You and everybody else with a 2.6 kernel and an nVidiot card.  I can't
wait until I have money again so I can see just how far an nVidia card
will sail when launched from a skyscraper rooftop.

> Any pointers?

1) Go to http://www.minion.de/ and get the appropriate driver.
2) Realize that nVidia is more trouble than it's worth.
3) Chuck nVidia card, get a video card who cares about the Linux
   community (like, say, ATI).

What is your final goal?  I see three distinct possible courses of

1) The more-work route: Cut your losses and scrap the Frontpage idea,

2) The throw-good-money-after-bad route: Go talk to your vendor.

Hi Steef,

I think it is gphoto2 what you are searching for.
Install libgphoto2-2 and then one of those graphical frontends for it 
like digikam, gtkam or even gthumb.
This should be it already. Test it as root and it should work. If you 
want to access the digicam as nonroot, read
/usr/share/doc/libgphoto2-2/README.Debian for further instructions.

If you want it really comfortable use can use hotplug in conjunction 
with gnome-volume-manager/hal/udev. If you want more information on 
this topic you can search for Project utopia on google.
This is a rather advanced topic and also only works with kernel 2.6.
But once you have it all running it really shines.

Michael

thanx michael,

this seems to have to do the job.

Don't do this.  A lot of software just hasn't been tested to be

extremely devastating bugs that Windows' always-root type security

Actually, that's user-hostile, but OK.  Plus, there's plenty of GUIs
that simply don't need to screw around with the system.  At work, I
use (a slow, seriously badly designed GUI) tool to configure and
activate cell phones all day.  Under what circumstances would this GUI

I've been running a fairly general-purpose debian system on compact
flash for 3 years now. I don't upgrade it every day, but it does follow
unstable. I upgraded my CF card from 32 mb to 256 mb recently, but I've
had no problems with card failure with my setup.

If you're trying to do something similar to me, and it sounds like you
are, then you may find the flashybrid package useful:

Description: automates use of a flash disk as the root filesystem
 Flashybrid is a system to help in setting up and managing hybid
 flash/disk/ram based Debian systems which can run most of the time
 using only a small flash disk for their root filesystem and do a useful,
 but limited task (such as being a router, or a PDA, or a rescue system
 on a USB keydrive). The flash can be as small as 32 mb, though 64 to 256
 mb is more comfortable.
 .
 When such a system needs to be upgraded or managed, or if you need a
 full-fledged Debian system temporarily, a flashybrid system converts
 quickly from an embedded system into a larger, normal Debian system.
 .
 Flashybrid supports systems with a supplimental hard disk that holds the
 parts of Debian that cannot fit on flash. It can also support larger
 flash-based systems with no supplimental hard disk. It makes it easy
 to mount a flash disk read-only, to avoid excessive writes to the flash,
 by storing the volatile parts in a ram disk and rsyncing them back to the
 flash at shutdown.
 .
 To use this package, you will need a 2.4 or greater version of the linux
 kernel, with tmpfs support built in.

OK, I got into my system using knoppix,

chroot /mnt/hdb1

This got me where I needed to be, to reinstall my kernel.
However, it would not install, there was an error saying

(something like that...)
So I tried apt-getting another different kernel, and got the same error.

You might be disappointed with 802.11a.  It's not upward-compatible

I just picked up a Belkin F5D6020 ver.2 card (802.11b PC-Card) at
surpluscomputers.com for $20.  It uses an Atmel chip with no driver
in linux-2.4.25.  However, there was a well-packaged driver in
source form on Atmel's Web site, mentioned in the manual that
came with the card.  It built without errors and loads and
runs with no problems.  You'll need kernel source.
They had a PCI card with the same chip, too.

1) Mount your hard drive's  root partition on /mnt/root (or something like

2) Execute "chroot /mnt/root" from the shell prompt

Your root directory is now the root directory of your hard disk's Linux

You don't have the module needed to boot the /root fs compiled in, 
and/or initrd isn't setup correctly. IMHO, you should compile into your 
kernel all the drivers it takes to boot. The initrd system isn't really 
needed for compiling a custom kernel for your box, esp when you know 
all the hardware/fs. Caveat, if you build kernels to be portable, i.e. 
for multiple boxes with differing hardware, and don't want to compile a 
kernel for each, initrd can save time.

I have a VIA-based chipset, and that's how my config is set. The menu
structure in "make menuconfig" for that section seems to suggest that's how
it needs to be done.

However, the OP is using i810, which is an Intel chipset, so the correct
options in that case is the Intel i8xx support (CONFIG_AGP_INTEL) rather
than CONFIG_AGP_VIA.

I know that using dpkg-reconfigure to reconfigure X doesn't work if you've
edited the X config file by hand. Perhaps the same is true in this case as
well.

