Re: More questions...
Definitely go with slink. I would say that to even the most experienced linux users, if they're new to debian. Once you're comfortable with that, consider going to potato. Keep in mind that potato is unstable which means it has not been officially released yet, and won't be for some time. -Brad On Mon, 12 Jul 1999, Chris Concannon wrote: > Hello again > > I have a few more questions, but first I'd like to sincerely thank everyone > who took the time to reply to my last series of questions (the "Argh!

I can't decide whether to install from my Slink CDs then upgrade everything (speaking of which, I tried to go to the netgod site to look at the X updates, but I couldn't connect, and when I tried to go in Netscape, it asked for a password..), or to download Potato and cross my fingers that I can get it to work. I think it's suitable for me to elaborate a bit more on myself and what I intend to use this machine for. I want to use this computer as a learning tool. I want to learn as much about my computers and computer languages (I have my eyes fixed on C, Python, and Perl at the moment) as possible.

I am a Linux novice, even though I've installed several distributions multiple times. I don't need a rock-solid-stable system, but I don't want something that I have to fight with every day just to get it to work.

Actually, if apt is as easy as I've heard it is, it could actually be a plus that frequent updates come out. If anyone can make sense out of everything I've typed, and could offer some advice, I'd appreciate it. Chris

That's what sndconfig did for me, so if you use I've never tried RedHat, and so I'm not familiar with sndconfig, but I've always wondered why Debian didn't have a 'isapnpconfig' script that could read a pnpdump file and build a menu of options for generating a proper isapnp.conf file (something like what pppconfig does for ppp).

All help appreciated. I don't know what the name of the driver (*.o) is because I have always had ATAPI support builtin to the kernel. In 2.0.35 (and most probably 2.0.36), there is no way to build ATAPI support as a module. With 2.2.10, it can be modularized. In the kernel's config (of 2.0.35), ATAPI support is under the "Floppy, IDE, and other block devices" menu. When you turn on "Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support", there will appear an option called "IDE/ATAPI CDROM support". Turn on these items and rebuild your kernel. FWIW. -- Ed C.

I don't know but a work-around is to boot into Windows (or find some other computer with a net connection) and type "nslookup ns1.yourisp.com" and use that address.

1.3 to 2.0 upgrade probs
Hi List, I have had a quick look at the archive list for a clue to this one as it is probably an old issue, but to no avail. I currently have a Deb1.3 system and have finally got around to installing 2.0 on it but have been having all sorts of troubles with my CD-Rom drive. It is a Debian CD but it seems the drive doesn't recogise some packages/files on it as they are zero length. I initially thought the CD was broken and sent it back to the vendor, who returned it saying there was no problems with. The only suggestion was that Debian cut CD's with Joliet and Rock Ridge extensions and that could be causing me problems. I currently run a 2.0.33 kernal with iso9660 fs support. so I would not thought it could be related to the filesystem support as iso9660 does handle the RR stuff OK.doesn't it? So I am sending this message in the vain hope that somebody remembers problems they may have had in the past with a 1.3 -> 2.0 upgrade. I already downloaded the 'cd_autoup.sh' from the debian site as that one was broken on the CD. I guess it could be some sort of wierd libc5 to libc6 issue, but I thought I had that under control. I really do not want to newfs the drives ..etc and install from scratch(this is not Win95 ;-) but if that is the only way out, so be it. Thanks for any help, Darryl
how to configure atapi cdrom?
I recently purchased a new atapi cdrom (Samsung model SCR-3231) and I'm having trouble finding a driver for it. According to the CDROM HOWTO at 3.1, ___ 3.1 ATAPI CD-ROM Drives ATAPI (ATA Packet Interface) is a protocol for controlling mass storage devices. It builds on the ATA (AT Attachment) interface, the official ANSI standard name for the IDE interface developed for hard disk drives. ATAPI is commonly used for hard disks, CD-ROM drives, tape drives, and other devices. Currently the most popular type of interface, it offers most of the functionality of SCSI, without the need for an expensive controller or cables. The Linux kernel has a device driver that should work with any ATAPI compliant CD-ROM drive. Vendors shipping compatible drives include Aztech, Mitsumi, NEC, Sony, Creative Labs, and Vertos. If you have recently purchased a CD-ROM drive, especially if it is quad speed or faster, it is almost guaranteed to be IDE/ATAPI. Linux also has an IDE SCSI emulation kernel driver that makes an IDE/ATAPI device appear in software to be a SCSI device, allowing the use of a SCSI device driver instead of the native ATAPI driver. This is useful if you have an ATAPI device for which no native driver has been written (for example, an ATAPI PD-CD or CDR drive); you can then use this emulation together with an appropriate SCSI device driver. ___ How do I apply this? My Debian kernal (2.0.36) doesn't recognize the drive upon startup. When I go into modconf and try to select cdrom drivers, it doesn't have a listing for Samsung drives, nor does it list a generic ATAPI driver. Regarding the third paragraph of the HOWTO, I don't understand exactly what steps I'm supposed to take to get the atapi cdrom recognized as a SCSI device. How do I get this drive working? All help appreciated.

