In this case, you are. The TCP/IP print services for NT are a sort of
lpd for NT, so if you set lprng up right, it should work. I think that
"bounce_queue" is the option you want to look at to get the filters to be
used locally rather than on the server (it's been a while, and the machine
I had something like this set up on is now down, and lacking a network
card)...

Re: Running X-Displays of win9x

[Brian Servis]

It can be found at http://www.microimages.com/www/html/freestuf/mix/.
There are certanly better Xservers for Windows out there but this one
cheap at $25.  The Starnet one is really quite good but a little pricey
at $200 for a single use license. See
http://www.starnet.com/product.htm for more info.

I just noticed that the microimages site has a table of the prices and
links to all the other Xservers for windows at
http://www.microimages.com/mix/prices.htm.  How nice of them to provide
a list.

Look into the gom package.  It is a command line/ncurses based mixer
that supports a config file for easy storing of defaults, etc.  The
debian package comes with a bootup script and the program called
gomconfig that allows you to restore the mixer settings on bootup.  Of
course each user can have their own settings as well.

I have a cdrom mounted as "mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom"
When I am finished with it as either a local mount or nfs mount I cannot
umount it.
I get the message it is busy.
I cd / to get out of the directory but no go!
Somewhere there is a command to override this error message but I cannot

Regular Segmentation Fault: HELP!!!

[Matthias Burghardt]

Hi,

I've been running Debian Linux for one year now on my P200MMX (mainboard
FIC VA-502, chipset VIA 580VPX, AWARD BIOS, memory 2x32MB SDRAM, ATI
Mach64 RageII+DVD, harddisks Quantum Bigfoot 2.1GB on /dev/hda, Seagate
ST3491A 428MB on /dev/hdc, 24xCDROM on /dev/hdb, soundcard SB16 clone).
The system works fine so far. But there are some programs that regularly
cause a segmentation fault. Among them are procinfo which stops after
the " uptime: / context :" line, dbf2mysql and mysql2dbf, pspp, ... Also
nearly every complex program seems to have routines in it causing that
problem, e.g. StarOffice, Wingz, acm, ... I changed nearly every switch
in the BIOS configuration, flashed the BIOS, changed CPU voltage, tried
a lot of kernel configurations, exchanged the memory against 2x16MB EDO,
booted w/ "mem=4M no-hlt no387" options, installed several times on
different harddisks (both hamm and slink), built my harddisk in a
friend's computer, but nothing changed.
This behavior is not related to high system load as I had never a
segfault while compiling the kernel or running a burn-in program like
lucifer thus increasing processor load to 4.0 and above. I have not
overclocked my system.
Recently I found that /usr/lib/libc.so is not an ELF shared object as
the other libs but a 'GNU ld script'. I compiled it using 'ld -shared
/usr/lib/libc.so' and installed the output as /usr/lib/libc.so.
dbf2mysql and mysql2dbf started to work then, but the other programs
failed anyway. 

If anyone knows what could cause my Segmentation faults and how to fix
it please drop me a line. I'm near to the Gates of hell otherwise.

I could provide you with any details, listings and output if this is of
use for you. 

Thanks in advance!

win95/netscape/smartupdate over ipmasq failure

[Brian Servis]

Hi all,

I am trying to use the Netscape SmartUpdate feature to upgrade a few
Win9x boxes that access the net through my Debian box using ipmasq. 
Everything goes fine until the actual download is supposed to start. 
The 'SmartUpdate Download Manager' comes up but then it just sits there
swipping its little Battlestar Galactica indicator on the bottom of the
Download window.  The status says 'Reading file...Done' but nothing
every dowloaded.  

Has anyone else had success with this.  I think I have also seen other
evidence of perhaps ipmasq problems with sites that want some sort of
non standard communication.  My wife always has problems with our
online bank page and other complex sites.  

I am running potato with kernel 2.2.12 and the ipmasq 3.4.1 package.

Do I need to modify some of the rules in /etc/ipmasq for this to work
correctly?

