dhclient & booting
Hi I'm using Debian Sid (kernel 2.6.26). I need to configure the eth0 so it uses the dhcp. In my case the "dhclient" never gets response at boot time. Later, I have to restart the service "/etc/init.d/networking" to get a IP. Sometimes I've also problems at this point. I don't not why but sometimes I've to restart this service several times in order to get a IP. May be it's because of the network module but it's also true that it works fine whenever I configure it to use static ip address. To configure the "eth0" interface I write the following lines in the "interfaces" file: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Re: dhclient & booting
Ok, I should have written a bit more. Maybe these points are helpful: * I've also installed Windows XP on my laptop and it works fine so I'm sure that the problem has to do with my linux configuration. * I've tested different kernel versions (three of them). * "dmesg" seems to say that the interface eth0 is fine. The module that the network card needs to work is being loaded successfully (sky2) * However, the wireless interface (wlan0) works fine. It gets an IP from the same DHCP server without any problem. * The "messages" file writes the following message whenever I attempt to get an IP: "no IPv6 routers present". I've been reading about it but people are not agree with this point. Some of them think that it is not important at all and others think that it's necessary to disable IPv6. For example: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-222010.html The most strange point is that sometimes the network card gets an IP without problem... but very few times. Thank you for your reply. I'd appreciate any help. Regards, Shachar Or escribió: On Monday 04 August 2008 00:56, Antonio Diaz wrote: Hi I'm using Debian Sid (kernel 2.6.26).

Have you tested the dhcp server with a different client; a different machine? Could be a problem with the network adapter or the module. Try a different adapter in the box? Try a different kernel? Try a different dhcp client? Have you any iptables rules set that could interfere? Did you check dmesg? Perhaps try to change the interface's mac address? To configure the "eth0" interface I write the following lines in the "interfaces" file: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp This seems fine. Is there anything else in the file that could interfere? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance. Regards, __ LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.

dhclient: no offers
Hi, My laptop is a Dell XPS M1530. Its network card is a "Marvell Yukon 88E8040". According to the "lspci" command, the system seems to be detecting successfully the network card: [ Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (rev 12)" ] In accordance with other people who also have the same laptop, the driver which should be used is the "sky2" (SysKonnect Yukon2). I compiled it into the kernel and the "dmesg" command shows that it's being loaded successfully. [ sky2 eth0: addr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx sky2 eth0: enabling interface sky2 eth0: Link is up at 10 Mbps, half duplex, flow control none ] May be I should test the driver "sk98lin". It's the driver which you can download from the Marvell homepage. At this point I've a little question: Should I compile again the kernel and set the sky2 as a module in order to be able to use the "sk98lin" driver? In any case, this morning my network card got an IP from the DHCP server. The first time it got the IP immediately. Later I had to turn off my computer and when I switched it on again I had to attempt it three times (run three times the dhclient). I really don't know whether it's normal or not. Maybe it's has to do with the broadcast packages. I can't remember well but I read a log message which requested me to read about it. Anyhow, *a lot of thanks* for your replies.

Re: what's the best IDE for C programming in Debian?
Hi, I have been using Vim and Emacs for years but I've to admit that Netbeans and Eclipse are really great, specialized IDEs for these kind of tasks. I'd try some of them. For example, last two years I've been developing in C++ for my company and Netbeans has all you need and more: intelligentsense, subversion integration (amazing!!), great editor, . I don't know, simply wonderful. Moreover, both Netbeans and Eclipse are free software. I hope it helps. __ LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.

kde, dual monitor, maximize windows to the current monitor
I work with dual monitor configuration. I'm using Debian Sid and KDE 3.5.10. So far whenever I maximized a window it just maximized to the current monitor. However, a few days ago I updated my system (new kernel and "safe-upgrade") and this behavior seems to be changed. Now windows are maximized to both monitors and it's really annoying me. I have checked the xorg.conf file and it hasn't been touched. I have also checked the KDE display options and everything seems to be right. What is more, when I am logged as root user windows maximize just to one monitor, so I am sure that it has to do with KDE and not with the xorg file configuration. To be really sure, I installed XFCE4 and using this system windows just maximize to the current monitor. Please, anyone can help me? Thanks in advance, __ LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.

Re: kde, dual monitor, maximize windows to the current monitor
The option "window maximize support" is enabled but it fails. When I realized that I worked under the root user, I looked at his options in order to check if there were something different, but his configuration is exactly the same as my standard user. I have also found out that it also fails for other standard users (I did create a test user to check it). Anyway, thank you for your comment.

Re: kde, dual monitor, maximize windows to the current monitor
Sorry, now I configured my client not to post in html anymore. The xinerama option is off. I have also been posting to the KDE forum but I don't achieve to get it working. The point is that I haven't changed anything of my "xorg" configuration file. I just upgraded my system using the "safe-upgrade" option. So far, whenever I maximized a window it just span to one monitor and it was great. Now, it seems to be changed in KDE, because the xorg configuration file is exactly the same. What's more, I installed XFCE4 to do some additional checks and it also works fine there. I've read that it is necessary to get this behavior that the software has been compiled using the xinerama flag. Do you know if the latest KDE package has been compiled using this flag?

My experience with the linux driver from ati.amd.com is generally better than xorg out-of-the-box for dual monitors. Just remember to use aticoncfig, aticonfig -h really helps with available options.

dpkg-query
Does exist a command line which allows me
to look for packages of the configured repository? Even though it is
possible that I'm doing something wrong, whenever I use the command
"dpkg-query --list" I don't get the same list of packages that the
search form of Debian's web return to me
("debian.org/distrib/packages".)

missing the initrd file in the kernel package

Exactly, the command that I'm using to compile the kernel is: "make-kpkg --initrd --revision=1:xps.10 kernel_image" May be there is a problem with the application that creates the initrd file.

from LGPL to dual-license?
Sorry, this is an off-topic question but I'm sure that Debian people know a lot about this issue. I know some people who is trying to license their software as dual-license. Their intention is to be also able to release a propietary version of their software. However, I know that they have used a lot of LGPL software to build it, so in my opinion it is not possible. Do they have the right to release the software as dual-license? In my opinion to release a software as dual-license either all the code has to be developed by you or the license has to be compatible. Is this right? Thank you