Re: Network setup.

I want to write a C program (I know it's a developer issue...), using , for example, the function gethostname. Where do it applies?

problems with htaccess
Hi! My apache seems to be ignoring the .htaccess file. Everythings correct (the permissions, etc). I've even tried to copy the same .htaccess to a different server and it worked there. Then I looked into the configuration files of the other server and everything seems like mine. Does anyone know of something that could affect apache's behavior for htaccess?

Those that aren't probably aren't for a reason.

As you have an ne2000 card the section on them should be useful. My experience of them is that I had to disable PnP on my card, then it worked perfectly. (I had been getting device busy errors.) In answer to your point about device busy before you have installed the card it is usually because of an irq problem or a conflict of some kind. If you have a PnP card and the PnP can't be disabled try using the dos setup utility that came with the device. Peter Allen

Hans van den Boogert writes: > But isn't that changed when you invoke #route -add default ppp0? The defaultroute is the route used when no other matches: it makes no sense to have more than one. If you do and they both have the same metric the first one in the routing table seems to be used (I assume that if the metrics differ the better one will be used). I don't know in what order routes are added, but it isn't the order of creation. On this box a defaultroute to eth0 comes before one to ppp0 even if the one to ppp0 was created first. Thus "route -add default ppp0" won't have any effect. You must first delete the undesired route. Unless you need to have a defaultroute pointing to eth0 (and you almost certainly do not) the best solution is to fix /etc/init.d/networks so that it never creates it. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI

XDM: root can log in, user can not
Hi, I recently installed debian 2.0. I also upgraded the X package to 3.3.3.1 from the X86Free site. I commented out 'no-start-xdm' and added 'start-xdm' in my /etc/X11/config file so that xdm would start. It starts fine. I can log in as root and it works great. However, if I try to log in as the normal user I created, it seems to accept it. The screen changes, but then it kicks me back to the login screen. The file /var/logs/xdm-errors has messages that say: AUDIT: Mon Jul 12 10:17:54 1999: 236 X: client 2 rejected from local host What did I do wrong, or what do I have to change to give my user account permission to log into xdm locally?

Re: gnome-session/panel error
Thanks for the reply. I did that, and that does fix the panel problem. I'm still having a problem with gnome-session though. I used to be able to start gnome-session either with xdm or kwm and it would startup the last window manager I was using, and any other programs that were running when I closed that windows session. Now, gnome-session looks like it hangs up, and doesn't start anything, not even the window manager. I was hoping that using dselect to uninstall the gnome packages and then reinstalling those packages would correct the problem. This didn't seem to work, however.

No. The ip you get from your isp is intended to be your "local" ip, that is, the ip of the ppp interface. Pppd gets it (and the ip of the isp's machine) from the isp and gives it to the kernel which attaches it to the ppp interface. This is all automatic when dynamic ip addressing is used. > I tried both 'noipdefault' and 192.168.0.1: but I am not sure which one > actually worked. "noipdefault" is the right one for you to use.

Pppd takes care of the latter. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI

Make sure it's not a module unless you compiled support for your SCSI card as a module also or the module will not be loaded in time to detect the scanner.

Understanding apm on an intranet server
Hello! Is there some walkthrough to configure apm to do everything to lower power consumption (i.e. turn off hard drives, set the cpu to low power mode, switch off the monitor, whatever else) even if I'm not using a laptop? It could be interesting to have a server (e.g. a print server, or a local diald masquerading connection manager, or an intranet web server, or both) that needs not to be switched off after work time, but can use the least possible power when inactive until maintenance time overnight, and sit sleeping again until the first connection the next morning: what are all the exact things I need to do for this? How can I configure apm (I found no configuration files for it, except the two empty suspend.d/resume.d directories in /etc/apm)? Where do I disable writing --MARK-- lines in log files (that cause hard disks activity and turn them on)? What are slink's standard periodical events (e.g. mail checks) that I should disable, or set not to be run beyond work time, or better, not to be be run when the system is in low-power mode? Is this last thing possible, and if it is, how? And now, some more specific troubleshooting: When going back and forth from X I get this message on console: apm: set display ready: Unrecognized device ID while, instead of a monitor switchoff after the usual 10 (?) minutes being idle, I get this: apm: set display standby: Unrecognized device ID Why? What do they mean? Why isn't my monitor switched off and how can I get it to do it? OTOH X's dpmi is working well. Bye and TYA, Enrico -- GPG public key available on finger -l [EMAIL PROTECTED]
printing on a pcl printer is slow!
Hello! I have a Debian box that, among other things, shares an HP LaserJet 5 connected to a parallel (ECP/EPP) port for a mixed win95/linux environment. If I print from win95 everything is fine, but printing from Linux (that involves using GhostScript to convert PostScript to PCL to feed the printer) the printer is always stopping waiting and processing data. I discovered that PCL generated from windows is small and compact, where PCL generated by GhostScript is _huge_. As an example, a LaTeX-made 5 page 78Kb PostScript with no images becomes 610Kb when converted to PCL and ready to print, and I've seen greather growth. I guess the slowdown is caused by the limited throughput of the parallel interface. I am using gs-aladdin 5.50-3 on a plain Slink system, input is filtered by /etc/magicfilter/ljet4-filter (since there was no ljet5-filter), and magicfilter is version 1.2-28. And now, the questions: - Why is PCL generated from GhostScript so big? - Are there plans to optimize it? - Are there plans to make libraries and utilities for printing directly PCL? (like a dvipcl or direct pcl output for Gnome and KDE printing systems) - Are there plans to make GhostScript interact with the printer to query for installed fonts, or to make an utility to query for installed fonts and generate a configuration file for GhostScript? - Are there plans to make some printing system able to exploit printer specific options? For example I know that the HP LaserJet 5 supports selection of resolution, toner saving, printing multiple copies and such, but I have to resort to the printer's panel to control these settings. - Is there some way to turn a Linux box into an high performance PostScript module for a printer? - How can I print my documents at 12ppm from Linux?

