Newbie: problems intalling aps

[FFF]

Hi,

I'm a newbie to debian, I had problems when I try to install from a
local disk, after selecting the packs using either "simple" or the
"advanced method" it fails to find them. I checked the installation
path file:/mnt/hde6/debian and is correct. So I can't understand why
it says it can't find anything.
I did the following dpkg-reconfigure base-config, and after that I
choose "advanced" and all packages. BTW is there a way to install one
just to try without breaking dependencies ?
I'm using debian stable, dl the files using wget -r (not from the
linux side).

Regards,

Rick

I would like to make clear that there is, from my point of view at 
least, a big differency between 'patently wrong and offensive' and 
'racism'. Or at least, there is a differency and the limit between them 
is not quite precise.
If I just joke about the color of your skin or your religion, for 
example, you can be offended or, perhaps, you can even find the joke 
amusing. That depends on your sensibility. A joke about dead people can 
be either very amusing or devastating, depending on the very audience, 
if for example you lost a relative or loved one recently. Personally, I 
consider this can be of very bad taste but I don't think it's a crime.
On the other hand, denying a job position or killing you merely because 
of the color of your skin _is_ racism, there is no joke at all about 
that and in many countries this is plain criminal.
The fact that there have been (and there is still) so much cruelty 
associated to racism and other forms of discrimination turns the 
subject of the jokes into a very sensitive area.
I'm from Argentina and I know what is it said about people from my 
country who try to make a better life emigrating to more developed 
countries. Very capable engineers and other professionals have to 
accept low skill jobs in unfair conditions, without legal contracts and 
being humiliated, in order to make a live.

Almost surely I'm biased by the fact that I live in a third world 
country, but I feel strongly that been so touchy about offensive jokes 
and banning them is like sweeping the actual problems under the carpet.
I don't care of jokes about my nationality, I'm concerned about 
equality of opportunities.
When you are hungry, you don't care so much about jokes, you do care 
about food.

Thanks for puting those up. They were the clue that got me going. I had
"input" (which was called "source" in my .xwarc) wrong for the ew card.

Examples are always great.

Now a philisophical question. Any ide if the gatos drivers are going to
get merged inot the mainstream XFree code? I'm just thinking thta someday 
(perhaps soon) I'm going to do a dselect & it's going to upgrade my X server,
which will now break things :-(

Thanks for the help.

Oh, one final question. Any idea if the "ati" and "radeon" drivers are 
diferent, or just aliases? I had radeon, but I cnaged it to ati to match
your workign example.

Thanks, again.

Kernel > 2.4.13 compile fails on char.o

[Damon Muller]

Dear Debianites,

For some reason, I'm not able to successfully build kernels newer than
2.4.13 on my system. I'm running a (somewhat out-of-date) testing
distribution.

I vaguely remember reading somewhere that there was a binutils issue
(i'm running 2.11.92.0.12.3), but that said it was a problem with older
kernels, and fixed in newer ones. I seem to have the oposite problem
(working for older kernels, not newer ones).

Relevant (or maybe not relevant, I don't know) software I'm running:

ii  gcc2.95.4-8   The GNU C compiler.
ii  bin86  0.15.4-1   16-bit assembler and loader
ii  binutils   2.11.92.0.12.3 The GNU assembler, linker and binary

The actual output of the error is included below. The same (I think)
error has occured for at least the last couple of kernels (output is
from 2.4.18 (with no extra patches)).

I'm running an Athlon 900 (not overclocked), with 512M of RAM, and
nothing terribly unusual hardware-wise.

I thought that it might be a debian specific problem, so I figured I'd
check here first, as Google didn't turn up anything. It's probably not
something worth bothering the kernel gurus over!

Please CC any replies, as I'm having trouble keeping up with the list
these days due to an itermitant net connection.

Cheers,

damon

I installed the kernel-image-2.2.19-ide package.  That seems to have

(Of course, the documentation that gets installed with that package
says nothing about what's different about the package...)

Have you tried ImageMagick?

