keyboard bell
Hi All, Just a quick question, and hopefully a quick answer :) what's the best way to change the keyboard bell volume? I know it can be done, because KDE and Gnome both have an application to do so. Now I'm using icewm, nd I can't figure out a way to change the volume or pitch or anything. I'd really rather not just click somewhere to do it, I'd rather just change it in the startup scripts or something. Thanks for any and all help, Lee Teague [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I wish to install debian over the internet. Wish to or need to? I'd focus on what gets the job done rather than insisting on a specific mode of operation. First, are you sure you can't get support for the card?

If you have another local system which you can access, you might try D/L'ing .debs you're interested in and porting these over locally -- since you can't get networking up, floppies and/or CDR are probably in order. If you've got a modem, it's quite possible to do a Debian install over dialup, though it takes a bit longer. Base system is a matter of an hour or so, possibly less. Additional packages overnight max. If you stage things right, you'll download your build support over modem, then get the rest of the system over your cable link. > I have installed the base system fine, and it all works (i assume) as > it should.

X troubles (serious) with testing/woody
Hello. Today I ran apt-get update; apt-get -u upgrade and found that new X is out. "Yay!", I said. :) I ran the complete upgrade. About 13 packages were kept back, so I sequentially upgraded them too. Now I closed X and reconfigured it. Now when I run 'startx' this is what happens: X: cannot stat /etc/X11/X (No such file or directory), aborting. I checked the directory structures of /etc/X11 and noticed files are not where they are supposed to be. Lots has changed. So, I removed xfree86-common package and all thousand or so dependent packages and started from scratch. All I can simply ask now is, "What do I do to make X work?". If everything fails, I will just compile X, but I want to keep that as my last resort. P.S. As topic indicates, this is a woody/testing box. Thanks in advance.

How to manage file /etc/modules; What process?
I have changed the kernel modules several times and in looking over the various files that are used when the kernel boots..I noticed the the file /etc/modules has not changed since I installed the system Dec.18,2000. It seems that this should be altered as the kernel gives a lot of boot messages indicating that it can not find many of the modules listed as needed. However they are no longer necessary with the alterations to the new kernel. There are also other modules that I think should be loaded that are not. What is the process for altering this file correctly? Is it something that I must hand edit or is there a tool to manage it. Thanks! John

It's fairly painless if you use kernel package. The pcmcia-source
stuff should install in /usr/src/modules iirc. You then go into the
kernel source tree, do make {menu,x}config as you prefer, make-kpkg
clean, then make-kpkg --revision=local.2.2.18-1 kernel_image
modules_image. You'll end up with two debs in /usr/src that, once
installed, will make your laptop happy ;)
Notes: dpkg seems to get pissed if I install the kernel-image and the
pcmcia-modules packages at the same time, so I always install the
kernel-image deb first. Also, you are well advised to place these
packages on hold once installed.

The smbprint script seems to want the acct file to be in the spooler
directory.
The script itself must be executable and be in the location that matches
your if= line. My permissions are daemon.lp rwxr-xr--.
The script expects a .config file in the spooler directory (see the
script for details; I've added a username field to the script).
And here's the script itself:
#!/bin/sh
# This script is an input filter for printcap printing on a unix machine. It

# smb:lp=/dev/null:sd=/usr/spool/smb:sh:if=/usr/local/samba/smbprint
#
# which would create a unix printer called "smb" that will print via this
# script. You will need to create the spool directory /usr/spool/smb with

Then look at apt-move. Use normal 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade'
on the 'main' machine, when done, use 'apt-move update'. Depending on
where you tell apt-move to put its things, you can have a local mirror
(usually of just the packages you install ... which makes it a LOT
easier to maintain without burning bandwidth) via http, ftp, nfs,
whatever.
I periodically burn my deb collection to CD (maybe every 6 months?) as a
sort of backup.

bounce queue printing - how?
I'm printing to an HPLJ2100 printer hanging off an NT box; therefore I'm having to print to it via samba. The only way I've gotten this to work is to modify my /etc/printcap so that the if= line points to a smbprint script. This works fine, except that it removes magicfilter from the equation. From what I can tell about bounce queues, they allow you to send your printjobs through two different queues, one after the other. The first one can do one type of processing; the second can do another. I would assume this means I could run my printjob through magicfilter, and then through the smbprint script to actually send the job to the remote printer. However, I haven't been able to comprehend how to set up the bounce queue. Here's my /etc/printcap: lp|hplj2100|HP LaserJet 2100:\ :cm=Karen's HP LaserJet 2100:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj2100:\ :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\ :if=/usr/bin/smbprint:\ # :if=/etc/magicfilter/ljet4-filter:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/hplj2100/lp-acct:\ :lf=/var/log/lp-errs: Also, assuming I can get this to work, anyone know what's the best magicfilter (ljet4-filter, etc) to use for an HP LJ 2100?

