Yes. It will work.

In the rare case that it does not work, copy the /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or 
XF86Config-4) of knoppix to that of Debian installation and you should 
be all set.

I posted a lot of links. But I am assuming you are talking about the 
"FAQ on Choosing a Debian distribution". I am glad you found it useful.


Before answering your question, I would like to suggest you not to top 
post on this list. Bottom posting with irrelevant parts removed is 
preferred as it helps to read and grasp the whole thread. More 
information on debian-user guidelines can be found at


http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/du-guidelines.html

Now onto your question. Debian supports a lot of architectures. alpha, 
arm, hppa, i386 etc are all the names of architectures that Debian 
supports. You should download the image that corresponds to your 
processor's architecture. For example, if you have a Pentium/centrino 
processors, choose i386. If you have a 64 bit processor, choose ia64 
etc., So if you can tell us info about your processor, we can tell you 
which file you should download.


My guess is that Dell uses an intel processor and so you should go with 
i386. But without knowing the processor's info, we cannot be 100% sure.


Dual booting is of no problem in any case.


Please Bear with me who is indeed totally new to Debian.


Everyone is a newbie once (I know I was)! We always like to have new 
users. New users are essential for the growth of Debian!

I wouldn't want to leave it in that state.

Probably the most reliable way to fix it would be to apt-get --reinstall
every package. Maybe like this:

apt-get --reinstall install `dpkg --get-selections | awk '{print $1}'`

A less bandwidth-wasteful way of doing it would be to figure out which
packages had files in /bin and only reinstall those. You can find this
out by looking at the *.list files in /var/lib/dpkg/info/

Cheers,

Paul.

How to restore /bin?

[John O'Hagan]

Hi,

In an unfortunate (beer-related) incident, I rm'ed /boot and /bin from my etch 
laptop. I had /boot backed up, but not /bin, so I copied that from an oldish 
Mepis CD. 

To my surprise, most things seem to be working; but I'm wondering if I can 
expect problems, and if there's a way of restoring /bin to the correct state 
for an up-to-date testing system?

Thanks,

John

Re: Re: Need help recovering Debian that won't boot.

[Craig Puetz]

Check the startup messages (page up on the initial screen if you can) and 
verify that /usr is mounting correctly. I recently had a similar problem on a 
machine that had /usr installed in a partition separate from /. Without /usr 
mounted, the machine could not find grep/egrep, which breaks some important 
part of the boot process, leading to an error that sound similar to yours. If 
there is a problem with /usr; fixing that, perhaps using Knoppix, might 
restore your system to operation.

 
   Greetings.
 
I have a Debian server that does not complete its boot ... early on, it
display a Copyright notice for grep, then for egrep, then for grep
again, then for egrep again, then hangs  I've booted the computer
 
from a Knoppix CD and can see all the files, I just can't get it to boot. 

I also tried to run fsck from Knoppix but, whether from my fault or
otherwise, that didn't solve the problem.  At this point, I'm getting a
little desperate.

Any and all ideas GREATLY appreciated.

Did you make any changes to the system recently? Many years ago I got into a

 As I was fairly new to the whole Linux thing back then, the easiest for me

Works good for me.  The only issue I had was one with a 2.6.12 kernel,
and an interrupt timing problem due to the dual core.  It was fixed in
a later kernel, 2.6.15 is what I use now and it's perfectly fine.

Hello William.

I am afraid this is getting a bit beyond me. I did a Google search for
your error

authentication token lock busy error

It seems to be something to do with PAM, possibly because root (/) is
mounted read-only.


The token lock is normally used to make sure that only one processes
writes to the password file at a time. Otherwise it might end up in an
inconsistent state which could screw up the whole system. After using
the init=/bin/bash trick, however, it is indeed just a symptom of not
being able to write to the root partition. I tried it again with my
laptop and I get the same error unless I issue the two mount commands
first. Maybe it will clear things up if William tries it again and tells
us what messages he gets when he attempts to remount /. Maybe he just
made a simple typo during his first attempt, like overlooking the "/" at
the end of the command or mixing it up with a "\".


