cramfs: wrong magic, kernel panic

[Neal Pollock]

I was experimenting with different video modes and I can no longer boot my
system.  I was passing different modes at the prompt, and used 'scan' from
the video mode menu.  I chose a mode and couldn't see anything so I gave the
machine a clt-alt-del.  Now I can't boot either of my two kernels (2.2.20 &
2.4.18) from lilo, I get the following messages:

(2.4.18)
Partition check:

Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 3:46

If I use the debian boot disk I get this messsge:

Kernel panic: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.

I'm not sure why there's mention of 'MS-DOS FS' since all of my dos
partitions are on /dev/hda and linux boots from /dev/hdb. Could I have reset
the computer while lilo was writing to the bootsector?

I don't know of an xterm that can scroll horizontally. That's not
something terminals can usually do. Just about any xterm should allow
you to resize the window to be more than 80 columns wide, though, which
may be good enough for what you're trying to do.

I use rxvt, mostly just because it has a nicer scrollbar than xterm. I
would like a really good GTK-based xterm, but the only ones I've seen
(gnome-terminal, powershell) haven't impressed me. I definitely don't
want a ton of gnome libraries being loaded just to open a terminal
window.

Ah, I missed that (obviously).  I saw that the office computer from

rest.  

Right then...his office computer has to running samba.

A Better XTerm?

[Josh Rehman]

I'm looking for a better XTerm. I'm using Konsole right now (the one
that KDE uses by default). 

The thing that I really want is the ability to horizontally scroll. The
commands "top" and "ps -aux" often create very wide output, and I'd like
to see it all. (I've been making the font very small as a workaround).
And if it's not asking too much, the ability to rename each session.

Thanks,
Josh Rehman

P.S. It was interesting to read about some of the xterms listed at:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/xfree86-common.html
However there is really too little information to go on here...

Virtual Host set up problem

[Brian Auty]

Hello,

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I've set up a Debian Server running Apache with 2 network cards - one for internal, 
one for external. The system works perfectly when I set up just one domain.

When I go to set up ip-based virtual hosting, I've followed these steps:

1) set up the additional ips in /etc/network/interfaces and restart networking - 
everything seems OK.
2) set up the virtual servers in /etc/apache/httpd.conf - both websites are set up as 
virtual that I want to host. The main server isn't visible to the net.
3) change /etc/hosts to contain the ips and hostnames required

The result is that the virtual host works for only one site.  The only thing I see 
that could be the problem is that running ifconfig - the virtual ip numbers don't 
show, but they are in the network interfaces file.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Brian

caveats with rp-pppoe and kernel 2.4.18?

[Shawn Lamson]

I recently successfully custom compiled a 2.4.18 kernel and the only
problem I am having is with rp-pppoe... all services are compiled into
the kernel, I have no modules at all.  I can manipulate eth0 and eth1
(only eth0 is relevant here) but i cannot use rp-pppoe to connect to
the internet.  I note that there is a new issue with 2.4.18 and
rp-pppoe in their install docs, has anyone been using this combination?
 Anything I need to know specific to Debian, as rp-pppoe seems to be
targeted at RedHat?  Any tips appreciated.

I normally run Testing, with a few packages pulled in from Unstable from
time to time when I want something that seems stalled. Occasionally,
there are installation problems from mismatches between packages (eg.
switches in ownership of a file), but the vast majority of problems that
I've had on my system (and those are few and far between) have been from
my own configuration adjustments not working out - problems in packages
are extremely rare in what I have installed, and I have much of
everything.

When the big batch of code moved from unstable to testing with the
release of Woody, I had no problems with any upgrades. I have a few
problems now from having pulled in Gnome 2 in unstable and experimental,
but otherwise, everything from testing has been fine, at least on i386.

I take it you mean gtk-config and glib-config, yes?  Are they not in
$PATH?  Does configure not just look in $PATH?  It should find them
there, and the -config executables should generate the proper -I and -L
flags for compiling and linking.

I think so far I probably haven't told you anything you don't already
know.  How about as an idea of how to proceed, try giving options to
configure, something like "./configure --with-gtk-prefix=/usr/lib"
(that's just OTTOMH; look at configure to see what option it might like
instead.)

What did you try setting GTK_CONFIG to?

If it's still just not working, how about downloading the debian package
source (apt-get source everybuddy) and looking at how it's done there?

good times,
Vineet

a quick search tells me that the latest KDE available in the offficial
debian archive is 2.2 in both testing and unstable:

http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages2.pl?keywords=kdebase&searchon=names&version=all&release=all
another quick search tells me that evolution in testing is the exact
same version as in stable:

http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages2.pl?keywords=evolution&searchon=names&version=all&release=all
I am not sure what version your looking for(I don't use either
of these applications).

