Re: Sharing apt-gets cache dir
Hello Peter, I have a shared atp archive working successfully. I too had the same problem of not being able to do anything with the lock file through the NFS share. So I assumed that I couldnt get around this easily so avoided the problem by creating a link from the NFS share back to the local filespace. An example is always nice, so here goes: make neccessary NFS mount, mine is at /nfs/ftp cd /var/cache/apt mv archives old.archives ln -s /nfs/ftp/apt-cache archives touch apt-lock cd archives ln -s /var/cache/apt/apt-lock lock cd .. cp old.archives/*.deb archives Its a complete cheat, but everything seems to work just fine. The only thing I havent checked is what happens when I try and run dselect (or apt) on multiple machines at the same time. Could be interesting!!! Hope this helps.

Corel Linux
What exactly does it mean if a distribution is based on Debian? Would any packages created for debian work with it? Are new releases created when new rew releases of the Debian kernel are? Etc. I'm asking because I've been hearing a lot about Corel Linux and it looks pretty nice... i just recently installed Debian on an old 486 that I got from work and I love it, and plan on using it a) to get aquainted with linux and b) for some low-level server stuff, like ip masquerading for a couple other systems, a small web site, and maybe a small ftp site... But I'm a bit frustrated by the normal problems one has moving to linux from windows (yeah I'm a wimp)... lack of GUI-based configuration and management, for one corel's release seems to break down some of those walls *shrug* Any answers, kind advice, or constructive criticisms are much appreciated... --Nick
Re: Booting from floopy slow
Howdy: Antonio Rodriguez I installed Debian slink in a second hard drive, which is hdb1 (there are hda1 to hda4), my system does not allow booting from a slave hard drive, so I use the floppy system, but it is very slow. What can I do to accelerate it? snip This is what I've had to do... in your /etc/lilo.conf, edit the line that says boot=/dev/hdb1 (or whatever..) and change it to say /dev/fd0 (your first floppy disk)... Then save the file, insert a blank disk. After that, just type lilo from your command prompt. On my computer, /etc/lilo.conf looks like this... boot=/dev/fd0 root=/dev/hdb1 install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map vga=normal delay=20 image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only then, when I run the lilo command, it looks like this: LinuxBox:~# lilo If you have a blank disk in the floppy, it should say something like Added Linux * or something like that. Then, the next time you reboot, use the floppy you just made, to start linux...

Re: what a hack (dselect solution)
Aaron Solochek wrote: Ok, as regular readers probably know, I was having problems with dselect. It was complaing about not finding /usr/share/debconf/confmodule or something similar. There was a /usr/share/debconf/confmodule.sh, so I decided, to cp that file leaving out the .sh, to appease dselect. It seems to have worked, WTF? What did I do? why would this problem have surfaced in the first place. Was it just checking for the existance of that file, and not actually reading or writing it? I thought about symlinking confmodule to confmodule.sh, but instead I upgraded debconf by hand, ie - 'apt-get install debconf'. That installed the proper confmodule script, and 'apt-get dselect-upgrade' finished the job without any more trouble. The problem seems to be packages requiring a more recent version of debconf not having a proper versioned dependancy. Frank
Adding a style to TeX
Hi Folks,
I have a mostly-slink-with-some-potato system, using the slink version
of teTeX. I've recently been playing around with using BiBTeX for a
bibliography for a paper that I'm writing, which is the first time I
have ever used BiBTeX. I found a style called apacite, which is exactly
what I need to do my references the way they need to be formatted
(following the Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association).
At work I have MikTeX set up, which is a TeX distribution for Windoze
(as I am cursed with an NT Box). To set up apacite at work I just had to
copy the relevent *.sty and *.bst files into the localtexmf directory,
run a program to update TeX, and it worked wonderfully.
However, I'm at a loss as to how to do this with my slink tetex. I make
a couple of directories in /usr/local/lib/texmf and put in the required
files (apacite.bst and apacite.sty). The tetex doc said to run `texhash'
to update the ls-R file, which I did (as root).
When I try and run latex on my paper, I get the following error:
! Undefined control sequence.
l.111 \citeA
{easteal-93}. Yet while technically accurate, such a
definition
Which suggests to me that the apacite package isn't being used. It also
is not mentioned at the top of the tex output.
Can anyone suggest what I might have missed? The exact same files work
perfectly on my NT box at work.
While I'm at it, is there any way to view a compressed dvi file without
having to decompress it? I have not had any luck with gunzip blah.dvi.gz
| xdvi (it just pops up xdvi's open dialog box). I presume there is some
way to do it, but I can't for the life of me work it out.
Cheers,
damon