I don't know how it got into this state. Did you install from official
CD/DVDs? If you used Knoppix or some other live CD, these can cause
problems when used as installers. Is your hardware OK? Sometimes, you
get strange effects when memory starts to fail. Memtest would show this up.

It may be quicker in the long run to re-install. Use the step-by-step
guide at 
http://newbiedoc.berlios.de/wiki/Installing_Debian_on_a_small_partition

to help you make sensible choices. If you still get problems, I would
look for a hardware fault.


Or try to set an empty root password with Knoppix:

1) Boot Knoppix.

2) Right-click on the desktop icon for the root partition and mount it
with write access.

3) Open a terminal and cd to the mount point of the root partition. I
think this might be /mnt/hda1 or /media/hda1, but it has been a while
since I used Knoppix. This can be checked with the "mount" command which
lists all mounted devices and their mount points. I will assume it is
/mnt/hda1 for what follows.

4) Now, start an editor (e.g. vim or joe, as explained on the NewbieDOC
website) to change /mnt/hda1/etc/shadow. You need to find the line for root:

root:XX:12667:0:9:7:::

The colons ":" are the field separators. The first field is the user
name and the second field, where I put the Xs, holds the password hash.
The rest should not be changed (and will probably look different from my
example). If the second field is empty the user can log in without a
password. So in my case I would change the above line to

root::12667:0:9:7:::

and save the file.

4a) If there is no /mnt/hda1/etc/shadow file then this editing has to be
done in /mnt/hda1/etc/password. The line will look a bit different, but
also here the second field has to be emptied without changing any of the
others. (Not having /etc/shadow is a security risk, but that would
probably be something to worry about later.)

5) Quit Knoppix and reboot normally from the harddrive. root can log on
without a password and set a new one with the "passwd" command.

It's pretty simple to handle multiple subdirectories.  Here's a
makefile stub for gmake:

DIRS := mylib myapp

.PHONY : $(DIRS)

default : $(DIRS)

$(DIRS) :
$(MAKE) -C $@

Obviously, you'd want to replace "mylib" and "myapp".  This also
assumes that you have makefiles in the subdirectories, since for
compiling multiple libraries or applications that's generally easier
than trying to make one big makefile for everything.  That's not to
say it can't be done, though.  You'd probably want something like

$(MYLIBSRCS) := $(wildcard mylib/*.c)
$(MYLIBOBJS) := $(patsubst %.c,libmylib.a(%.o),$(MYLIBSRCS))

.PHONY : mylib

mylib : $(MYLIBOBJS)

I'm not sure if this will actually work properly, since I haven't
tested it.  It'll also tend to make your makefile more difficult to
read and maintain.

IMHO ThinkPads are just the best laptops you can get, period.  That might
change in the future, though.  And the ammount of support you get from the
thinkpad-linux user base is enourmous.  Look at http://thinkwiki.org, and
the mailing-list archives.

Well, I'd say paying the price of XP in a **new** ThinkPad is actually worth
it right now.  Reduce the footprint of that crap on disk to the bare
minimum, and you will have a "thinkpad maintenance OS" which you can use to
automatically find and apply all the system updates from IBM, plus access
some maintenance/management features of either the Thinkpad or IBM/Lenovo's
site that are not available from Linux yet, unfortunately.

if your drive belongs to a known bad batch. That might also make a
difference for warranty replacement.


Is it possible to set it to a higher loglevel, so it hints a bit of why
it remounted readonly?


It might be more informative to access the drive's self-diagnosis system
directly. You can do this with the tools provided in the package
"smartmontools". This also includes a daemon which can check the
drive(s) in regular intervals and send you an email when trouble is
brewing. This will in most cases give you a warning long before you
reach the critical state that you seem to be in now. Really, before you
do anything else, boot from a rescue CD, mount the HD read-only and
clone it to another drive. The next write access could be the one which
kills the drive and takes all your data with it.

look for laptops with intel ipw 2200 (B/G) or 2915 (A/B/G). they are
both well supported.

