I've seen the solution while scanning the Debian-user mailing lists.

Hi,

Just to tell everybody that there is nothing wrong with E .16. I installed
it on another Debian potato system and it simply works.

I finally made E worked on the computer which segfaults by reinstalling
the programs and libraries which E depends.

I like printool of redhat. So I used alien to debianized that thing. I
installed and it works(gui), but have not tested it yet.

Anyway, to comment on the original post... I tested/evaluated all major
linux distros. And Debian came on top. 

Sure, there are many rpm's around. But it's not made by the core
redhat people. So quality of the rpm's varies. Yes, there are not many
.debs around... but who needs it? there are literally thousands of .debs
made by the core debian developers. So the quality is extremely good. 

If you really want an easy distro, try to get hold of the upcoming corel
Linux distro. Wait... it's based on Debian!

just my 2 cents,

Use the libc5 Netscape version. Adam Shand has posted on the debian users
mailing lists the steps on how to install it. An addendum: Install
also xlib6g. Without it, netscape will do a "segmentation fault". 

I'm a heavy netscape user running on a Debian Potato system. I let it run
for hours on end, turn on java and javascript, run multiple netscape
windows and it works really good. 


--
 
* clean off all the netscape/navigator/communicator packages from your
  system (use dpkg --purge until they are all gone).

* make sure you have the needed libc5 packages:

  # apt-get install xpm4.7 libg++27 xlib6g

* go to the below url and download the libc5 netscape file:

  ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/4.6/english/unix/supported
  /linux20_libc5/professional_edition/

* save it to /tmp/communicator-v46-export.x86-unknown-linux2.0glibc.tar.gz

Got bitten by this bug too. What I did was to copy manually bash to

If it's a plug n play soundcard, install and run the isapnp package.
Next, Recompile your kernel for your specific sound card.

I've done it... and it took me a couple of hours reading the docs, setting
up isapnp and recompiling the kernel.

Can Debian implement what redhat does if a computer has a soundcard?
Simply run sndconfig. I've tested it and it really works. 

It only took me 2 minutes for the soundcard to work in redhat.

There are 3 ways that I can think of if you want to  get ppa.o from
drv1440.bin file:

option a:

1. mount -o loop -t msdos drv1440.bin /mnt 
2. find modules.tgz... ppa.o is there.

This assumes that you have installed loop block device module.

option b: (A bit risky! you might screw up your linux partition)

1. boot rescue boot disk. After Debian asks you for the debian driver
diskette... 
2. press alt-F2 (to go to another console. press alt-F1 to go back.) mount
your linux partition if it's not yet mounted... and just copy the ppa.o
from the mounted diskette. For a hint on where your drv1440.bin is
mounted... run the command: "df".

I can e-mail to you the file ppp.o. :)

the offending files that are being downloaded again and again.

What I did a couple of minutes ago is to:

mv /usr/include /usr/include.bak
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include /usr/include (assuming that your kernel
   2.2.3 source is on /usr/src/linux.)

After vmware has been installed... remove the link and 
mv /usr/include.bak /usr/include.

Vmware seems to work fine here. I'm using debian 2.0 kernel 2.2.2.

I can't guarantee that the above will work for you (But it certainly
worked for me!).

I have also encountered the same problem few months ago. Try to:

1. Edit /etc/default/rcS
2. find GMT="-u" and replace it with GMT=""
3. set your clock (Thru BIOS or thru hwclock). Try to reboot if it works.

I don't claim that this is the answer but it certainly made my clock

Hi,

What I use is mirrordir (avail.as a .deb package.). Easy to use and
supports the usual stuff like auto resume, symlink support, etc.

Works great especially if you team it with cron.

The reason is I updated my Eterm manually. Download some .debs here and

Hi Joost,

I too have this problem few weeks ago.  What I did was:

1. Run xf86config
2. When it asks me for "Do you want to use XKB?" say yes.
3. Choose a preconfigured keymaps.  I selected then: "1  Standard 101-key,
   US encoding"

With this one, no more fiddling with xmodmap or anything, Backspace & the
Delete key simply works.

Help! I hosed my filesystem with mkfs.ext2

1998-09-02 Thread A. M. Varon
Hi,

It was a stupid mistake. I accidentally type "mkfs.ext2 /dev/hdb2".
It was an unmounted file system.

Someone can help me on how to bring it back? I have not rebooted my
computer or anything.

