New newsgroup for Debian users
Hi Had to reveal my email address for this post, but I guess its ok if this new newsgroup takes off and opens up a choice for Debian users. Following positive response in comp.os.linux.misc and generally supportive response in alt.config, I have created the first unmoderated newsgroup for Debian GNU Linux - alt.os.linux.debian by sending out the control message. Please help in propagating this newsgroup to your favorite news server by requesting them to carry it. Let us get it started. -- CHARTER: For questions and answers relating to the installation and use of different flavors of Debian GNU Linux (stable, testing, unstable and other derivant distributions). The newsgroup will be unmoderated. JUSTIFICATION: Debian GNU Linux is one of the most popular Linux distributions (consistently ranked in the top 5-6 distros - http://www.distrowatch.org/stats.php?section=popularity ). Its user base probably numbers in millions worldwide. The largest number of derivant Linux distributions are based on Debian (97 - http://www.distrowatch.org/stats.php?section=independence ). A survey of available Debian newsgroups on groups.google.com reveals that there are no unmoderated newsgroups available specifically for Debian GNU Linux. The newsgroups in the linux.debian.* hierarchy are all moderated and are linked to mailing lists via a mail to news gateway, and hence require a valid email address for users to even post their queries. Though these lists have heavy traffic, a large number of Debian related posts end up on the comp.os.linux.* hierarchy every day. These newsgroups (under comp) are not specifically geared towards Debian and people often get incomplete advice for their problems.Over the past one year, the number of users using Debian and derivant distributions like Knoppix has steadily risen partially due to its highly evolved package management system and the discontinuation of the personal version of Red Hat Linux. Thus, creation of this newsgroup would at once be timely and extremely well received. In this age of spammers harvesting email addresses from newsgroups and mailing lists (such as linux.debian.*), with spam rising to above 60 % of total email traffic (http://www.brightmail.com/spamstats.html), ability to use spam.invalid style addresses in unmoderated genuine newsgroups can help in alleviating this problem. ___ Do you Yahoo!?

Yes, I add the console= line to my boot image in pxe, but I still get weird characters .. It works fine when I do a (cringe) redhat install.. Is it maybe the kernel I'm using (sarge) ?

Well, my computer can talk to any other, to a degree. For some reason larger outgoing TCP streams being sent from my computer stall. My computer receives data just fine, but seems to have trouble sending it. Mind you, this only happens to individual streams, and it does not happen in Win98, which is why I suspect something in my Debian install is broken.

This seriously needs investigation. http://www.google.com/groups?selm=2qVhI-80D-5%40gated-at.bofh.it The one replyer said he didn't see anythign wrong. I had 2 machines with ntp packages and adjtimex querying two known good upstreams, plus three pool.ntp.org servers, that upon upgrade of sid a couple of weeks ago, broke at the rate of ~12 and ~14 seconds per 10 minutes (for my two machines, very constant for each), which was ~twice the rate that the OT reported). One went through a kernel reboot and the other didn't, so it wasn't a new kernel issue. Uninstalling ntp and adjtimex and reinstalling didn't fix. Uninstalling, *purging* (so drift file and config files gone), *rebooting*, and then reinstalling fixed. Doing one or the other of rebooting and purging was not good enough - the kernel keeps state in one case, and the ntp drift files etc keep state in the other case. I haven't tried to reproduce this, but things to note were the drift file *seemed* to have normal contents, the adjtime file was slightly off (but should only affect the hardware timer anyway, and was probably off because ntp was so confused - you can't calibrate the hardware clock off a faulty software clock). One other very clued in guy on the scary devil monastery also found this problem a day or two ago. I've been in communication with him, and it seems these are all related. There is a hard to trigger bug somewhere, but if you want to track it down, you'll prbablky need to reinstall old version of ntp and/or adjtimex and just keep working forwards and backwards until you trigger the bug again. -- TimC -- http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/staff/tconnors/ Computers are not intelligent.

Yes. Use sudo. apt-get install sudo first (if you don't have it)
Create a script in /usr/local/bin, call it, say, smbmounthack, put the
commands that you need to execute as root in it, and edit /etc/sudoers to
authorize yourself to perform the desired action as root.
The following is clipped from an email I posted to this list a couple days
ago. :)
Okay, here's an example. On my laptop, I want to let ordinary users shut
the machine down. Of course, /sbin/shutdown is root only, as it should be
(ugh, setuid is bad).
In /etc/sudoers, I have:
User_Alias USERS = {my user list}
Cmnd_Alias SHUTDOWN = /usr/local/sbin/shutdown.sh
Cmnd_Alias NTPDATE = /etc/init.d/ntpdate
USERS ALL = NOPASSWD: SHUTDOWN, NTPDATE
That allows users to run shutdown.sh and ntpdate (but only from the init.d
script, not ntpdate by itself, which means that they can't change the
server that ntpdate uses).
shutdown.sh looks like this:
#! /bin/sh
#
# Meant to be used as a target for sudo to allow users to gracefully
# shutdown the laptop.
case "$1" in
restart)
/sbin/shutdown -r now
;;
shutdown)
/sbin/shutdown -h now
;;
*)
echo "Usage: shutdown.sh {restart|shutdown}" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
This prevents users from using any other modifiers to shutdown.
So in my other scripts (I have some that call Xdialog to confirm shutdown
or restart), I use sudo /usr/local/sbin/shutdown.sh shutdown or
sudo /usr/local/sbin/shutdown.sh restart to allow users to shutdown or
restart.
You would probably want targets like mount) and unmount) in your script.
This is, of course, assuming that you never figure out how to mount the
SMB share normally. (Perhaps smbmount needs to open a priviledged port, or
something?)

