Re: XDM
a simple solution to prevent xdm from starting everytime you boot is to remove xdm from /etc/rc2.d. See, whenever linux boots it runs a script that causes the files in /etc/rcN.d where N is a number between 1 and 6 (called runlevels). Debian is set to runlevel 2 by default so by removing xdm from the directory executed in runlevel 2 you stop xdm from running at startup. This is a pretty crude way of doing it compared to some stuff that was discussed earlier this week, but its what i did and it works fine. (yea, that's exactly the same e-mail i sent earlier, but it applies here too, i think:)

Apt - Segmentation faulty Tree
Hi, I have been using apt-get for some time without trouble, however now (after doing update) when I go to install update,etc. I get this error Reading Package Lists... Done Segmentation faulty Tree... 50% Tried -f & it comes to same error. Anyone know of a way to fix this (had a prev. prob. with apt sources/list & spent 5 hours tracking down that I had (for reasons unknown) a newline (\n) right in the middle of lib2png, removed that & all has been fine for some time, however, now after doing an update I am left with this, does anyone know a way to test the packages lists prior to updating for errors, thereby avoiding these issues? (some sort of CRC comparison between the master & mirrors after the package has been moved across, not "on the fly" as such, to rule out errors on the mirror server) I know they should all be fine as they are mirrored from the master, however all it takes is one screw up & there goes apt-get.

Did you read at the end of exim.conf and chaper 6 and 32 of spec.txt.gz?
One simple idea is
[EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] T
or
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ${lookup{$1}lsearch*{/etc/email-addresses} {$value}fail} T
at the end of exim.conf should do it, I think.
Of course * entry should exist for /etc/email-addresses in second

fixing stairstepping text in cups
I'm trying to get my printer working with cups and I can add the queue with lpadmin, but when I try to print anything, each line that gets printed begins wherever the one above it left off (like there's a line feed but no carriage return). Does anyone know how to fix this? For the record, I've got a HP Deskjet 932C and I'm using the cdj880 filter but I get the same results no matter what filter I use...

Note that I was posting an alternative, the 'rm -- --remove-files'
solution is the one I'd generally recommend.
I'm trying to remember a trick (probably in O'Reilly's _UNIX Power
Tools_) for removing files by inode. Trying to remember what it was or
in what context it worked. I think it was for files with odd characters
which would be interpreted as argument seperators, not for files
beginning with a dash or double-dash.

If it weren't for the fact that "find" prefixes the name of the file

A simpler thing which does exactly the same thing (and surprisingly

DNS and BIND 8.2.3
I am using BIND8 trying to set up a DNS server (authoritative) for my domain (mpjcri.org). Linux v2.2.19. The network of two hosts are connected via a hub which is then connected to an Internet Router. I can ping all the hosts locally and distant sites. I can telnet in and out. But when I try to use my Netscape browser from my Mac host, I get stopped at the router and have to enter the username and password and then it takes me to the router setup page. What I want to do is go to my default web area /var/www which apache assigned. Let's see. I have set up /etc/bind/named.conf with zones for ".", "0.0.127..in-addr.arpa", "localhost", "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa", "mpjcri.org?, and "255.in-addr.arpa" When I use dig, I get authoritative answers from localhost when looking for localhost, I get a failure with mpjcri.org but then finds it through localhost. I have localhost and mpjcri.org as nameservers. I am trying to figure out why I can't reach my web server? Any help, guidance or tell me what other information would be helpful.

I'm also interested in encrypted filesystems and I think that the only way to go (reasonable one, that is) is to use the international kernel patch available at http://www.kerneli.org/. I'm so interested in those things that I'm considering myself making a deb package of that kernel (possibly with the IPSec or FreeS/WAN patch include also) and any additional utilities needed, as a sort of add-ons to Debian. I'm still only planning this, and I still have lots of things to learn, but perhaps this would make the international kernel patch more widely-used?

