Re: Linux and PS/2
Phil-- Thanks for the note. Indeed I did try your suggestion and received the error message: "can't locate module psaux" If indeed the PS/2 port is not enabled how do I go about doing this? Also, how does one determine which kernel of Debian I'm using? When the computer boots up it gives me SYSLINUX 1.42. Was I hoodwinked into buying an old distribution by less than honest computer software resellers. (OK, so I mostly bought it for the book but it also made it easy to get the program to install. I don't have easy access to a CD burner to get the image files off the net and onto my unnetworked desktop running Linux).

The above error is probably why dhcpcd and dhclient don't work - I recieved the same error myself when I started using DHCP. Try 'modprobe af_packet' before using dhcpcd or dhclient.

ER: ipmasq+DNS+sendmail
Hi all ! (Sorry, it will last long !)
Please, help me ASAP ! I have to get our system out to the Internet
and I want to build a secure system. So, I've read the HOWTOs
and the brilliant TrinityOS, but so many thing focuses on RH or RH
based systems. Ok, what we have: we have poor dialup connection
over analog lines (it soon will be ISDN, I hope), one e-mail address
at the ISP (we don't have registreted domain, we collect the letters
into one box and redirect the mail to the workers by the subject
line, because our clients identify themseves by the subject line)
and 13 machines. I have understood the importance of the IP
masquarading and created a firewall script, from the TrinityOS. And
I installed the ipmasq. What to do with the other defs and rules ?
Simly delete them and put only the firewall.rul into the
/etc/masq/rules ? I also want that the firewall get initialised with the
correct external IP address. I get the ppp file under /etc/ipmasq bur
will it pass the correct IP to the script ? I use the scripts above to
identify the ext IP and such things:
EXTIP=`/sbin/ifconfig | grep -A 4 $EXTIF | awk
'/inet/ { print $2 } ' | sed -e s/addr://`
EXTBROAD=`/sbin/ifconfig | grep -A 1 $EXTIF |
awk '/Bcast/ { print $3 }' | sed -e s/Bcast://`
EXTGW=`/sbin/route -n | grep -A 4 UG | awk '{
print $2}'`
I also want to use sendmail and deliver the
local mails immediately and send the outbound
mail to a queue to deliver later. I only want to
relay for local domain (192.168.1) and because I
want to set up a DNS on LAN (let say, it will be
office.org) I have to transform the address to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is it
possible ? So, that was all. Sorry to the gurus,
I'm just a begginner and if you tell me an URL
where I can get Debian specific info about
building a system like this I will get there and
read all the RTFMs. Please cc xour answers to my
private e-mail address, because I get the list
in digest mode (and I just subscribed).
Million thanks,

Linux and PS/2
Mike-- Sorry, being the newbie I am I have little or no understanding of the difficulties I face as yet. Anyway, what I can tell you right now is that I do not have a mouse at all when Linux boots into a command line environment. In addition, when I try "startx", the program runs and I have an X icon, but the mouse will not move it. As far as error messages are concerned, I don't seem to see any either before or after X boots. Thanks again, Brendan
tpqic02 question
Does anyone know how I can prevent the kernel from doing this device search? I can't seem to find where to turn it off in the kernel configuration. I think this tpqic02 search is somehow preventing my sound card from functioning (even if it's not, I don't have a qic-02 tape drive, so I'd rather it didn't do the search). IRQ 5, DMA 1 is where my sound card is in isapnp.conf.

Re: dhcpcd on slink
Still at it . . . I'm trying to get dhcp going on an old 486 with a 3com 3c515 NIC. With potato, dhclient runs . . . but dhcp still can't get a response. This is MediaOne in Cambridge, Mass. . . . Does anyone in Cambridge know if dhcp service requires a hostname or a registered MAC address? Here are some details: Debian: 2.2.12 (frozen) network card works fine on a LAN *manual* configuration of ip address and gateway works fine with the cable modem! But dhclient still times out.

Linux and PS/2
Hello-- I would appreciate some help with the installation of my mouse. I'm trying to get my old 100MHz pentium up and running with Linux alone and I can't seem to get the mouse installed correctly. I know it still works because I had originally installed another version of Linux (Corel) and it worked fine with KDE. I went to the Debian distribution because Corel was just too big to run efficiently on my rickety old machine. Running xf86config and picking the PS/2 mouse just isn't doing the trick. Interestingly enough, I happened to read the XF86Config file before removing the Corel version and it didn't appear to be much, if any, different from the Debian version installed now. Please help me, won't you? My X has fallen and it can't get up! Brendan

Ah, well. pppconfig is not mentioned in the HOWTO, so it's obviously something Debian-specific. (Looks like the slink instalation utility, too.)

