files/dirs under /var/www/

[Olaf Meeuwissen]

Just a quick question: how (un)safe is it to create your own files and
directories below /var/www/?  Are there any names taken (besides dwww
and index.html)?

A bit more information would be good.  I assume your running squid?  Do
you need to?  If not you could disable it by changing the permissions on
your '/etc/init.d/squid' script at the command line like so --

chmod a-x /etc/init.d/squid

Or if you don't need squid just uninstall it.

I failed to identify which of the many packages I had downloaded caused the
problem and choked apt-get (-s). How do you do this?
Generally speaking, would it be difficult to enhance this rather cryptic
error message a bit? From the number of posts, this problem does seem to
occur every so often. 

Eventually, in my case it helped to upgrade the apt package (from
apt_0.3.10slink11 to apt_0.3.18, while I was trying to hack the error
message - thus I never knew if that was successfull ;-). However, that was
more than a month ago and may be outdated now.

I used 'vga=ask' at the boot prompt if I remember right.  If that
doesn't work for you the 'lilo.conf' manpage says --

:   use the corresponding text mode. A list
of available modes can be obtained by booting  with
vga=ask  and pressing [Enter].

If  this  variable is omitted, the VGA mode setting
contained in the kernel image is used. (And that is
set at compile time using the SVGA_MODE variable in
the kernel Makefile, and can later be changed  with
the rdev(8) program.)

vga=ask

[A. Scott White]

I've set vga=ask in my lilo.conf and run lilo.

I've specified the kernel image along with the command line vga=auto at the
lilo prompt.

I've run rdev -v \boot\vmlinuz-2.2.15 -3

I've run vidmode \boot\vmlinuz-2.2.15 -3

I have also tried all of the above with "extended" in place of "ask" (and -2
in place of -3)

None of this has worked for me. Any idea how I can squeeze more that 80x25
out of my S3 Trio64 and my 21" monitor on Debian potato with kernel 2.2.15?

Thanks.

In a script, it's considered good practice (well, by some) to create
environment variables for executables.  Usually the argument is that you
can then invoke the executable without worrying about path.  You can
also specify arguments though, if needed.

For your script:

 o Change all occurances of "echo" to "$echo" (you might want to
   confirm).

:1,$g/echo/s//\$echo/g

 o Add:

echo="/bin/echo -e"

...and you're set.

can't access ppp

[Fish Smith]

Okay, I have two laptops, neither with a modem, both
with ppp configured to be used with an external modem
on the serial port (I mean the actual physical serial
port)
One of them connects fine.  The other opens a
connection, and plog shows it ping-ponging EchoReq's
and EchoRep's every 30 seconds as usual, however all
of my internet programs fail to connect to anything. 
It appears they do not recognize that the ppp
connection is open and that they can use it and return
the usual gamut of errors to be expected when one is
not connected at all.

The only difference between the two machines in
configuration is that the one which doesn't work for
some reason has the slip kernel module.  I don't
really know why; I tried removing it from /etc/modules
but the problem is still there.  Could this module
have anything to do with it (seeing as it is clearly
not needed here?)

Don't take offence, I'm just curious. 

If I understand you correctly, adding a switch (-march=pentiumpro / i686)
to gcc at compile time is meaningless for 99.9% of programs?

It doesn't make sense for the gcc people to add a switch that does
nothing 99.9% of the time, plus the increased unreliability factor.

Can you explain a little bit more or point to docs that can on this
issue? This is one of the thing I'm curious about.

Exim and .forward

[Mark Wagnon]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get exim and procmail to cooperate, but I'm having a
little trouble. I've read that if you use the procmail transport and
director stanzas in the exim.conf file, you can do without a .forward
file. Well, I have the following default stanzas in my exim.conf:

# This transport is used for procmail

procmail_pipe:
 driver = pipe
 command = "/usr/bin/procmail -d ${local_part}"
 return_path_add
 delivery_date_add
 envelope_to_add
 check_string = "From "
 escape_string = ">From "
 user = $local_part
 group = mail

# This director runs procmail for users who have a .procmailrc file

 procmail:
 driver = localuser
 transport = procmail_pipe
 require_files =${local_part}:+${home}:+${home}/.procmailrc:+/usr/bin/procmail
 no_verify

The director comes before the localuser part in the Directors section.
Are these what I need for this to work? Cuz it's not working. Mail is
delivered to my inbox (/var/spool/mail/mwagnon), but test messages are
never filtered into a seperate mailbox in my home directory.