Digital camera and mount command
Hi, I'm trying to get my FujiFilm FinePix 1300 camera working on my pc. I went to www.linuxdoc.com where I found some info on how to read the SmartMedia. I have to have my kernel compiled with USB mass storage and scsi. The document also says that if these parameters are compiled in, I should beable to do a mount on the scsi. I beleave I have the USB compiled in my kernel. I'm using kernel 2.4.2 and my dmesg command shows this- usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs usb.c: registered new driver hub usb-ohci.c: USB OHCI at membase 0xd0856000, IRQ 10 usb-ohci.c: usb-00:07.4, Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-756 [Viper] USB usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 4 ports detected hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 2 usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x781/0x200) is not claimed by any active driver. I'm not sure if I have scsi compiled into the kernel tho. Could someone give me an example on how the mount command would look. What would you give the command for file type? Thanks. Wayne

Re: sshd
I'd guess that you're machine isn't able to do a reverse name lookup on the box you're coming from. Assuming this is the case, two options come to mind: 1) Add an entry in /etc/hosts for the client machine. This is only practical if it has a static IP address. 2) Modify /etc/hosts.deny, and change the "ALL: PARANOID" entry (assuming it exists) to "ALL EXCEPT sshd: PARANOID". Hope this helps!

new 2.1 install freezes during hardware detection
Hi, all... I've done 3 fresh Debian 2.1 installs from the GNU/Debian 2.1 CD (2.2.12 kernel) I have over the last few weeks and they all went fine, until my 4th machine, which freezes up during hardware detection of the install kernel. So far, I've tried disabling all the on-board stuff, including serial/parallel/USB (always had legacy audio disabled), but that didn't change the results. Next I am going to try removing all the cards except video and see if it would get through the boot, so I could get things running enough to compile a custom kernel. If that doesn't work, I'll make some boot/install floppies from one of the other boot/install images (and 2.2.r3 as well) to see if I have any better luck with that. So, I was wondering if there were any known issues with an Athlon 600 on the Asus K7M motherboard. The other cards in the machine are: - nVidia GeForce 2 MX (AGP) - SBLive sound card (one of the older ones) - linksys ethernet (was running fine in the previous Debian box I had it in until I moved it) Other hardware: - Creative 52x CD-ROM - Maxtor 20Gig HD I've successfully used all this hardware together in Win98, which I'm ready to fdisk out of existence, if I can get that far in the installation... :) I can be more specific with the error message, if needed, after I get home and look at my notes, but it looked like it detected my disks just fine, then a few lines later, there appears to be attempted detection of a controller of some kind, where it responds with something like "no port available" and then freezes up solid (needs a hard reset or power cord pulled). I'll keep working on it, but if anyone has any info for known issues with this kind of hardware, I'd appreciate hearing it. Thanks! -Chris

That's funny. Where I live DVD's are harder to find than VCD's. I still prefer VCD's because only a damaged disk can come between your buying/renting a movie and your watching it. With DVD's think DeCSS and region coding If all you want is "ripping and converting," the package you mentioned, vcdimager can rip MPEG1 data from VCD's, specifically the application /usr/bin/vcdxrip. dpkg -c vcdimager_0.7.9-1_i386.deb | grep /usr/bin drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2001-08-17 00:09:59 ./usr/bin/ -rwxr-xr-x root/root 99804 2001-08-17 00:09:59 ./usr/bin/vcdimager -rwxr-xr-x root/root117724 2001-08-17 00:09:59 ./usr/bin/vcddebug -rwxr-xr-x root/root125308 2001-08-17 00:09:59 ./usr/bin/vcdxbuild -rwxr-xr-x root/root105344 2001-08-17 00:09:59 ./usr/bin/vcdxgen -rwxr-xr-x root/root127964 2001-08-17 00:09:59 ./usr/bin/vcdxrip -rwxr-xr-x root/root 95724 2001-08-17 00:09:59 ./usr/bin/vcdxminfo You can then use a utility like mpgtx (package) to split the resulting MPEG1 file up. And create your own "Worst Of ..." compilation. Package: mpgtx Description: Toolbox to manipulate MPEG files (video, system, and audio) mpgtx is a tool to manipulate MPEG files. Its features include the following: . * mpgtx can currently split and join MPEG 1 video files and most MPEG audio files. * mpgtx can fetch detailed information from MPEG 1 and MPEG 2. * mpgtx can demultiplex MPEG 1 and MPEG 2 files (System layer, Program layer and Transport Layer). * mpgtx can add, remove and edit ID3 tags from mp3 files and rename mp3 files according to their ID3 tags. It reads and writes ID3v1, but only reads ID3v2. Now, if you're talking about encoding and real editing, that's another matter. If you're not averse to doing Windows, there's a slew of free and proprietary solutions to your problem.