I personally would wait a while before trying sarge, until the team gets
to somewhat of a freeze point(the freeze can last upwards of 6-8 months
or more until a release). At least during 2.2-> 3.0 upgrade testing
was quite stable for about a year before the release of woody(I say
quite stable as in I never had a broken package). Some people like
unstable for the latest & greatest and don't mind if a broken package
comes along once every few weeks(or few months). I'm not in that camp
though.

But packages.debian.org is your friend, if theres something you want
that you think is in testing, check the site first, as with your first
2 programs you asked about they are the same in testing & stable so
upgrading wouldn't change anything(if you were to stick to the official
archives at least, going to 3rd party sources may be different).

Also with testing(I stopped using testing when stable came out), I
find it useful to not upgrade often, once every 2-3 months not everyday
or every week, that helped me further avoid any potential problems, but
at the same time most of the software I use is mature enough to not
have many problems to begin with(e.g. I use afterstep from debian
potato as my window manager). Evolution, KDE, the latest gnome, the
latest mozilla, openoffice etc are all very complex programs and
have a higher risk when running the latest versions.

How "stable" is "testing"?

[Neal Lippman]

I am wondering how stable people are finding testing for use on their
workstations. I am running woody, and very happy with it. However, I
would like to be a bit more up to date with some of my software - for
instance, I'd like to be using KDE 3 instead of 2.2, and the newest
evolution, so I was thinking about doing a dist-upgrade to sarge. I
don't, however, look forward to severe breakage now that I finally have
my system configured and working.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.

NIS setup question

[Neal Lippman]

I don't think I understand the NIS Howto. I was left with the impression
that with libc6 installed, I would not need ypbind because libc6 knows
about NIS all by itself. 

I have set up another system as an NIS server (running ypserv), but my
client system cannot seem to see the information from that server.

It is the case that ypbind must be running on any NIS client system
regardless of whether it is using libc6 or not?

Thanks.

Perhaps 
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0202.3/0113.html
will help you.

I ran into that problem too. Another symptom was that tcpdump's of the
network interfaces would only should *outgoing* traffic. They could
talk, but not listen. Kernel 2.4.17 was OK in that respect.

The patch worked for me - but none of the patched machines use their
parport for anything else, so I cannot vouch for how a printer would
react.

IIRC it should be fixed in 2.4.19.

Setting up exim: was Setting up Sendmail

[Michael Olds]

Hello,

Not because I gave up on Sendmail, but because of another problem (for some
reason (I believe it had to do with uninstalling Sendmail which I did in
order to start from scratch and install the package from source) when I shut
down and restarted, Apache was unavailable, all the files are in place, but
it is listed as not installed and doesn't work. apachectl start would get no
sucha commandment...anyway, to fix the Apache problem I reinstalled,
reinstalling installed exim...so I thought I would give it a spin...). But
here I am in the same situation: I can send mail outside, but I cannot
receive mail from outside or internally. The error log reads:
date refused relay (host) to <~internal@~> from <~external@~>
and one from local to local

In other words, from my little understanding: the mail is getting to me, but
it isn't being distributed. In other words, no problem at the DNS level or
at the router, some problem either with exim config or in my Debian/linux
setup. I am not sure if my Sendmail problems were caused in the same way, if
so, the problem is with my Debian/Linux setup. I have read a couple of books
and looked on the exim site with no joy.

I have the following in exim.conf
local_domains = listed:all:variations domain:domain.net:mail.domain.net
I added:
hosts_treat_as_local = all the above listed here as well
relay_domains = all the above listed here as well
NOT UNCOMMENTED: RELAY_DOMAINS_INCLUDE_LOCAL_MX = TRUE
host_lookup = *
host_auth_accept_relay = * (none set up)

I also listed all the domains and variations of the names in
/etc/hosts_allow
ALL: domain
ALL: domain.net
and so forth one per line; did not do anything with hosts_deny

Any pointers? Any and all help appreciated.

Are you sure? He can connect from windows, and last I looked windows 
didn't support NFS out of the box, just SMB.  I'd be guessing smbmount 
personally.

Also, if you're right that it is NFS, then the laptop must already be in 
the server's /etc/exports or he wouldn't be able to mount from windows. 
So all he needs to do is modify the laptop's /etc/fstab.

I'll have to check this out.  One of my issues is the ability to
determine how many tracks I can fit on the CD.  The only way I've been
able to do this is to convert to wav first and add up the MB's.  The
music varies in size, obviously, and I've been able get a few as 12
songs and as many as 24 songs on a single CD.

