It may be the CMOS BIOS that's got corrupted (If I remember aright, the CIS/Chernobyl virus does just that if it gets the chance). So as a first try, I suggest you switch on the machine and catch it early enough to switch into BIOS setup, which any intact machine will allow even if there are no bootable media available. Then have a look at the BIOS, especially the boot settings. If the BIOS looks normal, then start looking at hardware. Motherboard? paper-clip fallen in there? ... Ted.

syslog config question
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hello. I have a question that's been nagging at me for quite some time, and it's finally gotten to the point where I need to ask somebody. I am using the standard slink syslog.conf file, and I have bind installed to provide name service for my local network. Every hour, named does some housekeeping work (clears its cache, etc), the output of which is processed by syslog. Syslog sends it to /dev/xconsole and /var/log/daemon.log. I would like to send these messages to a different file, becase they are cluttering the daemon.log file and making it difficult to locate the more interesting information. I have read man 5 syslog.conf and man 8 sysklogd, but I'm still not sure what changes need to be made. I believe I need to alter the priority of the messages that go to daemon.log, but how do I know what priority these messages are? And how do I know the priority of the messages that I _want_ sent to daemon.log (specifically, connection attempts logged by tcp wrappers and tcplogd)? If I discover that they're the same priority, am I out of luck?

Re: backspace character does not exists in xterm,
I believe if you choose the keyboard type correctly when you do XF86Config, the key mapping should be set right basically. So I would check the XF86Config, make sure the keyboard selection is OK. You may also look at the file .Xmodmap in /etc/X11 directory ( It may not in the same directory on your machine). It is a system wide modmap file. It has the key mapping information. or you can create your own .Xmodmap at your home directory. The file Xinitrc should call it when xstarts. Unfortunately, setting keymapping is far complicated. type man xmodmap for how to manually set key mapping.

Re: backspace character does not exists in xterm,
If you floppy device (fd0) is bootable (It is default setting on most BIOS), you could use Linux Rescue Boot Disk as Brian said. It works. If you floppy device (fd0) could not be booted, you may check the user manual of your machine and see how to reconfigure boot setting of BIOS. You must set floppy device to be the primary boot.

Re: OT : RAM, please help.
I worked for a long time as a computer repair tech, and Gateways are a pain in the neck. What has probably happened is that the Gateway Tech you talked with wasn't paying attention looking at the specs for your system. I personally have had about 50% success with runnning PC100 RAM in a 66mhz system. Some will take it, others just float off into la la land when they are counting RAM. It is usually because the motherboard has a problem with the clock chip on the RAM(very tiny black chip, normally off to right or left side). IMHO, your best bet would be to return the RAM you have and get some slower, and less expensive non PC100 RAM, or pitch the Gateway and get a brand new computer. J.W.

Hello David,
I had the same problem with my ISDN adapter. The problem appeared when I
enabled multilink on the device.
The matter is that when turned on multilink, compression was also active. And
that was the problem. The remote
access server on my ISP doesn't support any kind of compression. And any
attempt to request compression wasn't
replied (although it should), and my adapter keep on sending config-requests.
The solution on my case was disable any kind of compression. May be you'd
like to try this. I don't know
how to do that on your modem but on mine was ATK00.
Let me know if that works for you.

Re: using ccmalloc
when i used ccmalloc without the .o suffix it linked fine i think (at list the linker didn't give any warnings that it wasn't working) The problem is that when i ran the program i got no deferent output, so the question is how do i actually use ccmalloc to track the memory leaks?

