Sparc Ultra 5 XConfig?
Ugggh. I convinced a friend to load Potato on his Sparc Ultra 5 with Debian instead of another (ahem) unnamed Linux distro. We're a little screwed up though. We think we answered some of the setup questions wrong in anXious and messed up his X config. (anXious seems very i386-centric...) anXious also won't appear to run a second time... just returns after apparently doing nothing. Didn't strace it to see what it's doing, though. Anyway... we figured out that the mouse device is probably /dev/sunmouse. What we appear to have problems with is the keyboard mapping... (we never saw anything special for a Sun Type V keyboard) and XKB stuff in the XF86Config file. The keyboard's not quite right now. Also, the mouse in X is really acting strangely. We removed --purged the gpm stuff (he doesn't want it anyway) ... So I'm looking for a working XF86Config file for a fairly recent Ultra 5 with the Mach64 X server. Anyone have one? Thanks a ton.

Seeking help with Tyan Thunder onboard LSI SCSI
I'm sorry to have to ask buit this is the first scsi system I've ever had
and it's been a chore to get it this far, it's been one of those weeks
folks. I'll have alot of boring technical stuf below here and alot of
questions I'm afraid. Happy holidays to everyone while I have your
attention for a second and thanks in advance for any help I get.
I have a Tyan Thunder LE S2510 with integrated LSI Symbios 53C1010 SCSI
and Seagate Barracuda 18G drive.
lsilogic.com says to use the NCR 53810 driver for linux for the onboard
scsi controller. I pass lilo the argument as stated in the ondisk help
boot: nc53c8xx=safe:y
this results in (from dmesg and despairingly hand copied)
sym53c8xx:
setup=disc:n,specf:0,ultra:0,tags:0,sync:255,burst:255,wide:n,diff:1,revprob:n,buschk:0x1
sym53c8xx:
setup=mpar:n,spar:y,fsn=n,verb:2,debug:0x0,led:n,settle:10,irqm:0x1,nvram:0x1,pcifix:0x0
scsi: 0 hosts
scsi: detected total.
If there is any tips or tricks to get this thing working, I would love to
know them. Perhaps some arcane command for the bootprompt, I don't know.
Windows ME was just run on my lovely linux drive and it found it and
formatted it but linux does not seem to detect the drive. Is it the fault
of the controller not working quite right because it is an onboard device
or what is it? Please enlightenment. I shall perform much pennance for
perhaps asking a foolish question or two by assisting all the fun users
that can exist on my new toy. Thanks again for everyone's time.

I'm Confused with SBLive!
Hi! I tried to install the emu10k1 module from ALSA. Having any troubles with it, I deinstalled it. When I read that the final kernel (version 2.2.17) had these module in it, I download, compile and install it with the modules. But I can't use audio. The kernel starts and don't install the module. When I use cat /proc/modules it's list all the modules loaded at the time. But no the this module. Try loading with insmod. Fine. When I use cat /proc/modules it displays that the module is unused. I tried to many forms for solving this trouble. I read docs at many sites I've found and nothing. All refers at usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound for the specified card docs. But in the latest kernel hadn't included docs for it. Can any help?? Sorry may english, I'm newbie in it... Javier

Resolving http addresses
I have a problem when I enter a URL (http://www.google.com/) or others my system does not resolve the address. I have looked at /var/log/messages and it shows that the pppd connection is made with the IP and DNS addresses show. This work before I reinstalled Debian but now it just hangs.

It doesn't, which is why anacron exists.
By "doesn't", the usual problem is that if you have cron jobs scheduled
for 6:30 am and your computer is always off from midnight to 7am, they
won't get executed. With anacron, they won't get executed at 6:30 am
since the system is off... but they will get executed roughly once a
day.

I've tried (in configuring the kernel) IDE floppy, but I can find no option for "IDE Removable." Where is that located. I've also tried the "SCSI Emulation Support" suggested by Pascal, but that didn't solve the problem either. I've also tried (after enabling SCSI emulation) jazip suggested by Eric, to no avail. Both of these I tried before posting my question. But, I could be missing a particular parameter to get this to work. Perhaps there's one obvious switch to flip that was not so obvious to me, perhaps. And lastly, I did apt-get install cdtool, and cdeject -d /dev/hdc doesn't work, but rather yields this message: cdeject: ioctl cdromeject So no luck there either. The odd thing, as I said, is that I had this working under another distribution. And I'm quite sure that I didn't touch SCSI support. But, anything's possible, and I'm open to suggestions.

if the system is down while something was scheduled to run, it will not run. there is a version of cron (don't remember the name) that runs everything that should have been run but wasn't (because system was down) right after the system starts, that might make anacron obsolete. and you are not supposed to turn off the computer! ever! :-)) erik [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi! > > Does cron work correctly in a system which is powered down periodically, > like a pc at home?

