Ahh, just did this last night. In /etc/dhclient.conf:
interface "eth0" {
send host-name "your_hostname";
send dhcp-client-identifier 1:your_ethernet_address;
send dhcp-lease-time 86400;
}
Not sure if you (or I) need the "send" lines, but now it stops dhclient
from looking on lo & eth1.

Sorry, Karsten, I've no solution. This is just a "me too" reply. I'm using woody, but the xfree86 in woody is the same package as sid. I'm hoping you have solved this perplexing problem since you posted, but just in case you haven't, I just wanted to know a couple of things, like: Do you use the: Option "DPMS" in XF86Config-4? I've never got this to work, so I've always used: xset dpms 0 0 2400 in my ~/.xsession file. This has worked until the recent upgrade.

No 's' key after logon
Well, I finally hit a WALL with woody: Briefly, my problem: Once I try to login after booting, my 's' key just beeps at me! So 'startx' won't work because I have no 's'... just a beep. And, in mc, I get a 'warning, cant cd into archives'. probably because it has an 's' in it. Thinking, it may be the latest bash upgrade, I wanted to downgrade to the earlier bash that was there. But, n, dpkg couldn't find 'bah.deb'. Even though I got the above warning, mc did show the archives directory. In mc, I was able to use the 's' key. So I reboot to 'Linux single', but again, no 's'. bummer. So I try 'mutt' (thank the gods... No 's' in 'mutt'). Now, I'm typing this in 'vim' and the 's' (obviously) is working. Why couldn't it have been 'z' that went belly up instead of 's'? Any help out there? Any clue to what might be happening? And hopefully a fix? (beep)incerly, your(beep) John -- Using Linux

As a last ressort, you can always consult the search engine at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages (-> Search Package Directories) This interface will list all dependencies. Even if you don't download the packages from there (apt is certainly more convenient), it might be helpfull as a means of orientation, especially if you're still exploring the load of packages which are available. Make apt a higher priority. I was just like you, not wanting to bother with apt, until I couldn't get my ~.xsession read.

Re: how to burn from iso file in xcdroast
I just went through this a couple of days ago. The commandline is: cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=0,0 Speed & dev probably will be different on your box. I found this was much easier than doing it with xcdroast. Someone had mentioned that by just changing the extension from .iso to .raw, then xcdroast would be able to write it ok.

Then I pon & later I poff I then do a: ifup eth0 Now I cannot access the internet through my cable modem (connected to eth0).

Re: wine broke with libc6_2.1.3-5
The current potato wine package worked flawlessly for me, so I didn't save the previous version. I got the latest one in woody, but still wine breaks. If you could, polly, upgrade to the latest libc6 (2.1.3-5). If wine starts up for you, then I'll go to the wine news group to see if they can sort it out.

wine broke with libc6_2.1.3-5
but when I degraded back to libc6_2.1.3-4, wine works. My wine package is: wine_0.0.2109-2_i386.deb This is on a fresh install of potato I've been running the last month or so. I never had the "pre-depends" problem. Any one else having troubles with wine? John

Re: xserver-3dlabs - libc6 (slink vs. potatoe)?
If I remember right, what I did was find the XF86_3DLabs binary on the net (suse, I think), download it to /usr/bin/X11/ and edit your /etc/X11/Xserver to point to it. This way you can avoid upgrading before you're ready to. Serge Rey wrote: > > I'm trying to get x configured and I have a Diamond Fire GL 1000 Pro > card.

I did try the other VCs but still got the same error. I, too saw the

I rebooted my box this morning and I got the error after logging in (as root & as user): critical error - immediate abort I noticed a bug report filed about this, and so I downgraded login from stable, and now I'm able to login. Before I run another apt-get upgrade, I wanted to see if anyone else had this problem and what the solution is besides using login from stable.

Well, I can cross this off my list of "Things that don't work." Although, with potato(e?) I had to change the 7101 to 7100. Thanks for posting this, Pat.