Looks to me like TSG has setup NFS.  Which means that they will need
to add your laptop into the /etc/exports, /etc/hosts.deny, and
/etc/hosts.allow files on the server hosting the network drive.  All
you'd need to do is add an entry in your laptops /etc/fstab file to
mount the network directory at boot or on demand.  

Bottom-line...you need TSG to allow it first.  The rest is cake!

Re: Fixing IP, gateway, etc.

[nate]

DSC Publishing, LLC said:

IP, gateway, netmask, broadcast, and network addresses are
controlled by /etc/network/interfaces


DNS addresses are controlled by /etc/resolv.conf

proxy addresses are specific to the application, e.g. if your using
apt-get with proxy I think it stores the settings in /etc/apt/apt.conf
(see the manpage, the syntax of that file is somewhat cryptic to me)

lynx stores it's proxy settings in /etc/lynx.conf by default ..

other apps store the proxy setings elsewhere.

FTP address, well thats usually stored inside the FTP client, router
addresses..not sure what you mean here, you shouldn't need to
store any router addresses on your system other then the default
gateway.

once your all done use /etc/init.d/networking restart to reload
the network configuration.

If it doesn't work:

verify your IP address with:

ifconfig -a

verify your default router with:

route -n

verify your name servers with:

cat /etc/resolv.conf

if that is all correct then the problem is elsewhere, perhaps the ISP
did some other change to make it linux-unfriendly(though I can't think
of what it could be, my ISP is very linux friendly though they
do not support it, my DSL comes in over a bridged Cisco 678 which
plugs into my switch, everything is static configuration no DHCP no

The ABI was changed in 3.0 and again for 3.2.  If you link to another library

Installing Debian on a stubborn laptop

[Martin Rowe]

Hi folks

I have an old Toshiba 110CS laptop[1] that I'm trying to get Woody on to. 
After a few false starts I managed to get it booted and into the first 
stage of installation. It didn't like the first driver disk, but six 
floppies later I managed to find a disk it liked, and then it failed 
unpacking the drivers.tgz file it had built. Restarting from scratch 
several times still couldn't get it past that point.

The next move was to try for a pcmcia boot disk, that would let me use 
either my vaio cdrom drive, or a network card to get the appropriate 
file. As I had the Red Hat 7.3 cds, I thought I'd try the pcmcia boot 
disks from there, but they just complain that there is insufficient ram 
to install it, even in text and rescue mode. 

After that, I managed to hook it up to my home lan booting with tomsrtbt. 
That took a couple of goes - the floppy drive seems to be on its last 
legs :( I've now got the local hard drive mounted and also an nfs share 
from my server. What I'd like to do now is copy a base debian system over 
from my server to the laptop drive, then chroot into it, setup LILO, and 
boot direct from the hard disk. Then I'd just carry on with a network 
install, assuming I have pcmcia support. 

Now my questions: Does the base Debian system exist on the Woody cds in a 
form I can copy, or maybe somewhere else on the net? If not, how can I 
construct one? Does this sound workable and/or is there a more Debian way 
to do it?

Regards, Martin

SANE packages unmaintained : intent to take over

[Julien BLACHE]

[debian-user : please Cc me on replies, I'm not subscribed to the
list. Please avoid cross-posting on both lists. Please read the entire
mail, instructions inside.]

Hi,

A few days ago, a small thread [1] on -devel complained about SANE
packages (namely source packages sane-backends, sane-frontends and
xsane) being unmaintained.


I hereby announce my intent to *take over* the maintenance of these
packages, their current maintainer being clearly MIA. Anyone objecting
to this, please speak up now.

I have formed a small team composed of Aurélien JARNO
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Guido GUENTHER <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and me. Anyone
wanting to give a hand is welcome.


Maintainers depending on SANE and users of unstable might want to test
my 1.0.8-1 packages of sane-backends and sane-frontends, and my 0.88-1
packages of xsane. They are built from stock upstream source tarballs.

Those packages are up on [2]. This is an apt-able repository ; put the
following line(s) in your /etc/apt/sources.list :

 deb http://people.debian.org/~jblache/SANE unstable main
 deb-src http://people.debian.org/~jblache/SANE unstable main

i386 and powerpc binaries are available, along with sources and
binary-all packages. If you have another architecture at hand, please
contact me so we can work something out.