Perhaps your PIT is going south? (PIT = Programmable Interval Timer, a variable-frequency timer usually set to 100HZ by Linux.) I'd take the easy way out and turn ntpdate into a minutely job.

clock suddenly slipping behind
over the past few days, i've noticed that my system clock gets about ten to fifteen minutes slow over the course of a day. this is really weird! i've been using ntpdate to synchronize it with a timeserver whenever i notice it, and i put it in a once-a-day cron job, but i want my system to ALWAYS be on time. i'm confused as to what's causing this, and how i can fix it. any ideas? thanks, -- .~. nori @ sccs.swarthmore.edu /V\ http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/~nori // \\ @ maenad.net /( )\ www.maenad.net/jnl ^`~'^ ++ Sponsor me as I run my SECOND marathon for AIDS: ++ ++ http://www.aidsmarathon.com/participant.asp?runner=DC-2844 ++ signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Re: the Packages files should get to mirrors last -- no swarthy emails
The problem is an ursine.ca user reads the debian-user list and sees a message by from a jidanni.org user and sends an offlist comment directly to that jidanni.org user. When the jidanni.org user tries to email a response back to the ursine.ca user. His mail is blocked, greatly disturbing the jidanni.org user who has just taken the trouble to reply, because his email country of origin has been determined to not be up to par. So we learn that all .org's aren't all in the land of the upstanding countries. And my mail was even solicited, not unsolicited. I was not just sending mail on a whim, but hitting the R key to mail that was sent to me and no one else. So keep better track of who you guys email, they may want the privilege of replying with out submitting an application. Or block your user from sending in the first place. I suppose we see .net .com .org are not safe to send to as there is no assurance anymore that a reply might not come from a bad country and not the United States. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi, I switched from a Lucent LT Winmodem to a hardware modem just recently. The Winmodem worked fine for the 2.4.26 kernel (Debian Sarge) using a package downloaded from: http://www.sfu.ca/~cth/ltmodem/dists/debian/8.31a3/ But I couldn't get it to work with a 2.6 kernel (it's more work, but I hear it's possible). So I gave up and bought a hardware modem (internal PCI). The one I'm using now is a U.S.Robotics 56K Performance Pro modem, model 5610b. You can find this modem everywhere (at least where I live): Fry's, CompUSA, the better local computer stores. No special driver is needed, just the basic serial driver will run it. But it wasn't just "pop it in and go". It showed up at ttyS14, which didn't even exist in /dev. After creating ttyS14 and setting up symlinks, configuring /etc/ppp/options, and disabling eth0 ... it worked. In fact, it works GREAT. Right away, I got faster connection speeds. The pathetic Winmodem rarely achieved connections over 32 kbps. The new hardware modem often connects at 42+ kbps. It's not broadband (LOL), but hey, it's an improvement.

The agpgart module should be included with any Debian kernel 2.4 package available in woody, sarge or sid (with the possible exception of the woody boot-floppies kernel). $ dpkg -S agpgart.o kernel-image-2.4.26-1-k7: /lib/modules/2.4.26-1-k7/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o kernel-image-2.4.27-1-k7: /lib/modules/2.4.27-1-k7/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o What happens if you just run "modprobe agpgart" as root? Now, I'm not sure whether the XFree86 in woody is new enough to recognize current i810 boards, but maybe you can try sarge or sid. -- Kevin B.

Error upgrading KOrganizer
Hello, I'm running Sarge and I'm trying to get KDE 3.3 but I ran into a problem. When updating KDE I run into this...

Title: Amazing Joke Of The Day There was a woman who wanted to repaint her house, so she called the contractor and set an appointment to meet with him. When the contractor came to her house they did a walk-through and he asked her what colors she would like. They came to the living room and she told him that she would like a nice, warm cream color. The contractor wrote something down on his pad, then walked to the window and yelled, "Greenside up." The lady is a little confused, but doesn't say anything, and they continue to the dining room where she tells him, "I would like a nice warm white in here, nothing stark." The contractor writes something down on his pad, then walks to the window and again yells, "Greenside up!" The lady is really confused now but still does not say anything. They continue to her bedroom and she says, "I would like a nice, cool, relaxing blue in here." The contractor writes something on his pad and again walks to the window and yells, "Greenside up." The woman is now totally perplexed and says to the contractor, "Three times I have told you the color that I want, and you write something on your pad, then you walk to the window and yell greenside up. What is going on?" The contractor replies, "You see, I have four blondes laying sod across the street."

