TNT2-OpenGL-Mesa
Does anyone know step-by-step instructions for installing NVIDIA's OpenGL libraries? The instructions on their website imply that all I have to do is remove my libMesaGL and make a symlink from that to their libGL. But won't a new version of the mesag3 package undo that? It also fails to mention mesa's libGL. Finally, the Mesa docs almost seem to imply that libMesa is depreciated in favor of libGL, but they are two different files!

Yes.

It looks like it.
A typical exim.conf contains transports including (e.g.):
localuser:
driver = localuser
transport = local_delivery
Replace or precede this with
foouser:
driver = localuser
transport = foo_delivery
domains = foo.domain.org
baruser:
driver = localuser
transport = bar_delivery
domains = bar.domain.org
And add local transports for them:
foo_delivery:
driver = appendfile
group = mail
mode = 0660
mode_fail_narrower = false
file = /var/mail/foo/${local_part}
bar_delivery:
driver = appendfile
group = mail
mode = 0660
mode_fail_narrower = false
file = /var/mail/bar/${local_part}
You would probably also want to customise the other
directors (system_aliases, userforward) to differentiate
between the different domains.

Here is where the problems start. Exim has to know the UID
to use to write the mailbox; if they don't have an account on
your system then there's no good way with spool mailboxes
to make it so that the legitimate user can access it (without
an account, how do you authenticate them? without an account,
how can you ensure that they can read the mailbox but others
can't?)

Then I reboot the system and try ifconfig and eth0 is fine has the same settings before I rebooted but eth1 has NON SET where the ip and netmask should be. This system is slink running 2.2.12.

sound crashes system .. more info
Reply-To: I forgot to include a few things in my mail. I noticed 2 new errors in my logs that I haven't noticed before. Here they are: modprobe: can't locate module sound-slot-1 modprobe: can't locate module sound-service-1-3 Also a "cat /proc/interupts" shows no conflicting IRQs. I tried recompiling my kernel and compiling the sound driver as a module, but that didn't help.

sound crashes system
Reply-To: Hiya. I'm having problems playing sounds on my pc. First I'll explain the problem then I'll give some background data. I can play music cds fine, but if I try to use play, xmms or mpg123, it freezes my system and I have to reboot. This problem just started today when I upgraded my motherboard. With my old MB, xmms and play worked fine. When that MB failed, I grabbed an old p100 pc I have and switched out all my HDs and cards into the p100 box. Again, everything worked fine. Then today my Abit BE6 II MB arrived so I hooked everything upto my new MB and rebooted. Now if I try to play any sounds aside from music cds, my system just freezes up .. no errors or anything. The only thing I can do is reboot. I'm using a Diamond Monster MX300 with the driver provided by Aureal. Kernel 2.2.12 Debian 2.1 Again, the only thing that's changed is my MB.

I think the easiest solution right now is to get the 3.3.6 packages. Add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://samosa.debian.org/~branden slink/ update, and download away.

The weird thing is that the ksymoops package is not installed on my system and never, as far as I can tell, has been---/var/lib/dpkg/status, all the old versions of /var/lib/dpkg/status, dpkg -s, dpkg -l, and /usr/share/doc all agree about that.

Sound Question
I am trying to setup a SoundBlaster16 sound card, I have recomplied the kernel for sound and pnp support. Now I see the howto is telling me to: Use pnpdump to capture the possible settings for all your Plug and Play devices, saving the result to the file /etc/isapnp.conf. Choose settings for the sound card that do not conflict with any other devices in your system and uncomment the appropriate lines in /etc/isapnp.conf. Don't forget to uncomment the (ACT Y) command near the end. Make sure that isapnp is run when your system boots up, normally done by one of the startup scripts. Reboot your system or run isapnp manually. 1) after using the 'pnpdump' how do I save it to the /etc/isapnp.conf. 2) Where do I uncomment the (ACT Y) command? I didnt see it. 3) How do I make sure the isapnp is run at bootup? Thanks Guys Jay

Re: Kernel Config
Actually, /usr/src/linux is the default -- Linus ships the tree in a format to go in a directory called linux. In general, you want to symlink /usr/src/linux to the actual location of your kernel sources. If you use a .deb of the source, then you'd end up with /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.15 or similar.