Hi,

You should use the installer/wrapper of debian. it's at:

Hi,

I have been using Netscape 4.06 (With or Without Java.) without any
problems. In fact, It's much more stable than the Netscape versions in
Nt/win95! Kudos to Brian White for a very good Debian wrapper/installer
for the Netscape Browser! 

Maybe you have installed Netscape 4.06 without the debian Netscape

Hi,

I have a Syquest Sparq 1.0 Gb IDE parallel port version. It quite works
well with Debian Linux. 

Bit of a problem is that since the parallel port version is IDE based,
it's so CPU Intensive! I've heard that the SCSI parallel port drives is
faster and not as CPU intensive compared to the IDE parallel port drives.

Looking at www.torque.net/linux-pp.html, The Syjet is supported... albeit
the software is still in ALPHA version. 

So, your best bet is to either:

* Buy a Syquest Sparc now.   
* Buy a Syquest Syjet now. Wait for a few weeks/months for the software
  driver to be mature/stable.

Hi,

edit /etc/X11/Xmodmap and put something like this:

keycode 22 = BackSpace
keycode 107 = Delete

You are using Debian 1.3? I have installed Debian 2.0 and it exhibits the

hi,

But from my experience, a UART chip 16540 would give you at most 19.2
kbps. If you increase the speed, you will get lots of crc errors and
that will actually slow you down. Especially if you will be using ftp.

your best bet is:

1. Replace your external modem with an internal 33.6kbps modems.  Internal
modems have embedded 6550a UART chips. 

2. Buy/Replace your IDE card with a new IDE card which has the 16550a chip
on it.

How true. I agree 100% with that statement. 

But could it be possible that Debian will support some sort of
GUI admin. tool? just like Redhat's control panel. maybe someone could
port this thing to Debian.

This GUI admin tool has:
1. Printer Configurator.(easy to add printers locally, remote or using smb.)
2. Network Configurator.(adding virtual hosts and/or dialup to an ISP.) 
3. Package Management. (sorta like a graphical dselect.)
4. Apache Configurator. (add virtual web hostings, etc.)
5. File System Configurator. (mount/unmounts filesystems and NFS.)
6. Runlevel Editor. (Edit the runlevels of the system.)
7. User & group configurator. (Add,delete or lock users/groups.)
8. Time Machine. (Change the Time or Date Grahically.)

Hell, it's so easy to dialup to an ISP using this thing, we could then
elimanate maybe 20% of the topic here in debian-user mailing list about
how to connect to an ISP. :)

I think, that's one strength of Redhat compared to Debian.

Webmin and Linuxconf has the same idea. Maybe we could tinker with it and
start from there.

Any Ideas?

If you have an FTP server on your web server, type this in your netscape:

ftp://

It will ask you for your password and you can now upload your web page.
The only problem is... you could upload only one file at a time.

communicator. It has a facility to upload plenty of files on your web
server.

Stability you've got it. One good example is the Netscape installer
(Navigator or Communicator) Debian. This installer fixes a few glitches
where Netscape would give you a bus error. So Netscape is very stable when
I run it... even with java applets in some web pages.

Other distro? well, you don't have an installer for netscape.

Sure, Install Ip Masquarade in your linux box. Read the HOWTO on this one.

Sure... I have compiled NNTPCACHE on a Debian box. Just follow the steps
(there is a readme on how to install it.).

The problem really I have encountered on it is configuring the
configuration files on it.

NNTPCACHE is really a cool program. It's a proxy like squid, but instead
of proxying html, jpgs, etc., It proxies nntp newsgroups. It saves you
enormous bandwitdth just using this one. This baby can even filter spams
and connect to multiple nntpservers.

A little hitch on this one is For non profit organizations and
educational institutions, it's free. For commercial use, you have to pay.
Therefore, It's not exactly free. 

Anybody care to compile it as a .deb file?

hi,

Try to recompile the kernel and add support for the sound blaster
(SB, SBPro, SB16, clones) support.

Even if you don't have a sound blaster, all sound cards claim that they
are sound blaster compatible anyway. For more info. try to read the manual
of your Yamaha 3d Wavetable sound card.

Hmm linux did not detect the 3c509b card. Could you try to swap
ethernet cards with your other linux box? maybe you have some spare ones. 
Try to see if another ethernet card is working with your current setup.
