Anyone played with Festival?
Hi, I had a bit of a play with Festival on my laptop today. I've got it working (or talking as the case may be) but I wanted to try and get the client/server mode part of it working, as the delay in initializing was annoying me. The server starts fine, but whenever I try to connect to port 1314, it closes the connection immediately. I did an strace on the server process, and the two lines that looked interesting where: shmat(8, 0x1, 0x1ptrace: umoven: Input/output error ) = ? shmat(8, 0x1, 0x2ptrace: umoven: Input/output error ) = ? Does this imply a shared memory problem? I scoured the documentation for any reference of shared memory and couldn't find anything. I also can't figure out how to turn on any logging, which is making troubleshooting difficult. I'm suffering from Scheme/LISP culture shock :-) Andrew

Where is the > flaw in this logic? This is a common misconception. 'stable' refers to the stability of the package list, not the systems running on those packages. No matter which of potato(stable), woody(testing), or sid(unstable) you run, your system will be VERY STABLE compared to other (non-Debian) systems. As to your direct fears: fear not. Moving to kernel 2.2.19 (or in general the latest kernel in your chosen kernel "series" -- i.e. 2.2.x or 2.4.x) will give you the benefit of more *fixed* bugs. The reason that potato is distributed with kernel 2.2.19pre17 is because that's the version that was the latest at the time potato was made "stable". You can upgrade to 2.2.19 with no problems. Also, do you have an Internet connection (at a decent speed)? If you do, you should be able to simply say "apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.19 kernel-headers-2.2.19", provided only you have valid source lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list Here's an example of a sources.list you might use: deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free deb http://mirror.direct.ca/linux/debian-non-US/ stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://mirror.direct.ca/linux/debian-non-US/ stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org potato/updates main contrib non-free > > 3. Assuming I do need to recompile the kernel, and 2.2.19pre17 headers are > not on the CD, should I be using 2.2.19 or 2.2.18 headers? If you're recompiling the kernel, you don't need a headers package.

Re: quick perl check
Thanks for all your help.. I found out what my problem was. In the testing version of perl, it doesn't include that file ioctl.ph. I was trying to get the package libdevice-serial-perl installed and when setting the handshaking to cts/rts only, it was complaining becuase it didn't know 'how' to do that...hence ioctl.ph Apparently, if you're running testing or later, you have to build those files yourself. Simply done by # cd /usr/include; h2ph -r -l . that converts all the c header files into perl header files. Effectivly it fixes (overkills) the problem, but it works now :) which ofcourse, leads me to my original problem, im having one fsck of a time trying to decode my belkin UPS's serial protocol. I hope to create a custom perl module for it. I'm almost there, i have the base commands, i just cant make the serial port talk properly to the UPS... but i'll start a new thread on that tomorrow :) .. any good perl serial-port hackers around? :) -adam -- Adam McDaniel Infrastructure Technology Consultant M-Tech Mercury Information Technology, Inc.

Any user can use apt-get to fetch the source of a package. the way I usually do it is this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/projects/dev/debian/pine % apt-get source pine and then: % cd pine % fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc % sudo dpkg -i ../pine*.deb This can all be done under /usr/local/src/ as well, provided only your user account is a member of group staff.

Problem with resolv.conf and search list
There is something I do not understand about resolving hostnames. It seems the
search primitive of resolv.conf does not work properly in sid, nor in woody.
Let's see some of my configuration files :
resolv.conf
search lifl.fr univ-lille1.fr iut-info.univ-lille1.fr
nameserver 134.206.10.18
nameserver 134.206.1.4
nameserver 134.206.1.15
-
host.conf
order hosts,bind
multi on
-
Then I know a host which is called sole.iut-info.univ-lille1.fr and want to be
able to call it by its short name sole.
The resolver is unable to find it. Let's see it with an example :
{watney-root-/etc}# host sole
sole.lifl.fr does not exist (Authoritative answer)
{watney-root-/etc}# host sole.iut-info.univ-lille1.fr
sole.iut-info.univ-lille1.frA 134.206.40.114
Why did the resolver stop searching after the first search entry (not trying
univ-lille1.fr and so on) ?
Did I miss something or is it a bug ?

