automating e2fsck to assume y
hi, i've had some problems lately with one of my debian boxes... it's a k6-2 350 mhz with about 256 mb ram. i think one of the dimm's may be bad. so, it crashes once in a while, and seems if i have downloaded large amounts of data just before the crash, e2fsck will run at startup and take forever - and fix errors. i'm running ext2 - is there any way, such as in fstab, to specify -y to e2fsck if it ever needs to be run manually at startup? tia, jason -- Jason M.

The router has the usual little LEDs on the front to indicate activity. In the last couple of days, I've noticed unexplained flickerings of the little LED. This is normal. You're on the same broadcast domain as other users. Hm. Perhaps I should have been more specific: It's the LED specifically for the connection from *my* PC to the router that's flickering... not the one for traffic to the cable-modem. Also, I've been connected with the same setup for six months, and this behaviour is new in the last couple of days. Now, as it happens I think I've isolated it to a poorly-configured dhclient... But I'm glad to know about iptraf and ntop, I'll take a look at them. hi, i have a similar situation with my cable modem, from the day i installed it. as far as i know, the cablemodem is like an ethernet bridge, and forwards all ethernet traffic to your pc. dsl modems (bridges) work in the same manner. i've ran tcpdump on my deb box, and i see a bunch of arp requests (which are tcp/ip's way of knowing which ip is bound to which mac address). i also see a bunch of broadcast traffic, like netbios stuff - people with file-sharing enabled. this may not be the case with you, since you mention possbile problems with the dhcp client. strangely, back in january when i switched from analog to digital cable - strickly tv-cable-box-speaking, i saw about a 50% reduction in this traffic! good luck, jason -- Jason M.

OT: any GPS tracking software for pc available to track cell phone
hi! i know this is a little off-topic, but i've googled with no results (other than PDA's). I now have a cell phone with GPS enabled, but i cannot find any use for it other than police tracking you in an emergency! has anyone ever heard of any pc software that will somehow track the position of a GPS enabled cellular phone? even any web sites or mailing lists would be appreciated. tia, jason -- Jason M.

smtp alais to point to dev null
hi! i was selling a car once and posted a message to some new jersey for sale newsgroup. luckily i set up an alias car to send the message... 'cause now i'm getting a lot of spam to that alias. so, i took car out of /etc/aliases, but now exim receieves the message, hold it it queue, then bounces it back to me since the original sender is ! so, as a solution, i would like to put car: /dev/null in /etc/aliases, but wanted to check here in case there is a better way of doing it. tia, jason -- Jason M.

Re: Ethernet problems: old 3c509b card is having overrun and errors
On Tue, 2003-03-11 at 05:03, Calyth wrote: I've been using 3c509b cards before, but it seems that this one, at a uptime of 8 days, as a samba server, it have encountered 182 errors and 185 overruns upon receiving 838.6 MiB (excuse my ignorance, but I can't recall what MiB means. It has to be something bytes, but what?) Anyways, I was reading the Ethernet HOWTO, and it suggested me to change the window size using the route command. According to that HOWTO, linux's default TCP Rx window is set to 32KB, and I've reset it to half the size. I'm waiting to see if anything improves. Has anyone ran into the same problem, and if so did anything you do that effectively solves it? I'd be glad to hear. Also, is there a way to use two network cards in this (pretty much crippled) server so that it would have better speed, for a lack of a better term. Again, I'm using it as a Samba server, and neither the HD nor the network card seems to be fully utilized - the activity lights are busts - so I don't quite believe that it being a 486 with 32MB of RAM is truly the problem. I'm aware of ways that software could make other computers think that two NIC as one, is there anything like that that I could use in this case? Thanks in advance. Calyth actually, i had the same exact problem! mine was an isa 3com, i think the 3c509c... not sure. anyway, i was takining massive errors - the same as you. i tested some downloads - got about 7 to 9 k from kernel.org. changed the cable, no help. then the local shop sold me a used smc isa card for $5 - no more problems! those same downloads then came at about 170 k (cable) during busy hours! sounds like a card problem. good luck, jason -- Jason M.

