Symbolic links in /etc/alternatives not working as intended

[--slave   ] ...

chosen.

I'm trying to update my /usr/bin/vi to use gvim instead of vim.
Currently, /usr/bin/vi is a symbolic link pointing to
/etc/alternatives/vi.

david:/home/david# ls -l /usr/bin/vi
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Apr 3 11:49 /usr/bin/vi ->
/etc/alternatives/vi

david:/home/david# update-alternatives --display vi 
vi - status is auto.

/usr/bin/nvi - priority 30
slave vi.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/nvi.1.gz
/usr/bin/vim - priority 120
slave vi.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/vim.1.gz
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/vim.

So, I tried this command as root:-

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/vi vi /usr/bin/gvim 130 --slave
/usr/bin/vi vi.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/vi.1.gz

Entering this command will return me the help file on
update-alternatives instead. I suspect the syntax for my --slave
arguement is wrong, most likely the . What link is
pointing to vi.1.gz , with the  of vi.1.gz and pointing
to  /usr/share/man/man1/vim.1.gz ?

I've read the man pages, but it doesn't elaborate further on the usage
of the --slave arguement.

Please advise.

Thanks !

Re: Your information

2004-04-10 Thread Autoresponder

Success!  Your email address has been added to our subscription list for the P4 update 
newsletter.  

There is no fixed publication schedule for this newsletter; it will be sent out each 
time there is new information about P4/P5 cards.

P4 UPDATE

The rumors are flying: everyone seems to know a friend whose brother's best buddy has 
a programmed card. However, we can assure you that he doesn't. There is no programming 
currently available for P4 cards.

However, there are very reliable reports that the P4 has been cracked. But do not 
expect to see a programmed P4 card until the HU datastream has been completely and 
finally terminated.

To this date, there are thousands of customers still using HU cards. DTV cannot 
terminate the data stream until all customers have been switched over to P4 cards. We 
doubt that this will occur until next year at the earliest.

Why are programmers sitting on the P4 crack? Because its value increases dramatically 
when it is the only game in town. 

Even when it comes, programming for the P4 will be extremely exclusive. Do not expect 
it to be available to the end user, or even to us. Instead, we'll be able to buy and 
sell you pre- programmed P4 cards. But since the code will be a very closely guarded 
secret, you can expect the fixes to last for a very long time. 

In the unlikely event that the card is blacklisted, hashed or looped, you'll have to 
send the card back to us for re-programming.

Eventually, probably around 6 - 8 months later, the programming will probably become 
available for general use. At that time, there will probably be a simple atmel flash 
that will upgrade your existing programmer to program P4 cards in pretty much the same 
way you program HU cards right now.

And remember, unlike many other sites that have been selling only HU card support 
(under the guise of LIFETIME HU SUPPORT which is for the life of the HU card, not for 
your life as you might assume), our support does NOT expire simply because the HU card 
is dead. You will have support with us for the full duration of the term that you have 
purchased.

Finally, if you've been hesitating about buying a no745 bootstrap because you're 
concerned that they will become outdated when the P4 crack becomes available, don't 
worry. There will be as much - if not more - of a shortage of bins for the P4 card. 
And you'll need the bootstrap even more to keep your P4 card working. Check the 
details about bootstraps here. 

RECOMMENDATIONS

- starting in November, don't buy any more HU cards 

- starting in November, don't buy any equipment intended exclusively for HU cards such 
as HU Avenger (it is not certain whether they will work with P4 cards)

- if you haven't already done so, grab a no745 bootstrap (they are designed to work 
with P4 technology)

- although subbed bins will not work with P4 technology, the price has dropped so much 
that it is still a good investment and you will likely get your money's worth long 
before the HU card is retired

Just realized something.  For nodes created in /etc/udev/links.udev, the
udev.permissions are completely ignored because those nodes aren't
created by udev (udev only creates node exported through sysfs, and the
nvidia stuff hasn't been ported to sysfs yet).  For me, using the
upstream packages, I put the permissions for the nodes I create in
/etc/init.d/udev file, but you might want to check with the Debian
maintainer to see if there is a Debian way to do it (there might be some
stuff in the doc directory).

Problem with sed s command

2004-04-10 Thread David P James
I use KMail to read this and other mailing lists. When replying to a 
message, KMail will look for the last instance of  and remove that and everything below 
from the reply. A problem occurs however on mailing lists that use that 
format to delimit the unsubscribe info when the author has also used it 
since KMail will then only remove the unsubscribe info and not the 
author's sig.

