Re:New Install
I was able to install 2.2rev2 on my system. Leaving the line blank for the "...Debian Archive Path" worked fine. Although, that was not the problem. It appears that the install process skipped formatting the drive. Since this is my first time installing Debian, I am not sure the exact cause. When I went through the "Install Operating System Kernal and Modules" phase the first time the system seemed to be stuck in a loop wanting to repeat the phase over again. I then picked the "Previous..." option which formatted the partitions and was then able to complete the install. Kevin
Programs in /usr/local/ and `apt-get'
Hello, I have put a more recent version of WINE and a copy of Netscape4 from the Netscape site onto my otherwise, strict potato system. I had various reasons for doing this and put both packages into the /usr/local/ hierarchy. I would like to let `apt-get' know two things: (1) Don't muck with with WINE and Netscape, and (2) That it can download other packages that depend on WINE or Netscape.

ProFTPd and Passive mode weirdness.
I have two Potato boxes, upgraded to 2.2r2. Both of them are running proftpd 1.2.0pre10-2 with the same config file. Now, the problem is: The first server's ftp can be reached without problem from everywhere, even from behind a firewall or an ip-masq machine. However the second one needs to have clients working in passive mode if they are behind a firewall or an ip-masq machine. This is weird to begin with. Anyway, I downloaded proftpd 1.2.1 which is supposed to correct the passive mode stuff and it still don't work. Anybody have any ideas about what could be causing this? I am not subscribed to the proftpd list so please cc me. -- __ Daniel de los Reyes S2-Selling Soluciones Valencia Spain e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by Debian GNU-Linux 2.2r2 __

In fact, if I type an accented char in gnome-terminal, it IS displayed. I checked the font, and it supports french accents (even euro). But when I get an error displayed by, say, apt-get, accented characters are replaced by ? in the output. > > If gnome-terminal is the odd man out, I'd start focussing on it.

(just a feeling) Font for sawfish is fr_FR ISO-8859-15 compliant too... So it should display ok. Well, I gess I will do without it, until some magic (or a lucky apt-get upgrade) makes it work again !! (it used to work on my machine...) (unless you have another idea !) Thank you again. Franck

Re: Booting from SCSI when there is IDE
Hi Russell! I have three VIA KT-based Duron servers. One of them has an Adaptec 29160 card wirh an external IDE-to-SCSI (that means the three 40 GB drives are IDE, but it behaves as if it were a 80 GB (Raid 5) SCSI harddisk) RAID attached to it and two internal IDE drives (each 20 GB). When we first installed Debian (2.2r0), we did this into a /boot and a / partition on the SCSI drive, while the two internal drives were attached (each as master on ide 0 and 1). First, it wouldn´t boot, but the lilo.conf manualpage and an old SUSE handbook told us, that we had to remap the drives. Here is what we entered into lilo.conf: disk = /dev/sda bios = 0x80 disk = /dev/hda bios = 0x81 disk = /dev/hdc bios = 0x82 Boot device (boot = ) was /dev/sda1. Worked like a breeze, but we now boot from software raid 1 devices on the two ide disks (boot=/dev/md1, root = /dev/md2). Even this works with lilo, but only for raid 1.

Weird sound problem
Hi All @[EMAIL PROTECTED] it but my sound has died. All was working fine yesterday, then I updated my (woody) system and now all is silent. I am using alsa and gnome. Everything _looks_ okay--modules loaded, esd running, volume up--just no sound. The only thing that I have noticed is that when I boot I get the following message: snd: cs461x: powerup ADC failed snd: cs461x: powerup DAC failed that I don't remember seeing before.

Has anybody used a Mylex Acceleraid 352 card with a Debian potato ?
Hi, I would like to buy an Acceleraid 352 card from Mylex for a database server. Mylex provides source code drivers for Linux 2.2.X and 2.4.X, so it should work perfectly with Debian. Before buying the card, I would like to be sure. So has anybody installed such a card on his Debian server ? TIA Romain Guilleret

D-Link DFE-530-TX NIC install probs.
I hope that this is the right list for a question like this. Please forgive the newbie if not. I'm having problems getting my D-Link DFE-530-TX network card to work with Debian. I've seen a few posts on this subject on various mailing list archives (including this one) so am pretty sure my card need the via-rhine.o module, but during troubleshooting I've also tried the rtl8319.o and tulip.o modules. When installing the same card in Windows 98 (the same computer dual boots using LILO) I found that the driver downloaded from the US D-Link site (www.dlink.com) wouldn't work - I had to download a driver from the UK site, www.dlink.co.uk instead. This made me wonder if my card is a different regional version or something. The UK site also allowed me to download a driver but it turned out to be source code and I'm still a bit new and I don't think I've got the right packages installed to compile them. Here's all the information I got when troubleshooting. the command modprobe via-rhine gives something like /lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/net/via-rhine.o : Init_module : device or resource busy Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. /lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/net/via-rhine.o : insmod /lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/net/via-rhine.o failed the command lspci -v gave (first couple of lines) 00:0d.0 Ethernet controller : VIA Technologies, iNc. : Unknown device 3065 (rev 42) Subsystem : D-Link System Inc : Unknown device 1400.