I've been using the examples provided by the Procmail Quick Start
(online document at
http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/#strategies) but I yet
to get the thing to filter. I've tried with and without a .forward
file.

I've done this before, unfortunately I can't locate my notes and it's
driving me crazy looking at a bunch of unfiltered mail :@ If you have
any pointers/suggestions, please fill me in. I'm running
potato(current) and if you could cc me, as I'm trying to resubscribe
to the list, but am still waiting for my confirmation message.

Thanks a bunch,

Mark

It's not strictly what you asked about, nor is it OpenSource, but
Mathematica supports making arbitrarily large posters -- though you need
to have tape and a razor knife along for the ride.  If curious, a full
description is in "Exploring Mathematics with Mathematica" by Theodore

The problem you're currently seeing is that you disabled SMTP - you need
to reenable the SMTP services in master.cf.  You shouldn't need to
modify master.cf at all unless you are running on a very small machine.
Take a look at the documentation in /usr/share/doc/postfix/html
(basically, a copy of the website) and the sample configuration files -
it's really very well done.

From the above, it seems that Postfix is generating mail in the domain
"phoenix.phoenix" but doesn't recognise that that's the local system and
so tries to deliver it elsewhere.

 myorigin = domain.for.mail
 mydestination = domain.for.mail.
 relayhost = isp.mail.server

where domain.for.mail is whatever should appear to the right of the @ in
e-mail from your system.  If you don't have something that's yours alone
to put in there then you'll need to ensure that mail gets rewritten
appropriately (look at cannonical maps in the documentation).

Like I say, the documentation is very well done.  There's some examples
for dialup systems in there.

If this doesn't help, could you explain what your setup is like (ie,
where you get mail from and how it should go out) and post the output 
of "postconf -n".

Check the poster package (or a0poster, don't remember exactly) in the ctan (you 
will
have to use tetex for this solution- standard in debian). Good luck.

moontool, etc (john walker) for debian

Re: can surf but not ping outside

[Ron Rademaker]

Sounds like you didn't compile ICMP Masquerading in your kernel, since
ping uses ICMP packages (echo request and echo reply) you'll need ICMP
Masquerading as weel as IP Masquerading.

Stupid question: have you mounted the subdirectory locally?  I.e., try

helix gnome with slink

[Alberto Meroni]

Ok may be I should wait for the release of potato but
I am trying to install helix-gnome for slink and I tried to compile
it myself. I started from gnome-libs and it worked pretty well
for the most of the compilation but whem it reached the installation
part.. first it had some problem with db2html and I got cygnus-stylesheet
and another couple of packages from woody (yes I compiled it myself of course)
but at the end it stopped at dh_movefiles saying 

install -m 755 debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/gnome-doc debian/gnome-dev-doc/usr/bin/
dh_movefiles
make: *** [arrange-stamp] Error 1

any hint?

Many (all?) of the opengl demo programs won't do double buffering
unless you pass them a parameter.  It was something like `-DB' but I
don't remember exactly.  This would account for the flickering.

Couldn't set tty to PPP discipline: Invalid argument

[Brad Faler]

Hi,

I just upgraded my Potato system to the latest development kernel (2.4.0-test1),
but I can no longer connect to my ISP.

I tried upgrading pppd to the latest version (2.04b2 I believe), but
I'm still getting the same results.  My computer dials in to the ISP,
but then disconnects immediatly (before sending username/password information).

Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?  I haven't tried
running a different 2.3.x kernel, so I might give that a shot later tonight.

I've included the relevant section of my syslog file below:

I have used GNU Parted successfully to do this under Linux.  I

have to find a compiled version) since new users wanting to
install Linux won't have Linux to run Parted on yet.

