Re: Routing Problem
Weird. Yah! :) Firstly, can you ping hosts out on the 192.168.0. network? Yes, there is a computer at 192.168.0.16 that i am able to ping. Is your cabling okay? It appears so. The gateway computer (the one with the ping problem) actually gets its ip address for eth0 (192.168.1.12 for the time being) from a dhcp server on the school network ( 192.168.1.5 , aka the computer i am trying to ping). are you using a crossover UTP or BNC or a hub/switch? Do they work? I was using a crossover UTP (UTP- thats standard rj45 cat5 cable, right?). Just to make sure, though, i tried with a couple regular cat5s, and a switch, but still no luck. (same error as before). The only other thing i could possibly think of is that the ipfirewalling stuff is getting in the way of sending packets?

lpr|lprng apsfilter deskjet 400
This used to work. I became annoyed that the listing header was printed as Printed by from instead of Printed by $USER from $HOSTNAME. Discussing it on apsfilter.org, the solution appeared to be replace lpr with lprNG. lpr + apsfilter + a2ps was failing on perms in parsing the lpd lock file. After replacing lpr with lprNG, I get banner only; no listing. The listing header still reads Printed by from, and the listing date has reverted to Dec 31 1969 17:00. Yoiks! Right now, I'm tempted to go back to lpr, though I've no idea if that will improve anything. This is a stand-alone slink laptop; I've no need for advanced features, just listings. I've /etc/init.d/lprng restart'ed to reread my /etc/printcap, and still nothing (but banner). The printer is a deskjet 400, and I've told apsfilter to use it as it was used before.

still-extant potato boot problems (kmod/runany modprobe loop)
Are there any fixes (or even diagnoses) yet for the following problem? Has anyone else even seen these symptoms? Earlier I reported a problem with installing potato (from scratch) and getting errors at boot time like: kmod: runaway modprobe loop assumed and stopped and many occurrences of: modprobe: modprobe: Can't open dependencies files /lib/modules/2.2.17/modules.dep (No such file or directory) (Note that those errors were from booting the installation boot diskettes (rescue.bin/root.bit). Specifically, it was from before I had a chance to make any choices or affect anything.) I thought I'd try getting to potato by upgrading (a clone of) my slink system. The upgrade went pretty well (well, I accidentally upgraded the original instead of the clone, but the clone seems to be working fine) until I installed the 2.2.17 kernel and rebooted. Those boot-time errors returned. I also started getting a bunch of other errors, such as: - modprobe: Can't locate module xxx (at bootup; for roughly half of the modules) - start ppp0: SIOCSIFMETRIC: Operation not supported (asynchonously, after something had triggered diald) - Use of setserial/setrocket to set SPD_* flags is deprecated (asynchonously) - something like xmit when interface down (asynchonously) - (I can't even ping the other end of my diald's PPP connection (I used the numeric IP address logged by pppd when it connected).) Are there any known hardware dependencies that could affect this (especially when just booted of the installation diskettes)?

beeping keypad in Eterm
Hi. I'm running woody, with Eterm v. 0.8.7 . Eterm doesn't seem to recognize keypad characters correctly (xterm doesn't have this problem); it just beeps at me, confused and frustrated. This causes me grave anguish, exquisite agony, relentless torment, and soul-wrenching dissapointment. I am forlorn, comfortless, desolate, discontent [1]. I've noticed that after I start AND exit vim (or nvi or elvis or 'emacs -nw'), the keypad behaves fine in that particular Eterm instance for the rest of its life. (tapping the keypad within vim produces odd behavior [2], even if i start, exit, and restart vim). Any ideas? Thanks :) Aaron.

gnome-terminal
I'm using woody + helixcode GNOME. Does the gnome-terminal currently have no way to read and use X resource files?

retrieving usable kernel source
I've tried several ways to get the kernel source, but I've been unsuccessful so far. I've tried using apt-get for a few of the kernel-source packages, and also ftping from kernel.org, and every time I untar them (or bzip2), it quits early, saying there are around 300 bytes of garbage at the end. Some of the directories end up missing, so I try again. The Debian packaged ones are .bz2 files, and so are some at kernel.org, but I've tried good old .tar.gz files from kernel.org, too. The other problem is when I think I have everything (from kernel.org especially), and make says is has no rule for arch/i386... Unless arch is a directory that didn't get created from the first problem, why would a needed rule not exist? So, what is the proper way to get and unpack the kernel source?

