Libranet to Sarge
Hi, I am new to this list and new to debian (but not linux). A few months ago, I installed woody on my laptop, but was disappointed in the shape the install left things. There were too many things left to configure manually. So, over the weekend, I wiped it and decided to try the free version of Libranet (2.0), basically for the installer, with plans to convert to sarge. The Libranet install went great, set up my network, sound, X, etc. reasonably well. Next, I changed my /etc/apt/sources.list to point to sarge instead of woody. Then, I did an apt-get install synaptic, then upgraded X to 4.2.1 and fixed up my X even better. Upgraded a few more things with synaptic. Wow, synaptic/apt-get rocks! Sorry about the long pre-amble...my question is if I do an apt-get upgrade, will I officially be converted to sarge, or is there more to it than that? I realize some of the Libranet stuff will be left over. By the way, is there some reason Debian can't adopt the Libranet installer and tweak it for the Debain defaults intead of the Libranet defaults? The installer is very nice.

Nautilus
Hi, I find that I quite like Nautillus, even though I use it infrequently. I have, however, just recently started to have a problem with it that I can't seem to shake. When I open it, it tells me, one-by-one that the sidebar panels have encountered a problem and should be turned off. Also each of the various viewers encounter errors while starting up to view files This was a problem that came and went for a while, but now it is here all the time. I have deleted the various Nautillus files and directories in ~/ but still it persists. This is the Nautilus from Woody, so I was wondering if anyone can tell me if there is a file somewhere to edit or delete, or if this problem has arisen for others before?

You may have already done this, but the first thing I would check is whether some interface somewhere on your LAN is misconfigured and set up as that MIT IP address. It seems unlikely that it's really coming from outside. As far as it being an echo: sometimes strange things can happen due to apache misconfiguration; like when the page references an image, but due to proxying, redirection, mod-perl handling, etc., apache wants to reload the page instead. Check out those style sheet references from the root, for example. Hmmm, makes me think the Apache machine itself may have that address configured somewhere... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Performance hit: symlinks
Keith G. Murphy wrote: Karsten M. Self wrote: By using symlinks, filehandle open to the old library will continue to work while they are open. Are you *sure* this is a reason to use symlinks? I really thought old libraries stuck around until all filehandles to them were closed anyway. I thought it was more that you don't want to just start overwriting the old library directly, because *new* opens by other programs might have a problem until the copy finishes. On the other hand, maybe the overwrite would try to do an exclusive lock on the library, and not work while the library was open by other programs. I'm not inclined to try on my system. :-) OK, you know I had to check it out. :-) I experimented with /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.6.2, which is not used by much else on my system besides invocations of tcpdump (I hoped). # ls libpcap* -l -rw-r--r--1 root root libpcap.so.0.6.2 lrwxrwxrwx1 root root libpcap.so.0-libpcap.so.0.6.2 # mv libpcap.so.0.6.2 libpcap.sav tcpdump bombed because it couldn't find the library # cp libpcap.sav libpcap.so.0.6.2 tcpdump worked OK # rm libpcap.so.0 tcpdump bombed because it couldn't find the library Nothing suprising so far. # ln -s libpcap.so.0.6.2 libpcap.so.0 tcpdump runs fine again What if I delete the library out from under a running tcpdump? I ran my tcpdump and ctrl/S'ed it. # rm libpcap.so.0.6.2 # When I ctrl/Q'ed my running tcpdump, it completed just fine, which supports my contention that the library is not deleted until all open channels against it are closed. So using symlinks to avoid *removing* the library is unnecessary. # cp libpcap.sav libpcap.so.0.6.2 tcpdump runs fine again What if I directly overwrite the library while tcpdump is running? I ran my tcpdump and ctrl/S'ed it. # cp libpcap.sav libpcap.so.0.6.2 When I ctrl/Q'ed my running tcpdump, it segfaulted! Thus, I would say that the main reason to use symlinks when updating libraries is that directly overwriting them causes major problems in programs that have them open. On second reading, this doesn't contradict what Karsten said, except I don't see what the atomicity issue has to do with the issue of open channels to the library in running programs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

via82cxxx_audio module
Hi, Normally I don't stray from stable. I am happy to be a little behind and have it all work together nicely, however I recently got an Acer Aspire 1300 laptop, and the hardware requirements were such that I needed kernel 2.4.20.

