installation problem on Dell OptiPlex

[hetzel.devel]

Hi,
I got a problem during installing  debian on a Dell Optiplex L60.
I startet the installation with the disks (Kernel 2.2.20, version: comcat,woody), but 
at the point of installing the networkdriver i stoped.
Where can I  get a driver for the Intel 8255X 10/100/1000 Onboard-networkdevice?
How can I install the driver during my disk-installation ?

Thanks Haiko

You can refer to the following link for some preferences settings.
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html
If you don't want *any* packages from unstable then comment out that
line from /etc/apt/sources.list

howto use defaults/preferences to keep to testing ???

[Michael D. Schleif]

What do I *not* understand about apt defaults and preferences?  I was at
woody/stable for a year.  Recently, I've taken the plunge and upgraded
to testing, and I think that I am configured to stay at testing:

# cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
APT::Cache-Limit12582912;
APT::Default-Release"testing";

# cat /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 1000

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 1000

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 0


However, I just did this:

# sudo dselect update

And, I get this result:

# sudo apt-get upgrade

Testing or unstable - which? They can be quite a long way apart
sometimes.

abiword-gtk was removed some time ago, in favour of the plain abiword
package (only in unstable at the moment for various reasons). Try
installing that instead.

xv video output is no good

[Roberto Sanchez]

All I get when I try to use xv output is a blue screen (I have tried the same
file in mplayer, xine, and ogle).  XFree86 loads the xv extension on boot,
all the different utils say that its there and that it is supported, but I
always get the blue screen.
   

I have been able to solve the problem (somewhat) by playing the files in
mplayerusing direct graphics access to get good performance.  The problem is
that I
have some media files from school (some courses are given by a professor that
is taped and then streamed on the net, which can also be downloaded as a single
file later on) that I need to be able to watch with good performance (i.e.,
not too jerky or too many frame drops) and still be able work on the computer.
That way I can take notes/whatever, which is impossible if I take over the
wholedisplay with DGA.
 
Can someone point me in the right direction on this?

Hallelujah! I just converted from RedHat to Debian, too. RedHat is
nice for beginners because you can get a system up and running for
experimentation quickly, but when it comes to actually tweaking things
into sanity, Debian does the job with style.

Thanks to everyone who helped me with *my* Debian issues!

Existing libraries not found

[Patrick Wiseman]

When I 'ldd' a particular executable, I get

libXt.so.6 => not found
libX11.so.6 => not found
libXpm.so.4 => not found
libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x4000d000)
libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x40016000)

followed by a bunch of unresolved symbols.  The unfound libraries exist in
/usr/X11R6/lib, which is in /etc/ld.so.conf.  The executable is almost
certainly an a.out (is there a way to tell?), while the libraries are
presumably ELF (I'm on a 'testing' box).  Is there anything to be done?

Are you using Thomas Winishoffer's current drivers, or are you using

seriously out of date, and his work so much better.

Hi,
I've got network 192.168.0.0 and several machines on it.
I'd like to know how to avoid situation where some client machine would
set up ip manually witch is conflicting with main server on the same
network - dhcpd with assigned mac addresses is ok but what if someone
sets ip manually? - how to make it bulletproof?
Thank you.

Ring Pateren based Dial in Server

Ring pattern based Dial in Server

I want to add dial in to my home Linux server, I only have one phone 
line and an answering machine that picks up on the 4th ring. Can I set 
my Debian laptop to dial up in a pattern lets "say ring, hungup ring 
ring hangup, ring ring ring" then have my server say eureka thats for me 
then answer be for the answering machine?

I have built dial in servers for office environments in the past with a 
with pppd and adding lines like
"S2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS2 -D /dev/ttyS2" to my inittab, But I 
have not found any solutions to adapt this setup for my home use.

The server is running woody stable and the 2.4.19 kernel the laptop is 
running sarge with kernel 2.5.69

gaim (libaspell15) conflicts with abiword-gtk (libspell4)

[Benedict Verheyen]

Hi,

it was a while ago that i upgraded and *poof*, a dependency problem
occured :) I run testing/unstable by the way.

