PyKota is not known to apt because it isn't part of Debian. You can purchase Debian packages for PyKota for a small fee on a yearly subscription basis, or through Support Contracts from the author's website (see http://www.librelogiciel.com/software/PyKota/Pricing) Other people may also create Debian packages for PyKota and make them available freely or upload them to Debian, but I think nobody did recently. Also if you purchase a subscription you can redistribute the packages you'll download, but again I think nobody does... In any case, the license is the GNU GPL. I just ask that if you redistribute an Official PyKota package in a modified form, you don't label it as being "Official". bye Jerome Alet -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi Why is it if I send mail via Emacs through the sendmail device it goes to Evolution rather than Emacs mail.There may be thE odd case in which it goes to Emacs mailing devices first. Secondly why do the messages from the Evolution and Linux mailing lists arrive in the Evolution inbox and are rarely delivered to the Emacs mailing devices.

If you don't see any action beforehand from any mailserver you send a mail from (gmail in this example), you know the setup you chose isn't the issue. Now, dns is a bit more tricky.

Delay in receiving emails
Fellow debian users-- I recently setup a box to act as a mail (qmail) and DNS (bind9) server. Because I only have one external IP address, this machine is accesible through a main server by means of forwarded ports using iptables. For example, if you telnet into port 25 of my main server, you are actually opening a connection on the mail and dns server. My question is that I notice that it often takes long (15min +) to receive certain emails, and I cannot figure out why. If I send myself an email (from an external network) by a telnet SMTP session on my main server, the email appears right away. However, if I send an email to the same address using Gmail (I replicated the problem in other clients, but it happen more often with emails sent from Gmail), then it takes a while to show up. This leads me to think that it may be a DNS rather than mail problem, but I am not sure. I'd appreciate any hints or solutions and would very happily follow up with anyone who is willing to help.. martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The server OS is 2003. I should be able to make a ssh-session and locale console login with just the Windows Domain user name. At least, that was possible with my old setup. I did not even have to change /etc/pam.d/ssh, since it includes common-auth, common-account and common-session. I don't have an X-Server installed.

Re: WIFI Card DWL-G510 (Atheros chipset) installation problems
Andy, are you using testing or unstable right?

file not found - hardware, fs, or driver problem?
I've been away from this list for a while, so: hello everybody. It's nice to be back. I've installed sarge on a new box but i am getting strange 'file not found' errors. Not sure whether to suspect hardware or hardware drivers. Or something else. The setup is: cpu: AMD64 Athlon 3200+ mb: Asrock 939NF4 mem: 2GB DDR400 PC3200 hdd: 200GB SATA Maxtor 6L200M0 - which is recognised as /dev/sda opt: 16x Sony DW-Q30 DVD-RW vid: Nvidia 6600GT 256MB PCI-E There is also an old ethernet PCI card and an old SoundBlaster Live PCI Card, recycled from another box, as the onboard audio controller, ethernet port and modem, all NVidia MCP51 AC97 are invisible to Debian. The install went reasonably smoothly, once I had chanced on a hdd driver that loaded (It was not any of the drivers called 'SATA_xxx' to my surprise). The nv driver works the video card adequately, though I believe I should undertake what looks like a rather complex process to install a better proprietary driver. (I previously tried and failed to install an ATI X700, but that is another story.) The problem is that installed software sometimes refuses to run, giving 'file not found', in spite of the fact that the file in question will ls normally, permissions are ok, etc, and I can even cat the file. This happens only with certain files, for example two separate attempts to install qcad professional. Other software, loaded via normal Debian routes, runs apparently normally.

Problems installing multiple Adaptec RAID controllers with Debian 3.1
Hi List, I've got this friend who's got this problem, I'll make it as short as I can. I've installed Debian 3.1 onto a SCSI RAID5 provided by an Adaptec AIC-7899. The system boots and runs fine. I'm able to access the array via the I2O subsystem. To increase my storage capacity for a cheaper price, I'm trying to add a SATA RAID5 via an Adaptec 2410SA. After a few headaches with BIOS configuration, the system will boot with the 2410SA installed alongside the AIC-7899. So here's the problem: With the stock 2.6 kernel that came with Sarge (2.6.8-1-386) I'm able to see the SATA RAID array with the aacraid driver: Nov 8 19:18:41 venus kernel: AAC0: kernel 4.2.4 build 7348 Nov 8 19:18:41 venus kernel: AAC0: monitor 4.2.4 build 7348 Nov 8 19:18:41 venus kernel: AAC0: bios 4.2.0 build 7348 Nov 8 19:18:41 venus kernel: AAC0: serial c7d8bffafaf001 Nov 8 19:18:41 venus kernel: scsi1 : aacraid Nov 8 19:18:41 venus kernel: Vendor: ADAPTEC Model: AAR-2410SA RAID5 Rev: V1.0 Nov 8 19:18:41 venus kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Nov 8 19:18:41 venus kernel: SCSI device sdb: 1757804544 512-byte hdwr sectors (86 MB) Nov 8 19:18:41 venus kernel: sdb: Write Protect is off Nov 8 19:18:41 venus kernel: sdb: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 Nov 8 19:18:41 venus kernel: SCSI device sdb: drive cache: write through Nov 8 19:18:41 venus kernel: /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0: unknown partition table Nov 8 19:18:41 venus kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sdb at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Looks good, but fdisk doesn't like it [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdb Unable to open /dev/sdb And no amount of fiddling seems to help. A post on my local Linux users group suggested I try a newer kernel. So I did. I tried installing a 2.6.14 kernel with kernel-package, which went quite smoothly, until I tried to boot.

