You didn't compile sound support into the kernel did you? Also, this kernel doesn't work if you are using a kernel with SMP enabled.

Samba not rotating filled logs
I seem to have a problem with logging in samba (2.0.6-5, the latest in potato). Recently, it seems that it won't rotate the log file (/var/log/smb) when it hits the size limit specified in the smb.conf file--it gives an logfile open error (see below), and starts spewing the log entries to the console. Everything still works, but it is quite annoying. Since I didn't notice the problem until the log filled up, I can't pin down exactly when it started to happen, but I'm pretty sure it happened with at least 2.0.6-4 also. I think my installation is a fairly standard frozen that is up-to-date as of the beginning of the week. I'm using the default log size of 1000 (kB), but I've also tried changing the log size, with the result that everything works until the new limit is reached, then it overflows again. I'm kind of at a loss here, since the logging works fine until it fills, and I haven't seen any bugs filed for this problem. The global part of my smb.conf and smb log file listing are below. If anything else would be useful, let me know. Any suggestions?

Drops it or queues it? I suspect the later. Occasionally if fetchmail delivers a load of messages at once exim will queue them up for delivery (I think 10 minutes later, but this is configurable).

I moved /usr/doc to /home/doc, since I have more space on the partition that is mounted on /home. Then I created a softlink to it: ln -s /home/doc /usr/doc The problem is now, that some packages (r-base 1.0.0-1 is an example) store documentation in different locations, and refer to it with softlinks using ../ These softlinks now clearly point to a non existing location. Is there a nice solution to solve this problem? Stef

Re: Installing StarOffice 5.1 from CD
The file is executable by all users and I do not have noexec opions on the CD. I have set the umask to 222. I sill get the same problem and after reading through the readme on the CD it seems that there is a problem with glibc libraries. It looks like star office needs to have a specific version installed, which I beleve is older than the current version in potato.

That's it. The problem is with the xterm.el (and xterm.elc) files of all four flavors of emacs, because they contain the line: (define-key function-key-map "\e[4~" [select]) It looks like xemacs also breaks the HOME key. The files in question are: /usr/share/emacs/19.34/lisp/term/xterm.elc /usr/share/emacs/19.34/lisp/term/xterm.el /usr/share/emacs/20.5/lisp/term/xterm.elc /usr/share/emacs/20.5/lisp/term/xterm.el /usr/lib/xemacs-20.4/lisp/term/xterm.elc /usr/lib/xemacs-20.4/lisp/term/xterm.el.gz /usr/lib/xemacs-21.1.8/lisp/term/xterm.elc /usr/lib/xemacs-21.1.8/lisp/term/xterm.el.gz and they come from the following packages: emacs19 emacs20 emacs20-el xemacs20-support xemacs20-supportel xemacs21-support xemacs21-supportel A makeshift solution is to remove the offending .elc file and either edit the .el file or just removed it as well. (You can byte compile your edited .el file if you wish, but it is pretty small.) I sent a note about this problem to debian-emacsen. Kirk Hilliard

why some OS could not recognize /033 and /007.The solution is probably using the

/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh behaviour
hi, from the documentation of util-linux (in frozen) I got the advice not to use the hwclock --adjust feature, as it is potentially dangerous (if some other program messes with the CMOS clock). My question is: what alternatives do I have? I don't have a network connection on my home box. I leave my computer off for long periods (days, even weeks) and find that the hw clock is drifting pretty bad. I don't want to set my system clock every time I boot, especially since this might introduce &pi0;time warps' in the system. IMHO, the hwclock --adjust feature is about the best I can do for getting my clock to behave. If I find out the systematic drift over a period of several months, I should be OK. But Debians policy is to store the system time in the hwclock on shutdown, so my adjustments are lost. Dennis van Dok

Somebody using MuPAD on Debian potato/woody?
Hi! Is there somebody using 1.4.2 version of MuPAD (www.mupad.de) on debian Potato/Woody. The glibc2.1 version from their ftp is very strange. Xmupad works only when I start it under olvwm AND only if it is not started from Eterm. Not on Windowmaker or Enlightenment in any way!!! :-| This is *very* strange for me. I don't have any explanation for such behaviour. It is reported to work with other distros (SuSe, Mandrake). I filed a wishlist to xviewg maintainer to explore this situation, but I am not sure at all if the bug is in Debian's xviewg. Any ideas/suggestions? --JS
Order of installation - potato/pcmcia
Hi gang! What am I doing wrong? I copied linux, install.bat, base2_2.tgz, driver2_2.tgz, loadlin.exe etc. etc. to a DOS partition on my Toshiba 4080 XCDT, then booted from a DOS floppy and ran install.bat. The installation looks great (congratulations, team!) up to "reboot the system": the boot hangs in /etc/init.d/pcmcia, right after it echoes "modules" to the screen. The pcmcia modules all show unresolved symbols. Don't they fit the 2.2.14 kernel that comes with the installation? Is something broken, or is there an operator error here? (I can Alt+Ctrl+F2 out of the dbootstrap routine and disable the init.d/pcmcia script before rebooting, but then what--go to dpkg and install kernel and pcmcia module sources and recompile before finishing the installation? That can't be the intended behavior.) Tony -- Tony Crawford -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Phone: +49-3341-30 99 99 -- Fax: +49-3341-30 99 98

newbie questions - kill and lpd
Hi All. Two newbie questions. First - I've just had netscape crash and kill -9 pid failed to work. I got a netscape zombie according to top. Any suggestions about what to do now? Second - I get messages about lp1 being out of paper - I have no printer attached at the moment. I've killed the lpd daemon, and its stopped the messages, but what is the correct way to deal with this? Thanks in advance for help.

There is a brief doc in http://www.dartmouth.edu/~jonh/lppc-serve/cache/572.html Basically what you need to do is to 1. remove /sbin/unconfigure.sh 2. fix /etc/fstab 3. fix /etc/hostname 4. fix /etc/resolv.conf 5. fix /etc/network/interfaces (apt-get get upgrade will give you new example) 6. fix /etc/modules 7. fix /etc/localtime 8. may be more .. you will find out :) I think that's almost everything you didn't do when you skip using boot floppy.

When the screen freezes, rather than rebooting, try Ctrl-Alt-F1 or Ctrl-Alt-F2 to switch to a different virtual terminal. From there you can kill the XF86Setup process.

So you may not be getting connected very nicely. Have you tried pppconfig/pon, and if so did you have any success with it? If you don't know what I'm talking about, try running pppconfig, which will set up a connection script; once that's done, type pon to connect, plog to see what's happening, and poff to disconnect.

Re: new computer ??
there are and always will be issues. as always stick to standard hardware for best results. avoid win* stuff(modems especially), most oem systems should be mostly compadible with exception of the modem 90% or so ship with a winmodem as standard, most usually have a hardware modem as an option though. of course its best to buy from a vendor that will tell you 'yes it'll run linux!'. I have found SAG Electronics to be an excellent OEM. they use all top quality stuff, www.sagelec.com they have great prices, but i dont think they offer anything real cheap/low end, most of their stuff is workstation or server class, you may be able to find something for under $1000 though. cybermax has mostly compadible systems as well one of my friends got an athlon 550 from em last year, only thing he had to swap was the modem. suse 6.3 installed somewhat easily (i had to tweak his X config for his savage4) nate On Thu, 6 Apr 2000, Hunter H Marshall wrote: marsha >I'm considering a new computer.