I had upgraded without really noticing my abiword-gtk was removed
because of it's dependency to libpspell4 (0.12.2).
Gaim (0.64.2) depends on libaspell15 (>=0.50.3-1) while abiword-gtk
(1.0.2) depends on libpspell4 (0.12.2). libaspell15 and libpspell4
conflict.

How can i solve this and keep both programs working instead of just
gaim? I tried with aptitude but it resulted in a game of ping pong :)

Thanks for any suggestions or links

And actually, I have seen a few console DVD players that actually play

Yes:  getting familiar with recompiling kernels etc.

You say that there's two features you need, and that the stock kernels
available to you only support one or the other.  Sounds exactly like
the sort of situation in which one compiles a custom kernel.  Especially
since the stock kernels have all sorts of hardware support that you
probably *don't* need.

See

http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html

for a tutorial on compiling and installing kernels on Debian machines.

exim configuration for tmda

[Jeff Penn]

I'm having problems configuring tmda to run on Sarge with the default
exim install.  I've followed instructions in the tmda manual except:

echo "|/path/to/bin/procmail -p" > ~/.forward

I left this file empty since procmail is specified in exim.conf by 
default.

All mail ends up being passed to procmails $DEFAULT,

~/.tmda/logs/debug contains:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/tmda-filter", line 53, in ?
execfile(os.path.join(execdir, 'tmda-rfilter'))
  File "/usr/bin/tmda-rfilter", line 175, in ?
raise Errors.MissingEnvironmentVariable('SENDER')
MissingEnvironmentVariable

Which appears to suggest exim is not passing procmail the required
environment variables.  I have tried various changes including modifying
the procmail_pipe configuration in exim.conf without any success (such
as adding -p option to the command).

/etc/exim/exim.conf:
trusted_users = mail:uucp:jeff

  path = /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin

I've heard the same thing from other people, one had worked in a
graphics/printing company where they had lots of removable drives on
almost every machine because clients would send them stuff on syquest
cartridges, Zip disks, flopticals, and every other format known to man.
Once one of their Zip drives got the "click of death" they didn't stop
having problems until they replaced every single Zip drive and disk all
at once. After they made that connection they started throwing out
drives and disks at the first sign of trouble.

Iomega didn't go from being an also-ran in the removable storage
business to being the major player by making a great product. They did
it by making a cheap product and spending a lot of money on marketing
instead of good design or quality control.

CardBus here and the i82365 option is _not_ compiled into the kernel.  But

Re: Kernel version 2.4

[Nico Meijer]

Hi Remon,

> kernels etc)

Learn how to compile and deploy your own kernel.

I've made a habit of making that the second thing I do on a newly
installed box. Configuring sudo being #1.

It's not hard and well documented. Plus, the machine becoming a
firewall, you don't really want the extra baggage a generic kernel
brings with it. A generic kernel, of course, has to support most regular
hardware as it's for general purpose. Most people don't run 'general
purpose' Linux boxen, I guess.

Why would you want USB, audio, SCSI and/or AGP support if it's just a
simple IDE machine with two NICs? [I'm not saying it is, just trying to
make a point; I don't have a clue about that RAID controller you're
talking about]

Plus, you learn. Again.

HTH and good luck... Nico

My kernel 2.4.20 is compiled without ISA support, and PCMCIA works fine for
me.

I've wondered why some people insist it's necessary; maybe it is, for them.

I found this in /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.templates:

(I suppose you will get it if you run 'dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xfree86').

