pppoe for 2.4
Hi everyone, I was having trouble trying to setup pppoe for 2.4, but I came across with the problem that I needed a patched pppd 2.4 from http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~mostrows/ so that I could use the plugin pppon.so. I found out that it was not debianized. My question is will it ever be debianized? or is that there some other good solution. I used to use the pppoe package for 2.2 and it worked find. is there a performance different between the kernel space pppoe like 2.4 and user space pppoe. pls correct my termology if I am wrong. thanx!

Before installing the base system, you select your device driver modules (assuming they have been installed). The NIC modules should include the Pro100. (look in net devices). If the system detects a network device, then it asks if you want to configure the network. Then you edit /etc/network/interfaces and run ifup eth0 and you should be connected. -- ~~~
X4.0.2 and cursor

Confusion reigns. any chance you've munged your .procmailrc or /etc/aliases lately? i did a few days ago, and as a result i compressed my server under a heavy load of exim-recursion loops ad infinitum. load average was up to 36.2 !! i have a secondary login that i forward stuff to as a fall-through default, and i'd inserted an alias for "*" to be for my primary login. so round and round it went... it brought even the command line to a crawl -- i couldn't stand the wait even for "man exim" to figure out how to kill the suckers. so i renamed my ~/.procmailrc file and all the dust finally settled, after which i figured out the snag (the * alias) and then restored my .procmailrc. i'm feeling much better, now. -- See, if you were allowed to keep the money, you wouldn't create jobs with it.

You could try opening up another xterm and tail the exim mainlog # tail -f /var/log/exim/mainlog Then go to mutt and send a message. As soon as you hit the send key, the message should log to exim.

Intel PRO/100+ PCI ethernet card not detected
Hi, I'm trying to install Debian 2.2 using a "base image" I've downloaded to a Win98 partition; I'm using the udma66 installation images to boot the system initially. I understand from the documents that I should be able to install "base" in this way and then use ftp or http to access Debian servers to install other packages. The base package actually installed successfully (I've booted Linux and tooled around a bit), but the kernel doesn't seem to detect my ethernet card at all. (No eth* devices appear in /dev.) It's an Intel PRO/100+. I consulted the ethernet-howto, but I couldn't make any of their suggestions work: modutils apparently doesn't like /etc/conf.modules, and /etc/modules.conf doesn't want to be modified since it's automatically generated. Unfortunately the man pages are not part of the base package, so I'm not quite sure how to go about updating /etc/modules.conf "legitimately". My unauthorized modification-- alias eth0 eepro100 --didn't seem to make a difference: modprobe still couldn't find the card. Perhaps I need an updated driver, but I can't install gcc & friends until I have access to the Internet... chicken and egg. Is there anything else I can try (without access to a compiler-equipped linux box) to get this card working? Or am I going to have to break down and mail-order some debian CD's :-) ?

X keyboard problems
Hi all. I have had to rebuild the system half way from scratch (messed up X). I've installed X 3.3.6 from stable as a base, and then upgraded some of X components to 4.0.2 (some apps like gimp1.2 is precompiled for 4.0.2 only). Right now 90% of the X on my system is 4.0.2,, the rest 10% 3.3.6. They both coexist happily, except for one thing... XKB doesnt work, which means that I dont have delete and backspace buttons, I have to ^H my way through my typoes. The message X spits out is this: "cannot open keymap/xfree86 for reading Could not open XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB" Can anyone please help me with this?

Re: remote modem access
I have a simple system I wrote in perl/tk that is one step short of this, that is, if you want users to have to request a connection each time instead of having it dial up transparently as in diald. The system consists of: rdiald - perlscript that runs as a daemon and manages pppd; and rdial - perl/tk script to be run on clients. Requirements: perl and the Tk package. Basically rdiald runs as a user who has permissions to dial up and keeps track of the status of the dialup line; when a user starts rdial, it contacts the host running rdiald and requests a lock. If everything works okay, rdiald assigns a lock and dials up the system. The client runs fine on windows hosts as well as *nix. There are no *obvious* security holes, but it's not exactly fort knox - it's designed for a home network (like mine) in which you're not really worried about one host connecting and deleting somebody else's lock. I do make it listen only on 192.168.0.*, so there's no concern of opening a hole from the outside when dialled up. I'll throw the two scripts on http://demog.berkeley.edu/~aperrin/tips/src soon; feel free to use it but no guarantees.