Different types of kernel
Someone was asking about this: (Gathered from http://auric.debian.org/~aph/bf/2.2.15/README.txt ) The flavors available for this architecture are `compact', 'idepci', and `udma66'. compact A Linux kernel with some non-critical device drivers removed, and a few of the more common PCI device drivers compiled into the kernel itself. See images-1.44/compact/README.txt idepci Similar to compact, but even more PCI device drivers are compiled into the kernel, and SCSI is removed. See images-1.44/idepci/README.txt udma66 . Specialized kernel for those who require the UDMA66 IDE patch. This may be needed if you have a Promise Ultra66 IDE controller, among others. See images-1.44/udma66/README.txt

Re: driver
I personally like www.opensound.com. It's $20 for something like a 5year license + updates. And the support I got from them on a REALLY screwy laptop was awsome. The guys called me back so it'd be their nickle (dime?). They were also willing to go through 4 ssh hops to log in and do some trouble shooting, listening to the audio out over a speaker phone for about 3hrs. Worth the $20, and the virtual dsp driver is great.

RE: mod_frontpage and original Debian Apache src
Sven, > I need a Apache webserver with Frontpage Server Extensions. > To get this binary I downloaded the FP Server Extensions from the web and > untarred the file. I built the mod_frontpage as well. Unfortunately, I don't recognize the problems you describe. I downloaded the apache source and built it rather than go through debian package manager(s). I recommend trying this. There are a few differences. Make sure debian source is apache version 1.3.12. Mod_frontpage requires this. The other difference is directory location. Debian has chosen to not use /usr/local. Apache defaults to /usr/local/apache. I would make sure you have apache version 1.3.12. That is most likely it.

These are the kernels used for the different `flavours' of the i386

The Makefiles are there to help you, and if you use them your life will become a lot easier. The fact that gcc didn't return any errors doesn't necessarily mean that it was doing what you thought it was doing (the object file you produced probably needed to be linked against something else). Try changing to the directory containing tulip.c and typing 'make tulip.o' instead, then installing it as before. If that doesn't work, then I've missed out a step, too; trying 'make modules' or just 'make' in the appropriate directory might work better, even if it takes a little longer (it's still not a full kernel recompilation). Your problem, at any rate, is that tulip.o isn't linked against something against which it needs to be linked, which doesn't surprise me too much when it's compiled with just 'gcc -c'. >i don't think you can build module(s) without building the kernel that will >use it/them. >i've always made my kernel a-la debian (with kernel-package) and never had >problems with modules. >the reason is (my opinion, please correct if i'm wrong) that kernel need to >know which modules it has to be prepared to support.