There is interactive menu capability and you can display thumbnail views
of selected images (by directory & extension, for example).

I haven't handled 1000's but many 100's of images without a core dump.

If you have ImageMagick loaded, you can start the program by:

display {filename}

Once the image appears, you can open the interactive menu with a first
position mouse click (typically, left mouse key).

Installation questions

[Michael D. Crawford]

I am thinking of installing Woody on a Pentium II box.  I have
previously installed PowerPC debian on a Mac, originally potato but then
I moved it to sid.

I would like to make the installation on the Pentium II easier than the
Mac was for me, and faster, by using my other machines in some way.  I
also have a Slackware Pentium III machine.  The Mac doesn't have much
disk space, but the Pentium III machine has quite a bit.  I also have a
CD burner that will work on all my machines (I use mostly SCSI devices
because it makes it easier to mix and match on all the machines).

The Mac is set up as a IP Masquerading gateway to the net. 
Unfortunately, it is not a fast connection.  I use a 56k modem.

So my question is, how can I make use of my other machines to make the
installation on the pentium II easier?  I could boot off of floppies and
then download the works off of the debian.org server during
installation, but this is slow and error prone.  I had lots of trouble
installing my Mac over the internet.

The two ideas I have are to serve the base package from one of my other
Linux boxes via NFS or FTP, or to burn it into a CD.  What would be
really great is if I could make a bootable CD that would hold the
ramdisk image and the base package.  It would be nice to download the
woody ISO and use that, but it would take me three days to FTP it (I
actually did that for Slackware 8!  I was astounded I could keep FTP
going for three days and have it actually work!).

What would be the best options for me?

It might also be nice to download a lot of the packages onto my
slackware box, and serve them via NFS to the Pentium II machine, so once
I do the install, it could install right away.  But getting all the
packages downloaded correctly would be a drag.

I don't anticipate that I will install a lot of software on the pentium
II, at least not right away, I mostly want to use it as a fileserver and
would even find it useful without X for a while.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

I have no idea about why your computer would be losing time. You could set up a
Network Time Protocol daemon (for example: nptd)  to syncronize your clock 
with internet time servers. You probably have to reset your clock first to do
this.

I don't think I agree with this.  Why is racism any different to
religion, profession, food preferences, girth, sexuality, intelligence,
the way someone walks, political preferences, accent, in fact any
attribute of a person?  All of these are the subject of jokes;  why is
racism blacklisted and not the others?  If I find a joke about my race
*offensive* then I will tell you, and expect, out of consideration for
me, that you would refrain from such humour in my presence (however that
is defined on the internet) in future.  I have the same consideration
for others.  But if we are not allowed jokes about the way people are,
or even the way we ourselves are, then humour will become the sacrifice
we make to the great insecurity of our age.  Why do people find a joke
about, say, the way they walk offensive?  Because they are not
comfortable with it themselves!  I am happy with people joking at the
shape of my knees, because I don't mind what my knees look like;  they
serve their purpose passing well.  I am happy with people joking at the
clothes I wear;  I choose my clothes because they keep me warm, or not
as warm as the environment may demand.  I am happy with people joking at
my family;  my family is among the best I have known, and I don't think
they have a case to answer for the way they have brought me up.  And I
am happy with people joking at my religion, because I am confident that
I will be justified in the day when Christ returns.  Where am I going
with this?  I am not quite sure, but it seems to me that we are
over-sensitive on some issues which don't deserve such extra
consideration over others.

If it is a waste of bandwidth then why is it installed?  Clearly it
serves some useful purpose since people use it.  If some people want it,
then to not provide it is a disservice to them.  If you don't want it,
don't install it.

XF86Config-4 and Voodoo3 2000 agp botchup

[Glen Snyder]

I upgraded a machine at work to Woody. No problem at the start, gdm runs
fine, but both KDE and Gnome (Debian) crash on startup. I also recompiled
the kernel to 2.4.18 and installed DRI and agppart, but not improvement.
It looks like XFree86 probes the card ok:

---cut
(II) Bus -1 non-prefetchable memory range:
(II) Bus -1 prefetchable memory range:

(II) Addressable bus resource ranges are
[0] -1 00x - 0x (0x0) MX[B]
[1] -1 00x - 0x (0x1) IX[B]


but then it doesn't work in the end.

