Backport of Qt issue(s)?
Hi all, I'm running into two (old) Qt bugs on Debian 9.5. Preferably I'd like to see them fixed upstream, so that the whole world can benefit from the changes, instead of applying patches locally. I'm willing to send pull requests of needed. I noticed by default Debian uses Qt 5.7, which isn't an LTS Qt version and not supported by Qt itself anymore. Will the Debian community (itself) do backports for this version? Can I submit (pull) requests in order to get bugfixes backported to the Qt that is provided by Debian? And is likely that my request for such backports will even get accepted? It currently concerns the following two issues: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-37641 (not yet fixed, I'm also trying to get it fixed upstream) https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-48344 (fixed in Qt 5.11) Also, please let me know if there is a better mailing list to ask the question. -- Kind regards, Danny Smit

Bypassing lock files
Hi, I have an application that uses /dev/ttyS1 and creates a lock file in /var/lock ... however I need to inject extra data into /dev/ttyS1 via a bash script ... How would I go about "bypassing" the lock file in order for this script to inject the data? Any pointers? Thank you Danny

Incoming audio (radio frequency) goes through the antenna ... through the transciever ... to the sound card (via the MIC interface cable) ... it gets processed by the sound card and stuff happens on VOIP ... Because the VHF transceiver is effectively turned into a repeater NO transmit or recieve audio can be heard on the transciever itself (as it should be). In order to hear comms coming in or out of the transciever (via an antenna) one has to connect to the transciever with ANOTHER transciever in order to hear people talk (if you are tuned to the same frequency off course) Now ... my second transciever is fitted inside my car ... in order for me to hear all comms on the frequency I need to go to my car and turn that transciever on every now and then which becomes a pain in the donkey ... ;) ... In order for me NOT to make a trip to the car every 10 minutes I though of splitting the LINE-OUT and add a normal set of desktop speakers. So ... I was just wondering if I will have any losses (in whatever form) when I "split" the signal ... keep in mind that the audio signals processed by the sound card should be strong and reliable ...

Sound card question
Hi guys, I have a Sigmatel STAC9227 on-board sound card. Everything works fine as it should. It has the normal Mic , Ext.Speaker and Line-Out jacks. Currently the Mic and Ext.Speaker plugs are permanently occupied via speaker/mic headphones (Amateur Radio Stuff) ... What I would like to know is if it would be possible to send audio that goes to the headphones to the Line-Out jack at the same time? Thank You Danny

Disable startup services on Debian 8
Hi guys, Recently one of the harddrives on my main Debian v7 backup server failed due to multiple power failures where I live. The power failures and spikes also fried the UPS's connected to the server. Along with the Debian v7 backup server I have smb servers (x4) running Debian v3 (why fix it if it ain't broken ;) ) 2x proftpd servers running Debian v3 ;) one Apache,Squid3 server on Debian v7. I bought a new harddrive and installed Debian v8 on it (which I regret). Nothing in Debian v8 seems to work together. After removing/purging all traces of bloatware (gnome/KDE etc etc) from the default install I configured and setup all necessary servers/daemons and stuff I need to re-instate the server to it's former glory. My problem is this though: hostapd used to work flawlessly on Debian v7 but now it does'nt. It complains that it cannot load the nl80211 driver (I know that the nl80211 driver is referenced by cfg80211/mac80211 which comes up on lsmod). But still, hostapd cannot load the driver. I removed ALL references/files/configs to wicd/Network-Manager and seemingly other files that could interfere with hostapd or that can prevent hostapd from bringing up wlan0. However, when I peeked into rc0/1/2/3/4/5/6.d (in an attempt to see what startups could possibly interfere) I was astounded at the amount of crap that is started up by Debian v8. (Devuan looks better day by day ;) ) Now, before I ditch my beloved Debian (hello Devuan or [INSERT OTHER DISTRIBUTION HERE]) could someone for the love of doughnuts and beef jerky tell me which services/daemons/crap I can disable ... PLEASE ... I am too scared to randonly disable stuff for fear of a Drone Strike as punishment for my insubordination and refusal to accept SystemD ... ;( Can I disable the user.slice stuff? acpid.path/service/socket avahi (which I disable but miraculously re-appears) bootmisc.sh dbus.* emergency.* hibernate.* all the mount.this and mount.that stuff? network.omline network.target network.pre-target remote.* rescue.* And finally ... how do I disable SystemD at boot and if that cannot be done maybe something simpler ... how do I disable Debian v8 at boot???

