It's just a different format of how the start of your hard disk is
organized. I don't know about particular differences.

If you can't find it on google, it is probably so obscure that you won't
ever need it. Look at the article in wikipedia on partition types.

You only need a different partition type than the default, if you have
an other OS on the same hard disk that doesn't understand the default
msdos. You should check the documentation of all your other OSes to find
a partition type that is supported by all of them.

It's good to know that debian also supports obscure stuff :-)

Things could be easy for English speaking people, since UTF-8 is fully
compatible with ASCII. However, for people that do not speak English,
for example CJK people, using UTF-8 may mean not compatible with others
that use legacy character encodings.

Re: Ethernet and wireless suddenly not working on Etch

[Glen Yu]

Hi,

Nope.  If you read what I wrote, I'm writing these e-mails through my work
laptop connected to the same router.  Also mentioned previously is that I
also tried connecting the modem directly to the Thinkpad with no difference
in results.  I've tested all the ethernet jacks on the router and different
ethernet cables but the result is the same.

In addition, when I do "iwconfig", it shows all the right information:
correct ESSID, Mode, Key, Link Quality=92/92, but when I do "ifconfig", I
don't get any IP address obtained =[

When I run "dhclient eth1" (eth1 is my wireless) it says:
DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval [some number], and
after 5 retries, it finally gives a "No DHCPOFFERS received" message...

It's starting to annoy me.  I can't figure out what I did (or didn't do)
that caused this or how to fix it.


Cheers,
-Glen

Looking at the broadcast clearly that should be 169.254.180.46.  The range
from 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255 is a special non-routable range which
I believe indicates that your router is not connected to the Internet.

Try Googling 169.254.1.1

The advantages are that UTF-8 can handle all characters in Unicode,
not just ASCII. That might not be to big a deal for your situation, but
it can still be somewhat useful. For example, you might happen to
download a file with characters from outside the ASCII range.

The other advantage is that everything that isn't UTF-8 already is moving
towards it. Sooner or later you'll probably have very little choice about
using it.

I don't know of any major disadvantages, and I know of only a few minor
disadvantages such as the issue you mention below.


The only one I've hit so far is if I ssh into the box from a box that
doesn't have locales, I have to issue a LANG=C before I run mc or mutt.

Ideas?


I think you can make an entry in ~/.ssh/config to automatically pass
LANG=C to specific hosts that can't use UTF-8.

Kelly

Etch: Gnome, Hal & Iomega Clik 40

[Jacob L. Anawalt]

Hello,

I've recently acquired an Iomega Clik! 40 (aka PocketZip) PCMCIA drive
and a few disks with a slick looking silver case.

http://paulbristow.net/main/2002/02/24/clik/

If you know the device, have looked it up, or guessed the 40 means 40
Mb, you're probably thinking "what a useless device, you can pick up CF
cards with more memory from the local discount rack." I acknowledge this
and offer no rational explanation for wanting to get this to work
better. It's just something to try and an opportunity to understand hal
and other systems a little better.

When I insert the PCMCIA card it is recognized. It automatically shows
up in the Computer window next to the other devices, filesystems and
locations in the Gnome desktop. The disks are loaded by a floppy device
driver as /dev/hdc. I can mount /dev/hdc4 by hand just fine. The
automagic ends when I double-click the "External Floppy Drive" icon and
this is where I would like some help.

The attached pmount-error.txt file contains the error displayed on the
desktop when I try double-clicking the drive icon. It looks like it
isn't trying /dev/hdc4. I don't know if this is because of some "auto"
option behaving badly, or if hal isn't merging the contents of
10-ide-drives.fdi no matter where I put it (lshal seems to support this
theory.)

Does lshal include any merged information when showing it's output?

(The attached lshal.txt file shows it's output.)

At first I expected that /usr/share/hal/fdi would be iterated for .fdi
files to load. Then I wondered if I needed to copy files from there to
/etc/hal/fdi. With either lshal doesn't seem to show 4 being appended to
block.device nor is the storage.requires_eject setting set to true.

Any pointers to good documentation on hal (especially anything Debian
specific, if required) or suggestions are appreciated.