IP Aliasing on slink/2.2.12
Hi gang, I've got a pretty base slink install with a few additions (all the proposed updates, and some stuff from netgod), for which I have compiled a cusom 2.2.12 kernel. I have IP alias support compiled into the kernel: callisto% grep ALIAS /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_IP_ALIAS=y However, when I try and create an alias, according to the ifconfig output, it has been created, but it wont respond to a ping or any sort of connection attempt expect from itself. I can create an IP alias in exactly the same way on the RedHat 5.2 box with a 2.2.x kernel sitting next to it and ping it immediately from anywhere on the network. The same thing doesn't work on the Debian box, however. The pings do not even show up in the iplog syslog entries. There are no firewall rules, IPChains rules, or anything unusual like that running on the box. dpkg -l netbase gives the following: ii netbase 3.12-2 Basic TCP/IP networking binaries I should note that this machine's primary eth0 IP address works file (I'm using SSH to connect to it as I speak). This has got me stumped! We want to replace our RedHat server with a Debian one, as it's a lot easier for me to admin a Debian box. But unless I can work this out, I'm up sh*t creek!

PPP - almost there, but stuck on routing table :(
Hello, I have recently aquired a PPP-based ISP, in hopes to get linux network connectivity. I have been working with the PPP howto, and got PPP somewhat working. I am stuck at the point where a route -n only shows ONE ppp0 connection, where the howto says it should show TWO. I am able to ping the IP address of the remote machine OK. I am not able to do anything else though. No default route stuff shows up, and I'm wondering if the debian distribution sets up something that I must change. I am using a PCMCIA-based modem, connecting manually through minicom and specifying my username and password. I then quit minicom leaving the modem connected, and run pppd -d -detach /dev/ttyS2 57600. When I ran pppconfig it put the 2 DNS server numbers in OK, but according to the howto, there should be a domain ISP_DOMAIN_NAME line before them, and I don't know the name, or if it is needed. I can post more info,, but I do not know where to start. Anyone have any clues as to why the default route is not setup? Thanks, John __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

It is quite a long time ago, I used a PCMCIA modem, but as far as I remember, it was quit easy to get it work: In order to make it possible, that non root user can initiate a ppp conection, add the desired user to the group 'dip' adduser username dip In the file /etc/pcmcia/serial.opts the lines # Symbolic link to dialout device LINK=/dev/modem # Options for 'setserial' SERIAL_OPTS=spd_vhi say, that the symbolic link /dev/modem is created on insertion of the card to the right /dev/ttyS? device. So you always can reffer to /dev/modem as your modem (pppconfig) regardless which /dev/ttyS? the modem is actually connected (this may change).

PPP working now! Recommended browsers for slink?
Hi, Wow! It was as simple as adding the defaultroute line in my /etc/ppp/options file! Many thanks! I tried to send this message using gzilla (from slink), but it chokes on pages that are too complex. (It doesn't even show me the navigation buttons in HOWTOs!) SO, now I am looking for recommendations on downloading a browser that will run under slink. I figured since it will be a BIG download I would be best to ask for advise first. This will also help people who look at the mailing list archives I hope. I checked out the mozilla that was on the slink CD a while back, but I kept getting error dialogs in many of the configuration panels, and I ended up using gzilla to read local files instead. I do not wish to start a browser war, I just want to avoid a big download that will have problems running on slink! I can't tell you how happy I am to be able to connect to the net via linux.

Re: October GNOME for slink.
I am trying to install Debian 2.1 in my computer. I have an Adaptec 2940U2W SCSI Host adapter and Linux is hanging right after detecting it... Any help?! It's been a while, but so far as I remember, the 2940U2W (AIC7890) is not supported by the drivers in slink (slink is about the same age as the AIC7890, give or take), and you'll either need to build a kernel either with the 7890 drivers patched in, or get one recent enough to support it without patching. Unfortunately this makes booting from the slink CD rather difficult. When I did it, I installed onto an IDE disk, built a kernel to suit the 7890, used cpio to copy the system over onto the SCSI drive, set LILO up, and finally removed the IDE drive. If you can't manage it any other way, I'm sure someone will be able to send you a boot floppy or two... If anyone else has any better ideas...