As previously mentioned, du will summarize disk usage for you:
$ du -sx * | sort -nr | cat -n | head -20
...will rank the 20 largest files/directories in the current directory.
> adduser install
> ae install
<232 lines deleted>
You can verify a package's installed size with the dpkg -s command:
dpkg -s
The following script will grab all your installed packages and show
their installed size, sorted and ranked by size:
$ dpkg --get-selections |
grep ' install' |
awk '{print $1}' |
xargs -n 1 dpkg -s |
egrep '^(Package|Installed-Size):' |
awk '{printf( "%s: ", $2 ); getline; printf( "%s\n", $2 )}' |
sort -k2nr |
cat -n
This might prove useful in identifying larger packages. My own top 20
packages are:
1 xemacs21-basesupport: 34346
2 tetex-base: 30995
3 tetex-extra: 28701

Killing your keyb.controller... was: Re: forgot root password on head- and keyboardless machine *blush*
Just to add some more noice to the list ;-) [statement] Hot-plugging keyboards works _MOST_ of the time. It is true for at least PS/2-keyboard, since the only machine I've managed to destroy this way is an Digital Celebris 590. My other machines with PS/2 have survived, so for ps2 types the statement is true. When it comes to DIN-keyboards, I have NOT been able to kill any machine this way. Finaly, since I have one more Celebris 590 I _could_ verify that these machines DO die when keyboard is hot-swapped, but I think it might be a waste of computers if I succeed... ;-) Regards, Emil Btw.

If you use gnome, try 'firestarter'. It's just a gui-front end to ipchains/iptables. It obviously comes with some defaults that you're able to modify through the gui interface, but I don't know how strict or secure it starts out... It does create a 'script' that you can manipulate yourself once you get the hang of things. It's available here: http://firestarter.sourceforge.net/ If you use KDE, I'm sure there's something similar. Hall

Yes, dl'ing and installing woody directly would be great, if it would work. In fact, that is what I tried about a week ago, but I found, IIamC, apparently, a crucial file was missing, and thus that option is not at all possible. Perhaps I am wrong about this, but it seems that the "base" file is not present on the ftp site, and that without that file it is impossible to do a direct installation of testing. *** *** Looking in http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/disks-i386/current the "base" file is not present, whereas it is present in http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/ Also http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/README.txt mentions base2_2.tgz, whereas http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/disks-i386/current/README.txt doesn't. I am doing the install starting from floppies. This works for installing stable, using base2_2.tgz and drivers.tgz, and dl'ing the rest over a modem. I tried doing a "woody" install, using the woody files, but I strongly recall that the installer program asked for the (nonexistent) base image file, so there was no way to complete the install.. Perhaps I am not recalling my experience correctly, and/or have made an error, but it was because of that problem that I had to, for the goal of getting a testing system installed, go back to doing a stable install, then trying to upgrade this to testing. :( *** *** So, that is why I am asking you about how to do the upgrade, not a direct testing install. :) I had tried to be very precise in my questions in the first post of this thread. I think all those questions are important, and I would greatly appreciate it if you would take a few minutes to answer them. I do think your effort would be repaid many times over in saving time for the Debian community, especially for those trying to install a fresh working woody system today. :) One of the __main reasons__ for writing the request was to enable people to get a woody system up _now_. I.e., exactly to _avoid_ having to "Wait a day or two for the new glibc and libdb2 to make their way into testing." 0. Do you think it will only take a day or two for the files to get into testing? My understanding (gleaned from I don't recall where) is that it takes two _weeks_ for the files to be moved to testing from unstable, correct? I know you said "I don't suggest upgrading to woody yet." 1. Why is that? 2. Would you please, nonetheless, answer the questions in my original mail, and allow us the possibility of doing the upgrade now, guided by the (likely) most knowledgeable authority on the topic (you), should we prefer to try doing a fresh woody install now? :) Thank you very much for reconsidering your respone. :) __ Do You Yahoo!?