(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(WW) TDFX: Chipset "Voodoo3" in Device section "Card0" isn't valid for

(EE) No devices detected.



Should I call it something else from Card0 when I use xf86cfgDoes it
matter that it is agp, and is on bus 1, rather than pci on bus 0 Or is
this some other problem? The card is listed in /proc/pci

I don't really need 3d graphics at work,anyway if that's a problem. I do
need to get it back to running gnome, though. If anyone has a
suggestion, I thank you in advance.

What do you mean by the last sentence? With frambuffers you have
complete controll over the video modes. See the section:

X doesn't redisplay on return from console

[Dan Griswold]

Hi all,

This one stumps me, and I don't where do start in tracking down the
problem.

If I am in X, and then go to the a console (say) by means of
ctrl-alt-F1, and then return to X with (e.g.) ctrl-alt-F7, then X
doesn't come back up. I think it's running, but it ceases to send
anything to the screen.

I am using XFree86 v. 4, with Trident Blade driver.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Dan

fetchmail.  I see.  fetchmail sends the mail to the machine so it will be
delivered.  It is probably triggering the exim rewrites again.  Out of my

On another list, I had to configure my mail client's 'From:' header to my

Don't know if that'll work on this list or not. Hope this helps.

That depends on if i am responding to you

as i recieved two from you. That is because
i reply to the person and cc to debian-user.

As per receiving double messages sent directly

The Squirrelmail on Debian's website is in:

It is dependent on Perl 5.6.1-7

DMA seems to work fine for the other three devices.

What I'm really trying to find out is how to re-enable DMA for the
fourth device in Linux given that I had to disable the whole drive
in the BIOS.

Is there some kernel command-line parameter to pass to the IDE

pam-ldap and passwd

[David Wright]

I am having problems using passwd to change passwords stored on an LDAP 
database.


I have /etc/pam.d/passwd looking just like it does on my RedHat box:

auth  required   pam_env.so
auth  sufficient pam_unix.so likeauth nullok
auth  sufficient pam_ldap.so use_first_pass
auth  required   pam_deny.so

password  sufficient pam_ldap.so use_authtok
password  sufficient pam_unix.so use_authtok nullok md5 shadow
password  required   pam_deny.so

but I get a response like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ passwd
Enter login(LDAP) password:
Changing password for user
(current) UNIX password:
passwd: Critical error - immediate abort

What's going on? How to I get it work nicely?

By the way, Red Hat ships with a very nice pam module, pam_stack.so, 
which can be used like this


auth   required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
accountrequired /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
password   required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth

PAM then consults the file /etc/pam.d/system-auth to find the actual 
stacks. That way, one can, for instance, make all services use pam_ldap 
without having to change the stack in every /etc/pam.d/* file.

I installed the gatos ati.2 drivers over the woody XFree86 and it works
fine with my card. Use the tarball, unpack them and copy them over into
the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers and
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/multimedia. The tarball could probably just be
extracted into /usr and the new files will be placed where they need to
be, but for some reason I'd rather be cautious and copy them myself.

Install Mozilla instead.  It is identical in almost

Losing time !

[Greg Murphy]

Greetings,

My computer for some reason seems to be losing time at a rate of about 20 
minutes per 10-15 hours. I was under the impression that linux keeps track of 
the time from clock cycles. I have not rebooted my machine in a week, so if 
that previous assumption is correct, then that would rule out the cmos 
battery. What could cause this loss of time. The only thing that has been 
slightly different that I can think that might could cause it is that lately 
I have been constantly running some intensive tasks reniced to +19. Could 
something like that cause this problem, or is my problem elsewhere? Any 
ideas? Thanks.