A few comments on these packages :

 - a new dependency is introduced : libieee1284, and is up at the same
   address. I will ITP this library shortly, as it's needed for the
   CANON_PP backend to work ;

 - sane-backends (libsane) was built with a maximum of backends
   enabled. I enabled the gphoto2 backend, so there are quite a few
   dependencies, and it's still unclear whether the final packages
   will be built with gphoto2 enabled or not. Only the PINT backend
   was left behind ;

 - sane-frontends (sane, sane-gimp1.2) : sane no longer depends on The
   GIMP. If you want a GIMP-enabled version of the sane package,
   install sane-gimp1.2 instead ;

 - xsane (xsane, xsane-gimp1.2, xsane-common) : xsane no longer
   depends on The GIMP. If you want a GIMP-enabled version of the
   xsane package, install xsane-gimp1.2 instead. Xsane was not built
   with GTK 2, because of the libpng issue which makes it impossible
   to install libpng2-dev and libpng3-dev at the same time, which
   would be needed to be able to build xsane (GTK 2) and xsane-gimp1.2
   (GTK 1.2) from the same source package. A new xsane-common arch-all
   package is built, containing the HTML documentation, some data
   files and the locales, for a total amount of around 2 MB, so it's
   worth it ;

 - for sane and xsane, GIMP 1.3 flavours might be built at some point,
   I need to have a closer look at this ;

 - all packages were repackaged from scratch, using debhelper.


Aurélien has put together a list of bugs for the 3 source packages,
which gives us the following estimation, after a quick review (for
unstable) :
 - 43 bugs in sane-backends, of which 13 can be closed, another 3
   could be closed but require further investigation ;
 - 24 bugs in sane-frontends, of which 9 can be closed, another 8
   could be closed but require further investigation ;
 - 25 bugs in xsane, of which 12 can be closed, another 5 could be
   closed but require further investigation.

The remaining bugs have a good chance to be fixed too, but tests
require some hardware we don't have, so we are going to contact their
submitters to have them test the packages if possible.


We are now going to investigate each bug to determine whether it's
fixed or not, affects stable or not, etc.

If you have reported a bug against one of these packages, and run
unstable, please install these packages, try to reproduce the bug, and
mail me and the bug log ([EMAIL PROTECTED], where xx is
the bug number) with the result of the test.

After we have done that, we will happily upload the new SANE packages
to unstable, closing an amazing number of bugs.

That done, we will roll out an update for stable, trying to fix as
many bugs as we can.


This is our roadmap as of now.


There are a bunch of wishlist bugs asking for new upstream versions to
be packaged, yet another bug of this sort was filed yesterday against
libsane (#162532). It's time.


As a last note, if you're compiling SANE by hand because of a backend
not included in the official SANE distribution, please mail me with
some details about this backend (URL, etc.). I'm thinking of a
libsane-extras (or whatever) package containing such backends, so
Debian users would be more comfortable with SANE in Debian.


Thanks for reading me, any comments welcome, flamewars go to
/dev/null, please.


JB.

You need an 2.4 kernel to use iptables. Do you use an 2.2 kernel (AFAIK
still the standard kernel for woody)?

"uname -r" should show you your kernel version.

I've only been using Debian for about 18 months now, but my impression
is that Debian's approach to keeping the kernel up to date is "don't
unless you have a really good reason to do so." For example, upgrading
from potato to woody did not require a kernel upgrade (and, so,
possibly no downtime on your server :-)

Debian does release various patches in packages form. Try running
"COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l 'kernel-patch*'" to see what I mean. But a change
of the sort you are talking about is done by downloading the entire
new kernel package AFAIK.

I presume if there was security alert relating to a kernel problem it
would show up as security fix *if you are running stable*. Since you
are running Sarge, in some sense you've pretty much volunteered to
monitor and help Debian to get the security alerts fixed before
Sarge's release.

Cheers!

iptables problem (woody)

[Joost]

If I do "iptables -L" I get an error:

-
modprobe: Can't locate module ip_tables
iptables v1.2.6a: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who?
(do
you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
-

I'm new at Linux, have been playing with it for a few weeks now.
I am unable to solve this myself (modprobe, modins all have never heard of
ip_tables).
I've installed my system using the iso's downloaded from debian.org. I've
searched the net on this problem,
and I believe it has something to do with a few modules not being enabled in
the kernel. Do I have to compile
my own kernel to use a standard thing like iptables?!? I can really use some
advice here, thanks.

This means probably samba.

They may be running both samba and nfs, or they may they just be running
samba.  Check out the fstab on the Redhat box to see what filesystem it
is mounted as (smbfs, nfs, etc).  If you can mount it under Windows on
your laptop, this means permissons are relatively lay (no MAC address
for DHCP, and then only some IP's allowed, etc).  Once you figure out
what filesystem is being used, it's pretty straightforward.  portmapper
and nfs-common are the packages you need for nfs, smbclient and
samba-common for samba.  You'll have to edit your fstab accordingly, and
you should be in business.

