En resumen: 1) Instalar las últimas versiones de dpkg y apt (están en ese mismo directorio). 2) Preparar el mount point /cdrom para montar el cd, es decir, crear el directorio y poner una línea en fstab que diga algo así como: /dev/hdc /cdrom autodefaults,noauto,ro 0 0 (cambiar /dev/hdc por el que corresponda al cd). La idea es que el comando mount /cdrom funcione.

e2fsck+raid+linux 2.2.16 = crash?
Today... One of my systems crashed due to SCSI disk errors. when it came back up it crashed again. so i had to go to the site (2 hour drive!@) and took a look at it. it seems when the system tries to run e2fsck on the raid set the system crashes with the message: Jul 14 13:36:30 galactica kernel: VFS: grow_buffers: size = 16384 Jul 14 13:36:31 galactica last message repeated 665 times Jul 14 13:36:31 galactica kernel: 384 Jul 14 13:36:31 galactica kernel: VFS: grow_buffers: size = 16384 Jul 14 13:36:31 galactica last message repeated 814 times Jul 14 13:36:31 galactica kernel: 384 Jul 14 13:36:31 galactica kernel: VFS: grow_buffers: size = 16384 Jul 14 13:36:31 galactica last message repeated 468 times it goes on and on and on..(the people on site left it in that state for a good hour and a half until i got there) This did not happen with 2.2.15. This is also the first time i have run e2fsck on the raid drive since upgrading to 2.2.16. As a result i have been forced to mount the raid array unclean just so i could get the system up and running so the rest of the staff at the site could go home(its co-located). I didn't think to reboot to 2.2.15 and run e2fsck on it before i left i was in a real rush.

I think what i will do is download the data off the raid set, and reformat it so it can be clean again. or reboot to 2.2.15 and run e2fsck on it.. i can try to provide more info if needed, let me know, i just dont want to have to drive up there again if i can avoid it:) help! nate ::: http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3:24pm up 1:30, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.00

Network won't come up
Something has happened to my ethernet connection. I use a Kingston KNE100TX, which uses the tulip driver. The driver looks like it configures OK from the dmesg output, but ifconfig won't activate it. The /etc/init.d/networks file looks ok, and indeed ifconfig -a shows all the right configuration, but ifconfig without the -a doesn't list eth0, which I guess means that eth0 is down. When I try ifconfig eth0 up, it responds SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable. So what's that? It doesn't seem very temporary--I can't ever get it to work!

Re: kerneld message / Workaround
David Wright wrote:
The scripts /etc/init.d/{kerneld,modutils} have to be able to handle

only exists under 2.2.
Perhaps you have a problem with your /proc filesystem (unless a bug
has been introduced into these scripts). There should be no need to
move/remove the scripts in /etc/init.d.
Well if there is such a bug it's been there since potato day1 and still
is. Incidentally, does the presence of /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe not
depend on what you compile in the kernel??? I always roll my own and
any time I've installed potato with a 2.2 kernel I've had to shift
kerneld. Maybe if you stick with Debians own kernels it might be there
but not everyone does.
And what about 2.4test kernels (that I'm running) ? I don't have a
/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe - what should I do? How do the magic
scripts in /etc/init.d deal with that

I cannot get JunkBuster to work
I have JunkBuster installed on Potato and it is running as a daemon but it won't filter anything. I also have Woffle running on port 8080 and that is specified as the proxy server in Netscape. I understand that to get JunkBuster to work as well I need to make appropriate entries in the JunkBuster forward file. I havn't specified a specific listening address and I don't understand a word of the instructions for the forward file. The examples given don't seem appropriate to my case.

Re: how do i get sound working?
Another thing that may help is to install the pciutils package (if you haven't already), and run the lspci command. That should give additional info on what Linux is recognizing as far as your sound card is concerned, as well as all your other PCI devices. I have an older version of the PCI64 card, and get this from 'lspci -v' 00:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1370 [AudioPCI] Subsystem: Unknown device 4942:4c4c Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 9 I/O ports at 6800 As mentioned in the other post, PCI cards don't require you to specify I/O, IRQ etc. In the kernel configuration, you usually just need to enable sound support in general, and then select the correct driver for your card. Mine is ES1370, although yours is probably ES1371. I compiled my sound support directly into the kernel. The other option is to compile it as modules. As an example, here is the sound portion of my kernel config (kernel version 2.2.16): # Sound # CONFIG_SOUND=y # CONFIG_SOUND_CMPCI is not set CONFIG_SOUND_ES1370=y # CONFIG_SOUND_ES1370_JOYPORT_BOOT is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_ES1371 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_MAESTRO is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_ESSSOLO1 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_ICH is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_SONICVIBES is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_TRIDENT is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_MSNDCLAS is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_MSNDPIN is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_OSS is not set Tom Bob wrote: alright i've read the sound-how-to but it didn't help me. my sound card is a Creative Labs Audio PCI 64V. im not sure what sound driver i should be using or how to set the irq, I/o port, and DMA settings... running pnpdump does nothing.