   Description: Select the XFree86 server modules that should be
   loaded by default.  It is possible to customize (or completely
   omit) the list of modules that the X server loads by default.
   This option is for advanced users.  In most cases, all of these
   modules except xtt should be enabled.
   .
   The GLCore and glx modules enable software OpenGL rendering.  The
   dri module enables support in the X server for Direct Rendering
   Infrastructure (DRI).  Note that support for DRI must also exist
   in the kernel, the video card, and the installed version of the
   Mesa libraries for hardware-accelerated 3D operations using DRI
   to work.  Otherwise, the server falls back to software rendering.
.
   The vbe and ddc modules enable support for VESA BIOS Extensions
   and Data Display Channel, respectively.  These modules are used
   to query monitor capabilties via the video card.  The int10
   module is a real-mode x86 emulator that is used to softboot
   secondary VGA cards.  Note that the vbe module depends on the
   int10 module, so if wish to enable vbe, enable int10 as well.
.
   The dbe module enables the double-buffering extension in the
   server, and is useful for animation and video operations.
.
   The extmod module enables many traditional and commonly used
   extensions, such as shaped windows, shared memory, video mode
   switching, DGA, and Xv.  The record module implements the RECORD
   extension, commonly used in server testing.
.
   The bitmap, freetype, speedo, type1, and xtt modules are all
   font rasterizers.  The freetype and xtt modules should not
   be enabled at the same time, as they are incompatible.  The
   freetype module should be used for Western languages and
   anti-aliased font support; the xtt module should be used for
   East Asian character set support (specifically, for CID-keyed
   fonts).
   .
   For further information about these modules, please consult the
   XFree86 documentation.
.
   If you unsure what to do, leave all of the modules enabled
   except xtt.  Advanced users may wish to disable all modules --
   in which case no Modules section will be written to the X server
   configuration file -- and add their own Modules section to the
   file manually.

Gzip/gunzip question

[Larry]

I gziped a bunch of files in a few directories, in
order to more easily move them to a new computer.

gzip *


Now, when I unzip them with gunzip, I see about 512
bytes of binary stuff on the front of the files (on
both my ascii and binary files), and even more binary
bytes tacked onto the end of the files.

What happened???

Is there a way I can unzip them without this pre/post

I want to cut the first two file names from the list ... To my way of 
thinking this should be easy ...

cut -d' ' -f2 $directory

The xterm goes nuts and ends up in hyroglyphics ! At a guess I would 
say that the white space between .gz & 200... may not be space but may 
have a different ascii value. I have not found a utility to display 
raw ASCII for a file yet to check this out.

I am a relative begginer at learning bash ...

Any suggestions

Dave



Many thanks everyone, realise my mistake with cut and file names, also 
did not realise "tail" command existed, far neater way of doing it ... 
many thanks once again

Kernel version 2.4

[Remon Vos]

Hi, I just installed Debian
3.0 r1 (woody). Since I have a Mylex DAC960 Raid controller
I had to install the 2.2.20-compact version in order to get the controller
working.

In order to use iptables
(this machine has to be a firewall) I have to upgrade to a 2.4 kernel.

I tried kernel-image-2.4.18-686, but then my Mylex controller is not recognized anymore!

 

Can anyone think of a solution? (I’m not
familiar with recompiling kernels etc)

 

Regards, Remon Vos

Depends on how the bridge to PCMCIA is implemented.  On my laptop
(no apparent ISA bus), PCMCIA is implemented with a Intel i82365
ISA-to-PCMCIA bridge.  Check /var/log/kern.log for similar message on
boot.

I was having this sort of problem on a 'testing' system, when someone
suggested compiling with gcc-2.95.  It worked for me, at least for the
kernel.  (It didn't work for the pcmcia modules, but I fixed that by
using the kernel version.)  In the toplevel Makefile, replace references
to gcc with gcc-2.95 (assuming 'which gcc-2.95' reports
'/usr/bin/gcc-2.95').

XFree86 problems trying to load module 'sis'

[Charles Roberts]

Hello all:
I am trying to get Debian running. The sequence of events:
1. installed 'woody' from floppy disks with the bf2.4 (what ever that 
stands for) images (I wanted to use reiserfs). The install when OK. Got 
a basic 'cli' Debian system.
2. Did an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' to 'sarge'. All when OK.
3. Used aptitude to install X11. I configured XFree86 OK.
4. This same machine is also running Mandrake, so I know the video works.
5. Issued a 'startx' command. X came up but with the wrong resolution. I 
looked in /var/log/XFree86 log and found that the driver 'sis' failed to 
load.
6. From a cli I issued 'modprobe sis'. Got an error saying 'could not 
find kernel the module was compiled for'.
7. Upgraded the kernel 'with dselect' to 2.4.20-1-k6.
8. Did another 'modprobe sis'. Got error 
"/lib/modules/2.4.20-1-k6/kernel drivers/video/sis/sisfb.o: init_module: 
no such device". Also got 'insmod sis failed'.