Ah, one has to print from the gimp, AFAIK, with the "File," then
"Print" selections from the menu to make it work.  The gimp-print drivers
are at http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/

Some of the messages spit out when you run into a predepend problem
should tell you what packages are involved; manually install and
configure the package that is predepended on, then pickup were you left
off.  "dpkg --configure-pending" is a good thing to do, and may even

Actually, those days are over.  There are linux distros that will
install an ext2fs loopback filesystem on a FAT partition.  This way you
don't modify the partition table at all, and you don't have to muck
around with UMSDOS.  I'm not sure what the technical consequences are of
this sort of setup, but it's probably the best option for the pure
newbie.

Linux doesn't need a ghost clone.  dd and tar/gzip should work pretty
nicely for that sort of thing.  Ghost is only necessary on windows
because the copy/xcopy dos commands have some nasty implications when
used with long filenames.

potato upgrade sound problem with Yamaha OPL3-SA2

[Stephen Felderhof]

hello everyone,

i wonder if anyone might be able to help me or if anyone has had a
similar problem. Since upgrading to potato i've been unable to get
sound to work. I know looking in the archives that this sort of
problem seems to occur regularly but i haven't yet found a solution.

i've got a Yamaha OPL3-SA2 chip on my motherboard (which worked under
slink). My version of potato is up-to-date as of 31/05/00 and i'm
running kernel version 2.2.15. I can get sound by playing audio cds
directly but no other way, for instance:

$ play *.wav 
> playing *.wav
> sox: Invalid audio buffer size 0

$ mpg123 *.mp3
[..]
> Can't open /dev/dsp!

When i try to load the opl3sa2 module I get the following problem:

$ insmod opl3sa2 io=0x100 mss_io=0xE80 mpu_io=0x300 irq=10 dma=1 dma2=3
> Using /lib/modules/2.2.15/misc/opl3sa2.o
> /lib/modules/2.2.15/misc/opl3sa2.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
> Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
> including invalid IO or IRQ parameters

These are the settings that i was happily using before the
upgrade. 'isapnp' seems to be happy with them. My /etc/isapnp.conf
file looks like:

(ISOLATE)
(IDENTIFY *)
(CONFIGURE YMH0030/2156265473 (LD 0
(IO 0 (BASE 0x0220))
(IO 1 (BASE 0x0E80))
(IO 2 (BASE 0x0388))
(IO 3 (BASE 0x0300))
(IO 4 (BASE 0x0100))
(INT 0 (IRQ 10 (MODE +E)))
(DMA 0 (CHANNEL 1))
(DMA 1 (CHANNEL 3
(WAITFORKEY)

and "isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf" gives:

> Board 1 has Identity cb 80 86 00 01 30 00 a8 65:  YMH0030 Serial No
2156265473 [checksum cb]

I've tried many, many other combinations of possible io/irq/dma
settings to no avail. I'm stumped, especially since i can't spot any
io/irq's that clash with the above choice (or any others that i've
tried).

If anyone can shed any sort of light on my problem i'd be very
grateful. I currently feel like i'm going round in circles. I've read
all the documentation that i can find but have not yet had any luck.
That said, it wouldn't surprise me if i was doing something stupid. If
there is any other information about my setup that might be relevant -
i'll happily provide it.

Very much looking forward to your ideas,

I was trying to get NFS working a month or so ago and ran into the same
problem, then got sidetracked when upgrading to the latest release of
everything and haven't looked at it since ( #18 on the ToDo list). 

