Re: reorganizing disks
Hi Sven, Allmost right, you can us dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/sda but add the right partition number to it. so it would become dd if=/dev/hdb1 of=/dev/sda1. But I don't know if the kernel will like it to be moved around from ide to scsi. It should be compiled to work before moving it. Besides you'll have to change all your configuration to run from /hda/sda1. Especially the /etc/lilo.conf will have to be changed and rerun from the scsi disk. also the /etc/fstab will have to be editted to get your swap to work. And check the rest of /etc/* for more configuration files that have to be changed. - Original Message - From: Sven Burgener [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Debian Users debian-user@lists.debian.org Sent: Saturday, June 17, 2000 12:54 AM Subject: reorganizing disks Hello Debians I want to move a whole debian install from one disk onto another.

(help)-Install process hangs after DC390:0 adapters found
Hi all, I have a really BIG problem with the install process of a 2.1r4 Debian system. I've already managed to install it on 3 computers of mine : Celeron300/32M,486/8M,486/16M. Now I want to install it on my primary system, which is an Athlon650/128M. But the install process crashes just after DC390 : 0 adapters found. I have no ctrl+alt+sup, no num/caps leds available, nothing : the computer is frozen. So I decided to take a look at the boot process of my others Debian systems ; after DC390, it always say failed init/detect of wd-7000 scsi card _but_ it doesn't_stop, like my primary system. I believe that the wd-7000 is a Western Digital scsi adapter, I'm not sure. The fact is that I have NO scsi adapters on my primary system, see config below : Athlon650, 128M RAM no network card no scsi adapters MGA Millennium G200 gfx card, 8M/AGP no sound card ide :6.4 Go Seagate HDD(primary master), 15 Go IBM HDD(primary slave), 40xCDROM (sec. master). 1.44 floppy drive. As you can see, there's no special item in my config. I've tried a S3 pci video card instead of the G200, a 64M and a 32M SDRAM instead of my 128M one, another cd-rom drive, another floppy drive, boot from the CD or from a floppy - the system always hangs after DC390(...)... I've tried numerous boot methods : nosmp, no-hlt, kbd-reset,gdth=disable:y,debug,verbose-system always hangs. I was wondering if there was a parameter like DC390=no_probe, wd7000=no_probe or something like that ? I've already spent 8 hours on it, and now I'm very tired, I don't know what to do (wait for a 2.2 cd bwahahaha ! -NO). Help would be REALLY REALLY appreciated ! I apologize for my english. Thanks.

mouse in X again
Hi, obviously, I was too fast when saying, that the mouse works under X now. The problem I am facing: The second mouse button does not work. I cannot cut and paste. Is this perhaps caused by the entry Microsoft in section pointer of XF86Config so that XF86 thinks, I have got a 2 button mouse? Since this is a Logitech 3 button mouse. Should I perhaps choose another protocol instead of Microsoft? Regards, Kerstin -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm running potato with kernel 2.2.16 and I applied the 2.2.16 SMP version of the patch (the only 2.2.16 patch they had, even though I don't use SMP) and converted the RPM to .deb with alien (they don't have a .deb for the eval version, although the full version does). It took some work, but what I did to get it to install is: edit the install_win4lin.sh (i think that's what it's called) script, and change the line where it installs the package using rpm (ie. rpm -i win4lin.rpm or something like that) to rpm -i --nodeps win4lin.rpm. Otherwise it complains about /bin/sh not being installed (since we have nothing else in the RPM database). This way, you can install it using RPM instead of dpkg (i tried what you did first too but got the same problem). Now set the environment variable which it checks to see which package system to use (sorry, can't remember what it was exactly) to rpm. Run the script, it should work now.