The expample dialing script in the PPP-HOWTO uses a environment variable for the password, so it should be possible to enter something like `read PASSWORD' in the script and have the chatscript use that.

What *is* Gnome/KDE?
Hi, I have been playing around with Gnome and KDE and I do not understand what they really are! They both seem to be a bar with some docked stuff and a program launcher. This is of course seen from a users side of things. I really hope it is means more to developers! I know Gnome and KDE are called "environments", but they still only look like...errrm...a tweaked MS task bar and program launcher. I am now back to running only a window manager. I have all my software available a right-click away and no bar is taking up space anywhere. Am I missing the whole point or something?

The easiest way to do this is to boot your rescue floppy (you _do_ have a rescue floppy, don't you?), pretend as if you're going to do a fresh install, but _do not_ partition the hard disk. Instead, accept the alternate selections and mount the partitions you already have.

Re: dhcpcd on slink
Well, I'm getting there . . . I upgraded to 2.2 (frozen), and that's all working. My NIC is working, and if I set the IPADDR, NETMASK, etc., etc., manually, networking works just fine. But dhcpcd still refuses to pick the information up from MediaOne; or, its request is not getting out. Syslog reports that it's timing out waiting for a response. [I presume MediaOne is doing the right thing because a Windows system set to use DHCP gets its IP set quite nicely by MediaOne.] After dhcpcd fails, ifconfig reveals, of course, no setting for eth0. I've tried a lot of things: rebooting the cable modem; using the -h (host) and -I (client setting, to specify the MAC address I used on the network card for the computer originally connected to MediaOne) in dhcpcd . . . I'm using dhcpcd, because when trying to install dhclient, I get: socket: Protocol not available - make sure CONFIG_PACKET and CONFIG_FILTER are defined in your kernel configuration. Haven't compiled a new kernel because it seems that dhcpcd should work . . . At 04:37 PM 2/20/2000 -0600, you wrote: A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said... > Hi.

A dhcpcd compiled for a 2.0 kernel won't work with a 2.2 kernel - the programming interfaces changed for the better during the 2.1 development series, with the side effect of breaking binary compatibility. To get DHCP to work you need to do one of: * Stop using 2.2 kernels and keep using 2.0 kernels * Install the dhcpcd from potato * Compile one of the many DHCP clients available in source form youself. I like to use dhclient - that's the DHCP client included in ISC's DHCP server package. I have it mirrored (in source form) as http://tux.creighton.edu/~pbrutsch/dhcp-2.0.tar.gz > Is dhcpcd known to work on Debian? I'm trying to use version 0.70-5 It works as long as you use the right binary with the right kernel.

Unfortunately, this is still pretty much the ground that Linux users must tread over. If you can't stomach it, you might want to stick with your legacy OS for now. You can trial Linux pretty easily -- creating a 200-300 MB partition should be enough to install a basic system with X, sound, and peripheral support so you can find out what does and/or doesn't work. Several Linux distros support running in demo mode from the CD-ROM directly. You can also trial stuff with a UMSDOS (Linux over the DOS filesystem) so that you don't even have to repartition your system.

Re: Soundblaster AWE64
Hi Nils-Erik, the Tip using ALSA was great, now it works more or less. But two problems remain, perhaps someone can help me solving these: 1. I can't use programms like gmix anymore, even the volume-control in xmms doesn't work. Before you told me about ALSA, I got it to work with the normal kernel-modules, there the gmix and volume-control of xmms worked fine. 2. Somehow, my sound sounds ;-) a little bit tinny, not that quality I normally would expect. With some songs I have very strong fluctuations concerning the volume of music and voice, sometime the voice becomes that quiet that you can't hear it anymore. And the overall volume fluctuates also very much, strange? I thought about DMA or IRQ conflicts, but that doesn't seem to be the case (/proc/interrupts and /proc/dma) This was also the case the time before ALSA stepped into my life ;-) Does anybody have an idea?? -- Bye Mitch. --- / Michael Symalla(Uni-Dortmund Physik E5) \ / DESY HERA-B Bldg.66/1 office phone: 040/8998 4985 \ / Notkestr.85Fax.: 040/8998 4033 \ / D-22607 Hamburgprivate phone: 040/5000857 \ / PGP Key on keyservers or via mail: Subject: send pgp \ --- c:\winnt> secure_nt.exe Securing NT.