Since no one's tackled this... Reversing orders: - The X Window System (the full and proper name), aka X or X11, is a network-based, platform independent, client-server graphics windowing system developed at MIT. There's a lot of verbage in there, but it means something. Networked -- X can view (or be viewed) across networks, with applications and displays on entirely seperate machines. Platform independent -- there are X servers for Linux, Unix, Windows, Mac, OpenVMS, etc. Client-server -- though the nomenclature is backwards from the usual meaning, your display is a "server", and applications are "clients", running on it. You'll hear people refer to "X clients" from time to time. For all of that, X11 is just the bare bones of the windowing system. Launch it bare and you'll get a herringbone backdrop and a large 'X' pointer (mouse cursor). Windows have no decorations (borders, title bars, buttons), and cannot be moved or modified. To do that you need a... - wm -- window manager. Something that manages windows. Provides ability to select, deselect, resize, move, raise, lower, and/or close windows on a display. Usually also provides "bindings" or associations to keystrokes and mouse button presses to give things like menus and the like. Examples: twm, mwm, fvwm[2], WindowMaker, AfterStep, kwm, enlightenment, blackbox, sawfish (was sawmill), blackbox, icewm, etc., etc., etc.) WindowManagers range from very basic (twm, wm2) to very extravagent (enlightenment, kwm). They're a very personal choice (I prefer WindowMaker). You can try several, can usually switch among them during an X session, or can launch multiple X sessions (hint: use DISPLAY values) and see how they look and feel. More advanced WMs tend to work better with faster (300+ MHz and more memory rich 64/96+ MB) systems. For that old P-I or 486 system with 32 MB, try blackbox, twm, fvwm, or another lighter-weight wm. - Desktop. A combination of tools, usually including a window manager, widget sets, drag'n'drop support, and some integrated applications, to create a total "environment". The three classic Linux/Unix desktops are CDE (a horribly bletcherous commercial product based on Motif, HPUX VUE, and Sun OpenLook), KDE, and GNOME. Basically providing an environment similar to what you'd find on a legacy MS Windows or Mac system. I find the whole desktop/taskbar motif to be broken, personally, and prefer a cleaner look. - File manager. An X client for managing files. If you remember FILEMAN.EXE from Win3.x, or MS Windows Explorer, these are examples of file managers. Basically, a GUI application which represents files and directories as graphical icons and lets you interact with them via a pointer -- move, copy, delete, view, edit, run, etc. Other typical clients include an editor, a calculator, a mailer, a scheduler. These are frequently bundled together as part of a "Descktop" suite such as CDE, KDE, or Gnome. The difference between Linux and legacy MS Windows is that you can choose which components you want under Linux. Microsoft bundles the graphics, window management, desktop, and application suite in a way that's hard to pull apart. > i want to cut down the amount of resource my given to gui, people keep > saying sawmill is small, enlightenment is this, kde is that, Depending on your constraints: lower resolution, fewer colors, less overhead.

unpgraded removed some problem on my machine (don't know which one if any caused the problem) and now when linux comes up, I get a message that it is looking for a valid xserver, it then says that it couldn't find any and goes into text login. once I login as a user I can start x with no problem using startx. I am using kdm as a login manager, and a rage pro turbo card with the mach64 server. I tried to install the xwin files, but I probably missed something (including the xserver). I haven't reistalled kdm yet though. Thanx [EMAIL PROTECTED]
directories->files
I have just discovered after an extraction from a back up tar.gz archive that some of my directories have turned into files. They look the right size for the old directories but I can't cd into them. Is there a way to tell the system these files are in fact directories? Oh yes. They all appear to be directories that had other links to them. Paul Clark
R: R: tulip.o kernel module
i don't think you can build module(s) without building the kernel that will use it/them. i've always made my kernel a-la debian (with kernel-package) and never had problems with modules. the reason is (my opinion, please correct if i'm wrong) that kernel need to know which modules it has to be prepared to support.

cua-mode.el 1.7
Hi, Anyone here experiences this using cua-mode.el in emacs 20.5: When I use the C-c to copy or C-x to delete some selected text in emacs and C-v to paste it copied text, emacs would paste the text with some conversion to some characters: [EMAIL PROTECTED]&*() would be pasted as 1234567890 Any one alpha numeric characters that requires the SHIFT to input such as ~!@ or :, or " will be converted to its NON-SHIFT character. I used the same elisp package (cua-mode.el) on NTemacs without this problem. Any help will be appreciated. --- tcp [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: R: tulip.o kernel module
I built it by hand. Reason being I shouldn't have to recompile the entire kernel to add one module. So I tried it that way. I downloaded the 2.2.14 kernel-source and messed arround with the compile command for a while and found that the sugested command: gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c tulip.c does not work... but gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c tulip.c worked. Once that was done, I thought I just had to install the module in the correct place and do a 'depmod -a'. --- marco frattola <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > i built a 2.0.36 kernel with that driver, and worked like a charm... > did you build the module driver with a kernel, or did you build it > after? > > Marco Frattola (S3 - Sviluppo Software e Sistemi) - > Cubecom S.p.A. > Via de Marini,1 3 piano Torre WTC > 16149 GENOVA > tel. 010 6591184 > > > Has anyone been able to compile and use the tulip.c file that comes > > with the Netgear FA-310TX card? > > > > I finally got the module compiled but when I run 'depmod -a' the > > command returns > > > > depmod: ***Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.14/net tulip.o > > > > and if I run a 'insmod tulip' instead or after I get a screen full > of > > unmet dependencies.