Re: Adding a style to TeX
On 11/06/99, Damon Muller scribbled about Adding a style to TeX: However, I'm at a loss as to how to do this with my slink tetex. I make a couple of directories in /usr/local/lib/texmf and put in the required files (apacite.bst and apacite.sty). The tetex doc said to run `texhash' to update the ls-R file, which I did (as root). The file /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf must contain a line describing where to find your local TeX directory tree. I have a line like this: TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/local/lib/texmf You can also have local ones that are on a per-user basis, though when root runs texhash, I don't think it gets each user's directory -- only when that user runs texhash. The relevant line in my /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf: HOMETEXMF = $HOME/texmf With that, I'm able to put local additions under /usr/local/lib/texmf or $HOME/texmf. Usually I use the former, unless I'm trying something that I consider very experimental. While I'm at it, is there any way to view a compressed dvi file without having to decompress it?

SB Live Module
Hi!
There are still problems with the SB Live kernel module.
I have added the following lines...
Makefile:
-I/usr/src/linux/include to the line
CFLAGS += -I$(INCLUDEDIR) -I.
newline-- CFLAGS += -I$(INCLUDEDIR) -I. -I/usr/src/linux/include
audio.c:
after the following line I added
#include linux/module.h
#include linux/soundcard.h
In this header file two defines are important (I think).
#define OSS_GETVERSION _SIOR ('M', 118, int)
#define SNDCTL_DSP_GETODELAY_SIOR ('P', 23, int)
When I run now 'make' I get the following messages:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sblive $ make emu10k1

Re: IP Aliasing on slink/2.2.12

Re: Help: dhcp client problems
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said... Several times in the last little while, Netscape and ping have had problems, either hanging or responding with Unknown. I then booted up in Windows95, and no problem. Then returning to Debian (1.3.1 still!) and the problem is solved. I am on @HOME cable. They tell me that their modem is in constant communication with the software and that the Windows DHCP module is effectively reseting the modem. Apparently my DHCP client is periodically failing. They say that some RH installs also have this problem ( this is why they don't support Linux). That's because RH has a really crappy DHCP client. @home isn't the only people who have DHCP problems with Linux; most distributions make a really poor choice as to which client to include. Incidentally, it sounds like the DHCP client isn't renewing the lease. What happens when you do that manually, and does it happen regularly (ie every x hours on the dot)? Apparently a DHCP client that has pump7 would be desirable. Can anyone tell me what to do. Before you tell me to do so, I should say that I installed Debian 2.0 on another drive, but have another problem--it won't recognize that I have an ethernet card (3c509, I think), so I would like to get 1.3.1 working for the time being. Thanks. The first thing I would do is install a different DHCP client, and see if the problem goes away. I like to recommend ISC's DHCP client (http://www.isc.org). It's extremely configurable, and Just Works. -- -- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.

Okay, it sounds like your kernel source isn't a pure one (I'm guessing here). Patch is quite smart, and can patch files even if they're different to what it's expecting, although it'll only work if they're a little different, not a huge amount. It might be easier to download a fresh kernel source tarball from one of the kernel.org mirrors and try from there. You could download the latest, so you don't have to do any patching - but if you want to learn to patch, download an older one and apply the patches you've got to it. The only problem is a kernel source tarball is about 13MB. I'm pretty sure the source you extracted from the Debian package should be a standard kernel though, so maybe there's something messed up. rm the source dir and extract it again, then try patching it... Many thanks for the detail in your response. It will take me some time to absorb and tryout. Will let you know how I get on. Time is not an issue for me as I have two other Linux distributions working to give cover until I get up to speed with Debian - the need for knowledge and expertise is one of its main attractions to me.

It's been a while, but so far as I remember, the 2940U2W (AIC7890) is not supported by the drivers in slink (slink is about the same age as the AIC7890, give or take), and you'll either need to build a kernel either with the 7890 drivers patched in, or get one recent enough to support it without patching. Unfortunately this makes booting from the slink CD rather difficult. When I did it, I installed onto an IDE disk, built a kernel to suit the 7890, used cpio to copy the system over onto the SCSI drive, set LILO up, and finally removed the IDE drive. If you can't manage it any other way, I'm sure someone will be able to send you a boot floppy or two... If anyone else has any better ideas... Could somebody help me with the kernel!