kerneld error message on startup
After compiling a kernel (2.2.17) for the first time, I received a startup message indicating that I was using kerneld and almost certainly didn't want to. I don't know how I turned it on, so I don't know how to turn it off. I have enabled kmod in the kernel, but don't understand how to set it up from Documentation/kmod.txt (refers to a directory that doesn't exist in my setup). All this should be academic, since I'm actually not using modules at all, but I'd like to get rid of the error message. Thanks, Keith
AWE 32 not recognized
After compiling a kernel (2.2.17) for the first time, the startup sequence initialized Soundblaster at io 220 and 330, irq 1 and 5 (which is what it runs at under Windows), but then said "AWE 32 not recognized." I still don't have sound. (Compiled SB and PNP into the kernel.) I'm trying to avoid using isapnp tools, because I understand that they have trouble with AWE 32 anyway, and on an earlier attempt, pnpdump didn't recognize my sound card at all. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Keith
unresolved symbols error messages on startup
After compiling a kernel (2.2.17) for the first time, I received a string of error messages on module autodetect: "Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules " (lists several modules). I don't have any modules compiled into the kernel (although I do have the possibility of module dependency enabled). I did run make modules and make modules_install anyway, hoping that that would resolve the problem, but it had no effect. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Keith
Re: unresolved symbols error messages on startup
Go where your modules are (you will see where they are from your error messages) and remove them from there You have probably compilled another kernel before and they are left there Ross

It's calling close on a non-existent file handle. Looks like there's an execution path where the communicate method is never called to create it. This is definitely a bug.

qmail logging (and in which package is accustamp)
Having replaced exim with qmail yesterday, I'd like to deal with the loggin issues, since qmail's logging is quite verbose. I notice that it logs seemingly identical information to all of the: /var/log/syslog /var/log/mail.info /var/log/mail.log and it logs identical error messages to both: /var/log/mail.warn /var/log/mail.err I find this to be a bit excessive. A look at /etc/init.d/qmail shows three options of handling the logging, the default one being the one that produces all this stuff. What are you guys using to keep the mail logs sane? Also, one of the options offers to pipe the logging info through `accustamp' program. I cannot find in which package the program is. A google search reveals that it comes as part of `qmailanalog' package, but it seems that this one is not available as a deb or a deb-src package (correct me if I'm wrong). p.s. Why is the default configuration of a newly-installed qmail (from package) TOTALLY EMPTY? Not even a "me" file: qmail-send refuses to start without it. Also, anyone know why the auto-configuration scripts that come with qmail distribution are excluded from the package? They are referenced to all over the documentation...

Specifically, any and all firewall rules that you have set up on the router(to get a list, run 'ipchains -L -n'). If you could attach whatever scripts the floppyfw uses to set up the firewall, that would be ideal. Also, you might consider going with a full-featured router-on-a-floppy distribution. the LRP(Linux Router Project) is good.

If you have a default policy of ACCEPT for all (bad idea) a DNAT rule in the PREROUTING chain of the nat table and enabling forwarding in the kernel by: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward would suffice.

Lexmark Z52 support
Just thought I'd share some information on how to get lexmark z52 working (in case someone is wondering). I just bought it a week a go for it's Linux support(limited to distros that use rpm) and struggled few days to get it working with debian. Anyways, here's what I did.. Initial installation didn't do much. I converted it to debian with alien and installed that and, well, nothing really worked. There was a program called lexmarkz52 installed that would just segfault. I ended up installing with rpm since it didn't really conflict with anything but still nothing worked.. Using gdb revealed that lexmarkz52-program crashed when it vas calling vdk. A little check on the package contents revealed that it came with it's own set of vdk libs placed in /usr/local/lib/. It seems to want exactly version 1.2.0 since using 1.1.8 or 1.2.5 wouldn't work. Even though it requires version 1.x.x. So.. cd /usr/local/lexmark/z52 mv lexmarkz52 lexmarkz52.old Make a small script named lexmarkz52 as follows: #!/bin/sh LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lexmark/z52/lexmarkz52.old #end script Now when you type lexmarkz52 you get a nice control program that unfortunately does nothing useful as the devices are not set up properly.. Next you need to configure lpr: You need two printer entries, one for raw data and one that is filtered.. The one that is raw data needs to be called z52-outfiles. This is where the control program will send raw printer data to configure the printer(actually these are just files in /usr/local/lexmark/z52-dir). A good way to see if your printer is working is cat /usr/local/lexmark/z52/lxactstc.out > /dev/lp0 (or whatever your printer device is). Should print a nice color logo. Filtered printer entry can be called whatever you like. You just need to specify /usr/local/lexmark/z52/z52.sh as the input filter. Now you can print ps, pdf and text files using your z52 at up to 2400x1200dpi. Latest gimp works great with postscript driver.. I've noticed that in gimp with a display gamma of 2.5 you need to set the printer gamma to about 1.6 to match the brightness of display.. This does depend a little on the picture though so before using those glossy photo-papers you might want to make copy on a regular paper in a smaller size.. Control program (lexmarkz52) is used to set the paper size, type and print resolution. It is also used for installing new cartridges, aligning cartridges, etc.. That's about it.. - Juha