Not really understanding how ACPI works and what it can do/break, I tried disabling it from the GRUB command line with pci=noacpi and then with acpi=off. Both times the system hung at the same spot with (from memory) the same error. OK, can anybody suggest where I might go from here? Does anyone have experience with this hardware combination (i.e. is it possible to put an AIC-7899 and an 2410SA in the same Debian system and get them to work)? Any pointers would be great.

Re: WIFI Card DWL-G510 (Atheros chipset) installation problems
Ed, I'm basically a rank amateur at this, so not sure how much help I can offer. The wiki guide did mention that some cards require more than one file. Also, the .inf driver file might have to be unzipped. I'd double check the driver files to see if you can get rid of that error first. Maybe someone who has more experience can help. There is a troubleshooting guide in the wiki. There is also a specific ndiswrapper mailing list: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ndiswrapper-general Good luck and let me know how you get on - I'm going to be playing with my configuration more tonight.On 12/5/05, Ed Young < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:David, thanks for the pointers, but I'm still not there yet.

kernel reboot failing with MODPROBE error
First of all, is there a good Debian kernel building howto? When rebooting with a new kernel I get an error something like kernel panic MODPROBE /lib/module/2.6.8/modules.dep no such file or directory. This file exists the the above directory. I installed the debian package kernel-source-2.6.8 and bunzip'd and untarred the package. I set the sym link linux to point to the source dir. I built the kernel like this make menuconfig without selecting anything other than the default. make clean, make bzImage, make modules, make modules_install. I have two modules directories: The new one for the kernel source: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2005-12-05 10:14 2.6.8 The one from the kernel supplied by the distribution: drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2005-12-04 19:06 2.6.8-2-686 I fixed up grub menu.1st so the new kernel was selectable. When I reboot I get the kernel panic message above. What am I doing wrong and where can I look for a howto on correct debian kernel building technique? Thanks and please advise, Ed

Since then, I am not able to boot the 2.6.13.4 kernel (with udev support) anymore, more specifically, my /home parition cannot be mounted and booting stops with the message: "fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda6: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is not valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem, then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock. fsck failed. Please repair manually." No I have tried fsck -c /dev/hda6 but this device cannot be found, although it is correctly in the /proc/partitions: major minor #blocks name 3 0 39082680 hda 3 16835626 hda1 3 2 1 hda2 3 5 771088 hda5 3 6 31471303 hda6 After doing a manual mknod /dev/hda6 b 3 6 I can run fsck, but the report does not show bad block or missing inodes. Neither does the report for the /root partition. Mounting the /home from the linux 2.4.24.x kernel (with static devfs) works flawless, as does the boot from the live cd. Continuing booting with 2.6.13.4 times out after a while with some error messages on init.d/rcS script not correct. Does anyone see what is happening here ?

If your mail goes though procmail at some point, you could rewrite the

How, pray, do I ascertain whether my mail goes through the

having used them since 1985 or so, but only as a developer,
not as an administrator. So I'm weak on that score.
I have Thunderbird set to use POP to pull and SMTP to push
e-mail. So I guess that procmail is not involved. I read the
man page for procmail, but it seems to presume that the mail
is getting pulled via normal *NIX means, which I suppose that
this is not.

If you haven't set up procmail, then your mail doesn't go though a

Ok. But it wasn't a waste of time. Perhaps I shoud set up procmail.

Debian 1.1
Hi,I need the Debian 1.1.x files. I know that there exists an copy on ibiblio, but I have some problems to download the files. Is there someone who has a copy on CD (I read that iConnect has produced some Gold CDs)? It would be nice, if I could download the CD as ISO via ftp...Marc Gesendet von Yahoo!

