Several Questions
Greetings Fellow Debian Enthusiasts, I had a number of questions I have pondered all week, and thought perhaps someone might know the answer. Any help is most apprieciated. #1 After upgrading my slink box to potato a week or 2 ago, I started getting the following error every time I install a new package using apt-get. It occurs during the unpacking/ configuration stage, and does not seem to hurt anything, but if it can be fixed easily, I would sure like to. The error is Cannot find termcap: Can't find a valid termcap file at /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/Term/ReadLine.pm line 305 I believe I read somewhere that termcap is not usually used anymore in favor of ncurses instead? Could this be related somehow? #2 I saw several messages refer to newer source/etc for Pine, I am running 3.96 but if 4.xx is floating around out there somewhere, could someone point me in the right direction to find it? Sounds like it adds some interesting new features, etc. #3 Not really a question, more of an observation. I watched the thread on procps and bsdutils, regarding the cross inclusion of /bin/kill, and I noticed that in the latest version of one of them, kill was removed and replaced with skill. This is find and good, because I can now use the built in kill command in bash for various things, but I did have to fix the poff script for ppp, because it broke when /bin/kill because /bin/skill. Just in case anyone else had the same problem and did not know how to fix it. #4 One last question, for anyone that uses Tin/Rtin. I have no problems reading newsgroups, etc, and never had problems posting to the newsgroups on other machines where I did not set it up. However, on my own box, I can't seem to get it to post. It's set to use it's own internal inews, and I set all the options I thought were needed (email address, etc), but when I go to post I get the following message: Invalid Sender: root (root@) I created several user accounts, and got the same result from them. I checked all the normal places in /etc, /etc/tin, etc but everything looks right. The docs for Tin don't go into much depth with inews, and the inews man page is really designed for running inews externally, which I really didn't plan on doing, since I am just accessing a remote NNTP server, just for my own reading. In any case, if anyone can help with any of these, it would be great, and thanks in advance! Todd

Attention: imapd gpoing back to $HOME as mailbox root
Although a number of people have supported my decision to make $HOME/mail the mailbox root for the UW imap server I maintain, I think it will be for the best overall if I make it $HOME again. Reasons: 1) That's what most of the bug reports are about. 2) That's what the upstream distribution does. So it's less maintenance headaches for me. 3) It's what people expect. (Principle of least surprise) 4) The reasoning behind the change wasn't that good in the first place. Expect a new upload tonight or tomorrow. -- Jaldhar H. Vyas [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: LILO won't load win95, but no error...??
This is a guess based on your description of what happens. It almost sounds like you may have, at one point, had this line in your lilo.conf file... boot=/dev/hda1 and the rest of the file was the same as it is now. That would have installed lilo in the boot sector of /dev/hda1, and it may still be there, even though you have since installed Lilo in the MBR (/dev/hda). So when you choose win95, it turns things over to the Lilo boot sector in /dev/hda1 which then gives you the same menu. Linux would still boot normally in that case, but choosing win95 would keep looping you back to the same boot sector in /dev/hda1, and give you the menu again. Have you tried booting from a Win95 floppy disk and see if you can access that partition from a DOS prompt? Because if what I'm suggesting did happen, your Win95 boot record is overwritten with Lilo, and you won't be able to access your C drive. Actually, I hope I'm wrong for your sake. Tom Martin Waller wrote: Help me! I have win95 on /dev/hda1 with extended partition /dev/hda2 hda5.

It occurs during the unpacking/ configuration stage, and does not seem to hurt anything, but if it can be fixed easily, I would sure like to. The error is Cannot find termcap: Can't find a valid termcap file at /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/Term/ReadLine.pm line 305 I believe I read somewhere that termcap is not usually used anymore in favor of ncurses instead?