1. I see no point in using framebuffers (FB) with X.

2. I make a good use of FB in console-mode. The alternative is
SVGATextMode, which I used quite happily until FB was included in the
official kernel-sources. I will not go back though. The thing is that
modern (my Matrox Millenium might not count as modern anymore, but I
think the same applies even to "modern" ones) graphics card have too
slow text mode clocks.

With FB in 1600x1200 and that cool SUN12x22 font, I have a nice console
with 133 cols and 54 rows, that text-mode just can't give (with Matrox
anyway). (If I want more chars I can use 1864x1400 which gives 155x63,
but on a 17" I find that a little too small for regular use.)

Thanks I read thru a little of exims documenation about rewriting.  I

Near as I can tell, the whole section on rewriting is basically

With this in place, dh is no longer able to download mail from the isp
pop server.  Remove it and downloading works.

What I did to test this was, first have pop3 server working on the
debian mail hub.  I already have successfully sent mail from a windows
machine on the lan, thru the smtp outgoing debian box, to ISP smtp
machine and successfully reteived it from that same windows machine,
again thru the debian box.

So the basics are in place and working.  I didn't like the way headers
came out, not sure if it really matters, but I think it isn't rfc
compliant this way.  (I'll show and example below).

So trying the rewrite thing to correct it, seems to have thrown  a
monkey wrench into retrieval, although sending still works.

With the rewrite entry in place, running fetchmail from dh account on
deb mail machine, with fetchmail -v shows mail being downloaded but in
fact it is not.  The verbose output goes by, but no actual mail
arrives.

Remove the added rewrite line and fetchmail downloads the mail fine.

Here are some sample headers, that I think are possibly wrong.  Making
no claims to rfc knowledge but I down't think hidden local machine
addresses should be showing up here.

Stats:
 1) This message was sent from a windows machine
(satwin.local.lan 192.168.0.7)

 2) Routed thru the debian box (expi.local.lan 192.168.0.8)
to mail.dslextreme.com (ISP smtp machine)

 3) Retrieved via fetchmail on expi 192.168.0.8 (debian machine)
to /var/mail/dh from mail.dslextreme.com (pop server)

 4) Retrieved from there by the windows machine mail client on 
satwin (192.168.0.7)   

dslextreme.com is my ISPs' domain

Starting with the Received header furtherest down in the message 
as 1.  I see seven places where my local private network addresses are
shown.

I'm no rfc expert or even apprentice, but I don't think my local lan
addresses should be present on internet mail.  These are not legal
addresses, in the sense they can be tracerouted or pinged.

Far as I have heard, those addresses should not leak out onto the
internet, where they may be taken for legal (domain owned) addresses.

The debian kernel images are completeley modular because they have to work on 
such a wide range of hardware. Without initrd they won't boot.

The kernel you compiled yourself contains support for your hdd type, root fs, 
etc compiled in, not as modules. You don't need initrd.

I don't understand why you would want to install a precompiled kernel image 
when you already have the source and seem capable of using it ?

I don't see your point.  

The black market deals in _stolen_ goods, and property theft is 
frowned upon in cultures as disparate as Holland (legalized drug
use and prostitution) and Saudi Arabia.

"Tangible" (not Intellectual) property theft is _more_or_less_ 
defined the same everywhere, and that's what your original post
described: "a computer whose parts you can assemble from the black
market".

RE: Best Email Web Application

[Dave Scott]

I'm going to try the manual install today.

I'll let you know what I come up with.

I think my main problem was I couldn't find any version of squirrelmail
up on debian's site, except for in testing, so I tried the testing
version, opps.

Maybe my sources.list needs to be updated, but with what reference?

What I didn't understand was Squirrelmail said you need Perl, but is
there a specific version of Perl it requires.  Me thinks that the
Squirrelmail version I tried to install requires Perl 5.6, hence it kept
telling me Perl wasn't installed when I know it was.

Anyway, I'll try the source and see what happens, I already installed
the box at the customers premise so I need to be careful what I do now,
but I can do all the testing on my box at home though first.

