gnucash & woody
This is not another question about how to install gnucash 1.6.x on woody. There have been a few recent threads which answer this question. My question is: when woody is released as stable, is there any chance that it will include a modern gnucash? Woody currently has gnucash 1.3.4 which is an experimental developers release from March 2000. Since that time, unstable has had at least a few 1.4.x and 1.6.x releases which have not migrated to testing. What is it that keeps a new gnucash out of testing? I know that the version of gnucash currently in unstable has unresolvable dependencies, but when the package maintainer is available I'm sure these will be resolved. According to testing's update excuses, it appears to me that the biggest hurdle is gnucash's dependency on guile1.4/libguile9. So what is it that keeps libguile9 out of testing? Is it because libguile9 (unstable) conflicts with libguile6 (testing)? I notice that there are many packages in unstable that are kept back from testing because of their dependency on libguile9. John

I've got a self-compilted 0.92, and full-screen works.
Have you actually tried pressing the full-screen button? It looks like a
`X', but with chunky ends (as opposed to the close button, which just
looks like an `X' without chunky ends).
Appart from that, I don't know what to suggest. I certainly did not need
to make it suid root (*shudder*) to get it working.

Re: Failing installing kernel-image-2.4.10 under woody
Hi Blars, as a matter of fact it was dselect under woody to automatically select and install the package modutils-2.4.10-3 when I asked for kernel-2.4.10. So, do you mean that there's something wrong under debian woody?

I run xine on potato and can run full screen. Nice software. But for
it run in fullscreen mode, you need the new versions of X (>4). You
will not get it with X 3.3.6.

Possible X bug?
Hi all, I think I may have possibly stumbled accross an X bug, but I was interested to see if anyone else had encountered it before bugging the harried souls of the X Strikeforce. A quick look at the billions of bugs filed against xserver-xfree86 hasn't turned up anything relevant... I have a few apps that can run windowed or full-screen (mplayer (latest version self-compiled) and feh (latest Woody version) are two that I have confirmed it on). When run full screen, they will be miss-placed. They will be full-screen sized, and borderless, but start a few hundred pixels down and accross from the top left-hand corner of the screen. Imagine, for example, that the full-screen window had a window border and was dragged some distance accross the screen, so it didn't fill the whole screen. That's what it's like. Now, when I run either of these programs in windowed mode (not full screen), and then drag them into the very top left hand corner of the screen, then close and run them full screen, they take up the entire screen. So obviously they are remembering where they have been started up (or the X server is, or the window manager is), and starting up from that point when full-screened. Originally I thought this was a bug in mplayer, because that's where I first saw it, but now I have seen it in feh as well. Other apps that I have tried which run full screen (xine and gqview, for example) do not show this problem. I'm running latest Woody with a Matrox G450 and sawfish. The following, I think, are the relevant packages: [rei:docs]% dpkg -l sawfish\* xserver\* feh\*|grep ^i ii sawfish-gnome 0.99-1 A highly configurable window manager for X11 ii sawfish-merlin 1.0.1-1More flexible functions for sawfish. ii xserver-common 4.1.0-7files and utilities common to all X servers ii xserver-xfree8 4.1.0-7the XFree86 X server ii feh1.1.0-1imlib2 based image viewer Is anyone else seeing these problems? Can anyone run feh or mplayer full screen properly? Even suggestions as to which package to file the bug(s) against would be appreciated. cheers, damon -- Damon Muller :: Department of Criminology :: University of Melbourne I am Revenge: sent from the infernal kingdom, To ease the gnawing vulture of thy mind, By working wreakful vengeance on thy foes. -- Titus Andronicus

Bad memory?
Hey, I was trying to compile gaim last night, but gcc keeps dying of signal 11, here's the output: gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11 make[2]: *** [autorecon.so] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gaim-0.46/plugins' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gaim-0.46' make: *** [all] Error 2 I've heard that signal 11 is only caused by bad ram, so I installed memtest86 on my computer, and after about an hour, my RAM passed all the tests. Could it still be bad (It's worked fine for years), or is something else the problem? Thanks, Cameron Matheson _ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
Re: Adding Drives
Sorry but I am confused. If you add a physycal hard disk, the kernel upon recognizing it will assign a DRIVE id such as /dev/hda for the first IDE drive, /dev/hdb, /dev/hdc for the third IDE and so on. Now, on you /dev/hdc drive you will need some partitions. Each primary partition is called /dev/hdc1 through /dev/hdc4 (extended parts start from /dev/hdc5). You should create the filesystem on one of the partitions, not on the drive e.g. mke2fs /dev/hdc1 Once the partition has a filesystem recognized by the kernel you can mount it at will In your situation mount /dev/hdc1 /data where /data is a mountpoint (a directory on the /dev/hda3 partition's filesystem) under which all the filesystem existing on /dev/hdc1 will appear ... When you see it works allright you can add it to /etc/fstab ... To wrap it up the (usual) hyerarchy is -> DISK 1->n Partition 1<-> 1 Filesystem ... hope this helps.