Steve

(2.4 -> 2.6) or can only minor versions be patched (2.4.18 -> 
2.4.19)?.  

Does the Debian security mailing list announce kernel related security 
alerts, or should this be monitored through services such as bugtrac?. 

thanks
Jeff

Take a look at:
- /etc/resolv.conf
- /etc/network/interfaces

They should have what you're looking for.

I'd guess you have to load ide-cd ('modprobe ide-cd') by hand to see
if /dev/hdc (or hdb or whatever your IDE CD is on) is recognized. What
is the output of 'lsmod | grep ide'? If that works add ide-cd to
/etc/modules.

Fixing IP, gateway, etc.

[DSC Publishing, LLC]

Hi, I have a Woody installation with direct internet
access through another linux box and KDE.  Interestingly, though
the ISP uses linux, they do not support linux.

Though it's neither here nor there, I guess the setup is:

my ETH0 -> Eth1 Gateway computer -> serial connection ->
land-sat-dish / land-sat-dish -> serial connection ->
Linux server network -> direct line connection

Anyhow, they just changed their IP, gateway, proxy, DNS, FTP, and router
addresses.
That's easy to fix up with my Macs; my wife did it, but I could've done
so as easily.
However, I don't remember what to do to adjust my linux box.

I tried Linuxconf, no good.  I tried adjusting etc/hosts, and
etc/network, no good.

Anyone know what I have to do to adjust the setup?  The orginal Woody
installation
was nicely automatic, but I'd be more than happy to learn the internals
if there was
only a good set of instructions.

Re: network folder

[Rhodri]

the network drive is Unix and I want to have access to my network drive
(mapping my network drive), namely,

\\severname\myhomedirectory

from my computer, not from the office's computer
the system is controlled my  tsg (technical support group)

I connect to that folder from my office's computer which runs redhat 7.3.
The problem is that I do not have admistrative rights in that computer
(i.e., I do not have root access), so I do not know how they did it (and I
can tell you they are not going to tell me ).

My own computer, this is, not the office's one, it is a novatech P4 laptop
which runs mainly debian (woody) although I left a litte partition for
windows xp (3 Gb). Using windows, I can connect to my office's network drive
using tools>map network drive> where I type the name of my server and my
user name.

Given that I am quite new at debian (one month using it) I am not pretty
sure if I should use nfs through dhcp or I should use samba instead.

I have been looking for documentation about the matter, but all I got was
how to create LANs, etc.
I did not find anything related with my problem

If you can give some advices and/or recomend me some documentation to read
(I like to read :))

I would be grateful

Thanks lot

Beginner Again

I have been trying to do scsi-ide emulation w/o success. I am actually
running SusSE 7.3 I have wanted to load Debian but I can even get my
cdrom or cdrw recognized anymore. I'm stuck, I have read the pages on

Apt's sources.list has line-length limit 299

[Jameson C. Burt]

"apt-get update"
hangs with no response when I add a line anywhere in
   /etc/apt/sources.list
that is greater than 299 characters.

Specifically, I added the following 308-character commented line to aid my choice of 
Debian sites
[the line-continuation characters were not originally present and this
had at most one contiguous space],
# fping  -c 3   ftp.egr.msu.edu  carroll.aset.psu.edu \
   mirror.cs.wisc.edu  mirror.csit.fsu.edu   umn.dl.sourceforge.net \
   unc.dl.sourceforge.net  telia.dl.sourceforge.net  debian.teleglobe.net \
   mirrors.xmission.com  ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu  debian.uchicago.edu \
   debian.fifi.org  ftp.silug.org  debian.tod.net
After removing the last "debian.tod.net", this line had but 292
characters, so  "apt-get update" would no longer hang. 

I run Debian woody 3.0, with all packages upgraded as of 9/26/2002,
including apt version 0.5.4 .

Oh, I see this remains an outstanding apt bug-report filed May 13, 2002,

I've installed Debian on a desktop with the SiS 630 (ASUS TUSI-M

instead of X4.1). I haven't yet tried using framebuffers, however.

The Debian installation is entirely text-based, using ncurses.