The solution seems simple enough - use a KMail filter to pipe messages 
through sed to remove the second signature delimiter if there is one. 
Here is the sed script I am using but it doesn't work as expected:

sed s/'^\-\-\ '//2

From my understanding of the man and info pages, this should look for 
the second instance of  and replace it with nothing. 
Unfortunately it doesn't. If I remove the 2 sed removes *all* cases 
(rather than just the first as I would expect). Same thing happens if I 
replace it with 1 or g (g is not surprising, but 1 and nothing are). 
Other numbers are similarly ineffective on test cases with insane 
numbers of sig delimiters.

Any hints?

Hi Damon, checking my system, and following as indicated, I created
the entry in /etc/fstab for sysfs; installed sysfsutils. However, here
is the following:
hpd:/home/tony# cat /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/X11R6/lib

and

ls: /usr/local/bin/lsbus: No such file or directory
hpd:/home/tony# ls /usr/local/bin/systool
ls: /usr/local/bin/systool: No such file or directory

This makes me suspect that perhaps Debian does it diffrently. Did you
have the same problem in your system, or it was as described in the
howto after installation? At this point I wonder if I just should add
these lines by hand.

Thanks you for your help.

Problems with X 4.3.0

2004-04-10 Thread Jean-Sébastien Guay
Hello,
 
I am running Debian testing, and have recently upgraded to XFree86 4.3.0
using "apt-get upgrade". I have a problem I have no idea how to solve, so I
would appreciate a few pointers.

If I try to change to a text terminal once X is started (using Ctrl-Alt-F1
for example), no text is displayed. It looks as if the monitor is not
switched back to text mode or is in an invalid frequency range, because I
see some lines moving everywhere on the screen but no text. However, I can
type commands and they are executed (I know because, for example, I can
"shutdown -r now") but I have no idea why I can't see the text... And I can
switch back to X with Ctrl-Alt-F7 just fine.

Here is my XF86Config-4 file, in case that makes any difference. I generated
it with xf86cfg, and tweaked it a bit (i.e. added a DefaultDepth line and
the Modes lines in each depth to limit the modes I want). If you're
wondering why I have a BusID line in the Device section for my video card,
it's because X would not start ("no screens found") if I didn't put it in.
This is also new for me, because the X version I had before (4.2.1 I
believe) did not need this.

(pam_securetty) access denied

2004-04-10 Thread Volker Schlecht

Hi,

since a few days (weeks?) I notice a message saying "(pam_securetty)
access denied: tty ':0' is not secure" in my auth.log when I log in
via kdm or do an su in a konsole. The login and the su do work,
though.

I don't see any such message when I log in or su in a normal console.

Any ideas on what's going on here? Please CC: me, I'm not subscribing
to this list.

cya,
Volker

P.S.: I'm running unstable with a homebrew 2.6.5 kernel.

I couldn't get courier-ldap to work so i deleted it and

Courier to play nice with pam.
I've traced /var/log/syslog whenever i access my imap

samba shares and case sensitivity

2004-04-10 Thread Micha Feigin
I am having an issue with samba exports. I am trying to compile a
program with msvc (Yes I know the enemy) which resides on a samba share
on my linux system (I actually developed it cross platform with
wxWindows and msvc is running under vmware so my interaction with the
big devil is as minimal as I can make it ;-)

Anyway the problem is that msvc creates the output directory as Release
and then tries to write to release. Under win this works since names
are not case sensitives, with the sabma share in crashes
measurably. Any way around it (currently I am manually creating a
sym link to solve the problem but I don't like it because it hard to
handle with cvs).

Yes, a common shell question.  Here are the two common ways of
creating ascii tabs on the comand line.  The first is maximally
portable back to very old v7 systems and are preferred by some.  The
second is my preferred method on modern systems.

  TAB=`awk 'BEGIN{printf "\t";}'`
  TAB=$(printf "\t")

As a bash specific feature you can use $'\t' but since that is so bash
specific I hate to use it.

But basically, yes, you have to create a variable first and then use
the variable where you need the tab.  Alternatively you can create
literal tabs but it is whitespace and gets lost easily.

Control-q is the same thing you do in vi to get the literal character.

X hangs system on log out

2004-04-10 Thread james
Hello

About a week ago I posted this problem on the debian-laptop
list, unfortunately I received no response so I am having a
2nd try with this posting on both the laptop & the
debian-user lists. Also I suspect that this might be a
generic nvidia problem.

Recently I have noticed that whenever I log-out from kde or
gnome, or run 'shutdown -r (or -h) now' or even try the kill
X by using Ctrl+Alt+Backspace the screen goes blank and the
whole system appears to hang.