Yes, the source is available from the Sarge and Sid repositories. If you 
place suitable "deb-src" lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list, you can 
download the source this way:


apt-get source libapache2-mod-auth-mysql

That should unpack the source in a directory under the current directory 
and apply the standard Debian patch to it. You should then go into that 
directory and read the README, INSTALL and "./configure --help" data to 
find out how to configure and install your new Apache module.


However, you'll probably need to get the build dependencies before you 
build the module, and that can be trickier. Presumably, this should do it:


apt-get build-dep libapache2-mod-auth-mysql

I hope this helps you.

Internet browsing works only with the new account.
But I can browse local directories on both configurations.
So apparently something is corrupted in .kde directory...?

probably easier to jump into.  But the module will taint the kernel. 
And, if you're using unstable, the driver will require you to mess with
holds of x.org and/or use a (further) illegal hack.  Look through the
debian-user archives if that applies to you.

Well, then you should not have any problems.  MySQL and PostgreSQL can
coexist on the same machine (they use different UNIX domain sockets and
different standard TCP ports for communication).  While phppgadmin is a
separate project from phpmyadmin, I believe that one tries to stay
fairly close to the other with respect to the user interface and the
implemented features.  You should not have much trouble switching
between the two.  The command line interface is also fairly similar, but
then how different can SQL command lines be?

are there common or core files that need to be installed for pgsql? I 
was able to find the phppgadmin and php5 stuff for it, but nothing for 
the actual pgsql-common or anything like that.

Depending on how you are accustomed to working with MySQL, it should be
a cinch.  If you have used and/or like phpmyadmin, then phppgadmin is
basically the same thing.  If you are used to a GUI program running on
your local workstation (not sure what the MySQL front-ends are called),

can also access it directly with the command line client, if you prefer.

make-kpkg fails when kernel distclean clobbers ./debian

[Enrique Perez-Terron]

I have recently switched to debian, and I am trying to learn to compile kernels 
the debian way. I need a patch and an external module, so I am trying the 
following script:

M="make-kpkg \
--us --uc --initrd \
--append-to-version q4 \
--stem linux \
--added-modules madwifi \
--added-patches hda_codec.c-quique"

$M clean
$M configure kernel-image modules-image

The point is to be able to rerun the script after fixing any errors I may have 
committed.

It turns out that, when the patch has been applied, $M clean tries to unpatch 
the kernel source, but it does so only after having run "make ... distclean". 
Distclean removes the directory ./debian, which is used by the code that 
unpatches the source. Greatly simplified, the code in 
kernel-package/.../target.mk looks like:

make distclean# removes debian/rules
make -f debian/rules unpatch_now

As a result I get the following output:

...
test ! -f Makefile || \
/usr/bin/makeARCH=x86_64 distclean
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6-2.6.21'
  CLEAN   scripts/basic

  CLEAN   include/config
  CLEAN   .config include/linux/autoconf.h
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6-2.6.21'
test ! -f config.precious || mv -f config.precious .config
/usr/bin/make -f ./debian/rules unpatch_now

make[2]: ./debian/rules: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `./debian/rules'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6-2.6.21'
make[1]: *** [real_stamp_clean] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6-2.6.21'
make: *** [CLN-common] Error 2

I have found that my script works if I modify the file 

/usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/targets/target.mk

so that the unpatching happens before the distclean. 

However, I would like to ask if I am using the tools correctly. Is there any 
convenient way of upgrading the kernel within the debian framework, when I need 
both an external module, and a patch to one of the kernel source files?

In the patch below, I have also tried to conserve the apparent goal of the code 
authors, who seem to have wanted that the deletion of the debian directory be 
controlled in target.mk, and only be done under certain conditions.

Looking at the broadcast clearly that should be 169.254.180.46.  The range from 
169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255 is a special non-routable range which I believe 
indicates that your router is not connected to the Internet.

Try Googling 169.254.1.1

gpsdrive 2.09-2.2 deb package questions

[Wayne Topa]

  I have a few questions for anyone that has gpsdrive working.

1.  If you are using it with kismet, do you have wireless AP's
being added the the gpsdrive map.  Is yes, how did you get that to
work?  Where did you put the icons (because there are very few in
the .deb package) compared to the .rpm I found.

2.  Do you have the <<  >> buttons (Under the Zoom Out button) working?
They don't work here.

3.  Have you been able to get sound, festival, working with gpsdrive?
If yes, care to share how you did that.

TIA for any replies.