Thanks, that's spot on. I'll change my fstab to what you suggest.
I now have the ide cdrom mountable as /cdrom1 which finally points to
/dev/scd1 but it works anyway. I don't understand that at all I would have
thought that it should have been /dev/hdb ( I only have 1 hard drive ).
Seems as if the file type column in the fstab is what works the magic.

i assume you want to have access to both (cdrom and cdrw). you would
probably want to create a directory /cdrw. then rm /dev/cdrom, ln -s
/dev/cdrom /dev/hdb (or whatever your cdrom drive is), ln -s /dev/cdrw
/dev/scd0 and add the follwing to your fstab:
/dev/cdrw   /cdrw   iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0   0

you could then access your ide cdrom by doing mount /cdrom and your cd
burner by mount /cdrw.

hope that helps.

RE: Can not acces ide cdrom

[Michael Olds]

Bob,

Sorry, I think I misunderstood your situation. You have a CDROM and a CDRW.
Your CDRW is actually a real SCSI device? I was thinking it was scsi
emulation. If I understand this now, the ide CDROM should NOT be being
pointed to the scd0 or anything else but itself. (You may actually have
implimented scsi emulation for the CDROM, which could be another cause of
this problem.) If I have again misunderstood, and you are speaking about two
ide devices (one ide CDROM and one ide CDRW with scsi emulation) you need to
link the CDROM to the scd0...I would think directly not via the CDRW...and
also as just posted, check permissions. Next up you need a more experienced
advisor. If you are speaking about one ide CDRW with scsi emulation then it
needs to be linked to the scd and there should not be a second device in
/dev ... just /dev/CDROM pointing to scd0.

Best Wishes!
Mike Olds www.buddhadust.org

It already is indirectly, ie /dev/cdrom symlinks to /dev/cdrom0 which
symlinks to /dev/scd0. Reading from the scsi device is ok. It is the
ide device that got lost.
What I'm not clear on is whether I need to have the /dev/cdrom1
linked to /dev/sc1 as it now is or /dev/hdb as it is ide.

Link /dev/cdrom to /dev/scd0. That's correct. Check wether you are

hehe.  I've made that mistake and learned from it ;)  The relevant bits
from dpkg -l shows:

ii  libglib1.2 1.2.10-4   The GLib library of C routines
ii  libglib1.2-dev 1.2.10-4   Development files for GLib library
ii  libgtk1.2  1.2.10-11  The GIMP Toolkit set of widgets for X
ii  libgtk1.2-comm 1.2.10-11  Common files for the GTK+ library
ii  libgtk1.2-dev  1.2.10-11  Development files for the GIMP Toolkit

I did the search for the files sought by configure, and found them, but
not where it expected them.  My attempts to convince it to look in the
correct place (/usr/bin) have so far failed.

I'm still at a loss, I'm afraid.

It already is indirectly, ie /dev/cdrom symlinks to /dev/cdrom0 which
symlinks to /dev/scd0. Reading from the scsi device is ok. It is the 
ide device that got lost. 
What I'm not clear on is whether I need to have the /dev/cdrom1 
linked to /dev/sc1 as it now is or /dev/hdb as it is ide.

latex2e.fmt not found by xemacs

[Sebastian Canagaratna]

Hi:

  I an using sarge and I upgraded yesterday. In xemacs latex2e
  Interactive works, but latex2e does not. So I linked, in /usr/bin/
  latex2e to tex, and copied /usr/share/texmf/web2c/latex.fmt to
  latex2e.fmt, ran texconfig
  but when I click on latex2e in xemacs, it cannot find
  latex2e.fmt.  I get the same message when I run latex2e file
  from the command line. When I copied latex2e.fmt to the directory
  in which the tex file was, it works. So clearly, this is a path
  problem.  I believe I did the same thing a few months ago 
  on the other machine that
  I have (sarge, but not upgraded froma few months), and there I don't
  have any difficulty. 

  I am puzzled that there is a path problem, because I thought texconfig
  would look after this.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks.

  Sebastian

The program could find this out by checking
the command line arguments. It might happen that 
the program would create symlinks and operate 
in this way.

Actually vim does do this but it doesn't check
for vi. It checks for the following (according
to man vim) vim, ex, view, gvim/gview, 
rvim/rview/rgvim/rgview. These might all refer
to the same executable but would run it in
different ways.

Since vim doesn't check if you have typed vi
it should run fine. I am almost certain of this
as my web host has actually renamed vim to vi
and it runs just like vim.

If you want to be absolutely sure you can either:
a) find where vim is located and run it explicitly
/usr/bin/vim
b) create your own symlink to vim, and have the
symlink be called vim
c) create an alias to vim,
...

However I am not familiar with debian policy.
It might be that with alternatives the policy
is to have them all behave the same way. Again
I really doubt that would be the case as it would
tend to confuse users.

Hope that helps

Hey Bob, a Re: Bob?