System Details (or rather what I think is relevant) -
Dell Inspiron 2650 P4, 32MB GeForce2 Go
Kernel 2.6.3
Debian (testing/unstable),
xserver-xfree86 v4.3.0-7
xserver-common v4.3.0-7
nvidia-glx v1.0.5336-6 (probably earlier when problem
started)
nvidia-kernel-common v1.0.5336-1 (probably earlier when
problem started)
nvidia-kernel-source v1.0.5336-6 (probably earlier when
problem started)

As far as I can tell the problem started as a result of a
standard 'Upgrade system' using Synaptic, which installed an
upgraded version of nvidia-kernel-common &
nvidia-kernel-source. I made the new nvidia module and
installed it but did not reboot. Later when I noticed the
problem I upgraded all the nvidia & xserver bits to unstable
in an attempt to solve the problem but this did not work.

I can spot nothing in the syslog or XFree86.0.log (or any
log for that matter) that gives me a clue as to what the
problem is, it looks as if the system just stops.

Any useful pointers as to what might be causing this would
be gratefully received.

James

What I want to be able to do is call gnus from within Mozilla

Is it in sarge, or should I be looking elsewhere for it? Is

The debian installer allows you to write the installer to one keychain,
plug it in, plug in a second that will hold the target system, and do a
straightforward installation to it without touching any local disk.
(Alternatively, you can boot the installer from a CD.)
Booting the result can be a little bit tricky; at least my computer will

Do you have the ide-subsystem loaded as modules? Unlike devfs, udev
doesn't load modules, but rather when the modules are loaded
(automatically by /etc/modules or manually) the nodes are
created. Basically, different setup.  The solution is to load the
ide-subsystem in /etc/modules.

Check some of the other nodes, for instance your scsi drives, to see if
they have the correct permissions (should be something like
root.disk). I had this problem some time ago (with my memstick, I
think), but I don't remember for which udev version.  I think the

"smartest" way to do backups .. assuming you want to protect your data

Thanks for the help.

I use 2 methods of backup: mondo and partimage.

Mondo backs up  CD's (R or RW) that can be booted and I prefer it 
because it doesn't depend on your HD.

Another advantage is that it is portable: you can take that CD and boot 
it on a different architecture. I always use mondoarchive before I do 
dist-upgrade.

Also you can archive the partition you are running on.

Partimage is faster but not portable and you cannot backup the partition 
that is mounted.

Just point lilo to where the partition is, e.g.:

image=/hdb6/vmlinuz
label=hdb6-2c-22
root=/dev/hdb6
append="hdc=ide-scsi apm=on dumbcon=2 ddcon=1"
vga=9
read-only
image=/vmlinuz
label=hdb1-2c-22
root=/dev/hdb1
#   initrd=/initrd.img
append="hdc=ide-scsi apm=on dumbcon=2 ddcon=1"
vga=9
read-only
So on partition hdb6 the image is vmlinuz on the root device and on 
partition hdb1 also.

Re: lkm trojan

2004-04-10 Thread Pistnbroke
Hi I am replying to the LKM trojan thing, i have seen this in my install 
too.
Last night i reinstalled, and i 1>fresh install 2>unplugged the 
net   And run chkrootkit imiadiatly after install done.it said 3 
processpossible trojan installed...i would have to believe this is a 
bug.
my linux is only few months old,i am a new linux user(have no windows @ 
all), so this did make me look hard at my sys, i could not find anything 
unusual,i have watched my modem, nothing unusual there either, i watched 
the modem for a full week.
my last resort was to reinstall (i had no reason to reinstall except for 
this LKM concern), so when it showed up on a fresh install. that would 
lead me to think this is a bug.
BUT i will still be watching..probably always will(one is always 
concerned when he sees that kinda thing), and it's my only OS.
Thank you for your time.still don't take this to the bank..it's only 
what i have found on my system, and my own conclusion.

Hello Manu,

It looks like you're missing the sg module.
I've got an external Plexwriter 24/10/40U, which is recognised as:-
Linux sg driver version:  3.1.25
Using libscg version  'schily-  0.8'.
scsibus1:
 1,0,0   100)  'PLEXTOR'   'CD-RPX-W2410A'
'1.03'   Removable  CD-ROM

It works well.
I just did my first burn with it, the new Beta 3 Sarge Installer.

On an ATAPI system you must use:

To burn a cd you have always to use dev=/dev/hdc.

 

I think it depends on where it is mounted.
If it is an internal unit, mounted as secondary master,
that may well be the case, it should register as hdc.
If it isn't, it won't be.
I have a typical ATAPI set-up.
A master and slave on primary, a CD-ROM as secondary master
and another IDE drive for a secondary slave.
But running Sarge with a 2.4.21 kernel, my external Plextor automatically
registered as a scsi unit, and I have no complaints. Works well.