[Debian: Back-Up] How to back up ???
Hello to all. I have installed the base of Debian 2.1 and it works. Hmm, I have done this on the same machine several times, because I have installed some programs and crashed the full system !!! Now my question:How can I back-up the Installation ??? I have a SCSI controller AIC 6x60 with a ZIP-Drive. My harddisk is a IBM DTTA 351680 (Ultra-ATA) Previously I will install not more then the 'Base', XFree86, StarOffice, a very good E-Mail client and the development source for 'The Linux Router Project' I think, If I use the LRP-Floppy as Back-Up helper it is enough. For the Back-Up program I have around 250 KByte. The back-up DATA can be stored on the ZIP-Drive. Possible I will upgrade to the new 250 MB ZIP-Drive. Or I use a LS-120. So I can store the LRP, BAck-Up program and the Back-Up Data on one Disk, which is bootable. I am thinking on one or more (smaller and better to handle) TGZ files for the Structur. Please can anyone help me ??? I have a very good experience with ZIPed OS because I develop under WfW 3.11 (Winblow9x od NT not required) and I have crashed my workstation 100 or more times.

I am NEWBIE and I do not like to install all the stuff every time new if I destruct it. This is, because I think, I will install the 'base' of Debian 2.1, back up to LS-120 and the I try to install only XFree86 and if it running I make a new back-up.

I told him to order the SDRAM, and now that memory arrives, each chip is recognised as 8M (instead of 32M). I talked to the company, they are willing to exchangejust I don't know for what. Gateway people don't know much, and tell me to use their store instead (that charges 2x). I have several suspicions: 1. Memory that we ordered was PC100, but board runs at 66 max. Gateway techsupport told me it would work. 2. When my stepfather first called them, he ordered 4x16 modulo, but I told him to call back and change the order to 4x64 I'm not much help, but since I didn't see any answers to your post I thought I'd stir up some of the experts. My first impression is that you probably received the 4x64 that you ordered since the smallest DIMM I've seen is a 2x64 (16mb) and the 168pin DIMMS are all either x64 or x72 - at least I think they are. (someone out there correct me if I'm wrong.) You could confirm that by asking the vendor how to identify the size of the DIMMs that were sent. Next possibility is that the PC100 type doesn't play on that computer? However, I've seen 100 MHz DIMMs running at 66 MHz without a problem and gateway techsupport says that it will. So while it still could be the problem, I'd begin to suspect something in the setup of the board. I know that you probably already checked all this. But just in case you didn't ... Did gateway techsupport or the motherboard manual mention any setting that needed to be made for the clock speed of the chips? All the DIMMs I've seen were recognized automatically, but I'm unfamiliar with gateway so it's possible that some setting need to be changed. Any Gateway Experts out there?

Re: [Debian: XFree86] Minimal requirements
Hi Michelle; I don't believe that Linux (any distribution) and XFree will both fit on your ZIP disk. You can not install X without graphic card dependencies. That is, to display X sessions on your computer there must be an xserver that knows how to speak to your graphics hardware. OTOH, you can install as many different xservers on any one machine as you want (though only one is the default).

Re: [Email Converter] Eudora 3.06 (Windows) to Linux ...

Hello,
I am using a Workstation on WfW 3.11 with my E-Mailer Eudora 3.06.
Now I upgrade to a Debian 2.1 Workstation and I like to keep all
E-Mails (around 300 MBytes) from my Windows Workstation. Disk
space is no problem !!! What is with E-Mail clients which user
compressed Mail-Folder ??? OK, curently I have no XFree86 or
anything else (only the base installation) and I do not know, which
E-Mail program I can/must use.
But I need a very good E-Mail client with the functionality of
Eudora.
If you are interested in a GUI e-mail client, try netscape mail. elm
is an easy-to-use terminal based e-mail client, however most people
have converted to using mutt since it is much more powerful.
Note, that I like to install XFree86.
But curently I get one million errors while installing !!!
I am looking for a Mail-Folder converter.
I have attached below a perl script I wrote to convert Eudora
mailboxes (.mbx files) to unix mailbox format. Just forwarning, I
have only had to use it a couple of times, so it isn't widely tested.
Make sure you keep your Eudora mailboxes until you know they were
converted correctly! :) Also, it doesn't deal with attachments. You
will need to place script below in a file called eud2unix.pl and make
it executable (chmod 700 eud2unix.pl will do the trick). You can then
copy over you Eudora inbox and execute:
./eud2unix.pl inbox.mbx mailbox
This will save the unix formated mailbox in the file 'mailbox'. You
can test if it was converted succesfully by running the elm mail
client (fairly simple to use):
elm -f mailbox
Hope this helps. Please feel free to e-mail me if you run into
problems.

