newbie install
Hello. Okay so I'm trying to install Debain 2.1 off of a CD. I installed a new slave drive on my primary IDE, and it is not formatted or partitioned. After booting from the debian CD, I get to the "boot:" prompt. I press enter and it looks like it is scanning my system specs, etc. (compiling the kernal?) After it gets done with my HD's and my cd-rom, I get the error "NCR53c406a: no availble ports found" and that is it. It will not go any further. I searched debian.org and a few how-to's and FAQ's, but no success. So at last, I turn to the debian mailing list. System specs (if it helps) Athlon 800 K7M 128 pc-100 Geforce DDR (agp) Netgear NIC (pci) AWE 64 (isa) IMB 20 gig Cheapy HD 1.6 gig (for linux) floppy cd-rom Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Anyone ever expirence this? Any information will be much appreciated. Thanks, -Shawn

yes it can work...
you'll need to hack the config files some, though which ones depends
on how Mindspring is handling authentication and how the package they
provide is configure.
look at pap-secrets, chap-secrets, options (and if it exists
options,pppoe) under /etc/ppp/. The -secrets files should contain
username password stuff, in the format:
* ""
the options file(s) you probably won't have to touch, but you can turn
on verbose logging there for debuging purposes.
check /var/log/{ppp.log,syslog,messages} to see what pppd has to say.
Yes pppd, it does the "real work" start-pppoe calls a bunch of stuff
that does the right magic to encapsulate the ppp stuff then hands off
to plain old pppd.

The major caveat here is that this will only work for software initiated shutdowns (ie not due to line dropouts, your ISP punting you off the net, etc) and so will not work in all cases where the link can go down.

that's exactly what they do (since oct 6)! I remember telnet xxx 25

Helix-gnome control center problems
For some reason, the gnome control center doesn't want me to configure any sawfish aspects. When I click on any of the sawfish configuration options, the left pane displays nothing, and eventually, the entire app freezes and has to be killed. Another thing I noticed is that the control center often thinks that Enlightenment is the default window manager, even though it is sawfish that is actually running.

GL screen hacks corrupting display
I'm using potato with the /dev/3dfx - Mesa combo for 3D. When I run a GL screen hack like gears or morph3d, it runs accelerated and looks nice. The problem is that when I exit them, the display in X is completely whacked; I can't do anything. So far, I've just been Alt-F1'ing back to a console and hitting Ctrl-C to kill the X server. This activity is confined to xscreensaver running them. When I run them from the command line with no options, I don't get the corrupted display, only when I run them with '- root', as xscreensaver does. Does anyone know why this happens, how to prevent it, or at least if there is a way to reset the X display without restarting the server? -Rob

Of course, both these are optional. . Kernel image packages are generally produced using kernel-package, and it is suggested that you install that package if you wish to create a custom kernel from the sources. . This kernel image was compiled with the UDMA66 patch from Andre Hedrick patch applied. If you have an IDE controller which requires this patch, such as the Promise Ultra66, you need to select this patch rather than the vanilla kernel-image package. -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]

startx -- client arguments not respected
This problem appears to be related to an existing bug against xlients-base (#65787), though I don't believe it has the same source. I'm trying to figure out just where the problem is arising. The documented behavior of the 'startx' command is that it can be invoked specifying a client or client arguments, or server arguments. startx [ [client] options ... ] [ -- [ server ] options ... ] E.g.: $ startx $ startx -- -bpp 8 $ startx -fg green -bg red $ startx rxvt $ startx startkde It's the last two examples which don't work. X starts, then dies, with the message, e.g.: xterm: bad command line option "rxvt" I believe I've determined that startx itself is not the problem -- I've modified it so that it echos rather than execs its xinit command, and calling xinit in a similar fashion produces the same error, e.g.: $ xinit rxvt ...produces the same error. My understanding is that xinit invokes xinitrc and xserverrc. /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc (or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc) consist of: #!/bin/sh # $XConsortium: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.4 91/08/22 11:41:34 rws Exp $ # /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc # # global xinitrc file, used by all X sessions started by xinit (startx) # invoke global X session script . /etc/X11/Xsession ...which makes me suspect that it's Xsession which is at fault. Or am I missing something. Anyone else noticing and/or trying to trace this issue? -- Karsten M.