gnomba wont smbumount

mutt and html viewers to specify w3m under x
hello, i run mutt in Eterm. with $DISPLAY set, it launches galeon to view html, but not only does galeon not find mutt.html (?), but i don't want to spawn another window (galeon). so, i unset $DISPLAY in that term, and mutt uses w3m to view html. this is nice, i like it better. i just found w3m-img, (displays images even in Eterm) which is currently in sid (i'm running woody, it installed just fine). my problem is, with $DISPLAY unset, w3m will not display the images. is there any way, within mutt, to specify w3m to view html and not let gnome use it's default? tia, jason -- --- | http://theigloo.dhs.org:81 | http://counter.li.org/| | Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 Woody | 2.4.16-k6 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | registered linux user #202942 | --- pgpgqnEwruB1q.pgp Description: PGP signature

all my virtual hosts' logs are /var/log/apache/vhost.log, where vhost

hi larry,
thanks! that worked. the only problem i had with that was (which i
fixed):
whenever i changed to the sent folder, and the index displayed the To,
and then i changed to any other folder, it didn't go back to showing the
From. i even used the folder-hook option.
i then added another folder-hook option with . as the folder, to
display the index with the From, and all the folders now work correctly!
thanks again,
jason

gnome icons wont change in woody - only one icon
hello, i think i remember seeing someone with the same problem on a debian list, but i've searched lists.debian.org and didn't find it! forgive me please for the re-post. at home, i'm running woody. ever since the dist-upgrade, gmc no longer lets me choose different icons... all the icons i have a the default directory icon, even the trash! right_click, properties, then i choose another icon, close... even re-start gnome and it's still the open-folder icon. i looked at ~/.gnome/gmc, and it appears the icon is correct, but it still doesn't display it. i looked through permissions on files, everything looks okay. another example, i have myth2 installed, and used the myth2.xpm as the icon for myth2, and it refuses to display anything other than the white paper with debian written on it... and there is an entry in ~/.gnome/gmc for myth2 if that helps! tia, jason pgpzpEYtCcdY8.pgp Description: PGP signature

hi Curtis,
i've used samba to share files and printers - that's what it does. it's
the linux version of what windoze calls file and print sharing. i
guess, if you had two network cards, each on different subnets
('networks'), samba (probably) could listed for connections on each
subnet and you could use smbmount to mount your windoze shares.
good luck,

8139too on 2.2.19 ?
hello, my mom is (still) having trouble with a d-link 8139 dfe+ pci nic. i've used them on 3 pc's, with both potato and woody, and both 2.2.x and 2.4.x kernels. she was running a vanila potato install, with the 2.2.19pre1 kernel. rtl8139 (using modconf) failed to insert. she tried everything... different irq's, irq settings in bios and PnP. i told her how great they worked for me! so, i mailed her my woody cd #1 that i downloaded back in november. she now has that installed (and is very happy). it defaulted to kernel 2.2.19 (no pre1). her nic was autodetected, and the 8139too module was inserted. now, that's weird- i've never seen (or tried) 8139too on 2.2.x kernels. so, i had her set up her interfaces file, and networking restart. dhcp is giving her probs., so to rule that out (for now) i assigned her ip statically. the interface comes up, and she tried to ping herself (192.168.1.1) and gets neighbour buffer overflow which i've never seen. any thoughts? i've also mailed her an isa 3com. we may try that, or even a 2.4.x kernel. it's weird for me 'cause i never had a problem with those d-links, and never used 8139too with 2.2 kernels, and also never had that buffer error! has anyone ever seen these errors or have suggestions? tia, jason -- registered linux user #202942 | http://counter.li.org/ Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 Woody | 2.4.16-k6 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://theigloo.dhs.org pgpDg6sT1Xvbu.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: debian-friendly DSL/cable ISP in NYC area?
hi kurt, in the new jersey area... well, for dial-up, i'm not sure. for broadband: dsl - the local telco is verizon. if you get their residential package, i'm pretty sure they use pppoe on adsl... which the roaring penguin softare should work fine provided your kernel supports it. their buisiness class dsl (sdsl) should use tcp/ip with no user-authentication such as pppoe. if you can find an isp that uses covad (www.covad.com) as a clec, that would be nice. their sdsl packages may start around $100 per month for 192k and go up (and maybe past) 1.5 mb/s. if these isp's use covad for adsl lines, you may find one for about $40 per month. they may or may not use pppoe. cable - there are at least 3 main cable providers in nj, anyway. i haven't heard any problems from any of them with linux they don't support linux, but they work. most of them use tcp/ip and no pppoe. what this comes down to tcp/ip is fine. either way, if you have static or dynamic ip addressing, it should work. if they use pppoe, just look into whether the roaring penguin package will work. if it's dial up, just check into what authentication they use most will be ppp, which the pppd package should handle nicely. good luck, and welcome to the area! jason -- registered linux user #202942 http://counter.li.org/ http://www.theigloo.dhs.org