A useful tool!
After installing and removing packages, again and again, I am sure I have multiple packages which were installed to satisfy dependencies and which are currently doing nothing but occupying disk space. Wouldn't it be nice if there was software which could look at all your installed packages and tell you if there are some which can be safely removed without affecting anything else??? In fact, it would be great if it could also show you a list of what dependencies a given package satisfies and maybe generate tabular output with packages sorted based on whether they satisfy 0 dependencies, 1 dependency, 2 dependencies etc. etc. Is there a way to do this??? Am I the only one who thinks it would be useful??? If I could write code I'd probably do it myself Mino

Re: Locking propigation probelm samba to netatalk & netatalk to samba
This is the type of information many of us have been looking for with respect to Netatalk and Samba coexisting in a "friendly" matter. Many of the replies I received when originally asking whether the two behaved together basically stated that the biggest problem was a Windows user and a Netatalk user accessing the same file at the same time. Some of the other comments regarding Samba and Netatalk being used on the same share... Sorry about the long post, but this is pretty important to a lot of people. - I've been doing this for awhile. I have a stable netatalk/samba server at netatalk 1.4b2+asun. No trouble; unless my users aren't telling me. Read the mailing lists - there a --with-netatalk config time option (not in the build docs that I could see, but it was covered on the mailing list IIRC). --with-netatalk is currently an experimental hack, if I remember, it forces samba to move the .AppleDouble entries if a PC user moves files around from the PC (so as not to pooch appleshare side stuff). Don't know how reliable it is, I only included that option on the most recent server I config'd and it hasn't been tested thoroughly yet. - I've been researching this for a while, and the biggest problem I've seen is incompatible locking. Simultaneously opening a datafile from both a Samba connected PC and a Netatalk connected Mac can cause strange things to happen if they both try to modify the file. There are no errors, and the file can easily be corrupted. AFAIK the --with-netatalk in Samba does nothing. Unless something has been changed recently, it was a feature that was never finished. The two seem to co-exist together pretty well. Rich made a few valid points with .AppleDouble files. However, there is one thing that you may want to bring up in regards to Windows and Linux users. You need to let them know that they can't create files greater than 32 characters or the Mac users won't be a able to see them. And you will get holy hell from your Mac users when they call you and day "Bob said that he put the file on the server, but I can't see it, is the server broken?" So, you may need to do some social engineering with your Windows and Linux users to make sure that they understand the limitation. They will forget about it anyway, so make sure you have them sign something. :-) Can you tell I've been an Admin for way too long? There is some sort of enable-netatalk-compatibility (or something similar to that) option in Samba which is supposed to, I repeat *supposed to* make it easier for netatalk to understand the file types. But I've never tried it and I've heard some say that it doesn't work and they can't figure out what that feature is supposed to be for. Might be worth investigating, though. On the other hand I had the oportunity to look pretty deep into samba's mechanisms and I never heard or read about any "netatalk compatibility" option though. So personnaly I would say go for it, but make sure of two things to avoid mac users coming at you complaining about generic icons and apps not launching: - first have your .AppleVolumes.system up to date so files coming from a PC (and without resources fork) are seen properly on macs. The .AppleVolume.system does that by "telling" files to assume such or such mac-identity according to their file extension. -second, you will have to somehow get the mac users into the habit of naming their files with an extension, so that they are seen properly on windows stations. And this is not easy, let me tell you that! Make sure that you're running a version of netatalk that has working codepage support (the current snapshots are broken in this regard, AFAIK) if you want your users to use German umlauts and such in their filenames. Then you need to configure both Samba and Netatalk to use the same codepage. Current versions also have a mswindows options which disallows the creation of filenames containing the characters /\:*?"<>| which the PC can't deal with (my PC actually crashes when trying to access a file containing ':' that was created on the Mac). I'm still looking for a version of Netatalk that has _both_ working codepage support and a working mswindows option . . . which would really resolve all the problems we've had. The locking issue is another matter (see below in this thread). Interestingly, we haven't come across a single incident of this being a problem in about 6 months of running Netatalk/Samba in a Network with 10 Macs and 5 PCs. - Albeit better than the NON-EXISTANCE of shared locking between Samba/Netatalk (although the new Samba has a locking API, so theoretically any program can use its locking API to "stay safe" with Samba), NT/2k still do not lock well between the two platforms. There is no way to lock parts of a file, and write-locks don't exist, so both plats can simultaneously write to the same file and possibly corrupt it horribly. To make Samba and Netata