I'm coming into this thread late, so I apologize if we've already been
here, done that...

A couple of items to check:
  0) If you generate a postscript file and then view it with gv (or ggv)
 are the margins correct, or is the text shoved up to 0,0?
  1) For CUPS: default paper size for your printer is 'letter', not 'A4'...
  - hit the 'Configure Printer' button on your printer's CUPS page
Typically at 
  2) In general: default paper size is 'letter', not 'A4'...
  - check '/etc/papersize'
  - and/or 'dpkg --reconfigure libpaper1' (for sid distribution)
  3) Try deleting and re-adding your printer to CUPS.  Under certain
 conditions upgrading CUPS backend software (ie.
 cupsys-driver-gutenprint or equiv) can screw things up.
  - make sure you're using the right PPD/driver for your printer,
sometimes "close enough" isn't...

If you do not buy a new centrino II laptop i it often no problem using

Wifi is also no problem.

No problem with centrino laptops. I had a celeron laptop with an strange

It you buy over 50 pieces of a Thinkpad you can choise the OS. But i do
not believe that you can buy a lapton in a store without windows xp.
For a company i order some Laptops with are build especialy for them and
for this Laptop i had to buy Windows XP. But i do not know how this
boxes work with Linux. But Thinkpad are great laptops. I will never buy
an other one

Perhaps you can build your one laptop using barbones. They are companies
which make this for you. I only know a company in Germany which make
this. And i think that you can find out how this one work under linux

Lincoln Durey at EmperorLinux wrote a fun little "open letter to laptop 
manufacturers" in an issue of Linux Journal (I forget which) basically 
making this case.  "Let me buy a laptop without an OS pre-installed -- 
we'll both make money!"


I don't know of any manufacturers doing this.

I'm very happy with Debian Linux (testing) on my Dell Latitude D800.  
Nearly everything works as it should (definitely everything I care 
about).  I did replace the internal wireless card with a prism54 card 
because I had some doubt that the driver was working properly.  The 
prism54 is rock solid now.


I also know that the Thinkpads are great little Linux machines also -- 
my last employer let me install Linux on one for my job -- all the while 
betting that I'd get frustrated attempting to do Java development in 
their environment outside of Windows.  Then was pleasantly surprised 
when I had everything working within a week or so!


Thanks,

If you want Debian, it is best to install Debian right in the beginning.

The placement of various files follow something called FHS (File

To change the root password as Florian described, you need physical
access to the machine, which most attackers lack.

If you are concerned, you can set a password in lilo or grub.



Indeed, it is impossible to defend against someone with physical access
to the machine. You can make it more difficult by setting a bootloader
password and disabling booting from CDROM etc. in the BIOS (which should
then be password-protected as well). However, a determined attacker with
full physical access can always take out the harddrive and analyze it
elsewhere.

The next level would be to encrypt your home directory and maybe also
the root and swap partition to protect sensitive data. I seem to
remember reading somewhere that this will become an option in one of the
next versions of the Debian installer.

Finally, if you are worried about a determined attacker who might get
physical access to the person who knows the passwords and encryption
passphrases, then you need encryption with built-in deniability
(steganography).

And maybe a cyanide capsule. This tape will self-destruct in five
seconds. Good luck, Jim.

(All joking aside, steganographic filesystems are important, for example
for human rights organizations working in countries with oppressive
regimes.)

Well, that is pretty comprehensive! Thanks for all the info. I'll

Just some random thoughts:
The equivalent for Debian is found in /etc/inetd.conf.
You did install ssh? 'apt-get install ssh'. If yes, did you enable
the ssh server, sshd? 'dpkg-reconfigure ssh'.
Do you have nmap on the other machine? What does a port scan say?
What makes me a bit clueless is the fact that you say you can't 
ping the debian machine; without any firewalls between the machines,
this should be always possible...for me that would point to a hardware
problem. However you say that outward connections are ok; are you
running a firewall on one of the machines?

