The idea is to get a realtime email alert. one can get any and all kinds of alerts till you're blue ( satisfied ) - just write it the way you like The problem is that method I proposed, using hosts.deny, doesn't cover all cases, no matter how much code I write.

Before suggesting that I skimmed over the ssh/sshd manpages to see if they supported an automatic email alert option. ssh did mention an option for supplying a users email address, but I didn't find out what its used for. At first I thought the best way to do this is in a network monitoring tools, but I don't know whether such tools would normally detect an application-level event like a failed login attempt.

Re: Command line reference
The suggestions provided by others already are great and I don't mean to beat a dead horse. If you really want a straight up list for *your* system, just `ls' /sbin, /bin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/bin. Then you can pop open man as something in the list interests you. Secondly, as has been mentioned already, a Unix reference will likely be of help. It won't cover package management or configuring hardware, because that is vendor and architecture specific. Still, there is a lot to chew on. Even old Unix books that you can get at used book stores or the library are a fun read. I have one published in 1982 and the first commands it mentions are `ed' and `troff'. Just about everything in a book published 25 years ago is applicable to Debian. You'll gain exposure to technologies that have gone out of favor like UUCP.

Building backports and local repositories
I'm wanting to install a few backports and want to verify that I'm not about to hose any of my system. I'm running Sarge... The particular packages is the Postgresql set of packages. I wanted to go to 8.0.3 and installed the packages from Testing a few weeks ago. Now, there are updates, but now they depend on the Testing libc6 (and Perl5.8, which have now parted from Stable), and don't want to mess with libc6, but would like to have the updates, so what I did was: download the postgres 8.0.3 diff file and the original postgres 8.0.3 source and began compiling. One thing I had to do was that in order to get an error-free compile, I had to install two libraries I compiled from this source, since the current packages depend upon libc6, however, I don't see any problem here: >From libecpg5: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ldd /usr/lib/libecpg.so.5.0 libpgtypes.so.2 => /usr/lib/libpgtypes.so.2 (0x4001a000) ^^^ - had to install libpgtypes2 and recompile libpq.so.4 => /usr/lib/libpq.so.4 (0x40029000) ^^ - already installed - remainder are from "standard" sources libssl.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/i586/libssl.so.0.9.7 (0x40046000) libcrypto.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/i586/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 (0x40073000) libkrb5.so.3 => /usr/lib/libkrb5.so.3 (0x40161000) libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x401c9000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x401f6000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x40218000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40269000) libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x4039c000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x403af000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x403c4000) libk5crypto.so.3 => /usr/lib/libk5crypto.so.3 (0x403c7000) libcom_err.so.2 => /lib/libcom_err.so.2 (0x403ea000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x8000) >From libpgtypes2: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ldd /usr/lib/libpgtypes.so.2.0 libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4001b000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4003d000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x8000) Now the question: Does the above not create a set of valid debs that I can safely install? More generally, is all that's required to produce a stock backport just to download the source, and the diff file and compile - doing whatever is required to eliminate all compile errors? One further question regarding apt. I have created a local APT repository which appears will be ready to install my new packages. However, the documentation seemed to imply that a line in /etc/apt/preferences such as: Pin: origin "" would refer to local files. However, my result seemed to be similar to that of many others from searching the archives. The only way I could get my local repository to be preferred was to put a line "Origin: Local" into my Release file and then have a line "Pin: release o=Local" in my preferences file. Not a problem, but it would have been neater IMO, if I could have used the original plan. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Command line reference
If you know what do you want to do, and think is programable, then I think your best bet is google for it, or ask on list. In many ways, one of the many purposes of the lists is to act as a very basic low-level interpreter between a user and the computer. Too much, maybe. I think that list traffic would be reduced somewhat and a user's grasp of what is available to him/her would be increased, if there was one place ( a dictionary?) that folks could go to at least learn the vocabulary of Debian that is available to them BEFORE hitting up the list experts. My question is: "Is there such a web-site?" No. Even if such a website exists, it will be out of date very soon and requires heavy maintenance. The closest solution to your problem would be the wiki - http://wiki.debian.org/ . If you want to see such a thing, just write it up there and it will pick up if there is sufficient interest. There's a huge, in the thousands, of comand line programs on any linux installation, and most people dont know how to use them all, if any, Wouldn't it be nice if there was a place where ALL the commands are available to peruse either before a command is needed or when a command is needed? It would be real nice and I was looking for that one once upon a time. I think there is a book called Debian bible (not sure about the name) - It probably lists most of the commands. raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi Graduate Student, MAE Cornell University http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Audio player error (amarok)
When I use XMMS's ALSA driver, I get a message that says: "Couldn't open audio. Please check that: your soundcard is configured properly, you have the correct output plugin selected, and no other program is blocking the soundcard." ...when attempting to playback. Amarok has several engines to use: GStreamer, aRts, and xine. GStreamer does nothing but generate errors. aRts and xine appear to work (it ACTS like it is playing), but there is no SOUND coming out. I have no idea why. When the sound stops coming out on playback with those programs, Noatun will not allow any sound to be produced either.