Debian 2.2r3 potato - linux core release?
It appears that the potato release (2.2r3) uses the Linux kernel version 2.2.19pre17. However, I can only seem to find kernel headers for 2.2.18 or 2.2.19 on the release CD. This appears to mean that to install any modules without error messages (I need them for my video chipset & my [lin]modem) I have had to recompile the kernel. I have these questions: 1. Have I done the right thing here, or is there a way I missed to add modules without having to recompile the kernel? 2. Recompiling the kernel with different headers concerns me. I chose potato as the 'stable' release. But now I wonder if that stability is being retained? It seems to me that the 'best stable' kernel ought to have been supplied, so moving to 2.2.18 or 2.2.19 should theoretically expose me either to unfixed bugs or to a less stable kernel respectively. Where is the flaw in this logic? 3. Assuming I do need to recompile the kernel, and 2.2.19pre17 headers are not on the CD, should I be using 2.2.19 or 2.2.18 headers? I am using the kernel source from the Debian GNU/Linux 2.2.r3 "potato" - Official i386 binary-1 (20010427) CD. I burned the CD myself from an image created as per instuctions on www.debian.org.

I have recently installed the Lyx 1.1.6fix3 package from Debian/Unstable and I am having some problems using the spellchecker feature. Whenever I try to use the spellchecker from the "edit" menu I get an error message saying the ispell-process has died and that I probably do not have the dictionary installed. However, I do have the english ispell dictionary installed, and the program works fine from the terminal. I have the most recent ispell 3.1.20-15 packages from Debian/Unstable installed. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Speeding up GPG
Hi, I've set up to use GPG, it seems to work fine. However loading a signed message takes annoyingly long, 10 to 20 seconds. As I get quite a lot of mail, much of which is signed this is a pain in the butt. I'm on a PIII500 so processor speed is probably not the bottleneck. I suspect it's connecting to the keyserver which makes it so slow. Is this a valid assumption. If so, is there a way to speed things up, eg by some kind of proxy. I've installed the package containing the debian keyring, but that doesn't seem to improve anything. -- Casper Gielen [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [..] and 2000 only pissed me off with it's vague,"You have a hardware error, contact your hardware vendor." errors.

See: http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,46816,00.html The evil gnomes who keep advancing unconstitutional US anti-crypto policies know that the current hysteria in Congress and the Administration will not last forever. So they will probably move very quickly -- within a week is my guess -- to re-control encryption, either by a unilateral action of the Administration (by amending the Export Administration Regulations), or by stuffing a rider onto some so-called "emergency" bill in Congress. They maneuvered very carefully in the Bernstein case such that there is no outstanding injunction against violating the Constitution this way -- and even no binding 9th-Circuit precedent that tells them it's unconstitutional to do so. They know in their hearts that numerous judges have found it unconstitutional, but they have proven throughout the seven-year history of the case that they don't give a damn about the Constitution. Which means it may take weeks, months or years for civil liberties workers to get a judge to roll back any such action. Not just days. We won the case, but they squirmed out of any permanent restrictions -- so far. The US government has a new mania for wiretapping everyone in case they might be a terrorist. There's already two bills in Congress to make it trivial for them to wiretap anybody on flimsy excuses, and to retroactively justify their precipitous act of rolling Carnivore boxes into major ISPs this week and demanding, without legal authority, that they be put at the heart of the networks. See: http://www.politechbot.com/docs/cta.091401.html Even more than before, we will need good encryption tools, merely to maintain privacy for law-abiding citizens, political activists, and human rights workers. (In the current hysteria, mere messages advocating peace or Constitutional rights might best be encrypted.) The European Parliament also recently recommended that European communications be routinely encrypted to protect them from pervasive US Echelon wiretaps. Some US developers, who thought such a reversal would never happen, have built or maintained a number of good open source encryption tools in the United States, and may not have lined up solid foreign maintainers or home sites. LET'S FIX THAT! We need volunteers in many countries to mirror current distributions, CVS trees, etc. We need volunteers to also act as maintainers, accepting patches and integrating them into solid releases. (Note that too many countries have pledged to stand toe-to-toe with the US while they march off to make war on somebody they can't figure out who it is yet. If you live in one of those countries, you may suddenly find that your own crypto regs have been sneakily altered. Take care that each useful package has maintainers and distribution points in diverse countries.) I haven't kept close track of which packages are in danger. I suggest that people nominate packages on this mailing list, and that others immediately grab mirror copies of them as they are nominated. And that some of those who mirror them keep quiet, in case hysterical governments make a concerted effort to stamp out all copies and/or all major distribution sites. If you aren't the quiet type, then *AFTER* IMMEDIATELY PULLING A COPY OF THE CODE OUTSIDE US JURISDICTION, announce your mirror on this mailing list. We freedom-loving US citizens have had to rely on the freedom-loving citizens of saner countries, to do the work of making strong encryption, for many years. We had a brief respite, which we will eventually resume for good. In the meantime, please let me apologize for my countrymen and for my government, for asking you to shoulder most of the burden again. Thank you so much.