Udev to burn cd's

[JAMES FINSTROM]

So here is the task

A headless tower running kubuntu 7.04 containing 2 cd burners we will call a
and b.

What i need to accomplish which I imagine can be done with udev and a bash
script, is that if a user puts a blank cd in drive A udev calls a bash
script that runs:

cdrecord -v speed=40 dev=0,0,0 Iso_file_a.iso
eject cdrom0

If a blank cd is placed in drive b we call the following

cdrecord -v speed=40 dev=0,0,1 Iso_file_b.iso
eject cdrom1

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

We are using this for internal duplication of Trixbox CD's but any result of
this project could likely be adapted to a KIOSK that allows users to insert
a disk and get their choice of x number of distros...


Thanks

AGP & DRI on a Radeon Xpress 1150

[Jacob S]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Howdy List,

I'm trying to setup Debian Etch on a new Dell Inspiron 1501. X is
working great so far, except that I cannot get DRI enabled. I can
modprobe radeon and tell the xorg.conf to use the radeon driver, but
glxinfo still reports no DRI.

Looking in the xorg.log file it says screen :0 is not dri capable. So I
have tried adjusting refresh rates and resolution and everything but
still the same error message. 

Finally I realized that it is not creating a /dev/dri/card0 device. I
am assuming 'it' would be udev, in this instance, probably because
there is no '*_agp' module loaded. So I tried loading each of the *_agp
modules present in the 2.6.18-4-amd64 kernel but still
no /dev/dri/card0. I have seen others say they got DRI working on their
1501, so I am hoping someone knows what I need to do or maybe another
1501 user can share some config details with me.

Any hints or tips?

TIA & HAND,
Jacob

Create a new user account and test konqueror. Perhaps something in your 
~/.kde/ configuration directory has become corrupted.


Also tell us if you can use konqueror as a file manager to browse local 
directories--in both the old and new accounts.

No worries. I'm actually using fluxbox without a display manager, i.e.
starting it with startx after logging in. I'll check with the fluxbox
docs to see if there's anything there I can tweak.

Re: Ethernet and wireless suddenly not working on Etch

[Glen Yu]

Hi,

zeroconf wasn't installed but network-manager was, so that was removed.  I
restarted and did an "ifdown eth2" "ifup eth2", and saw that it's trying to
give me an IPv6 address instead of the usually IPv4.  I'm thinking that
might be the issue, but I wouldn't know how to correct it to get it to
obtain a regular IP again (I never was much of a network kinda guy =[ ).
I'll do some googling, but if anyone has the answers please let me know.
Thanks.

Cheers,
-Glen

Uninstall zeroconf and network-manager if you have them installed. Many
people say these packages take over their network configurations.

You can create a script that starts X for you and resets the terminal 
after X is done:


~/bin/mystartx--
#!/bin/sh
startx
consolechars -f Uni3-Terminus14
--end---

Execute it by typing "sh ~/bin/mystartx" at a console.

I'm curious. When you leave X, does the "reset" command do anything to 
help you? "Reset" is the normal way to fix terminal a display problem 
after X or a buggy ncurses program has mussed up the display.

Questions regarding apache2 authentication using either Pam or MySQL

[Eric A. Bonney]

I would like to create a directory on my web server that is password 
protected.  My initial stab at doing this was done using php 
authentication and a MySQL database.  It seems to be working just fine, 
but I got to thinking that there must be an easier method to do this 
that could be built into the server with a module.  So after some 
research I found the libapache2-mod-auth-mysql and 
libapache2-mod-auth-pam packages for Debian. 

It appears that the mysql package has not yet been brought into the etc 
repositories yet and I found a post online from back in May that someone 
was wondering if this was going to be brought in the etc repository soon 
or not.  No follow-up on the post has been given yet.


I am unclear as to how the pam based one would work.  Would I need to 
create users on my server in my normal user database in order for folks 
to authenticate against?  I have a basic understanding of how to get the 
pam based method to work, but not sure where the passwords and such are 
being stored and authenticated against.


I would much prefer to use the MySQL method and I would really prefer to 
have the authentication required at the server level and not in some php 
files.  Anyone have any ideas at this point for using the 
libapache2-mod-auth-mysql package?  Is it possible to get the source and 
compile this for my system directly?