Thank you for your response. I installed Debian without the Ethernet

My problem now is after installing Debian for the first time, I was



asked to



write a user name, a user account name, login name and password.



When I boot



the system, I am ask to login. I typed what I think is the login



name and



password I registered with, but I get an "invalid" response. I am



unable to

login



those user names I always use, and I only have one(1) password I



used every



time.







Can you tell me how to bypass login name and password to enter Debian.











If you still know your root password (the first password that you were



asked to set during installation), you can use the user name "root" and



that password to log in. The root user can change all the other users'



passwords by using the command "passwd username". You can also create



new users with the command "adduser". The root account itself should not



be used for normal work.







If you have forgotten your root password you can break into your



computer the following way (assuming you have the GRUB bootloader):







1) Boot the computer, but stop it immediately at the blue GRUB screen,



for example by pressing the up/down cursor keys. Depending on your setup



you might have an entry for your normal kernel which will be called



something like "Debian GNU/Linux ..." and an entry called "memtest". Use



the up/down cursor keys to select the "Debian GNU/Linux ..." entry and



press "e" to edit it. Select the line which starts with "kernel"



(up/down again) and press "e" once more. You will see the line with some



parameters and a blinking cursor at the end. Add the following text to



the end of this line: "single init=/bin/bash" (without the quotation



marks). Make sure that there is a space between the original text and



your addition. Press  when you are done and then "b" to boot.







2) If step 1 was successful your computer will boot to the root prompt



without asking for any password. Now run the following two commands:







mount -n -o remount,rw /







mount -avt nonfs,noproc,nosmbfs







(This will make the system files accessible.)







3) Use the "passwd" command to set a new root password. You will be



asked to type it twice without any characters showing on the screen.







4) Use the command "reboot" to restart your computer normally.



Afterwards you can log in as root with the new password and make all



necessary changes to get your normal account accessible again.







Regards,



Florian

It seems to be something to do with PAM, possibly because root (/) is

I don't know how it got into this state. Did you install from official

this works well on low resource boxes. The DSL people do more than just 
use light apps, they config the apps to use fewer resources so you can't 
duplicate it by installing  Debian and the same Debian ver of the apps.

Debian will in fact run on such a system.  I've just finishing buying and
setting one up myself, and am putting the finishing touching on my new
Debian installation.

Like you I've been using Debian for years, and am happy with it.  For many
packages I was able just to copy over the relevant files from old /etc to
new /etc, and they're ready to go.

remounted read-only

[Eric Persson]

Hi,

I have a server that repeatedly remounts its / harddisk  readonly, 
probably caused by the errors=remount-ro in fstab. I read the following 
about it on the web:


"Specifies that if errors are found when the filesystem is checked, the 
filesystem will be remounted in read-only mode so that the system 
administrator can analyze the errors without risking further damage."


I usually do a fsck -c which says it recovers the journal(ext3) and 
modifies the filesystem. After this I reboot and the problem goes away 
for a while.


But what does the text above imply with "can analyze the errors without 
risking further damage", what can I do to prevent this totally?

Is it a sign of starting to failing harddrives or what might be the cause?

Thanks in advance,
Eric

[Steve Juranich]

I'm looking at getting a new rig, and I've decided that what I *really* want
is one of those new Athlon64 X2's (cue Homer S. gargling noise).

Since I've been a happy Debian user for over 5 years now, I'd like to stick
with what I know.  But from looking at the web site, I haven't found any
definitive proof that Debian is compatible with such a system.

Can anybody out there tell me if Debian will, in fact, run on such a system. 
And, if so, are there any special caveats or workarounds that I should be
awaree of?

