and Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
How do you determine WHICH NETWORK SERVICES ARE OPEN (active)?
Try "netstat -a | grep LISTEN". To see numeric values (instead
of the common names for services using a particular port) then
try "netstat -na" instead. For more info, look at "man netstat".
Also try "lsof -i" as root. "man lsof" for details.

Ok, I've done that. Although, as I said, I believe I'm using Xft2 and /etc/fonts/fonts.conf. I don't understand the file format, but it has: Helvetica Verdana On the other hand, if I print from Jpilot I don't see any of the font config files (fonts.conf, XftConfig or X11/fs/config) touched.

ATAPI stands for "AT Attachment Packet Interface". It basically involves using SCSI protocol/commands over an IDE bus, "AT Attachment" being the posh name for IDE, and was designed for talking to CD drives without a SCSI card or one of those awkward proprietary buses some early CD-ROMs had. Because of this, Linux uses "SCSI emulation" to talk to CD writers (as does Windoze). The Linux driver for this is crap, according to Joerg Schilling, author of cdrecord (see man cdrecord). ATAPI itself has a degree of intrinsic crappitude as well, because it uses IDE hardware, and IDE is crap. Pigeon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I'd recommend you consult the autofs manual page, the automount manual page, the autofs home page, the Linux networking HOWTO, and so on for accurate details, but if you want a brief idea, keep reading... Some implementations of autofs allow you to simply add a map entry similar to: /net -hosts to your autofs configuration file (typically /etc/auto.master) on the client, then do "ls /net/osiris" on zarathustra to see what's on osiris. If this doesn't work, you could create an NIS map such as auto.net containing the exports and the mount points and add a map entry similar to: /net auto.net If you don't want to make any changes on the client, most systems will also read the auto.master map from the server by default (provided autofs is enabled), so you could add the auto.net entry to auto.master on the server, then create NIS maps of both for the client to access. Naturally, you'll need to list all desired disk partitions (/ /usr /var /boot ...) in /etc/exports on zarathustra. You might also like to investigate the BSD automounter, amd, which seems slightly more powerful to me, but is not supported on most other Unixes.

X whacking monitor
I've got a "Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/i1" video chip (according to pci -v) on the motherboard of my PC. I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem, but... In running X Window version 4, when I go into X from the console, all is fine. I can then get back out to a console. But when I go back into X from the console (after _any_ amount of time), the screen is blank, and after a second or two, the monitor loses its signal from the PC (it's one of those monitors whose LEDs blink when it has no signal). Moving the mouse or hitting a key does not solve the problem. I can Ctrl-Alt-BackSp and get out of X. However, this problem disappears when running version 3 of X Window (XF86_SVGA server). Anyone run into this and know why it happens? Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Compile the deb sources from unstable into a deb which you then install with "dpkg -i" (if possible). Yes, this is not ideal, but the other option is just to stay with stable or track unstable, and both those options have their own problems.

Just to clarify, when I say build from sources, do you mean compile the deb sources? Because this is what I mean. Apparently apt-src gives the long-awaited functionality of compiling from sources and recursively compiling the build dependencies if they are not sufficiently up to date. (This is a real pain to handle manually.) Sort of ports-like functionality. So once it is available, it will make things easier.

This may be because you may now have testing packages which depend on packages which are now installed as the unstable version (since many dependencies just say >= something). If the unstable packages are now pulled out (since you are not telling apt to replace them with the testing version) then the testing packages get pulled out as well. This is just speculation, but you could take a look at the dependency structure and see. Check and see how many packages you now have from unstable. A better option might be to force a mass downgrade using apt preferences. If you put /etc/apt/prefences Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 1001 Then all the packages in testing will have sufficiently high priority to overcome the downgrade prevention barrier. Since this is allowing the option to back up all unstable packages to testing versions, it may result in the removal of less packages. Whether it breaks the system or not would depend on whether it is going to mess with the base packages. Certainly there are no guarantees. You are presumably aware that mass downgrading is *not* officially supported. Faheem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Jerky Mouse
I've got a Microtel mini-ITX motherboard with a PS/2 mouse port on the back. A cheapo wheel mouse came with the machine, and worked for a while, then became jerky in X, and likewise in the console (gpm). I replaced it with another (almost new) wheel mouse, same story. So then I replaced that with a straight PS/2 genuine Microsoft mouse (no wheel). Same answer. Before you asked, I change the protocol in the X config file to PS/2 when I changed to the non-wheel mouse. It was IMPS/2 before. I also rebooted in between. I'd rather not go to a serial mouse.