Re: Have I been hacked?
Hi, I have read with interest all the responses and followed all the links. However, I realized something that I think we all (well, at least myself) forgot about ... and that is the importance of choosing a proper username ... Authentication (usually) is a 2 step process ... as we all know ... a username and a password ... and since ssh is (mostly) referred to here ... we can accept that it is most definately a 2 step process ... So ... if I know the username I am already halfway there ... I just need to get the OTHER remainig 50% (by breaking the password) ... and (like someone mentioned) it will take immensely long for someone to break a 10 (I think it was 10) character password ... then why is the importance of a good username ignored ... if I have a (creepy) username of 10 characters it will take a black hat twice as long to get what he wants ... or am I misleading myself (and others) here ... are we not putting too much emphasis/pressure on a good password where the pressure could be spread between the username AND password ... just asking ... Someone also mentioned black-hats ... I think that black-hats are a necessary evil ... just like lawyers ;) ... I understand some mechanical things better than others, like hydraulics and pneumatics ... mechanical engineering is no obstacle to me ... however ... I have difficulty in getting my head wrapped around things like squid, iptables, procmail, regexp ... some of you have no difficulty in any of these but have difficulty in mechanical stuff ... it is supposed to be like that ... when I think of black-hats I think of the green Matrix screen ... they are a special breed ... they see things that white hats don't see because it is their nature ... Just like car mechanics can tune/alter an engine so can black-hats tune alter a TCP/IP stream/payload ... Am I right in saying that there is actually nothing new when it comes to networking ... hear me out ... the internet (and most networks out there) still works on TCP/IP which is 40 odd years old (70's) ... a car mechanic only needs to know how an engine works ... you can bolt on many other things onto an engine and add a pletora of sensors to it but essentially it remains an engine ... if you understand the way an engine or an automatic/manual transmission works you can confidently service/overhaul any engine/transmission because they all are made up of the same stuff and they all work the same ... and this is my point with TCP/IP ... EVERYTHING is dumped on top of TCP/IP ... yet it remains the same ... a black hat only needs to know TCP/IP in order to knock on your door ... once he knocked on your door it means that he has found you ... he knows you are there ... all he has to do is look at the Matrix screen ... am I making sense? ...

Re: Have I been hacked?
Hi guys, I am afraid my happiness was short lived. To test if the deletion of the file (and the effects thereof) would be permanent I rebooted the system and consequently found another file (same size, same random lettering) booted up with everything else. :( ... The culprit is well hidden and regenerates itself ... I did "file -k", "grep -ir" and most of the other things you guys suggested, but nothing showed up. I am now going through the "after-compromise" chapter as one of you suggested. I will run "sleuthkit" and report if anything is found. However, I am afraid a backup and re-installation is on the horizon for me .. sigh . Can I make the "/etc/init.d" directory readable only with the contents thereof still executable ... untill I can properly back-up and install everything again? ... or maybe some other short term solution ...

Have I been hacked?
Hi guys, A while ago I posted a question about SFTP (I think the thread name was "SFTP Question") about attacks I got against my server after syslog warned me about an attempted breakin. Consequently I installed fail2ban and did a few other things to let me sleep better at night. However, prior to this breakin, in early December 2014, I noticed my network behaving strangely especially through wireless connections. I have Debian that acts as a gateway (wlan0->br0->eth0). wlan0 is the pickup for the internal network that gets bridged to eth0 which then goes through the router to the internet. What I noticed was that wireless connections would break down quickly, bind9 would fail to resolve (even on wired connections) and pages would load slow. In general it was chaos. Under the impression that it was a hardware failure, I changed the wlan0 adapter. Still it was the same. So I bought a more expensive one, and still no change. I changed eth0 with an expensive one and still it was the same. I bought 2 new Netgear ADSL routers but the chaos was still there. wlan0, br0 and eth0 just didn't want to work together no more. Eventually I stopped all bootup scripts and processes trying to isolate the problem. And guess what, I found the culprit. Here it is: ## -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Dec 11 17:17 /boot/dippqejwvf ## This file got booted up and caused all the havoc. I moved it to a secure place and now it seems that all gremlins have gone away. The date on this file is 11 Dec 2014, right about the time my troubles started. I think that those Chinese guys got into my system even before syslog warned me a few days later. However, I have a few other weird looking files in the /boot directory. Can you guys please have a look at them and tell me if they are normal or not. # drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Jan 6 19:35 . drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4.0K Jan 3 17:23 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Jan 6 19:03 aknaykocbs -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Jan 1 11:34 bxerzoalfk -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 157K Dec 10 18:57 config-3.16.0-0.bpo.4-686-pae -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 132K Dec 8 00:36 config-3.2.0-4-686-pae -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Dec 20 08:04 cwpgfmvkrk -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Dec 30 22:41 czhlgmsgzh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Dec 30 20:03 dkseypedtx -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Jan 3 15:14 esijfkmwnd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Dec 27 14:49 fndswijgdk -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root0 Dec 20 08:14 gbwokvqoch drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 12K Jan 3 17:23 grub -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Jan 5 07:28 gyimenpwnt -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Dec 31 17:49 hjmmvaxfzq -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Dec 15 21:25 hutaslspbf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14M Jan 3 17:25 initrd.img-3.16.0-0.bpo.4-686-pae -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11M Jan 2 22:01 initrd.img-3.2.0-4-686-pae -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Jan 2 18:47 isrgzlchmx -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Dec 27 14:56 izytxsbskq -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Jan 5 18:40 kvvcqvddix -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Jan 1 11:19 ryrfvxjggh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root0 Jan 5 19:08 sgopxfsiac -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.0M Dec 10 18:57 System.map-3.16.0-0.bpo.4-686-pae -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.6M Dec 8 00:36 System.map-3.2.0-4-686-pae -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Dec 30 20:40 ttqssdikcn -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root0 Dec 26 17:11 utxlhlmnix -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root0 Dec 12 07:29 vdqepbezvg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.9M Dec 10 18:56 vmlinuz-3.16.0-0.bpo.4-686-pae -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.6M Dec 8 00:35 vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-686-pae -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Dec 31 17:30 wevzubbsgn -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Jan 1 09:46 xjeemjyuly -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Jan 1 17:10 zfmpizunja -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 648K Jan 1 10:00 zkdjlvhuui -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root0 Dec 30 22:32 zpaqgbuxvr What bothers me is that the "other" files are all the same size (648k) as the suspected file I removed and they are very recent additions to the /boot directory.