Recommended networked filesystem structure?
Hello, We have four SparcStation4 and an Ultra1. Up to now we had Solaris running, the whole System installed on every machine. I added a /usr/local hierarchy on the Ultra server with all the good stuff from GNU, and mounted it as a nfs filesystem under /usr/local on each one of the clients. Now I want to switch the whole configuration to debian (that I've been running at home on a PC for two years). 1. What would be the preferred way to have this kind of distributed setup with standalone, but thin clients? Is there a standard way to use the debian packaging system to divide installation up into a base system with X that is installed on every machine, and applications that reside on the server only, to be mounted via nfs? 2. How difficult is it, to do this in a heterogeneous network? We might be adding PCs soon, and I would like to have a real uniform network, all running debian, with only one application/file server. Thanks, Nils Ackermann

Re: eth0: unknown interface
Well, what you said about the modules.conf would only prevent the computer
from loading the module for the network card when booting. By loading in
this module the interface (eth0, or if there are more network cards eth1,
eth2 etc.) is known, later during boot the init.d scripts are being called
(when switching to runlevel 2, as specified in /etc/rc.2) and the
/etc/init.d/network script is also called, that script configures the
network and uses the interface eth0 to do so. That's where the error
occurs, the script tries to bring eth0 up (using ifconfig) where the
interface does not exist.

Ok, I think your right, because it could be possible that some daemons
need a network card to work properly. All of our computers which are
running Linux have a card, because they are connected in a network. I
have never tried to setup a computer with Linux but without NIC.

Re: mouse with gpm and X
Hi Armin, What was the options that were supplied to the gpm by check the file in /etc/gpm.conf (in potato). If you see the line "repeat+type=". Comment this out by placing an '#' (without the quote). and stop and restart the gpm by: /etc/init.d/gpm stop and /etc/init.d/gpm start then try to run your X again to see if it would resolve the problem.

ppp possible VJ compression problem
Hello, I would like to ask you for a help with ppp connection. I was searching for past five days debian-user mailing list. I have found a lot of different solutions for different problems but I think I didn't found situation which happens on my computer. I setup Debian 2.1 from CD, I made a minimal installation with ppp and pppconfig. I setup my modem at /dev/ttyS2 IRQ 5. this works correctly, which I tested by minicom. I run pppconfig and answers all the questions. I have two DNS, I also have dynamic IP address. I used the same ISP from Win95 with no problem. Here is a piece of the ppp.log and you can see that after autentification which path correctly the IPCP is repeatly trying to get IP address from server. I don't know what is wrong here and how it should be corrected. If you can help me any way please write my a mail. Recently I was speaking with a friend and he told me that possible VJ compression is not supported by the server. Could that be a problem? Thank you in advance CONNECT -- got it send (\d) Serial connection established.

Re: eth0: unknown interface
That has nothing to do with it and won't work (by the way, there are a lot
more network cards then just ne compatible ones).
What you should do is edit your /etc/init.d/network, you should make it
look like something like this:
#! /bin/sh
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0
If you want to you could let your system think it's on a LAN by adding the
following lines:
IPADDR=10.10.10.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST=10.10.10.255
GATEWAY=
ifconfig lo ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
route add -net ${NETWORK}
[ "${GATEWAY}" ] && route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1
I never actually tried that, but I guess it should work (take notice of
the lo after ifconfig, in your /etc/init.d/network it will probably be
eth0 (ip adresses can of course also be altered (that is: 10.10.10.10 and
with it 10.10.10.255).

If you know C, the following can help explain it: You cannot open(2) /dev/eth0 and then write(2) to it to communicate; instead you have to get a socket, then send(2) a message to the socket. If eth0 were a file in /dev, it would be very tempting to open it as a file, which wouldn't work. Carl