When you power the box on, cron does not look and see what jobs it did not run. So, if you power a machine on once a week, for 4 hours from 2 pm to 6 pm, no system cron job will ever run. This is what anacron solves. When the machine powers on it checks for missed jobs and runs them.
Re: latest woody kills dexter?
I am quite sure it can be reconfigured, I am quite sure that one of the programs that I upgraded said that I can reconfigure it later but I dodn't remember which one it was nor how todo it. just read the docs, it has to be there. --reinstal (apt-get) might help, it reinstalls package that is already newest.

Re: latest woody kills dexter?
you need to reconfigure the package, I am not sure which one, probably xserver-xfree86, and I am not sure how exactly but check the docs for apt-get and dpkg, you need to run one of them using --config or something like that.

For sendmail configurations based on the standard "reference" configuration
file (which, as far as I know, the debian 8.9 package is), masquerading is
accomplished by turning on one rule, and setting the masquerade domain.
Check the setting of the:
DM
macro, and rulesets S93 and S94.
I don't know exim . . . sorry.

Re: how do I enable dmfe when compiling new kernel
seach for dmfe.c in dirver/net/Makefile, you'll find that it is compiled if CONFIG_DM9102 is set. Then (in kernel source root): find . -name Makefile -print|xargs grep CONFIG_DM9102 and you'll find that ./drivers/net/Config.in says: if [ "$CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL" = "y" ]; then tristate 'DM9102 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)' CONFIG_DM9102 fi I guess that means that you need to enable experimental drivers in kernel (it's another option in make menuconfig) to be offered this module. erik Jens Lauterbach wrote: > > I'm using make menuconfig and thats working fine, but I cant find dmfe > under the netcard drivers, all though I can find the file > /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17/drivers/net/dmfe.c > > So its there, so how do I include it, when I'm compiling. > > with potato, 2.2.17-compact it works fine! > > what is wrong?? > > /jens > > On Wed, 13 Dec 2000, Erik Steffl wrote: > > > use make-kpkg, read the docs (it's quite simple). at one point it asks > > you to configure kernel - do it by run make config (command line), make > > menuconfig (ncurses required, text based gui), make xconfig (x windows > > interface, I think you need tk and wish for this). there you have a > > chance to decide what you want to include. > > > > erik > > > > Jens Lauterbach wrote: > > > > > > hi > > > > > > I'm about to recompile my potato 2.2.17 kernel. > > > But how do I include dmfe (netcard driver) so I can load it > > > as a module??? > > > > > > thanks in advance > > > > > > --- > > > Jens Lauterbach > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Roskilde University > > > > > > -- > > > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If they're using exim it's just a matter of adding a an appropriate
rewrite rule, no need to worry about relaying or anything like that. I
think that when you install exim there's even a nice setup for you
already in /etc/exim.conf, you just need to uncomment it and add the
alias to /etc/email-addresses. For example, at the end of my
/etc/exim.conf file I have:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail} bcfrF
The file /etc/email-addresses has the following line it:
glhenni: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The domain of my little LAN at home is hennigan.bogus so any email I
send out would, for example, have "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" as the
address if I didn't do something with it. Obviously there aren't a
whole lot of DNS servers (only one in fact, my own) that can resolve
hennigan.bogus. So exim takes the * --> glhenni and looks in
/etc/email-addresses for "glhenni" it finds "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and
replaces all occurences of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and sends the email out.
I used to know how to read that little Exim rewrite rule, but that
knowledge has gone the way of the dinosaur. You'll have to read the
Exim manual if you're interested in the details.
As for sendmail and postfix I'm sure they both have a similar
mechanism, but I'm not familiar with either of them. RTFM for sendmail
and postfix and look what they use for rewrite rules.

