

exim mailer/dhis.org/debian mailing list question
Howdy all. I'm running potato with exim mailer and i am using the dhis.org dynamic dns service (there happens to be a nice dhis.org client in unstable, though it would be easy enough to compile it or get binaries...); it is set up so that mail sent to me while i'm offline is held by dhis.org and then spooled to me when i come back online. I have a few debian lists set up to go into seperate folders and all, which is spiffy. My problem, however, is that when my mail is spooled to me, the date time are for when i received the messages from dhis.org, not when they were sent to dhis.org. This presents a problem when TKRat and TKMail (i use both) try sorting them by date and grouping subjects together; they don't necessarily show up in the order of the thread.

If this bounces, then what you need to do is enable relaying for localhost. I assume you are using exim (it's the default now); for some strange reason, the configuration script does not enable realying from 127.0.0.1, which breaks a lot of things. I always have to go in and edit the exim.conf manually, although lately I have just begun to install smail instead. Someone else will need to tell you the syntax for the exim.conf line; I don't remember it and don't have a working copy available. Carl
Problems compiling gtk+ applications.
My name's Blaise, coming out of Paris France. I'm trying to compile and install gtk+ applications with an update of the gtk library. I complete the installation of new glib and new gtk+ lib. I heard that gtk lib is in fact composed of glib, gtk and imlib. So, I have a new glib and a new gtk on my /usr/local/lib directory, and my old imlib from my Redhat 5.2 distribution on /usr/lib. When I'm running the 'configure' file of the application I wanna install, I first get an error message telling that it's not finding the right path to the gtk library. It's a problem I went through exporting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the correct path. Then when I'm running again the configure file, it says that the gtk has been found but that there's another problem with imlib this time: it says that imlib was not correctly installed or moved since installed. So I tried to uninstall imlib and imlib-devel RPM and then install them back. But the same problem is occuring. I'm deeply down and out because I got a bunch of terrific gtk apps that are waiting for gtk to get to work at last! Thanx in advance. Blouze.
Re: Re[2]: Separate list for newbies
As for the volume of the list my solution is simple: I archive in gz files every single post to the list, and I have over a year's worth of such archives. There's nothing new under the sun and chances are I am not the first person to ask a question. This is something simple anyone could do, unless they are on a system where their disk space is severely curtailed, such as at a school, etc. That's why the list is archived at debian.org. The bottom line is: if a reasonable post to this goes completely ignored that's a good indication that no one else knows the answer either! Maybe this is just completely impractical (I've just been through the dreaming up projects for next year's students process), but how about: A 'bot that scans all new posts to debian-user and automatically does a search of the list archive (plus FAQ etc), based on the subject and a scan of the body text for keywords, and then sends a response listing links to the top 5 or so results. It would have to be bright enough to filter out its own responses from future searches. If these automatic answers are incorrect, out of date, etc, somebody will quickly post better answers as followups, and next time around, the system will favour these better answers. This idea is based on little more than the vague impression that if I were to systematically submit a suitably condensed version of each new question to a list archive search engine, I would get pretty good and useful set of responses. Benefits: For the genuine FAQ's the system would quickly home in on the correct answer, and each such question would be quickly and unobtrusively answered. Nobody else need bother responding, unless they have new information rendering the standard response obsolete, thus cutting down on repetitive noise. For all questions, the first automatic response would be a quick summary of previous threads on the subject. Problems: It might make the problem worse: after all it would be sending out lots of extra messages to a list that is already busy. The system might be no good at choosing suitable keywords for the search, so the results are useless. Nobody has the time to write such a system (I certainly don't) so it never gets done. -- Gilbert Laycock email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maths and Computer Science, http://www.mcs.le.ac.uk/~glaycock Leicester Universityphone: (+44) 116 252 3902

CFS has died
Hi all, I recently noticed a problem with CFS (the cryptographic file system) on my machine. It no longer mounts the /crypt directory, and as a result, I can't use it (even tho cfsd is running). I don't know exactly when this happened, but it was sometime after I went from a 2.0.36 to a 2.2.5 kernel. I'm now using 2.2.9 and it's no different. I don't think it was just the kernel tho, as I have also been playing around with other things (like setting up IPMasq with ipchains) on my system. I don't know exactly which change killed it. The problem is as such: $ sudo mount -o port=3049,intr localhost:/null /crypt mount: RPC: Timed out This has always worked for me before (it's in an /etc/init.d/cfsd script), but now, no joy :( Any suggestions as to where I might start looking would be appreciated!