With XFree86 3.3 (Woody, 2.4.17 custom kernel) once I got USB working

Section "XInput"

  DeviceName "USB Mouse"

  Alwayscore

to get my USB wheel mouse (a logitech) working. I'm not sure about

though. See http://www.linux-usb.org for information on things you
might have to do.

you need to add it as a file type too.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

This doesn't answer your question but I was wondering the same thing and
actually found a man page 'man initrd'.I still don't understand it but
its a start :) I don't think you need it for many situations (initrd),
thats why your compiled kernels work.

Since you put newsguy.com and dslextreme.com as local domains that is
what I'd expect. 

If you want to change email addresses when sending mail outside your
little LAN you probably want to look at /etc/email-addresses (the
standard Debian install should have a rewrite rule) and add rewrites
there (reader -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] and so on).

I hope I'm big of some help

Your kernel and Debian 2.2 kernel are compiled without initrd.  Debian
2.4 kernel is compiled with initrd.

As I understand, initrd makes kernel more _flexible_ to support more
hardware configurations with a single modular kernel.  It can support
ext3, for example, if configured right.   More on my web page below
under EXT3.



It is slower since it prompt user input during boot time.

I am playing with it too in woody.

I needed to install php4 module by "apt-get install php4" as you might
have already done.

Also, /etc/apache/httpd.conf I needed few things.
1. comment out to enable php4 module

LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp4.so

2. My php page have extention .php   In order index.php to be auto
started like index.html, I editted as:

# DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
# directory index.  Separate multiple entries with spaces.
#

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.cgi index.php


3.  If any files with .html needs to be php, I could enable it by:

#
# And for PHP 4.x, use:
#
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

I do not know this last config is right thing to do or not.  
It works, though :)

IMAP questions

[Matthew Daubenspeck]

The IMAP quandary never ends! I have been using exim with UW-Imap with 
SqurrelMail for some time and have basically hated it's slow performance. I 
started messing around with courier-imap and have been able to change exim 
to deliver using maildir. What am improvement! However, my old qpopper POP3 
setup no longer works. Is there a way to make qpopper work with maildir?


I am running debian stable, and see that there is no courier-pop until 
unstable. I tried the install but there were a few packages that I didn't 
trust upgrading. Is there another POP3 daemon that will support maildir?


Thanks in advance.

Install boot hang with Supermicro 5011H and Debian Linux

- Forwarded message -

I'm trying to get Debian GNU/Linux installed on a new Supermicro 5011H
server.  The system locks up completely after downloading sequencer code for
both channels of the onboard Adaptec AIC-7899 and requires a power-down
reset to get it going again.  I've tried both Debian 2.2r3 and the compact
install for Debian 3 (testing) and the result is the same.  Both installs
use Linux 2.2.x kernels.  Any suggestions about how to get around this?

This morning I tried installing RedHat 6.1 on the system and the boot
proceeded with no problem, loading the aic7xxx SCSI driver and starting to
load packages onto the system.  I don't want to use RedHat on this box!  I
expect that manufacturer's tech support, whom I cc'd on my previous post,
will tell me that that's the Linux they support and guarantee to be
operational with the system, but I've been using Debian for years and the
general engineering of it is much better than Red Hat.

stuck at about 800x600. Anyone that has a XFree86Config-4 file for a AGP
Nvidia card that gives you higher than 800x600? I could use some help
with getting mine tweaked up. Thanks.

compiling slapd with tls

[Ramin Motakef]

Hi,
i need TLS with slapd, so i downloaded the debian source package,
changed debian/rules (--without-tls to --with-tls) and made binary
packages.

They compiled fine, however they do not run:

deb1:~# slapd -f /etc/ldap/slapd.conf -d 255 -h "ldap:/// ldaps:///"
@(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.0.23-Release (Sam Mär 16 17:04:30 CET 2002) $
[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]:/home/ramin/tmp/server/ldap/openldap2-2.0.23/debian/build/servers/slapd
daemon_init: ldap:/// ldaps:///
daemon_init: listen on ldap:///
daemon_init: listen on ldaps:///
daemon_init: 2 listeners to open...
ldap_url_parse_ext(ldap:///)
slap_get_listener_addresses: getaddrinfo ai_addr is NULL?
slapd stopped.
connections_destroy: nothing to destroy.

