Let me make sure I understand the question: you're trying to choose between two options. 1) Have your MUA (KMail) send outgoing mail directly to your ISP's mail relay. 2) Run an MTA like sendmail locally, have it relay outgoing mail up to your ISP, and configure the MUA to route outgoing mail through the local MTA. Right? > what if you want to send mail from something else? for instance the console > program 'reportbug' which helps you submit proper bug reports. That's one reason for option #2, sure. Another one: if, for whatever reason, the connection between you and your ISP is unavailable for a while, a locally-running MTA will automatically queue outgoing mail until delivery becomes possible again.

I > have sat reading the various files about setting it up, but have drawn a > blank. Having a bit of a confusing time atm ;-) Using "sendmail" is usually a generic term for calling sendmail directly or a sendmail wrapper(postfix, qmail and maybe exim have them), which allows you to spool to your local mail system without connecting over a network(some systems don't have a MTA listening on a port), it can be faster too. by doing this you sometimes have more control over the message delivery then if you were to use a remote mail server. you could have the mail server queue the message and send it when your system connects to the internet(in the case that its not a dedicated connection). since I run my own mail servers i usually just use SMTP(my mail client of choice is Squirrelmail and netscape 4.7x) nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

What do I need to put in my /etc/apt/sources.list to get unstable non-us packages? Is there such a thing? When I edit it via the Access item in dselect, and I add the server http://non-us.debian.org/ , it then gives me the options of adding "stable unstable frozen non-US". It seems to me I have a choice of unstable or non-US, but not both.

When using procmail, you probably will want to sort things into different mailboxes (mbox or maildir) and subscribe to the various mailing lists (lookup mailboxes and subscribe in the mutt manual, F1).

More attachment stuff; this is just how VM handles attachments interposed into the body of the message. I'd attached the two config files, then kept typing; VM basically considers everything after the first attachment to be an attachment, possibly of type text/plain with inline content disposition. On a related note, how come /var/lib/dpkg/available keeps getting hosed? It's happened to me twice now. The first time, I figured I was SOL and re-installed from scratch (fortunately I didn't lose much). It happened again about an hour ago, but I recovered by blowing away the existing copy (on the grounds that I didn't have anything to lose) and rerunning `dselect update', which recreated it correctly.

For exim, start here : http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-user%40lists.debian.org/msg82754.html The configuration that 'eximconfig' generates will automatically use procmail if you have a ~/.procmailrc file. For fetchmail, this is how it's done : poll protocol imap user , password "" is here options fetchall , stripcr , mda "/usr/sbin/exim %T" Replace "imap" with "pop3" for your pop3 account. Note that I specify an mda. It will use a local pipe to pass the message to it. This is more reliable than the default, which is to use SMTP to connect to localhost. The reason is, like I just told Karl, fetchmail is not an SMTP server and it won't queue and retry messages that fail to be delivered. A local pipe is much less likely to suffer from problems like that. For procmail, 'man procmailrc' and 'man procmailex' and take some tylenol ;-). If you want to try out exim's filter mechanism, see /usr/share/doc/exim/filter.txt.gz. To start you out with it, put this in ~/.forward : ~~ # Exim filter # be sure that error messages will be delivered to /var/mail/$USER # regardless of any potential errors in the rest of the filter if error_message then finish endif # If it is addressed directly to me and doesn't have a Mailing-List header if "$header_To: $header_Cc" matches "(dsh8290|dman)@.*" and "$header_X-Mailing-List: $header_List-Id:" is " " then save $home/Mail/1Inbox/ finish endif # # any debian mailing list # if $header_X-Mailing-List: matches "(debian-.*)@lists\.debian\.org" then save $home/Mail/lists/$1/ finish endif You can certainly do a lot more such as discarding junk mail that is tagged or messages with "unsubscribe" in the subject. As you can see, /var/mail/$USER isn't my "real" inbox. Mutt will work out-of-the-box, but there is lots you can do to make it better.