...hangs at freeing memory, can't boot....
(help...!) I'm trying to move (copy) my existing 'potato' system to a new hard drive in a -different- box. Working box: Compaq Presario 992 w/ P-120 chip No-work box: Compaq Presario 4660 with PII-MMX-300 (PIIX4, kernel says; also says not 100% native mode, will poll for irqs later...?) With every approach I've tried (and I've tried a bunch this past week), the best that ever happens is we arrive at the Freeing kernel memory line during boot -- and halt right there, with no notification of error or anything. Things I'm suspicious of: - when given a boot floppy (made using superformat), machine reads that floppy haltingly -- reads a few chunks, then pauses, then reads a few more, etc., taking perhaps a full minute to read what's there, finally succeeds, but what the heck is that about...? - machine is BM-DMA; any problem there...? - CMOS says two elements are being shadowed in RAM; no option visible anywhere to turn this off, apparently -- machine expected to be owned by Windoze, has PNP options in CMOS; - machine once had 64 megs RAM but presently has 32; tried RAM 'stick' in each slot, didn't help or hurt. (Could machine expect to be 'shadowing' somewhere in the missing 32 megs...? Surely not...?) Thanks kindly, -- -- Jeff -- http://www.wellnow.com There's nothing left in the world to prove.

Some of the directories end up missing, so I try again. The Debian packaged ones are .bz2 files, and so are some at kernel.org, but I've tried good old .tar.gz files from kernel.org, too. I can't imagine what the problem is here. Somehow I doubt all those versions are bad.

Unless arch is a directory that didn't get created from the first problem, why would a needed rule not exist? Probably you haven't configured the kernel yet. Are you aware that you need several things to compile a kernel? Seems you've never done this before (that's okay). I'd suggest using the debian kernel-package to build them.

Missing modules.dep in root boot up floppy disk (Potato)
Hello, I'm trying to install debian (Potato) in an old PC using floppy disks (I'm using disk images version 2.2.16-2000-07-14). The PC boots up from the rescue disk, I hit return to proceed and after a few messages I'm asked to enter the root diskette. The PC reads this diskette and then enters the installation menus as expected. The problem is that while reading the root diskette I see a bunch of messages saying modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.2.17/modules.dep (no such file or directory) Back in the installation menus I want to mount from an NFS directory where the base system is available but for this I need the network drivers. If I choose the option Configure Device Driver Modules I get the error message (I press alt-F3 to see it) configured modules; modconf returned 32512 So, how are the system modules supposed to be loaded during the installation process? Thank you, -- Pedro

Apache -- SSL and normal on same system?
I've been running Apache successfully for a long time, and would like to add a secured virtual site to my collection. I tried installing Debian apache-ssl but ran into a brick wall figuring out how to make it work both for normal http on port 80, and https on port whatever. Could some kind soul give me a pointer on how to set this up. All the documentation I've found for apache-ssl seems to assume that you're going to run only a secure site, and not a mix. (By the way -- I know that in an e-commerce setting you'd want the secure server to be on a separate box.