Re: Still getting kernel panic when compiling my own kernel

[Mariano Kamp]

That is what I did all the time. This thread was about how to do it a
different way.
Anyhow it seems to work now. Still I've some problems, but need to dig
into that. At least I am able to boot now and I am not sure what I did
wrong before. I ***guess*** is was something about dpkg -i and my
assumption that it does run lilo, because I now ran lilo by hand (to use
the manual approach described by Klaus.

So, I'll investigate further and come back to the list if it is still
not working.

Thanks to everyone for supporting me.

Whats about apt-cacge show mp3burn?

 mp3burn is a Perl script that allows you to burn audio CDs composed
 of MP3 or Ogg Vorbis tracks without an intermediate file conversion
 to .cdr or .wav.
 Actually, the .mp3/.ogg files *are* converted using a decoder, but are
 written to FIFOs so they don't consume a lot of filesystem space during
 the burn.

Works fine for me and can be handled in scripts as well;-)

Symlink clarification needed (vi -> vim)

[Robert Ian Smit]

I know that some programs react differently depending on how they
are called. When you create a symlink to a program, does the program
know that it was started by using a symlink?

For instance when I create a vi symlink to vim, will vim start up
normally or will it mimick vi?

If so, can I change this without going into config files for the
program?

I am asking this because I want to use (vim) vi on a non-Debian
system that does not create symlinks for this package or use an
alternatives system.

I know nothing about lvm, but if you are interested (and don't already

It makes perfect sense to have ext3 as a module and use ext3 on your
root file system with an initrd image. I don't know about other file
systems, but ext3 works out because you can always read/mount it as an
ext2 FS.That is why the standard Debian 2.4.18 kernel delivers ext3 in
the initrd file.

Andy> Why don't you compile the ext3 module into the kernel?
Andy> If your root partition is ext3 compiling the driver as a

No. No. No!  That is what the initrd image is for. It makes perfect
sense. The 2.4.18 kernels (for example) in Debian have been built so
you don't need to go compile your own kernel in 99% of the cases
without having to pay the cost of a bloated runtime kernel. The trade
off is that it takes a little longer to boot, and you use more disk
space to store all the modules. But the same standard kernel should
work for *most* users on a wide variety of hardware.

All IMHO of course ;-)

Cheers!

That whatever your original kernelimage in /boot is called.You can leave
that line out and just copy the new image to boot.Just make sure that
you don't overwrite your working kernelimage in /boot and configure lilo
accordingly after that.

installing SuSE 7.2 too. Redhat worked without problems. Does debian have a
graphical installation? Is there a way to install it text only, so I can
later change the framebuffer settings?

thanks,
daniel

Hmm. Default postfix settings, and just a .procmailrc in my $HOME.

It's probably a race - the problem occurs only if I read mail at the
office, where access is through the 64k upstream of my ADSL connection,
so everything is slow enough for mail delivery hit some (assumed)
critical window.

System stalls on deconfiguring network interfaces

[D. J. Bolderman]

Hi guys,

Since i've setup NIS/NFS, my workstation stalls when shutting down.

The message I get is:

"Deconfiguring network interfaces: Failed to connect to locahost:bootpc.
Connection timeout"

Has this something todo with nis/nfs ? 

Thanks

Broken VGA-Bios, typical for cheap Sony/Gericom/IPC/NoName-Notebooks.
Read the boot-screens to disable the framebuffer.

There is no 2.2 kernel, there are three, and at least one should work
(eg. vanilla without framebuffer).

Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.

Yep, that seems to have done the trick, sort of. Lyx is still not 
converting directly to PDF or PS for printing, but I can run pdflatex at 
the command line now. Ktexmaker2 is functionning fully however, and that 
is probably what I'll use at it is a nice program that facilitates

Re: Still getting kernel panic when compiling my own kernel

[Mariano Kamp]

Which one is "kernelimage"? I found one called bzImage, size ~500K.
should I copy it to /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18? on my system /vmlinuz points
to /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18 and /vmlinuz is configured in lilo.conf.

Well, as I am trying this for three weeks now and tried more than thirty
different kernels. I am not going to follow this path. 

My question is: How can I get the settings for the kernel shipped with
woody (24.18-bf). It works. And I can start from there.

Or .. Would it help to go to a newer version than woody? Would it have
xfree 4.2 and acpi already built in?

Because I kept the standard kernel and added it to lilo. So I am able to

I did this a couple of times. See other postings. 