If so, you could try renaming the interfaces file and running
dpkg-reconfigure again.

Hey, this oughta get a chuckle out of some of you...
I have Debian Sid with kernel 2.6.4, self-compiled, working fine untill...
I decided to recompile the kernel again, changing some stuff around, building 
more stuff into it, and taking more stuff out...
when I did 
dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.4_custom.2.0_i386.deb
I got an error at the end, something about couldn't make initrd image, but I 
figured what the heck, it will still boot off the old kernel, since the 
entries were still in /boot/grub/menu.list.
Wrong!
I can no longer boot at all, kernel-panic etc, so I am writing this while 
booted to Knoppix.
I can't see how to use this as a 'recovery disk', cuz everything I try to do, 
requires root access, and Knoppix by default has all accounts locked, and no 
passwords, etc.
I was gonna try to reinstall my other kernel, but can't.
I am now hopelessly hosed, please advise!

Thank you. I attempted to insert the above line in the
/usr/bin/plucker-setup, but it came back with the same results.

I guess I don't need that software. it's been deleted.

Again, thank you for the response

vsftpd

2004-04-05 Thread Pete Clarke

Hi there,

I am running vsftpd v1.2.1 backported for Woody on an otherwise pretty
standard install.
The problem is that when running, I can only connect as one certain user (me
as it happens)..all other users get "Login Incorrect" errors , even when the
correct username/password combination is used..

The vsfpd.conf file looks like this:

listen=yes
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
userlist_enable=YES
userlist_deny=NO
userlist_file=/etc/vsftp/user.list
chmod_enable=NO
dirmessage_enable=YES
hide_ids=YES
ls_recurse_enable=YES
pasv_enable=YES
port_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
accept_timeout=30
connect_timeout=30
data_connection_timeout=120
idle_session_timeout=120
local_max_rate=6144
max_clients=5
max_per_ip=1
banner_file=/etc/vsftp/banner
cmds_allowed=GET,PUT,PASV,FEAT,RETR,PWD,LIST,TYPE,LS,ASCII,BIN,HASH

The /etc/vsftp/user.list file looks like:

pclarke
lloyd
emu

If I try to log in with a user *not* in the user.list file I get an
immediate login denied message, which I would expect. When trying to log in
with a user other than pclarke, I get the "Login Incorrect" error.

Any ideas??

Cheers,


Pete.

AFAIK, this technique is mainly used for "embedded" systems and I put the
quotes there because one man's embedded system is another man's Cray. The
CF disk normally would contain a kernel image, a compressed root
filesystem, and a bootloader like 'syslinux' (on a i386-based system)
that loads the kernel, then loads the filesystem image and then boots the
kernel. The kernel is configured to have its root filesystem loaded as a
ramdisk. The CF disk has a FAT 16 filesystem on it and is normally not
mounted at all during operation. It can be mounted periodically to
read/write configuration files that can be used to configure applications
in the root filesystem (in the ramdisk).

The advantages to this are that the filesystem image is virtually
incorruptible and there is no harddisk to fail. Embedded systems are
typically not "shutdown" nicely like a desktop or server, but are just
switched off.

This is very practical for "appliances" like you mention, but I would
think impractical for a general-purpose desktop or server. I do not think
that it is practical to maintain such a system as a Debian machine because
the filesystem image that I have described must be "built" using a bunch
of tools.

My day job is developing routers and network communications devices for
military applications and we've been using Linux in an embedded sense
since about 1999. We did release an early product that was essentially a
Debian filesystem (with a lot of stuff ripped out of it), but it was
significantly larger in size than one can do by building one's own
filesystem and is not really the way to go.

I don't know what your background or desire is in terms of doing this, but
my feeling is that one really needs to do some software development to
build something like this. There are a lot of resources on the web about
this, search for "embedded linux". There is also a great book on the
subject, "Building Embedded Linux Systems", by Karim Yaghmour, that I
highly recommend.

There was a very interesting and useful project called the Linux Router
Project that unfortunately is now dead, don't know about any spinoffs from
it. This provided somewhat of a turnkey system like what you are
describing.

There is something called PTXdist  that is a
developer's tool to provide a significant jumpstart to developing an
embedded Linux system that you might check out.

There is a Debian-related project called Emdebian
 also.

Anyway, there is a TON of stuff on the web about embedded Linux and a lot
of embedded distributions in various states. You'll need to do a little
research and see what you can find that fits your application and interest
level.

Good luck...

I also have the VT switching problem with gnome (when using the gnome

This error message also occurs if the script is missing execute

In initscripts_2.85-9 there's bootlogd, which logs all the stuff that
comes from running the init.d scripts. You have to stick
"BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes" in /etc/default/bootlogd.