HOWEVER, I can't ping the machine, NOR can I get any network connectivity out. I've booted with the idepci boot disks and the standard bootdisks for both the stable and testing releases - same problem. It's not a hardware issue - Redhat works just fine on that machine. So where am I going wrong? Thanks for your help, Andrew I do not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire (1694-1778) i'm definitely not as experienced in rh as debain... but i know the way tcp/ip is configured is different. if the 3com is initialised at boot with the correct ip (not using ifconfig), then it's getting it's info from /etc/network/interfaces. that's slightly different from rh (6.2). here's what mine looks like: iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static address 64.93.82.x netmask 255.255.255.x gateway 64.93.82.x i've never had to specify anything other than that (for a static ip), not even the broadcast and network address. if that's the 10 mb isa 3com, i've had one working at home on 2 different pc's good luck, jason -- registered linux user #202942 http://counter.li.org/ http://www.theigloo.dhs.org
Re: Weird problem installing Debian
the 3com i had was given to be by a friend. he told me to use irq=7, which i did need. that is true... that was the big hurdle that i had when i tried to get it working also, i can't guarentee that irq7 is what you want - he used that floopy/3com software (dos-based) to set the irq. i've never used it, but from what i hear it's software based, but not PnP also, there's the 3c5x9utils package i can't remember which is which ... the 509 and the 905 ... not sure which is isa and pci! i've also never used that 3c5x9utils package... i would hope it does the same thing as the 3com dos software, but i don't know On Thu, Dec 13, 2001 at 06:12:37PM -0700, Cameron Matheson wrote: Hey, I've gotten this problem many times w/ the Etherlink III.

does mydql-server require more than loopback interface?
hello, i'm running php-nuke with mysql on potato with apache. at home, i'm running woody. i have the same set up (apache, mqsql-server, php4, the php-sql package)... at home, i only have a lo (loopback) interface, no eth, no ppp. mysqld starts just fine, no errors. i think i've narrowed down the cause to mysqld not listening on any tcp port. in the conf file for mysqld, i did tell it to listen on tcp port 3306, or whatever the default is. when mysqld is running, netstat doesn't list it anywhere... i think this is my problem. anyone ever used a similar setup with only lo? tia, jason -- registered linux user #202942 http://counter.li.org/ http://www.theigloo.dhs.org
dopewars on potato
hello, i have dopewars (1.5.2-1 from woody) installed on my potato box. my sources.list points to potato, but i downloaded the deb and: dpkg --ignore-depends=libc6 --ignore-depends=libgtk1.2 --ignore-depends=libncurses5 --ignore-depends=xlibs -i dopewars_1.5.2-1_i386.deb to get it installed. it works fine well, i haven't noticed any problems. now, apt-get upgrade fails 'cause it doesn't have the dependencies for dopewars... i remove dopewars, upgrade, then install it again. i tried building the source small harddrive... errors... i'd rather upgrade to woody! is there an easy way to tell apt to ignore dopewars, or shoud i just upgrade to woody? tia, jason -- registered linux user #202942 http://counter.li.org/ http://www.theigloo.dhs.org

Re: upgrade vs dist-upgrade