Sounds like it adds some interesting new features, etc. #3 Not really a question, more of an observation. I watched the thread on procps and bsdutils, regarding the cross inclusion of /bin/kill, and I noticed that in the latest version of one of them, kill was removed and replaced with skill. This is find and good, because I can now use the built in kill command in bash for various things, but I did have to fix the poff script for ppp, because it broke when /bin/kill because /bin/skill. Just in case anyone else had the same problem and did not know how to fix it. #4 One last question, for anyone that uses Tin/Rtin. I have no problems reading newsgroups, etc, and never had problems posting to the newsgroups on other machines where I did not set it up. However, on my own box, I can't seem to get it to post. It's set to use it's own internal inews, and I set all the options I thought were needed (email address, etc), but when I go to post I get the following message: Invalid Sender: root (root@) I created several user accounts, and got the same result from them. I checked all the normal places in /etc, /etc/tin, etc but everything looks right. The docs for Tin don't go into much depth with inews, and the inews man page is really designed for running inews externally, which I really didn't plan on doing, since I am just accessing a remote NNTP server, just for my own reading. In any case, if anyone can help with any of these, it would be great, and thanks in advance! Todd -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
Re: Modules source ?
Thank you. I am looking for the common 8390 and ne NIC modules source files. It seems I should explain why I am asking. I have a NIC which I am using with the ne module. It seems to work well, apart from the fact that when I boot the machine I have to disconnect the network, and reconnect it after the machine is up. Now it turned out that I have a DOS diskette with a DOS executable called linux.exe, which unzip the files fet916.c fet916.o linux.txt trans.dat. Did someone came across this fet916 name ? The file fet916.c contains the following lines, among others: [04:31:30 /tmp]$ head -n 5 NIC/fet916.c /* ne.c: A general non-shared-memory NS8390 ethernet driver for linux. */ /* Written 1992-94 by Donald Becker.

Some more questions : 1) The linux.txt file says I should compile my kernel with a fast_ethernet option. Is this because they were using slackware (it mentions rc.inet[12]) or an old kernel, or did I miss a kernel option ? 2) The file trans.dat says I should compile the source file and then cp ./fet916.o /usr/src/linux/modules/fet916.o. Should I change it to /lib/modules/2.0.36 ? On Tue, 12 Oct 1999, shaul wrote: Where can I find the modules source (*.c files) that were used to make the modules that are copied to /lib/modules/2.0.36/ by default ? Most of those are items that were selected to be compiled as modules when the kernel was compiled. So the .c files are somewhere in the kernel source tree. If you want to see which options were specified to be modularized, check /boot/config-2.0.36 (where 2.0.36 is the kernel version). Others could be from alsa, pcmcia, or some extra package. Install the source packages (alsa-source, pcmcia-source) for those, the .c files will be in there.
XF86 modelines

replacing debs with locally compiled packages
This one's a quickie. Seems to me that if I want to replace a package I've already installed with the distro (slink) with my own build of the source, I should just be able to remove (w/o purging configs) the package using dselect/dpkg and then go ahead and install my own build. Is there any possibility for hosing myself with this method? For example, right now I want to replace my Enlightenment 0.15 with the 0.16 source. I'm expecting to be able to just remove the old package and install the new one by hand. Nothing wrong with this, right? I've done this before with some smaller packages but never with anything as significant as a window manager. TIA.

Printable area for HP LJ 6L
Hi, I have an HP laserjet 6L and using magicfilter, a2ps and gs versions which came with slink. printing seems to more or less happen, except that the printable area seems to be incorrectly set. For example when I print a text file using a2ps, it starts printing too far inside the page edge and doesn't fit everything in. I've tried playing with the medium settings in a2ps, but the margins left during printing don't correspond to what I think I've set in a2ps.conf. Since I think I have a2ps set up correctly, I'm guessing the problem is with gs (I'm using the laserjet gs driver). But I can't find anyway to configure printable area in gs. I think I have the papersize correctly set to a4 (and the results are not what would be expected, if US letter was being used anyway). I farily new to linux so don't assume I know too much, Any help would be appreciated - Thanks David Purton [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I understand the different steps involced in making the istallation feasible, but I am rather apprehensive as to what will happen after I complete the install. For example: If I do... dpkg -i nmap_2.12-3.deb ...from a users home directory will it install it and configure it properly, or will it install it into that directory?

Is there anyone who can outline just the basics of the procedure and perhaps some pitfalls to watch out for. Thanks. sincerely, bwarsing.
Re: App for creating .deb files from perl Modules
If the perl module is from CPAN, you can just about take the debian directory from any debianized CPAN perl module and make it work with a minimum of changes. libnet-telnet-perl is the one i used when i did this. YMMV. Here is my problem. Maybe you can suggest a way around it. I have a very stable Slink production server that I host a web site on. I was trying to implement a shopping cart system, MiniVend, and get it to run using .dbf (Xbase) files. It requires several perl modules that are not available in Debian. They are available from CPAN. When I installed the needed modules the installation suggested that I rm some .pm files. I noticed that they were necessary to keep MANY Debian dependencies satisfied, but I removed them anyway. Then thinking I should try to clean up the installation I tested what would happen if I removed all of the offending xxx.pm files via dselect and saw that it would totrally hose my system so I retreated. Now I think I want to simply try to build my own .deb modules instead of using CPAN unless there is some way to make dselect apt recognize that the required packages are installed, though not where debian expects them.Any suggestions are greatyly appreciated. I am just beginning to learn perl and am bowled over by what can be done with it. This is still a production server so I must be cautious. -- John Foster AdVance-Computing Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ# 19460173

Do any of you see any potential problem with putting the 'nosuid' option for the '/' directory in /etc/fstab?