I am out of ideas of what to do next. Any help would be appricated.

Thanks

right, that makes sense.

i get an error about booting though:

Does PCMCIA require ISA?

[Patrick Wiseman]

I've been messing around with my kernel, and compiled without ISA support,
since I'm on a PCI machine.  On rebooting, PCMCIA gave a ResourceIRQ
conflict.  When I recompiled the kernel with ISA support, PCMCIA
recognised my card as always.

It turns out my "discovery" is mentioned in the HOWTO, which says:

"In some cases, kernel misconfiguration can also produce an apparent
interrupt shortage. On later 2.4 and 2.5 kernels, if CONFIG_ISA is not
enabled, then the PCMCIA drivers will assume no ISA bus interrupts are
available."


Seems to me that the "misconfiguration" is in the PCMCIA drivers'
"assumption" that no interrupts are available, but so long as it's working
again.

What I recall is that it does crazy things behind your back.  Basically,
if you tell it to do TLS, then if you specify port 25, it tries
STARTTLS.  If you use any other port (i.e. 465) it does SMTP/SSL.

As per dman's suggestions, avoiding this craziness while testing is a
good idea.  Probably testing with Mozilla Mail is a good bet.

I'm attaching an excerpt from my exim.conf (3.x).

Ctrl-home/Ctrl-end in terminal

[Alex Malinovich]

I had thought at first that this was just a problem with my emacs, but
I'm beginning to think it's an actual terminal issue. Using Ctrl-home or
Ctrl-end in a terminal only seems to send out a home or end
respectively. This is quite a nuisance as I'm quite fond of using those
shortcuts for beginning and end of buffer in emacs. When I run emacs in
graphical mode, it works just fine. But in a terminal the keys just seem
to die. Any suggestions?

Try metalog or syslog-ng instead of syslogd/klogd. Both have
that feature you want integrated (among other nice stuff of 
course). I personally prefer metalog since it has great 
performance & is easier to configure.

Sorted it - copied the config for bf2.4 from /boot to my .config, made the
change I needed, then the modules loaded ok - it sees the controller and
discs.  Now why doesn't the Debian install see a disk?  I've tried fdisk

Are there portable ogg players available in the market? You bet ! But 
major ones, do not play it. Creative Nomad (which I have) doesn't play 
it. Same with Apple iPod. Same with the Sony media Juke box that I have 
(It plays Audio CD, Video CD, and mp3). Same with nearly 90% of the 
devices out there. Beleive me, I can easily find URL of portable audio 
manufacturers that can not play ogg.

As much as I would like to see ogg succeed, I think it would never make 
heavy inroads into the market. It will always perhaps remain something 
like PNG, a niche for nerds.

To the OP, didn't I warn you that asking about favorite file format is a 
good way to start a flame war? ;-)

Re: backporting Questions

[Elliot Dray]

Elliot Dray wrote:
1) when you issue the command "apt-get -b build-dep" what exactly does the 
build-dep do, does it install dependencies from the branch your trying to 
install the package from?

I think you have this command confused with another.

apt-get build-dep packagename
I got that command from an email on this list and when you run it, it does 
work (or at least it doesn't error).

fakeroot apt-get -b source packagename

This command is not run as root.  It downloads the package source.  It
then builds the package.  To build the package it needs root-like
privileges and so use fakeroot.  But don't use real root.
Is it just because of good practice why you shouldn't use root? there is no 
technical reason, is there?

1a) when it lists the files to be installed, what happens if they have 
dependencies, do you have to keep drilling down?
>1b) is there a script out there to automate the drill down?

If there are build dependencies then the apt-get build-dep should
install them.  If there is a dependency upon another package in
unstable which needs to be backported then you need to start again at
the beginning and to backport that package first.
So you have to find the root and work forwards, ok. Does anyone have a 
script that can do this or is it a by hand job?

1c)do you end up with a system at testing or unstable by stealth, because 
it has recursively installed so many products?