Thanks,

How do I boot Debian GNU/Linux for PowerPC (Macintosh)?

[Christian Ericsson]

Could someone help me with this problem?

When I install Debian GNU/Linux on a PC (IBM compatible), I create the
"rescue boot floppy disc" stored in the install directory on the first
official CD called binary-i386. The filename for the rescue disc is
resc1440.bin.

I have downloaded the potato version for PowerPC to use on the Macintosh
computer. It seems to have two different versions of the "rescue boot
floppy". In the directory dists/potato/main/disks-powerpc/current you find
the the powermac directory. In the powermac directory you find the
"resc1440.bin" file and the "floppy-boot-hfs.img" file. How do I use these
boot floppies?

I have tried to boot the Macintosh computer with the "floppy-boot-hfs.img"
disc. But, it will not recognize the disc as a boot disc. I have tried the
same with the "resc1440.bin" disc. Same result.

I have also tried to use the BootX program. I have installed BootX in the
system folder, and put the "linux" file from the "floppy-boot-hfs.img" in
the Kernel older for BootX. I have also tried the linux kernel from the
"resc1440.bin" disc. It boots, but suddenly stops booting when it can't
mount the root partition. I got a kernel panic error. "VFS: unable to mount
the root partition, something...".

Step by step: Does anyone have a step by step description of how to start
the booting process on PowerPC for Macintosh. Anything could be helpful.

currently subscriber of this mailing list!)

[off-topic] setrlimit()/C++ new() seg fault

[othman]

Hi,

I've been experimenting with limiting the amount of memory available to
a process by setting its data segment resource limit from within the
process by using setrlimit().  I've been testing if this technique
would work by attempting to allocate more memory on the heap than the
limit set in setrlimit() call.  Unfortunately, I get a seg fault in the
standard C++ library (gcc 2.95.2 on a "potato" box).

I'm not very familiar with the behavior of setrlimit() so please let me
know if I'm doing something silly.

Here is the test program:

// -
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

#include 

#include 

int
main (int, char *[])
{
  struct rlimit r;

  r.rlim_cur = 1000;
  r.rlim_max = 1;

  if (::setrlimit (RLIMIT_DATA, &r) != 0)
::perror ("setrlimit");

  int *b = 0;

  try
{
  b = new int[5L];
  
  delete [] b;
}
  catch (std::bad_alloc)
{
  std::cout << "caught bad_alloc exception" << endl;

  return 0;  // Success
}

  std::cerr << "Allocated more than what should be available." << endl;

  return 1;  // Failure
}
// -

For my HP Deskjet 660C I had to edit the magicfilter filter file to
include the PCL command for 'eject page' to the text filter:

-# Default entry -- for normal (text) files.  MUST BE LAST. 
default cat \e&k2G  \e&l0H 
^^  ^^
prefix  suffix

The prefix codes get sent to the printer before the text and the suffix
gets sent after, see the man page for magicfilter.  In this case the
prefix codes set up the CR-LF translation to avoid the stair step
effect and the suffix is the PCL code to eject the page.

You will of course have to find the reference information for the Epson
printer language and insert the appropriate items.  For blank prefix
just use ""(two double quotes).

If I understand what you're asking, you can install a
Windows-based X server on the Windows PC, then telnet to the
Linux box and set your DISPLAY environment variable to tell the
apps to display on your Windows box, then run X apps and they'll
display on the Windows box.

There are several X servers available for Windows, but if you're
working on the cheap, search for MIX (or MiX, or something
similar = "MicroImages X"); it's a freebie that's half-decent. If
you want full-decent, you'll probably have to shell out a few
bucks.

Psion & Outlook integration on Linux?

[Steve George]

Hi,

So finally, after a year+ my gf has started to come round to the fact that MS 
is crap.  She's a convert to be except that she uses her Psion 3MX to integrate 
with the dreaded Outlook for calendering.  So, is there any equivalent 
application(s) with this functionality under Linux??

All I can find is some references on FreshMeat to a basic cmms program that can 
transfer files back and forth between the two machines.  Whereas I really need 
somthing that can do proper synchronisation.