SFTP question
Hi guys, I am trying to setup SFTP (ssh) with ProFTP. My /etc/proftpd/conf.d/sftpd.conf looks like this: ### SFTPEngine on Port 7003 SFTPLog /var/log/proftpd/sftp.log # Configure both the RSA and DSA host keys, using the same host key # files that OpenSSH uses. SFTPHostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key SFTPHostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key SFTPAuthMethods publickey SFTPAuthorizedUserKeys file:/etc/proftpd/authorized_keys/%u SFTPCompression delayed ## I added the following line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config: Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server I generated a key for each user that will use SFTP located in their /home/USER/.ssh/ directory As you can see, I have setup SFTP to listen on port 7003. My question is the following: The users that will connect to the ssh server uses FileZilla and mostly from Windows based machines. I copied the "id_rsa" key files (which was generated on Debian) to the Windows user's "My Documents" folder on Windows. I also added the (copied) "id_rsa" files to FileZilla. However, I get an "Authentication Failed" followed by a "Critical Error:Could not connect to server" from FileZilla. 1:Do I need to generate different keys on Windows or is it o.k to use the copied ones from Debian? 2:Do I have to name the copied or generated files the same as the user? 3:Where do I put the key files on Windows? (I use puTTY to normally connect to my ssh servers, which works fine) Thank You Danny -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: very slow Xorg and/or bash
Hi, I think you are looking for the answer in the wrong place. Remember that Xorg is totally network aware. When it starts up, it checks your hostname and resolv.conf file. A bad configuration of these two will slow Xorg down considerably. The reason I say this is because very recently (last week or so) I ran into a few problems with DNS, and whenever I misconfigured one of these files Xorg would take up to 15 seconds and sometimes even more to start. Also, I had slow logins with terminals. Properly configuring these two files rectified the problem.

Re: resolv.conf misbehaving
Hi, My apologies, I must have missed your reply > Warning : this setup is wrong and may not work as you expect. All listed > nameservers should be equivalent. Multiple nameservers are only for > redundancy, not to provide multiple sources. > > If you query the first server for an information out of its scope, it > may reply negatively (status: NXDOMAIN or NOERROR, ANSWER: 0) and the > next server won't be queried. So in the end you won't get your answer. However, what would be the point of giving resolv.conf multiple nameserver options then (if I understand you correctly), if one cannot "force" (for lack of a better word) it, or even arbitrarily change the order in which servers can be queried? So it would be absolutely pointless in even trying? I think I am missing something somewhere, previously (Debian 3.0 and even later) one could add multiple nameservers in resolv.conf and the list would be queried one at a time if an ANSWER SECTION could not be obtained from the previous one. I fail to understand then the reasoning for "limiting" resolv.conf (and everything associated with it). I am no expert (by a long way) when it comes to any sort of DNS, but you don't need to be a Doctor to know when someone is ill. The setup I had (Debian 3.0) worked. Unfortunately smart devices and more wireless laptops demanded attention. So I upgraded (clean install) to Debian 7.0. All I want to do is for all wireless devices to get DHCP from Debian (not the router) and query Debian (not the router) for name resolution. Simple as that. I appreciate your input.