Potato includes the new version of Lilo, so the 1024 cylinder issue is no longer a problem. I strongly suggest reading the Debian install intructions found at the link below. Those instructions include a good section on partitioning. http://www.debian.org/releases/frozen/i386/install Here's a few other points and suggestions that may help: 1) Linux uses it's own file system, so you will have to create Linux partitions for it. Linux partitions don't get drive letters assigned to them, and Win95 will not recognize them. 2) There is no need to remove Win95 in order to install Linux as long as you have enough room. You might be a little tight, but .75 GB should be enough room for a swap partition and a root partition big enough to hold a decent Linux installation. 3) If you don't need your D drive for anything, the most straight forward approach would be to delete that partition, and then use the newly created unpartitioned space to create Linux partitions. I would also suggest deleting the extended partition that contains drive D, and create your Linux partitions as primary partitions. Linux can run from extended/logical partitions, but primaries are generally simpler to deal with. I don't see a need for an extended partition on that small of a drive. That's a personal preference however. 4) You can use Win95's fdisk to delete drive D and the extended partition, and then create and format the Linux partitions during the Debian install process. In general, Linux requires a minimum of two partitions: The main (root) partition and a swap partition, although the swap partition, strictly speaking, is not required.

If I change the port number from 8080 in netscape to 8000 then junkbuster does work but, of course, wwwoffle doesn't. I realise that the web pages are going to have to either be cached by wwwoffle and passed through junkbuster to netscape or processed first by junkbuster then passed on to wwwoffle for caching and thence to netscape. My level of understanding of this particular process is that if I put 'localhost' in one box and '8080' in another then wwwoffle caches my web pages for me. I would like to continue using woffle and to use junkbuster in addition but the instructions are going to have to be of the 'put this here' and 'put that there' type I'm afraid. Thanks for the reply.

Re: apt-get problems
OK, everybody, remain calm. *If* you have space somewhere other than
var, then just tell apt to use that area. Here's my /etc/apt/apt.conf:
Dir {
Cache /usr/var/apt;
};
DSelect::Clean auto;
/ Pre-configure all packages before they are installed.
// Pre-configure all packages before they are installed.
// (Automatically added by debconf.)
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt;};
The second line resets the cache location.
As I recall, I did this after I had used apt a bit, and there were
some transitional problems (either some additional settings somewhere
or some files that needed to have paths edited), but it's all working
fine. My /usr/var/apt is 430Mg.
Agreed that the default installation and documentation is an
invitation to trouble.

Looks suspiciously as if you're out of memory. Not unlikely when trying

Swap?
It's not exactly the same thing, but I'd like to give you a warn (I
know, I know, I sould signal it as a bug... I'll do). In the In the
Installing Debian/Linux 2.1 for Intel x86 document they say, about
partitioning (section 4.2. Planing the use of the System):
[...] Notably, the Debian '/var' partition contains a lot of state
information. [...], you should usually allocate at least 50Mb for
/var.
Well, I did it. I even allocated 128Mb, just to be on the sure
side. But during istallation it crashed. Infact, apt uses a
subdirectory of /var to put packages dowloaded but not yet installed
and at installation time you need a lot of packages.
Then it seems to me that there are only two alternatives:
make an huge /var partition, knowing that there will be a lot of
unused space after your installation is complete, or
don't make a partition neither of /var nor /usr, make a huge /
partition and let the system use the space as it needs.

I want to write cds with my drive, so I removed IDE/ATAPI cd support from kernel, and compiled scsi emulation instead. Now I can write cds, but I can't mount any. If I try: 'mount /dev/hdc /cdrom' I get: /dev/cdrom: Input/output error mount: you must specify the filesystem type Using 'mount /dev/hdc -t iso9660 /cdrom' gives me: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file systems Using 'mount /dev/scd0 -t iso9660 /cdrom' gives me: mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/scd0 as a block device (maybe `insmod driver'?) When I used RedHat 6.1 with 2.2.5 kernel, I managed to read and write cds using scsi emulation. In RedHat my cdrom drive was in /dev/scd0.

