I would take a chance with the installer. Even though ATI says that thay 
support only Redhat and Suse, the installer might allow you to install 
the files in a place of your chosing (I suggest /usr/local/lib/ati).


Or you could use rpm2cpio (in the "rpm" package) to manually extract the 
files from the .rpm on ATI's web site. Then you should be able to look 
in the directory structure that rpm2cpio created and find the required 
drivers (and other files).


But before you download the software, make sure your system meets the 
minimum requirements:

https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.23.7.html#172686

Traditionally, to load a module you use insmod:
# insmod ./some-module.o

But I've never loaded proprietary, pre-compiled modules before. Perhaps 
there is a different procedure for that.

Re: Free VMware beta server experience

[Klaus Pieper]

You need to get 3 files: the beta server, the management interface, and 
the server console interface.


You only need the server if you connect locally. The management 
interface is used for remote startup/shutdown, the console interface for 
remote connect.


That does not *seem* to be necessary. But for safety's sake I back up 
before the install.




The installation does not touch your existing configuration and anything 
is removed cleanly with the uninstall script.

But what happens in a corporate setting with more than 1 subnet, one 
having a good firewall that only lets in filtered email, and one thats 
relatively wide open, and both thru the same switch?  I don't think 
you'd want a savvy user switching the machine from one subnet to the 
other and allowing in a boatload of viri or porn.  The viri is a huge 
PITA to clean up, the porn OTOH, is a huge legal liability in many 
locales.

IMO ifconfig is a system function, and the normal user has no need for 
access to it, none, nada, zip.  As the admin, the admin should be 
responsible for that, with those configs locked down for normal users.

Heck, I'm using two subnets here at home with only 3 machines, just for 
that exact reason, seperation of responsibilities.  Call me paranoid, 
but I intend to keep it that way.

That's ridiculous.  If adding ifconfig to your users' PATH is a security

amd64: needed packages for ati drivers

[Toshiro]

Anybody know which packages should I need to install  to be able to use the 
ati drivers? I'm trying to use the ati installer 
(ati-driver-installer-8.23.7-x86_64.run) in sid and I'm always getting 
errors; I suspect I'm missing some packages.

Thanks in advance.

I have a silly question though, why does the user need access to 
ifconfig?  If the admin is doing his job, it seems that the network 
paths the user might need should be properly setup, and Joe SixPack 
shouldn't have, nor need access to ifconfig.  Giving everybody access 
to ifconfig and its ilk sure sounds like a big security hole to me.

updating drivers for an ATI card

[[od] eeman]

Hi all, I have installed Debian several times in a row trying to get the xwindow system to work. It tried many different things like:aptitude install xdebconfigurator
aptitude install x-window-systemapt-get -f install x-window-system
(and of course) startxI would either get an error saying directory does not exist (or something along the lines) dependency errors of modules I could not have installed in the first place because of my debian dvd. Anyway, after I finally figured out that my debian dvd was bad, I downloaded the ISO (via jigdo) again and installed it using my video card that is integrated into my motherboard. Its a generic nvidia card. Anyway, using this card I was able to get xwindow running fine and dandy. However, I reinstalled my better video card (its a genuine ATI X800XL for the record) and while trying to run xwindow, it would give me errors saying that it was unable to autodetect my video card and various other things. IT has become clear now that the reason why xwindow was not running was because of my video card. I found on ATI's site a Linux driver update.( 
Clicky clicky ) however it only says it's "stable" with Redhat and something else.

apply the first three rules on the mail server.

drop the fourth rule from your (home?) linux box. if you apply the first three 
rules to the mail server, the whole thing should work without the fourth 
rule. the fourth rule is a hack to make it work when the firewall on the 
other end drops icmp 3/4 messages. or you can leave it in... shouldn't really 
hurt.

full explanation follows:

ok, what you want to do is basically repeat the ping process but from the 
opposite end.