I´m looking for suggestions, and trying to figure which one people seem to like more. Thanks! I switched from Origin to gnuplot and never regretted it. It's a bit difficult to learn at the beginning, but IMHO much more powerful in the end. Another advantage is that it is easy to semi-automate repetitive data analysis and include useful tricks from the command line. If you save your gnuplot file it's easy to track down (and archive) how the data were treated exactly. Of course having a proprietary file format, Origin should never be used for scientific applications (where you want to archive your data and analysis). xmgrace is gui like Origin, ie. faster to learn, but in the end probably not as good at archiving and/or automating your evaluations.

The word backup is more proper, as some people might respond to backup, rather than copy. You also might want to read up on the dvd backup process, most of the time it involves ripping out the vob's off the disk. Once you have the vobs, you should be able to do whatever you need to them. Even if you make a bit copy of a dvd, depending on the dvd, and the drm it might not work. After all it copied all the drm over, and is bitwise correct of the original which might or might not want you to watch the dvd on your computer. For a good source of the process you might want to check out one of the guides available on the net, at such places as doom9, others. Once you have the vobs you should be able to play them on any media, such as mplayer, and xine. Now making them play on your stand alone dvd player is another subject.

Also as noted above in this thread, you don't need mplayer to play dvd's just the special *css which can be found with the common search terms. I personally like the way Ubuntu does it, they have a big readme, and a script which downloads the codecc rather nice I think. You don't even have to change the source list file. Then again finding mplayer I really had no problems with adding the proper line to my source list file and using apt-get to get the proper files. Now getting my system to play .ts files in another thing, I just home that someone works out a better method of playback. Or it forces me to upgrade my dual 1.2 mp's to something that can handle those files. Gnu_Raiz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

If your mail goes though procmail at some point, you could rewrite the

reply-to without anyone knowing, and flaming about it.
How, pray, do I ascertain whether my mail goes through the
procmail filter? I am very acquainted with *NIX like systems,
having used them since 1985 or so, but only as a developer,
not as an administrator. So I'm weak on that score.
I have Thunderbird set to use POP to pull and SMTP to push
e-mail. So I guess that procmail is not involved. I read the
man page for procmail, but it seems to presume that the mail
is getting pulled via normal *NIX means, which I suppose that
this is not.

sarge security upgrade wedged on smsclient
I've had various problems with this upgrade in the last few days, all having to do with smsclient. Yesterday I tried again, using script to make a log so that I could report the exact messages that occurred. As usual, I used aptitude interactuively to do the routine security updates. I typed u and it downloaded the new lists of packages, as usual. U and it told me how much disk space would be involved, as usual. I have lots. I typed g and I got a list of things to be done to packages, as usual. I typed another g to start the updates. But now it's not business as usual. Instead of acomplishing anything, I get the messages > Apt errors > E: I wasn't able to locate file for the smsclient package. This might mean >you need to manually fix this package. > E: Internal error: couldn't generate list of packages to download Aptitude stops at this point. Just in case it's still busy but looking inactive (I have a slow machine), I let it go on for four hours and nothing else happens. Trying to remove it by hand (because in the last few days it had been listed as a package to be removed because nothing depended on it, I get > topoi:/home2/hendrik# apt-get remove smsclient > Reading Package Lists... Done > Building Dependency Tree... Done > E: The package smsclient needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive > for it. > topoi:/home2/hendrik# Trying to install it by hand (because in the last few days it has once mentioned to me that the package is so broken that I'll have to install it before I can remove it gives > topoi:/home2/hendrik# apt-get install smsclient > Reading Package Lists...

dvd recording, dvdcss, etc.
Hi there, I have made a copy of a dvd which is encrypted with libdvdcss. I'm pretty sure the copy (which is for research purposes) is legal under Canadian law, so please let's not get into that. I made the copy in the following way: dd if=/dev/hdd of=dvd_file.iso then dvdrecord dev=ATA:1,1,0 -dao dvd_file.iso I did md5sum checks on the original disk, the copy on my hd, and the copied disk. All come out the same. The .iso file on my computer plays fine under vlc, though I have some trouble with totem and mplayer.However, the copied dvd doesn't play back properly under any player. I find this odd since, as I said, the md5sums are all the same. When mounted as iso9660, loop, the filesystem looks identical to the one on the hard drive. I can't really figure out what I've done wrong. Are there tricks regarding css, or anything else, that might help me here? was the -dao option a possible source of error? this is the first dvd I've burned so I don't have much experience with this stuff. thanks, matt -- .''`.

Maybe an obvious question, but have you checked to make sure Debian is recognizing all of your ram properly? I have an AMD Athlon XP 2200+ (32-bit) with 1GB of ram and /proc/sys/fs/file-max shows 102249. HTH, Jacob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