Yes, no, maybe.  It depends upon what you are installing and how you
define things.
As a test I was thinking of evms (only as a test) or request-tracker3. I 
suppose it depends on how many programs you have to backport in order to get 
the one you want to backport successfully. I'm not sure what you mean by how 
you define things?

2) will these dependency files overwrite existing files?
3) can you remove these dependant files after you've managed to install 
your package, as one email I found indicated?

What are dependency files?  I could not deduce to what you were refering.
I was basically refering to the files that get installed as part of the 
build-dep, once you've managed to build your backport can you remove these 
files that were pulled down in order to satisfy the dependencies so that 
your package would build from source. Again this was what was said in 
another post awhile back.

4) if a package is very easy to backport, why isn't this done as part of 
the original build process?

Because it is an arbitrary line between packages that you want to have
in the backport and all packages.  For example, why isn't glibc
backported?  Pretty much at the point in time that you backport
everything you now have testing/unstable.  So this is only viable when
you want to stay on stable but also want or need a few specific
targeted packages.
Ok, understand, but wouldn't it be viable for some packages which have few 
dependencies (and backport easily) to be backported at the time of creation 
by the developer? just a thought

5) In one email I saw this command " apt-get -b build-dep 
packagename/testing", this format didn't work for me as apt tried to find 
packagename/testing instead of packagename in the testing branch. Is this 
suppose to work?

Hmm...  Can't say.  I don't know.  I am not an expert on pinning.  I
usually avoid pinning.
ok, no worries

Thanks for your answers, things are clearer now and I'll have a play with a

You have exim set up as an Internet Site, not a Smarthost Client.

To deliver the message, exim first determines (via DNS) that the
machine centrion.com.br is the one that handles mail for
centroin.com.br.  It tries to connect there so it can deliver the
message, but the connection times out.  Normally this is retried
periodically.  However, since you are using dial-up I suspect that you
are not online nearly continuously.

| What is going wrong?

As David suggests, instead of trying to deliver mail directly to the
recipient, pass it off through your ISP's smarthost.  The smarthost
will then handle connecting to the recipient's mail server and
retrying like it is supposed to.

No, but you are out of luck (AFAIK) for ready-made solutions.

What you can do is instruct exim to pass all messages through a pipe
as it delivers them.  In your system filter put
unseen pipe "/usr/local/bin/gpg-key-retrieve"
(read the exim manual for setting up a system filter; it really is
quite trivial)

Then create the program "gpg-key-retrieve".  It needs to parse enough
of the message to determine the key's id and then merely run the gpg
command to retrieve it.

You may not be kidding, but I hope you're wrong.  I've reformatted all
the disks in another zip drive (borrowed, no plasma).  They appear to be
working so far.  If I ever get my own lab, though, I'll see that

Sounds like you used ffmpeg, which is used, IIRC, by mplayer and

Re: How long should "Updating mozilla chrome registry..." take?

I'm on an Athlon 2600+ 1Gig RAM SCSI drives, so I suppose it would 
qualify as a decent machine ;) I've let it run for an hour before I 
Ctrl-C'd it. But now even when I run 'apt-get remove mozilla' or any

chrome registry. I'm about to wipe the partition and try again if no 
one can suggest anything better :( I hope this isn't a sign of things

On a reasonably fast machine (Pentium class, 300MHz), not more than 
five or ten minutes. If you're not in a hurry and you're on a slow

eth0: error -110 failure writing Tx descriptor to BAP

[TyagiAnupam]

Hi,
I am getting this wireless error with Linksys WPC11 ver 3 card. What is the easiest way to fix this? I am using auto-detection of hardware that came with Knoppix.

Whither logwatch? Or equivalent?

[Bob Proulx]

Whither logwatch?

In the past on RH systems I have used logwatch to summarize
interesting logfile events and mail them to the admin.  Recently I
have not used anything.  Just yesterday a friend, that I have
convinced to try Debian, asked about logwatch.  I would like to give
him a good answer.

Of course I 'apt-cache search'ed for logwatch and logfile and found
several other examples of packages which do logfile analysis.  But I
was surprised that logwatch itself was not among the list.  Does
anyone have a .deb of it?