Screwed with HDparm a little bit too much
Ok everyone. A response to this would definitely be appreciated. I was messing with the different HD Parm settings one day to see if I could get better thouroughput. I started to run a Bonnie++ test to see if my tweaking was doing any good. It stopped in the middle of the test and gave me a kernel panic (not good). I managed to reboot my box in a semi-proper way and it wouldn't boot. I think I fried my partition cuz I can't mount it with boot disks and e2fsck and fsck don't work on it on my new Slack Partition. Any advise on how to fix this would definitely be appreciated. By the way, when I first installed it I didn't care too much about my partition table setup I just wanted it to work. So the partition that's messed up is my root partition which contains everything. If I can fix this well, I can guaranttee that that won't happen again. Brandt Dusthimer

I assume this is because some sort of end-of-document control code is not being sent, and therefore the printer has to wait until it's buffer is full before it prints the page. 2. Printing from Mozilla produces a lot of control codes; I assume this is because Mozilla assumes it's printing to a postscript printer.

There is an ipchians module that you can compile with the kernel that allows to you still use ipchains normally with iptables. The problem with this is I don't see how you can use the old masquerading modules (like the ftp one) with it. If you are sticking with your old ipchains script, just make sure you build the module, and put `ipchains' in /etc/modules to load it at boot-time. If you are interested in migrating fully to iptables, there are a few iptables firewall/masq scripts on freshmeat.net (under console/firewall, I think, on the appindex). Personally, I use gShield, and am very happy with it. Just make sure you compile *all* of the iptables modules (either as modules or in the kernel). The names of some of them suggest you don't need them, but most of the pre-cooked firewall scripts that I have seen require most of them. cheers, damon -- Damon Muller | Did a large procession wave their torches Criminologist/Linux Geek | As my head fell in the basket, http://killfilter.com | And was everybody dancing on the casket...

Can't samba print to nt-shared printer on NT domain
Either the HOWTOs aren't covering this, or I'm not getting it. I've got two machines: one is running WinNT and is attached to an NT domain on my university campus. The other is a Debian Woody box, also attached to the campus network (but of course, not validating off the NT domain). I have an HP Laserjet 2100 hanging off the NT box, and it is shared so that EVERYONE has PRINTING access. At first I thought I could just TCP print to it by configuring my /etc/printcap to have rm- and rp= entries, but soon came to the conclusion that NT must share printers only via their proprietary mechanism (NetBEUI?), and not via TCP/IP. So I figured I'd have to use Samba. I've installed smb-common and samba and smbclient and smbfs. I don't really have a good grasp of shell scripting, etc, so I might just be missing something simple. Before posting all the relevant scripts and file permissions, etc, let me start with a more rudimentary aspect. I've managed to figure out how to get the printer to spit out a blank sheet of paper: On the Debian box, I type: smbclient \\hplj2100 -U (using the actual computer name and my actual password/username) That gets me to a smb: \> at which point I type "print /etc/printcap" I would assume that this would print out my /etc/printcap file. Typically this does nothing, at which time I repeat the command, which then causes the printer to spit out a blank page. Why am I getting a blank page instead of my /etc/printcap? (I could understand stairstepping, but blank?) Once I get past this rudimentary level, if I have further questions I'll post more info then. Thanks! Kent