As you pointed out yourself, you may not have 3312 on your system. I tried this on several systems, with varying numbers of packages installed, including my business server, where I have as little as possible installed above a base install of Mepis (soon to be a Sarge minimal install), and got something like 2300 or more. While there are "base" commands, like ls, rm, mv, cat, and the like, trying to get a full list would be like herding cats. You can always list the main directories, like /bin and /usr/bin and see what files are there, then use man to read up on them. I do something like that every now and then to explore and find new languages and programs I never knew about. While it's not Debian, after I set up my Father's system (running Mepis), he found a "Unix for Dummies" book -- I think this one was a spiral or plastic loop bound version that was a "quick reference" version -- and that has a list of many of the more frequently used commands.

Most commands are not Debian or Redhat specific, and are not even Linux specific. They come from a long UNIX tradition, and they comply with a standard called POSIX. But commands specific to a particular format of software packages are often specific to a particular distribution. 2. Debian has quite good documentation available at http://www.debian.org/doc/ I particularly recommend the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), which is available at http://www.debian.org/doc/devel-manuals#policy This document tells where, on the file system, each kind of file is to be placed, and why. It helps a lot in learning how to find things. Throughout the Debian documentation you will find that where Debian differs from the 'other' distribution there is often a specific recognition of the difference and an explanation for choosing the Debian way. If you like dead trees, you can print these docs. Read these docs. You will see better why you like Debian. The way something is done is not just the first idea that came into some geek's slightly twisted mind.

That's why you could tell lilo to put the master boot record on a floppy. (preferably do it twice so you have two boot floppies, just in case). Then put the floppies in a safe place, and install Windows. You'll still be able to boot Linux from floppies, and can relilo to your heart's content until you get it to boot both Linux and Windows. Do your experimintation with the MBR's of various floppy disk until you get it right.

I have bokmarked it, though, for future reference. What I'm looking for is a site that simply lists the Debian commands that are available.

Re: Command line reference
Good afternoon! Any unix, linux book will give you a good hint on posibilities. Many linux books have discussions of rpm related stuff, fewer discuss apt..just to pick on two obvious distinctions. Right now, I'm a Debian guy. I'm studying Debian Linux. For now, I'm only interested in Debian commands. If you need a comprehensive list of manuals, man pages is the closest one, i think You are correct. However, to search the man pages means that you already know the command to start with. What I'd like to do is to be able to say something like this "Hey, why is my drive/sound card/video card doing this?", then find a site that lists the commands that are drive-/sound card-/video card-related so that I can decide what might be run from the CLI to diagnose/fix/optimize/etc. A (poor) analogy follows: You go to Mexico/China/Portugal. You are leaving the departures lounge. A local says something to you. Seriously, are you going to grab a fellow traveller and demand a translation...each and every time a local says something to you? Of course not. You'll whip out a dictionary and grunt through what the local chap is trying to say and what you'll say in return. Only when that fails will you consider grabbing an expert to explain the nuances of the conversation. Much more efficient and much less time consuming than having the entire departure lounge chanting back at you "No, "clear" will clear your screen, "cls" won't. At least, not in this country." If you know what do you want to do, and think is programable, then I think your best bet is google for it, or ask on list. In many ways, one of the many purposes of the lists is to act as a very basic low-level interpreter between a user and the computer. Too much, maybe. I think that list traffic would be reduced somewhat and a user's grasp of what is available to him/her would be increased, if there was one place ( a dictionary?) that folks could go to at least learn the vocabulary of Debian that is available to them BEFORE hitting up the list experts. My question is: "Is there such a web-site?" There's a huge, in the thousands, of comand line programs on any linux installation, and most people dont know how to use them all, if any, Wouldn't it be nice if there was a place where ALL the commands are available to peruse either before a command is needed or when a command is needed? so it's better to know a command when you need it, than diving in the man pages with the hope of learning how to work CLI. That's right. But a newb can't "know" and understand a command if he/she doesn't know it exists. And no one can dive into the man pages without knowing what they are looking for in the first place.

