The easiest thing is to configure DHCP. I suspect that you have configured a static IP which is not compatible. The easiest thing is to use DHCP. At least to bootstrap yourself and get running initially. Check /etc/network/interfaces. auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp Check /etc/resolv.conf. It should have a good search and IP address for your domain and your DNS server. The IP address will not be the IP of the router but the IP of the DNS server upstream of it. The following should restart networking and dhcp a new address. You don't need to reboot. /etc/init.d/networking restart Or just: dhclient eth0 Bob pgptgkgzsyTdE.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: problems with debootstrap and stable or sarge
Hi David! I know that Colin Watson gave you expert advice and it seems like you are now moving forward. But I wanted to shift gears and ask a different question.

Do I understand that you downloaded the entire depot? Since you downloaded the files to the machine you are going to install upon I know that you have networking. Which means you can do a network install instead and only download what you need. You can do this in a chroot and I think avoid that painful download of things that you won't be using. Usually I do a debootstrap using the live network and it only needs about 107MB to install a basic system. Then whatever else is whatever else and a basic x86 server runs in the neighborhood of 500MB in a practical configuration. The debian.org docs on this (this section written by the other Collin, Collin Walters, IIRC) are quite good. http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-chroot Additionally Karsten Self wrote a nice howto of related information. http://twiki.iwethey.org/Main/DebianChrootInstall Some time ago Guillem Jover wrote: I've made now publicly available the script[1] I've been working on to substitute in runtime any distribution to Debian.

Having come from the old days, blak on white is reverse for me. ymmv.

Version specific notes for debs
I primarily use the aptitude curses interface when updating my boxes. I run it, update the package list, then shift-u and 'g' to see what needs to be upgraded. In scrolling down the list as each package is highlighted the info section below shows me " being upgraded from version blah to version blah2". I was thinking it would be really nice if it also showed some package notes for this particular build. This would be of particular interest for security patches. i.e. "This build incorporates bigfixes fixing vulnerability blah. See for more info". Or, it could even list out the fixes incorporated from the BTS. In a desktop setting I could see having a bug watchlist and then if aptitude could check that, it could bring it to the users attention.

after dist-upgrade mutt in reverse video
Hi, I am running a testing machine and just did a dist-upgrade. This time when I start Mutt from the menus, it shows up in reverse video. Before it looked as if it was being run from rxvt, which is not in reverse video. Now it looks as if it is being run in xterm, which also starts in reverse video from the pulldown menu. I have looked around trying to find where the xterm defaults are, but haven't had much luck. I looked at /usr/lib/menu/mutt and see that it "needs'text'", and I'm wondering if there is a text setting. Mutt works fine if I start it in an rxvt window, but I'd like to be able to start it from the pulldown menu. I don't have a .XDefaults file.

That won't work. The other side of the DSL modem is not on the 192.168.1 subnet. Apparently you don't realize: 192.168.1.1 IS the IP address of the router itself. If you're plugged into the router and can't see that address, something is seriously wrong. Have you tried hooking a computer to the router via Ethernet (rather than WiFi), setting it to use DHCP, and rebooting it? (On a Debian box, of course, you can just restart the DHCP client daemon instead of rebooting.) As i remember, the Linksys box is a DHCP server and should assign a valid IP address to the computer in this situation. It's quite possible the thing is defective.

I don't think so, xfstt isn't "part of X". (doesn't have any
dependencies on X.)
111 is "connection refused". Maybe xfstt isn't actually running, or
maybe your /etc/hosts.{allow|deny} aren't allowing the connection.

Copy Linux Filesystem/Check/Compare Filesystems
Team: I will shortly need to copy about 100 gb of data from one filesystem to another. While cp would probably do fine, others have suggested using tar or some other tool that is more robust for performing the copy. Any suggestions? Just exactly how would one tar one filesystem to another, without the intermediate tar file?

Escputil --raw-device and CUPS
Hello, I've got the new Epson Color Stylus C83 printing OK with CUPS via the router. Everything available with CUPS admininstration seems to be working fine. However, I want to check the ink level, and for this I need to use a command line tool, escputil. The output for $ escuptil -i -r /dev/lp0 is 'Cannot parse output from printer'. I've got the two-way option assigned in the kernel. Also quite liberal permissions for access in the /etc/cups/cups.conf. Strangely, $ escputil -d -r /dev/lp0 gives an answer: @BDC ST ST:04; which I hope refers to STylus. I suspect that there is something needed in the cups.conf file relating to groups and possibly passwords, but I can't make head or tail of it. Alternatively, I could get my wife's Windows Laptop to plug in to the printer, install the Epson software, and check the ink-level there, without any rigmarole. Defeatist though. Is the access to the raw device deliberately difficult, or is this something being worked on, or wished-for?