Thanks a bunch.

strange bluetooth pairing woes

[Oliver Jato]

hi,

i'm having some weird troubles pairing my mobile phone with my pc.
bluetooth is up and running, i'm already using skype with a bluetooth
headset (bound with btsco on login) and i can also transfer files to my
phone with obexftp and transfer files from my phone to the pc. 
my phone's mac is bound automatically when bluetooth starts up
to /dev/rfcomm0. /dev/rfcomm is perm 660 with group dialout and i am
part of this group.
this is what works: i remove the paired device entry on my phone, remove
the paired device entry in /val/lib/bluetooth/.../linkkeys and
restart /etc/init.d/bluetooth. then i start kmobiletools and my phone
asks if i want to add my pc and asks for the pin. i click ok and my pc
asks for the same pin. then kmobiletools works, i also sent a sms to
myself to test it. when i close kmobiletools and open it again it claims
there was an error initializing the device, just if i had not paired
them or chose the wrong device. the mac of my phone and the
authentication string were succesfully added
to /var/lib/bluetooth/.../linkkeys.
obex file transfer showed me the same behaviour. when removing the
pairing before i could read the root directory of my phone but when
trying to get a level deeper or read the root directory again i get an
error. 
since today i cannot browse bluetooth devices in konqueror because of
bluetooth:/ not being a valid protocol. i don't know how this happend,
it worked yesterday. but that should not be the point here since the
shown behaviour was the same.
i'm using all this stuff on sid with gnome. i created a
symlink /etc/bluetooth/link_key -> /var/lib/bluetooth/.../linkkeys so i
could watch the paired devices in the paired devices manager of
kbluetoothd. and i also wonder why the addresses listed by the manager
do not match my devices addresses, wich are the phone, the headset and
the bt usb dongle (dbt-120). maybe they mean something else, i just
don't know. some config info follows below.

help appreciated,

"c" usually means a package has been installed and removed but not 
purged. "ci" means that the package has been configured and is marked 
for installation. "A" means that the package is marked to be 
automatically installed; it will be removed if no other packages depend 
on it, but that shouldn't happen with locales.

What packages depend on base-config?  The description says it can be 
removed once your system is installed.  (I'm using Ubuntu Breezy, and 
the locales package here does not show a conflict or dependency with 
base-config).

I don't intend to flame anybody's favourite OS or distribution, but
before you go for Mepis read this

Why not go for Debian itself (speaks the man who's currently using

just a thought... maybe the "Computer" icon is automatically created, much like

arbitrarily chooses a location based on the default grid? Just a hunch as I 
dumped gnome for IceWM a while back and don't really remember.

VSFTP refuses Windows connections

[Anthony Simonelli]

I am running VSFTP as an inetd service on my LAN.  I want to allow everyone on 
the LAN to access this server but it only seems to work on the local computer 
with either ftp://localhost or ftp://192.168.1.101 (my local IP address).  I 
have a Windows XP machine and am trying to connect to the FTP server using 
Windows Explorer but I get a message saying:

"Connection with the server was reset"

Using Nmap on the Windows XP PC, I see that port 21 is open on the PC with 
VSFTP.  I've disabled the McAfee Privacy Manager software thinking it had 
something to do with it blocking the connection since it meant exposing my 
email address when logging on anonymously but that didn't help.  The 
following is my /etc/vsftpd.conf file:

listen=NO
anonymous_enable=YES
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
ascii_download_enable=YES
secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd
pam_service_name=vsftpd
rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/vsftpd.pem

Any ideas why I cannot connect?  Am I missing something in my config file?

Cannot connect to Debian Server over network

[Pabla,Balbir [Ontario]]

Title: Cannot connect to Debian Server over network







I am in process of setting up Dell 2800 server with Debian 3.1, 2.4 smp kernel.

I can ping/telnet/ftp out, but from other machine I cannot  connect to to this server using ping, telnet/ftp.