Only a guess here, but brobably the full screen needs DGA, so the

Debian & Kernel 2.4
Hi everybody, i'm currently using potato 2.2r3 the debian stable version. The new features in the new kernel like iptables are interesting and i like to try it. I have read the document at the url http://www.debian.org/News/2001/20010415 It contains the instructions to upgrade potato to the new kernel. It says also that the packages are recompiled from the unstable distribution and then there are not guarantee that everything will work perfectly. Is there anyone who have try This upgrade Are there other solutions??? Thanks to anyone.

Hi all, --- OpenBSD 2.9 (or any other version) versus "iptables" GNU/Linux 2.4.x --- If GNU/Linux is chosen, is Debian GNU/Linux 'testing' (woody) the right distribution?. No 'potato' due to it uses 2.2.x kernels. I think that the subjects which must be taken into account to evaluate the Operating System and distribution to use must be: - The security, stability, ... of the Operating System / distribution - The functionality level of the filter, for example: linux 2.2.x versus 2.4.x Is OpenBSD more secure than GNU/Linux?. Is the functionality level of the 2.4.x filter the same/greater/lower than the OpenBSD filter?. Regards, Davi

The user creates his/her RSA key pair by running ssh-keygen(1). This stores the private key in $HOME/.ssh/identity and the public key in $HOME/.ssh/identity.pub in the user's home directory. The user should then copy the identity.pub to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys in his/her home directory on the remote machine (the authorized_keys file corresponds to the conventional $HOME/.rhosts file, and has one key per line, though the lines can be very long).

So, as of now, I've commented out the "auto lo" line to avoid the above-described "neighbor table overflow" error, and, although the loopback interface isn't listed in the routing table, everything works just fine. I can ping localhost or 127.0.0.x with no problem.

No, I'm still in the beginning stages of getting my Linux machine usable, so I haven't networked with my wife's Windows machine yet. I did go ahead and set the Debian machine as the gateway machine (for future masquerading), but I didn't do much else. > More info on it can be found with: > man interfaces Thanks. > It looks like you need a default gateway to the internet through your > ppp0 interface instead of your eth0 Yes! Thank you! Your saying this led me to the solution of my original problem, namely, not being able to connect to the internet. I had thought that I needed such a default gateway, but I understood that it would be set up automatically when I signed on to my ISP (which, in fact, is true). > pppd should allow you the option of configuring a default gateway for > the ppp0 interface in the config files for your specific host. Yes, the configuration file is /etc/ppp/peers/provider. The keyword to set the option is "defaultroute". But this was already set properly, so there was some other problem. As you suspected, it was the eth0 default gateway. I deleted it and the problem was fixed. Well...not entirely. I can't make the solution stick. When I reboot, my default gateway gets reset to the original eth0 interface! How can I change this permanently? Also, according to one person, when I do get around to setting up my LAN, I'm supposed to set up my ethernet gateway as a *network* route using the "add -net" option of the route command; but this was not suggested at http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&th=2b86ab0506c3635d&rnum=2 where this very problem seems to have been the topic.

I'm using the xine-ui deb from unstable. Has anybody managed to get

An 'apt-get upgrade' would likely leave you with many (100s?) of packages held back. It only upgrades packages currently installed, and will never install new packages or remove old ones. An 'apt-get dist-upgrade', on the other hand, would most likely not hold any packages back, as it "intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages; apt-get has a 'smart' conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary." Of course, the smoothest way to upgrade is to use dselect. -- Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I installed debian when the potato was unstable, I had to install stable (which was really old by that time) since potato installer didn't work... I was quite confused by dselect and installation was quite, err... confused as well... I planned to make a fresh install, but got the disk that was too big at that time (for kernel used during installation etc.) and some other problems so I ended up copying the 'draft' installation and I am happily using it till now... it looks like it survived all the abuse so far since I do not see any unusual problems (it went from slinky to potato to woody (unstable) to sid (unstable) to woody (testing) to sid). I have to say it's quite impressive. judging by this discussion I guess that's normal for debian... now spill the beans: it's not really a joke, right? erik