This is a website bug. I've known several sites which serve (or redirect) navigation elements or *content* from ad servers. InfoWorld did this for a time (they've since found more creative ways to utterly fuck their website), more recently, IDG has served content in frames, the content frame of which is redirected through doubleclick.(net|com).

Oh, ok. iptables -L :-). ipchains and ipfwadm will work with the 2.4 kernels iff you load the compatibility module. The tradeoff is then you can't use any new features.

I don't use diald, so I can't tell you offhand exactly what the files are called, but... Look in /etc/rc2.d/ for a file called (something like) S50diald (though the number may be different. It should be a link to /etc/init.d/diald (or similar). You can rename the link to K50diald (but keep the numeric value the same). Next time you boot, diald won't start. You can manually start it by doing '/etc/init.d/diald start' -B -- Brandon High [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes." pgpF3TfrMKkqS.pgp Description: PGP signature

I've tried something similar to that with my notebook, which has an ATI Mobility LT board with TV Out and while playing DivX in Windows to the TV was fine (it was something that I had captured from a VHS tape and it seemed like the tape), under Linux I can only get the text-mode to play right on the TV.

It is only illegal for those residing in the U.S. and other oppressive countries. There are two issues, the DMCA law, which is evil, but it (at least for now) is the law and the issue of CSS (the encryption scheme used for DVDs) trade secrets.

Disabling diald
Hi ! Until some days ago I was using a 56 Kb modem to connect my single box to the Net. Now I have an old box as a proxy connected 7x24, and my box behind it. I would like to prevent diald from starting at every boot, but without deinstalling it, since I still can access through the modem in case the permanent connection fails, so I want it at hand and properly configured. I think adding 'kill diald' in my .profile is sort of brute, but (as you've probably noticed) I'm not as skilled with Linux as I would like yet. Is there any way of configuring this behavior in a more adecuate and elegant fashion ? Daniel -- "There is no spoon..." - The Matrix

Bad signature on partition table
I'm trying to upgrade,have started with my first physical IDE Hard Drive and run into a problem. hda was the original and a small disk, with a W95 installation, a small e2fs /boot partition and FreeBSD from an earlier experiment. When I became committed to Debian, I bought a second larger disk and as hdb used it for Slink and later Potato. Now I have a 20G drive to replace the small one, and eventually make room for Woody etc. I also intended to upgrade the CPU and M/Board next week. I've had to agree to keep a 500Mb partition for W95, so did the following:- a. Removed hda3 (the boot partition) from /etc/fstab, and booted from a floppy to prove I would have no problem with Potato. b. Physically changed the disks and installed MS-DOS 6.22 onto the new one. I've never liked the fdisk with DOS/Win, so I booted into Potato to finish partitioning the disk as I had planned. c. cfdisk hda gives the error message 'Fatal Error: Bad Signature on partition table - press any key etc. to leave' fdisk hda gives no message - just locks Potato completely. If I try to re-login (as opposed to reboot), the message 'hda: lost interrupt' keeps recurring. If I go into DOS and run format or fdisk to wipe the disk clean, I continue to get the same messages (I did this thinking the problem had something to do with the first cylinder difficulty which I've never understood - can't tell if it could as I don't know what cyls fdisk has used for DOS). Can anyone please shed any light on my problem. A little OT; can two separate Potato installations exist on the same box - if so I could put another on the new disk - never have any great problem in installing Debian, so that might clear things (at least I could 'see' what I do partitioning. Regards, John.