Thanks,
-Eric

I just checked my KDE environment and it doesn't use .xinitrc either. 
Sigh ;(  I do know that .xinitrc is used by the base X11 environment, 
with the 'xinit' program, which can be used to start additional X 
servers on other virtual terminals.  But, not for starting the first X 
server from a login manager (KDM, GDM, etc., also known as Display 
Managers).


For KDE specifically, there is a program called 'startkde' which has a 
man page that mentions "At the end of a session, the scripts found in 
~/.kde/shutdown  will  be executed."


I expect there's a way to have the same happen for a Gnome environment 
but I don't have any expertise with it.


Sorry for the confusion.

Ethernet and wireless suddenly not working on Etch

[Glen Yu]

Hi everyone,

I just installed Etch on my old IBM Thinkpad X30 (P3 1.066GHz, 1GB RAM).  To
my (delightful) surprise, wireless was working right out of the box (so to
speak), and of course ethernet was working fine as well (as it was a net
install).  Anyhow, fast forward to today where suddenly, it couldn't get a
proper IP address via DHCP.  I even tried assigning a static IP to it but
that didn't help either.  I've ruled out the modem and the router as I'm
connected via the router as we speak on my work laptop and I've also tried
connecting directly from the modem to the Etch Thinkpad.

It says I'm "connected" but gives me network info of:

Driver: e100

IP 196.254.180.46
Broadcast addr: 169.254.255.255
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0


All that info doesn't make any scense as I'm connected to a router, so the
IP should be 192.168.x.x and the subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0 instead
also.

Prior to this happening I was trying to add in an init script for the Debian
package tpb (Thinkpad buttons).  I've since removed it but I still get the
same error (I get a similar error with wireless).

I've also tried re-installing, but when I get to the network portion of the
install it says something's wrong with my DHCP...

I'm kind of stuck right now and would appreciate any help or advice
concerning this.


Cheers,
-Glen

The unstated assumption in my posting was that there will be _2_ image

If there is only one backwards-compatible kernel image, then my problems
with using it to boot Sarge are a non-issue.

Hawking WE120P, 11M wireless card

[Easthope]

Debian Users,

I have a Hawking WE120P, 11M wireless card in a 
Toshiba 4000CDS with Etch and kernel 2.6.18-4-686.

I've read the pcmcia page on http://www.kernel.org/
and the howto it cites.  The latest pcmciautils is 
installed and still the card doesn't work.  lspci 
reports it but no interface is created. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks,... Peter E.

  - End forwarded message -

As far as I know, /etc/udev/rules.d/z45_persistent-net-generator.rules
is supposed to make sure that every network device has a naming rule in
/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules. Therefore it will continue
to add new rules if you comment out the existing ones without removing
the card(s) to which they belong. The fact that it seems to consider
device names in commented-out rules as occupied (if I understand you
correctly) might indeed be a bug or a deliberate design decision; I
simply don't know.

If you decide on your preferred numbering of the network devices and
make sure that every card has exactly one active rule in
z25_persistent-net.rules then you should have a stable situation. If
this is not the case you should probably file a bug report against udev.

Correct.  I did say "IIRC"--and could not find any backup when I went

Anyway, the lpadmin group bypasses any potential problems in using root
anyway, and he won't have to think twice about it later.

Bonjour à tous,

I agree that it's pretty sad. I'm not so sure about irreparable.

Sur une partition /home de 80 go, j'avais un répértoire, en l'occurence  
matroska,  dans lequel je stockais toutes mes videos avec encodage x264 
et emballage dans mkv.


Bref , ce matin je voulais redimensioner cette partition (quele idée de 
c??), et  malheuresement pour moi, j'ai dû commetre une erreur avec 
l'utilisation de gparted.


Well, the cows are already out of the barn, so to speak, but
before trying any repartitioning ALWAYS back up critical data.

Le film a eu une fin triste et desastreuse, je ne pouvais plus (lors du 
démarrage et même  manuellement) monter ma partion adorée /home  qui 
entre autres contenait ce  fameux  répertoire matroska (tant d'heures 
d'encodages et d'échauffement de la cpu, mais surtout de souvenirs 
potentiellemnt perdus à jamais).


