Re: TROUBLE: Linux on Dell PowerEdge 4300 / 550 with RAID
Thanks for your help, but we were not able to install linux because we didnt see any disk for installing in fact there are three controllers, two aha7800 which were both detected, one is connected to the cdrom, the other is dummy. The third controller is the PERC-2 (not SC) pre-controller, which has connected all disks. In the BIOS of this Controller the six Harddisks are together in one 42gig RAID-5 container. I hope this outlines the problem a little bit better. The question is, how to get the disks ready for linux, which driver for the PERC-2 and perhaps which boot-parameter. Looking forward for the answers, Cheers, Manfred Knoke

Re: new Server and MIME-Types
Michelle, usually they are in /etc/mime.types. You haven't written which WWW server you use. If Apache, there's a symlink /etc/apache/mime.types - ../mime.types i.e. just to this file. Sorry, but I have not ask where I must set the MIME-Types !!! In apache I am missing MIME-Types for many the Fileextensions like xls, xla, class, mda, mdb, lrp, vivo, x-wave, x-midi... I do not know, how to get the right MIME-Type for it. I am looking for about 60 different MIME-Types !!! Michelle
Re: PPP kernel support?
Quoting steve doerr ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): How do you put PPP support into the 2.2.0 kernel? I get the following message when I try to run pon: /usr/sbin/pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be because the PPP kernel module is not loaded, or because the kernel is not configured for PPP. See the README.linux file in the ppp-2.3.5 distribution. Unfortunately this error message is emitted under various other circumstances, e.g. ppp version too old, wrong permissions.

changeing irqs on serial devices.
Hey there, On my home computer i currently have a modem and a mouse, both serial. I like haveing multiple displays how ever and since i resently came accross a dumb terminal i thought that i would connect it. So far however i have not been able to get the dumb terminal to work at the same time as the modem. This is (i think) because they are sharing an irq. The modem is currently on ttyS3 and the Dumb terminal is on ttyS1. Since the modem has hardware switches on it to change the irq i tried changeing them so that the modem was using irq 5 and then 7. with both of these changes the modem would dial (slowly) and then hang up after giving...

Re: Module upgrading question
Quoting Carel Fellinger ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Hating to reboot I wondered what the proper and Debian way whould be to upgrade/add modules. I want to add audio htat's all, no changes to the kernel. If I would use make-kpkg kernel_image and install the generated kernel.deb could I then add the audio module with modconf without rebooting? There's no need to install the .deb if it's the same kernel version. Just copy the foo.o file (using ar tar or mc) out of the .deb into the appropriate directory (i.e. where it came from in the .deb). The run depmod -a to get its dependency inserted and modprobe it if you want it now. If you do install the .deb, you'll have to ignore the dire warnings about having to reboot, as it assumes it's trashing your old /lib/modules directory, which it isn't if you've included all the previous modules this time around. But do run lilo in case the kernel itself has moved. You don't even need to build a whole kernel if you're careful with the switches and headers. (I have a bash function compilemodule() for compiling my own modules, but it's still 2.0.x so I won't post it.)