Re: resolv.conf misbehaving
Hi Guys,
Looks like it was a combination of a few things.
First of all (according to man "resolvconf") I had to add "dns-" hooks to
/etc/network/interfaces.
DHCP was also a little problem (like some of you pointed out).
"resolv.conf" now has both the router and Debian as nameservers automatically.
e can now do "dig fever.havannah.local" and it resolves correctly. It queries
the Debian (10.0.0.5) server by default, which I want.
However, if I do "dig -x 10.0.0.5" (the Debian server which is
fever.havannah.local) it fails to resolve simply because it queries the router
(10.0.0.2) instead of the Debian server which is 10.0.0.5. It is not even making
attempts to query the Debian server.
But if I force dig with "dig @10.0.0.5 -x 10.0.0.5" it resolves correctly.
Is it because 10.0.0.2 (router) is pushed into resolv.conf first?
Any pointers?
fever.havannah.local= 10.0.0.5= Debian
router.havannah.local = 10.0.0.2= router

resolv.conf misbehaving
Hi guys, The past weekend I upgraded from Debian v3.0 to the latest Debian stable (7.0 or something) ... (wish I never did) ... However, I have noticed that my resolv.conf gets overwritten by something after every reboot. The Debian server resolves all local (internal) addresses and the ADSL router resolves all external addresses. Normally my resolv.conf looked like this nameserver 10.0.0.2 (ADSL router) nameserver 10.0.0.5 (Debian server to resolve local addresses) Now it get's overwritten with : nameserver 10.0.0.2 I need to reslove both local and external addresses. At the moment I have to manually add the 10.0.0.5 into the resolv.conf file after rebooting. Any help or pointers?

installing debian 5 on dell inspiron 580s
hi there, I just got a new dell 580s with windows 7 and I3-530 processor. I partitioned the drive within windows and proceeded to install debian using the latest x86 net disk (I burnt the latest 150M ISO to a CD for the installation). Everythng goes fine except that it fails to detect the ethernet adapter. I'm then prompted to pick a driver from a long list. I called Dell to ask which adapter I had inside and they said it was the Broadcom 57788. I couldn't find this exact model number on broadcom's website but from their website I learnt that they have a bunch of drivers like tg3, bnx2 and b44. I tried all three but none works. (http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/downloaddrivers.php) I proceed with the install without network thinking it may work afterwords and was able to log in as root, etc. However, without the network support I can't do much. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you, - Danny

Problem with me Modem Huawei on Debian Lenny
Hi Christian, It looks like Vista and Windows 7 people are experiencing the same problem as you are.

bug in kernel (I think): 2.6.15 to 2.6.17 and 3c59x driver
Hi, First time reporting a bug! I'm unsure whether this is kernel or driver? (or both?) I've been using Knoppix for some time and they have worked great. The latest 5.0 and 5.0.1 versions have a problem configuring the network card on one of my mahcines. I have three machines here (1) PII/400 with BX motherboard and 3Com 3c900B NIC. (2) PIII/800 with BX motherboard and 3Com 3c900B NIC. (3) K6-2/400 with VIA motherboard and 3Com 3c900 and 3c905 NICs (firewall). Booting Knoppix 5 on (1) the NIC looks like it is configured but is unresponsive. (2) and (3) the NICs work fine, but... Looking into why (1) didn't work I found "ifconfig -a" showed eth0 with the wrong base address. I tracked down these lines in dmesg: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device :00:0b.0 3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www .scyld.com/network/vortex.html :00:0b.0: 3Com PCI 3c900 Cyclone 10Mbps TPC at d085a000. Vers LK1.1.19 The "at d085a000" used to be "at 0x6800" on previous versions of Knoppix. In this example ifconfig shows eth0 base address as 0xa000. Base address of eth0 should be 0x6800 but values have been 0, 0x2000, 0xa000, 0xc000, 0xe000 ie it varies every reboot. Machine (2) shows a similar behaviour. Machine (3) eth0 is correct (sortof, ifconfig shows 0xe800 but dmesg shows 0001e800), eth1 varies like above (should be 0xec00). Previous versions of Knoppix work as expected. The address shown looks suspiciously like a memory address (~top 16 bits) and corresponds with the range of addresses shown by "cat /proc/kallsyms|grep 3c59x". lspci -v and cat /proc/pci show correct io port values Kernel version for 5.0 is 2.6.15 and for 5.0.1 is 2.6.17 and it felt like a kernel issue, so I installed Debian 3.0 on machine (1) from the Woody DVD and upgraded to Etch kernel 2.6.15-8 and 2.6.16-17. They failed in exactly the same way as Knoppix 5. So now I'm sure it's nothing added by Knoppix causing the error. I'm using Sarge with 2.4 kernel on machine (2) which is my main machine and I really didn't want to experiment on it! So I've only tried knoppix. Ditto for machine (3). I tried the Etch beta2 (2006-02-04) net installer and latest (2006-07-31) net installer. They do the same. Booting with the 2.6.16 kernel works all the way up to trying to use the network. Booting with install24 works like a dream of course. The error is very repeatable! It looks like it started around 2.6.15 and is still in 2.6.17. 2.6.11 was the last working. Not tried 2.6.12 to 2.6.14 kernels (still looking for live CDs). Unfortunately, I only have 3com cards for testing so I can't tell if it is a kernel or driver issue. The three machines are fairly different (excluding the NICs) so I can't believe it's a hardware issue and I can't believe I'm the only one to have seen it! They do have *me* in common! But they are fairly ordinary, not overclocked, no exotic hardware... I have reported this on the debian-knoppix mailing list and on the knoppix forum but it appears to have confounded everyone! This may have some more important details: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24746 So, - Is this a bug? - Has it already been reported? - Should I report it as kernel or driver? - Should I file a seperate report about the debian-installer even though it's really the same bug? - How do I report this in a way that is useful? (has enough detail etc) Thanks, Danny.