You need to append resume=/dev/your_swap_partition to kernel command line. Then you suspend by echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk; echo disk > /sys/power/state ... Hi! AFAIK There are 3 versions of hibernation code. Two that are part of the official kernel and one that need a patch (suspend2). This latter is more advanced and should perform better but is being actively developed and changes frequently. The two versions included in the official 2.6.x kernel are Pavel's swsusp and Patrick Mochel's PM suspend. You have to check which one is compiled in your kernel. Each one has it's own starting command. So I just did that: echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk; echo disk > /sys/power/state It stops, i.e suspends the system. Very quick. Pop goes the speaker and power goes off. Leaves the external modem connected. Then what. I have no option but hitting the power on button and selected the lilo image where I had added "resume/dev/hda13", my swap device. AFAIK, we have to wait for improvements on the ACPI side in order to have a wake-on-lid kind of resume. That's where things went wrong: it just booted and of course found bad disks etc. rebooted itself and I had to clean things up. Did you reinstalled lilo after changing it?? Is your "resume=/dev/..." well written? It should work. There is however the possibility that your harddrive cache was not written to the disk Some drives have this kind of problem.. You can use hdparm to disable the cache before the suspend command and reenable if after. The hibernate script (hibernate package) handles these matters and others that arise when using suspension, like the error in the clock (after resuming, the system clock is at the time when it was suspended. You have to syncronise it with the hardware clock). It can be customized to the 3 versions of suspension code and to suspen-to-ram also. May be somebody else has used 2.6.12 with suspend successfully. I added the suspend option with the already existeing boot parms. Maybe that is wrong, who knows.

Building Tuxmath with KDevelop
First of all, please let me know if another list would be better. I'm using Sid and want to modify TuxMath to make it more configurable for my young daughter. My programming skills are clearly in the amateur level, but over the last several years I have written some things for BeOS and more recently KDE/Qt to keep myself amused (a MineSweeper clone, a Tetris clone, a chess GUI-frontend, and the like). I know C and C++ syntax and basic programming OK, but unless I have an IDE that "just works", the building part is a dark art to me. I am using the KDevelop in Sid (3.2.2). I installed the source package for TuxMath using the source option for apt-get, and also grabbed libsdl-dev. I tried the "Import Existing Project" option in KDevelop. When I try to build the project, it fails (see below). I think the problem may be that I need to tell it where to find the SDL libs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: WiFi Problems (It doesn't work properly)
OK, and your directly connected computer is working?
The central computer is connected to the same wireless router / modem which the laptop is connected to. It works nicely.
Is it running Linux orWindows?
Windows XP Pro.
If it's working, we know that DHCP is working properly on the DSLrouter, and it's correct that it should appear as the DNS IP.

There are 2 kernel functions to "hibernate or sleep", if by that you mean *suspend*, or power the computer off while saving the state it was in. There is the *suspend* kernel option: CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND=y You can check in your /boot/config if you have the option. Secondly there is suspend2, which is a patch to the kernel, which you discovered. It fiddles with keyboard.c to make things look pretty, but I don't know its trackrecord.

You are likly getting back a line from ps -ef that is infact the process of the grep looking for sshd. I had a similar problem like this once.

AANTAL=`ps -ef | /bin/grep '/usr/sbin/sshd' | /bin/grep -v grep | /usr/bin/wc -l` .. and it will stop the grep from appearing.