Re: Kernel compiling questions....
Hi Stefan, Quoth Stefan Srdic, > My goal is to compile a kernel which performs greatly but is also very > small with only the basic requirements compiled into the kernel and > everything else compiled as modules. Sometimes the way the system is set up makes it a little redundant to compile things in as modules. For example, on boot, debian will try and configure the serial ports with setserial (I think), which will load the serial module, even if you don't intend using it for that session. But, in general, I agree that modules are a Good Thing. > So far I've decided on compiling support for my CPU (Athlon/K7), Chipset > (VIA 82C586), and primary network interface (Vortex) directly into the > kernel. I also plan on compiling PCI and EISA PnP support along with > AGP support so that I will not have to recompile the kernel when I > upgrade some of my hardware. It sounds like you haven't actually had a look at menuconfig or anything like that yet (you can check out the options with `make menuconfig' and not save it or change it later). Things like CPU type are not available as modules, as they are fundamental to how the kernel builds and operates. Things like a PCI bus are also not much good as modules, because there is no point at which they don't have to be loaded (unless you can get by without video, or drives, or little things like that...). Inevitably you will end up having to recompile the kernel if you significantly change hardware. Don't worry, it's relatively painless (man kernel-package (5)). > I'm not sure if I should compile support for my harddrive, floppy and > CD-RW directly into the kernel or as modules. I do know that I will be > compiling support for my Voodoo 3, Ensoniq, and Realtek NIC as modules. Well, you can't compile things like hard drive controllers as modules, but you can compile support for file systems as modules. Be aware that if you compile ext2 as a module, you will get a kernel panic when you boot, as the kernel can't read the filesystem that the module to read the filesystem is located on! Your NIC, sound card, and things like drm and maybe even fbcon for the graphics card are fine as modules (I don't know if the voodoos are supported as fbcon drivers, but if they are, I find it's better if they are compiled in, rather than as modules, as they kick in earlier in the boot process). > What should compiled directly into the kernel, and what should be > compiled into modules?

Boot prompt fails to show "other"
When I boot up and press the left Shift key, followed by TAB, the only option listed is "Linux". This is despite the fact that I have Win95 on another partition, and that I've configured /etc/lilo.conf to see it, and have run "lilo", which reports "Adding Linux* / Adding Windows". Here's my lilo.conf: boot=/dev/hda3 root=/dev/hda3 compact install=/boot/boot-menu.b delay=20 map=/boot/map append="" read-only image=/vmlinuz label=Linux other=/dev/hda1 label=Windows table=/dev/hda Any clues?

apt-get segfaulting
Hey All, many thanks to those who gave advice on installing kernel 2.4 on my laptop. Turned out the problem was that I hadn't set the processor type in the kernel configuration... Now a new difficult rears its ugly head. Apt-get is segfaulting under the new kernel. When I try (for example) apt-get install mpg123, the program segfaults immediately. Ditto with apt-get remove xxx Any ideas? Or methods of upgrading / correcting the faulty version of apt-get without using apt-get? Tiarnan
sb module
Hi! Each time I want to listen music in my CDrom I need to load the sb module typing (as root) "modprobe sb" at the command line. I would like to load this modlule at startup as a normal user. I think that this can be done using a script. What kind of script? Thanks in advance for the help! Marcelo
Re: CD-RW support
afaik, you cant mount a cd-r in read-write mode (until someone implements packet writing like adaptec's DirectCD anyway). To write to the CD-r(w) use a program like cdrecord or cdwrite. For help on configuring scsi emulation (assuming your cd-r is IDE), look at the archives for this list, there is a thread about it only a couple days old. -Casey On Sun, 28 Jan 2001, Glenn Becker wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm trying to make use of the second CD drive (CD-RW) in my Dell Dimension > XPS T700r.

Linux must see it as a read-only filesystem, because it can't write to a CDR at kernel level. You should use a special program like cdrecord, which doesn't care of this setting in anyway, because it recognizes the CDR at application level. _ Do You Yahoo!?

You cannot write to a mounted CD (Packet writing software does not yet exist for Linux). If the CD is good (Try it in the CDROM drive) then you probably have a configuration problem.

"df" however simply asks the filesystem for used/free info, and that does include the space used by those "phantom" files. If you kill the process that has that (log)file open, the space it used will be released. Ofcourse a reboot will do the same thing. You can find a list of those files and the processes keeping then open by doing (as root): ls -l /proc/*/fd | fgrep '(deleted)' If you see the same after a reboot, your filesystem is probably a bit broken. The easiest way to force a file system check is then to do "sync; sleep 3; sync; sleep 1; reboot -f". Yes it's what we dutch people call "the blunt axe approach" but it works ;) Mike.

