SOLVED: Re: globale Einstellungen in kde2
Hallo, ich habe den Fehler gefunden: man muss darauf achten, dass die globalen Konfigfiles in /etc/kde2 auch von den Benutzern lesbar sind. Wenn man diese einfach als root aus dem Home des Benutzers/.kde kopiert, werden in der Standardkonfig automatisch die Rechte so verändert, dass nur root lesen/schreiben darf (was in der Regel ja auch sinnvoll ist). Dann kann man quasi alles vorkonfigurieren und auch im Nachhinein verändern (vorausgesetzt der Nutzer hat im gleichen Control Modul in der Zwischenzeit nichts verändert). Danke für die Tipps.

Analog is complex to configure and some expertise seems to be needed to get the most meaningful results from it. What I need to do is find the number of unique views of each of my pages that wasn't referred from within my site. By unique, if a page gets viewed twice by the same ip address or hostname, it would only show up once in my count. I want to count only the referrals that come from somewhere else on the web. Mostly I check my log file using, for example: grep GET / access_log | wc but that will show both the hits I get from offsite as well as the referrals from other pages within my site. On the other hand, it would also be helpful to see the number of referrals that do come from within my site. So if someone comes to a particular page I write to attract traffic, and then goes to the pages where I talk about my services, that would be helpful to keep track of. Finally, some people find my pages with the search engines. The search terms they user are often encoded in the URL of the referring page. The syntax for the URL would be different depending on the search engine. I would like to know what the search terms are that people are finding me with.

Hello, that should be enough if you simply want to serve html-pages.

pppd: capiplugin: capitty not ready, waiting for driver ...
Hi, i'm running a router with pppd and the capiplugin (to use the same machine also for hylafax) with a AVM Fritz!Card PCI. It runs perfectly for about one day (it differs a little bit), but then it crashes with the above message (in the logfiles).

firewall/router crashing
Hello, i have a problem with my router/firewall. It crashes after a few hours of usage without a reason. When it has crashed, i'm not able to login on the console nor via ssh (to check the running processes, etc.), but it is still pingable. I looked in all the logfiles, but couldn't find anything unusual. The last thing the box does, is trying to dial my provider via pppd and the capiplugin. And before the connection is completely established, the logs stop and continue at the next boot (pressing the reset-button). The configuration: debian testing ppp with capiplugin (dial on demand) hylafax with capi4hylafax postfix 2.4.12 kernel Any suggestions ?? Daniel
Re: Linux auf alten Rechnern oder Live-CD
Sehr geehrter Hr. Eckersberg, normalerweise ist diese Mailingliste in Englisch, aber mir fällt es jetzt auch leichter, auf Deutsch zu antworten. On Donnerstag, November 22, 2001, at 08:40 Uhr, Jörg Eckersberg wrote: Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, ich bin Informatik-Lehrer am Europa-Gymnasium in Dessau und leite die Fachschaft Informatik. Zur Zeit bespreche ich in der 13.Klasse gerade das Thema Betriebssysteme. Ich möchte den Schülern die Möglichkeit bieten, einmal mit Linux zu arbeiten. Es würden sich meiner Meinung mehrer Varianten anbieten. Deswegen wende ich mich an Sie, um mir Rat zu holen. 1. Unsere Rechner sind AMD K6 200 mit 2GB HDD. Zur Zeit sind noch 300-400MB frei. Ist es sinnvoll, dort noch Linux zu installieren? Kann Linux die entsprechenden Partitionen ohne Datenverlust anlegen? 