Re: Command line reference
Any unix, linux book will give you a good hint on posibilities. If you need a comprehensive list of manuals, man pages is the closest one, i think If you know what do you want to do, and think is programable, then I think your best bet is google for it, or ask on list. There's a huge, in the thousands, of comand line programs on any linux installation, and most people dont know how to use them all, if any, so it's better to know a command when you need it, than diving in the man pages with the hope of learning how to work CLI. my opinion.

But when I call the script from crontab it ALWAYS sends me an email, in other words, $AANTAL is always greater than 0. When I echo the value of $AANTAL I see that running from crontab it is always 1, running the script interactive it is always 0 (if sshd is not active) Why is there a difference between interactive and cron?

This is not a rantI love the number of commands in Linux and the control that they can give. But I'd like to see, ideally in one place, ALL the Debian commands. Then instead of asking someone on the list (bless ya, guys and girls) how I can to XYZ via ABC given that LMN are doing a QRS, I could peruse this one place and then toddle off to the man pages (or google or whereever) to get the syntax and nitty-gritty. And then if all goes fubar I could ask for help :) Is there such a site? FWIW, googling "Debian command line reference" gave no hits. Googling "Linux command line reference" gave some 1160 inlcuding this one: http://mygamecompany.com/Linux/Commandline/linuxcommandline.htm, but how much is Debian?

RE: shared Debian hosting
Well I do know for a fact as a user they ( http://www.activewebhosting.com ) do not support CVS repositories - cvs or svn is not even installed on there server - or direct ssh access currently, although it does support everything else you listed (and more, they even support guile via cgi)and the lack of SSH and CVS/SVN support may change in the future depending on actual interest. If enough people contact them about it, it may be possible to change there mind. Most companies do not like giving out shell accounts due to MS FUD, unfortunately. But if you want a linux only webhosting plan, check out the above link and as them for the "linux only plan" to show your support for linux since its not something they advertise openly.

I looked at their site, but didn't seem very much in the way of technical specifications. I'm looking for a fairly hard-core hosting plan -- ssh access, CVS, full Perl/ CGI/ MySQL production environment, etc.. It would be nice if I could get this in a shared plan, but realistically I'll probably have to go to a VPS, rented server, or collocation. I cross-posted to the Debian user list because I'm curious if the Debian project and/or community has concerns over the use of the "Debian" name -- e.g. debianhosting.com, etc..

Getting dependencies for programs.
Dear list, My situation is as follows: I have a very fast 'net connection here, with a local Debian mirror with all i386 binary packages. A few months back, I used jigdo to get the first three Sarge images, and took them and installed them to another place, where I didn't have a fast net connection. Now, I want to take a few packages there through some portable media (pen drive), and I'd like to make sure that I take along with me all the dependencies. For example, if I need python2.3-scipy, is it enough to take all packages listed by apt-cache show python2.3-scipy? I mean, does having the right versions of these satisfy all dependencies? Thanks.

[snip]
I have a similar problem here, and sysfs won't help. My
/proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info file is empty (contains the "drive name:"...
entries, but w/o a value). Also my /sys/bus/ide/devices/ dir is empty.
I am running Debian Etch with kernel 2.6.12-1-686-smp (on a P4 with
HT), udev 0.070-2.
If I boot under 2.4.27-2-686-smp (w/o udev, of course), the /dev/hdc
device is created, and I can mount a CD just fine. With 2.6.12, not
even dmesg acknowlegdes the presence of the CD drive, no /dev entry is
created, and no info appears in /sys (I mean, regarding the CD drive).
Maybe, just maybe, it has something to do with module ide-detect?
Kernel 2.4 has it, but not 2.6. Somewhere I read to add "ide-generic"
to /etc/modules, in place of "ide-detect" (which would only make the
system complain everytime I booted into 2.6, anyway), and it didn't
help.
Another idea is: does it have anything to do with the fact that 2.4
sees my SATA drive as IDE, and 2.6 sees it as SCSI? Maybe 2.6 doesn't
find IDE drives, and doesn't load some modules which are later needed
for the CD? I seem to be seeing them loaded, however:
#>lsmod | grep ide
ide_cd 43748 0
cdrom 41088 1 ide_cd
ide_disk 19104 0
ide_generic 1376 0 [permanent]
ide_core 132352 4 ide_cd,ide_disk,ide_generic,usb_storage
I have to add that I disabled hotplug on boot (after doing a "lsmod |
awk '{print $1}' >> /etc/modules"), because it made the computer take
forever (over 15m!!) to boot. Now, w/o hotplug, it is much faster, but
still very slow. And before anyone jumps on me, the problem was there
when I was running hotplug...
Can someone help?