various kernel-images
Hi all, anyone know the difference between kernel-images? There are several to choose from: kernel-image-2.2.15-idepci_... kernel-image-2.2.15-ide_... kernel-image-2.2.15-compact_ etc... I can guess what the compact kernel image is but what are the other two? Thanks Parrish = --- Academia is a little like child | Parrish M.

IDE CD-RW + sound
I have just installed a debian potato in a friend of mine's box. He has an IDE cd-writer and he uses scsi-emulation to record cds, but the CD player of KDE can not reproduce any sound. This program is capable of reading CD-toc, and after starting playing the seconds counter changes, but no sound comes out from the speakers. We have tried with other cd-players (like cccd or wmplay) but no one could make it work. Any idea? Thanks -- .'/,-Y" "~-. Vicente Torres Carot l.Y ^. Universidad Politécnica de Valencia /\ __ "Doh!"

mod_frontpage and original Debian Apache src
Hi, I need a Apache webserver with Frontpage Server Extensions. To get this binary I downloaded the FP Server Extensions from the web and untarred the file. I applied the patch to the reqiured files. Then I ran the debian/rules file the the cmd option build to build the Apache binary. Everything works fine except running the binary. When I tried to connect to the server with a browser I get a segmentation fault. This is the last few line of the error.log [Thu May 25 13:03:59 2000] [notice] Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) Debian/GNU PHP/4.0b3 mod_perl/1.21_03-dev FrontPage/4.0.4.3 configured -- resuming normal operations [Thu May 25 13:03:59 2000] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/lib/apache/suexec) [Thu May 25 13:04:05 2000] [notice] child pid 6626 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Thu May 25 13:04:36 2000] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down [Thu May 25 13:04:42 2000] [notice] Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) Debian/GNU PHP/4.0b3 mod_perl/1.21_03-dev FrontPage/4.0.4.3 configured -- resuming normal operations [Thu May 25 13:04:42 2000] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/lib/apache/suexec) [Thu May 25 13:04:47 2000] [notice] child pid 6649 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Thu May 25 13:04:54 2000] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down [Thu May 25 13:05:06 2000] [notice] Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) Debian/GNU PHP/4.0b3 mod_perl/1.21_03-dev FrontPage/4.0.4.3 configured -- resuming normal operations [Thu May 25 13:05:06 2000] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/lib/apache/suexec) [Thu May 25 13:05:14 2000] [notice] child pid 6674 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Thu May 25 13:05:24 2000] [notice] child pid 6675 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Thu May 25 13:06:16 2000] [notice] child pid 6676 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) What could be the problem?

Perhaps strange mail question
I would like to accept mail for many domains and put them in separate spool directories. IE mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] would go in /var/mail/foo/user and mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] would go in /var/mail/bar/user. Q1: Is this possible? Q2: Is this possible with exim? Q3: How could I authenticate that user existed at bar.domain.org (when user may not have an account on the system) before writing to his/her spool file? I think I'd have to use procmail, but then I'd have no idea how to tell exim to route _all_ mail through procmail except the mail _actually_intended_ for the local machine.