Dumb question for you, but you have logrotate set to not run
daily/weekly etc in the global part of the config file do you? That
could be overriding the size limits you want it to follow.

That's about the best advice I can give you. Just set woody as your preferred dist again and that's that. You may choose to selectively downgrade some packages manually: I think that this may be a large headache for something like libc but not so big a deal for something like mutt. I think you'll have to watch out for things on a package-by-pacakge basis; what you should be looking out for is changed config file formats that install scripts won't warn you about (because they're usually not retrofitted to support downgrades). I'd say just start tracking woody, and as always, stay alert for security announcements whose fixes won't come to you automatically. When woody goes stable, then you can reel back in anything that floated in from unstable after the freeze.

logrotate still not workin
i sent this once, and didn't see a reply, i have some
followup info to the original message.
I changed /etc/logrotate.conf :
/var/log/radacct/ras-ca/detail {
size=1k
create 0664 root adm
rotate 10
postrotate
/etc/init.d/radiusd restart
endscript
}
which should limit rotations of that particular file
to when it gets to 10MB. i did this on Sept 12 as
noted by the date/time stamp on /etc/logrotate.conf
it did not have any effect:

-rw-r-1 root adm 697 Sep 14 01:50 detail.1.gz
-rw-r-1 root adm 1356 Sep 12 20:45 detail.2.gz
as you can see ...its been rotated at least 3 times
since i made the change. anyone have an idea on how to
get this working? or if all else fails how to get logrotate
to just ignore those logs totally and i can rotate them
manually? it really screws up my ability to generate stats

Subject: logrotate question/problem
From: "nate" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: debian-user@lists.debian.org
I'm tryin to get logrotate to not rotate my radius logs until
they are about 10MB in size. in /etc/logrotate.conf i HAD
this:
/var/log/radacct/* {
size=1k
create 0664 root adm
rotate 10
postrotate
/etc/init.d/radiusd restart
endscript
}
i read in the logrotate manpage that this would work
but clearly it was not. lograte still
rotates the logs at least once a day(the logs are about
50kb or so per day).
now i have
/var/log/radacct/systemname/detail {
size=1k
create 0664 root adm
rotate 10
postrotate
/etc/init.d/radiusd restart
endscript
}
for each of my currently monitored systems. i fear this
won't work either. maybe it will ? any insight?

That should have been done by the postinst script; why did you find it
necessary?
I consider the package in testing to be very buggy; unfortunately
I can't get 7.1.3-4 into testing (I think because of an RC bug
on libssl-dev). The bug you have is fixed in the unstable version,
which you should install in preference to 7.1release-4.
A quick workaround is to edit /etc/postgresql/postgresql.env
and insert these contents (possibly with modifications for your own
setup):

If the hostname is "localhost" you must make sure that PostgreSQL is
started with the "-i" option (to allow TCP/IP connections). This is
off by default. You may also need to edit /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf
to install the correct access policy. If the hostname is blank,
PostgreSQL will use a UNIX socket connection instead.

Ok, so what I'm doing is telling fetchmail to say that instead of
[EMAIL PROTECTED] it will be [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then configure exim to
take mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then deliver that specially right? I
just want to make sure I understand what I'll be configuring and why.

