Installation Problems
H. I think I made some progress. Usually, my filesystem wouldn't mount. This time, using loadlin linux root=/dev/ram initrd=root.bin disksize=1.44 (linux is my linux kernel) (all the files are on c:\, a dos partition) the kernel booted fine but then ended with " Partition check: hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 < hda5 hda6 hda7 > RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 invalid compressed format (err=2)<6>apm: BIOS version 1.1 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.13) apm: disabled on user request.

I tried loadlin linux root=/dev/ram initrd=root.bin disksize=1.44 init=single as described in http://www.ibiblio.org/mdw/HOWTO/BootPrompt-HOWTO-2.html#ss2.6, the kernel image was loaded, but loadlin then reported " can't open image file for initrd". What should I do? Besides, how come there is no kernel panic because of the "invalid compressed format (err=2)" ? Derek

Hrmm, I know the Linux end supports tunneling protocols; but it's been so long since I used Windows that I'm not certain it can yet. I seem to remember something about a 'Microsoft Virtual Network Adapter' that did it; Is there a linux box where the Windows machine is?

Ok, i managed to get farther in cups, and managed to configure cups for my printer.

iptables and 2.4.4 kernel in testing
Folks, I'm trying to build a firewall using the 2.4.4 kernel and iptables. The kernel seems to configure and build without problems, but when I try to run iptables to specify a rule I get a message like: modprobe: Can't locate module ip_tables iptables v1.2.2: can't initialize iptables table `nat': iptables who? (do you ne ed to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. I have a two difficulties interpreting this message: iptables is not a dynamically loadable module in 2.4.4 but is compiled in; no modules were built at all for my 2.4.4 kernel. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get iptables working with this kernel? I'd also appreciate some pointers on getting the protocol masquerading modules to compile in statically to the kernel (I dislike and distrust dynamically loadable kernel modules for reasons I don't need to get into here).

Having recently got round to using screen I know that cutting and pasting between a virtual console and X can be done with it. A console session can be detached (screen -rd) and imported to X. Then you can copy and cut from that session. Personally, I think it is an excellent program even if used solely on the console. And there is a Debian package of it. Brian.

I want to make a Debian friendly box.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this. I have an old IBM Aptiva M71 with a NEC XV15 monitor that I am going to upgrade for use with linux, preferably the Debian Distribution. This means maxing out the RAM to 128 and getting rid of the mwave sound/modem card and installing a new video card. The cards I'm considering to replace the mwave are the ATI Xpert 128 pci card for video and the Soundblaster AWE64 ISA card for sound. I've read the documentation for the cards currently supported by the latest release of Debian, both cards are supported. What I am looking for is a person who actually has either of these cards in their system or has experience installing them under linux. I would like to find out if they are happy with how the cards performed with linux, if the cards were a pain in the butt to get to work properly, that sort of thing. The functions this PC will be performing when it is up and running will be to play games and web browsing. I know, light weight and trivial jobs for a linux box but I need something that won't crash every five minutes and that kids can't accidentally delete an important system file and make the computer unusable. P.S. Price of the cards is a major issue, although I'm sure their are cards out there that give better performance and work better under linux.

Hello, I have a problem with squid (2.4.1-5) seemingly ignoring the '-D' during the startup. When booting, squid dies because it cannot find nameservers (of course! I'm on a dial-up!), despite being told (per man page) to "disable initial DNS tests" with the '-D' option. Any suggestions? --ET. _ Do You Yahoo!?

ANSWER: how to add extra chat options in pppconfig
Hi, I accidently deleted the post this answers (oops). Someone needed to add some more chattiness after connectig to their ISP to select PPP rather than SLIP or some other things... After going through the regular set up, it shows what you've selected for connection settings and allows you to change them if you mistyped. It also has an "Advanced Options" option. Select this Then "Post-Login" from the menu it presents. It explains itself pretty well. You can add as many extra expect-send pairs as you need here. Hope the right person reads this :) -Jon

Yeah, basically you never want to use the header files in /usr/include/linux, since they correspond to the header files used when libc was built, not necessarily to any kernel that you're actually using. The way I'd recommend you do things: -- Get kernel source from somewhere (e.g. ftp.kernel.org). Unpack it anywhere (I tend to use /usr/local/src/kernel-source-2.4.4-foo where foo is the name of the machine I'm compiling for, but this is irrelevant). -- Install the module source packages you care about. Most of those these days leave tar files in /usr/src; untar those too. -- 'apt-get install kernel-package'. It's a good idea to read its documentation. -- cd to the top-level directory of the kernel source. Run your favorite variation on 'make config'. -- Run 'fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=dzm.1 buildpackage' to build the kernel. -- Run 'fakeroot make-kpkg modules' to build modules. This leaves you with a bunch of Debian packages in your parent directory.