Any body can help, how these services are set in Debian. I have more experience in RH environment.

What are the deamons name to turn on these services?

I don't see the directory in Debian as it is in RH /etc/xinetd.d  etc..


Any site, having solutions to server setup and these kind of problems will be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Re: kanotix HD installation

[Anthony Simonelli]

If you must use a Debian-based GNU/Linux then you should try Mepis 
(www.mepis.org).  You should give MepisLite a try since it seems to work the 
best on old and new hardware and is very close to a Desktop installation of 
Debian Sarge, the stable release of Debian.  It even uses Debian repositories 
for it's programs.  There are some user-friendly features too for configuring 
your network settings (wireless too).  You can purchase a copy for $15.00 
which is very reasonable, but that isn't a requirement.

I bought the book "Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 Bible.  It helped out a lot by 
covering a lot of different topics, including installing Debian Sarge (which 
really isn't hard at all) as well as many other Open Source projects like 
Apache, Exim4, etc...

Welcome to Linux

I'm not sure about Kanotix, but the Knoppix developers (Kanotix is Knoppix 
based) do NOT recommend the hdd install. That distro is meant to run from 
CD/DVD and it does that very well. A beginners Debian would rather be Ubuntu 
(or Kubuntu, if you prefere KDE). Also very easy to use IMHO (list readers 
please don't flame me for this) is Xandros, but not so free as Debian or 
(K)Ubuntu.

A good start about Debian is this 
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-basic_defs.en.html
Because we are talking Debian based distros, much of that will apply to the 
others as well.

Also, if you decide to go with one of the derivatives, you are much better 
served to ask on their mailing lists/forums as they will have more experience 
which such specific questions as the hdd install.

Thanks for the info on TLS, since I didn't know any of that.  So 
basically, any info on port 443 that looks encrypted should get by, 
right?  I didn't realize that and it will make it a lot simpler.  The 
only trouble with ssh is that it requires cygwin, and I need to make 
this as small a footprint as possible.  It seems like almost all cool 
tools on Windows need cygwin!

muhahaha... 



HTTPS, eh? excellent.


try running ssh on port 443 at home and then try ssh-ing from work. the nice 
thing about HTTPS is that it's not a TLS type thing where you start off 
unencrypted and then do an encryption handshake. therefore, there shouldn't 
be *any* unencrypted data flowing back and fourth that the firewall can look 
at. the encrypted exchange is designed to stop man-in-the-middle. that takes 
the firewall out of the picture since it has nothing in the data flow that it 
can look at and go, "yes, it is indeed HTTPS". it's just relying on the port 
being 443. so any protocol should work as long as the port is 443.

Just to let you know, I did the upgrade on the past weekend, and it went 
flawless and much better than I thought.


The renewed server's running without problems since yesterday evening, 
and no problems came up yet. Performance seems to have increased.


The seen-states of the mail remained intact, despite the upgrading 
documentation says that you can't keep them. I just didn't delete the

I wish to thank the developers! This is all great software!

is mounted.


I'd say that it *should* fail then :)


By the way, if the re-read fails, you can always umount and then run
"sfdisk -R" (or cfdisk and hit W) to try it again.  The sfdisk man page
recommends running this before changing your partitions, so you know
whether it will succeed afterwards.  Good idea!


Ah, that's something to check out. I've never used sfdisk yet.

The BUGS section of the manpage of fdisk has some quite noteworthy hints:


"There  are several *fdisk programs around.  Each has its problems and 
strengths.  Try them in the order cfdisk, fdisk, sfdisk.  (Indeed, 
cfdisk is a beautiful program that has strict requirements on the 
partition tables it accepts, and produces high quality partition tables. 
Use it  if  you  can.


fdisk is a buggy program that does fuzzy things - usually it happens to 
produce reasonable results. Its single advantage is that it has some 
support for BSD disk labels and other non-DOS partition tables.  Avoid 
it if you can.  sfdisk is for hackers only - the user interface is 
terrible,  but  it is more correct than fdisk and more powerful than 
both fdisk and cfdisk.  Moreover, it can be used noninteractively.)"