Then it will tell you it can't find *.deb files there, and ask you where _those_ are. In all cases, you answer that question with pool/main.

the only place? in *nix, how can we ever be sure there's no hook
to somewhere else? this completion stuff is a prime example --
press tab when entering a command and poof, you may run a perl
script! sheesh--
but no, the tcsh completions only come into play when i'm *at*
the tcsh shell, type part of a command, then press tab:
% make
all degrees.sql.out org.sql.out projects.sql.out
states.sql.out
clean email.sql.out person.sql.outrealclean
team.sql.out
dates.sql.out empl.sql.out person.sql.outrelations.sql.out
web_pages.sql.out
default loc.sql.out phone.sql.out %.sql.out
those are items listed in the makefile, not necessarily files in
the current directory. (wy cool!) not related to vi.
of course, the problem wasn't related to vi per se -- it was vi
spawns a subshell to carry out the "make" command.
so the trouble was actually elsewhere. i'd recently munged a
startup script (called from ~/.cshrc) and i'd left a messy
fingerprint in there.
by coincidence, it happened to be the completion area, tho not
the makefile completion -- rather the one for kill|fg|bg which
i've since fixed:
complete {kill,fg,bg} 'c/%/j/' 'c/-/S/' 'p/*/`ps T | grep -v "\" | awk \'{print
$1}\'`/'

A given named release is supported until the second subsequent release is issued, plus a bit, usually. This is only significant if you're relying on binary compatibility with a package not included in the Debian distribution itself. The one singificant product for which this may be true is Oracle, which is painfully version specific. In general, you set your system up to follow a named _state_ rather than a named release -- stable, testing, unstable, etc. Your system is continuously upgraded by running 'apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade' on an ongoing basis. It's not unusual for a given system to be updated nightly in this fashion. Note that this is pretty significantly different from RH's own named release and update process, which is considerably *less* friendly. > What are the experiences other people have with migrating from RedHat > to Debian. Are there any other options as a distro (I'm looking for a > distro with security written in bold)? I made the switch in 1999 and never looked back (though I've adminned RH systems over most of the time). Debian's a very nice maintenance and upgrade setup. If you wnat to take the plunge gradually, you can start of by installing Debian as a chroot of your current system. This lets you get the system up and running, and configured, before committing yourself to it completely. You also have full use of your existing distrobution during the process.

i made the password file "chmod 600" and then of course it

that i did "chown mail.mail" and it's been happy ever since.
your situation may be the same. try it out.

Looking to MOVE A PARTITION TO A NEW DISK DRIVE?
1) install the new disk, partition & format it as you like
2) mount the disk somewhere on the root filesystem (I use /usr.new)
3) go to single user mode ('telinit 1')
4) cd /usr ; cp -a * /usr.new/
5) cd / ; mv usr usr.old ; mkdir /usr
5) edit /etc/fstab to reflect the new location
(/usr.old) and new partition (/usr)
6) go back to runlevel 2 (logout, or 'telinit 2'
or whatever runlevel you use)
7) run the system for a few days and make sure everything
is good, once this is done erase /usr.old if you want.

Disk formatting
When I installed Debian woody, I allocated only part of my available HD space to it, like this: hdb1: 512MB: / hdb2: 1GB: swap hdb3: 30GB: /usr free space: ~27GB Now, I found that /home has taken up almost all of /'s available space. So, I created a new logical partion from some free space, as /dev/hdb5 (~2GB) My question is: How can I format the new partition as ext3, and move /home to it safely?

problems setting up ppp connection with ispwest
Dear People, Anyone with experience setting up a ispwest ppp account on Debian? I thought I would give them a try since they offer a 15 day free trial account, but I'm having problems getting set up with pppconfig. My current ISP worked right out of the box with PAP. I suppose they support PAP, but I tried with and without static dns, and no dice. I tried talking to their technical support, but they say "we are compatible with linux but don't offer support". Ha ha. At the moment, I'm not asking for debugging help, but asking if there is anyone who has been down this road before and knows how to do it. Thanks.

Re: XFree86 display problems
I had to install the kernel source to do this, for which I used: apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18 I unzipped it and left it in /usr/src. Now when I try to do the step specified in the README for nvidia-kernel-src documentation, i.e., make-kpkg modules_image I get a message telling me that the version of GCC I'm using is inconsistent with that used to compile the kernel, and it tells me to set IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH if I want to override this or set the CC environment variable to that used to compile the kernel. The GCC version installed is 2.95.4, and in looking at the man pages for make-kpkg I was unable to determine how I would specify this ignore variable anyways - what would be the syntax? Or how would I go about specifying the appropriate CC environment variable? Thanks for all the help.