Has anyone seen anything else out there in netland?

Thanks,

lprng help

[tjm]

Hi.  I'm trying to us lprng to print to a remote printer,
an HP870, on an nt network.  nt is running the tcp/ip
print services and I can get plain text to print just fine.
However, it seems that the if= is not being used for
other document formats.

The printcap file is this:


hp870|filt-Remote hp870 printer entry
 :rm=192.168.1.1
 :rp=hp870
 :if=/etc/magicfilter/dj550c-filter
 :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote870
 :mx#0
 :sh

checkpc shows file permissions are ok.  The docs say this
should work, and it does send everything to the printer, 
but without the filtering.

Using Debian2.1, 2.0.36 kernel and magicfilter 1.2-28 and
lprng 3.5.2-1.3.  lpq shows the printer on the nt machine.

Any suggestions?

thanks,

No I don't.

% man adduser

NAME
   adduser, addgroup - add a user or group to the system
[snip]
   adduser --group [options] [--gid ID] group
   addgroup [options] [--gid ID] group

   adduser [options] user group
   
[snip]
   Add a system group
   If adduser is called with the --group option, or  addgroup
   is called, a system group will be added.

   A  GID  will be chosen from the range specified for system
   UIDS in the configuration file.  The GID can be overridden
   with the --gid option.

   The group is created with no users.

   Add an existing user to an existing group
   If  called with two non-option arguments, adduser will add
   an existing user to an existing group.

It has been my experience that if I add a user to a group and then open
a fresh xterm then the user is not recognized as in the group.  If I
exit my X session and start it back up then the user is recognized as
belonging to the group.  I don't know why, I haven't really
investigated it, but I am sure someone else can explain the details.

I think you mean `addgroup  audio'. And check that /dev/dsp

The scripts in ip-up.d are run as root.  Thus the fetchmail script you
have would be using /root/.fetchmailrc and not your .fetchmailrc. 
Would there happen to be a .fetchmailrc in /root that contains the
first isp as is in your .fetchmailrc?  The way around this is to use
the --fetchmailrc command line option.  Look at the sample files in
/usr/doc/fetchmail for fetchmail-up and fetchmail-down.

ejecting last page from printer?

[Ron Farrer]

Hello all;

I have my printer (Epson Stylus Color Pro) configured with magicfilter
and it prints PS fine, but when it prints text it doesn't eject the
final page. This means I have manually go to the printer and push the
eject button. If I don't manually eject the page the next print job
starts printing on THAT page! :( So my question is, how do I configure
my printer to eject the last TEXT page? If the text printing is more
then one page, all the pages eject but the last.. If its just one page
it also doesn't eject.

Does someone know how to fix this or can point me in the right
direction?


TIA,

Ron

Reflection-X and Reflection Suite for X are from WRQ. In my experience

IIRC a selected background image overrides a theme image.
Set background=none in "Desktop Background Settins" and THEN install

AFAIK the official distribution does not contain at least the "non-us" section.
(due to the legal reason).
So it is not the good solution. Even if we do not consider the price.
I always downloaded the whole "non-us" tree and put it on the CDROM, installing 
the
non-us packages by hand.

Shouldn't debian be configured better by default ?

[Sami Dalouche]

Hello everyone,

While I was cleaning my home directory, I saw this program that I compiled.
After that, I launched it and... My X became frozen and then crashed ( I 
executed the program in an Xterm). I think it's because it used all the memory 
available...
I don't want to try but what could happen if I'd have run it from a console
? Whould the system crash ?

I think there is a way (or more than one) to be sure a user doesn't crash
the system by using all the memory available.
I've heard a bit about the /etc/limits file but it seems that it's a per
login configuration, which has a lot of disadvantages. I'd like to know if
there is a way to impose GLOBAL/per user limits. If a such {program ;
configuration file } exist, I'd like to know why debian shouldn't be
configured to impose quotas by default. I think it's very disapointing to
let every user crash the system by default :-((

Have you a better idea to avoid this kind of program to crash the system ?