The same error occurs without the -h options.

Some info:
- I used "fakeroot debian/rules binary" to make the debs.
- Builded them on my host, and than installed inside vmware 
  (shoudn't matter i think)
- Both are latest sid.
- The original binary deb works fine.

Any thoughts?
Ramin

GL Screensaver problems

[Ross Burton]

Hi,

I am running Debian Sid and am having problems with the GL
screensavers.  I have a nVidia GeForce2 MX and the latest (2813?)
drivers compiled.

If I run "atlantis" from a terminal it runs fine, accelerated.  If I run
"atlantis -root" that also runs fine.  However, if I select Atlantis in
GNOME Control Centre and hit Lock Screen, I get told that xscreensaver
"could not create GL context for visual 0x21".  There is a hint that I
should check the ulimit but "ulimit -v" shows unlimited.

Has anyone else seen this problem?  I want GL screensavers!  :(

Thanks,
Ross

It isn't totally practicle to do a netinstall.  These images are being 
burned for a friend on dialup.  Thus the two parts of the question below.

libapache-mod-mp3 == no webserver

** Im off list please CC: me!

Hi,

I've just setup lib-apache-mod-mp3 to run off a virtual host of

nothing on port 80.

Any ideas?

Serial port question

It opens up the serial ports, sends a few charatcers, and then listens for

USB Mouse potato

[Matthew Linden]

X fails because I cannot configure the mouse. A USB wheel
mouse. Unfortunately my machine has four USB ports, no PS/2 or serial
ports, so using a different mouse type is out of the question.

Debian version is potato. I would like to avoid having to download woody
if possible.


Strangely, an probably of no relation to my USB problem, dmesg reports
that a PS/2 mouse port was found. STrange because there is no PS/2 port on
the machine.

Please help!

If dselect is configured to use apt as its access method (which is the
default these days), then 'dselect update' does an 'apt-get update'
itself and uses its output to update /var/lib/dpkg/available.

No. Both download the lists of all available packages. (Don't confuse
'update' with 'upgrade'.)

newgrp, if you like, but it only affects the current shell and future
subshells. Since one process can't affect the supplementary group ids of
another process in Unix (although it may be able to in the Hurd, one
day), and since if you're in X you'll need to change the group ids of
the shell running your .xsession, it's often simpler to log out and back
in.

I had that thought too, but restrained myself from answering Gary since
I hoped someone would come up with another solution. logout/login kind
of remembers me of Windows. Is there another way?

Have you relogged in after you added yourselfses to the group? I think a
simple logout and login will make you see that you are really added to the
groups.

openmosix debian mini howto version 0.2

[malix]

Hi all,
   I have this mini howto a little detailer changed.
   Any suggestion is wellcome. see:

Title: openmosix-debian-mini-howto



  
   
OpenMosix Debian mini HOWTO
  
  version 0.2
  Malix Ren
    I have a box of MMX166 and a thinkpad T22(PIII 900), both 
 with Debian Woody installed.Here is a short description for playing with
 openmosix.
   
 

   install mosix package, because I need the /etc/mosix.map 
 and   /etc/init.d/mosixand etc.(now there is yet no corresponding deb 
 files   for openmosix );
 patch and recompile the kernel with your willing.
   I have used make-kpkg(in packages "kernel-packages") to make new 
 kernel-imagepackage, thus can i install it to every machine;
 /etc/hosts:
  192.168.100.101 mosix_1
 192.168.100.102 mosix_2
   /etc/mosix.map 
1 mosix_1 1 
   2 mosix_2 2
 in mosix_1 : 
  ifconfig eth:0 192.168.100.101 netmask 255.255.255.0
 Actually I have 2 3COM 905B net card in MMX166 installed, as it serves 
   as my Web Server and NAT Gateway for T22. So I configured it in my /etc/network/interfaces 
  like this: 
              auto eth1 iface 
eth1   inet static
             address 192.168.100.101
             netmask 255.255.255.0
             network 192.168.100.0
             broadcast 192.168.200.255
		             