As I am very much suspecting the procedures to be the source of trouble
(why else should not even one of my roll your own kernels work) I will
go into the details again.


apt-get remove kernel-source-2.4.18 kernel-package
rm -rf /usr/src/linux
rm -rf /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18.tar.bz2
rm -rf /lib/modules/2.4.18

apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18 kernel-package
cd /usr/src
tar xvjf kernel-source-2.4.18.tar.bz2
ln -s kernel-source-2.4.18.tar.bz2 linux
cd linux

make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg -config=x --revision=sonyVaioGrx316G kernel_image
dpkg -i /usr/src/kernel-image-2.4.18_sonyVaioGrx316G_i386.deb

reboot


Hopefully I got the steps right.

ACPI patch and other necessary things have been left out since two weeks
to reduce complexity.
I also attached the current .config file. But this doesn't make much
difference as no config has worked so far. But as this one is a clean
and untouched one, we probably can start from there. The only thing I
changed is:

CONFIG_IDE=y
CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y


Any help is appreciated.

Mariano

There is an unofficial package at

But I don't think you can use it - needs KDE3 as far as I know.

Because I don't need to.  Initrd is designed for specifically this sort of 
purpose.

The kernel boots the initrd image as a root file system on a ram disk.  From 
there you load the modules you need, and then with the right modules loaded 
you are able to mount the required root file system somewhere else.

The pivot-root command allows you to swap the initrd root with the full root 
and get the system going as normal.

Debian does all of this automatically for you when you install one of their 
standard kernels and the root file system in not ext2.

There is an issue that I don't understand, and that is why you need the 
special "initrd" mechanism in linux at all.  I am not sure why you couldn't 
boot the kernel with ram disk image using existing mechanisms for specifying 
ram disk as root, and then follow what I have just said and issue the pivot 
root command to switch to the one you want as the final root.

The issue that concerns me with LVS is is that it has a command to create an 
initrd image for booting.  I suspect that it is creating something that loads 
the lvm modules in the kernel, but the documentation (in your words) contains 
"jack shit" about it.  What I really need to do is create an initrd image 
which loads both lvm AND the ext3 module for root.

Anyway, in the end I just didn't bother.  You need a dedicated partition for 
/boot to hold the kernel and initrd images anyway, so I was happy to leave 2G 
root partition as normal and just use the remaining 86GB of disk space 
(spread across 3 disks) as a logical volume.

Building is not the problem. I have been using GCC 3.2 that I built from 
sources, and I was successful in building STLport recently, however, I can 
not run programs that I compile using them together: either static linking 
fails, or if I link dynamically, the programs won't start. 

I have heard that the ABI changed, and I suspect that this may have something 
to do with it.

Not so.

When you "su", you're root - but with the previous user's environment.

When you "su -" you're root, with root's login environment.

yep

i have started to use linux with suse (the first german distribution)
long time ago. than i have changed to redhat. and after all i am
now using debian. 

and is was really surprised how easy debian is to maintain
and to keep up to date. after more than one year of running
debian, i have still no problems with upgrading with apt-get. 
and thats not possible with redhat. always problems with missing
depencies.  

and the best: debian packages are really compiled with 
usefull compile-options. not like some redhat packages 
which have turned off necessary options :( always forced
to recompile the src-rpms.

same applies to suse!

Debian 3.0r0 installation Problems

[Daniel Fabian]

Hi List,

I'm trying to install debian on an IPC laptop (you probably won't know IPC,
as it's a small Austrian company assembling lapdogs) after I finally
downloaded the first 4 iso images (woody 3.0r0). However unfortunatly, I
don't seem to get very far. I boot from the first cd and choose to boot
bf24. It says "loading bf24.bin", then 2 thirds of the screen become
gray with a dotted line about in the middle. Then everything that was gray
turns blue and that was it. Nothing more is happening.

Is this a common problem? I don't really know what to do. I also tried to
boot the 2.2 kernel, but I get exactly the same result. Does anyone have any
ideas?

Thanks for your help in advance,
Daniel

Unlike ~/bin, the current directory is not always under your control. If
you put . in $PATH, then 'cd /tmp; ls' is no longer safe.

The current directory is potentially in a different security domain, and
should be treated accordingly. ~/bin is in your own security domain, so
there is no need to worry about using it.

mostly because you just never know what you will find in '.'.  Being forced to 
type ./foo helps you be aware of where you are and what you are doing.

On a PC-style unix box (only one user) it doesn't make much difference,
but in a multi-user unix environment with people sharing directories and
files, someone could potentially trick you into running their program.

If you have . early in your path, a program called 'ls' in the current
directory could be run instead of /bin/ls. If you have . at the end of
your path, you can be caught with common typos. eg. a program called
mroe or mkae (typos of more and make).