I do not think it is, (though it should be IMO) there are a few reasons: gid 0 (root on linux) is usually only used as the `wheel' group, under BSD you add users to the wheel group who are permitted to su to root. group wheel membership makes almost NO changes to what the user has permissions to. there are a couple files here and there that gid=wheel members have *read* permission to (config files mostly) that i see on my OpenBSD system, but otherwise being a member of group wheel does nothing more for me then let me su to root. now under linux gid=root is not intended to be used this way because su does not enforce the so called wheel group. thus the permissions on the filesystem do not appear to be appropriate for this use. i have found several packages in debian in the past (some may or may not be fixed now) that install files writable to group=root. this violates debian policy. also i have found 22 nodes in /dev that are read/writable by group root but not accessable at all by normal users. rather then spam the list you can run the following command to see for yourself: find /dev -group root \( -perm +0040 -o -perm +0020 \) ! -type l ! -perm +0007 -ls i don't know for sure what all these nodes are for but many of them i don't like the idea of having read/write access full time under my normal user account. part of the purpose for running as a non-root user is to minimize the damage a bogus/trojan program can do if it is somehow run. instead of trying to remake GNU/Linux into BSD in regards to gid 0 i instead create a real group wheel (gid 100something) and use that to enforce the wheel group with pam_wheel, i also chgrp some config files that i want readable to wheel members but not everyone. this is safer and is the path of least resistence. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/ pgpfwS9zw6B5H.pgp Description: PGP signature

A Good word for GNOME
Since I griped about GNOME earlier, I thought I'd put in a good word for the more recent versions on potato. It now seems to be tracking sessions much better. I can delete windows and they stay deleted whenn I log on (before I had about 6 xman windows). Also, the windows stay in the correct page (not sure of the lingo--the different virtual screens) between sessions, instead of all huddling up into the initial one. I also don't know if I should thank the Debian packagers or the GNOME team for these improvements, but, anyway, thank.
please help test debian frozen
[ This is not an official announcement of the Debian project, just a Debian developer speaking up with his personal opinion. ] Debian is now well into its second test cycle for the potato (2.2) release of Debian. Now is an excellent time to help us test the distribution. Frozen is quite stable now; we are only making small changes to it every 2 weeks or so, mainly security fixes. As such, it is now almost as stable as stable. And of course, it is much more up-to-date, with many enhancements, additions, and bugfixes. At this point, in my opinion, there is no reason to use Debian stable except for absolutely mission critical applications. For exerything else, frozen is a great choice. (Put stable on your mars lander; use frozen in mission control ;-). So I'm writing to encourage people to upgrade to frozen, and if you can, do new installs with frozen. Every report we receive of another clean upgrade/install makes us that much more likely to release soon. So if you upgrade or install frozen, post a report to the mailing list debian-testing@lists.debian.org. Describe how you upgraded or installed. If everything went perfectly, say so; If there were some problems, do your best to describe them, and any relevant information about your system. Release notes for potato are here: http://www.debian.org/releases/potato/ For fresh installs, an install guide is here: http://www.debian.org/releases/potato/i386/install For upgrades: http://www.debian.org/releases/potato/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html CD images are here: http://cdimage.debian.org/potato_pre.html Thanks! -- see shy jo
windows workaround
I'm using rsync to get Debian which is causing a problem because I'm running Win98 (I have to, I have one of those anoying soft-modems) so my connection to my ISP is set up under Windows. Rsync, on the other hand, runs in DOS so Windows doesn't know that there is active trafic and tries to disconnect from the ISP. Does anyone know how to turn this off? I've been surfing the web to keep the connection up and would really like to stop. Thanks, Andy
samba config question
I have samba setup on my potato box, and I mounted an partition for sharing. I can read/write files fine, but when I try to copy dirs win-linux i get the following prompt: - You may not be able to access files created in the folder \\[computer]\[dir]\ Do you want to continue? - is there any options in smb.conf to alleviate this problem? james
MOSIX under Debian
Hi people, Does anybody installed a MOSIX cluster over Debian? MOSIX people just used it in SuSE and RedHat: as a Debianist I am, I'd like to know if you have found any differences or trouble when you installed it into Debian. Thank you.

RE: samba config question
You need to set the permissions on the shared directory to allow the user or the world to write to the folder.

RE: samba config question
mm.. I think i tried that and it still gives the problem. linux box: ext2 partition mounted on /share w mode 777. excerpt from smb.conf: - [share] path= /share valid users = camus invalid users = root writeable = yes read only = no browseable = yes hide dot files = no create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 -- Could the error be related to the /share being ext2 with permissions? Everything directory i copy I can see/modify.. james -Original Message- From: Chris Mason [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 17, 2000 9:41 PM To: James Sasitorn; Debian-User Subject: RE: samba config question You need to set the permissions on the shared directory to allow the user or the world to write to the folder.