Thank you very much for giving me much infos

I'm inexperienced with Debian, but had no problem getting Pine from
this web page. However, I've been unable to install and configure it.
Pine depends on libc-client4.6 and I can't find it - in another posting
you indicated it was for the time being under /Incoming, but the only
deb I found there seems to be an alpha one.

Also, Pine depends on libc6 >=2.1 (my slink has 2.0.7) and libncurses
4 >=4.2-3.1 (I only have 4.2-3). Neither of these am I unable to find.

I'm puzzled, because I went to ftp.uk.debian.org and got Pine 3.96,
thinking I would upgrade later when I located the dependencies,
and that says I need the same files. 
 
Can you help in any way please?

It's probably not even controversial to say that the only real (fairly

Yes, if your wget also brought in the Packages file.  If not,
recreate the Packages file with the dpkg-scanpackages command

This is the best solution.

It doesn't, actually.  named will just contact the root server and find
out from it where to get the information from.  It might be a little
slower at first than using a forwarder, but the entries you use will
stay in cache and you won't have to deal with the hassles of screwed up
setups at your isp.

Just make sure you have a valid root cache file (which was installed
when you installed bind iirc) and you should be fine.

I stopped using other people's nameservers several isps ago - the only
thing I use an isp for anymore is usenet.

I don't user either but this looks like a simple permission problem. By
default /dev/dsp is is owned by root with group audio.  So your user
must be in the audio group.  'adduser  audio' should get you past
the above problem.  You might have to restart X to get the group
noticed, use the 'id' command to check that the current shell knows you
are in the audio group.

If I understand you correctly, you are looking for a X server to
run on the Win9x machine? (You need this to display windows of
applications running on the linux machine).

I'd go for eXceed by Hummingbird Communications. It works really
good. They also make other products for integration of Windows and
UNIX, like NFS clients and servers for Windows.

Another choice might be Reflection, haven't tried it but have
heard good things about it. Don't know who makes it though.

>>> Colin Marquardt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/06 9:26 AM >>>
Hi,

the subject shows that I have no clue where to look :-)

My problem is this: my ~/.fetchmailrc specifies four different
accounts to poll mail from. When I m running fetchmail by hand, all
four accounts are polled, like it should.

I have a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d that looks like this:

| #!/bin/sh -e
| ## This script is run when the ppp link goes up.
| 
| echo "Fetchmail starting..." > /dev/console
| 
| fetchmail -vvv -a 2> /dev/console
| 
| echo "Fetchmail ready." > /dev/console

Now, when I go online and this script is run automatically, fetchmail
only queries the first of my four accounts! (I can observe this because
I m sending the fetcmail output to /dev/console).

Has anyone an idea why this is?
My system is a plain slink in this part, fetchmail is version 4.6.4.

TIA,
  Colin

[Jean-Yves BARBIER]

Hi, this is for those who met the same errors

I just have this kind of problem; I was scared about a HD failure,
as many mails are talking about. Since it is an 8 months HD, I was
quite sure is was not a failure.

So I opened the beast and had a look:
it was simply the power supply connector of this HD, which was
a bit loosen, and, thus, giving a bad connection, especially
when the HD was working & vibrating hard... 
I tighten the four circular connectors, and now its working perfectly.

As I seen, every other supply connectors where in this state
(might be all the tests I made, plugging & unplugging many times);

so before buying a new HD, check this :)

audio cdrom broken in 2.2 kernels???

[Rob Mahurin]

I think I must be missing something incredibly obvious here.  My cdrom
won't play audio CDs under the 2.2 series kernel; I get kernel errors
output like the attached.  I can mount data CDs just fine.  I just
checked my old 2.0.34 kernel, and it played audio and mounted data
both.  

I built a 2.2.13 kernel last night and tried it just now; no change.
I'm back in 2.2.9 because I apparently forgot to put bootp in the .13
(moron).  

The CD-ROM is vanilla ATAPI-IDE, factory installed, never given me
problems before.  Any help is appreciated.