Then, renamed /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11 (which are now updated to 4.2.0) to /usr/X11R6-420 and /etc/X11-420 Then made symlink: /etc/X11 -> /etc/X11-420, and /usr/X11R6 -> /usr/X11R6-420 That should do it. The real problem is when apt wants to update the xfree-packages during a routine apt-get update. I've been reading the manpage for apt_preferences(5), and there seems to be a way to manually keep apt from upgrading certain packages. I am not sure that I understand that process yet, but it is worth checking in to. Right now, if I see that apt wants to upgrade the x server stuff, I will switch the symlinks back to /usr/X11R6-dkpg and /etc/X11-dkpg before starting the upgrade. Ugh.

This is a known bug in pcmcia where it uses insmod instead of modprobe
to load the PIC module. You can work around it by putting isapnp into

And this way I found out that the problem has disappeared in the current version of exim!!! So, anyone who is annoyed by this DNS lookup of exim can simply set the following option and it should work fine without looking up the name of the localhost all the time (it does here): # This specifies the name of the current host. This is used in the HELO # command for outgoing SMTP messages, and as the default for # qualify_domain. # If it is not set, Exim calls uname() to find it. If this fails, Exim # panics and dies. If the name returned by uname() contains only one # component, Exim passes it to gethostbyname() in order to obtain the # fully qualified version. primary_hostname = MyMachineName I suggest that Mark Baker considers to integrate this in the default exim.conf file. Then he could close the bug #96633 as well. Thanks for your help Ben.

The r=, p=, etc. are setup parameters and should not appear in the name of printer area. The apsfilter configurator will generate a printcap file for you. (Is apsfilter the latest?) Try renaming your existing printcap and run apsfilter config again. My Apsfilter-built printcap file is attached. "raw" is the printer name for my dot matrix using ASCII text and "pandot" is the name for the same printer when printing ps or other format. You must use the printer name in the print command (or it defaults to the unfiltered "lp") to get it to use the filter. Thus, lpr -Praw, or lpr -Ppandot. Before I learned this trick, my print jobs would, in some cases, disappear as do yours. (Don't know why it happens, I just avoid it.)

Re: X window system
john gennard wrote:
I have installed Potato 2.2r4 on a third box and am
having difficulty in getting X to work.The mobo and
cpu were running Potato on an upgraded box, and the
harddisk held Slink for a long time.Kernel is 2.2.19,
and xfree-common etc packages are v.3.3.6-11.
Normally, Debian gets X to go OK after I run
'xf86config'. This time it didn't and initially gave
problems with fonts about which I asked for and got
help. What happens now is:-
1. Booting is apparently normal but I get dumped into
a blank screen. Ctrl+Alt+Fx puts me into a console
and I can use the system normally except that during
the first two or three commandline instructions I
get the error message:-
'probable hardware bug:clock timer configuration
lost - probably a VIA686a.
restoring chip configuration'
If you custom compile a kernel, you might find some bug work-arounds for
various chipsets. This might solve this issue; might not.
2. If I then run 'startx', I'm told:-
'server is already active for display 0
Xlib - connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib - Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE etc
xinit - unable to connect etc, no such process
(errno3) etc'
I expect this for I understand that display is the
default, but which program sets it.
From your description at top of message, it sounds like X is running;
it's just producing a blank screen. Therefore you can't start X on the
same display. For kicks, you might try "startx -- :1" to start X on the
second display (Ctrl-Alt-F8 instead of Ctrl-Alt-F7 to switch to it if
you switch away from it with Alt-Fx). Alternatively, you can kill X ("ps
ax" and kill whatever X processes are running, or Ctrl-Alt-F7 to switch
back to the X display, followed by Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to ungracefully
"force quit" X). You probably also have some sort of session manager
running; you'll probably have to stop that also
("/etc/init.d/[x|d|w|k|g]dm stop"), or the "X logon screen" will just
start up again. Then "startx 2>startx.log" will start X manually and log
the error messages to the file "startx.log".
You might also try Ctrl-Alt-+ or Ctrl-Alt-- (the + and - keys on the
keypad) while in the original X (Ctrl-Alt-F7 to return to it) screen, to
switch "resolutions", which might give you a usable screen.
My suspicion is that something about the video setup is wrong in XF86Config.
Comparing 'printenv' with my other two boxes,
'DISPLAY=:0.0' and 'KDE_DISPLAY=:0.0' are missing
and my attempts to set these by hand fail - they
disappear on reboot.
X will try to use the first available display, which in this case will
default to :0.0. I'm 99.734% confident you don't need to worry about
this just for normal X use.
4. If I try to run 'XF86Setup', I fail - error:-
'X11TransSocketUNIXconnect - can't connect: error111.
presumably because X is still running. Kill it as mentioned above, then
try running XF86Setup.
I should have got to grips with X window system when
I first started, didn't do so and now find the docs
confuse me (most are not Debian specific).
Is the above sufficient to enable a diagnosis of the
problem to be made? Could someone give me a short
rundown on the basics as they relate to Debian.
I'd be very grateful for help. I have two other boxes
runnin 2.2.r4, but I cannot trace any files missing
which could account for my problem.