When the manpage of a program tells you that the program is buggy and 
that you should not use it, that should tell you something :)

What I had to do after an upgrade from Sarge to Sid is re-install the
locales package (it was removed, and installing it conflicted with
base-config, but who cares?) then if the message from perl persists
re-run dpkg-reconfigure locales until /etc/environment looks good.

For me the following is good:

 % cat /etc/environment
 LANGUAGE="en_GB:en_US:en_GB:en"
 
 LANG=en_GB.UTF-8

I /believe/ it is ... in aptitude, "locales" is highlighted green, is

upgrade sid now firefox no longer prints. dialog button "the paper size is not supported by your printer"

[Mitchell Laks]

Hi,

I have been using the xprint system for printing from firefox cause it seemed 
to work better than cups when printing from firefox. i have both cups and 
xprint installed.

i updated my sid installation lately. Now I seem not to be seeing the usual 
xprt type stuff in the printing dialog box - only cups printers but the type  
of printer it says is 

hp-us-government-letter (203x253 mm) which seems to be something new instead 
of just plain letter

i have a standard postscript hp laster jet 1200 printer

what is the meaning of the dialog window i now get 

there was a problem printing because the paper size you specified is not 
supported by your printer?

mucked-up locale settings in testing

[Glenn Becker]

OK, it seems the time has come for me to confront one of those topics I've 
never bothered with: locales. The reason is that it seems I have some 
fouled up locale settings (I don't know how) and that this is preventing 
my system from updating.


The system is an all-testing one, on a Dell laptop (Inspiron 4100). I have 
five other operating systems functioning ok-to-great on this box. Also, 
FWIW I am back using Debian after a few years' absence.


In my use of aptitude over the past couple of weeks, it downloads packages 
and then kicks out for the install, and I get a number of occurrences 
of this:


perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "en_US:en_GB:en",
LC_ALL = (unset),

locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or 
directory

locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

Obviously, LC_ALL needs to be set and isn't ...

... then more badness sets in with this:

.../kdemultimedia-kio-plugins_4%3a3.5.1-1_i386.deb) ...

... which is immediately followed by a number of occurrences of this:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of kget:
 kget depends on kdelibs4c2a (>= 4:3.5.1-1); however:
  Package kdelibs4c2a is not installed.
 kget depends on libqt3-mt (>= 3:3.3.5); however:
  Package libqt3-mt is not installed.

... and then a long list of KDE packages that could not be installed. Now, 
when this first happened I thought "ah, it's testing and it will 
eventually clear up," but this hasn't happened. Plus, most of the stuff 
above has the appearance -- to me anyway -- of an error cascade, with the 
locale stuff as the first snowflake in the avalanche.


I've tried locale-setting commands from Debian Reference, but I seem to be 
caught with them in a kind of Catch-22 where I can't set the locale 
because the locale isn't set correctly. I suspect this is a simple problem 
to fix (even though I don't know how it arose) ... can anyone help me 
here?


Let me know if more details are necessary and I will provide them - and 
apologies for the length of this message.

Christian,

In June of last year you said that cups was giving the error message

'StartListening: Unable to bind socket for address 7f01:631 - Cannot
assign requested address.'

I have the same problem. I could only find one reply to your question,
asking if any other process was listening to port 631. That does not
seem to be the case on my ubuntu installation and the ubuntu forum has
not come up with any answer.

Did you solve the problem and, if so, how? Printing is my final sticking

You're running i386 userspace on an x86_64 kernel.  Since that
kernel provides 32-bit binary compatibility for userspace and most
kernel interfaces, this is generally working quite well.

But there are a few points which require manual tweaking.  Iptables
is one of them.  A i386 iptables simply won't work on a x86_64
kernel, because there is no 32-bit compatibility interface for
iptables.  So all you need is a 64-bit iptables binary.