un-umount-able hd and irqs of pci
Two questions, first something that has been annoying me for ages is that I can't umount my /usr partition, it gives device or resource busy. This happens even when I boot from rescue disk and mount it manually, then try umount ing it. Also, the kernel cannot umount it when it shuts down, and can't run e2fsck on it when it starts up. It is a 4Gb partition on /dev/hda1. Second, I cannot remmember how to change the interrupt request of a pci card. I know I have read how to somewhere, but I can't get it to work. The problem I am having is that both my graphics card and my soundcard are trying unsuccesfully to share irq 11. I can't change it in my bios because the only option is to change irq 11 from pnp/pci to legacy isa, which moves both to another interupt, both the same one. Thanks in adavance, Peter Allen

Since I am a LINUX newbie, this is not a trivial task. Sorry, there is no other way. But compiling your own kernel would be a good practice, and will clear the kernel you have of umm...features that you don't need. And there is nothing hard in kernel compilation. The installation of the kernel package is automatic if it's in .deb, and just tar -xzf kernel-package.tar.gz if it's not. Just make sure you have the bin86 package. Even though it is listed as a 'recommended' (I think), it is essential to the process. You don't want to wait N minutes to get the kernel compile error at the end. The only thing you really need to know are the parameters of your soundcard, and RTFineM before you start configuring your kernel (don't put too many things into the kernel, maybe use modules for some.

In that case I still want to be able to work locally by picking the local machine from the chooser.

If this configuration file also affects a server running on the same system, this is a bug IMHO. Greetings Marc -- -- !!

Re: TERM=vt100 for telnet
Patrick: Telnet is (or contains) a "terminal emulator". The terminal that your telnet is emulating (apparently) is the DEC VT-100. A terminal is a physical piece of hardware that consists of a monitor, a keyboard, and a serial port, and not much else. Since your computer also has a monitor, a keyboard, and a serial port, and is furthermore able to be re-programmed, you can make it pretend like it is one of these terminals. (Telnet has taken it a step further, using a network port instead of a serial port.) vi does not require that you use a VT-100 terminal emulator, but it (and all programs that use full-screen terminal capabilities) require that your TERM variable reflect the type of terminal you are actually using. AFAIK, the benefits of choosing one type of terminal over another are minimal. Usually, performance is more a matter of how well the software emulates the terminal it is supposed to be. Setting TERM in .bashrc is fine, as long as you always (or most often) use a telnet with VT-100 emulation. You can always re-set TERM from the command line in the rare case where you use a different emulator. Also, the telnet protocol supports the automatic negotiation of terminal type. You might want to find a telnet program that performs this negotiation.

Off the top of my head I wonder if you had >'defaultroute' set as a ppp option? No, the problem is with mick. First I did #ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up Then, #route add -net 192.168.0.0 Then, #route add default ppp0 Routing to mack went fine, but I couldn't get through to the net. The above procedure was taken from the Net-3 HOWTO I'm also not sure about something in pppconfig: it asks you for an IP address, but strongly advises you not to change the 'noipdefault' . It furthermore suggests that if you have a local IP (I read in this: the intranet's IP of your machine, but I could be wrong) and an IP from your ISP, to enter them as 192.168.0.1:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where the x-es represent the ISP assigned IP), so separated with a colon. In case you get a dynamic IP from your ISP (which I do), then just use the local IP ending with a colon. I tried both 'noipdefault' and 192.168.0.1: but I am not sure which one actually worked. I simply ping to my provider and then to mack to see if I can get through. The NET-3 HOWTO is pretty clear about the network setup, but I'm pretty new at this and would like some reference. The answer to my first mail already helped a lot, so thanks. Cheerio, Hans
hostname not reading /etc/hostname
I've just noticed that hostname doesn't read /etc/hostname when called with the command "hostname --file /etc/hostname". This may be because I'm using kernel 2.2.10 in slink. I've had to modify /etc/rcS/d/S40hostname.sh to make it work.