What are the alternatives to PayPal which do not require US/[insert other country name here] bank accounts. Because PayPal is credit card based there's far less hassle for both those paying and those receiving money. And as far as I know, PayPal is the only one that will allow you to deposit from a credit card (via their account) into either a US or Canadian account. I'm not sure if I'm being clear or not in my question. Apologies if I am.

[OT] Yahoo's Antispam proposal

I guess it would be a good addittion to the rest of the anti-spam tools (like white/black lists, CRM, Bayes and so on), but it would require new modules for the most MTAs out there.

/dev/md0 and udev
I'm running Sarge with a 2.6.5 kernel. I'm trying to create a RAID 5 array of three disks (though for initial setup I'm only using two of three). When I reboot, udev does not re-create my /dev/md0 device, so the RAID array won't start. Any suggestions?

USB card readers that work?
I would imagine almost anything would work but I'd like a list of models people have used with debian and which they may have also used with their digital cameras. My intent is not to worry about whether the cameras is supported but rather if the card reader is. I have an older IBM laptop A20m model circa 2000 which may well have older 1.1 USB. Not really sure.

Screen won't work after 'su non-root-user'
If I ssh into a machine as root, then su to a non-root user, then try to run screen, I get this error: Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/0' - please check. I also get this error if I log into my local machine as root, then su to a non-root user and try to run screen. However, if I either ssh into the remote machine, or log into the local machine, directly as the non-root user, screen works fine. Both the local and remote machine are updated with the latest packages from Debian, both unstable and testing. It's seems that, somehow, when I su to a non-root user, something changes that prevents screen from working. Any ideas? Sean O'Dell

Re: Choppy sound with ESD
Hi there, I found that it was the way I was starting up esd. If I start it using -tcp it skips and jutters, if I start it with -unix it works like a charm. Now this is fine for the local machine, but I also really need it for network audio. I was looking into alternatives, arts seems possible but difficult, nas seems outdated and needs patches to compile cleanly on Darwin (which I need clients for). I tried both mpg123 and alsaplayer, both with the same results. I read up about some RedHat bug report about a similar caveat in esd, but it was claimed to be fixed in 0.2.24 and I'm running 0.2.29. I haven't tried libesd0, just libesd-alsa0, if that's any help. Does anybody have any clues?

The whole FTP-install went perfect.
Well now I've got this problem with the X-server (see the log-files
attached. Btw, I think it's the XFree86.0.log you might wanna have a
look at) - Linux won't start X while the display settings are false. I
couldn't identify any drivers for my (onbord ASUS) graphics card. I
tried selecting VGA, but it didn't go well. With SuSE there was no
problem at all (except it couldn't find a "real" gfx-driver, but it
worked fine all right - in a res. of 1280x1024, 24bits @ 75Hz).
You're probably installing woody/stable, which is really old, and
doesn't have hardly any hardware detection. It's a great OS for a server
which doesn't need to have X but does need to be rock solid. However,
for a workstation, I think you'd be better off upgrading to
sid/unstable. Then your experience is likely to be closer to what you
had with SuSE, RH, etc.
Why doesn't the system auto detect the whole thing for me like with
SuSE, RedHat etc.? Did i miss something?
No; as mentioned above, Woody is ancient and doesn't autodetect hardware.
PS. There is a small error (I think) in the installation. If you
create a boot-disk _before_ configurering LILO, it won't return to the
setup with this possibility... (?)
The next version of Debian has a new installer, so if you are installing
Woody, this'll shortly be a moot point. Still, you might want to search
the bug list (http://www.debian.org/Bugs/) to see if this has been
reported already, and if not, report it.
(--) PCI:*(1:0:0) VIA unknown chipset (0x7205) rev 1, Mem @ 0xd800/26, 0xdc00/24

Please forward 'scanpci -v' output to XFree86 support team.
(EE) Unable to locate/open config file
(EE) Error from xf86HandleConfigFile()
If I had to make a guess, I'd say that your kernel/X is too old to
recognize your video card. What's the result of "lspci"?
If you want to upgrade your system to sid, edit "/etc/apt/lists.sources"
and change all network instances (ftp, http) of "stable" to "unstable",
EXCEPT for the security line; leave it at "stable". Then run "apt-get
update" followed by "apt-get dist-upgrade". Now your "lspci" and X will
probably recognize your chipset/video.
If that doesn't solve the problem, you might want to upgrade your
kernel. If you are installing Woody, you're probably using a 2.2 kernel
still ("uname -a" will verify). You can search for a newer kernel with a
command like "apt-cache search kernel-image-2.4" or "apt-cache search
kernel-image-2.6". 2.6 is mostly stable now, and as long as you're
upgrading, I'd go ahead and jump to 2.6 (unless you have special needs,
hardware, software, etc, that needs 2.4).
After upgrading your system and/or kernel, you'll probably have more
success in getting X to work (as well as USB, etc).