I found that the "forgot to set AF_INET in udp sendmsg. Fix it!" message
was coming from .../net/ipv4/udp.c in the kernel source.  I also had
"mountd[pid#]: getfh failed; Function not implemented" messages when I
tried starting NFS from the command line (i.e., "/etc/init.d/nfs-*
restart", etc.); other stuff also appeared when starting up manually
"RPC: sendmsg returned error 101", and "portmap: server localhost not
responding, timed out", but these seemed to stem from whatever was
causing udp_mesdmesg in udp.c to spit out the "forgot to
set..." error.

 magicfilter might be the one you are looking for.  ghostscript
is another one you should download and read the docs for.  gimp-print
is supposed to be wonderful for drivers, and the info to compile it is
there.  But I've looked through the docs for gimp-print (also the bin

it (no man or /usr/doc info I can find either).  ;-)

php3-cgi runs like any other cgi script.  Apache hands the php3 file to
php3 and return the output to the HTTP client.  Of course, this only
works, if Apache knows what to do with an php3 file, which it finds out
by looking into httpd.conf (or was it srm.conf?).  As of finding out,
which *is* actually running ...  Dunno.  Maybe the Apache logs can help?

As an alternative:

Try adding dl(mysql.so) to your php files *before* any MySQL commands
are called.

If that doesn't do the trick, you're missing some debs.

Okay, this is of the top of my head, because I don't have Linux at
work.  The X server can get his fonts from a directory or over a network
connection.  So the "fp+" tells the X-Server to look for fonts in an
additional location and the "unix/:7101" tells him where to look.

I think you have to issue that command as root, after starting X.  So to
try out xfstt, do the following in a xterm:

xfstt & <-- start xfstt in the background
<-- wait a couple of seconds
xset fp+ unix/:7101 <-- add the new fontpath

After that you should have true type fonts until you end your current X
session.

If you like xfstt, you can automate that job, by installing an init
script that starts xfstt at boot time (which Debian does for you if you
install xfstt from dselect or apt-get) and adding the "unix/:7101" to
your fontpath in the global XF86Config file (which you have to do
yourself).  Man XF86Config should help you with the latter.

Hope that helps,

free partition magic type thing

[da Bobstopper]

does anyone know of a free software equivalent of partition magic? including
the ability to alter the size and features of existing partitions? i'm thinking
it's about time there was one and i might get desperate enough to write my
own if anyone else thinks it's a good idea (don't quote me on this, the thought
only just occured to me...)

what i'm figuring is that if we want to push free software, we've got to make
it more accessible. a lot of people only want to try out linux at first, and
are put off when they find they need to go buy partition magic or whatever
to make room for linux. it would be nice to be able to say to these soon to
be linux devotees "hey, look! there's a free software equivalent to do it for
you! isn't free software grand! *nudge nudge*".

Re: OT: dial-up -> leased line

[Dan Hutchinson]

If you are talking about ISDN lines, then you can get faster speeds than
33.6kbps by using multiple B channels bundled together, but I am not
sure about the cost.

Supposing that you have it installed already and that it is in /usr/bin
you could do the following:
a) update /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager (or something similar) to point 
to /usr/bin/kde. There is a program that can do this for you I think it's 
called update-alternatives (but I never used it up to now)
b) in your .xinitrc file in your home directory put as last line
/usr/bin/kde (and remove of course any other window manager that might be 
started in there).

This question was asked on slashdot last week and it received some good
responses.  Here's the link:

I looked into voice over ip about 6 months ago and found openh323 to be
the most promising, but it was still in very early development.  I'm
surprised to see how far it (and other solutions) have come since then.

Help E xlogo menu weirdness

[Jonathan Gift]

Hi,

I've configured the E menu to launch every app but one and I can't figure
out why. What am I missing?

"XEyes" NULL exec "xeyes"
"XClock" NULL exec "xclock"
"XLogo" NULL exec "xlogo"

The xlogo will not run when activated through the menu. Yet it will run from
a terminal. Anyone have any ideas as to why it won't?

Thanks,

Software Raid Help

Hello Group,
I trying to setup a Software Raid system on my Potato box. I have installed
the Raidtools2 and install a second ide drive. The How to's talk about
"raidtab" file. I assume they mean I have to create it myself. Does anybody
have any experience  doing this? I made the file and placed it in /etc but
when I try to use the command "mkraid /dev/md0" I receive an error "cloudn't

Any Idea's guy's ?

 Sending HTML formatted email is considered being rude by most folks, and is 
generally discouraged.  Its a dead giveaway that
one is a windoze user (and nobody wants to admit to that, do they? ;) ).