Creative Flash 56 V.90 Modemblaster (ISA bus) in Linux
HI all I have baught said modem, in the seemingly mistaken belief that it is a normal internal serial modem, usable with no extra tricks, besides sorting the PnP out. With the arrival of kernel 2.4.0, the PnP turned out not to be a problem, (I can see that the device is active by looking at /proc/isapnp, as well as the ioport and IRQ), but setting up setserial to use those port and IRQ settings is unsucsessful Setseial seems to tell me that it is not a UART... Any ideas? Is there any hope of getting this modem to work in linux? Thanks Neilen

Re: Still No Cursor in X
I had the same problem with my serial mouse.

LILO+IDE+SCSI Problems
Hi, I just installed debian for the first time and have run into a problem getting LILO to boot properly. I think it is the standard 'LI' problem with SCSI and IDE disks, but I have tried several things I found on the web, none of which have been successful. My set up is one primary master IDE hard drive with WinNT on a FAT16 partition and the NT boot loader in the MBR. Then I have a IDE CD-ROM in the secondary master and two SCSI hard drives, IDs 0 and 1. The first SCSI hard drive has LILO on the MBR, a 20G /boot partition and the remainder (4GB) is /. My lilo.conf has boot=/dev/sda and root=/dev/sda2. I have tried disk=/dev/sda, bios=0x80 through 0x82 with no success. Yes, I (eventually) remembered to rerun lilo after each change, but have not seen any change.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I had the exact same problem when I was trying to get unstable working, but now I formatted to potato and potato works fine. I'd just rather be using unstable (well testing if it actually had KDE2 in it), but can't get it to work because of the startx problems and the issues with Perl/debconf. - Bart
Re: XMMS + Gnome + Sawfish
Perhaps your Sawfish stacking is set to be on top. Press Alt+Middle_Mouse_Button when your pointer is over the play list window and your sawfish menu should come up. Select Stacking->Lower and maybe History->Forget saved state. Also make sure Options->Always on top is not selected from the XMMS menu.

I just can't get it to work. startx looks for the file in .usr/X11R6/... and X won't start with that command, *but* if I run "XFree86" (the command), it does work. What's confusing me is that normally I need the xserver-svga package, which has a 3.x version number, so I don't even know what it's doing with all these XF86Config/XF86Config-4 files although normally I've never had a problem with any of this. - Bart

Problems with dist-upgrade and XFree86
I had been running testing (Woody) for nearly a month without any problems, and then I did an apt-get dist-upgrade last Sunday and things totally botched up with the XFree86. Here's the deal: I have 4 XF86Config files: XF86Config-4 is located in /etc/ and has instructions for XFree86 4 XF86Config is located in /etc/ Another is located in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ Both contain the old configuration. If I run startx tries to load modules for XFree3.3.6 indicated at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config (These include PEX and XIE). I've already reinstalled the latest version of xbase-clients (for testing and unstable), with no effect. If I run dexconf, it edits the XF86Config for XFree3.3.6 If I run , XFree86 -configure it creates /root/XF86Config.new for XFree4 (and the mouse works) If I run xf86config, it edits XF86Config-4 but startx does not access this. Should I overwrite the XFree86Config files with a copy of XF86Config-4, or is there a better way do do this? In what package is dexter located (if I must upgrade it?) dexter and dexconf are not on the Debian package database on the web. Incidentally, right now I cannot do another apt-get update becuase I cannot make a modem connection from the command prompt. I can download things on another windows drive and do dpkg -i after logging into linux again. Thanks again for the help. -Glen