Re. Total Confusion
More answers. when I ran ismod parport, the response was "ismod command not found". I ran pppconfig in the standard way, ending with the write and finish command.I then ran pon and got (it is verbose): ioctl(TIOCSETUP):Invalid argument (22) /usr/bin/ppp: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be because the PPP kernel module could not be loaded or because PPP was not included in the kernel configuration:If PPP was included as a module try '/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'. If that fails check t (It ended there) I then ran apt-get install ppp with the response, "Sorry, ppp is already the newest version". I then tried the /sbin/mod... and had the same unsuccessful result as before. I have yet to try the latest suggestion about the kernel. But, I am having the same trouble with Redhat, which is mounted on a separate partition of the computer. It seems unlikely that they both have kernel problems. I even thought that somehow the fact that they both used the same swap partition could be the cause. However, then why would the printer work with Redhat but not Debian? I would like to respond faster, but I have to communicate with Windows, then switch to Debian to try suggestions. Thanks for all the help.

This is the real problem, and is a very good reason not to block IP addresses based on a portscan. Very few large scale sites do anything of the sort. It is trivial to spoof the source address of a portscan, allowing one to cause your machine to block access from your nameservers or your clients or other important sites. I recommend using ippl or the ipchains/iptables based logging facilities in place of portsentry. They don't necessitate having a service actually listening on unused ports. noah -- ___ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html pgpSVupFsiKbz.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Installation Problems
Margarete Hans wrote: I assume that no one responded to my original message because it was in rich text format so here it is again - hopefully in plain text this time. I tried installing Debian Potato, vanilla flavor, with floppies on a COMPAQ laptop, Contura 400C. It has 20480 KB RAM, of wich 4 MB are on the System Board and 16 MB are part of an Expansion Module, an SL enhanced 486DX2 processor at 40 MHz, an integrated 387-Compatible coprocessor; I have a primary DOS FAT-16 partition (410MB), a primary Linux partition (50MB)(unformatted) and and expanded partition with two other unformatted Linux partitions(70MB and 210MB). The partitions were made with Partition Manager, a very basic DOS-utility. I downloaded the disk images with DownloadAccelerator. How did you create the disks? Did you use rawrite2, or did you have DownloadAccelerator save the images directly to the diskettes? You need to use rawrite2. Upon inserting the rescue disk and rebooting, it checked the RAM, accessessed the floppy and then simply stopped. The curser was on the top row, blinking. I retried it a couple of times, rawriting it on different floppies each time. I then tried it on my primary computer (DELL Pentium 166, 32MB RAM, AMIBIOS version A10 by Americanmegatrends, one 3GB FAT-32 Win95 partition). The same thing happened. I assumed that the problem was that the file was corrupted. I redownloaded the disk image. This time, on both computers, I got a message that the floppy is "not a bootable disk". I redownloaded it a third time from a different server, with the same result as the second on both computers. I tried the Compact flavor. The rescue disk worked fine on both computers, but upon inserting the root image disk, I got a message "invalid compressed format (err=1)<5>VFS: insert root floppy and press ENTER". Upon hitting enter, without changing disk, there is some obscure code repeated twice and then a "Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 2:00 ide0: unexpected interrupt, status=0x80, count=1". I tried downloading the compact root twice, rawrote it onto different disks and tried it on both computers with the same results. I have no new ideas of what to try next. What should I do? Derek

It was during this installation that I added the modules parport, etc. . The message at the time of installation was "installation successful". So does that mean your printer is working now? If not, does the echo test work from DOS (not DOS in Windows, but plain DOS)? If it doesn't, I'd have to ask the obvious question, is it a Win-Printer? (Probably not since you say below that you've used earlier versions of Debian and therefore would know about this issue.) I have successfully installed and used earlier versions of Debian and am familiar with pppconfig. I know that I am connected because the log says so. I also have an external, U.S. Robotics, 56K modem, which lights up and used to work with any version of linux that I tried, not only Debian and Redhat, but Mandrake, and others. I'd try another modem, just to test. It may be that a lightning strike or something may have damaged the modem so that it doesn't work properly for ppp although it connects fine. Sure it's rare, but it's worth trying. Did your ISP rep use your modem or his to dial out with his Redhat? I have the2.2.r3 version of Debian. The full kernel description is 2.0.38-2.0.38-3. Even though there has been no break through yet, I appreciate all suggestions.

The reason is simple: These packages are buggy; they should never overwrite user-customized data with their own without asking. That said, the console-* packages in unstable allow you to tell them NOT to touch the keyboard maps anymore on upgrade. > This is what I want to do with the console key map: have my own file > with _only_ the changes, not the entire keymap. Request this feature to be added using a wishlist bug and filling it through the Debian BTS. Do notice that the keyboard map would need to be reset when an user logs out; otherwise, we'd have a security hazard. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

Normal I use -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-200-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1 for my xterms which looks real nice but if I jack the size up close to what the size is on my console the font gets all grainy. I don't remember exactly what resolution I run in console but it is higher than the default. Somewhere in the middle vga=4. So my next question is, What are some of the fonts you guys run that are "console size" but still look nice in an xterm?