bash tries to execute not existing binaries
Hi! Not a big problem, but I'd like to know if there is a better solution for that: I had a self compiled binary "/usr/local/bin/blah". Another version of this binary is in "/usr/bin/blah". The bash path is set to take the one from /usr/local first, executing it works fine. After deleting /usr/local/bin/blah, the bash tells me "/usr/local/bin/blah no such file or directory" after typing "blah" at the prompt. Using a new terminal solves this problem. Is there a more elegant way to "rehash" the binary paths? Thanks, -Cajus

When I looked at it earlier, I was a bit confused by not being able to
find an mremap() anywhere in the source. Now I've a bit more time, it
looks like the realloc() in procps-2.0.6/proc/ksym.c:353 is probably the
culprit; it's often implemented using mremap(). realloc() bugs are
usually caused somewhere else, as I said earlier.
In 'man malloc' there's a description of how to use the MALLOC_CHECK_

Re: how do I enable dmfe when compiling new kernel
use make-kpkg, read the docs (it's quite simple). at one point it asks you to configure kernel - do it by run make config (command line), make menuconfig (ncurses required, text based gui), make xconfig (x windows interface, I think you need tk and wish for this). there you have a chance to decide what you want to include. erik Jens Lauterbach wrote: > > hi > > I'm about to recompile my potato 2.2.17 kernel. > But how do I include dmfe (netcard driver) so I can load it > as a module??? > > thanks in advance > > --- > Jens Lauterbach > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Roskilde University > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

debian 2.2_r2 cds
hey there folks. I just grabbed the iso's of these babies for my laptop so I can loopback mount them (and install them on other pcs). anyhow, on bootup when they get loopback mounted I got the following error: Invalid session number or type of track ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 1 ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A Invalid session number or type of track ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 1 ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A Now the last two lines of each set aren't errors. It's the first line that has me puzzled. CD1 is fine btw. This is just CD's 2 and 3. Anyhow, why/how is this so? :) -- CaT ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 'We do more then just sing and dance.

Try \usepackage{graphicx} in your preamble and include the graphic
file with:
\includegraphics[]{} % without extension!
Convert your eps-files to png or pdf. PDFLaTeX should use the pdf or
png files while latex uses the eps-file.

Re: cron/at question.

Well, they don't get run immediatly ofcourse, only when it's time, you can try to kill them then, but best is to make changed to your cron or at configuration if you don't want something to get run. Maybe you can use something like start-stop-daemon, maybe that can make .pid-files for you (it does say something about it, not sure, never tried it, if someone knows to tell me too). > 2) can cron or at jobs be run as one-liners?

I think you need to do something like (if you use a C-shell like shell it's different I'm afraid): export EDITOR=emacs or export EDITOR=joe whatever.

If I run radio straight from the command prompt ps and ps aux will list a pid for radio. If I run radio via cron/at there is no pid when I do ps or ps aux. In fact, there is no pid for anything at the time cron/at executes radio. You'd expect at least something, either a pid for radio or a pid for at. That's what I found strange, hence my question.

configuring diald with ppp (out of the box)
Hi, I just recently installed diald on my debian box (running latest woody and 2.4 test kernel) for the first time but I haven't been able to get it to run yet. The only error message generated is a ppp connect script failed which the diald gui package will display if you attempt to establish the connection from there instead. pon and poff scripts work fine, and diald seems to configure itself correctly in the diald.options.provider file (or whichever). Ergo, I don't understand why ppp would fail to connect. Could it be a permissions problem? Could it be linked to it not running on a tty, as is covered in one of the readme files? - If so what can i do about it? If not is there a way to generate a more verbose errorlog or find out why it can't connect? I'm sure this is a generic problem, but since all the faqs and man pages start off with assuming diald will run your connect script correctly I'm not sure how to find out what is wrong. even a one line pointer appreciated caoilte
cron/at question.
I played around with cron and at last night and successfully started radio with it (yeah, right, a US$1000 clock radio :-) Three questions: 1) both cron and at seem to run programs in the background. However there is no pid when I do a ps aux, so how do I stop a job from running? 2) can cron or at jobs be run as one-liners? Eventually I want to write a perl of sh script (not that I know how, but I want to try) incorporating one of the two. For cron you need to use an editor to write the command, at comes with its own prompt. 3) how can I change the default editor for cron. vi is too cumbersome for me.