Re: Modem configuration + Dial up - Procedure
Could somebody pls tell me how Modem configuration + Dial up is done on any Linux box , if I am having an ISP ? Thanks, There is no simple answer to ppp configuration on any Linux box. Debian standard is pppconfig and then use pon/poff. Then there is wvdialconf and wvdial to dial in, this seems to be a little bit tricky on a Debian box. Most Distris have there own tools to configure (nearly) everything. On a Suse box it's done with YAST/YAST2 and I don't know about the others. Frank --

I'm a fairly experienced user (since 1988) and I'm used to doing lots of customization, but I've not noticed anything annoying so far. What has been very impressive is that things just work.

If you can ping that illegal address something is completely utterly wrong. Did you copy the info by hand and make a typo ? Your routing table looks very weird to me. Lets have a look... First of you need the loopback route: 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 00 lo If its not present you should run route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo Your box is capable of finding itself without a route so the strange 286 route should go. Experiment with "route del" to get rid of it. When looking for other addresses you need to first of all be able to find your gateway. From your info the gateway is 192.168.1.1 and it is at the other end of the ppp0 interface so you need a line like: 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH0 00 ppp0 instead of the one you have on eth0. It should appear automagically when you bring up the interface but otherwise you can add it with route add -host 192.168.1.1 ppp0 Now that your box can find the local net, itself and its gateway the only thing missing is everything else. Again your routing table has an entry going through eth0 but it should go through ppp0. Try route add default gw 192.168.1.1 ppp0 In the end the output of route -n should be DestinationGateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface 192.168.1.10.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH0 00 ppp0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 00 lo 0.0.0.0192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG0 00 ppp0 Take care to remove any superflous lines.

Hi All I haven't been using Debian long enough to experience a full new release. Currently I'm running 2.2r3 and my apt-sources point to 'stable'. When Woody is released as 3.0 and becomes Stable do I just so a "apt-get dist-upgrade"? Or do I need to do some kind of reinstall? It would be cool if apt could handle it all.

segmentation fault??
Hi, This is my first time to meet this message and don't know why. The story is. This afternoon, I tried to install ssh3 for higher security. Follow standard step: configure make make install everything was fine, no error message showed on the screen. But, I can not connect to my server by ssh client server from poor win98. (This is another problem >_<) So, I read FAQ. In FAQ said that I must check my ssh version, use command "ssh -V ". I did it, and then showed "segmentation fault" on my screen.. Why??? It is just simple command. Hope someone can tell me why. Please!! *_* And thanks for who read this mail.^^ haheho

fatal X server error
X is failing thusly:
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
Others have had this problem and solved it by reinstalling xfonts
packages, but I have done a forced reinstall ('apt-get --reinstall install
...') of xfonts-base, xfonts-100dpi, xfonts-75dpi, and xfonts-scalable,
and it hasn't helped.
When I reinstalled xfonts-scalable, it complained "Running xftcache in
Type1 font directory...cannot open file "/etc/X11/XftConfig"". That file
does not exist. Also the X server complains, "error opening security
policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy", another
non-existent file. Should these files exist?
>From X server output: (**) FontPath set to
"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled,
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
This tells me that all these directories are acceptable to the server, yet
it can't find the default font for some reason. Any idea why? Is it
possible to change the default font to something else?
I'm using the xfont packages from sid and running a 2.4.12 kernel. I
think I'll go try the woody packages instead . . .
Thank you,

Re: lpr doesn't work under woody
I had the same problem. I noticed that /var/spool/lpd has different group/ownershipin woody, so I simply replaced my /var/spool/lpd directory in woody with that from potato (I did a cp -p to preserve ownerships and permissions). After that everything worked fine. Lars.