It totally rewrote printcap to remove the filters, which was fine for simple text documents, but leaves a lot to be desired elsewhere! I went back and SETUP the apsfilter, and changed the first line from aps1|hl1250;r=600x600;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=auto:\ to aps1|hl1250:r=600x600;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=auto:\ This produced the "bad printer name" catastrophe. So, I changed it to aps1:r=600x600;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=auto:\ ...and it printed (from KWord)--except the first two lines were missing (outside the margins?) and there was only one typeface (~arial). However, fontsize (10pt, 12pt) and bolding appeared to work fine! Thanks again for the help. Eventually migrating to CUPS may help, but that appears to be a future try. Have a great day!

If you want accelerated 3D, you'll need to use the nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-src packages in non-free - you have to build a kernel module. I did this in conjunction with the 2.4.18 kernel source and kernel-package - the command line looked like this: make-kpkg --added_modules nvidia-kernel-1.0.2802 kernel_image modules. (your version number may change - check /usr/src/modules) I then installed the resultant .deb file with "dpkg -i" to get a new kernel.

Of course, they had no information posted on how they accomplished that. I sure hope that there's a way to accomplish this. I'd hate to have to put a video card in a box that already has one built in.

Re: Can't download pppoeconf - was ( Woody installation problem)
After filing a bug on this problem #140540 I've received some helpful info from Eduard Bloch and the bug has been closed (there wasn't a bug with the boot floppies package, it seems it was with the CD's) The problem seems to be the basedebs file on the CD is incorrect. Supposedly you can download a newer version of the basdebs file and use this (I'm not sure how) or you can just do a clean install from the network (do not use the CD's at all, as this will read the broken basedebs file and then even the network install will fail). The only thing I do no understand yet is why the CD's worked fine in a system that booted from them, but failed when using the boot floopies on some older systems that lacked bootable CD capability. Now on to making some working systems (actually my laptop power supply seems to have died, and it was the laptop that started all this).

Fwd: Re: where are the woody iso files?
I tried installing Debian 2.2-r5 but my nvidia driver wasn't supported. I was hoping that woody would include the driver. I've been through the installation process (2.2-r5) a few times but it always hangs up towards the end when trying to access the video card . I have downloaded the nvidia tar.gz driver file. If woody doesn't contain my video driver, I was going to get Debian running in text mode and then install the driver and configure my video from there. As a newbie, I would prefer not to go down that road if there is an easier way.

If you are a person doing first Debian install, try installing potato CD. Then upgrade to woody when you are ready through network. Burning CD is waiste of bandwidth unless you are testing them as a skilled tester. If you have decent net connection like me, all you need is 2 to 10 floppy disks.