Re: apt-get install debconf problem
You need to make /usr/bin/perl point to perl-5.6, not perl-5.5, or
perl-4.0, or whatever wacky thing it points to on your system.
Corrected perl packages will come out eventually.

legal to use libapache-mod-ssl??
Is it legal to use mod-ssl (or apache-ssl) in the US for commercial purposes? I've seen some conflicting documentation on the matter (and it seems like I heard laws changed regarding this recently as well???). Also, is using mod-ssl or apache-ssl as secure as one of the secure commercial apache solutions (e.g. Stronghold)? And lastly, from what I've seen, most people seem to prefer mod-ssl over apache-ssl. I'm interested in preferences and opinions on this as well. Thanks, Gerry

Plus, yes, I've been rewriting my config files, but not because they're inappropriately built, but because they have somewhat wrong data, and I hadn't noticed before. > -Original Message- > From: Terry Boon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2001 2:24 PM > To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: Re: BIND not working (was RE: NFS hangups.) > > On Tue, Jan 30, 2001 at 09:20:49PM +, Terry Boon wrote: > > > On Tue, Jan 30, 2001 at 12:21:46PM -0800, Alex Swavely wrote: > > > I think I figured it out...

USB-Scanner-Probs
Hi! I've got problems installing my Epson Perfection 1200 Photo USB under Debian 2.2 and Kernel 2.4. I followed the instructions offered in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/usb. I have made a devie called /dev/usbscanner and activated the usb support. After loading manually uhci and scanner module nothing happens. When typing "xsane" on console an errormessage appears telling me that no suche device could be found. Starting xsane with -d /dev/usbscanner the same happens. Any tips?

Not really, I think you have misunderstood me a little. I probably haven't made myself clear enough. The server will only serve the local network. That is, the web server should not be seen to the outside, as well as the DNS and the mail. So I actually want to deny any connection that is made from the outside, except SSH and commmunication, that I've initiated. Thus, the statefulness of netfilter will probably help. However, for the firewall, the internal server is just another peer on the local net, it should not care about requests made to any port on the server made from the inside. It should block all access to the server to the outside, but that is easily done by NATing the local net and denying any traffic at all. My question is, whether I really need two machines for this scenario, or whether one machine will do it, by blocking any and all outside-initiated traffic on the interface that is connected to the outside (except for SSH) and not bothering what's going on on the interface connected to the local net.

Re: more FreeBSD and Debian Linux
Mike,
Thanks - I may not do *all* of this since I wd (as far as I can tell) have
to (re)compile the Linux kernel, which I haven't done yet ... I have heard
some indications that doing this (compiling) is not too awful in Debian
but I don't know whether I believe it :-)
One question tho: won't the system complain if I try to make more than one
partition bootable? I think I have bumbled around fdisk and tried to do
this a couple times, and it wouldn't go. I have a small boot partition,
the first one in my hd, which LILO lives in ...

When i had FreeBSD on my box with Debian, i found it somewhat useful
to be able to mount the BSD partition from Debian and be able to read the BSD
files. So if your Debian kernel has filesystem UFS and BSD disklabel set you
can do this.
Now BSD installs on multiple slices("partitions") into one partition.
If possible make this the last partition on your drive. When you list your
partitions you'll see that BSD slices show up as extra "partitions".
So if you set up your drive with 4 partitions including one
BSD partition of 4 slices you get: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4
IIRC the BSD partition in lilo.conf should also be marked bootable.
You can run most linux binaries in BSD if you set 'linux_enable=YES'
in rc.conf. and you can read the Debian partition if you compile a BSD kernel
with option for EXT2FS.

