generate RAM disk

[Christian Christmann]

Hi,

I want to modify the default Etch kernel-2.6.18-3-SMP by
adding the option highmem > 4 GB. In the default kernel, 
this option is disabled. So, my idea was to download the
original kernel sources from kernel.org for the same version.
Then, get the config file from /boot of the Etch kernel and
use it to build the kernel from sources with the slight
difference that I enable the highmem option I need.
However, when installing a kernel with "aptitude", Debian
generates a RAM disk. So, obviously, I also need to have 
that RAM disk for the kernel I build from sources.

Is there any way to generate the same RAM disk as done
by Etch but based on the sources I used to build my kernel?

Thank you.

Chris

New hardware in Etch

[Christian Christmann]

Hi,

I've a system with 6 GB RAM, two AMD Opteron
CPUs and an S-ATA HD. Will these components run under
a default Debian Sarge. If so, where can I check that
both CPUs are running? Will /proc/cpuinfo provide
appropriate information?

Chris

Debian and VMWare

[Christian Christmann]

Hi,

I plan to set up a Windows terminal server. In order
to easily backup the entire Windows system, I plan to install
Debian Sarge as base system, then VMWare and in VMWare
the Windows OS.

Will I get a decreased speed performance in the VMWare 
Windows or will the Microsoft OS run approximately with 
the same performance as when installed directly without Linux.

May I run in other problems (or restrictions) with my 
Windows system when run in VMWare?

Thank you.

What I forgot to mention. On another machine running Solaris, I can
run rdesktop with "-a" without any problems. So the server seems not
to be the problem.

Problems with rdesktop

[Christian Christmann]

Hi,

I'm running rdesktop v1.3.0 on my Debian Sarge box.

When I try to connect to a Windows XP system, this
works fine with "rdesktop WINPC". However, when I specify
the color depth with "rdesktop -a 16 WINPC", the connection
is not established but I get the rdesktop usage message.
What is wrong? Why is "-a X" not accepted even though it
is explicitly mentioned in the man pages?

Fn buttons don't work - kernel upgrade

[Christian Christmann]

Hi,

I run Sarge on my laptop. The "Fn" buttons don't work. I think
that there are some kernel options that I have to enable.
(Or is this a problem of the X server?)
Can I add the additional kernel options as modules without
rebuilding my current kernel? If so, how does it work?

Thank you.

mkraid missing

[Christian Christmann]

Hi,

in the Woody I used mkraid to initialize an RAID1 array.
In Etch, mkraid is missing. Has it been moved to another package
or do I have to use another tool to create RAID arrays?

Thank you.
But when I invoke this tool, I have no option to select a CUPS printer
but just local printers.

It seems that OpenOffice does not recognize my CUPS server.

Hi,

in my fresh Sarge installation, OpenOffice 1.1 does not offers

CUPS is configured and works fine with KDE applications. I've added 
the CUPS server hostname in /etc/kde3/kdeprintrc.
Where do I set up the printers for OpenOffice?

Sound via ssh

[Christian Christmann]

Hi,

I've a Debian machine with a sound card. I can play 
mp3 with libOSS.so. When I connect to this machine with
ssh from another machine (it's a Sun terminal) with X
forwarding, I can start xmms and it also starts playing
the mp3. However, the sound is not forwarded to my
headphones connected to my Sun terminal. What is wrong?
Do I need to install any more modules/programs?

You are right, after rebooting my system, the X server is not running
anymore.
Typing 'startx' as a normal user, I get the error message:

xauth:  creating new authority file /home/christian/.serverauth.3054
xinit:  Server error.

OpenSSH authentification

[Christian Christmann]

Hi,

I'm trying to configure sshd (OpenSSH_3.8.1p1) in a way that passwords
are not required for ssh logins.

This is my /etc/sshd_config file:

Port 22

Protocol 2

HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key

KeyRegenerationInterval 3600

PermitRootLogin yes

StrictModes yes
X11Forwarding yes

X11UseLocalhost yes
PrintMotd yes
KeepAlive yes

Compression yes

SyslogFacility AUTH
LogLevel INFO
RhostsRSAAuthentication no

HostbasedAuthentication no
IgnoreRhosts yes

PasswordAuthentication yes
PermitEmptyPasswords no

ClientAliveInterval 30
ClientAliveInterval 30
ClientAliveCountMax 4

Subsystem   sftp/usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server


#--

The file /etc/shosts.equiv contains all hostnames that are a
allowed to login without password on that machine. The other
files contain the keys used in our network. All these file but
sshd_config are used in our network and are identical on all
our machines. So I suppose they are OK since I can ssh on all
other machines without any problems.

Any hints what's wrong with sshd_config and why a password 
is enforced?