I know the correct sound driver is via82cxxx_audio.o. I compile this as a module and there are no errors generated, however when I try to load the module it generates the following error message; using /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/sound/via82cxxx_audio.o /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/sound/via82cxxx_audio.o: unresolved symbol ac97_probe_codec I got the sources from kernel.org and I find it hard to believe that this is a bug in a 2.4 series kernel, but it is not working.

Re: [Fwd: Re: Login to home from work]
That leads me to this thought: if you really want access to a GUI desktop on your home machine, and/or don't want to carry an Putty floppy with you... What about installing (Tight)VNC on your Linux machine, and use its HTTP/Java capabilities to get to your machine from any Internet-connected machine that has a Java-capable browser? The beauty of that is that that web page Kenneth proposes could then have an actual *link* to your X desktop! That is perhaps not too secure, but you could always run apache-ssl, or apache + mod_ssl, with authentication, and use mod_proxy to forward requests to Xvnc.

If anybody could point me in the right direction with the following problem, it would
be most appreciated :)

mod_ssl (through apt), generated server.crt and server.key and signed the certificate
myself.
In httpd.conf I've added the appropriate line to load mod_ssl:
LoadModule ssl_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_ssl.so
and then added the following lines:
IfDefine SSL
VirtualHost _default_:443
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /var/www/site.virtual/htdocs/mystats
ServerName www.webwardrobe.com
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache/ssl.crt/server.crt

SetEnvIf User-Agent .*MSIE.* nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
CustomLog /var/log/apache/ssl_request_log %t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}
x \%r\ %b
/VirtualHost
/IfDefine
However, when I restart apache (apachectl restart), port 443 remains closed.
Shouldn't this port open upon restarting apache?
I guess I'm just being dumb here, so all help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith

Also, sometimes I try to stop the backup process because it is not doing anything and the process won't die. I read that sometimes if a driver gets an I/O error then the process can't be killed and only rebooting the machine will get rid of the process. Is this untrue about not able to kill a process? What about the tape drive though? It does seem to respond better after a reboot. Has anyone had trouble with this drive or driver? Yes, I have had many of the same experiences with the Seagate Travan 4 GB drive. You might get some joy using scsiadd to delete and readd the device. Or, it might not see the drive when you try to readd it. No harm, since otherwise you can't use it again anyway until reboot. Often, I have decided that a particular tape is bad, causing the problems you're seeing, only to find that a retension, plus starting to write at the beginning of the tape again clears everything up. Once the tape screws up, you can pretty much forget about continuing to append. I've had better luck with some IBM OEM Travan drives that I got off EBay. I have heard, and experience confirms, that some of the drives don't have very good motors, and you can tell if you hear the drive continue to reposition multiple times when you put the tape in the drive. It should try once and be through.

Can't install Potato
A newcomer to Debian would like some help, please. I have been using Linux for some time (mainly the various versions of SuSE) and would like to try Debian. However, I can't get it to install. The version is Potato and I am using three Official i386 binary disks. It is on its own hard drive, no dual booting. I install from disk1. All is well at first, and here is what I get when it starts going wrong. (A list of packages scrolls through, too quickly and too long to read) E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1). Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to configure the packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors or errors caused by missing dependances. This is OK, only the errors above this message are imported. Please fix them and run Install again. Enter to continue. (I pressed Enter) (I then set Default paper and configured WVdial.) Setting up ports. Setting up x-server-vga16. No default x server previously set, or previous default removed. Do you want to make the VGA16 server the default? (I selected Yes). Do you want to create the XFree86 configuration file?

Pressing Enter just brings up the multiple X11Trans -- error message again. I have tried installing Debian several times, but each time it just gets as far as this. The only way out is to do a soft reboot with the computer's reboot button. When I reboot and log in, it's in text mode. If I try to get into graphics mode, I get the message: Could not find config file. Tried: /etc/XF86Config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.debian /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config Fatal server error.