Although there are debian packages available, in my limited experience they do not install anywhere near as nicely as the RPM's.

strange problem with squid and isdn
I have an internet gateway that runs squid and acts as an ISDN router, i.e. isdn runs in auto mode and opens up the internet connection as soon as a package goes out. It worked well that way. But at some point it stopped. Well that is it still works well soemtimes and sometimes it don't. Interestingly the problems started when we switched to an different ISP. So what happens? The user starts his browser and directs it to a web page. The browser then asks squid for that web page and that's it. I see the squid connection being logged by ippl, but squid does not seem to do anything. There is no isdn connection being started. Once when I was on site I checked connectivity by pinging a machine and the router opened up the connection without a problem. Then I tried to shut down squid but /etc/init.d/squid stop failed. It printed lots of dots followed by "Failed". I had to manually kill squid. Needless to say everything was well again after restarting squid. The machine btw is up-to-date potato including security updates. Does anyone have an idea what might be going on? Thanks in advance for any help.

i should note that the first time i ran isapnp on my card it no longer
works UNLESS i do isapnp. specifying the module options doesn't work for
me anymore without isapnp(it used to). i believe i originally used isapnp
because i wanted to try out the awe part of my SB. it worked good. i have
8MB of ram on my card and have a 8MB soundfont..loaded it..played some of
my high quality midis ..they rocked..course only a couple programs(well i
think 1 - tkmidi ??) could do it..others locked up my system. i don't know
if isapnp affects it under win32 as i havent used win32 in years.

Both mirror and rsync provide reasonably options. I have tried both and ended up using rsync. Running rsync -atzvrl --progress --exclude-from exclude-list \ ftp..debian.org::debian . will mirror the entire debian tree provided the exclude-list is empty. You probably do not want to do this as you will end up with binaries for alpha, arm, hppa etc which you might not need. If you put the follwing in your exclude-file you will get what is appropriate for i386: Contents-alpha.gz Contents-arm.gz Contents-hppa.gz Contents-hurd-i386.gz Contents-ia64.gz Contents-m68k.gz Contents-mips.gz Contents-mipsel.gz Contents-powerpc.gz Contents-s390.gz Contents-sparc.gz binary-alpha/ binary-arm/ binary-hppa/ binary-hurd/ binary-hurd-i386/ binary-ia64/ binary-m68k/ binary-mips/ binary-mipsel/ binary-powerpc/ binary-s390/ binary-sparc/ disks-alpha/ disks-arm/ disks-m68k/ disks-powerpc/ disks-sparc/ *alpha.deb *arm.deb *hurd-i386.deb *ia64.deb *m68k.deb *mips.deb *powerpc.deb *sparc.deb *alpha.udeb *arm.udeb *hurd-i386.udeb *ia64.udeb *m68k.udeb *mips.udeb *powerpc.udeb *sparc.udeb *alpha.changes *arm.changes *hurd-i386.changes *ia64.changes *m68k.changes *mips.changes *powerpc.changes *sparc.changes Currently this will give you around 10GB of data, and a daily update will transfer 50-100MB. To use your local mirror for upgrading you can either export the mirror directory with nfs and insert the appropriate file: lines in sources.list or you can set up anonymous ftp om the mirror box so that the debian mirror appears under debian and put a ftp: line in the sources.list file. > Thanks for the info > > Sven > You're welcome.

If so can you make it boot from > SCSI? Depending on the BIOS, you may be able to use this trick: In the BIOS, disable the IDE drives. The BIOS will boot from the SCSI HBA. Linux _will_ see the IDE drive and allow you to use it. I have one system set up this way (but it's 250 miles away from me unfortunately). FWIW I don't think BIOS issues qualify as a LILO bug. -- Nathan Norman - Staff Engineer | A good plan today is better Micromuse Inc. | than a perfect plan tomorrow. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | -- Patton pgpiwihmbo5s3.pgp Description: PGP signature