Now what exactly is going on here? this as far as I can tell delivers
normal mail to users except those that we specify in the user and group

So this is going to be hit first by exim which then calls the maildir

Thanks for the help. Hopefully I can leap from this to a better

First off, as far as Debian goes these are 4 different tasks, which you can install or remove separately. A. Being a router, i.e. a machine that plugs into two networks (one of which may be a modem) and lets network data flow through from one to the other. This is built in to the very Linux kernel itself, it is simply a matter of turning it on with the following one-line command (after everything else is set up...): echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward B. Using Linux to make machines on your network access the Internet as if they were just a single machine. This is called IP-Masquerading and is also part of the Linux kernel itself, but you net the ipchains tool to configure it. Search www.linux.org for Masquerading for some excellent tutorials. C. Being a server answering things like ftp, telnet or http (web server) Each of these is a separate .deb, and for some you have more than one choice e.g. telnetd-ssl.deb wu-ftpd.deb apache-ssl.deb dhcp*.deb etc. Most of these are listed in dselect under the category "net", there is a lot to choose from and you definitely don't want everything. D. Telling other machines that your machine is a server or router etc. This typically means running a DHCP server (on Debian or elsewhere) pointing to a DNS server (on Debian or elsewhere) pointing to the Debian machine. -- This message is hastily written, please ignore any unpleasant wordings, do not consider it a binding commitment, even if its phrasing may indicate so.

on my system (running potato), /sbin/start-stop-daemon is part of
dpkg*.deb, I guess your real problem is explained by the last line.
Try
# echo ${PATH}
If it says something like
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
It means that you have accidentally configured the PATH as if
you were not running as root. To fix it temporarily type
# export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:${PATH}
To make the fix more permanent, you need to put the new path in
/root/.profile or some other place depending on how you logged in
as root.

Yes: you shouldn't be removing the message when you finish writing it. Mutt will remove it once it is sent. That is kind of like if vi removed the file every time you quit it.

With devfsd running, with the default Debian config, it provides "old dev" compatibility. That means that the old name (/dev/hdc) will be valid IFF the drive exists. I found that the 2.4 kernel packages don't have the cdrom driver built-in anymore. You need to add 'ide-cdrom' to /etc/modules. If you check the 'drivers' file under /proc/ide you will see whether or not you have the cdrom driver loaded. HTH, -D

Error message at boot time
I have an old 400 Mhz Pentium, that I want to use as a firewall. It has 80Mb ram and a 6Gb disk. Now I understand that this is easily ample for the task. It only has one network card in it at the moment, but that card seems to generate this message at boot time.

My ATAPI CDROM drive /dev/hdc is fine, provided the devfsd daemon is not implemented during bootup. If /dev/hdc mounting is attempted AFTER devfsd is called, the mount fails. Insights? MarvS

I have the same setup as you do (testing plus mozilla, galeon, kde from unstable). My solution to this issue was to create an /etc/apt/preferences file with the following lines: Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 900 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 101 This makes apt install testing packages by default, but if you've got some unstable packages installed, it won't downgrade them, and will in fact upgrade them if upgrades are available in testing. If you'd rather have them frozen at their current version (until testing is more recent), you could decrease the 101 to 99. I am not entirely certain if this is the 'right' way to do it, but it seems to work from me. If there are any problems with this, I'd love to hear from someone who knows better. Oh, and you'll need both unstable and testing sources in your sources.list. -- David Roundy http://civet.berkeley.edu/droundy/

If the camera uses the PTP protocol, jphoto (http://jphoto.sourceforge.net) could be an answer A lot of newer cameras support the USB storage filesystem so can be mounted like any other filesystem under Linux.

Linux + Digital Cameras
Dear all, does anyone have any NEGATIV experience with digital cameras that should be connected to Linux via a USB interface? The reason I am asking this question: I would like to buy a Pentax Optio Digital Camera. As usual, the manufacturer state only some infos regarding Myrcosoft and MacOS -- but nothing for Linux. I know of friends that successfully make use of a Canon IXUS via USB on under Linux. Is there any risk that the Pentax camera could not work with Linux? Or, is the USB standardized such that every camera that can be connected via USB is also manageable under Linux?

See if that works. If you get a message like 'localhost does not relay for you' or 'connection refused', you have to reconfigure exim.

mail direct to Internet
On laptop from Home, my mail is sent through Netscape Messenger to smtp.rcn.com, with rcn.com my IP. RCN.COM does not accept smtp from other domains. With laptop at work I have a LAN gateway to the Internet, and should be able to send mail directly from the laptop. But how should Messenger + exim + WhatElse be configure? MarvS