Raid superblock woes - what keeps trying to move my raid drives at boot?
Hi all, I have a working raid0 setup, on partitions hdb2, hdc2, and hdd2. However, every time I reboot, something makes the system look for the raid parts on the whole drives instead of the partitions. From dmesg: > device-mapper: 4.0.5-ioctl (2003-11-18) initialised: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27 > [events: 0006] > md: bind > [events: 0006] > md: bind > [events: 0006] > md: bind > md: ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/disc's event counter: 0006 > md: ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/disc's event counter: 0006 > md: ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/disc's event counter: 0006 > md: device name has changed from ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part2 to > ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/disc since last import! > md: device name has changed from ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/part2 to > ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/disc since last import! > md: device name has changed from ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part2 to > ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/disc since last import! I have to do the following after every boot: mdadm --stop /dev/md0 mdadm -Cv /dev/md0 -l0 -n3 -c32 /dev/hdb2 /dev/hdc2 /dev/hdd2 then restart my vg and mount my partitions. After recreating the array, both mdadm -E /dev/hdb and mdadm -E /dev/hdb2 give the same result (I think they look at the same superblock), ending in: >0 0 3 660 active sync /dev/hdb2 >1 1 2221 active sync /dev/hdc2 >2 2 22 662 active sync /dev/hdd2 Anyone have an idea why the system wants to use the whole drives at the next boot?? Thanks, Peter
mailman & postmaster (exim?) message...
hey folks, ever since I installed mailman and got lists running, I've been getting error messages from the postmaster on my local machine: From: Mail Delivery System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Message frozen Date: Wed, 19 May 2004 08:00:06 -0400 Message 1BQPjy-0002km-00 has been frozen. The sender is <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. The following address(es) have yet to be delivered: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: remote host address is the local host --- I assume this is exim sending these messages, but I don't quite understand what the problem is (why is it a problem for the remote host address to be the local host?). I have the following line (among a number of others mailman told me to insert) in /etc/aliases: mailman-owner:"|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner mailman" does this look wrong somehow? Is there somewhere else I should be looking? thx as always for your help. m -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: duplicate emails
Clive Menzies wrote: The default behaviour for exim4 is to eliminate duplicates (according to the official guide) - I would guess that exim3 is similar. Hmm. My system definitely isn't working like that. Perhaps it's because I'm filtering through procmail/spamc, and the headers are getting changed so that the messages actually are different in the end? Also... mentioned that Maildirs might change things. I have lots of Maildirs under IMAP. Some (my spam folders) get filled by procmail. While others are filled when I run my mail client. I should change that, but I'm not too familiar with procmail's syntax for filtering, etc :/ -- Lee Braiden [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

UW-IMAPD namespace
uw-imapd isn't properly telling my IMAP client (evolution) where my inbox and other folders are. I don't know if this is a uw-imapd problem or an evolution problem. uw-imapd seems to be very poorly documented, and I can't figure out how you would tell it where to look for folders and mailbox spools. Can anyone point me to a resource that explains how uw-imapd works and is configured? The only configuration that appears to be present is authentication method. Or would people recommend switching to another IMAP server, for example, mailuitls-imap4d? -- Adam Kessel http://adam.rosi-kessel.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

webmin-exim configuration problems.
Hi all, I have exim4 installed and running fine, I'm using the single /etc/exim4/exim4.conf file method of configuration. I have installed the webmin-exim package but it's giving me this error: Unable to find the exim binary or it's configuration file. If Exim is installed on your system try the module configuration. In module configuration I have: Exim executable /etc/init.d/exim4 Exim configuration file /etc/exim4/exim4.conf Is this wrong? Or is the package broken?

I've also noticed that when I send signed email to mailing list (which returns to me), I can see and verify the signature. looking at the source of this message (compared to signed message I got from CERT) it seems that there is a line that handles mime: Content-Type: multipart/signed; which doesn't exist in the emails I get from CERT. ...