Re: LILO won't load win95, but no error...??
Oops - you're quite right. fdisk /MBR from a dos boot disk...? Martin From: Tom Pfeifer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: LILO won't load win95, but no error...?? Date: Mon, 11 Oct 1999 20:09:16 -0400 This is a guess based on your description of what happens. It almost sounds like you may have, at one point, had this line in your lilo.conf file... boot=/dev/hda1 and the rest of the file was the same as it is now. That would have installed lilo in the boot sector of /dev/hda1, and it may still be there, even though you have since installed Lilo in the MBR (/dev/hda). So when you choose win95, it turns things over to the Lilo boot sector in /dev/hda1 which then gives you the same menu. Linux would still boot normally in that case, but choosing win95 would keep looping you back to the same boot sector in /dev/hda1, and give you the menu again. Have you tried booting from a Win95 floppy disk and see if you can access that partition from a DOS prompt? Because if what I'm suggesting did happen, your Win95 boot record is overwritten with Lilo, and you won't be able to access your C drive. Actually, I hope I'm wrong for your sake.

Re: Netscape and its cache
I'm using netscape with wwwoffle (www offline explorer, a personal http proxy), and it works very well. If you install this package, then you can switch off the netscape cache, and the wwwoffle will keep the size of the cache below the configured limit. This solution has other advantages as well: you can search in When I tried to use wwwoffle the only thing I noticed was a continuous stream of errors: Error writing to client [Broken pipe]; client disconnected?.

3dfx and some sound questions
for a ASUS SC-200 scsi card to hook up my scanner. I have yet to set up my cdrw but I had it working on a previous install so that should work without problems. So what is this post about? Read on.. The rest of this post will be about 3dfx/openGL/Mesa etc and sound configuration. A couple of days ago I thought I would try out Myth2 for linux. Got the cd and intstalled the whole thing. And guess what :) It worked perfectly right away. I had just put in a new soundcard (Soundblaster 128PCI) and recompiled the kernel with 1370 (or was it 1371) support. Well anyway Myth2 both plays and sounds just right. Well this little experiment of gaming got me interested in some more upgrades to my Potato installation. I would like to have 3d accelleration, Glide, OpenGL, Mesa or whatever its called :) So my first question is how I would proceed to get this working? What exactly must I download, Is there any .debs that would help me? Is this any idea at the moment? What will happen in the next XFree86 (ver. 4?) release? I have an ASUS V3400. Riva tnt with 16 M. And I am currently using the SVGA driver in XFree86_3.3.5 (from potato?). I have been looking at: http://www.linux3d.org Which directs me to nvidias pages http://www.nvidia.com/Products.nsf/htmlmedia/software_drivers.html RIVA-X-GLX-1.0-glibc-i386.tar.gz seems to be what i am looking for ? Is this correct ? If so is there something special to concider here ? On http://www.mesa3d.org/ these drivers are also listed as RPMS. Is this a better solution? Use Alien to make debs and install them that way ? Is this what I need ? Did I miss something ? *** Now just some sound stuff to end this very long mail. If anyone could just advice me what to do to get a working sound environment. Alsa ? OSS ? or just recompile kernel and skip Alsa altogehter (soundblaster 128PCI). A list of stuff to install. I don't use Gnome or KDE cd-player (It should work with scsi emulation for my IDE-cd) wav,au,mp3 mixer? what else ?

It depends (aspects of this are covered in the RealPlayer documentation). First of all, if the supplier of the RA file doesn't want it saved or copied, you will not be able to do that. Such files carry some sort of signature which RealPlayer recognises and honours. For files which are not protected in this way, you may or may not be able to save them or download them directly. Some versions of RealPlayer have a save button which appears when a file, which is being played, is not protected. You can use this to save the file. Again, this is covered in the documentation. When you get the .ram file from the supplying site, this usually has a URL to the location of the .ra file (the actual audio file) itself, similar to the following: pnm://broadcast9.activate.net/radiofree/channel1.rm pnm://ras.radio.cz/zpravy.ra You will find, in the case of the first of these, that you cannot access the site with a browser and therefore, as far as I know, you will not be able to download the file directly using this URL. However, if you go to http://www.rferl.org and poke about, you may be able to find the equivalent (and, in this case, it takes a good deal of poking); in that case, you can download it by ftp. In the second case (if I remember right) you will be able to download the file directly by ftp. In summary: your mileage may vary. And in unpredictable ways. Also, is there a way to convert .rm files to wav? I don't know the answer to that (and I wish I did). Hope this helps, Ted.