Wishlistitem: Place to look up Softwareproject <-> Debs packages that contain it
Being a debian user for some time, I am missing one place. I want to have a search on Softwareproject and it gives me the possible Debs, if there are any. (official ones) (you may say:) But that already exists somewhat, but there is no place where to post the apt-get resources, where I can find a special package. EG, it was hard for me to locate pine, because it is not on the ftp server. On chance somebody posted what line I have to add to my source.list. It would be nice to have a databank that contains all that information. The query would look like this: package name (like a tar.gz name or title of an opensourceproject) and giving back: Either: a)lame (official package) (... info ... to it) lame (devel-packages) -> link to more information This wouls make it easy to locate daily snapshots. b)lame (unofficial package) (warning ... info on it) c)lame - sorry not available right now (please make a source install) The information for that has to be provided by the packager at some time. (but there could be some innovative way to update information) One more thing: it has to reveal information, where to post a bug to, or even better provide a bug form, where i can mak a official bug report. (you may say):Right now, there is that for every debian package. my opinion: yupp - but some of the bug-reports should be sent upstream and have nothing to do with debian way of packaging. I remember reading in the Debian-KDE-newsgroup, that you should not post kde related (not related to kde packaging) to kde.org (to many people did that obviously) I guess that could be also a wishlist bug against the bug tracking system, that it should contain a link to the upstream bugreport site.

gcj outputs C++ object files from the Java source. Then (unless you

C/C++). The problem is the linker can't find main.
int main( int argc , char** argv )

}
The solution is to tell gjc where main is:
gcj --main=MyJavaClassDefiningMain *.java
gcj will then run a script (installed with it) to spit out some C/C++
code with the appropriate main() function that will call the main you
defined in your Java class. If you give gcj the -c option it will
stop when it has produced C++ object files (.o). You can then link
them at the end.
gcj also has a -C option will tells it to output Java bytecodes
(.class) instead. These will then need some JVM (jre, kaffe, etc) to
run.

I guess that kjc is a shell script that tries to run a java program.
Apparently the main() function here is in the class "Main" in the

a CLASSPATH problem.

to make a whole collection of shell scripts that execute the proper
JVM (I have 1.1.8, 1.2.2, and 1.3 installed) with the proper classpath
stuff on the command line. For Sun's jdk, the "-classpath " option set the classpath. For jdk1.1.8
classes.zip must be listed in the option, for jdk1.2+ rt.jar is found
automagically (but tools.jar must be included to use ant -- a make
replacement for java devel).
The funny thing is the classpath must be in DOS/Windows format (with
d:, etc and semicolons as the separator) but I use cygwin's bash for
my shell. I always have to put the path list in quotes and escape all
the backslashes. It's quite a pain. Why did MS have to use the
escape character for the directory separator? POSIX paths are much
easier to deal with IMO.

gphoto, gimp-print
I'm thinking of getting a better digi-cam. I now have an Olympus D340R that works very nicely under gphoto. I'd like to get a 2 or 3 mega pixel camera with a zoom lens. I'm considering the Nikon coolpix 800, 880, 950 or 990 and the olympus D490, C2020, C3000 , C3030 or C3040 models. The olympus D450 model is listed as working under gphoto and so is the D3000 (think they meant C3000) so with luck the other models mentioned should work as well. The Nikon coolpix 950 and 800 models are listed so maybe the others are as well. Can anyone confirm which of these cameras will work under gphoto? Also what is happening to gphoto? Seems like the web site hasn't been updated in almost a year and the download link for the latest sw is broken. Hope development is continuing. Also I have downloaded the printer module for gimp-print from their website to use an Epson photo-750 printer. Any advise on how to add an entry to printcap for this (printing through LPD). I currently have an HP LJIIID running as lp (lp0?) and will either add the epson on a second printer port, or have it share the one with the LJ via an AB switch. I understand that the linux LP drivers don't use interrupts so I could share an interrupt level between two printer cards right?

Bash Scripting
hi all i need a little help on a script. the following scripts function is to merge several parts of a html page together and insert a new piece of text from text.txt also it has to replace some words (the title, author, submittor, and date) with the words given at prompt. - #!/bin/bash echo Please give the title, author, submittor, date and filename read TITLE AUTHOR SUBMITTOR DATE FILENAME cat top.html >> file.txt && sed 's/Title/$TITLE/' title.html >> file.txt && sed 's/Author/$AUTHOR/' author.html >> file.txt && sed 's/SM/$SUBMITTOR/' submittor.html >> file.txt && cat text.txt >> file.txt && sed 's/Date/$DATE/' bottom.html >> file.txt && mv file.txt new_$FILENAME.html - (i'm aware that its crude and basic, but i'm not familar with scripting for bash though i'm working through the HOWTO) the problem is that the variables TITLE AUTHOR SUBMITTOR DATE are not replaced with the inputted values, where as FILENAME is so i must have the synax wrong the "/"s perhaps?