Re: cdrecord: What does "BURN-Free is OFF" mean?
DvB wrote: Paul E Condon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: What else might be wrong? Googling reveals that my newer writer might be "ATAPI". Is this important in this context? I found a few rants about ATAPI. I couldn't make out whether the author(s) thought it was good, but poorly supported by Linux, or bad in itself. How should the setups for these two drives differ (if at all) if one is "ATAPI" and the other is not? You pretty much have to use scsi emulation for atapi drives under Linux. However, I think cdrecord requires this, so if cdrecord's telling you that burnfree is off, you've probably got scsi emulation working. I think if cdrecord --scanbus finds your drive (as root), it's emulating. There is something different about the two CD writers, but I don't know what. All my guesses so far have not panned out. Both drives are on the same machine. The newer is hdc; the older is hdd. Both have scsi emulation installed via lilo as in: append="hdc=ide-scsi\ hdd=ide-scsi" I can make an iso image using mkisofs and burn it on each drive using cdrecord with all parameters the same, except the drive selection. Both new CDs are readable on the computer on which they were made (and in both drives interchangeably) BUT, the CD that was burnt in the newer drive is unreadable on any OTHER computer on which I have tried. Unreadable on another Debian i386 machine which has true SCSI hardware, and on a Mac 8500 and on an iMac, on an old Windoze laptop, and on a fairly modern Windoze PC. The CD that was burnt in the older drive works fine everywhere. Why the difference? I really at a loss to understand. I've given some information about what I've found out that I don't understand because I think in might jog someone's memory and they might clue me in on what I am missing here. The newer, non-writing drive is in the bus master position. The older drive, which writes nicely, is in the slave position on the cable. Can this make a difference? I got the newer drive when a older CD read-only drive died, and I bought a replacement. It was the day after Thanksgiving and there was a sale at Staples that made the CD writer cheaper than a read-only drive. Now I worry that my old writer may fail, and I will be unable to burn useable CDs because something about newer hardware is incompatible with something else in my 3yr old system. Please. Even foolish suggestions might be helpful here. Maybe, just this one time, when we find out what the problem is, it will be a problem that we can be proud of finding rather than just egg-on-my-face.

A few other thoughts: You could check /etc/printcap.cups and other config file in /etc/cups to see if any thing looks wrong. Run debsums against various cupsys, gs-esp, and gimpprint packages to check if there is corruption in any installed file. Also, look at your printtest file with bvi or a different binary file editor and see if there is anything strange about it. Another possibility is the Epson 860 has both a parallel and usb port. If you have a parallel printer cable you could try connecting it via the parallel port, reinstall or reconfigure the printer with cups, and see if problems persist. -- Jerome msg28196/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Preserving file attributes across upgrades
Hello all, I normally keep /usr/bin/cdrecord and /usr/bin/cdrdao as so: -rwxr-s---1 root cdrom This lets me add users to the cdrom group, so they can burn CDs as users, and I don't have to either give them the root password or set up sudo for these occasions. In the last couple of days, cdrdao has had a couple of updates (in sid), and I've had to reset the permissions on /usr/bin/cdrdao each time. This finally tickled a nagging itch of mine, so I'm asking now. Am I missing something, or is there currently no way to keep special permission setups like mine across upgrades?

Ugh, it seems you're right; I can see in the syslog that there's always a login/logout sequence reported whenver I click. Maybe the courier-imapd doesn't scan all files on each connect, who knows for sure?

Re: best way to disable journaling on ext3?
heya, disclaimer: i've never actually done this afaik ext3 is just ext2 with a journal tacked on. so that given, it should be really easy. replace all entries that say ext3 with ext2 in /etc/fstab, and you should be ready to go. just make sure you shutdown cleanly after doing so. i don't believe you have to modify the filesystem at all. hth sean On Sun, Feb 02, 2003 at 12:45:39PM -0900, Britton wrote: > > Short story: > > I suspect ext3 of possible causing crashes and would like to know the best > way to disable as much of it as possible without reformatting my disk. > > Longer story: > > I recently got a new 80G ATA disk, and cloned my debian install onto an > ext3 journaled file system on it.