question about routing
Hi, Almost a year i am working with linux, i almost can do anyting from setting up a mail server, rebuilding the kernel but i do lack a lot of knowledge about routing, and somehow i do think that its just to simple but i dont see the light. Anyhow, bought recently a server to experiment with and finaly i would colocated it, but at home.. i have the current situation: My server is connected to a router, serving out (dhcp) 10.0.0.100-150 but i configurated my server to be static at 10.0.0.110. works fine, from my laptop i can communicate inside my 10.0.0.1 (gateway) network But this network is connect to my other network192.168.1.1 (gateway). And this router is connect to my ISP.. so briefly: ISP <-> 192.168.1.1 <> 10.0.0.1 <> my server: 10.0.0.110 How do i configure debian to communicate to the outsided.. i tryed a lot, but i dont understead the routing that well.. Can someone give me a clue, or refering to a website?.. Thanks, Danny.

Re: Mount problem with SATA and Kernel 2.6.6
Thank you for your answer. I always use the old .config. I use EXT3 filesystem with the drivers compiled in. I have no ramdisk, because I have compiled in the Promise drivers directly into the kernel. As written before, the hardisk is recognized correctly, also with the correct size. I have photographed the kernel messages during bootup and can see, that the SATA hardisk is attached as sda. It is strange, that I'm still unable to mount to SDA9, like in Kernel 2.4.18 The problem must be afterwards, after the Promise driver is being loaded.

Mount problem with SATA and Kernel 2.6.6
Hello, I have a weird boot problem. I have a SATA harddisk on a Promise controler with Nforce2 chipset. I have no problem to boot up with Kernel 2.4.18. All works fine instead of the Sound system. So I tried to use Kernel 2.6.6 as it have Nforce2 support. The problem is, that I can't boot, because of an Kernel panic, "unable to mount root on /dev/sda9". Strange thing is that I have compiled in all Promise and SATA drivers. Also during the boot process the SATA Hardisk are recognized as SDA with the correct size. This is my last line regarding the SCSI system: Attached scsi disk sda at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Where can be the problem? Any help is greatly apreciated.

I've done a grep-available -P kernel|grep ^Package|sort, but the results don't show a more recent version than 2.4.18. I'm familiar with "apt-get" -- can I use apt-get to update the kernel?

Re: Postgre/PHP installation woes
OK -- many thanks, much better -- the parse error is gone, so it
appears that the PHP page is connecting to the database! Alll
right! (Please forgive the missing ')' in the string below, I'm not a
PHP programmer, but I'm learning in a hurry. And under the old config,
these files worked perfectly as they were, so...go figure.)
However, the page is still refusing logins and passwords that were
scripted into the DB (from the "fake_data" file), including the
postgres db main user (not postgres, in our case).
So, my next stop is to figure out how to manually add users into our
database, to make sure that we have a working user in there.
Thanks again -- any further suggestions welcome.

Danny,
First of all, that code snippet can't be right, you're missing a ')'
check out the pg_connect manual page at:
http://php.net/pg_connect
You should pass it a valid connection string, but yours has a lot of
empty values.
Change:
$link = pg_connect ("", "", "", "", "ourdb" or
die ( "Could not connect to database." );
into:
$conn_string = "dbname=ourdb user=postgres password=drowssap";
$link = pg_connect($conn_string) or
die ( "Could not connect to database." );
This assumes that:
The postgres server runs on the same machine as the websever (I
understand it
is). Since we didn't specify a host and port number, it will connect
to the
localhost over a unix domain socket.
Your username is postgres (if it isn't, change it)
You password is drowssap (change it to the real password)
That should get you going
All suggestions welcome. Solution guaranteed posted to the list.
Since the solution includes your password, a 'it works' will do :)