Since it is obviously not favored among Debian users or it would be
more readily available it leads me to ask what are the favored log
watch utilities?  I can certainly walk through the list of available
ones.  But here I would like to learn from your experiences and hear
your recommendations.

Thanks
Bob

I was under the impression that DVD is mpeg2 and so is SVCD? -could be
wildly wrong there!

Having said that, i had a nice raw mpeg2 .bin image which played fine in
mplayer but when burnt to cd the DVD player said "format unsupported" :(
mplayer will play the cd with the SVCD option.

wired aptitude behaviour with whiptail and libnewt0.51 (latest unstable)

[Miernik]

I just run apt-get update on the latest unstable, and then run 
aptitude.

Here is what I get after g:

--\ Packages being removed because they are no longer used
idA libnewt0.51 127kB 
0.51.4-8   0.51.4-10
--\ Packages being deleted due to unsatisfied dependencies

It want's to remove whiptail because of libnewt0.51 (UNSATISFIED), and 
it want's to remove libnewt0.51 because it is unused.

I'm notreally sure if or to what is this a bug, so I post it here

Do you think would be wise to wipe out the old box without 
finding out how it was hacked or at least, if it is 
actually hacked?
Over here we also have a suspicious box (a Woody one). 
But it had been quite hard to see if it really cracked.

I think you have this command confused with another.

  apt-get build-dep packagename

That command installs all of the dependencies that are needed to build
the package.  This must be done as root since it is making an
installation.  This is only needed if you don't have something
installed that is needed to build the package.  The 'help2man' is an
example that comes to mind from some packages.

  fakeroot apt-get -b source packagename

This command is not run as root.  It downloads the package source.  It
then builds the package.  To build the package it needs root-like
privileges and so use fakeroot.  But don't use real root.

If there are build dependencies then the apt-get build-dep should
install them.  If there is a dependency upon another package in
unstable which needs to be backported then you need to start again at
the beginning and to backport that package first.

Yes, no, maybe.  It depends upon what you are installing and how you
define things.

What are dependency files?  I could not deduce to what you were refering.

Because it is an arbitrary line between packages that you want to have
in the backport and all packages.  For example, why isn't glibc
backported?  Pretty much at the point in time that you backport
everything you now have testing/unstable.  So this is only viable when
you want to stay on stable but also want or need a few specific
targeted packages.

Hmm...  Can't say.  I don't know.  I am not an expert on pinning.  I

If I understand you right, you get mail from several lists as well as
personal and work mail all through one account, and you want to have the
different categories to to different folders in Evolution.

I do this.  I don't even use any other mail agent (fetchmail or such - I
probably will in the future).  I entered my pop email account details
into Evolution, and all the mail comes into the Inbox.

Where I select one example of each mail type (I can select by sender,
recipients, mailing list!, or subject) and tell Evolution which folder I
want such mail to go to.  I can create the new folder on the fly during
this process, if I want to.

The first time, I then use Ctrl-A to select all messages, then
right-click in the Inbox list to get a context menu and select "Apply
Filters".  Evolution filters all the mail into the newly designated
folders, and then does it automatically from then on.

No fuss, no muss.

There's a recipe given in the man pages for this, but not in man

  cdda2wav -v255 -D2,0 -B -Owav

If you care about quality, wav. 

If you also care about storage space, compress it with flac
(free *lossless* audio codec). 

If you care about storage space more than quality, ogg.

If you care about storage space more than quality and you want to
share your audio files with Windoze lusers, mp3.

Ogg and mp3 are *lossy* compression formats, which means they throw
away data to help compress the file and therefore produce artefacts on
the output (cf. the fuzzy border around sharp edges in jpeg images).
Ogg produces higher quality than mp3, is faster, and is free.

These are all nonstandard high ports above 1024. Anytime your system
makes an outgoing TCP connection it will open an unused high port of
this type and use it. Maybe that's what it is -- depending on the type
of port scan you did I suppose they could show up.
netstat will list them along with what they're connected to at the other

I installed another box and put it in the first box's place. I've run my

not a single strange port was listed, while the old box had several hundreds 
of odd ports open in just 1 day of scans. Once I noticed the odd ports, I 
could reproduce it by hand at will. These high ports have yet to show up in 
a scan of the new box.

from the nmap man page it says:

Open means that the target machine will accept() connections on that port.