The main galeon packager has to rely on other people to do potato packages, and in this case didn't know that the latest package was built against X4 until after the fact. As it stands now, galeon cannot be built on a pure potato system. It uses features of the Gnome libraries that aren't available in the increasingly obsolete version released with potato. It does build on a potato system updated with the current Helix/Ximian Gnome packages. It also depends on mozilla 0.7 or a recent nightly rather than the M18 in potato. Building it requires xml-i18n-tools which isn't officially packaged even in sid, and building the docs requires gnome-doc-tools which is also not officially packaged. In the near future packages should be available for potato systems updated with Helix/Ximian Gnome and an unofficial mozilla 0.7. Depending on how difficult it is to do, packages built against a "pure" potato system and mozilla 0.7 *may* become available later. Frank

Where does the ghostscript init string go?
Okay, I think the reason why my Epson Stylus Color 880 isn't working with its USB hookup might be due to: http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html#sh3 They write: Q: My Epson printer doesn't print anything. A: Many Epson printers (the 740 does not) need a special set of characters sent to the printer for it to use the USB interface. You can do this using a uniprint - stcany.upp - ghostscript combination, by adding an extra initialisation string in stcany.upp. The string is 00 00 00 1b01 40 45 4a 4c 20 31 32 38 34 2e 34 0a 40 45 4a 4c 20 20 20 20 20 0a Now inspecting the stcany.upp file it is not obvious to me where to insert this string. Furthurmore, since this is a modification to ghostscript's configuration, it shouldn't affect the printing of ascii text, should it? ascii text doesn't print on this machine either, since nothing does. The lpr command just does nothing. __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Auctions - Buy the things you want at great prices. http://auctions.yahoo.com/

'rename' is almost certainly on your system (ie, it comes with perl, and
it's sorta hard to have a working debian system without perl).

RE: du and df not in sync?
Hi, I don't know the answer to this question for sure but in UNIX in general you can have files with "holes" in them. If you create a file and move the file position pointer 2 billion steps forward and write one byte your file will be reported as 2 gig big, but it will in fact be a lot smaller. This is very common with core files for instance. This "hole" in the file is transparent to all other system calls so if you copy the file it will in fact end up being 2 gig big. This means that du will report it as being 2 gig but df which uses other information will report the actual amount if disk space used and they might not add up. I can't guarantee that it works like this in Linux (as I'm not as proficient with Linux as I was with the now obsolete Sun OS 4.1. Consider this a theory rather than a fact.

Kernel compiling questions....
I got the source, I've read some of the kernel documentation, now its time to compile this thing. I've got a few questions though. Currently I'm running Debian 2.2 with Helix Gnome and XFree86-4.0.2. I'm running this self-modified distro on a Asus K7M mobo with an Athlon 550Mhz cpu/128MB of RAM. For perephirals I got a Voodoo 3 PCI, a Creative Ensoniq, 3Com Vortex 10Mbs NIC and an A-Open NE2k-pci compatible NIC (cat pci shows it as a Realtek 8029). And I also happen to have a Maxtor ATA-66 HDD (Maxtor 92041U4) and a iOmega 2x2x24 CD-RW (ZIPCD 4x650) My goal is to compile a kernel which performs greatly but is also very small with only the basic requirements compiled into the kernel and everything else compiled as modules. So far I've decided on compiling support for my CPU (Athlon/K7), Chipset (VIA 82C586), and primary network interface (Vortex) directly into the kernel. I also plan on compiling PCI and EISA PnP support along with AGP support so that I will not have to recompile the kernel when I upgrade some of my hardware. I'm not sure if I should compile support for my harddrive, floppy and CD-RW directly into the kernel or as modules. I do know that I will be compiling support for my Voodoo 3, Ensoniq, and Realtek NIC as modules. What should compiled directly into the kernel, and what should be compiled into modules? Are there some modules that can be left out all together if I'll never use that sort of hardware with Linux (ie: USB) Thanks Stef

login widget / xdm -> wmaker delay
hi, i start xdm as the last init script in runlevel 3 and i am presented with the login widget. first of all, is there a way to change this? i love the simple one debian provide, but on my 1024x768 screen, it fills up more than half - and i'd much rather have it be really small for optical reasons. can that be changed, and is is possible to change the background too? my other and actually more important question relates to the weirdness that all of a sudden is happening to my x start. no matter what user, whenever i login using xdm, it takes *forever* (precisely 60 seconds actually) to start the first x client in the .xsession file. now 60 seconds can't be accidental, this must be related to some lookup thing or whatever, but my dns seems to work perfectly and i can't really think of much else... nscd is not installed. this is a new system and over the last 24 hours i have configured a lot. this just started randomly this morning and i don't know what i changed or did to make it happen. any ideas? martin [greetings from the heart of the sun]# echo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@@.net -- the only real advantage to punk music is that nobody can whistle it.