now, you want your mail server getting the icmp 3/4 replies from your DSL 
providers router.

in the diagram below:


A  B -X-[cloud]- C --- D


let's say A is a client on your internal network. B the linux box where you 
have the iptables, C is the firewall protecting your mail server. and D is 
your mail server. note that A and B can be the same machine (the first three 
rules will have removed the distinction for our purposes.) and C and D can 
also be on the same machine... X is the other point in your dsl line (some 
router owned by your DSL provider).

any how, what needs to happen is that when you ping with a packet size of 1500 
from D to B (remember to subtract 28; just do what you did before but from 
the opposite end), you should get an icmp 3/4 from X to C, and C needs to let 
it thru to D. apply the first three rules to let icmp 3/4 thru in C. and ping 
again from D and see if you get "frag needed" messages back to D. if you do 
get the messages, you're done. if not, you'll need the clamp-mss rule since 
someone else is the PMTU black hole and you can't do anything about it.

if you can get the icmp reply thru from X to C to D, you can discard the 
"clamp-mss" rule in B. or leave it in. because the whole purpose was to let D 
know that the link between B and X is 1492. you can let that be known by B 
initiating the connection with a suggestion to D on how big the reply should 
be. Or, you can let D find out about the 1492 link between B and X via the 
normal process of PM

amd64 is just the name of the architecture.  Similarly, if you have an

My last go around with the network issue was:

: don't know about the issue of it conflicting with the firewire
controller though. If one or both of them is a card then you could try
moving them to another slot. Or is there something on the firewire
that is getting an eth assignment?

Hi, not sure about psc1402, but for my psc2175 I use vuescan, very nice
and many options for scanning and output format.
  


hi,

got the last package of vuescan from a hamrick-site (.tgz). (thanks!!) 
put it in my home_file and *untarred* it. it should work for the 1400 
hp series ( i controlled that), but on my machine (sarge, 2.6.8-2-386 
standard kernel) it says :"there is no scan-device on this machine"


i am confused.

anybody knows how this can happen?


No, I was following the advice in Hill, Harris, and Vyas,  Debian 
GNU/Linux 3.1 Bible, (Indianapolis, Indiana), (c) 2005, pp. 236-238.


I don't know if my later kernel is a factor or not.




thanks,

steef

Has ntp-server been withdrawn from Etch?

I'm setting up a Dell server with Etch-AMD64 and I can't find any of the
ntp family of packages.  Neither ntp-server, ntp-simple, nor ntpd seem
to be available.  openntpd is available, and that's what I currently
have installed, but I'm not too thrilled with it, and I'd rather have
ntp back.

Is there some problem with ntp-server?

My Sarge machine still has ntp-server available to it.

No, the d-link has it's own firewall stuff. It connects directly to the
network line, in place of a modem. (Since this fiber optic service does
not have a "modem"). 

I tried disabling iptables on the firewall to see if I still had the
same problem, except I do not have a way of downloading e-mail on the
firewall. And since iptables was no longer doing NAT, I could not do
anything web related from my client machines. :-)

I also upgraded from a 2.4.24-2-586tsc kernel to a 2.6.8-2-386 kernel
tonight to see if it would help anything. It did not seem to have any
affect on the problem.

Thanks,
Jacob

With a line of 
pty "/usr/sbin/pppoe -I eth0 -T 80 -m 1412"
and 
mtu 1492
ifconfig ppp0 still shows an MTU of 1492. Though I'm guessing that's
what it should be showing, based on Anoop's reply, below. Eth0 (the
interface that pppoe runs on) of course has an MTU of 1500. If I'm
misunderstanding though, feel free to tell me. :-)

That's weird.  I can't find a kernel in the archive with that name.  It
should have the architecture listed in it somewhere.

Not really.  amd64 just means it's a 64 bit x86 architecture, since AMD beat
Intel to the punch.  So, for example, a Pentium 4 with EM64T would identify
itself in the same way.  Do your processors contain EM64T extensions?