As for compiling features as modules or not,   if you're using a
debian-packaged kernel (this includes kernel packages built with
'make-kpkg'), just list the necessary modules in /etc/modules and run
'dpkg-reconfigure kernel-image-...'.  The postinst script for the
kernel package will rebuild the initrd image and include all the
modules listed in /etc/modules.  In this manner you can have things
like IDE support, filesystem support, and even RAID controller support
built as modules without any boot problems.

back up and lilo

2004-04-10 Thread Hans
Happy Easter,

I want to experiment a little bit with my system. Before that I want to 
back up my stable system to another partition, in case I mess up. What 
is the smartest way to do that and how do I change lilo.conf so that I 
can boot in to both partitions?

E.g. stable system on /dev/hda3 --> back up to /dev/hda7. Lilo points to 
/dev/hda3 as Debian and to /dev/hda7 as Debian_backup.

Thanks for the help.

Ok, it really depends on your config.

When you run make {x,g,menu}config there is a short description for each

Compile IDE support into the kernel, do not compile IDE support as
modules. And don't forget to rerun lilo after replacing the kernel. If
you need more help, please post the relevant contents of your Kernel
config file.

It's seems you didn't include your file system in the kernel, such as

you put in as a module?

If you were using a 2.4 kernel don't forget to install mod-init-tools

I'm still not able to get it listed in the GDM sessions menu. I already 
did quite some googling but still no luck.

In /etc/gdm/Sessions there is an xfce4 script which has the right 
permissions.

What I cannot find out where gdm gets the info about the available 
sessions. For example I first had also KDE installed and it was in the 
session menu. Then I wiped away KDE and it was still in the sessions 
menu. I think after some update of gdm it was removed from the session 
menu, but in /etc/gdm/Sessions there is still a KDE script.

So how can I get a session and in particular Xfce4 added to GDM?

Jaap

BTW I'm running SID

Hi,

Suggestion what I am missing here and how to make it work?

Thanks,

Indeed. I compile the latest Mozilla's myself to get xft and a splash 
and I have the same problem in 1.5: it seems to do nothing. Did you 
check bugzilla? Also it works in 1.7b which is the latest, which I run also.

VFS: Cannot open root device

2004-04-10 Thread Markus Lindström
Okay, here's the deal.

I'm a newbie trying to get Debian Woody to work on my comp.
Unfortunately, the native 2.4.18 kernel shipped with it doesn't support 
my network card.

On the other hand, compiling a newer 2.4 kernel resolves the problem. 
BUT, I'm trying to compile a 2.6 kernel (which I've heard many good 
things about). In fact I've been trying to compile 2.6.4 and 2.6.4-ck2.
The compilation itself doesn't encounter any problems, so that's clear.

The problem comes at boot time, where I can the following message:

VFS: Cannot open root device "341" or hdb1
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on hdb1
Any ideas how to fix this? I've read around a bit, some people claim 
that it's due to missing IDE drivers, so I activated them all just in 
case and... nothing happens. LILO doesn't seem to be the problem either, 
 considering that the original vmlinuz image has the exact same 
configuration as the new compiled one.

Many thanks in advance,
Markus.

HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted

2004-04-10 Thread Tim Beauregard
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hi,

Could someone please help me find the kernel config settings which I've
neglected, that prevent me from using DMA?  I expected inclusion of AMD
and nVidia IDE chipset support (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_AMD74XX=m) would be
sufficient.  I have tried enabling DMA only for disks
(CONFIG_IDEDMA_ONLYDISK).  I can enable DMA normally with the stock
2.2.20-idepci kernel.  I'm using Debian Unstable.  I have tried setting
idebus=66 (100 didn't work), and acpi=off.
Follows is a series of relevant logs and messages.

Thanks in advance,

Tim

CDRW conf

2004-04-10 Thread Manu
Hi

I have never used a CDRW on Linux and was wondering
how to configure it. I am using kernel 2.6.4-1 and

I have when starting my pc I see the following:
---
 hdc: PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W1610A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive 
---

when I execute "cdrecrod -scanbus" I get:

cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open 
'/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.

I thought with kernel 2.6.x I would not need ide-scsi
emulation..



Following is the list of module I have currently
loaded:

What am I missing? I also read I need to add something
to lilo.conf...

Evolution and spambayes

2004-04-10 Thread Simon Cahuk
Hi!

I'm using evolution 1.4.5 and spambayes 1.0a9. 