300-400MB sollten für eine sparsame Installation auf jeden Fall reichen, sie müssten dann vorher mit einem Tool wie PartitionMagic die Festplatte so verbereiten, damit der Bereich, auf dem Linux installiert werden soll, als eigene Partition verfügbar ist. Dann ensteht kein Datenverlust. Zum Schluss müssen sie lediglich lilo (oder einen anderen Bootmanager) entsprechend konfigurieren, damit auch Windows wieder gestartet werden kann. 2. Ich habe gehört, es gibt sogenannte Live-CD's, auf denen eine boorfähige Linuxvariante enthalten ist. a) Können Sie solch eine CD zur Verfügung stellen? Da wäre beispielsweise die LinuxCare BBC, welche allerdings zur Systemrettung gedacht ist und daher nur eine Textoberfläche zur Verfügung stellt (auf der neuen Homepage lese ich gerade, dass es auch einen X-Server gibt, aber ich glaube ohne KDE): lbt.linuxcare.com. Interessanter für Sie ist wahrscheinlich demolinux, welches auf debian basiert und für den Anwender ziehmlich leistungsfähig ist - eine Menge Applikationen, gnome und kde, basiert auf debian: www.demolinux.org . Von der 2.0 Version habe ich eine CD, die ich Ihnen gerne kopieren kann. b) Kann man die CD nutzen und nur die entsprechenden Konfigurations-Dateien auf HDD speichern? Demolinux kann das, soweit ich weiß. 3. Unsere Schule hat von der IHK Halle/ Dessau 20 alte PC geschenkt bekommen (486er, 33MHz, 100 MB HDD, kein CD-ROM) Es existieren aber keine Unterlagen oder Handbücher von den Komponenten. a) Kann man auf diesen alten Kisten ein Linux betreiben, das nur im Textmodus läuft? Theoretisch ja, die Frage ist nur, wie schnell es läuft und, ob es noch Spaß macht, damit zu arbeiten. Würde sagen, das sollte man mit einer Kiste probieren. b) Ein Bekannter sagte mir, ich solle bootfähige ISA-Netzkarten kaufen, einen richtig guten PC anschaffen, dann könnte man die alten Rechner als Terminal verwenden und der neue PC würde alles rechnen. Könnten Sie mir dazu Informationen zukommen lassen. Einige andere Schüler und ich (momentan K13 am Rabanus-Maurus-Gymnasium St. Ottilien) haben ein solches System an unserer Schule aufgebaut. Wir haben einen leistungsfähigen Server (2x 1Ghz, 1 GB RAM, RAID Array) und 14 Clients, die jeweils zwischen Pentium 133 und Pentium 200. Das Ganze läuft in groben Zügen etwa wie folgt ab: Auf der Client-Festplatte liegt lediglich ein netboot-image, das dann mittels dhcp/tftp den Kernel vom Server holt. Sobald der Kernel startet, wird ihm per dhcp eine IP zugewiesen und er mountet als nfs sein root-Verzeichnis readonly. Dann beginnt der normale Debian-Startup (der ein bisschen verändert wurde wg dem readonly root). Das gemountete root-Verzeichnis liegt auf dem Server in einem Unterverzeichnis. Ist der Client gebootet, startet es den XServer und fragt die grafische Oberfläche vom Server an. Von nun an, wird der Client nur noch zur Ein- und Ausgabe verwendet, die Rechenvorgänge finden komplett auf dem Server statt. In unserem System steht den Nutzern keine Konsole zur Verfügung, ist aber nur eine Konfigurationssache. Weitere Infos gibt's vom Linux Terminal Server Project www.ltsp.org Für weitere Infos stehe ich Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung.

Re: Install only the needed *applications*
On Thursday 06 September 2001 10:40, Marco Fioretti spoke wisely:
Hello,
After using linux for some years, I now know which applications
I like best for each task (text editing, graphics, www browsing,...).
for the same reason, I also realize that I always end up with a lot
of unneded stuff on my HD, unless I do spend a lot of time picking
packages by hand, with trial and error.
Now, let's assume that I have successfully installed the bare, bare
debian system on a PC. At this point, **without net access**, what is
the best (script based) way to:
1) install X11 with only the server for the card I actually
have
2) declare the *single applications* (not packages or packages
group)
I need, and let the system sort all the dependencies out and put
on the PC the *minimum* set of debs needed (picking them from
*all*
the CDs)?