If you've got a 32 bit subsystem, I would think this package would install. 
However, I've never messed with a 64 bit system, so I don't know exactly
how it works.  In any case, first verify that you've got a 64 bit or 32 bit
processor.

Hi Jude,
this is the 3rd installation error you posted. if may be worthwhile to
google through the debian-boot mailing list and/or subscribe/post a

of Debian. use 'site:list.debian.org' with your google search to get

Why does dpkg think my pentium computer is an AMD?

[Peter Stoddard]

Hi folks

I am running sarge and kernel 2.6.14.3-smp on a box with a pentium 4 dual core 
processor.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/$ uname -a
Linux paris 2.6.14.3-smp #1 SMP Fri Dec 9 13:21:36 CST 2005 x86_64 GNU/Linux

But dpkg thinks its an amd:

paris:/usr/share# dpkg --print-installation-architecture
amd64

paris:/usr/share# dpkg --print-architecture
amd64

I recently downloaded pine_4.64_i386.deb from 
http://www.washington.edu/pine/getpine/linux.html
and when I tried to instal it I got the following error:

###

paris:/home/peter/Downloads# dpkg -i pine_4.64_i386.deb
dpkg: error processing pine_4.64_i386.deb (--install):
 package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 pine_4.64_i386.deb

###

Someone else installed this os, and I don't know how they got dpkg to think it 
was an amd system.  Is there any way to get it dpkg to report the proper 
architecture so I can install the pine package?

Re: bootloaders selecting wrong video adapter [was: GRUB doesn't come up in new installation]

[Levi Waldron]

Out of necessity to have a working system ASAP, I installed Ubuntu
which has the same problem, but does all the installation from the
blue screen which I can see.  Now when I boot up, the screen goes
blank when GRUB should appear, and stays blank until the graphical
part of the boot-up.  I will try sumo wrestler's suggestions now in my
spare time (rather than out of desperation) and post any solution I
come up with, and file a report on debian-boot.  The trial and error
is a bit time-consuming since I have to go through the initial stages
of the install up to the point of reboot to know if it worked or not.

The same problem occurs with the Etch beta 2 business-card ISO.  It
goes further before rebooting, but then the same thing happens.

The general recipe, not only for ez-ipupdate, is to use the program (as
root):

# dpkg-reconfigure -plow 

The "-plow" actually happens to be the default and, thus, it is not
strictly necessary.


Hope this helps, Rogério.

I guess you have to uninstall the package, purge the configuration files
and then reinstall it.

Might be quicker to check out /etc/ez-ipupdate/ and delete the generated

Re: gnome menu update

[Mirco Piccin]

Hi. Sometime new installed program does not create its own icon in menu.
I've recently discover that you can create a new file in
/usr/share/applications/
(i.e. /usr/share/applications/application_name.desktop)
where define name, exec, type, category and icon.
You can look at another file in the same directory to understand.

In my experience i can say also that with gnome 1.x if you launch
"update-menu", it replicates same menu entries. It does not work well
(not test in gnome 2 which i'm now running).

The better way i think is create yourself the file .desktop
in /usr/shaere/applications/.

How do I restart the ez-ipupdate wizard?

[Tyson Varosyan]

When you load the ez-ipupdate program for the first time, there is a very
nifty wizard that comes up and lets you configure a damon that keeps your
DNS updated. I think I made a typo in the config file and its not working.
How do I get that wizard to start again?

I tried removing and installing the program, but that does not seem to do
the trick... HELP

occasionally bypassing ISP's transparent proxy

[Dan Jacobson]

I just want to sometimes get around my ISP's transparent proxy which
intercepts all port 80 traffic to anywhere, as sometimes it has too
old caches. Mostly very fast, but sometimes one wants a second view
without its help.