I use mostly Joerg Schilling's cdrecord suite of utilities (cdrecord + mkisofs), which is the basis of most X-based cd burning front ends. cdrecord will suffice for most cd-burning needs, such as data backup and the creation of audio CDs. A list of hardware supported by cdrecord can be found at the cdrecord homepage at http://www.fokus.gmd.de/usr/schilling/cdrecord.html. For fancier arson you can check out Andreas Müller's cdrdao at http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/. There's also a .deb for cdrdao, fairly up-to-date, and a front-end, Gnome CD Master or gcdmaster iirc. My own experience: I own an ACER 4x4x32 and a BTC 4x4x32 (no zip disks for me!) The ACER appears to handle generic CDR's better. It happens to be more expensive. Moral: if you want to use label-less CDR's buy the more expensive burner.

Install XFree86 4.0.1/can't boot/recovery puzzle
Tried to install XFree86 4.0.1 last to accomodate a new Matrox G450. Followed ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.0.1/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc21/Install http://thedukeofurl.org/reviews/misc/3dlinux/6.shtml Now system hangs on boot following the message Starting X font server: xgsFontCachInitialize: hi=1048576, low=786432, bal=70 Cntl-Alt-Del reboots, but don't know any other way to escape from this. No experience with the system recovery needed here, but evidently I need to boot from and emergency disk, mount the root file system on the hard disk and edit the appropriate startup file. Can boot with Debian install CD 1 or a tomsrtbt floppy, but haven't been able to mount the root file system. #mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb3 /mnt EXT2-fs: 03-43: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb2, or too many mounted file systems #fsck.ext2 /dev/hdb The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 file system. If the device is valid (and not a swap or ufs or something else), the the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternative superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 Is it plausible that the problem booting could have corrupted the superblock? Any suggestions short of reinstalling? No backup (but only the install is lost, no data). On avoiding such problems in the future (backups aside ...)?

Typically /dev/hdc if you've got an IDE drive, or /dev/sdc for a SCSI drive (though I think this varies). Try running 'dmesg' shortly after boot. If you've got an IDE drive, you'll see something like: hdc: FX120T, ATAPI CDROM drive hdc: ATAPI 12X CD-ROM drive, 256kB Cache ...among the output. To mount this: $ mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom Otherwise, research your SCSI CD and how to properly mount it. -- Karsten M.

PPS Instead of everything getting out of wack and bumped down, can't I split /hda& into /hda1 and /hda2. can I control the naming somehow? Thats exactly what should happen - you can have hda1 and hda2 in the same space as hda1 used to take up. FYI hda5 and upwards are called Logical partitions, and reside in what is called an Extended partition. hda1 through to hda4 are called Primary partitions, and the Extended partition is a special kind of Primary partition. To confuse the issue even more, hda1 does not have to be physically before hda2 on the disk. I mean that hda2 might be track 1 to 10 and hda1 might be track 11 to 123. -- Criggie
A few (simple) questions
Hi there, I installed a few new things to my Debian installation got most of the stuff working, but there are still some problems. I think those are very easy to solve, but I don't have any idea how. 1.) I managed to get sound (ALSA with via82...) but only as root. If ie. mpg123 ist started as user it says Can't open /dev/dsp! but /dev/dsp has rwx permissions set for user and group. 2.) I got my graphics card working. (Elsa Gladiac with NVIDIA GeForce2 chip) To do so I had to install X11R6 version 4. Now the problem: I want to use lyx. lyx depends on libforms0.89 libforms0.89 depends on xpm4g xpm4g conflicts with xlibs Great little vicious circle. 3.) Look at my E-Mail address - really screwed. I want to use my university address but can't use my universities server because of a anti-spam script they use. So I have to send mail through my stupid provider which overwrites the address as you can see above. That's that you now. Thanks if you read so far. More thanks if you can help me. Nikolai.

On X version 4, xinitrc actually runs Xsession but I suppose this may not be so on older versions. In addition, if you have local definitions, ~/.xinitrc is used by startx and .xsession by xdm and the rest. Again, X version 4 seems to have amalgamated these, but it was traditional for the 2 files to be linked. If you have a local setup, the system one is probably not used. The easiest way to check is to put trace prints into all the possible files (echo _filename_ >>/tmp/startx.log) and see which ones get called. >My next question is coincidentally about login managers.

If you do su, you become a different user and you need authority to access your X display. The easiest way to do this is to put export XAUTHORITY=~/.Xauthority in your .xsession or .xinitrc file. (It must be exported, or it won't propogate into your su session.) Since root can read any file, it will be able to read your .Xauthority and use it to gain access. -- Oliver Elphick[EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP: 1024R/32B8FAA1: 97 EA 1D 47 72 3F 28 47 6B 7E 39 CC 56 E4 C1 47 GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C "Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof."