Does that include a port used to communicate with a remote webserver from 
inside my network via NAT? I've tried scanning my box, while generating a 
lot of webtraffic and I have not been able to see these ports via nmap, so I 
don't think so. Wouldn't a packet that's not part of its connection, one 
from a random communication attempt be dropped because its sequence, etc are 
all wrong?

Lets just say the old box is not getting back on my network until after I 
wipe it.

Yup.  You want to enable WINS in the samba daemon (it's right there in
/etc/samba/smb.conf) and tell your other clients about the WINS
server.  If you're using DHCP to configure your Windows hosts, you can
automate the task of telling them about the WINS server by telling
your DHCP server about it.

Yeah.  Fetchmail grabs the mail from the specified server, then
delivers it to the local mail system.  (by default it uses SMTP to
localhost:25, but doesn't have a terribly robust SMTP implementation)
The local mail system thus sees the messages as new (because it is
newly delivered through the mail system) and will all be delivered to
your inbox unless you have some sort of filtering/sorting set up.

The mail isn't stored in a file called "imap".

If you have a typical basic/default set up, your inbox is
/var/mail/$USER and any other folders are located in ~/Mail.  In
addition, you are probably (but only you know how you configured
things) using the 'mbox' format which puts all messages into a single
file.  Based on that assumption :

To move the mail spool from the old server to the new one, do the
following :
(on old server)
cd ; tar -zcvf My-Mail.tar.gz /var/mail/$USER Mail

Then copy "My-Mail.tar.gz" to the new server.  (I often use scp
for that)0

(on new server)
mkdir /tmp/foo ; cd /tmp/foo ; tar -zxvf /path/to/My-Mail.tar.gz
cat ./var/mail/$USER >> /var/mail/$USER
for F in ./Mail/* ; do cat $F >> ~/Mail/`basename $F` ; done

Note: this little bit of shell doesn't handle the possibility of
having directories in ~/Mail with folders inside of them.  If you have
that sort of arrangement, you should be able to extend these
instructions to handle that.

My solution was simple enough-see attached files-may or may not be the
solution.

May be not  You may be right, my knowledge of C is not that great. I am hoping 
here at having to make minor changes in the code.
I found the line

static char *WmStr[17] = {WmNoChange,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL};

where the variable is defined. Now, it seems to me that the garbled output begun 
before the 12th window manager, or even before the 13th (17-4=13, guessing the use of 
NULLs), so I am not sure about what to do next.
Assuming the needed change is just to write, say, 100 instead of 17. Then what, should 
I follow the instructions given in

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html

??

Thanks to all, and special thanks to Noah.

Is it normal?


Just a shoot in the dark:
Did you completely log out and then log in again after adding yourself
to the winusers group?
AFAIK changes in group memberships will only apply after the next
login...

In this case, what can I do in order Linux Mozilla and Windows Mozilla
to share address books and bookmarks? (I thought of symlinking them).


First of all: better try to use the same release on both platforms.

When using Mozilla I set symlinks from abook.mab, bookmarks.html,
cookies.txt and the Mail and News folders to the corresponding windows
targets.
Unfortunately there were some drawbacks:
Sometimes Mozilla doesn't follow the symlink when saving a file (ie. a
mailbox) but creates it anew thus thrashing the symlink. That's why I
set up some folder symlinks...
It worked for me for some time, but then I quit using Windows at all, so
I don't know how good / stable this solution is. YMMV...
HTH,
Flo

What do you mean by folder symlink?

Dear all,

on one of my boxes, I am not able to run an update.  The error is:

E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

I am running sid with apt-get 0.5.5.1 on an ia32 box.

Is there any way I can fix this problem?  Strange enough, on other
boxes there is no problem with sid.

TIA.

wbr,
Lukas

RE: Stepping down ethernet card speed

Yeah, mii-tools lets you do that. If that doesn't work, then ethtool should.

Perhaps mii-diag might help you...

To set the speed automagically once the network starts up I personally use
this:

Any comments are appreciated...