Do I need to install and learn e.g., "tor",
or is there some proxy someone can tell me about, where I could do e.g.,
http_proxy=http://1.2.3.4:5678/ wget --spider -d http://URL_I_want
to e.g., see the headers of that URL despite my ISP's proxy?

RE: How do I make my NIC pick the same ETH port every time?

[Oliver Jato]

i think this could be done with udev rules, though i only used them to
always have the same device aliases for my external fw disks.

here you'll find out how to write udev rules:
http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html

and this is a snippet i found on a web site:

# cat /etc/udev/network.rules
KERNEL=”eth*”, SYSFS{address}=”xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:x1″, NAME=”lan1″
KERNEL=”eth*”, SYSFS{address}=”xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:x2″, NAME=”lan2″
KERNEL=”eth*”, SYSFS{address}=”xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:x3″, NAME=”wlan1″

Hi steef,
I had a psc1315 working ok with hplip and hpijs. Do you have the hpijs 
package installed? See this:


[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache show hplip
Package: hplip

...(snip)...

.
You will need the hpijs package to have a working Unix printing solution.
.
 Homepage: http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net





as far as i know is hpijs kind of *built in* in hplip: hplip is a 
follow-up for hpijs.

RE: How do I make my NIC pick the same ETH port every time?

[Tyson Varosyan]

Hi Matt,

Sounds like a good plan. I do not use DHCP and having the NIC built into the
kernel sounds swell. However, I am very new to debian - is there any chance
I could get a step-by step procedure for this? It would take me a week to
figure out otherwise. 

I already have modconf installed, which I think is the program I would use
to do that, but past that, I am lost...

what i would do if i had this problems is make the NIC are firewire card
load as modules then i can put a wait between them, e.g. i would load the
NIC when everything is booting and put a sleep and load the firewire
modules

.. or you could build the NIC into the kernel and load the firewire as
modules.

just make sure they always get loaded in the same order with a good time
gab between them.

also i would make sure the nic interface is up apon system boot, if you
are using dhcp this might be a problem if your not connected to the
network at boot.

posts to l.d.* never make it to the list.  They're silently dropped.
Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Postgresql 8.1.3 Debian installation encoding question

[Joost Kraaijeveld]

Hi,

I was forced to reinstall PostgreSQL 8.1.3 on my Debian machine, using
the deb installation files. I used to have UTF8 or LATIN1 encoding  for
the postgres, template0 and template1 databases (can't remember which
one I actualy had :-( ).  But after my reinstallation I suddenly had
SQL_ASII as (default) encoding. 

How can I change that? Why did the Debian encoding change? Can I still
use the Debian deb files or must I manually initdb PostgreSQL?

TIA

Joost

OK you guys, chill out. This is getting boring. If you look at all the 
postings in this thread, the only thing suggested which does what you asked, 
minus the GUI, is trickle. Someone could probably write a pretty front end 
for trickle, but it seems to do what you want, ie. allow per application 
control of bandwidth utilisation.

No, no need to do anything. I use cups for printing, or just the command

I think the scanner is initializied when starting vuescan (it sounds like
that).
The printer is normally connected to another debian box that acts as a
server, printing with samba from linux and windoze clients. Just
connect/reconnect between the two machines when I need the scanner on my
desktop.

No, but I wasn't asking for an exact match.  That was a strawman Tony set
up.  I asked for a tool that was *like* it.  I even described the tool, it set
limits on applications.  Traffic Shaping, as I have pointed out several times,
does not limit applications.  So how, then, is it even *like* netlimiter?  A
comparison would be someone asking for Office and being pointed to EMACS and
not even XEMACS.

it's not a recipe for failure for asking. but it certainly becomes one when

MSOffice. and Evolution for MSOutlook.

is openoffice.org *EXACTLY* like MS Office?

i can come up with a set of criteria where OO.o would not be as EXACT a

"free blocks count wrong" in sarge

[Carlos Rodrigues]

Hi!

