why jdk1.3 fail?
On sarge I install jdk1.3 from sun, and get error below when running it: /usr/local/jdk1.3.1_20/bin/i386/native_threads/java: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory On sarge I have installed jdk1.2 and 1.4 from sun and they all work well.

Re: New error with backslashes in filenames
Hi, this is probably not a error.
You can see it in md5sum.c in coreutils (I have 5.97):
== md5sum.c ==
638 /* Output a leading backslash if the file name contains
639 a newline or backslash. */
640 if (strchr (file, '\n') || strchr (file, '\\'))
641 putchar ('\\');
Maybe that's because it wants you to remind you have the backslash there :)

Migrating raid5 to raid 1
Hi I have a system with 3 x 200G setup as a raid 5 config, I have just purchased to 750g drives with the thought of using raid1. I could remove one of the 200G drive - run the raid5 in degraded mode and create a raid1 in degraded mode. I also use lvm2, so moving most of it should be easy ? I don't have any media to do a backup and restore to (although I do have an external usb HD case ?) Are there any other options ? Alex signature.asc Description: Digital signature

dialup
Hello. I have dialup access to the internet. I'm currently using gnome-ppp (a front-end for wvdial). I'm wondering if it is possible to set it up so that it automatically connects to the internet when I open the browser, as opposed to me having to open the gnome-ppp program manually. I use the Toronto Freenet, which has time limits. Once the time limit has expired for the day, it will allow unlimited reconnects for a couple of minutes. So, if I'm reading a news site, I'm hoping to be able to load the site, and, if it disconnects, to be able to simply click on the link to the next page, and have it reconnect. Currently, I have to open gnome-ppp, reconnect, and then, the links don't work unless I reload the page a few times. It's irritating. On Windows machines, it just reconnects automatically without the fuss when I press a link. Thanks, Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: xorg: where to find this info?
One of the problems I encountered over here was with xserver-xorg-core not installing /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy. This wouldn't even work on a package reinstallation. So, dpkg-deb to the rescue. I made a scratch directory off of root and extracted xserver-xorg-core into it and copied the SecurityPolicy file to the correct location on this system from the directory tree created under scratch. Then I wiped the scratch directory. It will be interesting to find out what happens when I do the next reboot. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

weird samba error
Hi all.
Running sid, 2.6.22-2-686 #1 SMP, i686, updated daily.
The following worked for me last week as part of my anacron-launched backup:
[/etc/fstab]
//Iomega-XX/NetHDD /mnt/storagesmbfs noauto,password="" 0 0
This morning, it failed. When I try to mount /mnt/storage, I get a
bizarre failure where samba is trying to connect to 66.150.2.134,
which is vznassist.infospace.com. If I specify the IP address
(192.168.1.101, via DHCP), it works.
If I try to use smbclient, or mount.smbfs, directly, I get similar
behavior, though not the same IP address. I haven't seen anything in
the strace from mount that seems to be of any help:

Acroread is a propriatary program and as such it can't be included in the base debian repository. I'm not sure why it's not in non-free but it probably has something to do with the licence. I'm not sure what acroread will do that the free xpdf readers won't, since I've never used it. So before you assume that you need acroread, try one of the others. Xpdf is a generally good pdf reader although the user interface is, by now, unique. If you use Gnome, then use Evince (a gnome-based pdf reader) or if you use KDE, then use Kpdf (a KDE-based pdf reader). Of course, you can use any of them but if you don't already have the gnome or KDE libraries installed, it will be a bigger download. My _personal_ experience is that I like the KDE user interface better than the Gnome one and I've had stability problems with Gnome apps. However, I don't use either desktop environment, instead using either icewm (on my small box) or Xfce (on my big box).

That should answer your question about loading the wrong module. I'm also using alsa on a 2.6.22 kernel with no problems and the alsa module came with the kernel. I didn't need to compile it.

postgresql 7.4 won't start after sarge -> etch upgrade
Dear Debian experts,
I just upgraded an old Sarge server to Etch.
After the upgrade, I notice that the postgresq-7.4 server is not working.
ie : the postgreql process wont start by itself on system boot up
I dont know why the postgreql process wont start by itself - when I
did
/etc/init.d/postgresql-7.4 start
as superuser the postgresql server did not start.
so I replaced the system supplied file
/etc/init.d/postgresql-7.4
with the following file
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/init.d/postgresql-7.4
#!/bin/bash
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting PostgreSQL daemon..."
su - postgres -c '/usr/lib/postgresql/7.4/bin/postmaster -D \
/var/lib/postgresql/7.4/main > /dev/null 2>&1 &'
;;
stop)
echo "Stopping PostgreSQL daemon..."
su - postgres -c '/usr/lib/postgresql/7.4/bin/pg_ctl \
stop -m smart -D /var/lib/postgresql/7.4/main '
;;
restart)
$0 stop
sleep 1
$0 start
;;
status)
su - postgres -c '/usr/lib/postgresql/7.4/bin/pg_ctl status -D \
/var/lib/postgresql/7.4/main '
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}"
exit 1
;;
esac
**
now all works.
Questions
1) I dont know what went wrong with the upgrade... I did not make any changes
to postgresql.
This may have something to do with the new 7.4 / 8.1 split, but
1. I did not install 8.1
2. I have upgraded other servers before and dont remember this problem.
3. I also notice that now the postgres user can no longer use
pg_ctl status - It says that pg_ctl is not found.
ie her ( :) ) PATH does not include
/usr/lib/postgresql/7.4/bin/, which may be part or all of the problem.
1. How should the sytem be working now?
2. has any one else had this problem?
How should I rectify the problem?
Mitchell
