smbmount
Hi i have installed samba-2.0.5a-1.deb and it does not contain either smbclient or smbmount. the debian search-contents feature on the debian home page has indicated that smbmount is in the "otherosfs/smbfs" which i presume is the module smbfs which i have installed under modconf/fs. but i cannot find it through updatedb/locate so how can i install smbclient/smbmount? Thanx Zane

Yep, that Clark 1866 model works pretty good for the Americas. Just curious, how is an oblate spheroid different from an ellipsoid? Does it account for the differential flattening between the northern and southern hemispheres? Or does it just not satisfy the equation for an ellipse rotated about its minor axis?

Re: lobotamy via HD swap
I did that recently, when upgrading to a new motherboard. Assuming that the new machine has compatible hardware (i.e. that your kernel was compiled with all the necessary support included) it should work just fine. If you're configured to boot directly into X via xdm (or whatever), you may want to disable that first... especially if you aren't keeping the original monitor and/or video card.

Looking upon the earth as flat is a fine assumption if you're working on a small scale. And yes, it's rather popular to think of the earth as (approximately) round these days, but we may not always do so. It's entirely a matter of which simplifications we see as most important. (This is getting *really* off-thread..) At a smaller scale, when you're not dealing with the current lack of "official" IP adresses, sorting the IP addresses into "classes" is a damn fine way of avoiding chaos. And when you don't want to follow these rules strictly, you can revolve around them. I've spent too much time thinking rules are dumb, spending my resources wading in chaos. Yes, rules are dumb if you follow blindly, but we don't have any "infinite amount of genius" to take from and patterns are fine for orientation.

MySQL and DBI
I'm having a problem opening the data source of the MySQL server. The set up of my servers are as follows: 1. My remote server is a Unix Apache and is with an ISP. I've installed/unzipped the Data-Dumper, DBI, MSQL-MySQL Module and the CGI.pm into a folder just off the root. I named the folder DBI. 2. However, the MySQL server with the same ISP is on a separate Unix server. 3. I have a client I downloaded onto my computer from the Artronic.com web site which I use to connect to the MySQL server. With this client, I can create tables, run queries and other administrative things. It's a good client, but is still going through further development. I believe that the script that I have so far needs only a little tweaking to properly code the data source. I've tried several different configurations to make this script work, but it's not happening. HELP!!! I've been working on it for three days now. I'm desparate. Please give me a quotation for your assistance and let me know if you accept credit cards. I think either a telephone or private on-line chat session would suffice. Jim Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How to print? (Xerox DocuPrint C15)
Hi, (please, Cc: the answer to me as I'm not on the list) just got this new brand printer, and I'm trying to get something printed with it, but never configured a printer before now. The printer is recognized, as advertised by the relevant parts of dmesg: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2] parport0: detected irq 7; use procfs to enable interrupt-driven operation. parport0: Printer, Xerox DocuPrint C15 lp0: using parport0 (polling). I had lpr installed, and have just installed several other programs (Aladdin Ghostscript). Then went to read the relevant howtos, but I can't see it clear enough. I've tried to print a postscript file from 'gv', and also tried a simpler 'man man | col -b | lpr', but all I get is those jobs in the spool: $ lpq waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?) Rank Owner Job Files Total Size 1sthoracio2/home/horacio/tmp/phakic.ps 496596 bytes 2ndhoracio5(standard input) 23645 bytes and the status is: $ lpc status lp: queuing is enabled printing is enabled 2 entries in spool area waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?) Ok, so there must be something I haven't done... sure, I haven't set the environment variable in .profile. According to the howtos this should be set as: PRINTER="printer_name"; export PRINTER Ah, but what's printer_name? Is it perhaps that I have to make a symlink in /dev/ to /dev/lp0 (say, /dev/xerox -> /dev/lp0), and then: PRINTER="xerox"; export PRINTER or? Also, I didn't apply any changes to /etc/printcap, so the only uncommented lines are: lp|Generic dot-matrix printer entry:\ :lp=/dev/lp1:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :df=/etc/filter.ps:\ :tf=/etc/filter.pcl:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:\ :lf=/var/log/lp-errs:\ :pl#66:\ :pw#80:\ :pc#150:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: should I then change "Generic" by "xerox"? And how about the "dot-matrix" stuff? My printer is a deskjet!

Printer failure
My printer has suddenly stopped working and I'm not having any luck determining the cause... I recently upgraded lprng from 3.6.2-2 to 3.6.12-6 and just made my first attempt to print after the upgrade. It fails silently and lpq just shows a message of the form Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'Epson Stylus Color 400' Queue: no printable jobs in queue Status: removing job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' - ABORT at 12:05:41.092 Thinking it might be an incompatibility between the two versions of lprng, I reinstalled the old deb. Didn't work, but at least the older version provided a little information instead of failing silently: Status Information: sending job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1 connected to 'localhost' requesting printer [EMAIL PROTECTED] error 'LINK_TRANSFER_FAIL' sending str '^Blp' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' transfer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed /var/log/syslog shows only that localhost is trying to connect to the printer. /var/log/lpr.log is completely empty. I've also double-checked that the parallel cable is secure and power-cycled the printer. Does this look more like a hardware or a software/configuration problem? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

chrony and local time
I recently installed chrony, but it seems to be setting my clock to GMT rather than local time, i.e. it's one hour late compared to UK's current time. My Linux was installed with the hardware clock set to local time, because it shares the machine with Windows. How do I tell chrony about this? Marcin