Dual Boot with XP
Hi, A quick question. This weekend I need to install Debian and Win XP on the same machine (XP on hda1 and Linux on hdb1-7). I want to know if the procedure is the same as it was when I last did this, with Windows NT, by creating a bootsect.lnx file and editing c:\boot.ini to point at the linux installation, or has XP made it harder to do?

So, am I right then; 1: install XP to hda1 2: install Debian to hdb1-7 3: install lilo to hda 4: edit lilo.conf as above 5: run lilo 6: reboot and select as appropriate Is the right things in the right order?

Fetchmail
Hi, I am newish and have just installed Woody onto two machines at home and I am having a few mail hic-cups. I noticed that there was a global fetchmail facility which I read up on and duly got working. I used to use fetchmail as a user and set a cron job to down load the mail every 10 min, but the global fetchmail options takes care of its own scheduling. What I want to know is, how often does it download mail, and how can I change this time gap? I don't desperately want to change it as it is working fine, I just want to know how it works. Secondly I use one of two machines at any one time and they are setup is the same. I have found that exporting /var/mail from the machine that runs fetchmail enables me to have my mail from which ever machine I book on to. What I want to know is, is this the right way to do it?

Boot Disks
Hi, I have clearly misunderstood the making of boot disks and would like some guidance. I made some for each machine here in case or emergency, and thought I would test them, and each one halted with a kernel panic. I assumed that a floppy in the drive of a working machine followed by the command mkboot as root would create a boot disk from the currently running kernel. The disk booted to a panic. I read over the rather small man page and tried the full complement of switches of mkboot -r /dev/hda3 -i /vmlinuz but still there is a panic I have 2.2.20 and 2.4.28 on each machine, and want to be able to use a floppy to boot one kernel and another floppy to boot another kernel. How do I make these disks? I have tried the man pages and the books on the shelf, but I am not getting it. What is the right way to create the floppy disks I want? Anyone? Keith -- Keith O'Connell.

As must be apparent, I am thinking of taking this mailing list via newsgroups and I just want to see the down side, if any. Keith -- Keith O'Connell. Maidstone, Kent.

LPRng and remote printers
Hi, I have 3 machines here all running Woody and a HP Deskjet attached to one of them. I obviously want all of them to be able to print to the printer. I have spent way to much time trying to get it to work and now am just making the same mistakes over and over. I cannot see the wood for the trees, and would appreciate some guidance. First off I have the printcap for the machine to which the printer is attached aragorn. It works perfectly. Local printing is fine. The printcap was built by lprngtool; lp :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp :sh :ml=0 :mx=0 :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log :cd=/var/spool/lpd/lp :lp=/dev/lp0 :if=/usr/share/lprngtool/master-filter : The print cap I am trying to use for each of the other machines is: rlp :lp=:\ :rm=aragorn:\ :rp=lp:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: Something is fundamentally wrong, and it is me, but I could appreciate a point in the right direction.

GnomeCal and Evolution
Hi, I have just reinstalled Woody from scratch and there is a small cosmetic feature in Gnome. On the menu panel is a small clock that is a fixture to the panel at the right hand side. It pulls up a small PIM called gnomecal, but it would seem that gnomecal is balking at my setup. I get an error message of; Gdk-WARNING ** locale not supported by C library Segmentation fault How do I fix this as I am assuming this is a symptom of a bigger problem waiting to bite me, or better still is possible to get evolution to come up instead when the clock is selected Keith? -- Keith O'Connell.

Nautilus Help
I have just started to use Nautilus and I really rather like it, I especially like the Help tab and the way it supplies you with all the help docs, What I find strange that only a few of the docs come up when selected and that what normally happens is path/file name appears in the location bar at the top of the page and what I then have to do if I want to read it is type, file:// at the front of it each time! This cannot be right, am I likly to have missed something obvious here? Anyone advise me? Keith -- Keith O'Connell. Maidstone, Kent.