wdm and xdm co-exisitng - is this a bug?
Hi Folks, I recently installed the kde 1.1.1 debs on my slink system. Only catch was they required xdm being present, and I think wdm is much nicer (and more useful) than xdm. But, I wanted to upgrade my kde, so I installed xdm, and then went and installed kde. Now, that was a while ago, but I had not rebooted since. Today I downloaded the patches and upgraded my kernel to 2.2.9, and as a result, I had to reboot. Unfortunately, my keyboard stopped working on reboot - not even the good ol' 3-finger salute (ctl-alt-del) got any response, nor did the caps or scroll lock lights - completely dead. I tried rebooting my older kernels, but although the keyboard was working in lilo, it would again die when it finished booting (ie., when wdm started). I eventually worked out that the problem seemed to be that wdm and xdm were trying to start on top of each other. I don't any longer have an /etc/X11/options file, so I cant use that to stop one of them starting. I couldn't see any obvious options in ?dm.options that did something equivalent. Eventually I just deleted /etc/rc2.d/S99xdm - it's a bit klunky, but it seems to work. Is this a bug with either of the packages? If so, which one? xdm and wdm seem to co-exist well as regards to things like depends. I've heard someone mention switchdm in the past. When I tried that it said: $ sudo switchdm --help grep: /etc/X11/config: No such file or directory grep: /etc/X11/config: No such file or directory current configuration : don't start xdm don't start kdm Do you want : 1) start xdm 2) start kdm 3) none Your choice ? (1/2/3) [2] 3 /usr/sbin/switchdm: /etc/X11/config: No such file or directory $ obviously it's a hangover from hamm (so why is it on my slink system?)

Problem with PCI Intel EtherExpress Pro (i82865)
I would appreciate it if someone that is on the kernel list could forward this. please send all replies to my address as well as the list.

Shortcuts

I suspect I am making a fundamental mistake about the usage of X and window managers, so could some of you shed a light on this for me? Hans
Re: Shortcuts
Actuall,y you're not making any mistakes about window-managers at all. Window-manager don't have desktops for the most part. At least none of the ones you are using. Most of the window-managers use configuration files to setup buttons or shortcuts to programs through sime kind of menuing system, wharf bar, or both. KDE and Gnome (maybe others) offer the ability to create shortcuts on the desktop like windows does. If you really want this feature, I'd suggest trying one of those windowm-managers. They're both a bit buggy, but KDE is farther along than Gnome from what I've heard as far as stability is concerned.

Re: problem with my system includes
Ya, that's pretty much what I did I believe and it works fine. There are already dirs of those names in /usr/include, so you'llhave to either delete them or rename them. I recommend renaming them as a precaution. I don't use debian packages for kernels anymore, so symlinking them to /usr/src/linux/ works best for me. Once you symlink those dirs, and reboot your machine with whatever kernel /usr/src/linux is, you should be fine. As for removing your old kernel, you shouldn't have to worry about it. Old kernels don't get in the way as far as I Know. Rob On Thu, 20 May 1999, Pollywog wrote: What should I do to fix this? ### Something is wrong with the system include files on ### your machine!

The install spazed a couple of times, and when I got annoyed enough to remove it, it took a couple of things with it (like my mouse). I might try again in a month or so ... It really isn't that hard. Just a case of RTFFP. Interesting. When VMWare first came out, I was using OpenLinux, and I did not see any complaints about VMWare on the Caldera mailing list, only comments about how good it was. Maybe it is one of those libc6 v. libc5 issues. Nope, in this case I think the problem is between the chair and the keyboard. I got it up and running in about an hour, main problem was getting portions to compile with the current kernel so I could have networking. Has Win95 installed about 3 hours after that. It is not the fastest thing on the block when you only give it 16MB of RAM which ends up coming partially out of swap and running it in on a P5-100. But once installed Windows ran fine, networked with the rest of my network flawlessly. Was quite interesting SMB mounting a drive from the same physical machine. I was almost half tempted to install FreeBSD just to tweak the nose of my friend who is a FreeBSD, ex-Linux user. :) I did not try it then because I did not have a Win95 CD, only floppies. I see now that it will accept the guest OS on floppies. Yup. Personally, I think for developers VMWare is something of a godsend. Imagine this simple situation, run VMWare on your machine, give it ~16Mb or so, and then run Debian inside Debian. The outer Debian is stable, the inner is unstable. I won't call it the perfect sandbox, but for $99 bucks, it is a damned good sandbox.

Re: partition problem
Hi Hammy, I'm having a problem partitioning my hard drive with the install program. Once I run install.bat, I can setup the colour monitor and the keyboard. The next step is to partition the hard drive and this is where I am having problems. I keep getting the following error: 'Fatal error: Bad primary partition. Press any key to exit.' I have a 1.2 GB hard drive that is formatted with fat16. I also tried the install from floppy but I get the same error. I hope someone can help me. I'm really interested in getting this working. Maybe you have more luck with the Linux fdisk? I had problems too with the partitionprogram that is used with the installation. Groetjes, Ookhoi

Just for my understanding, where did you get this information? I would like to understand it a little better for future use. Thanks again, Anthony you need an access database to create some exceptions allowing relaying: create a file called /etc/mail/access with your favourite editor, put something like the following in it: example.comRELAY host.example.org RELAY anotherhost.example.netRELAY 172.16 RELAY 192.168.1 RELAY wildcards are implicit in this file -- all 'example.com' hosts will be allowed to relay, as will all hosts in the 172.16 network then run: makemap hash /etc/mail/access /etc/mail/access and restart sendmail with: /etc/init.d/sendmail reload hopefully this should work for you... see how far it gets you. regards, -tl On Wed, 19 May 1999, Anthony Landreneau wrote: From: Anthony Landreneau [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Date: Wed, 19 May 1999 12:43:45 -0500 Subject: Sendmail Relay.