Debian + other distribution
Debianers, I have a HD 10.2 with win95 at the begin (first 1500MB) and another Linux dist. on a partition of 3000MB. (The distribution is Conectiva Linux, similar to RedHat). I want to install Debian 2.2 on another partition without remove neither win nor my other dist. How should I proceed to do this? Obs.: My computer has the limit of the 1024 cilinders and I want to know where is this limits in megabytes and how to deal with this problem if the Debian partition be created over the 1024 cilinders? Maybe I'll remove win95 from my computer ( if my family accept). Will this revolution (yeah!!) help me to install two Linux distributions on the same HD? And more, I have a /boot partition of 16MB to boot my Conectiva Linux. (said that because it can be an important information.) Thanks, Ricardo Gabriel Herdt

Hi David, kernel-package greatly simplifies the process of compiling a kernel. You just configure the kernel, call make-kpkg, that builds a Debian-package with the new kernel-image. After that you just install that package with $ dpkg -i kernel-image-2.2.16_???.deb and all is fine. I have found that a lot of the errors people have with compiling and installing the kernel disappear if they use make-kpkg. make-kpkg might be the second most useful debian tool besides apt-get ;-) bye -- ____ Frank Barknecht __ __ trip\ \ / /wire __ / __// __ /__/ __// // __ \ \/ / __ \\ ___\ / / / / / / / // // /\ \\ ___\\ \ /_/ /_/ /_/ /_//_// / \ \\_\\_\ /_/\_\

Hi, I run a (almost) pure potato distrib with 2.2.17 kernel. Problem is, I have a Intel740 graphic card and a 17" monitor as standard output device. But I also have a S3 card a 15" monitor from an old PC which died sometimes ago. I would like to set up all this things such that I have a dual monitor setup. I understand that XFree 4 does the thing, but I would like to stick to stable things. Looking at the documentation, it seems to me that it should be possible to start two X servers, one by XFREE86_SVGA :0 (the standard monitor) and one by XFREE86_S3 :1, then use x2x to link the dislpays. This brings up some more questions that I could nmot answer by looking at the doc: 1. I suppose I must add a Device section to the XF86Config file, but how I specify which card is which? 2. at startup XFREE86_SVGA :0 is automagicaly launched on pseudoterminal 7, so there is some script file that do that. I suppose I should change it, but... where it is? Thaks a lot. -- The Hobbit ICQ # 56656060
Re: ethernet card
Do cat /proc/pci , and see exactly what it says about the type of ethernet card you have. Then goto a Ethernet-HOWTO or a hardware list in relation to Debian and you will get more of an idea as to what is required. Or install PCIUTILS, which will also give you further information on your PCI devices. http://www.ind.mh.se/linuxdoc/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.html is one such place with this sort of information.

First:
The 10.x.x.x network range is, due to standard ip ranges, class A.
You have used a subnet mask to divide it into 2^16 sub-ip-ranges, using
four of them.
So a simple solution might be (i've not actually done this) to treat it
like the class A network it actually is.
This requires reconfiguration of the windows machines however. (Or
multiple broadcast adresses, if possible.)
The free adress ranges for class C networks are 192.168.y.x , y=0..255.
(256 class C networks.)

I still believe IP aliasing should be done with eth0:0, eth0:1, eth0:2,
eth0:3 instead of eth0, eth0:0, eth0:1, eth0:2.
The documentation says nothing about the latter, as far as I know.
The non-IP-aliasing method of eth0 and the IP-aliasing method of eth0:0
may be mutually exclusive, or eth0 may be an alias for eth0:0 when kernel
IP aliasing is turned on.

This is in order to reduce netbios socializing, I guess. ("Hello! Here I
am! Does anybody hear me?". Does a huge amount of traffic on large
networks). Netbios isn't meant for larger networks and
wondiws doesn't support the tcp/ip-tools (for example) out of the box.
They should probably have used a WINS server instead. It centralizes the
netbios socializing and keeps it down.
Making clients have to listen to several ip ranges is downright idiotic
if you ask me, but you are in a "windows network" so who should expect
any less. (Apply the old joke: "How many microsoft engineers do you
need to change a light bulb? None. They just define darkness as a new
standard.")

Cannot echo capital M
Guys, I am facing a rather strange problem. I am unable to echo the character "M" on my bash prompt. I am able to get M by perl -e 'print chr(77);' I am even able to put it in an email. Note the "M" right here. But at the bash prompt, I just don't get any M. Most important, other users on this system, like root and all others, are having no problems at all Please help. PAI
Re: Combining 4 C-class networks: how?

[...] In short, run these four commands as root on your Linux box: route add -net 10.129.206.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0 route add -net 10.129.207.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0 route add -net 10.129.208.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0 route add -net 10.129.209.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0 This alters your routing table to tell the kernel that those four IP networks are on the same physical network card. Keep in mind, though that the Win9x machines need the same done to them if they are to see your system. Do these four networks all use at the same router to get access to the outside world? It would make things a lot easier if you can get your sysadmin to make these changes to the router's routing tables to get this to work. -- -- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