You can manually install the amd64 iptables package on Sarge with
"dpkg --force-architecture".  Also, you have to make sure that you
have a compatible 64-bit libc, for example from the amd64-libs
package.

Dennis

KPPP and PPP dial in SOLVED! ;-)

[dawizz]

Dear all,

A couple of months ago I was trying to help out my family with
a linux box and dial in connection to there ISP.

Via the mailing list a tried a number of scenario's also the very bad one's
with setting SUID bits, using chown to set root permissions etc.
By now I learned what not to do, and what to do!

At the end everything turns out to be very easy:

These where my issue's:

Had to hash out auth in file/etc/ppp/options
From here I got ip adress and connection.

And had to enter name servers of isp provider:  /etc/resolv.conf file
Now we where able to use web browser to.

That was all!

Rest was done by pppconfig, except the 2 issue's mentioned.

Now I can help out people running Linux and using dail in connections, 
Tx. all for teching me and helping me out, and on to the next one.

With regards, Willem Greveling.

Openoffice2 hinting madness

[MrVanes]

Hi,

Since OO2 2.01-5 I miss hinting in my menu fonts.
A little research revealed the following:

1. There is a patent issue with bytecode hinting in freetype
2. Openoffice normally is statically linked against it's own bytecode
disabled freetype
3. Debian uses ooo-build, that defaults to --system-freetype
4. Debian freetype lib uses bytecode hinting

So... if I add this up, I would expect freetype bytecode hinting, or at
least some sort of hinting that respects my system settings for a Debian
Openoffice2 installation. Since 2.01-5 however, none of my non-antialiased
fonts are hinted anymore (or very badly so).

Is this resolved in the upcoming 2.02 or should I file a bug about this?
Maybe it's a feature?

Hope someone can shed a little light on this madness...


Regards,
Martin

Re: Suggestion for a low memory system

[Digby Tarvin]

I don't think of 56 MB as a low memory system - although I do think
of KDE, GNOME, netscape etc as high overhead, resource hungry pieces
of software.

I have several systems for which 64MB is the *maximum* memory expansion,
with 32MB being the standard. I have some old 68k based systems
that work just fine with 4MB

My preference for window manager for people that know what they are doing
(ie don't need windows style menu bars and icons) is fvwm. It is very
lean, and produces less on-scren clutter so is good for notebooks and
pdas. The one I a typing this on is a 166Mhz Penium with 64MB ram and
a 800x480 LCd running Sarge. It can run KDE/GNOME if I need it, but
is a bit slow starting up. Runs fine with fvwm.

For work processing I use TeX/LateX + vi, which runs very well even
on 33Mhz 486's with 32MB.  Openoffice works ok on my 64MB/166Mhz
system, but again is a bit slown starting up.

For net browsing, I havn't found anything particularly lean and
efficient. Mozilla/Netscape works acceptibly.

To change the root password as Florian described, you need physical
access to the machine, which most attackers lack.

If you are concerned, you can set a password in lilo or grub.


Indeed, it is impossible to defend against someone with physical access
to the machine. You can make it more difficult by setting a bootloader
password and disabling booting from CDROM etc. in the BIOS (which should
then be password-protected as well). However, a determined attacker with
full physical access can always take out the harddrive and analyze it
elsewhere.

The next level would be to encrypt your home directory and maybe also
the root and swap partition to protect sensitive data. I seem to
remember reading somewhere that this will become an option in one of the
next versions of the Debian installer.

Finally, if you are worried about a determined attacker who might get
physical access to the person who knows the passwords and encryption
passphrases, then you need encryption with built-in deniability
(steganography).

And maybe a cyanide capsule. This tape will self-destruct in five
seconds. Good luck, Jim.

(All joking aside, steganographic filesystems are important, for example
for human rights organizations working in countries with oppressive
regimes.)