I have experienced the same thing, and since I couldn't find any solution to the problem I simply uninstalled it. I found a couple of people on Google that had the same problem but nothing more. I know a couple of packages that recommended famd becuase it is a more efficient way to listen for file changes than polling the files over and over again. But as far as I know it should work fine without famd too.

Re: Brain transplant for Debian testing box.
Depending on how you configured your custom kernel, it may well work just fine with your new board and CPU. I haven't done this, but if I were in your situation (and my kernel didn't like my new MB), the first thing I would try is installing a standard kernel image. The install CD for testing comes with a rescue option; I think you just type "rescue" instead of "linux". The options are detailed in the boot options documentation on the CD (hit F1, F2, etc. at the boot prompt). Mount / and chroot into it. Mount other necessary filesystems like /usr and /var. "aptitude install kernel-image-2.6-686" or whatever is appropriate. Make sure your boot loader is configured to use your new kernel and reboot. I haven't used this process, but it seems like it should work. Once you have a standard kernel image working, you can compile your custom kernel. -Jeff On Mon, 2005-10-10 at 09:15 -0700, Scott Denlinger wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm running Debian testing, and my processor recently died.

Brain transplant for Debian testing box.
Hi all, I'm running Debian testing, and my processor recently died. I used this as an opportunity to upgrade my processor and system board, and now I need to figure out how to use my old hard drives, which contain a perfectly functional Debian testing system, with my new board and processor. Basically, my question is whether I can use my current partititions and data, and just compile a new kernel to match my new system's hardware configuration. The system board, processor, and several peripherals no longer match exactly, so I definitely need a new kernel. I thought I might be able to boot into something like Knoppix, let Knoppix tell me what *it's* using for modules, then use that info. to compile my new kernel, but I'm not sure how I can do that from Knoppix, and I've not come across anything on the web which describes how this would work. Can I recompile a kernel just by mounting the root and boot partitions Knoppix recognizes and then compile a new kernel using Knoppix's sudo? Would anything I compile in this scenario boot properly when I'm done and no longer want to boot Knoppix? Or, are there some basic parameters I can pass on the command line as my OLD kernel (custom 2.6.4) starts to boot (I use LILO) that would drop me into a basic single user shell from which I could recompile? I would have to pass in enough info. to get it to deal with my new Pentium 4 processor--the old one was a K7 Athlon. The worst-case scenario is that I could just wipe out my current disk configuration and reinstall completely, since I've got my critical data backed up, but I'm intrigued by the challenge of getting a new kernel to work with the setup I have.

It seems to get updates now and then so can spot most spiders etc. As another poster hinted at it can be a bit of a pig to set up. The setup file is huge and fairly complex having said that though, once you have a configuration you like on one site it's simply a matter of copy and paste for the other sites.

Any ideas? i just took an old keyboard apart. the green board was quite small, about 2 inches by 3 inches. then i wrapped the green board with the rest of the keyboard cable and tied it up. now this thing just hangs off the back of my computer. it keeps it off the floor, and there are no actual keys upon which to step or set something on. if i were going to get any fancier, i would just get a better computer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

amd64 install bug
Hello, i've discovered a bug in debian-pure64 instalation http://amd64.debian.net/ Once you're asked for LILO mbr instalation a link /vmlinuz -> /boot/vmlinuz... is missing. So i used the second console to create the link. After 1/4 hour searching i didn't understand how to report this bug officialy and i even't don't know if amd64 is an official part of debian. http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting says: If you can't seem to determine which package contains the problem, please send e-mail to the Debian user mailing list asking for advice.