  
           in mosix_2 : 
                 
  ifconfig eth:0 192.168.100.102 netmask   255.255.255.0
           in /etc/network/interfaces
  :
             auto eth0
             iface eth0
inet   static
             address 192.168.100.102
             netmask 255.255.255.0
             network 192.168.100.0
             broadcast 192.168.100.255
             gateway 192.168.100.101
 
both box must have the /etc/hosts and /etc/mosix.map
  Since I used the eth1 for mosix_1, so it is not the default net 
 enviromentfor mosix. It is needed to:
   #cat 1 > /etc/mosix/mospe
  
   this is needed for "setpe -p" option, and the detail information
is  in "man setpe".
 test:
     #awk 'BEGIN {for(i=0;i<1;i++)for(j=0;j<1;j++);}
     this will migrate.
     #awk 'BEGIN {for(i=0;i<1;i++)for(j=0;j<1;j++)print 
  i,j;}
     this will not migrate,bcause of stdout used.
     #awk 'BEGIN {for(i=0;i<1;i++)for(j=0;j<1;j++)c=i+j; 
   print c;}
     calculation will migrate, and the result
will   back   to  the original box.
 
 hope it will help.

add two to the group, only one shows up?

[Gary Turner]

I added myself (gt) to my dialout group.  Simple enough.  When I ran
'groups' dialout was not one of gt's groups.
So I added my other user (garyt) to my group file.  su to garyt and run
groups and there he is.  su back to gt, run groups -- not there.  Back
to root, edit file reversing the order of the users (thinking to expose
a syntactical error).  All to no avail.  garyt can join the group and gt
can't.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Re: Changing from a PS/2 mouse to a USB mouse?

[Jules]

Yeah, the above post sounded right.  This worked for me:

USB Human Interface Device (HID) Configuration :
http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x194.html

Plug in a USB mouse and check that your mouse has been correctly sensed 
by the kernel. If you don't have a kernel message, look for the changes 
to /proc/bus/usb/devices.


mkdir /dev/input
mknod /dev/input/mice c 13 63

If you cat /dev/input/mice you should see some bizarre looking 
characters as you move the mouse or click any of the buttons.


You need to edit the XF86Config-4 file (usually /etc/X11/XF86Config-4).
If you are using XFree86 version 4.0 or later, add a InputDevice section 
that looks like the following: 


Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "USB Mice"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "Protocol"   "IMPS/2"
Option  "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
EndSection 

or, if you want to use a wheel mouse, something like: 


Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "USB Mice"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "Protocol"   "IMPS/2"
Option  "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option  "ZAxisMapping"   "4 5"
Option  "Buttons""5"
EndSection 

InputDevice "USB Mice" "CorePointer" 




If you want to use both a USB mouse (or USB mice) and some other kind of 
pointer device, then add (do not replace) the following line to the 
applicable 
ServerLayout sections: 
InputDevice "USB Mice" "SendCoreEvents"


Restart the X server. If you don't have any mouse support at this point, 
remember that Ctrl-Alt-F1 will get you a virtual terminal that you can 
use to kill the xserver and start debugging from the error messages.


If you want to use the mouse under gpm, run (or kill and restart if it 
is already running) gpm with the following options. 


gpm -m /dev/input/mice -t imps2

Have you uncommented -

Re: Printing through Samba

[Tib]

I got it working, somewhat. The script does kick off and the 2k PC with 
the shared printer starts a print job, then finishes the printjob 1 second 
later without having printed a thing, and smbclient reports a successful 
print. Ideas?

Do you have scsi-cdrom support in your kernel ? If you compiled it as a 
module, is it loading ?

exim uses address rewriting.  You can either do this directly in the exim file
(look at the last section) or use /etc/email-addresses.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What happens if you comment out Emulate3buttons ? Why do you need emulation 
when you have the real thing ?