Exim PPP localhost and me

[Astro D. Boy]

Hello,

I am running Debian Potato with Exim version 3.03 #1 built 04-Aug-1999; my
problems stem from local mail delivery. Whenever I try to send mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], exim seems to strip the localhost and replace it with the
remotehost-- making it [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Because I am using PPP my domain name does not have an '.com,
.net etc', so it is just 'hostname'. The weird thing is that if there is a
system error, ie. someone trying sudo when they don't have permissions to
do so, exim is used to send mail to localhost and successfully does that.
The problem happens when any user, including root, tries to send mail to
another user on the local host.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

TIA
Matt

ip tunnel 10.10.10.0 network

[aphro]

i was wondering (assume it is, but just incase) if it was possible to
establish an IP tunnel between 2 locations for a 10.10.10.0 network (or
any of the 'non registered' networks) the owner of one of the companies i
work for wants more ips but the ISP won't sell them to him "for any
price" (and for good reason) he already has a class C.  one end is his
burstable T1 and the other would be his house, on a COX @Home cable
modem.  2 linux boxes should be able to provide an IP tunnel and add the
3rd network right?  so there would be the 216.128.8.0 24.1.182.0 and
10.10.10.0 networks ..what would be required for this ? both hardware and
software.  i look foreward to providing a solution to this guy before i
quit the company so he realizes what a asset i was and should o f paid me
more!! 

btw this tunnel does NOT have to be secure..no encryption needed. i just
need 2 way IP communications through it through the internet from the
remote site as well as machines on the 216.128.8.0 network to be able to
access the 10.10.10.0 network.

thanks to all..who can help !

You can alway create a local package repository with which you can use
dselect. It is quite easy, to tell the truth:

1. create a directory B in any directory A.
 
2. put all packages you have built in directory B. Don't maintain section
hierarchy. If you want to, then use the appropriate switch for
dpkg-scanpackages in step 4. 
 
3. put the following line in /etc/apt/sources.list:

 deb file:/A/ B/

 (of course replace A and B, and keep the space before B)
   
4. cd A
   dpkg-scanpackages B /dev/null > B/Packages

Execute step 4. if you have put or taken any packages to/from the
directory B.

After this you can switch to apt retrieve method in dselect, and it will
see your packages. Probably you should download the latest apt for your
distribution. It is somewhere around 0.3.10slink11 for slink and I don't
know where I got it from. For potato just download it from the debian
mirror of your choice.

You can do it the way I described previously. You just select exim for
purging and select qmail and ucspi-tcp for installing. You should probably
install dot-forward as well if you have users with .forward files.

Take care to use ucspi-tcp 0.84 for qmail 1.03.

I only allow certain machines access and have their full addresses in

Creating contrib/non-free/non-us cd

Hi!

Since the official cd images only contain the 'main' archive, I would like
to create a similar cd, useable by dselect/apt, for the contrib, non-free
and non-us parts of Debian, since the machine that Debian is to be installed
on does not have a network connection.

How do I go about to do this? I have access to machines with direct Internet
connection to download the files, but I gather they need to be arranged in
some special way to be useable, right?

replacing the standard mta with qmail (Re: Question about dselect)

There is some additional effort required to install qmail, you have to
compile your own debs, as the licence prohibits distributing those.

Because of this, dselect doesn't know about the qmail debs in the same way
as it knows about the regular debs from the debian archive.  

> Slight problem though, when I removed exim, dselect also wanted to remove
> all of my MTA and mail related packages (i.e.: af, anacron, at, elm-me+,

You should not use dselect to replace your mta.  Dselect is a great tool
to manage dependencies, but in this case, you really want to _work_around_
dependencies, making dselect the wrong tool for this particular job.

You can not (easily anyway[1]) use dselect to install qmail, because there
is no archive containing pre-built qmail.deb.  

  [1] Okay, so you can actually use dselect with non-regular archives, but
  it's not worth doing in this case anyway.