2 lingering probs
Prob #1 I'm running slink, upgraded libc6.2.1.1 because wine needed it: ran into too many problems, so went back to libc6.2.0.7. Now, when I boot up, /etc/X/Xresourses/xterm is not read. So, I have to: xrdb -merge xterm to get the file read. What do I need to do to remedy this? Prob #2 Printing: After bootup, I cannot do a print job until I: rmmod lp then insmod lp Then my print job is sent to the printer. I only have to do this the first time after bootup, then I have no problem with any other print jobs I send. My current /etc/modules contain: auto serial isofs lp Although, I've tried without auto, and omitted lp from the file. lsmod is constant with: lp 20 Although, with many early attempts at reconfigurations, ls mod showed an "autoclean" when it wouldn't print and then dissapear when a print job was sent. So, at one point I thought this might have been causing my non-printing problem, but autoclean hasn't been showing up lately. (what is autoclean?) Also, an lpq shows "no entries" when a print job is lost. I'm running KDE. Oh, that reminds me. About the same time I tried the libc6 upgrade, I upgraed the KDE, and had to install xdm, but disabled it with a "update-rc.d xdm remove" Any more info you need to help me solve this, I'll happily supply.

Re: wine.deb
Thanks, my memory is faulty. Too bad I just can't plug in another couple of simms into my head. So, then, does anyone know where I can d/l the 1/31 version of wine.deb?

Re: wine.deb
Let me know how you fare with the new wine.deb, Andrew. I have a shareware check balancing program in win95 that I dearly love, and every time another window overlays it, my checking program will freeze. I think there was another version after 1/31/99, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know if there is an archive out there that might have the older version?

Re: wine.deb
And a search in the unstable gets me the version of 3/28/99 which I already have and do not want. I want the version that was in potato before the 3/28/99 one showed up.

Re: wine.deb
That's the one in slink which is 10/18/98. What I'm looking for was the version that was in potato just before the one that's there now. I think the version I want is 2/??/99.

wine.deb
I just got and installed the latest (3/28/99) wine.deb from potato and now my little windows program dies a horrible death. I'd like to download the previous version (I think 2/99) and reinstall that. Anyone know where I can find it? Thanks John -- * Window users: Move up to Linux * * Linux users: Move up to Debian *
Re: remove plip from kernel
Wayne: Thanks for the response. Another responder's response led me to learn more about Lilo. With a de-installation & re-installation of Lilo, I'm now booting up my new kernel. I keep getting lost in the details and sometimes can't see the obvious, such as: "Make sure the switch is on the ON position" But I'm learning.

Re: remove plip from kernel
George Well, I told you it was probably something stupid I was or was not doing. I made a bootable floppy just now, from the new kernel image, and it booted my new kernel, and no more plip! Now, I guess I gotta go re-read the Lilo documentation a few more times to see how I screwed that up. Thanks for helping out a real dumbo.

remove plip from kernel
Hi, I've been trying to compile plip out of the 2.0.36 kerenel(slink, hda5), so I can use lp, without success. Here's some data: In .config # CONFIG_PLIP is not set CONFIG_PRINTER=m In bootup message: NET3 PLIP version 2.2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] plip1: Parallel port at 0x378, using assigned IRQ 7. And with cat /proc/ioports: 0378-037f : plip1 I've been using Debian's make-kpkg system to compile and I'm using lilo through my hamm installation on hdb1. I know I'm changing the kernel, because once I lost my ppp and vfat support. I have only the 1 parallel port and it's set at 0x378 & irq 7 My Hamm install prints without fuss and I don't have this plip problem. I know it's something really stupid I'm doing (or not doing), but I cant figure it out. If you need more info, please let me know. Any help is very welcomed. John B
Re: slink install messed up hamm partition
The future has arrived. I didn't wait long enough. I turned my back, and sure enough the serial ports were back on auto and I couldn't connect. It wasn't different versions of setserial as I had thought. Anyway, Brandon, your solution of adding "serial" to /etc/modules appears to have worked. It's been an hour now and my modem remains set to irq 3. Thanks for solving the problem, for me. John B John Bagdanoff wrote: > Hi, Brandon > > Sorry I didn't see your message sooner.

Re: slink install messed up hamm partition
Hi, Brandon Sorry I didn't see your message sooner. What I ended up doing is reverting the slink setserial back to the hamm one, and that took care of the problem. I think I'll leave well enough alone, but will save your message for a future attempt.
