RE: mouse probs on 2.2 install

[Dominic Blythe]

tried /dev/psaux and that made it worse, this was with I can't remember
which
window manager, it's the one that describes itself as "NeXTStep like" with
the
big debian squiggle wallpaper.

the system was booting straight into X so I couldn't get in to XF86Config to
change it back, so I reinstalled with twm (tab) and X config by anXious.
used
/dev/psaux as the device again, cos I _know_ the mouse is in the ps2, right?

anyway, it all worked fine. but i didn't like the look of twm so used
dselect to
put the other window manager back on, and lo and behold, the mouse doesn't
work
again, can't even open an xterm to edit XF86Config, another reinstall
looms...

also, when i installed with twm I didn't put xdm on cos I don't want to boot
straight to X, just in case it doesn't work. When i changed to
NeXTStep-like,
I'm sure i didn't ask for xdm but it seems to be on there anyway. Assuming I
can get the mouse working, can I run this very nice pretty and effective
window manager whose name I don't recall without xdm? i prefer to kick off
from terminal.
 
once again pls copy me with replies

mouse probs on 2.2 install

[Dominic Blythe]

used the X configuration script to set up my ps/2 mouse as type 4
during install, and when X is running it stays at the bottom of the 
screen and only moves from side to side. It works ok in character mode.

previous installation of corel worked straight away, no problem.

The only difference is I'm now using a PC99 motherboard, you know with
ps/2 mouse, ps/2 keyboard and usb sockets. In fact, corel still ran the same

after I changed the m/board.

any help gratefully rec'd as I've been running on corel for a long time
and finally found the guts to take on the scary debian install process - 
don't want one little glitch to send me back...

pls copy response 2 me as I can't cope with the list traffic

MySQL

[Dominic Blythe]

any MySQL tool for dumping/loading schema?

my ability in SQL is low, so I use phpMyAdmin to set up databases.
It's difficult then to replicate them. On other (non-free!) dbs I
use you can dump out an sql file of the schema and then just run it
on the next machine to build the database.

pls copy reply to me - list to big to handle.

J2EE SDK

[Dominic Blythe]

just been checking out java.sun.com and they've got binaries of J2EE SDK for
redhat 6.

I presume these are .rpm, although i haven't checked it out.

anybody know of any (plans to make a) .deb for these?

assuming that the Swap entry 66524 represents the swap partition,

RFC - corel installation

[Dominic Blythe]

Any body else ever had problems with corel installation?
mine worked fine, my friend using the same cd has the 
hang problem that loads of people here have reported.

As I can't find any commonality in whose works and whose
doesn't, I'd like your story! Corel is nice, easy and 
mostly Debian - it'd be a shame if the answer to the 
problem was just "the installer is crap - forget it".

Obvious things like scsi controller, cpu, and board
manufacturer are already ruled out. If we can find out, 
tell Corel and get it fixed, in a couple of years 
there'll be loads more debian users.

cheers.

apache question

[Dominic Blythe]

i don't use inetd to start apache, i start it from a script
which i can only run as root. if i chmod the script and try
being any other user, it won't start.

the documentation says "you will have to start apache as root
and then it will switch to Nobody", it kind of does, I get 
one process running as root, and about five running as
Nobody, which I guess are the servers mentioned in
httpd.conf. If i shut down the process owned by root, 
apache shuts down. apache doesn't mind how many of the
Nobody server processes are running.

Yeah But What's The Question?

Question: is this safe? everybody everywhere always
says never run apache as root, particularly if there
are cgi etc running.

i think you get two of replies to your own questions because 
debian people, considerate beings that they are, "reply-all"

all that "starting syslogd", "starting inetd" etc
when you're booting, it's controlled by init, right?

how do i tell it not to start the things I'd rather

yeah, but:

if the fifth error is that there are only four errors, 
then there aren't only four errors, there are five.

so the fifth error isn't an error, because there are five errors.

and if the fifth error isn't an error, then there are only four errors.

but if the fifth error is that there are only four errors, 
then there aren't only four errors, there are five.

so the fifth error isn't an error, because there are five errors.

and if the fifth error isn't an error, then there are only four errors.

but if the fifth error is that there are only four errors, 
then there aren't only four errors, there are five.

so the fifth error isn't an error, because there are five errors.

and if the fifth error isn't an error, then there are only four errors.

etc etc etc etc etc

RE: 1 IP address, 4 websites to host?

[Dominic Blythe]

it's called VIRTUAL DOMAINS and the documentation that comes with apache
tells you about it, also the config file, httpd.conf, has some stuff about
it (i think).

RE: X color depth

[Dominic Blythe]

NB: i set my riva128 to 24bpp with XF86Setup, and the card couldn't do it so
X wouldn't start, so I couldn't re-run XF86Setup to change it. I had to edit
xf86Config by hand (the geek method). Boy did it feel gd. ;-)

RE: php3 supporting MySQL

perhaps the binary wasn't compiled using the --with-mysql option.
You may have to get the source and compile it yourself.

RE: sources.list line to support retrieval of apache source

[Dominic Blythe]

compiling mod_perl 1.23 with apache 1.3.11.
got a hint today that it could be because i used
activate-module=src/modules/perl/mod_perl.c
when i should use
activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a

got to wait til i get home tonight to try it.
mod_perl itself does make, make install with no probs
and landed in the right place in apache build dir.

any other hints you might have gratefully rec'd :-)

[Dominic Blythe]

i'm getting into this debate.
what's the switches for ps that'll show all the daemons i'm running?
just ps just gives me the obvious processes.

RE: sources.list line to support retrieval of apache source

[Dominic Blythe]

why not just download it from apache?
i'm not being glib, i really want to know why not, 
cos that's what i did and i'm always looking for
better (different) ways to do things.

RE: sources of debian apps: is there a standard place?

[Dominic Blythe]

i'm pretty new to debian, but i'm compiling things becos what i want isn't
available as binaries  - i'm praying i'll still be able to search and
destroy stuff when i want to get rid of it without killing a lot of things i
don't understand as well :-)

if you're a C programmer ;)

compile vs binary was RE: missing curses?

[Dominic Blythe]

i'm going to be compiling apache and php3 to get my modules in, so i thought
i may as well do the lot. or is there a package for MySQL/Apache/PHP3?
perhaps there should be.
all the apache binaries I've ever seen don't include mod_perl or mod_php3.

missing curses?

[Dominic Blythe]

not the best example of a question as i'm a 
hundred miles from my linux box right now, but... 

i tried installing MySQL the other day, and 
configure stopped with the message "no curses" -
the previous three or four lines of output 
were "looking for tgetenv" here and 
"looking for tgetenv" there...

how can i tell if i've got no curses library,
and can i just get the ncurses/libcurses package
and install it without impacting on my system 
(which is Corel, which is, I think, Slink)?

libc6 howto

[Dominic Blythe]

libc6 howto says get

ncurses3.0_1.9.9e-2 
ncurses3.4_1.9.9g-5 
libreadline2_2.1-7 
libreadlineg2_2.1-7 
bash_2.01-5

to upgrade to libc6, but the libreadlines download page says they depend on
ncurses4, and the "all packages" page only lists bash_2.01.1-4.1

any hints?