It's menu driven and easy to use. I beleive you should install the sg module (SCSI Generic). If your burner is an IDE burner you will also need to install the ide-scsi module (or is that scsi-ide). If you install the ide-scsi module you need to fiddle with the append line in lilo to make your IDE drive appear as a SCSI drive, and you must make the link /dev/cdrom point to the /dev/scd# that is now your CD-RW device. I don't remember the syntax off the top of my head. I'm at my job where there's no Linux boxes. I can look up the details for you when I get back home if you want. Cheers :o) Johnny :o)

Re: Adding Drives
michael: by the way, there is nothing mystical about putting your new drive as "data" in the root. you can put it anywhere you think it should be mounted. for example, if this were to be a part of a database installation, say postgres, you could conceivably put this in a directory called /db/postgres/flyters/. in that case, you would: i am assuming that the device containing db is hdb5, and that the directories postgres/flyters reside on the physical device /dev/hdb5 (though this is not necessary.) in this example, make sure data is mounted **after** db. mkdir /db/postgres/flyters/data and in your fstab, put the line /dev/hdb5 /db ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdc1 /db/postgres/flyters/data ext2defaults 1 2 hope this did not muddle :<) On Tuesday 23 October 2001 21:12, Michael Heldebrant pronounced: > On Tue, 2001-10-23 at 23:02, Michael Grover wrote: > > Does anybody know where I can find info on ading second hard drives? > > > > I added the second drive, > > ran "MAKEDEV hdc" , > > ran "mke2fs /dev/hdc" , > > added a entry to the fstab file in the /etc directory. > > > > But I can not mount it? > > > > fstab line = "/dev/hdc1 /data ext2defaults 11 > > > > > > when I try to mount I get error "mount point data does not exist" > > mkdir /data > > retry mount and enjoy. > > --mike > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

root disk
Hello - I'm having difficulties getting the root disk to work. I insert the rescue disk at boot up then it load the kernel and asks for a root disk. I insert the root disk and hit enter - when I do it says "Compressed Image found at block 0" And I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong - but if there is anyway you could offer some advice that would be great. Thanks. Ian Frizzell [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I Think I Have What I Need! Going For It! STOP Make Menuconfig ERROR
I have the following and am about to reboot ... pray! :-) Progeny update/upgrade to Unstable: Steps: Uncommented only unstable in sources.list apt-get update dpkg --purge --force-depends libfreetype6 apt-get -f dist-upgrade (got an error on gdm) Ran "apt-get -f dist-upgrade" again. (additional gdnumeric error or something) Ignored the error and Downloaded the following to /usr/src/ : linux-2.4.12.tar.gz (Found this at: http://www.kernel.org ) pcmcia-cs.3.1.29.tar.gz (Found this at: http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ ) modutils_2.4.10-3_i386.deb (Found this at: http://ftp.eecs.umich.edu/debian/pool/main/m/modutils/ ) Copied all three to /stuff just in case something trashes what it expects to find in /usr/src/ ;-) Rebooted. No pcmcia. Rebooted and broke out to a command prompt (I think I used CTRL-ALT-F2 or something as Progeny-Unstable was loading). Loaded Linux Kernel 2.4.12 and other stuff using the following instructions from Stephen E. Hargrove ... # tar xfvz linux-whatever.tar.gz (seemd to go well) # rm -rf linux (OK) # ln -s linux-whatever linux (OK) # tar xfvz pcmcia-cs-whatever.tar.gz (OK) # ln -s pcmcia-cs-whatever pcmcia (OK) # cd linux Uh Oh! (I think you meant "cd pcmcia" because I can see something called "linux" in /usr/src/ trying to "cd" there gets only an error.) I did execute "cd pcmcia" and then proceeded ... # rm -rf pcmcia (OK) # make menuconfig YUCK! An old 'enemy' returns! "***No rule to make target 'menuconfig'. Stop" And I was getting so hopeful ... grrr! Now what, please? Sigh ... Thanks! Doc ~~ The following is on hold until the "make menuconfig" problem is resolved. ~~ ... configure stuff ... # make dep # make bzImage ... edits for lilo / grub ... ... move /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to boot ... ... /sbin/lilo or whatever you do for grub # make modules; make modules_install # cd ../pcmcia # make config # make all # make install # shutdown -r now ... boot to new kernel ... for my set up, i was /never/ able to get any 2.4.x kernel to compile with the "built-in" pcmcia stuff. they crapped out /every single time/. so, i just delete the pcmcia directory and go with the pcmcia-cs stuff. it's worked well on both of my laptops. i'm sorry that i can't help you with grub. i don't have any experience with it. hopes this helps. its nothing but a scaled down version of the forest you're toting around, i'm sure.