This is what you want to do:

  1. get qmail source and build a deb:
  
apt-get install qmail-src
cd qmail-src-*
fakeroot debian/rules binary
cd ..

  ( 1a.  maybe do the same for ucspi-tcp-src:)

  2. carefully remove the old mta, while disregarding other packages
 dependencies:

dpkg --force-depends --remove exim

  3. install the qmail.deb (perhaps also ucspi-tcp*deb):
  
dpkg --install qmail*deb


That's all there should be to it.  Now, you can continue using dselect for
all you daily updates and standard package installations and removals. The
only package that it cannot update automatically is qmail, because there
is no qmail.deb in the archive.  

If you decide however to keep qmail-src.deb installed on your system, you
will be able to notice every update of that package.  You can then rebuild
a local qmail.deb and install it manually.  This time, there are no
"force" flags needed to dselect.

Notice that when you run dselect, it will show the "installed" status of
the qmail package, but it knows only the installed version, not the
available version, because there is no "official archive" version of the
qmail.deb.  For the same reason, dselect classifies the package as
"Obsolete/local Unclassified packages without a section".  This is nothing
to worry about.

Are you sure that wasn't _apt_ telling you that?  Apt has a mind of its
own (which is usually a good thing) about resolving dependencies and
conflicts.  It makes similar calculations about package dependencies as
dselect, because it has to know in what order best to install the
downloaded packages.

Most of the time, this behaviour is a feature.  In your case, it
interferes with what you're trying to do.  At least dselect will let you
override dselect's opinion of packages to be (de)selected, apt is more
strict in these things and won't be overridden AFAIK[2].

  [2] Then again, I didn't read all of the apt documentation that
  meticulously yet, YMMV

This is unnecessary when done right.  You only lose the ability to
automatically update qmail.deb.  All other packages (including
qmail-src.deb) will still be upgradable using dselect, as usually.

I'm adding debian-user to the cc:, since I figure this isn't the first
time and probably isn't the last time either that dpkg/dselect/apt confuse
people, not in the least because many aspects aren't very well documented.

I see...

However, building openssh on a slink system seems to be a major
undertaking since the openssh package needs pam. I tried compiling
libpam on slink, but failed. After pulling a bunch of packages that
potato-pam needs though the compiler, I can't figure out the next
problem.

In my version of slink, there is a man package in the doc section of
debian main.  However, on www.nl.debian.org, it seems to be gone.
There is a man-db package
(http://www.nl.debian.org/Packages/stable/doc/man-db.html) that seems
to provide the man command according to the description.  Does anyone
know what happened to the vanilla man package?

With potato, the package name is 'man-db', and the man pages
themselves are in 'manpages' packages.

For the Linux version, whats the difference?

I am sure I have quite successfully downloaded a number of binary files
using D.

Only problem I have is sometimes Lynx will abort a long transfer without
displaying any error message, so the user is left with an smaller the
desired file and wondering why it is currupt. There is a long standing
bug report against Lynx on this, including a patch (I don't think it has
ever been integrated but I haven't got any response from the maintainer,
either).

So, whenever you download a file with Lynx, check that the destination
file size is correct.

my place, but the other one is for a business, we'd like to be able to

Thats what the poster wanted you to change.

However, I myself would do the following:

1. With computer booted, edit /etc/default/rcS and sent GMT as required:

>Here is the relevant setting from my /etc/default/rcS:
>
># Set GMT="-u" if your system clock is set to GMT, and GMT="" if not.
>GMT=""

(I think this has changed for potato).

2. Now updated you CMOS clock by typing in:

/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh stop

at least a similar procedure worked for me, and means you don't have to
manually reenter the time anywhere

(really dumb idiotic off-topic question - is it possible to setup
Windoze so that it will work when the CMOS clock is GMT? My guess: Of
course not!)

I think using dselect could be a confusing phase for Debian beginners.
It is pretty useful because it has descriptions that give you some
picture about what you want to install. But I think, apt-get is much
more easier, especially if you already know the packages you'd like to
have.