If you wrote down the original partition table information, you *may*
be able to get everything back by putting back the way it was. I
have little hope, however, because probably the geometry (BPB) got
written in the middle of nowhere. You can likely get nearly everything
back, but not all. It depends on what got overwritten.



Le message que j'ai en essayant le montage de /home est:

__
bread: Cannot read the block (21709823): (Invalid argument).


reiserfs_open: Your partition is not big enough to contain the
filesystem of (21709823) blocks as was specified in the found super block.
Failed to open the filesystem.

If the partition table has not been changed, and the partition is
valid  and  it really  contains  a reiserfs  partition,  then the
superblock  is corrupted and you need to run this utility with
--rebuild-sb.


Nope, you've got a clobbered PT.


__

Ce serait la première fois ou je perdrais (déjà perdu?)  une partition.

Je sais qu'il y a dd_rescue et dd-rhelp, mais vu que la partion 
corrompue pèse quand 80 Go, j'aimerais bien savoir si d'autres 
diagnostic pourrait régler le problème à l'amiable .


Est-il nécessaire de passer par ddrescue, ddrhelp?


No, try to put the partitions back the way they were. Then you probably
will need to boot a rescue disc (I like Knoppix, YMMV). Using that, you
can likely pull off a copy of your critical data, possibly somewhat
damaged, possibly (if the BPB wound up in a directory) much of it gone.

Merci infiniment à toute suggéstion qui pourrait m'éviter la perte des 
données.

My Etch systems don't experiences this problem.  Just a wild guess, but
have you tried "auto eth0" instead of allow-hotplug?

What is ASSERT: "!icon.isEmpty()" ?

[Bruno Costacurta]

Hello,

my Konqueror simply cannot browse Internet (others browsers can) and all setup 
looks fine (eg. no proxy or whatelse).

Starting konqueror from a session to see what happens (by the way, an output 
debug info from konqueror is available?) I received following error:

ASSERT: "!icon.isEmpty()" 
in /tmp/buildd/kdebase-3.5.5a.dfsg.1/./libkonq/konq_pixmapprovider.cc (81)

Is this related to my non-working Konqueror ?

I have the same issue with my Acer Aspire 3690-2672 laptop.  I don't
know how to identify the rtc hardware, but the system seems similar to
yours; it's an Intel 82801G (ICH7) based system, and the lspci ISA
lines are the same as yours, except that mine's rev 02.

Anyway, there's an extensive discussion about the issue here:

secret.


HOWTO?  Anyone have a HOWTO that actually works?
You got me worried for an hour or so with this post. I've had the apache 
ssl
for etch on my todo list for a while, without having an actual need for 
it. So

I've postponed the test installation until now. I'm by no means an expert on
this, no über elite . This is just a quick writeup of what I did and what I
accomplished.

(I made a fresh xen domu with etch to do the testing, love xen)

Hostname : wwwtest.example.com
IP : 192.168.1.90

Install apache2

# aptitude install apache2

Open a browser.

http://192.168.1.90

I get the text : It works!

Then I need a certificate. I created the certificate request like this,
specifiying wwwtest.example.com as common name when prompted for it

# openssl req -new -days 365 -nodes -out wwwtest_server.pem -keyout 
private/wwwtest_server_key.pem -config /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf


Then I need the certificate signed right ? I did my own signing

# openssl ca -config /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf -out wwwtest_server_cert.pem 
-infiles wwwtest_server.pem


Now the certificate is signed, on to apache2

I made a direcorty to put the certificate and key in

# mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl

I then moved wwwtest_server_cert.pem to /etc/apache2/ssl/server.crt
and moved wwwtest_server_key.pem to /etc/apache2/ssl/server.key

Then I enabled the ssl module

# a2enmod ssl

Need to have apache listen to port 443, so added the line

Listen 443

to /etc/apache2/ports.conf

Then I edited /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
Deleted the line with NameVirtualHost, not using that now.

Changed  to 

And copied the whole VirutalHost definition , changing 
to  on the duplicated definition giving me two 
virtualhost

defintions ,


.
.



.
.