In other words, I would like to be able to say through a script:
**I** want to use {gcc, perl, mutt, apache, postfix,
cups and not lpd,
pppd, iptables, ssh
blackbox and no other file managers,
emacs without X support, bash, fetchmail,
gimp and gimp only, no other GNOME things
konqueror and no other kde things
add your favourite apps here
}
**YOU** (bare debian system) sort out all the dependencies and
pick only what is needed from the CD(s) while I go to lunch
keep in mind that I don't need some automatic multiple installation
method,
like kickstart in Red Hat, and, for several reasons not worth discussing
here,
cannot build and burn custom CDs. I only have one PC, and want to fully
customize it for my needs in the shortest possible time right after
installation, from the default debian cd set.
Any ideas?
TIA,
Marco Fioretti
dselect
apt-get install all the packages you need
i would recommend dselect, because you get the recommendations for additional
packages, too, not only the absolutely needed depends. But that could be
against that, what you really want to do.

But that could be against that, what you really want to do. Which one of these methods is best for script use right after installation, i.e.: No net access yet Only the official debian CDs available Minimum manual intervention (hopefully just changing the CD when asked?) Then you should use apt-get. If you install a bare debian system apt/dpkg asks you, how many questions it should ask during installation. If you set the priority to critical, you don't get almost any questions during installation. If you want to script, i recommend using apt-get because thats the simpliest way. Simply make a script: apt-get install the packages you need there should be a parameter --assume-yes which causes even less questions to be asked. see man apt-move I am quite expert with red hat, and have started to study debian recently. One of the things I found most confusing is the relationship betweeen apt, dselect (?dpkg?) and what not. When do you use one or the other? Why? Are there any online documents explaining this specific issues? TIA, Marco Fioretti in short: dpkg is the backend as rpm is on suse or redhat. apt-get and dselect are frontends. With dselect you normally use apt-get as a middle-part between dselect itself and dpkg. the frontends have in common that the acquire the packages automatically from cdrom, ftp, http, ... with dpkg you can only install packages you have as files directly with dpkg -i packagefile.deb For further info have a look at: http://www.debian.org/doc/ddp http://www.linuxpress.com/debusered2.html#page107 hope that helps -- Daniel Kleine-Albers [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I read that they're working on a replacement, but until it's available I guess the only thing to do is edit XF86 config manually... Regarding the mouse, there's a document in Xfree86 docs about the mice and its protocols. They also advise about possible crashes on some systems after running XFree86 - configure, so I guess yours and mine are some of those systems, although I cannot explain why it crashes (maybe something to do with probing procedures?). good luck Pedro - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2001 6:54 AM Subject: XFree86\xf86cfg system crash okay, so after learning that XF86Setup is not working anymore (why did they do that? it seemed like a really good prog) i've installed xserver-XFree86, etc. so that i could run XFree86 (and in effect, xf86cfg which is dependent on it). So i installed the packages, and just ran XFree86 as root with no arguments to make sure that it was installed and everything, which it is\was. Then I ran XFree86 -configure (one of the suggested XF86Setup replacements i was referred to), and.. nothing. Screen goes blank and I have to hit ctrl-alt-delete several times before it reboots okay. So then, being somewhat stubborn, I try to run xf86cfg which yields the same results. Maybe I should go with the old adage If you want something done right, do it yourself and edit the configuration file manually. My dilemma is that my mouse isn't recognized. When i just run the X sever by itself ( '$ X' ) , it starts but the mouse doesn't move, and startx complains about an invalid argument in relation to /dev/mouse. So i guess i just need to edit the pointer section of the config file. I've got the standard Microsoft mouse with a little roll button dealie, and pretty much a standard debian configuration, so what should i call the protocol and what's the device file (and anything else i probably should tack on there)? Init isn't starting gpm so i think its just a configuration file problem. But all the same, this xf86cfg thing has gotten kind of personal... i mean, i just want to be able to get it to work for no other reason than its really bothering me (well, not that much but still).