Joey, Are you being obtuse on purpose. You cut message so that its subject is lost, then babble about filing a bug report on imaginary sources.list entries. No one said anything about sources.list entries. I called you on an inaccurate statement you made and demonstrated why it was inaccurate, cutting your statement out of the message and calling mine immaterial will not change reality. The fact of the matter is that apt-get works fine with the data I gave it via apt-setup, apt-setup then decides the data is not good enough and wants me to re-enter it. The reason it behaves like that is because the way it is coded assumes, incorrectly, that any message from apt is fatal to apt's operation. So, either you were too damn lazy to do it properly, or apt-get's output is not good enough for apt-setup to distinguish between a fatal error and a warning message. Whatever the reason, the consequence is the same: base-config requires one to have all the Packages and Sources files hanging around before it lets you configure apt, even though apt-get would work just fine with only one of those files available. Adam, I really don't care what you guys do about this one, apt will get purged when setting up potato for my own use anyways. I'll test the bf sets to the extent my hardware will allow, report on what I see, and make recommendations where I see fit... but I will not start playing word games or wasting time arguing with `programmers' who have trouble understanding how their own code interacts with the other bits of the system. I mean, it is just so F'n obvious what the bug report and my comment attached to it is about that I have a hard time believing anyone who looked at the bits in question would get confused, especially the maintainer of the package the code belongs to. - Bruce (pissed off at what he perceives as being nothing more than an attempt to cover one's butt from well deserved criticism by obfuscating the issue, grrr) -- On Thu, 3 Feb 2000, Joey Hess wrote: Bruce Sass wrote: That is not an accurate statement, base-config uses apt-setup. That's immaterial, apt-setup is part of base-config. Apt-get update runs fine, but the whiptail dialog reappears and asks me to re-enter the data destined for /etc/apt/sources.list; this appears to be under the control of apt-setup from the base-config package. apt-setup uses apt to generate that error message you see. In fact, it simply looks at apt's returns code and standard error, and dumps the standerd error output to you verbatim.

Incoming PPP, slink
At work I administer an ethernet network of several dozen Win95 desktops and a couple of Linux boxen running samba. I'm trying to set up incoming PPP on an up-to-date Debian slink box. The goal is for an employee to be able to dialup this box from her Win95 machine at home and be a full citizen of the network. mgetty is installed, and I've followed the instructions for setting up incoming PPP for Win95 machines that exist in both the /usr/doc/ppp/ and /usr/doc/mgetty-doc/ directories. I can dialup and connect fine. The problem is this: The Win95 box sees only itself and the server---it can't reach any other boxes on the ethernet network. The reverse is also true---the server can ping the Win95 box when it's connected but none of the other boxes on the network (either Win95 or Linux) can ping the dialup box. First thought is a routing problem. Perusing the docs suggests that the server, through the PPP 'proxyarp' option, will pretend to the other machines on the network to be the dialup box. /var/log/ppp.log shows the proxyarp option took, but nonetheless, there is no communication between the ppp0 and eth0 interfaces.

LaTex - Adding packages
I'm trying to add the 'titlesec' package to my Debian 2.1 system and
having a problem. After a little research, my understanding of the process
is to add additional Tex packages into one of the home or local
directories as defined in /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf and then run texhash.
So, on my system the 'local' directory for this is /usr/lib/texmf/local. I
downloaded the titlesec package off of a CTAN mirror into
/usr/lib/texmf/local/titlesec, untar'ed it and ran latex on titlesec.tex
(according to the readme provided along with it). I then ran texhash as
root and saw that the ls-R files were rebuilt. Particularly the file
/usr/lib/texmf/local/ls-R now contains the titlesec directory and
subordinate files in that directory. But in my latex source file, a
\usepackage{titlesec} causes an error that the file titlesec.sty is not
found. titlesec.sty is of course in
/usr/lib/texmf/local/titlesec/titlesec.sty and it is also mentioned in
the ls-R file there.
So, I'm not sure what I've done wrong here -- any thoughts?
Thanks...

I can't get Linux to INSTALL! Help!
I'd like to apologize for sending out the same question again, but nothing thus far has worked. Here is my problem, in detail: I have attempted to install RedHat, TurboLinux, and now I'm on Debian. None of these have I been able to install. On every single one of them, as I am doing ANYTHING requiring finding the hard drive, it tells me that there is no hard drive. This is the error message that I get from Debian: No Hard Disk! No hard disk drives could be found. Make sure they are cabled correctly before the system's started. You may have to change driver settings at the boot,... or load a driver. I've gotten similar error messages from the other Linux's... I have a 13.5 GB hard drive and it is already partitioned for Linux. What can I do? All I want to do is get the thing installed, and I can't even do that... someone please help me!