XFree86 4.02 eating CPU
Hi! Just upgraded to XFree86 4.02 (with a little trouble) on my woody-box (Linux 2.4.1). After using it a while I noticed that while playing a mp3 and scrolling the Netscape-window the sound from the mp3 got distorted. I thought this was very strange cause I've never experienced anything like this on this machine (Dual Celeron 533). Then I ran "top" a saw that the process "X" had a nicevalue of -10. The processes state was marked as "S<" (which is High Priority Process). I asked a friend who is also using XFree86 4.02 and he had a nice-value of 0. Have anyone experienced the same. Any suggestions? TIA! /Reine

more FreeBSD and Debian Linux
All, Here is the basic (e.g. no details) list I've put together for installing FreeBSD next to Debian. My emphasis at this point is not winding up with a system which will not boot and/or on which my Debian install becomes unusable. My impulse is to jump in, but I'd rather be prepared. Can anyone tell me if there are colossal holes here? 1. create BSD partition with GNU Parted 2. add BSD entry to lilo.conf 3. copy FreeBSD boot floppy images to disks 4. reboot using FreeBSD boot floppies 5. install FreeBSD via FTP 6. reboot, enjoy! I hope this isn't too OT for the list. My interest with this is largely self-teaching - that is, I'd like to get paid to work with this stuff one (fine, distant?) day, and the more 'flavors' I know, the better.

Re: OT: new Nvidia drivers released
Yes, the Nvidia driver _needs_ Xfree 4. I don't know for sure about running X4 w/ potato, but I think that at least some packages will need to be upgraded, browse the archives I think I heard things about it... Anyway, if you're ready for a big update the debian way is to point apt-get to testing and to apt-get task-x-window-system-core which should download and set everything up fine. The one problem I had was that /usr/bin/X11/X didn't point to /usr/bin/X11/XFree86 , but was rather the old executable 3.3.6 I'm not sure that it has been settled, so I mention it in case startx acts funny.

I guess I have to copy those too, hmm? From where > to where? Is there anything else I should worry about? I think most people will suggest you use the "make-kpkg" utility. It will create a "*.deb" file which you can copy to the laptop. Then just "dpkg --install kernel-package-custom.deb" and it will install things where they need to go. You could do what you want by hand, but the above is likely the easiest way. Hall

Uh, you don't need libc6-dev in order to build the linux kernel (well, you do need it for the ncurses config interface, and the small makedep program it builds, but the kernel itself does not need libc6-dev at all). I put forth that you have screwed your system royally by trying to force packages to be installed. The way to fix this, download the libc6, libc6-dev and ldso packages from potato, and do this: dpkg --force-depends -i libc6.deb libc6-dev.deb ldso.deb Next time leave well enough alone, or rely on a UI (such as apt or dselect) to handle these things :) -- ---===-=-==-=---==-=-- / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=--===-=-=-=-===-==---=--=---'

That's a shortcoming in this particular module. The basic idea is that pam_unix.so will auth under two circumstances. One, running with privs to read /etc/shadow (such as root, or sgid shadow), in which it can directly auth. This is how login, su and passwd work. The other method is for it to execute the helper application. This is done when the current process does not have permissions to read /etc/shadow (such as lockvt, apache, etc..). The problem here is that the helper application, for security reasons, will only authenticate the uid of the calling process. In the case of apache, that user would be "www-data". So you see, it cannot authenticate for say "joe". I'm pretty sure the mod_auth_pam docs mention this, and possible workarounds. -- ---===-=-==-=---==-=-- / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=--===-=-=-=-===-==---=--=---'