Most people told you to rm ./file or rm 'file' but that won't work of course since you can't input the filename from the keyboard at all. (The name as you typed it looks like it consists of escape sequences, not something you can easily type on the keyboard.) So it's a better idea to use the shell's wildcard expansion to do the work for you. You can type rm -i * and then answer n for every file except for this one. It does look like escape sequences, but what key would produce ?[4~ ... the closest I can find is PgDn which produces ^[[4~. Is there a table/chart/listing of these somewhere for a linux term? the ? means unprintable character, and is probably really a ^[ (aka \e) (but the shell cant print it). you cant know what the first chars are though. the rm -i thing is the easiest (well here you could also use rm *[4~ since this is not likely to match another name). when there are too many files you can also use ls -i, then find. i guess this must be explained in every unix faq. -lex pgpX20CANhAAw.pgp Description: PGP signature

What inkjet color printers are well supported?
Hi, Rather that comming up with 'the wrong' TM printer that is not well supported and asking to the list how do I get it work with debian. I do it the other way around... I am planning for a color inkjet purchase, I gatherned several info and welcome suggestions and feedbacks. Is the following info correct? what would you add to it? - no USB support for printer yet, so printer stay on printer port now - drivers for epson are usually better than for HP - epson 740 seems to be a safe choice, but what about the 900? - ALPS MD-1300 appears as very good but has apparently not linux driver (?) - Other printer look good - eg: lexmark Z51 or lexmark color 40. I don't know how is supported the z51,and while the color 40 is native postscript, it is not top quality for photo. I'd like the printer to print pictures nicely and am looking at a price range between 200 and 500 EUR (or $ if you will) Best regards, Bernard

Re: X window resolution extremely low
Lev, One way you can check what's going on is to type Control-Alt-F1 (assuming that X was started from the first virtual terminal). You should see some info like below. You can get back to X by typing Control-Alt-F7. This should tell you what modes are available. If what you want is there, then edit the Screen section (example below) of your XF86Config that applies to your x server. If your server recognizes the DefaultColorDepth parameter you can set your default depth that way, otherwise you can use startx -- -bpp depth with whatever depth you want to start with.

So for example, if user RUDY logs on, it executes the /home/rudy/script file, and when ROOT logs on, it executes the /root/script file! Could anybody please give me some examples? Yes. Exactly how it works depends a lot on what your setup is. 1) Not using xdm a) Shell is sh, bash, ash, ksh or other Bourne-shell derivative: Every login (except, perhaps, root?) first runs /etc/profile. Next a file in your home directory is run; which one it is depends on which shell you are running.

So for example, if user RUDY logs on, it executes the /home/rudy/script
file, and when ROOT logs on, it executes the /root/script file!
your shell takes care of this for you. Note the bash manpage ('man
bash') for the specifics of what it executes and when, but the summary
is this:
if a shell is a login shell (like when you sit down and LOG IN) it
executes:
/etc/profile
~/.bash_profile
~/.bash_login
~/.profile
(note: login shells execute ~/.bash_logout when they exit)
if it is not a login shell (typically, xterms use non-login shells --
as a general, but not universal rule, if you need a password to start
it, it's a login shell), it executes:
~/.bashrc
Other shells have equivalent files, but you'll have to look in the
manpages for the details.