 Most mailing lists (especially developer forums) explicitly forbid the use of 
HTML formatted messages because of the large
number of people who don't (or won't) use GUI-based mail readers.

 However if you must, most browsers and email progs usually have a check-box in 
their message 'settings' or config menu that
allows the user to choose between HTML and 'normal' email formats.

 Just be aware that many in the *nix world simply delete HTML formatted emails 
without reading them...

 peace-

Well, most dialup-modems aren´t able to deal with a dry copper pair (which I
assume will be your leased line). Certain USR/3COM are capable of handling
this, the only one I know for sure is the Courier though...

So you may want to doublecheck if your modem can handle this (www.3com.com?).
Also note that you will never get more than 33k6 over dry copper with that
sort of cheap modems (there´s no ISDN-counterpart for achieving V.90 or the
like).

Re: Raid setup

[Jens B. Jorgensen]

This is a bigger issue than you surmise. RAID collections are activated after 
the
system boots because information about the RAID set has to be fed to the RAID
drivers. It's possible someone has devised a way of feeding this information to 
the
kernel at boot time. These problems can be alleviated by a hardware raid 
controller.

Re: OT: dial-up -> leased line

Yes, leased line signalling is different. You have to have a modem which 
supports
leased line operation. I remember in the past an external modem I had which 
could do
this. I don't recall the brand/make.

Transmeta cpu

[Kenneth Scharf]

As some of you may know there exists an instruction in
most Pentium class cpus that returns a character
string   which identifies the maker of the chip.  For
example an Intel cpu returns "Genuine Intel", Amd
cpu's return "Authentic AMD".  Cyrix cpu's return
"Cyrix Instead".  Note that the string is always 13
characters long.  So what ID string will the Transmeta
return?  If they havn't figured this out yet might I
suggest the following: "Penguin Power" after Linus? 
(Note, also 13 characters).

How to use html in e-mail

[Martin Jochems]

Dear expert,

I have a problem. I want to use HTML inside an e-mail message
but have no idea how. Let's assume the e-mail composer and
receiver are providers like yahoo, hotmail, outlook etc,
in other words: mail providers which support MIME messages.

I want the html of course to 'show up' (executed) immediately,
things like bold letters, background etc.
I know it has something to do with MIME but I can't find
anywhere how exactly to use it, I know there are some
MIME mail composers which could do something but I want
to make the html code completely myself manually (in the notepad).

Does anyone know how to do this exactly? (I have only win95, 98.
I dont't want to do it on Linux).

If you know, please mail me at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Anyway, thanks,

Adaptec Error

[Paulo Henrique Baptista]

Hi all,
I have a Pentium III with a Adaptec SCSI Card and I'm trying do install 
slink at this computer. 
The boot is hanging at the following lines:

(scsi 0)  found at PCI 9/0
(scsi 0) Wide Channel, SCSI ID=7 16/255 SCBS
Warning-detected auto-termination
Please very driver detected settings are corret.
If not, then please properly set the device termination
in the Adaptec SCSI BIOS by hitting CTRL-A when prompted
during machine bootup.
Cables present (Int 50 YES, Int-68 No, Ext-68 No)
Downloading sequencer code ... 4/9 instructions downloaded

I'm lost because I dont know many thing about SCSI.

I removed the SCSI card and it stopped at the line md...
when it's trying to detect SCSI.

What I can do?
Thanks

Re: identd problems

[Servomaa Henri]

Hi all,

I recently found out that neither talk nor identd were working and 
after reloading inetd the following errors appeared in syslog.

inetd[9663]: ntalk/udp: unknown service
inetd[9663]: ident/tcp: unknown service

Now, I purged and reinstalled pidentd and talkd but no change.

In inetd.conf the relevant lines look like:

talk   dgram  udp  wait  nobody.tty  /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/in.talkd
ntalk  dgram  udp  wait  nobody.tty  /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/in.ntalkd
ident  stream tcp  waitidentd/usr/sbin/identd identd

And these are written in /etc/services too.