Re: still-extant potato boot problems (kmod/runany modprobe loop)
Earlier I reported a problem with installing potato (from scratch) and getting errors at boot time like: kmod: runaway modprobe loop assumed and stopped and many occurrences of: modprobe: modprobe: Can't open dependencies files /lib/modules/2.2.17/modules.dep (No such file or directory) If you are only seeing this on startup and it doesn't affect the rest of ths instal then please ignore the message. This is an unfortunate result of unix.o not being compiled into the default kernel, and unless Herbert somehow manages to get unix.o to fit we can't do much about it. I thought I'd try getting to potato by upgrading (a clone of) my slink system. The upgrade went pretty well (well, I accidentally upgraded the original instead of the clone, but the clone seems to be working fine) until I installed the 2.2.17 kernel and rebooted. Those boot-time errors returned. hm... you might get the modprobe runaway message but you really shouldn't see the Can't open dependencies file message -- do you really not have that file on your system? I also started getting a bunch of other errors, such as: - modprobe: Can't locate module xxx (at bootup; for roughly half of the modules) Please show us the output of uname -a and ls -R /lib/modules/$(uname -r) - start ppp0: SIOCSIFMETRIC: Operation not supported (asynchonously, after something had triggered diald) might want to file a but against ppp about this. - Use of setserial/setrocket to set SPD_* flags is deprecated (asynchonously) - something like xmit when interface down (asynchonously) dunno about that one :( - (I can't even ping the other end of my diald's PPP connection (I used the numeric IP address logged by pppd when it connected).) dunno about this one either.

A possible problem with x-terminal-emulator?
A few days ago I reported here that I have a problem with text apps (top, mc, pstree and such) that are being launched in X using the menu system (that is, with something like apps-System-Top). To be more specific, it appeared that the X terminal that these apps are using does not read the xterm* resources I have in ~/.Xresources. I also claimed that this problem is new. Can it be that this problem is due to the use of x-terminal-emulator?

Somebody knows why .Xmodmap is not loaded?
I just changed LC_CTYPE to proper locale coding, and my HOME/.Xmodmap is not being loaded any more. Maybe it is, but I don't get any more my keyboard mapping like it was. Does LC_CTYPE changes the keyboard mapping and how I can prevent that? I use keyboard which is not set up for that locale I use, but I do write with this keyboard foreign languages, because I changed mapping of keys in .Xmodmap.

startup error messages
I get some ugly error-messages when I start my potato install. I get a few
of these:
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
and then it ends with:
hda: DMA disabled

but after that I see no more of this at all, everything seems works fine.

was just my hd that didn't support DMA, so I recompiled my kernel with

0x10 error; the /home of a MDK to appear magically in the /ect/fstab of a Debian ?
Allo, CONTEXT I work with a Debian which takes half the partitions of a disk, and my daughters surf along with a Mandrake that takes the other half of the partitions on the same disk. I boot normally from hard drive with /dev/sda2 mounted as /. They were, up to a few days ago, booting from floppy with /dev/sda1 mounted as /. We shared some partitions, that is : /dev/sda3-ext2 mounted as /espace on that same hard disk, and /dev/sdb2-ext2 mounted as /ziplinux and /dev/sdb4-fat mounted as /zipdos on a zip drive. I recently transfered a lot of stuff between our respective partitions using those shared partitions. I have also copied a lot on floppies. At one point, the Mandrake requested fsck on the zip and maybe other partitions, and I answered yes to all question asked by this utility program. I dont know if it is related, but I cannot boot the Mandrake from the floppy no more. At boot, just after loading of the linux label or rescue label, I get an 0x10 error message (I have also seen 0x80 at one point. QUESTIONS Question 1 : is it fatal ? Question 2 : What matters most are the documents of my daughters. How then can I have the partition /dev/sda11 which is the /home of their Mandrake distrib appear magically in the /etc/fstab of my Debian ? Question 3 : If I reinstall either my Debian or their Mandrake, can I still recover my old or their old /home, /usr/local... ? Thanks for your precisious help. At this point, I feel broken because I can't find a solution in my readings and I am wearing out. Alain

I'm now running the 'woody' version of Postgresql, and on my setup
this is fixed by setting
PGDEBUG=0
(or, for that matter, PGDEBUG=anything).
If PGDEBUG or PGECHO are set the Postmaster's output is redirected
to a log file, whereas if they aren't then the output is not so
redirected, presumably in the mistaken belief that if you don't
set those options then no output is produced.
The offending code is in /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/postgresql-startup,
which on my system includes this chunk starting at line 232:
# Ready to go: stand clear...

