[CtrlAltEnd] as [CtrlAltDel] ?
Hi there, how can I make a key combo work? In etc/inittab I get the following line: # What to do when CTRL-ALT-DEL is pressed. ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now which is ok for shutting the system down and rebooting. But, how about shutting down and halting? I tried adding the line: # What to do when CTRL-ALT-END is pressed. ca:12345:ctrlaltend:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -h now which was just a guess, and obviously didn't work. I suppose I should first of all configure [CtrlAltEnd] as a key combo, but how and where?

May be a more experienced user would be seeing a pattern at this point, even at an earlier point, but take into account that I've been using Debian for about a month now. When, and if, all this is over I hope to see it more clear from reviewing the errors and steps. Right now, I've installed all the libraries you told me (plus tclx76 & tk42) with the above result yet (can't load libtcl.so). Now the issue is no longer to have papyrus (or for that matter scriptum,...) up and running for the sake of it, I could use LyX instead of papyrus (... or any editor instead of scriptum), but to get the feeling of how these things work. -- > I can't reproduce your problem - it converted to a deb file fine and > didn't write anything to files in /. Are you sure you didn't install the > .deb? dpkg -s scriptum should say. Do you mean you converted it to a .deb package just by: alien -d scriptum...tgz ??? I've done it yet again and it happened all over again: no .deb package, and a tree directory right in / ( /scriptum...). I couldn't use dpkg since there was no .deb to use with. If "alien -d papyrus...tar.gz" had not generated a papyrus...deb package, I would think there's an implicit installation procedure with the "-d" option in alien (may be not with a ".tar.gz" but with a ".tgz"?). -- El hombre-masa actual es, en efecto, un primitivo, que por los bastidores se ha deslizado en el viejo escenario de la civilización.

The -d option worked (well, you know, sort of...) with the papyrus...tar.gz package (at least it just generated the .deb package and did not try to install anything). -- El hombre-masa actual es, en efecto, un primitivo, que por los bastidores se ha deslizado en el viejo escenario de la civilización.

I'm sure it was exactly like that, and I believe I got that from the alien manpage... I'll check though. The alien version... don't know, it's the one which come with Debian2.0 (sorry, still using windows for mailing purposes). > > > I've just done that, I've installed libc5, rebooted the system, and > > still "can't load libXmu.so.6" > > Now install xlib6... did it! ...it seems I'm getting up to something. Now it no longer says "can't load libXmu.so.6", instead it says: "can't load libXpm.so.4" What which other/s library/s should I install next? -- El hombre-masa actual es, en efecto, un primitivo, que por los bastidores se ha deslizado en el viejo escenario de la civilización.

I've just done that, I've installed libc5, rebooted the system, and still "can't load libXmu.so.6" I've even removed the papyrus package and reinstalled it... nothing. May be it's expecting to find libXmu.so.6 somewhere else... any idea? -- El hombre-masa actual es, en efecto, un primitivo, que por los bastidores se ha deslizado en el viejo escenario de la civilización.

My card is a S3 Trio64V+, and it worked fine both with Debian 1.3.1 and now with 2.0, except a bit of a headache for configuring. The XF86_S3 server came within the distribution.

.tar.gz, .tgz, tar.Z -->(alien) ->.deb???
Hi there, I downloaded some archives which I'm trying to install: 1) hj-alpha3_tar.Z (sun's hotjava) which I somehow thought was for linux-i386, and now I realized it would only run on solaris. The problem with it though, is that it's "_tar.Z", instead of ".tar.Z". So, what I did was just rename it: "hj-alpha3.tar.gz" and then run: alien -d hj-alpha3.tar.gz ok, I know there's nothing to do with it under linux, but that's not the issue, the issue is that instead of obtaining a .deb, the result was just as in case number 2. 2) Scriptum-1_1_7b-linux-elf-static.tgz and I ran: alien --to -debian Scriptum-1_1_7b-linux.elf-static.tgz and, while I was expecting a .deb result, where I got was directory tree on / (ie. /scriptum. which was the same as with hj-alpha3...) Now, if I try to run it under an xterm (/scriptum-1-1-7b-linux-elf- static/debian/tmp/bin/scriptum), I get the following: Scriptum: 1.1.7 (Linux 1.3.X)... and then three dialog boxes: lib.main.WARNING: Message not found Sorry, can't find resource file 'Scriptum'! message :1: Scriptum error: Main file not supplied lib.main.ERROR: Message not found Assertion failed (pasedFiles != ((void*)0)). parser/scrplex.l:296 3) papyrus-1.1.1.bin.ELF.static.tar.gz this one seems to work ok as far as alien is concerned: alien -d papyrus-1.1.1.bin.ELF.static.tar.gz and I get a papyrus-etc.deb file then I run dpkg: dpkg -i papyrus-etc.deb and seems to work. On the xterm, I just type: papyrus and get the following line: papyrus: can't load library ´libXmu.so.6´ Now, that library is indeed in /usr/X11R6/lib, and there's also a link of it (libXmu.so.6 -> libXp.so.6.2)... someone told me to use ldconfig, and I did run ldconfig (what is it supposed to do? Actually nothing in my case). Can anyone help with all or part of these problems, please? PS. I'm using Debian 2.0 -- El hombre-masa actual es, en efecto, un primitivo, que por los bastidores se ha deslizado en el viejo escenario de la civilización.

trouble with HDD
Hi there,
my apologies should anyone feel that this question is very off-topic,
but I can find no solution to it:
I have an IDE hard disk as a secondary master, and an IomegaZip
drive (also IDE) as a secondary slave. Both seem to be recognized
and detected by the BIOS, and even detected by Linux at
booting... although with some error messages.
When I switch the terminal on, just before the Lilo: prompt line, I
get the following:
System Configurations
...
Pri. Master Disk: LBA ,Mode 4, 1280MB
Pri. Slave Disk: None
Sec. Master Disk: CHS ,Mode 3, 545MB
Sec. Slave Disk: None
...
PCI device listing
Bus no. Device no. Func.no. VendorID DevID DevClass IRQ
07 1 8086 7010
IDEController 14 011 0 5333 8811
DisplayContr 9
---
In my BIOS, in the Standard CMOS Setup, there's the following
info configured:
type size cyls head precomp landz sector mode
...
Sec. Master User 545 1057 16 65535 1056 63 NORMAL
So, the disk drive is recognized up to that point, or so I believe.
But if I try to make a 'fdisk":
(With Linux fdisk)
FATAL ERROR: Cannot read disk drive
Press any key to exit fdisk
(With DOS fdisk)
No fixed disk present
Now these are the Linux starting messages:
Partition check:
hda: hda1 hda2 hda3
ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc = 5a, key = 5, asc = 24, ascq = 0
ide-floppy: Can't get drive capability
hdd: 98304kB, 32/64/96 CHS, 4096kBps, 512 sector size, 2941rpm
hdc:hdc: read_intr: error=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete
DataRequestError }
hdc: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=0,
sector=0
end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00, sector 0
unable to read partition table
Has anyone had this problem? Could anyone help me with it? Is
there any solution, or should I try a Low Level Format? What could
be the consequence of formatting at low level from the BIOS?
Thank you in advance,