Re: How to create a local archive of debian ftp ?
Hello, On Friday 22 June 2001 09:54, you spoke wisely: Hello, First, thanks for your reply, and sorry for my last message about apt-move, I've didn't see you've answered me in this mailing list thread. How's you're sources.list? My sources.list looks like something like that : deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free I'm creating the mirror on a machine using potato with hight bandwith (ADSL in french). But I want to mirror the woody archive. You have to change the lines to woody and add your machine on top of the sources.list. You have to be careful with this because you shouldn't do any apt-get install or apt-get upgrade, otherwise your machine would have woody packages installed which could end up in a chaos. If you only run apt-get update, nothing on your machine will change (except the package lists of course). If you want to install something on your machine change the lines back to potato, comment your local mirror out and run apt-get update, install all the packages you need and then change back everything to mirror again. You could write a little script for doing this. But, If I add 'woody' on my sources.dist, my distrib will be updated to woody, not potato ? Is it ? see above Remember to run apt-get update before running apt-move mirror. Really on a potato ? yes, but don't run apt-get upgrade! snip Logfile looks good for your config. hope all questions are cleared now. Daniel
Re: How to create a local archive of debian ftp ?
Hello, On Thursday 21 June 2001 09:26, you spoke wisely: Well, I've tried to configure and use apt-move in order to mirror woody from ftp.fr.debian.org. Things seems to go well, but my local archive is about 500 Mo and lot and lot of packages are missing. How's you're sources.list? You have to enter your local archive before the external sources, otherwise apt-move will download the whole archive from external everytime. You have to enter all the sources which you want to mirror in you sources.list file with the appropriate dists. Remember to run apt-get update before running apt-move mirror. Do you know what's going wrong ? How big is your local archive ? as i wrote in the last mail, about 4 or 5 GB temporarily you need nearly the duplicate space cause apt-move first downloads the packages to cache and then afterwards moves it into the mirror hirarchy. Do you know if there is something I've badly configured ? My .exclude is empty. Can I send you my apt-move.conf file ? Thanks for your reply, With kind regards. Gaël Pegliasco. Do you get any errors from apt-move like Tried to dequeue fetching object or something? You can send me your apt-move.conf but i don't think that the error is in this configuration file. If you have a dialup connection it may be that your provider kicked you off and apt-move aborted cause it was not possible to connect to the host. Are the packages-files generated? Can you access your local mirror correctly with dselect or apt? in hope for a solution, daniel
Re: How to create a local archive of debian ftp ?
Hello, i'm mirroring woody and sid, but as i am currently not at the computer which mirrors it, i can't tell you the exact size. For both a 10GB HD is at about 95% usage. So i think woody is about 4GB, but i don't know at this moment. Think about that i have some packages excluded like the kde i18n-files for the languages i don't need and all the hamradio stuff and some others. Daniel On Wednesday 20 June 2001 10:28, you spoke wisely: Hello, Thanks, for your reply. I'm actually trying to use apt-move. I think it could determine itself which are te relevant packages for woody i386, and it won't download all the enormous pool directory which full fill my hard disk. Which distribution do you mirror ? If it is woody, how many disk size does it use ? With kind regards, Gaël, I can't answer your question directly, but it looks to me that the files in the distros are sometimes only links to the pool. I'm creating and updating a mirror successfully with apt-move. (Even if it has a few disadvantages) You should have a look at this package. You can create a complete mirror for one distro without doing a lot of configuration work, but it's also possible to exclude packages that you never need (perhaps the hamradio-packages or something). Have a look in /usr/doc/apt-move/ too after installing the package. Hope that helps Daniel