Debian + Kicq + gcc
Hello Everyone, I'm having a problem installing kicq 2.0.0b1 in tarball. i got past ./configure, but when i ran make, i came across an error and kicq didn't install. I asked the developer of kicq, and he knew i was using debian because of the error. What seems to be the real problem, and how can it be fixed? Below is a snippet from the kicq mailing list: - SUBJECT: RE: [kicq-users] Re: kicq 2.0beta1 install problem (make) Joel Douglas Maxwell <> writes: > > > Well, after getting 20mb of packages, i got past the "./configure" stage. > > > Now i've come across an error in make: > > > > > > g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I/usr/local/include > > > -I/usr/include/kde -I/usr/lib/qt2/include -I/usr/X11R6/include > > > -I../../kicq -I../../kicq/chat -I../../kicq/contactlist > > > -I../../kicq/dialogs -I../../kicq/filetransfer -I../../kicq/history > > > -I../../kicq/info -I../../kicq/messageurl -I../../kicq/mydetails > > > -I../../kicq/preferences -I../../kicq/registration -I../../kicq/search > > > -I../../kicq/utils -I../../kicq/main -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -O2 > > > -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -Wall -pedantic -W -Wpointer-arith > > > -Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -Wno-long-long -fno-builtin -c > > > chatedit.cpp -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/chatedit.o > > > chatedit.cpp: In method `void ChatEdit::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *)': > > > chatedit.cpp:46: `MW' undeclared (first use this function) > > > chatedit.cpp:46: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once > > > chatedit.cpp:46: for each function it appears in.) > > > make[3]: *** [chatedit.lo] Error 1 > > > make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/bin/kicq/kicq/chat' > > > make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 > > > make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/bin/kicq/kicq' > > > make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 > > > make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/bin/kicq' > > > make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 > > > > > > Any clue as to what happened? > > > > Let me guess, you have Debian... > > Debian 2.2, with kernel 2.2.17 > what does this distro have to do with the problem, and how can it be > fixed?

permission problem
I've moved /home from / to a new partition, but I now find that I can't run certain things, e.g. Staroffice 5.2 and OpenOffice 6.05. I've checked permissions, groups, fstab, etc. but all seems to be correctly set. And to make things even stranger, not even root can install stuff like Staroffice of Photopaint. Untarring stuff is okay, but not installation. Is there an issue with moving things to a new partition and permissions? Thanks.

gnomeConf.sh
Recently I've stumbled upon a problem when compiling some programs from source code. When running ./configure it checks for gnomeConf.sh in /usr/local/lib which it can't find. I checked the whole system, but it isn't there altogether. What's the deal with gnomeConf.sh and how can I get around this? Any help appreciated. For the record: running potato with Helix Gnome.

Help using old dos partition...
Hi, I have the following setup: /hda1 dos /hda5 /boot /hda6 / /hda7 swap /hda8 /home Now I would like to use cfdisk to delete /hda1 and create two partitions, one for /usr/local and another for /tmp. Could someone check my steps? 1. Change to init 1 2. Use cfdisk to delete dos partition and create new two/Write/Format 3. All other names now bumped down one, so change lilo root /hda6 to /hda7 4. Change fstab settings bumping up all one and adding /usr/local and /tmp 5. Reboot. 6. Switch to init 1. Make and move over /usr/local and /tmp files The problem is I never got past stage 5 reboot. It hangs. Where did I go wrong? When I changed /hda1 to a single linux partition for /usr/local, everyting went ok. But by splitting it in two and adding another, I get into trouble. Help appreciated. Jonathan PS A curious thing is when I change /hda1 from dos to linux it goes in cfdisk as a linux ext2 partition. Everything ok. But when I create /hda1 and the new /hda5 the /hda5 goes in as linux and no ext2 setting no matter that I followed the same steps... PPS Instead of everything getting out of wack and bumped down, can't I split /hda& into /hda1 and /hda2. can I control the naming somehow? -- "Hey, I think I finally got the hang of i-"