At the end of the VirtualHost definition for port 443 I entered


.
.
  SSLEngine on
  SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.crt
 SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.key


Then restart apache2. Did

netstat -tap

To verify that apache listens to port 443

# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

https://192.168.1.90/

Depending on the browser different warnings about the CA or hostname may 
pop up,

but that is no concern at the moment.

I get the text : It works!

Then just to be sure it's still working, I removed the VirtualHost *:80
definition from /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default , leaving only the
ssl virtual host. Restarted apache2 and opened the https url in the browser
again and It Works.

This was only to verify that I could do a basic install of apache2 with ssl.

Maybe this helps you.

Re: Multiple IP addresses on eth0 - which is "canonical"?

Hello,

I have the same problem on an new machine I'm putting together.
When the machine does something (like sending out email) it shows that the

Do you have an eth1 device in your computer? (This can also be a
firewire port, for example.) If you do then it is normal for udev to
choose the next free device name, i.e. eth2.

Or do you ask this question because you expected that the new card would
become eth0 automatically? (In that case I am assuming that you removed
the old card before you put in the new one.) To me it seems more
sensible that udev does not mess with existing rules - after all, the
administrator might have customized them - but that is certainly a
matter of personal taste. Keep in mind, though, that changing names of
network interfaces have been a source of problems when the system
reboots during installation, therefore it is not too surprising if udev
first and foremost tries to maintain consistency in the assignment of
device names to mac addresses.

> Is this the correct way to get my network working again?

Yes, it is. If you know that you will never use the old card again then
you can comment out or even delete the obsolete rule. It should do no
harm if you leave it in the file, though.

Check if the ntpd daemon is running!

ps -e |grep ntpd

If it isn't (I bet it isn't), you can start it simply by ntpd as root.

Are you referring to Debian packages or kernels from www.kernel.org?
The latter will publish a patch against 2.6.21 when 2.6.22 goes stable.

I save those patches to disk so it is very easy to generate a new kernel.

[urgent] partition /home en danger de mort

[bayrouni]

Bonjour à tous,

Je viens de commettre ce qui est peut-être l'irréparable et triste.

Sur une partition /home de 80 go, j'avais un répértoire, en l'occurence  
matroska,  dans lequel je stockais toutes mes videos avec encodage x264 
et emballage dans mkv.


Bref , ce matin je voulais redimensioner cette partition (quele idée de 
c??), et  malheuresement pour moi, j'ai dû commetre une erreur avec 
l'utilisation de gparted.


Le film a eu une fin triste et desastreuse, je ne pouvais plus (lors du 
démarrage et même  manuellement) monter ma partion adorée /home  qui 
entre autres contenait ce  fameux  répertoire matroska (tant d'heures 
d'encodages et d'échauffement de la cpu, mais surtout de souvenirs 
potentiellemnt perdus à jamais).


Le message que j'ai en essayant le montage de /home est:

__
bread: Cannot read the block (21709823): (Invalid argument).


reiserfs_open: Your partition is not big enough to contain the
filesystem of (21709823) blocks as was specified in the found super block.
Failed to open the filesystem.

If the partition table has not been changed, and the partition is
valid  and  it really  contains  a reiserfs  partition,  then the
superblock  is corrupted and you need to run this utility with
--rebuild-sb.
__

Ce serait la première fois ou je perdrais (déjà perdu?)  une partition.

Je sais qu'il y a dd_rescue et dd-rhelp, mais vu que la partion 
corrompue pèse quand 80 Go, j'aimerais bien savoir si d'autres 
diagnostic pourrait régler le problème à l'amiable .


Est-il nécessaire de passer par ddrescue, ddrhelp?

Merci infiniment à toute suggéstion qui pourrait m'éviter la perte des 
données.



Vu que ce n'est pas mon compte habituel depuis lequel je vous écris , 
veuillez m'excuser si le mail est mal envoyé ou formaté (html ... par ex)

stick with the default, unless you have some reason to use one of the

sharing home directories for UML's

[Benedict Verheyen]

Hi,

i currently have a setup in Debian that has about 8 vservers.
Now i want to move some vservers to UML.
I already have a kernel that supports them both and a test UML instance.

In my vserver setup, i have split my mailconfig. I have a vserver that 
runs squirrelmail & courier, a vserver that runs exim, spamassassin & 
clamav, one that runs samba and so on.
I'm not sure what the best way is to to share the home directory amongst 
some of the UML servers as i would like to keep the different mail 
server parts seperate as i did with vservers.