Automount replaces auto.master

[Christian Christmann]

Hi,

on my Sarge system I want to use automounter (autofs).
After adding the mount points and the config files to /etc/auto.master,
creating the config files ( I tool the existing auto.home and replaced
the corresponding mount point names) for each mount point and restarting
autofs everything works fine. But when I reboot my system, the file
/etc/auto.master is replaced by a default auto.master that merely contains
"/home" as mount point.

Any ideas what tool and why changes /etc/auto.master? And how I can
stop it?

Thank you.

Disk usage

[Christian Christmann]

Hi,

on my Debian system the RAID discs are partitioned like that:

/dev/md1  9.2G  8.2G  593M  94% /
tmpfs 252M   16K  252M   1% /dev/shm
/dev/md3   37G   33G  2.5G  94% /usr
/dev/md0   92M   31M   57M  36% /boot
...

How can I determine where the 8.2G of /dev/md1 are used
(and excluding the other partitions)?

When I use "du" on "/" it will also take "/usr" from /dev/md3
and other mounted directories into account. 

Regards,
Chris

I had a similar problem couple of days ago after updating my

However, it does not work anymore.

How can I figure out if I'm still using the right device?
When I connect the organizer and execute the sync process
(in the device), I get the message in /var/log/messages:

ipac-ng chains or rules corrupted, fix this with fetchipac -S

Running fetchipac -S I get the error message:

 calloc failed
: Cannot allocate memory


Any ideas what's wrong with ipac-ng and how to solve that
problem?

Regards
Christian

Thank you. I could download the movie but as you mentioned I can't play

ati radeon mobility 9700

[Christian Christmann]

Hi,

I'm trying to run my notebook with the ATI Radeon
Mobilty 9700 video card. After downloading and installing
the ATI driver (from ati.com) and creating the config file
XF86Config-4 with the tool "fglrxconfig" I get the error
message when running startx:
[...]
(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)

But that's not possible because the module is loaded which
lsmod can confirm:

Module  SizeUsed by
fglrx   228700  0


Any hints how to get the x-server running?

Hi,

I've just installed mplayer from the Sarge packages. I can play
my video files but the option fullscreen is not available. The

My graphics card is a Viper 770. lsmod prints:

I've tried all available drivers for video in the option menu
but that didn't help.

Any ideas how to get mplayer playing in fullscreen?

I can't find any setting for my mailserver. My MTA is exim. 
Can I instead set the permission with "chmod 777" to this directory
or would this lead to a security problem?

What I actually mean is that you get the movie on the fullscreen just like
on TV. When I use the -fs option, I see no other windows but the playing
movie itself is still in a small window in the middle of my screen.

printing with cups

[Christian Christmann]

Hi,

I'm trying to install my HP printer with cups on my sarge box.
As mentioned in the documentation I use the command
'/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LaserJet6L -E -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -m
 /usr/share/cups/model/HP-LaserJet_6L-hpijs.ppd' and get
the message:
"lpadmin: add-printer (set device) failed: client-error-not-possible"

The ppd file exists in the mentioned directory. I suppose that my
parallel port doesn't work properly. How can I check it?
Or is something else wrong with cups?

Thank you.

no access to cyrus imap server

[Christian Christmann]

Hi,

I've just installed the Debian cyrus imap server packages
on my mail server. Unfortunately, I can't connect to the imap
server with my email clients which are running on my client
boxes. When I install sylheed-claws on the server I can access
the IMAP directories without any problems.
Of course, I can ping the mailserver and also nmap tells me that
port 143 is open. Futher, I can connect to the server with my client
boxes using "telnet 192.168.1.1 143".

Any ideas how to solve the problem?

fsck very slow

Hi,

I am using Kernel 2.6.5 and Debia Sarge. During 
the boot process fsck 1.35 is checking my filesystems
when they have been mounted couple times. When my

just some seconds. But since I have made some upgrades
it now takes very long approx. 5 min (depending on size
of partition).

slow cd burning

[Christian Christmann]

Hi,

on my Debian box I'm running the kernel 2.6.6.
I've read somewhere that the kernel 2.6 doesn't need
the SCSI-emulation for IDE-burner anymore and thus
I disabled this option while compiling the kernel.

Now burning CDs is running very slowly. Even if I tell
Xcdroast to burn with 16x, the speed goes down to less
than 2x.

And ideas how to solve this problem?

Thanks,

I just find out that you can fix this problem while using
dpkg-reconfigure locales and generate the setting for your country.

The seconf problem is a broken OpenOffice package which comes with
some of the Knoppix version. In order to solve it, remove the package with
dpkg -r openoffice-de-en and install the recent version from
www.openoffice.org