I have a server running Debian Sarge (kernel 2.6.8). When I reboot it
and run a "fsck.ext3 -f" (with all of them unmounted) on the three
partitions that is has, occasionally it reports some errors about "free
blocks count wrong on group #X".

When it happens, it is always in the same partition (which contains the
user's homes), which is being shared by NFS.

Has anybody ever seen something like this?

The problem is only that if your new kernel doesn't work, you won't have
the old, known-working kernel around to fall back on.  Actually, this
isn't so bad; it rarely happens, and you can always boot from CD to fix
the problem.  But, of course, that is a hassle; better to keep the old
kernel around.

That will keep you safe.  However, the better approach is to use a
different name for your custom-built kernel than the official Debian
one uses.  This will allow you to keep both kernels installed, and
also may save you some headache later on.  This can be done with the
--append-to-version option to make-kpkg.

In the manage profiles / certificate/PSK area, can you check the option

Your best bet here is to install the kernel documentation package.  There,
you'll find a description of all the modules and what they're supposed to
do.  Many are support for specific hardware.  If you know you don't have
that hardware, you can remove that module.

Without consulting the documentation, you could always modprobe -r each
module that isn't referred to by another module.  If it removes, then it
wasn't being used.  If it is being used, you won't be able to remove it. 
Note, however, as Sumo points out, some modules may not be presently used,
but will be needed at specific times (especially the ppp modules).  So just
be aware that when programs that used to work fail for bizarre reasons, it
may just be that you removed a module it depends on.

According to the information I found, you are correct.

I believe this is a SATA controller chipset.  This is where your problem
begins.  Luckily, it can be solved, since SATA includes backward
compatibility with PATA.  You just have to enable it.

Do you find that you need to stop the printing service before a scan? I haven't 
tried mine in a while because it used to lock itself up. I recently read that 
/etc/init.d/hplip stop (or whatever its called) before scanning was required.

Hi,

then recognized by the awakening system and... it is shutting down...
is this standard behaviour? 


I had the same problem on my laptop. I made a small change to
/etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh, adding the following line right after the comment
section:

[ -e /tmp/powerbtn_flag_hibernate ] && rm -f /tmp/powerbtn_flag_hibernate && 
exit 0

(I have posted the whole script to http://pastebin.com/621675 to avoid
ambiguities due to line wrapping in emails; the addition is on line
number 6.)

The additional line checks if the file /tmp/powerbtn_flag_hibernate
exists; if it does exist then the file is deleted and the script will
exit without shutting down the computer. Otherwise it will work as before.

Now all you have to do before you suspend to ram is "touch
/tmp/powerbtn_flag_hibernate" to generate this file. I have included
this command in etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf (package "hibernate") and
now my laptop wakes up without problems when I press the power button.

And I suppose you also need the tool to be running so you can manage the

smb4k can't umount a share anymore in sid

[Richard]

Hi ... it seems that smb4k also try to use the --cifs option for
umounting a share. But when i try to umount it gives me an error
telling me this option is not supported by umount ... the details of
the error which occurs is:

 /bin/umount: unrecognized option `--cifs'
Usage: umount [-hV]
umount -a [-f] [-r] [-n] [-v] [-t vfstypes] [-O opts]
umount [-f] [-r] [-n] [-v] special | node...

Do i just have to wait for a next update? Or is there a workaround in
some smb4k configuration file? ... i already can manualy umount the
share but would like to use smb4k also to umount.

For this purpose, many DSL modems/routers have a
configuration option which enables you to define traffic
by port which should be forwarded to a specific machine
inside your network. Thus you could set one box up for
web serving and another for secure shell access.
 

On my Westell DSL Modem/Router the option seems to be found under 
"Configuration/Service Configuration".

I've been performing some manual testing of the snmp commands and seen
some logging.   Now that I have snmplogd running and sysklogd running
with "-r", will the logs automatically start to pick up incoming and
outgoing traffic and their associated ports, or do I need to put a
special periodic query for that?  If yes for the special periodic
query, how?