Re: replacing debs with locally compiled packages
Jim wrote: This one's a quickie. Seems to me that if I want to replace a package I've already installed with the distro (slink) with my own build of the source, I should just be able to remove (w/o purging configs) the package using dselect/dpkg and then go ahead and install my own build. Do you mean that you wnat to build your own local .deb? That will work fine. As long as you give it a rev number higher than that of the existing package (you may want to use an epoch) there is no need to remove the existing package: yours will replace it. If you don't intend to build a deb, be sure and install the package in /usr/local. It won't satisfy any Debian dependencies, though. For example, right now I want to replace my Enlightenment 0.15 with the 0.16 source. I'm expecting to be able to just remove the old package and install the new one by hand.

Then i tried to scan with xsane. the preview was no problem, but when i tried to do the full scan, it stopped after doing half of the scan and i had to kill xsane manually. A minute later the whole system was halted. no more reactions to keyboard events, network accesses, anything but the resetbutton :-(( So i attached the scanner to my other box, equipped with an Advance 2941UW-controller (SYM53C8XX-driver), via a hd86-Centronics cable. and scanning was no problem at all.

Re: restarting daemons
Lev, This is the way I generally do it, although there are some other ways. First, I run less or more on /var/run/httpd.pid (I am currently running a Red Hat distro here, but you should look for the same file in the Debian box which perhaps will be locate somewehere else). This will give you the PID currently being used by the httpd process. At that point, you can become root and run kill -HUP [PID]. For example, kill -HUP 534 Incidentally, if you go to the /var/run directory you will also find some other PIDs for other daemons. The process for restarting them would be the same. Another way to do it, at least in the Red Hat box is like this: /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart Again, as in the other case, you can go down to the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory and take a look at all the scripts for the different daemons. You can actually view the files to see which flags or arguments they will take. I hope this helps.

Dragging windows around is slower than my PII/350 with a G200. This may not be totally suprising. Matrox is known for making some of the fastest (2D) cards around. Well, yes, but the Nvidia is a year newer and should be faster. Or at least roughly as fast. However, while it may sometimes be noticeable, the difference shouldn't be *obvious* in all circumstances. It seems to be. In addition, the GLX support on my G200 runs twice as quick as the TNT2. This is a pretty appalling situation, really. That's really suprising. My TNT card was noticeably faster than a G200 playing Quake2, and that was with some older ALSA sound drivers slowing things down. The G200 drivers have improved vastly recently. I get around 30fps on timedemos now. Are you using the drivers (including the patched SVGA server) from nVidia? No, because that software was incorporated into XFree86 3.3.5. That may be faster in 2D, and should probably be faster in 3D. Are you positive you're getting hardware acceleration on the TNT2? Um, how can I tell? -- alisdair mcdiarmid[EMAIL PROTECTED] []
Eggdrop and Debian
Could somebody please explain to me how I can get eggdrop working with Debian. I have installed tcl8 using both *.dev and *.tar.gz. But everytime, even tho I know tcl is installed...when I try and run eggdrop (yes it compiles just fine) it says... ./eggdrop: error in loading shared libraries libtcl8.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Yes I did configure with --enable=shared. Please tell me if this is a common problem and if so please tell me how I can fix it. Richard

Anyone using Sound Blaster PCI64?
Hi, At the moment I am using a Sound Blaster vibra16x pnp card, this card is not really supported by OSSFree (kernel) or ALSA. Although the card produces sound, it gives dma errors when using the second dma channel and it is unable to work in full duplex. I am getting fed up with this card I am thinking about a new one. The PCI64 by Sound Blaster seems a good candidate. Does anyone have experience using this card? Some Questions: - Can I configure it with ISAPNP? If not, how do I do it? - Does it work full duplex? Any suggestions appreciated, Thanks, Joop -- Joop Stakenborg PA4TU, ex-PA3ABA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Amateur Radio Software Database http://radio.linux.org.au