I have 3 subfolders: spam, debian and gentoo. If I move a message from
one folder to another one, that message isn't visible anymore, but it
stayes in the first mbox, too. For example, I move a spam from debian to
spam subfolder, the debian mbox stil contains that spam. 

So, if i run sb_mboxtrain.py -g evolution//debian/mbox, that spam
will become ham.

The main inbox  (Inbox/mbox) has 2600 messages, in evolution are visible
only 229. How can I fix this? 

Thanks, 

Simon

The few times I encountered those errors, it was because of some fried
memory. Try running memtest86 or some similar tool to make sure your RAM

Thanx for the tips, but if you read my post more carefully, it was not the 
matter of setting the correct brightness of my monitor :).

However, Elimar Riesebieter pointed me in the right direction by sending his X 
config, and hinting about drm.

After compiling drm into the kernel the problem went away.

People from the Netherlands (spelt Nederland in the local language) who 
incidentally are referred to as "Dutch" in all English speaking countries 
generally don't tend to get offended by such things.

"North Holland" (Noord Holland) and "South Holland" (Zuid Holland) are two 
provinces of the Netherlands, the people in those provinces tend to not mind 
the entire country being mis-named, while people who live in other provinces 
are more interested in correcting it.

Below is a URL containing a map of the provinces of the Netherlands, it was 
the first result that google returned...

http://www.coffeeshop.freeuk.com/General/Provinces.html

Nederland means "low land".  The Slovak term for "low land" would be another 
possible name for the country.

In the case of an installer or any other software which offers a selection of 
languages the right thing to do is to display every name in it's local form.  
So refer to Germany as Deutschland, South Africa as Zuid Africa, etc.  When 
someone is installing software you can assume that they know the local form 
of their country's name and the representation of their language's name in 
that language, they can not be expected to know other forms.

I expect that most people here don't know what language "Anglais" is, or what 
country is referred to as "VS".

Indeed.

Not the case over here. :(

Re: udev: how to do it right?

it seems that it gets created later. On boot there is no such thing.
However, when I make /dev/hda2 with mknod and then mount that partition,
hda and hda1 get also created, along with /dev/ide/bus. So something is
working, but udev needs to get 'triggered' as it looks like...

Another problem I have been running into are the permissions. I have a
nvidia card, so I added this to links.udev:
M nvidia0   c 195 0
...
M nvidia7   c 195 7
M nvidiactl c 195 255

These get created on boot, but with the wrong permissions. Adding stuff to
udev.permissions doesn't help in any way:

nvidia*:root:root:0666

It looks most like udev.permissions is completely ignored.


So 2 questions have raised:
- how to let udev create device nodes/trees in advance/on it's own
- how to set permissions right for manually created devices


Thanks all,
Sebas

Re: dvd & tv-out problem with X

2004-04-10 Thread Kristian Niemi
Seems there aren't too many using / interested in tv out.

Anyway, I managed to get tv-out to work (by using atitvout) with telling 
X to use the vesa driver instead of radeon. (I.e. by editing 
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4, looking up the device driver (was "radeon") and 
changing it to "vesa".)

There's one problem with this fix though: I can't use (the video out (?) 
driver) xv anymore, but have to use x11 to playback movies etc..
/It works/ like this, but it would be nice to be able to use xv ...

Not sure why it stopped working in the first place though: whatever made 
it not-work, must be something else than what I changed; I tried / 
looked at a backup of XF86Config-4, and I /had/ been using the `radeon' 
driver before (and it worked).

Kristian Niemi wrote:
Question I:

I've got this strange problem; tvout in X doesn't work any more -- works 
fine from shell though (i.e. `bashing' on tv works ;) ).

I have a ATI Radeon 7500 Mobile card on a Dell Inspiron laptop, running 
Debian unstable (up to date). I'm using the package atitvout to `attach' 
tv (command atitvout -f t)

The thing is, and the strange part, that everything worked fine a couple 
of days ago, Tuesday to be exact. So my guess is that some package, that 
has gotten updated since Tuesday, is causing this. Perhaps there's some 
really easy setting(s) that I have forgotten about?

Does anyone feel like taking a guess as to what package might be causing 
this / what settings I could try? I have a feeling it has something to 
do with X, not atitvout, but I could (very well) be wrong. Can you think 
of a package that might have something to do with this?

The only thing I've really added to Debian since then, is XFCE-4, 
including all recommended packages. (Don't see how that might have an 
effect?) *Everything looks fine, works fine*, except when looking at it 
through the tv. The commands I use to attach the tv is as they were when 
it worked, as is XF86Config-4 (I tried with a backup conf).