Re: Postgre/PHP installation woes
Thanks to everyone for the helpful replies (my original post is below,
under the line). It appears that PHP is not connecting to our
postgre database, as indicated by the following error that appears on
the main PHP web page:
Parse error: parse error in /var/www/srp/dbconnect.php on line 5
I've taken the following actions in response to the assistance you've
offered:
1) Checked to see that the database (called "ourdb") is in fact
available by entering "psql ourdb." The database opens up to an "ourdb"
prompt. However, "locate ourdb" does not return a location for the DB.
2) Made sure that postgresql is running by outputting ps ax:
xxx ?S 0:00 /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/postmaster
xxx ?S 0:00 postgres: stats buffer process
xxx ?S 0:00 postgres: stats collector process
3) Altered the pg_hba.conf (located in /etc/postgresql) to reflect the
following, and re-started postgre:
#localall ident
sameuser
localall trust
host all 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 ident
sameuser
host all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 reject
4) Made sure that the php4-pgsql module is present -- I did an
"apt-get" for this last week
5) Examined the postgresql log for clues -- the log file is empty,
indicating that no login attempts have been made -- I suppose because
the auth.php has not found the DB.
6) pg_exec call deprecated under PHP 4.2.0 and replaced with pg_query:
since we're using php 4.1.2-6wood, it seems that this does not apply to
our setup. Correct?
7) Finally, examined the first 10 lines of auth.php:
if( $real_login )
{
$sql = "select fname, lname, password, admin_flag,
client_id from usr where login = " . sqlstr(
$real_login);
$result = pg_exec( $link, $sql );
This led me to examine "dbconnect.php" -- the following line is present:
$link = pg_connect ("", "", "", "", "ourdb" or
die ( "Could not connect to database." );
All suggestions welcome. Solution guaranteed posted to the list.

How to boot installed Debian system with Promise FastTrak 376?
Hello list, Yesterday I installed Debian 3 on my system with Promise FastTrak 376 controller with the help of the site: http://www.antgel.co.uk/compsci/linux/promise_raid.shtml Now comes my problem: My system doesn't boot! Grub showed only a Grub prompt. My Debian 3 (Woody) installation is on sd9. I have only one harddisk which is on the SATA port. I have also Windows XP installed. So in order to write this message I have made a FixMBR to be able to boot into windows. But now comes my question. What must I do, that I can choose between Windows and Debian 3? What must I do, that the ft3xx driver is loaded, so that Debian sees my Promise controller? Thanx in advance, Danny -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi Nano Nano, until yet I had no success, I downloaded the binary drivers from the Promise site, (for Suse and RedHat) tried it, but it won't load.

Hi Nano Nano, to supply a floppy during setup is no problem. There in the Debian 3 installer is an option "Preload modules from disk".

Re: Web server with PHP setup & mod-ssl
Thanks for the response. I took the action you suggested -- but I didn't delete the previous /etc/apache/httpd.conf file. Now, instead of showing my site on a Web page, my browser treats the main PHP page as a file download and dumps the file to my desktop. Should I remove apache-ssl, wipe the httpd.conf file, and start over from scratch? Or is there something in the httpd.conf file that I'm missing?

From a system I've got that started out as woody, its the 2.2.20 kernel by default, and the 2.4 kernel as an option. Its not 100% that the e100 driver will be in the 2.4 and its definetely not in the 2.2.x kernels.

Re: VA box network install challenge
Thanks for your helpful response.
Here's some output from the different troubleshooting attempts.
- /etc/init.d/networking stop -- resulted in this: "SIOCDELRT: No
such device"
- running "mii-tool" as root resulted in this: "No MII interfaces
found"
- bringing up interface manually with ifup eth0 gave this: "interface
already configured"
- I rebooted the box, paying careful attention to the bootup output,
and saw "SIOCDBCAST: No such device" flash by.
So although the Debian installer saw the card and installed the
eepro100 driver, some part of the operating system appears not to see
the network hardware.
Any other ideas?
I'm thinking that Debian is not happy with the VA/Intel ethernet chip
set. At this point, I'm going to try installing a 3Com PCI network
card in the box, to see if the OS sees that.

You might want to upgrade to a 2.4 kernel. Try "apt-get search
kernel-image-2.4" to see the different 2.4 kernels available on your
CD, then install one with a command like "apt-get install
kernel-image-2.4.22-1-k7", or whatever version matches your CPU(s).
Kernel ver. is 2.4.18-bf2.4 #1.
A friend replied that he also had trouble with getting Linux to
recognize the built-in Ethernet in his VA FullOn box, and his solution
was to install a separate NIC. I wonder if that's why VA originally
insisted on their version of RH...
Unless there are any better ideas, my next step is to install a good
old 3Com 3C905C-TXM card. The 3Com site is sketchy on drivers -- Debian
is not listed among the different Linux flavors -- so I'd appreciate
any helpful installation remarks or pointers to drivers/support sites.