PLEASE help me with apache package
I've installed Apache 1.3.9-13.1 (from frozen) I can access the default page from my windoze box, but any other page (including the links on the default page) gives the client 403 Forbidden. I've checked and all the directories and files should be world accessible (read, execute world). Why is the debian package configured like this by default? How can I set it up so it works normally ?

esd says unable to bind port 16001
Hello, I installed Helix Gnome on my Potato Debian system. Of course, a lot of the Gnome packages depend on EsounD, so the esound-common and esound packages were installed alongside the Gnome ones. Now, my sound hardware works fine: I have an Opt0924 chipset, and I use the mad16 driver. All the ordinary sound utilities work perfectly (i.e., playmidi, wavp, etc.). But I can't get the Enlightened Sound Daemon (esd) to work; whenever I invoke it (without options), I get the following message, Unable to bind port 16001 and then it aborts. What does that mean, and how do I fix it? I am using the latest version (at the time of this writing) for both the esound and esound-common packages: 0.2.18-3, which comes from the Woody distribution. However, the version from Potato (0.2.17-7) exhibited exactly the same behavior. This error is preventing all of the programs that use esd from working properly. Thanks, L.M.

Re: DVD-Rom Drive
Hiya, Well, there are hardware decoder boards( DXR2 and DXR3 ) from creative labs. ( i read something today about DXR3 drivers being available, but double check that before you buy anything ) latest model: http://americas.creative.com/pc-dvd/encore-6x/ Also check out http://opensource.creative.com, a couple interesting things. Free software decoders are probabably a ways off, because of the current court battle over whether it is legal to reverse engineer the encryption scheme. This was sparked because of the development of a program (DeCSS) released under the GPL that did just that. The UNIX code is called css-auth-(version).tar.gz, but the legally tenuous position of this software makes it impossible for Debian ( or any other distro ) to carry at this point. However, there are some proprietary products being worked on ( they must use the licensed encryption/decryption algorithm to avoid being prosecuted, and this makes their software non-free AND requires certain royalties, making it very very unlikely that anyone will release an authorized player for no charge ). http://www.opendvd.org has more info on this.

IRQ conflict with soundcard
Hello all, Im trying to get the soundcard to install. Im using kernel 2.2.16 and am installing a SoundBlaster 16. I have enabled the options in the kernel and selested them as modules. I cat /proc/interrupts and it shows the sound card on irq 7. Then I want to the isapnp.conf and remove the # from in front of irq 7. Then I ran isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf and it came back with no errors. I then tried to reboot and then I see: soundBlaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 SB 4.13 detected OK (220) -- sb: Interrupt test on IRQ7 failed - Probable IRQ conflict. So then I ran the cat /proc/interrupts and I didnt see any conflicts. What am I missing here. I tried the mail archives and HOWTO but was unable to find anything really usefull.

Re: I cannot get JunkBuster to work

Re: Adding sound card ?
If it is the old non-pnp card, I have the same one. In menuconfig, select Sound, OSS Sound modules, 100% Sound Blaster compatibles. This is for 2.2.16. I think the menu selections were a bit different for some earlier kernels. If you select Y, you will see where to enter the parameters. If you select M you need to specify the parameters when you install the module. The defaults worked for me. I've always ran it built into the kernel. I haven't tried sound as a module, but that should work also.

Good way to keep kde2 up to date?
Greetings, I recently installed kde2, from the debs found with apt-get. I would like to keep up to date with the development snapshots as they come out, as many bugs get fixed in each one. I am curious if any other debian users have a method they use to do this that avoids totally screwing up dpkg, etc? Do you you CVS, or what exactly? Or do you just wait for the debs to slowly trickle down? I would be most interested in what others are doing to keep on the cutting edge of things, as far as KDE2 goes. Regards, Todd

Re: sound still not working
The zImage, bzImage issue is probably because zImage doesn't contain enough compression to fit the kernel into the required size properly - hence why bzImage was formed - bz compression is much more effective than z compression. The dmesg line is because the cat /proc/pci command has been replaced by something else which I can never remember, but still works for backwards compatibility - so don't worry about that message. To the main issue.. do you have in /etc/modules: soundcore es1370 In my /etc/modules I have soundcore and es1371 (because my card specifically said es1371). I'm not sure whether that is necessary, I'm just grasping at straws... It was a while ago I set mine up. Cheers, Corey J.

Helix Code Packages
Greetings! I have a debian system running woody, and tried to load up the HelixCode using their installer. Everything seemed to work okay, but even though I selected the full install, many packages were not installed (such as the 1.1.24 gimp, etc.) When I did an apt-get update, apt-get upgrade. It said there were no updated packages, and when I tried apt-get install gimp, or searched for the packages in dselect they did not appear. Here is the confusing part - once I had dselect update, the packages appeared, and I could install them. Is there something I don't know about apt-get update? I assumed it would have updated the package list. Am I doing something wrong? tim