Problems with kdm and sessreg - not all user sessions are recorded
Hello to all, i have a network with diskless X workstations running. Every client is asking the server for everything above the Xserver (using ver 4.0.3) with XFree86 -query sonne (where sonne is the name of the server). On the server X is configured to answer these requests and everything is working very well, but there is a little problem: in kdm.options there is using of sessreg enabled (use-sessreg) (and sessreg is installing and working, of course), but with the commands users or who, i can only see the last logged in user and the console users directly on the server, of course. For example user test logs in on one of the workstations, users gives me the following: test root root (2 root consoles), also if there are 3 or 4 other users logged in. With who i get even the right client display (for example test2.test.de:0). If this user logs out only root root is given back. The other users don't ahow anywhere, also if i can see their processes with ps axu or top. I read in the manual page to sessreg that sessreg is calculating a slot for each login with the file /etc/ttys and /etc/X11/Xservers. So I added for every client an entry to Xservers, just to make sure sessreg could find the clients. But the file /etc/ttys doesn't exist on my server and the debian package search doesn't return any package which contains it. Has anyone got a similiar problem or can at least tell me what I have to write to /etc/ttys to let this work? Thanx Daniel
Re: dhcp-client
On Tuesday 19 June 2001 05:58, Mike Pfleger spoke wisely: Hello. I've upgraded two partitions from Debian potato (well, Storm, actually) to testing, and have installed dhcp-client for net access through my firewall. I can ping my firewall, and verify the eth0 to firewall traffic via the LEDs on my switch. I can't however, reach anything past the firewall. No net activity on the gkrellm LEDs, or the LEDs in the switch during pings to any outside IP addresses, ping just reports the network as unreachable. I'm sending this email from the same machine, via another install. This installation is on a second removable HDD. Thus, the hardware and firewall can be ruled out at culprits, as can Shaw. I seem to remember getting a prompt for configuring netbase, where I had to enter a local IP address range, with the default being: 127.0.0.0/8 In a fit of brilliance, I entered: 192.168.1.0/24 And I strongly suspect that had something to do with my current grief. So... the questions for all you networking gods/goddesses are: - What file(s) should I be considering as culprits for the lack of connectivity? - Does anyone know, offhand, where the above IP address range values have been stored? - What is the recommended course of action? I'm trying to move away from pump, which I am using on this install. Thanks in advance, Hello, i think the 127.0.0.1/8 is stored in /etc/network/spoof-protect. I suggest to you looking in this file and setting the right values for all configuration options. For me the file looks like this: LOCAL_IPS=127.0.0.1/8 LOCAL_IFACES=eth0 eth1 ppp0 If you only have one network card and no other connection (like ISDN or something, you can remove the eth1 and ppp0 thing in LOCAL_IFACES. Look in /etc/network/interfaces too for wrong settings. Normally there is one loopback and one eth interface entry. After changing these files to the right values, do a /etc/init.d/networking restart to reconfigure your interfaces. Hope that helps, Daniel
Re: XMMS playback fault!
