awk segfault on make menuconfig to build kernel
The first time that I tried the kernel build from source, I unpacked the kernel source and did all steps as root. That shouldn't cause any permissions problems as far as I can tell. Since getting the suggestion to do the process as a non-root user, I have done all steps including unpacking the kernel source as a non-root user. The owner of /usr/src is set to user, as is the file kernel-source-2.4.19.tar.bz2. That file is unpacked by the same non root user, and the config file is copied by that user. I run make menuconfig by the same user, and get the same error as I got when the entire process was run as root. I've tested the process with kernel-source-2.4.18, and make menuconfig runs fine with that package. So it looks like there's something different with 2.4.19 that's causing a problem. Thanks, Dave De Graff The error for make menuconfig with kernel-source-2.4.19 is: make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.19/scripts/lxdialog' /bin/sh scripts/Menuconfig arch/i386/config.in Using defaults found in .config Preparing scripts: functions, parsingscripts/Menuconfig: line 1: 1250 Segmentation fault awk "$1" Awk died with error code 139.

It turned out that I had compiled a newer version of libstdc++ way-back-when and left it in /usr/local/lib . After the upgrade to Woody, applications in the distribution were trying to use it, and were causing the seg fault. Removing the shared library in /usr/local/lib remedied the problem.

Re: awk segfault on make menuconfig to build kernel
Thanks, Elizabeth. That theory makes quite a bit of sense, particularly since I compiled postgresql without using .deb packaging several weeks ago. Unfortunately I have little clue as to how to sort through /usr/lib for what might be the offending libary. The one that you mentioned is older than the machine installation, so it's most likely part of the base install. I thought that by recompiling awk from source with the current set of libraries I might resolve such an issue, but no luck. I just did that (going from debian source to debian package and installing that), and the same error returns when I do make menuconfig. Will dig through and see what I can come up with.

I now run a Cable Modem Internet connection, but maybe I can recall all the steps. 1. In setting up demand dialing with pppconfig, you have to go into the "advanced" section at the end and select "demand". It looks like you found this one. I used the "provider" profile in pppconfig, and I think some of the other scripts involved depend upon using this name. 2. If you look at /etc/init.d/ppp you will see some instructions at the top of the file for other changes you have to make. Mainly you have to rename the "/etc/ppp/no_ppp_on_boot" file to "/etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot". There are some other instructions contained in this re-named file. You should open it up with an editor and read it. You may or may not have to make some further changes depending upon your setup. 3. I didn't have to mess with the local and remote IPs with the above. These were taken care-of automatically. About the only other setting to worry about is the "use peerdns" setting, which you probably already have set correctly with your current setup. 4. If you are running ipmasq and/or a firewall, you will probably have an additional problem. Most programs I have seen depend upon having an external interface and an external IP defined (existing) before you start the ipmasq/firwall. In demand-dialing with DHCP IP assignment, neither of these exist until you make the connection. This is the classic "chicken and egg" problem! The way around this is to start up your ipmasq/firewall program every time AFTER you establish a connection with pppd. This is easily done by adding a small executable "start" script pointing towards your ipmasq/firewall program in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ directory. Be careful what you name this script. You want it to fire up fairly quickly, and before any of the other scripts in this directory that depend upon an internet connection are run. Those are mainly for your MTA (posfix, exim, sendmail). The scripts in this directory are run in "cannonical order" (whatever that means), so the name you give it is important. Those were the major "gotchas" that I can remember. If things are working OK,

What IMAP daemon are you using? which have you tried? There's a number of them out there -- the UW imapd, Courier, and Cyrus are the most typical, but I know there are others out there, and variants on each of these. I've been using Courier for about a year now, and it's incredibly lightweight.

I've got it working on my machine, currently. I've got pilot-link 0.11.3 and jpilot 0.99.2. In addition, I've set the following in my .bash_profile: PILOTRATE=115200 PALM_ADDRESS_DATABASE=$HOME/.jpilot/AddressDB.pdb export PILOTRATE PALM_ADDRESS_DATABASE PILOTRATE sets the rate at which the palm syncs with the system. The jpilot FAQ suggests that if you have problems you set it to a lower rate (such as 9600 or 14400).

Mozilla dead keys
I am using Mozilla & Galeon at Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 PowerPC testing. I have an iBook with US keyboard, and use the US-intl keyboard which gives me Western European diacritical accented characters using the tilde, quote, apostrophe, circumflex and grave dead keys. The original characters are given by typing the key twice or followed by a space. I can use dead keys both in console and in X, using Gnome mostly. But I can't use them properly in neither Mozilla nor Gnome. The URL boxes are OK, but neither HTML forms nor email bodies or headers. I do not get neither accented character nor the simple quote, apostrophe, tilde, grave or circumflex. I already revised all my locale and keyboard configurations with help from the user-portuguese list, and no one could help me there. I am about to file a bug, but thought it might be expedient to raise the issue here.

I find it really amazing how often I see statements like this. This mailing list is _not_ set up in a counter-intuitive way. The headers of every message sent contain everything necessary for an MUA to know where to sent list responses. There are at least two major factions of thought on how a mailing list should be set up. One suggests that lists should munge their headers so responses are forced to the list and the other suggests that MUAs should be updated. Personally I prefer the later and have previously notified the Sylpheed author of it's deficiency in this regard. I even provided a patch to provide list reply functionality. Unfortunately, based on the configuration of the Sylpheed list, the author appears to favor list munging and has not included the patch. -- Jamin W.