G'day
I'm new to DEBIAN and need some help/pointer on how to get some sort of X
session going. xstart doesn't work.
I can log in at a character session (as root) but startx fails to start as
there is no config file. I had problems during the install with any X type
modules (XFree86?). I don't (didn't) know the Laptop settings, hardware etc.
Found a few pages that now tell me what it is but how do I now go about
installing/setting up some sort of X session provider?
Hardware Details:
COMPAQ Armada E500
128MB RAM
single CPU
From another site I found (google is cool) I think this may apply:
14" TFT screen 1024x768
PS/2 touchpad
Lucent Winmodem
Intel 440 BX chipset
Apparently I'm to use XFree86 3.3.6 (or higher) and ther is some talk about
SuSE tool - whatever that is?
Unless you have need to stay with Xv3, I think you'll find that you have
more success with version 4. What I would do if I were you is to change
my /etc/apt/sources.list file to point to sid instead of
stable/potato|testing/woody (except for the security line, which I'd
leave at stable), and then do a dselect update/install. This will
upgrade your entire system to the newest ("alpha") stuff (this is not
something to do on a production server, but for a laptop workstation
that can stand to have a couple of days (usually minor) brokenness every
other upgrade or so, it's fine).
However, if you want to stay with the system you have, run one of the
following tools (depending on what version of X/Debian you have) to
create a configuration file:
xf86config
XF86Setup
xf86cfg
xf86cfg -textmode
Hopefully this will get you to the next stage.

You can't expect to do any big development (the kernel source eats up a pretty good chunk of space, for example). You may need to be a bit selective to keep space free; like, you might not want to install both KDE and gnome. I prefer icewm because it's light, fast, and reasonably "intuitive" for Windows users, but you shouldn't have any reason for space to be the determining factor. Even if you want a full "environment" rather than just a wm, like KDE, space probably won't be an issue. Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Lilo and smart array 5i
Just finnished a woody install on a machine *exactly* matching yours. No end of headaches, but finaly got it going. I used woody with 2.4.17 but should be the same. Basically what I did was Used the compaq smart start to set the bios system to support linux. setup raid arrays etc. Made a set of install disks Made my own custom kernel and modules with the cciss driver compiled in copied my kernel over the top of the boot disk kernel booted with that disk and begun installation when dbootstap said "cant find disk" I switched to terminal 2 and began a login prompt. Made all my /dev/cciss/c0d0 c0d0p1 etc. nodes with a mknod inside a for loop cfdisk /dev/cciss/c0d0 partitioned disks mke2fs -j /dev... all the filesystems mkswap for my swap partition mounted the root fs partition on /target mkdir'ed all the other parts mounted them switched back to alt-f1. debootstap recognised the disk was mounted and I began the install. Everything went fine. When it came to installing the module disks had to install the standard module disks then transfer across my kernels modules (using alt-f2 again) so I could load the ethernet device. Finished install via network. Made boot disk (lilo failed to install partition) rebooted with boot disk. Made /dev/cciss nodes again in root filesystem. Ran lilo. rebooted... still didn't boot pressed f8 on startup and set primary boot device. Booted! yay! Heres my setup bogey:~# lilo -V LILO version 22.2 bogey:~# cat /etc/lilo.conf | grep -v ^#|grep -v ^$ lba32 boot=/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 install=/boot/boot-menu.b map=/boot/map delay=20 vga=normal default=Linux image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only image=/vmlinuz.old label=LinuxOLD read-only optional image=/vmlinuz-original label=original read-only I think you need a pretty new version of lilo.

mutt and html viewers to specify w3m under x
hello, i run mutt in Eterm. with $DISPLAY set, it launches galeon to view html, but not only does galeon not find mutt.html (?), but i don't want to spawn another window (galeon). so, i unset $DISPLAY in that term, and mutt uses w3m to view html. this is nice, i like it better. i just found w3m-img, (displays images even in Eterm) which is currently in sid (i'm running woody, it installed just fine). my problem is, with $DISPLAY unset, w3m will not display the images. is there any way, within mutt, to specify w3m to view html and not let gnome use it's default? tia, jason -- --- | http://theigloo.dhs.org:81 | http://counter.li.org/| | Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 Woody | 2.4.16-k6 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | registered linux user #202942 | --- pgpgqnEwruB1q.pgp Description: PGP signature

This happens because the GTK+ layout manager needs that much space to fit all the controls in. I think the resizing is very annoying, too. You could try using smaller fonts or a larger resolution, so the crowded windows will still fit. Hm, I just tried to get the same resizing effect with the Control Center, and I couldn't get it to do that.