Is it possible to have an UML server that houses the home directories 
and makes them available for the UML servers that handle email and thus 
save emails in those share home directories?

Is samba suited to do this?

Thanks
Benedict

ntp and evolution - configuration problems?

[Brent Bailey]

I have some problems with processes not being able to connect to the
internet.  I have a ntp daemon running, but when I try to syncronize with an
internet clock I get the following error message:

NTP support is not installed.

Please install and activate NTP support in the system to enable
synchronization of your local time server with Internet time servers.

Also, I cannot send and recieve from evolution for my gmail account.  I have
the POP and SMTP options the same in my notebook which is running Ubuntu,
and it works fine.

Am I missing some configuration option here?  Something to do with
security?  Should I be putting anything in hosts.allow? Any help would be

I am running testing.

Thanks,

Re: Which is the correct configuration for a usb cd burner?

It seems then that it is recognised as a scsi device...
I'll try it as soon as I get home... I'm just a little bit buffled by
the fact that as of now no /dev/scd* is detected...
Have you enabled scsi in your kernel or are you using a debian kernel
image (2.6.?)?
Thank you very much for your support!

I had tried it once when I had newly installed Etch. But it didn't

I read on bootsplash.org there's a kernel panic error on Debain Etch
using bootsplash

I don't know if this has been solved yet or not. Seems debian people
don't use bootsplash since they are geeks mostly so they like the

My external USB dual layer DVD burner and also my USB enclosure "internal dual

totem and k3b by this entry in my /etc/fstab

/dev/scd0   /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0   0

Nothing else was required, though I placed this in /etc/fstab manually. I 
think it might also have required a hard reboot, but that might have been

Hope that helps.

advantages and disadvantages of local/lang en_CA.UTF-8?

[Douglas Allan Tutty]

I'm in Candada speaking and writing english with a off-the-shelf North
American computer with a standard US keyboard.

Up until etch, lang was C and nothing was UTF.  What are the advantages
to me of etch setting a default language en_CA.UTF-8 and other locale
settings?  What are the disadvantages?  

The only one I've hit so far is if I ssh into the box from a box that
doesn't have locales, I have to issue a LANG=C before I run mc or mutt.

Ideas?

Which is the correct configuration for a usb cd burner?

[kawanokami]

Hi, I just bought a LACIE usb burner and, most unfortunatly, k3b
doesn't recognize it...
The device was recognized by udev as /dev/ubb and if I insert a (full)
cd in it, KDE authomatically mounts it and makes its content
accessible correctly... But still k3b isn't able to use it as a burner
(or a reader). My question now is how a CD/DVD burner should be
recognized under Debian...

I'm running a debian testing/unstable with kernel 2.6.18 custom build
(I have enabled/disabled scsi emulation just to try it, but with no
different results) and k3b 1.0.1 ... When I power up my pc /dev/ubb is
already there (usb cable is inserted) and the device is recognized
with group "floppy", while the internal reader is recognized under /
dev/hda with group "cdrom". If I insert a blank cd in the usb burner,
it starts to recursively try to access it and fails (of course... it's
blank!)... I have to manually switch it off, exctract the cd and then
power it up again to stop it from trying...

Have you any suggestion? LACIE says its burner is tested with linux
mandriva, fedora, ubuntu (and others) and k3b... but perhaps I'm
missing some important kernel module? Or udev configuration? I googled
around, but with no luck... Can you help me?

tcpdump doesn't show VLAN IDs

[Urs Thuermann]

tcpdump ion current Debian testing does not show the VLAN ID in 802.1q
tagged Ethernet frames.

I have observed this using two machines:
(A) Linux-2.4.34.4, almost everything compiled on my own from scratch
tcpdump-3.9.5 and libpcap 0.9.5
(B) Debian testing, up to date, kernel 2.6.18-4-686, tcpdump 3.9.5 and
libpcap 0.9.5.

I have configured VLAN 100 on both machines using vconfig add eth0 100, 
have set addresses 172.16.6.1/24 and 172.16.6.2/24 resp. to eth0.100
interfaces, and have set the interfaces up.  The VLAN works.