Each of my mailing lists go to a folder. The folder has an option 'this folder contains a mailing list' and I set the mailing lists address. Then i hit list-reply and it uses that address and only that address when it sends the mail. Simple, elegant and 100% avoids the wars over headers. If the sylpheed author won't accept that option either then people should stop supporting a project which does not support them. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

A bad depends wouldn't show up there, but would affect actually running the program. I tried running kpackage and got the message that it couldn't find 4.0.3, which confirms that there is a problem.

No, but it only generates the message if the file it's attempting to overwrite was actually part of another package (so in /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list). /usr/bin/pager is just created by update-alternatives, so isn't recorded.

I've done something similar with gnus/emacs, which lets you set custom headers on a per-folder basis. I have set things up so that messages sent from the debian-user folder always have a to: field of [EMAIL PROTECTED] and a Mail-Followup-To: field with the same. The only drawback I've found is that hittint 'R' to reply to the sender instead of the mailing list no longer works and I have to manually modify the headers... if anyone knows how to fix this, I would appreciate that they share the information :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Exim - DNS problem
I'm having an annoying problem with exim every time "exim -q" is run by cron. Exim then causes two DNS query's to my local nameserver, namely for: - galadriel.fjphome.nl (the correct fully quallified name) - galadriel (unqualified!) The first query gets solved by my DNS, but the second does not and so sometimes this query gets forwarded to the internet which causes a dial-out (which I don't want as my phone bill is high enough as it is;-). The box causing the problem is Woody with IPv6 enabled and a default exim setup for "Local delivery only" (option 4 in eximconfig). My nameserver is bind on a Potato box (not yet upgraded). Questions - Why does Exim request the unqualified name after the fully qualified name has been resolved? - Can I stop Exim from making the unqualified request? - Can I make my nameserver resolve the unqualified request?

I don't know off the top of my head, but you can try:
\usepackage{textcomp}
\textcent
The textcomp package provides many of the funky symbols, and
additionally defines friendly names for them. That ought to do it

This doesn't work on all cards, > and usually the changed address only lasts until the next boot. Since you brought the interface down, and back up with a different MAC address, there won't be any problem, AS LONG AS YOU PICK A MAC ADDRESS UNIQUE to your IP Subnet. The MAC address goes in the layer 2 header, both source and destination. With IP, if you are sending a packet to another host that is on the same IP sub-net as you (as determined you your IP address, their IP address, and your subnet mask) you ARP for that hosts MAC address, and put it in the destitnation MAC address field in the layer 2 header. If you are sending a packet to another host that is NOT on the same IP sub-net as you, you ARP for the MAC address of your default gateway, and put your default-gateway's MAC address in the destination MAC address field in the layer 2 header. This way, the proper device picks up the packet based upon the layer 2 data. Otherwise, every node on a sub-net would have to look at every packet to see if the layer 3 addressing meant it was for them . . . . If DNS is the issue here, can I suggest that you use DynDNS.org, and use ddclient to update your name there? And then use a cname in the real dns name you want to use? For example, register myhostname.homeip.net at DynDNS.org, and use ddclient to update dyndns.org with myhostname.homeip.net (your machine)'s new, changed, dhcp-served IP address everytime you get a new one (it runs as a daemon and monitors ppp0 (a pppoe link) on my machines. So, myhostname.homeip.net will always resolve to your host's IP address, eventhough that address may change several times a day. Then, in your "permanent", real DNS, make myhostname.mydomain.com.CNAME myhostname.homeip.net. This way, all lookups for myhostname.mydomain.com, generate a second lookup to resove the CNAME, myhostname.homeip.net, and will return the proper IP address. The only catch to this is MX records. If your dynamicly-assigned IP address is a mail-exchanger, the MX records will have to use the dynamic DNS name, since you can't use CNAME's in MX records. so, in the mydomain.com zone file: mydomain.com. MX 100 myhostname.homeip.net. will make your host the mail-exchanger for your domain, eventhough it's in the homeip.net domain . . . hope this helps . . . madmac > > -- Doug MacFarlane [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If at all possible you should boot from an emergency disk/CD. In any case, it is dangerous to run fsck on a filesystem that is mounted read-write. If you can boot from floppy/CD don't mount the filesystem at all, and if you have to boot from HD don't remount it rw. > That gave me: "FILE SYSTEM MODIFIED", I rebooted and the system keeps > complaning as before. Does somebody recognise this? Don't stop after you run fsck once. Keep running it until it doesn't tell you about any more errors. If you have too many errors you may want to just save what data you can to another partition, wipe that one, and restore from a backup. You should also make yourself a note about this, filesystem corruption can sometimes be caused by a hardware problem. -- Michael Heironimus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I would try running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and when it asks about your mouse, tell it /dev/input/mice for the device (rather than the default, which is /dev/psaux). This will also prompt you for a bunch more info on your X configuration, and will overwrite any existing config (after asking, of course), so use it with caution. -- David Roundy http://civet.berkeley.edu/droundy/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You might try installing the hotplug package. It will attempt to load the correct drivers for devices it recognizes, USB mice being among the known devices. -- Jamin W.

Default woody configuration for XFree86 includes configuration for both a PS2 and USB mouse. Chances are that the OP doesn't have the USB drivers loaded. -- Jamin W.

When I built up this box with Debian, I installed a video driver from Matrox for my G550 dual monitor card. The Matrox install script apparently installed some additional code that made my stock XFree v4.1 look more like v4.2, the latter of which supports the Matrox G550 card. Earlier today, when I did the upgrade to testing, my XFree was apparently overwrote and returned to a more standard 4.1 version. My loss of X was restored by simply rerunning the Matrox install script. Thanks, especially to Tom, for the help. Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