Re: I can't get Linux to INSTALL! Help!
I have had one experience somewhat like yours. I failed with Redhat and Debian. I had a hardware problem in the IDE controller. I moved my harddisk onto the second controller and told the BIOS to look there for the boot disk. That cured it. Is the disk bad? Did the system ever have windows on it? If so can you still boot into windows? Is the controller bad? Try the secondary controller like I mentioned. There are floppy based distributions like Tom's Root-Boot which will boot form floppy and let you run diagnostics on the disk. This is a very hard problem to tackle remotely. I got member of my LUG to come over and check out my machine when I had the problem. On the mailing list everybody just kept talking about cylinder, head, and sector counts.

This happens to me too, but when I try one of the .tar.gz files, it downloads compressed. Seems unlikely that my Netscape is taking it upon itself to treat these differently.

I know I've got Apache set up to automatically decompress .gz files so I can browse HOWTO's, etc. I wonder if the folks at ftp.debian.org got smart with their server here also? Probably just sending a different header to Netscape. Damn geeks! ;-) Only immediate solution I know of is to use a dumb FTP client like lftp to download these. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null I get the same error. I too was thinking about adding a mime-type to try to cure it.

So it's perhaps more understandable why Netscape behaves as it does. I tried adding a mime-type to match the gz suffix, but this does not work. I guess that Netscape will prefer the server's definition of the mime-type over its own lookup table based on the suffix, so the added entry is never used. I tried renaming the gzip binary to see if it used the gzip program, figuring that some wrapper could be put around the netscape program with a modified environment which would call cat as the application, masquerading as gzip. Unfortunately there was still no success. So it looks like Netscape has it's own routine or uses calls in one of the shared libs it links to. I haven't completely given up yet, but I don't have any current ideas on how to work around this. One of those situations where having the source available would be of some small benefit ... :-) -- Regards, Paul

Re: I can't get Linux to INSTALL! Help!
Yes, that helps... change the primary and master and slave to auto or, better yet, if your bios has it, use the autoconfigure harddisks option.

I'm pretty sure that having no harddrive's configured in bios is a problem, but to get the disks, go to: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/disks-1.44/ This assumes you are using 3.5 drive.

This command returns: 390x.o was compiled for kernel version 2.0.36 whilst this kernel is 2.2.12. When I asked 3com about this, they suggested I recompile my kernel and try again. I did this, with exactly the same results. Whoever you talked to wasn't very helpful. You must compile a 2.2.12 module. Unless there are particular problems with the driver that is all ready included with the kernel, you don't need to get the driver from 3com. The driver you need appears to be under (after make menuconfig) Network device support-Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)- 3c590/3c900 series. If this doesn't make sense, search for previous posts on compiling the kernel. Regards, Mark.

I don't have a definitive reference but here's the URL for a piece of source code associated with the FreeBSD project that has the license at the top: http://minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au/FreeBSD-srctree/newsrc/miscfs/specfs/spec_vnops.c.html It's a pretty much use this for whatever you want, with appropriate disclaimers license.

There's so much traffic on the lists that people tend to skim the subjects for things that are relevant to them. A better title would have been ISDN connection problems, which would have a better chance of being read by someone who understood the problem.

In general, you can reach any No offence intended, but in general: P(A)=1/#Reposts, and P(A==RTFM)=#Reposts/5, (approximately anyway). People on this list are very good at responding if they know what the problem is. If you don't get a response then either people don't know, or you haven't specified the problem too well. Also, it's easier if you split up your question a little more (use paragraphs as well): Breif description. What you have tried to do about it, and error messages obtained. _Relevent_ configs. What HOWTO's you've read. I don't use ISDN myself, but if I was having trouble, I would start by looking in NET3-4-HOWTO.txt.gz and Networking-Overview-HOWTO.txt.gz (/usr/doc/HOWTO/ in slink or /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/[lang]/ in potato) You've probably done this already, but just in case you haven't...

I don't have the card in question, but if the stuff that Nate suggested doesn't work, have you enabled PCI support under General Setup in the kernel config? Regards, Mark.
Re: Pronounciation of Linux that important?
Linus' own pronunciation of linux is not consistent. I've head him use each of the main pronunciation forms at various times, and often within the same conversation or speech. I say we settle it once and for all, and all agree to pronounce it Fred! That'll confuse those guys in Redmond, huh! David Kachel