On Sunday 17 June 2001 19:08, Richard Collins spoke wisely: XMMS plays all mp3s too fast, and high pitched, It did this before upgrading to woody. I have a AMD K6-5 550MHz on a TMC m/b with on board VIA chipset sound, but I don't think hardware is the problem. Any ideas??? Rich I had a similiar problem. For me it got fixed after installing alsa. With the kernel module only you have these timing problems. (with every player) Daniel
installing a debian system within another debian system
Hello together, i just wanted to know, if it's possible to install a seperate debian system within another debian system with the normal utilities like apt, dpkg and dselect. What i want to do is, to have a simple possibility to maintain my linux terminal server. The mother system ist the one the server runs on. And the child system should be the one the clients get to run on (ltsp root). Has anybody any suggestions for a solution? Thanx, Daniel
opengl setup with riva128 chipset
Hello together, i've searched about 4 hours now to find a good manual or howto to set up opengl support under debian linux for the nvidia riva128 chipset. The drivers provided from nvidia don't seem to work with the riva128 chipset. Do you know a good howto or manual about setting up opengl support with this chipset? Another little question: how can i get back to the config menu for the xserver-xfree86 package? The menu asking which video card, ... thanx Daniel Kleine-Albers
problems with apt-move
Hello, i have a problem with apt-move. I want to mirror the testing distribution with the i386 packages on my unstable machine. Configured like the comments in the config file told me, i just get the following errors when i use apt-move mirror: E: Can't find a file for package ... (due to missing arch). E: Tried to dequeue a fetching object. Both these messages appear at least 100 times. It seems that there is a message for every package installed on my machine. Can anybody tell me what these errors mean and probably how to fix them? thank you p.s.: apt-get works fine
Re: Can't get php working, please help
Eivind Arnesen schrieb am 14.02.2001: Sorry to bother you all with this, but I have simply spent enough (=to much) time on this (browsing newsgroups and the www). I cannot get php working with my apache server. I have tried both php3 and php4, but with no success. I'am currently running Apache/1.3.9 and php3 on Debian 2.2. When I run apache -l I get: Compiled-in modules: http_core.c mod_so.c mod_perl.c mod_macro.c I have installed apache and php3 using apt-get. I have also tried newer versions of apache and php, but none have worked. I've uncommented Loadmodule ... php ... line in httpd.conf and .php .php3 etc. are included in the file mime.types When I try to open a php file in netscape, nothing happens! (the html is ok, but phpinfo() for example does not work!) Can someone help? Give me some instructions? I hoped(thought) that apt-get install would spare med from such troubles. I've managed to get it to work when I compile from source (using SuSE linux), but I'd rather use apt-get whenever possible. That's one of the main reasons that I wan't to use debian. Thanks! Eivind. Have you added or uncommented the AddType directive in httpd.conf where it is defined that the php-handler should be called, if a request comes in for a php-page? If you try to access a php file do you get back the source code? Then the above should be the solution. -- On the 8th day, God created Linux
Re: woody, apache, jserv
[EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb am 14.02.2001: I'm running woody on a server, I used dselect to install apache and jserv. Now when apache tries to start up it errors saying: Syntax error on line 120 of /etc/jserv/jserv.conf: Invalid command 'SetHandler', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration Line 120 of /etc/jserv/jserv.conf Location /jserv/ SetHandler jserv-status order deny,allow deny from all allow from localhost /Location obviously line 120 is the SetHandler is this something I need or can I just comment it out, or is something that can be fixed easily. Wayne This handler show's up the status of jserv to you. For a productive environment you don't really need it. But if it's important to you to get server runtime information, then you should find the error. I don't know about it now. I haven't these lines in my jserv.conf Perhaps the module isn't loaded properly.
Re: Networking w/ Win98
DSC Lithuania schrieb am 27.01.2001: Okay, I have my system up, my ethernet NIC installed, and am getting to like this. However, I was playing with the network utilities, trying to figure out how to link to our local Win95/98 Ethernet-10 network, and having little to no success. Part of the reason, I suspect, is that the Win95/98 network has NetBeui / SPX-IPX protocols (some also have TCP/IP, though that is currently useless ), whereas my Linux system looks like it wants NFS. Now, I did install TCP/IP with the Linux box as its own domain name server. So anyhow, I'm wondering: what's the best way to get Linux boxes linked to Win boxes? And is there a good HOWTO on Networking with Linux/Unix? (also related... where can I get to a web-based list of HOWTO's?) I'm sorry I'm such a newbie; but I have only two books on Linux with me, and 2 books on the generalities of networks, so I have to ask questions. Okay, a list of available HOWTO's you can find at www.linuxdoc.org There you can easily search for HOWTO's regarding your Topic. To get a connection with Windows you can use Samba which is available as a package in debian. It provides file and printing services and some extras. I recommend to install on all the Boxes TCP/IP and to kick out the NetBeui /IPX-SPX protocols if you don't really need them.