/usr/bin/editor missing: update-alternatives problem?
Somehow /usr/bin/editor got deleted, and this is causing problems upgrading many of my editors. I first saw this with vim (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=267095) a week ago, but it's since bit me with many others (I track testing). I suspect this has something to do with the fact that, in an effort to make emacs my default text editor, I pointed editor at /etc/alternatives/emacs (rather than a "real" binary): # update-alternatives --display editor editor - status is auto. link currently points to /etc/alternatives/emacs /usr/bin/emacs21 - priority 0 /bin/ed - priority -100 slave editor.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/ed.1.gz /usr/bin/nvi - priority 19 slave editor.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/nvi.1.gz /usr/bin/vim - priority 120 slave editor.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/vim.1.gz /bin/nano - priority 40 slave editor.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/nano.1.gz /etc/alternatives/emacs - priority 150 slave editor.1.gz: /etc/alternatives/emacs.1.gz Current `best' version is /etc/alternatives/emacs. (That was from before /usr/bin/editor vanished, though I see about the same output now). I suspect the real problem is not vim, but either that I have used update-alternatives improperly, or that it has a bug.

What would make it > want to look in/usr/share/images?? Just a guess, but is he using relative or absolute paths to the images? /usr/share/images sounds like a common apache alias for things like the images displayed next to different file types for directory listings when there's no index.html file. Depending on how that alias is setup and how he's referencing his own images directory in his img tags, that could make apache look in /usr/share/images instead of his own images subdir. The easiest way to test this would probably be looking for all images aliases in your apache config file, commenting them out and then restarting apache.

You say that like it's a bad thing. :-)
Recipes start out with a negative score. Generic patterns that match
add "1" to that score. Once the score goes positive, the action
clause is executed. So, for the above, a match on either triggers the
action (a non-match has no effect). "man procmailsc" explains this.
If you want the action to trigger when both match, you can "seed" the
score:
:0:
* -2^0
* 1^0 ^To:.*debian-user
* 1^0 ^Cc:.*debian-user
debian-user
That "-2^0" will set the beginning score to -2.

I ran into a lot of problems when I began. Multiple readings of "man
procmail*" helped a lot. There's also the procmail-users mailing
list. Go read through their archives if you can't afford to
subscribe. There's many _very_ good websites out there to help you
with lots of examples. Timo Salmi's is pretty helpful when you're new
to this. So is Nancy McGough's (sp?). If you read Usenet newsgroups,
comp.mail.misc is the place to go.
One suggestion you should take as gospel: make a copy, THEN change
your recipe. It can be fairly difficult to figure out what's going on
when a recipe fails spectacularly. If you've a backup, you can avoid
that problem.

installing error
hi, While installing the "base system" in Debian, I get the error message, file:/instmnt/pool/main/a/apt/apt_0.5.4_1386.deb was corrupt. Couldn't download apt. Please tell me what is to be done. I want to use dual boot with Win xp thanks Ron

Answering my own e-mail here, I ran this by a buddy, and he scratched his head, said dunno, and that it still sounded like a permissions problem. Grasping at straws, I decided what the heck, just chmod 666 all the sound stuff in /dev. Wouldn't you know, it worked. Don't know why, and having 666 permissions on anything bugs me, but the box is behind a firewall, and we're only talking soundcards here...

I need help with my touch pad.
Greetings, I have just installed "Sarge" on my Toshiba notebook A15-S157. I believe this notebook has a ALPS Glidepad. I would like to disable touch pad "clicking". From what I can tell, this can do this by using tpconfig. I have installed this package tpconfig (3.1.3-5) from debian. I can not seem to get this working. When I run dpkg-reconfigure tpconfig and set the options = --tapmode=0 and restart my system tapping in still working. I have also tried running the below script as a replacement to the tpconfig script and get the "Command found and failed" at start up. I do not understand why this script is even needed. Why does dpkg-reconfigure tpconfig not work? If the script is needed what am I doing wrong? I need some help on this.

Well, looks like it's NOT a process, but rather a kernel thread. Looking at the PPID, it is either launched by init, or (much more likely) an orphan child of an insmod. (Actually there is another possibily - youre system ran out of RAM and swapped the entire process out. But the fact that it ate a SIGKILL makes me think it's a kernel thread.) Looking at the kernel source, it was spawned by your Adaptec AIC7xxx driver. If you don't HAVE an Adaptec AIC7xxx, try rmmod'ing it. If you, try rmmod'ing it. (if you have one an can't remove the driver, you might need to get a different SCSI card.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Nope. Just wrote a tiny unoptimizable program (true clone), compile for