Seems like a well known problem. Example:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2004-February/206269.html

You could try to add a line on top of the plucker-setup script,
something like this:

# -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*

But this should really be added by the plucker author(s). Strange that
they haven't done so already.

No, PC is a box of kludges that has managed to dominate the market by

I may have solved it ;-).  Do you have a VIA-based board?  I

agpgart *and* via-agp.  I'm still waiting for my next reboot to

But there must be something wrong with X; it's slow, slow

Warning: Do not use gcc-3.3.3-5 in testing

2004-04-05 Thread MrVanes

Hi,

I recently apt-get updated my debian-testing machine and received g[cc
++]-3.3.3-5. After this for some reason I (re)compiled Qt 3.3.1 and got
stuck with a broken KDE i.e. I could no longer start KDE through KDM.
Starting KDE from xdm, or from a bare xsession was possible, but fonts were
mangled.
It turned out that qtconfig crashed with a segmentation fault when I tried
to reconfigure my fonts and so did the fonts part of kcontrol.

After long searching, recompiling Qt, KDE, reverting to Qt 3.3.0 etc. etc.
it dawned to me that the more I recompiled things, the more got broken...
Hence my guess it could be my compiler (valgrind-ing qtconfig told me the
error was in the fresh compiled libqt-mt.so.3 library and nowhere else).
Upgrading g[cc|++]-3.3.3-5 to 3.3.3-6 (from unstable) and recompiling Qt
3.3.1 and KDE-libs + base solved all my problems.

DO NOT USE g[cc|++]-3.3.3-5!!!

Hope these 2 cents can save some people from ugly broken systems!

Grtz. Martin

site "one" has aliases "five" and "seven"; site "three" is on

as aliases for "localhost".)

when trying to use this config, apache2 belches

NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts

we'd love to know why. pointers are very welcome!

===

what search terms could we use at google to get pertinent
results? we've tried

apache2 'has no virtualhosts'

and see lots of questions similar to ours, but no definitive
answer has crossed our radar just yet...

we also encountered the source code to "vhost.c" -- and the
error message comes from function "remove_unused_name_vhosts()"
which heavily implies that when the error message shows up, the
vhost goes away... except that when we browse to

http://three/

or

http://five/

we GET THE SITE WE ORIGINALLY EXPECT! (this indicates that the
virtual site IS working, doesn't it?) when we visit one of the
two aliases, tho, we get the uber-root (/var/www instead of
/var/www/one).  so now we're more confused than ever. :)



hey!

not knowing even enough to dig a deep hole, looking at
remove_unused_name_vhosts() we see

*pic = ic->next;

and later

*pic = &ic->next;

is the ampersand superfluous? is this a typo?

You're right.  I thought that "ROC" was the label that *China* had applied
to Taiwan.

Please substitute "PoC" for "ROC" in my previous statements.

By assuming the stance that Debian is uniquely ignoring one single line of
an ISO spec to endorse the position that Taiwan is advocating, then Debian's
position is itself compromised, and everybody associated with it.

Seriously, if enough people don't like the ISO list, then pick another
officially recognized list to use.  *Anything* else is choosing political
sides.  I keep hearing that Debian should avoid taking sides by taking
Taiwan's side, and I just don't get it.

Followup to /dev/null, it appears that this conversation is hopelessly
deadlocked.

How do you express this with a C compiler? You don't.

I suggest dropping Taiwan from the list entirely until they make up their
minds.  Software development is the wrong place to argue politics.

(note, I *DO* have my own opinion on this matter, and it's probably not
what you're guessing from my conservative approach here... but software
development is the wrong place to argue these sorts of things so I keep my
opinions to mailing lists which care about this topic!)

Why do I need mkinitrd with 2.6?

2004-04-05 Thread Jeff Mitchell

Hello--

For whatever reason I can't boot up a 2.6 kernel (on Sarge-testing)
without using mkinitrd to generate an initrd file.  No Debian 2.6 HOWTO
I've read has this step, and a friend who has build kernels on
Woody-testing has never had to do it.

If I don't have an initrd and appropriate line in /boot/grub/menu.list,
I get the following:

VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append correct "root=" boot option
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

Using mkinitrd (having it scan the directory with the 2.6.4 modules),
copying the output to /boot, and configuring menu.list to use it makes
my kernel work just fine.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

Thanks,
Jeff

I'm afraid you have confused something.
Taiwan, R.O.C., which stands for Republic of China,
is the appellation that the Taiwanese have chosen for themselves,
and in no way interferes with the concept of self-determination.
'Province of China' on the other hand is a totally  different proposition.
It is the imposition of a political stamp applied by mainland China,

Sid and Root on Compact Flash ?

2004-04-05 Thread Iain Young

Hi All,

I've seen a number of 'HOWTO' documents on installing Debian on 
Compact Flash, but most of the ones I've seen deal with installing
it once, and using stable.