To me, having to convert a file before being able to read it will be a major turn-off for the masses, because it is for me, and I'm more geeky than the masses. I think docbook isn't intended as an end-user format that said - try using Lyx - its an editor rather than a viewr but it does disply docbook files well but are you sure these files aren't available ready converted ? Yeah, apparently you're right about them being available ready converted. These (/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kppp) are apparently the help files when you click on a help "?" key in KPPP. That satisfies my immediate need. Lyx didn't like the one file I tried (/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kppp/global-something...). So apparently Lyx isn't a reliable reader for docbooks.

best way to disable journaling on ext3?
Short story: I suspect ext3 of possible causing crashes and would like to know the best way to disable as much of it as possible without reformatting my disk. Longer story: I recently got a new 80G ATA disk, and cloned my debian install onto an ext3 journaled file system on it. Now some programs that move lots of data seg fault sometimes, causing subsequent ls to hang or my machine to lock up completely. I think the kernel may be needing to do special work to compensate for my bios not knowing about really big drives, because older kernels didn't see the whole of even my 40G drive, and my bios giives me an update ESCD successful (or something like that) on every bootup.

broken dependencies after trying to get amaya compiling
Hello everybody, I had a look around via google but this is a rather specific prob so that's probably why I don't find anything relevant on it. I made some stupid mistake - instead of trying apt-get I installed packages from debian directly from the internet. It's because they say I need libglib1.2 - which didn't seem to be present - and now the stuff is not well. This is the apt-get message: You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: libc6: Depends: libdb1-compat but it is not installable libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.2.5-11.2) but 2.3.1-10 is installed locales: Depends: glibc-2.2.5-11.2 E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. (Where apt-get -f install states it wants to remove most of the system or something) How can I make apt-get install the libc6 2.2.5-11.2 - which is a downgrade ? whe I say apt-get install libc6 the prog says it's allready the newest version ...

DocBook documents can get munged into a series of .html files; the topmost doc being called book1.html or index.html oftentimes. Use any browser to examine these files. DocBook also allows munging source into .pdf and other formats. When you are in kppp, can you pull down the help menues and click into the help files? A tool called KDE Help Center should pop up with a doc called Kppp Handbook or something like that.

Konqueror and tar.gz
Hello, Lemme first express condolences and grief with regards the tragic loss of the crew members aboard Columbia. I think they were a very courageous lot to undertake the risks for the advancement of mankind. Pray that God looks after them and their families. I've noticed a behaviour within Konqueror right from KDE 3.0.4,at first I thought it was a bug, but it's still there in KDE 3.1 therefore I think that maybe there is some kinda configuration that could set things right...something I have wrong. When I open up a .tar.gz file under Konqueror I see it's contents, if I copy this and paste it to another location (I hope this is the right method to unzip from Konqueror) then I've seen that the unzip happens much much much slower than using the tar command. It's slow enough for it to be quite unusable for huge files. Have other ppl noticed this in Konqueror? Since it was in 3.0.4 and 3.1 is it something that can be improved with some config or is it a bug?? Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: How to read DocBook file?
Kent West wrote: I'm trying to find out how to set "noauth" globally in kppp (or at least let a normal user set it), but apparently KDE's documentation is in docbook format, and is quite unreadable in all the editors/word processors/browsers I've tried (gedit, kedit, nedit, vi, abiword, OOo, Mozilla, Konqueror). I've both googled and dogpiled for this question, and it seems like maybe docbook files have to be converted to some other format first, like by using docbook2html or something similar. But surely there's a reader (or a browser plugin, etc) of some sort that would automatically make docbook files readable. To me, having to convert a file before being able to read it will be a major turn-off for the masses, because it is for me, and I'm more geeky than the masses. I think docbook isn't intended as an end-user format that said - try using Lyx - its an editor rather than a viewr but it does disply docbook files well but are you sure these files aren't available ready converted ? -- Sean -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I can not speak for these particular packages, but I have at least had good experience with "alien" on the video drivers for my videocard (which was ATI Mobility ): bash% alien --to-deb bash% dpkg -i You might need to do bash% apt-get install alien first. [As you have probably already understood alien is a program to convert between package formats, the very nature of this program indicates that it is not exactly bomb-proof, but at least my experience has been good.] In my case the resulting .deb package released the X files into a brand new /usr/x11r6 directory structure, instead of the correct /usr/X11R6, whether this was the fault of the original RPM, the alien program or what I don't know, I just moved (or actually symlinked in to) those files manually. Another tip when you are battling X startup problems: bash% startx 2> /tmp/x.error will send standard error to a file, so you can view this in peace.