Hello -- new to the list and grateful it's here. I hope that this is an appropriate posting. I'm attempting to rebuild a VA FullOn 2200 web server with the Debian 3.0r1 "woody" release. To install, I pulled the machine off the DMZ, then returned it to the DMZ after installation was complete. Although the installation was successful and the installer did see the network card (an onboard EtherExpress Pro 100, which worked perfectly under RH Linux) and I was allowed to assign IP, etc., now that I've plugged the box into its rightful place, it's not on the network. No ping, no nothing. I've verified the network light on the port, good cabling and hub, so it's not hardware -- the box ran fine with all same previously. I've also compared the /etc/network/interfaces file with the file on another server on the DMZ and both are identical (except for unique IP). I'm pretty sure that I chose the correct network card driver -- there are two "eepro" driver options in the Debian installer, and the installer rejected the first option but accepted the second, impying that the installer did see the NIC. I assigned IP appropriately at installation. However, although the "interfaces" file displays the proper IP configuration for eth0, "ifconfig -a" shows no listing at all for eth0 -- it just shows the "lo" listing. When installing Debian, does the box have to be physically connected to the network upon which it will reside? This sounds ridiculous, but I had to ask. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. -- Danny O'Brien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
execution of shell scripts from cdrom
Dear community, I wanted to execute a shell script from /cdrom and it fails with the following message: bash: ./scriptname: Permission denied. The script is executable and is run as root, so should work. Copying the script to ~ works but i really need to run it from /cdrom. Does this have anything to do with ro mounting of the cdrom (removing it from fstab did not help as the write protection is recognized and it is still mounted ro). What's the problem here ?

soundblaster PCI 128 driver
Dear community, I've got a soundblaster audio PCI 128 card. It should be supported but the names of the device drivers did not appear to include this particular name. I also reviewed this list and saw that people had used the es1370 or alsa driver. Perhaps someone can shed some light on what device driver to actually use.

Done. > You could also build a new 2.2.17 and either build support into your kernel or build it as module. The sb-live is right there, in the sound section. Install kernel-source-2.2.17_blahblah_.deb, unzip/tar it to /usr/src, go into the extracted main directory and run 'make menuconfig'. You might need some extra packages to do so, make, binutils, bin86, ncurses-dev come to mind. Then you choose your hardware and for stuff like sound you just compile it straight away to one big happy kernel (option: X) by 'make dep clean install' after the configuration is done. Or you can build it as module (option M in the menuconfig) and run 'make modules' and 'make modules_install' after kernel compilation and installation is done. This is just the "linux way", its not Debian specific. If you know which hardware drivers you need, building a kernel isn't hard at all and you can get rid of many features that only eat memory because you don't use them. For example, I use a scsi hd, cdrom, cdrw and floppydrive, so why would I have IDE drivers in my kernel... thats why I ditch everything I don't need. Personally, I prefer to have a monolithic kernel that exactly supports my box and nothing more, but opinions about this differ. Now I'm not saying you should compile all your software (I sure don't), but brewing a custom kernel is something every linux user can and should learn IMHO. Besides, its fun. BTW: It's likely you don't need to enter IRQ or IO values for your soundcard; if you do, building as a module is preferred, so you can tweak it with modprobe. Also I *think* the ALSA system is only for modules, not for built-in sound support but I'm not very knowledgable about alsa. I would not recommend using the woody alsa debs on a potato system. Dan
Re: KDE debs
Hi everyone, The kde.tdyc.com Woody tree for kde2 has been emptied, I'm sure of it because I used to apt kde2 from there. I happened to have been reinstalling my Woody box from scratch yesterday (the 6th), starting from a couple of potato disks. All went well, but when it came to installing kde2 binaries I had to use the potato branch instead. One would expect it to be the same packages, but I doubt if everything is cleanly organized at the moment; at least the kde2 install wasn't good, it froze on startup with its dcopserver not starting. I had to revert to kde1.1.2 because I couldn't solve it. I did also compile kde2 from source a week or two ago. You need to compile qt2.2 first. It worked but wasn't very stable; at least I could use konqueror and koffice from within kde1.1.2. Binary deb packages are of course much easier. Anyway, I hope that the kde2 debs will be added to the normal debian mirrors soon and hopefully they'll recompile them and check their cooperation with the normal Debian X scripts. Debian is the only distro, I'm afraid to say, that gave me and for some reason is continuing to give me troubles with kde. I certainly hope the most recent and fully incomprehensible RMS rants against the kde project (*after* the GPL'ing of qt was announced - see yesterday's slashdot) have nothing to do with this, otherwise I just might switch to Slackware or freebsd. If anyone knows anything more about this I'd be more than happy to hear about it. Best regards, Danny