I installed Debian on a SparcClassic several days ago; I was about lost
in space, but fortunately this mailing-list talks a lot about apt-get,
so I tried it. Besides, all I want to have is several Internet daemons
like sendmail, apache, fetchmail, etc.; so I think that directly using
apt-get would be easier than dselect. It's easier, indeed, all I have to
do is to lookup www.debian.org looking for available packages and then
type: "apt-get install sendmail" (for installing the mail server). The
cute thing about apt-get is that, if the connection get disconnected (I
did that via a modem), the next retry will start right where you left
it; a nice way of minimizing download time due to errors in comm. link.

My only concern is that Debian base-install doesn't include telnetd; I'm
not sure why. It seems that Debian wants to make sure that the
installers know what they are doing with telnetd; without including it
in the distribution, there's a little chance that telnetd would be
sitting there unconfigured. But I had expected that telnetd would have
been there (in the base-install), and when I figured it out that it
wasn't, I jumped into conclusion that Debian was a Windows NT
look-alike.

Just take a look at www.debian.org and see all available packages, mark
what you need (type them down if you need to). Then, login to root on
your Debian machine and type:
apt-get install 
You don't need to type in the version numbers, just the name of the
package (no .deb either).

> Is there any way I can do this with Debian, or should
> I be seeking a different distribution?

Well, feel free to do so, but I think apt-get is pretty cool. It's worth
to mention also that it takes 11 floppies to get a bootable (from
harddisk) system (it may take 30+ floppies for other systems).

Can't print from one Debian machine to another

[Alec Smith]

In the past I've been able to print from one Debian 2.1 box to another
Debian 2.1 box without difficulty. However I recently reinstalled
Debian on the server machine, and can't do any printing from
remote machines unless I'm using Samba. I'd like to know what's going on
so I can get back to a "normal" configuration involving just lpr/lpd.

The error given on the workstation side is: 
rs229038: /usr/sbin/lpd: lp: Your host does not have line printer access

The Workstation setup:

Debian 2.1 / kernel 2.3.25
Machine IP: 130.108.229.32

/etc/printcap looks like:

lp|dj870|HP DeskJet 870Cse:\
:lp=:\
:rm=130.108.229.38:\
:rp=lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:


The server box:

Debian 2.1 / kernel 2.2.13
Machine IP: 130.108.229.38

/etc/hosts.allow has:

ALL: 130.108.229

/etc/hosts.lpd has:

ALL: 130.108.229


Printing on the server machine itself works fine, so the /etc/printcap
there should be OK. Any ideas where to go next? I'd be happy to provide
any additional information that's needed.

You know, it'd be really cool if when people do these things someone takes
a laptop with them (and not the purring kind) and takes down a general
summary of events as they happen..

Such things would be nice for those who couldn't attend (busy that night

how-to information presented.  Also archives of this kind of stuff would
be great for new maintainers.

Could somebody help me with the kernel! I don't have any means to

(I'm pretty isolated... surronded by WinBlows...)

If someone could send me the boot floppies I'd be happy to send
them back as soon as I finish the installation, otherwise, one can attach
the files that I need to rawrite to the floppies.

Thanks in advance,

I had similiar problem (I have IDE and SCSI drives).
I think in your case a solution is (in lilo.conf):

   disk=/dev/sdb bios=0x80

[PHILADELPHIA] MIME Solutions: Using Debian's mime-support Package

[Chris Fearnley]

The Philadelphia Area Debian Society (PADS)
 (http://www.CJFearnley.com/pads/)

 presents

MIME Solutions: Using Debian's mime-support Package

 When:
 Wednesday 17 November 1999, 8:00 PM - 9:30 PM
 Speaker:
 Chris Fearnley, Senior Vice President Technology, LinuxForce Inc.
 Where:
 Towne Pizza & Sub Shop
 1900 Pine ST
 Philadelphia, PA

 Abstract 

 MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is the preferred
 way to attach files in the Internet world. But Debian (even with
 Netscape and WordPerfect installed) often fails to handle attachments
 transparently. We will examine policy and practice looking for a solution
 to this often agravating problem.