Re: Login script!
*- On 7 Aug, Rudy Broersma wrote about Login script! Hi, Is it possible that Linux executes a script file when a user logs on? So for example, if user RUDY logs on, it executes the /home/rudy/script file, and when ROOT logs on, it executes the /root/script file! Could anybody please give me some examples? Yes. Each shell has its own files. So look at the man pages for the shell that you use. From the bash man page: When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/pro file, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior. When a login shell exits, bash reads and executes commands from the file ~/.bash_logout, if it exists. From the tcsh man page A login shell begins by executing commands from the system files /etc/csh.cshrc and /etc/csh.login. It then executes commands from files in the user's home directory: first ~/.tcshrc (+) or, if ~/.tcshrc is not found, ~/.cshrc, then ~/.history (or the value of the histfile shell vari able), then ~/.login, and finally ~/.cshdirs (or the value of the dirsfile shell variable) (+). The shell may read /etc/csh.login before instead of after /etc/csh.cshrc, and ~/.login before instead of after ~/.tcshrc or ~/.cshrc and ~/.history, if so compiled; see the version shell vari able. (+) Non-login shells read only /etc/csh.cshrc and ~/.tcshrc or ~/.cshrc on startup. [] When a login shell termi nates it sets the logout shell variable to `normal' or `automatic' as appropriate, then executes commands from the files /etc/csh.logout and ~/.logout. The shell may drop DTR on logout if so compiled; see the version shell variable. -- Brian - Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis -

cfdisk says hda is smaller than it really is!
I am trying to install Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 on a Dell Inspiron 7000 with a 14.1GB hard drive. Currently, Win98 has half of it and I am hoping to give Linux the other half. During the partitioning part of the installation process, however, cfdisk tells me, yes, Win98 has a 6740MB partition, but there is only some 800MB free! So, uh, any suggestions? Thanks in advance. - d.
Bizarre problem, at my wits' end
I am having the strangest problem. As a demonstration, I took my Potato server into singleuser mode, unmounted the partition mounted on /tmp, and overwrote the first 128k with data from /dev/zero. I then rebooted (`shutdown -r now') to show how fsck worked (new admin) - well, it also checked my RAID- seems that something didn't work right when rebooting in single-user mode. So, it checks the disks, and everything is fine. Except that ppp dosen't work. After some debugging, I conclude that it is a problem with our ISP, leave a message (it was Saturday) and leave the box. Well, it wasn't an ISP problem. Something is very wrong with my box. My serial ports don't work properly- pilot-xfer won't connect to my Palm IIIx; ppp connections will start, but LCP packets seem not to get sent even though pppd reports sending them; mgetty will answer the line, but sends garbage. This was just after I ran apt-get to bring my system up to date (no perl updates though) - it updated libc6 and some other stuff. All this happened on July 31st, and serial stuff still isn't working. I have tried everything- a new kernel, re-configuring setserial, adding/removing modems and serial ports (via BIOS), re-installing libc6, including an older version. Everything works fine on a different Potato box. Everything works fine if I use a rescue boot/root disk. Does anyone have some idea what has gone wrong and how I should fix it? Is there an option other than reinstalling? -- .- | Ian Eure [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Network Administrator, Cross Sound Appraisal Company | | A conclusion is simply the place where someone got tired of thinking.

And how do I launch it? An interesting question for a Debian list. I'll assume you installed it with rpm into a Debian system (otherwise, there are better places to ask). You probably should have converted the .rpm to a .deb with alien, so that dpkg could recognize it, but since you didn't, I believe you can get a list of the files which were installed with 'rpm -ql packagename'. This is similar to the Debian command 'dpkg -L packagename'. This command should show you the path as well as the names of the files. Alternatively, you can find what files are in the .rpm package by using 'rpm -qpl packagename.rpm'. You might consider removing the package and using alien to make a Debian package and then install it with 'dpkg -i packagename.deb'. This would allow you to use the Debian tools instead of rpm. As for launching the application, once you identify the location of the executable, you can make a local menu entry, run 'update-menus' and have it on the menu of your window manager.