Re: Re. Total confusion
Sidney Brooks wrote: More information. I have tried minicom, kppp, gnome -ppp, wvdial, and pppconfig. They all dial and get connected to my ISP. None get me on to the internet. So, when you use minicom, you can dial-out (assuming you have volume up, you hear dialtone, and then dialing tones, and then screeching, and then see on the screen stuff like "Username:" and "Password:") and you can enter your username and password from your ISP and it then says something like "Connected at 43,900" and then see a bunch of random characters start spewing on the screen? If that is the case, the problem is probably not with the modem or dialing or account, but with the pppd daemon-type stuff. What does wvdial report? What does plog report when you use pppconfig/pon/poff? As for my printer problem, I think that the facts that the printer is absent from dmesg and the "echo" test failed, shows that higher programs like magicfilter are not the cure and /etc/printcap doesn't matter. Printers, arghgh! It acts like some weird failure in the machine architecture. I am suspicious of the BIOS settings, but can find nothing to change. IIRC, you said that the printer worked in Redhat, but you couldn't get dialed up in either Redhat or Debian. Do you perhaps have another modem you could use just for testing, even if it's an old slow one? It's worth trying.

Re: Re. Total Confusion
Sidney, Sorry this has been such a pain for you. I think, though, that you need to systematize your attempts to get it working. Going back to square one was a reasonable idea. But it would help to have the actual output of the commands and logs you refer to, rather than just your memory of them. For example, can you post the answers to these: Re: your PPP connection: - You say you know you're connected "because the log says so." Which log? What does it say? - Once connected, what is the output of: ifconfig -a : what network interfaces are connected route -n : how your computer expects to send packets out nslookup www.debian.org : can your computer resolve a domain name? ping 198.186.203.20 : can you reach www.debian.org? - Recognize that minicom is in no way related to PPP, except that they both (sometimes) use serial ports. My guess, from what you've said, is that you're able to establish a modem connection but not a PPP link, which suggests that you need to change the authentication process: pap, chap, chat, etc. pppconfig will certainly be your friend if that's the case. Re: your printer: I know less about this than about PPP, but: - Do you have anything in /proc/parport? Mine (which works fine) has: nujoma:/proc/parport> ls -lR .: total 0 dr-xr-xr-x2 root root0 Jun 2 09:47 0 ./0: total 0 -r--r--r--1 root root0 Jun 2 09:47 autoprobe -r--r--r--1 root root0 Jun 2 09:47 devices -r--r--r--1 root root0 Jun 2 09:47 hardware -rw-r--r--1 root root0 Jun 2 09:47 irq - What's the output of cat /proc/ioports? Re: your kernel: I know even less about this. But I do know that I'm running 2.2r0 (haven't had a chance to upgrade) and my kernel is 2.2.17: nujoma:/proc> uname -a Linux nujoma 2.2.17 #1 Sun Jun 25 09:24:41 EST 2000 i586 unknown so I'm wondering if there's something fishy with your kernel.

If you are using an > x86 Linux system, the left Alt is also Meta (So type Alt-x tutorial). Depends on keyboard settings in your Xf86Config file. If you've got (for XFree86 v3) the following setting, XkbKeymap "xfree86(us_microsoft)" then the plastic bumps labeled `alt' generate the `alt' keysym, but the plastic bumps with the windows logo generate the `meta' keysym (and appropriate modifier bits). In any case, it's configurable; see xmodmap(1) or xkeycaps(1). (I'd also point out that this is an X issue, not an emacs issue.) > If you are on a Windows box that is XHosting emacs running on Solaris > the Alt doesn't work -- the black diamond key on the Solaris keyboard > is Meta (same place as PC Alt). I haven't tried with any other > system, but I found that inconsistency (in OSes/hardware) to be rather > annoying. It's not a bug, it's a feature. xmodmap(1)/xkeycaps(1) allow you, the user, to adjust the keyboard to the way in which you work, rather than adjusting yourself to the way in which the computer works. For instance, I have the Microsoft Natural Elite keyboard, with the above setting in my XF86Config file. It's probably just what I'm used to, but I find the `alt' keys to be much more reachable than the windows keys during normal touch-typing, so I've set my xmodmaprc up to rebind those to meta instead of alt. Since I never actually use the alt keysym, I've left the windows keys unbound. Of the various X servers for Win32, I've only used Exceed's, but ISTR that it has an xmodmap-like tool with which you can configure the various extended keys. I'd imagine the other X servers have similar tools. Richard

Apparently, this happens when building packages where LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set somewhere during the build, see bug #98766. I guess the solution is to either downgrade fakeroot or go into the Makefile (or Makefile.in) of effected packages and edit them so that the old LD_LIBRARY_PATH included when they change to the new LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