But if I run tcpdump on eth0 on the Debian machine, it doesn't show me
the VLAN ID.

On (A) I do

   ping -c1 172.16.6.2

and I run tcpdump on both machines on interface eth0:

host-A # tcpdump -ne -i eth0 -xx not port 22

As you can see, the self-compiled tcpdump shows the VLAN tag, i.e.
"vlan 100, p 0" while the Debian version does not, although it sees
the complete ethernet frame header including the VLAN tag (marked
with ^ in the hexdump) and it shows that it is a VLAN tagged
frame.

Has Debian patched the tcpdump src or is this a bug?

fixing international characters with samba and apache

[mikewse]

Living in Sweden I have finally configured my Debian server to 
handle the swedish alphabet (with å, ä, ö) correctly. Below is 
how I did, for anyone who's interested.

***

PROBLEM 1: Filenames on a Samba share with correct å/ä/ö in 
Windows do not display correctly in Debian.

Solution: Switch to UTF-8 encoding in Debian (more and more 
tools use this as default for filenames including f ex Gnome 
Nautilus).

Set UTF-8 by assigning LANG to a UTF-8-based locale for all 
processes, f ex:
/etc/environment:
export LANG=sv_SE.utf8

If you want to keep English language in Debian (not switching 
to your local language) also add this:
export LC_MESSAGES=POSIX

(If needed, create /etc/environment and source it from 
/etc/profile.)

If a suitable UTF-8 locale is not available on your system then 
add it. Check available locales:

# locale -a

Add locale to "gen" file:
/etc/locale.gen:
...
sv_SE UTF-8

Then run:

# locale-gen.

***

PROBLEM 2: Apache's automatic file listings (autoindex) display 
å/ä/ö incorrectly.

Solution: Let Apache use UTF-8 as default encoding.

Set default encoding:
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf:
...
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

***

PROBLEM 3: Some clients send request URLs incompatible with 
UTF-8. An interesting (and confusing) example is the combination
of Internet Explorer (IE6) and Adobe Reader when opening a pdf
file. First, Apache receives a GET requests with a correctly
formed UTF-8 URL, but after that there is a GET request with
binary (not URL-encoded!) 8-bit characters according to 
ISO8859-1 encoding. The latter request of course fails.

Solution: Use Apache mod_rewrite to convert illegal characters 
to valid URL-encoded UTF-8 (which is the convention to use for 
URLs).

Enable mod_rewrite:

# cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
# ln -s ../mods-available/rewrite.load

For lowercase å/ä/ö add these rewrites:
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*)å(.*) $1%C3%A5$2
RewriteRule (.*)ä(.*) $1%C3%A4$2
RewriteRule (.*)ö(.*) $1%C3%B6$2
(for some reason I haven't been able to get uppercase Å/Ä/Ö
working...)

Make sure that å/ä/ö in the rules are saved in the ISO8859-1 
encoding as this needs to match exactly what arrives in the 
request. You can check this with octal dump:

# od -t c /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
...
0001120   R   u   l   e   (   .   *   ) 345   (   .   *   )   $
0001140   1   %   C   3   %   A   5   $   2  \n   R   e   w   r   i   t
0001160   e   R   u   l   e   (   .   *   ) 344   (   .   *   )
0001200   $   1   %   C   3   %   A   4   $   2  \n   R   e   w   r   i
0001220   t   e   R   u   l   e   (   .   *   ) 366   (   .   *   )

(notice the "eight-bit" characters 345/344/366)

***

Good luck with your own configuration!

Airtel won't working on LAN

[thanigai rajan]

Hi all,
Our Airtel ADSL2 220BX  Modem has an IP address of 192.168.1.254
my system  has an IP Address of 192.168.1.1 (which has got 2 network cards)
and my LAN machines has got addresses as 192.168.0.0/24
while i set the machine (which has got the IP of 192.168.1.1 &
192.168.0.1)as gateway for
my 192.168.0.0/24 networks, internet is not working in
192.168.0.0/24networks but working on
192.168.1.0/24 networks.

but in VSNL the same setup is working fine.

while i go through in both modems the Airtel has firewall enabled but in
VSNL the firewall is disabled.

is it the cause ? how to disable it ?
or else what will be the problem?