Has anyone had any experience with using Sid, -and- keeping it
up to date with apt-get update and apt-get upgrade regularly ?

How long do the modern CF cards last before they need to be replaced ?
Most of these machines would be router || dns || ldap type machines - 
ie small, dedicated for a particular job, rather than general purpose,
or graphics.

Any other tips ? I guess moving syslog to be over the network
might help, but I'd think the apt-getting would probably be more
costly in terms of CF life.

I'm thinking of migrating my home machines to the Mini-ITX factor,
and so was considering going all the way, and doing without a hard
drive in most cases.

(And yes, Im one of those nutters who like to have the leading
edge software)

Recent versions of SpamAssassin allow one to do this. I found it rather easy to
do with the Webmin frontend to SpamAssassin. Also, with spamprobe it's quite
trival to flag one as spam. I've done this recently with some coming through to
this list.

I dunno if they are, but this capability exits already, with a plug-in for
Webmin.

2 graphic cards and 2 display's

2004-04-05 Thread messmate

Hi list,
here is my big problem:
I've a CAD-CAM system equiped with 1 big monitor (for the drawing's) 
and 1 litte(15") who's display the menu.
The graphic cards are :
1 double artist-card for the drawings monitor.
1 trident TGUI9440 card for the 15" monitor.

I've installed on other partitions debian woody.
But can't get working the xserver on the 15" monitor with his trident
card.
Setted the pci id bus as " PCI:0:12:0" after a lspci to detect it.
And the xserver won't start; the message is :
"TRIDENT: no matching device section for instance (Bus ID PCI:0:18:0)
found. No devices detected."

I've setted the bus ID to 12 and not 18 !!!

What can I o ?
Any help would be very appreciated.

mess-mate

You can't, really. It's a bug in libc6. See

Re: trouble with finding the keyboard

2004-04-05 Thread James D. Freels

I have a previously-compiled SMP kernel that indeed does find the
keyboard.  However, I modified the .config file to include the
additional memory and other features not present in the previous kernel
and now this new kernel cannot find the keyboard.  I do not have the
.config file from this previously-compiled kernel.

First I want to confess that I work all the time as root since my
beginning of using Linux (I forgot when this was).

Second it's ten times easier to mess your system in console mode 
("rm * test" instead of "rm *test" comes to mind).

Third a true user friendly GUI system should not allow any user
(including root) to trash your system in a single step. Actually it
should never allow it but it needs some time to get such a system.

Re: automaticaly collecting email using mozilla -- debin version

2004-04-05 Thread robert fernando

Hi all,
I thought that it was as siimple as ticking the relevant boexs in the
config for each mail acount, but I an not seeing news msg being
downloaded, unless I specificaly request read new msgs.
I ticked the following in the server setting of the acount setting dialog

download mail at start
check mail every 3 minutes
automaticaly download new msgs
leave msg on server
delete msg from server when delete localy
empty trash on exit
I then selected this aoount as the default mail account.

Any suggestions.

thanks

perhaps I misunderstand your question, but you can easily configure
Mozilla to do so. Of course you have to start mozilla once X is running,
but there is most likely an autorun script somewhere to start it.

Exim oddity

2004-04-05 Thread David

I know this might be more appropriate in exim-user, but I'm not
subscribed there and I know there are some exim experts here, so here
goes.

System's Sarge, exim4, mutt - dialup

Last night, I tried to reply to a msg on another mailing list.  I was
offline, and, to my surprised, it was immediately returned with host
lookup failure.  I made a couple of other attempts to resend it - same
result.

I renamed exim4.conf to something else and substituted an older one.
After exim4 restart, still no go.

The day before, I'd purged some old packages that had been removed but
still had configs.  I'd caught a couple that had some configs with same
names as current packages, so moved these out of the way, and replaced
them after the purge, but wondered if I'd accidentally removed something
that exim4 used.  I did dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config.  Still no go.

I then tried replying to some mails in my personal mailbox as well as
some msgs on debian-user.  These all queued (I then removed them).
Tried the "contrary" ML again - bounced!

In all these trials, I'd also done a few more exim4 restarts.

Finally, I went online and sent the message - it went OK, of course.

Then, out of curiosity, I tried another message to that ML offline and
VOILA!  It queued!

So..  does _anyone_ have any idea what was happening?  I'm curious!  It
seems that _something_ was causing exim to want to do immediate delivery
for that one ML and didn't want to queue it, but would queue others.
But what could it be?  Exim does its own sendmail.  AFAIK, no other
process is involved with an Exim send, is there?  How could such a
"misunderstanding" on Exim's part survive 3 or 4 restarts and suddenly
clear up after one successful send?  I'm puzzled!