Re: Apache -- SSL and normal on same system?
On Sun, Aug 13, 2000 at 09:19:20AM -0300, John Ackermann wrote: I've been running Apache successfully for a long time, and would like to add a secured virtual site to my collection. I tried installing Debian apache-ssl but ran into a brick wall figuring out how to make it work both for normal http on port 80, and https on port whatever. Could some kind soul give me a pointer on how to set this up. All the documentation I've found for apache-ssl seems to assume that you're going to run only a secure site, and not a mix. Run apache (regular) on port 80 and apache-ssl on 443. I've got my box at work set up like this. Just roll out the packages and start flying. Nothing tricky. If you get stuck, post back to the list (and maybe ping me on the side). (By the way -- I know that in an e-commerce setting you'd want the secure server to be on a separate box. I'm not doing anything nearly that critical, so don't mind the risk of having both secure and unsecure servers running on the same machine.) Not necessarily, AFAIK [1]. Regular-mode apache and apache-ssl don't share address space, and if configured properly, are working from different document roots. The risk is about the same as having multiple accounts on the same system. Apache is pretty bulletproof -- there aren't a whole mess of security problems associated with it (security tends to be compromised through CGIs instead). Here's a different analogy: apache and apache-ssl are like having telnet and ssh on the same box. The fact that telnet is inherently insecure in terms of data and session *doesn't* mean that ssh is insecure, *so long as* no data are allowed to traverse the telnet channel which would allow a compromise through ssh (eg: userid/password). So if the telnet were configured for unprivileged user access in a chroot jail with very little command functionality (an approximation of a standard http session), the risk is low. Not that I'm advocating use of telnet to anyone. -- Karsten M.

While I could see a departmental file/print/mail server, or a firewall system with reasonable traffic, and possible a limited task workstation or X terminal, based off of a 486, I'd have a really hard time seeing someone using this as a full locally-homed GUI workstation. Actually, a 486 is surprisingly capable. I manage a small switched fast ethernet network of debian machines, consisting of a fast application server/workstation machine (Athlon 800) and a 3 486's and low end pentiums as X stations (with 'X --query fooserver'). With the switched network the performance is incredible and is nearly transparent to the user. Also, my site (http://isomerica.net) performs quite a few tasks including mail server, web server, mysql server, stereo :), and more i can't think of at the moment. This machine is only a pentium 133. Goes to show that linux can surely save an old machine from the dump. This I could believe. The problem with a fully homed workstation is that the combination of typically desired userland apps and support tend to pig out anything with less than 48-64 MB RAM, and performance may benefit from 128+ with sufficient memory intensive apps. Eg: Gnome, Netscape, StarOffice, etc. Running the station as an X terminal is very believeable. Have you considered VNC by any chance? -- Karsten M.

But I'm not subscribed and I keep getting 404's when I try to read the August archives so I don't know if that got there.) I reread the upgrade transcript, and found a reference to the change in format of the path statements in modules.conf. Because I had added a line to that file (about the irq and memory address for my network card) the upgrade did not convert that file to the new format and the required modules couldn't be found. Why the reboot failed completely for one kernel but not for another I don't know. But I booted the one that did work, followed the update-modules directions and they now both boot just fine. Some of the messages that fly by during the upgrade are critical, but it's not easy to tell which those are. The release notes said if you're updating from 2.0 or earlier, than do (something about update-modules, that I didn't want to know if I didn't have to). Since I was updating from 2.1, that made me think I didn't have to study update-modules too carefully. That was wishful thinking. The 2.1 was itself an update from 2.0.