 Keysigning

gpg bug/problem?

[Adam Shand]

hi.

a couple days ago i decided to change over from pgp5 to gnupgp.  it's gone
fairly painlessly except some keys that i try to import give me this
error no matter what i do:

heyzeus(larry)$ gpg --recv-keys E8DA6B27  
gpg: requesting key E8DA6B27 from wwwkeys.us.pgp.net ...
gpg: key E8DA6B27: no valid user IDs
gpg: this may be caused by a missing self-signature
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:   w/o user IDs: 1


now pgp5 handled this key just fine so i'm assuming it's a
bug/incompatibility but before i bug the author i'd like to know if i'm just
being stupid or if there is a known work around.

i'm using gnupg 1.0.0-3 from unstable.

adam.

Ok... I hate dselect. How can I fix this?

[Aaron Solochek]

I remeber haveing heard something about timezone being an obselete
package, but i wasn't sure.  So, I stumbled upon it while looking for
netdate, which disappeared, and I thought I could check to see if it was
no longer used by selecting it and seeing what it said.  Well, it said
it conflicted with A TON of stuff, all of which is dselected for me.
Well, I resized the eterm so I could get a bigger view of what it was
doing, and dselect crashed.  So when I went back in, just about every
package on my computer was marked for removal.  I went though all 500 or
so packages and re-selected the packages so it wouldn't delete them, but
now I still get errors, and it doesn't seem to advance at all.  Things
are breaking now, (windowmaker now segfaults due to gaim sometimes, and
irssi segfaults) and I just want things back the way the were.  Any
advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

[Solved] Re: Adding a style to TeX

[Damon Muller]

Hi folks,

thanks to those who replied to my question about adding a style to TeX.
Turns out, the problem was that I'm an idiot, as I had commented out the
line to use that package before I installed it, and never remembered to
uncomment the line. :)

Opps!

Cheers,

damon

Upgrade procps.  There was a buggy one uploaded recently that was missing
kill.  It was promptly fixed, but you must have upgraded in the interim.

Don't use -9.  That doesn't give pppd a chance to shutdown gracefully.

Re: fvwm beta packages

[Shao Zhang]

It is already in potato...

shao:/home/shao$ apt-cache show fvwm
Package: fvwm
Version: 2.2.3-1
Priority: optional
Section: x11
Maintainer: Julian Gilbey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1), libncurses4 (>= 4.2-3.1), libreadlineg2 (>=
2.1-12), 
bstdc++2.10, libxpm4, xlib6g (>= 3.3.5-1)
Recommends: fvwm-common
Suggests: m4, cpp, menu (>=1.5), fvwmconf (>= 0.19-4), rplay (>=3.3.2)
Conflicts: fvwm2 (<< 2.2), fvwm-beta
Replaces: fvwm2 (<< 2.2)
Architecture: i386
Filename: dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/x11/fvwm_2.2.3-1.deb
Size: 808418
MD5sum: ece0ce046ce5392e45d3633589f95268
Description: F(?) Virtual Window Manager, version 2.xx.
 FVWM 2 is an ICCCM-1.1 compliant window manager requiring relatively
 little memory and providing a three-dimensional appearance and a
 virtual desktop, complete with colour icons.
 .
 This package contains version 2.xx, the most recent stable release
 of FVWM.  The old fvwm package (renamed as fvwm1) containing version
 1.24r (the previous stable release) and fvwm can co-exist on a Debian
 system.
 .
 You probably also want to install the fvwm-common and menu packages
 for improved functionality and a good supply of icons.  For the audio
 modules (FvwmEvent and the deprecated FvwmAudio), you probably want
 the rplay package.

Potato's pon/poff

[David J. Kanter]

pon works, but poff doesn't. poff complains that /bin/kill doesn't exist.
Looking at poff, KILL=/bin/kill, and sure enough there isn't a /bin/kill.
What am I missing here? Instead I've been typing killall -9 pppd. It works.