voodoo question
Hi! I have an old Voodoo-I (Orchid Righteous 3D) lying around here. Would I gain anything (eg better performance) if I installed it in my P166-box, especially when using snes9x? Theres something about 3dfx-support in the documentation of snes9x, but no word regarding better performance... I also wonder if X could gain some speed, too, it sure could use a boost on this box ;-) TIA, &rw
Upgrading to potato
Hi, I am going to upgrade from Debian slink 2.1 to potato. Can anybody tell me if I am wrong about the procedure? Actually, I am working with a spanish non-official Debian distribution and it includes apt-get, Kde, gnome, etc. I am not sure about the consequences of upgrading to the official distribution. 1) I need to change /etc/apt/sources.list so that it will only include the following lines: deb ftp://ftp.usc.es/pub/mirror/linux/debian potato main contrib non-free deb http://ceu.fi.udc.es/debian-non-US potato non-US/main non-US/contrib non-US/non-free 2) Now, as root, dpkg --get-selections "*" apt-get update apt-get install apt debconf apt-get -f dist-upgrade Do I need to take any precaution to execute the aforementioned commands? I think that I do not have to change to single user mode, etc. 3) From now on, if I want to upgrade to the latest release of potato I will have to do: apt-get update apt-get upgrade Is everything right? Thanks in advance. -- Santi

Is Debian going to run on my machine?
Hi: I am thinking of doing away with Windows completely and using Debian. But Microsoft has suckered me into buying a bunch of hardware that I am reluctant to throw away. Specifically, I have (1) a printer (HP color deskjet 722C), (2) a CD burner (Memorex CDRW-1622 rewritable), (7) an ATAPI 24x CR-ROM, (3) a scanner (Microtek scanmaker v310), (4) an AOpen FM56-ITU modem (5) an SiS 5597/5598 display adapter (on motherboard) (6) a CMI 8330 Audio adapter (on motherboard) I checked the Linux web site. It does not say it will or will not support these hardware. I posted a message on USENet and some suggest I try. But I don't want the trouble of finding out that it doesn't work. So I am turning to the official authority now. I just wonder if you could tell me whether Debian will run on my stuff. Thanks. galactic_war __ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

Ipfwadm -> ipchains conversion syntax help 2.0.x -> 2.2.x
Hello ..
Im about to go from kernel 2.0.38 to 2.2.x
I have some syntax questions with regards to ipchains .. and have
included below my existing IP setup in init.d/network and some
local settings ..
If someone could let me know the ipchains syntax .. that'd be great.
Current net config .. with ipfwadm setup .. simple enough setup,
linux box in 10.1.1.1 with win box on 10.1.1.2 .. linux acting
as gateway with static IP, and masq'ing for the win box.

I am after the equiv. ipchains syntax for the above ipfwadm statements.
Also .. I use ipautofw port bouncer to bounce a port for battle.net etc,
im sure some ipchains syntax can do the same?

/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_quake
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio
Ive read the rls notes and other docs on the 2.2.x series .. there
doesnt look to be anything else major I need to be aware of ? What
has other peoples experience been?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Dselect question - mirroring packages on new box
Quoth Colin Watson, > You'll want to look at 'dpkg --get-selections' on the old box, and 'dpkg > --set-selections' on the new one. I know this is a bit of a clueless newbie question (which I'm not really). I've seen this advice quite a few times, and even tried it once or twice myself without much luck... What on earth are you supposed to do after --set-selections? Is the idea that you can then go into dselect and just hit [i]nstall? My impression is that you can't use apt with it (which may be wrong), and there doesn't seem to be any command you can pass to dpkg without going through dselect (which I try and avoid). If someone could fill me in on this, it'd make my backups/resores a hell of a lot easier.

There are a few debian-bug posts suggesting a problem with gs and

The following strace exerpt run with *no* input to gs appears to bear

Adding second IP problem
After installing imp with apt from frozen I want to add an IP for the webmail.axs.org.

I *have* worked with GNOME and sawmill, and as a result have an answer to the question he asked. I have a "Windows" keyboard, and Win+RightButton over any part of the window raises it as does Ctrl+Win+UpArrow, and right-clicking on the title bar alternately raises and lowers the window. The "Win" key is bound to "Meta", so you should be able to do the same once you find your Meta key. You can customize these bindings interactively by selecting Customize from Sawmill's pop-up menu (middle button in the root window, if you haven't discovered it already) and looking under Bindings. > Really don't know.

Re: Sawmill/Gnome raising windows
Actually GNOME isn't a window manager... so you should look toward the window manager that runs under GNOME typically enlightenment or KDE... though any window manager that supports GNOME's hints should work with GNOME. If your windows manager is enlightenment.. then use enlightenments configuration tool... if you are using the Current version of enlightenment, just right click on the desktop and you will be provided with a menu of options inwhich there is a focus preferences... as for other window managers I wouldn't know how to get the window to raise on click.