Re: Filesystem layout and hi everybody
Hi, this might be a bit off-topic, but I've read in several manuals that a swap over 128 MB doesn't make much sense, but I never understood why. Can anyone enlight me on that? I'm using 128 MB of RAM and have a 128 MB swap, which is fine, but pretty soon I'll be putting together a server box which will hold 512 MB RAM and now I'm kinda wondering what to do with the swap size. Of course it doesn't matter to add a few hundred megs to it, but is it useful? -- Danny Pansters [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.ricin.com

You shouldn't use append unless you need to get a second eth card working (and even so, I'm pretty sure it's only needed for pre-2.2.x kernels). The eth0 should than become the card with the lowest hardware address, the other would become eth1. As I said, you don't need this. Just remove the append from lilo.conf, run lilo (!!) and add your eth0 with its IP number and the like in /etc/network/interfaces. Then restart the networking daemon; /etc/init.d/networking stop|start You can also experiment by using the ifconfig program on the command line. Debian 2.2 differs a bit from 2.1, the ifconfig is a little different also. Check the man page. Good luck, -- Danny Pansters [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: I hosed my network
"No route to host" seems kinda weird, but since you can ping I don't think theres anything wrong with your hardware. Anyway, I like it when people RTFM, maybe I can be of some help. loki:/etc# netstat -rn Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 204.145.251.52 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH0 0 0 ppp0 127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH0 0 0 lo 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 204.145.251.52 0.0.0.0 UG0 0 0 ppp0 (I also don't like the double lo appearance in the other machines routing) I'm missing an important piece of info: was your ppp0 interface up when trying to ftp between your two boxes and does it work ok, do you have Internet connectivity? It looks like the ppp is wrong. With a 0.0.0.0 netmask you don't set any network bits for the interface, this might explain why your ping -b did something (also note the longer ping time when pinging themselves) Do you want to ping broadcast? Then -b ^^ PING 192.168.1.0 (192.168.1.0) from 192.168.1.2 : 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.5 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.4 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.4 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=0.4 ms Note that .1 doesnt respond (it should also, al least mine does with a "DUP!" note). Does your /etc/host.conf have order bind,hosts (should be hosts,bind unless you're really doing exotic things on purpose) in it? Are you running bind yourself? (don't) Anyway, you should be using params like these: .1 has an eth .1, no default gateway, the ppp interface should have its gateway set to its Internet IP address (dynamically if needed) or (better) to one of your ISP's router IPs. It should have the .2 box in its /etc/hosts file and it should have your ISPs DNS numbers in its /etc/resolv.conf. Ask them for the netmask you should use and then use it (or x.x.255.255 or so if you have no further info) on the ppp interface. Use the default entries for the lo device on both boxes, also leave the IP spoofing part in place in /etc/init.d/networking. Make sure /etc/host.allow and .deny are set up the way you want it, enable .2 to do stuff and keep the rest out. Now .2 might want to have .1 as its gateway, that way (if you enable ip forwarding and masquerading on .1) you can use .1's Internet connection (I presume this is the final goal?). Don't use .1's Internet IP number anywhere in your setup, instead for .2, the Internet connectivity should be provided by .1 You can (and should unless your .1 runs bind) enter your ISP's nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf Don't change the /etc/init.d/networking script too easily, instead use /etc/network/interfaces and the like, and restart the daemon everytime by # /etc/init.d/networking stop # /etc/init.d/networking start (I rather not use reload). If you'll do ipchains rules for your local net, /etc/init.d/networking might be a good place for that. I think it's easier to check the setups once again than to find the exact problem from diagnostic output. I don't believe you have a hardware problem and certainly not an IRQ problem!! The networking HOWTO will likely be needed. Good luck, -- Danny Pansters [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.ricin.com
gtk/libpixmap?
Friday I decided to refsck my filesystems and start clean (every year or two seems a good time to clean my accumulated cruft out). I'm now plagued with gtk warnings like this one for many of my gtk programs: Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate loadable module in module_path: "libpixmap.so" What do I need to do to fix this ? I'm running Woody (and have been for as long as woody has been around) and am not at all averse to compiling things to fix it. I thought it was a gnome-libs library...however, I'm not sure of that, since programs like gtk-licq are complainging also. If it takes just recompiling gtk+-1.2.8 to fix it...that's fine too, however, I'm trying to break myself of accumulating non-dpkg installed stuff on my system (see cruft above). Thanks Danny Barron

I wouldn't go for the X stuff at first but rather install the (minimal) base system, then joe (favorite editor) and mc to finish setup and then (although through apt preferably) I install binutils, ncurses, gcc and stuff needed to compile a kernel from menuconfig to get all hardware working and set finish up. If it boots well again and stufgf works, I install whatever i need through apt including X (I happen to prefer kde so I'd apt kde2) Of course this is just my preference, maybe here's an interesting discussion.. how to initially set up a debian system. In my case I use a cable modem which basically means I can get away with two disks and a lot of apting... anyhow I think it makes sense to initially narrow down your packages installs as much as possible.