I checked these with a working sparc potato installation
and an i386 woody installation.
I found no differences... 
Suspecting a corrupt inetd I compiled netbase and reinstalled. No
change...

I'm a bit lost as to where to look from now. 
Any pointers ?

TIA

Enlightenment & Xfree problems

[Robert Martinovic]

I am noticing several problems with all things X on my
potato system.  Namely:

In enlightenment, I can't seem to get any of the
themes apart from Brushed Metal & BlueSteel to work. 
Any other I have tried has come up with errors such as
no title bars, and not being able to use any of the
menus.

Ditto for gnome.

In apps like gmc, I don't get scrollbars in the
right-hand pane window.  This is very annoying whilst
trying to navigate around.

This is just my inexperience, but if I'm starting up
through xdm, which file and how, do I get 32 bit
colour instead of 8bit?  I've tried xf86setup, but I
can't get it to work for me.

Finally, in some places the fonts are a legible size. 
Other places the font is so small, it is hard to
distinguish.

I would be grateful for any help to any of these
questions.

Regards,

Robert Martinovic

Hi there,
 This sounds like the Adaptec 2940 problem with some early cards
and the number of SCSI drivers in the boot disks. Do you have a 2940
card? There were some boot disks around that fixed this problem,
unfortunately I can't remember where they were. Perhaps others can tell
you. I have a set at home so I'll look up the URL and let you know.

Your upgrade gives you some trouble, I've had it too, the way I fixed it
is not a real nice way but it worked. I did the following:

Went to the directory where apt downloaded to, used dpkg several times
with all kind of --force options, after lots of puzzling which package I'd
do next and what force option I should use this time, finally... finally
my system was upgraded and running.

If anybody has other ideas, you should probably try those first.

Advice required - Macjanet to debian/netatalk/samba

[C. Falconer]

Okay - bear with me for the explanation on this.

I work at a secondary school (3)...  we have a room of Macintoshes, with 
27ish LC2s on ethertalk (10baseT ethernet).  They tend to die in 
interesting and expensive to fix ways (1)

The current Macintosh server is a SE/30 with 16 Mb ram and a 2G SCSI drive. 
 It runs Waterloo Macjanet, and there is one HP Laserjet 4M+ with a 
jetdirect.

Thats the current situation.  We have been donated a dozen Compaq 486s and 
I have obtained a P120 with 96 Mb ram and 3 Gb of scsi disk (2) which I 
intend to use as a server for this room.  The room in question is not 
attached to the rest of the network, and will not have any internet access, 
however it is fully cabled for 10baseT.

I intend to use the remaining 27 macs and 5 486s to bring the number of 
terminals back up to a class size.

My questions:

Can netatalk and samba cooperate nicely in such an environment?
What print charging solutions can deal with a mixed mode environment?
LPRng or LPR ?
What packages should I grab now while it has net access ?
What pitfalls might I strike?


(1) Macintosh Power-insert, Power-eject floppy drive goes for about $480 
NZ, which is approximately $230 US at current rates.
(2) Got it at an auction - it was labelled as having a 1 Gb drive plus a 2 
Gb drive, so I check the back and its SCSI.  It was also supposed to have 
16 Mb ram, and had 96.  The final price was $475 NZ... I think I scored 
well :)

You shouldn't need to.

If you have php3 (not php3-cgi) installed:
  - Install php3-mysql;
  - Ensure that the line
extension=mysql.so
appears in /etc/php3/apache/php3.ini
  - Stop & re-start apache.

If you're using php3-cgi:
  - Install php3-cgi-mysql;
  - Ensure that the line
extension=mysql.so
appears in /etc/php3/cgi/php3.ini


HTH,

Tim;
This was a problem with the kernel scsi code and was fixed in
newer versions.  You need a newer kernel to install.

I found http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/ssh-howto.html useful. The SSH FAQ
is at http://www.employees.org/~satch/ssh/faq/

I guess at the server side the file /usr/local/etc/sshd_config should
contain the line 'RSAAuthentication yes'. There is more info in the
above HOWTO. It may be convenient to use ssh-agent and x11-ssh-askpass
for authentication.