Thanks again.

I think what you're referring to is 'snmptrapd', which is installed on 
some systems already but apparently not enabled by default.  If logging 
is enabled in the router, then this utility will capture that logging 
output to a file in /var/log/snmptrapd.log.  It was part of the rh7.3 
install that I use for a firewall, and all I had to do was start it. As 
it logs the src and dest address and port #'s of all traffic, it will 
generate a sizable log if you are running a BT client.  This info, in 
my case from a BEFSR41, contains a lot of what I'd call extrainious 
information IMNSHO, easily quadrupling the size of the log.

You'll also need to figure out a way to incorporate the log rotation 
tasks for it.

Problem with acpi

[Matthias Pfeifer]

Hi,
i have acpid-1.0.4 (the standard testing version) and acpitool 0.4.0.
when i do a "acpitool -s" the system suspends (to ram). The only way
to wake it up seems to be to press the powerbutton. However this is
then recognized by the awakening system and... it is shutting down...
is this standard behaviour?

Hi steef,
I had a psc1315 working ok with hplip and hpijs. Do you have the hpijs 
package installed? See this:

You will need the hpijs package to have a working Unix printing solution.

Whereever you like as long as you change the configuration file to point
to it.  However, somewhere in /var/www/ is customary in my experience.

You should be able to.  Give it a try.  The worst that could happen is
that it doesn't work which is what would happen if you didn't try.  :)

If you specify "stable", though, the always changing system really moves 
hardly-at-all most of the time, and then has huge, stability-destroying 
quantum leaps avery few years.

Hi Jesus,

how are you connected to the internet? If it is 
by DSL, you probably are connecting through the
DSL modem which acts as a router. That means that 
actually your router gets assigned the DYNDNS name
you chose, as this is the IP that is seen from outside.
The router then forwards any packets from the internet
to the respective machines on your (private) network.
Now, if a machine makes a request to your router, e.g.
fetch a webpage, your router does not have have any
way to resolve which is the destination of the request.

For this purpose, many DSL modems/routers have a
configuration option which enables you to define traffic
by port which should be forwarded to a specific machine
inside your network. Thus you could set one box up for
web serving and another for secure shell access.

On the other hand, if you have a modem connection, DYNDNS
should be set up for using your web server directly.
That leaves us with: do you have a firewall installed,
and if yes, how did you configure it?

Re: Free VMware beta server experience

Hi,

VMware has a beta server that is free to test.
http://www.vmware.com/download/server//

I found the experience frustrating and quit:


I did *not* quit




1. I run the 2.6.16-ck1 kernel and the vmware-configure.pl module ran 
into problems doing an address space size test, I had to fix the code.


2. The login to their site is ridiculous. You have to fill in a form 
every time you login, even after registration.


Still strange. I ended up with various emails containing serial numbers 
because every time you enter their download page you get one.


You need to get 3 files: the beta server, the management interface, and 
the server console interface.


I found the best way to download (I am on a dialup line) the latter 2 is 
to google for the files and use www.filemirrors.com




3. Documentation is poor. Never found a good description of their 
networking interfaces and never found out where to get the VMware 
Management Interface or VMware Server Console Interface.




Wrong. The beta server comes with a load of docs.



4. Search options to their forum are poor: you wade through tons of 
you-know-what.


5. The network installation creamed Sarge and I could no longer dial in. 
Luckily I do good backups and I backed up to yesterday.




That does not *seem* to be necessary. But for safety's sake I back up 
before the install.


And I reinstalled using only NAT networking, but we'll see if I can 
dialup with that.






If I were tempted by closed source code besides nVidia, it would be 
VMware. But I wait this one out a few years ;-)




Doing it right now.

Created a VM for Debian Linux.
Booted Sarge's d-i.
Installs OK. Used Grub on the entire virtual disk.
Stay tuned.

The first time you post to linux.debian.user, you should get an email