Three Stupid X Questions...
Running Woody, X 4.0.1, and the Nvidia .95 drivers. The first problem is that /etc/X11/Xsession doesn't seem to get sourced during manual startx logins. I would like to throw a few things in there (xscreensaver, etc.). It does get sourced when using a login manager. Any personal xsession or xresources files also never seem to be read. I do have "allow-user-resources" and "allow-user-xsession" in my Xsession.options file. My next question is coincidentally about login managers. If I use kdm or wdm I am not allowed to su to root and launch anything. I get a connection refuesed by server error. I am sure this is probably a one word edit in a config but I am just not sure _which_ config. Any hints? GDM doesn't have this problem but when I try to luanch anything besides a gnome session it flashes a couple of times and returns me to the login. My third problem involves gtk themes, basically I can't use any. I get a warning about "libpixmap.so." I thought that maybe I could just add it to my modules to load in my XF86Config-4 file but that didn't seem to work. All of this automagically worked before, but a new hd was required, so I'm starting all over again :-). TIA, jt

Re: Q: Using apt-get upgrade-Any way to get list first?
Use a frontend like capt (console-apt) or aptitude. They show you a list of packages to be updated. Aptitude puts the packages to be upgraded in reverse cyan and sets the "SA" field to iu. Capt (package console-apt) will put them into the second list from the top--headed Installed packages (newer version is available). Another quick thing to do is go ahead and upgrade, just say n when asked to continue, then you have a list of what is being upgraded, and you can apt-get install the packages in the priority system you see most fit. Of course, probably the best thing to do if you have issues with large downloads is to stay with stable, then your daily d/l is pretty much guaranteed to be small except when they have "point release" days.

Installing Debian/2.2r2 Over Existing Redhat/6.2 System
Shalom! I've been reading about the Debian distribution (I guess I should probably refer to it as GNU/Linux), and last week ordered a 3-CD set from CheapBytes. Looking forward to its arrival. Trying to be a good sysadmin for my home system, and I'm curious: has anyone installed Debian/2.2r2 over an existing Redhat/6.2 installation? I don't want/need to change ANY partition information, nor do I want to over-write my current kernel/modules information (I've got a nicely customized 2.2.17 setup, with Win4Lin patches) or my Win4Lin installation. So, anyone care to share her/his experiences/wisdom with me? TIA! -- JONATHAN B.

Debian 2.2: download stops during "apt-get update"
I am in the process of trying to upgrade my computers to 2.2. My workstation was running 2.0 and my server was running 1.3. When I upgraded my workstation, I started having network problems. Downloading files seems to frequently stop after 1-5 minutes. The network is still up, pinging the source still works. Other connections (e.g., http) still are running. There is just no download occurring! Sometimes everything works great. My slrnpull cron job hasn't worked since the upgrade because it aborts after downloading one group and part way through the next group with the error "***Connection to news.concentric.net lost. Performing shutdown.". I thought there might be some problem with the server (acting as my Internet gateway) running 1.3, and since I needed to install a larger hard drive anyway, I did a clean install of 2.2 on the server. Everything goes great until I get to the point of downloading the rest of the system using ftp and apt-get. When I try to do "apt-get update" the same downloading problem occurs and apt-get times out without getting the full packages listing. I've been using Linux for a couple years now, but I'm no expert. Usually the Debian installs and upgrades work without any big problems. I'm not sure how to go about troubleshooting this one. The log files don't show anything curious. I've checked the archives of this mailing list, but haven't found any mention of a similar problem. So it must be something I'm not doing correctly. Both machines are using 486 processors. They use different network cards (NE2000 and HP J2405A). Last night I upgraded my workstation to 2.2r2, but the problem persists. I would appreciate any help this group can provide. Thanks, Jeff

Re: Removing print spooler
Hi, I have a little firewall server with no printer and I removed lpd, until now without difficulties. However, there still hangs around a lot of stuff in /etc/init.d /etc/rcS.d /etc/rcX.d /etc/cron.weekly and so forths. You have to remove that by hand as far as I know, but your system will keep on running. I do not know about reinstalling, but I guess everything works fine after a apt-get install lpd (and printfilters if needed).

Removing print spooler
I don't have a printer attached to my (standalone) potato machine. Is it a good idea, and safe, to remove the lpr package, given that its priority is standard? Is it easy to add lpr again if I do get a printer in the future? Are there any other printing packages that I might need to remove? Tom
GNU Emacs - smaller font
I would like a slightly smaller font for use in GNU Emacs. I currently have (custom-set-faces '(default ((t (:family "Courier" :size "10pt"))) t)) In my .emacs file, which I imaging was put there when Emacs was configured, because I didn't put it there. It may have been made by XEmacs, because it changes the font size on XEmacs, but not GNU emacs. How do I make my font size smaller in GNU Emacs? Tom
